Yang Gan touched his head, his face was filled with disgrace, and he stopped and said, "It doesn't matter. In fact, it is very simple to destroy the Xiongnu, but this time I planned the entire grassland, the Xiongnu, the Jie clan, and the Yue clan. This time I can To wipe out the three tribes together can be regarded as God’s help.”

"Young Master is too modest."

Yang Gan sneered, "I'm not humble. It's not difficult to kill the three tribes. What's difficult is how to manage the grassland in the future. I'm already planning with my disciples."

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, and said in a loud tone, it was not difficult to kill the three tribes, so why would it be difficult?

Different from the direction above the temple, above the temple, the eyes of the courtiers have always been on the Central Plains countries, but many generals have set their sights on the grasslands.

The main reason is that the Huns invaded the south more frequently than the wars between the princes. Only when there were wars, the generals had military merit.

King Xia Wen nodded, and his son's tone was indeed serious: "Then, what will we do with the Huns in the future? After all, the Huns have a population of millions, and they consume a lot of food and grass in a day."

"I couldn't tell you before, but now, it doesn't matter. I just happen to be thinking about how to deal with them these days."

Yang Gan turned around and asked Krisna to call Xiao Yu over.

After Xiao Yu came over, he sat down in front of everyone's surprised eyes.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Everyone, Xiao Yu is a retainer of General Yang."

"Why is it a woman?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're quite pretty. It's not like the young master has become a promiscuous man again."

Yang Gan smiled and said, "Everyone, do you know that I have only been planning against the Xiongnu this time, but the destruction of the three clans was jointly decided by me and Yu'er. Yu'er is a great talent, but it is a pity that as a daughter, she cannot serve as an official in the court. "

Several people looked at each other, and even though there was a female retainer, they still wanted her to be an official. What kind of truth is this? That is, what the young master said, if ordinary people said it.

There must be an unreasonable and lawless crime.

After Yang Qian communicated with Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Everyone, I see that you are not ordinary businessmen. Since you are friends with my young master, would you like to confess your identity first?"

The expressions of the four people changed one after another. King Xia Wen obviously did not want to admit his son now, because he felt that his son still had a lot of potential that had not been realized. Once he recognized his son, should he take him back or not?

King Xia Wen gave Wang Jian a look, and Wang Jian immediately understood and stood up, cupping his hands and saying, "I am the general under the Taiwei, responsible for purchasing copper and iron. I heard that there is a lot of iron ore here, and I happened to have a friend, so I came over with him." .”

Xiao Yu couldn't help but nodded. This made sense. Their men were standing outside the door. A closer look revealed that they were from the army.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "General, I'm sorry. In fact, in order to deal with tribal issues in the future, we must first understand why the tribes on the grassland came to plunder our Daxia."

King Xia Wen thought about it carefully and said with a smile, "It's very simple. Because the grassland is bitterly cold, as soon as winter comes, countless cattle and sheep freeze to death. In addition, there is no food, so they will come to rob us in Daxia."

"That's right. According to what Young Master said, tribes and other cultures are not prosperous and can even be said to be extremely backward. Then we will use culture to tame them and then let them tame cattle and sheep for us."

"Let them trade goat milk and cattle with us in exchange for food, salt, tea and other daily necessities. If things go on like this, the tribe will lose their ferocity and can only become my vassal, Daxia."

"Some people who perform well and admire Xia culture can be attracted as Xia people. If things go on like this, in a few years, the border will usher in permanent peace."

Qu Xiuwen and the other three looked at such a young lady in surprise.

, couldn’t help but nodded in admiration.

King Xia Wen frowned and said, "How to deal with natural disasters? If too many of their cattle and sheep die, trouble will happen again."

"It has to be said that we need the young master to write a letter to the king, asking the king to agree to our building a city on the grassland. Only building a city can make the plan more perfect."

"Build a city?" King Xia Wen took a breath. This was no small matter. Building a city cost a huge amount of money and food.

"Yes, but this city is not that city. The city we are talking about is mainly for trading, because most of the tribes live in pursuit of water and grass. This kind of city is a place for them to escape the cold and trade."

Yang Gan continued, "There is another even more amazing thing, which is to purchase a large amount of wool, weave the wool into woolen sweaters, and then sell it back to them. The wool will be produced every year without harming the lives of the sheep. The extra woolen sweaters will It can also be sold to all parts of Xia Kingdom and even to various vassal states."

"If these plans are launched together, the tribes will survive, but there will be no war horses or copper and iron to compete with us. Once you want a better life, you can only integrate into our culture. Once you recognize our culture, integrate into Our culture."

"Then the Xiongnu, are they still called Xiongnu? In a few years, more than ten years, there will be only Xia people in the grassland, but no Xiongnu, Jie tribe and Yuezhi tribe."

"Hiss~~~!"

Everyone took a breath, this was really murderous and heart-breaking, it was going to destroy the foundation of the Xiongnu and other three tribes.

"Then, what about those stubborn people? The Huns are wild and untamed after all." Wang Jianqi said.

