Chapter 195: Policy
However, more than 30 years ago, when the Han Dynasty army crossed the mountains and seas and came to the Dawan people, they realized that their phalanx was so fragile.
Whether it is their rain of arrows or the nimble and agile cavalry, they have made the Dawan people suffer.
Even if it was a fortified city, it couldn't stop the siege weapons of the Han Dynasty at all.
Even the city of Guishan, built by Alexander the Great, did not last more than forty days in front of the Han army.
So, after the war, the Dawan people fell into chaos.
Their pride and pride are trampled under their feet.
The whole kingdom is in a state of self-doubt.
But time is the medicine that smooths everything, and with the end of the war and the withdrawal of the Han army to their country, the affairs of the Han Dynasty are gradually forgotten.
Especially in recent years, because of the Huns, even the caravans of the Han Dynasty have rarely reached Dawan.
As a result, the Dawan people gradually forgot their fears.
turned into a rebellious mentality, and gradually became hostile to the Han Dynasty.
So, after the death of King Cicada, the high-level Dawan directly threw aside the previous agreement, and did not ask the Han Dynasty for instructions at all, but elected a new king internally.
In addition to the great efforts of the queen's lovers, Yin Cai's election also has a lot to do with the hatred of Han that he has always shown.
He publicly expressed his dislike and hostility to the Han many times, attracting the support of countless Dawan nobles.
But......
The queen squinted her eyes and looked at her husband, not at all attracted by the momentum he displayed, but full of disdain.
"You idiot!" The queen roared and scolded, "Are you full of bubbles in your head? β
"If the Han Dynasty people are so easy to deal with, where can it be your turn?"
In fact, compared to Yin Cai, the queen deeply thought that she was the one who was really suitable to master the politics of Dawan!
Yin Cai?
It's just a piece of rubbish!
A retarded mind with a brain full of mud and sewage!
Han dynasty?
It's not a good man and a woman!
If this fool continues to be so mentally retarded, maybe he will really attract the army of the Han Dynasty to attack!
"Your Majesty, think about it carefully, why did others elect you to the throne?" The queen said angrily: "Sting, Ah Mi...... Which one is not better than you? β
"Why didn't they show their hostility to the Han Dynasty early on, like you?"
"And why did you be encouraged to do those things after you ascended the throne?"
"They're using you as a shield......"
The psychology of the Dawan people towards the Han Dynasty is very complex and entangled, and they love and fear, hate and kiss.
And Yin Cai's accession to the throne is the product of this complex and tangled psychology.
In fact, the queen knew very well that other nobles and families were testing the reaction of the Han people by pushing Yin Cai to the forefront.
If you find out that the people of the Han Dynasty don't care about the change of the throne of Dawan - tomorrow there will be nobles who will bring troops into the city, depose Yincai, and ascend the throne themselves!
Especially those widowed sons, they are all eyeing each other.
And once the Han Dynasty got serious, it sent an embassy to ask for guilt.
Yin Cai is the best victim - all the bad things are done by Yin Cai, and everyone else is innocent!
They are all good courtiers of the Han Dynasty and good servants of the Han Dynasty's father.
It's a pity that Yin Cai didn't know any of this at all, but naively thought that he was really wise and martial and widely loved - just like he always thought that the queen was the one who liked him to marry him.
It's really stupid!
The queen couldn't help but curse in her heart.
But......
"If he wasn't so stupid, how could I have married him?" The queen flashed a sneer.
Such a stupid person is the best tool for manipulation and puppet candidates.
Thinking like this, the queen finally dissipated her anger, and her tone became a little more relaxed: "Your Majesty, you should immediately prepare an embassy, bring gold, sweat and blood, and go to express your sincerity to the people of the Han Dynasty......"
"Just like the Cicada King back then, it is best to get the canonization of the Han Dynasty!"
"Only by obtaining the canonization of the Han Dynasty can you truly sit on the throne!"
In Dawan, playing Han Dynasty cards can achieve miraculous results.
Before ascending to the throne, anti-Han can gain support and cheer.
Holding the thighs of the Han Dynasty after ascending the throne can deter and deter others.
