The Han Navy Division set sail victoriously, this time mainly to the east to conquer Liu Yu, to be honest, when Liu Yu established the pseudo-Qi, he was already doomed to be wiped out, although when the Han army attacked Shandong, this guy escaped, but the escape was only a temporary survival, and the Han Dynasty would not allow such a regime to be suspended overseas.

In the East China Sea these years, Liu Yu's life is very comfortable, you know, in the East China Sea these island countries, the local people worship Han culture very much, they in the Song Dynasty, began the so-called preferred plan, that is, to send a large number of island girls to the Great Song Dynasty to borrow seeds, as if pregnant with the children of the Song people, you can be superior, you can change your fate. It can be said that during the Song Dynasty, the people of the island country worshiped the Han culture to the extreme, almost to the point of worship.

Liu Yu's army was indeed beaten by the Han army in Shandong and fled in embarrassment, but their army arrived in the island country, almost invincible, and completely conquered the island country in just a few years, and dozens of tribes, large and small, became the king of the island country. There is a scarcity of supplies, but there are a lot of silver mines, which brings great wealth.

You must know that during the Song Dynasty, the most important currency in the country was copper coins, and silver was basically in the hands of the lady, and in fact it was rarely circulated. In film and television dramas, silver is used for consumption at every turn, it is all nonsense, there is no historical common sense, and it was not until the middle of the Ming Dynasty that silver began to circulate in the market as a common currency.

The Han Dynasty fought for many years, requiring a large amount of wealth as support, coupled with the financial war against the Jin State at the beginning, the mainstream currency of the Han Empire, which controlled the silver channel, began to gradually become silver, and the proportion of silver exchanged for copper money became higher and higher.

After the Han Dynasty destroyed the Jin State, it announced that silver would be the main currency in circulation, and gradually replaced copper coins. Silver replaced copper coins as the most official currency, mainly to better promote the development of commerce. However, this provides a shortcut to the riches of unscrupulous traders.

The same is currency, copper coins rarely appear in the private forging, the first forging is almost complicated, the second forging profit is not very high, after all, the price of brass is expensive, the practicality is not strong. If the proportion of brass is reduced, the color of the copper coin will be poor, easy to be found, and the liquidity will not be high. Third, falsifying the death penalty is a felony, and the risk is too high.

Silver is different, the forging technology of silver ingots is relatively simple, plus smuggling silver from the East China Sea, the cost is very low, you must know that one or two silver can be exchanged for 1000 copper coins, this profit is quite objective. Under the huge profits, some people are willing to risk killing their heads to smuggle silver and make money privately, which has a great impact on the Han economic system. I can't see it on weekdays, but when I was fighting a war and needed a lot of materials to support it, the problem broke out.

In fact, there has always been a matter of silver smuggling, and the private coinage has long been there, at that time, the Son of Heaven Liu Zhenglong did not have any intention of punishment, that is, to let the silver flow into the Han Dynasty, let the people mint money, just to know who was involved, looking for an opportunity to catch it all, and then confiscate all the silver.

At the beginning, Liu Yu's two daughters entered the palace in exchange for a chance to live. But no one expected that this incident would eventually become the source of silver smuggling.

In the Han Dynasty, it is the Jin Xing Bar that controls the national economy, which is the private industry of Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, and holds the economic lifeline of the whole country. However, the duty of monitoring the lifeblood of the national economy has been added to the duties. Now that silver smuggling is frenzied, the gold bank has been doing monitoring, but it has not taken measures.

At the same time that the Han Navy set sail to eliminate Liu Yu's regime, the domestic crackdown on silver smuggling also kicked off. When the crisis came, Liu Yan and Liu Yun, the two sisters, couldn't sit still, although they were stunning, but there were three thousand beauties in the harem, and it was not easy to stand out from the encirclement and be favored by the Son of Heaven. You must know that the Han Palace is constantly expanding, and there are constantly beautiful women entering the palace.

Liu Yan and Liu Yun fell out of favor, and the more reason for getting it was not that there were three thousand beauties in the harem, nor that Liu Zhenglong liked the new and hated the old, the most important thing was that Zhao Fujin and other emperors of the original Great Song Dynasty, the imperial concubines were too large, and they hated Liu Yu, a traitor, and transferred their hatred to Liu Yan, and Liu Yun checked the sisters. The resentment was very deep, and in this case, the two sisters finally embarked on the road of selling silver.

