Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 456 Construction of Luoyang
Fu Hongzhi is naturally a die-hard emperor faction, but it does not mean that he fully supports all the emperor's decisions.

For example, in terms of Hu people.

From the recent arrangements of the emperor, especially the canonization of "Guiyi Shanyu" and "Shunde Khan", it can be seen that the emperor still treats these Hu people with softness.

This general direction is naturally extremely cost-effective and just for the court.

But for generals like Fu Hongzhi, especially those who have fought against the Hu people for a long time, this is not a satisfactory way to deal with them.

Even if these barbarians were not to be chopped off as military exploits, at least they would have to ride on their heads and domineering for a while.

Do silage?
Plant trees?

Is this enough?
In fact, Fu Hongzhi was a veritable hawk in his bones, but when he thought of the emperor's favor to him, he followed the emperor's wishes to appease the barbarians in Jincheng.

But now Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for Fu Hongzhi.

It is much better to stuff all the barbarians into the workshop than to let them continue wandering in the grassland!

In the future, just let the Han people continue to farm leisurely, and then use the grain in their hands to hold the life of these Hu people.

This will not let the Hu people squeeze the living space of the Han people, but also allocate more land to the Han people, why not do it?

This is just the benefit that Fu Hongzhi came up with.

Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi had stayed in Zhongshu Province for a period of time and witnessed the success of the workshop model.

They know how much profit those humble small workshops can generate!
In recent years, why did Liu Song's land mergers decrease?

Those aristocratic families and officials of the government are all full of oil in their mouths, who would mess with poor and white farmers?

Occupying the land will not only cause trouble, but may also be targeted by Jin Yiwei, which is not worthwhile!
Moreover, there is an inexplicable advantage in the Central Plains in Hetao.

In the Central Plains, those who set up workshops still have to take care of the common people who work in the workshops.

After all, these workshop owners have received Confucian education, have etiquette and morality, and are bound by clan blood.No matter how harsh it is, there will be some "warmth" left.

But in Hetao...

Both Liu Gui and Chigan Ali are crazily harming their own clansmen and accumulating wealth for themselves. Those barbarians in the workshops really don't deserve it every day, and the land doesn't work.

In addition to human factors, Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi also revealed a piece of news to Fu Hongzhi——

"We found that there are rich minerals at the foot of Helan Mountain! How much money can you make by peeling wool? Those mines are the big ones!"

Fu Hongzhi: "..."

God knows what these two people have learned from the emperor's side!
Looking at these two young men who were the same age as his own son, Fu Hongzhi suddenly felt "I'm getting old" from the bottom of my heart...

"Forget it, you can do whatever you like, but private mining is a capital offense! You must report it to the emperor!"

After all, Fu Hongzhi didn't have the guts to make things so big.

Relying on his previous military exploits, he was also conferred the title of marquis, only one step away from the duke, so he couldn't afford to take risks.

not to mention.

Both Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi were brought out by the emperor, no matter how serious the crime is, the emperor will take care of it...

Changan.

After all, the importance of governing the Hetao is only Liu Yizhen's "wishful thinking", and there is no guarantee that a second-hand man in the future will fight against Liu Yizhen and cut down all the trees in the Hetao.

Governing the Loop has never been an end, but a process.

The real purpose is always the big river.

Liu Yizhen wants to take Dahe as the center and bind an interest group that no one dares to take a knife lightly. This is the best solution to ensure that "the government will not be extinguished".

"Chang'an's radiation to the Central Plains is limited after all. Coupled with the growing prosperity in the south of the Yangtze River, Chang'an alone is no longer enough to control the entire world."

"Therefore, I decided to build Luoyang!"

Compared with Chang'an, Luoyang is closer to the Central Plains. Setting this place as Liu Song's second center will undoubtedly strengthen the imperial court's control over the Central Plains.

At the same time, it can also ease the population pressure in Guanzhong.

However, the construction of Luoyang is obviously not something that Liu Yizhen can build by just talking about it.

It's not the same as when Wang Maide built Chang'an back then, building a city would count as a successful construction.

The purpose of building Luoyang is far from just building a city.

Emperor Sui Yang of later generations gave a very beautiful answer——

Build the Grand Canal to connect the north and the south with Luoyang as the center.

So the city is not the key, but how to communicate with the north and the south is the key.

It's just that Emperor Sui Yang chose the "Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal", which is as time-consuming and labor-intensive as the "Great Wall", and ended up playing himself and the Great Sui to death...

With such a "lesson from others", of course Liu Yizhen will not rush to build the Grand Canal.

What's more, Yang Guang dared to play like this because his father left him the foundation of "the rule of the emperor".

What do you have?
In addition, Liu Yizhen's goal is Dahe, so he can't run everywhere!
"When King Hejian (Liu Yilong) was in Luoyang, he built a canal to communicate with Huaisi."

"But these two rivers are only inland rivers after all, and their transportation capacity is limited."

Liu Yizhen tapped a point in Jiankang with his hand, and then waved his hand, pointing out the bay, and went north all the way around the Shandong Peninsula to the mouth of the river.

"The imperial court can use the sea to connect the great river with the Yangtze River, and at the same time connect Luoyang with the whole north and south."

Liu Yizhen's proposal didn't seem so crazy.

Maritime transport was played by Emperor Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.

The Liaodong Kingdom of the Gongsun family is Sun Quan's trading partner, so he sent some war horses there, hoping that Sun Quan could continue to cause trouble for Cao Wei in the south, so as not to be targeted.

Later, the two ended badly, but they were also regarded as pioneers of "maritime trade".

After 200 years, sea-going ship technology has also been steadily improving, especially in the South China Sea, where it is said that "blessed ships" with large sails have been manufactured.

As for the transportation capacity of the big river, it is also very online now, and it has not been reduced to the news of later generations that ships will sink into the mud at every turn.

The only problem is that people in this era are afraid of the sea.

For the Chinese civilization, the sea seems to be as distant and mysterious as the moon.Therefore, they have become the illusory intentions of countless literati.

But it's not hopeless.

There are even people like Wanhu who dare to pursue the moon. How can a mere sea stop the pace of a nation?

Fear, just because you don't understand.

The sea is vast, but not unconquerable!
Liu Yizhen looked at Gao Yun and asked him: "I remember who you were repairing the calendar with before?"

Gao Yun remembered it clearly: "Dare to ask if Your Majesty wants to ask He Chengtian?"

"Yes! It's him!"

Liu Yizhen rubbed his hands excitedly: "What is he doing? Hurry up and call him, I have something important for him! Who else in the world can't beat this sailing matter?"
