The System Made Me a Fool

Chapter 141 The Legend

　　"it is good!"

　　Yan Ge clapped his hands and said, thinking that he is about to expand his territory, and that the beauties of the Western Regions, war horses and jewelry are all at his fingertips, he couldn't help getting up and pacing back and forth in the house excitedly.

　　"In this way, we have to carry out a four-pronged approach, not only to attack the Western Regions, but also to suppress mergers, to reform the way of recruiting scholars, and to start getting involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, each of which will cost a lot of money, so In this battle to attack the Western Regions, expenses must be reduced to a minimum!"

　　Yan Ge said.

　　At this time, he turned to Zhang Feng, a farmer, and said, "Zhang Aiqing, the money and food in the treasury will be enough to support our war to annex the Western Regions in the near future."

　　Zhang Feng said: "Your Majesty, the harvest is good all over the country at present, but because the recent famine relief has consumed a lot of food and grass, so if it is done right now.

　　To start a war, to ensure the supply of food, we can only control the troops and horses to less than [-] people."

　　"But if we wait until after the autumn harvest to start the war, I have confidence that our granary will be enough for His Majesty to send more than 40 soldiers and horses to expedition to the Western Regions!"

　　Zhang Feng is a big farmer, and there is no one here... more expert than him when it comes to food issues. When Zhang Feng said that the number of expeditions could only be limited to less than [-] people, the ministers immediately talked about it.

　　"Although Zhao Yun, Li Jing, Li Cunxu and other generals all have inappropriate courage, but the vast land in the Western Regions, if you want to use only [-] people to pacify it, it is too hard for people to be strong."

　　"Yeah, [-] people want to pacify the Western Regions, the risk is too great. Wouldn't it be safer for Your Majesty to wait until the autumn harvest this year before launching the war?"

　　Jiang Ziya also said: "It's just that the weather conditions in the Western Regions are bad. When the autumn harvest is over, it will be winter. Expeditions to the Western Regions in the severe cold are even more impossible. It seems that the plan to conquer the Western Regions can only be delayed until next year."

　　Yan Ge shook his head after listening to it: "The soldiers are very fast, and now it coincides with the fact that the Xiongnu and Rouran have both temporarily died, and the strength of all parties in the Western Regions is the weakest, and it is a great opportunity to win in one fell swoop.

　　If we wait until next year, if the Xiongnu, Rouran, Tubo and other countries are not allowed to intervene again, the plan to conquer the Western Regions will be in vain again."

　　"But Your Majesty, the Western Regions are huge, and it is really difficult to reach the sky with a mere [-] horses."

　　At this time, even Wang Meng came out to persuade him.

　　"who said it!"

　　Yan Ge became anxious when he heard it, "Just those small countries in the Western Regions, Ban Chao can handle it with 36 people!"

　　As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked! "Your Majesty Ban Chao, who is Ban Chao, who can pacify the Western Regions with only 36 people"

　　Wang Meng asked in surprise.

　　Of course, it is impossible for Wang Meng in history not to know about the famous Ban Chao in the Han Dynasty, but as a summoning character, the system has erased his memory related to history, so he was so surprised.

　　In fact, don't blame Wang Meng for being so surprised, even if Yan Ge has read history himself, every time he thinks of Ban Chao's feat, he still has a feeling of dreaming.

　　Ban Chao's experience in pacifying the Western Regions is a miracle in the history of world diplomacy and military affairs! He initially only took three people on an envoy to the Western Regions.

　　What 3 people can do In the eyes of normal people, 36 people can also form a mission, and it is very good to have good diplomatic relations with the countries in the Western Regions.

　　But Ban Chao didn't think so.

　　With these 36 people, he turned out to be in: Shanshan State launched a night attack on the Hun embassy! You must know that the Huns are strong, brave and good at fighting.

　　But Ban Chao just relied on the night that the enemy could not see how many people were attacking, and with his bluff, he completely defeated the Hun envoy, and even decapitated the Hun envoy! After this battle, Shan Shan threw himself on the ground against Ban Chao In this way, he surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

　　This was Ban Chao's first mission to the Western Regions, and he subdued a country with only 36 people! In the second time, Dou Gu wanted to send more people to Ban Chao, but Ban Chao insisted on continuing to send more than [-] people to the Western Regions. Calm down Tian, ​​and other countries.

　　Although he did not have the great Han troops and horses around him, the deterrent force of the great Han state, in the Western Regions, adopted the strategy of "controlling the barbarians with barbarians".

　　With the help of the Western Regions countries that surrendered to the Han Dynasty, they used their own troops to clean up the Western Regions countries that did not obey the Han Dynasty, and they won many battles. At the peak period, more than 50 countries were attached to the Han Dynasty! Finally, the imperial court saw Ban Chao's achievements are too awesome, They couldn't justify not giving any assistance, so they sent more than 100 troops to support Ban Chao.

