Chapter 248: On Meritorious Deeds

On behalf of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven took the golden seal north to the Hetao area to pay respects to the generals.

And in the inner court, something bigger is happening.

Wei Qing defeated the Xiongnu Youxian King, which was a great achievement, which was equivalent to eliminating one-third of the Xiongnu's power.

The area ruled by the Right Xian King belongs to the entire Monan, the royal court is in the south of the Mo South, and the defeat of the Right Xian King is equivalent to the main backbone of the Xiongnu's entire right being dragged down, and then he is waiting to clean up the little king below.

After the court of Youxian Wang was attacked by the Han army, the entire Youxian Wang domain was in chaos, due to the lack of effective control and coordination, the main force of the Xiongnu and many tribes began to flee, and the Han army had a rich harvest this time.

In addition to capturing more than 10,000 people and dozens of Xiao Wang, more than 2 million heads of livestock were also relocated from the major grasslands in Monan.

These trophies simply set a new record for the Han Dynasty's foreign wars.

Millions of head of livestock, that's huge.

At the court meeting, the ministers did not dare to imagine this number, if they were all rushed back to Shanggu County, then these livestock would be piled up all over Shanggu County, and the ministers began to close their eyes and think blindly, densely packed, full of cattle and sheep.

"The general's war report mentions the capture of a million head of livestock from the Huns? Do you have any good plans to deal with it? This is Liu Che's first time revealing Wei Qing's new title, although it has been discussed by the three princes and nine secretaries before.

Lord Taichang was not ambiguous at all, and walked to the middle of the hall and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, this is the first grand occasion since the founding of the country, and the old minister feels that all these livestock will be rewarded to the counties and counties of Dahan to win the National Day." ”

Liu Che's mood was really pierced by victory, and he was also thinking that this was really the first time since the founding of the Han Dynasty that he came to talk about and share the resources of the Huns at a court meeting.

Thinking about the time since the siege of Liu Bang Baideng, the court of the Han Dynasty was not discussing paying tribute to the Xiongnu and pro-relatives, and discussing how to distribute resources to the Xiongnu, but now that it has changed, Liu Che is in a very good mood: "This idea is good, is there anything else?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Taichang said is that there are so many cattle and sheep, and this is the first time in the world, the minister feels that the whole country should indeed celebrate." A minister stepped forward to get back together.

Everyone was speaking, and Tingwei Zhang Tang also stood up in order to brush up his sense of existence: "Your Majesty, the great general Wei Qinggong is very good, and he destroyed the old nest of King Youxian in one fell swoop, and the millions of livestock really shocked the minister." ”

"Hahahaha." Liu Che was very happy after hearing this: "I was also surprised, it was Wei Qing, I have never been disappointed, Zhang Tang, what do you think should be done with these loot?" ”

Zhang Tang pondered for a moment, Wei Qing is now being favored, and he has just worshiped the general, it is not appropriate to offend, it is better to make fewer remarks, so he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better for these livestock to be collected by the imperial court, and then turned into money to enrich the treasury." ”

Every year of war, every year of money, plus the vast Shuofang City, money is being spent everywhere, the treasury is empty, Zhang Tang's meaning just follows Liu Che's concern, and the treasury is full and enriched.

Liu Che was really interested in Zhang Tang's suggestion, and if all the millions of livestock were sold, wouldn't the treasury be full? And this time, the money for the commendation of military merit is also available, killing two birds with one stone.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's inappropriate." Taichang stood up and expressed his feelings: "Your Majesty, this is the spoils captured by the general, if the court sells it, the old minister thinks it will cause criticism among the people." ”

"Lord Taichang's words are wrong, and the lower officials feel that what Lord Zhang said is right, enrich the treasury." An adult stepped forward.

Another adult also stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks it's good to sell it." ”

Taichang suddenly felt that something was wrong there, why did so many people suddenly stand up and speak to Zhang Tang, so he stood back again, and then never spoke again.

"Zhang Qian, what do you think?" Liu Che suddenly saw Bo Wanghou in the team, you must know that Zhang Qian was the first person to ignite the fire of a strong man in Liu Che's heart, and there was no one, just because the map he personally drew back then gave Liu Che a strategic goal.

Zhang Qian was actually standing below and thinking about this problem, he didn't dare to agree with Taichang's idea and Zhang Tang's idea: "Your Majesty, the minister has been thinking about a question just now, and half of what Master Zhang said can be adopted." ”

Zhang Qian is not a horse to shoot Zhang Tang, nor is he afraid of Zhang Tang, after all, Zhang Qian's prestige is very high, and he also has a position in Liu Che's heart, he is a advice based on reality.

"Then please talk to Bo Wanghou!" Liu Che was very interested.

Zhang Qian took two steps forward: "The minister suggested that half of it should be disposed of by Weng Hou Zhao Xin and distributed to the Hu people outside the Saiwai Department, which was also promised by His Majesty back then, and the minister felt that this was the best time for His Majesty to fulfill his promise, as for the reason, His Majesty knew, and the other half was disposed of by the Prime Minister, Lord Zhang's opinion really needs to be considered, and there is not much money left during the period of the first emperor." ”

Zhang Qian's suggestion made Weng Hou Zhao Xin, who was standing in the last line, feel gratified, and Hu Ren's demotion was a pain point.

In that year, after he was defeated by Wei Qing, he led his troops to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and then fully recruited more Hu people to surrender, but the imperial court placed these Hu people in the war buffer zone on the side of the Great Wall outside the Saiwai.

"Zhao Xin!" Liu Che suddenly remembered that Wei Qing had also played this matter, and suggested that the Hu people from the border counties such as Youbeiping, Daijun, and Shanggu County should migrate to Henan for centralized settlement.

Zhao Xin wiped away his tears of excitement, and quickly stepped forward and knelt down to bow: "Your Majesty." ”

Liu Che did not feel compassion, after all, the Hu people were feuding in his eyes, but Liu Che decided to adopt Zhang Qian's opinion, after all, the strategy of governing Hu with Hu had to continue, and these Hu people would continue in northern Xinjiang.

Liu Che: "Yes, what Bo Wanghou said is right, I did snub you, so I will do what Bo Wanghou said, millions of livestock, half of which will belong to you, and you will distribute it." ”

Zhao Xin knelt down excitedly and bowed: "Zhao Xin is willing to die for His Majesty's cause." ”

In fact, when Liu Che made this decision, he also risked losing the hearts of the people in the world, and he could return these spoils to the Hu people and was unwilling to share them with the whole people, which was a very tricky topic among the people, and the other part was also collected in the imperial court and sold into money to enrich the treasury, which really made the Han people who hated the Huns feel cold.

After the next dynasty, Liu Che was in a very good mood and went out of the palace in a private visit, and the court captain Zhang Tang seemed to have something to find Liu Che, and Liu Che actually disappeared for the first time.

Zhang Tang, who returned to the Tingwei Mansion, was a little depressed, everything was beyond his expectations, Wei Qing's power is getting bigger and bigger, and he himself knows that there is no way out, because of the matter of the prime minister's candidate, he has advised Liu Che to prevent his relatives.
