Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 196
After Liu Ling finished talking about Dongye's experience, he silently closed his mouth, lowered his eyes, and waited quietly.

Liu An's face was a little dark, and there was more blame than joy in his eyes, and even a little more anger.He looked at the map drawn by Liu Ling with a lot of thought, his clear and slender fingers tapped on the surface like a galloping horse.As Liu Ling listened, he suddenly remembered the story Zheng Er had told, imagined the scene when Liang Xiao and others galloped on horses, and Wei Qing stretched out his hand from the smoke to hug Zheng Er by the waist, and he couldn't help being dazed.

Will there be a day when Liang Xiao will gallop over on a horse and pick me up by the waist?
"Hmmm!" Seeing that Liu Ling's expression was not right, Liu An coughed unhappily.Liu Qian, who was sitting on the side, secretly smiled. Seeing Liu An's majestic gaze swept over him, he quickly stopped his smile and pretended to be serious.

"Ling'er, I'm afraid it's impossible to relocate the title. Not to mention whether the emperor can agree, I've been running Huainan for so many years, how can I just give up if I just give up. Besides, even if I am willing to suffer like that, are those disciples willing? It's so easy Gathered [-] diners, could it be that they dispersed all at once?"

Liu Ling pondered for a moment. "What the father said is very true. However, things will not be established without warning. What the father is doing is a big event, how can he advance without retreat? The daughter is not filial, and she is willing to build a cave overseas for the father. If things happen in the future, it will be for the daughter. The fiefdom, in case of being honest, can be regarded as a place of refuge."

Liu An was still hesitating, but Liu Qian's eyes lit up, he pondered for a while, and took the conversation away. "Father, my son also thinks what my sister said is reasonable. It's rare for a younger sister to be so filial. Why don't my father help her. It's always good to have one more preparation."

"What do you know?!" Liu An snapped, "If your sister goes overseas, who will be in charge of Chang'an, you?"

Liu Qian was so scolded that his face was red and his ears were red, so he shouldn't say anything for a while.Liu Ling twisted his mouth, and said again: "Father, it doesn't take much time to operate overseas. I can still take care of Chang'an for the time being. There are many talents under my brother's command. Put some thought into picking a few who can To replace me, when the time is right, it will not be too late for me to withdraw from Chang'an."

Liu Qian was relieved, and quickly agreed. "Yes, yes, my sister is right, so don't be in a hurry."

Liu An looked at the pair of children and couldn't help but sighed. "Unfortunately, you happen to be a daughter. It would be great if you were a man."

……

Yan Zhu's errand in Dongou went smoothly.The Fujian and Yue troops retreated, and Dongou was preserved. The king of Dongou was naturally overjoyed, and he was extremely respectful to Yan Zhu and his party.Not only did Yan Zhu's luggage double, but even Liang Xiao and the others got a bit of money.Of course, compared with Yan Zhu's, it's nothing worth mentioning.

As the saying goes, the mouth that eats people is soft, but the hand that grabs people is short. King Dongou posed a difficult problem for Yan Zhu: internal attachment.

The so-called internal attachment means to go to the king's title and belong to the Han land.I will no longer be a king, I will be a citizen of the great man.It is estimated that the king of Dongou was also bullied by Minyue. When he was a kingdom, he could only ask the court to mediate. If he was attached, the big man would have the responsibility to protect him in the future, and Minyue would not be able to bully him anymore.

The king of Dongou was very sincere, not only took the initiative to ask to go to the king, but also asked to move the people inland, so that they would no longer border Minyue. I want to move to the inland, far away from Minyue.

This is of course a great achievement, but this matter is also beyond the scope of Yan Zhu's power, and he must report to the court.It is easy to say in the attached article that the relocation involves a problem: where will the tens of thousands of people in Dongou move to, and who will be responsible for the various expenses?
Yan Zhu didn't dare to be arbitrary, so he wrote a memorial and asked the emperor for instructions.

Dong Ye is not close to Chang'an, and it takes at least half a month to come and go.Seeing that Yan Zhu didn't intend to leave for a long time, the officials who were eager to return could not help but discuss in private.They were all personal protectors of Yan Zhu, and most of them knew that the King of Dongou was going to move inland, so they naturally talked about this issue.

That night, several people gathered around the fire, drinking wine and chatting.Most of the Langguans are from the north, and they are not used to this kind of wet and cold weather. They put on all the winter clothes on their bodies, warmed themselves by the fire, and shivered from the cold, so they could only rely on drinking to keep warm.

"Ah Xiao, tell me, if you move inland, where will you move?" Li Jiao arched Liang Xiao's shoulders and said carelessly.

Liang Xiao refused. "This is a matter for the court. The emperor and ministers discuss it. How can we discuss it casually?"

"Why can't we discuss it?" Li Jiao said: "As a Lang official, once he is released, he is at least a county magistrate or county lieutenant. How can he be ignorant of political affairs? Whether it is the guard of the emperor or the escort of the envoy, it is all for the purpose of increasing knowledge. To prepare for being an official in the future. Sigh, do you think this is the case?"

While cursing the hellish weather, the officials all echoed Li Jiao, taking the world as their responsibility without shame.Liang Xiao was infected by their passion, but he still smiled and said: "You guys, forget it, your intentions are good, but how many days have you been studying? Riding horses and archery, fighting with people, you are good at it, but if you really want to To manage government affairs, you have to be a scholar like Master Yan."

