Above the front hall, Liu Xiu sat in the middle, Yan Zhong sat on his left, and Meng Da stood on the right with a bunch of official documents in his hand. It's a shame that this is a new paper from Yizhou, very light and thin, if it is all bamboo slips, probably these official documents can bury him.
Li Ru, the assassin of Yizhou, and Zhang Chao, the Taishou of Shu County, have already completed their reports, and they are listening to the report of Wang Yun, the Taishou of Qianwei. Wang Yun has been in office for less than two years, but he has many years of experience in the implementation of the new policy, and the implementation of the new policy in Qianwei is smoother than that of Shu County.
Liu Xiu was very satisfied, Wang Yun's ability naturally went without saying, after suppressing it for so many years, he finally waited for his own opportunity, and this energy burst out all of a sudden, which was simply jaw-dropping. Half of Qianwei County is in the Chengdu Plain, half is in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, there are many barbarians in the mountains, and the leaders of those barbarians are in danger and have never been very cooperative. After Wang Yun arrived, he first said all the good things, and the truth was explained over and over again, looking honest and deceitful, but no one thought that after half a year of preparations, he suddenly turned his face and led more than 500 county soldiers to kill one of the most arrogant leaders. The son of the head man was marrying, and the heads of the neighborhood all came to visit, and they were blocked by Wang Yun, and their faces were so frightened that they were colorless.
However, Wang Yun did not kill anyone, he made an impassioned speech in front of more than 100 people, once again talking about the benefits of the new deal and the sincerity of the general Che Cai, and personally explained the changes brought about by the new deal in the state. He has heard these words countless times, but those who are attached to him are unwilling, you still don't agree to such a good thing, do you have to force Wang Taishou to kill people? So Wang Yunbing signed a peace treaty with those leaders without blood, and made a bloody alliance. Promise never to default.
The signing of this covenant not only gnawed the last hard bone, but more importantly, established Wang Yun's prestige, which was better than simply picking up the sword and killing those leaders to a river of blood at that time. Since then. Wang Yun's decree passed through the whole county without hindrance.
"Zishi, you have worked hard." After Wang Yun's report was finished, Liu Xiu said with satisfaction: "Thick accumulation and thin hair, you, Wang Zuozhicai, are now soaring to the sky." β
Wang Yun smiled: "General, in fact, this is the credit of the general's new policy." Everyone is profit-seeking. If there were no interests, those people would not be so submissive. With the interests of the world, we can combine the power of the world, and the minister is just to follow the general and follow the tail. β
Liu Xiu laughed, pointed at Wang Yun and said, "Look, you see, this Bingzhou person will also be flattering." β
Li Ru bowed and said, "General." The minister thought that the words of the master were true, and there was no sycophancy. What he said is exactly what we experienced. The General's New Deal did not harm the interests of the Great Clan. It is also appropriately inclined to the common people, with very few opponents and many supporters, which cannot be matched by any New Deal. Yizhou's ability to achieve such good results in two years is of course related to Yizhou's original solidity, but more importantly, the general's new policy takes care of the interests of all parties, reduces resistance, and allows the new policy to be carried out smoothly without making a big move, which is unprecedented. β
Liu Xiu waved his hand. Motioned to Li Ru to stop talking. However, he felt that Li Ru really got to the point. Historically, reform has been the most difficult because most reforms are aimed at redistributing existing wealth, an approach that is bound to offend vested interests and provoke strong resistance, even if it is enforced by government force. In the end, it is easy to cause the ruling class to drift away. Among the reforms, Shang Ying's reform was the most successful, but he himself was killed in the end, and his success lies in the fact that although others died, the new law was retained. However, many reformers in later generations died in government, whether it was Wang Anshi or Zhang Juzheng, it was no different.
Reform has never been an easy task, if you want to reverse the wheel of history, you must not only have strong strength, but also wisdom, Liu Xiu has personally experienced the tide of reform, and also understands the tragedy of those reformers in history, of course, he will see farther than others in this regard.
