"After this reward, Bo Yuan will start construction?" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yi and asked.

The matter of rebuilding the Erdu has basically been finalized. Liu Yi recruited all these ministers this time. In fact, there is another purpose, which is to facilitate the people in Shuzhong and Jingzhou to take action. As long as the corruption is not too much, it is actually not a big deal. As long as it does not leave the circle and does not affect people's livelihood, it will not move around. After all, those who can become officials in this day and age, even if they are just a county magistrate, the relationship behind it is complicated. If these officials are still in the local or Hanzhong, there will always be people coming to plead for mercy. After all, the circle is so big, so when the ministers are feasted, it is also the time when corruption is investigated in various places in Shuzhong and Jingzhou.

It can be considered a shocking tiger. Liu Bei has been governing Jingzhou for 20 years and has been in Shu for seven years. In recent years, Jingshu has flourished under Liu Bei's governance, and its national strength has become stronger and stronger. However, corruption has also arisen. Some people are constantly testing Liu Bei's bottom line. This time, Zhuge Liang suggested to Liu Bei to kill corruption, not only to help Liu Yi raise funds for the reconstruction of the Erdu, but also to rectify the rules and regulations.

Next, Jingzhao and Xiliang will use a large number of people, and it is impossible for aristocratic families to avoid it. Liu Yi's academy has only begun to cultivate talents in recent years. It is far from being able to make up for the loopholes in talents. Aristocratic families must use it, but in addition to using it, they also have to be knocked and knocked. Although the people who were moved this time are large in scale, they are actually grassroots and have little impact on the aristocratic families. However, these people are the closest to the people and are the most intuitive to feel. They can calm the public anger, enhance Liu Bei's people's expectations, and enrich the treasury. As for whether they can make up for Liu Yi's gap, Zhuge Liang hopes that they cannot.

If they really make up for it, it only means that the law has not been perfected during their rule over the years, but the current law is actually very strict. If it is further revised, it will cause a rebound from scholars. At least at present, Liu Bei's dependence on scholars is not enough to be replaced by anything, or it will not be possible for many years in the future. Liu Yi's concept proposed is not advanced, and some people have even done it before, but they all failed in the end.

The inheritance of knowledge does not mean that you can print books until they are overwhelmed. At least there must be a leader who will tell you what the word is and what it means. Now Liu Yi is also concerned about this matter. Zhuge Liang knows Liu Yi’s plan to let the children of meritorious soldiers read knowledge. In order to allow the court to firmly grasp the military power in their hands, we must cultivate more talents through the academy, and while enriching our career, we can also contribute to education.

The next step is to expand the number of academies, and then Liu Yi's original ideas can be implemented step by step, but there will be resistance. In Zhuge Liang's budget, even if everything goes as smoothly as Liu Yi said, it will probably take twenty years to achieve Liu Yi's step. Only then will the court have the confidence to completely break away from dependence on the aristocratic families.

Of course, aristocratic families cannot disappear. Even if these aristocratic families are killed, new aristocratic families will appear. For example, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and even Liu Yi, the emergence of a new aristocratic families is just a replacement for the old aristocratic families. It is impossible to eradicate them by themselves. People will want to get more and will want to bless future generations, and aristocratic families will come into being. This is a product of human nature. Unless everyone is exterminated, this thing will be imagined.

Liu Yi didn't know that Zhuge Liang had so many things flashed through his mind in such a short time. He heard this and nodded, "Well, lay wooden tracks first and all the roads in various places. From Hanzhong to Guanzhong, the road from Longdi is not easy to build. After the road is opened, it can be built soon. Otherwise, with Guanzhong's materials, even if various factories are newly built, it will be difficult to build them in a short time. After the Erdu project begins, I am still preparing to pave the roads in Xiliang and Hetao. Now that Guanzhong has started, the attitude of the Southern Xiongnu is also very important. You may have to threaten by force. If you are afraid of fighting, the rest will be easy to say. However, our army has little experience in fighting with the Xiongnu. I hope to transfer Zilong here."

"Do you want to assimilate the Hu people like the Southern Barbarians as in Nanzhong?" Zhuge Liang said with a funny look.

"There are some difficulties. The situation on both sides is different. The Hu people live by water and plants, and they are erratic. Unless they can be given, it is difficult to do this. However, the Southern Xiongnu have been in the Hetao area for so many years. Someone should have had similar ideas at the beginning." Liu Yi nodded and shook his head again: "It has not been completely successful. The Southern Xiongnu are still the Southern Xiongnu. It is easy to defeat them, but it is really difficult to be a Han person."

