Liu Taozi didn't leave for too long this time.
Compared with the war that happened over the past one or two years, the fact of this war was too short. Liu Taozi just ran over and rushed to some miscellaneous soldiers with cavalry, and then came back.
What the two guys will fight next is the real highlight.
After following Zu Ban back to Yecheng and meeting the ministers, Liu Taozi returned home. However, his family was not here, but he went to Cheng'an. Fortunately, the distance between the two places was very close.
It takes no day to go back and forth.
There is no big deal in Youcheng that needs Liu Taozi to deal with, and the two envoys are not in a hurry.
Liu Taozi went to see her family first.
Zu Ban and others deliberately followed, but Liu Taozi refused and only brought a few idle confidants with him.
He just went to Cheng'an for two days and came back soon.
Shangshu Deck.
Sitting high in the upper seat, listening to the reports of many Shangshu officials.
Gao is completely different from the time he used to be. He is getting younger and younger. His gray hair, which was originally mixed with gray hair, has now become dark and bright. His whole sitting posture is very upright and upright, and his expression is firm, just like his early years as the governor.
When he was like that, he once again turned back to his handsome and elegant land.
Gao can see that kind of joy in his eyes.
"Lingjun, the Changping position in these five states is ready and can be expanded again...:"
Perhaps it was because the north was too bad and had reached a level where everything was bound to turn. After the higher people successfully opened the road in the north, the north began to run wildly, household registration, grain production, iron production, and many data were soaring.
, can't stop at all.
Gao didn't even need to stimulate him anymore. Instead, he tied the reins, for fear that the North would rush too quickly.
Now he got to the south of the river again. Gao was still a little worried at first, because he was afraid that there would become a huge burden on Hebei and would stop the momentum of progress.
However, trade with Chen State solved this problem well. Commercial activities not only eased the crisis in the south, but also injected new vitality into the Hebei area, making Liu Han's old nest more powerful.
Gao listened to everyone's story, stroked his beard from time to time, and nodded gently.
"The matter of closing the warehouse regularly must not be interrupted! It still needs to be repaired! All localities still need to stock up on food and grass! The more the better!"
"Tell the governors of all places that they should not be afraid of the grain being damaged and they should be safe to stock up. If the grain cannot be stored, they can be reported to the temple and we will control it, either transport it to the south or sell it outside.
However, it is best not to participate in the place!"
An official suggested: "Lingjun, if the temple comes to do it, it is necessary to set up a new organization and arrange new officials to prepare for this matter. It is better to let the local government do it by themselves... It is fast and costly.
.....”
"No."
The high-spirited look was very determined.
Gao Yan said, "Just as I say, just order it!"
"only....""
Everyone dared not object anymore.
The high school issued many government orders, and everyone said that they were, so they left.
Gao slowly stood up and walked out with great strides. As soon as he reached the door, he saw a man standing not far away with a smile, looking at him.
Gao was stunned, then nodded to the other party and was about to leave, but the man hurriedly blocked Gao's face.
"Why did Gao Lingjun always avoid me?"
This person who stood in front of Gao Ji was Zu Ban.
Logically speaking, Gao Xiang Gao Zhan recommended Zu Ting, which was considered half of Zu Ban's leadership, and the relationship between the two sides should be considered harmonious.
But in fact, Gao has always avoided Zuban.
Gao hates the struggles in the court. He just wants to do his own business with peace of mind and doesn't want to return to the original environment where his own people kill his own people. Therefore, he chose to avoid these ministers in the court.
Away from it,
Don’t interact with them or participate in their fights. Let them do whatever they want. Just do your own thing with peace of mind.
Seeing Zu Ban in front of him, Gao Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What's the matter with the ancestor?"
"Why should you be so unfamiliar?"
Zu Ban looked at the officials who were leaving, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that experiencing the past is not without benefits. At least our officials are very cautious and know what will happen if they let the place go.
question."
Gao had a straight face and ignored Zu Ban.
Zu Ban was not surprised at all, and he said, "Lingjun, I am looking for you for business."
The coldness on Gao's face disappeared a little, "If so, my grandfather will come with me."
Gao took Zu Ban to a house, walked in, and the two of them sat facing each other.
Zu Ban looked around, "It's the first time you have been invited in for so long...\n...\n'
"Let me tell me, my grandfather."
Gao interrupted the other party again.
Zu Ban stopped hiding, and he said with a stern face, "Lingjun, maybe you have heard that there are envoys in the north, and I am going to promote this trade to the north as well.
one,
"Khitans, maybe you have heard that there are many iron ore in their territory, and their smelting technology is pretty good, they make good iron, and even iron coins have been popular there...:"
"I intend to trade with the Khitans, and exchange food and what they need for a lot of iron...
Gao asked Zu Ban to stop first, and then called a civil servant to ask the man to record.
Zu Ban knew Gao's habits, so he carefully talked about his new strategy for the north. He wanted to support the Khitan to compete with the Xi people on both sides with Goguryeo.
Gao listened very seriously and would ask a few questions from time to time, and Zu Ban also answered them one by one.
