Lu Dynasty

Chapter 322
Cao brought Xun Yu to meet Liu Xie and told him the news that Yuan Shu had proclaimed himself emperor.Liu Xie said very angrily: "Cao Aiqing! Since Yuan Shu dared to usurp the rebellion, shouldn't it be time for you, a loyal minister of the auxiliary country, to take action?"

"I came to see Your Majesty just to ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to let the princes of the world discuss Yuan Shu together!" Xun Yu said: "The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have turned out such a rebellious minister as Yuan Shu. Your Majesty should also issue an edict to question Yuan Shao and others. Yuan Shu is from the Yuan family."

"Since Cao Aiqing is willing to fight against the rebels, let's send troops!" Liu Xie said: "Yuan Shu dared to usurp the rebellion. As the head of the Yuan family and Yuan Shu's brother, Yuan Shao couldn't absolve himself of the blame. He proposed to reprimand him!" He cooperated and handed the drafted will to Liu Xie Yongxi, and Liu Xie stamped his seal without even reading it.After Liu Xie had stamped Cao's will, Cao took Xun Yu and left the palace, leaving only Liu Xie looking at their backs in disappointment. Now Liu Xie is Cao's human seal. machine!

Not long after, I, Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Ma Teng, Liu Biao, Liu Yan and more than a dozen princes received Liu Xie's edict, and only Liu Bei and Sun Ce responded by sending troops.Sun Ce sent troops because he had an enmity with Yuan Shu. As for why Liu Bei sent troops, it is unknown.Others, such as Liu Yan and Liu Biao, did not respond at all, and Yuan Shao, the family of the rebels, only submitted an argument, and there was no further information.

Cao's envoy came to Chang'an and proposed to see me, and Liu Xie's edict was delivered to me. I only asked Zhang Fei to go out and say one word to the envoy, that is: Get out!The envoy was so frightened that he ran back to Cao Na and reported the incident truthfully.Guo Jia asked me after learning about this: "My lord, aren't you afraid that Cao will become angry from embarrassment if you scare away the angel like this?"

"Cao has no time to come to see me!" I smiled and said, "Liu Bei was transferred from the mountain by Cao, and Cao will surely attack Xuzhou again in a short time. At that time, we will send troops to Jingzhou and Yizhou to stabilize our rear. It’s time to compete in the Central Plains. But before that, our only goal is reform! How is the construction progress of Chang’an and Luoyang now?”

Guo Jia said: "My lord, Chang'an and Luoyang have basically been built, and they will be able to move in soon! According to Huang Ming, he built it completely according to the lord's instructions. It's just that after the completion of the construction, what will the Qiang slaves do? Also please let the lord announce it!"

"Tell Huang Ming, let him select those who can speak Chinese to be a professional construction team, build roads and cities, and pay them like an army. Others will be assigned according to their ability, and those who can farm will be arranged. Tuntian; those who know how to raise animals, arrange to raise horses and herd sheep; those who don’t know anything, dig coal, mines, and supply hot water to our army, let Huang Ming take care of it!” I laughed: “As long as it doesn’t waste Manpower, and the rest is handed over to Huang Ming! And tell Zhongjing to find a place in Luoyang that he likes the most to set up a medical research institute to study and record various diseases. This is what I promised him, and I also I want to do it!" Guo Jia nodded and went down.

At this time, Tian Feng ran in and said, "Master, Xun You wants to see you!"

"What? Has he figured it out?" I asked suspiciously: "I really don't know if prison food is better. He has been imprisoned for several years! It's really helpless to figure it out now!"

Tian Feng smiled and took me to the prison of Tingwei Mansion. Xun You saw me and said, "General Lu, I heard that you have gained a firm foothold in Sili. I don't know what you want to do next?"

"You want to know my plan before Gongda comes out?" I smiled and shook my head and said, "You can't escape anyway, so I'll tell you about my plan in detail."

Xun You said: "I want to hear the general's plan, and I also want to know whether the general is worthy of my service. I heard that Wen Ruo is very popular under Cao's command now. If I vote under the general's command, I will fight against Wen Ruo. Zhizhi is really not to my liking, so I might as well die and come to complete Wenruo!"

"Gongda is serious! But your news is very well-informed! Why don't I talk about my ambition first?" Seeing Xun You nodding, I smiled and said to him: "Does Gongda remember Qin Shihuang? He once said that he would He is the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, and the following are the second, third, and ten thousand generations! I also have the ambition of Qin Shihuang!"

Xun You laughed and said, "The First Emperor wanted the Qin Dynasty to last forever, but the Second Emperor died. In fact, which founding emperor didn't want his dynasty to last forever, even Liu Bang should think about it! Even Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, etc. People, they also want to establish an immortal dynasty. It is not unusual for you to have such thoughts."

"Gongda means that I think it is impossible for me to establish an eternal dynasty?" I laughed: "In fact, the Qin Dynasty is progress, and Liu Bang's rule of the world is actually a regression. It's just that Qin Shihuang didn't find the reason for the change of dynasty, and he didn't Find the key to the solution to the change of dynasties, including Liu Bang and Liu Xiu, they have not found it."

Xun You smiled and said, "So you found it? Can you tell me the reason for the change of dynasty?"

"Land!" I said seriously: "Actually, the change of dynasties is only related to land!"

"Why?" Xun You was a little puzzled. In his opinion, the change of dynasties was due to the emergence of faint kings and treacherous officials.Xun You asked: "Is it possible that as long as there is a large amount of land, even if there are faint kings and treacherous officials, the dynasty will still not change?"

"Excuse me, Gongda, what do the faint king and the treacherous officials have to do with the common people?" I laughed and said, "The common people's request is very simple. As long as they can eat enough, who will rebel or overthrow the court? Only those who eat will do those things with their heads pinned to their waistbands!"

Xun You asked, "Didn't it be said that the people rebelled because of oppression by corrupt officials?"

"Corrupt officials are also a reason. It is they who have caused the people to bear even heavier burdens when they have no land!" The people will not rebel." I laughed and said, "At least from the Qin Dynasty to the present, we can see that the change of dynasties is because the aristocratic families annexed the land too much, and the people had no land and no food, so they rose up. Rebellion. The so-called rebellion between the government and the people is what makes the people unable to live."

Xun You asked again: "Then can this avoid land annexation or make the people not lack of food?"

"Three methods!" I said with a smile, "First, the state controls the land, and the aristocratic families are prohibited from controlling the land, and they are not even allowed to participate in buying and selling. Second, keep expanding the territory. Feed more people. Third, find high-yield grain. Now one acre of land can produce one stone of grain. If we can find grains that can produce ten stones per mu, will the people still worry about food?"
