144. Agriculture

Han room is still black. The clothes used to be dark crimson.

Liu Xi is dressed in black today.

Liu Che stretched out his hand. took the Naqi Gaozu White Snake Sword handed over by the main road, and let the maid tie the ribbon for herself.

The gate of the dormitory has been opened.

Outside the door, countless fires burned violently.

The sky-high flames turned the entire Weiyang Palace into daylight

A torch is placed in the middle of the Great Chaoyi Palace. It is one of the few weekly rites in existence.

The left cross said: The princes are welcome. Self-set court fire, Chinese language clouds, enemy country guests, fire master supervisor.

Kong Yingda of the Tang Dynasty commented on this on the Guanjing, and set a fire in the court. The ministers who came to the court entered at night with the Ming Liao, because the fire was the court fire.

The so-called court fire hundreds. That's pretty much it.

That's why. The ministers are also known as the hundred wives.

Facing the firelight, surrounded by hundreds of people around him, Liu Che walked out of the dormitory.

A huge Son of Heaven chariot was already waiting at the gate of the temple.

When the car arrived at the palace of the officials, the scene on this side changed

The guards of the Xuanmur Hall are all the tallest and most handsome soldiers of the South, North and West Army.

The minimum height requirement is seven feet. 1

These ten rates are all heavily armoured, and they are armed with ritual weapons such as axes and swords.

Of course, these weapons are all like goods, there are no blades, and they are basically not lethal.

This is also a tradition since the Zhou room, where the Son of Heaven will be, and the knife must not be entrained.

Everything that may endanger the personal safety of the Son of Heaven is excluded.

However, there are exceptions, such as Lang Zhong, the attendants, and the confessors who closely protected Liu Che, these hundreds of people were heavily armed and armed to kill

Human weapons.

Liu Che's car arrived directly from the gate of the Xuanshu Hall to the inner palace of the Xuanshu Palace.

At the gate of the inner palace, Liu Che got off the car and entered the inner hall of the A Xuanshu Hall directly from the gate of the = side of the palace.

Thousands of ten officials bowed to Zuo San before they got up.

Then, the civil and military officials were divided into the east and west sides.

But the line between the two sides is not so clear

The Han Dynasty was a regime with a distinct **** color. Especially in the early middle and early periods, the boundaries between civil and military affairs of the Han regime were not clear

Break.

The military attache worships as the county guard. Shepherd the people, civil officials serve as generals, take charge of the army, and expedition thousands of miles.

This is a common occurrence.

Therefore, there is no shortage of military generals in the civil official group in the west, and civilian officials can also be seen in the military general group in the east.

The boundary between the West and the West is only whether the minister is subject to Yongxiang or Taiwei.

Or born in a liehou or an official family.

Generally speaking, the former has a higher priority than the latter.

After all, for the **** regime, military merit is everything, and civil and military affairs rely on military merit to survive.

At the beginning of the Great Dynasty Conference, an envoy sent by Chen Wu presented the jade seal, which was the symbol of the supreme power of the Yue Kingdom and the Dongou Kingdom

and runes.

Nothing could be more indicative of how this military operation is going.

As a result, in the case of singing and leading virtues, no one questioned the correctness of this action.

Victory is justice.

However, when the question of the ownership of Western Vietnam was discussed, the ministers of the imperial court were caught in a fierce quarrel.

A group of civil officials led by Yu Shi Tai and Tao Qing advocated giving up the barren land. Anyway, the purpose of the Han Dynasty has been achieved

There is no need to continue to waste military and material resources.

In the eyes of these traditional ten masters, they probably never regarded the Nanyue people as adults, and perhaps it would be more accurate to describe them as two-legged sheep

In this case, the other party is naturally not qualified to share the glory of the Han people.

If Liu Che didn't know Tao Qing's character, he would almost have thought that he had been bought by the Guanyue people.

Taking the initiative to instigate the king to give up the land he has acquired is almost unimaginable in modern times.

You don't see the Celestial Empire of the later generations, and in order to slap the bigger place, you will compete with the polar bear East 853 Jiaguo and the monkeys in the south

Exhilaration.

Anyway, it was impossible for Liu Che to give up. This is not negotiable.

