Chapter 21: You're All Dead, I'm Still Alive (Part 2)
In 224 AD, 50,000 Han navy crossed the sea and entered Yizhou, and then defeated the defenders here and captured the Tu Emperor Liu Bei. As for Guan Zhangzhao, he passed away as early as a year ago because of depression in his heart.
Now that Liu Bei has been captured, the last prince who was right with Cao has also withdrawn from the stage of history.
But Cao Cao didn't see Liu Bei, because Liu Bei died of illness on the way back to Xuchang because of his age, bumps along the way, and problems such as unadaptability to water and soil.
In fact, it's almost the same, Liu Bei in history died in 223, he has lived one year longer than in history, and if he dies, he will die.
When Cao Cao saw Liu Bei's corpse, he let out a sigh: "Xuande, you and I have been fighting for decades, and in the end, the old man won." If you know today, why bother in the first place! ”
Cao Cao cooked wine when he was a young plum, and said to Liu Bei: "The heroes of the world, only the king and the ear!" ”
To put it simply, Cao Cao thinks that there are only two heroes in the world, himself and Liu Bei, and there is no SEI. Now, the hero he admitted is dead, and he is the only hero in the world left, and for a while, Cao Cao was a little stunned.
Xiaoyao Hou Mansion.
"Sister, brother-in-law." After Cao Chong finished handling his official duties, he came over to visit the door again.
Now Cao Chong is 29 years old, time flies quickly, at the time of the Battle of Chibi, Cao Chong was only 13 years old, but now he is nearly 30 years old. Since he was appointed as the prince, Cao Chong has been given the right to open the government, that is, he can form his own ruling group, and when he succeeds in the future, the people of this small group will occupy a dominant position.
However, Cao Cao's current health is still very good, and if Cao Chong wants to take over, I am afraid it will take decades.
It's okay to be the king of a country, it's better to be older, at least for a longer period of exercise. Generally, the relatively young head of state has a poor ability to govern the country basically. Even the wise and martial Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict because of his reckless military efforts and the loss of money and labor. This is the first king in history to issue an edict against himself, and he is the first to fight the Xiongnu to flee to Mobei, basically solve the border troubles, and create conditions for the Silk Road. Based on this alone, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can actually be called an emperor through the ages.
However, there were many wars, and the treasury was emptied, in terms of people's livelihood, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not do well enough, and the life of the people at that time was also very hard, probably this is the reason why the courtiers of all dynasties in later dynasties were unwilling to let the emperor fight!
Although the country is big, it will die if it is warlike!
Therefore, it is still beneficial for Cao Chong to exercise for several decades, especially Cao Chong also listened to the suggestions of the left and the right, starting from the grassroots level, going deep into the localities, deeply understanding the suffering of the people, deeply understanding the needs of the people, and deeply understanding the distribution of interests of all strata. Zuo Xiaoyou told him that a country cannot be made up of one class. A country must be divided into many classes, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve equality for all, but it is possible to make the classes less clear and as close to equality as possible. If the class is too clear and there are no external interests, then the country will basically lose its vitality.
The meaning of the existence of the government is to coordinate the needs of all strata, so that all strata can live in harmony and unite tightly around the government, so that a strong government can be made.
"Brother Chong is here!" Seeing Cao Chong, who had passed three rounds of the year, but was still as beautiful as Cao Xian, who was in his twentieth decade, smiled and said, "Today's government affairs have been handled? ”
"It's over." Cao Chong walked to the table and sat down, picked up a piece of dried sweet potato and nibbled on it: "Brother-in-law, what are you looking at?" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou put down the book in his hand and smiled faintly: "You can't understand it, and it's useless to ask." ”
"Hey, hey, gossip!" Cao Chong nibbled on dried sweet potatoes and said, "Brother-in-law, since the navy brought back potatoes and sweet potato seeds from the American continent two years ago, we Xinhan finally have no one starving to death this year, this can be described as a prosperous era for thousands of years!" ”
"Morning!" Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "It's not enough to just eat a full stomach, you must eat well, dress well, live well, and use it well, this is the real prosperity of the world." ”
"It's still my brother-in-law who thinks far." Cao Chong smiled: "I think it's pretty good now, I used to see people starving to death." In fact, since my brother-in-law improved the farming method, my Xinhan has never worried about food. Brother-in-law, you will definitely be a saint of a generation in the future. ”
You're right, brother-in-law, I'm really a saint.
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "The country is rich and strong, the people are rich, and on this basis, it is the beginning of my new Han Dynasty to break out of the earth." ”
"Rushing out of the earth?" Cao Chong was taken aback.
Since Zuo Xiaoyou took out the world map a few years ago, Cao Chong has already known that the place where he lives is a huge ball, and this ball is called the earth. The school's education is still very successful, and now a number of college students, high school students, and junior high school students have entered the society, improving the humanistic quality of NEXCOM, and various talents have been emerging, making great contributions to NEXCOM, and now NEXCOM has entered the stage of primary industry, a large number of steel mills, oil refineries, etc., have emerged, and then various railway facilities, highway facilities, as well as the first train, the first automobile have been manufactured.
