Chapter 391: The Great Han Adjustment
Chai Jin's face suddenly showed a look of yearning, and Liu Mingjun said with a little excitement: "Then what if the kingdom is attacked?" β
"The Dahan Navy will protect your safety, of course, there will be a fee, and when the specific time comes, let the Senior Administration Hall and the Iron Blood Hall come up with the charter." Liu Zhenglong said with a smile: "Actually, except for Wang Shizi's stay in the imperial capital before the age of sixteen, the others are completely free. I don't know if you guys have any questions? β
"Will the kingdom be taken back by the Great Han for various reasons?" This problem is what everyone is most concerned about, and if the kingdom that was built with great difficulty was taken away by the imperial court, it would not be unjustly killed.
"It will not be taken back, if it is an enemy of the Han Dynasty, or even a rebellion, the Han Navy will destroy the kingdom, but it will definitely not take back the kingdom for any reason."
Speaking of this, Liu Zhenglong said very domineeringly: "If you are an enemy of the Han Dynasty, you will be destroyed, if you don't understand this iron law, don't build a country overseas." β
This point, Chai Jin and Liu Mingjun are not unacceptable, if the vassal states of all dynasties and dynasties fight against the country of the Son of Heaven, they will be destroyed, which is understandable.
Chai Jin only stabilized his mood at this time, and he said eagerly: "Overseas people are sparsely populated, what should I do if there is no one!" β
"Recruit from the Han Dynasty, a person, pay the same amount of money to the imperial court, as for how much to open to the people, that's your problem. Don't think that the imperial court took advantage of it and asked for the usual money, these people were sent by the Han Navy, so it was considered as a freight. β
"Your Majesty, can these countries expand their area?"
"No, but the new land you find overseas can be sold to the imperial court, which is equivalent to doing business with the imperial court."
"So what industry is we forbidden to do?" Liu Mingjun started from the perspective of a businessman, he knew that doing business was not His Majesty's, so he preemptively struck and was surrounded by His Majesty.
Liu Zhenglong knew that Liu Mingjun would ask like this, so he said: "Firearms, weapons, warships, shipping, and coinage are not allowed, and everything else is okay." β
Firearms, weapons, and warships involve the military, which is understandable to Liu Mingjun and Chai Jin, and the coinage belongs to the Han Dynasty, which is not unacceptable, but the two of them do not understand the fast shipping. The pilgrimage asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, why is the kingdom not allowed to develop by sea, you must know that overseas trade is inseparable from sea." β
"I have allowed you to carry out sea transportation, and without the protection of the Han Navy, what should you do if your ships are attacked by pirates, or by other countries? If there is a tsunami and the boat capsizes, you will bear the damage? If you don't want to pay for the Han Navy, I don't care. β
In fact, there is one thing that Liu Zhenglong did not say, that is, marine insurance, he did not understand that the people below did not understand that the resistance was too great, so it was included in the military expenses and imposed on the kingdom below.
At this moment, Chai Jin and Liu Mingjun have nothing to say. You can't just think about smooth sailing, but also take the risks into account. It seems that it is impossible to get around raising a navy for the Great Han. In fact, everyone knows that the profits of overseas development are huge, and of course they also know that the risks in the early stage are uncontrollable, and perhaps only the Han Empire can resist this risk, and it is natural to pay for the Han Navy.
Liu Mingjun finally asked: "Your Majesty, can the people below buy land, and are there any specific requirements for the founding of the country?" β
"The royal relatives below are the gentry and celebrities, the wealthy and powerful, and the meritorious families, of course, they will be divided into ranks according to the actual situation, from the kingdom, the county, to the city-state, to the pure purchase of land, the local owner, the farmer has requirements, and the specific details have to be studied by the scholars, I don't care, there will be no problem in breaking even next year." Okay, this news, you spread it, in addition, when I talk about the ugly words, the shadow will supervise the whole process, once favoritism and fraud are discovered, the family property will be confiscated, the men will be confiscated, and the women will enter the barracks. The first batch of kingdoms is controlled within five, with no more than 10 counties and no more than 40 city-states, and the second batch will not be opened for five years. Moreover, the kingdom also has to pay a deposit of one million to the imperial court, 300,000 for the county and 100,000 for the city-state. All the construction is out by itself, and everyone can follow the Han Navy to go to sea to investigate, and there is no need to make a decision in a hurry, but the imperial court will not return the deposit. Okay, one of the two of you is responsible for policy interpretation, and the other is responsible for collection. β
Pay a deposit of one million to be eligible to go to sea for investigation, but what it looks like outside is still unknown, but the temptation of overseas statehood is too great, just imagine how many people don't want to be kings, this is not the county king of the imperial court, you must know that the county king of the imperial court is just a title, and it cannot be hereditary. This kingdom is the industry of children and grandchildren, and if anyone misses it, they don't know where they will regret it, and the second batch will not be opened in five years, and who knows what the market will be in five years.
