Chapter 320 An Emperor Draws Three Circles 【Ticket Request】

For anyone, what Huo Qubing throws is undoubtedly an olive branch.

He is not only the ceiling of the military general of the dynasty, but also has outstanding military exploits.He is still the emperor's most important confidant, brother-in-law, plus 'son'.

Well, it's not quite accurate to describe it as a godson.

The emperor trusted Huo Qubing heavily, even more than his parents.

This is the answer given by history.

"I am very grateful for Huo Hou's attention, but there are many generals in the Han Dynasty. General Wei and Huo Hou are not famous generals in the world, and they are talented. My talent and ambition are not on the battlefield." Su Wu refused very simply.

Huo Qubing was not surprised, he nodded slightly, and did not bring up this topic again.

In recent years, the Great Han has conquered the surrounding countries, large and small, and the number of tribes, nationalities, and vassal states that have been integrated into the Han has continued to increase.

The Emperor has raised the power of the 'Dian Guo'.

The official position of the Dian vassal state is to be in charge of handling and administering the affairs related to the vassal state, which is equivalent to the foreign minister of the Han Dynasty.

According to the historical line, Su Wu will pay homage to Dian's vassal state in the future and be in charge of nine translation orders.

However, because he delayed the most important 20 years of being an official, he herded sheep in the Huns and became a Han official after returning to China, without much achievement.

Now that there is no need to go to the Xiongnu to herd sheep, Su Wu should be able to go further in the future.

Huo Guang and Su Wu took their seats at the lower seat.

Before taking his seat, Huo Guang quietly looked at the distance between the kneeling mat and the left and right table corners, and made sure that the kneeling mat was placed in the middle before he sat down with confidence.

Several people chatted and ate.

After Huo Qubing noticed that Huo Guang was seated, he fixed his eyes on the dishes on his side several times, with an indescribably uncomfortable expression.

Huo Qubing glanced at his bowl and chopsticks, thought for a while, and raised his hand to adjust the way the chopsticks were placed randomly, one high and one low.

Huo Guang suddenly let out a long breath, his expression relaxed.

The obsessive-compulsive disorder is in the late stage, there is no cure... Huo Qubing thought to himself.

After dinner, Huo Guang went with Su Wu.

Huo Qubing took Liu Qing to the military mansion on the outskirts of the city, and ordered Ji Qiu to start trying to make all the artifacts of the secret pattern army, such as horseshoes, arrow clusters and other small things, to try first.

Liu Qing was a little surprised when he came over.

Because between the Forbidden Army camp and the military mansion on the outskirts of the city, construction is being carried out.

On the official road from the northeast to Chang'an, there is an endless stream of cars and horses.Carloads of copper and iron raw materials were transported over.

The ore veins previously explored in the Northeast have been mined by ink workers, and some of them have been transported to Chang'an after preliminary processing for Ji Qiu and others to forge ordnance.

On the first floor of the Secret Realm of the Military Mansion, the Forbidden Army practiced day and night, sweating profusely.

On the second floor of the secret realm, Ji Qiu was walking and talking with a few people:

"You blame me now, maybe you will thank me after a while."

"We practice Mohism, and only by attaching to a country can we have the opportunity to forge national weapons.

If you can build a city or forge weapons to resist foreign enemies, you can earn energy.Isn't it a good thing to improve your practice? "

Several people around refuted it together: "You didn't say that before, clinging to the current dynasty is also inconsistent with my Mohist practice.

This time I really fell for your tricks! "

"Ji Qiuyou lied to us, how are you at ease?"

These people are Mohist cultivators, originally scattered all over the world, some live in seclusion, some make a living by accepting some sects, forging utensils from dignitaries' homes, and protecting the mountain gates.

There are not a few Mohist children who do not want to serve the court.

When Ji Qiu entered Huo Qubing's command at the beginning, he belonged to the reformed re-employment personnel who were rescued from Zonghengdao.

However, after working for Huo Qubing for a period of time, he found that he could give full play to his strengths, and the things he produced could also enhance national power, resist foreign enemies, give back the strength he had brought back, and improve his practice.

A virtuous circle fully embodies the value of life.

Ji Qiu now feels that being a laborer is really good.

However, the Han Dynasty is currently undergoing drastic development, and there is an urgent shortage of Mohist talents.

Huo Qubing then asked Ji Qiu to call more Mohist cultivators for Han to use.

Ji Qiu readily agreed, and contacted him to get acquainted, and the Mohists who traveled all over the world came to Chang'an.

