Chapter 138: The Beginning of a Great Era

Diplomatic rhetoric Yunlang never reads or listens, this thing can only be interpreted by professionals, and if ordinary people interpret diplomatic rhetoric according to their own ideas, I am afraid that there will be a very big deviation.

I don't know who these words are for.

If these words are for the emperor, there is no need to be so obscure, if you meet a stupid emperor, you may make something bad, isn't this a pit for your own people?

If it is for the ministers, those ministers who are as cunning as foxes, they have long understood the meaning between the lines, it is better to speak in the vernacular, and everyone will save some time.

Excluding the above two kinds of people, then there is only one way to deceive the foolish people.

When Zhang Qian, Marquis of Bowang, fled back from the Xiongnu, his family also suffered a catastrophe, and his family thought he was dead, and there were many terrible misunderstandings, one of which was about his wife.

Zhang Qian didn't care, but finally the water was difficult to collect, the emperor felt sorry for Zhang Qian, so he rewarded Zhang Qian with a lot of beauties, Zhang Qian only took one, and returned the rest to the emperor.

At that time, it was still the sixth year of Yuan Shuo, and Yun Lang also participated in that wedding as a young master.

I saw the tired Bo Wanghou.

At that time, Yun Lang understood this great forerunner very well, and felt that it was understandable that a person who had walked tens of thousands of miles was appropriately tired.

didn't know that at this time, Zhang Qian had already sent four messengers to advance from the southwest to the poison.

Just because he was in the distant country of Dawan, he actually saw the Shu cloth produced in Shudi, as well as the special bamboo cane there.

At that time, Liu Ling was only a concubine of Lao Shan Yu, the power of the Huns was still strong, and the Qiang people were still vassals of the Huns, so he had no way to go to the Western Regions through the land of the Huns.

Therefore, they tried to find a way from other places, but as a result, these four messengers did not achieve their goals, but miraculously figured out the geography and roads of the southwest.

Next, the greedy Liu Che sent his own armor soldiers...... Ransacked the Dian Kingdom and the Yelang Kingdom.

Next, the more greedy Liu Ju entered the southwest with more men and horses, completely pacified the southwest, and left five counties such as Fat Ke, Yueyu, Shen Li, Wenshan, and Wudu to the Han Dynasty.

After destroying the Dian Kingdom, Yelang and other countries, Zhang Qian originally planned to go to Dawan and other countries through the southwest detour to continue his mission of connecting the Western Regions.

As a result, in the process of preparation, Huo Qubing took Hexi, Wei Qing defeated the Huns in Longcheng, and the Huns were forced to migrate north.

At this time, the road to the Western Regions of the Great Han Kingdom was completely opened, and the impatient Bowanghou left Chang'an again with two thousand fierce retinues, preparing to hollow out the Western Regions and open up territory for the Great Han.

Diplomats generally have a vicious eye.

This time, Bo Wanghou took a fancy to the Wusun Kingdom, the largest kingdom in the Western Regions, and he felt that the Wusun Kingdom should surrender to the Great Han Kingdom!

As a result, there was the last way to cut off the friendship between the Wusun Kingdom and the Huns.

Although every word in Bo Wanghou's documents describes good neighborliness and friendship, Yun Lang's eyes don't know how long, he actually saw one word after another similar to conquest from the gorgeous words.

Su Wu became the regent of Yanqi, which is very revealing, and Yanqi's geographical location is right behind the Wusun Kingdom......

At this time, the Great Han Kingdom can be called full of talents, Gongsun Ao, Li Xi set off from the right Beiping, all the way to the Beihai approach.

After setting out from Mayi, the super army of 300,000 Wei Qing fanned across the vast grassland and headed north.

Huo Quai's iron cavalry set off from Yangguan and advanced straight on the most desolate land, and the goal was still the north......

The general of the building boat, Yang Fu, was hollowing out the Great Han Kingdom in a place south of Meilin.

Lu Bode's horse's hooves did not stop at Panyu, but chose to march southwest, where it is said that there is also a land called Jiaozhi where there is abundant products......

This is where Yun Lang is afraid of Liu Che...... He sent out almost all of his forces, and stayed in the empty Chang'an with his wife, waiting for his generals to make immortal achievements for him.

Push him to the highest peak of the God-King world.

Courageous people are generally gamblers, when everyone is worried about Liu Che, only Yun Lang is alone in the dark night and sighs, because he knows - Liu Che won the bet, there will be several armies, and there will be no army to disappoint him!

When the army of the Han Kingdom was fighting abroad, the people in the country generally did not rebel, and the person who opened the precedent of rebellion in foreign wars was precisely the Liu royal family, that is, Liu Changxing, the king of Jibei who harmed Princess Huaihua's life!

Therefore, at this time, Liu Che was even more ruthless and vicious towards those Liu family members.

