"This is the seal of the Governor of Xihe. With this, you can transfer the people to the professions you need. This is the seal and ribbon of General Xuande. This is your edict of title. From today on, you will be my capital.
The Marquis has a food town for 200 households. This is the largest food town that Dutinghou can enjoy. You have to remember that these are His Majesty's grace. You must do things well for His Majesty and don't do it half-heartedly."
"I will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations and serve His Majesty till the end of my life."
The conversation with Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty did not take long. Although the process seemed like a roller coaster ride, it was generally not bad. Li Shushi and Liu Hong, two "hurting people", discussed together about economic inclusion and differentiation.
Although I don’t know how effective human methods are, Liu Hong also said that the tax on Xihe can be met for five years. Anyway, the money the government spends there on weekdays is much more than the little tax collected, otherwise the DPRK and China will not
There cannot always be proposals to abandon certain areas.
Although Li Shushi still wanted to talk to Liu Hong about the issue of state animal husbandry, considering that this thing is too sensitive, after all, those military governors and military governors in later generations are difficult to compare with, and their power is second only to
A group of princes who were enfeoffed by the Emperor of Zhou. Liu Yan dared to propose this bill because at that time Yizhou and Yizhou
One of the two governors of Liangzhou nearby was killed and the other was almost killed, so Liu Yan relied on real evidence, and his reputation among the scholars was quite good. However, knowledgeable people still regarded him as
You were the chief culprit for the demise of the Han Dynasty, let alone a grassroots like Li Shushi with no foundation.
Finally, under Zhao Zhong's "Yin Yin" instructions, Li Shushi left Liu Hong's temporary residence. Although he was knocked out of many good things by Liu Hong, it is undeniable that Liu Hong also made it clear that as long as he did a good job
, he can come up with enough things to reward himself. And based on Liu Hong's credibility, Li Shushi doesn't have to worry about him turning his back later.
So Li Shushi also chose the most famous sentence of Prime Minister Zhuge as his response. Should it be said that it is indeed a famous saying that can be passed down through the ages? Anyway, Zhao Zhong looked at Li Shushi after listening to his eyes, which was a little soft and made Li Shushi tremble. Zhao Zhong simply couldn't do it.
He was an eunuch and had lost the ability to attack, so Li Shushi didn't have to worry about being pushed over.
The only thing you need to worry about is probably how to complete the task. You must know that the problem in the north has troubled the Han Dynasty court for many years. Especially in the northwest of Bingzhou, because it is either a mountainous area that cannot be farmed, or it is a grassland desert that has become a horse-riding Hu.
The world is man's. In other words, when facing a group of "mechanized" troops on the plains, you can use bunkers, barbed wire and trenches to reduce the opponent's speed to the same as yours, and then use your rich experience in infantry combat to defeat them.
But the problem is that it takes money to pull up the blockade and maintain it, not to mention the problem of supply lines. In addition, the cold climate in the north and the sparse population due to the bad climate will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of completing the goal. Not to mention
Nowadays, the winter in Dahan is getting colder year by year. At least Li Shushi heard that the river in the northeast part of the river is already showing signs of freezing.
Therefore, if you want to gain a foothold in the north, how to spend the winter is very important. Li Shushi has already proposed to Liu Hong about looking for a white ornamental plant in the Western Regions and the tributes provided to the Han Dynasty by the Western Regions. Its flowers are milky white.
Or pink, it bears fruit after the flowers fade, and the fruit is a white ornamental flower. Yes, this is a strategic cold-resistant material-cotton.
Liu Hong said he could help, but at the same time asked Li Shushi that if that thing could really resist the cold, he would ask for a 40% share when he opened a workshop to make money in the future. Obviously Liu Hong was also deeply touched by Li Shushi's endless new money-making gadgets.
.
With the fire bed, cotton, and the purchase of animal furs from the barbarians, Li Shushi could ensure that the combat effectiveness of his army would not suffer non-combat attrition in cold weather.
Although Asian cotton has the lowest yield among all cotton varieties and is not suitable for machine spinning due to fiber length and toughness, even if the processed cotton is directly stuffed into clothes, the thermal insulation effect can be compared with expensive leather.
.Not to mention that due to the population size, artificial cotton is believed to be enough to meet market demand.
The rest is left to the army to open up the situation, and Li Shushi believes that with Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, he will not suffer; with Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, he can dare to compete head-on with those barbarians. Not to mention that there are still
A Tong Yuan is holding the battle for him. Although the old man's physical endurance is not that of a young man, his skills, experience and physical fitness are at the level of a nuclear bomb.
"Liu Hong, Liu Hong, this time we must make you willing to give us a promotion. By then we will run the import and export trade, build infrastructure and education, and maybe we will be a figure that will be passed down through the ages.
Maybe in the future Yan Laoxi and his ilk should take us as their ideal and role model."
"How do you feel about that emperor? Is he as fatuous as the legend?" Because from giving a banquet to having a glimpse alone, no one except Li Shushi had the qualifications. As I learned on the school field that the young man who appeared in the morning was the current big man.
