Chapter 322: Sima Rui's Death

Liu Tai discussed with Chu Yi, Wen Qiao and others, and Chu Yi began to arrange the relevant decrees.

First of all, he took a walk in Qingzhou and Yecheng to correspond to the news, that is, after Liu Tai captured Luoyang, he began to plan to move the capital to Luoyang.

Of course, it was just a simple news circulation, as well as the registration of people who wanted to go to Luoyang.

As for why the people of Qingzhou and Yecheng are given priority, especially the people of Qingzhou, the most important thing is that the people have a high degree of recognition of Liu Tai.

Needless to say, the people of Qingzhou naturally have settled down since Liu Tai arrived in Qingzhou, and Liu Tai attaches great importance to the development of economy and productive forces, which can be said to have brought earth-shaking changes to Qingzhou, and the recognition of Liu Tai by the people of Qingzhou is naturally high.

As for the people of Yecheng, with Liu Tai's expedition, they enjoyed the location advantage enjoyed as a governing office.

Not to mention, with the smooth construction of the Yongji Canal, the ships coming and going can bring a lot of benefits to the people of Yecheng.

For example, the spare ox carts and carriages at home are taken out to pull goods for the business travelers passing through Luoyang.

Now, Liu Tai actually has the idea of moving the capital, although Liu Tai said that the people can move to Luoyang together, but really speaking, now the people are making a lot of money locally, and a few people are willing to sign up to go to Luoyang!

And this kind of is just gossip, at least the imperial court has not really ordered it, who dares to press all the resources up, it can only be said that compared to the small people, it is the family of Yecheng that has begun to lay out.

First of all, the families of Fanyang Lu, Qinghe Cui, Bohai Gao, etc., began to frequently come to investigate the news, and hoped that Liu Tai would not move the capital, so that Liu Tai would stay in Yecheng, which was naturally the best.

For these families, although Liu Tai treats them harshly, they are not without gains in Liu Tai.

After all, Liu Tai has some restrictions on the family in terms of power, but if the family develops business, or thinks of any way to increase wealth, Liu Tai will not stop it.

It's just that they make too much money, so just write a tax and let Gou Chun check it in a targeted manner.

Therefore, with the development of the overall productive forces of society, and the unification of the whole north, their size and wealth are constantly accumulating, but the accumulation of this wealth cannot give them any sense of security.

After all, this era is not an era in which capital is king, but an era of feudal autocracy.

For the family, if there is no one in the court, no matter how much money is earned, they will not be able to have a little sense of security.

But it is not easy for the family to enter the institutional system created by Liu Tai.

For the world, even if it does not occupy a key position, as long as you enter the middle level and have the right to protect the family's wealth.

But the problem is that the rules are the family's dependence, and what the family is good at is using the rules, infiltrating the rules, mastering the rules, and even making the rules themselves, which takes a long time to penetrate, not to mention in years.

But in a chaotic situation where it is necessary to rely on hard power to fight a decisive battle, no matter how large the size of the family is, it cannot play the role that it should have from its size.

Now in the troubled times, Liu Tai's grasp of military power is unbelievably strong, and he sounds very majestic as a family, but it is impossible to affect the strategy formulated by Liu Tai.

Even if he really affects Liu Tai's strategy, then the head of the family will have to consider hanging himself that night, so will Liu Tai let his family go.

After all, although Liu Tai is a reasonable guy, Liu Tai is really ruthless, and the ten clans of Shile have all been killed.

Shi Le's own relatives are also counted, even the righteous son recognized by Shi Le is considered to be the tenth family, and the whole family is killed.

So these Hebei families didn't dare to protest directly, after all, Liu Tai was a guy who was killed from the sea of corpses and blood, how could he ignore your weak and powerless protest, and maybe even think that you were noisy and directly killed the protesting guy.

But they began to run towards Liu Tai's ministers, and they immediately ran diligently.

After all, as long as these families want to find relatives, they can always find them, not to mention that Liu Tai's high-level ministers are basically from families.

Even Liu Tai can't avoid this, because the intellectuals of this era are either from families or from poor families, and there is no other possibility.

