When the group blind date show in Xinhua City was staged, five hundred miles to the southwest, within the territory of the original Wei clan Korea.
A team composed of soldiers and civilians arrived at the final destination after a long journey.
"From now on, this place will be called Xiliu Fort!" A young nobleman held a rolling military flag with a head showing teeth and claws. He placed it on a hill here, clapped his hands, and proudly looked to the left and right.
explain.
Two men who looked like retainers from the look of their clothes stood on either side of the noble young master and complimented him: "Young Master is wise!"
The noble prince laughed proudly and scolded these two bastards: "What are you doing standing around here? Go and get Kanyu with me!"
Soon, a paper map was spread out in front of the young nobleman.
"The place is not bad!" Your Excellency said, "It's just a bit desolate..."
"My father ordered me to come here to serve as the garrison commander. I have to make some achievements, lest people keep saying that the father of a tiger is a dog and a son of a dog!" the noble prince murmured.
He has a great background.
His surname is Zhou Mingce.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yafu, the Marquis of Changping, was his father.
Therefore, the Prime Minister and the founding Taiwei were his grandfathers.
Logically speaking, a noble man like him, who was born with a golden key in his mouth, does not need to take risks and come to this bitter cold new land to endure hardships.
Zhou Ce could have lived in Chang'an and waited for death, even bullying men and dominating women.
As long as he doesn't seek death, no one can touch him.
But the problem is that the old Zhou family has its own hidden dangers!
First of all, Zhou Ce is not the eldest son.
He also has an elder brother above him. If nothing unexpected happens, the only one who can inherit the title of Marquis of Changping, Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, in the future will be his elder brother.
Originally, it was just like this. Then it didn't matter.
But it happened that when Zhou Yafu made a triumphant return to his army, the emperor used his military achievements to seal thousands of households. He was granted the title of Marquis of Changping.
However, the feudal state still remains.
This is a problem.
Zhou Ce has four brothers, so the eldest brother naturally cannot and will not compete for the 8,100 households.
The remaining three brothers all have a chance.
That's not all.
According to legal principles, strong contenders for the title of marquis and feudal states are not limited to Zhou Ce's brothers.
His cousins also have opportunities, and great opportunities!
As we all know, Zhou Ce's grandfather Jianghou Zhou Bo had three sons.
The eldest son Shengzhi, the second son Jian, and the youngest son Yafu.
Initially, the eldest son Zhou Shengzhi, who was Zhou Ce’s eldest uncle, inherited the title of Marquis Jiang.
At that time, Zhou Ce's father could only find his own way out. He enlisted the help of his father's Yu Meng to join the army and later became the governor of Hedong County.
However, in the spring of Zhou Yafu's second year as the governor of Hedong County, Zhou Ce's eldest uncle Zhou Shengzhi committed murder and was deposed and sealed.
Therefore, a great gift was sent from heaven, and Zhou Yafu was able to become a feudal lord of the Han Dynasty without making any achievements, and he was also the top lord of the Han Dynasty with more than 8,000 households.
But the problem is that according to the order of seniority, Zhou Jian should inherit the title of Jianghou.
No matter what happens, Zhou Yafu, who has a young son and is born as a concubine, can’t get his turn!
However, this matter was decided by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen. No matter how much Zhou Jian refused to accept it, he could only accept it, and even had to pretend to be "brother humble and respectful".
Then here comes the problem.
The title of 'Jianghou' was given to the younger brother by the elder brother without saying a word.
Now, brother, you have two feudal states.
Should I give one back?
Ji Zi of Yanling is certainly a good story in the history books, but the four brothers who were used as background and personality charm by Young Master Ji Zha may not be so easy to bear.
Anyway, Zhou Ce felt that if he didn't make some efforts, it was very likely that his father would ask the emperor to return the title of "Tiaohou" and the title of "Tiaohou" inherited from Jianghou to his second uncle's lineage.
.
And the emperor will certainly not refuse such a good story to appear.
What's even more troublesome is Zhou Ce's uncle.
As the founding prince of the Han Dynasty, the prince of the prime minister who was responsible for setting up the cauldron and ushering in the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Shengzhi's feudal title and title were abolished.
But the problem is, the centipede is dead but not stiff.
The feudal title has been abolished, but people still have connections.
At the beginning, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen used prostitution to choose a husband for his precious daughter, the eldest princess Liu.
Zhou Shengzhi was the candidate. For this reason, Zhou Shengzhi even got into fights with others and became jealous, causing a commotion in Chang'an.
