Chapter 43 The Foundation
It’s been two full years since I returned to Luoyang again.《》/《》/
Liu Xuan did not return to the palace directly, but walked around Luoyang City in a very low-key manner.
The time he left Luoyang was not particularly long. Two years seemed not enough time to do anything, but Liu Xuan saw that his country had undergone earth-shaking changes.
It can be seen from the lives of the people that the current Han Dynasty is already ahead of other countries in the world. It is not just a matter of an era. Even if it is more than two thousand years ahead, it is not an exaggeration.
Especially after Huang Yueying's guidance, many things can be said to have clear goals early on, and all that needs to be done is to overcome these difficulties.
Looking at the ordinary people talking and laughing on the street, as well as some people who seemed to have something to solve in a hurry, Liu Xuan was very happy with the speed of Dahan's development.
Looking back, she saw Sun Shangxiang turning his head and looking around from time to time - she had never seen this bustling and lively scene before.
The last time she saw the city of Luoyang, Luoyang was still a new city that had just been built. Its layout and many scenery were nothing special. At most, it was more prosperous than other towns in Dahan.
Later, every trip was accompanied by the army, and the routes taken by the army were fixed. Those streets also had special functions and would not undergo major changes. This led to Sun Shangxiang's impression that Luoyang was prosperous.
Very, to say the least, there is nothing unusual about it.
But it's different now. Compared to Liu Xuan, Sun Shangxiang has more novelties.
"Does it feel fresh?"
Sun Shangxiang nodded. She had never seen many things before and didn't know anything about them at all. Moreover, the food sold by many roadside stalls was also very fresh. If her special physique didn't require eating, she would probably run over and try it.
.
"In the future, these things... will be visible in every corner of the world!"
Nowadays, the development of the Han Dynasty is very rapid. Almost every place looks the same every year. For example, Liaozhou has now reached a preliminary scale. Although the population is not large, it has blocked several key places and can still ensure the control of Liaozhou.
of control.
At the same time, Liaozhou has also become a transportation hub for Northern Yan, Northern Zhou, and Northern Zhao countries to the Han Dynasty. In order to ensure long-term trade relations with the Han Dynasty, these three Xianbei countries have consciously or unconsciously begun to develop
The industry Liu Xuan hopes they will develop.
For example, breeding industry, training of war horses, etc. - In this way, the Han Dynasty has two training bases in the northwest and the north, which not only increases the efficiency a lot, but also stimulates the two companies to compete with each other, preventing one company from being dominant and leading to perfunctory results.
thing.
Of course, if that happens, Liu Xuan can be cruel and kill everyone to scare everyone. But Liu Xuan governs such a large country, how can he keep an eye on a horse farm every day? So when he found out,
Then the loss has been caused, and the combat power of the army will be impressed. Therefore, prevention should be the priority if we can prevent it in advance.
After turning around for a few times, Liu Xuan saw a child holding a toy in his hand and laughing and running past him. However, he fell to the ground within two steps, and the toy in his arms also fell to the side - it was exactly
The most popular war model in Dahan in recent years.
The child did not cry after falling, but immediately got up, picked up his toys, laughed and ran away without a trace!
"This kid will probably become a general in the future!"
Several people nearby also saw this scene and laughed and made fun of the child.
But not everyone seemed to agree with these remarks. As soon as he said the words, a young man next to him said: "Now that the world is at peace, it is time to recuperate and govern the world. You should study the scriptures and meanings diligently."
A collection of poems, how can I spend all day thinking about it?"
Liu Xuan glanced at the voice, and it seemed that he was a young scholar. Seeing that his words had attracted the attention of many people, the scholar immediately shook his head and said a lot. The content was nothing more than that the world was finally at peace. At this time, the army and horses had been reduced and they were recuperating.
, and at the same time use scribes to govern the world, and we should not always think about opening up borders and expanding territory.
"I just hope that the new emperor will be a kind king and will no longer be as cruel and unkind as today's emperor..."
There's nothing wrong with it. What the scholar said seems to be true.
After all, the war has been going on for so long, and the people don't want another war. They all hope for peace.
Moreover, I had the impression that the governance of the world really depends on those scribes who have read poetry and books, so everyone nodded in agreement, and many people even said with a smile: "My son is studying literature in the school now, so it seems that in the future
There is a good way out!"
But this last sentence stirred up a hornet's nest.
Liu Xuan heard that this young man probably belonged to the group that looked down on him. If he said this to his classmates, it would be nothing, but if he said it to these common people, it would be over - Liu Xuan was very
We value the power of the people and the power of public opinion.