In the past two years, Cao Cao has been very busy, either by train or by car, and he is very busy.
In addition, Cao Cao, in accordance with Zuo Xiaoyou's suggestion, has been vigorously building Chang'an in recent years, and plans to move the capital to Chang'an.
Of course, this is related to the national strategy, because the whole country has been unified, so the road in the future is to go west, since it is westward, then Chang'an occupies a geographical advantage, and Chang'an itself is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is an excellent base. The name of the ancient capital of the Ten Dynasties in later generations was not blown.
Of course, the place where the capital was built the most was Luoyang, even in the previous Han Dynasty, the capital was Luoyang, but it was destroyed by Dong Zhuo's fire. Luoyang this place...... How to say it! All aspects are still successful, that is, it is too close to the main road of the Yellow River, coupled with the so-so governance of the Yellow River during this period, which makes Luoyang a place that is prone to flooding, whether it is for safety considerations, strategic considerations, or construction (it is too seriously burned, and it is too troublesome to rebuild), Chang'an has become the first choice for moving the capital.
Now that the construction of Chang'an is almost over, there will be a large-scale relocation in a while.
With the development of industry, Cao Cao has seen the hope that the iron bird will be made and soar into the sky, and the country is also thriving.
In recent years, as the Fang Shi who was captured by Cao Cao developed the ratio of gunpowder, the grenade, a lethal thermal weapon, also came into being. In addition, with the improvement of lathes and other technologies, Zuo Xiaoyou also designed the army-standard equipment of muskets. Since the advent of muskets, the role of military generals has declined significantly, but Cao Cao has also put forward higher requirements for the ideological and political construction of the army.
If his army has muskets, but they don't listen to their commands, or if they give him a shot in the back, he won't have time to hide. Therefore, in accordance with the code of ideological and political construction of the army made by the left, small and right, Cao Cao began to retrain the army, and all soldiers must accept ideological and political edification, and only those who are qualified are qualified for promotion, and those who are not qualified can only be a small soldier, and even a small soldier cannot be a small soldier.
A soldier must take obedience to orders as his duty, and he must never disobey the orders of his superiors, and this is a good soldier.
Of course, the ideological and political construction of officers is the most important thing, and Cao Cao knows this very well even if he does not mention it.
In short, over the years, Xinhan has changed a lot, giving Cao Cao enough confidence to expand.
But it's still very early for Zuo Xiaoyou to complete his mission in this world.
"After the unification of the earth, there will be no room for expansion, and then the population will increase, the resources will become less and less, and all kinds of contradictions will inevitably erupt. In order to develop human resources, it is necessary to develop aerospace science and technology. ”
After hearing this, Cao Chong smiled bitterly: "Brother-in-law, you are thinking too far, I'm afraid I won't be able to see that day." ”
"There is no end to the children and grandchildren!" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "Our descendants will always see that day." ”
"That's what my brother-in-law said." Cao Chong said: "But that's also our afterlife, I just want to do the things in front of me well." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded and asked, "I see that you were a little anxious when you entered the door just now, but what is the difficulty?" ”
"My brother-in-law is really meticulous." Cao Chong said: "Brother-in-law, go and persuade your father!" ”
"Father-in-law?" Zuo Xiaoyou was stunned: "What's wrong with him?" ”
"In the past few days, my father has always sighed and sighed, and I am afraid that if this goes on for a long time, my father will be sick." Cao Chong said: "Brother-in-law, you have the closest relationship with your father, and even my son can't compare, go and persuade him!" ”
"Why is my father depressed?" Cao Xian on the side asked.
"Probably because Liu Bei died!" Cao Chong said: "Since I personally buried Liu Bei, my father has always been like this. ”
"I see." Hearing this, Zuo Xiaoyou thought thoughtfully: "It seems that my father-in-law has lost the last opponent in this life, and he is a little confused about the future." ”
"This ...... How so? "Cao Chong and Cao Xian didn't understand.
"Heh......" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "Madam, think about it, if one day in the future, everyone your age has passed away, and only you are still alive, how would you feel?" ”
"I ......" Cao Xian thought about this situation carefully, and suddenly frowned slightly, his eyes showed love in love, and he covered his chest: "I will be very sad." ”
Cao Chong also thought about it for a while, and couldn't help frowning, with a trace of emptiness in his eyes, as if it was difficult to accept the arrival of that day.
"That's how my father-in-law is feeling now." Zuo Xiaoyou sighed and said, "Madam, think twice." Brother Chong, you go back and bring your family, and then inform the children of the Cao family in Xuchang City to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion together, and we will get together today. ”
"Good!" Cao Chong came back to his senses, got up and said, "I'll go now." (To be continued.) )