Although in the end Zhou Shengzhi was defeated miserably by Chen Wu, the Tangyi Hou who he said was "the son of Chengdan after the second minister".
However, Zhou Shengzhi's efforts were not without reward.
As a consolation prize, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen married off a princess.
Moreover, the biological mother of this princess had a very good relationship with the current Empress Dowager of the East Palace.
What's more important is that he died of illness long before Taizong succeeded to the throne!
What's more, the princess also died of illness before the late emperor ascended the throne.
Only one son and two daughters were left.
Well, since the Empress Dowager Donggong suffered from eye disease, she has become more nostalgic and missed her old friends more and more.
Zhou Ce's cousin, taking advantage of this east wind, often visited the East Palace and was favored by the Empress Dowager.
Last year, he was specially appointed by the Empress Dowager as the Wei Cheng of the East Palace. In April this summer, he was transferred to the position of Ganquan Wei.
In fact, he just wanted to find a way to provide benefits to his old friend in the future. Everyone knows that Zhou Ce's dear cousin has never gone to work at all. He spends every day chatting with the Empress Dowager of the East Palace and the eldest princess.
, Flattered with all his might.
This creates a problem.
If the Empress Dowager of the East Palace suddenly felt that this child was pitiful, the Ai family would feel really sad to see it, so she would turn to the emperor and say a few words. Then the emperor had no choice but to go back to Zhou Ce's father and say a few words.
Zhou Ce's father, unable to withstand such pressure, would most likely choose to return the title and title of Marquis Tiao to Zhou Shengzhi's descendants.
The possibility of this is very high!
Under the pressure of the above two reasons, even the most dandy and useless guy in Chang'an City knows that if he doesn't work hard, his father will kick his legs and he will say goodbye to glory and wealth.
Of course Zhou Ce is not some useless snack. He is a playboy.
In fact, the old Zhou family grew up in the army.
Although their living conditions are favorable, the Zhou Ce brothers have not given up on training themselves.
Zhou Ce, who is twenty years old this year, is extremely tall. He is almost as tall as his father. He is almost seven feet two inches tall and has a strong body. He can ride a horse, draw a bow, and shoot arrows.
That is to say, Zhou Ce's father, Zhou Yafu, has too high a vision and thinks that his sons are just useless snacks and not like himself.
In fact, the four Zhou Ce brothers are much better than the sons of other princes.
At least, it's above average.
Therefore, except for the boss Zhou Tao who is sitting firmly on Diaoyutai and staying in Chang'an.
The remaining three have already begun to take action, using their ingenuity to fight for their future.
After much thought, Zhou Ce decided to follow the Xiliu Camp Reclamation Regiment. He came to Korea and made great achievements.
Although the father didn't say it in words, he was still very happy in his heart that his son was so wise.
Therefore, Zhou Ce received the greatest support from his father in his life.
Seven retainers who had followed Nai's father to conquer the world, and more than twenty domestic slaves of the Zhou family, were sent by him to assist Zhou Ce.
Except for the two sycophants who grew up with Zhou Ce, the rest of them are all talents with their own specialties and specialties.
Some are accountants who are good at calculation; some are engineers who are good at construction; there are retainers who have helped Zhou Yafu manage the feudal country; and there are even ministers who have been farming for many years and are good at farming.
In addition, the Shaofu is also very considerate.
Three agricultural officers and a messenger were sent to communicate and deliver information.
When Shao Junhou went out to do business, Xiliu Camp also paid great attention to it. A whole team of soldiers were directly transferred from the active army to be responsible for protecting Shao Junhou and assisting Shao Junhou in his settlement.
Even the captain of Xiliu Tun was chosen to be the captain who was always close to Zhou Ce.
Of course, Zhou Ce also understood.
If he achieves results here, then everything will be easy.
Dad will definitely not hesitate to give him greater support.
Although the father who controls the prime minister's palace and the national treasury generally does not use public services to benefit private interests, the emperor would be shocked if he tried to use public services to benefit private interests.
However, as long as he does not show the corresponding ability, he may even mess up the matter.
Zhou Ce also firmly believed that the transfer order from Chang'an would arrive here quickly. Then, the retainers and soldiers who were now ordered to protect and assist him would immediately turn against him and take him back to Chang'an, where he would be under house arrest and grounded.
Zhou Ce is very clear about his father's character.
The great Han military god, Changpinghou Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, was a stubborn old man who wanted to save face.
Looking at the map, Zhou Ce quickly selected the future Xiliu Village, the site where Xiliu Fort, which he named, would be built.
