Chapter 1157 Transfer

   "There is news from the Jiuyuan Governor's Mansion that Wuyuan County's iron-making workshop plans to cut down forests in Yinshan Mountain and burn charcoal to make iron."

  Secretary Zhang took the official document from the Dudu Mansion and handed it to Feng Duhu.

   "Oh, finally enlightened?" Feng Duhu took it, glanced at it, and threw it on the table again.

   "It's been a whole year behind Pingcheng, and coke has been used a lot. Now I remember that it is still possible to use charcoal to make iron?"

  Madam You cast a reproachful glance at Feng Duhu:

   "What weird words are you talking about? Anyway, you decided this matter. If you don't remind them earlier, you still have the mood to say sarcastic remarks."

  Feng Duhu sneered and laughed:

   "How many years has it been? Do you expect me to take them with you forever?"

  To be honest, with Feng Duhu's current reputation and status, even if he retires immediately, he can stay at home with peace of mind.

  The credit and accumulated capital in the first half of his life are enough for him to lie down and eat for a lifetime.

   Not to mention that now his focus is on Ji Han's military and political aspects.

  For him, the white glove of Xinghan Club has been kept for so many years, and it is the right time to use it.

   Instead of him having to worry about teaching them how to do things.

   Madam You heard the words, laughed and said:

   "Although this is true, it is indeed as A Lang said. Over the years, the big man has been using coke to make iron, and he is used to it."

   "Suddenly there is no coal, and the lights are dark for a while. It is understandable to patronize looking for coal and not think about cutting wood to burn charcoal and iron."

   As he spoke, he paused for a moment, then looked at Feng Duhu again:

   "Besides, after all these years of Xinghan Club, who doesn't know that President Feng has never missed it?"

   "Since you have asked people to look for coal there, no one doubts that there will be coal mines there. Who knows that after searching for so long, they still can't find it."

   It cannot be said that they have not been found, but one or two small coal mines have been found, but the quality of the coal is not very good.

   It is enough for the local soldiers and civilians to boil water for heating, but it is not enough for iron smelting.

   "And the forests on the frontier have always served as a barrier. They didn't get permission, so naturally they didn't dare to cut down at will."

   Don't think that the ancients didn't have the awareness of afforestation.

  In fact, according to historical data, since the Zhou Dynasty, there have been records of "Suiren" and "Fengren".

  “Suiren” is the executor of border forest construction, and “Fengren” also has the responsibility of establishing and managing border forests.

  During the Warring States period, "Xunzi Jianguo" recorded that there was a "fortress of pines and cypresses" in the border forest between Qin and Zhao during the Warring States period.

  After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he built the Great Wall for the safety of the northern border.

  At the same time, elm trees are being planted along the Great Wall to form a green Great Wall, which is the first border defense forest in the history of our country.

  "Han Shu·Han Anguo Biography" says:

   "Meng Tian invaded Hu for the Qin Dynasty and opened up thousands of miles of land. He used the river as his foundation, piled stones as his city, and elm trees as a fortress. The Xiongnu dared not drink horses from the river."

  After the great Han conquered the world, they restored this border forest many times. It was called "Yuxi Fortress" in history, also known as Yulin Fortress.

  "Historical Records Biography of General Wei":

(Wei Qing) Then he westwardly set the land of Henan, according to the old fortress of Yuxi, Jueziling, Liangbeihe, discussing puni, breaking the talisman, beheading the light and sharp soldiers, arresting and ambush listeners 3,071 levels. Ugly, there are more than a million horses, cattle and sheep.

   (The Hetao area was called Henan in the Qin and Han Dynasties)

  The forest is called Sai, which shows that the status of this border forest was comparable to that of the Great Wall in the eyes of the Han Dynasty.

  Although the main purpose of Yulin Sai is to prevent the Hu people from riding southward at will.

  However, objectively, it also plays an important role in preventing wind, fixing sand and maintaining water and soil in Hetao and Northwest China.

  It is related to frontier defense, and at the same time, I have been well aware of the protective effect of trees on cultivated land over the years.

  Especially in the Henan land with little rainfall, the amount of food produced by the arable land determines the stability of the border army and the people.

  Wuyuan County’s Ironworks did not dare to think about cutting wood and burning charcoal in the first place, which makes sense.

