While Liu Yu was laughing, he thought to himself that in the era before he time traveled, he had never been to that three-thousand-mile-long peninsula country, but the kimchi of this country was famous all over the world along with its bragging characteristics. , but I have never done much research on food customs. Even when I traveled to this world, I realized that noodles were still a new thing in this era, and their name was Shuiyin. As for what to eat in this land of Goguryeo, it was really I do not know.
Liu Jingxuan said angrily: "Don't think about it, I stayed on the ship of these Goguryeo people for more than a month. I had to eat their food every day, either rice balls or kimchi, especially this kind of kimchi, grandma's. It's all pickled in an old jar. It's spicy and sour. I eat it every day until I vomit. Grandma's. As soon as I arrived at Xiaguan Port outside Jiankang City, I didn't want to stay for a moment longer. I ran directly to the shore. You thought I was just looking for it. You are here to report on the military situation, but do you know how much I miss the delicacies of our hometown, especially stinky tofu and osmanthus and lotus seed porridge."
Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Since when did you become fat and have such high requirements for food, is kimchi so unpalatable? It's freezing cold and it's difficult to produce crops. Finally, some vegetables have to be pickled. We will eat it later. This is not the same as the nomads on the grassland. The dried meat must be pickled and eaten later. It cannot be wasted."
Liu Jingxuan curled up his lips: "But the pickling is too unpalatable, and I heard that these pickled kimchi must be stepped on with your feet before being put into the jar. Grandma's, I will smell it when I eat it. It smells like stinky feet, it’s really..."
At this point, he finally couldn't help it any longer and ran directly to the door. Facing the steps on one side, he vomited violently. A smell of stomach acid mixed with pickles rushed straight into Liu Yu's nose, which was more than ten steps away. If you smell it carefully, you can see that it really smells like stinky feet.
Liu Jingxuan vomited for a while, then wiped his mouth, came back, looked at Liu Yu, and said angrily: "Jinnu, can we stop talking about kimchi?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Okay, let's not talk about kimchi. In fact, the land of Goguryeo is barren, the climate is cold, and the living conditions are indeed very difficult. It is no wonder that during the Western Han Dynasty, it was not easy to capture the four counties of Korea, but it was no regret to give up in the end. Such a comparison Come down, our Central Plains is really a world of flowers and great scenery."
Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth and said: "So they are just like those barbarians. They also dream of moving into the Central Plains and carving out a piece of their own territory. What is different from those barbarians is that they know how to farm and will not leave once they come. , so we must be more vigilant against them and not give Goguryeo this opportunity. By the way, what do they want from the population of the Central Plains?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "Those places are sparsely populated, and many wars are fought to rob people. However, the scholars in the Central Plains know books and respond to rituals, have knowledge, and can record. There are even some skilled craftsmen who can make various inventions to improve production efficiency there. Naturally, I want it. The ginseng, medicinal materials, and even the horses produced there don't require any technical content. They can be used to replace people, but I can't ask for it."
Liu Jingxuan said seriously: "Yes, so I would rather give them more money, food and weapons than give them population. Otherwise, once the population of such a warlike country increases, the number of troops will increase, which will only further stimulate their expansion." fight."
Liu Yu nodded: "This is the reason why I didn't give them prisoners of Yan after discussing with the fat man at that time. But this time, maybe things have changed. I just promised to send scholars to Goguryeo to preach and teach. That's it." consideration.”
Liu Jingxuan curled up his lips: "Why, do you still want to send Confucian scholars to Goguryeo to teach the people there benevolence, justice, loyalty and filial piety, asking them to put down the idea of military expansion and educate them from now on?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This is only for one reason. On the other hand, the scholars and officials who surrendered to the demon thieves must also be dealt with."
Liu Jingxuan's expression changed slightly: "How do you plan to deal with these demon thieves?"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Liu Yu's eyes: "In the past, I did imagine human nature too beautifully, and always hoped that I could use benevolence and righteousness to influence the enemy, but now I realize more and more deeply that if there is only kindness and no power, it is I can't suppress the bad guys, or prevent some potential rebellions. Once people think that I am incompetent and incapable of governing the country, no matter how much I rebel, I will be forgiven, then they will rebel without restraint. So this time, for the monster thieves, I am prepared to kill all Celestial Master Dao disciples above Senior Brother, including their family members."
Liu Jingxuan frowned: "My dear, Jinu, you are so cruel. Even in Guanggu, you were not so cruel when you killed the entire Murong clan."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "I also killed more than 3,000 members of the Murong clan in Guanggu, and my heart has become hardened. Most of the disciples of these monster thieves who are senior brothers or above are old thieves from Sanwu. These people are hopeless." , instead of letting them go for the sake of temporary hypocrisy, if they start another rebellion in the future, more people will die."
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "I understand what you mean, and I support your decision. In addition to these old thieves, how are you going to deal with other people?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "Ordinary disciples and soldiers of the middle and lower classes will be pardoned without asking. However, after they return to their hometowns, they will be somewhat implicated and discriminated against. If they want to be truly like other people, they have to find a way. If you join the army or serve the country, there is nothing you can do about it. You cannot say that you are rebelling and causing trouble, and you are just like someone who has nothing to do with you. I do not hold them accountable and do not use torture on them. I am already being lenient."
Liu Jingxuan laughed: "After destroying Nan Yan, you are really different. I have told you before that you can't be too soft-handed in running a country and an army. You can treat your brothers and the people with kindness and righteousness. Not for those treacherous villains. Those who deserve to be killed must be killed, and those who deserve to be cured must be cured. So, are you planning to exile some people to Goguryeo?"
A cold light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes: "Yes, this time the demon thieves caused chaos, there are also some officials and scholars who took the initiative to seek refuge with the demon thieves, and even worked very hard for them. For such people, I am going to find someone He was exiled to Goguryeo, firstly to punish his crimes, and secondly, to avoid some troubles later. He wanted to save his life, or in other words, he wanted to keep his status as a scholar, so that he could come back in the future, so that his descendants would have the opportunity to become officials. , then go eat kimchi.”
