Han Dao world

Chapter 1197 The Centennial Plan
"The ordnance we want will arrive soon." Shen Youyang said to Tang Suhe, holding the letter in his hand.

"Really?" Tang Suhe was overjoyed. If there weren't too many people around, she wished she could pounce on Shen You and kiss him a few times.

After accepting Shen You's suggestion, the number of guard cavalry around her increased greatly, especially those female knights, who had changed from mere decorations to real fighters with unique advantages.

Once she has the weapons provided by the Han people and her combat power is further improved, she will become an irreplaceable elite in the tribe. In the eyes of her father, Ke Bineng, she is no longer a playful little girl, but a real general. .

"According to the time, there is still half a month." Shen You smiled, and said: "But they will hand over these ordnance to the commander, and then the commander will hand it over to you. Will the commander detain some , I can’t tell.”

When Tang Su heard it together, he felt worried.

She thought for a long time, and said to Shen You: "Why don't we go to meet them, and grab the ordnance before the father-in-law sees these ordnance, and he will be embarrassed to ask for it again."

Shen You agreed with Tang Suhe's suggestion, and immediately discussed with Hardy to meet Ke Bineng.During his absence, Hardy had to be careful not to attack hastily.

Of course, you can't let go of the opportunity.After all, when Ke Bi Neng comes, he will not have many chances to make meritorious deeds.

Hardy was very unhappy when he was stopped by Ke Bineng's order.In the past few days, they can only attack the nearby barbarians. Although they have gained something, they cannot compare with the Scythian city.Seeing Tang Suhe, he felt bad too. Knowing that Shen You and Tang Suhe were going to meet Ke Bineng, he couldn't wish for it.

In front of Tang Suhe, he swore that he would not mess around.

As soon as Shen You and Tang Su left, he summoned the generals and discussed how to make a big one.

Although it is impossible to cross the Borysthenes River, there are also smaller Scythian towns nearby, which can be plundered, and the harvest will definitely be more than that of the poor and clinking barbarians.

All the generals responded and set off enthusiastically.

After walking east for a few days, Shen You encountered a caravan traveling west.

Seeing Zhang Dun mentioned by Xun Yun, he laughed.

Xun Yun didn't know who Zhang Dun was, but he knew very well.But he knew better that Lu Yi's pseudonym Zhang Dun traveled westward, and he must have a secret mission, so his identity could not be revealed.

After a few simple greetings, Shen You said to Tang Suhe, I was entrusted by Xun Changshi to persuade Zhang Jun to stay. You can talk to Zhang Jun's wife to see if she has any intentions in this regard, or if she has any requests .

Tang Suhe readily agreed, and warmly invited Zhang Dun's wife, Sun Shangxiang, to speak aside, while Shen You and Zhang Dun, Lu Yi, walked aside to stay away from the crowd.

Lu Xun immediately conveyed to Shen You his mission and the emperor's name change for him.

Shen You was not surprised at all. "The Son of Heaven has always been optimistic about you, otherwise he wouldn't let Yu Jijiu accept you two as disciples."

"It's true that the Son of Heaven hates clique formation very much." Lu Xun said with emotion, "It's just that it is human nature to form cliques for personal gain, and even a wise emperor like the Son of Heaven cannot stop it. Turning harm into benefit and unifying the monarch and his ministers to the outside world may be the only choice at present."

"What about after a hundred years? No matter how wise the emperor is, and no matter how much he pays attention to health preservation, he will only use up his life. After a hundred years, the world will be settled, and the heroes and nobles will gradually gain wings. Will the successor be able to control the situation?"

Lu Xun couldn't help laughing. "Brother Shen is far-sighted, what's the best way to solve it?"

Shen You shook his head. "If I have a clever plan to solve it, I won't go far to the Western Regions. Boyan, you and I think the same thing. Instead of wasting the good years on internal struggles, it's better to go out and make contributions. Yu Jijiu must be the same That’s why I’m determined to send you to Rome.”

Lu Xun nodded, but said nothing.

They are all from Jiangdong and have common interests, so it is easy to think of going together.That's why he didn't reveal his identity in front of Xun Yun, but wanted to have a deep talk with Shen You.

Even without Xun Yun's recommendation, he would still meet Shen You.

When he came to Rome in the future, most of the news he inquired would be sent to Shen You.

It's just that because of Yu Fan's instructions, he doesn't plan to explain to Shen You his real intention to go to Rome yet.

Lu Xun immediately informed Shen You of the situation in the Central Plains, especially the situation in Nanyang.

The emperor personally sits in Nanyang and develops Jingnan—or even the whole of Jiangnan. The intention is very obvious.He was preparing for the coming, and inevitable, Little Ice Age.Although many old officials were not ideal, Yu Fan expressed his support and collected a lot of evidence to prove that the emperor's views were not based on speculation.

It has been nine years since Jian'an, and the emperor still has no intention of returning the capital to Luoyang, even though Henan Yin Xunyu proposed to modify the etiquette and drastically reduce related systems to save money.

"The Son of Heaven seems to only want to go west, and has no interest in return." Lu Xun said.

Shen You smiled slightly. "The emperor's ambition is in the world, how can he be limited to the Central Plains. Even if the capital is established, the ideal capital will not be Luoyang or Chang'an, even if it is only in the Central Plains. Although Qinchuan is eight hundred miles wide, it can only support a hegemony, which is not enough. I think Luoyang is the capital of the world. Luoyang is a bit better, but there is no land available, and it is not the best choice."

"Where do you think is the best choice?"

Shen You thought about it. "Jiangling might work."

"Jiangling?" Lu Xun thought for a while, feeling suspicious. "Jiangling's terrain is rather low, and there are often floods."

"These are all temporary." Shen You shook his hand. "Think about how much Yunmengze has shrunk since the Warring States period. In three or four hundred years, Jiangling's terrain will not be low. As for flooding, it is not an unsolvable problem given the emperor's emphasis on water conservancy. On the contrary , the establishment of Jiangling as the capital coincides with the fact that the emperor attaches great importance to naval forces and looks around the world. If everything goes well, within [-] years, the Great Han Navy will be able to start from Jiangling and travel far and wide.”

Lu Xun sucked in a breath of air, and his thoughts suddenly opened up.

He glanced at Shen You, hesitated to speak.

He was accepted as a disciple by Yu Fan, and taught him all his money. In the past two years, he has been taught arithmetic by the emperor himself.But after chatting with Shen You, I realized that my vision was still too narrow, far less far-sighted than Shen You.

It has to be said that Jiangling, the capital, seems to be more in line with the emperor's long-term plan.

If it is true as what Shen You said—with a span of three or four hundred years, this statement should be accurate—the terrain near Jiangling will gradually become higher with time, and the flood will be greatly reduced. , enough to support more household registrations, and there are dangers around, which is more advantageous than Luoyang.

"In Brother Shen's opinion, plus the Western Regions, which one is more suitable for Lidu?"

Shen You shook his head and remained silent.After a while, he said softly: "It's still too early to say. It won't be too late when the emperor takes over the Western Regions. Bo Yan, you might as well pay more attention to the way you go to Rome, take a look at the geographical form along the way, and see where It is more suitable for Lidu."