"I'm going to Jingzhou to fight soon, and this battle is estimated to take two or three years. In the two or three years that I have been away from Chengdu, you have to help each other. Liu Xiu looked at the few people in front of him and was very happy. Li Ru is a assassin, but he is a newcomer, Zhang Chao and Wang Yun are both old people in his shogunate, and it can be said that it is a very proper arrangement for them to control the real power and balance Li Ru. Yan Zhong and the eldest princess are sitting in Chengdu, coupled with the help of Heavenly Master Dao to stabilize people's hearts, the situation in Yizhou is on the rise again, and there should be no serious contradictions in a short period of time.
After listening to the report and sending Li Ru and the others away, Liu Xiu looked at the money, grain and military records, and said to Yan Zhong: "Sir, I want to ask you to sit in Chengdu this time." β
Yan Zhong nodded: "Please rest assured, Zhong will do his best to make the general have no worries." β
"I'm relieved of this." Liu Xiu closed the album, "It's just that the Liangzhou sergeants don't want to travel far, and I don't want to use them too early." Please pay attention to one or two and be prepared. β
Yan Zhong bowed down and answered. Liu Xiu only recruited more than 10,000 people from the Han Seventh Battalion in Liangzhou this time, and none of the Qiang Seventh Battalion moved, and the other 20,000 people were all Yizhou troops. Liu Xiu's reason was that the Qiang people were not suitable for the interior, and it was okay for them to participate in the war for a short time, but if they left their hometowns to fight for a long time, the morale of the army would inevitably be unstable, so let them prepare first and then enter the battlefield at the appropriate time. But Yan Zhong knew that Liu Xiu wanted to give most of his military exploits to the people of Yizhou and Bingzhou, and did not want Liangzhou to become dominant.
Yan Zhong can understand, anyway, the Liangzhou Han Seventh Battalion is also a Liangzhou force, they are brave and good at fighting, and they are mainly cavalry, so they must be a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, as for the Qiang people, if they don't participate, they won't participate. Power is about balance, and it is not necessarily a good thing for one family to be dominant.
At the end of the first month, Liu Xiu made all the arrangements, left Chengdu City, and boarded the battleship Longyin, which had been waiting by the river for many days. This is a warship like a small city, 30 zhang long, 13 zhang wide, with three decks, carrying 1,000 people, and there are wooden walls on the side of each cabin, which looks like a three-story small city.
Gan Ning, the governor of the naval division, took his brocade guard, stood proudly on the side of the gunwale, and stretched out his hand respectfully: "General." Please come aboard. β
"Xingba, you're getting richer and richer now." Liu Xiu glanced at the brocade-clothed young men behind him: "I'm under pressure to stand with you, it looks very shabby." β
Gan Ning smiled wryly: "General, I'm also a fat man with a swollen face." You know that, too. They wear all the money I have now. General, do you think you will give me the opportunity to fight two more battles and earn some rewards for meritorious service? β
"You don't cry with me poorly." Liu Xiu scolded with a smile, he paused, and said: "I will take the family pension of your brothers, and you will bear it all." You really can't bear it. β
Gan Ning's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything. He has been taking care of the lives of the brothers who died in the battle to stop Wu Xiong, not only to keep his promise to the dead brothers, but more importantly, to let these living brothers now have no worries and follow him with all their hearts, and they can not hesitate to live and die when they go to the battlefield. But the burden of doing so was indeed very heavy, and he spent all his money. I also have to take money from my family to subsidize it.
Liu Xiu wants to take over this burden, of course, he has the intention of reducing the burden for him, but I am more afraid that he still doesn't want him to cultivate his strength too much. The private part exceeds a certain scale. It's always been a taboo thing. He also understands this truth, but he is reluctant. However, he smelled a little smell from this time when Liu Xiu sent Yan Yan instead of him, the Governor of the Water Division, to Jingzhou first, and now that Liu Xiu made this request again, if he didn't agree again, would Liu Xiu snub him from now on?
