Chapter 10 Gu

There was a worm on the dish. Tian Liuhu, who was originally illiterate, was deeply impressed by this word. Looking at the scenery outside the city and the mountains in the distance, thinking about the "secret news of the South Central" that the emperor told him, he felt a little chilled.

The so-called secret news in Nanzhong is that there is a secret technique called Gu. Many people who first arrived in Nanzhong are easily "gued" by others, and then they will die after being pierced intestines and rotten in their stomachs.

Death is very terrifying.

Tian Liuhu originally didn't believe it, but when he saw the emperor talking vividly, he couldn't help but feel a little scared of this secret technique in the South China.

Gu is said to be a poisonous insect or a witchcraft. People who raise Gu can use witchcraft to harm people invisibly.

The method of making Gu is to place hundreds of insects in a vessel and seal them so that they can eat each other. The worm that survives is the "Gu", which can harm people.

Tian Liuhu had never heard of this secret story in the South Central before, and the emperor used this as an example to explain to him what the consequences would be if the South Central Central raised a Gu.

There are mountains in the south, and countless tribes live, just like a hundred insects living in vessels, fighting each other, and the "Gu" that survived is the king of hundreds of insects.

Such an insect king has actually appeared, that is, the Cuan family.

After hundreds of years, the Cuan family annexed tribes of all sizes. More than a hundred years ago, the big surnames in various places in Nanzhong had either died or turned into dogs guarding the door in front of the Cuan family.

The Cuan family is the Gu who lived to the end, and is already fat and strong.

Therefore, it was inevitable that the imperial court sent troops to quell the rebellion of the Cuan clan, because if this continues, the Cuan clan's ambition will continue to expand and will definitely seize the Southern Central Committee and then wait for an opportunity to expand to the outside world.

To the north of Nanzhong is a rich Shu area, and to the south of Nanzhong (southeast), it is Jiaozhou where rice can be planted twice a year. It also has abundant resources. Once the Cuan family truly controls Nanzhong, it can threaten these two places at any time.

Now that the Cuan family's strength has declined, the establishment of the Nanning Prefecture General Administration can ensure the safety of the Yizhou Prefecture and the Jiaozhou Prefecture General Administration.

In order to strengthen control over Nanzhong, the court transported all the latest weapon, artillery, and in order to open up land and cultivate water conservancy, a large number of iron tools were also transported.

At the same time, the government has planned to expand the scale of mining and smelting of the iron ore existing in Lianran, Kunming.

In a few years, Nanzhong will no longer be short of iron. Everything is to prepare for large-scale land reclamation in Nanzhong. However, there is a hidden danger in the consequences of doing so, that is, once the situation in Nanzhong is out of control, the new "Gu" that appears in the southern central region will have greater harm.

This is not sensational, but something that may happen. The court invested a lot of manpower and material resources in Nanzhong to develop. If it was handled improperly, it would only be a wedding dress for others.

The Cuan family may be revived, and there may be other barbarian tribes, and the big surnames will rise and become more powerful Gu. What will happen then?

A large number of people migrated from the court became slaves of Gu, making cattle and horses for them, and reproduction for them; the large areas of farmland that were finally reclaimed provide Gu with a large amount of food to help them grow rapidly.

The large mine that was finally built has given Gu iron teeth and copper teeth. At that time, Gu insects attack from north to south, and the situation in Yizhou and Jiaozhou is decayed. What should we do?

Tian Liuhu didn't think this would happen, and he felt that the emperor thought things about Nanzhong too complicated. Of course, there was nothing wrong with this. After all, be careful that the emperor always used military service. Tian Liuhu was already used to it.

But he felt that there was no need to worry so much.

The government army was invincible in the south central area. The barbarians of all units did not even have iron armor, and they all walked barefoot, so they could pose a threat to the government army equipped with artillery.

The most powerful Cuan family in the Nanzhong region now has only half its life left. What kind of climate can the other so-called big surnames become?

How could a Gu still be born in Nanzhong today?

......

