I heard Guan Yinping say a lot just now, and now Guan Yinping said this again, Latiya probably understood that Guan Yinping liked Liu Zhang, but she didn't know how to express it, and her daughter's family couldn't express it either. Literature Museum
I'm afraid that if Liu Zhang didn't take the initiative to speak up about this matter, it would never come to fruition. No wonder Guan Yinping was depressed.
Latiya scolded Liu Zhang in her heart, took Guan Yinping's hand and said: "Yinping, I know your difficulty. We shouldn't take the normal path to deal with that kind of person. If you really take the initiative to tell him , he doesn’t know how proud he is, he will look down on you in the future, I will give you a good idea, as long as it succeeds, he will owe you this life and have to be good to you. "
"Ah? Do you have such an idea? Well, I don't want him to owe me, as long as he has me in his heart." Guan Yinping felt that his face was burning, and he didn't know what he was saying in his heart, but all the time , I have really kept these thoughts in my heart for too long.
Since the last time she heard that Liu Zhang died of illness in the Western Regions, Guan Yinping had completely confirmed her feelings. However, after Liu Zhang returned to Chang'an, she did not have the courage to say it. It was not until Liu Zhang and Sun Shangxiang and Xu Zhaoxue were married that Guan Yinping felt a little anxious.
The world is about to be unified. After the unification, everyone now knows that Liu Zhang will definitely proclaim himself emperor. At that time, choosing a concubine was even more troublesome. Guan Yinping vaguely felt that he had no place in his life.
Now that she finally found someone to say these words, Guan Yinping became a little bolder. Hearing that Latia had an idea, she became more expectant and asked Latia in a low voice: "Wha...what idea?"
Latia hesitated, holding a small bottle in her hand. After a while, she seemed to make up her mind and said to Guan Yinping: "There is no turning back arrow when you draw the bow. Have you thought clearly?"
Guan Yinping saw Latiya's solemn look and hesitated for a moment. But then he thought that maybe if he didn't make a breakthrough, he would be stuck at this step forever. Guan Yinping felt scared and finally nodded fiercely.
Latiya took out a small bottle and handed it to Guan Yinping, looking as if she was still a little reluctant to give up.
"What's this?"
"This is the gallbladder solution of a kind of desert snake in the Western Regions. It has an aphrodisiac effect. As long as you drink it, you will definitely have sex. You go in and pretend to toast that person, then change the wine glass, and stay with him for less than a quarter of an hour. , he will not be able to help but attack you."
"Ah?" Guan Yinping's little face turned pale with fright. He almost dropped the small bottle of medicine on the ground and hurriedly waved his hands: "This, how can this be done? How can I use such despicable means? Then I am not a bitch. Are you a woman? No, no, no."
Looking at Latia's fearful expression, Latia felt helpless. She just felt that these Han people were really Luo Li Suo. Men were so nagging and chirping. If a man from the Western Regions had a beautiful woman who expressed his love, he would have pounced on her long ago.
I didn’t expect women to be like this, so I had to educate them.
…
"I understand." Huang Yueying listened to Liu Zhang's explanation and repeated: "My Lord, there are four purposes of setting the capital in Peking. The first is to control the grassland. The second is to control Goguryeo. The third is to control the Japanese slaves. The fourth is to regulate The internal balance of Sichuan military power, right?"
Liu Zhang nodded: "Yes, what do you think of Yueying?"
"Not so much." Huang Yueying said: "I'm just very curious as to why my lord is so interested in Goguryeo and the Japanese slaves. According to Yueying's wishes, if we must expand our territory, we might as well go south.
At that time, Emperor Xiaowu, who was similar to his lord, also reached the desert in the north and Dawan in the west. However, Emperor Xiaowu conquered the entire Luoyue Kingdom, but only captured the northern part of what is now Goguryeo and established four counties.
In addition to being more ambitious than Emperor Xiaowu, my lord also values Goguryeo more and does not like other territories. He is also particularly interested in the island country of Japan, which I cannot understand at all."
Liu Zhang slapped his forehead, and he knew that Huang Yueying did not agree with what he said, and all the words he just said were in vain.
As a future generation, when it comes to developing Southeast Asia and expanding Northeast Asia, it must be expanding Northeast Asia.
As long as the capital is Peking, Liu Zhang has absolute confidence to completely take over the Korean peninsula, and the Japanese slaves will be fully controlled within 5-5 years. It all depends on the future development of the navy and opium.
As for fighting in the south, Liu Zhang had no interest in those barren lands for the time being. He just asked Zhuge Liang to act as he saw fit and take advantage if he could, and not take advantage of him.
Liu Zhang was thinking about how to explain, but Huang Yueying spoke first: "But no matter what, the lord has explained it to Yueying like this, even if he doesn't understand it, Yueying should not stop the lord.
What's more, many times, some of the decisions made by the lord, such as direct control of the Western Regions and grasslands, and the New Deal, Yueying did not understand at the beginning. Facts have proved that the lord was right.
