"When a wise ruler governs a country, a three-inch suitcase will be transported and the world will be settled; a square inch of foundation will be upright and the world will be governed. Flash Dance" Shenzi Junchen
This was the first time that Jia Xu came to the Xuanshi Palace, and it was also the first time that he formally met the emperor alone.
He said he was meeting alone, but in fact there was someone accompanying him. Jia Xu glanced at Xun You, the attendant, and calmly bowed to the emperor.
"Shang Shuchen wishes to see Your Majesty."
"Get up now." The emperor nodded slightly to Jia Xu and said: "The issue of military and civilian farming has been announced to the world by the Chancellery. There will be a senior agricultural officer to handle it. However, military farming is different from civilian farming. In addition to having the ability to govern the people, the emperor
If you can, you must be familiar with the military. Therefore, I have created a new post of Dian Nong Zhonglang General, who is responsible for the Guanzhong military camp and garrison Hongnong. Duan Xuan is appointed to take charge of it. I am worried that he will leave the battle line and be unwilling to do so. I heard
You and Duan Xuan are from the same county, and I came here to ask you to comfort him in private."
Jia Xu knew that although Duan Yan was lenient on the outside and jealous on the inside, he always obeyed the imperial edicts. The emperor asked him to take a back seat and be responsible for doing work similar to that of the production and construction corps in later generations. If he was placed on someone else, he would be resentful.
But it was different if it was Duan Yan. The emperor still gave him 5,000 elite soldiers and also awarded him a rank and honor. It could be said that it was a very kind favor, and Duan Yan had no reason to refuse.
But if you say that, why is it necessary for Jia Xu to go there personally?
Besides, Jia Xu and Duan Xuan had no friendship at all. If the emperor summoned him on this topic, it must be because of something else. Flash Dance
Jia Xu remained calm and said, "I promise."
"The Qin Dynasty occupied Guanzhong, and the founders of the Six Kingdoms occupied Guanzhong, and ruled the world. Guanzhong is the land of dragon prosperity. Lord Xun suggested that I manage Guanzhong, temporarily control Yongliang, and first conquer Bingzhou and Xutu Bashu. In ten years, I can
Win the world." The emperor stared at Jia Xu and asked, "What does Mr. Jia think?"
Jia Xu's eyes lit up and he glanced at Xun You inadvertently. Xun You was serious and looked at the ground with regular eyes. As if he felt Jia Xu's gaze, Xun You looked back at him.
Although they didn't speak, the two top resourceful men in the world understood each other's feelings through a brief exchange of eyes.
Jia Xu deliberately expressed himself in front of the emperor, which was a bit of a self-recommendation: "Your Majesty has the ambition to revitalize the country, how can I not help you wholeheartedly? If you listen to my humble opinion, you can calmly manage Guanzhong, merge with Liang, and then plan for Bashu."
. Sit back and watch the conquests of the feudal lords in Guandong, and when the time comes, you can divide your troops into three groups, one going out of Hedong, taking the well path into Hebei, passing through Hongnong, going out of Hangu into the Central Plains, the other going to Shangyong, and going along the Han River to Xiangyang.
The hearts of the people are in favor of the Han Dynasty, and now that the Son of Heaven is at the top and a strong army is at the side, the world can tell the truth."
"It's true that heroes have the same views. What Jia Gong said coincides with Xun Jun's strategy." The emperor looked at Xun You and then at Jia Xu, and said happily: "I have two people, just like the great ancestor has a good heart."
, Peace, why worry about uncertainty in the world?"
This was to treat the two of them as equals. Xun You and Jia Xu looked at each other and both prostrated: "How dare you disobey me!"
The emperor personally helped the two men up. This was an unprecedented treatment, which made them grateful.
"It's still early. You two can come with me to Shanglin Garden."
Shanglinyuan?
Jia Xu was slightly surprised. In the past few days, the issue of Qingzhang Shanglin's land had aroused great repercussions in the court. This policy, initiated by Dong Cheng alone and resolutely implemented by the emperor, had changed the situation in just a few days.
