Chapter 1104 1105 [Drawing a blueprint]

Kyoto, the imperial city.

Nearly a month has passed since the Synodic Dynasty. The weather in early August was a bit sultry, but there were several places in the palace that were exceptionally cool. For example, the Chengming Hall where the emperor lived daily and the Imperial Study Room where he summoned important ministers.

, Jingren Palace where Empress Dowager Wu lived, and the bedrooms where several concubines lived.

It turns out that Qinyuan has the art of making ice, and ice cubes are transported to the palace every day for the use of nobles. Moreover, this move was not ordered by Pei Yue, but was the wish of King Liu Yun of Qi.

Since Liu Xian ascended the throne, Liu Yun has recognized the reality and has been an idle prince honestly. In his spare time, he went to Zhulou and Qinyuan. Now he owns 20% of Qinyuan in Kyoto.

Second only to Pei Yue himself, and Pei Yue sent a capable shopkeeper to help him take care of the bamboo house, which added a lot of income, so he could afford to send some ice cubes.

The influence of that rebellion gradually faded away, the vacancies in the court and the army were filled one after another, and the situation became increasingly stable.

Pei Yue was not leisurely during this period. In addition to reorganizing the military strength of the Beiying camp, remotely commanding the exploration of Northern Xinjiang, and counseling the military affairs of the Western Mansion, he also went to Mo Haoli's mansion several times to meet with the four dynasty elders, Luo Ting, and Han Gongduan.

Wait for the important ministers of the East Government to discuss the government affairs in detail.

In the imperial study, Liu Xian put down the memorial in his hand when he saw Pei Yue coming in, and joked: "Can you use the snacks that the queen sent yesterday? I am actually a little envious of you. Those are the snacks that the queen made by herself. Even I am jealous."

It's only thanks to you that I can take a few pieces with me."

Pei Yue lowered his head slightly and said: "The Queen Mother's grace makes me very frightened, so I went to the palace to express my gratitude today."

Liu Xian waved his hand and said: "The Queen Mother said that there is no need to thank you. The left and right are just ordinary things, so there is no need to work hard."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yue bowed in the direction of Jingren Palace and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness."

"I once heard my mother mention that although you are younger, you are more observant of etiquette than many ministers in the court. The late emperor also laughed and said that you are an old master who has not read many books."

Liu Xian stood up and left the royal table, took Pei Yue to the east side hall, pointed to the couch in the north and said, "Sit down and talk."

Pei Yue couldn't help but feel quite emotional.

Once upon a time, it was a great honor for a minister of the court to have a seat in the imperial study. Even if it was just a round stool that was very uncomfortable to sit on, it symbolized the king's trust and respect. Now he not only has a seat, but he can also sit with the emperor.

Sitting on the same couch, it can be seen that Liu Xian's attitude towards him is extraordinary.

No wonder Hou Yu, who was successfully promoted to the Young Supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was extremely respectful every time he saw him, as if he didn't even remember the incident when Pei Yue pinched his neck.

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Pei Yue said calmly: "I really haven't read many books, but I have barely learned some principles over the years."

Liu Xian smiled, and after chatting for a few words, he turned to the topic: "I am going to implement your seven tactics in the border army. I wonder if this is appropriate?"

Pei Yue soon realized the profound meaning of the young emperor's words, nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Liu Xian looked at him steadily, and after waiting for a while, there was still nothing to say. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "What next?"

Pei Yue said: "Your Majesty, the Seven Strategies of Cao Dian are not my original creation. In fact, they are a synthesis of the advantages of the sages' military books of the past dynasties. I just cut out the complex extracts and compiled them into a book. Therefore, both the Beijing camp and the frontier army can learn from it. There is nothing wrong with it. Only

However, what the imperial court needs now is to recuperate and recuperate. Although the silver tribute from the Southern Dynasty can relieve the urgent need, it still cannot act in a hurry."

"I understand this truth." Liu Xian nodded and continued: "However, people without long-term worries must have short-term worries. What I worry about is not the future, but that Xiwu and Southern Zhou will probably not sit back and watch our dynasty go further. You also know,

I am far inferior to the late Emperor, and I have no ability to anticipate the enemy's attacks, so I can only make as many preparations as possible."

