Han Dao world

Chapter 1226
In the ninth year of Jian'an, autumn.Yingdao County, Lingling County, Jiuyi Mountain Mausoleum of Emperor Shun.

Liu Xie was wearing a well-tailored narrow-sleeved dress, standing on a huge rock with his hands behind his back, looking to the south.

Not far away is the legendary burial place of Emperor Shun - Shunyuan Peak, and his two concubines - Ehuang Peak and Nvying Peak.

It has been a long time, and there are no real relics. The so-called ancient relics have a strong Han style.

Confucian civilization emphasizes being cautious about the end and pursuing the future, and the worship of ancestors is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Mausoleum repair is a traditional art, and Emperor Shun, who occupies an important position in Chinese civilization, is no exception.

From the heart, Liu Xie has no interest in this kind of new monuments.

The reason why I came here is to educate.

Although Jiuyi Mountain is the burial place of Emperor Shun, there are very few Han people nearby, and most of them are barbarians with spine hair and tattoos.Some people say they are descendants of Baiyue, others say they came from Yizhou like Wulingman and Jiangxiaman. Few people can tell clearly about their origin.

Liu Xie sent people to collect folk songs, collected a lot of ancient songs, and also found some ancient books.But it is a pity that few people can understand those pictures-like words, so we can only cooperate with the local priests, hoping to translate them into Chinese.

All of this takes time and energy, and what Liu Xie is thinking about now is only enlightenment.

Build schools and workshops in the deep mountains, improve traffic, so that goods in the mountains can be transported out, and people from outside the mountains can come in.

To worship Emperor Shun is to express to those mountain people who believe in Emperor Shun that we have the same root and origin, and are descendants of Emperor Shun.

For this reason, the clothes he wears are all new clothes that incorporate local styles, rather than the standard emperor's dress.

This has been opposed by many ministers of etiquette, but the opposition is invalid.

Liu Xie didn't want to climb mountains in that kind of dress with fluttering sleeves, even if it was a real Hanfu.

Fortunately, the ministers also knew his temper, and when they saw that he had not been persuaded, some people immediately put forward the opposite opinion, thinking that the emperor should follow the customs in order to educate the barbarians, change with the times, and should not stick to the established etiquette.

Rituals should also change with time.

Opponents expressed disagreement. The Son of Heaven is the representative of the imperial court. He is just showing the majesty of the Han family. How can he learn from the barbarians when he rules the world?

Therefore, Confucian scholars fought hard, and even after they climbed Jiuyi Mountain, they still haven't come to a conclusion.

Liu Xie pretended not to hear, and only focused on the big event in front of him: Jiaozhou.

To the south is Mengzhu Ridge among the Five Ridges, and beyond Mengzhu Ridge is Cangwu County in Jiaozhou, the hometown of the Shixie brothers.

After resting for a summer, Sun Ce, who was supported by manpower and material resources, launched an autumn offensive and was advancing along Yushui to Guangxin, the governor of Cangwu County.

After Cao Ang, the new prefect of Yulin, took over the important task of stabilizing the region, Sun Ce finally escaped from government affairs and returned to the battlefield he was best at.

At the same time, Ding Chong, the general who conquered the south, also led tens of thousands of people to march south along the Lishui River.

Ding Chong equipped many new warships.These warships may not be very large, but they are new ships built by the Dongting ship officer to adapt to the terrain. They can transport food and people, making Ding Chong's march more convenient, and he no longer has to worry about insufficient logistics supplies.

If nothing else, the war in Jiaozhou will soon end.

Similarly, if nothing unexpected happens, the petition for Shi Xie will be coming soon.

It's a pity that the situation is different, and this intercession will not work.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie sneered with disdain.

Standing not far away, Jushou, the servant, was talking with Yu Fan, the sacrificial wine in the Jiangwu Hall. The two were arguing about something, and it seemed that they had a big disagreement.Huan Jie stood aside with his hands folded, smiling, but did not speak.

"What are they fighting for?" Liu Xie asked.

