Chapter five hundred and forty seventh court discussion

Zhuge Liang here roughly determined everyone's view of Sun Quan's emperor. He could not fight, at least he could not raise trouble or blame him first. Now the national strength of the Han Dynasty is growing more and more powerful than that of the Eastern Wu. But for this reason, the situation in the world is more subtle. At least in the view of the senior leaders of the Han Dynasty, it is still meaningful to unite Wu and resist Cao, but the situation of unity can no longer be regarded as weak against strong, and the anxiety point of the Eastern Wu is also here.

In the past, everyone was miserable, they were farmers and they joined forces to fight against landlords, but now they suddenly became two landlords and one farmer. Although these two landlords are not one, it is easy to fight farmers. In addition to making themselves become landlords as soon as possible, they also have to check and balance the forces of the two families. So at this time, if they are as tough as Sun Quan as they did at the beginning, Sun Quan might be pushed directly into the Cao Wei camp by them.

The general direction is decided, so the next thing will be discussed directly in court. In the end, Liu Chan has to make a decision to establish the prestige of the new monarch. These ministers of the regent must maintain absolute respect for the new monarch, so that other ministers will respect the new monarch.

Liu Chan yawned out. For him, the morning court was set a little early. He sat upright on the throne and greeted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The two generals were not in good condition now. As nephews, Liu Chan was also a little worried. He had just lost his father. If the two fathers' hard-core supporters left at this time, Liu Chan would feel helpless.

Liu Yi, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are still a bit far behind after all.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Yi stepped out and said to Liu Chan: "The funeral of the late emperor has passed. I want to continue to carry out the track setting of Chang'an, Luoyang and the entire Guanzhong, Heluo. I hope your majesty will be right."

Wooden tracks are now a common means of transportation in Shuzhong. Even in Shuzhong, a special law was specially built to protect wooden tracks. If someone among the people dares to demolish wooden tracks privately, become military slaves for two years, and fine them a hundred times. If the culprit cannot be found, the nearby villages will bear the fine and increase 100% of the taxes in the next year.

Military slaves hired different craftsmen from Liu Yi. They have no salary and only care about food and clothing, but they do the most important tasks, such as carrying materials and other things that do not require technology. This is also because many ridiculous things happened when wooden tracks were laid in Shu in the early days, and some people used wooden tracks as firewood.

Although the wooden tracks led by Liu Yi are usually strong, no matter how strong they are, they cannot withstand the chopping of axes. Some people went to dismantle them to save trouble, but they spent most of the day to dismantle them. It would be better to chop firewood directly. You know, some of the wooden tracks are buried underneath, and there are cement around them, so it is not easy to dismantle them.

Coupled with the punishment of the law, the problem has not been very big in recent years.

These are all off-topics. Liu Chan has naturally taken a rail car, so he naturally knows that the rail car is convenient. As for the reconstruction of Erdu, it is half built, so you can't stop. These two cities are very important to the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei's biggest wish in the second half of his life was to be able to return the old capital, not to mention that the city built by Liu Yi was actually comfortable, and Liu Chan naturally would not object to Liu Bei's last words.

"It's better for Sikong to make the decision in this matter. As for the subsequent cost, Sikong can list it, and I will allocate funds as soon as possible." Liu Chan smiled at Liu Yi.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Yi nodded. As for Cao Wei's affairs, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong would have to solve them. With the current national strength of the Han Dynasty, it is not something that the Wei Dynasty could understand. It is better to do his job well, because Liu Bei's affairs have been delayed a lot. Now Liu Yi wants to make up for this period of time as soon as possible.

"Recently, I have heard that Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu was elected as emperor. I wonder what you think?" After Liu Yi joined the train, Liu Chan looked at the ministers and asked.

The information of the Han Dynasty was naturally open to Liu Chan. How could Liu Chan not know about Sun Quan's claim to be emperor? Liu Chan was also a little disgusted with this matter. After all, before that, the Eastern Wu gave Liu Chan the feeling that he was his own vassal state, but now he has become emperor himself, and he feels a little uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty!" Huang Quan stepped forward and bowed, "Although Sun Quan was not in line with the etiquette, the current situation in the world is subtle. If our dynasty pursued this matter, the previous alliance would probably be destroyed, and instead forced Wu and Wei to join forces, which was not conducive to our dynasty. I think I could send someone to congratulate me. After all, when the late emperor ascended the throne, the Lord Wu also sent someone to watch the etiquette and congratulate me. Now that our dynasty cannot move, it is better to take the initiative to win over and stabilize the alliance between Yundong and Wu in our dynasty. As for other matters, it is not too late to say after Cao Wei is destroyed."

Simply put, stabilize the other party first, and destroy Cao Wei. Looking back, there is only one Dongwu left. Don’t you just need to clean up as you want?

"I also know that it is inappropriate to blame Dongwu at this time, but if I let him be the emperor, how can I have the face of my great man?" Liu Chan nodded and frowned.

