Chapter 0512: Martyrs' Cemetery
After Ran Min returned to Daliang, he was not idle, the first thing he did was to inspect the ship division, take a look at the construction of various warships, and at the same time comfort those shipbuilders and give bonuses.
Ran Min paid more attention to coastal defense and the country's navigation than the emperors of previous dynasties.
First, to deal with the Jin State, it is necessary to have a strong sailor, otherwise it will not be able to defeat the sailor of the Jin State at all. Second, in Ran Min's plan, in order to demonstrate the influence of the Great Wei, the sailors of the Wei State in the future must be like Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty in the later generations, and bring the entire Southeast Asian region into the sphere of influence of the Great Wei!
Immediately afterwards, Ran Min went to inspect the construction of the Grand Canal, and the manpower was still far from enough.
In order to prevent the burden of the people, Ran Min had to pay a small amount of money, and only used more than 200,000 prisoners of war and prisoners to serve in labor, so the construction of the Grand Canal was relatively slow. At this rate, the Grand Canal would never have been completed in 20 years!
Subsequently, it was the Beifu army of the Jin State that continued to intrude on Xiapi, Pengcheng and Peijun.
For the Jin State, Ran Min's countermeasure was to defend, so he appointed Wei Zheng as the general of the expedition to the east, commanding 80,000 troops, guarding Xiapi, and supervising the military forces of Xuzhou and Yangzhou; Li Xin was appointed as the general of the expedition to the south, commanding 60,000 troops, guarding Xiangfan, and supervising the military forces of Jingzhou and Yuzhou; Wentai was appointed as the general of the expedition to the west, commanding 60,000 troops, guarding Chencang, and supervising the military of Guanzhong and Hanzhong.
Wei Zheng, Li Xin, and Wen Tai are all generals with heavy troops, and if it weren't for Ran Min's absolute trust in them, it would never have been possible to give them so much power.
On this day, Ran Min was fishing with Qin Mu.
An attendant hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Cui Hao is playing." ”
Ran Min took it and looked at it, and then put it aside.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what Master Cui wrote in the recital?" Qin Mu was quite interested.
"Little things. Tuoba Emperor succeeded to the throne and wanted to repair relations with my Great Wei and live in harmony. ”
Qin Mu smiled and said, "This Tuoba Emperor is really whimsical. ”
"Hmph, if it weren't for the money and food in the treasury to be used, it wouldn't be able to support the war. I can't send troops to destroy Daiguo now! ”
"Your Majesty, Daiguo has suffered defeats one after another over the years, his vitality has been greatly damaged, and even Tuoba Shi Yiji has died in the hands of His Majesty, but the foundation of Daiguo is still there, and it still occupies the geographical advantage of the grassland, if there is no absolute certainty, my Wei State cannot act rashly!"
"I know, otherwise I would have raised an army and destroyed the dynasty a long time ago."
Ran Min threw the fishing rod up, and saw that the fish had bitten the hook, so he lightly grabbed the tail of the carp, put it in the bamboo basket, and said, "That's right." Qin Mu, what do you think of Su Lin? ”
"Be brave and good at fighting, and don't go to illness; Governing the army and fighting wars is not inferior to Wei Qing. ”
"You think so highly of him?" Ran Min was quite surprised, there were really few people who could get such praise from Qin Mu. At least Ran Min had never seen Qin Mu praise a person like this!
"Su Lin successively served as a lieutenant of Xiaocai, a general of Beizhonglang, a guerrilla general, and a general of Zhenbei. Su Lin has been fighting with the Xianbei people all the year round, and is familiar with some of the tactics of the Xianbei people, and can often win more with less, more than 50 battles of different sizes, and has not tasted defeat, and the generation army that has died under Su Lin over the years has 80,000 if there are not 100,000! ”
Ran Min bowed slightly: "Qin Mu, the next step for me to destroy the generation, should I first let Su Lin lead the troops to frustrate the spirit of the Xianbei people?" ”
"Is Your Majesty so impatient?"
"Haha! Qin Mu, life has been in a hurry for decades, and I don't know how many years I can live. I can't leave these problems and these hard bones to future generations, and my vision is no longer limited to the Central Plains, not limited to China, and not limited to Mobei! I want to build a great empire that is far ahead of the Qin and Han dynasties and covers the world! ”
"In that case, then please listen to me, Your Majesty."