After the two of them discussed this for a long time, Gao Fang said, "Okay, I probably know, I will be ready."
Zu Ban still likes the tall ones very much.
This person is low-key, doesn't want to fight for power and profit, doesn't hinder himself, and is all about governance. It's still difficult to find such a person.
But Gao doesn’t like Zu Ban very much. The reason is also very simple, and his character is too bad.
Zu Ban showed relief, "Working with Lingjun is a joy. If the other traitors, no matter how good things are, they will be misinterpreted by them, and they will have to work hard to execute them."
"Maybe my grandfather is like this. I have never encountered such a situation when I do things with them."
"That's because they dare not provoke Ling Jun."
Zu Ban stood up and sighed, "Soon I will figure it out sooner or later..."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
Gao Ji stopped him.
"Let's wait."
"What else do you have to do?"
"My grandfather...the copper plate you hold in your hand was given by my brother. If my grandfather likes it, I will buy another one for you. Let me leave this for you.
Zu Ban was stunned, looked at the copper plate in his hand, and hurriedly placed it on the table.
"Ah, I took it to watch it, but I forgot to let it go."
Zu Ban never felt embarrassed, but he smiled and bowed to Gao and turned around and left.
Gao just watched the other party leave and didn't go to see him off. He looked down at the copper plate and just shook his head.
Who are these people?:::
Zu Ban walked out of here, but his mood was very happy.
As long as the emperor comes, the matter in the Northeast will probably be calmed down.
Everyone said that they were resourceful, but in Zu Ban's opinion, His Majesty's wisdom is not bad, just say that this move is "a trick to drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger".
Many people in China couldn't understand it, but Zu Ban understood it.
Your Majesty takes the lead and let the State of Chen and State of Zhou fight like this. No matter which side wins, it will cost an extremely heavy price.
This directly stagnated the development of the two countries itself. Both of them wanted to hit people, so the country couldn't take care of them.
And judging by their attitude, this war may last for a long time.
This is a great thing for the Han Dynasty. What can I enjoy more than developing with peace of mind and then watching the two neighbors fight to the death?
The most important thing is that according to the current recovery speed, if the Chen people could delay for enough time, the Han army could... go straight to Chang'an.
Yuwen Yong summoned a large army to the south, and his north end was empty.
How dare you turn your back to the big man?!
Zu Ban thought about it, but couldn't help but raise his head and laugh.
The officials around heard the laughter and saw the laughing person, and hurriedly hid away.
No, it’s the ancestral madman!
Cheng'an, Taolin.
In the familiar peach forest, almost all relatives and friends from the villages gathered together in the past.
The small village in the past has now become a big town under the rule of Cheng'an, and even its name has changed. It is now called Taoxiang.
After Liu Taozi claimed to be the king of heaven, many officials reported to persuade Liu Taozi to avoid taboos.
Liu Taozi did not agree, and everyone advised him to change his name.
Liu Taozi also ignored it.
He did not implement taboos, so the word "peach" in China could still appear without any restrictions.
At this moment, many villagers gathered in Taolin. These villagers were originally sent to the border, but later Liu Taozi took down Cheng'an Ye City, and most of them moved back, and it was hard to leave their hometown.
Liu Zhang sat among many women, just like in the past, and followed them without knowing what to say in a low voice.
I saw Hulu sitting in it, his face red as blood, his head lowered, and he was submissive.
As for Liu Taozi, she was at the edge of Zhangshui at this moment.
Standing by the way, Cui Gang and Tian Zili were the three of them.
Tian Zili came to Yecheng to report major events this time, and happened to meet Liu Taozi back, so he simply did not rush to leave and stayed with Liu Taozi for a few days.
Men's happiness is often simple.
I saw these people sitting on the shore, holding fishing gear in their hands, and fishing.
Lu Qubing looked around and suddenly spoke, "It seems that there are no big fish here!!"
Tian Zili finally couldn't help it, "Lu Duke, you are like this again."
"If you shout from time to time, you won't be able to find big fish anywhere...:"
A smile appeared on Cui Gang's face.
"Take the roadside to fish, Zili should have expected it."
Tian Zili is also very familiar with Lu Gong's character, so he no longer stops his change, "Anyway, I can't catch it today,
Let’s say it, even if you say it, we all listen!”
"Hahaha."
Several people laughed again.
Lu Qubing sighed, "I came here with Taozi at the beginning, and the change is really huge."
"The north is peaceful."
"Even Shuozhou can be able to avoid leaving any remains, and the robbery cases disappeared. Last year, there were only two robbery cases in the entire state."
Tian Zili said slowly.
"Your Majesty comes from the south. What is the scene in the south? Is it better?"
After hearing the inquiry, Liu Taozi raised her head and said calmly: "There are fewer than in the past, but there are still many. When I lead the army back, I can encounter thieves blocking the road."
Tian Zili was shocked, "What robber dared to intercept passing cavalry?"
"I originally wanted to intercept the past business travelers, but I was caught by the scout."
A few people started chatting like this, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
They could not see any etiquette between the monarch and his subjects. Lu Qubing took a peach at a time. Although the other two dared not say that, they dared to make some harmless jokes.
