At the beginning of autumn, two months have passed since Lu Bu subdued Yanzhou with force and ordered Cao Cao and Liu Bei to temporarily stop fighting, and the whole world has not fallen into peace because of Yanzhou's false pacification.
After learning that Liu Bei had attacked Yanzhou, Tao Qian of Xuzhou regretted it, and then after Liu Bei and Cao Cao stopped fighting, he thought that there was an opportunity to attack Pengcheng, wanting to take advantage of Cao Cao's weakness to take Pengcheng back.
As a result, it is self-evident that Cao Cao's heart, but he is not happy, although the recovery of Yanzhou is not smooth, but it does not mean that Cao Cao at this time can be kneaded, Tao Qian was first beaten by Cao Hong, who was guarding Pengcheng, and then Cao Cao directly took the opportunity to send troops after getting the information, Tao Qian not only failed to recover Pengcheng's plan, but also Cao Cao took the opportunity to seize Tan County, and even Donghai County was occupied by Cao Cao, if it were not for Liu Beitun's troops to help Yin, Tai Shici sent troops to Mount Tai, so that Cao Cao threw a mouse bogey, I am afraid that this battle, Tao Qian will become history.
As soon as the East China Sea went, Lang Evil became a lonely city, Tao Qian was unable to govern, and could only take care of Lang Evil's temporary friend Kong Rong, although it was temporary, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the East China Sea would not be taken back for a day, and Tao Qian of Lang Evil would not want to take it back, and the five counties of Xuzhou were left with only Xiapi and Guangling, even if Cao Cao had to give up the plan to completely destroy Tao Qian because of the pressure of Liu Bei and Kong Rong, Tao Qian, who only had two counties left, was now difficult to compete with Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao in the north has begun to use troops against Youzhou, and Yuan Shu in the south is also strengthening his control over Jiangdong.
In the first year of Xingping, it seems that the whole world is in chaos, the princes attack each other, your family sings and I appear, but it is the land of Guanzhong, Zhu Jun stationed in Luoyang, silently, Guanzhong did not move troops abroad, but buried in development, it seems that the chaos of the whole world has nothing to do with the imperial court in general, compared to the chaos of the princes, Guanzhong has become a paradise.
Under the invisible propaganda of the traders from the south to the north, many displaced people began to move to Luoyang and Guanzhong, and many Guanzhong people who had previously avoided to other places because of the war also began to migrate back, although not much, but this is a good sign, and the heritage of Guanzhong is growing bit by bit.
After an autumn rain, the whole Chang'an City is immersed in a joyful atmosphere, this year is another bumper harvest year, and it is better than last year.
How good it is, we have to know after the autumn harvest, but it is a fact that it is better than last year, the effect of Liu Xie's vigorous rise in industry has begun to appear, not only Hanxing plow, Liu Xie's behind-the-scenes promoter, after Hanxing plow, did not interfere too much with the development of industry.
However, now the whole industry has begun to form, Chang'an, Guanzhong and even Xiliang have begun to appear some private workshops, most of which are established by the family, recruiting craftsmen, although Liu Xie did not deliberately promote the development of commerce, but the prosperity of industry wants to be transformed into interests, naturally inseparable from the help of commerce, and even do not need Liu Xie to do anything, these people have begun to be driven by interests, began to increase investment in business.
In Liu Xie's view, the means are still primitive, but compared with before, Liu Xie can clearly feel that some old concepts have begun to be replaced by new concepts, and Liu Xie is in it, in fact, he has not done anything, sometimes, the progress or transformation of the concept is not a person with advanced concepts and then drives the whole era, but when the general trend appears, and the old concept is not enough to prevent the growth of this new concept, it will change naturally.
What Liu Xie has to do in it is just to make this trend up, and the feudal ideology has not yet reached the time when it is deeply rooted, whether it is Confucianism or other schools, it is still in the process of exploration, and at this time, people's thinking can accept change.
If it is really like in history, this kind of thinking has been solidified and perfected for thousands of years, and has formed an invisible but unbreakable ideological net, it is impossible to break through the cage of this ideology from the inside, even if Liu Hehe is the emperor, once he wants to move this big net, as long as he moves, he will be counterattacked by the whole world from all sides, and the country will be destroyed, and it will not play any role.
If that time really comes, there is no way to think about this kind of thinking except for external forces.
Well, that's a bit far.
Liu Xie shook his head, threw out the messy thoughts, and refocused his attention on the copywriting, although now the entire court has been on the right track in accordance with Liu Xie's plan, Liu Xie does not need to be too tired to handle the government in an orderly manner, at least at the moment, Sanfu, Si Li, plus Xiliang and Hetao are such a big stall, Liu Xie only needs half an hour a day to deal with it in an orderly manner, but some major events or key nodes Liu Xie must master.
