back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 865 Kou Bian
"This matter has to be deliberated by the Privy Council and the Military Staff Department, and then brought to the court. Only when the majority of ministers agree, can we send troops." Lu Chengqi also didn't want his teacher to be unknown, and everyone had a common understanding, so it would be easy to handle things!

Feng Jing is a typical literati, and he likes this one the most: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Okay, if there is nothing important here, you can step back. There are many things in the cabinet, and the chief assistant is inseparable." Lu Chengqi said lightly.

"I respectfully invite Sheng An!"

After singing this, Feng Jing resigned and left the Chui Gong Hall.

Lu Chengqi turned around and looked at the world map behind him.

It has been ten years, and after continuous maritime trade, this map has also been constantly revised, and it is close to the world map of later generations. The outline of land and sea is already clearly visible.Lu Chengqi didn't mean to cherish his own broom, he had already redrawn the part of the chart in detail, sent it to the printing workshop for printing, and printed his seal on it.Of course it is not Chuanguo Yuxi, but another seal.But such a signal is already very obvious, that is, to encourage sailing.

For the rest, after Lu Chengqi thought about it, he still asked the eunuch to take it to the printing workshop for printing.

As a big country, the people don't even have the vision of a big country, so what kind of big country is it?
The world map can maximize the horizon and let the people know what the world is like.Of course, according to Chinese habits, the Central Plains is in the middle.

As for the legal provision that harboring maps at home is regarded as rebellion, it will naturally be abolished.Lu Chengqi didn't believe it anymore. When careerists saw the complete world map, their vision would still be limited to the Central Plains.Besides, it's useless for you to take something that everyone has, and you can't fool other people.

"Yunnei Prefecture is next to Datong Mansion..."

After Lu Chengqi found Yunnei Prefecture, he suddenly remembered Zhe Kexing who had met once, and thought: "It's been seven years, and Zhe Kexing still hasn't wiped out the horse bandits, and even more and more, what happened?"

In Yunnei Prefecture, Zhe Kexing was also very depressed.

A few days ago, the horse bandits attacked a group of Khitan merchants again, which made people panic in the grassland. The merchants had to hire noble guards before they dared to do business.Many merchants even became vassals of Khitan nobles directly, and only dared to bring horses, sheepskins, cattle and sheep to the market for sale under the escort of a group of Khitan cavalry.

Yunnei Prefecture has long lost its prosperity, and even lost some of it.

In the prefectural city, which was twice as large as before, the streets were crowded with people, except for the common people. Occasionally, I saw a merchant with a haggard face and empty hands.

"General Zhe, you can't go on like this!"

Xue Gang, the governor of Yunnei State, said a little uneasy.He seems to have resigned himself to his fate. With his family, he served in Yunnei Prefecture for three terms, and now he is in his fourth term.

"Don't worry, state herdsman. This horse bandit didn't dare to rob our merchants from the Central Plains again, but beat the Khitan merchants to pieces. Their loss is not small. However, the Khitan merchants dare not come to Yunnei Prefecture again. The Central Plains merchants arrived in Yunnei The state is useless!" Zhe Kexing said worriedly, "Our young and strong are sharp, but without the support of merchants, food and grass, we are nothing more than stragglers. Day after day, when I leave Yunnei Prefecture, That horse bandit comes again, young and strong will definitely not be able to resist..."

"Then... what should I do?"

Xue Gang was stupefied for a moment, it wasn't that he was easy to deceive, the situation was indeed like this.You know, the lives of his family are all in the city of Yunnei State.If you break away and leave, and you are young and not up to the task, wouldn't it be an egg hitting a rock and it's over?

"It depends on the state shepherd."

Zhe Kexing said slowly, staring at Xue Gang, he found that this Xue Gang has grown fat in seven years, without any appearance of suffering from cold or suffering.It's no wonder that he, the state shepherd, is just letting go of the shopkeeper and basically ignoring him.Any emergencies in the city were resolved by the common people themselves, quite like "governing by doing nothing".

He, Xue Zhoumu, writes, composes, and paints at home. He eats and plays when he is full, and sleeps when he is tired from playing. With a few beautiful relatives, his life is very comfortable, and he is as happy as a fairy.

It's strange to say that Yunneizhou City has become more and more prosperous even if it doesn't care about things like this.The city of Zhou more than doubled in size, and a brick wall made of glutinous rice juice and egg whites was directly built outside.Accumulated young and strong, not only to guard against horse bandits, but also to manage the security in the city, even saving the government servants.Two years ago, the horse bandits were beaten by Zhe Kexing so that they could not take care of themselves and fled in embarrassment, which indirectly promoted the prosperity of private affairs.There is an endless stream of merchants coming and going.There were even exotic merchants from the Western Regions wearing headscarves who came to buy porcelain from the Central Plains.

Xue Gang really didn't know how they came here all the way, but they were all tourists, so there was no reason why they were not allowed to enter the city.

The good times only lasted for five years. In the past two years, horse bandits have become rampant again, and it even seems to be getting worse.

Thinking about it, the living environment in the depths of the desert is getting worse and worse. How could the Shiwei people, Xi people, Bohai people, and Menggu people who were driven into the depths of the desert by the Khitan people be willing to live in such a harsh environment?They didn't dare to offend the Khitan nobles, but they still dared to plunder the Khitan merchants.

Xue Gang is not stupid, if he was stupid, how could he have been working in Yunnei Prefecture without moving for ten years?
Xue Gang knew from the moment he was relegated that, based on his criminal record, as long as Lu Chengqi was in power for one day, he would never even think about returning to Chang'an, so he settled down in Yunnei Prefecture so peacefully.It is unbelievable to others that he has not moved his position for ten years, but it is not difficult for Xue Gang to do it.When officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs came to assess Xue Gang's work efficiency, he must have rated it poorly. However, the prosperity of Yunneizhou City can be rated as good by the Supervision Department. no drop.After nine years of hard work, but this fourth term seems to be a bit of a sign of capsized, how can he not be in a hurry?He was demoted out of the capital, and if he were to be demoted again, he would not even be able to keep a fourth-rank official.If he reaches the age of 65 again, he will be able to "retire honorably" and return to his hometown in good clothes.It's about time to get out, he's 57, is he going to be relegated to a poorer place?
"General Zhe, save me!" Thinking of this, Xue Gang shuddered, and hurriedly asked Zhe Kexing for help.

"Now, there is only one way to go." After careful consideration, Zhe Kexing felt that the horse bandits were inexhaustible.But judging from his many years of experience, many horse bandits are not all willing to be horse bandits, and even some children are among them.There is only one explanation for this situation, and that is that the northern part of the Liao Kingdom is in chaos.

If there was no chaos in the north of the Liao Kingdom, how could there be such a large group of horse bandits, who could never stop suppressing and killing them?What's more, the new horse bandits only picked Khitan merchants to start, only plundering tea, silk, porcelain, cattle and sheep, and dismissing horses.And there is not a single Khitan inside, they are all young and strong from Shiwei, Xi, Bohai, Jurchen, Menggu and other tribes.Zhe Kexing is familiar with the situation of the Liao Kingdom, and knows that these tribes are all tribes in the north of the Liao Kingdom. They are outside the rule of the Liao Kingdom, and they don't have a good impression of the Khitan people.

Only this explanation can work!Everyone has to think about whether to write a memorial or not.

Seeing that Zhe Kexing was still willing to help him, Xue Gang quickly poured a cup of tea for Zhe Kexing, and asked eagerly: "General, please be frank, what is the road?"
