801 Joint Memorial

After the Huaxia Kingdom officially moved its capital to Luoyang, it immediately launched a series of recuperation actions, building water conservancy projects, reclaiming farmland, and encouraging production. All parts of the Huaxia Kingdom officially began a round of economic revitalization competition.

Militarily, Gao Fei took a defensive stance, using Wancheng, Runan, Xuzhou, Lingzhou and Tongguan as key border defense towns. He also moved the Huns living in Yan'an Prefecture and Xihe Prefecture to Lingzhou Prefecture and settled there respectively.

Stationed in Yiju County and Niyang County.

The 100,000 Dongyi soldiers that Xun You and Wang Wenjun rushed to recruit from Dongyi also moved to Shuofang, Yunzhong, Baotou, Dingxiang, and Wuyuan, and were handed over to the generals stationed there for training to strengthen the defense of northern China.

strength.

In addition, Gao Fei also encouraged the people of Youzhou to migrate to the Hetao area, and announced it in the form of an imperial list. Each person who moved there could get ten acres of land, and the land could be privatized. For a time, people in Youzhou area

The poor and lower-middle peasants migrated en masse, and half a million people settled in the Hetao area, enriching the population of the Hetao area.

Gao Fei strongly encouraged the people to reclaim wasteland and asked the local government to build canals for the people to facilitate water diversion for irrigation.

In addition, Gao Fei mobilized Tiger Guard General Gan Ning, Hussar General Zhang He, Left Chariot General Jia Kui, Right General Chen Dao, Pingnan General Li Dian, Pingxi General Le Jin, Pingbei General Zhu Ling, and Pioneer General Linghu.

Shao, General Pi Hao Zhao and others rushed to Hebei to train the 200,000 new recruits recruited in Youzhou and Jizhou, and 90,000 recruits were divided and organized into

The navy was handed over to Gan Ning for training, and Zhu Ling, Wang Wei, Linghu Shao, Hao Zhao and others were given to Gan Ning as subordinates. The remaining 110,000 recruits were organized into cavalry, and the remaining 100,000 were organized into infantry.

, handed over the cavalry to Zhang, and Chen Dao was responsible for unified training of the infantry. In the vast land of Hebei, the training of new soldiers has also become a beautiful scenery.

Since then, the important work of the Huaxia Kingdom has been basically completed. Up to now, including the newly recruited 200,000 Xiongnu, Qiang, and Dongyi foreign mercenaries, the Huaxia Kingdom has a total force of 700,000, the largest in the world!

Of course, Gao Fei was also strongly opposed to his aggressive military activities. Up to a hundred officials, led by the four Senate Prime Ministers Tian Feng, Xun Chen, Guan Ning, and Bing Yuan, drafted a joint memorial, unanimously demanding that Gao Fei dismantle the army and implement elite military training.

system.

It was particularly cold in Luoyang in November. Large swaths of snowflakes fell from the sky, and the goose-feather-like snow fell one after another. Soon, the capital city was covered with a layer of white.

In the magnificent palace, Gao Fei felt very unhappy after reading the memorial jointly signed by one hundred and twenty-three civil and military ministers at all levels.

"Crack!"

Gao Fei slammed the memorial in his hand on the table, made a loud noise, and said angrily: "What's the worst? I'm going to issue national bonds again! They keep arguing every day, and my ears are scratched by callouses."

Got it!"

At this time, Xun You and Wang Wenjun had just returned from Liaodong and happened to come to see Gao Fei. They had been away from each other for several months and had no idea about the major events in the court. However, seeing Gao Fei become so angry, they knew that it must be written in the memorial.

Words that angered Goofy.

Inside the main hall, there are large coal stoves placed in the four corners. Although it is freezing outside, the inside of the main hall is warm and cozy.

As soon as they entered the main hall, Xun You and Wang Wenjun knelt down and worshiped: "I will bow to the emperor!"

"Everyone, get up!" Gao Fei waved casually, but there was still a hint of anger on his face.

After Xun You stood up, he first said: "To report to the emperor, in accordance with the emperor's order, I have sent all 100,000 Dongyi soldiers to the five prefectures of Shuofang, Wuyuan, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and Baotou, with 20,000 troops in each prefecture.

, and handed it over to the general stationed locally to be responsible for training, mainly training their riding and shooting abilities."

"My dear friends, you have worked hard. You have been traveling to Liaodong since July. It has been more than four months now. You two dear ladies have been working hard all the way. It is really hard. You can go back and have a rest, dear dear friends.

My family has also been settled in Luoyang. I will ask Weiwei Lu Heng to send the two beloved ladies home in a while." Gao Fei said slowly.

Xun You said: "I don't need to worry about it, Your Majesty. I have already returned home. Your Majesty is angry. Could it be that there is something unpleasant? I wonder if I can solve it?"

Gao Fei sighed heavily and said: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I recruited 400,000 new soldiers in just four months. The ministers in the DPRK and the Central Committee unanimously believed that I was too aggressive and they all submitted memorials asking me to disband the army.

.No, all the civil and military officials headed by the four prime ministers of the Senate have jointly written a memorial, saying that if some troops are not abolished, they will resign! I am in trouble."

Wang Wenjun was the Secretary of the Ministry of War. After hearing this, he immediately said: "The emperor's expansion of the army by 400,000 may seem like a militancy, but it is actually of far-reaching significance. There are thirteen states in the world, and the Huaxia Kingdom monopolizes eight states. Such a huge territory,

If there is no strong military as a guarantee, it will definitely be bullied by other countries.

