In the living room of the mansion, Fusu looked at Xiao He, who had not seen him for many days, and then at the other people who were traveling with him. Fusu was even more happy.
Strategist!
Quite important.
The reason why my father was able to achieve great things that have never been seen in the past is, firstly, because of his great talent and decisiveness, and secondly, because of the civil and military power of his ministers.
In this way, the Qin Dynasty swallowed up all the other countries and brought order to the world.
The most obvious example is the struggle between Wu and Yue for hegemony hundreds of years ago. The state of Wu became hegemonic because of Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, and the state of Yue also prospered because of Fan Li’s literary genre!
Qin won the Lord Shang and strengthened the country through law.
…
During the trip to Surabaya, it was certainly important to make peace with farmers, but what was even more important was to have some people around, especially Xiao He, whom I admired very much.
Cao Shen, Xia Houying, Zhou Chang... I have also considered that they are not bad in talent and learning. As long as they practice further and hone themselves, they can achieve something.
My uncle once said that there is no perfect person in the world. Everyone has a role to play. As long as he uses it well, he will be a great talent.
Not good to use!
Even if there is a master of the universe, it is useless.
Fusu thought so. More than a hundred years ago, the Shang Lord was already famous for his great talent, but the Wei State abandoned it. Pang Juan's plan was a domineering strategy for the Wei State. It was already excellent, but the Wei Lord did not use it.
How to use it well?
It all depends on yourself.
"I've met Mr. Anping!"
"Anping-kun!"
"..."
Wearing black clothes and robes, his body was tall and straight, and there was a trace of elegance in his movements. Xiao He came forward with a smile and bowed deeply.
As soon as I arrived in Guanzhong, I heard that the young master had been granted the title of king!
It is still Anpingjun who also eats the land of Pengcheng in Sishui County. This kind of reward is expected, but it is a bit strange. Now that we meet, we can talk in detail.
Immediately, I heard that the young master was about to get married, and I was filled with congratulations.
Beside them, Cao Shen and others were also overjoyed. Seeing the young master here was like having a backbone and a great support.
What's more, the young master is now even more respected!
"Haha, no need to be polite."
"Are these two...?"
Fusu smiled and helped Xiao He and others up one after another. There were eight of them in total. Xiao He knew six of them, and the other two were strangers to each other.
But he entered the mansion together with Xiao He.
His eyes turned and fell on the two of them. Judging from their age, they seemed to be around thirty, and they were wearing Buddhist robes.
Confucian people?
"Anping-kun!"
"This is Lu Wan, a native of Peixian County. After you left Sishui County, my lord, you met this person while drinking with friends in a wine shop."
"During the conversation, strategies and military skills were all advanced, so I recommended him."
"This is Liu Jiao. He and I are both from Fengyi. He is a disciple of Confucianism. He studied under Fuqiu Bo, a disciple of Confucian Xunfu, and studied Confucian classics. He is unique in the study of benevolence and etiquette, and his poetry and calligraphy are also good!"
"Yes, there are also recommendations!"
Xiao He hurriedly walked to the two of them and introduced Young Master Fusu one by one.
These are all the talents that the young master acquired after he left Peixian. Before leaving, the young master told himself that if possible, he could inspect and recruit some talents for his use.
I dare not forget these words.
Lu Wan!
I have good relations with Liu Ji and Cao Shen. I heard that he seemed to have acted inappropriately in the past few years and had a chivalrous style. In the end, he was generally innocent. In addition, this person is indeed a man of both civil and military knowledge, which is comparable to ordinary people.
Liujiao!
This man was Liu Ji's younger brother. Later, when he was drinking, he also met him. He was quite surprised to learn that this man studied under Uncle Fuqiu.
That was a famous Confucian scholar!
Not to mention that Fu Qiubo's teacher was Confucius Xun, and he was the first Confucian and Taoist master in the Xia Dynasty. In today's world, there are very few people who can sit down and discuss Taoism with that kind of people.
Liu Jiao was not well versed in civil and military studies, but he was proficient in benevolence, etiquette, poetry and calligraphy, which he could definitely put to use here in Xianyang.