It was the same this time, at least within the tolerance of the big man, Yueying had no objection.
However, there are two major drawbacks to setting the capital in Peking. First, it will encounter internal opposition. Yueying has already told the lord just now, and the lord is wise and should know it, so he will do so many cover-ups.
Another point is the control of the territory of the Han Dynasty. Yizhou in the west is our base camp and should not lose control. The Western Regions are poor and sparsely populated. As long as the Tianwei of the Han Dynasty is still there, the Western Regions will not lose control. They have not
The strength of rebellion.
The key is the south. Jiangdong has not been captured yet. If it is captured, it will be the weakest point of our Sichuan army's control. Moreover, the people of Jiangdong have always been very conservative and underdeveloped.
Once we set the capital in Peiping, it will be too far away from Jiangdong and it will be difficult to communicate between the north and the south. If we are strong enough, Jiangdong will not be out of control, but it will definitely become very poor because it is far away from the royal capital.
Yueying feels that that place should definitely not be a poor place. Yueying once traveled to Jiangdong. Although it is not prosperous, the land is almost as fertile as Jingzhou. We should develop it.
But if the capital is Beiping, it will be difficult for us to develop there, and we will waste a good land in vain."
Huang Yueying's words made Liu Zhang a little surprised. The land of Jiangdong had never been the economic center of China before the Southern Song Dynasty. Instead, it had a bit of a barbaric feel.
The main grain-producing areas have always been Jingzhou. Jiangdong, which is now Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and part of Fujian and Guangdong, have always been very poor. They prospered briefly in the Southern Song Dynasty, but later declined due to isolation from the country, and did not develop again until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
It's not because the land in Jiangdong is not good, but because it's across the vast Yangtze River and far away from the ruling center, so it didn't develop. It really shouldn't have happened.
"As for the first point, most of our current civil and military officials will definitely oppose moving the capital, so I asked Cao Chong not to disclose the purpose first, but to dredge the roads from Jixian to all directions, increase the population and prosperity, and prepare the material conditions for the capital.
Including canonizing you as King of Yan, it is also a cover-up of the construction of some important facilities, such as the palace. When the time comes, I will not ask for their consent, but will find a way to trick all civil and military personnel into coming to Peiping, and the capital will be settled."
"Come to Peiping by tricking someone?" Huang Yueying was surprised.
"As for the second point, the Jiangdong territory really shouldn't be abandoned. Yueying, I have an idea. It will take decades, or even two or three generations, to open a grand canal from north to south. In this way, the connection between the north and the south will be greater.
At the same time, we can also transfer water from south to north to make up for the lack of water resources in the north."
"This is a huge project, which wastes people and money."
"kindness."
Liu Zhang nodded. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal would definitely waste people and money, but Liu Zhang was not too worried because Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty spent so much on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that it caused a large-scale rebellion.
It was just because of two things. First, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wanted to travel on a big ship and built palaces everywhere near the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The cost of his travels was more than the cost of building the Grand Canal.
Also, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was too anxious and spent so little time building the Grand Canal, which of course wasted money and people.
Liu Zhang would not have the leisure and elegance to go on a boat trip, nor would he have the time, and he would also do what he could, depending on the man's financial resources. If financial resources allowed, he would speed up the opening of the project. If financial resources were tight, he would take care of key departments first.
Now Liu Zhang just asked Cao Chong to dredge the channel from Peiping to the Yellow River. Moreover, such a river channel is completely in line with the interests of merchants, and they can raise funds from merchants.
Step by step, even if it costs a lot, it should not shake the foundation of the country, and this is something that will last for a long time.
Throughout history, any thing that has benefited China for generations is not something that wastes people and money or even triggers a civil uprising. If there is no courage that wastes people and money, then there is no need to be a king.
"Although there are still some areas where Yueying has reservations, since the Lord has decided, Yueying will definitely support it fully." Huang Yueying said firmly to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang felt relieved, and it was indeed better to tell him.
"Don't hesitate, those two people have reconciled."
Outside, Latia said eagerly to Guan Yinping, for some reason, Liu Zhang "carefully apologized" to Huang Yueying at first, Latia felt better, but now seeing Liu Zhang coaxing Huang Yueying to nod firmly, as if she had forgiven Liu Zhang, she felt in her heart
On the contrary, it feels uncomfortable.
"I……"
Guan Yinping didn't know what the reconciliation between Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying had to do with him, but he didn't want to ask Latia. After Latia's confusing words, Guan Yinping felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
"Stop hesitating, go in quickly, otherwise how long will it take? Think about it, when you are gray-haired, but the man beside you is not him, and you think of today's hesitation, how do you feel?"
"Wait until I turn gray-haired?"
Guan Yinping was startled, and that picture suddenly appeared. When he was old and could no longer walk, but the person beside him was not the person he liked when he was young. Thinking of today's hesitation again, how would he feel at that time?
Guan Yinping thought of this and without hesitation, she held the small medicine bottle and stepped forward. However, Guan Yinping seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned around.
