Chapter 189: Immigrating to the edge of the town

PS: It's the end of the month, and I'm looking for a guaranteed monthly pass for the next month.

After Liu Ling finished talking about what Dongye had seen, he silently closed his mouth, lowered his eyes, and waited quietly.

Liu An's face was a little dark, and there was more blame than joy in his eyes, and even a little more anger. He looked at the map that Liu Ling had drawn with a lot of effort, and his slender fingers tapped on the desk, like a war horse galloping. Liu Ling listened and listened, and suddenly remembered the story that Zheng Er had said, and imagined the scene when Liang Xiao and the others galloped on horseback, and Wei Qing stretched out his hand from the smoke and dust and picked up Zheng Er's waist, and couldn't help but be stupid.

Will one day, Liang Xiao also gallop on a horse and pick me up?

"Uh-huh!" Liu An saw that Liu Ling's face was wrong, and coughed unhappily. Liu Qian, who was sitting on the side, smiled secretly, and when he saw Liu An's majestic gaze sweeping over, he hurriedly suppressed his smile and pretended to be serious.

"Ling'er, I'm afraid it's unlikely. Not to mention whether the Son of Heaven can agree, I have been running Huainan for so many years, how can I give up if I give up. Besides, even if I am willing to endure such hardships, are those customers willing? It was easy to gather 3,000 guests, could it be dispersed all at once? ”

Liu Ling pondered for a moment. "This is true of what my father said. However, there is no foresight. My father is doing great things, how can he advance without retreating? The daughter is not filial, and she is willing to camp an overseas cave for her father. In the future, it will be a fief for her daughter, and if she doesn't hide it, it will be a place to hide. ”

Liu An was still hesitating, but Liu Qian's eyes lit up, and he groaned slightly, grabbing the conversation. "Father, son-in-law also thinks what my sister said is reasonable. It's rare for my sister to have such filial piety, so my father might as well fulfill her. It's always good to have one more preparation. ”

"You know what?!" Liu An shouted: "If your sister goes to run overseas, who will be in charge of Chang'an's affairs." You? ”

Liu Qian was trained to be red-faced. Don't say anything for a while. Liu Ling crooked his mouth. He also said: "Father, it doesn't take much time to run overseas, and I can still take care of Chang'an's affairs for the time being." There are also a lot of talents under my brother's command, so I will spend some time thinking about picking a few who can succeed me, and when the time comes. It's not too late for me to get out of Chang'an. ”

Liu Qian was relieved and hurriedly agreed. "Yes, yes, my sister is reasonable, and she is not in a hurry."

Liu An looked at this pair of children and couldn't help sighing. "It's a pity that you're a daughter. If it's a man, that's great. ”

……

Yan Zhu's errand in Dongou went well. The Minyue soldiers retreated, and Dongou was preserved, and the king of Dongou was naturally overjoyed. It is also extremely respectful to Yan Zhu and his party. Not only did Yan Zhu's bags double, but even Liang Xiao and the others also got a little oil and water. Of course. Compared to Yan Zhu's, it's not worth mentioning.

As the saying goes, the mouth of eating people is soft, and the hands of people are short, and the king of Dongou put forward a difficult problem to Yan Zhu: attached.

The so-called attached is to go to the king's number, which belongs to the Han land. I will no longer be a king, I will be the people of the Han Dynasty. It is estimated that the king of Dongou was also bullied by Minyue miserably, when he was the kingdom, he could only ask the court to mediate, if it was attached, the Han would have the responsibility to protect him in the future, and Minyue could no longer bully him.

The king of Dongou was very sincere, not only took the initiative to ask to go to the king, but also asked to move the people inward, no longer bordering Minyue, I want to move to the interior, far away from Minyue.

Of course, this is a great achievement, but this matter is also beyond the scope of Yan Suke's power, and he must report it to the imperial court. It is good to say that internal relocation involves a question: where will hundreds of thousands of people in Dongou move to, and who will be responsible for various expenses?

Yan Zhu did not dare to be arbitrary, so he wrote a chapter and asked the Son of Heaven for instructions.

Dongye is not close to Chang'an, and it takes at least half a month to come and go. Seeing that Yan Zhu had no intention of leaving, the Lang officials, who were like arrows, couldn't help but have some discussions in private. They are all people who are close to protecting and helping each other, and most of them know that the king of Dongou is going to move inward, so they naturally talked about this issue.

That night, several people gathered around the fire, drank wine, and chatted. Most of the officials were northerners, and they were very unaccustomed to this kind of wet and cold weather, so they wore all their winter clothes on their bodies, baked them on the fire, and shivered from the cold, so they could only rely on drinking to keep warm.

"Ah Xiao, tell me, if you move inward, where will you move to?" Li Jiao arched Liang Xiao's shoulders and said with a big grin.

Liang Xiao refused. "This is a matter for the imperial court, and there is a son of heaven to discuss with the ministers, how can we discuss it casually?"

"Why can't you talk about it?" Li Jiao said: "As a Lang official, once he is released, he will at least be a county commander and a county lieutenant, how can he not be familiar with political affairs?" Whether it is the Son of Heaven or the escort of the envoy, it is all to increase knowledge and prepare for becoming an official in the future. Alas, do you think that's the reason? ”

While cursing the damn weather, the Lang officials echoed Li Jiao with gossip, and they were not ashamed to take the world as their own responsibility. Liang Xiao was infected by their passion, but he still smiled: "You guys, forget it, your mind is good, but how many days have you read the book?" Riding horses and archery, fighting with people, you are doing it, but if you really want to manage government affairs, you have to be a scholar like Lord Yan. ”

"Hey, you kid, why are your arms turned out?"

