Han Dao world

Chapter 895 The journey is imminent

Liu Xie squeezed the cake, scraped it around in the soup bowl, then stuffed it into his mouth, sighing contentedly.

"I'm full. Ziyi, you can have some more. After this meal, you may not be able to eat hometown food for a few years in the future."

"I'm full too." Jiang Gan patted his stomach. "Before I traveled north, I knew a little about the difference between northern Xinjiang and the Central Plains. This time, I brought some tea from my hometown to remove the smell and help digestion."

Liu Xie nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and said, "Don't worry about the tea, I can guarantee the supply. Like silk, the market for tea is also good. There are many Hu merchants who sell tea. It is not difficult to ask them to bring you some Huainan tea. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"If you are traveling thousands of miles away, it is only right for the imperial court to do what it can for you." Liu Xieyang raised his hand. "When Jizhou is pacified, I will also lead the elite to go west, and maybe I will have the opportunity to fight side by side with you."

"That would be great, when does His Majesty plan to march west?"

"Jizhou will be pacified within two years, Yizhou will be pacified within two years, and it will take another three to five years to rectify. After ten years, we should be able to start our journey."

Jiang Gan ordered the team. "I understand, I should wait for Master Wang in the Western Regions."

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing and said: "Zi Yi, after hearing what you said, I must go?"

"Exactly." Jiang Gan said very seriously: "Extraordinary achievements must be treated by extraordinary people. Expeditions for thousands of miles are not a matter of leisure, but you must meet their people. Your Majesty is the most suitable for Western Expeditions since the Han Dynasty for four hundred years. Monarch. If Your Majesty does not go west, you will have to wait hundreds of years next time."

Liu Xie smiled and shook his hand. "You speak too seriously."

"Otherwise." Jiang Gan straightened his sleeves and saluted. "What I said is not exaggerated, but from the bottom of my heart, please pay attention to your Majesty."

Seeing that Jiang Gan was so serious, Liu Xie also put away his smile, signaling Jiang Gan to speak out.

Jiang Gan put forward three reasons:
First, traveling thousands of miles west requires not only a lot of manpower and material resources, but also courage.After the world is in turmoil, the monarchs and ministers want to rest, but once they are at ease, it is difficult to cheer up again.After a generation or two, maybe even that idea is gone.

Second, the imperial court promotes enlightenment, and within ten years, the number of talents will inevitably increase dramatically.Even if the imperial court has arranged careers such as industry and business, it still cannot completely solve the way out for these people, especially the graduates of the Jiangwu Hall.

If the knife is not sharpened, it will rust.If people don't use it, it will be wasted and even become a hidden danger.

Western Expedition is the best whetstone and the best way out.

In the end, leading the Western Expedition requires not only a famous general, but also a hero.Only the British lord can restrain civil and military generals at home and abroad, and make all wills unite, instead of fighting each other.

This hero must not only have ability and prestige, but also be young and have a good body.

"Ten years later, His Majesty will be able to bring peace to the world, and it will be the year of his founding. Such conditions are rare in the ages. If His Majesty does not go west, who will he entrust to?"

Liu Xie laughed out loud.

Although Jiang Gan's reasoning is a bit far-fetched, and the taste of a strategist is too strong, it cannot be said that there is no reason at all.

Judging from various factors, he is indeed the best candidate for the Western Expedition.If this opportunity is missed, it may be a millennium.

China's next revolution is likely to be aimed at the monarchy.

Not only that, but the surge in talents brought about by universal education will also lead to involution because there is no room for it to be used, and it will even aggravate the habit of old students and officials, and become a family again.

The Western Expedition is not only an opportunity to expand the territory and spread Chinese civilization, but also a good way to solve involution.

"If you are not afraid of being scolded, you might as well write your high opinion into an article and publish it in the residence newspaper, and you can earn a manuscript fee."

Jiang Gan readily obeyed.

The monarch and his ministers chatted happily.Before Jiang Gan left, the next list was from Jiujiang who he thought could be used, and he hoped that the emperor would choose the opportunity to hire him.

Liu Xie took a look and saw that there were quite a few people, more than twenty.Two of them are familiar to him, one is Jiang Ji, who is in second place.One is Hu Zhi, who is ranked fourth.

Liu Xie nodded. "I'll arrange for them to interview."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Gan was very grateful and bowed to leave.

Liu Cong walked in, took away Liu Xie and Jiang Gan's tableware, and said mysteriously: "Your Majesty, I just saw a famous person."

"Great celebrity?" Liu Xie glanced at Liu Cong, a little surprised.

Affected by him, big celebrity is not a commendatory word nowadays, and is usually the object of ridicule or even ridicule.

"Xing Ziang is virtuous. I heard from the Hejian scholar named Bei Zhan that Yilang Tian Zitai was also present, and it seemed that he had a good friendship. Bei Zhan said that he met an old friend from another country, and invited him to drink Zhongshan Dongniang. I guess he is also the same. People from Hejian may also be from Zhang He's hometown."

Hearing that it was Xing Yong, Liu Xie was a little surprised.

He didn't have a deep impression of this person, he only knew that he was the minister of Cao Wei, but he didn't remember that he was also a famous man, and he had the title of "virtuous and dignified".

There are many famous people these days, but there are not so many famous people with their own exclusive titles, which can be regarded as the top class.

It seems that I underestimated Xing Yong's influence.

"What did they say?" Liu Xie asked.

Liu Cong was young and had no interest in reading. He practiced martial arts fairly hard, but his favorite thing was to gossip and be well-informed.Whenever there is any disturbance in the camp, he will always find a way to find out.

Hearing that Liu Xie was interested, Liu Cong immediately regained his spirits and told the news he had just found out.After he saw Xing Yong in the restaurant, he went to inquire about who Xing Yong was and what he did after he arrived.

"I think he seems to come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime." Liu Cong finally said.

Liu Xie snorted: "Don't be preconceived, everyone looks like an enemy."

"Wei, I know I'm wrong." Liu Cong laughed twice, picked up the tableware and left.

Liu Xie sat alone for a while, thinking about what Liu Cong said just now.

Judging from Liu Cong's description, it is not outrageous to say that Xing Yong came to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes, but Tian Chou was able to talk and laugh with him happily, and even took him to participate in the mill and laundry, which shows that Tian Chou is still optimistic about Xing Yong and hopes that he will Seeing is believing and changing positions.

In this way, he didn't need to be hostile to Xing Yong.

But Xing Yong is from Hejian, and when he came to Xingzai at this time, it is likely that Xun You was spending his time in Hejian.It is good for Xun You to save the fields, but whether he will deliberately go too far, arouse public anger, and then stay in Hejian justifiably, this is a question that must be considered.

After a while, Zhuge Liang came back, and also talked about Bei Zhan's invitation to Xing Yong to drink.It's just that his focus is different.

"Your Majesty, I take the liberty to think that Zhen Mi did this too deliberately, which is not conducive to the unification of the world."

"Then what advice do you have?"

"Shangshi is a dining place in the palace. It should not be used for private use. It is even more inappropriate to publicize the friendship between Jizhou and even the people of Jibei in front of scattered riders and officials. When you are here, you are all ministers of the court. , should not be separated from each other."

Liu Xie nodded and agreed with Zhuge Liang.

Although Zhen Mi is smart, she is too young after all, showing her sharpness, relying on her strong financial resources, and unscrupulously buying people's hearts, she really needs to be beaten.

Now it is advocating great unity, not small circles.

　Xie Shuyou travels back to the original ten thousand points to reward and add a new chapter.
