Chapter 407: The Seeds of Colonialism

But Zhang Qian, a person who is too bookish, says that he is a humble gentleman, that is a good word, and a nerd if he is not good. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info A gentleman can be deceived in a way. If he is allowed to go out, he will inevitably be bullied, such as the Huns who have been trapped for thirteen years.

What was needed in the Age of Discovery? It's the spirit of adventure, it's the spirit of pirates. It's the mentality of being ordered to plunder. Xue Qing decided to plant a seed of savage in his heart, and said to him: "To explore the unknown world, in addition to looking at the customs and customs, we must also communicate with each other. For example, if a place is deserted, but rich in gold, we can send people to mine it. For example, if there is a place where the land is fertile, we can send people to cultivate it. If there are people in some places, they don't produce like the Huns, but only know how to plunder. We're going to have to find a way to get their resources back. You know that? ”

Zhang Qian nodded: "Well, in such a big place, there must be a lot of rich products." If you take it back and use it, of course, it's very good. ”

It's useless to talk too much. Xue Qing could not ask Zhang Qian to kill the Indians like the Puritans and prisoners exiled to the Americas. But let him know why.

Since Zhang Qian said that he would give up his public office and follow Xue Qing to the world, Xue Qing appropriately opened up some heavenly messages to him. Curious baby began 100,000 whys.

Xue Qing was a little tired of coping, so she handed it over to Tianbao, as long as it did not involve the organizational structure and secrets of Tiandao, the knowledge of Tiandao was all about it except for the military industry. made Zhang Qianlai not go back to work in the other garden. The emperor sent someone to ask why he hadn't gone back. He declared that negotiations with the crown prince had reached an impasse. To stay and help Xue Qing.

For a few days, he didn't pay attention to Narito. Xue Qing stayed in the study, answering Zhang Qian's 100,000 whys without a sentence. While thinking carefully, where did the money come from?

If it is in the future life, this problem is very simple, with the meaning of the head in your hand, go to the bank, find the real estate developer, find the big enterprise, and solve the financial matter in minutes. But now there are only two kinds of rich people, one is the powerful, and the second is the local tycoon.

If you don't think of a way from these two, then you can only make up your mind from the heads of the people. Although the common people are poor, they have a large base, and the sum of two five-baht dollars per person is almost hundreds of millions of dollars. But Emperor Wu's previous monopoly of salt, iron and wine and the right to collect and cast have already exploited the people very much, and Xue Qing really can't attack the people anymore.

What's more, the stall is large, and if you have to ask every citizen for money, the workload and cycle cannot be solved overnight. Maybe the money has been obtained, and the battle has already been fought.

Come to think of it, there are still only the powerful and powerful.

But Emperor Wu has always had a particularly tough attitude towards Haoqiang, either he will collect heavy taxes, or he will move you away without saying a word, move to the mausoleum, or move to Hexi and Shuofang. So they are actually very resistant to the imperial court.

The drum also needs to be hammered, and the troubled times must be re-rampant. Anyway, it is the emperor's country, and the emperor wants to squeeze it. The old lady is not corrupt, but if she is exploited badly, I don't care about the sequelae.

Just when Xue Qing was plotting to exploit the wallets of the rich people across the country, Zhang Qian was tirelessly absorbing new knowledge. Li Tuobici, who has not heard from her for a few days, is a little lonely.

Black doesn't mention white. I didn't come to invite her to a banquet or a garden. Play. It's just delicious and hungry to serve, and you can play wherever you want, as long as you don't go down the mountain. Want to meet Bo Wanghou? I'm sorry, Hou Ye went back to Weiyang Palace. Want to meet Princess Wuling? I'm sorry, Your Highness went to the lobby of the Shaofu in Chang'an City to sit on duty. Want to meet a hussar general? I'm sorry that I went back to work in the shogunate.

The little feels a little bad when she smashes it, is it that the lion is scaring people with his big mouth? You say you too, I offer a high price, don't you know the counteroffer? Is it so honest?

I asked the maid several times to see Xueqing, but I didn't get any response. The maid only said that His Highness was busy in the city, and you will talk about it later.

The little smashed into a canary under house arrest in the annex. can't fly away, and there is no stage to listen to her singing. It can only wilt to one side.

Xue Qing listened to Ruhua's report with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile: "This is in a hurry?" Then you asked someone to pretend that they accidentally revealed the news of the Northern Expedition. Let's see how she reacts. ”

On this day, Li Tuo Bici, who had eaten and slept and slept, decided to go to the garden to relax, and did not let the maid of the other courtyard follow, only took his maid and translator. Head to the back garden to see the chrysanthemums.

The chrysanthemums are blooming brightly, and Xue Qing doesn't like the aroma of chrysanthemums, but if you don't plant chrysanthemums, then the garden will look a little depressed this season. I had to plant some sporadically.

The climate and soil of the Han region are very different from those of the Western Regions, and what Li Tuo Bici has seen and heard along the way is also very novel. When he was visiting the garden, he heard a few slight conversations behind the rockery in front of him, and Li Tuo Ci stopped moving forward. Stopped behind the rockery, and was about to turn around and walk back, when she heard a few words but her heart tightened, so she stopped moving and stood there listening.

A female voice behind the rockery whispered, "Aha, you're really lazy here." Look at me if I don't tell Sister Ruhua to go. ”

Another female voice said: "Don't, good sister, Your Highness has been busy in Chang'an City these days, and I don't have time to come to the other garden, so I'm a little more relaxed." Your Highness is not here, who is it for you to be so diligent in sprinkling and sweeping all day long? It's better to wait for His Highness to come back and then work hard. ”

The first female voice said, "Oh? His Royal Highness is not in the other garden, why did he go back to Chang'an City to be busy, didn't His Highness say that he didn't care about the government. ”

Another female voice said: "Can you care, it's going to be a war, our marquis and the general have to go to the front, His Royal Highness is too lazy to take care of other people's affairs, but can't he do his best to help with his husband and father's affairs." That's why I went back. ”

The first female voice said, "Are you going to fight?" It's really fake, doesn't it mean that the Huns have been expelled from Monan, is it that which prince wants to rebel? ”

Another female voice said: "What's the matter, it's still the Huns." Mo Nan was gone, so he chased Mo Bei to fight and beat the water dogs. You are from the south, but I don't know that we people from the north, I saw the Huns come to plunder when I was a child. It's horrible. The emperor wants to send the general and our marquis to go on an expedition to Mobei to completely defeat the Xiongnu, so that they will not dare to plunder again for thousands of generations. ”

The first female voice said: "It's so far, I'm afraid it won't take thousands of miles, and it's all desert, how can you fight this." (To be continued.) )
