Liu Xie said seriously and said lightly: "Is there anyone in the world who can build a bridge here to reward thousands of marquises."
Pei Mao, Yang Xiu and others were stunned for a moment and looked at each other.
Yang Xiu deliberately joked: "Your Majesty, Xihe County has less than 10,000 households, so you can reward the marquis of thousands of households by building a bridge. Isn't it too much? If you want to do something else in the future, the court can't afford it. Besides, I'll talk about it.
, General Du Liao and General Yue cavalry made great contributions, with a fief of only a thousand households..."
Liu Xie glanced at Yang Xiu. "If you can build a bridge here, you must be a craftsman who is not born in the world. Wouldn't it be more rare than the Liao general and Yue cavalry general? Furthermore, if you can build a bridge here, you can build a bridge here in more ways.
If a bridge is built in the local area, the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will benefit, not only thousands of households will have their fiefs?”
After Liu Xie finished speaking, he added earnestly. "If you want to be rich, build the road first."
Yang Xiu insisted: "Even if that is the case, you must do it within your ability. Qin Shihuang unified the world and practiced the Tao in great success. He did not see any wealth, but died in the second lifetime."
Pei Mao looked at Yang Xiu in shock. Taking Qin Shihuang as an example, this is a metaphor for being unrighteous and ruthless.
But thinking about Yang Qi comparing Huan Ling to Jie and Zhou, he felt relieved again.
This is the family tradition of the Yang family of Hongnong.
"Arguing is useless, it is not as good as practice." Liu Xie was used to Yang's family tradition, and was not angry, and he didn't want to argue.
He was considering not only one bridge, or even a few bridges, but the mentality of people all over the world paying attention to technology. He can be granted a marquis when fighting and building a bridge, so why do you have to be an official?
If the scholar's interest can be directed from being an official to science and technology, he is willing to be granted a few more marquises.
Seeing Liu Xie insisting, Pei Mao was happy to see that he was successful. The fief of Qianhuhou did not need to be provided separately by Xihe County. The bridge was built, but the advantage was that of Xihe County.
Accompanied by Pei Mao and others, Liu Xie inspected dozens of miles along the river.
Overall, the geographical changes in this section of the river have not changed much, some affect the passage, some affect the cultivation, and more have both. It is indeed quite difficult to restore the situation of Xihe County's cross-river governance.
.
But Liu Xie didn't want to give up easily.
He made a suggestion to Pei Mao: Xihe County is still managed across the river, but it is divided into two parts: Hedong and Hexi, with two magistrates, each in half. The prefect travels to and from both sides of the river, and coordinates in the center. Set up at a suitable location along the river.
Several Jinkous are used for transportation.
Although the geographical situation of Dahe has changed, it is still okay to find a few ferry crossings.
Even two thousand years later, there are several famous Jinkou communications on this section of the Yellow River between Shanxi and Shaanxi.
Pei Mao accepted Liu Xie's suggestion, and he also felt that there was something wrong with the river as the boundary, which was not in line with the imperial court's purpose of re-setting border defense with the west river as the foundation. Once both sides acted independently, it was very easy to form separatist rule, which in turn affected the stability of the northern border.
"If you want to build peace, river management is essential." Liu Xie also said: "In addition to building bridges, we will seek some talents who can control water and soil."
When he thought of the water and soil, he felt a little unhappy.
As Sikong, Zhang Xi hid in Taiyuan and didn't come. Should he be pulled over and have a look?
A trace of uneasiness flashed in Yang Xiu's eyes, but he still bowed to receive the imperial edict.
When Liu Xie was visiting the return trip, he met Yang Biao and his party at Hequjinkou.
When the king, minister, father and son met, they were overjoyed. When they learned that Hua Tuo had also arrived, Liu Xie was even more overjoyed.
He talked with Hua Tuo for a long time, and then asked the Imperial Physician Ling to conduct a routine assessment. The Imperial Physician Ling knew about Hua Tuo and shook his hands repeatedly, claiming that he did not dare to take the exam for Hua Tuo, and expressed his willingness to let the virtuous and volunteered to be Hua Tuo's assistant.
But Liu Xie was unwilling to break the rules for this.
Although the Imperial Physician Order is not a famous doctor, he is dedicated and has worked very hard recently to treat injured soldiers. He has no contribution and has worked hard. He cannot use people like accumulating wages, and he has come from behind, especially because he has come from behind just because of his reputation.