"Hey, you kid, why are you turning your arms out?"

"Seek truth from facts. Don't say anything else, let you look at the roster of a county and calculate the money and food. Do you have the patience?"

The Lang Guan laughed, and one Lang Guan waved his hand disdainfully. "That kind of thing, just leave it to the scholars. There is no one who can do it himself. Governance by doing nothing, do you know what is governance by doing nothing? It means that we just drink and leave things to our subordinates. You say, right?"

Liang Xiao didn't say anything more.There's no reason to talk to these bastards.It has been nearly 70 years since the early Han Dynasty practiced governance by doing nothing. It has to be said that the idea of ​​governance by doing nothing is deeply rooted in the minds of many people.Where can they see that ruling by doing nothing is no longer adapting to the new situation.

Seeing Liang Xiao's silence, the officials were even more proud. Whatever you say, I say happily.In their hearts, no matter how smart Liang Xiao was, he was still a younger brother who had just joined the job for less than half a year. Compared with them, his experience was far behind.They were talking happily when Yan Zhu walked in and waved his hands.

The Lang officials immediately closed their mouths, winked at each other, and then stood up unhurriedly.

Liang Xiao also stood up.

Yan Zhu walked among them, found a place near the fire and sat down, stretched out his hands to warm the fire, and said slowly: "Sit down."

The Lang officials sat down reluctantly.With Yan Zhu present, they were no longer as relaxed as they were just now. They looked like gourds with their mouths sawn off, and they kept silent, with no smile lines on their faces.Yan Zhu ignored them, and said casually: "Liang Xiao, although you don't read much, you are quite insightful. What do you think about Dongou's relocation?"

Liang Xiao was silent for a moment, then declined, "My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

Yan Zhu waved his hand. "It's okay, I asked you. If something happens, I will take care of it."

Liang Xiao smiled.He didn't know what Yan Zhu was planning, but since he said this, he could say it with confidence.Even if Yan Zhu wanted to dig a hole for him, Wei Qing and Qin Ge would clean up for him.

He pondered for a moment, and asked without answering: "I don't know where your lord thinks that the imperial court will move the emperor and ministers of Dongou?"

Yan Zhu stared at Huo with an obscure light in his eyes. "What do you think?"

"If there is no accident, it should be around Lianghuai, or it may be near Jiangdu."

Yan Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly, noncommittal. "Is this right?"

"Not right." Liang Xiao said without hesitation.Yan Zhu was a little surprised, glanced at him, then looked away, and twitched the corner of his mouth. "why?"

"There are two things wrong." Liang Xiao took a clean wine glass, poured some wine, washed the glass, poured it out, poured more than half of the glass, and handed it to Assistant Yan.Yan Zhu hesitated for a moment, took it in his hand, took a sip, and nodded in satisfaction.

Liang Xiao then said: "The first point is wrong. Minyue has sent troops many times, even harassing Kuaiji, in order to annex Dongou. In order to stop them, His Majesty ordered the Lord to go out with integrity. Your Excellency is strategizing, and the soldiers will serve you On the battlefield, it is considered to repel Minyue. Now moving Dongou inland is tantamount to giving up the land of Dongou. My lord, where is your credit?"

Yan Zhu didn't move, but the wine glass in his hand shook, and a few drops of wine splashed out of the glass and fell into the fire, hissing.

"Furthermore, whether it is Jiangdu or Huainan, mergers have become popular, and countless people are on the verge of bankruptcy. Tens of thousands of people in Dongou have moved there. Where can we get the land for them? If the land problem cannot be solved, how can we guarantee them? Live and work in peace?"

Yan Zhu sucked in his nose, took a breath, and then let it out slowly.

"So what do you think?"

Liang Xiao smiled wryly again.Yan Zhu saw it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a small talk. It comes out of your mouth and into my ears. No one will spread it. You also remember it. Just listen to it. Don't spread it outside, so as not to spread it to Liang. Xiao is inconvenient."

The Lang officials looked at each other, and Li Jiao gave Liang Xiao winks one after another, telling him to stop talking.Liang Xiao was indifferent.On the way to Dongye, he heard Liu Ling talk about many things, especially about the southeast area.Coupled with his understanding of history, he has far-reaching insights than Yan Zhu on this type of issue.He originally planned to find an opportunity to tell the emperor after he went back, but now that Yan Zhu took the initiative to listen, how could he miss the opportunity.

Besides, he also wanted to see what Yan Zhu's intentions were.

"Since your lord is very kind, I'll say it. If you're wrong, please advise me." Liang Xiao said a few words politely, and refilled some wine for Yan Zhu. "Instead of letting Dongou move inward, it is better to emigrate to the border of the town. Move the landless people in the Jianghuai area to Dongou and Kuaiji, and encourage them to develop wasteland."

"Immigrate to the edge of the town?" Yan Zhu was stunned, looking straight at Liang Xiao, his eyes narrowed, full of doubt and surprise. "You...how did you come up with this plan, which expert taught you?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "Do adults also think this is a feasible strategy?"

Yan Zhu realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly looked away and smiled twice. "This strategy is indeed feasible, but... the time has not yet come. Liang Xiao, you have insight, but you still lack some experience. In a few years, you will understand."

Neither humble nor overbearing, Liang Xiao bowed slightly. "Thank you for your advice, my lord."
