often heard Zhang Yue's words, but suddenly shed tears inexplicably.

Before he came, he had envisioned countless ways of conversation.

There is a dialogue mode in which the other party has a haughty demeanor, and there is also a conversation method in which the other party pretends to be close.

But he never imagined such a situation!

Recognize him and his family's bloodline from the beginning!

even reproached him for 'forgetting his ancestors'!

This made Chang Wen choke.

He remembered his father and grandfather......

Grandfather Chang Sheng served Tang Weng, and his father Chang Man served Sima Xiangru, making cattle and horses, running forward and walking, hoping to make the Han people recognize that the Dian Kingdom and the people around the Dian Kingdom were not barbarians, but Zhuxia, and Han people.

Pity......

The arrogant people of the Han Dynasty never looked down on their poor relatives.

Although they admit that the Dian royal family is a descendant of the Chu royal family.

But......

"Zhuxia into Yi Di is Yi Di, Zhuang Ji into Yunnan, so far it has been nearly two hundred years, its vulgar barbarians, its hair and temples, no poetry, books, etiquette and music of the education, since not China!" This is what a well-known doctor said when he publicly refuted Sima Xiangru's request to set up a county in Yizhou and send officials.

Many nobles of the Han Dynasty have even stubbornly believed that all areas that are not recorded above Yugong belong to the land of Yidi!

The Son of Heaven doesn't need to care about these places at all!

They believe that the Han family only needs to take care of their own affairs.

Yidi elsewhere, let them fend for themselves!

This kind of thinking is quite marketable!

So much so that even his father, who had always served and followed Sima Xiangru Chang Man before and after the saddle, was often ridiculed and despised by the scholars and doctors of the Han Dynasty.

This arrogant contempt and blow made his father deeply hated in his later years.

Chang Wen remembers very clearly that when his father was dying, he took his hand and warned him: "Don't deposit it in Xia Xin anymore and bring shame on yourself!" ”

But now, Chang Wen doesn't know what's wrong.

His heart was pounding, and the call from the bloodline was shouting in his heart.

Since the 22nd year of King Xiang of Chu and the battle of Qin, Chu and Yan, the remnants of the Dian Kingdom have been separated from the mother country for more than 200 years.

They didn't even know for a time the fact that the state of Chu had fallen and the Han dynasty had been established.

They didn't know that there was a great writer in the mother country, and Qu Yuan's divorce sang the whole world.

It wasn't until more than twenty years ago that they first met an envoy from the Han Dynasty and got news about the world.

As a result, the legends and stories passed down from generation to generation sounded in their hearts again.

The Dian people followed the Han envoys to Chang'an and witnessed the changes and prosperity of the Central Plains.

In my heart, the longing for my hometown flooded out of control.

At the most optimistic time, the king of Dian had even packed his bags, planning to attach Chang'an and be a king of peace.

Pity...... Everything is ruined!

However......

Now, it seems that the glimmer of hope has once again appeared.

I don't know, should I embrace it? Or stay away from it to avoid getting hurt again!

Zhang Yue looked at the businessman in front of him who suddenly sobbed, stepped forward slightly, took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him.

The people of later generations, no matter what, could not imagine how great the cohesion of the Zhuxia nation was in ancient times?

They have almost forgotten even the facts written in the history books.

In the late Qing Dynasty, overseas Chinese once donated all their hard-earned savings to the revolutionary party to support the revolution.

When the warlords were fighting, it was these same overseas Chinese who saved money to support the forces they felt were hopeful in the midst of the oppression and discrimination of the foreign powers.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a large number of overseas Chinese returned to China to participate in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and dedicated their lives and blood to the hot land under their feet.

In the entire history of mankind, there are only one or two nations that can have such a strong cohesion as the Zhuxia nation.

After all, this is a nation that has lasted for 5,000 years and stubbornly believes that it is the descendants of Yan and Huang, the descendants of the three kings and five emperors!

This is a nation bound together by blood, culture, ancestors, and clans!

In the long history, there have been countless epics that can be sung and cried.

Whether it is the dark years of the sinking of Shenzhou or the powerful imperial era of the Central Plains.

This nation and its inherited culture have never been broken!

Like the Dian people, even if they fall into a foreign land and cut off ties with China, they can still remember the origin of their ancestors, and it has happened more than once or twice.

It's just that many times, these groups who try to connect with their home countries and cultures end up with betrayal and neglect.

So, finally made them disheartened.

