In the eleventh year of Jianning, the imperial court began to use Liu Hong's new calendar, and incorporated some of his basic arithmetic into official school, requiring both scholars and young children to learn it. Liu Hong's prestige suddenly increased, and the emperor's
The talk about arithmetic also spread from this time. However, whenever a minister in the court wanted to discuss arithmetic with the emperor, the emperor would feel a little unwell.
When sending Liu Hong away from Luoyang, the emperor was undoubtedly very excited!
Farewell!
I hope you can stay healthy and happy outside Luoyang for the rest of your life and continue to shine for the Han Dynasty.
After Liu Hong left, the Emperor had a good meal, and even stayed in Empress Song's Yongning Palace for three full days. It was just three days, because after three days, Wang Fu came back, and the Emperor sighed helplessly,
I have just sent away one of them, but after the death of the important ministers such as He Xiu, Wang Fu undoubtedly became the leader of the officials of the Han Dynasty, although the officials did not agree with this.
He is currently considered the sharpest sword in Liu Hong's hand.
When Wang Fu arrived in Luoyang, another round of storm naturally arose. From the moment he entered the Sili area, he encountered no less than six assassinations. Even the Embroidered Clothes Envoy's Mansion captured by Zhang He was overcrowded. These people
They all cried and complained that they would rather have their heads cut off than to eliminate thieves for the country. In this regard, Wang Fu just said disdainfully: "Today's knights and knights are really weak. They stabbed themselves six times in a row, but they couldn't hurt themselves. Instead of coming,
Instead of assassinating yourself, it’s better to become an embroidered messenger!”
Zhang He: "..."
On the third day when Wang Fu arrived in Luoyang, he had no choice but to receive the minister whom he least wanted to see. It was still the same family banquet, because if he was received by the court, all the officials would attack him. The emperor wanted to
He knew some things that he couldn't ask. After walking into the familiar hall, Wang Fu sighed, he hadn't come back for several years and the emperor still hadn't renovated the palace. It can be seen that although the emperor was fatter, he was still wise.
The emperor frowned and sat at the banquet. Wang Fu came in, bowed to the emperor, and said: "My lord, pay homage to the emperor!"
"Well..." The emperor gave him a cold look and said, "Sit down."
Wang Fu sat opposite the Emperor with a calm expression. He was not frightened or upset because of the Emperor's attitude. This is what the Emperor was angry about. As a minister, why are you not afraid of the Emperor? Liu Hong asked indifferently.
: "I heard that you encountered assassins many times on the road?"
"It is indeed true. Therefore, I want to impeach Liu Biao, the captain of the Sili school. Although this person is a descendant of the clan, he has no talent at all. Assassins and assassins are rampant in the Sili area, but he cannot stop him..." Wang Fu said.
"Before you came, there had never been an assassination in the Sili area..."
"In addition, I want to impeach Zhang He. This guy is the messenger of Xiuyi, but he is mediocre and incompetent. He only shows up after the assassin is subdued and takes him away. He has no ability to distinguish between good and evil..."
The emperor's face twitched and he sneered a few times.
"You have governed Yangzhou well in the past few years. Yangzhou is also a land of good harvests. The people are prosperous and the officials are responsible for the rule of the Ming Dynasty. After hearing this, I was really happy. However, you went to sea privately and detained Zhang Jiao. I heard that you also plundered slaves.
Exchanging gold, I don’t understand why..."
"Your Majesty doesn't know that this overseas land is very fertile. Not long ago, Zhang Jiao found an island. On this island, there are salt fields all over, which can be used by Yangzhou for decades and cannot be exploited. However, the barbarians in the south are ignorant.
I am ignorant and ignorant of etiquette. I can exchange a lot of slaves, gold and other items with some scraps of copper and iron, so why not do it?"
Wang Fu said, and a rough map escaped from his arms. This was exactly the sea map. Wang Fu pointed at the sea map and said: "This is the sea map of the Han Dynasty's coast that I have just spent countless human and financial resources on." , This is Yangzhou, this is a large island, the size of several counties, it is deserted and uninhabited, and some of the indigenous people do not know how to smelt iron. If we work here, millions of people can survive!"
"The few islands here produce all kinds of fruits, salt, ores, etc., which are extremely rich. No people have been found..."
"I will call the big island Yi Island, and call these islands...Jianning Islands..." Wang Fu said seriously, pointed to another place, and said: "This is the island under our Han Jiaozhou." The counties and counties can be reached here starting from Yangzhou, crossing Da Dao, and then crossing the South China Sea. Compared with the land route, the journey is shortened by two months. In addition, below this is a barbarian country with rich products. ...He is no match for my big man..."
The emperor listened to him and gradually became fascinated. Looking at the sea map, he had never thought that there was such a place overseas, especially the Jianning Islands. The emperor was even more delighted. He asked with some doubts ; "Do you want to turn this island into the land of the Han Dynasty?"
"Where in the world is not the land of the Han Dynasty?" Wang Fu pointed to the big island and said: "I think that there is no need to pay attention to the matter of the big island at the moment. We only need to establish military strongholds here to make The ships of the Han Dynasty can rest here and return on the way. In the future, when there are many people in the Han Dynasty and there is not enough farmland, they can fully develop this island..."
Wang Fu put forward his huge idea. His idea was to establish strongholds of the Han Dynasty in various overseas places, which could conduct transactions, force people into the palace, and even control these areas from overseas. He proposed that for the South Some small countries on the islands can be destroyed by the soldiers of a few fleets of the Han Dynasty. Yangzhou and other important places in the south are in need of manpower, and this is the best place to produce slaves.
The Han Dynasty has always been a slave country, and all officials are slave-owners, including the emperor, who is the largest slave owner in the country! Every Han man is eager for slaves and servants, and many people spend all their money and try their best to keep slaves. If slaves could be brought from overseas in a big way, it would be a great thing for the big man. The emperor suddenly laughed.
"This Dongyi Islands has previously paid tribute to the Han Dynasty, mostly gold and silver. It can be seen that this place must produce gold and other items. Even if it does not, they still have ways to obtain these. If docks are set up from Liaodong, Lelang County and other areas, they will definitely It’s rewarding…”
That day, Wang Fu and the emperor chatted for several hours. The emperor was extremely happy to send Wang Fu away, and did not even blame him for his crimes. Wang Fu is a true genius. The position of Situ belongs to you. Got it!
The next day, during the court meeting.
When Wang Fu appeared in the hall and even stood in the frontmost position, all the officials stared at him fiercely. Only when he heard that Wang Fu was coming, he was extremely happy and stepped forward to pay homage to him. The two of them sat down In one place, they were chatting very happily. As the two of them chatted, Wang Fu took out a map from his arms and didn't know what he said to Wen Renxi. He talked for a long time.
The ministers didn't know what Wang Fu said to Wen Renxi. They only knew that after hearing Wang Fu's remarks, Wen Renxi's eyes shone with an extremely fiery light. He couldn't sit still and was so excited. He almost jumped up, but Wang Fu held him back and kept him from losing his composure.
When the emperor walked into the hall, he saw those blazing eyes.
Looking at the Wang Fu next to him, the emperor roughly knew why Wen Renxi looked like this.
Alas, my big man, Tai Chang, was made like this by a mere piece of gold...