It was on the plain in front of a river beach ten miles ahead.
It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the conditions are very good. It is a very livable place, and it is close to water sources, which can also facilitate agricultural production. More importantly, there is a Korean tribe thirty miles away.
According to intelligence, there are more than 7,000 people in that tribe.
This means that Zhou Ce can use his status to get help from the tribe.
Thinking like this, Zhou Ce said to the two flatterers beside him: "Have the envoys sent to summon the Korean tribe come back?"
As for whether the tribe would reject his request, Zhou Ce had never considered this issue.
Because just two hundred miles away in the old capital of North Korea, now called Pyongyang, and in the past called Wangxian City, there was an army of 10,000 commanded by Zhang Yu stationed.
The future king of Korea, Liu Ming, a Chinese clan member from the Liang Kingdom, was also preparing to come to the country.
The entire Korean Kingdom has become an integral part of the Han Dynasty.
Korean people will naturally become Chinese people.
Such a backward system as the so-called tribes is destined to be abolished and replaced by the county system.
Under the Chinese sword, the Korean tribes and their commanders had no choice.
"Young Lord, you should be back soon..." A bitch said with a smile: "How about I go take a look?"
"Well, let's go!" Zhou Ce waved his hand, these two henchmen were just here to take care of his daily life.
To really get things done, you still have to rely on those capable retainers.
Zhou Ce then gathered all the retainers whose father had given him to him. Everyone gathered around the map and looked at it.
The land allocated to Xiliuying for reclamation is quite large.
With one stroke, the ministers of Lantai included all the land of more than a hundred miles nearby.
Although, this place is far inferior to the sacred land in China.
But in the eyes of many people, it’s pretty good.
At the very least, it's much better than that place in Shangjun.
Not to mention, there is a river flowing through Xiliutun, so irrigation is absolutely no problem.
only……
A retainer looked at the map and then looked up at the surrounding geography. He frowned slightly and said, "This Wei family is really a waste. They have such good land and don't build channels or roads. They really deserve to die."
!”
It is true that in China, such geomantic treasures have long been filled with channels and crops planted by farmers.
But in North Korea, it's all desolate.
Even traces of human activities are rare.
However, this is normal in North Korea.
After the fall of Korea, the Wei clan who usurped the country claimed to be "being sent to the left" and became a barbarian. They completely abandoned everything in the past and fully followed the Huns in all aspects of culture and life.
This became the trigger for the demise of Wei's Korea.
What people hate most today are traitors who forget their ancestors and betray their ancestors.
The Wei family has now passed away. The Wei family has been killed and imprisoned, and all the nobles in the country have been escorted to Chang'an.
This land was entirely controlled by the Han Dynasty, and the straight road extended from Liaodong County to Pyongyang.
It is said that in the future, ports will be built and fleets will be stationed in the waters west of Pyongyang to connect North Korea with Qilu by ships.
Zhou Ce heard about it, and the emperor seemed to intend to move a branch of the Kong family from Lu to Pyongyang, North Korea, to educate the North Korean people.
Just hearing the news from Weiyang Palace, the emperor seemed to be hesitant and never made up his mind. He seemed to be worried that someone would say that Confucius was Korean two thousand years later.
Zhou Ce didn't quite understand why the emperor was worried about Korea.
Korea would have perished a long time ago, okay?
As for the stick, what is it?
Thinking of these things, Zhou Ce smiled and said to everyone: "We are here to colonize the land, just to turn this barbarian land into Chinese land, just like Wu Taibo and Jiang Taigong did before, turning barbarians into summer.
Thousands of years later, our descendants can thrive here!"
"If you don't plan for the future, you won't be able to plan for the future. Please give me a helping hand to build this Xiliu Fort into the east of the Korean River and the south of the east!" Zhou Ce bowed deeply to everyone and bowed.
If it were just to build a town, Zhou Ce would not appear here at all.
His heart is big, very big.
He wants to build a new Hedong and a new Nanyang from scratch here.
Let everyone admire him.
Everyone was excited after hearing this.
Taibo Wu and Taigong Jiang are both heroes in history books, and they are also virtuous kings and sages respected by the emperor today.
The two of them moved east and south, turning the original land of Yi and Di into the land of Zhuxia.
The merit lies in the present time and the benefit lies in the future.
Under the propaganda of the imperial court, the "educational plot" of the scholar-bureaucrats suddenly broke out.
During this time of settlement, many people took the initiative to apply for work or even recommended themselves. (To be continued.)