For Chu Yi and others, it was naturally impossible to tell them the answer directly, but it more or less revealed their decision to support their relocation to Luoyang.

As for the family, as long as Liu Tai's ministers show this gesture of support, then they feel that they are losing their money.

There is no way, the last thing the family lacks is money and food, and these copper-smelling things are so many that they don't know how to use them.

Therefore, those who are ruthless directly migrate the entire family to Luoyang, and of course, those who are soft-minded will choose one of their sons to directly move a branch to the past and bet on the future of their own family.

Because for the family, as long as they are conscious, it is not a problem to spend a hundred years infiltrating the rules formulated by Liu Tai.

This is the biggest difference between the wealthy family and the common people, the wealth and heritage accumulated by the wealthy family are indeed rich, but the most valuable thing is the vision that knowledge brings to them.

Because they know that if Liu Tai really has a chance to unify the world, it is almost inevitable to move the capital to Luoyang or Chang'an.

After all, the phrase "still in the old capital" almost has an unparalleled appeal for the Han Dynasty, a descendant of Liu Bang, and then appear in the land of the north, even if it has been a hundred years of sinking, but compared to the Jin Dynasty, the appeal of the Han to the people can be said to be terrifyingly strong, especially for the family that has been bullied by foreign races.

Therefore, these wealthy families know that as long as Liu Tai wins sooner or later, then Liu Tai will inevitably move to Chang'an or Luoyang, and all they can do is to take advantage of the policy.

Don't look down on such a pioneer, the so-called family is originally like this, slowly growing or accumulating in the accumulation of first moves in the rules.

Every decision you make may not be the right one, but the choice you make will be at least suboptimal.

This little bit of accumulation is difficult for the people at the bottom to come up by relying on their own hard work.

Because for the people at the bottom, the accumulation of this life is often only the cost of trial and error, which is completely inferior to the people at the bottom.

In troubled times, if you can win all the way and win, then you can also treat the family as a dog, because the family is a creature of rules, and you are the one who makes the rules.

However, for Liu Tai, the family's disturbances were left to Yang Man to solve, and it didn't matter to him whether he chose to go to Luoyang or stay in Yecheng.

Because what he wants is just to dispatch his resources in Hebei to Luoyang, and other things are just trivial matters for Liu Tai.

And with Cao Wei's departure, Liu Tai immediately found Wang Bo, and after Wang Bo saluted, Liu Tai said, "You have heard about the fact that the imperial court is going to move the capital to Luoyang these days!" ”

Wang Bo heard Liu Tai's words, but he hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty has heard a little!" ”

"The matter of moving the capital, the court has not yet reached a conclusion, so they will release the wind to see the direction of the people!" Liu Tai shook his head, and then said, "And the recent summoning of you is also related to this matter!" ”

"Please also ask the king to command!" When Wang Bo heard Liu Tai's words, he immediately saluted Liu Tai.

Liu Tai was not polite and said directly to Wang Bo, "Cao Changshi is good at engineering, but now he can't get away from building roads in the Central Plains, and you are the best at river repair under him, so you need to open up the waterway canal between Luoyang and Xingyang."

To put it simply, it is to divert Luoshui east into the Yellow River, and then divert the Yellow River water to Xingyang today. ”

Wang Bo heard Liu Tai's words thoughtfully, and then said to Liu Tai, "Please also ask the king to allow me to go to Zhengzhou in Luoyang for an on-the-spot assessment, and then please answer to the king." ”

"That's the attitude to do things!" Liu Tai heard Wang Bo's words and said: "But you remember, if you dredge the canal, use more old canals, such as the Kaiyang Canal opened by Zhang Chun in the Eastern Han Dynasty, or the existing rivers such as Gushui and Luoshui.

All in all, try to find a way to open up the water conservancy facilities from Luoyang to Xingyang. ”

Wang Bo understood when he heard Liu Tai's words, and then went down and began to prepare.

To tell the truth, Liu Tai has been as careful as possible in building these canal projects, giving money and food to the people, but not squeezing them hard, so as to reduce the people's resentment in building the canal.