The face of a great country and the face of a person are different.

"Your Majesty, Sikong had a proposal before." Zhuge Liang smiled and said that Liu Yi had disconnected trade with Jiangdong and expanded new trade: "I think what Sikong said is quite feasible, but due to the situation, he could not repay the Eastern Wu. However, since the Eastern Wu became emperor, there was no need for our dynasty to provide any further support."

Liu Yi added with a smile: "In addition, the price of military-industry transactions that have been reduced by half can be doubled. Previously, the Wu State was just a vassal state and was not equal to our status, so our dynasty would provide some support. But now that Sun Quan has become emperor, it means that he is equal to our dynasty. Since this is the case, our dynasty will no longer need support."

Sanctions are necessary, but money still needs to be earned. The Han Dynasty now needs to carry out construction, and money is a basic need. How much can be extracted from the hands of Dongwu?

Liu Chan nodded, suddenly looked at Liu Yi and smiled, "Sikong is in a hurry to go to Xiliang this time. Does it mean to open this Silk Road?"

"Of course, I want to learn more about the living habits of the Western Regions, the Xiongnu and the Qiang people. If possible, I will transform them into our dynasty. I have a disciple who recently came up with the method of blowing the wind by manpower to set up a style on the railcar to increase the speed of the railcar. If it can be successful, the railcar can travel more than 100 or even 200 miles a day. Even if I go from Chang'an to Dayuan, it will only take more than a month to arrive. After the track is laid in the future, the entire Western Regions can be included in our Han territory and carry out trade to the country of Daxia."

Liu Chan smiled and nodded when he heard this. He was actually dissatisfied with the rail cars today. If they could speed up, the biggest distance problem for the Han people will be much shorter, and they can indeed control a larger territory.

Of course, if one day, after the steamer can be studied, the time it takes to go from here to the Western Regions might be shorter, but Liu Yi would not speak out randomly before the finished product appeared.

"Your Majesty, there is another thing that needs to be reported to Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang stepped out and bowed to Liu Chan and said, "According to the detailed information of our dynasty, the general of the Wei Dynasty, Xu Huang, has already stationed troops in the area of ​​Hanoi, and the Wei troops are gathering in the universe. I am afraid it will be an intention to offend our territory!"

"Oh?" Liu Chan's expression changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "I wonder how many troops he has sent?"

"It has not been discovered yet, but the scale is not small." Zhuge Liang shook his head. Wei Chao was also very strict about anti-reconnaissance matters, and it was not easy to explore these military information.

Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang after hearing this, and said, "But reinforcements are needed?"

"No reinforcements are needed for the time being." Pang Tong stepped out and said to Liu Chan: "There are dangerous places such as Chenggao and Mengjin in Luoyang, and there are 50,000 troops stationed. The general Guanping has a steady march and will not make any mistakes easily. I think what we should consider now is how Cao Wei will attack so that we can respond."

"I don't understand military affairs, and I don't know what good ideas do you have?" Liu Chan said with a frown.

Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "The easiest thing is to attack the east and west. Although Xu Huang is famous, it is because of this. As soon as he moved, we thought that what he led was the main force. However, I thought that compared with the land of Heluo, Nanyang and Jingzhou were better as an offensive point. Cao's army could easily cut off the connection between Heluo and Nanyang. In this way, if our army wants to rush to Jingzhou, we can only go to Sichuan and Shu, but it will take time to send troops from Sichuan and Shu downstream. I suggest that we increase troops first and send another general to take charge. Once Jingzhou changes, Jingzhou does not have to notify Chang'an first but directly ask for help from Sichuan and Shu directly. Then the troops in Shu can arrive in Jiangling and other places within ten days."

Pang Tong smiled and said, "What Bo Yuan said is quite reasonable, but I think that if the Wei army comes to attack, it may be more than just one false or one true."

"Oh?" Liu Chan looked at Pang Tong curiously: "What the right prime minister said is the Huns?"

"It is possible that the Xiongnu, the Western Qiang, the Nanyue, the Jiaozhou Shijia and even the Jiangdong are all possible. If Sun Quan was not supported by Cao Wei, how dare Sun Quan? Your Majesty remembered that when the late emperor was promoted to the emperor, it was because the King of Wu supported the late emperor. Therefore, Cao Cao had no choice but to do anything about this. Now our dynasty does not agree to Sun Quan's emperor, but Sun Quan made such a big announcement to the world. I am afraid that Cao Wei may not be without this."

In this way, besides Cao Wei, there are also Western Qiang, Xiongnu, aristocratic families, Shanyue and even Jiangdong. If this is the case, it means that the Han Dynasty is trapped in a state of being attacked from all sides. Liu Chan was a little panicked and looked at the ministers and said, "If this is true, what should we do?"

"Don't be surprised by Your Majesty. Since the right prime minister has spoken, there must be a way to break it." Zhuge Liang looked at Pang Tong and smiled: "Besides, this should be the worst possibility."