Money can fill the empty heart, at least Liu Yan, Liu Yun is like this, the wealth of the two sisters is skyrocketing, and they are occasionally playing fake phoenixes, it can be said that they are having fun, and their lives are very comfortable.

When the fake phoenix begged for a phoenix, when the sound came, Liu Zhenglong was very angry, he didn't expect that there would be this kind of hatred in his harem, and he broke into the door in a fit of rage, disturbing the two beauties on the bed, punishment, punishment.

If this is the punishment, Liu Yan and Liu Yun, the two sisters, would rather be punished every day.

Maybe it has been too long since they have been irrigated, and the two sisters have done everything they can to play the real upside down and please this man who has not come to spoil them for several years.

What happened in the palace, outsiders will never know, Liu Yan and Liu Yun finally handed over the list, and all the people involved in the silver smuggling were not spared, and all of them were arrested.

At the same time that 100 million taels of silver entered the treasury, the sailors of the Han Dynasty had already entered the scope of operations. This time it was Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun who led the team to go on the expedition, this is the last time to go on the expedition, this time the two brothers also brought the children Zhang Ruoyu and Zhang Ruoxiao over, to put it bluntly, it is to pave the way for the children and escort them. This is also the reason why Liu Zhenglong let the two brothers fight, that is, the old one took the younger one, successfully took the East China Sea Islands, and destroyed Liu Yu.

100 million taels of silver, this number is indeed to make the emperor Liu Zhenglong, the son of heaven Liu Haotian was shocked, in the shock at the same time, suddenly realized that if silver as a currency, then the future will be endless, once there are uncontrollable factors, then the economy of the Han Dynasty will suffer a catastrophe.

What to do, at this time, Liu Hao, the son of heaven, realized that he still had a long way to go, and wanted to be a generation of Ming Jun and be praised by future generations, but he was still far away. In this country, I can't play it by myself, and many problems are inseparable from the escort of my father. It was only at this time that Liu Hao realized how stupid it was to want to kick out his father and make his own decisions.

Liu Zhenglong looked at the Son of Heaven who was kneeling on the ground, his face full of shame, he sighed and said: "The emperor knows the eternal things, and he knows the gains and losses. The dynastic succession of successive dynasties is largely related to the Son of Heaven's lack of control of power distribution and checks and balances. After all, the Son of Heaven is a person, and it is difficult for him to support a country alone in terms of energy and ability, so knowing people and being good has become an ability that an excellent emperor must have. A high concentration of power in the hands of the Son of Heaven will result in the inability to take care of all aspects, resulting in the poor functioning of the state apparatus, which in turn will lead to administrative inefficiency, and eventually lead to the collapse of the state. However, excessive decentralization of power will cause excessive power of the ministers, which will affect the king, and even control the dynasty, seek to usurp the throne, and eventually bring about the downfall of the dynasty. Cutting a cake is a big science. No emperor can handle the relationship between the two perfectly, which is why I have always emphasized the iron law of the Great Han. ”

To be honest, Liu Zhenglong himself has no experience in governance, and he is not very able to see through the rise and fall of the dynasty, but what he can see is the summary of the fall of the dynasty by later generations.

There is no perfect dynasty, there is no perfect emperor, only perfect laws, Liu Zhenglong knows that he can't bring back some things in the future as they are, he can only imperceptibly little by little, and finally everyone comes together and fights for honor. He said abruptly: "If everything is done in accordance with the iron laws of the Han Dynasty, not only will it not cause a big disaster, but it will also make these officials understand that the code of conduct is bound by it, then the entire Han Dynasty will be like a machine that is telling and running every day, and you, the emperor, will be much more relaxed." ”

It sounds easier said than done, you must know that since ancient times, you can't punish doctors, and now you want the Son of Heaven to break the law and commit the same crime as the common people, which makes the scholars and doctors embarrassed, not to mention the civil and military officials, even Liu Haotian, the Son of Heaven, can't accept it. There is obviously a process in this, and in this long time, there will be countless people who will defy the law and eventually embark on the point of no return.

Liu Zhenglong's words are not too profound, he knows that his son is already the emperor, and he can't point fingers at the court, he must let the other party take the initiative to accept it, not forcibly indoctrinate it.

