Chapter 1272 Chess Pieces and Players(2/2)
"We are only afraid that when we get to Guanzhong, we will become the prey of Feng Mingwen's knife and let him slaughter us!"
After all, Feng Wenhe's notoriety is well-known throughout the world.
Unexpectedly, Pei Qian seemed to have anticipated the other party's worries, but he smiled and took a roll of paper from his sleeve pocket like a magic trick:
"Don't I know what you are worried about? Although I was humiliated by Feng Mingwen in the court, I am still somewhat thin-faced after all."
As he spoke, he spread out the paper, "Feng Mingwen is so powerful that it is hard for the emperor to refute him openly."
"So the emperor specially brought me into the palace on the second day and expressed my comfort with gentle words. Finally, before I left the palace, His Majesty also gave me something."
Hearing what Pei Qian said, everyone couldn't help but cast their eyes on the piece of paper.
"Mr. Feng, you are a person of high moral character here, why don't you read it to everyone?"
The old man known as Feng Gong curiously took the paper handed over by Pei Qian, glanced at it, and said "Huh".
"The first five-year plan for Tongyi?"
What kind of weird document is this?
After Feng Gong read the first sentence, he couldn't help but look up at Pei Qian.
Pei Qian smiled and said nothing.
Mr. Feng had no choice but to continue reading.
"The First Five-Year Plan for Tongyi" not only planned the location of the first Tongyi, but also explained in detail the role of Tongyi.
The most important thing is that it not only talks about how to use Tongyi to connect Chang'an and Jiuyuan, but also involves the future development direction of Tongyi.
"The land of Henan (i.e. the Hetao area, not Henan County) is rich in water and grass, and the land is fertile. It is both farming and grazing. It is a God-given land for animal husbandry."
"However, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and Cao Cao moved all the Han people into Taiyuan, resulting in Henan being occupied by the Hu people. It is a pity!"
"If we can get the power of Guanzhong and rebuild the border towns, it will be possible to see the cattle, sheep and horses of the Han Dynasty spread all over the north and south of the river."
"Also, wool is used by the people for daily use, and Jiuyuan is a good land..."
Not to mention anything else, just hearing this piece of information made some people's eyes light up.
Yes, whether the wool or wool from Jiuyuan is transported to Chang'an, it must pass through Tongyi.
All kinds of materials transported from Chang'an to Jiuyuan are also transited through Tongyi.
This, this, this!
Wool, wool, brown sugar, tea, grain...
Even if you only touch it once, your hands will be full of oil!
Listen, listen again!
What?
Do you want to borrow the people and financial resources of Tongyi to realize Jiuyuan?
Can the children of Tongyi be selected as officials in the Jiuyuan Governor's Mansion?
Doesn't that mean there is an opportunity to participate in transactions with barbarians?
Can people from Tongyi go to the Jiuyuan enclosure to raise sheep and shear their wool?
You can also buy a spot in the woolen fabric workshop!
The woolen fabric workshops in Jiuyuan and Yanmen areas now basically belong to the Xinghan Hui.
After all, this was the compensation for the imperial court to promote the Han Dynasty.
But to the north of Yanmenhan, plus the entire Jiuyuan hometown, how big is it?
Even with the ability of Xinghanhui, we can only pick and choose, and select some of the best places.
The manpower, material and financial resources invested in it are simply like throwing a stone into a big lake, with a few ripples at most.
Not to mention that the development focus of Xinghanhui is still on coal and iron.
Feng Gong, who has white hair and beard, the more he continued to read, the faster and louder his voice became, and the many wrinkles on his face and forehead actually continued to stretch out.
Although this memorial is a bit special and the words are too straightforward, the content cannot be overstated!
The more you listen, the more you want to hear it.
"Aiya aiya, Feng Gong, Feng Gong, wait a moment, wait a moment, let me hear you clearly."
"Don't be impatient. After Feng Gong finishes reading, everyone can pass it around to each other."
Pei Qian said slowly, "But only here. Outside of this room, I have not seen a word of the contents of this memorial."
"understand!"
“Understand, understand!”
The people below agreed and rushed to circulate it.
This is the imperial court's plan for Tongyi in the next five years.
Although it only lasts for five years, it is enough to give people a head start.
In this kind of matter, whoever has the upper hand will take advantage.
Some people also praised:
"Your Majesty still values Gong Pei. You can show these secret memorials to Gong Pei."
Pei Qiandan said:
"How wise is the Emperor? I plead for you, do you think His Majesty can't see it?"
"Your Majesty gave me this thing to tell me that the imperial court has already considered the establishment of Tongyi."
"Your Majesty asked me to take this thing because he wanted me to win over the people of Guandong after Feng Mingwen reorganized the Guandong family."
The half-truth and half-lie immediately made everyone present feel in awe.
Sure enough, Your Majesty still values Gong Pei.
Pei Qian glanced at the crowd and said, "As the saying goes, a thousand gold buys a bone, you are the first group of people I want to appease."
"I don't hesitate to reveal this secret. I can't say it's insincere. I just hope that you guys will not let me down or make me lose face in front of Your Majesty."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Pei!"
"Thank you, Mr. Pei."

"Snapped!"
In Gui Palace, the queen dropped a chess piece and looked at the emperor with a smile.
A Dou was a little scratching his head:
"With the Queen's move, I feel like I'm going to lose again."
------------------
"Snapped!"
In Da Sima's house, Feng Da Sima also dropped a chess piece, and then shouted:
"Five in a row! Win!"
He stretched out his hand and flicked Hua Xiaowu's forehead.
Ga Peng!
Chapter completed!