Let them not dare to act rashly, let alone betray at will.
It's a pity that Yin Cai couldn't think of this, he listened to the queen's words, and said suspiciously: "If I do this, will other people do it?" β
When the queen heard this, her whole body became painful: "Your Majesty, why can't you think about it like this? β
"Someone else? Do others dare to disagree with a man who has been canonized by the Han Dynasty? β
"Others dare to risk fighting the Han Dynasty against you?"
"The Han Dynasty is the real ruler of this world!"
"I've heard that just last year, the Han Dynasty defeated the Huns and reopened the trade routes, so there are so many caravans coming to ...... this year."
"Think about it, even the Xiongnu have been defeated, who else can stop the Han Dynasty?"
"I wish Athena could give you a little bit of her wisdom......," the queen sighed at last.
Yin Cai listened, and finally got his senses, and hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then I will go and prepare to organize the ...... of the mission and gold and BMW."
He thought for a moment and asked, "Queen, look, is it enough for me to prepare five thousand gold coins as a tribute?" β
"Five thousand gold coins?" The queen began to listen, and smiled a little, but when she heard that Yin Cai was only willing to give out five thousand gold coins, the whole person was going crazy: "Your Majesty, five thousand gold coins, I'm afraid it's not enough to even sacrifice to the god of wine, right?" At least 50,000 gold coins must be prepared to satisfy the appetite of the Han Dynasty! β
"Fifty thousand?" Eun Cai was dumbfounded.
As a Hellenistic city-state kingdom, Dawan's currency was divided into gold and silver coins like that of the European continent.
Generally speaking, the gold coins of the Dawan people were minted according to the method of Alexander the Great.
The front is the image of the king, and the back is the statue of the god.
Each gold coin weighs about fifteen grams.
50,000 gold coins are 750,000 grams, equivalent to 750 kilograms of gold, which is about 3,000 gold when converted into the Han system.
For a country like Dawan, taking out such a large amount of gold coins at one time is almost equivalent to a year's income.
For Yin Cai, it is about half of his wealth.
This made him a little hard to accept!
Because, Dawan was born stingy and stingy.
"Yes, prepare at least 50,000!" The queen said categorically: "Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Han Dynasty to agree to ......"
Looking at Yin Cai's appearance, the queen knew that he was reluctant to make such a big move, so she had to persuade: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the people of the Han Dynasty are very generous, the more gifts you give, the more things they will give back!" β
"Last time the cicada dynasty tribute, send
For 30,000 gold coins, the Han Dynasty people gave back at least 3,000 pieces of silk, worth more than 100,000 gold coins! β
"Really?" Yin Cai was finally tempted: "I'll go and prepare ......"
Anything that can make money, Dawan people will be very positive!
Juyan, Black City Stop.
A dinner party is taking place.
The host is Zhang Anshi, and the guest is the messenger from Chang'an-Huo Yang.
Today's Huo Yang has stepped down from the post of Qingzhou Assassin and was transferred back to Chang'an by Violent Shengzhi to serve as the imperial historian.
The Imperial Historian is the second official of the Imperial History, and it is also the most powerful position under the Imperial History.
Responsible for accepting Jiuqing's affairs, inspecting the local county and state of 2,000 stone of lawlessness, punishing the strong and strong, and suppressing the rebellion.
In an emergency, it is even possible to mobilize troops to carry out combat missions.
This is also the result of the high-level game in the court - after Wei Xiang was promoted to the position of Imperial Doctor, he urgently needed a cronie who could continue to take charge of the Imperial Historical Observatory for him, and Huo Yang was the best choice.
I have to say here that the new Imperial History Zhongcheng Wang Ji does have a few brushes, which can force Huo Guang to transfer Huo Yang from Qingzhou back to Chang'an.
And behind Huo Yang, he is Huo Guang, and what Huo Guang does needs to balance the situation.
The once intimate brotherly alliance that could wear a pair of pants has fallen apart.
Han Zeng, Wang Ji, and Zhao Chongguo even vaguely appeared hostile.
"Fortunately, I have already withdrawn from the ......," Zhang Anshi secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had left the battlefield ahead of schedule.
