Excerpt Ziyu didn't seem to hear Yang Hao's words, she coughed, stepped forward, and pointed into the distance with a horsewhip: "The northwest land is known as bitter cold, but that is for the entire vast northwest land. As the saying goes, 'the Yellow River is harmful, only one is rich', this place has fertile soil, sufficient water sources, as long as there are fewer wars, there are Ming master management, it is the rice grain river outside the plug, and then go to the west, there is a stretch of boundless grassland, the water and grass are abundant, you can raise cattle and sheep, war horses, and can also trade with the big food, Persia, Tianzhu, if it is properly managed, it can become the Jiangnan of the Western Regions."

Yang Hao sighed secretly and kicked the horse's belly to follow.

Excerpt Ziyu said: "From the topographical point of view, Hexi is victorious, and it is also the place where heroes come into play, and the land of Hexi is sandwiched by a first-line road, hanging alone for two thousand miles, controlling the Western Regions in the west, overlooking the Central Plains in the east, condescending, overlooking Helong and Guanzhong, it can be said that it can be attacked and retreated. Now Taiwei has won Yinzhou, Yinzhou Luzhou echoes each other from afar, the north and south of Hengshan have been connected, and with the help of the two states of Linfu, among the northwest vassals, only Taiwei is qualified to be the king of the northwest with Li Guangrui. I don't know what the Taiwei is going to do after he gets Yinzhou? ”

Yang Hao groaned slightly, and said word by word: "Rest the soldiers, make peace with the neighbors, repair water conservancy, develop farming, open up industry and commerce, and expand animal husbandry, and recruit people from all over the world to settle in my house." ”

Zhen Ziyu glanced at him appreciatively and praised: "This is a great goodness. After the chaos, the people are at peace, and if you can do this, you will be supported. Whoever wants to make it chaotic is the common enemy of the people under your rule, and when you raise your arms, you can also join the army. That's good. However, the most difficult thing to conquer is the people's hearts, especially in the Western Regions, where all ethnic groups live together and have their own subordinates, even if they regard you as their co-master, it is difficult for them to get along with each other as easily as the people of the Central Plains. When there are more people under your rule, all kinds of entanglements and disputes arise, and if one is not careful, civil strife will arise, and this must be guarded against. ”

Yang Hao's attention was finally attracted to her business, he nodded solemnly, and said, "I know, for me, even if there are many enemies in the future, the most powerful enemy is also this matter. It is not easy to solve this difficulty, and for the people who have taken refuge in my Luzhou, I plan to fix their household registrations, pay taxes, marry, set up laws, and establish Buddhism......"

He took a breath and said eloquently, "I've already thought about this question. The tribes of the Western Regions lived together, and the previous superiors had always only controlled and gathered the leaders of the various tribes and tribes, which was certainly labor-saving, but once these leaders had different intentions, their tribesmen would also respond, and wars broke out. The establishment of household registers, which can be directly managed to households without touching too much power of the current tribal leaders, is a means of strengthening direct control over the people of the tribes.

Taxes, even if they are set low, must be paid, so that the common people will gradually become clear that there is a higher power above their tribal leaders. In particular, children and newborn babies in the future, knowing this from an early age, can subtly establish the position of the festival in their hearts, and taxes must be collected directly from the household according to the household name, bypassing the tribal head. ”

Excerpt Ziyu sighed softly: "Your methods are not strong, they are always within the acceptable range of others, but every step you take is long-term, so that people will unconsciously fall into your way, with a sinister leader like you, I really don't know if it is a curse or a blessing." ”

Yang Hao looked at her with a smile, his eyes flashing with a strange light: "Don't you think this is Tianzong Wisdom?" Isn't it a good thing to fundamentally resolve the contradictions and disputes between various ethnic groups for the benefit of a thousand generations? Say I think I have a long-term perspective, well......, this is not wrong, my only advantage over others is not the martial arts, but to a certain extent, what I do can always be more long-term than them, this ...... It's one of my 'natural instincts' that others can't learn, and ...... in the future You'll get to know more and more......"

Zhen Ziyu was so uncomfortable by his strange gaze, what 'natural instinct', Yang Hao had something ......to say, and she had a whim: "He ...... me Wouldn't you also use that 'natural instinct' to anticipate the mind and take a long-term view? ”

Thinking that her every move, and even her future life, may have been planned, and before she knew it, she would go step by step according to other people's designs, and she couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly felt that Yang Hao was not as harmless as he behaved to himself, and the proud little fox was a little fried...... Yang Hao didn't know that what he meant would be understood by Zhe Ziyu to herself, and he explained: "To establish the law, all tribes and clans, regardless of Han and Qiang, must have judicial power in the Jiedu Embassy, and now that the tribes have just encountered a great turmoil, they are relying on my protection, and they will make some concessions, which they will agree."