"All of them were demoted to slaves, and they were asked to dig iron mines, dig coal, build cities, and do all the dirty work for me. Firstly, I have a labor force, and secondly, I don't have to recruit the Guizhou leaders to work, so that the Guizhou leaders can work. Increase food production."

.............

King Xia Wen tried his best to suppress his inner excitement and clenched his hands into fists inside his sleeves.

Wang Jian immediately stood up, bent down and cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I'm convinced. Such a plan is actually yours. It seems that the important ministers in the temple have underestimated you."

Yang Gan smiled and said, "What did they say about me?"

"They said that you kept a female retainer in captivity just for your own protection. They said that you were a dissolute person and had no ambition to make progress. They said that you secretly withheld war horses, grain and fodder to support the soldiers, and intended to rebel."

"Master~~~!" Xiao Yu said worriedly.

Yang Gan waved his hand, "Yu'er, don't worry, the king is very wise and will not believe such words. After all, only a country has a family."

"Sir, I'm afraid that you will offend the scholar-bureaucrat class. After all, you are too kind to the Guizhou leaders." Xiao Yu said a little worried.

"What do you think?" Yang Gan asked towards King Xia Wen and others.

King Xia Wen didn't care and said, "Guizhou leaders have a low status, but it's hard to say anything."

But you can see the deep disdain in his eyes.

Yang Gan shook his head, why are these merchants so stupid?

"Isn't it?" Qu Xiuwen also asked.

Yang Gan said seriously, "I want to ask you, what is the foundation of the country?"

"Of course it's the army. Only when the army is strong can the country be strong." Wang Jian said matter-of-factly.

"General Wang said a lot, but he was only half right."

"Oh? I would like to hear the details." Wang Jian also showed a curious look to see what kind of truth the young master could tell.

"The foundation of the country is the land and the head of Guizhou."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Yang Gan's words stirred up a thousand waves and made the four people extremely conflicted because they were from the scholar-bureaucrat class.

"Why do you say that? If you say this in the temple, wouldn't it make you laugh?"

Yang Qian opened his hands and counted, "A country can only have more arable land if its land is vast. Once the arable land is available, the people in Guizhou need to plant the land, so that we can have food. If the people in Guizhou don't plant the land, what will you eat and drink?" Are you allowed to farm?"

Everyone was stunned, it seemed to make sense.

"So be kind to the leaders of Guizhou. I also know that there are many theories in the vassal states that teach the king how to govern the country, but there is no teaching on how to treat the leaders of Guizhou well."

Wang Jian shook his head and didn't understand, "Why should we treat the leaders of Guizhou well? Once they become rich, they will cause civil strife and even mobilize troops to oppose the temple. Once they cause turmoil in the country, there will be endless troubles."

"Hahahahaha, General Wang, don't worry too much. Once the leaders of Guizhou have food, they will have money, and then the taxes they pay will increase.

"When ordinary people have money, they will enjoy life, have more children, enjoy life, and spend money. Once we spend money, we can collect taxes, so treating Guizhou well will do us no harm. "

Obviously Yang Qian's idea of ​​modernization was not understood by the ancients, that is, the three views were inconsistent. In this era when the people were generally believed to be weak and the country was strong, Yang Qian's words were deviant in the eyes of the scholar-bureaucrats of this era.

However, this does not affect everyone's high interest in talking about it. Zhuguotianxia is nothing more than seeking an effective way to govern the country. It can also be regarded as a test for Yang Qian by King Xia Wen.

My physical condition is not very good, and no one knows how many years I can live. Choosing a successor is not only for my family business, but also for my family's great cause.

"Papa~~!" King Xia Wen clapped his hands.

Two men immediately walked in carrying a wooden barrel, put it down, and quickly went out.

Yang Gan asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Some time ago, a caravan came from the west. These people looked similar to Krisna, but they had different identities. After getting to know each other for a while, I learned that they wandered from the west and got lost."

"What's in this barrel is their specialty called wine. I've tasted it. It's full, unique, and silky smooth. Although it's not as delicious as our Central Plains wine, it's also unique. I brought it to you this time. "

Yang Gan looked at Zhang Yumeng in surprise, and noticed the shock in each other's eyes.

Nah, even the wine is out.

In Yang Qian's eyes, it is not a great thing, but it is very interesting to be transported here. Sending goose feathers thousands of miles away is a light gift but full of affection, let alone wine.

"Boo~~~!"

Zhang Yumeng couldn't help but open the wine barrel, and a burst of wine aroma suddenly filled the air.

"Good wine~~!" Zhang Yumeng's eyes lit up.

Yang Qian rubbed his hands. He was not interested in wine, but after all, it was something he could see in his previous life. Especially during the Chinese New Year, there must be wine. He couldn't help but miss things.

"Thank you. Since we are all friends, let me give you a free piece of news. Some time ago, I wrote to the king that the coal mine will definitely be nationalized in the future."

"The edict hasn't been issued yet. You still have a chance. If you have some spare money, go buy some coal mines. It is estimated that the edict will be issued in the spring."

King Xia Wen and others pretended not to know, and then gratefully thanked Yang Gan.
