Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Qiuzi City.

Wu Qing summoned 30 representatives of more than 3,000 people in the Governor's Palace, which was only a variety of people from all over Shu, like the people from the Lingnan area, who could not arrive until May.

After bowing, the representatives of the liuren quieted down, and they all lowered their heads and waited for Wu Qing to fall.

In the somewhat dimly lit lobby, Wu Qing looked at these former high-class figures, but now they have become so ragged, and he sighed in his heart.

"This king does not talk nonsense, but you must keep in mind what you have said."

The representative of the rogue hurriedly agreed, "What His Highness said, the criminals dare not not remember." ”

So, Wu Qing said slowly: "It is the king's idea to let you flow people to the Western Regions, and it is also an opportunity for you to make up for your mistakes, if you can give full play to your wisdom and talent in the construction of the Western Regions, then your children and grandchildren will enter the school and participate in the Great Zhou Imperial Examination." Of course, those of you who are disdainful of Da Zhou, whether it is swearing or cursing, will be kept in my heart, but if you want to gain recognition and obtain food, money, and so on, then you must pay your own labor. ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion on behalf of these thirty streamers, and the sound of whispering sounded, but then it quieted down, to be honest, there is no one among these streamers who does not resent the empress and Da Zhou, it is because of the empress, it is because of the cool officials, let their family be ruined and reduced to slavery, who does not hate? But can hate solve a qiē? What is the point of living if you live with hatred every day? To get revenge? To form an army? How easy is it to say?

But the king of Wei in front of them gave them a way to live, a way to the light. The path to regaining a new lease of life. Of course, they also know that the road will be difficult, but it is worth trying. It's worth the struggle. Because they heard from the words of King Wei the unparalleled self-confidence, and it was this self-confidence that made them have to believe.

Hope always brings warmth and courage to people.

So, an elderly man raised his head, met King Wei's gaze, and said slowly: "The sinners want to ask His Royal Highness the King of Wei, what can the sinners do in the Western Regions?" ”

There was approval in Wu Qing's eyes. Then he said slowly: "Starting from me, the Western Regions will be the land of my Great Zhou, and you." It is to work with me to completely turn this Western Regions into the land of the Great Zhou. The trade routes were connected, and the East and the West had frequent exchanges and trade, making the Great Zhou the richest country in the world and the most powerful empire in the world. Let the world have a big Zhou dream! ”

The representative of the stream can still understand the first half of the paragraph. But in the second half, I don't understand, what East and West, what empire, what world, what Da Zhou dream. But even if you don't understand it, you can realize that what His Royal Highness King Wei said must be a very beautiful thing. And this matter requires them to dedicate their strength.

However, His Royal Highness King Wei still didn't say what they should do. What are you going to do, the Liuren delegates showed hesitation on their faces. The old man was even more confused.

Wu Qing was stunned. Then he laughed at himself in his heart, he has been a little arrogant recently, so that he is a little delusional, and he has been talking for a long time, and he has not even made it clear what these rogues are going to do. But he has already stated the ultimate goal, so he should work in this direction.

Liuren did not freeze to death in the whole winter, so this made Wu Qing very pleased, and he also regretted killing the two scribes, he could only pay for his family members in Zhongjin, and his son inherited his father's business and became a scribe of the Governor's Mansion.

So Wuqing divided the Liuren into thirty villages, built and expanded the city of Qiuzi, and prepared to meet the coming 80,000 people. It has also established three schools in primary and secondary schools, and the primary school teaches the "Three Character Classic" compiled by Wu Qing, as well as very basic subjects such as "Thousand Character Text" and "Mathematics". Most of the people are scholars, and it is not difficult to find teachers. Except for mathematics, the rest are relatively easy to teach.

Therefore, when the school was built, Wu Qing trained the selected 53 excellent teachers, so that the teachers should pay attention to what they should pay attention to in teaching and what should be omitted, and Wu Qing strictly ordered the teachers to instill some hateful thoughts in the students. If you find out, according to Wu Qing, it will disappear mysteriously.

For the training of mathematics, Wu Qing selected ten young male and female professors of fifteen or sixteen years old, of course, they must be very intelligent.