If you are not my race, your heart will be different. This statement is correct or not. How can you be considered my race? For a family, Lao Wang next door is not my race. For a Zhuangzi, the people next door are definitely not the same as themselves. The same is true between countries and tribes. There are many things involved in this. People themselves do not regard themselves as Han people. Even if you treat them like Han people, it is useless.

So this problem is useless to imagine here. Liu Yi is not a racist, but everything has a sequence. If you cannot find a solution to assimilate it, you can only crack down on and suppress or even eliminate it. Liu Yi has already done it, so why hasn't it been promoted? He is worried that if this technology is spread to the grassland, it will greatly enhance their combat effectiveness and in turn threaten his own side.

So Liu Yi has always been very careful about these things. Since Guanzhong and Xiliang have been conquered this time, Liu Yi is going to go there and conduct a field investigation to see if it is possible to integrate it into the Han Dynasty?

If possible, Liu Yi would ask Liu Bei to run these places. If not, Hetao would have to be brought back. If such fertile land cannot be made into their own people, it would be like a foster enemy.

Zhuge Liang nodded. This is true. The political systems on both sides are different. The grassland ethnic groups are relatively loose and have high mobility. Even if one does not fall into one, if there is insufficient resources, it may easily split into two or even three to make a living. Even the Xiongnu Shanyu is far less binding than the Han or Wei tribes. If the Huns can be settled, there will be cities like the Central Plains, then in that case, they can indeed try to annex and integrate. After all, the entire Chinese nation is actually integrated step by step.

But it is not easy to make the Huns settle down? It is not a problem of construction, but a problem of resources. The grassland people live in water and grass by pursuing water and grass, but for survival. This is a deadlock. If you want to include these grasslands into the territory of the Han Dynasty, the survival issue is the first thing to consider.

"What is Bo Yuan going to do?" Pang Tong turned his head and looked at Liu Yi and smiled.

"Look at it step by step, first lay the foundation of Xiliang, and then consider these issues. Now I just have this idea. Let's look at the specific issues later."

"It's reasonable!" Zhuge Liang nodded. Liu Yi has a steady personality. In this regard, he was not worried that Liu Yi was eager to make progress. When Liu Yi took the initiative, he was afraid that even if Liu Yi was not sure, he would have 90%.

Liu Bei prepared a banquet for the ministers for three days, and there were singing and dancing to entertain him. Although it was difficult to immerse the songs of this year and month at first glance, if you could savor them carefully, it would be like mellow wine. I didn't understand them before, but now I understand them, and he began to enjoy this elegance of this era.

"Bo Yuan, together?" Pang Tong pulled Liu Yi's sleeve and winked.

"Go to yourself, you have to be in groups of things like this? You might as well take the army." Liu Yi looked at him angrily. What habits are you used to?

The banquet will last for three days, so it is impossible to eat, drink and have fun here all the time. You always have to rest. In addition, you have to go to the bathroom, otherwise how could you keep eating?

"Where are you talking nonsense?" Pang Tong pulled Liu Yi and pulled Zhuge Liang out.

"The problem~" Liu Yi was speechless. Pang Tong didn't say anything. Now Pang Tong said it, and he really felt something, so he took the opportunity. Liu Bei had already gone to rest. The atmosphere in the hall began to warm up, and people began to frequently toast.

"How much does this meal cost?" It was already late at night outside the hall, and Liu Yi was not going back. There was a place for foreign ministers to come in to rest in the palace. He wanted to go to bed and come back tomorrow. The biological clock he developed over the years made him want to sleep when he saw it dark, and at most he had some night exercise.

"Ask Kong Ming." Pang Tong pinched his nose, got used to the city built by Liu Yi, and then went to the toilet here, it felt more like he was suffering.

"It's about three million." Zhuge Liang calculated that the wine, meat and dishes were not the chef's wages. After all, the chef was the chef next to Liu Bei, but if there was any remaining, it would usually not be collected and would be rewarded directly to these people, after all, there was no extra wage.

"It's not too much. Your Majesty is really frugal." Liu Yi thought about it. There were so many people who ate and drank, and each person was only a few thousand yuan a day. No wonder he felt a little shabby when he sat in the hall before.

"Now, money is needed everywhere in the country, so we naturally need to save some." Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Yi indifferently. When someone spoke, he would be 3 billion. How could Liu Bei not tighten his belt?

"It's good to be frugal, too much is a waste, there is no need." Liu Yi stretched out his waist, stretched his muscles and said, "Is there a place in Chang'an when I go back to my home now?"

"It has not been arranged yet. Three days later, Your Majesty will take his ministers to inspect Luoyang." Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yi with a smile. At that time, it will be the time for Liu Yi to destroy the house.
