At this time, the trade route in the Western Regions was unimpeded, and the four towns of Anxi had achieved initial results after more than a year of development, and the four towns had a prosperous business, and the goods of Dashi, Daqin and other countries were transported to the four towns, and then transported to Shendu by the four towns.

Now, the migrating people have reached 200,000, according to Wuqing's concept, it is necessary to move millions of people to the four towns to ensure that the four towns of Anxi are permanently owned by the Great Zhou, so he gave the empress, and the empress thought of a compromise solution, and the population of the four towns of Anxi was set at 200,000 every year, which was completed in five to six years, so that the task of the local officials was heavy.

Wu Qing then asked Liu Linggu to be the relocation envoy of Anxi, who was specifically responsible for the relocation of the prefectures of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the four towns of Anxi.

Each household registration that moved to the four towns of Anxi adopted a new tax system, that is, apportionment into mu. That is, the Great Zhou Dynasty inherited the Tang Dynasty's rent system, integrated the land tax and household tax, and concentrated them in the fields, and canceled the long-standing Ding tax, that is, the poll tax. In short, each ding can obtain a certain amount of land, and if there is more ding, there will be more land, and if there is less, there will be less land.

Of course, men and women are not the same as granting land, Wuqing in the case of investigating the production capacity of the peasants in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the local officials and Shangshu discussed, and combined with the actual situation of the four towns of Anxi, the male Ding granted 20 acres of land, and the female Ding was 10 acres, and stipulated that all the fields could not be transferred, not bought and sold, if they did not want to farm, the court had the right to take back the fields.

In short, the four towns of Anxi are only implemented, and there is no tendency to expand, so it doesn't matter to the landlords living in the Central Plains, anyway, the place in the Western Regions is not from the Central Plains. The empress wanted to see Wu Zhou have a new land policy, and she knew that the enclosure and annexation of the Central Plains were too strict. What's more, the new land system was only implemented in the four towns of Anxi, so it was agreed.

The empress ordered the spring officials to prepare everything for the sealing of Chan Songshan, and at the same time, the visiting envoys sent to various provinces also returned to the court one after another. Among them, the Jiannan Provincial Patrol Envoy reported that Guo Yuanzhen, the county governor of Tongquan County, minted private money and plundered the population, and the people hated it, but Guo Yuanzhen asked to meet the empress.

Wu Qing happened to be on the side, and after the empress finished reading the song, she handed it to Wu Qing. said: "Do you think this person is visible?" ”

Wu Qing said: "Since this person wants to meet the saint, it is better to summon him to see what he has to say." ”

The Empress agreed. Then let the eunuch on duty pass and bring the people in.

But after half an hour, a burly middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old walked into the main hall with his head held high, and Wu Qing couldn't help but see the uniqueness of this person.

Guo Yuanzhen knelt down and saluted. And don't talk much. He presented his work, "The sinner has the "Sword Chapter" presented to the saint, and the sinner will die without regrets. ”

The palace maid took it and handed it to the empress, who opened it and looked at it for a long time. Suddenly, he slapped the dragon case and shouted, "Okay, good." Good Psalms! ”

Guo Yuanzhen's face did not show the slightest smugness, and Wu Qing couldn't help but have a new understanding of this man. Guo Yuanzhen has been a county lieutenant in Tongquan County for many years, why did he buy and sell people? Although the sale of human beings was not a serious crime in this era, it was despised by scholars, and the Tang Dynasty Law also stipulated the punishment for the crime of buying and selling human beings.

The empress passed the poem to Wu Qing, who opened it and looked at it, "Wu Shan opens, Yuexi dries up, and the three golds are smelted into treasures." Quenching green water, appreciating red clouds, colorful flames are brightened"

There are many allusions in this poem, which shows that Guo Yuanzhen is familiar with weapons, and his swordsmanship must be good.

Wu Qing put down the poem, and did not praise it like an empress, so he asked: "Guo Yuanzhen, this king asks you, how are your swordsmanship?" ”

Guo Yuanzhen knew that this man was the now controversial King of Wei, Wuqing, so he arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Highness, the criminal minister has been practicing swordsmanship for thirty years. ”

Wu Qing suddenly had an idea in his heart, but he still didn't say the psalm, and asked, "Why did you privately mint copper coins?" ”

Guo Yuanzhen bowed and said: "Back to the saint, Your Highness, the criminal ministers minted private money just to make their lives better, and they didn't mint more, and the money minted by Weichen was better than that cast by the young government prison." ”

Wu Qing nodded, this person is a talent, but he is really not interested in buying and selling people, so he asked, "Then why do you buy and sell people?" ”

Guo Yuanzhen still bowed down and said: "Wechen buying and selling people, they have always been Qiang people, they live in poverty, my people live in peace in the Great Zhou, but the girl is a girl, buy the daughter of the Qiang people to give my Great Zhou man as a wife, why not?" ”

Wu Qing was stunned, this person is a person who is very good at trading.

