"Daqian is prosperous, how can those people be the opponents of the imperial court? At present, they are far from being able to threaten the great cadres and the society, and the great cadres are still stable, and according to the current trend, there will be no problem in continuing the great cadres for another 200 years. The scholar said lightly.

"Is this the only way to do it?" Another scholar was reluctant to accept it, after all, as Confucian scholars, they had the ideal of self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world in their hearts.

The blue-clothed gentleman just now put the chess pieces in his hand into the chessboard and said, "You and I are just white, what are you doing worrying about such national affairs?" In the court, how many wise people are hundreds? What's the use of using? Let's play chess! ”

"Also, in his position, I can't wait for a white coat, what's the use of wanting more!"

In the Western Regions, the remnant sun is like blood, and the yellow sand is thousands of miles.

The shouts of killing resounded throughout the four fields, and tens of thousands of troops were fighting, and at this moment, an army of about 5,000 people rushed like a flood on the dirt slope in the distance.

The two armies that were fighting had no time to regroup, and the 5,000 cavalry went on a rampage, directly cutting one of them in two, and then cooperating with each other to strangle them.

"Your Highness, King Wusun has been defeated this time, and he must not have the strength to fight anymore, why don't we take the opportunity to completely eliminate them?"

"Don't be careless!" Wang Gu looked at the battlefield in the distance, this time he led an army of 5,000 troops, joined the army of the temple of the Liang Kingdom and the army of the Western Regions Protectorate, and came to the aid of Zheng Guo, and after several hard battles, he finally repelled the Wusun Kingdom.

"There are millions of people in Wusun Country, and there are 100,000 iron horses, if we really work hard, even if we defeat them, we won't be able to please them." Wang Gu shook his head and said, "What's more, we have to go to the rescue of Guizi and Broken Leaves." ”

Since two years ago, when the imperial court sent a large army to the west, Wang Gu has been fighting here with the armies of the five countries of the Western Regions. In addition to the Wusun people and the Dawan people, the Huns also continued to invade the Western Regions, and now the Western Regions can be said to be full of wars.

Small countries are struggling to survive, big countries are expanding their strength, and although the strength of the big cadres in the Western Regions is inferior, the Western Regions are vast, and the soldiers need to be guarded separately, and there is no way to calm the chaos.

Fortunately, after defeating Wusun, if the Dawan Kingdom is defeated, Daqian will have the manpower and time to re-stabilize the Western Regions.

The war in the Western Regions, the interruption of commerce for two consecutive years, has reduced the imperial court's tax revenue by millions. This trade route is very important to Daqian, from Dunhuang to the east, the four counties of Hexi, Longyou Guanzhong, these counties, half of the annual taxes paid are because of this trade route.

Without this trade route, the four counties of Hexi and Longyou will soon decline. At the same time, the imperial court lost millions of guan in revenue, and the northern border was also unstable, and the imperial court once again fell into a financial situation.

The imperial court has no money, and things have become more difficult, especially in the north, because of the chaos of the Hu people, the Zhenbei Protectorate has completely lost control of the situation.

The twelve Xiongnu, Fuyu, Xianbei and other miscellaneous tribes fought in a scuffle. The military strength of the Zhenbei Protectorate was simply unable to subdue these tribes. In order to save money and grain, the imperial court abolished most of the Zhenbei Protectorate, divided the 12 Xiongnu divisions, and relaxed the monitoring of the Xiongnu, resulting in today's situation.

The Daqian court used to only think about suppressing the Xiongnu, but as a result, the power of the Xiongnu was suppressed, and other steppe tribes took the opportunity to rise. At the beginning, the Xiongnu was a single family, but now it has become a three-point grassland.

Although these Hu people did not dare to attack because of the power of the great cadres, some small actions emerged one after another. Nowadays, on the grassland, there are many Hu tribes, and if they can be unified, it will be a big trouble for the Daqian court.

A heavy rain in Guanzhong lifted the drought in Guanzhong, and the wind blew, the clouds shifted eastward, and the next Kanto region also began to rain. The rain moistened the somewhat parched earth in the north.

The rain fell on the mottled walls of Luoyang City, and the moss in the cracks in the walls became even greener.

Wang Yi stood on the wall of the palace city, looking at the city in front of him from afar, as the center of the Great Qian Empire, this is a well-deserved economic and cultural center, although it is raining, but on the Suzaku Street, caravans are still coming and going.

Luoyang City, with a population of more than 500,000, is the city that collects the most taxes from the imperial court, but according to the calculations of the family, all kinds of taxes in Luoyang City are declining.

Since the establishment of the Xingxing five years ago, the tax revenue of the imperial court has been slowly declining, and it can be seen from the tax revenue alone that the imperial court is now worse day by day. But although I saw it, the royal family did not have a solution.

This is different from the situation that the imperial court encountered before, and even the situation of the vassal states in the pre-Huai period. At that time, there were countless wars and tyrannical extortions in the vassal states, but as long as the monarch was wise and abolished the harsh government, the country would soon regain its strength, but this was not the case with the great cadres.

Although Wang Yi is only the master of the master, he can be a person, but he is not mediocre, and he has not carried out any edicts to oppress the people.

If there is a disaster in various places, it will also be rescued in time, and there are nobles, eunuchs, and heroes below who have done too much, and they will also be cleaned up. But the world has come to the current situation step by step.

The problem of the imperial court was simple: the population was growing, but the growth of productivity was far less than the growth of the population.

The imperial court is constantly moving and immigrating, and forcibly exiles the official eunuchs and nobles who have committed crimes. This step is not wrong, but it can only be slowed down.

A few days ago, there was a discussion in the imperial court, and it was necessary to relocate some nobles, heroes, and eunuchs to the border. But there was so much resistance that the officials who raised the issue gave up.

After all, if it passes, who will be sent? Okay, there is no crime to sit and drive the whole family to the border? I'm afraid that as long as this decree is passed, the world will suddenly be in chaos. The court will also become a miasma, don't think about governing the world anymore.

Even the royal family had many people who opposed this decree.

In the face of this situation, the royal family is also discussing how to reform and change the law, the most radical of which is to clean up all the nobles, heroes, and eunuchs and move them to the borderlands.

If all these nobles, heroes, and eunuchs who have a large amount of land are cleared up, the great cadres will immediately vacate a large amount of land and rights, and the land alone will allow a large number of people to have acres of land, and the current situation can be delayed for hundreds of years.

But after doing so, the imperial court will be completely unable to control the world. With a vast territory of thousands of miles and hundreds of millions of people, can it be controlled by the emperor alone? I'm afraid he can't do it even if he's tired.

Or divide the royal family and the children of the public office into various places to govern one place and handle government affairs, but this is no different from the division of Bang Zhou in those years? At that time, it will not take a few decades, and the world will become the first Huai countries again.