　　Relying on this number of troops and the Western Regions coalition forces, Ban Chao fought in the South and the North, swept across the Western Regions, successively conquered Qiuci, Gumo, Wensu and other countries, and finally unified the Western Regions, and was named the Protector of the Western Regions by the imperial court! "Supersui surpassed the onion collar, reached the county level, and entered and exited for twenty-two years.

　　Change the king, and sue the people.

　　Don't move China, don't bother the warriors, get the harmony of the far-off barbarians, and have the same heart as different customs, and cause the heaven to be punished, the humiliation, and the revenge of the soldiers."

　　Such a reputation is fitting.

　　It can be said that Ban Chao's experience of conquering the Western Regions is one of the greatest legends in this land, comparable to that of Gao Xianzhi in the Western Regions.

　　A magical story of thousands of miles across the frontier.

　　Thinking of this, Yan Ge suddenly slapped his thigh, yes, if that's the case, why not recruit Ban Chao! In terms of large-scale group battles, Ban Chao is obviously impossible to compete with top famous generals like Li Jing and Li Cunxu.

　　However, there is a specialization in the surgery industry, and if you compare it with a limited condition, the result will be completely different.

　　If 40 soldiers and horses are given, Li Jing and Li Cunxu may be invincible gods of war, but only 5 soldiers and horses are placed on the vast land of the Western Regions, and what is needed is not only military means, but also diplomacy Talent and strategic vision, as well as familiarity with the conditions of the Western Regions.

　　And none of these can surpass Ban Chao! What's more, conquering the Western Regions is not just as simple as taking it down. With the geographical conditions of the Western Regions extending in all directions, they may be coveted by all parties at any time in the future, and none of them is enough. The fork big coffee is here, and even if it is beaten down, it is likely to be lost in a few years.

　　After thinking about it, everything shows that only by recruiting Ban Chao can the current problem be solved.

　　So Yan Ge took a look at the current requirements for redeeming points for hero cards, and sure enough, it has changed from the original 1.

　　2 rose to 1.

　　5, and the next time it can be raised to 2! So now he can no longer summon heroes as casually as before. If he is not a useful enough hero, he might as well not recruit them.

　　But for the current situation, 1.

　　1 recruits for a class super, and a gift from the Western Regions to him, which is equivalent to [-].

　　5 for a large territory equivalent to the territory of several provinces of Dawei, this transaction has been cost-effective and can no longer be cost-effective! Move, immediately.

　　Trick! As soon as Yan Ge was excited, he wanted to click the exchange button in the system mall on the spot. Of course, this is impossible, because he doesn't have that many points now! But this time, the reward for any mission is 2 points. Above, as long as you can complete a task as soon as possible, you will never have to worry about the points of a hero card! So Yan Ge immediately said to Zhang Feng and Jiang Ziya: "Zhang Aiqing, you will immediately from now on.

　　Start raising food and military salaries, too, you are here to prepare for the pre-war dispatch and mobilization, and within a month I will send troops to the Western Regions!"

　　Jiang Ziya said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, is this a bit too hasty?"

　　Even Wang Meng, who has always been supportive of Yan Ge's ideas, persuaded him: "Your Majesty, although the minister is not talented, he also considers himself to be resourceful. of.

　　But I don't know how handsome Ban Chao you are talking about, who can accomplish such a feat."

　　Yan Ge said: "Jing Lue, after all, your talent is in strategizing, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away.

　　And the one I'm talking about... Ban Chao, is a good player who is immersed in the situation and has both sides, so we can't compare them like this."

　　After hearing this, Ge Jianzhang shrugged and said, "Your Majesty, if there is one thing that Lord Shoufu can't do, there are still people in the world who can do it, and this minister will not believe it."

　　Yan Ge laughed when he heard it, pointed to the crowd and said, "You guys, when it comes to Jing Lue now, everyone respects them like gods, but do you remember that a year ago he was not your respected Shoufu Lord, just a The little-known scholar of Longtuge, but he is fighting hundreds of officials in the courtroom!"

　　After speaking, he patted Jiang Taigong on the shoulder again and said, "Who can think that the Taigong was born at an old age, and I was sent to Shanhaiguan for the first battle, and as a result, he helped General Qi Yun to destroy the Xiongnu and stand up. Great work, now he has become the head of the entire army!"

　　"My current right-hand man was appointed by me against all opinions. Now that you have seen their talent, what reason do you have to stop me?"

