After so many years of re-education from the feudal dregs, Liu Yu has long lost his coquettishness and reserve.
The emperor of an empire cannot just have one or two sons.
The best are like King Wen of Zhou, who gave birth to a hundred sons.
Then they were all enfeoffed, turning the surrounding barbarian lands into kingly lands.
The daughters of good families that Liu Yu has recently brought into the harem are not only the daughters of Xunsong of Yingchuan, but also Xi Xuan, the daughter of Xi Jian, and Princess Qinghe of the former Jin Dynasty.
Now that the general situation of the world is under Liu Yu's control, Sima Rui and others no longer care about the so-called reputation of the Jin Dynasty, and Liu Yu will naturally not pay attention to it anymore.
It's just that Xi Xuan in history was a famous talented woman. She later married the famous Wang Youjun and gave birth to children including Wang Xianzhi.
Now that Liu Yu has cut off his beard, I wonder if Wang Youjun will give birth to a son who is a calligrapher.
"My daughter, Thirteen, has not liked writing since she was a child. She prefers bows and horses for fear of offending His Majesty."
Xun Song said cautiously.
It's not that he meant to shirk his words.
But it is what it is.
His daughter Xun Guan was fond of bowing, horse riding, and shooting since she was a child, and her skills were as strong as those of a man.
"These are not problems. I will personally teach you how to behave in the palace in the future."
Liu Yu said very calmly.
He had seen Xun Guan's skill a long time ago. He was able to rush out to ask for help when surrounded by enemy troops. He was definitely better than ordinary men.
However, this can only be a plus for him, not a minus.
Under such circumstances, Xun Song could only agree happily.
In the next half month, Xun Song began to send letters to his old relatives and friends.
Because Xun Song was going to serve as the governor of Yizhou, the governor of Yizhou's military, the captain of the Qiang guard in the west, and the general in the west, he needed to open a government, so he naturally needed a lot of officials and staff.
All of a sudden, the entire Yingchuan County gentry disciples became excited.
When the Xun family in Yingchuan opened a government office, they naturally used many of their fellow villagers.
Especially in today's Han Dynasty, the selection of military officials is rarely directly awarded to noble officials. Being able to serve as a subordinate of a feudal official is definitely the best channel for promotion.
Once there were official positions available, the originally sick Yingchuan nobles suddenly became loyal supporters of the Han Dynasty.
When Xun Song and his team officially rushed to Yizhou to take office, it was almost two months later.
By this time, the cold wind had begun to howl.
This year is about to pass again.
In the slightly cold palace, Liu Yu looked at the ministers sitting in the audience, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart.
As the days pass by, the country in my hands becomes less solid.
If he accidentally burps, I don't know how many people in the audience can help his young prince.
"...The emperor's decree is yours!"
Suddenly, a final sound reached Liu Yu's ears.
Liu Yu looked calmly and saw that it was Shangshu Lang who had just read out the edict.
The edict just read out was Liu Yu's official order to separate Liangzhou, Xiazhou and Northern Jingzhou.
Liangzhou is the Hanzhong area and is the throat of Xichuan in Guanzhong, so it should be taken seriously.
Xiazhou is located in the meandering area of Yinshan Mountain. As an area suitable for agricultural cultivation, it is natural to set up prefectures and counties to enrich the place with Han people and further encroach on the territory of Qiang Hu.
As for Northern Jingzhou, they are the counties in the northern part of Jingzhou occupied by the Han army. They all occupy very little territory, but they have different meanings.
"Your Majesty, Liangzhou and Xiazhou are both important throats, but Northern Jingzhou is only a handful of counties. If we set up another state, I'm afraid it will cost more money and food."
Liu Yu had just asked everyone if they had any objections, and someone immediately spoke up.
Today's small court meeting consists of the most important officials.
Some words can be said freely regardless of whether they are appropriate or not.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Jingzhou is the foundation of Wang Dun's confidants. If a Northern Jingzhou is established, it may cause Wang Dun to behave strangely, which will not be conducive to Wang Dun's eastward efforts to build a prosperous future."
Another objection was raised.
According to the latest intelligence, the Jin Dynasty's general Wang Dun once again clashed with Emperor Sima Rui.
The reason for the conflict was that Wang Dun once again forced Emperor Sima Rui to depose Crown Prince Sima Shao.
However, Sima Rui had the support of Director Wang and others, but he refused to depose the young and powerful crown prince Sima Shao.
Wang Dun made a big propaganda in Jingzhou, saying that there were treacherous ministers who were harming the country, and he wanted to send troops to Jiankang to kill the treacherous ministers.
"This is exactly my purpose."
Liu Yu said slowly.
"Your Majesty, shouldn't Wang Dun be allowed to send troops to the east? It would be great to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight." Gongsun Sheng said with some doubts.
"Now Wang Dun occupies Jiangzhou, Jingzhou, and Sima Rui and others occupy Yangzhou, Jiangdong. Although Wang Dun has the advantage, they are still equally matched."
"If Wang Dun makes another large-scale advance eastward, I'm afraid Sima Rui will be completely doomed."
"Your Majesty, wouldn't that be better?"
"No! Not good."
"Why is it bad?"
Not only Gongsun Sheng, but also the other officials such as Xun Sui and Hua Xiu were a little puzzled.
