For this matter, Wei Xiang and Xiao Wangzhi could not refuse, and they did not want to refuse, so they hurriedly bowed down to receive the edict.

Building a city is not something that can be built overnight.

Site selection, city construction, layout, and migration ...... Everything has to be taken care of, and everything needs to be prepared.

Of all these things, the most difficult and important thing is the matter of the migrants.

Migrating the rich and powerful from the Kanto region to the Guanzhong region to achieve strong cadres and weak branches is the primary purpose of Jianling County.

Only by gathering the local heroes at the feet of the Son of Heaven and stepping on them to the death can the Han Dynasty's country be stable and the momentum of land annexation can be effectively suppressed.

This move is similar to the relocation of the capital in Pangeng.

However, the resistance to forcibly moving the wealthy and wealthy from their homeland is absolutely unprecedented.

Without such a "strong order" as Wei Xiang and Xiao Wangzhi, it would never have been completed.

"There are a lot of things to do, and it can't be done in a day, I have a book here, which contains some of my ideas, you can take them back and see what kind of mausoleum I want to build."

After Liu He finished speaking, he took out a bound book from under the case, with the words "Pingling Atlas" written on the cover, and handed it to Wei Xiang.

There are pictures and words in this "Pingling Atlas", which are some plans made by Liu He for Pingling County.

On the day Pingling County was built, it would definitely become the first county of the Han Empire - this can be regarded as Liu He's filial piety to Emperor Xiaozhao.

"As for the matter of migrating, I have decided to migrate 10,000 wealthy families with more than one million families from Henan, Hanoi and other counties to Pingling County."

This sentence seems simple, but the word "migration" is completely revealed.

The wealthy and powerful families of the Kanto prefectures can be moved to Guanzhong, which can be done in two ways: "migration" and "fundraising".

The former is mandatory, the latter voluntary.

Which way to immigrate to Lingxian is almost closely related to the strength of the imperial power.

If the imperial power is strong, he will migrate; If the imperial power is weak, it will be recruited.

The Son of Heaven used the word "migration" at this moment, which means that the whole process must be full of bloody storms.

But now, the imperial power is weak, and he doesn't even have military power, where does the Son of Heaven have enough strength to complete the matter of this "migrant".

Could it be that the Son of Heaven still wants to use Huo Guang's power to complete this?

Wei Xiang and Xiao Wangzhi looked at the Son of Heaven suspiciously, but from the determined eyes of the Son of Heaven, they couldn't see the slightest sign of "relying on Huo Guang".

Thinking of what they saw and heard in the Xianheng wine shop the day before yesterday, they were even more sure that when the Son of Heaven considered this matter, he did not add Huo Guang's factor to it.

Then, there is only one possibility left - that is, when "Jianling County" and "migrants", Huo Guang is no longer there.

When people are gone, there is no need to take them into account.

"Your Majesty, if you want to do this, I'm afraid you must first remove the general and his henchmen from the court."

is worthy of Wei Xiang, without any hesitation and cover-up, and straightforwardly pointed out the most critical fundamental.

In the original timeline, it was Wei Xiang who personally wrote to Emperor Xiaoxuan, begging the Son of Heaven to eradicate the Huo Party, and finally opened the road to the destruction of the Huo Party.

Liu He smiled with satisfaction and nodded.

In front of these two people, it seems that there is no need to hide anything.

Xiao Wangzhi's face was full of surprise, and he immediately got up from the couch, decisively fell down in front of the Son of Heaven, and said tremblingly: "If Your Majesty wants to fall Huo, Weichen is willing to be a pawn." ”

"Weichen is also willing to be the pioneer of the Son of Heaven." Wei Xiang bowed down with some excitement and said.

"The two Aiqing, please, whether it is Jianling County or Baohuo, it is not yet the time for the final battle, and I now have another tricky thing for you to wait to do."

Wei Xiang and Xiao Wangzhi stood up and sat down again.

"This year's county and state plan to report the matter, I want to hand it over to the second secretary to do."

Wei is quite a veteran of Yangzhou and a former governor of Henan County, so he knows the affairs of the local county and the country well, and it is most suitable to have the help of Xiao Wangzhi, who is in the prime of life.

"We will never live up to Your Majesty's trust, so when we verify the report, will we act impartially with those Huo Parties, or will we put a separate volume?"

Wei Xiang is really fast-talking, Liu He was still hesitating how to bring up this matter just now, but he didn't expect Wei Xiang to be generous, which also saved Liu He's tongue.

The Huo Party in Chang'an is easy to identify, but there is no accurate statement on how many Huo Dang there are among the county and state guards in the world.