In the land of Guanzhong, the capital of Xianyang, and the land under the feet of His Majesty the First Emperor, the Dharma and Tao must be implemented and everything must be in compliance with the Dharma and etiquette.
Especially some paperwork needs to be carefully considered.
At this moment, a person who is proficient in this is needed. Sometimes, a trivial mistake may cause another kind of turmoil.
It's true that both of them have some relationship with Liu Ji, but he is not under the Young Master's command. I don't know what he is like!
Based on his own ability to read people, Liu Ji must have other intentions, but it’s hard to know what they are?
"Anping-kun!"
"Anping-kun!"
Lu Wan and Liu Jiao bowed deeply again.
"Haha, please get up!"
"Since you are recommended by Xiao He, you two should be of good standing. You can have a good discussion with me next."
Fusu nodded to the two of them, Xiao He was interested.
Lu Wan!
Liujiao!
It seems that he has some talent and learning, and there will be plenty of time to prove it. Among the two, Liu Jiao became a disciple of Fu Qiubo, a disciple of Confucian Xun Fuzi.
This is interesting.
According to what his father said, after his wedding, he would first go to Qilu to sort out the order at the top and bottom and pave the way for the eastward tour.
At that time, dealing with Confucianism was indispensable.
It happened at this time that Xiao He introduced a Confucian!
This... Xiao He is naturally not a Confucian, that is, the Confucianists took the lead and relied on some connections to contact Xiao He and donate this person.
The possibility is great!
I originally thought that some of the Confucian people here in Xianyang would have some interactions with me, so I took a look at Liu Jiao. He was nearly thirty years old, with bright eyes and sparse eyebrows, and an elegant air.
"Follow me to the side hall to have tea and chat."
"Tell me about the follow-up events in Surabaya County."
"I have already ordered people to go to the natural residence to order delicacies of water and land. When the time comes, you should drink as much as you can."
Looking at the eight people again, he supported Su Xinyue, raised his hand and pointed, taking the lead, leading Xiao He and others to the side of the hall.
It's too formal here and seems a bit restrictive.
It's easier to talk there.
“Natural home!”
"Xianyang is a natural residence. Mr. Anping, since we entered Xianyang, one of the major things we have discussed is to go there together to taste the delicious food."
"Unexpectedly, Mr. Anping has already taken the lead."
Cao Shen followed and couldn't help laughing.
"Xianyang is a natural residence and the most delicious place in all summers."
Xiahou Ba sighed in anticipation and expressed his hope.
The others looked at each other and laughed.
“Tianju is indeed delicious.”
"Now in Guanzhong, many foods in Zhuxia are affected by it."
"For example, the steamed buns and tofu that originally came out of Tianju have become very popular in the world over the years."
"There are also new ways to eat Jiangnan grains, all of which are wonderful."
"When you come to Xianyang, you will have no shortage of time to taste them all. Haha, the things there are not cheap."
Passing through the inner door of the hall, walking along a small walkway, you enter a smaller but more exquisite room, where... there is already a maid walking.
When it comes to Tiantianju, Fusu can't help but praise it.
Natural residence has made a great contribution.
Compared with the way of merchants, it expands and optimizes the food genealogy of Zhuxia. Ten or twenty years ago, the food eaten by the old Qin people in Xianyang Pass was very different from the food eaten today.
The big steamed buns that look like white clouds are my favorite. I eat one or two at every meal. In the past, people in Lao Qin ate more Guokui.
There is also a famous dish of the old Qin people - fat sheep stew!
Nowadays, there are naturally some people who eat that dish. Most of them are eaten by the military and merchants on their long journeys. However, there are more and more ways to cook mutton.
certainly.
Tiantianju also has another major feature.
It’s just expensive!
It is common for a meal to cost several golds. If it costs tens of golds, a hundred golds is considered a feast. If it costs hundreds of golds, it is of the highest quality and can be enjoyed.
The National Government Administration's income tax from natural residents is hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, which is comparable to some wealthy counties in Guanzhong.