After all, he is not like Yang Guang who has the accumulation left by Yang Jian to toss hard, from the level of almost the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty to the collapse of the country, Yang Guang is also unique in the loser, and there are very few people who can surpass Yang Guang throughout the ages.

And as Liu Tai ordered these things intermittently, it was basically spring ploughing.

Spring ploughing is imminent, and it is starting to become busy both north of the Yellow River, and even more so in the Central Plains south of the Yellow River.

However, this time, the people north of the Yellow River soon discovered the advantages of Liu Tai's rule, that is, the military history and the government soldiers were all working, and it also brought a new type of farming north of the Yellow River.

The steel forged from the coal and steel yards became a variety of iron farm tools to be leased to these people, and Liu Tai also divided a batch of cattle provided by Youzhou Animal Husbandry to the newly subdued states, so that the people could cultivate a few more fields during spring ploughing, so as to survive.

And the most lively people in the entire Central Plains at the moment are actually not the people who are being cultivated.

Relatively speaking, the road maintenance that has been started is constantly absorbing the ordinary people who have no houses and no property around them, and only have one strength, so that they can put their energy into moving bricks, so as to continuously absorb the strength of the surroundings.

Especially those beggar soldiers who were screened, but were not selected by the government soldiers and did not return to the north.

After all, even Liu Tai's government soldier system has an age limit.

Generally speaking, after the age of thirty, the physical fitness of the soldiers is no longer at their peak, and they basically begin to retire, and those who are less than the level of Qu Chang at the age of thirty-five are basically gone.

After all, what I want is the elite selected layer by layer, not the old veteran.

Not to mention that after entering the government military system, you also have to learn history and mathematics, which is really not something that an older veteran with no foundation can easily adapt to.

But these soldiers after the age of thirty are not valued by Liu Tai, but some of them do have quite rich experience in killing people and can be regarded as pure veterans.

It is impossible for Liu Tai to ignore all of them, and even let them not even have the right to eat a full meal, so they may run to the Jin court again.

But they were not selected by the military system, but their experience has always told Liu Tai that these guys are all congenital civil and engineering holy bodies, they are the most hard-working, do the most work, with the simple desire to save money to buy a house and get a daughter-in-law, one by one under Cao Wei's hands, even if they are carrying bricks, their faces are full of smiles at this moment.

After all, they knew that when they started working here, they would have enough to live on.

They have expectations for their bright future, which has led to a decline in the Central Plains due to war-torn unrest at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

For the vast majority of the people, as long as they survive, they don't care who they mess with.

Moreover, after they become defeated, they either occupy the mountain as the king or the victim, and the grassroots government soldiers can also quickly organize and deal with it, making it difficult for them to succeed even if they want to loot small villages, which makes them very painful.

After all, bandits and bandits also have to eat, and you don't see how desperate Song Jiang is to eat an iron rice bowl in order to take refuge in the establishment.

And when they couldn't grab food and couldn't survive, they basically smeared their faces with dust, and decisively took refuge in Cao Wei's men to move bricks.

Because the bricks moved here are covered with food and shelter, and even those who move bricks can re-edit and make a book, from a homeless person with no identity to a civilian with an innocent background, which is better than going back to the mountains to be hungry and full.

Therefore, only this kind of large-scale project can open the way to absorb the local surrounding labor force as quickly as possible, so that the several states in the Central Plains that have just been taken down by Liu Tai can begin to restore stability at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And this speed of recovery was only north of the Yellow River, when the world was in turmoil, and no one felt anything.

But now, the turmoil caused by the Wangdun Rebellion last year has reached a certain degree of balance at the top, which has made the political situation of the Jin court relatively stable, but the chaos caused by the war at the bottom has not been eliminated until now.

After all, in the first place, the sword soldiers were mobilized, and the defeated soldiers fled in all directions, basically occupying the mountain as the king, being a bandit and bandit, and the vast majority of people were waiting for Sima Rui to die.

Because after Sima Rui's death, the new emperor ascended the throne, he would basically give amnesty to the world, and then whether it was a deserter or a rogue, he could basically go home.

And Sima Rui was just as everyone expected, just after the New Year, his body couldn't support it, and he died of grief.
