Han Dao world

Chapter 48 It was originally a transaction

Liu Xie was not in a good mood when he realized that he might have been swayed by the veterans.

The road is long and difficult, so be prepared for a protracted war.

Liu Xie thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Sir, Mr. Yang left very reassuredly, it seems that he has great confidence in Mr."

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth twitched, and he replied quietly: "The Taiwei has confidence in Your Majesty." After taking two steps forward, he added: "Your Majesty discusses the Tao, and the minister discusses the art. Only when the Tao is upright, then the art will be clear." , everything is going to be beneficial.”

"Haha." Liu Xie laughed twice.

"Hey." Jia Xu also smiled.

Liu Xie walked forward slowly. "In your opinion, how should you use your troops to boost the morale of the imperial court?"

"Surprise wins."

"How surprising?"

Jia Xu was not in a hurry to answer. After the two got on the horse and walked side by side, he continued, "Liangzhou is bitter and cold. There are many pastures and little arable land, so there are more cattle and horses but less grain, more migration and less settlement. When you are in trouble If there is no one to help you, you will die. When there are many people, you will not be able to support yourself. It is inevitable that the strong will prey on the strong. Therefore, many people are poor but generous, and they despise life and death without integrity..."

Liu Xie listened quietly.

He asked Jia Xu for advice, but Jia Xu talked about the customs and customs of Liangzhou. Naturally, he was not emotional for a while, but hoped that he would understand Liangzhou and Liangzhou people from the source.

If you want to stabilize Liangzhou, you must first figure out why Liangzhou is in chaos.

One of the root causes is poverty.

Liangzhou has little arable land, harsh environment, and sparsely populated land.In the Han Dynasty, when population was the main measure, Liangzhou suffered in all aspects.

Taking officials as an example, the main way for ordinary people is to promote filial piety. Even if border counties are treated preferentially, one person can be recommended every year with a population of [-]. The number of filial piety in Liangzhou is still less than a fraction of that of people in the Central Plains.

This caused a bad effect. The Liangzhou people almost lost their voice in the court, and most of the policies related to Liangzhou were formulated by the Kanto people.

Liangzhou originally had another favorable condition: becoming an official with military merit.

There are many generals in Liangzhou with fierce folk customs, and there are endless stars. The good family sons of the six counties were once the main force of the imperial army and synonymous with elites.

However, since Guangwu, this dynasty has emphasized civility over military affairs, Confucian scholars gained power, and suppressed warriors to the point of being almost harsh.

Liangzhou Sanming is the epitome of the tragedy of Liangzhou warriors.

Without a chance to speak out, he was not only suppressed by the Kanto people politically, but also exploited economically, and Liangzhou's economy deteriorated further.When it is impossible to survive by hard work, there is only one way left, to do whatever it takes, as long as you can survive.

For individuals, even if they don't pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality, stealing and robbery are acceptable, and they are not even ashamed, but proud.

As far as the group is concerned, the weak prey on the strong, and the strong are king. Infighting and betrayal are common occurrences, and no one feels ashamed.

"Li Jue is suspicious, and Guo Si and others are no exception. No one can be trusted, and no one will really trust others. They always hold two knives in their hands. One is aimed at the enemy in front of them, and the other is guarding against the friends around them. If Your Majesty If you just want to hit them and leave, your majesty does not need to use force, just a few lines of simple scriptures can make them fall apart and even kill each other."

Jia Xu let out a long breath, her expression was lonely, with indescribable sadness.

"But Liangzhou is still the same. After a few years, the rebellion will inevitably revive and come back."

Liu Xie savored Jia Xu's words and felt emotional in his heart.

Repelling Li Jue and Guo Si is not a problem for Jia Xu at all, but how to make Liangzhou long-term peace and stability is.

Killing is always a way to stop the boiling water. It will only intensify the conflict, but it will not solve the problem.

It was so in the past, it is so now, and it will be so in the future.

