Chapter 378: Make the best use of people

Su Wei met with the emperor, and the overall result was still satisfactory to him.

A few days later, Su Wei came to visit his friend Gao Gong, and revealed His Majesty's attitude towards the turmoil in the Southern Dynasty and the attitude towards Wang Lin and He Ruobi, the two feudal ministers, Gao Gong frowned slightly, and then said:

"Your Majesty Shengming, since the Sima family lost the country, the north and the south of the world were divided, the common people were unfortunate, the people were displaced, the Central Plains was depressed, hunger and cold flowed, and starvation filled in the trenches, in history, there has never been a great chaos like this."

"Emperor Xiaowu reformed the Han system, called the Central Plains Zhengshuo, and the Southern Dynasty was despised by the barbarians, and the north and south have been centrifugal for a long time, and it is difficult to clean up such a mess unless there is a big-hearted monarch. Chen Shubao, the lord of Chen, although this person is smart but has no great talent, he has a city government but no skills, he is full of ambition but is indulged in pleasure, and he has no emperor domineering at all, and the unification of the north and the south is just around the corner! ”

Su Wei is not as excited as Gao Gong, he has cultivated himself since he was a child, and has already reached the state of being pampered and humiliated, and the thousands of years of meritorious deeds of assisting a generation of heroes to build the foundation of the country are placed in front of him, he just smiled slightly, and said:

"The world has its own providence, how can human beings do it? Now it seems that His Majesty is destined to be the lord of the world, and we are fortunate to have a good reputation in the history of Banban in the future. ”

Gao Gong also smiled, but he listened to Su Wei's words:

"But... I persuaded Your Majesty to dismiss the two-year conscription, although Your Majesty has taken a big step, but still insists on refusing to exempt all of them, Brother Zhaoxuan knows what is going on? ”

Gao Gong sighed and said, "I have also heard about this matter, Your Majesty attaches great importance to Huainan and Luoyang.

"Huainan is the granary of our dynasty, the people of Wufu are abundant, and it is the front line of our dynasty against the southern dynasty, Your Majesty wants to rely on the construction of canals and warehouses to firmly control Huainan, this statement is reasonable. But Luoyang... The statement given by His Majesty is that he wants to use Luoyang as the operation hub, support Chang'an to the west, and send troops out of Jiangling to the south, control the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and prepare for the destruction of Chen in the future, but I always feel that His Majesty still has a hidden meaning in it..."

Su Wei: "Your Majesty wants Luoyang to be the new capital?" ”

Gao Gong shook his head: "I don't know, but eighty percent is, otherwise what would Yang Su do?" Why is it years since I was in office? If you are not in the household department, you may not know that the money and grain, chariots, horses, livestock, and craftsmen of the imperial court pour into Luoyang every day like a tide, if it is just to build ships and train soldiers, does it take so much manpower and material resources? ”

"That's... Do you know the details? ”

"I don't know, this matter is supervised by Tang Yong, Pei Shiju, and Yang Su, and I can't interfere, in the final analysis, I'm just the right minister and not the only one." Gao Gong hung his head, seemingly a little discouraged, but in a blink of an eye, he was full of energy: "Concubine Tang gave birth to twins in the palace a month ago, and His Majesty's attitude towards Tang Yong seems to be a little subtle. ”

"Fight for what? Race for the left? Su Wei shook his head, "Your Majesty can't agree, you should have realized it a long time ago." ”

Gao Gong was dismissed by what he said.

Since the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty, there has never been a monarch like Gao Wei who has reused talents who were originally born in the enemy camp, but politics is very particular about checks and balances, Gao Gong A young man is less than thirty years old and will enter the prime minister, which has made a cadre of ministers dissatisfied, even if Gao Gong has proven that his ability is extraordinary, there are still people who are not convinced, if Su Wei becomes the prime minister again, there may be some chaos.

After all, in everyone's opinion, Gao Gong and Su Wei both wear a pair of pants. Okay, the entire court is controlled by you fortunate ministers from Guanzhong, and this is okay, it's only strange if you don't make trouble.

The ministers will not allow it.

In order to avoid deteriorating the court dispute into a regional dispute and a party dispute, the emperor will not allow it!

"Cheap Pei Shiju, that's it..."Gao Gong sighed.

"I don't think Pei Shiju will be able to get his wish."

Facing the inquiring gaze of his friend, Su Wei took a sip of hot tea indifferently before saying, "What did Your Majesty think of Pei Hongda before?" acted trickily and vacillated in his position, didn't His Majesty clean up and suppress him once or twice? Looking at His Majesty's employment again, he requires outstanding meritorious service, veteran behavior, and absolute loyalty, is his Pei Shiju comparable to Murong Yan in merit, or is his loyalty comparable to Hu Luguang? ”

The most important thing is that Pei Shiju is too young, if the prime ministers are all such young people, it will inevitably make the Manchu civil and military worried.

As the two prime ministers who were in charge of the empire's civil and military affairs, the right prime minister Gao Gong was a young man, upright in nature, full of enthusiasm, and often determined to forge ahead. Then the left minister must be mature and steady, thoughtful, and for the empire, this person must be sensitive, and he must have outstanding merits and prestige.

But Gao Gong pondered for a long time, and he couldn't figure out who could replace Tang Yong as the left minister, most of the veterans who followed Emperor Shenwu to fight the country in the past withered, and the few who were still alive also stepped into the coffin with one foot.

Pi Jinghe went home after relieving the siege of Shouyang.

