Han Shizu

Chapter 1888 An Dong Country

Gathered all the princes and grandchildren together, more than [-] people barely managed to surround this "enclosure map". Emperor Liu stood in the middle, leaning on his old waist, first called Liu Xu to his side, and pointed to the northeast corner. Yi Yu said: "I asked you back then whether you planned to be King Qin or King Anton. You didn't give me a clear answer at that time. At this moment, I will tell you directly that Anton is your kingdom!"

Regardless of Liu Xu's complicated expression, Emperor Liu followed up and expressed his specific thoughts on enfeoffing the Andong area: "I have hesitated about the future of Andong. The development of the Northeast is a century-old national policy. To put it bluntly, when you were asked to manage Anton, it was precisely to ensure a good start of this national policy and to escort the prosperity of the Liaodong region!

Since ancient times, China has often suffered from northern troubles, and it is the same in the Han Dynasty.The northeast is a key part of the entire northern frontier defense.It is too expensive for the imperial court to manage directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it is worried about the barbarians of those tribes with the restraint policy.

After much hesitation, I decided to hand over Anton to you, to become a country of my own, to develop freely, and at the same time to control the Black Water Plain for the Han people, and guard the Northeast for the people of the Han family, so as to protect the peace of the side.

But, I don't know, can you and your descendants be able to do it forever as a barrier for the great man? "

When the last question was asked, there was no change on Emperor Liu's face, his expression and tone were even unprecedentedly peaceful, but there were too many things that could not have appeared in the eyes that stared at Liu Xu.

Faced with this question, Liu Xu reacted very quickly, almost without hesitation, and said solemnly: "I swear here that my sons and grandsons will always be the fence of the Han Dynasty, never bully or betray, be loyal and sincere, guard the country, defend the country, This ambition is unswerving, if there is any violation, both humans and gods will abandon it!"

Liu Xu's generous words did not attract Emperor Liu's approval on the spot, probably because he spoke too quickly and fluently, Emperor Liu looked a little strange in his old eyes, and took a deep look at Liu Xu.

At this moment, Liu Xu had already commanded peace, and his face was calm, appearing extraordinarily calm.Such a performance made Emperor Liu feel a little palpitated for no reason.

Lowering his head, Emperor Liu slowly walked to Anton's position, stepped on Suihua City (Harbin) where the current Anton Governor's Mansion is located, and said: "The current jurisdiction of Anton is very large, and it must be split up. The Changbai Mountain area in the south needs to be handed over to the jurisdiction of Liaodong Province, and Binzhou (Shuangchengzi, Vladivostok area) should also be separated from Andong, and the imperial court will send officials to directly manage it!"

Following Emperor Liu's "handling" of Anton, Liu Xu's brows became more and more wrinkled. The Changbai Mountain area is nothing more than that. There is not much left, so if you give it, you will give it.

This rate is different in Pennsylvania, but currently Anton's only two outlets to the sea, the other is the Tuomen River Estuary (Tumen River Estuary).If you take one, there is still one left, but it happened to lead to Pennsylvania, which made Liu Xu feel pained. After all, lead to Pennsylvania is the best place for development in Anton besides Suihua, as a big man. The most important traffic point for merchants and people to colonize goods in the Northeast, the development of these years has been very fast and very gratifying.

In order to connect Suibin Mansion and also participate in maritime trade, Liu Xu also organized labor to open up a land passage connecting Suihua and Suibin, which can carry bulk goods. Now the construction has started, and Suihua has already repaired 200 square meters. Dolly

Now, Emperor Liu is going to take away Binzhou with a single word, how can Liu Xu feel comfortable in his heart, but he didn't refute for a while, just had a calm face, thinking wildly in his heart.

And Emperor Liu continued to consider: "As for Suihua City, should we leave it to Anton, I?"

Speaking of Suihua City, Liu Xu couldn't hold back any longer. He interrupted Emperor Liu boldly, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, if there is no Suihua, then there is no need for An Dong Kingdom to enfeoff!"

This is a bit harsh and offensive, but Liu Xu has to say, after all, Suihua City is the most elite place in Anton at present, and [-] to [-]% of the income of the Anton Governor's Mansion comes from this place. After the establishment of the Andong Kingdom , I am afraid it is the same, and its importance is even higher.

