Chapter 951: Latia Becomes a Matchmaker
I heard Guan Yinping say a lot just now, and now Guan Yinping is saying this again, Latia probably understands that Guan Yinping likes Liu Zhang, but he doesn't know how to express it, and his daughter's family is not easy to express.
I'm afraid that if Liu Zhang doesn't take the initiative to say this, this matter will never come to fruition, no wonder Guan Yinping is depressed.
Latia scolded Liu Zhang in her heart, took Guan Yinping's hand and said: "Yinping, I know your difficulties, to deal with that kind of person, we shouldn't take the normal path, if you really take the initiative to tell him, he doesn't know how proud he is, he will look down on you in the future, I will give you a good idea, as long as you succeed, he owes you all his life, and he has to be good to you." ”
"Huh? Do you have such an idea? Well, I don't want him to owe me, as long as he has me in his heart. Guan Yinping only felt that his face was hot, and he didn't know what he was saying in his heart, but he had been hiding these thoughts in his heart for too long.
Since the last time he heard that Liu Zhang died of illness in the Western Regions, Guan Yinping completely confirmed his feelings, but after Liu Zhang returned to Chang'an, he didn't have the courage to say that it wasn't until Liu Zhang, Sun Shangxiang and Xu Zhaoxue were married, Guan Yinping felt a little anxious.
Seeing that the world is about to be unified, after reunification, now everyone knows that Liu Zhang will definitely be the emperor, and it was more troublesome to choose a concubine at that time, Guan Yinping faintly felt that he had no place in his life.
Now that it's hard to find someone to say these words, Guan Yinping is a little bolder, and when he heard that Lathia had an idea, he looked forward to it even more, and asked Latia in a low voice: "What...... What's the idea? ”
Lathia hesitated, clutching a small bottle in her hand, and after a while. It seems that he has just made up his mind to say to Guan Yinping: "There is no turning back when you take out the bow." Have you figured it out? ”
Guan Yinping saw Latia's solemn expression. hesitated for a moment, but thought again, maybe if there was no breakthrough, he would only be able to stay at this step forever, Guan Yinping was scared, and finally nodded fiercely.
Latia took out a vial and handed it to Guan Yinping, as if she was still a little reluctant.
"What is this?"
"This is the snake gall liquid of a desert snake in the Western Regions, which has an aphrodisiac effect. As long as you drink it, it will be chaotic, you go in and pretend to toast the man, and then change the glass, and stay by his side all the time, and within a quarter of an hour, he will not be able to resist doing something to you. ”
"Huh?" Guan Yinping's frightened little face turned white, and he almost fell to the ground with the vial of medicine, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This, how can this work." How can I use this kind of subordinate, then I'm not a mean woman? No, no, no. ”
Looking at Latea's terrified expression. Lathia was very helpless, she just felt that these Han people were really Rory's words, men were grinding and chirping like this, if the men of the Western Regions had a beautiful woman to express their love a little, they would have pounced on it.
I didn't expect women to be like this, and I can't say that I want to educate them.
……
"I see." Huang Yueying listened to Liu Zhang's explanation and repeated: "The meaning of the lord is to set the capital of Beiping for four purposes, first, to control the grassland, second, to control Goguryeo, third, to control the Japanese slaves, and fourth, to regulate the internal balance of the Sichuan army's forces, right?" ”
Liu Zhang nodded: "That's right, what does Yueying think?" ”
"Not good." Huang Yueying said: "I'm just very curious, why is the lord so interested in Goguryeo and the Japanese slaves, according to Yueying's meaning, if we must expand the territory, we might as well expand to the south."
At that time, Emperor Xiaowu, who was about the same as the lord, also went north to the desert and west to Dawan, but Emperor Xiaowu defeated the entire Luo Yue Kingdom, but only captured the north of what is now Goguryeo and set up four counties.
In addition to being more ambitious than Emperor Xiaomu, the lord also attaches more importance to Goguryeo and does not like other territories, and he is particularly concerned about the island country of the Japanese slave country, which I can't understand at all. ”
Liu Zhang patted his forehead, and he knew that Huang Yueying didn't approve of it, and he said so much in vain just now.
As future generations, when it comes to developing Southeast Asia and expanding Northeast Asia, we must expand Northeast Asia.
As long as the capital is set in Beiping, Liu Zhang has absolute confidence that he will completely take over the Korean Peninsula, and the complete control of the Japanese slaves will also be between the fifth and fifth fives, and it will all depend on the development of the navy and opium in the future.
And to the south, those barren lands, Liu Zhang has no interest for the time being, but just let Zhuge Liang see the opportunity to act, take advantage of it, and not take advantage of it.
Liu Zhang was thinking about how to explain, but Huang Yueying spoke first: "But anyway, the lord explained to Yueying like this, even if she doesn't understand it, Yueying shouldn't stop the lord."
What's more, many times, some of the decisions made by the lord duke, such as direct control of the Western Regions and the grasslands, as well as the new policy, Yue Ying didn't understand at the beginning, and it turned out that the lord was not wrong.