The county and state guards with a rank of 2,000 stones are already well-known figures in the Han Dynasty and the opposition, and all of them add up, and there are only more than 100 people.

But they seem to be prominent, but they are not worth mentioning in the history books, and they don't even have the opportunity to "pass together" in the history books.

Therefore, Liu He didn't know which of them were Huo Dang, and which ones were just promoted by Huo Guang.

If you are not careful, you will kill by mistake, or even indiscriminately.

"Those who are suspected of Huo Dang should be recorded first, but they still have to act impartially, and there is no need to make extraneous troubles for the time being."

"In addition, when you complete the plan of this report, you can also make a secret visit in Chang'an City and find out the Huo Party in Chang'an City in case of accidents."

If you want to catch them all, you must first find them one by one.

Only in this way can we win in one fell swoop when the thunder strikes.

"No." The two hurriedly agreed.

Immediately, Liu He personally drafted an edict, appointing Wei Xiang as the Imperial Shi Zhongcheng, and Xiao Wangzhi as the Imperial Shi Cheng, and at the same time adding the internal official position of the Zhongzhong Chang Servant.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng and Yu Shi Cheng are actually the deputies of the Yu Shi Dafu, but they have their own responsibilities and are very independent.

The imperial historian Cai Yi is old, and he has to be responsible for sorting out the letters from the subjects of the world to the Son of Heaven, and his energy is already low, and the power and responsibility of the imperial historian and the imperial historian will be greater.

In the Imperial History, Cheng was the secretary of the Atlas, supervised the thirteen assassins, and was responsible for accepting the functions of the minister; And the Imperial Historian is responsible for the impeachment of hundreds of officials and the management of the affairs of the Imperial Mansion.

It should have been the duty of the prime minister to report to the county and the state, but now that Ren Gong is "sick", he naturally can't take on this matter anymore.

The Imperial Historian is the Prime Minister's "Zuo Erguan", and he has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, so letting the Imperial Historian's Mansion take over this matter is also in line with the system.

Now, there is neither a big or small court discussion, nor Huo Guang's hindrance in the Shangshu Department, Liu He has actually mastered some of the personnel appointment and dismissal rights in the court.

Liu He wanted to seize this time and arrange some courtiers who could be trusted to more important positions.

Gong Sui, Wang Ji and others have all added the official position of the inner court of the Zhongchang Servant, and they can walk freely in Weiyang Palace.

Xue Timid is still a servant, but the servant is old and has been set aside.

Chen Xiu, the edict of prison, has also been "turned positive", and he has become a prison edict and controls the entire edict.

Zhang Wuji, who was borrowed from An Le's subordinates, was promoted from the Weiwei Temple to the Marquis of Weiyang Guard, and led the sword halberd to inspect the southern part of Weiyang Palace.

Coupled with the two people appointed today, there are more and more people Liu He can trust in the court.

This is the "strength" that Liu He has accumulated for the next round of fighting.

"Wei Qing, the rank of Henan Taishou was originally two thousand stones, and the rank of Zhongcheng in the imperial history is only one thousand stones, I have wronged you." Liu He said with a smile.

"Your Majesty's words make Weichen embarrassed, no matter what official or position, it is for the world, how can he be dissatisfied with Dou Shenglu?" Wei Xiang said with some trepidation.

"Eh, you can't say that, this is less than half, and the wives and children in the family are afraid that they will be cold, so your rank remains the same, and it is still two thousand stones." Liu He said.

Wei Xiang knew that the Son of Heaven was the most sympathetic, but he didn't expect to take such small things into account, and hurriedly thanked him.

Then, Liu He explained to the two of them the details of the county's plan and plan for Pingling County, and then asked them to bring the edict to the Shangshu Office for sealing.

……

Wei Xiang and Xiao Wangzhi retreated from the greenhouse hall, and a messenger led them towards the Shang Shu Bureau.

They were silent all the way, but their hearts were surging.

As far as the eye can see, the autumn mood of the entire Weiyang Palace is a little stronger, and the leaves of all the trees have fallen, and it looks lifeless.

A month ago, some lone geese flying south could be seen in the sky from time to time, but at this time, there was not a single bird in the blue and white sky.

Only occasionally can I see the "quack" cries of some faint crows between the branches of the trees, which are unpleasant and terrible.

But I don't know why, Wei Xiang and Xiao Wangzhi, who saw this scene, felt warm in their hearts, and seemed to have seen a little new green on the dry branches.