As the only goal today, wouldn't the more chaotic the Jiangdong Jin Dynasty be, the better?
Why did Liu Yu try to find a way to prevent the military disaster that seemed to be happening to Wang Dun?
"Because no more people can die, if the Jiangdong Jin Dynasty is beaten by Wang Dun again, I'm afraid the Sima family's Jiangdong will become the Langya Wang family's Jiangdong."
Liu Yu smiled softly and then continued.
"Wang Dun's talents are superior to Sima Rui's, and Wang's nephews in Quelangya have many sons and nephews, and they are all outstanding talents, but Sima Rui, a polished emperor, has a solid foundation."
"If Jiangdong becomes the domain of the Langya Wang family, it will be a huge threat."
"Moreover, the taxes on the Jianghuai market are getting higher and higher now. If there is another war in Jiangdong, it will greatly affect the commercial taxes."
"Without the commercial taxes from the Jianghuai Foraging Market, there will be a big gap in the supply of Dongping Prefecture and Liaodong."
Liu Yu has no plans to annex Jiangdong for the time being, but he does not want to see Jiangdong become monolithic.
Although Wang Dun may not be able to achieve monolithic status, it is better to be safer.
When everyone heard this, they realized what Liu Yu's purpose was.
No one would disagree anymore.
In any case, it would be perfect to set up a Northern Jingzhou to balance the internal strife in Jiangdong.
"Your Majesty, yesterday the governor of Xuzhou, Dong Ping, submitted a petition requesting the opening of ten new markets to supply trade with the south. Your Majesty, please make your decision."
Xun Sui reported to Liu Yu.
"Open ten more sales pitches?"
When Liu Yu heard this, he couldn't help being surprised by Dong Ping's generosity.
The shopping malls on both sides of the Huai River can be said to be the centralized supply points for business travelers from the north to the south.
Today there are only five, distributed along nearly 500 miles of coast.
Dong Ping requested to add ten more forums, which would obviously bring huge benefits.
"Business travel from the north to the south is becoming more and more prosperous. It's not a bad thing to have ten more sales places. What do you think, sir?"
Liu asked after thinking about it.
"Your Majesty, Huai River is an important border area. There are many merchants in the forecourts. It is already a mixed bag of clouds and dragons, and it is difficult to distinguish the treacherous ones. If there are ten more forecourts, wouldn't there be ten loopholes in case there are thieves? "
Gongsun Sheng said with a frown.
"The market tax is generous. If we add ten more, we can still make huge profits. A few thieves should not be a big deal."
Liu Yu is now vigorously promoting recuperation and recuperation, and is trying every means to reduce and reduce farmers' taxes.
To support the soldiers in foreign wars, they can only find ways to collect business taxes.
Fortunately, the nobles and nobles in Jiangdong don't care much about this.
For them, as long as they can continue to trade, it is within the scope of their willingness.
"With the addition of ten shopping malls, with the small population of Jiangdong, can they digest so much goods?"
Hua Xiu on the side suddenly felt a little puzzled.
As a senior official in charge of Duzhi, Hua Xiu has some understanding of Jiangdong's wealth and strength.
"Every month, a large amount of porcelain, colored glaze, silk and other goods are transferred to the south. Can Jiangdong alone support ten more markets?"
You know, when the northern nobles moved to the south, most of them were so poor that they were almost unable to open the pot.
How could it be possible to possess such strength in just a few years?
In fact, Liu Yu was also puzzled about this issue.
After all, the goods in these sales markets are all valuables.
"I'm also confused about this matter and can't figure it out."
However, Liu Yu didn't bother to think too much about this issue.
"Whether Jiangdong's monarchs and ministers are prodigals who buy and use indiscriminately, or Jiangdong is inspired by monsters and is willing to buy goods that cannot be eaten or drunk, I will not refuse anyone who comes."
Liu Yu said loudly.
Just when Liu Yujun and his ministers couldn't figure out the reason why Jiangdong Business Traveler's appetite was getting bigger and bigger.
Sima Rui, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty who was far away in Jiangdong, got rid of the haze of not seeing him for many days and was in a good mood.
Even the maids and chamberlains in the palace feel that life is getting better day by day.
"Father, I have just received the news that the Lord of Han in the north has agreed to open ten more hunting grounds."
"Really?"
"Absolutely true!"
Sima Rui suddenly smiled widely.
"Great, in this case, our business profits will be even greater." Crown Prince Sima Shao was also very happy.
"If we can open ten more sales sites, we will have more and more goods in hand."
"As long as there are enough goods in hand, there will be enough money and food to replenish the army."
"Yes, as long as these goods are in our hands, they can go directly to Hepu County along the sea route. As long as they go offshore from Hepu County, it will be ten times the profit."
"In just two or three years, you and I can get back on our feet!"
Sima Rui's face was rosy as he thought about the future.
In the future, as long as he regains his strong troops and horses, and then annihilates Wang Dun who is riding on his head, it will be easy to capture him.
Turn to a real name in history.
Xi Xuan, courtesy name Zifang, her birth and death dates are unknown. She was born in Jinxiang, Gaoping, now in Shandong Province. She was the daughter of Xi Jian, the sister of Xi Min and Xi Tan, and the wife of Wang Xizhi. 1
