Three days of time in a flash, seeing, on the afternoon of the third day after leaving Luoyang, Liu Xie finally arrived outside Chang'an under the escort of Lu Bu and others, because of the special track, this starting point is naturally impossible to build in the city, and when Liu Xie's frame arrived, Yang Biao and others who had already received the news led the civil and military forces who stayed in Chang'an had been waiting at the track mouth outside the city, a small building was specially established here, and there were several warehouses, this track, in the future, it was an important place to transport materials from Chang'an to Luoyang, The materials collected on weekdays will be hoarded here, so that once they are to be mobilized, they can be sent to Luoyang from here in time, which is very convenient.
There are more heavy guards around, and it seems to have become a military location in the area of Chang'an City.
"The ministers welcome Your Majesty back to the court."
Under the leadership of Yang Biao, a cadre of civil and military officers bowed to Liu Xie's frame.
"This place is not close to Chang'an, why should you be like this."
Liu Xie took the Qiao sisters out of the frame, raised his hand, and motioned for everyone to be exempt.
"Your Majesty, this is a gift from a monarch and a minister, and it cannot be abolished."
Yang Biao bowed.
"Okay, the hearts of the ministers, I feel it, but it's freezing this day, since I've come back, don't say anything more here, if you have anything to say, I'll wait until I go back to the palace."
Liu Xie waved his hand, jumped down from the carriage, and his own maid helped the Qiao sisters down.
"Taifu, what do you think of this track" Everyone went all the way back to Weiyang Palace, Liu Xie asked people to serve hot soup to a group of civil and military officials, and looked at Yang Biao with a smile.
"This" Yang Biao thought for a while and said: "Although it takes time and effort, but it is completed at this time, I heard from the people of the Ministry of Industry say that His Majesty will arrive in Chang'an from Luoyang in only three days, if it is used for state affairs, it is indeed beneficial to the country." ” Not only is it advantageous, to get rich, first build the road, although this track has not yet been officially put into use, but only look at its efficiency, material transportation, but can save a lot of effort, in the long run, only this road, for the imperial court, can save manpower and material resources is immeasurable.
Speaking of this, Yang Biao's face was also a little impressive, he was strongly opposed to this matter at the beginning, you must know that the pre-Qin exhausted the power of a country, and only built a track, who would have thought that the Ministry of Industry would get the cement out, the pre-Qin only had such a concept, and in the end it was not really realized, and now in the hands of Liu Xie, it has been realized.
With cement, laying this track is much simpler, fixed, and preventing theft, the biggest problems have been solved to a large extent, and the rest of the things are naturally not a problem.
"Okay, I don't blame Taifu, it's just that my court as the hope of the world, when encountering problems, what should be thought about is not what difficulties there are, but how to overcome difficulties, things in this world are always done by people, think about thousands of years ago, my ancestors of the human race were not the same as the monkey, they were not as good as us when they drank blood, but one thing is better than us, they will not retreat when they encounter difficulties, because retreat means destruction, it is so, our human race has a house, can eat cooked meat, and learned to farm, With clothes to wear, that's the difference between us humans and animals.
Liu Xie said casually.
"Today, in terms of this matter, it is also my feelings, Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, since I was born, I have always accepted such a statement, but every time I think about it, I am always a little puzzled, as far as the country is concerned, including me, and all the great sages here, although they are knowledgeable, but in this world, what we are doing is to distribute wealth, and it is these farmers and craftsmen who really create wealth, it is with them that we, the people who do not divide the grain, can sit in this spacious palace and discuss the so-called big things."
"Your Majesty, although this statement is reasonable, the existence of the imperial court also has its significance."
When Yang Biao heard this, his face changed, and he said in a deep voice.
"I'm not saying that the court is meaningless, otherwise, why should I sit here as the son of heaven, the strength of the race is inseparable from the rules, and my court is the rules of my human race, and it is also the foundation of the growth of the human race, I just said that the scholar is important, but I also hope that the secretary can see clearly, under this scholar, agriculture is the foundation, but industry and commerce are also an indispensable part."
Seeing Yang Biao and the others frowning, Liu Xie changed the topic and said with a smile: "Take this expedition against Yuan Shu as an example, although our dynasty has 50,000 troops in Xuancheng to the outside world, but in fact there are only 30,000 garrisons in the Lanchi camp, and Yuan Shu, since I arrived at Yique Pass, has put into the battlefield as many as 150,000, five times the strength of my court, the final result is that Yuan Shu was defeated and lost, and my court is like a bamboo, not only did not lose the army, but this force is more and more, you can know that when I left Nanyang, how many were the original 30,000 troops until the end of the war" Nanyang victory, this is the first victory of the imperial court since Liu Xie regained power, and it is a big victory, the ministers have some news channels, and they are not ignorant of the battle situation on the front line, but they only know that the imperial court soldiers and horses are fighting more and more, Yuan Shu lost the city and lost the land one after another, and finally had to ask the court for peace, and presented the jade seal of the country and the table.