　　When everyone heard it, there was really no way to refute Yan Ge! If Baiguan dared to speak out boldly in many aspects, then there is one aspect that they, including a wise man like Wang Meng, have no way to single out Yan Ge. Any faults - that is the employment! From last year to the present, Wang Meng, Fan Li, Jiang Ziya and other important figures in the court, which one was not criticized when he first took office, but after a period of time, his talent has amazed everyone This shows that Yan Ge's skill in employing people as a king has indeed reached a perfect state! However, only Yan Ge himself knows that this is what he has the ability to know people. In fact, these characters he summons are among the best in history. Any dynasty or generation can shine! Take Ban Chao as an example. With 36 troops and more than [-] reinforcements from the Han Dynasty, they can pacify the Western Regions. Yan Ge can’t believe that if he gives him [-] people, he can’t handle it. .

　　If it really can't be done, there will not be a class that has repeatedly created miracles in history.

　　Seeing that Yan Ge had said so, the ministers had to obey him, and Jiang Ziya and Zhang Feng each took over their tasks.

　　Yan Ge continued: "Since the candidates and plans for the expedition to the Western Regions have been settled, then this matter has been basically discussed, and the specific expedition matters will have to be decided after I invite Mr. Ban Chao."

　　"Then let's move on to three other things."

　　"Fan Li, tell me, what do you think about curbing land annexation across the country?"

　　Fan Li bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, forgive the ignorance of the minister, so far I haven't thought of a particularly good plan.

　　The minister believes that to solve the problem of land annexation, the problem is nothing but two things, one is to prohibit the landowners and clans from taking the land by accident, and the other is to recover the land that has been annexed by various methods."

　　"The first of these, although there will be resistance, is not particularly difficult.

　　As long as the corresponding laws and regulations are drawn up by the Longtuge Pavilion, and then the Dali Yuan and Zhongshu Province can strictly implement them, even if they encounter opposition, they can rely on the power of the imperial court to forcibly suppress them."

　　"But the key lies in the second point, the question of how to recover the large amount of land that has been annexed.

　　If the government were to buy the land at the current price, the minister roughly estimated that it would cost more than one billion taels of silver, which is completely unaffordable by the current state treasury.

　　Even if it can be afforded one day in the future, this approach will seriously hurt the national finances, which is really inappropriate."

　　"But if it is not funded by the government, but is forcibly withdrawn by government decree, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the world.

　　Your Majesty has previously enacted a new law and the collection of new taxes has greatly touched the interests of these landowners and squires. If you do this again, it will be equivalent to roasting these people on the stove, and there is no guarantee that they will not jump to the wall."

　　"And now that the vassal state has been settled, all industries are prosperous, and the country's economy is developing well, if it suffers from such unstable fluctuations, it is really worth the loss!"

　　Fan Li analyzed it rationally.

　　Yan Ge nodded. In fact, he also knew that this matter was not easy to deal with. Otherwise, the land would have been annexed together with the New Deal, and the problem would have been solved, and it would not have been left to the present.

　　But this problem is stuck in the throat, and it will always make Yan Ge uncomfortable, so it is better to solve it later, but if even Fan Li can't think of a good solution for a while, who else can be trusted? At this time, Yan Ge's mind Suddenly a person came.

　　This person is not a historical genius, nor a Shichen, but a very ordinary local official - Jizhou Prefecture Mu Yuqi! The reason why Yan Ge thinks of him is precisely because during the conversation, Yu Qi Xiang

　　Yan Ge proposed "high salary and honesty"

　　The idea fully shows that this person has extraordinary knowledge.

　　In addition, this person has been working in the local area for a long time. Compared with the central bureaucrats, he has more dealings with the local gentry and landlords, and he has a better understanding of this aspect. Maybe he will have any good suggestions.

　　So Yan Ge asked Yu Xinghuai, who was also in charge of personnel: "Yu Aiqing, Jizhou Prefecture Muke has given the court a memorial for counseling"

　　Yu Xinghuai said: "Yes! Your Majesty, I was about to tell you about this person.

　　Lord Censor Di Gang has been worrying about how to better curb corruption. Yu Qi's opinion immediately opened our minds! After our cabinet discussed his memorial, it was passed half a month ago.

　　This man has extraordinary knowledge, and I was about to ask Your Majesty how to use him."

　　Yan Ge said: "It's so good, then I'll refer him to the Si Nong Mansion first to be a servant.

　　In addition, Yu Qi came to assist Fan Li Aiqing to complete the reform of this land merger, if he can make a contribution this time, I will definitely reuse him!"

　　"In that case, the minister has no opinion."

　　Yu Xinghuai agreed.

　　"Oh, by the way, you can choose the post of Lingling County Inspector"

　　Speaking of Yu Qi, Yan Ge remembered something again.

　　Yu Xinghuai replied: "Your Majesty, Lingling County belongs to a sensitive area where the rebellion has just occurred. The post of governor is very important, so there is no consensus on the side of the officials."

　　Yan Ge said: "Yu Aiqing, I want to recommend someone to you.

　　Mr. He Mu, Dean of Yuelu Academy in Lingling County.