Although people in this era had arithmetic, it was rarely taught in county and state studies, and now Da Zhou has to study the empress's "Ministers" while studying the Confucian classics, and the Taoist "Lao Tzu" that was originally studied has been abandoned. In any case, in the orthodox state and county studies, there is still no arithmetic, so Wuqing has to start teaching numbers, and then addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, four operations, etc., as well as simple mathematical applications.

In short, after spending a month of intensive training, these ten teachers were also completely cleansed by Wu, and they also became the first batch of mathematics teachers who were not from Qingxin Academy.

And Wuqing is also ready to take Qiuzi as a center to radiate the entire four towns of Anxi, and within ten years, the entire Anxi will be the world of science!

Of course, this must not be too obvious, so it is necessary to have some Confucian classics taught in primary and secondary schools, so that the empress thinks that science will not expand at a deep level, and it will not threaten her dominance.

At the same time, with the arrival of the people, the officials named by Wuqing also arrived in Qiuzi. Eighteen middle- and lower-level officials, including Yao Yuanchong, Song Jing, Xiao Song, Zhang Shuo, He Zhizhang, and Wang Zhong, all went to the Western Regions. Wuqing put Yao Yuanchong in Shule, Song Jing in Qiuzi, Xiao Song in Boxian Town, Zhang Shuo in Yanqi Town, Wang Zhong in Tingzhou, Governor of Ting, and He Zhizhang in Bachang City. All other officials are deputies.

And Wu Qing also had a long talk with these people.

Since being named by King Wei, Yao Yuanchong was not depressed, but had a trace of excitement, because when he went to the Western Regions, he could see a different world, get in touch with different customs, and be able to do something in the frontier. So soon he ordered his servants to pack up their belongings, and he and his wife and family of five embarked on the road to the west. It didn't take long for Song Jing and others to hit the road one by one.

When everyone left the Yumen Pass on the same day and set foot on the land of the Western Regions, they felt the mystery of the Western Regions. Until I came to Qiuzi.

Although it looks dilapidated on the surface, the city is definitely very lively. On the streets, you can see men and women of all colors, as well as strange costumes, etc., which is dazzling.

The banquet was not too grand. King Wuqing of Wei only showed his face slightly, and disappeared after drinking a glass of wine, which made them very disappointed with the science students.

However, when they were soon appointed by the imperial court, they were collectively summoned by Wu Qing.

In the study, Wu Qing asked these more than ten people to sit and ordered people to serve fragrant tea.

Looking around, Wu Qing smiled slightly. said: "The bitter cold land of the Western Regions, named by this king, must all have resentment in your hearts. But. Some of you are disciples of this king, some of you are scholars of science, and some of you have befriended me. That's why I ordered you. Again. The Western Regions need to develop, if this king doesn't point to you, who else can he order? ”

Wu Qing's words made everyone feel warm in their hearts, he was such a humble official, he could be remembered by King Wei, can he not be excited?

Wu Qing continued: "The importance of the Western Regions, this king is here to tell you about it. ”

The Western Regions were very important to the Great Zhou. First of all, let's talk about business. The Western Regions is a link between the Great Zhou and the Western countries, the flow of goods. Let the commodity economy of the Great Zhou Dynasty prosper, and let the people live a prosperous life. It also gave people who were homeless due to land annexation a new way to make a living.

In terms of strategic position, the occupation of the Western Regions blocked the alliance between Tibet and the remnants of the Eastern Turks and Western Turks, and became a barrier. Moreover, it also made Tubo have worries when attacking the land of Guanlong, and would not attack the land of Guanlong lightly.

Judging from the large form shì, the powerful Great Food Empire would sooner or later annex the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu and Tocharo, so the occupation of the Western Regions was also a buffer.

All of the above, Wu Qing asked everyone to carefully govern the towns, treat the ethnic groups of the Western Regions and the Han people equally, and even give preferential treatment, in order to achieve greater ethnic integration and make the Western Regions completely become the land of the Great Zhou, rather than a Western Regions that rebels at any time and does not know tomorrow.

After Wu Qing's conversation, Yao Yuanchong and others finally understood King Wei's policy of governing the Western Regions, although they did not fully agree with it, but it seemed to open a window for them, but what was outside the window still needed them to explore in person.

