Chapter 166: Turning Harm into Benefit

Since the 'overthrow of Xinmang, Guangwu Zhongxing', Luoyang has become the capital of the Han Dynasty, but also the nest of the Liu family, after 12 emperors, more than 200 years of painstaking management, business and travel, prosperous, the most prosperous period, Luoyang's population of more than 500,000, proud of the world, unique!

It's a pity, Dong Zhuo messed up the country, moved the capital, a fire burned half of Luoyang, the people were killed and injured countless, and then the Kwantung coalition army entered the city, called rebellion, in fact, it was a thief, and the robbery was even more ferocious.

Later, Cao Cao rose up in Yanzhou, a generation of traitorous males, full of courage, cultural and martial arts are outstanding, welcome the Son of Heaven, move the capital to Xuchang, fight in the south and the north, sweep away the heroes, a few years later, the crumbling Han Dynasty, finally has a little vitality!

After the court settled down, the civil and military officials wrote many times, suggesting that 'rebuild Luoyang, return the old capital, and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty again', for this proposal, the court repeatedly discussed, and there were many people in favor, but it was very difficult to implement for two reasons: one is an economic problem, and the other is a political problem!

Luoyang City is huge, there are many palaces, the damage is also very serious, want to completely repair it, need to invest a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources ......, some people have carefully estimated, at least two or three hundred thousand labor, more than ten years, the consumption of materials is an astronomical amount!

The princes are fighting for hegemony, the wars are continuous, coupled with the successive natural disasters, the finances of the imperial court are already very difficult, everyone puts all their energy into the battlefield, and grabs the territory with their lives, who is willing to consume a lot of manpower and material resources to repair a ruined capital, the ministers are also powerless, they can only spit, no actual action!

There is also a political problem, Cao Cao took Xuchang as his lair, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, gradually swept away the heroes, and realized the dream of unifying Kyushu, in order to better control the little emperor, the prime minister is also against the issue of repairing the Liu family's lair!

On the contrary, the little emperor was extremely concerned about this matter, in order to get rid of the control of the 'traitorous male', he kept hinting at the ministers, advocating for the restoration of Luoyang, for this matter, the two sides fought countless war of words, and there was still no result!

In other words, if you want to repair Luoyang City, you must first have enough manpower and material resources before you can build a large number of civil engineering projects; Secondly, it is also necessary to get the consent of the Prime Minister's Office, otherwise, things will not work out, and it will cause trouble, and it is difficult to guess the mind of the traitor!

"Chang'an, the western capital, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, are all famous cities in the world, and they are also the fundamental places of the Chinese family, no matter how much they cost, they must be repaired, and they must be managed well, and they cannot leave a ruin for future generations!"

Looking at the map of the Han Dynasty, after repeated consideration, Xiao Yi decided to repair the two capitals, consolidate the country's foundation, and let the people of the world take a look, in addition to killing people and plundering land, he will also build cities for the benefit of future generations!

In the troubled times, building a large number of buildings is a bad thing that costs the people and money, but it has to be planned properly, and bad things can become good things!

This is a great opportunity, the people's livelihood in Guanzhong is weak, it is difficult to digest too many people, and there are 200,000 displaced people who have nowhere to resettle, in this case, why not move to Luoyang, so there are three major benefits"

First, repair Luoyang, the merits are immeasurable, the land of Kyushu is constantly fighting, the vitality of the Han family is greatly injured, it is time to build it well, treat the wounds of the war, and after Luoyang is repaired, it echoes with the east and west of Chang'an, and can better rule the Central Plains!

Secondly, the relocation of the population and the resettlement of displaced people, Luoyang is a wide area, with vertical and horizontal rivers and fertile land, which is completely capable of rehousing two or three hundred thousand people, so that these people can settle down, reclaim wasteland, and pay taxes, which is beneficial to the country and the people!

Finally, it is winter, there is still a period of time before spring ploughing, and hundreds of thousands of displaced people have to eat, rather than waiting in vain, it is better to organize them, repair the city, and work for relief, which is not a waste of manpower!

The economic problem is solved, and the next step is the political problem, which is even more tricky, and if you are not careful, it may lead to a political conflict, that is, to balance the forces of all parties, and to solve the problem, which requires an extremely high skill......

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi took out his pen and ink and wrote a book to Cao Cao, first explaining the process of his trip to Hebei and the fruitful results achieved, and then mentioning the issue of 'resettlement of displaced people', as well as the pros and cons of 'repairing Luoyang', and the last sentence is the finishing touch - 'Sit in Xuchang, dominate one side, set the capital Luoyang, and command the world!' ’

Xuchang is good, limited by the terrain, the courage is slightly insufficient, one side can be divided, the governance of the world is insufficient, if you want to really command Kyushu, you must move the capital to Luoyang, Chang'an, occupy the place of beauty, the former to the Cao family as the land of Longxing, as for the latter, Xiao Yi is ready to leave it to his children and grandchildren!

After the letter was written, it was sealed with wax and sent to Xuchang - Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Yi believed that with Cao Cao's political wisdom, he would definitely understand how to choose, the city is dead, the people's hearts are alive, and the old nest of the Liu family in the past, as long as it is managed with heart, it can not be used by the Cao family!

The plan has been made, but it is very difficult to act, not to mention the repair of Luoyang City, it is very troublesome to resettle the displaced people, and the hundreds of thousands of displaced people who have been coerced here, most of them want to live and work in peace and contentment, but there are some people who are used to licking blood from the knife edge, and it is difficult to adapt to the peaceful life, causing many incidents......