With the judicial power in hand, civil disputes, criminal cases, and many matters related to the vital interests of the people must be controlled by the Jiedu Embassy, which is the key to establishing the authority of the Jiedu Embassy, and this point is solved, even if the Jiedu Envoy cannot replace the control of the tribal leaders over them for the time being, at least it can be equally divided.

And then there's conscription. The common people of all tribes in the northwest are engaged in farming, hunting, and animal husbandry in peacetime, and are assembled as soldiers in wartime, and the agricultural foundation in the northwest is weak, so it is necessary to establish a standing army with a huge number of numbers like the Central Plains, to receive soldiers' salaries and eat military rations, which cannot be supported at all, at least for now. However, a standing army must be established, not only to defend against external enemies, but also to ensure the effective implementation of internal rule. ”

He seemed to have really been well thought out, and he spoke very fluently, but when he said this, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "In the process of building water conservancy, developing agriculture, developing industry and commerce, and animal husbandry, we can strengthen the cooperation and integration between various tribes and tribes, and marriage and Buddhism are a good way to solve the differences in their living customs and cultural concepts." With a common life and a common faith, it is easy for them to identify with each other. But it takes time, and it takes a long time. But I am confident that many others will take the wrong path and detour, and I will bypass it, and if I let my wife implement governance peacefully, after a long enough time, this situation will completely change. ”

Excerpt Yu said faintly: "I'm afraid, no one will sit back and watch you be as strong as that." ”

Yang Hao smiled faintly and said: "Everything is a benefit, there must be a disadvantage, if someone wants to start a war against me, it will only strengthen my internal integration, where are he afraid?" ”

Excerpt Ziyu looked at Yang Hao again, the person in front of her was sometimes as shallow as a stream, sometimes as deep as the sea, she really couldn't guess how much Yang Hao's ambition and scheming had learned.

At this time, Yang Hao sighed and muttered: "However, so many things are easy to say, but it is not easy to do. This is not something I did alone, I need people, I need a lot of talents, I need a lot of talents who are willing to listen to my orders and use them for me, otherwise, no matter how good the scriptures are, if you meet a crooked-mouthed monk, you will have to read it to me, talent......"

Of course, there are talents, people who don't know how to say that the Western Regions are bitter and cold, and they think that there is a barren land, and the people who live there are barren and barbaric, in fact, it is not the case, this is the birthplace of Qin culture and Tang culture, since King Qin Zhao set up Longxi County, here is the northwest important land, and Longxi is the first major military and cultural town in Chang'an in the west during the Tang Dynasty.

Only in the Tang Dynasty, there are countless civil and military generals since they entered the dynasty, but culture is in the hands of a few people, most of these people are children of wealthy families, such people Yang Hao will not do with, but he can't rely on them alone, otherwise even if he becomes the emperor, what appears in front of him can only be a big tail, and the future is endless.

Talent...... I'm not an emperor, and I can't open an imperial examination to take scholars from the people, so where should these talents come from?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Li Yu raised his neck, drank all the wine in the cup, and knelt on the desk drunkenly, suddenly crying loudly.

The former emperor of a country, the country is broken, the family is dead, the temple is gone, the people of Jiangdong pay for their manpower, they are blocked by their former courtiers to ask for debts, and their beloved wife is humiliated, is there anyone in this world who lives more aggrieved than him?

After the slut came back from the palace, he was still in the mood to visit the Qianjin Yixiao Building after bathing and dressing up, thinking of this, Li Yu was ashamed and angry, and flicked the wine glass and flask on the case, and smashed it to the ground.

That night, she also explained to herself that because the prince Dechong suddenly broke in, she was fortunate to get out and was never humiliated, who was she going to deceive with this nonsense? The rules of the palace are strict, and the father and son are also monarchs and ministers, who dares to be so rude? When he was fortunate to be a concubine and palace maid in the "Jinhong Cave Heaven" in the imperial flower garden in the harem of the Tang Kingdom, when did the prince Zhongyu dare to break in?

