Chapter 176 Chapter 175

Yuanguang four years.

July.

Weiyang Palace.

As usual, after Liu Che dealt with the affairs of the Outer Court with a lack of interest, he convened the Inner Court Discussion with great enthusiasm.

It is not surprising that there were two dynasties in the Han Dynasty.

Compared with those trivial matters in the outer court, Liu Che prefers to show his grand plans in the inner court.

Because these people are the courtiers who completely obey his orders.

"How is Wei Qing's soldiers and horses trained?"

After one and a half years of military training, Wei Qing has returned to court three times, this is the fourth time.

"You are worthy of your majesty's appreciation, twenty thousand sons can be used."

"How is it compared to the Habayashi Army?"

Playing with the sword, Liu Che asked with some expectation.

"There are indeed deficiencies. Although I often sharpen the generals with bandits, I still can't compare with the world's leading Yulin Army."

Wei Qing wasn't trying to be modest, compared to those Habayashi orphans adopted from the soldiers who died in the war, the soldiers he trained now really couldn't compare to them.

It's a pity that the biggest role of the Habayashi Army is to protect Liu Che from fighting with him. Otherwise, relying on the Habayashi men alone, he is really not afraid to compete with the Xiongnu headquarters.

"Oh, yes."

Liu Che was a little disappointed, but as the emperor, he didn't show it, he just said lightly: "Then practice more."

"promise."

After asking Wei Qing, Liu Che looked at the others again.

"How's the canal?"

Following Liu Che's opening, a middle-aged man stood up: "The four hundred-mile canal is close to the Yellow River, and it will be completed in about two years. By then, the supply of food and grass will arrive quickly."

"Yes, continue to urge, don't slack off."

"promise."

After asking several questions in a row, the Weiyang Palace was filled with endless discussions.

After a long time, Liu Che took out a piece of cloth and asked the eunuch to submit it.

"Look at this new order, do you have any different opinions?"

When Bubo came to Wei Qing's hands, he looked down and said, "Anyone who is not an official, Sanlao (a township official in charge of enlightenment), or a knight guarding the border, has a chariot (carriage) with a tax of 120 yuan, and a commercial vehicle with a tax of 240 yuan. Money, if the boat is more than five feet long, the tax for one boat is 120 yuan.”

'New tax? ! '

Wei Qing didn't make a sound, and handed the cloth to the subordinate. He was a military officer and didn't want to talk too much about government orders, although he was both Jianzhang supervisor and servant.

The cloth was circulated in the hands of officials in the inner court, and after a while, one person spoke out.

"There is no obstacle to this order. Although the new tax has no targets, most people who can drive cars and boats are businessmen. Businessmen are rich and have no production. This tax is very good."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

"."

There was a series of second voices, but the middle-aged man who spoke before said again: "Your Majesty, there is no rush to issue this order when the canal runs through the Yellow River. By then, the big merchants should have recovered what they lost from the bandits. , able to provide more tax revenue.”

His words made Liu Che think for a moment, then nodded, "Si Nong is right, so let's make this order when the canal is connected."

"promise."

Everyone bowed their hands.

Liu Che was probably a little tired from dealing with the affairs of the two dynasties, and he waved his hand: "Alright, that's it for today, you will step down, Wei Qing will stay for a while."

All the officials of the inner court bowed their hands and retreated. After a while, only Liu Che and Wei Qing were left in Weiyang Palace.

"The sick son has not returned yet?"

After wiping the sword, Liu Che chatted with Wei Qing casually.

"Your Majesty, Qu Bing'er is also a guard, and he is not allowed to leave the camp without a reason."

Wei Qing was a little helpless, Liu Che would ask Huo Qubing every time he saw him, which made him not know how to temper him.

For his nephew, Wei Qing still attaches great importance to him. In the past year and a half, Huo Qubing's various performances all show that he is a natural general, bold and careful, daring to fight and rush. See the key.

"Stupid, don't you know how to ask Qu Binger to guard you personally? So what's the problem with taking him out of the camp?"

Liu Che complained that he hadn't seen his sick son for a year and a half, and he also missed his lucky star very much.

"Your Majesty is smarter than a minister."

Wei Qing surrendered and pleaded guilty.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this, let me talk to you about another thing."

As soon as the hand wiping the sword stopped, Liu Che put the sword into the scabbard with a serious expression on his face.

"There have been several victories in Liaodong in the past two years, and spies came to report. This matter is all related to one person. I have newly established the Duwei Mansion in Jiaoli, Western Liaoxi. You can lead troops to take up the post, but remember, you must not pass through Liaodong."

Wei Qing also showed thoughtfulness on his face, he cupped his hands and asked, "Is your Majesty's main purpose of going here to train soldiers or what?"

"For military training, if you have another chance, get in touch with that person to see what kind of person he is. In the field battle with the Xiongnu, five million horsemen will break through ten thousand, and after another battle, ten thousand riders will break through one hundred thousand. Such a person. It's okay if it's a courtier, if it is..."

"Zhang Qi from Liaodong, that's all the spies found. It seems to be the nephew of the Zhang family from Liaodong. Let's find out."

Liu Che didn't say much, but Wei Qing understood what he meant and nodded in agreement.

Although his face was still calm, the sea of ​​clouds was already churning in his heart.

'Five million breaking ten thousand!field battle!Ten thousand riders broke one hundred thousand? ! '

This is because the overlord is alive. When did the Zhang family in Liaodong produce such a talent, and that old man Zhang Yi seems to be hiding it.

When Wei Qing left Weiyang Palace and left the palace gate, he was still shocked by what he just heard from Liu Che.

The Han Dynasty had dealt with the Huns for 70 years, and he knew exactly how difficult the Huns cavalry in the field were.

"Supervisor."

A call interrupted his thoughts, and he turned his head to see that he had already walked out of the palace gate, surrounded by several personal guards.

Nodding his head, Wei Qing said, "Go back to the camp."

Ten days later, in Suyi County, which is the closest to Beidi Shangjun, 2 young and strong men went north and entered Shangjun, and then turned to the east, cleaning up the bandits along the way, and rushed all the way to Liaodong. [-] people no one dares to column.

However, when this young team entered Shangjun, some businessmen quietly paid attention to them.

Dozens of homing pigeons flew into the sky from Shangjun to Yanmen County.

After receiving the carrier pigeons, some merchants in Yanmen County also copied the actions of Shangjun merchants and released the carrier pigeons to Daijun and Shanggu County.

Just like this step-by-step message transmission, the carrier pigeon flew to Wuhuan.

City Lord's Mansion.

Zhang Qi, who was reading a book, frowned and looked at the note in his hand.

"Military mobilization, [-] young adults entered Shangjun from the Sili Department or Chang'an, and then turned to the east."

"Where are you going? Yanmen? Shanggu? Youbeiping? Or Liaodong?"

Zhang Qi's face was gloomy: "Will the flag of Wei be him?"

The bad news really came one after another. There was a transfer of personnel from the Provincial Department of History before, and then this happened again. The surname Wei may not be a big deal, but the surname Wei is also a military general, which is worthy of Zhang Qi's attention.

"Pay close attention to the pigeons in the past few days, and send any news directly to me!"

"promise!"