"Emperor, do you know the difference between Shen Bu Harm in the Warring States Period and Shang Ying's reforms?"

Although he hates iron and steel, Liu Zhenglong still wants to influence the thoughts of the Son of Heaven as much as possible, so that his son can become a generation of Ming Jun, who can be famous through the ages and admired by thousands of people.

"The child is stupid, and he is afraid that he will not speak well."

Liu Haotian didn't dare to show off in front of his father, but after all, he was a generation of kings, so how could he not know anything. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Maybe the foundations of the two are different, and the kings they meet are different. Shin's change only improved the combat effectiveness of the South Korean army, but in fact did not improve the overall strength of South Korea. The Shang Dynasty's reform was more thorough, and it was realized from all aspects to enrich the country and strengthen the army. ”

To be honest, Liu Haotian was not interested in the affairs of the pre-Qin era at all, and he did not seriously comprehend it. It's not that he doesn't pay attention to it, but that the literati of all dynasties and dynasties only knew about Confucius, Mencius and other Confucian masters in the pre-Qin period, but in fact, they didn't pay attention to Shang Ying, Shen Buxian, and these Legalists at all.

Liu Zhenglong knew that many things could not be forced, and he said lightly: "Shen does not harm more things and emphasizes the rule of man, what is needed is a relaxed environment, a wise king, in fact, this is fantasy and unrealistic." Shang Ying emphasized the legal system and governing the country according to law, so there was Yu Lie of the Sixth Emperor of Qin Shi Huang, and finally unified the six countries. The Han Dynasty does not need to be governed by people, because you can't make every generation of kings a Ming monarch, and you can give a relaxed environment for civil and military officials. The Song Dynasty, why it was so prosperous and eventually fell is this reason. The iron law of the Han Dynasty is the code of conduct of the Han Dynasty from the Son of Heaven to the people of Limin. If everyone acts according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, then even if the king is incompetent, the state apparatus can still run at high speed. Great Han, you must eliminate the traces of me as much as possible, my shadow, why I abdicated at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, because I don't want you, the son of heaven, to live in my shadow all the time. ”

"Erchen knows it's wrong."

"You don't know, I know you're still haunted by the affairs of the king. It's not that I don't have room for people. But I want to tell you a truth through this matter, that is, there must be only one voice on some issues, and another voice must be eradicated, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”

Liu Haotian, the son of heaven, was unconvinced, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only bow his head and remain silent.

Hey, it seems that it won't work if you can't make up your mind, Liu Zhenglong continued: "There is a person who bought a flock of oriole birds, and the call is pleasant. But one day the owner put a very big bird in the birdcage, but the cry is very ugly, and then you can no longer hear the melodious cry of the oriole, you can only hear the piercing call, do you know what is going on? ”

"Erchen has heard a little that this big, ugly bird is called a strange mouth, and when other birds call, it will suppress the calls of other birds with ugly calls. Over time, the other birds stopped calling. ”

"That strange mouth is your father-in-law, he manipulated various newspapers, wantonly made black materials, wantonly attacked your brother, attacked the prince of the Han Dynasty, important ministers, and even insinuated to my head. If this continues, there is still any need for the Han newspaper's existence, which is smoky and miasma, so that those with lofty ideals dare not and cannot publish articles in the newspaper. Once the time comes, you, the emperor, will come to an end. Don't underestimate the newspaper, he can prosper the country, but also destroy the country. You remember a sentence, you are the owner of the bird, what kind of bird to raise, what kind of song to sing, you should have your own point. However, you remember, as long as the Han is a hundred birds and a hundred birds, he doesn't need to worry about other people's people. ”

At this time, the national abbot hit the muzzle, Liu Zhenglong's methods were a bit excessive, but the actual effect was very good, only by doing so, can the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty gradually become familiar with the laws of the Han Dynasty, which is very important to everyone.

Liu Zhenglong did this to erase his influence on the Han to the greatest extent, erase his own imprint, and prevent Liu Haotian from living in his shadow, and in the future, the rest of his life will be used to expand the territory for the Han Dynasty. In the future, the Han Dynasty will be established according to the law, not a civilian world, nor a military country, but a country based on the law and build the largest legal Han Empire.