These Mohists arrived at the appointment, and only after they arrived did they realize that there were forbidden soldiers following them closely, and they would not let them leave when they came.

Ji Qiu acted as a lobbyist, and showed up to say: Look at how good I am now, working hard.

The Mo family was tricked by him to come to work, and only a part of them came at the moment. Moxiu, who didn't know the details, was still coming here one after another.

At this time, inside and outside Chang'an City, there was a steady stream of horses and horses, and all kinds of people gathered together.

When Huo Qubing and Liu Qing returned to the residence, it was already dark.

The fiery sunset, withdrew the last ray of afterglow, and quietly set down the mountain.

After the husband and wife returned home, they entered the clear pool to bathe and do some favorite things.

Liu Qing diagnosed the happy pulse, but there was no fetal movement, and no abnormalities could be felt.

However, the couple are already overjoyed, and have studied the origin and evolution of Bansu life.

The night is getting darker.

Liu Qing was wearing a warm apricot-colored lining, which was silky and thin. The middle shirt was slightly open. There were two playful shoulder sockets on both sides of the delicate collarbone. The skin was creamy, and the chest formed a full slope.

"Husband, the doctor said that she is pregnant and will not be able to have intercourse for at least three months.

How about letting my two accompanying maids serve your husband? "

The high-ranking households all have housemaids, and when the owner is inconvenient, they are responsible for untiing Diao Chan from his waist and finding another place to put him.

If the male master is willing, they can also be given the title of concubine after they are favored.

As the princess of Liu Qing, the girls who serve her are also carefully selected and charming.

Waiting outside the dormitory is the maid who is ready to serve the dormitory at any time.

Liu Qing's eyebrows were charming, and he said again: "If your husband has his own heart and doesn't like my maid, you can take a concubine yourself."

Huo Qubing said: "My husband is going to teach you some new skills first."

"?" Liu Qing was puzzled.

That night, Her Royal Highness really learned a lot of new things, and deeply understood the essence of human relations and culture.

For example, being unable to speak with one's mouth, and being unable to carry one's shoulders on one's shoulders are all in the category of Yin Yang Art.

……

Throughout the next day, Liu Qing's complexion was ruddy, and he gave Huo Qubing several supercilious glances.

She brushed her teeth and took a shower before changing to Liang Yuan where the embroidery was located.

Huo Qubing went to court early, and then returned to the Palace of the Forbidden Army to deal with military affairs.

On the morning of early November, the sun outside the window was clear.

Huo Qubing took a list of the generals of the imperial army and examined them carefully.

There are [-] forbidden troops, and there are more than [-] people above the general level.

Huo Qubing is considering the adjustment of the military system.

And these officers above the general level are the first batch of adjustment targets.

If you want the Han army to be stronger, you must not only have good training and equipment.The military system, including people's livelihood, must keep up and be used as a backing.

After the Spring and Autumn Period, the most important military reform was Hu Fu riding and shooting, which came from Zhao in the Warring States Period.

At that time, King Wuling of Zhao discovered that the Hu people wore narrow-sleeved short jackets, which were more convenient for daily life, hunting and combat.

Compared with the chariots and spears of the Central Plains, the use of cavalry, bows and arrows in combat has greater flexibility.

At that time, Zhao's army mainly consisted of infantry and chariot soldiers.Often before the army can react, the barbarians have already finished fighting and fled, and they can't even catch up.

So King Wu Ling proposed to learn the simplicity and quickness of Hufu riding and shooting, so as to carry forward the cavalry.

This is the most important innovation in the concept of cold weapon warfare in history.

When Zhao Jun started to dress lightly, he formed a cavalry formation through standardized and hard training, and soon surpassed the Hu people.

Later generations also continued this reform system, and established one strong army after another in different periods.

The common wish of the emperor, Huo Qubing, and Wei Qing is to let the Chinese language, Han culture, and the glory of the Han people be deeply imprinted in the bones of future generations and passed on forever.

To achieve this, the most important foundation is a strong country and a strong army!

Huo Qubing's primary goal is to clarify the military merit system, so that the promotion method of the Han army is clearer.

To put it simply, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and demerits must be punished, which further encourages the troops to fight bravely.

Of course, a strong army must be in line with national strength, national policy, and the monarch's ideas in order to achieve good results.

Huo Qubing was going to adjust some of them first to see the effect.

After reviewing the list of generals and schools of the Imperial Army, Huo Qubing took out the cultivation methods left by Zi Zi.

Zi's ​​practice as a political strategist and novelist is very profound.

Huo Qubing inspected his practice, thinking about further digging out the secrets hidden behind it.

