When Liu Yu sent Gao Ahui to Goguryeo to act as a "traitor", he also packed and sent many Central Plains scholars along with him.
These people were all frustrated people from high-ranking families. After being promoted to officials by Liu Yu, they all thought about climbing up.
Now Liu Yu sent them all to the barbaric land of Goguryeo. Not only were these people not disappointed, but they all showed that they wanted to work harder.
Because Liu Yu told them that their attitude towards Goguryeo should be the same as when Jiang Taigong enfeoffed Qi State.
The mission of these officials is to civilize these barbarians in Goguryeo and make them belong to the Han people, just like when Jiang Qi wiped out Dongyi and Laiyi.
After hearing Liu Yu's explanation, Wang Ze became even more worried.
"Your Majesty, after all, Goguryeo is too far away and the roads are inconvenient. Aren't you afraid of some treacherous officials and traitors among them?"
Wang Ze's worries are normal.
Most of Goguryeo's territory is in the old forests of Baishan Mountain, and there are obstacles from Liaodong and grasslands. If the dynasty of the Central Plains wants to actually control it, it will naturally have to spend a lot of effort.
If you are not careful, you may end up raising tigers.
However, Liu Yu had already thought of this problem.
Liu Yu took Wang Ze's little hand and asked her to sit next to him.
"I have already thought about this problem."
"That's why I asked Gao Ahui to replace Yifuli as the leader of Goguryeo."
Wang Ze still didn't understand what Liu Yu meant.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Eulli has no authority anymore, and he is just a waste if he stays there. The big families in Goguryeo are ready to move, and other members of the royal family are also thinking of replacing him."
"Now that our Han troops are behind us, Gao Ahui, a female prostitute, can suppress them and keep them submissive."
"But without the support of the Han army, Gao Ahui would be torn apart by the Goguryeo clan and royal family in an instant, so she didn't dare to have any strange thoughts."
"Besides, even if Gao Ahui has any intentions, the officials I sent will definitely not go with her."
Liu Yu is very confident about this.
Although many of the current Central Plains scholars are arrogant and arrogant, but their inner pride is still very sufficient. There is no reason to follow a foreign woman to rebel.
Do you still want the family's reputation?
Do you still want your face?
The most important thing is that I may not be able to take my own life.
"I'm just afraid that there will be any problems in the future." Wang Ze said again.
Liu Yu naturally understood what she meant.
"When Gao Ahui stabilizes the situation in Goguryeo, I will call her back, and the remaining officials will replace the original Goguryeo royal family to rule."
"If Ah Hui has a child in the future, she will be given the title of Protector of Dongyi in Goguryeo and show her face every few years. The real people in power will be officials sent by me."
"In this case, it won't take long for the reputation of the entire Han Dynasty to be completely replaced."
"Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to turn the current Goguryeo people into vanguards to defend the Han Dynasty in the future and conquer the more barbaric distant barbarians such as Buyeo, Sushen and Yilu in the north?"
Liu Yu said very proudly.
In fact, Liu Yu's method of dealing with Goguryeo was more detailed and complex, not so simple.
First, the prestige of the Goguryeo royal family was slowly eliminated, and then the power of the Goguryeo family was gradually divided.
Through repeated battles, the strong members of the Goguryeo clan were either exhausted or weakened, or they were promoted and moved away from their hometown in Goguryeo.
This method was the method used by the Tang Dynasty to deal with Goguryeo in history. It could be said to be extremely tolerant towards the defeated Goguryeo, but it achieved better results than massacre.
After Wang Ze understood it, he let go of all the worries in his heart.
The main task of the country now is to recuperate and recuperate. It is no longer possible to increase national power through continuous battles. If Goguryeo can be turned into a hawk against Xianbei and Dongyi, that would be great.
"I just don't know if it's worth expending so much effort to run a place further than Liaodong." Wang Ze said softly.
When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Of course it's very worthwhile, or very necessary."
"Very necessary?"
"Yes, this is what we have to do."
"But, didn't His Majesty also say that Goguryeo's soldiers were so small and weak that even Murong Xianbei couldn't defeat it?"
"What I said is correct, but it only applies to the current situation. If we talk about the future, once Goguryeo is left alone, it is very likely to grow again."
Liu Yu was convinced of this.
Not to mention that Goguryeo was a scourge in history. Even after the Eastern Han Dynasty, Goguryeo repeatedly invaded the Han Dynasty's frontier territories. Even if it was taught a lesson by the Han and Wei Dynasties in turn, it would always come back after a short rest.
Although the level of disaster in Goguryeo is far from comparable to that of Hu and Qiang's rebellion, its development trend is getting stronger and stronger.