Emperor, but either I didn't feel anything after watching it from a distance, or his acting skills in private interviews were not top-notch, so everyone wanted to know through Li Shushi whether this infamous emperor really lived up to his name.
"Since everyone is so interested, let me tell you a story that His Majesty himself admitted. His Majesty once asked his attendant Yang Qi: 'Who is more virtuous between me and Emperor Huan?' As a result, Yang Qi replied: 'Your Majesty
To Emperor Huan, he was like Yu and Shun compared to Tang Yao.
Our Majesty was so depressed, but he just replied: "Your strength is that the true descendants of Yang Zhen will become great birds again after death." And Yang Qi is alive and well now. So, I
I think he is not a tyrant, but at most a coward."
"What does 'I will reborn as a big bird after death' mean? Is it a threat?" Curious Baby Zhao Yun asked as he didn't understand.
"Haha, I know this. This is the story of Yang Qi's great-grandfather Yang Zhengong. It is said that Yang Gong was nicknamed 'Guanxi Master Yang Boqi' and worked as a teacher for half his life. He did not become an official until he was in his fifties. But.
Because he was an upright man, he was framed by an eunuch and had to drink poison to die. Originally, this was not considered a crime.
What a big deal, but strangely, after the death of Duke Yang, there were countless big birds about ten feet tall sitting on top of Duke Yang's mausoleum. They looked down and screamed sadly, and shed tears on the ground. They didn't fly again until the funeral was over and Duke Yang was laid to rest.
When he left, people were very surprised, thinking that this was a warning from God. Therefore, Duke Yang’s injustice was vindicated."
In fact, speaking of Yang Qi, he is really a very interesting person. His greatest achievements in his life are two things. One is that he dared to speak frankly when faced with the inquiry of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong. Although he said it very euphemistically,
Wouldn't it be more depressing to curse people around the corner? But in the end, he got the nickname of "Strength Order", and Ling Emperor Liu Hong also added one of the few bright spots in his ruling career. I don't know if I should say this is
"To each according to his needs".
Another thing is that this man provided a set of good chromosomes. Then he inherited a strong man, his tenth grandson, the founding hero of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, who was called the "Saint Khan" by Westerners. Of course
Yeah, the one who beat the Central Plains
Yang Guang, the tyrant of the Sui Dynasty who opened up the territory of northwest China, is his eleventh generation grandson. Although there are no worthy descendants after that, having this father and son as descendants is enough to make Yang Guang
Qi boasted about it underground.
"So did you get any bargains this time?"
Compared with everyone's endless gossip, a certain little loli was completely dismissive of this. Perhaps in her view, those emperors and generals were just passing clouds and nothing significant. Although this Liu Hong
The greed for money is the best
, but which emperor doesn’t have some small hobbies? However, some emperors can control themselves or sacrifice their hobbies for a larger goal, and this Liu Hong can only sacrifice some of his hobbies for his own hobbies.
Just some ideals.
So she was more concerned about the future of Li Shushi, a guy who was closely related to her. She would be better off if he was good. But having said that, Li Shushi really felt a little worried about letting such a delicate little girl accompany Li Shushi to Xihe to endure hardships and suffer.
Touched. Of course, you can only keep these words in your heart, otherwise a certain little loli will definitely raise her head and give him a look like "You can't do it without me, right?". If there is another fox on her butt
The tail must be flapping and flapping non-stop.
"The governor of Xihe, General Xuande, the Dutinghou of 200 households in the city, and the power to make decisions at the last moment. In short, as long as those barbarians don't join the troubled Xiqiang, the mission will be completed. If the grassland can be calmed down, it will be great
If there is a reward, it will not be easy to complete this task, and I'm afraid it will take a long time, so we will discuss the details at that time."
"Congratulations, my lord, on the title of general." Xu Chu rarely showed his cleverness. Apparently after hearing this reward, the heart that had been worried about his future was finally at peace, and he could even consider recruiting the family's children.
batch,
We must know that since the founding of the Han Dynasty, except for Xiao He, who was engaged in logistics, and for some reason, the rest was basically accumulated by the military exploits of swords and guns. And Li Shushi, who went north, would there be no battles to fight? Xu Chucai
Don't believe it.
"Congratulations, my lord, on the title of marquis and general." This was everyone's heartfelt congratulations, because from this moment on, they, a group of people who originally had the title of "traitors", could finally enter the bureaucracy of the Han Dynasty with dignity.
, the thick fog that had been covering their hearts finally completely dissipated at this moment, and everyone had an expression of joy on their faces.
"Is there anything else?" Looking at the group of people hugging each other and celebrating, Su Xiaololi quietly approached Li Shushi and asked.
"We are allowed to recruit troops at will, as long as we can afford them, but the court will not share our military expenses."
"Does that mean you have to spit out everything you eat?"
Su Xiaoluoli also expected such a situation. He was not a rookie like Li Shushi who didn't know anything.
"That's not necessarily the case." Li Shushi answered very confidently.
