After several years of construction, the Chidao from Luoyang to Xiapi was officially completed. It was even further than expected, directly connecting Sili, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places. The construction of this Chidao
After this was completed, there was a steady stream of traffic and business travel between these states. The emperor pardoned this year's travel and boat tax on the road, so there were a lot of people coming and going.
Scholars traveling and studying, heroes coming and going, merchants from various places, official officials, etc. traveled on the Chi Road. This Chi Road not only allowed the emperor's decrees to reach various places faster, but also allowed various places to develop rapidly, which could not help but make the surrounding states
The county was a little jealous, but it was Wang Fu, the governor of Yangzhou, who first proposed to build Chi Road. Yangzhou had incorporated countless mountain people and had abundant manpower, so he proposed to build it from Runan, Yuzhou, all the way to Jiujiang!
He even wanted to build Chidao in Yangzhou to connect several major counties!
He received financial support from the imperial court and manpower, so he naturally started to do it with great fanfare. At this time, many prefects of counties and counties also reported to Miaotou Nangang one after another, requesting the establishment of Chidao. When the emperor learned that Chidao was completed, he was naturally very excited.
Fortunately, such large-scale construction projects have always been a thing of the Han Dynasty. In the past hundred years, who has ever built such a long Chidao?
The next day, the court meeting began.
Wen Renxi held a book in his hand, slowly opened it, and said: "Your Majesty, the construction of Jianningchi Road has been completed. It starts from Luoyang, passes through Yanzhou, leads to Yuzhou, reaches Xuzhou, passes through 21 counties, hundreds of counties, and a long
Up to 22,083 citations! It is an unprecedented road that connects the east and west!" After speaking, he detailed the impact on the counties and cities in various places.
The emperor listened happily. After listening for a while, Qiao Xuan came forward and said: "Your Majesty, many counties and counties have submitted letters requesting that Chi Road be built again..." Before he could finish speaking, someone listening on the side said:
The man then shouted: "This year's vehicle and boat tax has been waived. Where will the imperial court get the money to build the Chi Road again??" He looked at the emperor anxiously and said: "Your Majesty, the treasury still needs to keep some money.
, just in case of unexpected events!”
Qiao Xuan said with some displeasure: "Yan Xu Ke is fine, why not Ji You?"
"The land of Yanzhao has many mountains and rivers, and Youliang is even closer to the frontier fortress. The cost of such a place is naturally more than that of Yanxu. Don't you feel at ease if you don't spend all the money in the treasury?" Wen Renxi shouted angrily.
When the little fat man heard the words, he looked at Qiao Xuan and blinked. Qiao Xuan immediately understood what the emperor meant. Hearing that someone attacked this person, he would not burst out all his wisdom until he broke the bank. The evil man who broke the bank, look at it.
He came on his own. Yuan Feng saw that the emperor and his ministers understood each other without saying a word, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious. Qiao Xuan was quite old, so he always had a chance!
He comforted himself in his heart.
Qiao Xuan sneered and said: "The land of green and thorns is also full of mountains and rivers?"
"Mushuize!"
“The same goes for Yangzhou!”
Hearing that Ren Xi was trembling with anger, he pointed at Qiao Xuan with a fierce expression. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly said: "It's near the water, why not take a chariot?" Everyone was stunned, and he suddenly said: "In the past, when the Qin Dynasty was violent,
From Shandong to Beihe, we transported grain across the river. When we attacked South Vietnam, we also ordered Jian Lu to build a Ling Canal to connect the Xiangjiang River and Xijiang River to transport grain!"
"The Han Dynasty dug canals along the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and the people's fields along the canals could also benefit from irrigation. They also bought millet from the three auxiliary areas, Hongnong, Hedong, Shangdang, and Taiyuan, to supply the capital. If food can be used, why can't people?
?In the past, Guangwu dismissed the canal guard captain...it was because more canal transport was transported to Chang'an, but Luoyang was not short of food...There are so many channels in the world. If more rivers are opened, it will not only be Jing, Xu, but also Yi, Jing, Yang,
You can come and go freely in Yu, Xu, Yan, Yi, You, Yong and other places!!"
The more he heard about the attack, the more nervous he became. He talked about the many benefits of water transportation, and then said: "Wang Junzhiyang, I heard that he has hired a lot of boatmen, and he intends to use water to transport grain to Luoyang... If official ships are used to transport people and horse carriages , and then collect taxes, wouldn’t it be possible to make a lot of money??” He finished slowly and looked at the crowd, only to find that everyone was looking at him in a daze, and the temple was silent for a while.
The little fat man looked at him and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "If you had been born hundreds of years earlier, I'm afraid there would be no Tao Zhu anymore..."
Of course, this matter has to be left to Wen Renlai. Ever since he entered the temple, the little fat man has never been worried about money. With this person here, my treasury is solid! The little fat man praised him for a while. , just then said: "This matter will be left to you. You can discuss this matter with Wang Jun and Yuan Jun. If there is any difficulty, just raise it directly with Yuan Jun."
He looked at Yuan Feng again, and Yuan Feng nodded and said, "I should do my best."
After discussing the matter, some people began to talk about the Taiping Dao that had arisen in the North. Regarding religion, the temples of the Han Dynasty had never interfered, but most kings still liked Dao and longevity. Emperor Xiaohuan was even more chaotic when he took office. It was a common practice to offer sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor, Laozi, Taiyi, and the pagoda at the same time, and the specifications were the same. This made the pagoda flourish, but it also contained a lot of contradictions.
For example, who is more noble, the Yellow Emperor or Lao Tzu, and what about Taiyi?
Taiping Dao worships Taiping Lord, who is actually Laozi. However, it is different from the south. The south believes that Taishang is Tao and is the origin. In the north, the system of gods is like a temple. There is Taiping Jinque Emperor, the Holy Emperor of the morning, named Taiping Zhen Taiyi Miao. The Qi Emperor, the Holy Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the Queen of the Qing Dynasty, and the other ministers include 361 ministers, officials, ministers, and other 360 people, with 36,000 subordinates, 360,000 subordinates, and hundreds of thousands of billions of people.
And this Taipingdao was not founded by Zhang Jiao, but a group of witchcraft and alchemists who made talismans, wrote books, said talismans and water incantations to cure diseases, taught patients to kowtow and think about their faults, and other methods to inspire the people. They formed a religious order and began to formulate classic documents. , as the rules for believers, this kind of classic documents include "Laozi Xiang'er Commentary", "Zhouyi Cantongqi", "One Thousand Two Hundred Official Rituals" and "Taiping Jing", etc. Now there are many believers in the north. .
Nowadays, with the rise of Xuan Feng and the formation of Yixue, even great Confucian scholars such as Zheng Xuan claim to be able to predict what will happen later. Naturally, the ideas of such alchemists are more accepted by the people. The little fat man who really knows what will happen later will be in his eyes. But they were a little angry. The officials talked for a long time, but did not come to any conclusion. Instead, they started attacking and quarreling with each other. Liu Hong directly ordered the court meeting to end and returned to the palace.
In the palace, only Xun You was by his side, guarding the emperor.
Seeing Xun You, Liu Hong thought for a while and suddenly asked: "What should we do if there is a demon who deceives the people?"
Xun You smiled, shook his head, and said: "The country is peaceful and evildoers dare not come out."
This was the same answer as He Xiu's. Liu Hong nodded, closed his eyes, and said no more words.