Just as they were having a happy chat, Lu Qubing looked around, suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Taozi, they said you are going to be ready to destroy Zhou, is this true?"
Lu Quyan said this, and the two people around him suddenly became silent.
Destroy Zhou??
Liu Taozi looked at Lu Qubing calmly, "Where did you hear this?"
"It was when you hadn't come back yet, Zu Ban, who I listened to in the Secretariat, was showing off to others, saying that you were not going to help Chen, but to destroy Zhou."
Cui Gang was immediately furious.
"Your Majesty, Zu Ban really deserves to be cured. Over the years, he has relied on his contributions,
He became more and more arrogant and dared to say anything. He sent people to the Censorate to write a letter every month to impeach his father, Wei Shou and others. He never stopped every month, and he never stopped, and he could
Finding new reasons, as for his personal character, it is simply...
one"
Cui Gang is currently in charge of the Censorate. In fact, he has always chosen to ignore Zu Ban because his father has a bad relationship with Zu Ban. If he tries his best to cure this person, he will inevitably be treated as a public revenge. But now, these words are
He could no longer hold it back.
Cui Gang and Tian Zili complained deeply, showing strong dissatisfaction with Zu Ban.
Liu Taozi had not spoken yet, but Lu Qubing, who was on the side, spoke first.
"Actually, my grandfather is not that bad either."
"In the past few years, he has been very diligent in his work and has almost never relaxed for a day. When have you ever seen his grandfather doing nothing?"
"He may have lost money on Xiaode, but he has made great contributions. Besides, he has made many corrections now..."
Tian Zili was a little confused, "You said that Zu Ban leaked military affairs, why did you start talking to him again now? This...:.:"
"I just spoke, but I didn't think it would be bad for my grandfather. I just hope... I can calm the war earlier and look around.
"The north is stable, and the people can live and work in peace, but the rest of the world is still suffering from war. When will the turmoil of hundreds of years be completely calmed down?"
"It's almost done."
This time, it was Liu Taozi who answered him.
Tian Zili and Cui Gang were both thinking.
Lu Qubing asked quickly, "Take it serious?"
But before Liu Taozi could answer, the people sent by Liu Zhang had already arrived here and invited a few people to go back for dinner.
The four men walked towards the Taolin with diabolic baskets under the escort of many soldiers.
Several people's moods returned to their original state. Lu Qubing teased everyone again, "We took so many things to the water, but we didn't catch a small fish, and we all thought it was going to the river to feed the fish..."
When they returned to Taolin, many of the people who had visited had left, but only Liu Zhang prepared the meal and waited for them to come and eat.
Everyone didn't say much, and sat in the courtyard and started to feast.
Liu Zhang was about to get up and leave, but Liu Taozi spoke, "Mother, I have something to tell you, you should sit down first."
Liu Zhang sat back to his original place.
Liu Taozi swallowed a bite of the rice, "I may have to leave for another time."
"You still have to leave?"
"Where are you going again this time?"
"You've just come back..."
Liu Zhang was a little surprised.
"Don't worry, mother, you have something big to do, and you'll go back after you finish it."
Liu Taozi looked at Lu Qubing and said seriously: "Qujian, you and my brother."
"I may have to go out for a long time this time. My mother is kind to you. If you have time, you can come and visit more without being restricted."
Lu Qubing nodded and blinked. In fact, Liu Taozi didn't need to give him special instructions. He usually came a lot. The clothes he wore now were made by Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang did not ask about national affairs too much, but just went into the house and prepared to go. Every time Liu Taozi wanted to leave,
She always prepares some clothes and shoes.
Only a few of them were left here, and Liu Taozi looked at Lu Qubing again.
"really."
"What?"
"What you asked just now is the time of unity, take it seriously."
Lu Qubing almost jumped up, "Will you go this time..."
"Yuwen Yong's main force is fighting against the Chen people in the south. Once the two sides fight, they will not be able to evacuate in a short period of time."
"I'm leaving Yecheng soon and heading to Xiazhou."
"When the time is right, I will lead the army south, first attack Chang'an, then attack Nanyang, and capture Yuwen Yong alive."
As soon as these words came out, the people around were indeed scared.
Are you really going to destroy Zhou??
Tian Zili suppressed the excitement in his heart. They didn't know how long they had been looking forward to the unification. If they could destroy Zhou State, then Chen State would not be a great enemy, and would sooner or later be destroyed by the Han Dynasty.
He asked hurriedly, "I wonder what my brother has to give?"
Tian Zili knew Liu Taozi's character. If he had nothing to entrust him, he would not have told them about such an important military event.
"There is nothing else to say...but, the world has not yet been peaceful, and all the ministers in the country need to be united and must not fight within themselves."
"The situation has reached its most critical time. You have been following me for a long time. When you reach the last step, you must be more cautious."
Yuzili heard what he meant and hurriedly lowered her head, "Yes!!
Cui Gang and Lu Qubing also quickly said that they were.
Lu Qubing is the most excited.
Chapter completed!
