Chapter 198: The Vast World is Promising in the Vast World
Newlywed Yan'er, Li Han lived very comfortably, three days passed, he did not have the embarrassment of being angry or resentful at both ends, and the two wives had established a good intimate relationship with him unconsciously, which made him feel happiness and relief.
On the fourth day, Li Han took his two wives to Bashang Farm together, Fang Yue and his wife saw that there was one more daughter who returned to the door, and they couldn't help but be a little restrained at first, who knew that Liu Lian did not have the arrogance of a princess at all, and respected the two elders very much, and the atmosphere was not the slightest embarrassment.
Li Han left two wives and went to the backyard by himself, but saw that there were many more people in the courtyard where Zhou Yafu's father and son lived, it turned out that on the night of his wedding, Zhou Yang brought not only his mother, but also his own wife and other family members all wanted to leave Chang'an, so it was equivalent to the whole family transfer.
Zhou Yafu, the old lion, is very comfortable at the moment, the Li family is not lacking in new furniture, he is dressed in comfortable linen clothes, pulled a recliner, and lies comfortably on the edge of an autumn pear in the autumn sun, the pear tree bears a lot of fruit, and he just wants to break the branches, and he can pick one when he lies there, and he is happy to gnaw on it, Li Han sees that he is such a lazy farmer.
Li Han appeared in front of him, put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "Hehe, Uncle Zhou, this day is not bad, right?" Comfortable than you are angry with everyone in the court, right? ”
Zhou Yafu lazily pointed to another chair beside him, Li Han sat down, and then he said: "Boy, you have turned the old man into a non-existent person, and you should support me, so I don't want to be grateful to you." ”
Li Han pouted and said, "Is the little nephew so stingy, and I am grateful for letting you live a comfortable life for a few days?" You haven't been chatting with Uncle Liu a lot these days, right? I treated him like a father, but did I ever ask for gratitude? ”
Zhou Yafu looked at Li Han seriously, smiled and said, "Yes, Liu Li and Old Master Fang both treat you as their own sons. The emperor is the most cautious in treating people, and he has no doubt about your character, it seems that you are indeed an outlier. ”
"Alien?" Li Han looked at himself with a wry smile and said: "I also have seven points on my face, I will be hungry if I don't eat, and I will be sleepy if I don't sleep, how can I be an outlier?" ”
"You don't have humanity."
Li Han jumped up and shouted: "Uncle Zhou, if I had no humanity, I would have pushed the boat down the river by committing suicide with Brother Yang, why bother with all this effort?" If I am inhuman. Just make my own money, if Liu Wu wants to rebel, it doesn't matter to me? You call me like I'm a scumbag, isn't that fair? ”
Zhou Yafu laughed loudly, he seemed to be able to make Li Han crazy, he was very satisfied, and said after laughing: "The human nature that the old man said is human nature, and human nature is greedy and ambitious. There is fear.
Although you have all of these, what you have is not the nature of the Han Dynasty, but a kind of fearlessness. It doesn't matter, as if the fame and fortune that the world is chasing are not worth mentioning to you, you can get it as you please, or you can give it up at will. The old man doesn't know how to explain it, anyway, you are different from everyone else. ”
Li Han was secretly frightened, this old lion's vision was really extraordinary. His detachment was actually seen by him, so he said with a dry smile: "It's really an honor to be so evaluated by Uncle Zhou."
Uncle Zhou, although the kid is not a weapon, but the most important feelings, as long as they are integrated into my family, they are relatives, and I Li Han can't let go of my relatives.
You got into my carriage by accident this time, and we can only work together to control the carriage well in order to ensure the happiness of our family, do you say? ”
Zhou Yafu was very comfortable, squinted his eyes and said: "Okay, I know that you came to urge me to go on the road, I promised you that you can leave at any time, but I want to take the whole family away, can you guarantee that Your Majesty will not stop you?"
Don't forget, the old man is different from you, with your hairpin county, and the displaced people that Li Guangyuan keeps sending to you, if the old man pulls up a team to support the army and respect himself, replace you as the king of the Northland, or even collude with the Huns to fight back against the Han, all this is possible with the prestige of the old man.
So boy, if you are smart, you shouldn't let the old man's whole family go, and it is safer to leave the family as a quality. ”
Li Han said firmly: "As long as the aunt and others are not afraid of hard work, Uncle Zhou only cares about the whole family, the little nephew on the father's side is responsible, and the courtiers are even less worried, anyway, everyone thinks that you have already broken yourself." ”
Zhou Yafu suddenly sighed, his eyes flashed with a sparkling light, and said, "Boy, the old man will hand over the rest of the year to you." ”
Li Han saw that the old man was moved by his true feelings, this was a solemn promise, he didn't want to make tears sensational, and it was estimated that Zhou Yafu didn't like it either, so he deliberately pressed the sour heat on his chest with a hippie smile and said: "You don't have to feel like you're going to be exiled, although Hairpin County is being established, the land there is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, and the mineral deposits are abundant."
With you sitting there, the development must be more rapid, over time, it will definitely become the most prosperous city in the north, no less than Chang'an City, when the time comes, let you come back as the prime minister, you may not be willing to do it. ”
Zhou Yafu said: "Since it is so good, you can tell me how to do it." ”
Li Han came today to discuss the development strategy with Zhou Yafu, stood up and said, "Please come with Uncle Zhou." ”
Zhou Yafu stood up, picked another pear, nibbled all the way, and followed Li Han to his laboratory.
