[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

64

Lin Yuzhou explained his plan to Liu Xie and his companions in an in-depth and concise manner. Zhuge Liang and the others are worthy of being the most famous counselors in the Three Kingdoms. Even if they are still young, they cannot be underestimated. Not only did they understand, You can draw inferences from one instance and express your own opinions.

"It's cold in winter, and the provincial reform can be postponed until next year. The top priority right now is to ensure that the people of the four prefectures survive the severe winter safely." Zhuge Liang propped his chin, recalling what his uncle Zhuge Xuan once said, and continued: "The national treasury cannot be moved rashly. The imperial court still needs to guarantee next year's planting and military rations. Now only part of the tax revenue from the Ministry of Households can be moved."

"Inappropriate." Sima Yi waved his hand, and he retorted: "There are so many people in the four prefectures of Jiqinggun and Henan, but the taxes are not enough. If the people don’t get it, they may change again.”

Lu Xun nodded, and added: "The snow disaster affects a wide area. It is definitely not enough to rely solely on the imperial court to open warehouses for disaster relief. We have to think of other ways."

"..."

Lin Yuzhou watched the children argue and refute. He already had an idea in his mind. The court needed to contribute, but private capital could not stand by. It was time for the officials of the big Han to experience the power of merchants.It's just that he hasn't perfected this idea yet, and he is not going to tell the children that their main topic today is the provincial reform of the four prefectures of Hebei, Qinggun and Henan.

After bringing the topic back, Lin Yuzhou explained the reform measures to everyone in a simple way, and he stopped the children's discussion until the sun went down.Lin Yuzhou sent the companions out of the palace, and Zhuge Liang went back to the Regent's Palace with him as usual.

But today when they walked to the main entrance of the palace, they saw Xun Yu and Guo Jia waiting there.

Lin Yuzhou stuck his head out of the carriage window, and asked with a smile, "How long have you been waiting? Why don't you go in?"

Xun Yu replied with a smile, "We have just arrived too."

Guo Jia sneezed: "I want to wait for you at the door, why don't you come down?"

Lin Yuzhou first helped Zhuge Liang get off the carriage, and after Zhuge Liang got off the carriage, he politely saluted the two: "Mr. Guo, Mr. Xun!"

A gentle smile appeared on Xun Yu's face. He touched Zhuge Liang's hand and said, "It's a bit cold, go into the house quickly, and be careful not to catch a cold."

After Zhuge Liang was taken away by the housekeeper, Lin Yuzhou also got off the carriage. Guo Jia tapped Lin Yuzhou on the shoulder with a folding fan, "You really brought this kid home to raise him?" Others might not have noticed, but Guo Jia He had noticed a long time ago that Lin Yuzhou had a preference for Zhuge Liang, and he joked, "If your military adviser finds out, I'll be sore."

Lin Yuzhou raised his eyebrows: "It's really the military adviser who asked Zhuge Liang to take care of me."

A smile appeared on the corner of Xun Yu's mouth, and Guo Jia pouted, "Military Master really understands you."

"Okay, stop talking at the gate." Lin Yuzhou raised his hand and said to his two friends, "Come in."

There has been a heavy snowfall in Luoyang in recent days. Although the sky has cleared up, the snow is still lying on the ground.After Lin Yuzhou walked into the mansion with his friends, the snow on the rockery slowly melted and merged into small streams flowing down from the top of the mountain, forming small and exquisite waterfalls. Under the sunlight, these miniature waterfalls look special.

The sun had already set, and the remaining sliver of light from the sky shone on the white snow on the roof, and the reflected halo fell on people. Others were fine, but Lin Yuzhou seemed to be coated with a layer of golden veil by this layer of halo, For a moment, everyone's eyes were attracted.

Guo Jia regained his senses first. He felt that if he looked at Lin Yuzhou a few more times, he would never marry a wife and have children in this life. He coughed twice and said, "I heard that you plan to let Zhou Yu and Lu Su go south?"

Lin Yuzhou nodded, and he said seriously: "I know you want them to stay in the imperial court, but the place is really short of talents, they are still young, and they need to go and see more." After finishing speaking, he pushed open the door of the study, and Guo Jia and Xun Yu invited them in.

