For anyone, Huo Quzhi's throw is undoubtedly an olive branch.

He is not only the ceiling of the military generals of the dynasty, but also has brilliant achievements. is also the emperor's most important confidant, brother-in-law, plus 'own son'.

Well, it's not quite accurate to describe it as a godson.

The emperor's trust in Huo Qubing is even more important than that of his parents.

This is the answer given by history.

"I'm very grateful for Huo Hou's attention, but the Han Dynasty is full of generals. General Wei and Huo Hou are not world-famous generals, and they are talented. My talent and ambition are not in the battlefield. Su Wu refused very simply.

Huo Quzhi was not surprised, nodded slightly, and did not mention this topic again.

In recent years, the Han Dynasty has been integrating more and more tribes, nationalities, and vassal states into the surrounding countries under the Han Dynasty.

The Emperor has increased the power of the 'vassal states'.

The official position of the subject state is to be in charge of handling the relevant affairs of the subordinate state, which is equivalent to the foreign minister of the Han Dynasty.

According to the historical route, Su Wu will worship the subject country in the future and take charge of the nine translation orders.

However, because he delayed the most important 20 years as an official, he herded sheep in the Xiongnu, and became a Han official after returning to China, and did not do much.

Now there is no need to go to the Huns to herd sheep, and Su Wu should be able to go further in the future.

Huo Guang and Su Wu were seated separately in the lower position.

Before Huo Guang sat down, he quietly looked at the distance between the kneeling cushion and the left and right table corners, and made sure that the kneeling cushion was placed in the middle before he sat down with confidence.

A few people were chatting and eating.

After Huo Quzhi found that Huo Guang was seated, he looked at the dishes on his side several times, and his expression was indescribably uncomfortable.

Huo Quzhi glanced at his dishes and chopsticks, thought about it, raised his hand and adjusted the way the chopsticks were placed at will.

Huo Guang suddenly let out a long breath, his expression relaxed.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is in the late stage, and there is no help...... Huo Qu's illness was secretly worried.

After the meal, Huo Guang and Su Wu went together.

Huo Quzhi took Liu Qing's chariot to the military mansion on the outskirts of the city, and instructed Ji Qiu to start trying to create all the utensils of the secret pattern army, such as horseshoes, arrow clusters and other small things, and start trying first.

Liu Qing was a little surprised when he came over.

Because between the forbidden army camp and the military palace on the outskirts of the city, construction is being carried out.

On the official road from the northeast to Chang'an, there is a crowd of cars and horses. Truckloads of copper and iron raw materials were brought over.

The ore veins previously explored in the northeast have been mined by ink workers, and some of them have been transported to Chang'an after preliminary processing for Ji Qiu and others to cast and refine ordnance.

On the first floor of the secret realm of the military palace, the forbidden army practiced day and night, sweating like rain.

On the second floor of the secret realm, Ji Qiu was walking and talking with a few people:

"You blame me now, maybe you'll thank me later."

"We wait for the Mo family to practice, and only by attaching ourselves to a country can we have the opportunity to cast national weapons.

If you can build a city or forge an ordnance to defend against foreign enemies, you can earn gas. Isn't it a good thing to improve your practice? ”

Several people around refuted in unison: "You didn't say that before, clinging to the current dynasty is not in line with my Mo family practice."

This time it's really your wickedness! ”

"Ji Qiuling deceived me and others, how can I be safe?"

These people are all Mo family cultivators, originally scattered all over the world, some live in seclusion, and some make a living by receiving some sects, forging artifacts from powerful families, and laying out mountain gate protection.

There are not a few children of the Mo family who are unwilling to serve the court.

When Ji Qiu first joined Huo Quai's command, he belonged to the reformed and reemployed people who were rescued from Zonghengdao.

But he worked for Huo Qubing for a while, and found that he could not only show his strengths, but also improve his national strength, resist foreign enemies, give back the qi he had received, and improve his cultivation.

A virtuous circle fully embodies the value of life.

Ji Qiu now feels that it is really fragrant to be a worker.

At present, Han is developing drastically, and there is an urgent shortage of Mohist talents.

Huo Qu's illness then asked Ji Qiu to gather more Mo family cultivators for the Han Dynasty.

Ji Qiu happily agreed, contacted himself to know, and came to Chang'an with the ink who traveled the world.

These ink writers came as promised, and after they came, they found that there was a forbidden army following them, and they wouldn't let them go.

Ji Qiu played the role of a lobbyist, and appeared to say: You see how good I am now, and I am working hard.

