Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 729
The great changes in Yuan Yao surprised even his mother. After that day, Yuan Yao did not stay out all day like in the past, wandering outside, locking himself in the study, reciting ram After Yuan Shu's death, his study was hardly touched by anyone. Mrs. Sima would come to clean it himself, but he refused to change the layout here. Yuan Shu's many books and articles written by him all belonged to Yuan Shu. Yao.

Sima Yi was not in a hurry to find Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang had just returned home and needed to rest for a while. He also understood. Besides, he had other matters to deal with. His father had prepared a marriage for him. Sima Yi You can't refuse, you can only obey.

After the two of them rested at home for three or four days, the Houde Palace sent officials to ask them to go to visit the emperor immediately.

Zhuge Liang rushed to the gate of the palace first, asked the guards at the gate, and learned that Sima Yi had not arrived yet, so he waited for Sima Yi's arrival at the gate. Zhuge Liang waited for a while, and a carriage appeared in the distance, slowly Driving slowly, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Zhuge Liang knew in his heart that the person coming was definitely not Sima Yi, except San Gong, no one dared to stop here, especially Sima Yi.

Sure enough, as he thought, the person who got off the carriage was Cao Cao.

Cao Cao got out of the carriage, glanced at Zhuge Liang in front of him, but walked towards the palace without saying a word. Zhuge Liang had just possessed himself and was about to pay respects, but Cao Cao had already disappeared in front of him. Zhuge Liang looked The figure of Cao Cao leaving in a hurry, it seems that Situ Gong is in a bad mood, could it be because of Sikong?He was thinking about it when someone behind him tapped him on the shoulder.

Zhuge Liang turned around, and the person behind him was Sima Yi.

"Why don't you even make a sound when you walk??"

"I'm not feeling well, I walk slowly, and my steps are light."

"Just now, Mr. Situ went in."

"I know, and also, Sikong is also in Houde Palace" Sima Yi squinted his eyes and said, Zhuge Liang really didn't know about this, and he didn't know how Sima Yi knew these things, Sima Yi suddenly whispered Said: "Kong Ming, I will enter the hall later. Don't get involved in the conflict between the three princes. Even though His Majesty is protecting us, in front of the three princes, no matter which side we can afford to offend."

Zhuge Liang frowned and said nothing.

The two walked into the palace together, and the whole man had undergone earth-shaking changes, except that there was no change at all, only this palace, as usual, without any changes, the emperor had been on the throne for six years, and he had never spent a single bit of thought on this palace. On this point, it is different from Emperor Xiaoxian, similar to Xiaokang, under the guidance of the Huangmen, the two came to the gate of Houde Hall, the Huangmen entered, and the two of them just went in after a report.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

The two said in unison, Liu Xi stood up suddenly, with a smile on his face, Liu Bei and Cao Cao didn't dare to continue sitting, seeing the emperor got up, naturally they got up quickly, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were both startled How dare you let these three people get up to greet him. Liu Xi helped them up and looked at the two in front of him. At least at this moment, he showed a sincere smile.

"Kongming Zhongda, you are finally back. These days, I really miss you." Liu Xi was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He wiped his tears, and the hands holding the two were trembling. Zhuge Liang's heart trembled. , his eyes were gradually turning red, but he didn't shed tears. He could only hold the emperor's hand tightly. As for Sima Yi, he had already started to sob in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I almost thought that I would never see you, Your Majesty." up"

"Zhongda!! I'm so sorry for you!"

"His Majesty!!"

Cao Cao shook his head, looking at the scene not far away, he was really sick to his stomach, without the warmth of meeting a monarch and his ministers. When he turned his head, he found that Liu Bei was wiping his tears with his sleeve, and he was very excited , Cao Cao was taken aback, and asked: "Are you crying again?"

"There is such a wise king and such a virtuous minister, I am so happy to cry!"

Cao Cao's face darkened, but he remained indifferent.

When everyone sat down, all four of them had red eyes. Cao Cao cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, let's get down to business... I think ten years is too long. As of today, Emperor Xiaokang is implementing various policies and constantly innovating, but even so, the national power is still rising. Now, the strength of the Han Dynasty is ten times that of Liu Sikong in the past. Not to mention it is useless , but the effect is not great.”

"Situ Gong Miao Ye has never tried it, so how do you know it won't work?"

Liu Bei asked back.

Cao Cao got up, faced the crowd, and said angrily: "I say this, if you replace national power with money, you can earn a thousand dollars with your ten-year governance strategy. Within ten years, you can earn a thousand dollars. On weekdays, If there is no vigorous development of a place, the money earned from local development is one hundred, and you can increase it tenfold, which is of course a great deal, but in this development, you have to suspend some military and innovation costs, and on weekdays, These expenditures can play a role in ten years, but not only this thousand dollars!"