These days, she often goes to Qianjin Yixiaolou, Li Yu once asked her cronies to secretly follow her, every time she enters the daughter country of Qianjin Yixiaolou, she will disappear for a period of time for no reason, and she is missing, and she doesn't know who she has seen. And he also inquired, the current Shengshang Zhao Guan's family, when he was the Yin of the Nanyafu, he often went to Qianjin Yixiaolou, and now that he is the emperor, his whereabouts are more secretive, who knows if he will go?

Thinking about it this way, could it be that Nuying is shameless and has already fornicated with Zhao Guangyi?

The more Li Yu thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and then he thought of Xiao Zhouhou, he really had the heart to kill her, but he didn't dare, it was easy to kill Nuying, how could he afford to be angry with the Son of Heaven? When he found out that Xiao Zhou often went to Qianjin Yixiao Building, and now the saint often goes to that place, he even called back the family sent to follow Nuying, what can he do if he discovers the truth? That man is not something he can resist, and he will not be embarrassed by himself when the time comes?

Today, Nuying went to Qianjin Yixiao Building again, presumably the official family has also gone, and the two have a tryst in their private room, lingering to death...... The more Li Yu thought about it, the more angry he became, he yelled violently, overturned the table in front of him, spilled the ink inkstone wine jug on the ground, and the subordinate sneaked out of the door to look inside, and saw that the county grandfather, who borrowed wine every day to drown his sorrows, and was drunk today, was going crazy, so he stuck out his tongue and retracted his head.

Li Yu raised his tear-stained face, looked at the screen of the butterfly on the opposite side, and vaguely seemed to have returned to the Imperial Flower Garden of the Tang Kingdom, the poetic life of the spring breeze and warm rain, and the flying geese. At that time, chanting flowers and making the moon, chanting sutras and worshipping Buddha, poems and songs, chess and painting, wine and feasts, singing, dancing and drinking, so unhappy, now compared to prisoners, only a pair of shackles and handcuffs are missing, which makes people so sad, sad and sad, welling up in their hearts, and can't help but chant loudly:

"When is the spring flowers and autumn moon, how much do you know about the past, Xiaolou had an east wind last night, so the country is unbearable to look back at the moonlight.

The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed. Ask how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward......"

Li Yu muttered, closed his eyes and wept, and suddenly a sound of footsteps came into his ears, and Li Yu shouted: "Who let you in?" Get out! ”

At this time, he smelled a faint fragrance at the end of his nose, which was the smell of Nuying, Li Yu was like a thunderbolt, his back stiffened all of a sudden, like a cat that had met a natural enemy, he hunched his back, wheezing for a long time, and his eyes never dared to open.

He didn't dare to look at Nuying's delicate face, he didn't dare to look at her graceful body, which should have been his exclusive stunner, but now he was taken away by a man who was stronger than him and made him irresistible, and he could only be at a loss, he didn't dare to look at Nuying anymore, seeing her, it was like seeing his own shame, he just wanted to escape...... Li Candle's chest rose and fell, and he gasped for a long time, and suddenly got up and staggered towards the back of the house.

"Stop!"

Xiao Zhou broke off after drinking, and his voice was full of pathos.

This man is her man, since she was fifteen years old, the only man who has been with her so far, in her heart, he is full of splendor, amazing talent, is the best man in the world, but since he left the temple in a hurry and moved north to Bianliang, he has disappointed her more and more. There is no undefeated hero in the world, when he encounters a more powerful enemy, he can't lose the country, he doesn't have to be the strongest man in the world to be called a man, but even if he loses, he should live with integrity and live like an upright person, his cowardice, selfishness, and narrow-mindedness are things that she couldn't see before, but now he can see them in front of her.

Li Yu stood still and didn't look back.

Xiao Zhouhou glanced back, walked over and grabbed his wrist, and said, "Follow me!" ”

Li Yu was furious, his sensitive genius heart was already full of holes, and he couldn't stand any stimulation anymore, when did Nuying talk to him in such a tough tone? Could it be that he climbed up to that person and was so majestic as his unsightly underground lover?

