Chapter 42: Chang'an Rebellion
"Your Majesty is not optimistic about the current Tuntian?" Xun Yu asked.
Although he did cause some trouble because of the unevenness before.
But this errand is still very good in Xun Yu's own opinion.
This boundless, vast field is the best proof of this.
As a result, he was directly denied by the emperor's words, and he was not very comfortable listening to it.
"I am still very optimistic about the matter of Tuntian. However, the rations for the people should only be used at the very beginning, and they should never be used in the future. Liu Wei said.
If he is not optimistic, he will not go to great lengths to do these things.
Although Liu Wei himself did not experience the era of big pot rice, he learned it in history books.
In those days, countless people starved to death.
"Wen Ruo, you should know that a person working for himself and working for others must have two attitudes." Liu Wei said earnestly, "When they know that no matter whether their work is good or bad, the court will give them a day's rations, and their work will definitely be superficial, just to simply complete the tasks you have assigned to them." ”
In fact, the reason is very simple.
But people stand in different positions and angles, and these simple truths are sometimes just not visible.
Xun Yu thought for a moment, and looked at Liu Wei's eyes suddenly full of admiration, "Your Majesty's words really hit the nail on the head!" ”
Liu Wei himself naturally does not have such a ruthless vision.
If I really want to talk about it, I can only thank him for reading two more books.
Shi Sun Rui asked in wonder on one side: "But Your Majesty, if not, how can we continue to Tuntian?" ”
"This matter needs to be gradual and urgent." Liu Wei was also thinking about this, "Let's use rewards and punishments first." ”
Xun Yu, Shi Sun Rui: ???
Liu Wei said: "There are many reasons why the people of Jingzhao abandoned their homes and fields, but in the final analysis, the most important thing is the continuous military disasters. The people need to have a certain ability to protect themselves, and the two of you should figure out how to do it yourself, as soldiers in your spare time, and as farmers in your busy time, you can form a tribe in the name of the imperial court to protect the land. ”
"As long as the people are willing to stay here and farm in peace, at least the first step is already success. It is permissible to reward those who have done well with their land, and to punish those who have done badly. ”
Xun Yu secretly wrote down what the emperor said, and then asked, "Your Majesty, should there be an upper limit to the fields to be rewarded?" ”
"Naturally, there should be an upper limit, and after a certain upper limit of land rewards are given according to the population, they can be changed to other rewards. For a diligent and conscientious people, the court can give him many rewards. Liu Wei said with a smile.
This upper limit space is not ordinarily large.
The final form of the land that Liu Wei wanted must be for the people to cultivate on their own and pay a certain amount of grain for the imperial court, rather than for the imperial court to organize the people to cultivate, which is originally putting the cart before the horse.
"No matter where the people come from, as long as they are willing to settle down here and farm, they should be given convenience. Rewards and punishments do not mean that you only reward a few people a year, you can reward a lot of people, and those who get the land will definitely become an example and a benchmark for those who do not get the land. Liu Wei said.
"You can even build a house nearby, and when the farm is not working, everyone can build it together. But the house is still rewarded to those who do well. The same is true for cattle and sheep. ”
"You can't keep squatting here and staring at Tuntian for the next few years, what you should do is to let the people here take the initiative to pay grain to the imperial court in the next few years."
Every time Xun Yu listens to the emperor, he can gain some new insights.
Today, he's grown again.
Xun Yu thinks that he is familiar with the things of Tuntian, and now he is familiar with it.
But as soon as he heard what the emperor said, he suddenly realized that Tuntian could still do this.
"Your Majesty's words, Ling Chen's mouth was suddenly opened, like an initiation!" Xun Yu said convincingly.
This sounds like a sycophant, but this is really Xun Yu's completely heartfelt.
"Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and Tuntian is not just Tuntian, there are many things that can be done. When the people begin to fight for their houses, fields, and future prospects, there will be no fear of war here! Liu Wei said, "A tuntian camp of more than 20,000 people, no one dares to take it lightly." ”
Xun Yu had a lot of thoughts, and the emperor's words reminded him of a lot of things.
But he still needs to think about it.
After taking a turn in the field, Liu Wei returned to the stockade.
This stockade, which was built completely in accordance with the situation of the military camp, is the base camp of Xunyu's Tuntian camp.
Xun Yu's thinking is actually quite good.
Gather the displaced people together, build a stockade, and build a stockade.
In the entire lifeless and barren atmosphere of Jing Zhaoyin, this can be regarded as a real field of hope.
Liu Wei's dinner is still mutton.
Only this time it's baked.
Liu Wei was in command, Yinglin became a chef, and Xun's uncle and nephew were in charge.
When the mutton was just served, the emperor came in the dust.
"You didn't wait for me to roast the lamb before you came in, did you?"
After the Huangfu Song saluted, Liu Wei joked with a smile.
Huangfu Song laughed, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your favor." ”
"Come, watch the wine for the captain!" Liu Wei shouted with a laugh.
It's really better to come early than to come by chance.
Huangfu Song's nose is also smart enough.
As soon as he arrived on the front foot, he came on the back foot.