After a few days in Qiuzi, they went to the cities and took up their posts. The governor of the Qiuzi Governor's Mansion was handed over to Song Jing. Wu Qing is ready to set off to return to the divine capital.

At the same time, Wu Qingzuo invited and recommended Tang Xiujing as the deputy capital protector of Anxi, and inspected the capital protector of Beiting.

When Wu Qing returned to Shendu after more than a year, he felt that he was much more depressed, and ordered Guo Zhiyun to bring Yu Linwei back to the north gate. He returned to the Wei Palace, with his personal guards.

In front of the mansion, Wu Qing saw a large family waiting outside, and the slaves couldn't help but be stunned, but they still greeted each other with a smile. Behind Wu Qing, Yuan Chu Jingzi supported Bai Yina, who had a big belly, and the women were speechless for a while, but they would not say anything outside the mansion.

Wu Qing saw that his children had grown up a lot, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't want to live in a hurry, and he had been in Datang for nearly 30 years.

"Daddy!" A beautiful girl pounced on Wu Qing.

Wu Qing was stunned, is this his own child? If it weren't for the fact that those eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Pei Rou, he couldn't believe that he had such a big child.

Linglong has grown into a big girl, convex and backward, and she is wearing the popular smoky makeup, Wu Qing is a little afraid to hug!

"Daddy!"

After a few sounds, a bunch of children hugged Wu Qing, Wu Qing could only smile and agree, once upon a time, he enjoyed such a scene?

Bai Yina's arrival didn't let the girls say anything, not to mention that this family is all on Wu Qing's body, who can do anything to Wu Qing?

In the study, after listening to Yuwen Su'e's report, I couldn't help but feel a little worried. The empress forbade fishing and hunting, and countless people starved to death in the world, which made Wu Qing very worried.

For the first time, he hated Xue Huaiyi, he didn't expect this bald donkey to offer such a strategy to lose the popularity of the Great Zhou people, the empress was really old and confused.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Qing said fiercely: "Bald donkey, cool official, if you don't get rid of these two, the prestige of the people of the Great Zhou will be lost, and my martial arts family will probably have the disaster of extermination." What's the use of all my efforts!? ”

Yuwen Su'e naturally vaguely knew that Wu Qing seemed to have a lot of secrets, but it was inconvenient to ask, let alone investigate, but for the sake of the king's worries, she was duty-bound, so she said: "Ah Lang, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi each set up their own henchmen, excluded dissidents, and Lai Junchen and others were even more frustrated. The fame of the Great Zhou is in the hearts of hundreds of officials and scholars. The hearts of the people have long been lost, and such a court has never been seen in eternity, so. For the sake of the upper and lower levels of the house, Ah Lang might as well resign from his official position, ask himself to cut off the prince, and return to hiding. ”

Wu Qing was stunned, the words of the senior sister are not unreasonable, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the empress still rules the world with cool officials. The frequency of the prime ministers used is estimated to be unprecedented. On the one hand, he was thinking about the inheritance of Wu and Zhou, and on the other hand, he was thinking about alleviating the contradiction between the Wu family and the Li family. She's an old man's idea. It's so naïve.

In the first month, Wu Chengji falsely accused the imperial heir of being suspected of rebellion, so as to prepare to completely eradicate the stumbling block, and the empress asked Lai Junchen to go to the East Palace to check, and Le Ren falsely accused himself under the coercion of Lai Junchen. After Princess Taiping got the news. He begged the empress to come to the East Palace to see it in person. happened to meet the musician An Jinzang, who was quite a confidant with a sword, and the heir of the Ming Emperor did not rebel. The Empress then ordered the imperial physician to suture the belly with mulberry skin to save An Jinzang. The imperial heir was spared.

Wu San's thoughts placed cronies in the north gate, but Quan Xiancheng refused, and was falsely accused by Wu Sansi, Lai Junchen first extorted money, Quan Xiancheng was not convinced, and was beheaded by Lai Junchen in prison.

After Wu Qing saw this news, he slapped his palm on the desk. "Damn! ”

Immediately, Yuwen Su'e grabbed Wu Qing's hand. Called, "Alang." ”

Wu Qing picked up Yuwen Su'e and walked inside, and in a moment there was a strong and heavy breathing sound, accompanied by the sound of tamping.