   It is precisely because the forests in Henan are related to national defense that Feng Duhu has never said a word about the fuel for the iron workshop in Wuyuan County.

   Otherwise, in his capacity, he would take the initiative to speak out about cutting wood and burning charcoal, and if he couldn't say it, he would be sprayed to death.

  Even if you don’t get sprayed to death, if you can’t say it behind your back, you will be said to be ungrateful for profit, disregarding the country’s borders for self-interest, and so on.

   Fortunately, Liu Liang and Xu Xun did things safely this time.

  And the official documents were sent over, as well as Li Xu's logging plan.

  In it, the rotation of forest trees in Henan is planned in detail.

   If there is no planning document, then this official document is waste paper.

   But with this planning document, it is hard to say whether there will be any objections, but at least it is worth discussing.

  Although Li Xu is a female stream, but in the field of agriculture, her influence is not small.

  The terraced fields in Nanzhong, the double-cropping rice in Sichuan, the bean in Longyou, the rotation of alfalfa and grain in Liangzhou, and the reclamation of Henan, all of which have her figure.

  Although there is an invisible big hand pushing these things, it still depends on her to put the theory into practice.

  Of course, Li Tong, who has been running around with her without complaint or regret, also has some credit.

   Now some people have begun to call Mrs. Li Xu "Master Xu".

  The so-called everyone refers to women who made outstanding contributions in a certain aspect in the Han Dynasty.

  To show respect, the world calls it "Master So-and-so".

   "Where is Shangshutai? What's that saying?"

   Feng Duhu asked.

   "What can Shang Shutai say? Isn't this turning around to ask for your opinion?"

  Madam You curled her lips a little, "Maybe they don't understand this plan at all."

   Feng Duhu smiled:

   "It's possible that you can't fully understand it, but to say that people don't understand it at all is to underestimate them."

  Jiang Gongyan is an upright gentleman, magnanimous and generous, but he doesn't like to compete with others for power.

   When you don't understand something, you can't grasp things, you will not draw conclusions easily, but ask actively.

   I don’t feel ashamed because I feel that asking others is timid.

  The prime minister's appointment of him as Shangshu Ling may not have taken a fancy to him.

   "That's true. After all, it's about the frontier fortress. Maybe Jiang Gongyan wants to ask you for a guarantee."

  Madam You nodded and agreed.

  Feng Duhu glanced at her, but didn't say anything.

   People who play politics have a heart, Feng Duhu naturally understands.

  Of course, what Mrs. You said is not impossible.

   Over the years, Xinghan Club has built many workshops in various places, and also opened up pastures and farms.

  The tax paid every year is not a small sum.

  Otherwise, where would Adolf get the confidence to reduce taxes?

  The significance of the iron workshop in Wuyuan County, Bingzhou is that it will not only supply ironware for the military and civilians of Bingzhou in the future, but also have the meaning of consolidating the frontier fortress and educating the barbarians.

  Especially to educate the barbarians, it is not a verbal education, but a real education.

   Don't you see how much support the Di people in Yinping, the capital of Wudu, the barbarians in Brazil County, and the Qiang people in Liangzhou now support the big man?

  So between the workshop and the forests in Henan, it is a question of choice.

   "Guarantee, let's guarantee. Now the barbarians in the desert are not a threat. The workshop only thinks that there are not enough manpower. How can you think that barbarians can't come?"

   Feng Duhu didn't care.

   After all, it is related to Xinghanhui, and it is still necessary to take responsibility for what should be done.

  And looking at the entire Three Kingdoms era, the surrounding Hu Yi are not a big problem.

   They are all tools for the achievements of various countries.

   On the contrary, after the reunification of Sima Jin, the tool man turned into the master, which can be described as strange.

   "But it's better to set a rule. In addition to replanting, you also need to set the price of the trees, and collect some taxes like vehicles and boats."

  Feng Duhu thought for a while, "After all, mountains, lakes and seas belong to the country, and it is right to pay more taxes to the imperial court."

  Anyway, as long as the Wuyuan County Workshop can be started, any amount of money can be earned back.

   It is important to obtain policy support.

   Probably after talking for a long time, Mrs. You felt a little thirsty.