To stabilize Liangzhou, we must fundamentally solve the poverty in Liangzhou and give Liangzhou people a way to survive.

This is what Jia Xu expects of him.

He wants to benevolent to all people, and Liangzhou people are also part of all people, so it is natural for Jia Xu to want to get on the bus first.

Liu Xie raised his head and looked into the distance.

At the end of his sight is Liangzhou under the snow-capped mountains.

"Sir, do you want Liangzhou people to move inland, such as Guanzhong?"

Jia Xu turned to look at Liu Xie, and Liu Xie also turned to look at him, with a meaningful smile.

Jia Xu looked away, stroked his beard, and pondered for a moment.

From his heart, he certainly hoped that some Liangzhou people could settle in Guanzhong.Guanzhong is already deserted, and the population loss is serious. It is the best way to resettle Liangzhou people, and it is even the best of both worlds.

But he is more aware that a large number of inward migration will inevitably bring conflicts, coupled with the impact of the killing of Li Jue, Guo Si and others in Guanzhong, Liangzhou people will not be able to truly integrate into Guanzhong for a long time.

"If you can't make a decision for a while, you might as well put it aside for now." Liu Xie said: "When you arrive in Bingzhou, you may have a decision."

Jia Xu nodded.

Although he didn't understand why Liu Xie said that, he could hear that Liu Xie didn't want him to make a decision now, and he didn't even want Liangzhou people to move to Guanzhong.

The Huhua issue of Bingzhou has been the focus of their recent discussions.

If he didn't believe that Liu Xie needed to solve this problem, he would almost suspect that Liu Xie was perfunctory.

Liu Xie flicked the whip in his hand as the horse advanced.

"There is a huge disparity in the number of people in this battle. Even if Li Jue and Guo Si are as good as they are in spirit, they should not be taken lightly. The strategy of a weak enemy is considered by the master. The responsibility of self-improvement is my responsibility. How? Of course, I still need a lot of guidance from the master. "

Jia Xu nodded with a smile. "The minister must repay His Majesty's kindness with a sincere heart."

Liu Xie smiled.

He understood Jia Xu's implication.This was originally a transaction, not a passionate righteousness of monarchs and ministers.If he can't solve the problem of long-term stability in Liangzhou, Jia Xu has plenty of ways to make him pay the price.

As far as he is concerned, even if Jia Xu is not considered, Liangzhou is an issue that he must consider.

To put it mildly, it is a matter of personal safety.

On a larger scale, this is related to the survival of the great man, and even the direction of Chinese civilization.

"Go back to the imperial camp!"

"Wei!" Wang Yue responded, raising his hand as a signal, Shi A rode away, and ordered Yu Lin and Hu Ben who were waiting on the side of the road to set off.

Hu Ben got up, Yulin got on his horse, unfurled the flag, protected Liu Xie and Jia Xu, and walked slowly towards the imperial camp.

Standing by the side of the road, Duan Yan watched the emperor's not-so-long, yet solemn guard of honor pass by, and his eyes suddenly got wet.

"Unexpectedly, today, I saw the style of the Han family again."

Duan Yi, the attendant at the side, rolled his eyes with a look of disdain. "Just a few people, can they also be called the style of the Han family?"

"Zhu Zi, what do you know?" Duan Yan just raised his hand. "I think back then when Duke Huizong ruled Wusun, and Ban Chao ruled the Western Regions, how could it be based on the large number of people? The Han family should have a British lord, trust our warriors, and conquer the barbarians like the palm of the hand. Although the emperor is young, he has the style of a British lord, and the great Han is prosperous." Can be expected."

"The Son of Heaven is the Lord of England? I really didn't see it." Duan Yi rubbed his head, staring at the back of the Son of Heaven in the distance, half-believing.

"If it wasn't the British lord, how could Jia Wenhe be a minister?" Duan Yan stroked his gray beard and smiled triumphantly. "In the future, if there are people in the court, they can travel freely to the prime minister."
