New Shun 1730

Liu Yu thought, today I finally know why the unrestrained imperial power is the biggest gangster. You can find faults in a standard answer, what else can I say?

Then I thought about what I learned in my previous life. I was quite professional in rebellion. I was a repairman who repaired the ship until the crowns were scattered everywhere and no one dared to pick them up before sinking? ... I am not modest, I just don't have that ability.

He lay there with his butt sticking up, pretending to be dead and not saying a word.

Li Gan looked at Liu Yu, and after a while, he smiled and said: "Okay, I am also worried about state affairs, so I said it casually. I want you to assist the Duke of Qi. After all, the Duke of Qi doesn't know as much about the Rakshasa as you. Kneel down."

This is a great honor. According to the rules of the previous dynasty, officials with a difference of four grades must kneel down in formal occasions. Liu Yu's status, including the honorary title, is not yet at the level for the emperor to grant him a seat. Although he still kneels, it is easier than kneeling with his butt sticking up.

After thanking him, he straightened his body and quietly sat on his feet.

"Liu Yu, what do you think about the negotiation with Luosha?"

"Your Majesty. The important matters in the court are decided by your Majesty and Tianyou Palace. I will do my best."

"Hmm? I heard that when you were in Muluhan Mountain Guard, you learned a lot from Yang Xiu. What you said about sending Duke Qi, that means the Ming Dynasty will recognize Luosha's throne?"

Since he dared to say this at the beginning, Liu Yu knew it in his heart. The emperor was telling him that there were spies among the people he brought, and the emperor knew what he said out of line. Liu Yu knew that the emperor would plant people, whether it was for inspection or surveillance, and he didn't say anything out of line.

"Your Majesty, in the past, Emperor Taizu broke an arrow as an oath and released Chen Yongfu, who had shot and wounded Emperor Taizu, and conferred him the title of Wenshui Earl. Our dynasty has the legacy of Emperor Gaozu of Han and the old benevolence of Emperor Zhaolie, so I can speak freely."

"Heh...you are so cunning. As a great country of Rakshasa, it is not a bad idea to accept it as emperor. It is not good to really attack Petersburg and force it to pay tribute and become a vassal as those imperial soldiers and border troops think."

"I am really worried that the Confucian Society will discuss this hotly and think that this is an old story of the Song and Liao dynasties. You should know that our dynasty does not respect Zhu Xi, abandons Neo-Confucianism and uses the knowledge of Ye Shi and Chen Liang. These are the knowledge after the Jingkang humiliation, which emphasizes utilitarianism and achievements, but is also extremely sensitive to the confrontation between the Song and Liao dynasties. This was very good in the late Ming Dynasty, but now it is inevitably a bit constrained."

After saying this, Li Gan stood up and paced, reciting an old poem by Chen Liang.

I haven't seen the southern teacher for a long time, and I talk about the northern group in vain. I am alone on the spot, and I am still a hero among ten thousand men. I laugh at myself as a dignified Han envoy, can I be like the vast river, still flowing eastward? Let's bow again in the yurt, and meet in Gao Street!

The capital of Yao, the land of Shun, and the fief of Yu. There should be one or two ashamed ministers in it! Ten thousand miles of bloody smell, where are the heroes of the ages, when will the majestic and majestic be connected? Why ask about the fate of the Hu people, it is in my heart!

"In the past chaos, the pseudo-Ming contacted the Later Jin, called me uncle and nephew, and called me a bandit. Later, Emperor Gaozong inherited his will and restored the world. Some people who were scolded by this poem committed suicide out of shame and anger. Later, the Duke of Yansheng was demoted to Fengsi Hou, and the sentence "If it were not for Guan Zhong, I would have been wearing a left lapel with my hair untied" is still posted on the door of Fengsi Hou."