For example, intelligence, public opinion, taxation, military power, and personnel appointments and dismissals, as long as these five key rights are always in Liu Xie's hands, the imperial court will not collapse, and he does not have to worry about being set aside.
Liu Xie has been in a good mood recently, and with Liu Xie's proposal, Pu Yuan and others finally got the soil kang out, and then recently found more than a dozen open-pit graphite mines in Lantian, Zhangye, and Anding.
Graphite sounds a little unfamiliar, but if you use modern words, graphite ore is coal mine, the Western Han Dynasty, has begun to use coal to smelt iron, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, coal mining has begun to be used for people's livelihood, but the price is relatively expensive, except for some rich families, few people can afford to use it.
The reason is that the source of coal and the problem of mining identification, so that the source of coal is relatively single, and in terms of use, in addition to smelting, people's livelihood, at most, is to get a charcoal basin, the smell is very bad, plus the price is expensive, even if it is a rich family, it will be used during the coldest period, generally even in winter, but also prefer to burn firewood rather than charcoal.
Now that the kang has been brought out, this winter, there will be fewer deaths In the past, because there were no conditions, in winter, even if Liu Xie knew that many people would die, he could only watch, there was no way, there was no effective way to mine coal resources, and he could only focus on the military industry first.
Now, with Liu Xie's special organization of a team to explore coal mines, after the discovery of more than a dozen open-pit coal mines in the territory, this problem has been solved, with a steady stream of coal being transported out and put into people's livelihood, this winter, will be much better, Guanzhong will be more prosperous.
After standing up and stretching his body fiercely, Liu Xie was in a good mood, after graphite could be invested in large quantities, the main research direction of the Ministry of Industry was how to increase the efficiency of iron training and coal use.
Liu Xie's requirement is only one, efficient use The progress of the times is not achieved overnight, but he can put this concept down first, now the Han Dynasty has led the world too much, there is no need to rush for quick success, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, such a little bit of accumulation, when the accumulation is enough, there will naturally be qualitative changes, this kind of thing, can't be in a hurry.
However, with the gradual increase in the use of cement and coal, it should not take long for the Han Dynasty to enter the age of stone and steel from the original wooden buildings.
Looking at the sky, Liu Xie stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall, the construction of the Chengming Hall has come to an end, and it should be able to live in it before the year.
Wei Zhong trotted to Liu Xie's side: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"Let's go to the Ministry of Works."
Liu Xie said with a smile.
Recently, with the efforts of Zhen Yao and others, the Western Regions have begun to lay out, and next, it is time to make huge profits, at this time, the Ministry of Industry can not drop the chain, he studied several profiteering projects in Liu Xie provided the general direction and raw materials after the processing method, now there should be results, as long as this side is prepared, the Western Regions, can start operating immediately, if successful, in the next few years, Guanzhong's development funds will be no problem.
"Slave maid, let's go and prepare," Wei Zhong agreed, and went to prepare the frame and guards.
Now that Liu Xie is out of the palace, the road he travels must be under martial law, not because Liu Xie likes to play music, but as Chang'an becomes more and more prosperous, the imperial court gradually becomes stronger, and Liu Xie's safety has become the top priority today.
In the past, even if Liu Xie, for the princes, the world was in chaos, and even if the Son of Heaven was no longer a puppet, it was still a decoration for the princes.
But with the capture of Xiliang, the influence of the imperial court on the princes has become greater and greater, and this time it is directly involved in the affairs of Yanzhou, dividing the originally complete Yanzhou into two, in addition to sitting on Lu Bu's position as the world's first fierce general, it is also a dangerous signal to the princes.
The imperial court already has the ability to influence the world, which is not a good thing for the princes, if Liu Xie dies at this moment, it will be a good thing for the princes, and therefore, improving Liu Xie's security precautions is definitely not a trivial matter for the imperial court.
Deng Zhan, who assassinated Liu Xie, has not been arrested until now, and it is also a wake-up call, for Liu Xie's security issues, now the DPRK and China, whether it is the civil and military generals promoted by Liu Xie, or the big families, are extremely important, regardless of whether they approve of Liu Xie's policies, but Liu Xie, now is already a banner in Guanzhong, if something happens to Liu Xie, not only will Guanzhong, which should be prosperous now, fall apart, but these families will also suffer great losses.
I didn't see that since Liu Xie took power, the major families have been weakened to a certain extent, but that is only in terms of power and status, but in fact, if you talk about wealth alone, not only is there no loss, but with the gradual rise of Guanzhong, the wealth of the Guanzhong family is stronger than before, these are all brought by Liu Xie, as for the rights, although the family is now suppressed in the right, but they have knowledge, ten or twenty years later, the poor talents withered, the family still controls everything, and the vision should be longer-term.
Now as long as Liu Xie continues to be strong all the way, the Guanzhong family will not really decline. t1706231537:
