Chapter 345
Therefore, the most important thing for the Han family now is to use this gap to train the Han family's cavalry corps.
It laid the foundation for the Han family to go out of the fortress and fight with the Xiongnu in the future.
And today's Xiongnu Shan Yu and military minister Shan Yu, although a year ago, led the army to attack the Han border, but after that, it seems that they have changed their minds about wanting to go south to confront the Han Dynasty. Instead, he wanted to march to the Western Regions.
Therefore, this is an excellent opportunity for the Han family to vigorously develop the economy and develop animal husbandry.
After dealing with the court meeting for such a long time on behalf of his father, Liu Rong naturally had also seen the report submitted by the imperial servant about the implementation of Ma Zheng.
At this moment, among the more than 30 horse farms in the northern counties of the Han family, with Lang as the court supervisor and 30,000 officials and slaves raising horses, there are already nearly 200,000 usable horses. There are also six stables near Chang'an, each with as many as 10,000 horses.
It can already equip more than 100,000 cavalry, of course, this is far from enough to fight out of the fortress.
But there was already a basis for the formation of a large cavalry corps.
According to the report, Liu Yu fought the last large-scale battle between the Han and the Huns, and at the time of the Battle of Mobei, Liu Yu equipped Huo Quai's corps with nearly 240,000 horses.
Those are almost all war horses in captivity in the pastures of the Han family after the implementation of horse politics at the time of Emperor Jing.
Therefore, the horse policy implemented by the Han family is essentially very necessary.
However, now that he has come here to see this Xiongnu envoy, Liu Rong certainly has his own purpose.
A little more understanding of one's enemies will also be useful in the future battle with the Huns.
"The noble envoy came to my Han family, and Lone naturally wanted to entertain the noble envoy well."
After speaking, he said again: "Look at the clothes made by your envoy wearing the silk of my Han family, but you like silk very much? ”。
Han Yi dared to wear clothes made of silk so blatantly, all because he came to the Han family.
If he was still in the land of the Huns, he would not dare to do so.
Although he became the son-in-law of the Huyan family and became a Xiongnu nobleman, within the Huns, there are still many people who look down on people like Han Yi.
When he came to the Han Dynasty this time, the emperor was far away, and the people who accompanied him were all his personal followers, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything.
Hearing this, Han Yi's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he was overjoyed.
Before he could say anything, the prince of the Han Dynasty was about to come and bring silk to him.
But he said: "Silk, of course the foreign minister likes ............."
Seeing him say this, Liu Rongdang said: "In this case, I will give your envoy 500 brocades as gifts."
The last time Nahu Yanqu came to Han, Liu Rong was just an ordinary prince, so he was naturally a poor jingle.
At this time, he is already the prince of the Han family, and he still has a business in his hand.
Five hundred brocades are certainly not worth mentioning for Liu Rong.
When Han Yi heard this, his heart was naturally too beautiful.
But he immediately got up and saluted Liu Rongxing and said, "Foreign minister, how dare you accept a gift from His Royal Highness the Prince."
Seeing his face like this, Liu Rong couldn't wait to be on the spot, so he pulled out the matching sword on his waist and cut off his head.
But I still have to smile and say: "The two Han and Hun families are brothers' countries, and your country's single is the son of heaven of my Han family, and it is commensurate with brothers.
Liu Rong's words came out, and Han Yi also laughed on the spot, and said with another salute: "The Han and Hungarian families naturally want to be married forever!" ”。
Han Yi's acting skills are still good, acting as if it were real, wishing the Han and Hungarian families eternal marriage.
However, Liu Rong is of course very clear about the Huns' always face, how can they maintain a long-term peace with the Han Dynasty.
Speaking of which, the Huns are still somewhat comparable to the Wa people.
They are all extremely arrogant and arrogant, believing that they are invincible in the world.
One moment to hit this, the other to harass that.
And when it really encounters an enemy that it can't defeat at all, it will immediately change its nature.
Immediately after being defeated, he will kneel and lick the victor and willingly be his licking dog.
After the defeat in World War II, the Japanese state changed its personality overnight.
Even the people of the United States did not expect that after only one night, the Japanese people who were still dancing with their teeth and claws a few days ago would become so obedient and obedient, they are even more dog-legged than dog-legs.
It's like a different person.

And at this moment, in Han Yi's heart, he already has a certain understanding of the prince of the Han Dynasty in front of him.
I just feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very simple-minded
After that, Liu Rong smiled slightly and said: "My Han family and your lord are about brothers, and the two countries have an alliance outside the Great Wall, the country of bow hunting, single in the governance, within the Great Wall, the room of the crown belt, the rule of my Han family, including many rare plants in the world, solid this, my Han family of course wants to know and know, the tens of thousands of miles of grassland and boundless country under the rule of Shan Yu, whether there are some special plants that can be cultivated, which is not available in my Han family."
