Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Old grudges can fade with the passage of time. Yao Xing is not the kind of person who is brooding over his uncle's death. Everyone knows that you want to make great achievements in the Northern Expedition and leave a name in history.
, Everyone knows that after unifying the south and rebuilding the Jin Dynasty, they will attack these northern barbarians, so it is logical to use the influential Huan family in Jingzhou to deal with you."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "But Huan Zhen is not an ordinary Huan family. He will never be willing to be inferior to others and become a puppet of the Later Qin Dynasty. Yao Xing cannot control him. If he supports him through the crisis, then Jingzhou will become Huan again."
The whole world is like making a wedding dress for others, why bother."
"If Huan Zhen cannot defend the twelve counties of Nanyang and Hanbei, and will eventually retreat to Guanzhong, then what's the point of keeping him except to offend me? Since keeping Huan Zhen in Nanyang will have no benefit regardless of victory or defeat,
Then you might as well give it to me as a favor, at least it will allow me to retain some friendship and not deal with him immediately."
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "What if the Later Qin sent troops to garrison in Nanyang? Will we start an all-out war with the Later Qin now?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Now the Later Qin was attacked by Hu Xia and Zhu Liang, and occupied Qiu Chi in Hanzhong. Although it was a vassal state in name, it was not honest. In order to compete with me for Nanyang, it sent the main force of the army to Nanyang. That was
It is not the behavior of a mature king to sacrifice one's roots and pursue one's last. I still say that leaving the territory, withdrawing the army, and moving the people away is the best choice."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Does Tao Yuanming have to complete this task? Can he understand the stakes involved?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "Tao Yuanming is from Jingzhou, and he is more familiar with Nanyang than the aristocratic families in Jiankang City. At this time, he is sent as an envoy to the Later Qin Dynasty. He also understands that it is a test and test for him, and he will definitely
He will go all out and I believe that with his ability, he will fulfill his mission."
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "Then you give him this opportunity to make meritorious service. If he really succeeds in his mission, wouldn't it be more troublesome? I'm afraid he will have to be assigned an important position in the court."
Liu Yu curled his lips and said, "It's not urgent. Tao Yuanming cannot be placed in Jingzhou or in the capital, but I think there is still a place for him. Next, I have to implement the plan to go to Jiangbei to free slaves as guests and immigrate to farmland.
, there will definitely be a direct conflict with the high-ranking family, and I don’t want to cause any changes if Tao Yuanming stays in the capital at this time."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "It's okay, it will take two or three months to go back and forth like this, which is enough for you to finish what you want. I will arrange for him to go on his mission and immigrate to Jiangbei."
The required grain, cloth, seeds, and raw silk, as well as surveying the wasteland north of the Yangtze River, establishing new villages, and arranging officials to prepare for the large number of tenants from the south of the Yangtze River, I will complete it as soon as possible."
Liu Yu smiled and patted Liu Muzhi on the shoulder: "Just take care of Jiangbei's affairs. Then transfer Tao Yuanming far away. I will personally arrange the deal with the aristocratic family. I will go to Xie's house right away."
, Madam, please come forward and let the major families know everything first. At this time, it is a good thing for them not to be an enemy of my will."
Liu Muzhi stretched out and looked at the sky. At some point, a ray of light shone through as the clouds on the horizon changed. It was past five o'clock and dawn was approaching. Liu Muzhi yawned.
: "Unknowingly, another night passed. Hey, I didn't even sleep. It affected my appetite too much."
Liu Yu said angrily: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. I'm afraid we rarely get a full night's sleep recently. You better get down to business as soon as possible. Don't delay me this time."
leg."
Liu Muzhi turned around and walked down the mountain: "The emperor still needs hungry soldiers. You slave, you are heartless and crueler than the emperor. This time I starve to death. Let's see who is still willing to work for you."
"
He shook his head while walking quickly. Soon, a sliding rod lifted his fat body up, just like lifting a big fat pig. The four strong servants trotted all the way, and they were walking on the ground in the mountains and forests.
, in a moment, it disappeared into the morning mist over the mountains.
Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Tan Pingzhi's tombstone, and murmured: "Pingling, I will not break my promise. I will fight you back to your hometown, so that you can be moved back to your hometown for burial in the future. As long as I, Liu Yu,
If you keep your tone, you will definitely do it.”
After saying that, he walked towards the outside of the forest without looking back. When Ding Yi saw Liu Yu coming out of the forest, he quickly finished chewing the remaining chicken leg in his hand, wiped his mouth full of oil, and came up to him with a smile: "Jinnu
Brother, you and Fat Changshi have been chatting for a long time, this is another night."
Liu Yu said calmly: "I haven't discussed political affairs with Fat Chang Shi for a long time, so naturally we talk more. Now let's go back to Jingkou."
Luo Bing came over and said in surprise: "Commander, are you going back to Jingkou now? We finally made it to the capital, how about..."
Liu Yu looked at Luo Bing and thought of Liu Muzhi's words just now, and his heart moved: "Guard Luo, are you in Jiankang now?"
Luo Bing grinned: "The commander still remembers this. Yes, just seven days ago, my father sold his property in Yongjia and moved his family to Jiankang City."
Liu Yu asked in surprise: "Sell your property and build a healthy family?"
Luo Bing nodded: "Yes, the land of Sanwu has been in war for many years. The original tenants and bankers ran away and died. It turns out that not even 20% of the 10% are left. Instead of guarding those unmanned manors, it is better to
Come to Jiankang to make a living. So many brothers from the Eighth Party Party in Beijing have entered the capital, and the Shen brothers have also bought properties in the capital. We will follow and become common people under the emperor's feet."
Liu Yu's heart moved, and he asked casually: "Then to whom did you sell those manors and properties in your hometown to?"
Luo Bing smiled and said: "Former general, Wang Yu of the Wang family in Taiyuan, the prince has taken a fancy to those places. How dare we violate the face of the Wang family in Taiyuan? Besides, settling in the capital requires General Wang's care, so
, so we half sold and half gave the land to the Wang family."
Liu Yu curled his lips and said: "Since you rich families who have been in Wudi for many years feel that you can't stay anymore and want to sell your property and come to the capital, why does General Wang want your family's land? Is it possible that his family's current
There are many slaves, do you have enough people to farm the land?"
Luo Bing shook his head: "I don't know about that, but if people want the land in those manors, there must be a way to solve this problem."
Liu Yu nodded and suddenly said: "Guard Luo, you have reminded me that maybe I still have some things to deal with in the capital. In this case, follow me back to the capital. I have to go somewhere."
Ding Yi said in a deep voice: "Where Brother Jinu is going, I will send my subordinates to inform you first."
Liu Yu instinctively wanted to say the word "Xie", and suddenly his heart moved: "By the way, Brother Mengniu, Brother Xie Tingyun who came to our military mansion last time, do you know where he is?"