He appointed Hua Tuo as the Imperial Physician Chief, assisted the Imperial Physician Order to treat the wounded, and further gained merits and promoted in the future.
He told Hua Tuo that every soldier in the northern border is the foundation of stability in the northern border, and saving one more person is good. Treating diseases and saving people means governing the country and saving the world. If you don’t be a good minister, you will be a good doctor. It is rare to be a good minister, and even more difficult to get a good doctor.
.You have the talent to become a good doctor, so you should cherish it.
Although Hua Tuo was somewhat regretful when he failed to become a high-ranking official, he felt relieved and happily accepted the appointment when he saw that the emperor valued him so much and had high expectations.
After putting Hua Tuo in the Imperial Medical Office system, Liu Xie assessed the warriors who came with Yang Biao and planned to join the army.
Most of this group of people are from Taiyuan, many of them have studied and have good martial arts skills, but they lack practical experience. Liu Xie transferred most of them to Hu Ben and Yulin, and a few particularly outstanding ones stayed at Hu Ben.
Minister of the Assistant.
For example, Hao Zhao.
Hao Zhaonian was young, but he was tall, skilled in archery and horses, and had a very good foundation in military science. Not only was Liu Xie very satisfied with him, but Guo Wu and Yan Xing also hit it off at first sight and became a confidant.
Yang Biao looked around and felt that Liu Xie in front of him was different from the emperor a few months ago.
A great victory made the emperor more confident and calm, and his mind and demeanor changed significantly. If it weren't for his still immature face, just looking at his words and demeanor, no one would believe that this was a young man who was about sixteen years old.
But he also had concerns that the emperor attached too much importance to all craftsmen, but instead he was not very concerned about scholars.
So far, the emperor has issued several edicts for seeking talents, including those who are skilled in craftsmen, those who are knowledgeable about water conservancy, and those who are brave and warlike, but only those who are not knowledgeable about the classics and techniques.
After talking with Yang Xiu for a night, he confirmed his concerns.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of reporting, Yang Biao raised his own doubts.
Liu Xie held his cheek and stared at Yang Biao for a long time, showing a smile that was hard to understand.
"Don't Mr. Yang forgot that the court has its own system of filial piety and integrity."
"I dare not forget."
"Although filial piety and integrity are all virtues, most of them are Confucian scholars who are proficient in classics. Since there is a ready-made system, why bother to seek it again?"
Yang Biao looked at Liu Xie's serious face, a little angry, but could not refute it.
Evaluation of filial piety and integrity is actually one of the victories of the Confucian school, which ensures the path for Confucian scholars to enter the official career in a systematic way. In this sense, the emperor's words are not good.
However, over the past two hundred years, the system of filial piety and integrity has long changed. Most of the elected families, children of large families, and few true Confucian scholars.
Even if those people are elected as filial and honest, they will never come to the court, and they will never come to the northern border.
In other words, Confucian scholars nominally had a formal way to enter the officialdom, but in fact this path had been squeezed by aristocratic families and large families. When the emperor issued an edict to seek skilled craftsmen, their chances were not as good as skilled craftsmen.
"You only need scarce people, but don't ask for things that are not scarce, but don't ask for things that come by yourself." Liu Xie said, taking out a memorial and handing it to Yang Biao. "Since Mr. Yang is here, please ask Mr. Yang to deal with this matter."
Yang Biao took it and saw it was a memorial sent by General Ding Chong, a military advisor of General Cavalry, saying that General Cavalry's Mansion issued an order to recruit scholars to the northern border to assist the emperor in educating the people. Dozens of people have already applied and are in Nanyang.
concentrated.
Yang Biao was very surprised. Ding Chong and Zhang Ji obviously did not have the brain to react quickly enough. It is estimated that when he made such a decision, the news of the emperor's victory had not yet reached Nanyang.
"Your Majesty, this plan is very good. I think it can be implemented in Hedong, Taiyuan and other places." Yang Biao said: "And some more benefits can be added. Those who can educate in the northern border will be separated from a single corvee. In this way, the scholars who are in Jingzhou must
Like a river returning to the sea, we happily head north."
Liu Xie smiled and shook his hand. "You can't change this way. If you change this way, the one who benefits will be the children of aristocratic families with great family members, not ordinary scholars. One person educates, hundreds of people are exempted from labor service. The cost is too high and the court bears it.
No await."
"But the children of aristocratic families do not serve corvee service at first. In fact, they serve in the name of the person, but they are actually doing it for others."
Liu Xie paused for a moment and said lightly: "I won't do it in the future."