They didn't know that if the Son of Heaven and them walked here, they would definitely chant two lines of poetry - a thousand sails on the side of the sinking boat, and ten thousand trees in front of the sick tree.

……

When the confessor led them to the gate of Shaofu Temple, he hurriedly bowed and left.

And Wei Xiang and Xiao Wangzhi didn't walk into the courtyard, they looked at the subordinate officials who came and went, they all felt a little feverish, and they all took a deep breath.

The cold, dry, and chilly cold rushed to their nostrils, causing the two of them to sneeze fiercely.

Seeing each other's embarrassed appearance, the two looked at each other and smiled. And this light smile quickly turned into a big laugh.

Life is like this, and meeting the Son of Heaven today may completely change their fate.

Worshipping the prime minister, dying and annihilating the clan, it is no longer important in their hearts.

Whether or not you can leave a strong mark on the history books with the Son of Heaven is a higher luxury - the pursuit of leaving a name in history is not an unspeakable thing.

"Changqian, what kind of person do you think the county official is?" Wei Xiang asked.

"The county officials are Mingjun, Renjun, and Shengjun." Xiao Wangzhi's answer was short and decisive.

"Changqian is a wonderful use of these three words, but I thought that I was afraid that it would be a gentleman through the ages." Wei Xiang sighed.

Compared with Xiao Wangzhi, Wei Xiang is a few years older, and he looks at people more "vicious".

He saw something familiar and something strange in the body of the Son of Heaven.

What is familiar is naturally the imperial spirit of the ancestors of the past dynasties, but what is unfamiliar is a kind of compassion for the people of the world.

In Wei Xiang's heart, the latter is even more valuable.

"Gong Wei, what are you thinking?" Xiao Wangzhi asked.

"Hehe, I'm thinking about what kind of road he will take the big man after he uproots Huo Dang from the court as a county official?" Wei Xiang said.

"Did Gong Wei figure it out?" Xiao Wangzhi said with a smile.

"Hahaha, I can't think of it here, but I think the big man at that time must be completely different from the big man today."

"Duke Wei is far-sighted, and the lower officials are ashamed of themselves."

"Let's go, go and seal first, and then I'll go to the Imperial Doctor's Mansion to take office."

"Yui!"

……

When Wei Xiang and Xiao Wangzhi walked into the courtyard gate of Shaofu, Gong Yu also walked into the greenhouse hall.

On that night three years ago, when Liu He came to this world to become the king of Changyi, many names appeared repeatedly in his mind.

Huo Guang, Liu Aiji, Bingji, Zhang Anshi, Liu De, Wei Xiang, Zhao Chongguo, Xiao Wangzhi...... The names kept swirling in his mind, sometimes weaving a web, sometimes scattering into a spark in the sky.

Among these many names, the most dazzling is Gong Yu.

Because from the perspective of thinking, Gong Yu's way of thinking may be the closest to Liu He.

In the greenhouse hall, Liu He saw Gong Yu, he didn't expect that Dahan, an "economist", would be such a simple appearance - but a bit like that Tian Yannian.

Yes, economist, Liu He searched for such a word from the depths of his mind, strange and familiar, and incompatible with this world.

Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there are only two people who can be called economists, one is Sang Hongyang and the other is Gong Yu.

The former has become a dry bone in the mound in the south of the city, and the latter is still unknown.

A long time ago, when Liu He read the history books of later generations, he knew that Gong Yu had a lot of shocking opinions.

Because these insights are too advanced, they are not in line with the current situation of the Han Empire, and it is even more unrealistic to want to promote them.

But with a little guidance and improvement, it is possible to achieve unexpected results.

In addition to Yu Wuwu and their Lang officials, the one who can understand Liu He's thoughts the most is probably this Gong Yu.

And Gong Yu has more experience in local polishing than Yu Wuwu and others, so he can help Liu He even more.

Therefore, Liu He is of course excited today.

After the courtesy, Liu He did not beat around the bush, and directly talked to Gong Yu about two topics of interest to both parties.

One is money, and the other is people.

"Gongqing, I am quite interested in the matter of goods and trade, and I want you to come here today just to sit down with you and have a discussion."

The first sentence of the Son of Heaven surprised Gong Yu.

Confucianism is based on agriculture, and the business of breeding and buying goods is only a small end, and it will be ridiculed by the world. He didn't expect the Son of Heaven to talk about this matter generously.

Moreover, how did the Son of Heaven know that he was quite obsessed with the matter of goods breeding?