After entering the study, Guo Jia sat on the soft couch on the east side, and Xun Yu took the opportunity to sit opposite him. Guo Jia said, "We all know this truth, but there is only a shortage of talents. Those in the Hanlin Academy are not enough, right?"

The four prefectures of Ji, Qing, Gun and Henan were occupied by the puppet imperial court for two years. The officials of these four prefectures need to be re-selected. No matter how they are arranged, they cannot be topped by dozens of Jinshi from the Imperial Academy.

Lin Yuzhou ordered the servants to bring tea, he said: "In addition to the Jinshi who participated in the imperial examination, those who have participated in the imperial examination can also be appointed, so we should give them a chance at this time."

Guo Jia and Xun Yu looked at each other and felt that Lin Yuzhou's method was feasible.Guo Jiadao: "Before the New Year's Eve, part of the army will return to the court. If there is no war, Cao Mengde and others can also help."

Lin Yuzhou has long thought about the arrangement of Cao, Liu, and Sun. After the three of them leave, it should be the time for these three to stand up to the Han Dynasty. But before that, he needs to teach Liu Xie well, otherwise he will not be able to hold back These three.

"Recently, the most discussed in the court are the rewards for meritorious ministers and the punishment of Yuan Shao brothers." Guo Jia picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, tapped the lid of the cup with his index finger, and asked, "These two things are very difficult. , General, do you have any ideas?"

Lin Yuzhou pondered for a moment: "For rewards, there are old rules to follow, so it's not difficult, and His Majesty also said a few days ago that Yuntai Pavilion will be expanded."

"Expand the Yuntai Pavilion?" Xun Yu was shocked, "Since Emperor Ming built Yuntai Pavilion and ordered people to paint and hang portraits of 28 famous generals who rejuvenated the Han Dynasty in it, no one can put himself His portrait is hung in it."

Lin Yuzhou nodded, "In addition to Yuntai Pavilion, there will be a Han Hero Monument, Han Hero Tomb, etc."

A strange color flashed in Guo Jia's eyes. Both he and Xun Yu were ambitious people. How could they not want to be famous in history when they were alive?Staying in Yuntai Pavilion is the best reward for them.

Lin Yuzhou also understands this truth. Throughout the ages, glory in life and mourning in death are all attractive factors.He looked at the two friends, and said directly: "Your Majesty, as long as the courtiers have made great contributions to the country, they will have the opportunity to live in the Yuntai Pavilion. They will be respected during their lifetime and enshrined after their death."

Smiles appeared on Guo Jia and Xun Yu's faces. This honor will further stimulate the courtiers and make them devote themselves to the big man. Liu Xie is becoming more and more like an emperor, which also makes them very gratified.

"As for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu..." Lin Yuzhou knocked on the edge of the coffee table, and said, "The Yuan family has deep roots, and there are many people who want to save them. In recent days, I have received some memorials to plead for them. There are so many books."

"It can be seen." Guo Jia put down the teacup in his hand, he thought for a while, then turned his head and said, "We can use Yuan's relationship to attract those who are disloyal to the court and have resentment towards the New Deal."

Lin Yuzhou narrowed his eyes: "Any change will affect the interests of a certain party. There will be many such people. Even if they are all drawn out, they can only be prevented, and they cannot be convicted."

"There is no need to convict, as long as these fish hiding in the muddy water are driven out." Guo Jia's expression sank, "The imperial court has a lot of affairs, and there is no time to keep guarding against the rats in the gutter."

"This plan is feasible, but it can't be radical. It's an eventful time now, the court can't be chaotic, and Luoyang can't be chaotic." Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia and said: "All decisions must be based on safety."

After listening to the two of them, Lin Yuzhou said with a smile: "Don't think too complicated. After all, Yuan Shao is a prisoner. He can't overcome any big storms. Those who really know the current affairs will automatically stay away from him. Even if some people or families are arrested by Yuan Shao If you catch the handle, you will only do some small fights."

Guo Jia and Xun Yu understood what Lin Yuzhou meant, and they put Yuan Shao's matter aside for the time being.

