The Han Empire is really super rich now!

It is easy to do things with money, and the people of the world understand the truth that is valid in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. And at the national level, the benefits of having money can be even more reflected.

At the beginning of the dynasty, who did not want to create a peaceful and prosperous era to make their rule last for 10,000 years, except for those who were particularly incompetent and incompetent? In order to achieve this goal, it can be said that all means have been exhausted. The use of draconian criminal laws to govern the population is only one of them.

Ruling under the constraints of harsh laws can certainly achieve results in a short period of time. However, it is not a long-term strategy, and it cannot fundamentally guarantee the long-term stability of a dynasty. Of course, it was not that the kings of the past were unaware of this, but they simply had no better way to do it under the conditions of many constraints. And the main constraint of this is that there seems to be a constant lack of available money!

I am afraid that more than one ambitious emperor once uttered such a sigh at the empty treasury. In addition to maintaining the necessary strong armaments, it is not easy to barely maintain people's livelihoods, and it is even more difficult to create a prosperous era.

The reason why the Qin Dynasty, which had already been able to create one of the greatest empires, quickly collapsed and disappeared in just a few decades was because it lacked a strong economic foundation. The huge empire that was extremely powerful on the outside was actually like a big tree that had already withered its roots, and as soon as the autumn wind came, it fell to the ground with a bang.

And now the Han Dynasty is strong enough to have the ability to completely avoid this situation. After a hundred years of development, the Han Empire has an incomparably profound heritage. Especially on the basis of the rule of Wenjing, in the past twenty or thirty years of unlimited expansion of the empire, while expanding the territory, the country's financial revenue has grown at an almost astonishing rate.

The ministers of the imperial court and the officials in charge of this aspect never imagined that the constant foreign wars, which cost countless money and food, not only did not weaken the power of the state. On the contrary, it has created endless wealth for the country. What kind of relationship is this, some people have been thinking about it for so many years, and they still haven't figured it out. However, this kind of truth does not need to be understood by everyone, as long as those who should understand it understand, it is enough.

And the people who created all this are planning a more brilliant future at the moment. It is precisely because of the accumulation of sufficient wealth that Yuan Zhao will start his changes in all aspects with confidence.

Yuan Zhao, who successfully reversed the general direction of history, actually did not think of replacing the imperial rule of the Liu Huang Han family. He has no ambition in this area, let alone such an interest. He only wants the power to make sure that he changes the country according to his vision. Although even he is not sure whether the blueprint he designed is the best? But he firmly believes that if this dynastic succession system is not completely changed, then no matter how strong the country is, it will not take many years to fall back into the iron law of the cycle of rise and fall.

If this situation really arises again, it will be absolutely intolerable to him. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, no one knows better than him how much suffering this land and the people living on it have experienced. And in order to fight, how many brave and fearless soldiers shed their blood and stained this land red.

And he also knows better that most of the changes and innovations in history have not ended well. He has

is ready, if the next thing to meet is destined to be a more difficult battle, he will do whatever it takes, even if it is to fight for his life and become the enemy of the world, he will carry it out to the end, no matter what!

Fortunately, he has the trust and support of the emperor. Moreover, everything that Emperor Liu Ju paid exceeded his expectations.

"When we return to Chang'an together, I will formally draft an edict to announce one thing to the world."

Before leaving the top of the mountain, the emperor seemed to have finally decided to come down. He looked at Yuan Zhao's eyes, and his expression seemed very calm. And Xiao Yuanfeng, who was taken from Yuan Zhao's hand and hugged in his arms, yawned and continued his sleepy eyes.

"Your Majesty's edict, of course, all the ministers of the court and the soldiers and civilians of the world will obey it as one."

Yuan Zhao met his gaze, a little puzzled, not knowing what he wanted to say so solemnly. Liu Ju glanced down at Yuan Feng's cute appearance, and a smile began to appear in his eyes again. This little guy, he really likes it.

"I once invited the most famous physiognomy in the world into the palace, and they all said that Feng'er is a person with great blessings! He can afford it. ”

The mountain wind blew and the forest whistled. Hearing the words in his ear, Yuan Zhao was taken aback. This is the first time that the Emperor has said such a thing explicitly. Even though there are no outsiders, it is also very unsettling.

"Your Majesty, this is my son......!"

