Liu Xiu received his son in Jinyang and immediately said goodbye to Mrs. Lu, Wang Yun and others. He only had to express his attitude towards the new policy of Bingzhou. The specific details were handled by Wang Yun and others. He had not yet reached a place where he felt that he could handle everything in detail. All he wanted was to point out the direction.
Wang Yun, Guo Feng, Wen Shu are all smart people. After failing to test, they also understood that Liu Xiu was not not not letting them get rich, but they didn't want their foundation to be ruined by their quick success and instant benefits. He pursued long-term and healthy development. If they want to achieve this, they, the powerful aristocratic families, must first control their greed like Liu Xiu. Volume 5, the World Collapse Chapter 455, the Border Patrol (Central) If they do not want to restrain themselves and insist on challenging Liu Xiu's patience, then Liu Xiuzhen will raise the butcher knife, and they will not have any good results in the end. Maybe Liu Xiu will lose and lose all the money, but can another person bring greater benefits to the people of Bingzhou?
No.
The situation in Bingzhou is somewhat different from other states. Bingzhou is mountainous and has limited arable land, so competing for arable land is destined to not be the best way to get rich. If you want to get rich, you can only develop industry and commerce. Industry is the foundation. The Jinyang Workshop, which has mastered the most core technology, is in the hands of Liu Xiu, and he forced Liu Xiu to aggravate. Once he removed the Jinyang Workshop, Bingzhou would not become a sourceless water. It would no longer be able to have such a fast product update speed, and it would be impossible to make so much money.
In the face of interests, the people of Bingzhou chose to compromise. In the face of long-term interests and immediate interests, they chose relatively stable long-term interests. With five or six years of development, there was no need for Liu Xiu to say much. The people of Bingzhou who tried to occupy the entire profit and hit a wall would know what to do.
During the days of waiting for his son, Liu Xiu inspected the workshops of various counties during the day, and at night he had a long talk with Zhao Yun and Jia Xu, analyzing the situation that might have occurred during the period after he left the frontier. As well as how to rescue the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans, we must not only support and control them, but also not be dragged to death by them, nor let them get out of control.
During this period, Xun Yu, Yan Zhong and Fu Xie also rushed over from Guanzhong. With Liu Xiu as the prince of the King of Chu, these people no longer had any doubts about Liu Xiu. In their hearts, most of them had realized that the emperor was not long and the troubled times were coming, and Liu Xiu's power would have an unnegligible effect. Whether it was Xun Yu and Fu Xie who wanted to maintain the Han Dynasty or Yan Zhong who wanted to deceive Liu Xiu to conquer the world, they were all united at this time.
Xun Yu once suspected Liu Xiu, but now he knew that the child that Liu Xiu had been carefully trained was not his own son, but the emperor's legitimate son. He felt a little guilty when he misunderstood Liu Xiu. Now he became cousins with Liu Xiu again, and he realized that things in the world were impermanent, which was really unpredictable.
After more than half a month of planning, Liu Xiu arranged the matter and Zhang Fei also arrived with A Niu. Liu Xiu immediately said goodbye to everyone and headed north. He was going to spend the winter in the Sunset City in Wuyuan.
At the end of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Xiu came to Sunset City with the joy of the arrival of the New Year. Lu Bu, the prefect of Shuofang who had already received the news, and Wang Zhi, the prefect of Wuyuan, went out to greet him. As soon as he met, Liu Xiu got out of the car, Lu Bu came up, spread his arms, gave Liu Xiu a big bear hug, patted Liu Xiu on the back with force, and laughed.
"General, you haven't come some days, this sunset city is lonely."
"Sunset City is lonely, are you lonely?" Liu Xiu smiled and patted him, then saw Li with Wang Zhi and walked towards the Sunset City together. Although Lu Bu's daughter Lu Xiaohuan was only eight years old, she was tall and big, like a twelve or twelve-year-old child. She and Fengxue were acquaintances. After seeing Li with Liu Xiu, she got into Fengxue's carriage. When she saw A Niu who had just walked, she was so rare that she hugged her in her arms and kissed her and laughed. A Niu was not afraid of being angry. She hugged Lu Xiaohuan's neck and smiled so hard that she drooled.
Lu Bu prepared a welcome banquet for Liu Xiu, and then asked to accompany Liu Xiu to patrol the border during the meal. His reason was that although the Xianbei people had been crippled, they were not peaceful recently. There were often minor conflicts. Liu Xiu only brought a thousand personal guards too few. I, Lu Bu, made a military officer for you and escorted you to Beihai. Speaking of which, since the Battle of Guyan Mountain, it has been a few years since I have not been to the grassland.
Liu Xiu did not refuse, but he had to wait at least until after the New Year to go to Beihai. He had to use this time to inspect the northern border. The emperor gave him the task of patrolling the border with the emperor. He always had to make some sense. He himself had to see the situation in the northern border, whether the Xianbei people were stable, whether they would rise again during the chaos in the Central Plains, whether the Wuhuan people were obedient, how many people were colluding with Yuan Shao, and most importantly, he wanted to have a gamble with the left general Gongsun Zan to see what Gongsun Zan had in the future and how much cooperation could be. At the same time, he would also visit Lu Zhi and his son. Although Lu Min was just a prefect of Shanggu, he controlled the Wuhuan in Shanggu. Once all gathered, he could gather at least five or six thousand Wuhuan cavalry, which was a force that could not be underestimated.