Liu Rong's words seem to be praising the Han family's vast land and resources, of course, as a person of later generations, Liu Rong certainly knows that the Han family still has many things that are not available.
Only like the Qing Dynasty, I regard myself as the Heavenly Empire, and think that all the things under the heavens are all in my Qing Dynasty, and all the advanced scientific instruments are all strange and ingenious.
In the world, only the books of Sage Confucius can solve the root of all problems.
The emperor of the Qing Dynasty, of course, was not unable to see the usefulness of things outside.
For example, Kang Mazi, with a few foreigners, learned a lot of Western mathematics and astronomy.
When it comes to ancient mathematics, before the 16th century, China's mathematical achievements were among the least in the world.
The degree of development of mathematics can also be said to reflect the degree of development of a civilization from another face.
From the day of its inception, mathematics has shown its efficacy in solving the problems that are posed by the practical needs of human beings. Mathematics such as commercial navigation, calendrical calculations, the construction of bridges, temples, palaces, weapons, and fortifications often provide satisfactory solutions to all these problems.
The most prominent influence of mathematics on human material civilization is reflected in the relationship between the industrial revolution that can fundamentally change the material lifestyle of human beings, and there have been three major industrial revolutions in human history, and the main technologies of these three industrial revolutions are directly or indirectly related to the application of new theories and methods of mathematics.
Rankang Mazi himself learned these things, but he forbade others to learn these things.
Its essence, of course, is because of the selfishness of its rulers.
Just kidding, if the people of the entire Qing Dynasty know what "democracy and science" are, then what else do you want the emperor to do?
Only by constantly instilling in the people at the bottom, our Great Qing Dynasty has a vast land and resources, and constantly ignores the people, can he maintain his own rule

After hearing Liu Rong's words, Han Yi said indifferently: "Although the Han family can be regarded as a vast land, but the sun and the moon shine on my lord, and the single made by the rivers is even more vast, how can there be no Han family without things."
Liu Rong had received news from the land of the Xiongnu that the Huns had conquered the entire Western Regions at this time. The Western Regions are divided into north and south by the Tianshan Mountains, and most of the people in the country live around the Tarim Basin.
In the early years of the Han Dynasty, there were "36 countries in the Western Regions": in the southern edge, there were Loulan, Mushroom, Jimo, Khotan, Shache, etc., which were known as the "Southern Dao Kingdoms"; On the northern edge, there are Gushi, Yuli, Yanqi, Qiuzi, Wensu, Gumo, and Shule, which are known as the "Northern Dao States". In addition, the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains has the front and back pu forehead and the east and west and so on. They are small in size and are mostly desert oases, but also have valleys or basins.
However, the population of these countries is not large, usually 20,000 or 30,000 people, the largest is 80,000 people, and the smaller ones are only 1,200,000 people. The people of the country are engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. In addition to the production of cereals, there are places such as grapes and alfalfa, the best forage, in some places. Animal husbandry includes donkeys, horses, and camels.
In addition, there are some minerals such as jade, copper, and iron, and some local residents have known how to use copper and iron to cast weapons. Although the countries in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains are very small, most of them have castles. There are official offices and armies that make up a large proportion of the population below the king, but above history,
In history, before Liu Yu sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, the power of the Xiongnu nobles had just extended to the Western Regions, and they had set up servants and captains in Yanqi and other countries to levy heavy taxes on various countries, "tax the countries, take the livestock for Yan", and enslave and exploit these small countries.
Now, for some reason, the Huns have expanded their sphere of influence to the Western Regions in advance.
However, among these small countries in the Western Regions, there are some items that the Han family needs to know, such as the sweaty BMW that is abundant in Dawan, Liu Rong has long been in his favorite.
For Liu Rong, the most important thing is not the sweat and blood BMW, but the forage he feeds the horses - alfalfa grass, alfalfa grass is what modern people call four-leaf clover.
However, it is of some incoherent value.
Alfalfa, also known as alfalfa, has been the most important cultivated forage grass in the world since ancient times, and is known as the "king of forage". Originated in Asia Minor, Transcaucasia and Central Asia, and the history of alfalfa grass cultivation in China can be traced back to the third year of Yuan Shuo, when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions again to introduce China, and then it grew in the Han family, which played an important role in the development of Han animal husbandry.
It's just that at this time, in the eyes of the Huns, it may be just an ordinary pile of pasture for cattle and sheep, but for the Han family, which urgently needs to develop animal husbandry at this time, it is a vital thing.
He also said that one person's garbage may be another person's treasure, and what Liu Rong wants most at this moment is, of course, to be able to get alfalfa grass from this Han Yi's hands.
Liu Rong's words stimulated Han Yi, his ancestor, to abandon his identity as a Han and flee to the land of the Xiongnu.
After so many years, he finally got mixed into the upper echelons of the Huns, but now he is despised by the Han Dynasty, how can Han Yi stand it.
