At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Guo Jin bowed his head and remained silent.

"It's okay. You did a good job in this first test. From now on, my father will try my best to give you more opportunities to practice and let you do more things. You also need to grow yourself better. Come on, like this time, you did a good job by letting Ah Jun hide her identity as your subordinate officer."

Guo Peng raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Guo Jin.

Guo Jin blinked, looked at Guo Peng, and then averted her eyes.

"Father, son..."

"I told you for my father, you did a good job."

Guo Peng commented positively on this matter: "It not only complied with the needs of brothers, maintained the friendship between brothers, but also safeguarded your interests to the greatest extent, and did not let Ah Jun share your power, your subordinates, this is the right way.

If you were a father, you would not do better than you. Power is something you cannot give up. Prestige is an important part of power. What you do not only maintains your power and prestige, but also takes care of Ah. What's wrong with Jun's mind? "

Having said that, he sighed slightly.

"Father knows that you are concerned about your brother's identity, and your father's and your mother's views, so you must be a little embarrassed about this matter, but you quickly made a decision and thought of a solution. Before you came back, you calmed down brother's emotions, you did a good job."

"It's best if the father doesn't blame the son."

Guo Jin lowered his head.

"Why do you blame you? You are the crown prince, you are the heir to your father, this power can only be held by you, not your other brothers, you are doing the right thing, you can't let any of your brothers lose prestige and power Get over you, this is what you have to do.

Whether he is your first-milk brother or other brothers, this is something you must do. You must first stabilize your status and power, and then consider the situation of your brothers. In that case You thought of this method, which already surprised my father a little. "

Guo Peng touched the back of Guo Jin's head.

"really?"

Guo Jin looked at Guo Peng expectantly.

"Of course, I'm very happy for my father, you can have such means."

Guo Peng said with a smile: "Your actions have also inspired me as a father. Your brothers will not be content to stay in the harem and grow up among women as they grow up. Some thoughts are unavoidable. This At the same time, you must maintain your status and take into account their mood.

After all, the father is also a father, not only an emperor, but also worried that his sons will not be able to become talents when they grow up, and become waste, who only know how to eat but don't know where the food comes from. Such waste, the father will never allow to appear in the royal family .

So we decided to arrange them, hide their names, change their appearance a little, let them live outside the palace, live in the outer city of Luoyang, join the court as someone else, start as a small official, and gradually temper their abilities ability. "

"This...Father, let them live in the outer city of Luoyang?"

Guo Jin was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect Guo Peng to make such a decision.

Chapter 1132 The establishment of Mozhou

Guo Jin was quite surprised when he heard that Guo Peng had arranged for Guo Jun to live alone in the outer city of Luoyang.

He didn't expect Guo Peng to do this, and he didn't know the purpose of doing it.

"Well, Ah Jun has been arranged by her father to live in the outer city, and together with a group of small officials who have just entered Beijing, use the identity of Yanzhou official [Zhao Yong]."

"Is this a little dangerous? After all, he is the prince."

Guo Jin was a little worried.

"It's not dangerous, what kind of danger is this? Inside Luoyang City, not outside Luoyang City."

Guo Peng shook his head: "Living with a group of junior officials who have just entered Luoyang City, to experience what they really think, to experience the process of being promoted from scratch, this is definitely a thing for them. Good thing."

"I see."

Guo Jin stopped talking, and seemed to have a little more understanding of Guo Peng's thoughts.

Guo Peng thought about it, and felt that there were some things that he needed to explain clearly to Guo Jin.

I shouldn't hide my thoughts from him. He is an adult and a man. He can have his own views and understanding on some things. As a father, he should trust him more.

So Guo Peng told Guo Jin some arrangements for the children from now on.

For example, the limit of the empire he envisioned, and the idea of ​​feuding states and establishing a country beyond the extreme wall of the empire.

Guo Jin was very shocked. He didn't know that his father had such far-reaching plans and visions, and had such clear visions for the future of the country and their brothers.

The size of the world, the extreme wall of the empire, the feudal state, the foreign country, etc., countless new terms and ideas got into Guo Jin's mind, and there was a burst of churning in his head, making him dizzy I don't know what to say.

Obviously, he needs a longer time to absorb and understand Guo Peng's thoughts.

"This is the general idea of ​​my father. If you have any ideas, you can also mention them. My father hopes that each of you brothers can have their own way out, and you can also spread my Chinese culture overseas. The overseas land is infinitely vast. There are countless fertile soils waiting for you to discover."