Gan Ning hesitated for a long time and bowed to promise.
Liu Xiu smiled silently, strode on the boat, boarded the top Feilu, and overlooked the river. The warships on the river are weaving, covering the clouds and the sun. Spectacular. Liu Xiuyou remembered Liu Yuxi's "Nostalgia for Xisai Mountain". Wang Junlou went down to Yizhou, and the king of Jinling was gloomy.
The iron lock of Qianxun sank to the bottom of the river, and a piece of falling flags came out of the stones.
The past has been hurt several times in the world, and Yamagata is still cold.
Today is the day of home in the four seas, so the base is Xiao Xiao Lu Diqiu.
Wang Jun went down to Yizhou to return to the Three Kingdoms, and he is now under Yizhou to prevent the Three Kingdoms from competing for hegemony. Without the nearly 100 years of mutual slaughter, the vitality of the Han Dynasty was not damaged, and the Hu people in northern Xinjiang would not have had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and the catastrophe of nearly 300 years should have been avoided.
Next, it should be to turn the country into a home. Liu Xiuduan sat in the cabin, looking at the heavy mast shadows in the distance, thinking of the news from Luoyang, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Let's go!" Liu Xiu waved his hand and gave an order. The rumbling war drums sounded and reached the sky, and the most advanced warship received the order, pulled up the cables, and raised a single sail to cover the clear water and green mountains of the four fields. The officials and people who came to watch from both sides of the strait could not help cheering in unison when they saw this formation. The sound of joy stretched far on both sides of the ferry, like thunder in the sky, and the sound of war drums far away.
Watching the battleships in front of him start in turn, Gan Ning ordered to put away the springboard, untie the cables, pull up the iron anchor, raise the sails, and prepare to set off. At this moment, the crowd on the shore suddenly stirred, separated a passage, dozens of horses galloped over, the first horse rushed to the shore, suddenly a rein, the war horse neighed, people stood up, the knight on the horse shouted: "Mrs. Guoshi has arrived-"
Liu Xiu's heart moved, turned his head, looked through the window and looked at the shore, only to see Mrs. Lu holding Zhang Wei's hand in her hand, flying up from the horse, white clothes like snow, fluttering clothes, like flying immortals outside the sky, crossing a distance of nearly ten steps, lightly falling outside the flying house, her face was not red, she was not panting, she slowly stepped into the cabin, and bowed to Liu Xiu.
"Chu State Master Lu Ya, report to the general."
Liu Xiu bowed in and greeted: "Madame's demons are gone, congratulations." β
Mrs. Lu smiled faintly and pushed the slightly nervous Zhang Wei in front of Liu Xiu: "Xiao'er respects the general, hopes to follow the general's achievements, and hopes that the general will be favorable." β
Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei is fifteen years old this year, and according to the current people, he is considered an adult. He has been practicing with his mother since he was a child, and his physical fitness is very good, and his martial arts are also good. However, the title of Heavenly Master will be inherited by his brother Zhang Lu, and he can only do a big sacrifice wine or something at most, and now if he wants to abandon the Tao and follow martial arts, it can be regarded as a good choice.
"Okay, after Pang De and Yan Xing took up their foreign posts, I only had Meng Da by my side, and I was indeed a little too busy. You'll just stay with me for a while. β
Zhang Wei was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Mrs. Lu is also very happy, she can be a personal guard by Liu Xiu's side, and her achievements in the future will definitely not be low, Pang De and Yan Xing around Liu Xiu have been released one after another, and they will at least be a captain when they go out. Now Yan Xing, as the deputy general of the forward, and Yan Yan, the deputy governor of the water division, have rushed to Jingzhou, and he should be able to lead an army alone after the battle is over this time. What made her even more satisfied was that Liu Xiu kept Zhang Wei by his side, so that their mother and son could see each other often, and showed that he didn't have too many ideas, which made her very relieved.
"Thank you, General."
