"This thing is hidden in the Heavenly Gold Worshipper?"

"Yes."

"It should be a map."

"Your Majesty also thinks it's a map."

Dong Zhongshu carefully fiddled with the 'globe', his chaotic white hair was windless, his brows were tightly locked, and he fell into deep thought.

He stretched out two thick fingers, tapped lightly on the desk, and whispered in his mouth: "The origin of the Xiongnu sacrifice to heaven and gold is unknown, and in the songs of some shepherds, there have been several ......."

Cui Jiu was not in a hurry, his hands were folded in his sleeves, and he stood alone at the window of the attic, looking at the Zhuangzi of Yang Chuan's house opposite Weishui.

"Da Changmen, the words on this thing, the old man has never seen it."

After a long time, Dong Zhongshu sat up straight and sighed: "However, the pattern on it is undoubtedly a map, please look at the Great Changmen, this one is a big river, this one is a big river, among them, Qinling, Taihang and other mountain systems are no different from the geography of the Han Dynasty."

In addition, there are some places adjacent to the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the morphology and general direction of the mountains and rivers are also the same as the reality.

The old man concluded that this thing was a map, and there was no doubt about it. ”

After speaking in one breath, Dong Zhongshu fell silent.

He pushed a bowl of tea in front of Cui Jiu, picked up the tea bowl himself, took a sip, picked up a book on the desk, flipped through it, and began to read it.

Cui Jiu lowered his head and suddenly asked, "Dong Zhongshu, why didn't you go to the Hexi Corridor to teach?" ”

Dong Zhongshu said indifferently: "Originally, I wanted to take the students over there to have a look, clinker, just as I prepared my bags, I heard that His Majesty appointed Zhu Maichen as the Taishou of Longxi, and also led the history of Hexi Thorns, I felt a little bored when I boarded, so I simply went back to Chang'an." ”

Cui Jiu chuckled: "Even if Zhu Maichen is a thorn in history, the county is still Yang Chuan." ”

Dong Zhongshu shook his head and said bluntly: "In the early years, the old man taught the emperor more than once, there is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people. ”

"In the battle of Hexi, Yang Chuan's martial arts were world-famous, not inferior to Huo Quzhi and Cao Xiang.

Second, the Hexi Corridor has now become a scorched earth, and it is urgent to garrison the army and Tuntian, appease the people, improve the people's livelihood, and at the same time, it also needs an elite army to guard it, in case the Youxian King and the Western Regions in the west, and the Qiang people and Di people in the south, the emperor gave an order, not only to withdraw the Yulin army, but also to transfer Li Guang to Yanmen as a guard, which is an unwise move.

Third, Zhu Maichen was attached to Prime Minister Gongsun Hong, and he did not see an inch of success, but he was promoted all the way, not only replacing all of Yang Chuan's official positions, but also becoming a big man in the imperial court to monitor and coerce Yang Chuan. ”

Dong Zhongshu took a sip of tea, sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The court uses people like this, I don't know why." ”

Cui Jiu raised his head and stared at Dong Zhongshu meaningfully: "Where do you think Yang Chuan will go?" ”

Dong Zhongshu looked directly at Cui Jiu and said lightly: "It is also possible that he died in the Hexi Corridor or the Western Regions." ”

The two old thieves stared at each other for a long time before they staggered their gazes.

"The emperor sent a decree to let Huo Qubing lead the Yulin army to Longxi County to pick up Yang Chuan's family."

Cui Jiu put away the 'globe', turned around and left: "By the way, Dong Zhongshu, when do you plan to return to Longxi County to teach?" ”

Dong Zhongshu: "Don't go back, Yang Chuan is too punctual when the county, the old man can also learn some arithmetic and some agricultural and mulberry crops, Zhu Maichen's kind of fool is too guarded, and the official frame is full, but in fact, he is just a villain who clings to the powerful, and the old man wants to be killed with three punches and two kicks when he looks at it." ”

Cui Jiu laughed, and smiled back at a rare moment: "Unexpectedly, Dong Gong and Yang Chuanming have been fighting secretly for several years, but they have become the most favorite person in our Han world?" ”

Dong Zhongshu thought for a while, and said, "That little thief is the first to send a little woman to the old man......"

……

In the spring of the second year of Yuanzhen, on an ordinary day, Yang Chuan's family was taken back to Chang'an.

Originally, Liu Che wanted to entertain Liu Man, Zhiniang, and Naren Tuoya, but Liu Man's fluttering sentence "My men are gone, I've eaten fart rice", and he was sent away.