Guo Peng stood up and pointed to the south of Luoyang, that distant place.

"Don't limit your vision to China. Outside of China, there are countless lands, and there are many more people with different customs, languages, cultures, and cultures. What we know now is just a drop in the ocean, and we are just frogs in a well." .

Go out, look around the world, see a wider world, discover broader wealth, don't stick to the land of China, don't stick to the grain grown on the land of China, go out, go east, west, south , go north, get out! "

Guo Jin looked at his father who was walking quickly to the gate of Fengtian Hall and giving guidance to the vast night, and he felt that there seemed to be something extra in his heart.

Guo Peng didn't let Guo Jin just dream, but gave Guo Jin the whole map of the world that he had spent many years secretly drawn by the Linzi Camp.

This is the general map of the world that he has barely recalled based on broken memories in the past few years after he proclaimed himself emperor.

The specific appearance of several continents and oceans, some familiar terrains, familiar land masses, large islands and the like.

In addition, he took the time to describe and mark the places of origin of the products that he remembers deeply, or the areas with fertile soil, strategic locations, etc., and then handed them over to the drawing team of Linziying for little by little. Finish.

Now that it has been basically completed, give this picture to Guo Jin to open his vision and let him no longer limit his vision to this three-acre land.

Let him know where China is, and how limited it is compared with the whole world.

At the same time, tell him the concept of the extreme wall of the empire, let him know the advantages and disadvantages of the enfeoffment system and the feudal system, and let him know how to break the situation if you don't want to cause brothers to kill each other in the future.

Reshape the worldview for him.

The world view is very important. Get out of the shackles of the sky and the earth, get out of the geographical concept in the world, reshape a real concept of continents and oceans, and know where you are and what is around you.

The broad vision determines the height of the policy.

And this is exactly what human beings did not have before the era of great geographical discovery.

It is just a map, but it is the crystallization of human wisdom for thousands of years. It is the beginning of a person's world concept and the inspiration of the most primitive world view.

Human courage, wisdom, and persistence, including greed, are all condensed on such a map.

Knowing the size of the world and not knowing the size of the world are two completely different concepts.

Outside of China, there is the world, and the world is so big that it is unimaginable.

So, go out, all go out, get out of this fertile land, and open up a new, equally fertile land.

From the very beginning, you need to know what is beyond China, and what position your place is in the world, and then go out.

The best way to get out of the cycle is to go out, go out from the land of China, to open up a new future, open up new possibilities, keep discovering, and keep developing. Only in this way can we really go out!

Guo has no doubts about this!

And from this moment on, Guo Jin, who knows how big the world is, will no longer have any doubts. He knows what kind of conception the structure of the future territory envisioned by his father originated from.

At the end of October in the fifth year of Yande, the post-war affairs of the Northern Expedition were generally completed.

The issue of rewards for the army, rewards for officials, promotion and demotion of personnel has finally been straightened out.

Who is promoted, who is demoted, who will be rewarded, and who will be driven back to their hometown, this kind of thing is obvious.

The small book that Guo Jin recorded during his tenure as the prince of the supervisory country became the decisive existence of Guo Peng's attitude towards officials.

Those officials who were recorded as having improper attitudes or even being disrespectful to the prince were counted as one, and they were either demoted or expelled.

And those who work diligently will get a certain promotion.

The vacant positions will be filled by new officials.

Of course, this can only be regarded as a trivial matter. The real major event is Guo Peng's announcement of the establishment of a brand new administrative state, called Mozhou, which includes most of the grasslands he captured.

This is the first time in history that the Central Plains Empire proposed to exercise sovereignty over the grassland area, establish an administrative state, and send officials to govern it.

Guo Peng put forward his own plan, which is to immigrate 30 people into the grassland area in advance to carry out the pilot project of animal husbandry industry.

Based on the animal husbandry industry that has already started in Youbin Erzhou, it will be carried forward on the huge grassland.

Guo Peng proposed that the grassland should become the production base of meat and milk in the interior of the Wei Empire.

He wants to let a large number of meat, mutton, cattle and dairy products produced on the grassland enter the Central Plains, so as to reduce the price of meat and milk, so that more people can eat more meat and drink more milk.

Xiahou Dun, the former governor of Bingzhou, was changed to the governor of Mozhou. He was fully responsible for the construction of Mozhou, and the post of governor of Bingzhou was handed over to others.

Guo Peng said in the official imperial decree issued that this is something that the previous dynasty has never experienced, and this is something that the previous dynasty has never experienced.

