Chapter 919

"I'll see my father!" Liu Zhao bowed and obeyed.

"Come back! Go with me. "

The voice of the aged sounded in Liu Zhao's ear.

"Father emperor!" His mood was agitated and complicated.

I haven't seen you for several years. My father is so old that I can't look at him directly.

Wende Di laughed. He wanted to reach out and pat Liu Zhao on the shoulder, but suddenly found that his son was half a head taller than him.

At the moment when Emperor Wende was ready to put down his hand, Liu Zhao suddenly made an unexpected move.

He squatted down, looked up at Wende emperor, full of complex emotions, called out: "father emperor!"

Wendedi's lips moved and his eyes were complicated. In the twinkling of an eye, he laughed again. This time, he successfully patted Liu Zhao on the shoulder, "well, I didn't lose the face of Liu's royal family."

"I dare not lose my life, I dare not lose face."

"Ha ha ha..."

With his hands behind his back, Wende took the lead out of the hall and walked along the three foot wide path toward the back mountain.

Liu Zhao was half a step behind and followed the emperor Wende.

From time to time, he held out his hand and let it go before the emperor noticed it.

He did it naturally.

Sometimes Liu Zhao thought that he hated him.

He hated his father's unfairness and his ruthlessness.

However, when he saw his father with white hair and white hair and a slow and heavy step, all his hatred turned into nothingness.

In my memory, my father and emperor, who is upright and dignified by nature, will have an old day.

Even if you are an emperor, you can't escape.

Liu Zhao's heart fluctuated, giving birth to many feelings.

Both father and son did not speak and climbed the mountain in silence.

The palace men and bodyguards followed.

Finally, we got to the top of the mountain.

The back mountain is not high enough to see the small mountains. Can only see hidden in the mountains between the palace group hall, shuttle among the palace people, concubines.

On the outskirts of the palace, there are many houses where officials, Royal relatives and others live.

Liu Zhao looked around and finally found the place where he and Gu Jiu lived.

It is located in the center of many houses.

He was startled by the stars?

Is this intentional? Or coincidence?

He looked at Vander.

Vander found a stone and was ready to sit down.

Chang en hurried forward and put the soft cushion on the stone, "the stone is cool, your majesty is careful of your body."

Wende waved to him to step down.

He beckoned Liu Zhao to come to him. "Tell me something about the northwest. What is the situation now? Do you see Lu Hou? "

"To my father, the situation in the Northwest has been settled. The governor's office is determined to send troops into the depths of the grassland and seize the opportunity to occupy the grassland. "

"Occupy the grassland?" Emperor Wende pondered, "Li Bingming mentioned such a sentence in the memorial. I didn't think about it carefully. Tell me what you and Li Bingming think

"The idea of the children's minister and Mr. Li is to push the border into the deep grassland."

Vander frowned.

"The grassland is very large and the climate is bad. It is not suitable for farming. It is only suitable for grazing life where people live by water. Living by water means population migration. How can the government manage it? There were only officials of one place and one city in Dazhou, but there were no officials who migrated with the herdsmen. This is not conducive to the administration of the court. "

"What my father said is true. This is also the fundamental reason why the successive dynasties gave up the management of grassland. There was no way to carry out the statistics of population and land and could not manage it. But if we do not manage the grassland, the enemy will manage it. The enemy not only manages grasslands, but also tramples on us. "

After a pause, Liu Zhao continued: "without Beirong, Dazhou will not manage the grassland. In a few decades, a new nation will be born on the grassland. All Xirong and Dongrong were ambitious and planned to plunder Dazhou for a living. He thought that he could not take the old road of the past dynasties, but could try to take a new road, a road that the predecessors had not gone through. The son minister thought, the new road no matter how bad, will not be worse than the situation in the previous two years. "

Wende looked into the distance, frowned and thought, "what kind of new road do you want to take?"

Liu Zhao said: "a few years ago, with the permission of his father, a number of fortresses were built on the grassland. Relying on these fortresses, they effectively intercepted the Xiliang cavalry and established an effective supply line. If you manage the prairie, you can take these fortresses and fortresses as the center to count the population and livestock. "

"Have you ever thought about how much it will cost to manage the grassland? Where does the money come from? How much tax can grassland herdsmen and livestock provide? What if the fortress was learned by barbarians and dealt with Zhou in turn? "

Liu Zhao was obviously prepared. He said calmly: "my son has carefully considered that the expenses are mainly from three parts. One is to set up fixed-point markets and extract livestock transaction tax. The second is to establish the wine making industry and extract liquor tax. Third, mineral tax. Grassland also has mineral resources, which is worth paying attention to. In a few decades, maybe we can build a city on the grassland. "Vander laughed. "It's a good idea, but it's just an idea. Tell your ideas in court. I dare say that no courtier will support you to do so. "

"I understand! The son minister is not in a hurry. It needs to be planned slowly. "

Wende Di nodded approvingly, "it's good to have an idea. If you don't do things in a hurry, don't be impulsive

"The children's ministers should bear in mind the teachings of their father." Liu Zhao bowed and said.