It has only been four months since Yun Lang left Chang'an, and Liu Che has already killed two relatives and seized two titles of feudal states.

One is Liu Ming, the king of Jichuan, and the other is Liu Pengli, the king of Jidong, both of whom are the sons of Liu Wu, the king of Liang...... Crime - great disrespect!

Since killing the two kings, the rest of the feudal monarchs have left their feudal kingdoms one after another, come to Chang'an to pay homage to the emperor, and keep filial piety for Emperor Jing, who has been dead for many years.

These things are all news sent by Changping.

Whether it is Changping or Gillian, they all think that if they want to spend a few days of peace at this time, the best place is in the army.

The royal family is difficult to protect itself, and the nobles who stay in the gate are not as good as dogs.

Zhangye is a very good place, there is no need for Zhang Qian to explain more, Yun Lang has long heard of Jin Zhangye, Yin Wuwei's statement.

In the armpit of the empire, it is naturally a good place with abundant water and grass, and after the snow melts in the Qilian Mountains, this desolate place is moistened, if someone is willing to spend effort to operate, within ten years, it must be a good place to settle down.

There is an example of Wuwei County in front.

As soon as Yun Lang came to Zhangye, countless Qiang leaders took out their treasured Xiongnu heads in exchange for the opportunity for their sons and nephews to study in Beijing.

Now, it's time for Yunlang to enjoy the fruits of the national vendetta.

The construction of Zhangye's fortress began on the first day of his arrival, and after a month, the city of Ganzhou, which took more than 30,000 Qiang people to work day and night, was completed.

The Heishui River meanders outside the city of Ganzhou, and this city backed by snow-capped mountains and facing the Heihe River has been prosperous since it was built.

In Hexi, Ganzhou is a rare place suitable for farming, where the Qiang people have the most, and their main business is farming.

It is also the place that the Huns value the most.

For many years, the heavy taxes imposed by the Xiongnu on the Zhangye Qiang people are unreasonable, guarding the fertile fields and wanting to eat a full meal but not getting, which is the true portrayal of the Zhangye Qiang people.

"How much was the tax set by the Huns before?"

Yun Lang closed the wooden slip sent by the Qiang head, and the names of the people were densely written on it, and Yun Lang had a headache when he saw it.

"Seventy out of five!"

Dongfang Shuo, who had already read these books, reported it in one mouthful.

"Then change it to 50% tax."

Dongfang Shuo glanced at Yun Lang and said, "The implementation of the Han Dynasty is ten taxes and one!" ”

Yun Lang shook his head and said: "In the future, it will be slowly reduced to ten taxes and one, but now it will not work, and the tax rate will be reduced to ten taxes and one in advance, but the people here don't believe it."

We can't put the tax on them too much less than they expect, and if it's too low, it won't be able to win the trust of the people.

It will only be cheaper for those heads, it is better to set two taxes and one, even so, it is already much more merciful than the Huns.

For the Great Han Kingdom, a wealthy Zhangye County is harmful to the country, and collecting half of the tax can allow the Qiang people here to have enough to eat, and not to eat too fat, giving birth to any ambitions that should not appear. ”

Dongfang Shuo frowned and said: "The Qiang people are the people that the dynasty is ready to accept, and they are too harsh, and they are afraid of disaster. ”

Yun Lang pointed to the Qiang head man who was waiting outside for him to announce the tax rate and said to Dongfang Shuo: "You go and ask them what the tax rate is, that is, what is the tax rate they can accept."

After you ask, we'll work on it. ”

Dongfang Shuo looked at the Qiang head who stretched his neck outside and was full of anticipation: "Your reasoning is really weird, whether you are right or wrong always has to be asked, I don't believe it, they will take the initiative to set a high tax rate for themselves!" ”

After speaking, Dongfang Shuo hurriedly went out, came back without much effort, sat on his seat and took a sip of tea, and thought for a while before saying to Yun Lang: "Sixty percent!" ”

Yun Lang nodded and said, "It's similar to what I guessed, you go and announce the tax rate for them now, and collect four into five!" ”

"Huh? Why did it fall? ”

"Then tell the leaders of the group that they can collect fifty percent of the tax on the people, and the excess will be regarded as loss."

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment and said, "You are encouraging corruption. ”

Yun Lang didn't continue to explain, waved his hand and said, "Execute it." ”

Dongfang Shuo sighed, came to the outside of the big tent, and announced the new tax rate of Zhangye County.

Yun Lang sat in the big tent and heard the cheers that resounded in the sky outside, frowned and shook his head fiercely, he was still too merciful.

Dongfang Shuo, who had just entered the door, said: "Send the masters to Jingtie Mountain, which is nine hundred miles away, and smelt qualified iron ingots as soon as possible, so as to build more Yuanshuo ploughs and distribute them to the people, telling them that this is a gift from the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!" ”