"I said that, can you understand? Oh, yes, Mr. Xuande was the champion of mathematics back then. With his astonishing eyesight, he overwhelmed the others. These things are much clearer than me!!"

"Presumptuous!!" Liu Bei was full of anger. He was very angry at Cao Cao's behavior of exposing his boss. Cao Cao just looked at him coldly, then looked at the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, in the Xiaokang period, if there is no princely reform, In the Xiaoxian period, if there were no innovations by Cui Gong, would there have been any changes today? After the ministers took office, they changed the law, protected women and children, changed officials and schools, and built canals. If there were no such things, would Yankang be as strong as it is today?

"Hehe, Mr. Situ is extremely talented. If there is no Mr. Situ, how can there be a prosperous world? None of our ministers, including this Houde Palace, can match Mr. Situ and you alone!" Liu Bei said suddenly.

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said, "Xuande, you are quite capable in ordinary times, how could you be naive and use such a low-spirited divorce in front of His Majesty today? Do you think His Majesty's Will a benevolent and righteous king who is so tolerant and tolerant be angry with me because of my few words? Your Majesty cares about the world of this great man. Although my words are not pleasant, they are also for the sake of the strength of this great man!"

Sima Yi lowered his head, as if he didn't hear these words at all, Zhuge Liang was a little anxious, and wanted to get up several times, but was pulled tightly by Sima Yi.

When Cao Cao finished speaking, Zhuge Liang still couldn't hold back, broke away from Sima Yi, stood up abruptly, looked at Cao Cao, and said: "Situ Cao, what he said makes sense. Since Emperor Xiaokang, many people Innovation is indeed making the big man stronger, but, Mr. Cao, you just used money as an example, so I am the same. Within ten years, the big strategy may only earn a thousand dollars."

"However, the improvement in these ten years is not only in the harvest after ten years. In ten years, we will do our best to build people's livelihood. After ten years, we can get countless arable land, countless household registrations, and even affluent families. The big man will get all In the future, these will become the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty. These cultivated lands will bring more and more food. These people will become soldiers and courtiers like you and me. In the next hundred years, this Ten years will play an important role!"

"What's more, since Emperor Xiaokang, the temple has been focusing on the people, and spent ten years of time and energy on these people, why not?"

Cao Cao glanced at Zhuge Liang in front of him, completely ignored him and ignored him.

Zhuge Liang frowned, but still didn't get angry at Situ.

Liu Bei said: "This is exactly what I think of Mr. Situ. Please don't care about your own political achievements like that, and think more about the people in the world."

"Heh, you are just a Sangong, how dare you make decisions for His Majesty, and still want to implement your government orders?" Cao Cao asked angrily, then looked at the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, these matters still need to be handled by Your Majesty himself. My idea, I will never oppose His Majesty's will!", Liu Bei was taken aback, good guy, just now you said I used countermeasures, and you used it in a blink of an eye? ?
In the face of the quarrel between the three men, Liu Xi has always been silent.

At this moment, when everyone heard Cao Cao's question, everyone fell silent, and Liu Xi said: "In the past few decades, the people have been digging, digging, and building everywhere, and there has never been a day of rest. It's not easy, I decided to give them ten years to cultivate. Cao Situ, you don't have to argue with Liu Sikong anymore. All the energy is on the local area.”

Liu Xi clapped his hands, and soon, Qi Yue walked in, holding a huge map, two yellow gates, holding the map, stood behind Liu Xi, Liu Xi stood up, and everyone followed suit Standing up, Liu Xi looked at the map behind him. This map was the most detailed and detailed map that the big man had made recently. It was so accurate that even the names of some villages could be found on it.

"Everyone, this map relies on a talented person from Wajima"

"Come on, everyone, let's take a look. This is Wa Island. The easternmost part of Dahan is Ningzhou, the coldest area of ​​Dahan. This is the second state of Hexin. The endless Caoyuan is here. This is Xizhou, the foreign trade of Dahan. This is Yizhou, where the merchants of the Han Dynasty gathered, and Jiaozhou, which has become so huge after years of reclamation and development. These are all overseas islands of the Han Dynasty, and the largest is this Yizhou."

"In the big man, there are still people who don't have enough to eat, and there are still people who are not clothed. In these places, there are still people who can't afford a meal of meat a year. In these areas, the taxes of the entire area, It’s not even as good as Luoyang, a county town!!”

Everyone looked at the map seriously, but remained silent.

Liu Xi looked at the map, his eyes sparkled, and he said seriously: "Ten years, within ten years, I want all these areas to develop. At least, the people can't die of hunger and cold. A county town must have roads to the outside world, and the taxes in ten years’ time will be ten times higher than today’s!! For these, Liu Sikong has a detailed list, you can take a look.”

Cao Cao sighed, it seems that His Majesty has made a decision.

Is the matter of Nuoda's canal going to end in such an anticlimactic manner?