When the empress heard this, she also felt that Guo Yuanzhen was a rare talent, she turned her head to look at Wu Qing and asked, "King Wei, what do you say about this Guo Yuanzhen, should you kill it, or?" ”

Suddenly, Guo Yuanzhen became a little nervous, but in an instant, his eyes returned to normal, Wu Qing is and others, naturally looked at it in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Looking at this person, it is not without merits, in terms of Weichen, let him go to Liangzhou to join the army, and see if he has real ability." If you don't have the ability, it's not too late to kill. ”

The empress doesn't care, anyway, there are thousands of people in the five or six grades, supplements, and outside the staff, so what a pity for a seventh-grade official. Then he said: "In this case, then go to Liangzhou to join the army, don't forget the recommendation of King Wei." ”

was suddenly promoted from a nine-rank county lieutenant to join the army from Liangzhou, a seven-rank county, and was promoted to six ranks in a row, which made Guo Yuanzhen want to kneel down and kowtow a few times. But he knew that those who had been servile since ancient times would not be appreciated, so he bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

After Guo Yuanzhen retreated, the empress left Wuqing to dine together, and now there are really not many people who can accompany the empress to dine. And Wu Qing felt that the empress seemed to have something to say, but she swallowed it back every time. He couldn't guess what the empress was thinking, but he thought it might have something to do with the Wu and Li families.

If the empress doesn't say it, Wu Qing won't ask, now the empress rarely goes to court, especially in the last month, she sleeps until three poles a day, which shows that she is old. She may have been thinking about the heir of the Great Zhou, but she didn't want to be too obvious, and the desire for power still made her not want to put the power in the hands of the heir. And for the heir, she has been struggling.

Whether it is passed on to the Wu family or the Li family, this is a question that the empress has been constantly considering since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and such as Li Zhaode, Di Renjie, Wei Yuanzhong, Le Sihui and so on. They all thought that the throne was passed on to the Li family, so these people were belittled, and some were killed. Because these people think they are old ministers of the Tang family. In the Zhou Dynasty, his mind is in the Tang Dynasty. This made the empress very angry, so he degraded these people, hoping that they would understand that it was still the Great Zhou, and they were eating the grain of the Great Zhou and receiving the salary of the Great Zhou.

Wu Qing naturally knew very well what those people were thinking. So when Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong were deposed again, he no longer interceded and no longer gave them a chance. Although Wu Qing admired the talents of Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong and others. But since it couldn't be used by him, he had to give up.

Because Wu Qing believes that the last thing that is lacking in this world is genius, and the last thing that is lacking is good ministers. It's just that there is a lack of Bole who discovers good talent and beautiful jade. So Wuqing founded the Qingxin Academy. The Great Zhou Martial Arts Academy was created.

Obviously, in today's Great Zhou, the talents of Qingxin Academy are all over the world, and they only need one opportunity to soar to the sky.

In the palace of the king of Wei, Wu Qing met with Wu Youxu and Guo Yuanzhen. Wu Youxu is one of the rare talents in the Wu clan, which is also the reason why Wu Qing wants to train him well and let him be the strategic envoy of the Jishi Army. The main thing is to guard against Tibet, and at the same time to train this person.

After Wu Youxu came to the palace of King Wei. After hesitating, he stepped into the Wei Palace, and Wu Qing ordered someone to greet him in the morning, so as soon as Wu Youxu arrived, he was led to Wutong Courtyard.

According to the seniority, Wu Qing wanted to call Wu Youxu a cousin, but Wu Qing was the prince and Wu Youxu was the king of the county, so after Wu Youxu gave a salute, Wu Qing was not pretentious, so he was invited into the study.

After the two sat down, Yuan Chu Jingzi served fragrant tea, and when she saw Yuan Chu Jingzi, a trace of surprise flashed in Wu Youxu's eyes, but then disappeared.

Wu Qing said with a smile: "I know that you have a quiet personality since childhood, but you also have ambitions, and now that the empress founded my Great Zhou, you and I have both been crowned kings, and my Wu family and Li family are on the same page." Once the empress abdicates the Li clan, my Wu clan will be wiped out. You have children, and I have children. I don't think you want your heirs to be slaughtered. ”

Wu Youxu didn't expect Wu Qing to say such taboo words straight to the point, but if you think about it, it's true. At the age of forty, he did have ambitions and a tranquil personality, so he has not been able to enter the circle of Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, although he has always had some contact with Wu Qing, the king of Wei, but he is not valued by Wu Qing.

