Now when Zhang Qi was mentioned, Liu Che was not only furious but also deeply fearful.
In fact, he himself may not even realize that he is already filled with fear for the Marquis of Liao.
ten years.
Just ten years.
The territory of the Han Dynasty shrank by nearly half.
Even the Xiongnu Luosao clan, who had oppressed the Liu family for more than seventy years, was annihilated by the entire clan after they rose to power.
Then it only took more than a year to fall into his hands all the six states of the Han Dynasty.
If Chang'an were not guarded by Xiongguan and the danger of the river, I am afraid that even Chang'an would be in danger right now.
Recently, the voices of ministers advising to move the capital have become louder and louder.
They wanted to retreat to Xuchang and use the Xiongguan Tianqian to completely stabilize the situation.
But he didn't want to.
If you take a step back, you will always take a step back.
Chang'an cannot leave.
Leaving is the real doom and gloom.
As the capital of the country for nearly a century, the Liu family's cultivation here is unparalleled anywhere.
The largest number of ordnance of the Han Dynasty was here, and the largest granary was also here.
Soldiers, armor, food, weapons.
No place can compare with Chang'an.
Moreover, there is Tongguan Hangu in the east of Chang'an.
There is Wuguan in the south.
There is a big river in the north.
It is not wrong to say that it is a place of reliance.
Xuchang seems to be safe, but that is the safety of the powerful family members, not necessarily the safety of his Liu family.
Close your eyes.
Liu Che began to make plans in his mind.
Starting from the battle with Zhang Qi, all the battle reports he received showed that the enemy's weapons were so sharp that our weapons were shattered upon contact.
The fundamental reason for this is that the gold for weapon refining lags behind others.
He knew this, so he sent out spies everywhere to steal the weapon refining method.
Academically speaking, the academic thoughts of the Han Dynasty were not shackles. Although each theory wanted to trample other theories under its feet, it was still developing for the better.
Liu Che is also natural. If it can help him, he can learn from it and use it to overcome it.
However, Zhang Qi attached great importance to the method of refining weapons, and his detailed work failed to achieve any results for several years.
Just today, Sang Yang sent him good news.
But this.
There is also a price to pay.
The good news is that Zhang Qi's men are not monolithic. There are also moths among them, or there are people who care more about their own interests.
This is a good thing.
If it can be handled properly, it will undoubtedly suppress Zhang Qi's prestige and make more people under his command ready to take action.
And the bad news is.
How to treat these first batch of people who surrender.
If the benefits are too great, the people below him will have objections, but if the benefits are too little, the people on Zhang Qi's side will see that surrendering is worse than not surrendering, which will make it difficult to implement the strategy of destroying Zhang Qi.
Think for a long time.
Liu Che's voice was a little dry and hoarse.
"One hundred thousand gold is no problem, but the rank of candidate is not!"
"I only give it to the chief concubine! But you can enjoy the food and the city. If you have further achievements, you can be made a marquis! Control the situation!"
Sang Yang was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said.
"Your Majesty, this is the right of the Marquis of Guannei to enjoy the rank of Marquis. Those veterans and dignitaries may be afraid."
Liu Che stretched out his arm to stop what Sang Yang was saying.
"I know that I will make arrangements for those people. The most important thing now is to train an army that can confront Zhang Qi head-on as soon as possible. Only in this way can this country be restored."
"In the past, our great ancestors could tolerate the Huns, and today I can also tolerate the Liaohou. Time, I need time!"
"The Han Dynasty's heritage over the past hundred years is unmatched by Zhang Qi. It only takes two years, and two years later, it will be the time of its destruction!"
"As for now, let me celebrate for a while longer."
At the end of the sentence, Liu Che's eyes once again showed the tyranny he had when he faced the Huns.
He thought clearly, a man can bend and stretch, and only the one who laughs at the end is the real winner!
".only."
Seeing Liu Che's changes before and after, Sang Yang cupped his hands and bowed.
After Sang Yang left.
There was no more sound in the front hall of the huge Weiyang Palace.
The eunuchs and palace attendants were frightened. During this period, countless palace maids and eunuchs were killed with sticks.
Sit upright on a soft cushion.
Liu Che's mood was still surging.
"Next year, the capital will be established"
——
Autumn and winter are gone again, and late spring is coming, and everything is flourishing.
Taiyuan.
The road construction work that had been suspended during the winter started again.
Although the ground was still wet, for the sake of the family's livelihood, the men began to roll up their trousers and began to level the ground and dig roots and gravel.
This road is built from Taiyuan to Yanmen. The good news is that it is a smooth road, but the bad news is that the distance is extremely long.
I can go home less and less.
Fortunately, the officials under the Marquis of Liao sent money and grain back home as scheduled, and the exchange of letters was also free, and there were people who helped with reading and writing.
The changes in my family over the past six months are all vividly visible, and my fearful and uneasy mood has gradually been replaced by trust.
Things are happening in front of us. The behavior of the officials under the Marquis of Liao is very different from that of the officials in the Han Dynasty. Which one is better and which one is worse, everyone has a clear mind.
It’s only been half a month since spring, and most people’s minds have already settled down.
If you work, you will get money and food, and your life will be stable, which is enough.
Knock, knock, knock.
The sound of horse hooves came from far and near, but the people working there did not panic at all.
They knew that the messengers from behind were coming.
It's been half a month, and it's time to send and receive letters from home, and it's also the day to start work.
With hope in my heart, everyone worked harder and harder.
It was early noon.
As usual, they gathered to prepare meals, and each team sat together with their supervisors.
"Cao Tou, mine remains the same."
"Cao Tou, me too."
"."
With a big steamed bun in each hand and a bowl of oily pork offal soup, people in the same team sat on the floor, eating steamed buns and handing their family letters to the supervisor's hand.
Some of these letters home are the wages saved, and some are words of longing.
Although most of their wages are used as food and cloth to send home, there are occasionally additional rewards on the construction site.
Mostly it is the wages earned by working overtime after finishing a day's work.
Working overtime here is a good job that needs to be fought for. It is a job with more wolves and less meat.
Who doesn’t want to earn more, but unfortunately, there is too little time to work overtime.
Eating the same food as his fellow workers, the man known as Cao Tou took the cloth or paper bags they handed him into his arms one by one.
The cloth and paper packages have detailed names and addresses. In the past six months, although many workers on the construction site are still illiterate, almost all of them can write their names and home addresses.
There is no other way. If you don't know how, you have to ask the officials at the construction site for help. Although sending and receiving letters is free, if you ask for help, it doesn't make sense not to give some money.
It's all for yourself. If you don't study in free night schools, you won't learn anything. If you really can't learn, you will ask the night school teachers to help you write down your name and home address, and then memorize it by rote, and you can even write a few words. .
"Okay, I've received it all. I'll go to Yi Chuan to mail it later, and I'll pick up the things you sent from home.
Gou Sheng, Shitou, come with me. "
"Okay, Cao Tou."
"Well, eat quickly and take some time to rest. A batch of building materials will arrive in the afternoon, so there will be no time to delay."
"Don't worry, Cao Tou!"