"The north was bloody for several years, and Jiangnan was almost lost. When the country won the world, it has always been sensitive to such exchanges. Since the Song and Liao dynasties, only the pseudo-Ming dynasty has called two emperors together. The advantages of the past and the disadvantages of today, this time, that At that time. Many people in the court did not know where St. Petersburg was or how far it was from Shenyang. They wrote to the emperor in a rage, saying that they should destroy the country, capture the chieftain, and restore the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties. "

"It is okay for Western learning to spread, but if we have equal diplomacy with Western countries, there will be great resistance. As soon as the Fujian Church Incident broke out and the Roman Catholic Church issued an "edict" prohibiting ancestor worship, the court was already in an uproar. Do you know how much pressure I have endured for your French military uniforms? "

Liu Yu listened for a while and felt that it was like the emperor was telling him that he had a big face? He owed the emperor a lot?

"Can you solve this problem?"

Liu Yu shook his head without thinking.

This kind of historical legacy problem is not something he can solve. The trauma of eighty years ago was too serious. Even if the wound seemed to have healed, the sequelae were extremely serious.

The issue of Huayi was a "taboo" point for Dashun, and it would jump at the slightest touch.

"I sent Duke Qi because of what you said. On the other hand, it was also what Emperor Taizong said: too much debt is not a worry, too many lice are not itchy. The fact that Tian Jianxiu did not burn the grain in Xi'an is still being mocked by some people, who say that he is "the benevolence of Song Xiang". Duke Qi is responsible for this big pot, and I owe him a lot. I can only compensate his son."

Liu Yu then realized that his mother wanted him and Duke Qi to take the blame together?

Tian Jianxiu's matter was said to be so serious, but wasn't it deliberately publicized by Li Guo?

At that time, Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng had died. After the Western Army and the Eastern Army joined forces, Tian Jianxiu and Li Guo were at the same level. Although Zhang Nai handed the imperial seal to Li Guo, in order to work together, he must have criticized Tian Jianxiu for this matter.

Looking at the later "Zheng Bo defeated Duan Yu Yan", he could have destroyed the Southern Ming but didn't, and forced the Southern Ming to ask for external reinforcements to establish the legitimacy of the Dashun, we can roughly guess what kind of person he is.

After all, if Tian Jianxiu was not criticized at that time, it would also involve the issue of the succession order of Li Zicheng's younger brother Li Zijing. Tian Jianxiu used Li Zijing to test Li Guo.

Zhang Nai from Jiugong Mountain escaped, but he didn't protect Li Zicheng well, so this adopted son was out of the question; Yuan Zongdi and Li Guo had a good relationship and were old friends, and Liu Tichun had a falling out with Tian Jianxiu before Li Guo came and went to counterattack Shaanxi.

In addition to letting Tian Jianxiu take the blame, it is really hard to find someone else.

After that, the Qi family accepted their fate, did not cry or make a fuss, and became a famous scapegoat family in Dashun.

The emperor was assured of his use, and his family also accepted their fate and laughed it off - it was not easy to say that it was fortunate that Tian Jianxiu was kind, and Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng died in the pursuit, otherwise it would not be their turn... So the Qi family took the blame, which was also considered to be a publicity that Li Guo inherited Li Zicheng's will, reflecting the resentment that Tian Jianxiu's benevolence and righteousness broke the relationship between Emperor Taizu and General Liu Zongmin.

This matter was a tacit understanding, and they saw it but did not speak it out.

But if there is a scapegoat, the old Tian family can take it, why do they have to drag me into it?

Seeing Liu Yu's surprised look, Li Gan's expression gradually became serious, and he slowly said: "I roughly guessed what your 'Tao' is. If you still want to go down, you can only be a lone minister. Are you willing?"

Liu Yu frowned and thought for a moment, then lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is not a question of whether I am willing or not, but a question of whether Your Majesty is willing or not. Even if I take the blame, how far Your Majesty is prepared to go?"

"No one has ever walked this road. I don't know whether there is a cliff in front of me, nor how deep the water is in front of me. You go to explore the road, and if it is easy to walk, you can walk. If it is not easy or even impossible to walk... there is nothing you can do. Let future generations solve it."

After talking about this heavy topic, Li Gan made a joke.