No matter how much money it costs to buy land, the security deposit is astronomical for most people. However, although the deposit is not refundable, it can be used as the cost of buying land, for example, among the one million deposits, the kingdom can be established without the final establishment of the kingdom, and the remaining 700,000 can be used as the cost of land purchase.
When it is time to pay the money, you will never know how rich the big men are, and how much energy these wealthy families have accumulated.
At the beginning, the scholars didn't take it seriously, but when the silver tickets of the gold bank were opened one by one, these scholars were dumbfounded, not to mention anything else, there were more than a dozen of them who paid one million, nearly a hundred who paid 300,000, and as for those who paid 100,000, it was simply going to break their heads, and these people strongly called on the imperial court to open up the quota.
This is both expected and unexpected. Liu Zhenglong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, estimated that there would not be many kingdoms, that is, the Chai family, the Liu family, plus two or three families, which is good, that is to say, five places are enough. As for the nearly 100 counties and countries, it is normal, you must know that the military affairs of the Han Dynasty are established, and the generals' military exploits on the battlefield can be exchanged for huge wealth. For example, Yang Zaixing killed Liu Yanqing in a battle and received a reward of 300,000 yuan, which was unimaginable in the Song Dynasty and even in all dynasties. Yue Fei received meritorious service from Yunzhou and was rewarded with more than two million yuan. Just for the capture of Zhao Gou, the total bounty exceeded 10 million. There is no upper limit to the bonus of the Han Dynasty, of course, the money is still in the gold bank in the end, and all that is taken away is a deposit certificate, if all of them are withdrawn, the Han Empire will not be able to fill this hole if it is sold.
The Chai family, the Liu family was the first to know the news, Liu Mingjun, Chai Jin handed over the deposit of one million as soon as possible, for them, no matter what the overseas environment is, it is a good thing to be able to build a country, and the money is worth it.
The four major families, the Pan family, the Cao family, the Gao family, and the Shi family, also paid the deposit as soon as possible. Followed by the Taiyuan Wang family, the Nandu Qian family, seeing that the people in front of them all handed over the original hesitant folding family, Xiang family, Zheng family also handed over. The most unexpected thing for His Majesty is Li Renzhong, the former regent of Western Xia and the father of Li Yunluo, the imperial concubine of the Han Dynasty, who also paid one million guan, which is a bit interesting. However, Liu Zhenglong can also understand this old man, after all, Li Ailong, the son of Western Xia, has grown up and is in charge of the court, and the Empress Dowager Yelu Nanxian of Western Xia has settled in the imperial capital, in this case, the former regent is a little embarrassed.
It is only at this time that we can see how rich the people of the Han are, the Ling family in Jiangnan also paid one million, and Ling Zhen, who almost single-handedly created the Shenwei Artillery Bureau, has become the head of the Ling family, and has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty.
So many families have to flee from the Han, but the mentality of each family is different. The four major families fled far away, they were frightened by the dragon Gongsun Sheng of Zhuyun, they didn't feel like leaving, they didn't want to stay away from the political center, but the reorganization of the army, countless generals who were involved with the four major families withdrew from the front-line combat unit Longxiang Army, and transferred to the Tiger Ben Army of the local security force as a soldier and horse supervisor, which is equivalent to saying that they have lost control of the army, and in this case, they smell the smell of danger.
In fact, the four major families rushed to flee, and they were still sending a breath to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, that is, they were loyal to the Han and His Majesty. No more support for the crown prince, no involvement in royal affairs, no involvement in the army.
It's a good thing that the rich are enthusiastic about buying land, but all the brains are gone, which is an invisible damage to the big man. Especially in the Han Empire, where the military is established, the four major families are the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty, and all of a sudden departure will cause turmoil in the army, will cause a series of unstable factors, and will be over-interpreted by careerists, obviously this is not what the Emperor of the Han Dynasty wants to see.
