In this way, 600,000 soldiers and their families were transformed into a new ruling class.

This class is not only the ballast stone at the beginning of the Han Empire, but also the humanistic foundation for the world order to change from chaos to order, and continues the century-old foundation of the old Liu family.

Everyone carefully touched the deep meaning of Liu Ji's move and couldn't help but admire it deeply.

Before everyone could digest the news, Liu Ji followed up and said,

"This third thing is related to Lou Jing. Lou Jing, is Lou Jing here? ”

When Lou Jing heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and straightened out his scarf, and went out of the ranks, feeling uneasy in his heart, waiting for the emperor's fate.

"As for the matter of moving the capital, I have made up my mind, so I will follow Lou Jing's suggestion to build a new capital in the south of Weishui in Guanzhong, on the side of Longshou Mountain, and the name will be Chang'an.

This matter is fully presided over by Xiao He, and we will move from Luoyang within three years.

Time is urgent, financial resources are limited, Xiao He, you can start with the palace first, so that we can have a place to rest at that time. ”

Xiao He got up from the wooden table and answered yes.

Liu Ji looked at Lou Jing who was lying on the ground again, his eyes fell on the scarf on his head, thoughtfully,

"You, as a small soldier, can have such a vision and strategy, and dare to make bold suggestions, no one here is as good as you.

In this way, don't go to the border of Longxi, look at your weak body, in the place of Longxi, you can't live for ten years.

Staying by my side and being a Langzhong with your heart is more useful than going to the border. ”

"Yes, the minister obeys." Lou Jing kowtowed respectfully, and was about to get up, when he suddenly heard the emperor say,

"Your surname is Lou, and it sounds a little similar to Liu. You helped the old Liu family to set the capital of eternity, I not only want you to be an official, but also reward you with great glory.

From now on, you will be the same as me, surnamed Liu. ”

The audience was in an uproar, and it was okay to worship Langzhong, the emperor's surname was a unique honor in the world, Lou Jing, who ascended to the sky in one step, no, Liu Jing's voice trembled excitedly, and he knocked his head a few times in a row.

Liu Ji waved his sleeves,

"Liu Jing, get up. Seeing that it's getting late, you can accompany me to eat some sūn. ”

***

As soon as the words fell, I saw several palace maids in costume bring out a round wooden case with gold flowers and cloud patterns, and placed them in front of the wooden tables made by each person.

There are several large and small copper ear cups on the table, and under a closer look, there are fried fish, there are boiled mutton pieces, chicken cooked in pepper sauce, and a few dough cakes, which are fragrant and fragrant, making people's appetite move.

Liu Ji picked up a hot dough cake casually, and it seemed to be pouring between his left and right hands, and glanced at the banquet again.

"Zhang Cang, did you rush back to Luoyang on your own?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister has rushed back last night."

A young man with a shiny white face answered from a short distance from the hall, and then leaned out half of his body.

Rao is everyone was kneeling and sitting, just looking at his upper body, it could be seen that this person named Zhang Cang was much taller than the others, and he looked close to nine feet.

Liu Ji looked at Zhang Cang's face carefully, pointed at him with the bread in his hand, and laughed,

"In the past few years, you have presided over the defense in the Daidi and Yanmen areas, and you have drunk the north wind for three or four years, and you have been exposed to the sun and rain, why haven't you turned black, or is it frighteningly white?"

Before Zhang Cang could answer, Wang Ling, who was sitting on the other side, was too familiar with him, so he couldn't help but stroke his beard and interjected,

"Your Majesty, this kid Zhang Cang stays at home all day long, even in Daibei, eighty percent is stuffy indoors.

No matter how big the sun is, how can he get it? ”

When Zhang Cang heard this, he turned his head and bowed to Wang Ling, and replied loudly,

An Guohou's words are extremely true.

In addition to official duties, the younger brother has been compiling all his leisure work in recent years to edit the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and now he has completed the chapter of decay, and is sorting out the two sections of business merit and average loss. ”

Zhang Cang is tall and chic, hearty and clear, like a lone pine independent, in a group of reckless heroes, it seems to stand out from the crowd, quite out of place.