The New Year is coming, and Liu Xiu, accompanied by Lu Bu, came to Guanglu City with New Year's rewards. Xu Huang, the general of the Xianbei Guardian, came out of the city to welcome him. After several years of renovation, Guanglu City is now tall and strong, divided into two cities inside and outside. The outer wall is three zhang high and the inner wall is five zhang high. The inner city is the Yacheng, the place where the garrisons live. The outer city is where the people and the merchants who come and go live. Although the grassland is lively fighting with Lian and Murong Feng, no one dares to easily harass the border. Hu City has become the closest connection between Hu Han. Most people who come from the grass will choose to rest in Guanglu City. In order to receive cheaper goods, some Han merchants are more willing to go to Sujiang City to trade with Hu merchants.
Liu Xiu stood on the city wall, looking at Guanglu City, which was prosperous, and praised: "Gongming, you have worked hard for the past few years."
Xu Huang's face was dark and his cheeks were a little red. It was blown out by the north wind for many years. He looked a little old and looked like a person who had been over forty years. In fact, he was not yet thirty years old. However, he was very strong and energetic, with clear eyes. I think that in the past few years, he was busy with military affairs in Guanglu City, his own cultivation had not fallen behind, and his realm was no less than Xiahou Yuan and others.
"It is worth it to work harder. If you are the generals, you should protect the country and the people." Xu Huang smiled and said, "In my lifetime, it is worth it to be able to defend the borders for the Han Dynasty and protect the security of Bingzhou, and prevent the Xianbei people from stepping into Bingzhou."
Liu Xiu smiled. Xu Huang was from Hedong. Once something happened in the Central Plains, the nomadic people on the grassland could enter the Central Plains at any time. Wherever the horse's hooves reached, they went deep into Hedong and the capital. Xu Huang defended Guanglu City, which was to defend Bingzhou and even Hedong. From this point of view, he was also to defend his home.
"After that being said, the north is bitter and cold, and it is not so easy to stay." Liu Xiu patted the cold city wall: "What are the complaints of the soldiers? Should they go home for the New Year? Have you put them back?"
"Most of the people who have taken the New Year's rest have gone back, and some of the soldiers have settled their homes here now, so they don't have to leave at all." Xu Huang pointed to a residential area in the southeast corner and said: "It is a military-class concentration area, and the soldiers all live there, close to Hu City. Most of them have stalls in Hu City, operating some commodity trading, and some people have become businessmen and have a big business."
Liu Xiu nodded. He knew that life in the north was hard. In order to allow the soldiers to guard the border here with peace of mind, he asked Cao Hong to give some of the profits to the soldiers of Guanglu City, so that they could have money to build land, build houses, get married, have children, have a permanent property, and have a family, so that they could live here with peace of mind. With people, they could have a safe way to live here. They did not have to pay taxes to reclaim land, and they could mainly feed themselves. If they could not finish it, they could also sell it to the government at the market price. Although the quantity was limited, one stone of grain produced here was equivalent to a small amount of ten stones of grain transported from the mainland, and the accumulation of small amounts was large, and the quantity was still considerable.
Judging from the situation he saw along the way, the people in Guanglu City were stable, and the soldiers trained very hard. Although there were only more than 2,000 people, these two thousand were all elite soldiers who were good at both infantry and cavalry. Xu Huang had a high level of training and the city walls were also complete. He just checked the city guard crossbow placed in the corner tower. The crossbow was spotlessly rubbed, oiled, covered with cloth, and the winch was very flexible. He could mount the strings and arrows at any time to enter the combat state. The soldiers who were fighting the crossbow were skillful in movements and had very high shooting skills. They demonstrated to Liu Xiu on the spot and shot ten arrows, with a radius of only two steps away from the shooting point.
"How is the situation of the Xianbei people?"
"They, dog bites a dog, and a mouthful of hair." Xu Huang smiled rare, "Ling Zhongping just sent back a message yesterday, and Lian was digging a hole for Murong Feng again. He grabbed Huai Zong's son Kuitou and forced Murong Feng to go to Danhan Mountain to bow to him, otherwise he would kill Kuitou and let Huai Zong die."
Liu Xiu curled his lips. This Xianbei was really strange. He actually used his brother's orphan to threaten an outsider. This was also caused by Murong Feng. Who told him to use Huai Zong to make a statement? He regarded himself as Huai Zong's general.
To borrow the power of others, one must make some efforts. In history, Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes. At the beginning, he took advantage of all the advantages, but later it became the biggest obstacle to his usurpation of the throne. For this reason, he and Xun Yu and others turned against each other and suppressed several rebellions. He did not dare to take that step before his death. Instead, he took advantage of Liu Bei. Emperor Xian of Han was obviously not dead, but Liu Bei mourned Emperor Xian of Han and then proclaimed himself emperor.
"Does Murong Feng still have the ability to fight back?"
"There is basically no." Xu Huang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Based on the news that our Ling Zhongping had found out and the merchants coming from the grassland, we can see that Murong Feng was dying and was hiding from the east. Not only did he have to be on guard against Helian, but also those who wanted to use his head to report his meritorious service. His friends were basically cleaned up by Helian one by one."
"That's right." Liu Xiu blinked: "Then we should help Murong Feng too. Gongming asked Zhongping to send a message to Helian, and said that I'm here and I'm going to meet with my old friends for a while."
Xu Huang nodded understandingly: "Okay, give Murong Feng a chance. Whether he can seize it depends on his ability."
"Don't underestimate Murong Feng, this famous Xianbei general is not a vegetarian."!!!