Pei Yue looked at the other party with slight surprise and said slowly: "I didn't think so long-term. Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty."

"Come on!" Liu Xian couldn't help but laugh, and then said: "I have asked Chen An and Jing Chu to send more spies to the enemy's territory. If there is any trouble there, our court can respond early."

"It is a coincidence that your Majesty is indeed well versed in the art of using troops." Pei Yue flattered him a little perfunctorily, and said calmly: "Actually, I believe that for the imperial court, the most important thing right now is to improve people's livelihood.

If the people are prosperous, the country will be strong, and if the country is strong, the military will be elite, and there will be great potential for the future. The beams are like the rising sun. Even if dark clouds occasionally cover the sun, no one can stop the scorching sun from rising in the sky."

Liu Xian listened quietly.

Pei Yue continued: "Your Majesty is right. Neither Western Wu nor Southern Zhou will sit back and let the Liang family dominate. Therefore, besides taking close precautions, the most important thing for the imperial court is to implement policies to help the people."

Liu Xian sighed and said: "I still remember that when you publicly sold Qinyuan shares, you once asked me if I knew what it would be like for a person to starve to death. To be honest, I thought of this incident countless times later.

I feel extremely ashamed."

He paused slightly, stared into Pei Yue's eyes and said, "I know you must have a way, can you tell me now?"

Pei Yue nodded and said: "Your Majesty, life is nothing more than birth, old age, illness and death. For ordinary people, birth is a dangerous pass. I checked the files of the transfer department. Although the numbers recorded on it are not accurate, they can probably be determined.

It is judged that every year Daliang

Tens of thousands of young children died in infancy, and more than a thousand mothers died in childbirth. Even if they can cross this threshold, from a toddler to an adult, any illness that an ordinary person gets may bring down the entire family. As for those minor illnesses

Almost everyone survives minor disasters by force."

Liu Xian was silent for a moment, and said awkwardly: "But it takes a long time to train a qualified doctor, and the cost of medicinal materials is very high, so that medical treatment requires a lot of money. How can ordinary people afford it? If the court is asked to bear a

The national treasury simply cannot support the expenses."

Pei Yue understood that it was not easy for him to think of this level. At least he would not be like some foolish kings recorded in the history books of previous lives, asking why his people did not seek treatment from famous doctors.

He said calmly: "Your Majesty, everything is difficult at the beginning, but there is no solution at all."

Liu Xian looked a little excited and said: "Say it quickly."

Pei Yue then turned to look at Hou Yu and said: "If you'd like, Young Inspector Hou, go find my soldiers outside Chengtian Gate and ask them to bring you those few things. Of course, you can first ask the imperial guards and the palace doctors to bring them to you.

Check it out."

Liu Xian shook his head and said: "No need to check, just get it directly."

"My servant obeys the order." Hou Yu did not dare to neglect and left the imperial study room quickly.

Facing Liu Xian's expectant gaze, Pei Yue said calmly: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask a question, why was Daliang stronger than Western Wu and Southern Zhou, and became even more powerful under the late emperor's governance?"

Liu Xian said without hesitation: "This is because the late emperor was diligent in government and loved the people, and he did his best in both civil and military affairs."

Pei Yue smiled slightly and did not try to change his mind. He said slowly: "I agree with your Majesty's view, but I still have some superficial opinions. The reason why Daliang is getting stronger is because our dynasty occupies the richest land."

The heart of the Central Plains has the most vast territory. At the same time, our dynasty has the largest population. On this basis, the court has a greater chance of discovering talents, and the prosperous population can provide the court with sufficient taxes and soldiers.

"

Liu Xian gradually became fascinated as he listened.

Pei Yue continued: "The vast land can support enough people. Among these people are scholars, merchants and craftsmen, elite soldiers and generals, and countless farmers. They either serve as officials in the court, fight abroad, or farm hard."

Or go about the world of business and contribute to His Majesty’s empire from different angles.”

Liu Xian pondered: "Are you trying to say that the more people there are in Daliang, the stronger it will be?"

Pei Yue nodded and said, "That's right."

Liu Xian looked at Pei Yue's clear eyes and asked sincerely: "What should I do?"

Pei Yue raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist, and said word by word: "Set up the Nongsang Prison and change the Imperial Hospital into an Imperial Medical Center!"
