I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

On this day, Bao Xin received the emperor's edict and walked out of the palace with mixed feelings.

On the second day, the rewards of the emperor Bao Xin and the soldiers arrived.All soldiers were rewarded with wine, meat and money.In addition to grape wine, luminous cups, books, silk silk, jewelry, and armor, Bao Xin was also rewarded with a large amount of smooth white paper.Although he is a general, he also knows that this is a good thing.Not long ago, this kind of paper was brought to Jibei by merchants, and rich families rushed to buy it. It was also offered to him by his subordinates. It is a precious and rare thing in Jibei.

Rubbing the smooth paper surface, he was full of admiration: "This kind of white paper is even more exquisite than what we saw on the streets of Luoyang."

Bao Xin nodded: "Put it away carefully, don't get wet by the rain on the way back. It is said that the technique of white paper was made by His Majesty when he was King Chenliu. It must be of extraordinary significance to reward this thing to me now, and it should be even more important." cherish."

He nodded and said yes.

Bao Xin thought for a while: "If Xun'er uses these papers, it will be a waste." Thinking of his own son who is the same size as the emperor, he said with disgust: "His words are really not worthy of using the white paper given by His Majesty. You Just go to the bookstore in the afternoon and buy some ordinary paper for him to write on, and I will keep these papers for correspondence."

After all, he picked up the armor, felt the heavy weight and strong material, and expected: "It must be a rare and good armor!"

I followed him personally to put on the armor, and he was indeed very mighty: "Why is the front and back of the armor's chest like a polished mirror?"

Bao Xin touched that place and said joyfully: "This is because you are ignorant. This is the result of repeated polishing by the craftsman. This armor is very rare, especially here on the chest. Even if an arrow is shot in the chest, it can save your life."

"You will be even more powerful when you get the armor." The follower said: "This box, silk, satin and jewels are given to Madam. Madam will be happy to see it. Xiangguo, the jewelry will be put in the box and worn next to the body. By your side, don’t lose it.”

Bao Xin nodded in agreement, picked up the book again, and wondered, "What book is it?"

"It is a collection of more than a dozen rare books that have been transcribed. It is said that these books are all royal treasures." The attendant said with a smile, "It must have been at the banquet. Son Xun's."

Bao Xin was very moved: "What kind of virtue and ability do you believe in, you are so favored by His Majesty!"

I personally counted all the rewards and properties, checked them with the edict one by one, and was very surprised: "There is nothing missing." This was almost impossible when Emperor Ling was in power.As long as anything passes through the hands of anyone in the government, a layer of skin will be peeled off, let alone it will come down so quickly.

"We were in the Listening Building of the Luoyang Inn, and we also heard from the storyteller that Tian Feng, the head of the Overwatch Council, was a stern and selfless person, never afraid of anything, and his deputy was a well-known cruel official when he was in the Yuzhou County Government. For more than ten years, they have killed people like hemp. The two men complement each other, and Luoyang officials are trembling." Bao Xin's political sensitivity is very high: "If you deliberately say this to reassure the people, then the storyteller must be an ordinary person. And His Majesty appeared at the Luoyang Inn that day. It's not a coincidence, this inn has risen so fast, the people behind it may be supported by today's emperor."

The follower hesitated and said: "The emperor is only 12 years old..."

"Hugh said so, don't underestimate people because of age, Your Majesty is an ambitious and thoughtful person." Bao Xin sighed long and complicated, "I have been longing for a Mingjun, and finally I have waited. This is the first time in the Han Dynasty. After a hundred years, a Mingjun finally ushered in again."

When Bao Xin left the capital, he was fascinated by looking at the majestic city walls of Luoyang for a long time before riding his horse away.

At this time, Liu Xie was patrolling with Lu Bu on the city wall. Lu Bu was wearing a red cotton robe with hundreds of flowers, a bright armor made by Liu Xiegang, and holding a Fang Tian painted halberd, majestic and majestic.Liu Xie and a few bodyguards dressed like ordinary soldiers, and followed behind him wearing a helmet that concealed half of his face.

Seeing Liu Xie's melancholy expression, Lu Bu couldn't help asking, "Why is Your Majesty so unhappy?"

Liu Xie looked at the back of the Jinbei army leaving, sighed leisurely, and said in a low voice: "Bao Xin reminded me to be careful of the governor of Yuzhou, Kong Ni."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows: "Kong Ni? What happened to him?"

Liu Xie said dejectedly: "It's not much, but there are small tricks in private." Kong Ni is not well-known in Romance and Romance of the Three Kingdoms at all, and Liu Xie doesn't know anything about it at all, so he is a bit at a loss.

Lu Bu frowned: "Have you secretly plundered the population of other states and counties? Or have you ignored the imperial court and planted your own subordinates in subordinate counties?"

"Bao Xin has no evidence, and he didn't go into details. He only said that the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou had changed." However, Bao Xin has always had a vicious vision and a very keen political sense.Now that I have said it, Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, is definitely not in the right state.

"Actually, I have heard about it, but there is no evidence." Liu Xie sighed, "Bao Xin is not a person who can just talk about it, and this person's judgment has always been accurate."