"In the past, Wang Jian destroyed Chu and bought land and polluted himself. I saved you the trouble of polluting yourself, isn't it wonderful?"

This seems to be a joke, but it is actually the truth.

This is forcing Liu Yu to be a lone minister. Jiangnan is an important place. If Liu Yu is really allowed to make trouble in the future, the concern should be Liu Yu's ability - he can fight, knows how to fight, understands Western learning, and can make friends with foreign countries. If he gets too close to the literati in Jiangnan, it will make it difficult for the emperor to do his job.

It is better to give Liu Yu a big stain now, so that he can't get along with the literati in Jiangnan, and even feel ashamed of making friends with Liu Yu, and keep an eye on Liu Yu to supervise and report at any time.

In this way, the emperor will be relieved and it will be easier to support him to go further.

Liu Yu didn't think of this level, nor did he think so far, but he felt that what the emperor said seemed to make sense.

According to the historical baggage and historical inertia of Dashun now, plus the imminent ban on religion, his road must be a lonely road.

Anyway, he is lonely, so it doesn't matter if he takes this blame, so he will carry it.

Think about what the emperor said, it is true that no one has walked this road before, and there is no experience to learn. Whether it can be done or not, Liu Yu has the experience of his previous life, and knows that if he doesn't go, he will be finished, and now he is almost behind and can't catch up.

But the emperor doesn't know, why take such a big risk and bet everything? Listening to Liu Yu's words and watching Liu Yu's actions, it seems that he can do this, which is a great trust.

Helpless, helpless, the flag that was set in front of Mantou at the beginning, "I can't help but entrust my thoughts to the Yaoqin, but there are few friends, and who will listen when the strings break" has been realized.

"I am willing to blaze a trail for this world."

"Hahahahaha..."

Li Gan laughed out loud, thinking that you are indeed a stubborn person who follows the Tao but not the Zhou. If I hadn't guessed some of your thoughts, I'm afraid it's hard to say what you can do in the future.

Now that you are in my grasp, I have solved a worry. Otherwise, it's not right to use it or not to use it.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I just want to settle accounts with you today. I want to ask you, how do you control the territory of Nurgan after recovering it?"

"Of course, we should migrate and settle the border."

"Yes. Everyone knows this method. Then I will settle accounts with you."

"If there is a disaster in Henan and Shandong, I will accept the victims and move them to Nurgan. If we count 10,000 people, at least 20% will die from Shandong to Nurgan. Is that right?"

Liu Yu nodded. 20% is considered a small number.

"It's the first time to come to such a bitter cold place. In two winters, 30% of them will die. So, if you want to immigrate 10,000 people, you have to prepare to recruit 20,000, right?"

"Yes."

"Twenty thousand people, walking from Shandong to Nurgan, there is no harvest in the first winter, and they have to open up the land in the second year, and at least they can guarantee enough food in the third year. Each person has 500 kilograms of grain per year, which is 1,500 kilograms in three years. If you buy it at a fair price, each person will need 15 taels of silver to survive until the grain in the fields is enough to eat. How much is 20,000 people?"

"300,000 taels."

"Five people have one ox, and a ox in its prime costs 15 taels. If half of them die, how much is it?"

"150,000 taels."

"Winter clothes Clothes, cotton, 2 taels per person, how much is this?"

"40,000 taels."

"The accompanying doctors, veterans, officials, ironware, tools. Smuggling, corruption, misappropriation... Even if I'm cheaper, the total is 250,000 taels... I may not be so honest. Let me ask you, how much does it cost to migrate 10,000 people to Nurgan every year?"

"About 1 million taels."

"Is 10,000 people enough? How many people can control the situation?"

"At least 200,000."

"Well, even if the migration is divided into 20 years, do you know how much tax silver was in Henan last year?"

"I don't know."

"Hehe..."

Li Gan didn't say the number, just laughed twice.

"You want to organize a new army, change the military system, and promote Western learning. These ideas are all good, but I have to tell you one thing. I have no money. So, the first step for you to do those things is to get money for me. Can you get money here in Luosha Kingdom?"