Not to mention, Tianranju donates hundreds of thousands of dollars to the national treasury every year!
It can be seen that the money earned by Tiantianju, but... no one troubles Tiantianju, and almost no one even drinks and causes trouble in Tiantianju.
Even if there is!
If someone captures him, he will be sent to Tingwei Mansion.
Behind Tianranju is his uncle Wuzhen Junhou, which is not a secret in Xianyang.
Since this year, as the uncle's children have been granted the title of Lord of Changnan and settled in Chang'an County, Tiantianju has even threatened to build a branch in Chang'an County.
Changnan-kun!
Tsk tsk!
When his uncle's child Ying Ning was born, he was given such a title by his father and had a place like Chang'an County.
Especially as far as I know, the land of Xinchao Palace Afang is next to Chang'an County, which is even more complicated.
As the eldest son of the emperor, after years of training and meritorious deeds, he was rewarded like this. Fusu... felt complicated.
My uncle is special and has made great achievements. He is the general overseer of the land south of the Yangtze River. This is something that no ordinary person can do. He has also accomplished many great achievements over the past decades.
It is natural for the shade to fall.
Miss Bai Qianhong's daughter, Ying Ling, was granted the title of lord of Lanling County and a seat in Lanling County. With this kind of treatment, the princess in the harem could not live up to her expectations.
Nothing else.
uncle!
This time, my uncle did not come to the imperial New Year's Day gathering. Someone with a doctorate from the Central Academy said that this was not in line with etiquette.
As a result, the civil and military officials of the temple dynasty ignored him.
I was expecting my uncle to come, but according to my father's words, the reason why my uncle didn't come to Xianyang was because he went out for fun.
In the huge Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, there are only three people left, Miss Bai Qianhong, and her brother Chang Nanjun. My uncle is indeed very human!
"If a good thing is cheap, it will be a waste."
Naturally, they also know the cost of the royal tomb. It is indeed not accessible to ordinary people. Those who can go there are only wealthy businessmen and high-ranking ministers who are not short of money.
The remaining people who are short of money can only go to other wine shops in the city, which also imitate some of the natural wines and dishes.
It's a bit of comfort.
"Haha, that's exactly the reason."
"..."
Everyone laughed again and entered the side hall. They followed the etiquette and took their seats one after another. The maids brought tea one after another. After a while, the atmosphere became more cheerful.
…
…
"Xiao He!"
"This person is indeed a talented person. Judging from the files of the Shadow Guards and Sishui County, this person has a little experience and is also a county guard and a talent of the Nine Ministers."
"When I saw this, I thought of Ye Teng."
"He has done a good job in Yandi. With his previous experience of following the general governor of four counties, it is very good to be in charge of Yandi."
"Meng Tian has written a letter, and Ye Teng is in the area east of the Hu people, putting considerable pressure on Bei Hu."
"Meng Yi, I remember that Ye Teng previously submitted a letter requesting to send troops to attack the Donghu area outside the Great Wall, and even Jizi North Korea."
"One is to expand the territory of the imperial map."
"Secondly, there are remnants of people from various countries walking in those places, especially in Jizi North Korea, there are many nobles from various countries."
Xianyang Palace Royal City!
Xingle Palace!
At noon, the First Emperor Ying Zheng was still dealing with government affairs. He couldn't help but smile when he read the newly delivered document on the eucalyptus.
The words followed and were conveyed throughout the bright and vast hall. Danfeng's eyes flashed brightly, scanning the details of the document one by one.
The above are the rewards given by the government to some people in Sishui County.
Now, Fusu's reward has fallen, and the rewards of the others should also fall one by one. Except for the county governor Meng Zhuang, this is Xiao He.
His files are very detailed, covering everything from small to large, down to the smallest detail, especially some of the strategic decisions made during the period of peasant farming.
Ying Zheng looked at it very slowly. This kind of person was met by Fusu and he took it into his own hands. He was lucky to have Xiao He by his side.
This person has excellent political talents. He is also vigorous and resolute in handling farm affairs, and he is decisive in killing. He has the shadow of a person.
Ye Teng!
