After reviewing Liu Mastiff's recent studies, Yuan Shu asked him to go back to the house to rest. Yuan Shu was still very satisfied with Liu Mastiff's studies. It seemed that he did not relax after he left. However, for Liu Mastiff's studies, Yuan Shu
His character is still a little helpless. He knows that it is difficult for a weak person to govern such a huge country well.
He sat in the study, pondered for a long time, and took out the letter Yuan Shao gave him from the package. After meeting Yuan Shao in Youzhou, Yuan Shao handed the letter to him and ordered him to read it.
After that, it was destroyed immediately. Yuan Shu did not understand what happened that prevented Yuan Shao from telling him personally and made it so mysterious. He took out the letter and Yuan Shu read it casually.
After just looking at it for a moment, Yuan Shu slammed the letter onto the document with a gloomy look on his face.
He frowned and thought for a long time before he recovered. He picked up the letter in front of him and tore it into pieces. He stood up, opened the door, walked out of the study, and came to the courtyard. Yuan Shu took advantage of it.
Sitting down in the cold wind, the wind blew away the sweat on his forehead. Yuan Shu turned around, looked at the room where Liu Mastiff was, and fell silent.
Hongdu Menxue was established during the period of Emperor Xiaokang, and it cannot be called an academy. Emperor Xiaokang loved poetry and Fu, so he established Hongdu Menxue. Most of the scribes gathered here to write poems and poems, which can be regarded as an academic institution.
The literary style of Jianning began. In the later period, Emperor Xiaokang established a new calligraphy and painting department here, and it became the place where the literary style was nurtured.
But in the Xiping period, today's emperor did not like poetry, and even he was not very interested in calligraphy and painting. More, he liked those weird things and lingered on them, among them, such as Hu chairs, Hu chairs, etc.
Tables and the like have become the most common things in the palace. Of course, no one in the palace dares to call them that.
Just because the emperor gave them new names, Xiping chairs and Xiping tables.
However, the scholars of the Han Dynasty were not very able to look down on these new things that were born out of barbarism. The Han Dynasty was not very opposed to these things. The culture of the Han Dynasty had a strong spirit of tolerance. Even the Xiongnu and Wuhuan were included.
What about these things that big men tolerate? However, tolerance is one thing. If they are asked to give up their original habits and use these things, they are not willing to do so.
Although the emperor did not force the scholars, he still had orders for the officials to get used to these things. No matter where they came from, as long as they were beneficial to the family and the country, they must be promoted. The officials did not
Dare to disobey, but in private, most of them are still unwilling to change, they are just pretending in front of the emperor.
Among the temples, only Cao Cao decorated the house with chairs and tables, and completely obeyed the emperor's orders. Therefore, some of the officials were shameless and said: "This is the style of the peasant family", so as to mock Cao Cao,
Everyone knows that since Cao Song, the Cao family has been an imperial party through and through, completely different from other ministers. No matter what the emperor's decree is, whether it is wrong or not, they will fully support it.
Therefore, they believed that there was no difference between Cao Cao and his father Cao Song, and even used it to ridicule him. However, Cao Cao did not mind these remarks at all. Now, Cao Cao is still busy with more important things, and the court gradually focused on
Compared with the northern states, the development of the south is still lagging behind. Only Yangzhou can rival the north after several years of governance.
However, not all counties in Yangzhou are like this. Some of the counties close to Jiaozhou still lack enough manpower and are still full of wild beasts and forests. Jingzhou is even worse than Yangzhou. In Jingzhou, life is
There are a large number of barbarians, most of whom are the same as the mountain people of Yangzhou, living in the mountains and forests, but their daily speech habits are not much different from those of the people in the county.
The same is true for Yizhou and Jiaozhou, with insufficient population and insufficient arable land.
Since the reign of Emperor Xiaokang, the Han Dynasty has always wanted to carry out large-scale governance of the south. Among them, it has also dispatched capable ministers like Wang Fu, which has enabled the south to develop to a certain extent. However, it is limited by its own shortcomings, so
It failed to continue to develop, but now, Cao Cao wanted to complete the great things that Wang Fu failed to complete for him.
However, Cao Cao is probably the only one who has this idea. The rest are still focusing on the southern shipping, hoping to obtain more profits from Yangzhou to support the expenditure of the national treasury. Almost every minister is thinking
They are all different. As a Situ, Lu Zhi should be able to represent the opinions of all officials.
However, it is a pity that he repeatedly petitioned, hoping that the emperor could strengthen the construction of Hezhou, Xin, Ning, and Youzhou, and requested that a large number of idle officials be sent here and invest a large amount of money. He himself came from Hezhou
, he hopes that the affluence of these regions can reach the same level as the Central Plains region as soon as possible.
The officials did not agree with his opinion, even if he was a Situ.
First of all, the war has just subsided, and the treasury has just breathed a sigh of relief, and it is about to start spending financial resources on the four frontier states. This is obviously inappropriate. Sikong Yuan Shu is firmly opposed to it. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to antagonize Lu Zhi in the court.