You must know that when Liu Xie personally conquered, I don't know how many people were not optimistic about this battle, and some people even secretly contacted Yuan Shu, the victory of this battle was a battle that laid the supreme military prestige of the imperial court, and everyone was more curious, how big this victory was "Please also make it clear to Your Majesty."
Yang Biao, as a prince, naturally has his own news channels, but looking at Liu Xie's appearance at this time, it is not easy to say, so he can only look at Liu Xie with a curious look.
"Eighty thousand" Liu Xie gestured and said with a smile: "The Runan army, plus the Nanyang army, there are 60,000 people, and then Yuan Shu was forced to sacrifice the families of these Runan soldiers together, and won 200,000 people." hiss For a while, everyone couldn't help but gasp one by one, the harvest of this battle was even greater than imagined, not only Nanyang, the most important thing was the harvest of population, Nanyang is a big county, plus these 200,000 people, now the population of the imperial court is about to be close to five million, with this foundation to lay the foundation, why not reinvigorate the Han family.
"Do you know why this victory is easy" Liu Xie looked at everyone's shocked looks, and didn't care if these people were pretending to be with him, and asked with a smile.
"Our court occupies the righteousness, to fight against the rebellion, Your Majesty is well-commanded, the soldiers are brave, even if Yuan Shu has millions of people, it is not the opponent of our court soldiers."
When a group of civil and military officials heard this, they naturally sang praises again.
"There is some truth in what you have said, but not all."
Liu Xie said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they looked at Liu Xie puzzled, although there were some sycophants, but judging from the results, it was true, the elite level of the soldiers in the Lanchi battalion was not to say that one was ten, but in the same scale, it was as powerful as a bamboo.
"I'll do the math for your families, and you'll probably know the reason."
Liu Xie beckoned to Wei Zhong, and Wei Zhong hurriedly sent the things that Liu Xie had ordered to prepare before.
Liu Xie picked up a bow and looked at everyone: "This is a new bow made by the Ministry of Industry last year, with the same force to pull the bow, the range of this bow can be ten steps farther than the range of Yuan Jun's archers." ” The ministers looked at each other, and some generals could understand the gap, but Wenchen didn't quite understand, ten steps was just that, not to mention the soldiers who were trained, even if they were weak people, if they wanted to cross ten steps, it wouldn't take long.
"Let's put it this way, assuming that both sides are 10,000 troops rushing head-on, this ten paces distance, if there is no shield to protect it, the other side has to take thousands of lives in exchange."
Liu Xie said with a smile.
This is an ideal state, in fact, in ancient Chinese warfare, what is important is multi-arms cooperation, it is impossible to really have this kind of problem, at most ten paces away, it may be possible to take the opponent's many lives, but a thousand people, unless the other party is a Yellow Turban Army that does not have any military literacy.
Ignoring the surprised looks of the Wenchen, Liu Xie picked up a ring-head knife from the tray again, and said with a smile: "This is also produced by the Ministry of Industry, which is stronger and sharper than the ordinary ring-head knife. ” Needless to say, stirrups and saddles, the long weapons in the army, it is not easy to demonstrate at this moment, Liu Xie picked up the binoculars from the tray, looked at the ministers and said: "With this thing, as long as our army occupies the high ground, ten miles away, we can clearly perceive the enemy's every move, if we march in the wilderness, we can also detect the enemy's traces earlier than the enemy and decide the strategy." ” Looking at the surprised looks on the faces of the ministers, Liu Xie smiled with satisfaction: "And these are all the merits of the Ministry of Industry, our army can win this time, morale and people's hearts are important, but if there are no these sophisticated weapons and utensils, it will be able to win, it will also be a miserable victory, it is difficult to get the results of today's battle." ” Yang Biao looked at Liu Xie, and finally came back to his senses, going around and around, in the final analysis, Liu Xie still had to correct the name of the craftsman, looked at the shocked expressions of the surrounding ministers, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it seems that this time, the Son of Heaven is going to take advantage of this big victory to further improve the status of the Ministry of Industry.
Letting a group of craftsmen rank in the same court with him, just thinking about it, makes people feel an inexplicable sense of humiliation.
"I think that although the soldiers who killed the enemy on the front line are indispensable, in the rear, the craftsmen who continue to provide excellent weapons also have merit, but there are few people in the Ministry of Industry, and it is unlikely that the credit will be shared equally, so I plan to make one-tenth of the credit of the soldiers who killed the enemy in the front, as the credit of the Ministry of Industry, as long as the machine accumulates enough credit, the corresponding positions can be promoted, as well as salaries, what do you think?"