"Why?"

"Bao Xin said that Yuan Shao is Dong Zhuo's second."

Lu Bu refused to accept it: "Heh, little Yuan Shao, can you still cause such a big disaster as Dong Zhuo?"

Liu Xie glanced at him, wondering if everyone said you have no vision: "If you don't mess up, you have to set up a flag."

Lu Bu asked with a question mark on his face: "What flag? I didn't set up a flag on the city wall?"

"I just want to say beware that a word will become a prophecy." Liu Xie explained: "Yuan Shao is a serious trouble in his heart, but unfortunately most people in the court don't understand this."

Lu Bu obviously belonged to the majority, and smiled contemptuously: "Now that Dong Zhuo is no longer in danger, if he leads his troops to kill the general, can Yuan Shao still be the enemy?"

Liu Xie said coolly: "Oh, believe it or not, you will lead an army to set out tomorrow, and within a month, I will be taken captive."

Lu Bu was taken aback.

Liu Xie sighed and said: "You also know that the power of the DPRK is complicated, and the surrounding forces are eyeing you. Don't mention the matter of attacking Yuan Shao for the time being." , wanted to appease him.If Liu Xie insisted on spending a lot of manpower and material resources to attack Yuan Shao, his prestige in the court and among the princes of the world would drop instead, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

"Your Majesty..." Lu Bu opened his mouth, and finally said, "Tomorrow, I will order Gao Shun to recruit soldiers."

"There can't be so many people living in the city." Liu Xie changed the subject: "Speaking of which, sooner or later, another barracks will be built outside the city anyway. I think it's better to build a new city."

Lu Bu was very surprised: "Xincheng?"

Liu Xie slid his fingers across the hill not far away.

Lu Bu didn't understand: "It's a low mountain, it's about thirty feet high, why doesn't it rise on the plain?"

A mountain of thirty feet high is a mound of one hundred meters.It's a bit like Sheshan in Shanghai, the mountain is not high, and the trees on it are lush.The mountain is not steep, and it is not difficult to build a well-organized house on it by terraced fields, and it is also very elegant, which is quite in line with the taste of literati.In this way, there are small fields on the left and right of the gate, forests behind the gate, and even mountain springs flowing down, which can be diverted by bamboo joints.But that's not the point. The point is that on the mountain, you can set up a fort, equipped with a trebuchet and a cannon that will be built in the future, and it is very easy to defend from a height.

So Liu Xie replied to Lu Bu with another question: "How does the city wall of Luoyang compare with the many city walls the general has seen?"

"Luoyang is where the Eastern Capital is located. The city walls are majestic and thick, farther than other cities."

"Does the general know how much effort it takes to build such a city wall?"

"Taming earth, pouring, and laying bricks." Lu Bu also saw Bingzhou conscripts conscripted to build the city wall, and thought about it carefully: "It will take tens of thousands of manpower, and it will take at least several years to build. Not to mention mud and bricks, I heard that It takes a long time to prepare to repeatedly smear the glutinous rice juice, egg white and donkey skin jelly on the walls of the capital."

Especially at this time, glutinous rice, egg whites, and donkey skin jelly are not cheap. Only the capital Luoyang has this special treatment, and these things are used to strengthen the city walls.

"If the mountain is the trend, then there is no need to build a wide and tall city wall." Liu Xie said: "The houses of the people are built around the mountain. If there is a war, they will go up the mountain to escape. At the same time, the top of the mountain is equipped with trebuchets and archery towers. The defense is deep. .”

Lu Bu thought deeply: "It is true that there is no need for a high wall to defend against Luoyang City, as long as there is a place to take shelter in an emergency. The newly recruited barracks can also be built nearby. In case of any war, whether it is to rescue Luoyang It is very appropriate to retreat to the top of the mountain and defend."

He suddenly reacted: "However, I can understand the construction of the barracks. Luoyang City has no place for soldiers to practice. But why do you suddenly want to build a new city next to Luoyang City?"

"It wasn't sudden, I had an idea early on. Luoyang has a population of millions. Didn't the general feel the congestion in the city?" Liu Xie said: "In addition to recruiting soldiers and people who came to study, there are more common people who come to Luoyang to seek life. No matter how large the scale is, it cannot accommodate so many people."

According to his idea, sooner or later Luoyang will develop into a super city integrating politics, economy and culture.The stronger the absorption effect of Luoyang, the higher the prestige of the imperial court.However, Luoyang has existed as the capital for nearly 200 years, and the population in the city is close to saturation. It is difficult for newcomers to find a place to live in the city, and some roads in the city are too narrow for horse-drawn carriages to pass through.Moreover, he has long wanted to establish a branch school for Luoyang School. There are too many people now, and the construction of teachers' apartments and student dormitories can't keep up. Some teachers and lecturers hired from other places are still living in post houses and inns for the time being. inside.In the future, with the establishment of specialized universities, such as medical universities, agricultural universities, and architectural universities, the city will not be able to accommodate them.

Lu Bu shook his head: "Luoyang City is rich and safe, no people are willing to move out."

Liu Xie said with a shallow smile, "Shanren has his own tricks."

In modern cities, new districts are often established when the old part of the city becomes overcrowded.There are few people in the new area at the beginning, but as the government guides the relocation of education, medical care, and large factories, the popularity will gradually increase.And generally speaking, the land in the new area is cheap, and it is easier to build a large-scale secondary industry.

Lu Bu guessed: "Does it have to start from school?"

Liu Xie nodded: "More than that, the smelter, garment factory and wood factory will also be moved there in the future."

In addition, there is actually another layer of thinking, that is, in the future, all the wealthy people in the country will be relocated to new cities.

Liu Xie has always been worried about the annexation of land by local tyrants and the displacement of the people. He once asked Chen Gong this question: "Is there no good way to make the people live in peace, the kind of soldiers that don't use blood?"

The powerful and strong in Jingzhou rebelled, and the melee became a group. The imperial court ordered officials to be weak, and the imperial court barely had a reason to send troops.Each county in the area also has its own forces. If they are not united together, the imperial court can defeat them one by one.But if it is used in other places, such as Yanzhou and Yuzhou, the local prefects and state shepherds have already been tied up with the local tyrants. could lead to rebellion.Even if Jingzhou is pacified, the follow-up order maintenance will have to continue for five years or even ten years. The troops there are basically locked there. The Thunder means to clean up the other states.

Chen Gong's speech was as straightforward as ever: "I have been rolling in the world of mortals for so many years, and I have never seen such a good thing as surrendering without fighting."

Liu Xie was in a dilemma: "Wouldn't it be the innocent people who charged into the battle against the state herdsmen? Could it be that Gongtai just had the heart to see blood flow like a river?"

"The minister heard that reading history and Mingjian, reading the past to know the present."Chen Gong didn't say much, and only suggested: "When your Majesty is free, you might as well read more "Order to Move the Maoling Mausoleum."

Liu Xie consulted historical materials, and it turned out that Emperor Wu ordered all wealthy families with more than 300 million yuan to move to Maoling near the capital. This is the "Moving Maoling Order".This method can draw on the local tyrants and weaken their control over the local area. It can also justify buying the land they sold for migration at a low price, and then distribute the land to the people.However, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used this method, the imperial court was strong and strong, and everyone in the country was afraid.It is certainly inappropriate for the imperial court to use this method rashly, but the new city can be built first.

After inspecting the city wall, Liu Xie saw that the soldiers were in good spirits, and the inspection and release at the city gate was orderly, and his mood improved a lot.

Lu Bu suggested: "I'll take you back, there's nothing to see."

Liu Xie shook his head, still thinking: "Let's go to the medical hall to have a look."

Lu Bu became nervous: "Are you sick?"

"No, I'm going to visit the famous doctor Hua Tuo."

Lu Bu was confused: "Hua Tuo?"

Liu Xie said mysteriously, "It's a famous doctor through the ages."

Lu Bu looked at why you are here again, and said indifferently: "God's will?"

Liu Xie nodded without blushing.

Lu Bu had no choice but to let him go.

It was still early at this time, and the Luoyang Medical Center was distributing porridge, and the poor people held gaped pottery bowls in their hands and watched the queue eagerly.I'm afraid that when it's time for me, the porridge will be gone.When passing by, Liu Xie saw that there was not much porridge in the cauldron, presumably the people behind were doomed to return in vain.Especially when he saw that some people didn't even have the strength to stand up, and the hands holding the bowl were trembling, he couldn't bear it, and wanted to order the guards to add another pot.

Lu Bu seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said indifferently: "If you are really hungry, you will come to line up early tomorrow."

Liu Xie shook his head: "The ones in the back are not necessarily lazy." He pointed to a ragged mother who was holding a child: "There must be other things that are holding it back."

"I know what you're thinking, but the imperial court's supply of food and grass is not inexhaustible. You can't satisfy them all, let them get used to getting something for nothing."

But Liu Xie said: "If a penniless person comes to Luoyang and cannot find enough work to satisfy his needs, it is the court's fault."

The author has something to say: It will be updated at ten o'clock tomorrow night, and I will be on a business trip to Nanjing next week, so this weekend should be as long as possible.

Thank you for your overlord tickets and nutrient solution these two days~~~~ Hugs

Liu Xie: Hey, I heard that the whole family needs to be involved in the gift giving to get more touched. I want to do everything!

The young emperor is ambitious: the goal of this government, everyone! ! !We must achieve full employment, economic growth, richness first and prosperity later, and ultimately achieve common prosperity.

Lu Bu looked indifferent: One cannot get something for nothing.Survival of the fittest, government handouts are unnecessary.And why do you want to get rich first and then get rich later? I grew up so big, and all the income I got was made by myself.

It is said that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when the heroes attacked Dong Zhuo, all the heroes in the world joined Yuan Shao and promoted Yuan Shao as the leader. They all thought Yuan Shao was a real hero. Only Bao Xin said to Cao Cao: "Not everyone has resourcefulness. Chaos, it is not Yuan Shao who restores order, but you! If your talent and status are not commensurate, even if you are powerful, you will definitely die in the end! Could it be that God sent them to open the way for you?" Their vision is quite good.
