Han Shizu

Chapter 995
The matter between Su and Yang can only be regarded as a small episode for the current Emperor Liu.At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the two prime ministers who used to share power and call the wind and rain in the Han court are now just two old people who need sympathy and forgiveness from the emperor with a gesture of mercy.

It is undeniable that Liu Chengyou has really moved his mind to pardon the second minister. For the current Emperor Liu, he only needs to move his mouth.Moreover, it is conceivable that all public officials and officials will praise the emperor for his "magnanimity".

Of course, within a short period of time, Liu Chengyou still didn't plan to recall the two elders to the court, and the time was not enough.But it doesn't take too long, as soon as the south is settled, they can be invited to participate in the reunification celebration banquet.

In Liu Chengyou's mind, such a scene has already emerged: in the magnificent and magnificent Chongyuan Hall, the seats are full of meritorious officials, and the ceremony and music are singing together. Ask him calmly: How is my emperor doing?
"What do you think about Luzhou's play, mobilizing people's power and digging Taixing Dao?" In the Chongzheng Hall, Liu Chengyou communicated with Prince Liu Yang as usual.

"Accommodating transportation and strengthening the connection and exchanges between Hedong and Hebei are also in compliance with Dad's policy of opening up roads, so I think it can be approved!" After thinking about it, Liu Yang replied.

Over the years, the Han court led by Liu Chengyou has paid special attention to the improvement of road traffic, which is not only beneficial to the transportation of military affairs, finance and taxation, but also promotes economic development and prosperity.

Because the country's political, economic, and military center is in Kaifeng, in the Huangbian River Basin, coupled with flooding factors, most of the imperial court's human resources are actually invested in improving waterways and dredging rivers and canals.

However, on land, it is impossible to completely ignore it, but the direct leadership of the imperial court is relatively small, and most of them are left to the local government, while the central government plays the role of approval and supervision.Although it is relatively scattered, it has achieved considerable results over the years.

For example, in the Taihang Road, from north to south, there have been 53 large and small road opening projects in the past ten years. This is still recorded in the Ministry of Industry.

And in the Taihang Mountains, which traverse east and west, the mountain roads are like blood vessels, which have been opened up and dredged, becoming the lifeblood connecting Hedong and Hebei.By the 13th year of Qianyou, the imperial court had begun to use gunpowder to dig mountains.

For a long time, the military supervisor has been working hard on the research and development of gunpowder, but the emperor can only provide a guiding opinion, or an order, so that they can find ways to improve the performance and power of gunpowder.In terms of actual research, there is no help at all. The greatest role of the emperor is to spur him with administrative orders and encourage him with honor and salary.

In the previous wars, the Han army did not use gunpowder weapons in large quantities. The reason is also very simple. The technology is not mature, and the explosive power is not enough. If you only use its burning ability, it is not as good as kerosene bombs, which are much more powerful and easy to use. too much.

More than ten years of unremitting efforts and special research have finally produced results, and they can already be used for mountain mining. As far as mountain mining is concerned, although the power is still not great, it is indeed revolutionary compared to manpower. progress.

Going back to the topic of opening the road, this time Luzhou Shangzhao is preparing for a big one. There are tens of thousands of people who are planning to expropriate. They plan to continue to widen and flatten the original mountain road on the basis of the original mountain road to thoroughly communicate things.At the same time, because of the restricted use of gunpowder, they also asked the imperial court for gunpowder support, and hoped that they could coordinate with Xiangzhou in the east to start the project from the east, after all, it involved two places.

It is also because the project is relatively large, so this matter will be presented to Liu Chengyou.The magistrate of Luzhou, named Quan Shixiong, was the former minister of Shu. Because he performed well in the process of Pingshu, he made a lot of contributions. After his family moved to the Central Plains, his official fortune was not bad, and he was known as a state capital.

"Since you think it's okay, you can arrange this matter by replying!" Looking at the prince, Liu Chengyou ordered.

"Yes!"

In this regard, Liu Yang was surprised, but also felt pressured.He has already felt that the emperor Laozi is consciously delegating some power to him, but, for some reason, the pressure in his heart is more than joy. His concern is that if things are not handled well, it will be difficult to explain.Taking the opportunity to seize power, Liu Yang didn't have the idea, and he didn't have the courage.

"In addition, remember to warn the Daozhou Yamen that they must be sympathetic to the people and have enough money and food. Every time the country has a major project, it is also the easiest time to cause public grievances. This must be vigilant!" Liu Chengyou reminded: "Especially in the Xiangzhou government. There is not enough manpower, and more love is needed!"