For example, the Shazhou military and civilian ...... in the Tang Dynasty

Of course, the situation of the Dian people is different from that of the Shazhou soldiers and civilians who are isolated and can only fight on their backs.

They still have a chance and hope now.

The Han family also has a chance to correct their mistakes.

What Yugong is not a Chinese person without a plan? The land of China?

Zhang Yue really wanted to find the scum who was the first to invent this kind of speech and hang him up and spank him!

Sling the bull!

It's just gibberish!

This kind of person is not good at academics, has bad morals, and has an improper outlook, and can be expelled from the ranks of scholars and doctors!

It should be sent to Professor Yang for treatment, and it should be corrected well!

China, since ancient times, isn't there Chinese there, and there is China?

When did the Zhuxia people have geographical restrictions?

If it is really according to these scumbags, how will future generations still play since ancient times?

"Your Excellency, don't be sad......" Zhang Yue comforted softly: "The first of Chu, the teacher of King Wen, is also a prince in Zhou, and Zhou is a thousand miles of land......

"In the eyes of this official, the Dian people should be descendants of Zhuxia and Miao......"

"Therefore, this official hopes that Your Excellency will love and respect yourself in the future!"

Chang Wen took Zhang Yue's handkerchief, picked it up and wiped it, and then knelt down violently and asked, "Do you really want to recognize the status of the Dian people?" ”

"Of course!" Zhang Yue replied as a matter of course: "As long as the Dian people and the monarchs and ministers of the Dian Kingdom think that they are descendants of Zhuxia and Miao, who else can deny it?" ”

Chang Wen listened, and looked at Zhang Yue with red eyes with excitement.

He didn't know what was going on anymore.

However, there is one thing he knows - such a big man of the Han Dynasty, if he is iron-hearted, he can completely promote the Dian people into the Han Dynasty.

Because, he is not only a big official of the Han Dynasty, but also has a decisive influence in the political arena!

He was also one of the leaders of the Han Dynasty's literary scene.

He has the power to convince the doctors!

"The villain represents tens of thousands of people in the Dian Kingdom, thank you for your great kindness!" Chang Wen immediately kowtowed: "If this can be done, the whole country of Dian will be grateful!" ”

What is more than gratitude?

If it can be recognized by the Han Dynasty, it will be issued with an identity bamboo charm, which will be included in the Han Dynasty system and will be compiled into the people.

The entire Dian Kingdom can run into a developed feudal society at once!

Then, a steady stream of resources and wealth will pour into this southwestern country of mountains.

In less than ten years, the local economy and living standards will be able to catch up with Jianwei County and Wudu County.

Such kindness is enough to make the vast majority of Dian people never forget!

Zhang Yue looked at Chang Wen, helped him up, and said: "Subjects of the Dian Kingdom, you don't need to thank me, if you want to thank the Son of Heaven, thank you......"

To solve the identity problem of the Yunnan people, in Zhang Yue's view, it is a trivial matter!

But......

Zhang Yue blinked his eyes and said to Chang Wen: "However, in order for the Dian Kingdom to be canonized and recognized by the Son of Heaven, it also needs a petition from the King of Dian and the subjects of the Dian Kingdom......"

It's a must!

Because......

Even the most radical scholars of the Ram School would not approve of any form of war in which no name is sought.

Han fought the Huns, that was for revenge.

The destruction of North Korea is for justice, the destruction of South Vietnam is for the purpose of maintaining love and peace, and the destruction of East Vietnam is for the maintenance of order.

China will not do anything like a war of aggression.

If there was a petition from the king and people of the Dian Kingdom, handed by Zhang Yue to the Son of Heaven, the matter would immediately become unresisted.

His Majesty is notoriously happy today!

He couldn't refuse the pie that fell from the sky.

As for the world of public opinion?

If any scum dares to jump out, Zhang Yue doesn't mind making a big news!

It just so happened that he didn't feel very safe right now.

I have to learn from my predecessor Xiao He and do something out of the ordinary to 'defile myself'.

When I hear it often, I have some doubts in my heart: It's that simple?

But he looked at Zhang Yue's expression, and had no choice but to respectfully say: "Thank you, after the villain goes back, he will definitely inform the king of Dian and the surrounding kings of the meaning of the nobleman......"

Straightening his waist slightly, he looked at Zhang Yue, and finally remembered the matter of coming to see this nobleman this time, and asked, "Is it just for this matter that the noble man called the villain here?" ”

"Of course not...... Zhang Yue took his hand, cordially invited him to the seat, personally filled him with a glass of wine, raised his glass, and said: "This time, in fact, this official doesn't know that he can meet a fellow Zhuxia like Your Excellency......"