Otherwise, at this moment, you will definitely be dragged into the water.
To tell the truth, in the current Zhang Anshi's view, the magnates in Chang'an City are deceitful for power and interests, and they are naΓ―ve and childish like children fighting for a toy.
Instead of painstaking infighting, why not look at the world?
The world is big, big!
Big enough to accommodate everyone's ambitions!
Big enough to feed the appetite of the owner!
Thinking of these things in his heart, Zhang Anshi smiled and filled Huo Yang with a bottle of wine, and asked, "Huo Gong is here, except for His Majesty's envoy, is there anything else?" β
Huo Yang came to Hexi this time, and he came by edict.
What he did was inseparable from the Xiongnu civil war.
The Son of Heaven wants to know, what is the extent of the Huns fighting now?
And this answer is best to come to Juyan to find it.
In addition to the official duties on the surface, Zhang Anshi knew that Huo Yang must have the mission of other personal affairs, otherwise it would not be him, the servant of the imperial history, who came-just send someone to come.
Huo Yang tasted the wine in the cup, it was spicy and pungent, and it was like fire in his throat.
Fortunately, he has visited the people of Juyan in the past few days, and he has tasted it many times, otherwise he would really be a little unbearable.
Putting down the wine bottle in his hand, Huo Yang sorted out his thoughts, and then asked tentatively, "Has the general heard about Chang'an?" β
"Huh?" Zhang Anshi smiled, pretending to be confused, and asked pretendedly, "What does Ming Gong mean?" β
"A month ago, someone impeached Dr. Yu Shi for favoritism, so Dr. Wei asked for the bones of the beggar, and His Majesty stayed in the middle ......" Huo Yang simply picked it out and asked: "Now the government and the opposition are talking about it, some people think that Dr. Yu Shi is cheating and should be removed from office to thank the world, and some people think that the prime minister does not know about this matter, how can he be dismissed because of this?" β
"What is the general's attitude?"
Zhang Anshi knew that this was the case.
He smiled when he heard this, and said, "Can Wu An have an opinion on this matter?" β
"Only His Majesty's orders are obeyed!"
The matter of Chang'an, after he came to Hexi and took over the position of General Hexi, was already decided-no mixing, no statement, no interference.
To put it simply, hang it high as long as it's not your business.
Try to avoid getting involved in the battle of Chang'an as much as possible, so as not to cause trouble, waste and distract yourself.
Huo Yang listened, but he let go of the boulder in his heart!
The reason why Chang'an has been deadlocked until now, and he has not made a ruthless move, is that he is afraid of what the general of the chariot and cavalry in Hexi thinks? Even more afraid of its attitude!
Now, now that he has received a positive answer, Huo Yang knows that now, whether he is pro-Wei Xiang or anti-Wei Xiang, he can let go of his fists and kicks and fight.
Smiling, Huo Yang nodded, no longer talked about this topic, but changed the direction and asked: "General, the subordinate has a word, I don't know if I should talk about it......
"Huh?"
"The lower officials sent an envoy to Hexi, and they all walked away in Juyan, ......" Huo Yang said softly: "Between the lower officials, the general is here in Juyan, I'm afraid it's a little ......" He pursed his lips and considered the words: "It's a little deviant from the country's major policies, right?" β
"Not to mention the strategy used by the general, the law of this merchant is just the government of the Hu people and slaves, and the lower officials are a little sweaty for the general......"
"Since ancient times, Yixia is different, "Ram" said: not with the lord of Yidi China, not with Yidi to hold China, not with Yidi to get China! Honestly! The general is in Juyan, a large number of Hu people Yidi, which is mixed with China, thousands of years later, the people of Juyan China? Yidihu? β
"I hope that the general will learn from it!" Saying that, Huo Yang bowed deeply.
As an official who cultivated both Confucianism and law, Huo Yang was deeply worried about Zhang Anshi's policy in Juyan.
After all, anyone who has read history knows that plotting with Yi Di is no less than seeking skin with a tiger!
The history of the Spring and Autumn Period is a history of respecting the king.