He knows that it is very difficult, and if he is inexperienced, it may lead to losses, but he must do it.

The dynasties of all dynasties wiped out the enemies on the grassland and did not choose to occupy the grassland, because they felt that there was no economic advantage on the grassland, and it would only drag down the economy of the Central Plains and could not provide help.

But the result of not occupying the grassland is that powerful tribes appear one after another on the grassland.

From the Rong people in the Shangzhou period, to the Huns in the Qin and Han Dynasties of the Warring States Period, and later Xianbei, each was stronger and more difficult to deal with.

In the end, the Khitan people stepped onto the stage of history.

Chapter 1133 One thousand 140 Three people in Guo are full of expectations and ready to make a move

After eliminating an enemy and not occupying the land where the enemy grows, it will cause a power vacuum and a vacuum of existence in this land, which will inevitably attract others to come here to develop and grow.

History has repeatedly proved that powerful nomadic armed forces can be born on the grasslands, and they are enough to threaten the security of the Central Plains.

Therefore, this strategically important area must be occupied. Even if its economic construction model is completely different from the traditional Han people's economic construction model, we cannot stop operating it because we can't see the benefits.

Even as a strategic buffer, this large grassland is extremely important, not to mention the economic value as a natural pasture. Raising cattle, sheep and horses on this grassland can completely complete the blood transfusion for the Central Plains.

The civil servants are not willing to open up new territories for management. This kind of thinking is the same as that of the landlord class who is not willing to open up wasteland but likes to seize the existing mature cultivated land.

Unwilling to pay the cost for development, always only staring at the territory that has been developed by the predecessors, how short-sighted!

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the early Western Han Dynasty, the Huns invaded the Central Plains and even tried to control the politics of the Central Plains Empire. This was something he could not accept anyway.

But now, he has wiped out Xianbei, but he can't guarantee that in another 30 years, a powerful nomadic empire will continue to be born on the grassland, posing a threat to the border of the Wei Empire again.

He felt it was almost a certainty, if he just played and didn't take possession.

Some people say that the grassland cannot bring benefits to the Central Plains Empire, but the grassland itself can also breed such a powerful enemy. Doesn't this prove the huge economic potential of the grassland?

Just because no one has done it before doesn't mean you can't do it.

No one does it, I will do it, set a precedent for future generations, and let future generations know that delicious meat and delicious milk are all over the grassland!

When Guo Peng's imperial decree was issued, everyone knew that this matter was beyond discussion.

The emperor has just returned from an unprecedented victory, and his reputation is overwhelming. Who dares to say no to his policies?

There is no precedent for this matter. Not only is there no precedent for success, but there is also no precedent for failure. No one knows whether it is success or failure.

So no matter what they say, they can't conclude that the emperor's wave must have failed.

But the emperor had just finished the war, and before he had time to rest with the people, he had to relocate 30 people to the grassland for some kind of Mozhou construction plan, turning the grassland into a production base for meat and milk. No matter how you look at it, I feel a little aggressive.

So Wang Can, Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance, took the national financial expenditure plan to discuss this matter with Guo Peng.

"Your Majesty, according to my minister's point of view, this matter still needs to be delayed. If it is advanced immediately, judging from the materials that the imperial court can currently mobilize, it is impossible to support 30 people to build Mozhou. What we have to do is really Too much.

All these things require money and time. I know that His Majesty has great ambitions and ambitions, but His Majesty, the realization of ambitions and ambitions requires time and money. "

Wang Can's words were very pertinent, and Guo Peng knew that he was not lying. The Wei Empire's financial revenue was extremely rich, but its financial expenditure was also huge.

At present, major projects are being carried out in the west, north and south. Even the Central Plains, which is a major source of financial revenue, is currently planning to promote the Grand Canal. It can be said that the whole country is working hard to build. The Northern Expedition to Xianbei is still forced by Guo Peng propelled.

As a result, Xianbei has just finished cleaning up, and your old man is going to build the desert again...

Rest and rest, the country can't stand your toss.

Guo Peng looked at the national financial expenditure schedule and the clean and transparent financial savings, and after a little calculation, he knew that the rapid implementation of a construction plan for 30 people would really empty the national treasury.

And its own internal treasury also has other uses, which cannot support the operation of a national policy.

After thinking about it, Guo Peng thinks it's better to slow down a little.

He really wanted to quickly let the country and the people keep up with him, but now it seems that people's subjective initiative is limited after all.
