Whether the northern Xinjiang can be controlled depends on military affairs in the short term and economy in the long term.
If the economic problems cannot be solved and the long-term gain is not worth the loss, the control over the northern border will not be maintained forever.
The US imperialists with nuclear-powered money printing machines could not support years of war, let alone the poor man.
Liu Xie wanted long-term stability and even wanted to actively integrate the grassland nations, so he naturally had to consider economic issues.
He had discovered that the profits of war horses were considerable, but now he found that the profits of silk trade were considered to be inconsistent, which had begun to open up the situation.
Liu Xie asked Lu Xiaohuan about the price and profit of brocade, but Lu Xiaohuan was not interested in it and didn't know about it after asking.
On the contrary, Cai Yan provided some information.
Xiangyi is not far from her hometown, Wu County, so I still know the general situation.
Xiangyi not only has the best sericulture, but also the best dyes. The dyed brocades are brightly colored and durable, and of course they are also expensive. As a guided supply site for imperial courts, Xiangyi's best brocades are famous and in short supply.
.
Even with the strength of the Cai family, they cannot buy as much as they want.
Cai Yan also walked through the brocade in Xiangyi when she was married.
Wang Zhi's business in this way is closely related to his brother Wang Fu's status in the palace.
However, in recent years, the world was in chaos and the court did not care about these things. All the workers in Xiangyi were stopped and the aristocratic families were affected by war. There may not be any previous grand occasion. It would not be a day to recover.
Liu Xie immediately asked, what if the technicians in Xiangyi were summoned to Hedong and opened a workshop in Hedong?
Cai Yan has no knowledge reserves in this area, so he can't say that.
Lu Xiaohuan was not interested in these things. When he saw the emperor asking about the details, he felt that the emperor was not doing his job properly. He was in front of the enemy and did not think about how to defeat the enemy, but he thought about how to open a workshop to make money. He really didn't look like the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he felt a little disappointed.
She found an excuse and sneaked aside to hunt.
Jia Xu got out of the car, tidied up his clothes, slowly walked to Liu Xie, and bowed.
Liu Xie also took off his horse, took a step forward, and held Jia Xu's arm.
The king and his subjects looked at each other and laughed.
"Your Majesty seems to have grown a lot taller again and his clothes are shorter."
"Eat well and have meat every day." Liu Xie smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir, and you have lost weight."
"Although you are thin, your heart is wide, it's easy to get fat." Jia Xu turned around and called Yan Xing. "This is Yan Xing, Jincheng, whose courtesy name is Yan Ming, and he just married Han Sui's daughter not long ago. This time, he was ordered by Han Sui,
Come and see you."
Yan Xing went forward to salute.
Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu and was confused.
Han Sui didn't come in person, nor did he send his son to come, but only sent a son-in-law who had just gotten married, which was reserved.
In contrast, Ma Teng had too many, so he sent his eldest son Ma Chao over.
Unfortunately, Ma Chao is not good at doing well and is not a qualified attendant.
However, for him, Yan Xingke is more valuable than Han Sui and his son, and is also suitable for being a servant than Ma Chao.
"Where is General Zhenxi?"
"He was ordered to intercept the Xianbei and was on the journey." Yan Xing said, presenting the head of the white horse bronze.
Jia Xu also handed Han Sui's submission, Liu Xie took it, read it once, and smiled secretly in his heart.
As the Nine-Curve Yellow River, Han Sui was too jealous. He wanted to take advantage of the situation and gained credit, but refused to face the Xianbei people head-on, so as not to suffer too much losses.
The nature of warlords is difficult to change, and they are not pillars that the court can rely on after all.
"When sir passed by Shuofang, did you see Xianbei people besieging the city?"
"I surrounded it, but the Xianbei people did not attack, as if they had other plans." Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, the cavalry is fast, and it takes only one or two hours to get thirty or fifty miles away. We must be careful."
Liu Xie smiled and said, "I have been waiting for him, but he just didn't come."
Jia Xu smiled with a smile on his beard. "Since Your Majesty is ready, I am too worried."