Now, Wu Qing has appointed Wu Youxu as the strategic envoy of the Jishi Army, which undoubtedly makes Wu Youxu increase his weight in Wu Qing's mind.

Wu Youxu's face was solemn, and he said: "What His Highness tells me to do, I will do it." ”

Wu Qing said with a smile: "The significance of the Jishi Army is a strange soldier when Tubo captures the area from Heyuan to Linzhou, so after you arrive at Jishi Mountain, you must train the cavalry skills and mountain combat ability of the soldiers, maybe in the future, when you fight with Tubo, you will use the Jishi Army as the vanguard." If you need anything, just tell me. ”

Wu Youxu understood the purpose and training objectives of the Jishi Army, and he also understood Wu Qing's deployment. That is, for Tibet, temporarily take a defensive position.

In fact, Wuqing's idea was to pacify and defend Tubo, because today's Tubo is indeed relatively powerful, especially the Tubo soldiers under the leadership of the Tubo army god Qinling, which are not ordinarily powerful. Temporarily adopt a pacification and defensive position, concentrate on solving the Eastern Turkic problem, and wait for the country and the four towns of Anxi to recuperate for several years, and then comprehensively encircle Tubo, by then the plateau soldiers have also been trained, and Tubo can go down in a battle and completely solve the Tubo problem.

However, in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to allow the rapid development of the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the conscription system completely replaces the government military system. But it's too hard to get there. Because the empress is still uncertain about the heir, and there is a large number of redundant officials in the imperial court, the irreconcilable contradictions between the Wu family and the Li family are bound to cause turmoil in the imperial court.

Wu Qing didn't know how long this turmoil would last, but the Li family inherited the unification, so he had to run away. Maybe Li Dan or Li Xian will not kill the Wu clan, but for Wuqing, who is a threat to the throne, then there is only one word of death.

Throughout history, in front of the throne, even parents and children can be killed, and even fathers can be cut off. Inhumane!

Wu Qing and Wu Youxu talked for two hours, and Wu Qing also taught Wu Youxu some key points of military training and also discussed some strategies for governing the country.

Wu Youxu left the Wei palace with confidence, and it was from this moment that Wu Youxu made up his mind, and he decided to follow Wu Qing and follow this controversial Wei king, regardless of whether he inherited the throne in the future.

Guo Yuanzhen waited for an hour, and after Wu Youxu left the Wei Palace, he was led to the study.

For Guo Yuanzhen, Wu Qing got up and went to the courtyard. Walk up to the weapon rack, draw your spear, and remove the sword from your waist. Thrown to Guo Yuanzhen.

"Guo Yuanzhen, let this king try your true skills, if you can't show your real skills, you don't have to go to Liangzhou." Wu Qing said in a deep voice.

Guo Yuanzhen also knew that King Wei's words would not be false, so he pulled out his sword with a "cangchang", and then exclaimed, "Good sword!" ”

Wu Qing's spear shook. A shot was stabbed out and went straight to Guo Yuanzhen's door, Guo Yuanzhen's long sword in his hand. Suddenly, a swordsman's momentum emanated.

Whew!

He pulled five sword flowers in a row and blocked Wu Qing's spearhead. Wu Qing sneered, and stabbed Guo Yuanzhen directly in the waist with a style of "pointing out the country".

Guo Yuanzhen was shocked, and his sword went sideways. Hit the head of the spear with a strange kendo. Wu Qing suddenly felt a strong force coming, and then he shook with one hand, and a "iron cable blocking the river" could be blocked.

At this time, Guo Yuanzhen held the sword in both hands, and his moves opened and closed, feeling like chopping wood, and Wu Qing also felt unprecedented solemnity. Guo Yuanzhen's swordsmanship is quite different from that of Raven Jiu. Crow Nine walked to a strange route, but this Guo Yuanzhen was a very ordinary move. It's chopping, as if chopping wood with a knife. But it also makes people feel a rustic sword intent.

One hundred and fifty rounds, Wu Qing finally shouted and stopped, he had already tried Guo Yuanzhen's martial arts, so there was no need to compare, and he was already out of strength, and it would be ugly to compare again.

Yuan Chu Shizuko hurriedly brought Bupa, Wu Qing wiped the beads of sweat, and then said to the guards watching the battle: "Guo Yuanzhen is strong in martial arts, you are not necessarily opponents, you must practice diligently in the future, so you will spend all your energy on the belly of women." ”

The guards didn't dare say anything, but they were sure to be slanderous. In fact, when Wu Qing said this, he also said it to himself, he just spent too much energy on a woman's belly.