Zhou Buyi smiled slightly. "Ju Shizhong said that after the settlement of Jiaozhou, the general who is against the rebellion should rest on the spot and prepare for the southern expedition. Yu Jijiu said that the general who is against the rebellion should return to the court to offer prisoners. thing."

Liu Xie thought about it, then asked Zhou Buyi, "Whose opinion do you support?"

Zhou Buyi didn't hesitate. "I don't support anyone's opinions. I think that these two opinions are limited to the battlefield and are not comprehensive enough. Brother Shixie's appointment of the head, Jiaozhou proclaimed his minister, and returning to Zhengshuo does not mean that Jiaozhou will return to his heart. Jiaozhou has high mountains and dense forests. , even more than Jingnan, without the achievements of 30 years, it would be difficult for Jiaozhou to become a stable territory of the Han Dynasty."

Liu Xie was a little curious. "Then how can Jiaozhou become a stable territory for the Han?"

"Educate, build roads, and build bridges. Educate a generation of people, so that those who think that Lingnan is a place outside of Hua, who can self-govern at any time, have no place to stand. Build roads, build bridges, communicate with the inside and outside, so that the people know the government's decrees, Your Majesty is benevolent. Otherwise, after Shi Xie, there will inevitably be people who want to learn from Zhao Tuo and look forward to chaos in the Central Plains."

Liu Xie smiled, waved to Jushou and others, called them to him, and asked Zhou Buyi to repeat his opinion.

The three Jushou looked at each other and smiled in unison.

"Your Majesty is well trained. Although this son is young, he has the world at heart." Yu Fan stroked his beard, not hiding his appreciation.

Huan Jie smiled slightly. "It is said that there are many barbarians in the south of the great river. The Zhou family has this son, which proves that there are many handsome people in the south of the river."

Ju Shou said: "There are many mountains in the south of the Yangtze River. It is like looking at the sky in a well. It is indeed rare to see young people with such a vision."

"What are you talking about?" Yu Fan said he could not agree. "Although the land in Jizhou is flat, it is too small. There are Yanshan Mountains in the north and Taihang in the west. How is it different from watching the sky from a well? Even if there is a difference, it is just that the well is slightly bigger."

Ju Shou cupped his hands and said, "How dare you, I misunderstood the sacrifice."

Yu Fan flicked his sleeves and snorted.

Ju Shou said again: "Your Majesty, the dispute between the minister and the sacrificial wine is nothing more than a matter of urgency. On the point of developing Jiaozhou, the minister and the sacrificial wine have no difference. The south is humid and hot, and the rice is the most beneficial. Sanshu is not only the best base for rebel generals to go to sea, but also a favorable foundation for the imperial court to develop Jiangnan. It should be incorporated into the imperial decree as soon as possible. Since the chaos in the Central Plains, Jiaozhou has been autonomous for nearly 20 years, and Ninan and Jiuzhen have survived in name only. If not Conquer quickly, I am afraid that people who still remember the majesty of the great man will grow old, and the hearts of the people will be more difficult to deal with."

Yu Fan also said: "The words of the public and the minister also mean it. It's just that the minister thinks that if you fight against the outside world, you must first settle down. The people in the Central Plains are undecided, and they are eager to march south. I am afraid that the Central Plains will change. There must be a lot of people who want to go home. Take this opportunity to reunite their families, make other arrangements for those who don’t want to go south, and add some new talents, and then go south, it seems slow but urgent, wouldn’t it be better?”

After hearing this, Liu Xie turned to Huan Jie again. "What about Bo Xu's opinion?"

Huan Jie bowed his hands and saluted. "The difference between sacrificial wine and Ju Shizhong is only a matter of years. I think the difference is not big, and it is irrelevant. But how to develop Jiaozhou, but you have to think carefully. This time the general who conquered the south marched, and the benefits of the new ship are obvious to all. Perhaps more workshops should be built in the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, bridges and roads should be built, and after the results are achieved, it should be promoted to Jiaozhou."