  She got up and walked towards the ice mirror, and skillfully took out a plate of sliced ​​cold melon from it, and placed it between the two:

   "Do you want to eat?"

   "Let's have a piece."

   Feng Duhu said reluctantly.

   This is a new variety planted on the plateau north of the Weishui River in Guanzhong this year.

  The skin of the melon is still very thick and there are still many seeds, but the taste is better than last year.

  The flesh of the melon is not so smooth, and it vaguely has the appearance of later generations.

   It is acceptable to eat two mouthfuls to cool off the heat.

  Madam You's mouth is not big, but she eats very fast. Before Feng Duhu finished one piece, she has already started to eat the second one.

   "By the way, the palace has decided to establish a Dudu Mansion in Hedong."

  Madam You said vaguely while eating.

  Feng Duhu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.

   "Hedong Governor's Mansion?"

"right."

  Madam You swallowed a mouthful of melon and nodded.

  The current court structure of the Great Han Dynasty, government affairs are handled by the Shangshutai, but Feng Duhu has the right to consult.

   Military affairs are handled by the Central Capital Protectorate, but Wei Yan also has the right to consult.

  The two in the palace are making the final decision.

   This is the general flow.

  Like this time, the palace suddenly announced the establishment of a Hedong Dudu Mansion, and did not discuss it with the Zhongdu Hufu in advance, so Feng Duhu was naturally a little surprised.

  Feng Duhu didn't speak immediately, but chewed the flesh in his mouth carefully, and finally raised his head and asked:

   "The reason?

  The Central Capital Protectorate is in charge of Chinese and foreign military forces. Even if it is a decision made in the palace, as long as it does not conform to the actual situation, the one that should be rejected will still be rejected.

   Sitting in this position, one day there will be disagreements with the palace on certain matters, Feng Duhu has long been mentally prepared.

   After all, the struggle between Xiangquan and imperial power can be regarded as an important thread of politics in the feudal era of China.

  Although Feng Duhu has no name, with his status, he actually owns part of the power.

   It's just that he hopes that the battle between Ji Han's imperial power and ministerial power will come as late as possible.

   After all, the little fat man is still very good.

   It's just public is public, private is private, not to mention this idea, it doesn't look like the little fat man's style.

  Because the little fat man is not the kind of person who likes to make random changes in state affairs to show his own existence.

   "Hedong does not belong to Yongzhou, nor does it belong to Bingzhou, it belongs to Sizhou."

   "Now, the Sizhou of our Dahan only has the county of Hedong."

  Madam You lowered her head to eat the melon while explaining, thinking that Feng Duhu couldn't see the expression on her face.

   It's just that they have slept together for so many years, no matter how cunning Mrs. You is, she can't hide some things from Feng Duhu.

  Of course, it is also possible that you don’t want to hide it.

   "Now the capital of the great Han Dynasty is Chang'an, which is called Sizhou, instead of calling the capital of the Wei thieves Sizhou."

  Feng Duhu sneered, "Besides, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the world was divided into thirteen prefectures. Although the Luoyang area belongs to Yuzhou, it is under the jurisdiction of Sizhou where Chang'an is located, just like Hedong."

  The big Han mentioned by Feng Duhu naturally refers to the former Han.

  The former Han divided the world into thirteen prefectures, while the later Han just inherited and changed according to their own conditions.

  Emperor Guangwu revived the Great Han Dynasty and set his capital in Luoyang. He also divided Henan, Hanoi and Hedong and other places that originally belonged to Yuzhou, and merged them into Sizhou.

  Furthermore, there is something wrong with Feng Duhu's words, because the capital of the former Han Dynasty was not called Sizhou, but Sili, which is equivalent to the state.

  The land of Sili belongs to Yongzhou in the division of Kyushu.

   Now that Ji Han really wants to restore the thirteen prefectures of the former Han, no one can say that he is wrong.

   It can't be changed by Hou Han, but Ji Han can't change it?

  So Feng Duhu could tell that the queen was giving herself eye drops—or a warning.

   "Then what do you say?"

  Madam You heard what her own Alang said, and knew that he should have seen the meaning in it, so she raised her head:

   "We can't combine Yongzhou and Liangzhou again, can we?"