On 23 February, a group of displaced people plundered villages and towns, killing three people, injuring more than 10 people, robbing dozens of cattle and sheep, and more than 100 yuan of winter rations......

On 24 February, a group of homeless people broke into their homes at night, ravaged several women, injured more than 10 innocent people, and set fire to their houses......

On 25 February, another homeless people plundered villages and towns, and the indigenous people rose up to resist, gathering thousands of people on both sides and fighting with weapons for half a day, killing and wounding hundreds of people, and the people's anger was inflamed......

………………………………………………………………………………

"Murder and arson, looting ****, it's really a thief who can't change, it's no wonder, I'm used to holding knives and guns, and I can't hold a hoe anymore!"

Looking at the official documents sent from all over the place, Xiao Yi looked up to the sky and sighed, his brows furrowed tightly, the people who lick blood with knives all the year round have a somewhat distorted psychology, irritable, bloodthirsty and aggressive...... Therefore, those veterans who have returned to their hometowns often have self-harm and suicide, which is called 'war sequelae', there is no cure, and they will never die!

Don't talk about others, Xiao Yi has this problem, he is recognized as the 'god of killing' in the world, if you kill too much, you will become addicted, in order not to become a murderer, he will play with little Lori all day long, that is, to use the innocence of children to suppress the desire to kill in his heart!

Hundreds of thousands of displaced people, the members are extremely complex, there are not a few bandits and bandits, if you want them to live in peace, how easy is it to talk about it, staying in the people is a hidden danger, let it go regardless of the disaster, it really can't be done, only kill them all!

"Poisonous snakes devour hands, strong men break their wrists, and if there are any troublemakers in the future, they will all be shown to the public, and it is a big deal to kill tens of thousands of people, see who dares to be disobedient?"

Xiao Yi always has a strong iron-blooded style when dealing with things, and just when he made up his mind to get rid of these 'black sheep', things took a turn for the better...... The emissary of the Western Army has returned!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"The last general visited the great Sima, after the army set out, along the way even the battle and victory, the triumphant song was sung, and the last general was sent back to report the victory, and there were spoils to send:

The messenger who came back was Pound, who was also the first fierce general under the command of Ma, wearing iron armor, wearing a flaming helmet, covered with wind and frost, holding a list in his hand, and reading it out loud!

Golden sand, silver ingots, jade, cat's eye, pearls, ivory, rhino horn...... A total of more than 200 cars were handed over to the imperial court; 2,000 beautiful orchids, and sent them to the soldiers of all departments to enjoy...... Dawan's specialty - 30 horses of sweat and blood, all of which are thousands of miles of good horses, sent to General Shenweitian, a little bit of heart! ”

"Haha! …… Meng Qi is not a world-famous general, he has traveled thousands of miles to promote the Western Regions, and the foreign races he has beaten have greatly increased the prestige of the Han family! ”

After listening to the military report, Xiao Yi couldn't help but applaud it, it turned out that Ma Tongjun Xizheng broke the Western Regions Alliance Army under the Green Ridge, beheaded 40,000, captured 60,000 alive, and captured countless trophies!

In most of the half a year, the 36 countries in the Western Regions, Ma has conquered 12 countries, and now he is stationed in Loulan, recuperating, and when the weather warms up, he will continue to conquer the rest of the countries!

This time, Pang De was sent back, firstly, to present a large number of trophies to the imperial court, as well as the geographical atlas of the countries in the Western Regions, which was officially included in the territory of the Han Dynasty!

Second, it is also for reinforcements, although the Western Expeditionary Army has won a great victory, its own losses are not small, foreign lands, materials can be looted, but the source of troops is extremely difficult to replenish, one dies, there is one less, I hope the imperial court can allocate some men and horses to enhance the strength of the expeditionary force!

"The expedition of the army needs backup, General Pang, don't worry, within a month, I will definitely prepare a tiger and wolf army for you!"

Xiao Yat is very intelligent, and immediately thought of a way to 'turn harm into benefit', which can not only raise reinforcements, but also solve the problem of resettlement!

There are a large number of bandits and grass bandits among the displaced people, they can no longer live a peaceful life, and if they continue to stay in the Guanzhong area, they will only harm the people of Limin, and they will not end well!

In this case, it is better to gather them, equip them with excellent equipment, send them to support Ma's western expeditionary army, use their strengths, and go to the land of the foreign race, killing, arsoning, and pl......undering to their heart's content, so as to fulfill themselves and serve the country, killing both birds with one stone!

"If you want to be promoted, go to the Western Regions, there are gold and silver treasures that are ......"

"If you want three wives and four concubines, go to the Western Regions, beautiful girls have ......"

"Do you want to glorify your ancestors, or go to the Western Regions, expand your territory, and immediately seal the marquis......"

…………………………………………

In order to boost morale, Xiao Yi sent a large number of envoys, carrying captured booty, to travel all over the Guanzhong region to preach the benefits of the western expedition and the benefits of the harvest......

The gold is yellow, the eyes are black, seeing the gold, silver and jewelry sent back by the Western Expeditionary Army, the beautiful orchid, the Guanzhong area immediately caused a sensation, those thieves who did not change their nature, bandits, swordsmen, have come to join the army, want to go to the Western Regions to get a handful, in just half a month, tens of thousands of horses have gathered!

It is the robbers who slaughter the people of their own tribe, and the heroes who slaughter the aliens, these tiger and wolf gangsters are finally useful!