Most of the time, Liu Chengyou still cherishes Minli very much.In the perennial wars and projects, when it should be used, it is used to a large extent, but after that, Liu Chengyou will choose to stop and let the soldiers and civilians of the big man take a breather.Just like recuperating after the Northern Expedition, when doing things for politics, there is always a limit, and there is a bottom line in your heart, and you will never cross it easily. Emperor Liu is very aware of the consequences of abusing people's power.

As for Xiangzhou, it was originally renamed Zhangde Mansion for a period of time, which originated from the Zhangde Army, but it was changed back later, and half of the population of the prefecture and county that belonged to Cizhou was placed under the jurisdiction of Xiangzhou.The reason is that the massacre in Anyang at the beginning hit its population too hard. At that time, most of the scholars and people in Xiangzhou gathered in Anyang to seek refuge, but they were killed by Khitan. 100,000 people.

The heavy loss at that time is still fresh in Liu Chengyou's memory now. After all, he could say that he watched the fire from the other side and waited helplessly for the tragedy to happen.In the following ten years, Xiangzhou has not been able to recover and develop decently. After all, to develop, you must first have people.

Later, after Lu Yin took office, under his governance, politics, economy, and people's livelihood have achieved considerable results, but they still cannot get rid of the sequelae of heavy population damage.It wasn't until the imperial court dismantled Cizhou that a part of the population was replenished.

It was difficult for Liu Yang to empathize with Liu Chengyou's emotion. When he raised his eyes and saw him waiting respectfully, Liu Chengyou couldn't help waving his hand and said, "Go!"

"Let's leave!" Liu Yang felt relieved, bowed and retreated slowly.

Looking at Liu Yang's figure, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but fell into thinking. His prince is generally very satisfied. He is not a genius, but he is diligent enough to study and has the experience of traveling with him.But now, Liu Chengyou feels that there is still a lack of experience. After all, after becoming a prince, he spends most of his time in the deep palace, relying on memorials to govern the country, which Liu Chengyou does not want.

How should I think of a way to continue training the prince?Give him a county and let him govern?It's just a bad street routine!
During Liu Chengyou's consideration, the servant came to report, and Li Chongju, the envoy of Wude, asked to see him.Li Chongju came here obviously to inform him about something, and it directly caused Liu Chengyou to frown: "Your Majesty, there is news from the south that Quanzhou is in civil turmoil!"

"What's going on?" Liu Chengyou's expression twisted slightly.

Today, he only thinks that the world will be fine, so that the big man can carry out the Pingnan War smoothly and realize the great cause of unifying the world.However, there are always various things coming to stimulate his nerves.Even if it doesn't hinder the overall situation of Ping Haijun.

Li Chongju didn't go into too much trouble, and simply stated the information he received: "Your Majesty, on the [-]th of this month, Quanzhou General Chen Hongjin, together with his cronies, falsely accused Jiedu envoy Liu Shaoyi of conspiring to join the Li family, imprisoned him, and pushed him away. Deputy envoy Zhang Hansi is the queen."

"I never thought that Chen Hongjin would take advantage of the loophole!" After quickly calming down from the news, the corner of Liu Chengyou's mouth twitched slightly.

"If my predictions are correct, Quanzhou's memorial to the accident will arrive in Tokyo soon!" Liu Chengyou said.

"That should be the case. No matter how things change in Quanzhou, we must never have second thoughts towards the imperial court!" Li Chongju replied.

"Tell me about Chen Hongjin's situation!" Liu Chengyou asked after thinking for a while.

Li Chongju: "Chen Hongjin, courtesy name Jichuan, Quanzhou native, less poor, good at reading, learning the art of war, ambitious, quite courageous, well-known in the village. He joined the army at a young age and was promoted to a military academy for his meritorious service. After Wang Min's demise, the Liu brothers took the opportunity to establish a Quanzhang, this person followed Liu Congxiao and assisted him greatly. He was appreciated by Liu Congxiao and relied heavily on him."

After listening to Li Chongju's introduction, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In this way, this Chen Hongjin is also a character! Seize the opportunity, take advantage of the situation, and look like a hero!"

"It's just!" As he spoke, Liu Chengyou's tone could not help but cool down: "He owes the old favor, bullies the young master, and ignores the court. How should I treat a person like this!"

From the beginning to the end, the focus was only on Chen Hongjin. As for Zhang Hansi who was pushed onto the stage, he was obviously just a puppet.