"However, since they are siblings and descendants of Zhuxia Miao, then this official will not hide it from Your Excellency......"

"This official has been appointed by the Son of Heaven to build a well-off life in Xinfeng, and if you want to build a well-off life, the matter of the six mansions (Note 2) is particularly important!"

"It's just that there are few villains in Xinfengdi, and there is a lack of manpower for many things...... So...... The official intends to hire a group of workers from outside the territory to do these things......"

"What's the salary...... Tentatively give 5,000 yuan or something of equal value of salt and iron cloth......"

"The wages of the workers shall be paid by the Xinfeng official office on an annual basis with the relevant parties outside the territory...... Absolutely child-free! ”

When I heard it, my heart beat uncontrollably.

Although he didn't know why this nobleman of the Han Dynasty would go so far to give him such a good deal.

But there is one thing, there is no doubt - this thing is very profitable and scary to death!

Among the southwestern states, Yelang and Yunnan tried to get closer to the Han and gradually broke away from slavery.

However, there are other large and small tribal kingdoms in Yuyi, Baimayi, and other large and small tribes, which are basically primitive societies and slave societies.

The slave trade is even the lifeline of servants!

It's just that for a long time, only a few beautiful young servants could sell to the Han Dynasty.

Other, much larger numbers of male and female slaves were rarely sought.

The price is outrageously low!

Swallowing hard, Chang Wen asked cautiously, "I don't know how many workers your noble man plans to hire?" ”

"Now...... Let's prepare a few thousand for the time being......" Zhang Yue said lightly: "In the future, it may take tens of thousands of ...... every year"

Chang Wen immediately felt that his tongue was a little knotted.

Thousands?

He is not good at math, but he also knows that a few thousand times five thousand is a million in a year.

If it is enlarged to the scale of tens of thousands, it is a market calculated in tens of thousands!

But don't say tens of thousands, even thousands, he can't eat it, and he doesn't dare to eat it!

"Noble ......" Chang Wen asked cautiously: "Can the villain find someone to partner?" ”

"This is Your Excellency's business......" Zhang Yue said mysteriously: "This official will not interfere!" ”

For Zhang Yue, who aspires to be a top student, it is impossible for him to get his hands dirty.

In any case, he had to show his noble ambitions.

We must fight to the death against the evil slavery system!

He must draw a line with slavery and slaveholders, and lash out at their unscrupulous behavior!

Slavery is the greatest sin in the world!

Especially the slavery of siblings of compatriots, which is heinous!

In Xinfeng or other areas that he may govern in the future, the slave holders should be strictly controlled!

Reduce the number of slaves and maids as much as possible, so that people can live freely with dignity!

This is also the promise he made to the Son of Heaven and the people of the world - the rule of the well-off, there is a stage, the slavery system will be eliminated.

Of course, the future is bright, and the road is tortuous.

The Han family is now in, and is likely to be, in the initial stage of the rule of moderate prosperity for a long time.

So, if someone, for example, the unscrupulous merchants in Yidi colluded with Chinese profiteers, and disguised many Yidi slaves and maids as hired laborers to work in the Han family.

It's something that can't be helped.

Is that right?

The country's resources are limited, and the government's capacity is limited, so it is impossible to cover everything.

Being able to protect the subjects of Zhuxia as much as possible is already very powerful.

Of course, the actions of these profiteers will definitely be punished and spurned!

If one is found, one will be punished, and it will not be tolerated!

Punish him for going bankrupt!

Punish him once...... A thousand bucks!

If the matter is relatively serious, the authorities will also set up an investigation team to seriously investigate and punish a group of people and warn them.

A group of scholars and students will also be arranged to inspect the workshop and ask those Yidi hired workers - are you enslaved?

Zhang Yue believes that the answer will be the same as the answer that Apple's labor protection representative got at Foxconn!

In short, the Han government and academic circles will definitely fight to the death against the evil slave owners and slave traders!

This kind of thing does seem to be extremely hypocritical, and even Zhang Yue himself feels a little disgusted.

However, after embarking on the road of politics, Zhang Yue had already realized himself.

If he doesn't do this kind of disgusting thing, this kind of hypocritical thing, can he lie at home and expect others to do it?

Besides, maybe the children and grandchildren of those poor people will be grateful to him in the future!

Without Zhang Yue, they would have been able to enter China and become a glorious subject of Zhuxia?
