"The Grand Sima was not angry at Pei Wenxing. Instead, he said that Pei Wenxing had always had a reputation for uprightness. He abandoned evil and turned to the bright side, and his character did not change, which is extremely valuable."

"He admitted that various problems will inevitably arise in the process of implementing the New Deal, which is unavoidable. And the disadvantages raised by Pei Wenxing are still obvious."

"However, the jade cannot be rejected because of minor flaws. The court can send more envoys to inspect the jade to correct the deviation."

When the queen heard this, she nodded in agreement and said:

"Da Sima sticks to his principles without losing his sense of proportion, does not get angry when he hears evil words, and is quite magnanimous."

Who would have expected that when Adou heard this, he couldn't help laughing:

"You are magnanimous, and you are talking to your own people. You don't know Feng Mingwen's name yet? He is cruel and ruthless to Xiao Wenhe. If the Shangdang wealthy family causes such a big trouble, he will definitely kill him."

"Huh?" The Queen was startled, "Could it be that Feng Da Sima has a back-up plan?"

"Isn't that possible?" Adou had a rather strange look on his face, "He took advantage of Pei Qian's question and tried to pull the trigger. He proposed to imitate the former Han Dynasty's mausoleum system and build a Tongyi north of Chang'an to connect Jiuyuan."

"Tongyi?"

The queen was a little confused.

But the tombs of the former Han Dynasty were too famous, so she had some vague guesses.

"Exactly, Tongyi." Adou nodded, "Although Guanzhong has been liberated now, it has been plagued by wars all year round, people's livelihood has deteriorated, and the people have ten houses and nine empty houses."

"Although Guanzhong is connected to Jiuyuan by the Qin Straight Road, the people's power is ultimately poor and it is difficult to continue."

"Therefore, it is not as good as setting up a city in the north of Chang'an and moving the noble families from Guandong to build it, so as to connect Jiuyuan, so it is called Tongyi."

"In this way, firstly, we can consolidate the northern frontier, secondly, we can strengthen the power of the people in Guanzhong, thirdly, we can weaken the Guandong aristocratic families and prevent them from causing trouble in the prefectures and counties, and fourthly, this Tongyi can also be used as the mausoleum of the Han Dynasty in the future."

With the queen's wisdom, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when she heard this plan.

If the implementation of the New Deal is to dig up the foundation of aristocratic families, then this strategy of unifying the cities is simply to use a knife to drain their blood and cut off their flesh!

But the queen had to admit that from the perspective of the royal family and the consolidation of the foundation of the Han Dynasty, this strategy really made her heart beat.

"I take back what I just said. This Feng Mingwen is exactly what His Majesty said. He is the same as before. He has never changed. He is truly ruthless and ruthless, Xiao Wenhe!"

No wonder a cruel official like Shi Bao was able to enjoy his life like a fish in water.

The queen still hadn't finished her words. In her opinion, Feng Mingwen looked like he was praising Pei Wenxing for a few words, but in fact, he turned around and hit him with a big stick.

Don’t you, Pei Wenxing, want to plead for the people?

Don't you want to intercede with the wealthy Shangdang family?

Okay, then I'll just beat them to death with sticks in front of you!

Killing someone is heartbreaking!

However, Feng Mingwen proposed this policy based on the interests of the country, which is irrefutable.

Compared with consolidating and strengthening the basic base of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible, what do those wealthy Kanto families with evil intentions or possible evil intentions count?

After the death of the Later Han Dynasty, all the powerful families in Guandong were punished one by one, and sometimes they were killed by mistake.

But every other barbarian family must have some fish slipping through the net.

"Yes, Grand Sima said that the powerful families in Guandong often attach themselves to traitors. This move is to make them commit crimes and perform meritorious service to prove their own will."

Adou sighed, "Da Sima's words are still as irrefutable as ever."

How about some clever words and flirtatious words?

Empress Zhang was also a little fascinated. Fortunately, such a magnificent figure was a minister of the Han Dynasty, and he was also the emperor's brother-in-law.

Nowadays, the general trend of the world has become more and more clear. When the Han Dynasty officially marches out of Guandong, it will be the time to decide the fate of the world.

By that time, no matter how reluctant the wealthy families of Guandong were, they had only two choices under the iron-hoofed troops of the Han Dynasty:

One is to choose to die together with the puppet Wei Dynasty, and the other is to move westward into Guanzhong.

Even if they die together with the pseudo-Wei, their clan is not extinct, I believe that with Da Sima's methods, they can basically make them close to being extinct.

However, there was still a glimmer of hope in moving westward to Guanzhong.