Killed dozens of powerful families in one fell swoop.
The rapidity of the attack and the fierceness of the process made the wealthy people in Guanzhong look at him. Those who originally thought that the emperor was a tolerant and enlightened master who could be fooled by flattering the sage, after seeing the ruthless and decisive side of the emperor, they all changed their minds. Don't dare to underestimate it either.
The operation of Qingzhang Shanglin is coming to an end. Countless refugees, old and young, have been properly resettled under the coordination of the fifth patrol of the Farming Order.
It was not the season for grain planting at this time, and the Fifth Patrol did not leave these people idle. He organized tens of thousands of refugees to build houses, burn wasteland, dig ditches, and prepare for the disaster. Next year’s spring plowing.
The emperor led everyone towards the south of the city, where there is the ruins of Yichun Palace where Shanglin Garden belongs.
The heavy rain that lasted all night only stopped in the early morning. As soon as everyone left the city, they were blocked by a gauze-like drizzle. Through the gauze screen, what was presented to everyone was a busy picture. The place was crowded with people. With farmers, cattle, horses and various vehicles, they were working hard under the leadership of the village chief to repair the ditches and fields neatly.
Ditches, wild paths, and ridges are clearly defined, with their own boundaries, forming a large open wilderness. People in the wilderness are howling and shouting, cattle and horses are also neighing, and vehicles transporting soil, food, and tools are also far away. Making an overwhelming sound of squeaking,
These people are all refugees who were originally scattered in Guanzhong. They are disheveled and weak. Even so, they are still wielding hoes, hoping to dig ditches to divert water as soon as possible and level their own land as soon as possible. Farm land.
"The originally barren Shanglin land has its current climate, thanks to the Farming Encouragement Order." Xun You, who was driving with him, saw the busy and peaceful scene outside through the car window. He nodded and praised, "I've heard about it a long time ago. Wu Wenxiu has little knowledge, but he has heard about it in Guanzhong. Now that he has seen it, it can be seen that the message is true."
The emperor closed his eyes slightly, his body swayed with the driving of the car, and with a gentle smile on his face, he said to Xun You: "You have been serving as a servant of the Taiwei for nearly ten months at least. After all, you have been in the same room with the fifth patrol. I know the basics, and I couldn’t be more convinced by your words.”
Xun You rarely blushed. He said it unintentionally. Thinking of the friendship he had worked with the Fifth Patrolman, he said a few words in front of the emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not appreciate it.
"The farming issue involves the livelihood of tens of thousands of refugees, so we must not be careful." The emperor said unintentionally: "Take my instructions and summon the Farming Order and Shanglinyuan Order. I want to entrust them with something."
Xun You was stunned. It stands to reason that such summons would have to be done by the accompanying insider Li Jian. Although the servants would occasionally be responsible for summoning ministers, with Xun You's current status, there was no need for the emperor to do so. I won't let him stoop to do such a thing.
And the emperor has appointed him now, obviously to temporarily transfer him for an excuse.
Not long after Xun You left, Jia Xu was quickly called to the car by the emperor.
Jia Xu, courtesy name Wenhe, was born in Guzang, Wuwei. Yan Zhong of Hanyang said that Xu Youliang and Pingzhi were talented. His deeds in history all prove that he was one of the top strategists and strategists of this era.
In fact, if you ask yourself, the emperor values Jia Xu much more than Xun You. This is not because the emperor thinks Xun You is inferior to Jia Xu, but because Jia Xu comes from a poor family, while Xun You's family has been married for generations. The difference in life background determines Jia Xu's Consider the direction and political stance of the issue with Xun You.
If the emperor wants to conquer the world, then Jia Xu and Xun You are his indispensable and equally important right-hand men. However, if he wants to weaken the wealthy noble families, Xun You will not only not make suggestions for him, but may even put more constraints on him.
Because no one with vested interests will betray his own class easily, even if he is the smartest person of this era.
In contrast, Jia Xu, who did not belong to an aristocratic family and came from a poor family, was undoubtedly the counselor the emperor needed most.