Some of the methods of sending messages through bamboo slips require unique practice to use, and Bai Nanyu can't correspond to the transmission.

Huo Qubing took his spare time to study Zi's practice, just to see if there is any secret behind this part.

In the afternoon, Huo Qubing was summoned by the emperor and came to the study of Weiyang Palace.

Dong Zhongshu, Li Cai, Zhang Tang, Wei Qing, Cheng Bushi and other civil and military personnel gathered together.

The emperor looked around at the crowd: "Recently, I, Prime Minister Gongsun, Li Yushi, Zhang Tang, Master and others jointly formulated 21 new policies.

These new policies will be promulgated one after another and spread throughout the world.I invite you to come here, I want to hear your opinions. "

Dong Xu, the servant, presented each of the bamboo slips for everyone to watch.

What is written on the volume is a series of new policies implemented by the emperor, a total of 21 items.Involved in all aspects of people's livelihood, such as civil, legal, commercial and so on.

The so-called people's livelihood refers to the daily life of the people, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

In governing a country, in addition to the regulation of the emperor and ministers, things that can affect the ups and downs of people's livelihood also include natural disasters, floods and earthquakes.

In particular, the intensity of floods is extremely high.

All dynasties have governed the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Huanghuai Sea, the lower reaches of the Liaohe River, and South China.

The country's huge financial needs and excessive currency issuance may also lead to rising prices and affect people's livelihood.

How to adjust these things is what the minister and the emperor need to do.

The policy issued by the emperor is to regulate these matters, and all subordinate ministries must cooperate with it.

After everyone had read the brief scrolls, the emperor asked, "What's your opinion?
Da Sinong, you speak first. "

Da Sinong, one of the Nine Ministers, said: "After the founding of the Han Dynasty, I followed part of the system left by the Qin Dynasty, and cultivated twice a year in the Guanzhong area, and now it has expanded to various counties and counties.

This year, the land veins will be abundant and there will be no major disasters, which can ensure a good year.

After the autumn harvest, the treasury made a preliminary inventory, and the increase in grain and product income was [-]% more than last year.

His Majesty proposed in the new policy that two new dams will be built next year, and the increase in income will be sufficient to support it. "

An increase of [-]% means an increase in income of more than [-]% compared to last year, which is not bad... Huo Qubing converted it into the income increase ratio of later generations, secretly calculating.

The emperor asked: "How is the progress of the salt and iron business?"

Products and food supplies can ensure that the people can eat enough, while salt and iron are the main source of tax revenue increase and the foundation of the national treasury.

A smile appeared on Da Sinong's slightly fat and rich face:
"Your Majesty has been preparing for the rectification of the salt and iron affairs two or three years ago, and now the salt and iron private sector is being taken over to the local private sector. The resistance is not too great. General Wei, Huohou has been able to defeat powerful enemies with his troops in recent years, and he has suppressed many things. Got down and made the place without the courage to bounce back.

Therefore, the ministers can carry out the New Deal according to His Majesty's orders, and have achieved initial results. "

Da Sinong's words were quite tactful, boasting in every way.

The emperor also had a slight smile on his face, turned his gaze to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and pointed to a border map not far away.

On that picture, the emperor drew two large scarlet circles and one small circle.

The big circle is west and north, and the small circle is in the extreme west of the Western Region.

The big circle to the west is Qiang and Di, including the land of Nanyue to the south, which is the border trouble west of Han.

To the north is the Huns.

The westernmost small circle is Dawan in the west of the Western Regions.

The three circles marked by the emperor himself are what he plans to do in the next stage, and they are also the goals that the big man will solve in the next stage.

The first is to eliminate border troubles, and the second is to continue to expand the territory.

The small circle is the emperor's interest.

The emperor said: "Lang Zhongling, you brought down the Western Regions, and you are in charge of everything. I heard that there is a country in the Western Regions called Dawan, and the horses are quite good."

Huo Qubing looked at the small circle on the map, it was Dawan's position: His Majesty has set his sights on Dawan's horse.

This incident was quite famous during Emperor Wu's reign, but it was obviously ahead of schedule.

Historically, after Liu Che returned to the Western Regions, he hoped that Dawan would pay tribute to horses.

Although Dawan was far enough away from Han, although the country was small, it didn't take the emperor's order seriously, and wrote back sarcastically, ignoring the emperor's will at all.

At that time Huo Qubing, Wei Qing was dead, and the country had no generals, so he sent Li Guangli, a mediocre general of the second division, to conquer Dawan, losing troops and losing generals.