"If you have something to say, you don't have to go around in circles with me."
"Tuoba is not a good man. Although this person has great ambitions and ambitions, he is not like Tuoba Shiyijian, and he has the capacity to accommodate people! Your Majesty only needs to wait, and within three and five years, there will be great chaos in the country. ”
"Are you sure?"
Qin Mu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers don't have other skills, but they can still look at people's skills." When the minister traveled to Mobei in his early years, he had a relationship with this Tuoba Jun, although this person is brave, but he will repay him, see small profits and forget his righteousness, do big things and regret his life, such a person, such a monarch, even if His Majesty does not act, I am afraid that the country will be messed up by him. What's more, there is still a strongman like Liu Wuhuan in Daiguo? ”
The next day, Ran Min held a regular court meeting.
"Something's coming! Nothing to retreat from! ”
Shang Shu ordered Cui Hao to stand up first and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”
"Please."
"Recently, there have been continuous thunderstorms in Qingzhou, and the river water has soared, resulting in disasters in Le'an County, Jinan County, Taishan County and other places, with as many as four or five hundred thousand victims! Please Your Majesty immediately issue an order for disaster relief! ”
Hearing this, Ran Min couldn't help frowning: "There is another flood in Qingzhou?" ”
Ran Min really wondered in his heart, why are there so many things in Qingzhou? Whether it is floods, droughts, locust plagues, or even peasant uprisings, Qingzhou is the most frequent and the most serious.
We must find a way to completely cure it!
"Are the dikes of the Yellow River in disrepair?"
Cui Hao replied, "Yes." Over the years, the Yellow River has been diverted, or because it is too old, the dikes built by successive dynasties in the past are no longer able to stop the surging floods. ”
"Since the dikes along the Yellow River have fallen into disrepair, let's build them! The treasury is not short of this money! ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Wei Hu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”
"Please."
"The minister wants to impeach Jizhou assassin Shi Chengde, during his tenure, he was corrupt and corrupt, and he accepted countless bribes, and he connived at his son to be arrogant and domineering, and often did things to bully men and women! The minister has already collected evidence, and he can prove that Cheng De has colluded with the Black Mountain thieves who used to be the troubles of Jizhou! ”
Hearing this, Ran Min's brows furrowed and said, "The stakes are very high. Cheng De is an official of the imperial court, so he can't make a hasty judgment! The Criminal Department, Dali Temple and Yushitai were ordered to be tried, and Jinyiwei cooperated with the investigation. If it is verified, it will be severely punished! ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
When the things that the ministers should play were almost over, Ran Min said: "Zhuqing, I feel that the country has been fighting for many years, and there are many dead and wounded soldiers, and the vast majority of the heroic souls of the fallen soldiers are buried elsewhere, and they cannot be buried in their homeland, and the heroic souls are no more!" ”
"Last night, I had a dream, in which the souls of many fallen soldiers surrounded me, all thinking of following me forever to conquer the world! When they arrived in the underworld, they couldn't live in peace! ”
Ran Min said with emotion: "In order to comfort the souls of the fallen soldiers, I decided to build a martyr's cemetery. Those who have bones can be buried here, it is up to their families or their own decisions, and those who have no bones can also erect a mound and a tombstone! What do you think? ”
The ministers agreed.
Cui Hao even said: "Your Majesty is so considerate of the soldiers and loves the soldiers so much, even the heroic souls of the deceased soldiers are well cared for, how can the ministers be so unkind?" ”
"Then the Ministry of Household Funding will be allocated. Half of the household department is allocated, and the other half is from my internal affairs office! ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Ran Min said again: "By the way, my mausoleum can be built." ”
According to the rules, after the emperors of all dynasties ascended the throne, the imperial court would allocate funds to build imperial tombs, but Ran Min was sympathetic to the difficulties of the people's livelihood and had just been proclaimed emperor, and he did not want to work for the people and lose money, so he did not let people build their own mausoleums.
Ran Min immediately decided that his mausoleum and the martyrs' cemetery were all set in Beibi Mountain, but everything was simple and not extravagant!
There is no way, although the treasury is abundant, it is not yet time to enjoy it, so Ran Min can only save some money.