The bold Wang Ling didn't understand a word of what he said, and only vaguely remembered that the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" was a pre-Qin testament.

Wang Ling has long been surprised by Zhang Cang's restrained personality, since the day he was rescued under the butcher's knife.

***

If you talk about the fame before entering the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that in addition to Zhang Liang, a noble descendant of the fifth Xianghan, Zhang Cang can be regarded as one of the best young people with a good background.

He is extremely smart, he has been good at reading since he was a child, and he has learned everything and knows everything in the hundred schools of thought, yin and yang, and strange arts, especially good at legal calendar and arithmetic.

Others pondered and meditated for several days to solve the big and small problems, but he only swept them away, rolled his eyes a few times, and he could report the answers casually, and there were no mistakes.

With these outstanding qualities, the teenage Zhang Cang entered Qin early, and ascended to the sky in one step, becoming the history of Qin Shi Huang's side.

Zhuxia Shi, also another name for the imperial history, wandered in the Xianyang Forbidden Palace all day long, standing on the side of Qin Shi Huang at any time, recording the emperor's words and deeds, and responsible for managing court documents.

Since Jing Ke's assassination attempt, the first emperor has become increasingly wary of the attendant officials around him, and the young prodigy Zhang Cang has been able to occupy an important position and accompany him.

And Li Si's strong recommendation stems from the affection of the teacher.

Because, Li Si and Zhang Cang both studied under Xunzi, a master of the three Jixia Xuegong wine sacrifices, and practiced the emperor dragon slaying technique of "punishment and etiquette are used for each other".

Later, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world fell apart, Li Si died in the waist, Zhang Cang abandoned the official and fled, and returned to his hometown Yangwu County.

Before the execution, according to the rules, the prisoners need to take off their shirts and verify their identity, and the prison officer Wang Ling was deeply shocked by Zhang Cang's tall and fair appearance, and was shocked by the strangeness, and immediately decided to keep people under the knife.

Later, after learning about Zhang Cang's background and talent, Liu Ji, the king of Han, pardoned him, and Zhang Cang turned to follow the king of Han, and actually achieved the position of Changshan County Guard step by step, responsible for the guard of the northern Daidi directly bordering the Xiongnu.

***

Liu Ji didn't understand the arithmetic questions he muttered in his mouth, so he just waved his hand.

"Originally, I summoned you, thinking that I would make the best use of your talents, let you be the mastermind, assist Xiao Xiangguo, and work together to complete the first county plan in October this year, and thoroughly find out the family background of each county and the vassal state.

But now, I have changed my mind, you will rest for two days, and after a while, you will go back to Zhao with Zhang Aotong.

In the future, the imperial court will send a prime minister to each prince and king, and the first one to be sent out is you.

I have already greeted him, and you will work with those old courtiers of Zhang Er, the king of Xianjing, to assist him in sorting out the internal affairs of the Zhao Kingdom.

Zhao Di is less quiet, you can continue to calculate that arithmetic, no one will disturb you. ”

Liu Ji's words were careless, but the old courtiers who followed him all the year round knew that the more important the matter, the more the emperor would lightly mention it.

Zhang Cang, who was preparing for the position of "Minister", was a little surprised, but when he connected with the strange behavior of Yan Wang Zang Di, he instantly understood the emperor's deep meaning-

What is going to continue to study arithmetic, Your Majesty said it lightly, I am afraid that at that time, once King Yan makes a mess, he will make a Dinghai Divine Needle in Zhao Di, monitor King Zhao, and defend one side.

He understood, but he answered, said no more, bowed his head and concentrated on eating.

The three things have been discussed, after the banquet is over, everyone disperses in turn, Liu Jing hesitated and dragged it to the end, seeing that Liu Ji was going to turn back to the inner room to rest, he hurried a few steps and whispered,

"In addition to moving the capital, the minister still has a plan to take precautions and want to dedicate it to His Majesty."

"Plan ahead? What is it about? ”

"It's about the Xiongnu, and like moving the capital, it's also about the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

"Oh? Tell me about it? ”

Liu Jing glanced around left and right, and saw that there were no outsiders here, so he said word by word,

"I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard of the 'harmony' scheme?"