With a bang, the desk was reduced to pieces.

Wu Qing met his master in the Buddhist hall after many years of absence.

Looking at the master's white hair and old face, he smiled, and then kowtowed three times, Wu Qing said with tears in his eyes: "Master, after so many years, why don't you come to visit the apprentice?" ”

Qingfeng Daoren smiled faintly: "Hey, the bastard boys have become adults, time flies so fast, okay, don't cry." Am I not here now? You don't seem to want my old man here. ”

Wu Qing hurriedly said: "Master is here, it's too late for the apprentice to be happy, it's just that this is a Buddhist hall, and Master, you believe in Taoism." ”

Qingfeng Dao people laughed and said, "What do you say in that book, 'Red lotus, white lotus root, green lotus leaf, the three sects were originally one family'." I happened to be discussing with lay people in this Buddhist hall. ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, looked at the old lady, and saw that the old lady's temples had been dyed with a wisp of white frost, and then thought that he was already thirty years old in the Tang Dynasty, and couldn't help but feel that the years passed so quickly, as if it was a dream.

"Master likes it, so let's recuperate here, and I will order someone to make a moral celestial statue." Wu Qing said slowly.

Qingfeng Zhenren smiled and said: "Your mind, the old man has received it, and the Dao Ancestor is at ease in his heart." ”

Wu Qing couldn't help it, after accompanying the two old men for half a day, he finally walked towards the palace, he didn't know if he could persuade the empress now, but he should try first.

Seeing that the streets of the city are depressed a lot, and the people have vegetables, Wu Qing is really sad, an emperor who does not let his subjects kill, forbids fishing and hunting, and has to believe in Buddhism and vegetarianism like her, what a fucking miracle in the world! It's no wonder that those officials and people who have just arrived in the Western Regions thought they were hungry when they saw that the meat was like wolves. So it turned out to be like this!

In his previous life, he could always hear the empress of such and such a country, the queen of such and such a country, and so on, and he always felt very fresh and imaginative, so that he had expectations for the only empress and the only empress in the history of the Celestial Empire.

But now, when I really live in this era, I realize that the empress is not good at all, and the empress is not cute at all, and even a little annoying and frightening.

But in any case, he thought he should try, and first cancel the edict prohibiting fishing, hunting, and killing.

When he stepped into Lichun Terrace, Xue Huaiyi happened to come out, shyly and swaggered over, ignoring Wu Qing at all. It is said that this goods were sent by the empress to Shuozhou some time ago to conquer the Eastern Turks, and as a result, the 200,000 troops drew a circle on the border and returned. What Wu Qing couldn't figure out was why he couldn't meet the Eastern Turks' large-scale attack and castrated this donkey.

Xue Huaiyi, who rode on the head of the Great Zhou people and peed, did not mention his pants!

Wu Qing was disgusted for a while, but when he heard the eunuch announce his visit, he had no choice but to go in.

After the monarch and ministers saw the ceremony, the empress naturally wanted to praise her, and asked Wu Qing to tell the whole process of attacking the Western Regions. Wu Qing told them one by one, and Shangguan Wan'er on the side also listened to them with relish, and forgot to sort out the music.

Every time she talked about the excitement, the empress couldn't help but exclaim, and Wu Qing just smiled slightly and continued to tell. Finally, when it came to the governance of the Western Regions, the empress also listened word for word. Moreover, Wuqing's governance method is not unreasonable, after all, the Western Regions have fallen to the hands of Tubo three times, so they can only try new governance methods.

Of course, the empress's attack on the Western Regions is just to highlight the great cause of the Great Zhou, and the importance of the Western Regions cannot be seen from a deep level. Even Di Renjie opposed the stationing of 40,000 border troops in the Western Regions, not to mention other hundred officials. Even Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, who have been competing for the crown prince, have also slandered Wu Qing in this matter. If it weren't for the fact that the empress really didn't want to see the Western Regions, which had cost countless money and food, be occupied again, she might have adopted a policy of restraint.

However, she listened to Wu Qing's strategy and felt that she could give it a try. If it succeeds, it is the luck of Da Zhou, and if it is not successful, it is just a piece of land. (To be continued......)
