Chapter Seventy-One: Blue Jade to Goryeo
Chapter Seventy-One: Blue Jade to Goryeo
The prince is actually very confused.
In particular, I learned how to dispose of it in the field system. It's even more amazing. I feel that if I am not an old official, I can't come up with such a safe way. It's just that He Xi is quite innovative in his actions, but he is not rich in experience, and many things have made mistakes.
For example, if it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang standing behind him, ordinary officials and even Xungui would have enough to drink a pot.
He didn't understand where He Xi's thoughts came from.
Originally, he couldn't understand He Xi, but now he can't understand it even more, and he always feels that his brother-in-law is full of fog.
Although he has not yet read "The Wealth of Nations", from the book "Tian System", he can feel He Xi's talent, and he suddenly has an intuition in his heart. He Xi's method may be able to do it, and it can really improve the living standards of the people.
But it would be nice to be able to judge everything in the world by being right or wrong.
Unfortunately not.
In the past few decades, the prince has been bound by so many civil officials, the master-apprentice relationship with Song Lian, the humerus relationship with these people around him, and so on. Decisions are not something that can be cut off all at once. And even if it can be cut off now, what if it can be cut off? These people were his foundation, and they were all cut off at once. How else does he do the prince?
Can a prince with no foundation really take over the foundation of Emperor Hongwu?
The prince sighed leisurely.
Look at the snow in the sky. The heart is like a snowflake.
------
Goryeo snow is huge. Almost knee-high. Horses can't run in such snow.
Lan Yu only felt that her legs were about to lose sensation. There was no heat at all. This is more than 30 days of his arduous trek. Yes, it also traveled from the nineteenth year of Hongwu to the twentieth year of Hongwu. It stands to reason that the year has passed.
It's time for the weather to get warmer.
However, no.
The tenacious nostalgia of ice and snow makes the blue jade freeze through.
Lan Yu led more than 5,000 horsemen from his headquarters to Shenyang in the snow on the pretext of urgently supporting the Goryeo battlefield. It's a tough part of the road, but it's okay. After all, it is in the territory of Daming, and you can get a lot of care. But after going east from Shenyang and passing through a thousand mountains, it was different all of a sudden.
There is a post station in 30 miles, a big station in about 100 miles, and there is even a city nearby. All have material reserves. But after coming to Qianshan, it was completely different. From Qianshan to Qingchuan River, this section of the journey is the most difficult to walk. To the west of the Yalu River, there is only one station in Dingliaowei. After crossing the Yalu River, there are more stations. But that's the territory of the Koreans. Goryeo's rebellion never stopped.
It's just that the strength is weak, the big cities and transportation arteries are occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and the Goryeo rebels are hidden in the mountains. Although in the ice and snow, the possibility of coming out to attack the Ming army is not high. But same problem. They also decided not to give Da Ming any help.
Many villages they passed through. Only a few older people in the village who couldn't run away stayed. Whoever can run is hidden.
As for wanting the villagers to raise the hot water and hot rice. Where to stay. Don't even think about it.
It doesn't work to give money.
It's not that Daming's money can't be used in Goryeo. But in the chaotic situation in Goryeo, grain is the only hard currency.
With Lan Yu's temper, it's not that he didn't think about slaughtering a few villages and spreading anger. But he knew that He Xi's rule in Goryeo was dominated by Huairou. I swallowed it.
After all, Lan Yu had something to talk to He Xi about. He braved the snow for thousands of miles, and froze to death several soldiers along the way, not to lose his temper here, but to fight for power. At the same time, he also knew that He Xi's background was hard and his foundation was thick. Don't dare to offend easily.
Can you talk about it if you save it?
Naturally, we must respect He Xi's policy. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.
Lan Yu has always been able to treat officials of the same level or higher than herself, but for those who are below her. That's not the case with Sapphire.
When Lan Yu arrived in Xicheng, the situation was much better.
Gain has already traveled through these desolate places on the border between the two countries, from Xicheng to Pyongyang, which is already the essence of Goryeo.
Before the 10th day of the first month. Lan Yu finally came to Pyongyang and met He Xi.
He Xi was taken aback by Lan Yu's arrival.