It's the same this time, at least within the tolerance of Dahan, Yueying has no objection.
It's just that the capital of Beiping has two big drawbacks, the first will be opposed internally, Yueying has already told the lord just now, and with the lord being wise, he should also know, so he will do so much to cover up.
Another point is the control of the Han Dynasty's own territory, Yizhou in the west, which is our base camp, should not lose control, the Western Regions, the land is poor and sparsely populated, as long as the Han Tianwei is still there, the Western Regions will not get out of control, they have no strength to rebel.
The key is in the south, Jiangdong has not yet been defeated, if it is defeated, it will be where the control of our Sichuan army is the weakest, and Jiangdong people have always been conservative and not developed.
Once we settle in Beiping, it is too far away from Jiangdong, I am afraid it will be difficult to communicate between the north and the south, if our strength is enough, Jiangdong will not get out of control, but it will definitely become very poor because it is far away from the royal capital.
Yueying felt that the place should definitely not be a poor place, Yueying had traveled to Jiangdong, although it was not prosperous, but the land was fertile and similar to Jingzhou, we should develop it.
But if we set the capital in Beiping, it will be difficult for us to develop there, and we will waste a piece of fertile land in vain. ”
Huang Yueying's words made Liu Zhang a little surprised to hear it, the land of Jiangdong, before the Southern Song Dynasty, had never been the economic center of China, but it was a bit of a wilderness.
The main grain producing areas have always been dominated by Jingzhou, Jiangdong, which is now the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as part of Fujian and Guangdong, has been very poor, the Southern Song Dynasty prospered for a short time, and then because of the closure of the country, it declined again, and it did not develop again until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
It is not because the land in Jiangdong is not good, but because it is separated by the vast Yangtze River and far away from the ruling center, so it has not developed, which is really undesirable.
"For the first point, most of our current civil and military forces will definitely oppose the relocation of the capital, so I asked Cao Chong not to disclose the purpose first, but to dredge the roads from Jixian to all parties first, increase the population and prosperity, and prepare material conditions for Dingdu.
Including canonizing you as the king of Yan, it is also to cover up the construction of some important facilities, such as the imperial palace, when the time comes, I will not ask for their consent, and find a way to deceive all the civil and military forces to come to Beiping, and the capital will be counted. ”
"Tricked into Beiping?" Huang Yueying was taken aback.
"For the second point, the territory of Jiangdong really shouldn't be wasted, Yueying, I have an idea, spend decades, or even two or three generations, to open a grand canal, from north to south, so that the connection between the north and the south will be greater, and at the same time, water can be diverted from the south to the north to make up for the lack of water resources in the north."
"This is a big project, and it costs people and money."
"Yes."
Liu Zhang nodded, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal must have cost the people and money, but Liu Zhang was not too worried, because the reason why Emperor Yang of Sui spent so much on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that it caused a large-scale rebellion.
It's just because of two points, the first Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wants to take a big boat to play and build palaces everywhere near the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the cost of his play is more than the cost of building the Grand Canal.
There is also the fact that Emperor Yang of Sui was too anxious to spend so little time to build the Grand Canal, of course, it cost the people and money.
Liu Zhang will not have the leisure and elegance to go on a boat to play, nor will he have that time, and he will do what he can, depending on the financial resources of the Han, if the financial resources allow, he will speed up the opening progress, and if he is constrained, he will take care of the key departments first.
Now Liu Zhang is only asking Cao Chong to dredge the passage from Beiping to the Yellow River. Moreover, such a river is completely in the interests of businessmen, and it is possible to raise funds from businessmen.
Step by step, even if it costs a lot, it should not shake the country's foundation, and this is a matter of great merit.
Throughout history, which thing that has benefited China for thousands of generations is not something that costs the people and money or even provokes the people to revolt, and if you don't have the courage to work the people and hurt the money, then you don't need to be a king.
"Although there are still some places, Yueying has reservations, but since the lord has decided, Yueying will definitely give her full support." Huang Yueying said firmly to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang's heart was relieved, and it was better to say it.
"Don't hesitate, those two are reconciled."
Outside, Latia said eagerly to Guan Yinping, I don't know why, at the beginning Liu Zhang gave Huang Yueying "careful apologies", Latia felt better, but now seeing Liu Zhang, Huang Yueying nodded firmly, as if she forgave Liu Zhang, but she felt uncomfortable.
"I ......"
Guan Yinping didn't know what Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying had to do with themselves, but he didn't want to ask Latia anymore.
"Don't hesitate, let's get in, or how long will it be delayed? Think about it, wait for your gray hair, but the man accompanying you is not him, and think of today's hesitation, what do you feel in your heart? ”
"Wait for me to have gray hair?"
Guan Yinping was stunned, and suddenly that picture appeared, when he was old, he couldn't walk, but he was not the person he liked when he was young, and then he remembered today's hesitation, at that time, what was his mood?
Guan Yinping thought of this, and without hesitation, he pinched the small medicine bottle and stepped forward, but Guan Yinping seemed to think of something and suddenly turned around. (To be continued......)