Suddenly there was the sound of "rusting" snow outside the study. It seemed that it was snowing heavily again. Guo Jia took a look at Xun Yu, and the two made a decision to stay overnight at Lin Yuzhou's place.Guo Jia asked, "Is Wen Ruo and I still in the guest room?"

Lin Yuzhou chuckled, "I keep it for you all the time, and someone will clean it every day."

Guo Jia raised his eyes, looked straight into Lin Yuzhou's eyes, and asked seriously: "You have been drinking medicine these days, how is your health?"

Lin Yuzhou coughed, "It's a hidden injury from before, it doesn't matter, just drink some medicine and it will be fine." What could he say?You can't say that you made it like this, can you?If you really want to tell the truth, it will probably scare Guo Jia and Xun Yu.

Xun Yu was very worried: "It's really not possible, please invite Doctor Hua to Luoyang."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Lin Yuzhou shook his head, "I know my body, and the medicinal materials are all prepared by Qingya, and they are very effective."

Guo Jia knew Qingya's abilities well, and he was a little relieved when he heard what Lin Yuzhou said.

Xun Yu saw that Lin Yuzhou had made a decision, so he didn't say much. Since he learned that Lin Yuzhou had delegated power to Liu Xie, he understood the other party's plan. His Majesty will be 12 years old during the Chinese New Year. He can take on more responsibilities and needs more Lots of exercise.

In the past, Lin Yuzhou was at the top, and everyone had the backbone for all the regulations. Under his governance, the big man was developing in a better and better direction, but as soon as Xun Yu thought that Lin Yuzhou would let go and leave one day, his mind began to get better and better. Some anxiety.

Xun Yu didn't know that there were many courtiers who knew that Lin Yuzhou was ill, and even more courtiers were anxious.

Inside the Cai Mansion, Cai Yong and Zhuge Xuan sat facing each other in the hexagonal pavilion. Outside the pavilion was heavy snow, and inside the pavilion was a warm stove, but no matter how warm the stove was, it could not calm the mood of the two of them.

Cai Yong was silent for a while, before he asked: "The rumors about the general's illness are true? He has a relapse of a secret illness, and he is saved by medicine?"

Zhuge Xuan recalled Zhuge Liang's words, nodded, and sighed: "In such a big country, you have to do everything by yourself, how much effort does it take? Besides, the general has swept away so many thorns for His Majesty. What's so good about Shen Ke? Fortunately, A Liang also said that the medicines that Major General Qing Ya found were all magic medicines, and they are still useful."

"There are very few people I admire in my life, and the general is actually the first one." Cai Yong sighed, and continued: "Let's not talk about the situation in Liangzhou back then, just talk about the situation when the general took over the big man two years ago, the mountains and rivers were broken. Su, the people are in dire straits... What about now? In just two years, he has turned the world upside down and made the big man prosperous..."

Zhuge Xuan had traveled to many places before, so he naturally understood Cai Yong's feelings, "I hope the general's health will improve, and I will carry more things to share your majesty's worries."

Cai Yong nodded, he took out a letter from his sleeve, and pushed it in front of Zhuge Xuan, "This is a letter written by Brother Zhong Yao. Some people want to jointly write to His Majesty, asking him to forgive Yuan's capital crime. These people have already committed suicide. Contact him."

"It's delusional!" Zhuge Xuan's eyes flashed with anger, "Many measures of the New Deal have harmed the interests of the aristocratic family. These people really want to save Yuan Shao in order to repay the kindness of the party's rescue? Not necessarily, they want to use the Yuan family As a hub, connect again to contend with the imperial court's New Deal.""

Zhuge Xuan understood this matter clearly, so why not Cai Yong?There may be true feelings in the world, but most of them are a combination of interests, and saving Yuan Shao is only for the benefit of those people.It only took two years for the big man to change, why did those wealthy families compromise so much?The Yuan family is just a pathfinding stone used by those people with ulterior motives to test the bottom line of His Majesty and the General.

"You and I must be vigilant in this matter, and we must not be succeeded by the enemy."