The Mo family's team that was fooled by him to come over to work is only partially here at the moment, and Mo Xiu, who doesn't know the details from all over the country, is still coming one after another.

At this time, inside and outside Chang'an City, there was a steady stream of cars and horses, and all kinds of people gathered.

When Huo Quzhi and Liu Qing returned to the house, it was already dark.

The fiery sunset, converging the last rays of afterglow, quietly set.

After the husband and wife returned home, they bathed in the clear pool and did something they loved.

Liu Qing diagnosed a happy pulse, but there was no fetal movement yet, and he did not feel anything abnormal.

However, the couple was overjoyed and studied the origin and evolution of half-life life.

The night is getting darker.

Liu Qing is dressed in a warm apricot lining, the texture is silky and slender, the middle shirt is slightly open, and there are two playful shoulder sockets on both sides of the delicate collarbone.

"Husband, the doctor said that if she is pregnant, she will not have sex for at least three months.

How about letting my two attendants serve my husband? ”

When the owner is inconvenient, they are responsible for untying the sable cicada wrapped around the waist and finding another place to put it.

If the male owner is willing, they can also give the title of concubine after they are favored.

The respect of Princess Liu Qing, the girl who serves is also carefully selected, and she is charming.

Waiting outside the dormitory is a waitress who can sleep at any time.

Liu Qing's eyebrows were coquettish, and he said: "If the husband has a heart and doesn't look down on my maid, he can also take a concubine by himself." ”

Huo Quzhi said: "Prepare for your husband to teach you some new skills first." ”

“？” Liu Qing looked puzzled.

On this night, Her Royal Highness learned a lot of new things and deeply understood the essence of human culture.

For example, the mouth can't speak, and the shoulders can't carry, all of which are not in the category of Kun Yin and Yang Technique.

……

The next day and all day, Liu Qingdu's face was ruddy, and he gave Huo Quzhi several blank eyes.

She brushed her teeth, took a bath, and then changed her clothes and went to Liang Yuan, where her clothes were embroidered.

Huo Quai's illness was early in the morning, and then returned to the forbidden army hall to deal with military affairs.

On a morning in early November, the sun was clear outside the window.

Huo Quzhi took a list of generals of the forbidden army and examined it carefully.

There are 100,000 forbidden troops, and there are more than 300 people above the rank of colonel.

Huo Quzhi is considering the adjustment of the military system.

And these officers at and above the rank of colonel are the first batch of adjustment targets.

If you want to make the Han army stronger, you must not only have good training and equipment. The military system, including the people's livelihood, must keep up and be used as a backing.

After the Spring and Autumn Period, the most important military reform was the Hufu cavalry shooting, which came from Zhao during the Warring States period.

At that time, King Wuling of Zhao found that the Hu people wore narrow sleeves and short jackets, which was more convenient for living and hunting.

The use of cavalry, bows and arrows in combat has greater flexibility and mobility than the military vehicles and spears of the Central Plains.

At that time, the army of Zhao was mainly infantry and chariot soldiers. Often before the army can react, the Hu people have already finished fighting and running, and they can't catch up.

So King Wuling proposed to learn the simplicity and speed of Hufu cavalry and archery, and carry forward the cavalry.

This is the most important innovation in the concept of cold weapon warfare in history.

When the Zhao army began to travel lightly, through standardized and hard training, the formation of cavalry formation, soon surpassed the Hu people.

Later generations also continued this reform system, and in different periods, they built up one strong army after another.

The emperor, Huo Quai, and Wei Qing all have the common aspiration to make the Chinese language, Han culture, and the glory of the Han people deeply imprinted in the bones of generations of future generations, and will be passed on.

To achieve this, the most important foundation is to strengthen the country and the army!

Huo Quzhi's primary goal is to clarify the military merit system and make the promotion method of the Han army clearer.

To put it simply, meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, further encouraging the troops to fight bravely.

Of course, a strong army must echo with the national strength, national policy, and the monarch's ideas in order to achieve good results.

Huo Quzhi is going to adjust some of them first to see the results.

After looking through the list of generals and colonels at all levels of the forbidden army, Huo Quzhi took out the cultivation method left by his son.

The Zongheng family and the family practice of the son are very profound.

Huo Quai's inspection of his practice is to consider further digging up the secrets hidden behind the sub.

Some of its methods of communication through bamboo slips require independent cultivation to use, and Bai Nanyu cannot correspond to transmission.