In the end, when the national abbot Pan Xu was 70 years old, Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, together with the queen Pan Yun, the imperial concubine Pan Jin, the crown prince Liu Haotian, and the ninth son Liu Muyue went to the Pan Mansion to celebrate the old man's birthday.
The Son of Heaven came to celebrate his birthday, which is the supreme glory, but the queen, the imperial concubine and the crown prince, and the ninth prince are here, which gives too many people infinite reverie, and the news was announced ten days in advance.
The Cao family, the Shi family, and the Gao family also began to hold family meetings in full swing to discuss how to deal with it. After all, the Son of Heaven has already made a gesture, and if he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
Yes, the four major families actually have the intention of buying land overseas to test His Majesty, and vaguely also have the meaning of forcing the palace, after all, no one wants to stay away from the political center.
Now the Son of Heaven is going to the Pan family, but the steps of the army's rectification have no intention of stopping, which makes the Cao family, the Shi family, and the Gao family feel even more uneasy, for fear that it will really go against the dragon scales. It was His Majesty who once had an oath to never live up to the four major families and share wealth and prosperity, but there is no problem under the ass of the four major families, even if His Majesty has no ideas. It is also impossible to stand up to the civil official clique constantly nitpicking, and once those crimes are announced to the world, His Majesty will not be able to protect them.
In the end, the heads of the Cao family, the Shi family, and the Gao family also participated in Pan Xu's birthday banquet, and they wanted to show their attitude to His Majesty that they were willing to give up all power in the army, and as for the overseas purchase of the kingdom, they would not cause trouble to His Majesty, and would do it in accordance with the unified plan of the imperial court.
The monarch and the minister talked about the old for a long time, and in the end, His Majesty recognized that the four major families had a special existence in the army to ensure the interests of the four major families. The four major families also promised to cut off ties with the army, and the children were more engaged in civilian work, serving in the local area and in the imperial court, and withdrawing the first-line troops in batches, the Longxiang army, and as for the Han army, they were ready to be called at any time.
The most concerned issues of the four major families have basically settled, and Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, emphasized that he would not shake the position of the prince, and at the same time affirmed the performance of the prince in prison, and at the same time the prince married the daughter of the Shi family as the princess, and the nine princes married the daughter of the Cao family. At the same time, a daughter of the Cao family, the Shi family, and the Gao family was accepted into the palace. The fourth prince married the daughter of the Gao family, and the third prince married the daughter of the Shi family.
In this generation, marriage is undoubtedly the best way to win people's hearts, even Liu Zhenglong from later generations is not immune to vulgarity, but before he married beautiful women to win over civil and military officials, and now his sons have gradually grown up and have reached the age of marriage.
The four major families are the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty, and they cannot be shaken in a short period of time, and the knowledge of the four families has provided great help to the army to recuperate, and the military generals who are deeply involved in the four major families have withdrawn one after another, some have served as military and horse supervisors in the local area, some have served as civilians, and some have retired from the army. For retired generals, the imperial court gave economic subsidies.
The army repair was in full swing, laying a solid foundation for the next decisive battle between the Han and Jin states. The generals who led the troops in the front-line troops took turns to study at the Han Royal Military Academy, and the Han Emperor personally taught, although Liu Zhenglong's class was only one session a week, which had already made these generals excited, which showed that they were protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven and would no longer be oppressed by civilian officials. Of course, the military ideas taught by the Son of Heaven also benefited everyone immensely.
In the past, the Han army and the Jin army fought mainly on defense, and most of them won by strategy, but in the future, the Han army will be the main attack, and the attack will be the mainstay, so it can be said that it is necessary to kill Huanglongfu in one go, so the whole strategic adjustment is of great significance.
The adjustment of the army this time is also for the strategic purpose of capturing the Jin State, and all the work is centered on the capture of the Jin State, and the adjustment of the army is not only the adjustment of the generals, but also the adjustment of the soldiers and the types of troops.
The Han army was finally reorganized into 300,000 Longxiang troops to participate in the war, 200,000 Huben troops to defend the place, and 100,000 navies to participate in the war. For the first time, the Han Navy will participate in a large-scale battle to destroy the country, and a giant warship of 30,000 stones will appear for the first time, and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty will personally name the Sea Dragon. The navy is the most powerful branch of the Han army, because the Jin army is almost blank, to put it bluntly, it can only be passively beaten at sea, and for the powerful Han navy, it is definitely a nightmare for the Jin country.