There were doubts in his heart, but Gong Yu still hurriedly resigned: "Weichen doesn't dare!" ”

"In the past, Emperor Xiaowen asked Jia Yi about politics in the Xuanshu Palace, leaving a good name, and Gongqing today is only regarded as the good name of Corporal Cheng Lixian, how about it?" Liu He asked with a smile.

The Son of Heaven has already said that he has reached this step, so what reason is there to refuse.

"The first thing I want to discuss with you today is this." Liu He said, smiled mysteriously, and reached out to put an object on the case.

When Liu He's hand was removed, there was a new five-baht coin on the case.

Gong Yu's eyes lit up, the Son of Heaven was really a god, and he actually knew what he was thinking.

"Gongqing, what do you think of this thing?" Liu He asked with a smile.

"Does Your Majesty ask about the five beads, or about all the money in the world?" Gong Yu asked rhetorically, there was no longer timidity.

"Then I'll ask for the five beads first." Liu He asked.

"Your Majesty forgives Weichen for his courage, and Weichen will speak freely." Gong Yu's hips and legs couldn't help but leave his heels, and his body bent forward.

This is what a person looks like when they talk about a topic that interests them.

"The implementation of five-bead money is the biggest good deed during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu."

Gong Yu said, just like a few treasures listed the "goodness" of the five beads one by one.

In the decades from the Great Qin Dynasty to the early Han Dynasty, the common thing in the world was half a tael (12 baht), not only the central court could mint money, but also the wealthy people could also mint money.

The weight of the copper is used as a measure of value, which is very fair and reasonable. The key is to keep the weight of half a tael at all times.

However, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, whether it is the central court, local princes, or private wealthy, the weight of the half tael coin cast is getting lighter and lighter.

After all, the money is marked with "half a tael", and it can be used as a "half tael", so it is not so important whether the weight of half a tael of copper is used or not.

By the time of Emperor Xiaowen, some private coins minted by the people weighed less than one baht - only one-twelfth of the original half taels.

Because this kind of half-tael is as light and thin as an elm pod, it is also nicknamed "elm pod half tael" by the people.

The weight reduction of half a tael is only superficial, but in fact, it is a lot of damage.

Because less than "half a tael" of money can be exchanged for goods worth "half a tael", then minting money has become an empty glove white wolf business.

Minting inferior half-taels of money has become a way for those princes and kings who have the ability to mint money, and the rich families to exploit the people's heads.

The princes and kings and the rich families are getting richer and richer, but the people are miserable.

And the people's heads naturally will not sit still, so they came up with a way to cut the corners of half a tael to "pluck the goose".

The two folds were added, which further accelerated the complete collapse of the half-tael.

What's more serious is that the local princes and kings have grabbed a lot of wealth and hoarded huge amounts of money by privately minting money, and they have the capital to compete with the central court.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties were quite concerned about the minting of coins and took many measures.

However, because of the national policy of ruling by inaction, and the prohibition of the minting of money by the county and the people, all the measures were only to stop the boiling and failed to reverse the situation.

After Emperor Xiaowu ascended the throne, a total of six changes in the numismatic system were carried out.

Abolish the three-baht coin, which is similar to half a tael coin, implement the five-baht coin, promulgate the "Death Penalty Decree for Those Who Privately Mint Money in the County and Citizens", and confiscate the inferior five-baht money privately minted by the county.

And the implementation of the five-baht money is the top priority.

In terms of shape, the five-baht coin maintains the appearance of half a tael outside the circle and the inside square, and adds a perimeter, which eliminates the possibility of folk shearing - once cut, it is easy to identify.

Under these measures, the value of the coins of the Han Empire finally stabilized, and the common people were less squeezed by the rich and powerful.

The right to mint coins was fully vested in the Shui Heng Duwei under the jurisdiction of the central court, so that all the benefits brought by the coinage could be owned by the Son of Heaven, which greatly strengthened the imperial power.

"The promulgation of the five-baht coin can prevent bad money from running rampant; The resumption of the right to mint money from the people can avoid the exploitation of the people's heads. ”

"Therefore, the implementation of the five-baht coin is a matter that will benefit the present and the future."

I don't dare to say it in Qianqiu, but the five-baht coin has been used until the early years of the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years later, and it is affordable to stand in the millennium.

"Well, Gong Qing's remarks are the same as what I think in my heart, so now, I want to hear Gong Qing's opinion on this 'money' again."

This "money" is not five baht money, but all the "money" in the world.

When Gong Yu heard this question, he seemed to have some thoughts, he didn't know why the Son of Heaven would ask this question.

Because he had a terrible thought in his heart, and if he said it, he would be called crazy by the world.

This is a little plot that paves the way for the back, and the main line begins to pull off later!