"What about the distant barbarians such as Sushen and Yilou who are further away? I heard that their savages have nothing except some animal skins and pearls, and they don't even have copper and iron. It's worth going. Conquest for enlightenment?"
Although Wang Ze has never seen barbarians farther than Goguryeo with her own eyes, she has seen a lot of records from books.
These distant barbarians with various names began to pay tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty during the time of Emperor Zhou.
However, the things they paid tribute were all extremely backward things, such as huge moose, ferocious falcons, or wooden sticks used as arrow shafts.
In short, they are all weird and weird things, but not of much value.
"Haha, I want to conquer these distant barbarians, but not just for some tribute."
"Is it for Deze Sifang?" Wang Ze said jokingly.
"Of course there is some such thought, but it is not the main thing."
Liu Yu continued to explain patiently.
"Although the thousands of miles of dense forest there is a bitter and cold place, it contains the best and most fertile black soil."
"Black soil?"
Every spring when offering sacrifices to heaven and earth in the suburbs, the emperor would always use five-color soil as a necessity for sacrifice.
There is this black soil in it.
Wang Ze had always known that there was black land, but he didn't know that it was a barbaric land further north from Goguryeo.
"Yes, it is fertile black land. As long as you reclaim the wasteland and sow seeds, you can wait for a good harvest for a year. It is not like the hard work in the Central Plains."
What Liu Yu said was actually a bit of bragging.
Although the land in the ancient Northeast was fertile, there were two major problems that had to be overcome if we wanted to open up wasteland for farming.
The first one is a completely barren land that must be managed with great efforts in advance before it can be turned into a highly productive land.
The second problem is that although this land is vast and sparsely populated, it has its own owners, namely the local warlike Sushen, Yilou and other tribes.
The Sushen and Yilou tribes were the ancestors of the Bohai and Jurchen tribes that would dominate the Northeast in the future.
Liu Yu's boast was simply to describe the Northeast at this time as a peach blossom land.
With the most fertile and fertile land, there are only some backward barbarians who use fish skins and animal bones. It is simply the perfect place to make achievements.
After Wang Ze heard this, he was immediately tempted.
After seeing Wang Ze's interest, Liu Yu was secretly happy.
His purpose was to make Wang Ze regard these places as excellent territory.
Because now Wang Ze has become the biggest backer of the Taiyuan Wang family in the Central Plains.
Wang Chang, Wang Zan and other state and county generals are all not as effective as Wang Ze, the queen.
In order to bring glory to their family, many descendants of the Wang family in Taiyuan recommended themselves to Wang Chang, Wang Zan and others, hoping to seek official positions.
There were too many people, and in the end they were all sent to Wang Ze.
The king was very embarrassed about the uncles and brothers of these clans. He neither dared to reuse them nor refused them.
Now after Liu Yu said this, Wang Ze immediately had a new idea.
Since Liu Yu wants to make great efforts to govern the Goguryeo area in the future, he will naturally need more people.
Listening to what Liu Yu said, if done well, it would be easy to split the land and seal the territory. Although the land was in the wilderness, it could be regarded as a high-ranking official.
Wang Ze immediately had a solution.
Leave those clan members who are knowledgeable, famous and motivated to stay in Yecheng and develop slowly.
And those clan members who had nothing to do but sought official positions every day were all sent to Goguryeo to educate the barbarians.
Chang'an.
A tall, brand-new gate tower, like a majestic mountain, appeared in front of Nashi Pantuo.
The curly beard on Nashipantuo's face became trembling.
His lips were already trembling with excitement, and he managed to calm down after swallowing hard.
"Na Shi Pan Tuo, come here quickly!"
Suddenly, a shout with a Liangzhou accent made Nashi Pantuo recover from the shock.
Nashipantuo immediately put on the kind smile that Kang people are born with, and walked over with small steps.
"Mr. Zhang of the Zhang family, what are your orders?" Na Shipantuo said with a smile on his face.
A Han man wearing a soft leather robe was already used to his flattery.
He pointed his hand at the stone pantuo and said to a small leader of the Han army on duty at the city gate.
"Master Jun, look at it. He can also speak our Chinese. He is really a Hu merchant from Kang State, not a Jie Hu."
This Liangzhou man named Zhang was explaining patiently.
Upon hearing this, Nashi Pantuo immediately turned his head and gave the Han officer a flattering smile.
"I am a retainer of Prince Tuoye Kang of Kang State and a businessman from Taoyaya Valley. I am not a Jiehu."
As Na Shipantuo spoke, he quietly looked at the towering city gate next to him with his peripheral vision.
The reason why he was shocked just now was not only because of the majesty and tallness of the city gate, but also because of the dozens of curly and rotten human heads hanging on the city gate.