Emperor Wende looked at Chang en.

Chang en knows the opportunity and immediately takes people far away.

The guards surrounded the whole mountain to make sure that no mosquito could fly in.

Emperor Wende patted the stone beside him and motioned Liu Zhao to sit down.

Liu Zhao chose a small stone and sat at the bottom.

Wende asked in a chatty tone: "tell me about Lu Hou! Can the court control him? "

Liu Zhao pondered for a moment and solemnly said, "the general situation of marquis Lu has become, and it is difficult to control it. If we take tough measures, we are afraid that it will be difficult to avoid the military disaster. "

Wende Di frowned, "can't we deal with him? Do I have to cut the northwest to him? With the northwest, he wanted to own the whole week. Even if there will be a military disaster, we must find a way to get rid of Lu Hou's inner trouble. Continue to raise their Pei family father and son, and one day they will raise a tiger to become a trouble, and raise a disorderly minister and a thief. "

Wende Di was very anxious. He wanted to solve the problem of the northwest army as soon as possible.

After the two foreign wars of Beirong and Xiliang were solved, the northwest army seemed to be the internal worry of Zhou Dynasty, which was the biggest and most serious unstable factor.

Liu Zhao said: "father, don't be angry! If you can avoid military disaster, you should try to avoid it. My son has an immature idea that may be useful. "

"Tell me."

Liu Zhao dipped his fingers into the water and made a few random strokes on the stone to outline the general topography of the northwest.

"We can try to drive the wolf and swallow the tiger to drive the northwest army to attack the West. The imperial court provided part of the grain and grass, and the rest allowed the northwest army to plunder along the way to support the war. "

Liu Zhao's fingers moved to Xiliang. "If the northwest army could attack this place, it would be far away, and it would be unrealistic to send officials to govern. It's better to be generous and seal this place to Pei family. He made Pei family manage the west of Northwest for generations, and the military peak of Zhou Dynasty went to the West firmly. It can also be used to train soldiers. We will pull the new recruits in batches to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army. At the same time, the fortress on the grassland will become the first barrier of Zhou's name. This is a preliminary idea of the son. What does the father think of it? "

Wende looked at the stone and remained silent for a long time.

The water gradually dried up and disappeared.

Wende did not look away.

After a long time, Emperor Wende breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that your personal opinion?"

Liu Zhao shook his head. "Mr. Li has the same idea. It's a must to avoid military disaster."

Wendeti asked again, "how much is Gu Jiu involved in your idea?"

Liu zhaoleng was on the spot.

Wen de Di ha ha ha a smile, "you still want to hide from me, dream. Such a long-term plan, such a large amount of writing, it seems to be Gu Jiu's style of doing things. She likes to count birds with one stone. She always tries to take care of the interests of many parties in one thing. This plan is tantamount to splitting the soil and sealing the Marquis, and using the land of Xiliang as a favor to win over the Pei family and the northwest army.

I guess the Marquis Lu should not be able to refuse. After all, he had no assurance of victory over the Imperial Army, and he did not want to lose everything he had. The situation is stalemate, but it can't be permanent. The northwest army's westward advance is a stroke of magic. "

Liu Zhao secretly sweat.

He really did not expect that his father was so sharp that he saw through this opportunity and had Gu Jiu's shadow.

Wende Di finished and laughed again.

After laughing, he asked, "did Gu Jiu say how much money and how many years will it take to promote this opportunity?"

Liu Zhao did not hide that, "within ten years, we will complete this plan. The amount of money and food needed is no less than 10 million Liang. "

Wende Di frowned, "where does so much money come from?"

"Plunder from Beirong and Xiliang."

"She dares to think. It is more magnificent than many officials in the imperial court. It's bullshit for those ministers who are nagging at my ears about the country of benevolence and righteousness every day. "

Liu Zhao laughed, "Xiaojiu also said that the external enemy benevolence and righteousness is the greatest cruelty to the people of the Zhou Dynasty."

"That's a good thing. It should be told to the courtiers. Let them also know what is true benevolence and righteousness. "

Emperor Wende was in a good mood.

It is impossible for me to realize this plan in one year. It's up to you to solve Lu Hou and Pei family. "

"Father emperor!" Liu Zhao was shocked.

When the emperor Wende said this, he would pass on the throne to him.

Emperor Wende said with an open smile, "I know my body, and I don't have much time left. I don't feel at ease if I give it to others. I'll leave it to you. I'll rest assured. "Liu Zhao knelt down on the ground with red eyes. "My son's ministers dare not fail to live up to his father's entrustment, open up the territory, and promote the heavenly power of the great Zhou Dynasty, so that all the people in the world can hear the voice of Da Zhou."

"Good will! I also want to go to the west of the northwest to see if there are really so many countries and so many people. "