"I know. But...... Why can't you become my crown prince? ”

"That's not going to work...... I have only this one son, how can I give it to you? ”

"Who are you fooling? Hum! Isn't Liu Yuanshuo your son? ”

"Oh...... It's different. Anyway, Your Majesty, you can't do this. ”

"Well, your opinion is only half of it. Actually, I just let you know...... Sister will agree! ”

"Your Majesty, how can you do this? This is a great thing to do in the world...... It's going to stir up a great change in the clan! ”

"Clan? Haven't all the influential old guys been killed by you a long time ago? Do you think the rest of the people still have this ability? ”

"Your Majesty...... Does it have to be that way? ”

"Han Guogong, I have already decided. Before the centennial ceremony of the empire, it was officially canonized and announced to the world. ”

The emperor looked up at the mountains in the distance with a majestic expression. Yuan Zhao sighed, he shook his head with a wry smile, trying to dissuade him one last time.

"Your Majesty, the social affairs are not trivial. You can't do it rashly! ”

Yuanfeng, who was already asleep, hugged one of the emperor's arms tightly. Liu Ju wrapped it tightly in a splendid dragon robe, afraid that he would be blown by the wind. What thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, a hundred years of social society, it seems that it is not as important as the attachment of this little child. Then, his tone reverted back to his previous tone, and he only said the last sentence.

"Brother Yuan, how long can my body last, others don't know, are you ...... Is it really not clear? ”

Infinite sorrow is contained in these few short sentences. Yuan Zhao's heart felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer. He lowered his head and couldn't bear to look directly into Liu Ju's eyes. After a long silence, he finally nodded and gave the other party the long-awaited answer.

"Your Majesty commands, and the ministers obey...... I'm sorry! I don't have the power to take back your health ...... God. ”

The words are not finished, ie

Even he, who was accustomed to seeing countless life and death hearts as hard as iron, choked in his throat and could no longer speak.

More than 20 years have passed in a hurry, like smoke. The traverser who has crossed the thousand-year-old space-time tunnel can win a hundred battles without being stopped, and can strategize to win the world. But in most cases, it is impossible to defeat impermanence, let alone the arrangement of God. Many of the people he tried so hard to change their fate ended up inevitably sliding down their original trajectory and dying.

Emperor Liu Ju laughed softly again. There seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes, but his expression was a little cheerful. He looked across from him at the man who had saved his life several times. He understands everything he is thinking at the moment, and he understands what he has been doing all these years for.

"Brother Yuan, if you want to do more, you need more power. I owe you so much, but I know that even if you repay the whole world, you will not be rare...... Brother Yuan, let's go, let's go back to Chang'an together. ”

Yuan Zhao nodded. The two men stood up and walked down the hill with their backs in the direction of the slanting sun. The sky is full of sunset, and the clouds are splendid, which is in full swing. And all the ministers and generals inside and outside the imperial court who were waiting here, they all looked at the two figures with excited expressions. Although no one knew what they said on the mountain, without exception, they all had a premonition that something extremely important might happen in the near future.

The Han Dynasty, who calmly arranged everything on Changle Plateau, finally returned to Chang'an with the emperor's car. In the eyes of the people of the world at that time, this was just an ordinary inspection of his fiefdom by this legendary figure before achieving greater glory. As the host and main planner of the Centennial Celebration of the Empire, it is almost certain that he has left an unparalleled mark on the annals of the Empire.

But only a very small number of core characters who can live and die together really understand the significance of Yuan Zhao's return to Changle Yuan for the past few days. As the starting point for him to first set foot on the political stage of the Han Empire, this is the source of his strength and his strong backing. Before he can uncover a larger-scale "battle" that has never been seen before, he needs to gather enough strength and courage to face this thousand-year battle!

Behind greatness is suffering. Yuan Zhao forgot who he had heard of this sentence. Although he doesn't have too deep experience now, the bitterness in his heart is always unavoidable.

Alas! I owe it to their family...... Who wants to reduce the imperial power? Is this retribution?

"Don't look sad. If you really don't want to, then I'll go into the palace and explain it. It is expected that the queen mother and him can't be too reluctant. ”

Chang'an, the backyard of the Han Mansion. Princess Suxi looked at Yuan Zhao, who was sitting there listlessly after dinner, and felt a little unbearable. She leaned on his lap and whispered softly as she watched the lights turn on in the pavilions.

"That's not necessary, I've already agreed. It's just that...... The son we finally gave birth to was so easily taken away. Of course I'm upset! ”

"Feng'er is just in the palace, we can visit at any time...... What's more, is it so hard to have a son? ”

"What do you mean......?"

"Motoro...... We can have another one! ”

"Uh, that's ......."

The wind passed without a trace, and the murmur lingered. The autumn of Jinse is becoming more and more intense.