The three little women, as well as more than 200 servants, were escorted by a team of Yulin Army and returned to Zhuangzi in Zhuyuantou Village with great fanfare.

Then, there is no then.

Princess Nangong and the former queen Chen Ajiao lived in Zhuyuantou Village successively, helped take care of the thousands of acres of water and irrigation land of Yang Chuan's family, and took over all his family's business.

Of course, the business they took over was just some pickles, mills, papermaking, sericulture, etc., and the profit was not very large, about three or five hundred thousand yuan a year, compared with some private businesses of Cao Xiang and Yang Chuan, it was not worth mentioning at all.

Spring flowers are blooming, and the willows are still around.

By the Weishui, the Yang Zhuangzi, which had been silent for more than half a year, finally had a little fireworks, and the servants were busy farming, planting large patches of wheat, flax, rape and all kinds of vegetables in those fields.

The bellies of the three little women, like swollen pig's urine, bulged day by day.

Pinching the time, it will be produced in April.

"Yang Chuan is too disagreeable, he is about to be a yes, and he still takes people to fight, it's amazing!"

"It's not to blame Yang Chuan, if Liu Che hadn't withdrawn Huo Quai, Cao Xiang and Li Guang, how could he lead troops to fight if he was too guarded by a county?"

"Liu Yu is a pig's head, knowing that Yang Chuan doesn't like Zhu Maichen's thing, but he sent him to be a assassin in the past......"

Princess Nangong and Chen Ajiao are busy all day long, dealing with all the trivial matters on Yangchuan Zhuangzi, and every night when they eat, they will inevitably scold Liu Che.

They all agreed that Yang Chuan was trapped somewhere in the Western Regions.

And the culprit is Emperor Liu Che......

During this period, Princess Pingyang came several times, brought dozens of truckloads of money, grain, and silk, and sent a team of servants from the Eldest Princess's Mansion to station on the hillside outside Yangchuan's Zhuangzi to take on the task of patrolling and protecting.

In fact, this is also a piece of Princess Pingyang's heart.

Since Liu Man and the other three little women went home, Princess Nangong and Chen Ajiao have moved over, and there are more than 2,000 people in the two of them alone, and now, they are stationed in Zhuangzi, which is even more heavily guarded than Liu Che's Weiyang Palace.

The days passed unhurriedly.

More than a month later, that is, in the spring and March of the second year of Yuanzhen, Huo Qubing was sent to the Hexi Corridor again.

Before leaving, Huo Quzhi wanted to take a look at Yang Chuan Zhuangzi, but he was scolded by Liu Che, and each of them received seven or eight whips.

So, he had to quietly return one night after the army started, and met with Princess Nangong and the former queen Chen Ajiao on the Zhuangzi of Yang Chuan's family, and confirmed that the three little women of Yang Chuan's family were safe and sound, and then left quietly.

Cao Xiang was left in Chang'an City, without official or position, and once again became a gentleman in Chang'an City, messing around in the teahouse and wine shop all day long, bullying men and women, playing with articles, and living heartlessly.

As Yang Chuan expected.

The general Wei Qing asked for his life several times, and wanted to launch the third battle of Mobei, but he was pushed back by a group of old thieves in the court, and after handing over the military power of the Beida Battalion, he was idle at home and had nothing to do all day long.

I heard that in just two or three months, Wei Qing's temples began to turn white, and his body bones have not been very good......

……

Compared with the lifeless atmosphere of the Han Empire, Luding City, which is thousands of miles away, is lively.

The spring in the land of Mobei is often more than a month later than Guanzhong, so today's Beihai area is still snow-capped, and as far as the eye can see, the world is vast.

However, under the planning of Ah Tie, Ah Mu, Ah Jiu and other half-grown children, the people who had been nesting for more than two months had already begun to work and prepare for the spring in more than a month.

Because of the impact of the Great War and continuous snowstorms, many small tribes in Mobei have been annihilated, countless cattle, sheep and livestock have been frozen to death, and the main source of food for hundreds of thousands of people in Luding City is fish in the North Sea.

This large lake with a radius of two or three thousand miles is extremely rich in water resources, and even in the cold winter, the water surface is covered with solid ice more than a foot thick, and those half-sized children can always come up with various ways to harvest dozens of boatloads of fatty fish every day.

Of course, food is only one aspect.

For Yang Chuan, logging and mining are the most important things in the coming stage.