What's more, this is the site that Liu Xu has worked so hard to manage for 15 years, and his lifeline is tied to him, so he must never give up.In comparison, the issue of leading Pennsylvania is insignificant, even if you know the importance of the sea.

Seeing Liu Xu's tough expression, Emperor Liu didn't take it seriously, smiled, and said, "I know that Suihua has accumulated your painstaking efforts for more than ten years, and building a city like this in Andong is not easy. Easy, how can I deprive you of it!"

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Liu Xu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, came to his senses, considered the tone of the talent just now, bowed quickly, and said with some "fear": "I was eager for a while, my words were inappropriate, I offended Your Majesty, and begged Forgive me!"

Emperor Liu waved his hand, lowered his head and continued to study, and asked casually: "If you have any thoughts or requests, please tell them!"

Now that Emperor Liu has said this, Liu Xu is naturally not polite. According to the previous system of feudalism, once the country is established, the autonomy will certainly increase, but the support from the court will also be greatly reduced. I am afraid that this is the last time to mention it. Need, need support.

Therefore, after a little thought, Liu Xu said, "Your Majesty's rewards in the past have been plentiful, and I dare not be greedy. If An Dong seals the country, I only have four requirements.

First, the governance of Anton is inseparable from the assistance of the officials who went to the border, and the officials under the governor's mansion, I hope to keep it! "

Emperor Liu nodded: "They are your subordinates, but how many people you can keep depends on your means!"

"Secondly, although Anton has been stable in recent years, there has been little chaos and constant harassment, especially the Shiwei people in the north, who have repeatedly harassed and violated the border. Although it is a disease of scabies, it has to be guarded against. Therefore, Anton The garrison, I hope it will belong to An Dong!" Liu Xu said again.

No matter at any time, the military and military affairs are always sensitive. Hearing what Liu Xu said, Emperor Liu immediately frowned.

At present, the nearly [-] garrisons in Anton are under the dual leadership and deployment of the imperial court and the governor's office, but their support is still dominated by the Ministry of War, and their military orders are still controlled by the Privy Council.

These soldiers and horses are still the "property" of the imperial court, and they are still property with violence and authority. Even if Anton founds the country, they cannot be given to Liu Xu in a few words. It's not something that Liu Xu can get his hands on.

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Liu said: "Anton needs to retain a certain amount of military strength, but how to set up Anton's garrison needs to be allocated by the Privy Council. If you have any ideas, you can discuss it with the Privy Council!"

"Yes!" Although he didn't get a gift from Emperor Liu, Liu Xu's goal had been achieved, so he was not disappointed.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xu continued: "Thirdly, the development of Anton has always been limited by the population, especially the population of Han people. I hope that even if Anton establishes the country, the imperial court will continue to liberalize Anton's immigrants. Set up a barrier!"

Hearing what Liu Xu said, Emperor Liu took a deep look at Liu Xu, who was hanging his head slightly, and said slowly, "I still have a consistent attitude on the matter of immigration, and no coercion is allowed. Based on this basic principle, you If the people can be attracted to go as they were back then, how can the imperial court have any reason to block it? Even if Anton founded the country, it is still a Han land, and it still needs to be restrained by the imperial court. As for where the people are, it is not the most important thing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hearing Emperor Liu's statement, Liu Xu immediately expressed his gratitude.

"There's one other thing, let's talk about it together!" Seeing Liu Xu's request like squeezing toothpaste, Emperor Liu became a little impatient, and said

Liu Xu paid homage again: "The development of Anton is inseparable from the hard work of the government and the people, and also cannot be separated from the trade exchanges with various places. For this last item, I hope to keep opening borders and opening markets forever, and encourage business travel.

I had previously planned a road connecting Suihua and Binzhou, and it has already started construction. It is two hundred miles away. Although Binzhou is under the direct control of the imperial court, this road is still of great value in connecting land and sea. I hope it can continue to be built. , I also hope that the imperial court can share part of the road construction funds.”

After Liu Xu said, Emperor Liu thought for a while, and finally uttered a word: "Yes!"

Looking at Liu Xu again, Emperor Liu couldn't help but sigh with emotion from his son's vision. The four points mentioned are the most fundamental and practical matters for An Dongguo.

And this kind of performance can't help but arouse Emperor Liu's emotion again. Not to mention other qualities, at least in terms of work, the eldest son's talents are still very outstanding.

However, there is only one throne, and Emperor Liu has nothing to do, unless the emperor can also take turns.