Li Yu shook his hand heavily and yelled: "This is still my home, I can go wherever I want, why should I go with you?" ”

Xiao Zhou was stunned for a moment, tears quickly filled her eyes, and she sobbed and said: "You have a hangover all day long, except for self-pity, what have you done for this family?" Didn't you just want to be happy, but you didn't know how to seek treatment, so that the country was ruined and your family was ruined, and you were detained like a prisoner? You only complain about the sky, but have you ever done anything for this family? ”

Xiao Zhouhou was angry, Li Yu's arrogance disappeared again, he turned around angrily, pulled his legs and left, and Xiao Zhouhou hurriedly chased after him.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "you...... What do you say? ”

Li Yu's eyes widened in horror, his back was full of cold sweat, and he woke up with drunkenness: "Absconding from Beijing? This...... These days, you often go to the Qianjin Yixiao Building to walk around, not to have a tryst with the official, but to discuss this matter with others? ”

Xiao Zhouhou's apricot eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "What are you talking about?" You...... Do you think that when I went to that daughter's laughing building, I was in fornication with others and did not do that promiscuous act? ”

Li Yu knew that he was speechless, but he was silent. Xiao Zhouhou stared at him for a long time, and sneered: "Hello, hello, it turns out that you think of my Zhou Nuying so dirty. I said why are you so sad, you have a hangover every day, you think ......, hey! Since you think that I am going to have a tryst with the official family, why don't you show the majesty of the head of your family and a dignified husband to catch the adulterer and adulteress right? Is all you have to do is to drink your sorrows and make a name for yourself in this room? ”

Li Yu was ashamed of what she said, and begged: "You...... Don't say it, you don't know how much I've endured these days......"

Xiao Zhou Hou saw his haggard appearance, and his sideburns were already showing a trace of white hair, and his heart couldn't help but soften, so he immediately kept silent. Li Yu held her hands in surprise and joy, and said movingly: "Nuying, you are scheming and thinking about escaping from Bianliang, it seems that you really have nothing to do with the official family...... Nothing, it's me who blames you. ”

Xiao Zhouhou said faintly: "Of course you are very happy with me, I know." But in your eyes, what is the difference between me and your cherished ancient paintings, a rare book, a guqin, and a Qiba? When did you think that I am also a living person, and you also have my thoughts, when have you understood my heart. Saying that, Xiao Zhouhou couldn't help but shed tears.

Li Yu said with a red face: "Nuying, it's wrong for your husband, it's all your husband's fault." That day...... When you entered the palace to make a pilgrimage to your mother, did you really not be insulted by the official family for your innocence? ”

Xiao Zhouhou was furious, shook off his hand and shouted, "Is this the only thing you care about?" Have you ever cared about my life and death? What if you know this? If I am really humiliated by Zhao Guangyi, do you want to seek justice for your mother-in-law, or do you want to divorce me with a letter of resignation? ”

Li Yu said sneeringly: "I...... Of course I have you in mind, and if I don't care about you, I'm ...... How could I ask about it? ”

Xiao Zhouhou glanced at him with disdain, and sighed helplessly: "I said it, that day the prince Dechong somehow went to look for him like crazy, and the palace servants couldn't stop him, Zhao Guangyi had no choice but to let me go, and took the prince in, so I escaped the catastrophe." ”

Li Yu was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good, Nuying, I really blame you." ”

Xiao Zhouhou said gloomily: "But I can escape for a while, I can't escape for a lifetime, I can hide this month, what should I do next month?" The woman who died in the country is as cheap as a piece of gold. If Zhao Guangyi wants to use a strong concubine, and the concubine is a weak woman, how can he resist? That's how to escape. ”

As soon as he said about escaping, Li Yu became nervous again: "Today, in the hands of the Song family, where can we escape?" Dali? Khitan? Or overseas Goryeo and Dongying? Can we get away with it? Once the official family finds out, it will make the army come to chase after us, and it will be difficult for us to fly, and then we will fall into the hands of the official family, but there will be no way out. ”

Xiao Zhouhou endured his anger and said, "So, what can the husband do?" When you enter the palace for the pilgrimage, the concubine was humiliated by Zhao Guangyi, so you swallowed your anger and continued to be your prince of Longxi? ”

Li Yu's old face was flushed with shame, and when she mentioned Longxi, she suddenly remembered something again, and wondered: "No, Yang Hao is also a courtier of the Song family, why is he willing to take the risk to save you and me from leaving?" Well, ......, he generously donated money to support me, and made arrangements early to risk killing for you and me to take refuge, could it be ...... Could it be ......"

Xiao Zhouhou didn't know much about the reason for this, and when he heard that he seemed to be aware of it, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Li Yuhu said suspiciously: "Could it be that Yang Hao also covets your appearance and wants to beat your idea?" ”

Xiao Zhouhou's eyes widened, and his face gradually showed an angry look, and he suddenly raised his jade palm and slapped Li Yu in the face!