Huangfu Song's probe horse should have been scattered far enough, otherwise he would definitely not notice that he had arrived at Jing Zhaoyin.
The hot warm wine was brought up by the little yellow door.
Huangfu Song glanced at the little yellow door, instinctively made a defensive gesture in his body, and then took the wine bowl and drank it all.
In the past, everyone's understanding of these eunuchs in Xiaohuangmen was mostly weak and narrow-minded.
But now, thanks to the current young emperor, Xiao Huangmen has almost equated with a snake.
They are tricky and ruthless, and they may stab you in the back at any time.
This has almost become the general understanding of the ministers.
Before Huangfu Song's nominal wine was completely swallowed, he opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, Niu Fu is dead!" ”
"How did you die?" Liu Wei asked.
Huangfu Song said in detail: "After Dong Zhuo was ambushed, although Niu Fu nominally commanded the Western Army, in fact, the internal chaos was already in chaos, and Li Dao and others were not convinced by Niu Fu. Yesterday night, there was a sudden chaos in the rebel camp, and the minister also learned afterwards that Niu Fu thought that someone was going to kill him and seize the army because of that chaos, so he rolled up gold and silver, took a few cronies, and prepared to run away. ”
"As a result, several of his cronies had different intentions when they saw the wealth, and they actually killed Niu Fu and sent his head to the minister's army."
"Your Majesty needs to take a look? The minister brought! ”
Liu Wei just stuffed a piece of mutton into his mouth, and said vaguely when he heard the words: "When you eat, don't affect everyone's appetite." ”
"Yui!"
"Is there any movement between Ma Teng and Han Sui?" Liu Wei asked.
"It's been a few days since the envoys of the imperial court went west, but there is nothing abnormal, Han Sui even withdrew the scouts, and the ministers are now a little unsure of what is in their stomachs." Huangfu Song said.
Liu Wei dipped the roasted lamb in the garlic paste, took a big bite, and chewed it slowly.
It wasn't until his mouth had extra space to allow him to speak that he said, "No news, maybe it's good news." ”
Huangfu bowed his head and continued: "Xu Rong and Duan Xuan have sent people to see the ministers several times to talk about serving the imperial court, and this matter is also for Your Majesty to decide. The minister thought that although he could kill them once and for all, it would make these rebels resist to the death, and it would not be beneficial to the war. ”
"If the imperial court can give them a glimmer of life, peace can be restored to Guanzhong as soon as possible."
Liu Wei glanced at the mutton that was still untouched in front of Huangfu Song, and said, "Eat the meat quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”
"Yui!" Huangfu Song bowed his head slightly.
After Liu Bianfeng cooked about two catties of meat, he picked up the wine bottle and drank it lightly, waiting for Huangfu Song and others to eat.
The faces of all the people reflected in the blazing brazier were flushed.
Looking at it from a distance, it gives people the illusion that it is not a cold winter wax moon at this time, but a scorching heat.
It wasn't until Huangfu Song finished eating that Liu Wei spoke: "Huangfu Taiwei means to lie to them?" ”
"Lying ......" Huangfu Song was stunned, this word made him a little dilemma.
"This infamy is for me to bear. I can not be a gentleman, but I cannot forgive hundreds of thousands of people. The people were displaced, their families were ruined, but the people who killed them ended up becoming ministers of the court, and if this was done, I would not have been able to sleep well at night. Liu Wei said very resolutely.
If you want to maximize the benefits of war, you can only deceive.
In this matter, it is impossible for Liu Wei to change his principles.
Huangfu Song admires the emperor's courage very much, but as a general, if Xu Rong and Duan Xuan surrender, the benefits are obvious.
And the education he received since he was a child did not allow him to use such a small way to deceive in such a thing.
If you deceive and kill, it will really stink for thousands of years.
"Your Majesty, in the Xiliang Army, Duan Xuan is actually a ...... Good general. Huangfu Song said in a very uncertain tone.
"Good general?" Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, in his mind, the word good general is an absolute compliment.
But looking at Huangfu Song's extremely uncertain tone, he was not sure about the word "good general".
"Your Majesty, this person is very different from other generals of the Xiliang Army. When he garrisoned Shaanxi, not only did he not plunder the people, but also took the initiative to cultivate the fields and led the army to help the people cultivate. Huangfu Song said, "The minister has no personal relationship with this person, but only sent someone to spy on him." ”
"However, although this person is a good general, he seems to be suspicious by nature, and there is no one he really trusts."
Liu Wei now has strong antibodies to the words "suspicious by nature".
These guys in charge of soldiers and horses seem to be suspicious by nature.
He, the emperor, seems to be no exception to his suspicious nature now.
"It's rare for Taiwei to mention someone in front of me, since you are so optimistic about Duan Xuan, I can allow him to surrender." Liu Wei bowed, "As for Xu Rong, trick him and kill him, just let Duan Xuan do it." ”
"There is no gentleman and villain on the battlefield, we only seek the final victory!"
“…… Only! Huangfu Song was a little complicated by the word "deceived".
Cold, he suddenly had an absurd feeling that the emperor was more suitable for being a general than him.
However, looking at the emperor's methods, if he is a general, he must be a strong general!