On the eastern shore of the North Sea, large areas of forest are systematically cut down, and taking advantage of the terrain, they are sent into the lake water to soak for two or three months, and after salvage, a little processing can produce a large amount of pulp.

These pulps, after dozens of processes, become the best paper in the world.

The Huns don't read, so how can they do it.

If you don't study, even if it is another seven or eight hundred years, the grassland people are still grassland people, drinking Maoru blood, slashing and burning, once the northern grasslands are persecuted by the severe cold climate, don't they turn over their horses and run to the Central Plains to plunder?

Yang Chuan is very accurate in his positioning-

Dahan Chef.

As a qualified cook, running to the grassland to establish himself as a king is the most basic step, but I want to make the Han Empire's dinner table more spacious and the ingredients more diverse...... That's it.

As for Liu Che, the imperial court, and those old thieves in the court, Yang Chuan was too lazy to tear them up.

In his own way, he wants to cook a 'hard dish' that is unparalleled in the world.

The second is the mining of coal and iron concentrate.

Relying on his own memory and experience, Yang Chuan quickly explored two coal mines, one iron mine, two aluminum mines and one lead mine within seven or eight hundred miles around Luding City.

He imposed strict 'food rationing' on the hundreds of thousands of people in Luding City, and at the same time, classified all people into occupations.

The grazing of cattle, sheep and livestock is handed over to a group of experienced shepherds.

After the beginning of spring, the fields were cultivated and handed over to the young women.

Most of the young and middle-aged laborers were all reorganized, and several large "mining teams" were formed under the military management model, and they cooperated with the infrastructure battalion to carry out large-scale mining of several mineral deposits.

As for the original infrastructure battalion, firearms battalion and cavalry battalion, they were responsible for the security of the city, and at the same time, they constantly plundered the population of those large and small tribes on the grassland, and all turned them into herdsmen, farmers, miners and lumberjacks.

Special measures must be adopted during special periods.

In order to complete the resource reserves and weapon upgrades of Luding City in the shortest possible time, Yang Chuan needs a large amount of refined iron, coal, and charcoal.

As a result, a complete set of efficient 'social operation system' came into being.

All land, pastures, cattle, sheep and livestock were 'state-owned', the population was uniformly established, food was uniformly allocated, wages were paid monthly, and a unified currency was implemented......

This reminded Yang Chuan of the 'big pot rice' two thousand years later.

I have to say that this set of 'statecraft' has unexpectedly erupted into an indescribable, sustained and powerful impetus in the barren and backward desert north.

At the beginning, the herdsmen who lived on the grassland could not adapt to Yang Chuan's '996' blessing at all, and felt that leaving the sheep and pastures would be an unprecedented catastrophe.

But.

After a period of adaptation.

It is good when everyone, young and old, lives in a big warm house, and after working every day, without having to worry about anything, they can receive a good meal.

You know, grazing on the steppe, a heavy rain, a blizzard, a war, can cause a large number of tribes to die out; At the same time, the cattle and sheep that they worked so hard to graze and protect did not actually belong to the herdsmen, but to the property of those steppe nobles.

Among them, including their wives and daughters, they are also the property of the noble lords.

Throughout the year, they graze their flocks all day long, but they may not even be able to eat a bite of mutton.

The days of such a fuck, they have passed year after year, and the noble lords are their heavens......

Now it's good, you don't need to herd sheep, you can eat a few pieces of mutton every day, drink a bowl of mutton soup, and those who perform well can drink a big bowl of soju every night.

For this kind of good life, the former Huns suddenly adapted to it.

That's right.

The former aristocratic lord was uprooted by Yang Chuan and all killed.

The high priests of every tribe were also killed, and not a single one was left.

Nowadays, on the grassland within a radius of thousands of miles in Luding City, the only aristocratic lord is Yang Chuan......

"Childe, spring is about to begin, our farm tools, seeds and livestock are ready, and we will be able to open up the wasteland in more than a month."

"While the snow has not yet melted, we need to transport the timber and coal to the mine as soon as possible, solve the fuel for two or three months, and then build the road when spring begins."

"Childe, the kind of limestone you said has been found, and the reserves are very large, but it is far away from our Luding City."

"It doesn't matter how far away, the key is to build roads."

"Why don't we build a city near the limestone mine, and then, while burning cement, build a road to Luding City?"

"That's a good idea......"

On this day, Yang Chuan was discussing with A Tie and a few people, and a half-grown man rushed over, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "Ah Liang, they have sent a message, something happened in the Hexi Corridor......

has been reviewed continuously, and the mentality is a bit broken
