After the emperor agreed to Wen Renxi's request, the dispute over whether to build the canal immediately ceased. The emperor had been in power for ten years, and his majesty and reputation completely surpassed those of the previous emperors such as Xiaohuan and others who had been in power for decades. Among the hundreds of officials, there was no
Whoever holds his head high, therefore, Wang Fu has become the most special. Perhaps it is this uniqueness that makes these officials feel so resentful towards him.
The happiest person is Dong Zhuo who is in Youzhou. Previously, because of the construction of Chidao, he became one of the ministers with the most outstanding achievements in the eight years of Jianning. The only ministers with him in the list were Lu Zhi, Yang Qiu, Wang Fu, and Cai Yong.
The important ministers, Lu Zhi and Yang Qiu, were responsible for governing the prefectures and counties, Wang Fu was responsible for his proposal and the rule of Yangzhou, and Cai Yong was naturally responsible for compiling the Stone Classics.
He can rank with these important ministers, and it is inevitable that he will move up in the future, and he achieved these political achievements very easily. He sent troops to plunder the peninsula. If the court built a canal, then this canal would definitely have to borrow manpower, and he would
Is it time for another large-scale attack on the peninsula? Although the construction of the canal on the Jizhou side is not within the scope of his responsibilities.
But if all the labor is provided by himself, then he can also gain political achievements. Dong Zhuo immediately began to rectify his soldiers and prepare to plunder the surroundings. He even brought a lot of indigenous people with him this time. These indigenous people were able to interact with each other normally.
The Han people communicated, and Dong Zhuo painstakingly told them that he was doing this to save his compatriots and to make them civilized.
The big man needs you to lead the way and find your compatriots. Only by walking on the path of saints can they see the light and hope!
The indigenous guides were very supportive of Dong Zhuo. They took the lead in leading the team and started a new expedition towards the peninsula.
The officials in Jizhou were also busy with the canal. Wen Renxi rushed here in person and began to observe on the spot. The people on both sides of the canal were also moved to surrounding areas. The efficiency of the officials is still very high today.
The great sword of the scientific merit system hangs over their heads. Nowadays, it is no longer the time when you can get promoted as long as you have high moral integrity.
If there is no political performance, it will be difficult to move forward in the officialdom.
At this moment, in He Xiu's mansion, the little fat boy who was just three years old was sent here by the soldiers. The servants in He Xiu's house were a little frightened. After all, this was the eldest son of the emperor. They really did not dare to neglect him. Although the emperor said
He looked disapproving of the eldest son, but in fact, he sent a total of three hundred guards to guard He Xiu's mansion day and night.
He Xiu frowned, with a cold face, and slowly walked out of the study. Xun You, who took the lead, saluted him and then turned to look at the prince. The prince seemed a little dissatisfied with being sent here, frowning and muttering.
He Xiu walked slowly in front of him. The two of them looked at each other like this. Xun You trembled in his heart and thought something was wrong.
The prince Bian is still young and has a naughty temperament, and Master He is the most arrogant Confucian in the Han Dynasty. Master He won't beat the prince too badly?
Xun You thought to himself.
Sure enough, seeing that the prince did not salute him, Master He slowly lowered his body and stared at the prince sharply. He suddenly stretched out his hand. Just as Xun You was about to dissuade him, he saw Master He struggling to pick up the prince, grinning.
, said gently: "Don't be afraid, Bian'er, come and eat with me! I have prepared a lot of delicious food!"
Xun You was shocked.
He was dumbfounded and saw He Xiu excitedly hugging the prince and returning to the study. The prince even argued and refused to eat on the table, so He Xiu hugged him and sat in the study to eat, doting on him. Xun You shook his head.
He shook his head and said helplessly: "I will embrace my grandson but not my son! The emperor made a miscalculation this time..."
In front of Liu Bian, Master He seemed to have changed. He was cheerful all day long. But the servants had never seen Master He's smile. Liu Bian gradually fell in love with this kind old man and stayed with him all day long.
By his side, no matter what he asked for, Master He would help him complete it with a smile, and would also take him out to play in Luoyang City every day.
Of course, when they went out, they were surrounded by groups of embroidered messengers and guards. The little fat man saw the sword on He Xiu's waist and shouted: "I want it too!" He Xiu immediately made one for him.
The small wooden sword was hung on his waist, and he said with a smile: "Bian'er, this sword is the courage of a man and the foundation of the world. If a man does not have a sword, he is no different from a foolish woman!"
After Liu Bian followed him out of the courtyard, he looked at the passers-by around him, pulled He Xiu's lapel, and shouted: "Ah, these people are no different from stupid women!"
"Some people hide their swords outside, and some people hide their swords inside."
He Xiu said, but Liu Bian frowned, not understanding what he meant. The two of them were walking on the street. Luoyang City was already crowded with people, with carriages and horses like dragons. Various vendors were selling on both sides. Such a bustling scene, why
Xiu had never seen him in Luoyang before, so he couldn't help but sigh secretly. Liu Bian, who had stayed in the palace since birth, was even more happy to be held by He Xiu and wander around Luoyang County.

Dong Zhuo's military camp didn't even have any soldiers left behind. They were all sent to the peninsula. Under the leadership of the indigenous guides, they captured many county towns, which can be regarded as county towns for the time being. These were less than one foot high and were difficult to resist.
The city wall, which was difficult for ferocious beasts, obviously could not stop the Han soldiers alone. Under Dong Zhuo's deliberate plunder, the entire peninsula was in panic.
Dong Zhuo began to migrate on a large scale to the east. Dong Zhuo captured slaves on the peninsula wantonly. Later, he was surprised to discover some caves inhabited by indigenous people on the peninsula, and there were a lot of iron mines around these caves!
After capturing tens of thousands of slaves, he returned to Youzhou in a mighty manner, divided into several groups of people, and returned one by one. After returning, he sent the previous natives to explain to them and let them know that the big man was going to
Help them instead of oppressing them. As long as they can complete the project, they can become the subjects of the Han Dynasty and no longer suffer from hunger and cold.
Dong Zhuo had just found labor here, and Wen Renxi had already finished surveying the terrain there. He borrowed a lot of officials from Wang Fu. These officials were all the ones who had followed Wang Fu in Yangzhou to build canals and water conservancy for a long time.
They are quite experienced in canal and water conservancy. With their help, Wen Renxi's survey became much easier.
This is a canal connecting Yishui and Gaotang. It flows directly from Gaotang into the river. It is a huge project, but if it is completed, it will be of great help to Hebei. It simply starts from farming, all the way to transportation, and to the country.
Controlling these areas is of great benefit. Cai Yong also lent him some imperial students to assume official positions as Wen Renxi's helpers.
The construction of the canal is about to begin, but the Yuewen Division has been officially completed. For this kind of cultural event, the attitudes of the officials are completely different. They are very supportive, initially in Luoyang, Xiangyang, Ruyang, and Ye
, Xiapi, Jiangxia, Wu, Chang'an, Chengdu, and Hanzhong counties established Yuewen departments. In these Yuewen departments, there are copies of the Jianning Stone Classics.
It also lists many ancient works and ancient books. As soon as it was completed, it was praised by local scholars and the guards in charge of the garrison were a little exhausted.