Mrs. Zhou, who had been watching the conversation between the two not far away, said to her son with tears: "It seems that this child is worthy of our family's reliance, otherwise your father would not be so relaxed." ”
Zhou Yang said with a smile: "Yes, although Ma Lang is young, he is very responsible, and the emperor is very fond of him, so our family can go to the north to reunite together, and it really depends on him." ”
Zhou Yafu walked into Li Han's laboratory, and was immediately attracted by a huge sand table on the table, he didn't know that it was called a sand table, but, as a general who had been marching and fighting for half his life, he was very sensitive to terrain simulation, and hurriedly walked to the huge table, and looked at the miniature mountains and rivers in a three-foot-deep wooden box. ”
Li Han nodded and said, "Yes, this table is a county, which is where you are about to be stationed, and the table in the inner room is a second county, let's see later." The little nephew will talk to you about the direction of development first, and you will understand when you go. ”
Zhou Yafu barely calmed his mood, and listened to Li Han point to the sand table and tell him that the next generation at the foot of Yin Mountain is leeward and sunny, and the land is fertile, so he can settle the people who moved in here, establish a settlement, reclaim a large amount of nearby arable land, and plant high-yield coarse grains, which can not only meet the food of his own people, but also have a lot of surpluses. When the cold winter comes, when the herdsmen on the grassland run out of grain, they can exchange grain for cattle, sheep, fur, ginseng and other local products to meet the use of raw materials for processing plants.
The processing plants are located in the middle of the hairpin county, and they have begun to take shape, which does not require Zhou Yafu to invest too much energy.
Li Han pointed to a high mountain and said: "This is our mine, which is rich in copper ore and iron ore. Be careful to restrain these people in case a thief's spies wreak havoc. ”
Zhou Yafu said cautiously: "Boy, can you be sure that this is a copper mine?" That's a big deal! If you can really get gold, I'm afraid it will really attract strong enemies to plunder. If you don't have troops, how can you defend it? ”
Li Han said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, rest assured, the copper ore in this mountain is not pure, and it needs to be refined before it can be turned into gold." The little nephew only let them mine, and did not teach the method of refining, and the thieves would not be stupid enough to grab the stones. All you have to do is push them to mine, and the more ore the better. ”
Zhou Yafu was stunned: "Then how to refine?" ”
Li Han said: "When refining, I didn't plan to do it on the mine site, you come here with me. ”
Walking to the wall with Zhou Yafu, Li Han tore open the curtain on the wall, revealing a huge map, Zhou Yafu was shocked again, this map was much more accurate than the small map he saw Li Han take out in the court, he stuck to it tightly and looked carefully, his hands were trembling.
Li Han took a small bamboo stick, pointed to the location of Zhangjiakou on the map and said: "This place has just entered the scope of Shanggu County, but it belongs to the Yan Kingdom, and it happens to be in the same position as the first and second counties of the hairpin from the Han Dynasty.
The little nephew plans to open a large smelting factory here, and the ore mined in the two counties is different, including iron ore and copper ore, which are all transported here for unified smelting and smelting, and then transported here (Beijing location) to carry out copper coins and iron casting. ”
Zhou Yafu said movingly: "This is indeed safe, but does the emperor agree?" And using the land of Guangyang Kingdom, it stands to reason that the income should belong to Yan Kingdom, what should you do? ”
Li Han smiled ruffianly and said: "Don't worry, Yan Country is located in the border area, at present, Liu Jia, the king of Yan, does not feel that his fief is very good, I will say that the emperor will change his position as the king, even if it is not successful, if he wants to use the two remote places in Yan Land, the king of Yan will not agree." ”
Zhou Yafu looked at the map, thinking that Liu Jia was incompetent and would never confront the imperial court for two deserted places, it seemed that all this had already been calculated by Li Han.
Li Han pointed to the periphery of the hairpin county, which were the three tribes of Evil Gu, Evil Mountain, and Evil Water, which were the focus of Zhou Yafu's next step.
Li Han said with a cautious face: "Uncle Zhou, if you want to completely stabilize the border troubles of the Xiongnu, you can only gradually change the living habits of their nomadic people and let them completely integrate into the farming life, so as to stop them from suffering from food shortages due to lack of production, and then plunder.
However, if we force them to change their habits of life from the beginning, it will not work, then we must start step by step, starting with the herdsmen of the surrendered tribes, which requires you to skillfully plan. ”
Zhou Yafu shook his head and said: "These barbarians have long been accustomed to the life of grazing and hunting, and it is impossible to change it." ”
Li Han said with a smile: "As long as you can limit the scope of their lives and keep them from staying away from the hairpin county, when they see that our people are living a rich life, they will naturally be envious, plus we do not prohibit intermarriage and material exchanges, they are used to using our delicate tools and clothes, accustomed to our delicious diet, and then let them return to the poor nomadic life, they will not be used to it."
When they also have a house near our hairpin county and settle down, it will be like a snail carrying a heavy shell, and then let them ride on a horse and leave everything to fight, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”
Zhou Yafu looked at Li Han dumbfounded, and said for a while: "Boy, your strategy is ruthless enough, isn't this treating them as cattle and sheep?" ”
Li Han smiled and said: "Yes, during the flood period, all domestic animals were wild beasts, domestic dogs were hungry wolves, and cattle and horses were wild, and now they are not used by us?" Wouldn't it be a great thing to be able to turn the Huns into our labor force? As for whether their national heritage will be cut off and lost, it's not our turn to worry. ”
If it was said that before he promised Li Han to go to Hairpin County, Zhou Yafu still wanted to escape from the world with sadness and disappointment in the imperial court, but now, he has completely changed his opinion, it seems that the world in the north is vast, and it seems that there is a lot to be done!