When war comes, if we recruit people at the last minute, we probably won't even have the ability to resist. Our country has tens of millions of people, the largest in the world. With a military policy of one out of ten, it is not an exaggeration to expand the army to one million. Your Majesty

Ignore those objections. They have not experienced war, have not been to the battlefield in person, and do not know much about the general trend of the world."

Xun You said: "Wang Shangshu's words are reasonable, but I think the ministers are worried that the national treasury is too empty to spend huge military expenditures. Even if national bonds are issued, it can only meet the urgent needs. However, for the huge military expenditures of 700,000 people, it is impossible to

Given our country's current situation, it is indeed difficult to maintain it for a long time, and issuing national bonds is only a means of temporarily raising money. Once the national bonds mature, they still have to be repaid with interest.

I think that the emperor can reduce some of the troops in name and let them work on the spot. When the farming is busy, they will be busy with farm work. When the farming is slack, they will strengthen training to ensure production and training. I think that the emperor can use the newly recruited 100,000

The Dongyi soldiers are used as a pilot project. After all, Xianbei is far away in Mobei and it is difficult to rise for a while. The northern border is also relatively peaceful. If 100,000 Dongyi soldiers work as farmers on the spot, the Hetao area can also be developed to a certain extent."

After Gao Fei heard Xun You's suggestion, he was very satisfied. Isn't this the militia? He laughed and had to admire Xun You's resourcefulness for being so advanced. He immediately nodded and said: "Xun Aiqing's words made me enlightened.

.My dear friends, please go back and rest. I will personally issue the imperial edict during the court meeting tomorrow morning."

"Your Majesty, please retire!" Xun You and Wang Wenjun said in unison.

The next day, before dawn, people were coming and going in the capital. Many people went to the palace in carriages because Luoyang city was so big.

Regarding the construction of Luoyang City, it must be worth mentioning here.

The city of Luoyang built by the scholar Sun Rui was even larger than Jicheng, three times the size of Jicheng. Such a huge capital city, twenty miles from east to west and thirty miles from southeast to north, seemed to be the first city of that era.

Big city.

Of course, in order to build this capital, Shisun Rui also became a sinner of the country. The cost was huge and the construction period was short. This majestic Luoyang City was built with money. The emptiness of the national treasury and Shisun Rui

The initial construction design was directly related to the fact that halfway through the construction of the capital, the treasury could no longer provide any money. The last part was built by Shisun Rui himself.

Even so, after the construction of the capital was completed, Shisun Rui not only did not get the promotion he deserved, but was jointly impeached by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, directly describing Shisun Rui as a sinner of the country. What is Shisun Rui called?

It was an injustice, but it was indeed him who did this. From the design and construction to the start of the construction, and then the subsequent completion, it took a year, and the city of Luoyang, which cost hundreds of millions, seemed to have become something he would never be able to turn over in his life.

After being impeached, the scholar Sun Rui was deprived of his title by Gao Fei and demoted to the common people. The wealthy scholar Sun Rui also vomited blood and died because of this. His son, the scholar Sun You, was so angry that he openly rebelled in Yunzhou and wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Looking at the emptiness in the north, they stole the city and invaded Jicheng. As a result, they were captured by the guards before they could start an uprising.

When Lu Heng found out, he was directly captured by Lu Heng, escorted to Jicheng, and handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for trial. Finally, the Ministry of Punishment made a verdict and ordered Sun You to be executed for treason, and all the property of the Sun family was confiscated.

Three hundred and sixty-seven people were obtained, no matter old or young, they were all slaughtered!

Unfortunately, from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the early years of the Huaxia Kingdom, the richest man in the country, the business genius Sun Rui, died just like that, and no one in the entire Shisun family survived.

Later, Gao Fei thought that the Ministry of Punishment had gone too far, so he scolded Wang Lie, the Minister of Punishment, and deducted one month's salary from Wang Lie. In fact, the Shisunrui family relied on their wealth to help financially to a large extent.

Gao Fei founded the country, so that the entire family became domineering in Jicheng, especially Shi Sunyou, who was even more arrogant.

After Taishi Ci stayed in Lingzhou, Shisun You became the guard of Yunzhou, and also did some bad things in Yunzhou. In addition, the entire Shisun family basically bullied men and dominated women, so that the whole family was full of

Chao Wenwu hated him so much that no one came out to speak for him when it came to dealing with Shisun Rui.

The Shisun family brought the blame on themselves, and no one else can blame them. Those as powerful as Jia Xu and as noble as Cai Yong have never been so domineering.

Later, Gao Fei believed that many people in the Shisunrui family had died unjustly and that there was too much resentment in Jicheng. Luoyang City had just been completed, so he hastily ordered the capital to be moved to Luoyang.

At the fifth watch, all the civil and military officials from the imperial palace were present. Everyone exchanged greetings with each other, and then they lined up in rows according to their official ranks and waited there quietly, waiting for their emperor to give them an answer today.

.

After a while, Gao Fei wore a dragon crown, a dragon robe, and dragon boots. He looked like a majestic figure of ninety-five years. Under the protection of Zhu Gongdao and Zhu Gongping, he climbed into the main hall and sat on the dragon throne.

Sitting on the chair, overlooking the crowd.

Immediately, Zhu Gongping shouted loudly: "Promote to the court! If you have the foundation, you will play early, if you don't have the foundation, you will retreat!"

As soon as Zhu Gongping's voice fell, Tian Feng walked out of the queue first, and after completing the etiquette towards Gao Fei, he said: "I, Prime Minister Tian Feng of the Senate, have something to report!"