  Feng Duhu was not used to her, so he said angrily:

   "Longxi plus the three counties of Longyou, and Anding County, what's the problem with dividing such a big place into one state?"

   "Jingzhao, Feng Yi, Fufeng, this is the land of the three assistants, plus Beidi County and Hedong County, together as the land of Sili, isn't it just right?"

  Madam You's voice is muffled:

   "Then what are you going to do? Oppose the decision in the palace? Redefine the land of Yongzhou?"

   "The division must be re-divided."

  Feng Duhu spat out a few seeds and replied.

  The land of Sili is under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, so the central government is under the jurisdiction of the local government. Is this reasonable?

   But it may be a bit difficult to prevent the palace from establishing the Hedong Dudu Mansion.

   "Isn't the governor of the Hedong Governor's Mansion Wei Yan?"

  This time, Mrs. You was really surprised: "How did Ah Lang know?"

  Feng Duhu sneered again.

  Besides this old man, who else in the Han army would dare to accept this job?

  Although in the past three years, in order to better coordinate operations, the restructuring of the military has never stopped.

  However, the Central Foreign Army guarding Hedong was reorganized based on the Liangzhou Army.

  The person who takes over must first worry about what Feng Duhu will think in his heart - he can't really think that Feng Duhu is a kind person, and he is kind to others, right?

  The second thing is to look at the whole big man. If Ping Kong passes by alone, who dares to say that he will be able to lead the arrogant soldiers of Hedong well?

  The most disciplined army in later generations, even after conquering the world, there are still various hills in the army.

  Can you expect the Han army to be more enlightened than later generations?

  If there is no war, it’s okay to say, take it slowly with some means, and the soldiers will always accept it.

  But Hedong is a strategically important area, and Hanoi and Henan, which are facing Wei thieves, may conflict at any time.

  On the battlefield, you must have the consciousness of dying at any time, but survival is a person's instinct.

  Emperors want to live forever!

  The soldiers below want to have a little more hope of surviving before the battle, what's wrong?

  So they must be willing to follow a commander they know and trust—preferably one who is invincible and invincible.

  The probability of survival like that is definitely higher.

  Once there is a war, with Feng Duhu's jewels in front, no matter who is appointed as the governor of the Hedong Governor's Mansion, he will feel great pressure.

   Except Wei Yan.

  After all, when the first emperor was here, he dared to pat his chest and say that he could use Hanzhong to reject the Wei thieves and the whole country. If there were only 100,000 invaders, he could still swallow them.

   This is also the reason why Feng Duhu knew that he could not prevent the palace from establishing the Hedong Dudu's Mansion.

  If Wei Yan agrees to this matter and is willing to serve as the governor, what else can the Central Capital Protectorate do?

  Old husband and wife, Feng Duhu just scoffed, Madam You understood his consideration.

   She sighed slightly.

   In fact, there is a tacit understanding between the two.

   That is the soldiers of Hedong, they are indeed too arrogant, but Feng Duhu has a huge influence on them.

  So the real purpose of the man in the palace is to weaken Feng Duhu's influence on the original Liangzhou army.

   Those who play politics like this are simply instinctive.

   As for using this to express dissatisfaction with a certain marriage, it was just by the way.

   "I also think it's inappropriate for my sister to do this. After all, it's a military matter. What if Old General Wei..."

  Madam You hesitated to speak.

  Feng Duhu could take it easy, shook his head and said with a smile:

   "We have to face it in the end."

  The purpose of the restructuring in the past three years is to bring the Xiangfu Army and Liangzhou Army under the central government.

  How could the queen let the Liangzhou army change the soup instead of the medicine?

  Feng Duhu has already supervised the Chinese and foreign military forces. It is normal for the former Xiangfu Army and Liangzhou Army to change their commanders.

  In later generations, there will be military region swaps.

   "Letting Wei Yan go is better than letting someone else go."

  The big man has won many battles and victories over the years, which has made many people feel inflated.

  I feel that the Wei thief is nothing more than mediocre.

   Wei Yan is also a veteran at any rate. He has fought for many years, and Feng Yong can rest assured that he will go to Hedong. With the respect of the left hussar general, being the governor is enough to show his weight.

  At least it shows that the palace is not making random adjustments for its own sake.