After all, under the Han Dynasty's scientific examination system, as long as their children are successful enough, they might be able to regain a foothold in Guanzhong.

How to choose? Do you need to think about it?

Because there is no choice at all.

Empress Zhang could already think about the grand occasion after the Han Dynasty conquered Guandong.

"Although this move may make some Guandong families determined to fight against the enemy and make it more difficult to pacify the world, as long as the Han soldiers can succeed in the battle."

"Then this strategy of Da Sima can at least lay the foundation for a hundred years of peace for the Han Dynasty."

Empress Zhang couldn't help but sigh, "Da Sima is an extraordinary person who does extraordinary things. He is a true hero!"

Can the Han generals eliminate the pseudo-Wei and pacify Guandong?

At least the queen would not doubt it, or even firmly believe it.

Just thinking that such people might become powerful officials of the Han Dynasty in the future, Empress Zhang felt a little depressed.

Although Feng Mingwen is known for his foresight and foresight, he is mostly used to intimidating his opponents with his majestic power.

It's a pleasure to be his ally.

But it's hard to be his opponent.

Because you will always have a feeling of frustration with nothing to do.

But the queen thought about her own situation and realized that it didn't make much sense to think about it now.

Moreover, after the Shangdang battle, His Majesty was already tired of politics and wanted to retreat.

After all, this is how the Prime Minister's era came to be. For His Majesty, Feng Mingwen is much easier to get along with and more approachable than his prime minister.

Based on Your Majesty's temperament, Feng Mingwen's ability, and the expectations of all ministers, the Queen knows very well that Feng Da Sima's position is probably unshakable.

At least until the Wei thieves are eliminated, or even Soochow is pacified, and the world is unified, as long as Feng Da Sima does not have any dissatisfaction, His Majesty probably does not want to cause trouble again.

As soon as she thought of this, the queen suddenly felt powerless.

I feel so tired competing with my ministers for His Majesty's heart.

But it's not without gain. At least knowing Pei Qian seems to have a plan.

The queen thought about it and asked with a smile:

"Your Majesty must have said that they had been arguing for most of the day because of this matter, right?"

Adou said with a bitter face:

"Exactly. Then Pei Wenxing wanted to ask for orders for Shangdang officials. Who would have expected that he would get such a result? How could he be willing to do so?"

"It's just that this time, even the general felt that Sima's strategy was quite old-fashioned, and Pei Wenxing was helpless and angry."

"I can only ask the Grand Sima again and again. The Shangdang's tyranny has not yet been resolved. How will we ensure that when the wealthy families move westward, local officials will not persecute good families."

When Adou said this, he scratched his head again:

"I heard that Pei Wenxing's son was a disciple of Feng Da Sima. His behavior in the court made me a little confused."

The queen smiled and said:

"What's so surprising about this? Your Majesty doesn't see Wei Wenchang's son?"

"And if something is abnormal, there must be a reason for it." She looked thoughtful, "As the world knows, the Han Dynasty does not like the Guandong and even the Central Plains aristocratic families."

"After joining the party, anyone who has seen it can predict that they will only be treated more harshly in the future."

"With the status of the Pei family in Hedong, Pei Wenxing stepped forward at this time..." Before she finished speaking, the queen sneered, "The plot is probably not trivial!"

If we say that Feng Da Sima represents the new nobles and relatives, the general represents the old ministers and Jingzhou Yuan Cong.

Then Pei Wenxing, an old fox, is afraid that he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to win over the hearts of the Shangdang wealthy family in Hedong, Taiyuan, and gain a foothold in the court.

Maybe there will be a cleansed Kanto family in the future.

There is no fuel-efficient lamp!

Adou is still a little confused:

"So what? Who can be better than Great Sima in the court? Pei Wenxing is not young, so what's the point of coveting this little power?"

The Queen sighed:

"Has your Majesty forgotten about cotton? If Pei Wenxing becomes the hope of Bingzhou and Hedong, how much benefit will the Pei family get from growing cotton in Yanqing and other prefectures and counties in the future?"

"Oh, I forgot this section!"

Adou slapped his head, "How could I forget such a big thing?"

The imperial court made an agreement with the wealthy families in Bingzhou, Hedong and other places to plant cotton in Guandong in the future. According to the plan submitted by Feng Da Sima, how many tens of thousands of dollars will be involved?

Other things can be ignored, but things related to money and food must not be forgotten.

Adou couldn't help but blame himself secretly.

"This old fox Pei, ahem, Pei Wenxing actually has such a far-reaching plan!"