"Be realistic. If nothing else, let you look at the list of a county and calculate the money and grain, do you have the patience? ”

The Lang officials laughed, and one of the Lang officials waved his hand disdainfully. "That kind of thing, just leave it to the reader, how can you do it yourself. Do you know what it means to rule by inaction? It's that we just drink and leave the matter to our subordinates. You say, right? ”

Liang Xiao didn't say anything more. I can't make sense with these rough people. It has been nearly 70 years since the early Han Dynasty implemented the rule of inaction, and it has to be said that in the minds of many people, the idea of rule by inaction is deeply rooted. Where can they see that the rule of inaction is no longer adapted to the new situation.

Seeing Liang Xiao silent, the Lang officials were even more proud, you say a word, I say it happily. In their hearts, no matter how smart Liang Xiao is, after all, he is still a little brother who has just joined the company for less than half a year, and compared with them, his experience is still too far behind. As they were talking happily, Yan Suke walked in and waved his hand.

The officials immediately closed their mouths, glanced at each other, and then stood up unhurriedly.

Liang Xiao also stood up.

Yan Zhu walked among them, found a place to sit by the fire, stretched out his hands to roast the fire, and said slowly, "Sit down." ”

The officials reluctantly sat down. With Yan Zhu present, they were no longer as relaxed as they were just now, they were like gourds with sawed mouths, they didn't say a word, and they didn't even have a smile line on their faces. Yan Zhu ignored them and said casually: "Liang Xiao, although you don't read much, you are quite insightful. What do you think about the internal relocation of Dongou City? ”

Liang Xiao was silent for a moment, and then excused himself: "My lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right?" ”

Yan Zhu waved his hand. "It's okay, I asked you, if something happens, I'll take care of it."

Liang Xiao smiled. He didn't know what Yan Suke was thinking, but since he said this, he could say it with confidence. Even if Yan Zhu wanted to dig a pit for him, Wei Qing and Qin Ge would wash his name.

He pondered for a moment, and asked without answering: "I don't know where do you think the imperial court will move the Dongou monarchs to?" ”

Yan Zhu stared at the fire, an obscure light flashing in his eyes. "What do you think?"

"If it's not unexpected, it should be around Lianghuai, and it may also be near Jiangduguo."

Yan Zhu's eyes shrunk slightly, noncommittal. "Is that right?"

"No." Liang Xiao said without hesitation. Yan Zhu was a little surprised, glanced at him, and then withdrew his gaze, the corners of his mouth picked. "Why?"

"There are two things that are not right." Liang Xiao took a clean wine glass, poured a little wine, washed the wine glass, poured it out, poured more than half a glass of wine, and handed it to Assistant Yan. Yan Zhu hesitated for a moment, took it in his hand, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction.

Liang Xiao said: "The first point is inappropriate, Minyue has sent troops many times, and even did not hesitate to harass Huiji, in order to annex Don'ou. In order to stop them, His Majesty ordered His Majesty to go out on the expedition with a festival. In the midst of the adults' strategizing, the soldiers served on the battlefield to repel Minyue. Now the relocation of Dongou is tantamount to giving up the land of Dongou to the inside. My lord, where is your credit? ”

Yan Zhu didn't move, but the wine glass in his hand shook, and a few drops of wine splashed out of the glass and fell into the fire, snorting.

"Moreover, whether it is Jiangdu or Huainan, mergers have become commonplace, and hundreds of people are on the verge of bankruptcy. Hundreds of thousands of people in Dongou moved over, where did the land come from to distribute it to them? If the land problem cannot be solved, how can they be guaranteed to live and work in peace and contentment? ”

Yan Suke's nose sucked, took a breath, and slowly spit it out again.

"What if you think so?"

Liang Xiao smiled bitterly again. Yan Zhu saw it and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just small talk, out of your mouth, in my ears, no one will spread it." You also remember, just listen to it, don't spread it, so as not to cause inconvenience to Liang Xiao. ”

The Lang officials looked at each other, and Li Jiao gave Liang Xiao a look one after another, telling him not to say anything more. Liang Xiao was indifferent. On the way to Dongye, he heard Liu Ling talk about a lot of things, especially about the southeast area. Coupled with his knowledge of history, he has more far-reaching insights on this type of issue than Yan Suke. He originally planned to find an opportunity to tell the Son of Heaven after he went back, but now that Yan Zhu took the initiative to listen, how could he let go of the opportunity.

Besides, he also wanted to see what Yan Suke's intentions were.

"Since the adults are gracious, I will say, if you make a mistake, please ask the adults for advice." Liang Xiao said a few polite words, and added some wine to Yan Zhu. "Instead of letting Dongou move inward, it is better to immigrate to the edge of the town. The landless people in the Jianghuai region were moved to Dongou and Huiji, and they were encouraged to develop wasteland. ”

"Immigrant town?" Yan Zhu was stunned, and looked at Liang Xiao directly, his eyes shrunk, full of doubts and surprise. "You...... How did you come up with this plan, who was the master who guided you? ”

Liang Xiao smiled. "Do you think this is a feasible solution?"

Yan Zhu realized that he was out of shape, and quickly withdrew his gaze and laughed twice. "It's a good idea, but it's ...... The time has not yet come. Liang Xiao, you have insight, but you still owe some experience, and in a few years, you will understand. ”

Liang Xiao was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed slightly. "Thank you for your advice." ——