After Cai Yong finished speaking, he and Zhuge Xuan raised their heads at the same time, their eyes met each other, and there was a faint red light in each other's eyes.

After entering the winter moon, Luoyang City became colder day by day. Many rivers outside the city were frozen, and the ice on the Weishui River was especially thick.

During this period of time, many Xiaoxiao gangsters kept attacking the Weishui prison. Fortunately, these assassins who intended to rob the prisoners were blocked by Gao Shun's special battalion. Now that the river is frozen, their actions are even more difficult.

Luoyang was infiltrated with lawbreakers, Luoyang Ling and Sili Xiaowei were very angry, and the Ministry of Punishment and the city defense were also annoyed. This matter was even brought to the court by the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. His meaning was very clear, that is, to solve Yuan Shao as soon as possible.

However, this proposal was turned back. There is still more than a month before the New Year's Day, and it is not appropriate to see blood before the festival. More importantly, Lin Yuzhou decided to adopt Guo Jia's strategy, and planned to use Yuan Shao to lure those who plotted against the New Deal.

Since then, the news of the snow disaster in Jizhou suppressed Yuan Shao's affairs, and the imperial court decided to put Yuan Shao's affairs aside first, and make full preparations for disaster relief in the three prefectures of Jiqinggun.

Jizhou was the hardest hit by the heavy snowfall in the Central Plains this time, followed by Gunzhou. Only a small part of Qingzhou was affected.Lin Yuzhou sent Zhou Yu and Lu Su to the south, accompanied by Cai Yan and Diao Chan, these two women were going to join Dong Yuan.

Transporting relief supplies and capital is a dangerous thing. Fortunately, Xu Rong was there. After he escorted Yuan Shao back to Luoyang, he has been camping outside Luoyang City. This time he returned to the battlefield with Zhou Yu and the others, but this battlefield is different from the previous All the same, it's more brutal.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su are sitting in a carriage. They will separate after arriving in Jizhou, and Lu Su will go to Qingzhou.The two sat in the carriage without saying a word. It was the scene on the road that made them speechless. What they saw was not the hardest-hit area, and the lives of the people were already so difficult. What would it be like when they arrived in Hebei and Qinghai? situation?Purgatory on earth?

Lu Su turned his eyes back from the car window, and sighed: "After staying in Luoyang for nearly a year, I really think the world is peaceful."

Zhou Yu turned his face and said, "The disaster funds will be distributed before the New Year's festival, and the spring sowing will be carried out together with the provincial reform after the festival. Brother Zijing, do you have a plan in mind for the snow disaster in Qingzhou?"

Lu Su nodded: "I just have a simple idea, but General Liu Bei is in Qingzhou, he is a benevolent general, with his help, he will definitely be able to draw up a good plan, and the disaster relief will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Hearing what Lu Su said, Zhou Yu squeezed his chin. Now that Jizhou is guarded by military division and Qingya, isn't it easier for him?

The two discussed and walked all the way, and by the time they entered Changshan, it was already the end of Dongyue.

Because of the continuous heavy snowfall and the bravery of the Liangzhou Army, Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, finally chose to surrender, and his Black Mountain Army was also suppressed by Lu Bu. Since then, Jizhou has been completely controlled by the imperial court.

After Zhang Yan surrendered, Lu Bu's task was also completed, and Qing Ya was also relieved.The two of them also visited the people in the sphere of influence of the Black Mountain Army together. I have to say that the people living here are living a pretty good life. At least they still have rags to cover their bodies and a little food to survive. Being starved to death, this situation also reduced a lot of pressure on the court.

After the two finished the finishing work, they returned to the Gaoyi camp. When they came to the gate of the camp with their trilogy, they happened to meet Zhou Yu and Lu Su.After the two parties greeted each other, Qingya was about to ask Zhou Yu and Lin Yuzhou what was going on, but found that Lu Bu was distracted.

At this time, Ji Shengyan came out after inspecting the relief supplies. When he looked up, he also noticed Lu Bu's gaze.He followed Lu Bu's gaze and found Cai Yan and Diao Chan who got off the carriage.The two women, who is Lu Bu looking at?