Zhang Anshi listened and shook his head with a smile.
Of course, he also understood Huo Yang's worries!
After all, the lessons of history are incomparably profound.
Not to mention the history of the later generations that he knew, the lesson of Zong Zhou alone was profound enough - after the overthrow of Zong Zhou, those Yidi tribes who almost overthrew the Zhuxia civilization did not jump out of the stones!
They must have a source of information, and the best way is to take prisoners in the Zongzhou War.
When Zong Zhou was strong, these people must have been slaves, a group that was oppressed and exploited.
However, as soon as the situation changes, these once docile groups will immediately open their fangs and bite their former masters fiercely.
"Your worries are justified...... Zhang Anshi thought for a while and replied: "The words of "Ram" are even more reasonable......
"Then why is the general still ......" Huo Yang didn't understand very much.
"I'm afraid Ming Gong doesn't know the details of the Hu people's politics in Juyan and Hehuang, right?" Zhang Anshi said with a smile.
Huo Yang was stunned, he didn't pay attention to this, he just walked around the people, and the focus was always on the people, the army and the people.
As for the Hu people?
As a gentleman of the Han Dynasty and a leader among scholars, he hid away when he saw it, for fear that he would be contaminated with a fishy smell.
"Don't hide it from Ming Gong, I have already taken ......precautions against what Ming Gong is worried about," Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Whether it is Juyan, Hehuang, Yang or any place in Hexi, except for Hu Ji, if you want to fall into Han Chinese, you must go through the assessment to test their ability!" β
"There must be people who can understand Chinese characters, know etiquette and retreat, or be good at craftsman's things, and benefit the world's talents, so that they can be entered into the household registration and make up the ...... of the people."
"The remainder, upon the end of their service, will be repatriated to their place of origin......"
"Repatriation?" Huo Yangleng was stunned: "How do you say this?" β
In his opinion, aren't Juyan's Hu slaves and maids all lifelong slaves and maids?
They will have to work endlessly for their masters from life to death in the land of the Han family.
But who knew that all the arrangements of Zhang Anshi were deployed by the Son of Heaven and the prime minister, and Liu Xun was a traverser.
He knows not only the lessons of Chinese history, but also the lessons of Midi!
In particular, Midi's lesson on the issue of black slavery made him think deeply and be vigilant!
It also shocked and scared him.
With the shamelessness of Emperor Mi, he was still planted on the issue of black slaves, and fell into countless tricks, and had a lingering nightmare.
With the cleanliness of Zhuxia, once the Hu slaves are flooded, I am afraid it will be difficult to get rid of them in the future.
Moreover, the abolition of slavery is the trend of the times.
It is the core proposition of ramology!
And what ram scholars advocate and advocate is not only the abolition of the Han people as slaves, but also the Yidi!
After all, doing unto others as you would have them do unto you is the core of Confucianism.
Therefore, all things considered, Zhang Anshi played a sideline ball.
"Ming Gong doesn't know, now, whether it is Juyan or Hehuang, all Hu people are not slaves in theory," Zhang Anshi explained with a smile...... "They are all workers who have signed employment contracts with Juyan, Huqiang and other government offices, and they are also ......."
"This deed is for a total of five years, and the Zhuhu people undertake the work assigned by the government office according to the contract, and at the end of the five years, the government office will pay a sum of wages, and then repatriate to their hometown, so that they can settle down and start a business!"
"This gentleman's trip is also a move to save the dead and save the drowning!"
Zhang Anshi's mouth is really high-sounding, righteous and awe-inspiring, I don't know if I think that the person who is speaking here is a saint who has the world in mind and wants to be born by the common people!
However, when Huo Yang listened, he only felt creepy and terrifying!
Because he understood that the policy introduced by the general of the chariot was more terrible than being a slave and a servant.
If the landlords of the inner county were strong and strong, and the slave holders, if they came to Juyan and learned these policies and went back to implement them, I am afraid that they would have been infinitely sinful long ago!
As for the reason?
Very simple!
How many five years can a person have?
Is the average life expectancy in the contemporary world 30 years old?
China is like this, what about Yidi?