Hu Luguang is alive and kicking, but the emperor has been extremely favored by the Hu Lu family, and the rewards are continuous every year, the months and months are cold and warm, and the children of the Hu Lu family are all shaded and given knights, and the hidden behind the warmth is not a deep fear, the emperor is not even willing to give Hu Luguang a chance to go into battle, how can he let him be the left minister again?

This person must be meritorious, sensitive, qualified and prestigious... Gao Gong and Su Wei thought for a moment, and pronounced the same name almost at the same time.

"Wang Lin?"

Zhaoyang Palace!

Pei Shiju was leaning over the map, holding a wolf to circle the location of the project for the emperor, and explained to the emperor while circling it:

"Your Majesty, please see, this warehouse is built in the north of Luoyang City seven miles, Cangcheng covers the surrounding ten miles, wear three hundred cellars, after the construction will play a role that cannot be ignored in our dynasty, not only the granary of Luoyang, for the central hub of Guandong and Guanzhong, Huainan Huaibei, Henan and Hebei grain will be transported here through the water and land channel in the future, and then transported to Shaanzhou by land from here, follow the river, Wei into Guanzhong, Longyou..."

This warehouse is located at the mouth of the Yellow River at the mouth of the Wei River in the northeast of Huayin County, Shaanxi Province, near the left of Tongguan. In the future, the Kanto rice will be transported into Guanzhong and must be gathered here first, and its position is important, and it will be the largest granary in Guanzhong..."

This warehouse, located in Liyang, Weizhou, is north of Da Ling Mountain, west of Yongji Canal, east of the Yellow River, water transportation is quite convenient, from the Hebei region to requisition of rented rice, can be concentrated here, and then from the Yellow River to Luoyang. When our dynasty uses troops in the north, we can store the rice, grain, and military supplies transported from Jianghuai here first, so that the speed of our army's material mobilization can be greatly increased, but the cost can be greatly reduced..."

……

Pei Shiju told the story vividly, and the emperor and the crown prince watched from the side.

Cushman didn't have much to ask, and the locations he had chosen for these strategic locations were roughly the same as he remembered.

Prince Gao Heng was very interested, and every time Pei Shiju finished his introduction, he asked him to explain why he wanted to build a warehouse here, what geographical advantages there were around, how large the capacity of the granary was, and how many people could be supplied.

Fortunately, Pei Shiju had done enough homework in advance and explained it very carefully, when he was heard why there were so many and messy official warehouses everywhere, Pei Shiju first looked at the emperor's face, and then explained:

"His Royal Highness knows that the ministers are doing this for the future, and we have been building the canal for nearly ten years, and these official warehouses can only exist by relying on the canal, and the canal exists by virtue of the natural water conservancy in various places, and the topography and meteorology are different, and there are some differences in the amount of water, sediment content and riverbed characteristics.

"To transport grain and rice from the Huai River and the Yangtze River basin to Guanzhong, Luoyang or Yecheng, it is impossible to rely on the same ship to transport it at one time, and it is necessary to have hydraulic sections that adapt to the water nature of different river sections to transport, so we plan to build a large number of giant granaries in the hub area along the canal for savings and transit, and then transport them to different places according to the situation...

"Your Highness, please look, for example..."Pei Shiju leaned over again and drew a line from Luoyang to Shaanzhou, "The transportation conditions here are more complicated, so we plan to add three more official warehouses along this line to strengthen the transportation of this section." ”

"Your Highness, once these canals and official warehouses are completed, to the north, grain can be transported to Jinyang and Liyang, to the south can support Nanyang and Jiangling, and to the west can directly support Guanzhong and Longyou.

"Especially in Guanzhong, although the soil is fertile, but the land is narrow and there are many people, and the production volume often cannot meet the needs of the garrison and the people, while the areas rich in grain production are concentrated in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the Hebei Plain, the fertile soil of Henan and the Jianghuai River Basin.

Gao Wei also bowed his head, and ordered Pei Shiju to explain the recent situation in Luoyang, but Pei Shiju shirked and said:

"It is good to teach Your Majesty to know that the minister's mind is only focused on supervising the construction of the canal and the official warehouse, but the minister does not understand the specific matters of building the city."

Gao Weiqi said: "Who is in charge of the reconstruction of Luoyang now?" ”

Yang Su was still staring, but there was someone else who participated in the specific matters for him.

"This person's name is Yuwenkai, the son of Yuwengui, Xiaoguan was captured by Yang Su in the first battle, Yang Su was pleased with his talent, ordered him to be a staff member, and did not hide it from His Majesty, although this person was born in Jiangmen, but he is erudite and talented, especially good at building cities, building water conservancy and other matters, the minister can imagine just looking at the drawings, if Luoyang is expanded by him, its majestic beauty will not be under the Yedu!"

Gao Wei was stunned at first, then touched the top of the prince's head, sighed deeply, and said:

"There are so many pseudo-Zhou talents, I have to work hard for my father in his early years, and the national strength of the poor Qi defeated the Zhou State, so that Guanzhong belongs to me, otherwise let the Yuwen clan have so many good ministers to assist and then compete with me, and it is still unknown who will die."

"I know that you have been reading the story of Han Gaozu recently, but do you know that Han Gaozu has the assistance of Xiao He and Zhang Liang and has the world? In the future, you will rule as a king, and you will make the best use of those who learn from Han Gaozu. ”

Gao Heng glanced up at his father's tall figure, and then nodded heavily.