He didn't expect it to be icy at all. Lan Yu really dared to go from Beiping to Pyongyang. And it really does. It can be seen that Lan Yu is also very ruthless to herself.
But even so, after Lan Yu arrived in Pyongyang, she was frozen and stiffened, and took a hot bath. It's alive.
Wait for Sapphire to rest for the night. The next day, He Xi feasted Lan Yu.
Just two people in a corner of the Goryeo Palace.
This is Ho Xi's favorite place in this section. It is a pavilion with bays on all sides. And in high places. You can see the surrounding snow at a glance. Moreover, there are fire tunnels in the underground and pillars, and there are even more people below who keep adding fire and firewood. He Xi's side was steaming. It's not refreshing.
Eating hot pot here is even more comfortable, making people have a feeling of both refreshment and warmth.
It can only be said that even in the era of scarcity of materials, the enjoyment of dignitaries and nobles has always been a lot.
Even Lan Yu was amazed by this, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been thrifty, upward and downward, and the nobles of the Ming Dynasty are enjoying a match, and there is no Goryeo 500 years of heritage.
Lan Yu originally went back to Beiping to get one himself. When asked, if you want to get it done well, you need at least 100 people, chopping wood, burning fires, adding water for maintenance, and so on. Even Lan Yu was shocked. Lan Yu is also a big family. There are many servants in the household, but each has a job. I didn't have more than 100 people dedicated to this.
He Xi said: "Gossip less, let's get down to business, the Marquis of Yongchang has traveled thousands of miles and came in the snow, and he is definitely not planning to eat this hot pot." ”
Lan Yu laughed and said; "Lord Ho, speak quickly. I'm not going to talk nonsense. I didn't expect that Lord He had the ability to go through the heavens and the earth, just 40,000 miscellaneous soldiers, breaking the country, and admiring him very much, if I were not the general of Zhengdong, I was not the commander of this battle. I'm sure I'm going to praise it. It's just that I'm in the middle of it and have to make a difference. Otherwise, wouldn't my Lanyu be laughed at by the world. Of course. I don't want to offend Brother He, Brother He just speaks. How can you be willing to leave the following mess to me. ”
"As long as I can do it. No excuses. ”
He Xi indifferently sandwiched a piece of mutton and said, "Master Hou, you're too much." Next, Goryeo is left with only the finish. I will continue to do it, and the work of destroying the country will be easily obtained, and I will be able to protect the merits of more than ten generations of children and grandchildren in the future. Just let you out with just your mouth? ”
Then He Xi swallowed the mutton in the chopsticks and slapped the chopsticks heavily on the table.
Didn't say anything directly, but the attitude was already indicated.
In fact, He Xi didn't want to ask for more for his military exploits.
Because he actually knows very well who he is and what he wants to do. He is not ready to be a prince, what do you want to do with military exploits? From the moment he was in Nanjing, rejecting Xu Da's idea of being knighted, He Xi knew his future route.
Of course. As the beginning of the founding of the country, military achievements were at their peak, and having military merits in the body was equivalent to having a halo. Some noble ministers also took a look. However, the military exploits of He Xi and now are enough. No matter how much it works.
Not to mention, the Goryeo War was completely sudden for He Xi. It's something that disrupts his arrangement.
In fact, he also wants to end the matter here as soon as possible and return to Liaodong.
However, a lot of things are like that. If He Xi doesn't take care of it, how can he get benefits from Lan Yu's hands?
The benefits of blue jade, don't be in vain.
Lan Yu naturally knew that it was impossible to take the credit out of He Xi's mouth with white teeth. Lan Yu was still very happy with He Xi's statement. The reason is simple. He Xi at least expressed his willingness to talk.
In fact, Lan Yu is the general of Zhengdong after all, and he really tears his face. Lan Yu can directly occupy all the credit of He Xi in the name of his superiors. But this kind of eating is too ugly, and it is even more troublesome. Now that He Xi is willing to talk, then no conditions are a problem.
Lan Yu was silent for a moment and said: "The Lan family also has some elements on the sea, but their own family is not well managed, I heard that Brother He is a great expert on the sea, and he is willing to give it to Brother He." ”
Then he stretched out a hand and made a "five" gesture.