Therefore, whenever the imperial court promulgated an edict that was beneficial to the people, he would remember to publicize it: His Majesty issued such an edict because he cared about the people! This is why the people loved Liu Xuan very much.
Especially in the early years, the people lived extremely hard. How could they live a good life so quickly if it weren't for Liu Xuan? Many people have memorial tablets of today's emperor in their homes, and now most people live in this environment.
For those who have grown up, Liu Xuan has the same status as a saint in their hearts. How can they tolerate others saying bad things?
Therefore, there was almost a murder case in this small shop. The young scholar was scolded all over his body and was slapped in the face several times. When the police finally came, the scholar's entire face was as swollen as a pig's head.
generally.
"Hey!"
Liu Xuan had been watching with cold eyes, listening to the discussions of the people. From a businessman who traveled around, he realized that there seemed to be a lot of young scribes like this recently. Similar things had happened in many places, and some were beaten violently by the people.
After a while, some of them were invited into their homes by some local wealthy families. It is said that some of them were doing well and had gained quite a reputation and were known as celebrities.
"I haven't shown up in the past few years, and some clowns have appeared!"
What this group of people are doing is nothing more than a ‘status!’,
Social status, status in the court, etc. were just like the scribes of the Ming Dynasty later.
Regarding these, Liu Xuan did not comment. The so-called people will be punished if they do not work for themselves. This group of people themselves are just to climb up. It is a good thing to be ambitious, as long as it does not hinder yourself!
If it hinders him, Liu Xuan doesn't mind killing him again.
After walking around for a whole day, Liu Xuan had enough. He took Sun Shangxiang and used some tricks to enter the palace easily. This palace was, to put it bluntly, Liu Xuan's magic weapon. He had many functions that he couldn't use before.
out, but now he doesn't have to worry about that.
After taking the dragon energy in the jade seal passed down for his own use, Liu Xuan finally crossed the threshold and resumed his cultivation as a heavenly being.
Although he had just become an immortal, he had mastered his physical body in this life, and his physical strength was unparalleled. He was able to kill Xinrou smoothly. It was because this was beyond Xinrou's expectations that he could do so easily.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that Xinrou is not an immortal who is good at fighting. At the same time, the things she is best at are completely immune to herself by cultivating the emperor's dragon energy. It can be said that even if Xinrou is much higher than Liu Xuan, she still has a slight chance of winning.
No.
But this is Xinrou. If a few other people come this time, I am afraid Liu Xuan will not be so relaxed! Even if he can really kill the other party, he will be seriously injured, and the price paid will definitely be very high.
If not, Sun Shangxiang will also fall into the opponent's hands - although the resurrected Sun Shangxiang is not a living person, it does not mean that she is invincible. As long as the spell is broken and the power of death in her body is destroyed, she will
He was killed again, with almost no chance of being resurrected.
There is no need to worry now. With Liu Xuan's current strength, even if his cultivation level is not as good as the opponent's, he can at least deal with the opponent for a while, even if he cannot defeat him and save his life.
It was precisely because of this that he did not touch the spaceship left by Xinrou and still let it stay under the sea near Australia.
"If necessary, you can use that spaceship as bait!"
The collision between the Han Dynasty and the Cultivation Empire will happen sooner or later. Instead of passively waiting for the other side to fight, it is better to prepare as early as possible and then strive for the initiative in the war.
When I returned to the palace, I went to see Cai Yan as soon as possible.
As a queen, Cai Yan faced a lot of pressure during this period, especially after Liu Xuan said she was seriously ill and could not go to court. All kinds of pressures came on her, but she resisted them all, and
Stabilizing the interior of the palace from the influence of the court shows that being the queen for so many years was not in vain.
"It's okay. Now that I'm back, I can deal with those clowns!"
There was another bloody storm. During the years when Liu Xuan was in power, a bloodshed incident occurred almost every three to five years. In the eyes of many people, this was simply asking for death. As the king of a country, he would do so from time to time.
Just play the Great Purge. How can the country survive if this continues?
But what makes these extremely foresighted people extremely strange is that with the purges of the Han Dynasty, the foundation of the entire Han Dynasty not only did not shake, but became more and more stable.
Of course, it is not that there are some wealthy families who are wary of the emperor's methods, and are even afraid that it may not happen to them at any time, and unite to boycott the imperial court.
The simplest method is to retrieve his disciples and related people so that they will no longer serve the court and directly cause the court's governance system to collapse.
What they didn't expect was that following their actions, a large number of people filled in directly. They quickly took over those jobs and even did better than the original people.
"Where did this group of people come from? Which families are they disciples from?"
But the results they found made them extremely depressed - these were basically children from poor families, all graduates of various schools run by the imperial court!