Yan Xing beside him bowed and said, "If Your Majesty wants to fight, it is better to go closer. Although thirty miles are not far away, there is no place to hide in the valley, which is not conducive to rushing. Marines for thirty miles are no different.
Seeking death."
Liu Xie looked at Yan Xing and couldn't help but smile.
"Yanming thought I should go up to him?"
"I am ignorant and false, and I am guilty of death."
"It's okay, tell me why I should meet you."
Yan Xing looked at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu nodded calmly.
Yan Xing felt very calm and said with a sigh: "Your Majesty clearly understands. Xianbei, Xiongnu, and even other hybrid Qiang and Hu live by water and grass, like bees gathering and scattering like stars. It is not difficult to defeat them, but the difficult thing is
A large number of killings and injuries. Fu Luohan was defeated by His Majesty. Even if he returned to the grassland, he would not be able to regain his life. But his subordinates were still there and would rely on other tribes and would inevitably invade the enemy in the future."
"So, what should I do?"
"Take the fight on your own initiative, kill the leader, and kill as much as possible, intimidate your heart from the inside and consume your energy from the outside, so that you dare not fight again easily." Yan Xing swallowed and said, "It was because of the Huns who fought for years.
After that, the population dropped drastically and I was unable to fight again. I had to avoid my great man's edge and flee far away to the Western Regions."
Liu Xie nodded, looked at Jia Xu, and smiled knowingly.
Yan Xing’s suggestion is exactly the same as Xun You’s plan.
Needless to say, this is all Jia Xu pushing behind the scenes.
Han Sui is unreliable, but Yan Xing can still be cultivated.
"A famous general in Liangzhou, Sanming is powerful in the world, and it is desirable. Now there are Yanming and Lingming young heroes, which can be expected later. Unfortunately, Meng Qi's name is ignorant, otherwise it will be Sanming in Liangzhou. Yanming, I wish to do it for me.
Do it work?"
Yan Xing bowed and bowed. "If Your Majesty does not abandon you, I will naturally not be able to ask for it."
"Good!" Liu Xie waved and called Guo Wu to ask him to try Yan Xing's martial arts.
Guo Wu led Yan Xing away. Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu with a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Sir, Han Wen asked this famous scholar in Xizhou to be unworthy of his reputation."
Jia Xu sighed and showed a helpless smile. "Your Majesty, Han Wenyou is not ignorant of the pros and cons, but is just blinded by his own selfishness. He has to do so. Those who can restrain themselves and restore rituals are the few after all."
"Restrain yourself and return to courtesy?" Liu Xie savored it and chuckled twice. "Sir, I also think it is too difficult to restrain yourself and return to courtesy. It is easier than to have the same desire as the top and the bottom. Brothers are united and their strengths are cut off. If everyone can be united, they can be united.
, if the world is harmonious, peace can be expected.”
Jia Xu slightly said, "What Your Majesty said is what I wish. The accumulation of land forms a mountain, the accumulation of water forms abyss, and the accumulation of people forms a world. The principle is one. The people in the Central Plains, the people in the border counties, and even the Qiang, Hu and barbarians,
All can be done. It is just that you know that it is easy to do it, but it is not a one-day achievement. I hope Your Majesty will work diligently and walk on thin ice, so you should not be eager for quick success or instant benefits.”
Liu Xie waved his hand. "What the gentleman said is very good. The road must be walked step by step and the rice must be eaten bit by bit. The world is too big, so let's start with it. If it is cold and cannot be discussed in one way, how can we talk about it in one way or another.
Qiang, Hu and barbarians. I want to rebuild Shuofang, Wuyuan, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong counties. Do you think it is okay?"
"Yes." Jia Xu did not think. "But before Your Majesty established Shuofang and the counties of Wuyuan, it is advisable to immigrate to Guanzhong, cultivate fields and grow valleys to strengthen the heart and strengthen the foundation."
"Immigrate to Guanzhong?" Liu Xie frowned. "Where are the people who moved?"