, almost a fight. In addition, to send out capable officials, they naturally have to be selected from Taixue and Menzixue, and here, most of them are the children of hundreds of officials.
Naturally, they would not allow their children to go to such a remote place, which would be like being exiled.
Sikong Yuan Shu, after discussing with the emperor, he also put forward his own ideas.
After Ma Jun left, the Hongdu School did not stop improving and manufacturing old things. After Ma Jun replied to the letter, the craftsmen made improvements to the silk weaving machine that the emperor had observed, at the expense of the quality of the finished product.
The biggest reduction was the cost of manufacturing and the reuse of the size of the weaving machine. Later, the emperor ordered them to produce it on a large scale and prepared to promote it to the people.
Yuan Shu is very supportive of this matter, and he hopes to add a new tax, which is to separately collect the commercial tax on damask brocade and the use tax on damask weaving machines.
A damask weaving machine will require a corresponding increase in taxes. Yuan Shu's meaning is very clear. He wants to add some new financial sources. What's more, the people are rich now, and most of the people who have damask weaving machines at home are from aristocratic families.
It will not benefit the people.
Taiwei Jia Xu no longer has the composure of the past. He is still working hard on the affairs of the old soldiers. As an important part of Xi Ping's benevolent government, he cannot make any mistakes. He also has to supervise whether there are any corrupt officials in various places.
We had to carefully check whether the situation of the veteran recipients was true. We were so busy that we didn't relax for a moment all day long.
What's more, on the side, there were also the imperial censor Cai Yong and Cui Gong's favorite disciple Zhang Yide, who were watching with eager eyes, so that the officials did not dare to relax in the slightest.
There seemed to be huge differences among the officials. They were constantly competing for the next main direction. Even Xing Zi'ang, the minister who had been unknown, was not idle. Since the death of Emperor Xiaokang, the late emperor's confidant,
It seemed that he became silent in the temple, rarely speaking, and he never participated in some battles between the court and the government.
However, he is still playing an important role. Even today, we dare not deny that all policies and measures formulated by the DPRK are implemented silently by this minister. No matter how difficult the measures are, Xing Ziang
It can always be completed smoothly. Even the method of garrisoning and garrisoning the army proposed by Cui Gong was personally implemented and completed by this minister.
Except for him, it seems that no minister in the court can complete it.
Nowadays, Xing Ziang is also reporting to the emperor, hoping to restart the construction of Chidao during the Jianning period. At that time, Emperor Xiaokang was ambitious and discussed with Xing Ziang to overhaul Chidao roads. Chidao roads were built in the north, south, and even Xiliang.
Xing Ziang had always been responsible for the construction of the canal. At that time, Emperor Xiaokang's ambition was to connect the entire Han Dynasty into an iron plate through these transportation hubs!!
Unfortunately, Emperor Xiaokang died halfway, so this brilliant blueprint also came to an end.
Chidao and canals have always maintained their size during the Jianning period, and even shrunk a bit. This is because the roads were not maintained and the roads were damaged. Xing Ziang has always firmly implemented Emperor Xiaokang's policies, even if Emperor Xiaokang was like this
No, he still believed that since Emperor Xiaokang had such an idea back then, then there was nothing wrong with continuing to implement it!!
Xing Ziang had such a firm belief, which is why today's emperors don't love him very much. During the period of Emperor Xiaokang, Xing Ziang made countless memorials, and successively followed ministers such as He Zi, Wang Fu, Wen Renxi, etc., whether he was governing the local area or
You are all good at handling internal affairs. When you come to my place, you stop talking and remain silent all day long. What is this?
Are you a servant of Emperor Xiaokang or a servant of this big man?
If Xing Ziang hadn't been so capable, he would have been driven back to Raoyang by the emperor!
However, after seeing everyone's performance, the emperor felt a little happy.
What's more, people like Lu Zhi, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu all gave the emperor great surprises.
The little fat man is very tired. He has been very tired since he ascended the throne. He did not encounter the same danger as when Emperor Xiaokang ascended the throne. However, when he ascended the throne, there was no escort around him, no old Taiwei.
For such a wise old man, all the officials disliked him. Only Wang Jiexin, who was hated by all the officials, stood beside him with difficulty and drew his sword towards everyone.
However, soon, Wang Jiexin could no longer be by his side. Even now, when he thinks of that line, his body still trembles with anger.
There seem to be a lot of talents around me, but these are all undeveloped talents. Most of them are not in their thirties. There are even weak ones. They can help me, but the help is not as much as imagined.
Da, gritted his teeth and persisted for so long. Finally, he now has great talents available in the temple!
The emperor looked through the articles in front of him, countless times. Every time he read them, a smile appeared on his lips involuntarily. This was incompatible with his usual tyranny, so he read it over and over again.
When Han Men came in and was about to change the candles,
The emperor buried his head in his arms, smiled, snored slightly, and slept soundly.
