Chapter 919 (1/2)

”I'll see my father!” Liu Zhao bowed and obeyed.

”Come back! Go with me. ”

The voice of the aged sounded in Liu Zhao's ear.

”Father emperor!” His mood was agitated and complicated.

I haven't seen you for several years. My father is so old that I can't look at him directly.

Wende Di laughed. He wanted to reach out and pat Liu Zhao on the shoulder, but suddenly found that his son was half a head taller than him.

At the moment when Emperor Wende was ready to put down his hand, Liu Zhao suddenly made an unexpected move.

He squatted down, looked up at Wende emperor, full of complex emotions, called out: ”father emperor!”

Wendedi's lips moved and his eyes were complicated. In the twinkling of an eye, he laughed again. This time, he successfully patted Liu Zhao on the shoulder, ”well, I didn't lose the face of Liu's royal family.”

”I dare not lose my life, I dare not lose face.”

”Ha ha ha...”

With his hands behind his back, Wende took the lead out of the hall and walked along the three foot wide path toward the back mountain.

Liu Zhao was half a step behind and followed the emperor Wende.

From time to time, he held out his hand and let it go before the emperor noticed it.

He did it naturally.

Sometimes Liu Zhao thought that he hated him.

He hated his father's unfairness and his ruthlessness.

However, when he saw his father with white hair and white hair and a slow and heavy step, all his hatred turned into nothingness.

In my memory, my father and emperor, who is upright and dignified by nature, will have an old day.

Even if you are an emperor, you can't escape.

Liu Zhao's heart fluctuated, giving birth to many feelings.

Both father and son did not speak and climbed the mountain in silence.

The palace men and bodyguards followed.

Finally, we got to the top of the mountain.

The back mountain is not high enough to see the small mountains. Can only see hidden in the mountains between the palace group hall, shuttle among the palace people, concubines.

On the outskirts of the palace, there are many houses where officials, Royal relatives and others live.

Liu Zhao looked around and finally found the place where he and Gu Jiu lived.

It is located in the center of many houses.

He was startled by the stars?

Is this intentional? Or coincidence?

He looked at Vander.

Vander found a stone and was ready to sit down.

Chang en hurried forward and put the soft cushion on the stone, ”the stone is cool, your majesty is careful of your body.”

Wende waved to him to step down.

He beckoned Liu Zhao to come to him. ”Tell me something about the northwest. What is the situation now? Do you see Lu Hou? ”

”To my father, the situation in the Northwest has been settled. The governor's office is determined to send troops into the depths of the grassland and seize the opportunity to occupy the grassland. ”

”Occupy the grassland?” Emperor Wende pondered, ”Li Bingming mentioned such a sentence in the memorial. I didn't think about it carefully. Tell me what you and Li Bingming think

”The idea of the children's minister and Mr. Li is to push the border into the deep grassland.”

Vander frowned.

”The grassland is very large and the climate is bad. It is not suitable for farming. It is only suitable for grazing life where people live by water. Living by water means population migration. How can the government manage it? There were only officials of one place and one city in Dazhou, but there were no officials who migrated with the herdsmen. This is not conducive to the administration of the court. ”

”What my father said is true. This is also the fundamental reason why the successive dynasties gave up the management of grassland. There was no way to carry out the statistics of population and land and could not manage it. But if we do not manage the grassland, the enemy will manage it. The enemy not only manages grasslands, but also tramples on us. ”

After a pause, Liu Zhao continued: ”without Beirong, Dazhou will not manage the grassland. In a few decades, a new nation will be born on the grassland. All Xirong and Dongrong were ambitious and planned to plunder Dazhou for a living. He thought that he could not take the old road of the past dynasties, but could try to take a new road, a road that the predecessors had not gone through. The son minister thought, the new road no matter how bad, will not be worse than the situation in the previous two years. ”

Wende looked into the distance, frowned and thought, ”what kind of new road do you want to take?”

Liu Zhao said: ”a few years ago, with the permission of his father, a number of fortresses were built on the grassland. Relying on these fortresses, they effectively intercepted the Xiliang cavalry and established an effective supply line. If you manage the prairie, you can take these fortresses and fortresses as the center to count the population and livestock. ”

”Have you ever thought about how much it will cost to manage the grassland? Where does the money come from? How much tax can grassland herdsmen and livestock provide? What if the fortress was learned by barbarians and dealt with Zhou in turn? ”