Guo Yuanzhen didn't squint, he put away his sword and stood, he couldn't help but be amazed that King Wei had such martial arts, it seems that the rumors are true. He took the cloth from the maid, wiped his sweat, got down on one knee, and presented his sword.

Wu Qing waved his hand and smiled: "I think you use this sword well, so I'll give it to you." ”

The so-called beauty is matched with "beasts", and the sword is given to the hero.

Guo Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment, and then bowed deeply, he has been in the officialdom for many years, and has never been valued by scholars or royal relatives and nobles, and now he is valued by the controversial King Wei, whether it is a blessing or a curse.

After a competition, coupled with the gift of a sword, a lot of distance between the two was narrowed, so the two also talked for a long time.

Wu Qing analyzed the Tubo shape shì, and Guo Yuanzhen also said his own strategy for governing Longyou, in general, Guo Yuanzhen's thinking was in line with the ideas of most scholars and strategists of this era. It is believed that Tibet is a cold land and should not be seized, because it is not easy to capture, and it is even more difficult to garrison, and it is purely a piece of chicken ribs.

Wu Qing just smiled and shook his head, what if he could tell the hundred officials of the Great Zhou that in the ancient times, the land of Tubo was an ocean, and the metal deposits in those mountains were very rich?

But there was no evidence for any of this, and he couldn't prove it. When the Theory of Evolution did not pervade the world, the origin of human beings was deified.

However, for the time being, Guo Yuanzhen's strategy of using Tuntian to garrison Longyou is correct, and the Great Zhou must resist the attack of Tubo in order to concentrate on solving the weaker Eastern Turkic Khanate.

Otherwise, if the Eastern Turks develop like this for a few decades, it will inevitably become a great disaster for the Central Plains nation, and the historical lesson of the Wuhu Chaos in China is profound, so we must guard against this. Of course, it is also possible that agrarian civilization was destroyed by nomadic civilization, and hundreds of years later, it did happen, and more than once!

Guo Yuanzhen left the Wei Wangfu with faith and hope, and he believed that the heart of the Wei King was related to the whole world.

With the passage of time, Wu Qing laid heavy troops under Longyou, and at the same time, Yan Yuansun finally worshiped as a heavenly official and entered the political hall with Ping Zhangshi. In this way, the science officials finally pried open the door of the center. Soon, Ji Qi was promoted from Mingtang Lieutenant to Servant Yushi, and Liu Zhiji replaced Yan Yuansun as Luoyang Ling.

Wu Xin settled in the Great Zhou and served at the Sibin Temple. After Jiang Chuchen's diagnosis and treatment, Yuan Chu Jingzi, the "goddess" of Wu Qing's previous life, was finally pregnant, which made Wu Qing very helpless, he had to find someone who could take care of his daily life, after all, he was busy every day, and he still wanted a personal maid.

At this time, Liu Lingxian came to Shendu, a rare talented woman in the world came to Shendu to visit her brother, but only she knew the specific purpose. Brother Liu Linggu didn't see it, and his cousin Liu Zhiji took Liu Lingxian to the Wei Palace.

Now Liu Lingxian, who is thirty out of twenty, is a big girl, Wu Qing looked at this talented woman in surprise, and finally let go of the last bit of self-deception and took her into his arms.

Under the red candle at night, Liu Lingxian held the wine and said with a smile: "This acacia wine has to be drunk." ”

Wu Qing smiled: "I have so many women, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of them in the future, are you sure you want to serve me?" ”

Liu Lingxian whispered shallowly, "The goddess of the night moon fang, the morning glow Yu Luofei." I also look at the color in the mirror, which is more glamorous than I know what is wrong. ”

Wu Qing was happy in his heart, and then the two of them intertwined their arms and drank Hehuan wine.

"My Lang"

"My Sister"

Immediately, the two sides hugged each other, and fell towards the Hu bed, Wu Qing slowly untied Liu Lingxian's green skirt, revealing the white fragrant shoulders, a faint fragrance came into his nose, he couldn't wait to bite the fragrant shoulders, from her sideburns, earlobes, eyebrows, eyes, Qiong nose, kissed one by one. Liu Lingxian trembled slightly, untied Wu Qing's robe, revealing her strong chest, she stretched out her hand, stroked, and then muttered. Until Liu Lingxian let go of her body, she desperately entangled Wu Qing, and then let the wind and rain blow, and let the waves swell (to be continued......)