I'm afraid it's only low and not high!
In other words, five years is enough time to squeeze these young and strong years cleanly.
By the end of the contract, many of them may have died for various reasons, and most of the remaining ones may no longer be suitable for labor.
At that time, just send some money and belongings, and let them go back to fend for themselves.
As an employer, you no longer have to pay for their future life and the lives of your children and grandchildren.
It is equivalent to taking all the benefits, and the disadvantages are not touched at all.
This is to eat and wipe clean, and let others bear the next problem - these repatriated Hu people, back to their hometown, will definitely become a local problem.
In addition to this, Huo Yang also heard other key phrases from the mouth of the cavalry general.
For example, the general once said that if some of the Hu people can understand Chinese characters, know etiquette, or be good at work, they can pass the assessment, get a household registration, and settle down as a subject of the Han family.
This is no longer insidious!
It is completely in the name of justice and doing shameless things.
It is to completely squeeze these Hu people, and not let go of any possible moves!
This policy is a sieve! The heroes and heroes of the Hu people group were screened out and used by me, and the rest of the chaff was thrown to others to take over.
But there was no one to blame him.
Because he has stood on the moral high ground.
Huo Yang took a deep breath, and then asked, "So, what about those orchids?" β
"The general is in Juyan, and he is widely used as a orchid with a Chinese man...... Could this be a problem? β
"What's the problem?" Zhang Anshi laughed: "The daughter of Yidi is matched with a Chinese gentleman, what this "poem" praises, and what "book" praises!" β
In today's world, the whole world is patriarchal.
As far as Zhang Anshi knows, Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms is ridiculed as a blue-eyed child, and Cao Zhang, the son of Apu, is called Huangxuer!
This does not prevent them from exercising authority.
Honestly, mixed-race babies are actually cute!
After Huo Yang listened, he lowered his head and was silent, so he had to say, "You really have confidence that what you do in Juyan can last for a long time?" β
"Don't talk about the Hu people, just the politics of Juyan and Hehuang, once it is transmitted back to Chang'an, I am afraid that the world will think that you are a merchant in the world......
Small kiosk
"I'm afraid there will be a lot of discussion at that time......"
"The mouth grows on someone else...... Zhang Anshi laughed and said, "Can I still control it?" β
"Virtuous as Zhou Gong, but still afraid of rumors, I am a mortal, how can we avoid it?"
"I can only tremble and tremble, just walking on thin ice!"
He knew that doing these things on his own would inevitably lead to criticism, embarrassment, and resistance.
Therefore, the Son of Heaven laid out very early, pulled down most of the princes and nobles of Chang'an to go to Hehuang to open a manor, and did his best to assist them and open up Hehuang.
In this way, these people are tied up and formed into an alliance and community of interests.
Sure enough, the results were impressive.
So much so that what he did here in Juyan was not discussed at all in Chang'an.
Everyone tacitly helped Zhang Anshi erase some sensitive points in his policy.
And no one discusses or discusses, which means that Zhang Anshi can concentrate on farming and do things bit by bit.
However, he also understands that the side effects of this are also quite obvious.
Those who have taken his benefits now will inevitably grow with them.
Perhaps, there will be some terrible existence in these people.
For example, strange existences such as syndicates, trusts, and cartels in the Western Han Dynasty may appear one after another in the future and become Zhang Anshi's enemies.
This is an inevitable objective law and the inevitable development of things.
Therefore, Zhang Anshi knew that he had to prepare in advance.
Gather some allies who will help him in the future to clear and cleanse these monsters.
Huo Yang is a very suitable object!
He has a sense of justice and a sense of mission, and the key is that Huo Yang is very likely to become the successor of Storm Victory in the future and the head of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhang Anshi looked at Huo Yang and sent out an invitation: "Brother Jun, tomorrow I will hold a banquet here to entertain the Wusun envoy......"
"I don't know if Huo Gong has time to watch the ceremony......"
"Perhaps, Huo Gong can find some answers through this matter......
Huo Yang listened, nodded, and bowed: "Since you are loved by the general, do you dare not go to the appointment?" β