Huo Quzhi took out his spare time to study his son's cultivation, just to see if there was any secret behind this part.

In the afternoon, Huo Qubing was summoned by the emperor and came to the study of Weiyang Palace.

Dong Zhongshu, Li Cai, Zhang Tang, Wei Qing, Cheng Buzhi and other civil and military gathered.

The emperor looked around at everyone: "Recently, I and Prime Minister Gongsun Cheng, Li Yushi, Zhang Tang, Fuzi and others have jointly formulated 21 new policies.

These new policies will be promulgated one after another to convey to the world. Invite the people to come over, I want to hear your opinions. ”

Dong Xu, the chamberlain, presented the scrolls to everyone to see.

Written on the volume is a series of new policies implemented by the emperor, a total of 21 articles. Involving civil, legal, commercial and other aspects of people's livelihood.

The so-called people's livelihood is related to the daily life of the people, clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Governing a country, in addition to the regulation and control of the emperor and ministers, can affect the ups and downs of people's livelihood, including natural disasters, floods and earthquakes.

In particular, the intensity of the floods is extremely high.

All dynasties have governed the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Huanghuaihai, the lower reaches of the Liaohe River and South China.

The country's huge financial demand and over-issuance of currency may also lead to rising prices and affect people's livelihood.

How to adjust these things is what the minister, the emperor, needs to do.

The emperor's policy was to regulate these matters, and all subordinate ministries had to cooperate with them.

After everyone had read the scroll, the emperor asked, "What is the opinion of the secretaries?"

Dasi Nong, you speak first. ”

Dasi Nong, one of the Nine Qings, said: "After the founding of the Han Dynasty, I followed some of the systems left by the Qin Dynasty, and cultivated twice a year in the Guanzhong area, and now it has been extended to various local counties.

This year's veins are abundant, and there are no major disasters, which can ensure that it will be a good year.

After the autumn harvest, the preliminary inventory of the state treasury showed that the increase in grain reserves and production income was 10 percent more than last year's.

His Majesty proposed in the new policy that two new dams should be built next year, and the increase in income will be enough to support it. ”

One percent more, that is, an increase of more than 10 percent over last year, which is not bad...... Huo Qu's illness was converted into an increase in income ratio for later generations, and he secretly calculated it.

The emperor asked, "How is the salt and iron matter going?" ”

Grain reserves can ensure that the people can eat enough, and salt and iron are the bulk of the increase in tax revenue of the national treasury and the foundation of the national treasury.

Da Si Nong's slightly fat and rich face showed a smile:

"Your Majesty has been preparing for the rectification of the salt and iron affairs two or three years ago, and now that the salt and iron are privately owned in the local area, the resistance is not great. General Wei, Huo Hou has been able to defeat the strong enemy with troops in recent years, and he has also suppressed many things, so that the local area does not have the courage to rebound.

Therefore, the ministers were able to implement the new policy according to His Majesty's orders, and the initial results were achieved. ”

Da Si Nong said it quite tactfully, and praised it in all aspects.

The emperor also had a slight smile on his face, turned his gaze to Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and pointed to a border map not far away.

On that picture, the emperor drew two large scarlet circles and a small circle.

The large circle is one west and one north, and the small circle is located in the extreme west of the Western Regions.

The large circle to the west is Qiang and Di, including the land of Nanyue to the south, which is the border trouble west of the Han Dynasty.

To the north are the Xiongnu.

The westernmost circle is Dawan to the west of the Western Regions.

The three circles marked out by the emperor himself are what he is going to do in the next stage, and they are also the goals that the Han will solve in the next stage.

The first priority is to eliminate border troubles, and the second is to continue to expand the territory.

The small circle is the emperor's interest.

The emperor said: "Lang Zhongling, the Western Regions were defeated by you, and you will supervise everything." I heard that there is a country called Dawan in the Western Regions, and the horse is very good. ”

Huo Quzhi glanced at the small circle on the map, which was Dawan's location: His Majesty had set his eyes on Dawan's horse.

This matter was very famous during the reign of Emperor Wu, but it was obviously advanced.

Historically, after Liu Che recovered the Western Regions, he hoped that Dawan would pay tribute to horses.

Dawan relied on the fact that he was far enough away from the Han Dynasty and although the country was small, he did not take the emperor's orders seriously, and replied to ridicule, ignoring the emperor's will at all.

At that time, Huo Quai, Wei Qing was dead, and there was no general in the country, so he sent Li Guangli, the general of the second division, a mediocre person, to levy Dawan, and the soldiers were lost.