Thinking of this, he raised his eyes slightly and looked at Meng Yi who was waiting in the palace.
"Your Majesty, Governor Ye Teng has this document."
Meng Yi!
It has been a long history for many years, but now the aura all over his body is calmer, and his square face has a pair of bright eyes.
He stood up from his desk and bowed to his superiors.
"I remember that Ye Teng's reply at that time was that the first priority was to pacify Yan, and it was not appropriate to send troops to seize Donghu and Jizi North Korea outside the Great Wall."
“East Lake Beyond the Wall!”
"Ji Zi Korea!"
"Looking at the map, Jizi North Korea is too far away, and Donghu is close outside the wall. The Xiongnu of Northern Hu are powerful, they defeated Donghu, gathered some of Donghu's power, and some of them were scattered inside and outside."
"There are some in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, and there are also some outside the Great Wall."
"The reason why Ye Teng was not allowed to send troops before was because of Yan. Now, the empire's first five-year plan is coming to an end."
"The land of Yan is gradually becoming more stable."
"I think we can attack Donghu outside the Great Wall first, so as to combine their efforts and draw part of the Xiongnu's power. What do you think?"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng also stood up, stretched out his arms, moved his muscles slightly, walked up to the high platform, said this, turned around and looked at a brand new imperial map hanging behind him.
Very big!
Such a map... The government has drawn new maps every year in the past few years. In fact, the empire controls the Xia, some brand-new cities, and the main roads have changed a lot.
One year is enough to make a lot of difference.
Maybe a few decades later, the changes in the map will not be so obvious. The exquisite sheepskin map also uses colors to mark each county and region, making it look more obvious.
This map!
Ying Zheng... was still not satisfied.
Although all the Xia in Kyushu are under the control of the Qin Dynasty, there are hidden dangers all around, and the territory of the Xiongnu in Beihu is also very large.
Even the land that crosses the east and west surpasses the Qin Dynasty. To the east of the Xiongnu, you can enter the East China Sea area in the north, and to the west, it can reach directly to the north of the Western Region.
The vast land was controlled by the Xiongnu, and there were hundreds of thousands of people who controlled the strings. Touman Shanyu became more and more powerful. It was even heard that many Xiongnu people entered the Wusun land, and wanted to persuade Wusun to do what they wanted.
seek.
Northern Hu Xiongnu!
Wusun!
Western Region!
Beyond the Liaodong Great Wall!
There is also a small island in the east called Jizi Korea, which is far away from the Xia. According to information from various parties, there are many remnants of the various countries there.
They all regard that place as a temporary shelter.
Do you really think that the Land of Palm can protect them?
Not only the Shandong affairs, but also the Beihu affair has not been resolved. Ye Teng has already been ordered to rectify Yan's troops and horses to attack Jizi North Korea, and the navy from Jiangshui Land goes north to attack by land and water!
Because of Xiao He's files, I thought of Ye Teng, and he also had a separate audience with him at this court meeting. The matter in Yandi was settled more clearly.
It is slightly difficult to integrate Donghu and Jizi North Korea into one coherent whole, but it is still possible to suppress the empire's territory next to Jizi North Korea.
In this way, the Xiongnu can be restrained from the north. With the power of Yan, the Xiongnu must have at least 100,000 string-controlling men constantly coming and going.
The pressure can be less at Mengtian.
In a few years, Li Xin will become a powerful force, and coupled with the power of the Western Regions,... the Northern Hu Xiongnu will be able to be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Then the soldiers of Yan State went south to attack and destroy Jizi Korea!
By the way, we should deal with some people who should have been dealt with long ago. If they surrender peacefully in Zhuxia, they will have no fault of their own. Living overseas, they will continue to cause trouble.
The way to death!
"His Majesty!"
"With the power of Yandi, it is not difficult to conquer Donghu outside the Great Wall!"
"However, the land of Yan is vast from east to west, and the two counties of Liaoxi and Liaodong don't have many people. If we take Donghu outside the Great Wall, the east and west will be even longer."
"At times, it may be difficult to maintain jurisdiction."