"Your Majesty, the edicts around Ye Yuze have long admired the Central Plains. As long as the court supports one of them, it can be used to help. There is no need to mobilize troops and set up many forts and beacon towers, which makes the garrison soldiers complain..."

"Mr. Linghu, the so-called 'resential voices' come from? I know that the roads in Nanzhong are rugged and smoky, and I also know that the soldiers are working hard for war. However, double military pay is paid as usual. Could it be that Mr. Linghu discovered that someone in the army exploited soldiers?"

"No, Your Majesty, what I said was that when I was chatting with the garrison soldiers, they were far away from their hometown, and their homesickness was beyond words, so they had many complaints..."

"Duke Linghu, the court has ordered that soldiers from all over Yizhou do not need to enter Beijing to stay in the capital, and to enter the garrisons in various places in Nanzhong for a year. The soldiers left their hometowns and naturally had some complaints. However, the court exempted them from renting for a year, which was not in vain..."

In the hall, the emperor Yuwen Wen was talking to the ambassador Linghu Xi, who returned from the governor of the Nanzhong. Yuwen Wen, who had been ascending the throne for three years, had a little longer appearance except for the fact that his beard was a little longer, his appearance had not changed, he had no weight, and no head-up lines.

There is no "crazy prime minister" formed by "over-drinking wine", and he is still full of energy.

At this time, there was a thick stack of information on the desk in front of him, and Linghu Xi's memorial, with tens of thousands of words in the memorial. It is conceivable that what he wrote would not be "good words".

Now, Yuwen Wen is having a "friendly" discussion with Linghu Xi on the issue of Nanzhong, and is trying to convince each other.

The imperial court wanted to manage Nanzhong, but in fact, the opposition never stopped. Of course, the prime ministers did not oppose the imperial court setting up the Nanning Prefecture General Office in Nanzhong, but they just felt that there was too much investment in the future, and the finance department would not be able to bear it in the long run.

There are all kinds of worries, but it is not unreasonable. Yu Wen Wen expressed his understanding and affirmed everyone's worries.

Then continue.

Now, the ambassador Linghu Xi, who returned from the governor of Nanzhong, took detailed information to state the public opinion and military morale he learned in various places, and advised the emperor to stop the "Shen Nanzhong" move, so as not to cause civil unrest or even mutiny by the garrison soldiers.

The root of the problem is that the emperor had a great plan in the south. He not only wanted to suppress the Cuan family to avoid rekindling, but also wanted to build a city in Yeyuze hundreds of miles west of Kunming. He stationed troops for a long time and suppressed the barbarians around Yeyuze, namely the imperial edicts.

The imperial edict means "king" in the barbarian language, and after hundreds of years of continuous annexation, these barbarians formed the Mengqiong edict, Yuexie edict, Langqiong edict and other powerful edicts.

In order to achieve these two goals, the court had to immigrate to Nanzhong on a large scale, and sent more troops to guard cities, forts, and beacon towers in various places, which is the "Sinanzhong".

Linghu Xi walked around Nanzhong, Zhuti, Weicheng, Tongle, Kunming, and Yeyuze. He also received the emperor's edicts. Therefore, he was very familiar with the customs and local customs in Nanzhong. He stayed in Yizhou for several months to check the people's conditions, so he thought that the "Shen Nanzhong" was inappropriate.

With the current situation in Nanzhong, Linghu Xi believed that the court only needed to ensure the smooth passage of Yizhou to Jiaozhou, and then beware of the revival of the Cuan clan. It was enough to do these two points. As for the Ye Yuze's edicts, they only needed to support one of them and serve as the Nanning Prefecture General Administration.

Linghu Xi's view is actually a consensus among the prime ministers of the three provinces. After all, the manpower and financial resources required to implement the "Shennanzhong" are too large. Even if the emperor plans to complete it in decades, such financial expenses cannot be afforded by the court in the long run.

Now that Linghu Xi has made this point, Yu Wen Wen has to fight back. He drank a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and began to debate.

"Since Mr. Linghu has been to Nanzhong, I wonder if he has heard of a secret technique in Nanzhong?"

"I am ignorant and ignorant, please let Your Majesty make it clear."