Even if he has some indigestion, he would rather it rot in his stomach.

However, the military generals insisted on including Min Yue into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

It's not that they don't think there's anything to be gained by annexing the Min Yue court. Rather, they decided that this was the best view of their great martial arts

Proof.

As long as that territory belongs to the Han one day. No one in the court can erase their merits.

However, all this controversy disappeared after Taohou Liu She stated his position.

In the Manchu Dynasty, who doesn't know that Pai Hou is the royal sycophant and white gloves of the old Liu family.

= On the day, he must have the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor behind his statement.

This is the norm in the political circles of the imperial court.

The emperor, as the arbiter, = generally does not end easily, he only needs some hints, and naturally there are people who charge in front.

If it really came time for the emperor to die personally, if it wasn't for his prestige being severely hit, then it would have been his

The intention is at odds with the opinion of the vast majority of ministers.

Regardless of the outcome. It will inevitably greatly damage the majesty of the emperor. After Taohou Liu She came forward, the ministers understood Emperor Liu Che's intentions, and set a policy towards Min Yue and Dongou Kingdom

base

Civil officials were able to find arguments in countless historical texts.

to prove that Yueyue's hometown has been an inseparable part of the Chinese territory since ancient times.

Of course, the Han family also has to study the appearance of food.

The best result is naturally that Dongou King took the initiative to request the attachment. And the Han family will reluctantly accept it after resigning.

In this way, the face will be passable.

What the? Is this a big fake?

With the weight of Min Yueguo in the eyes of the Han monarchs, it is only worthy of this treatment.

The next thing to determine is the number of troops stationed in the Minyue Kingdom. and who to send into Minyue to spread Han culture.

However, it was the concept of the military star cluster, and it took a lot of time for Taohou Liu She to explain it clearly.

To Liu Che's surprise, the first person to stand up and support it was actually the internal history that was wrong.

As a Legalist giant, he keenly perceived the seven lands of Legalism's survival and growth from this military star cluster system.

The other ministers were more focused on Articles 1 and 2.

The number of garrisons was determined at first, and it must not exceed 20,000, otherwise the logistical pressure on the imperial court would be too great.

As for the important task of spreading Han culture, the court decided to leave it to the people of the Chu poetry school.

In order to reward the contribution of the Chu Poetry School in this kind of action, as well as to help the indoctrination work of the Chu Poetry School.

Liu Che once again sacrificed the trump card in his hand. Using movable type printing technology, he sponsored 500 sets of classics of the Chu poetry school for free

Language.

This is the big killer weapon for him to hold hostage to all schools of thought in the world, which school is obedient, so he publishes more books in his school, no

If you obey the word, you will not be printed.

In this way, we will be able to seize the initiative in public opinion.

As a modern man, he naturally does not ignore the importance of propaganda.

When there are more literate people in the world, he will be able to start a newspaper.

Liu Che and the officials only discussed the direction of the general policy, but the specific basis for governance can only be determined after careful investigation

Get down.

More than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past six months, in order to demarcate the Sino-basic region and investigate the local geography, the Lantai side has already visited Yueyue

More than 200 inspection groups and 30 wind collection groups were sent to the Dongou region.

More than 100,000 words of explanatory text on local geography, rivers and lakes were brought back, and more than 1,000 maps were surveyed

Sheet.

This allowed Liu Che and the ministers of the imperial court to pass through the text as well as the map. Clearly know, Min Yue, Dongou and

The local geography and climate of the southeast provide first-hand reference materials for policy formulation.

According to Liu Che's orders. On the side of Dongou and Minyue, the areas where the immigrants will be reclaimed have been selected.

All of them are well-watered and flat. Plains suitable for farming.

After the migrants passed, they only needed to reclaim the land and build houses for the winter.

Stock up on food and firewood for the winter. Survive this year's rigours, and wait until next year, and you will almost be self-sufficient.

Andใ€Nowใ€‚ It's the perfect time to emigrate.

Because the weather fits.

If we don't take advantage of the autumn to settle the migrants in their respective settlements, and at the same time build up a good reserve of supplies for the winter, then there will be no chance this year

But the problem is that the resettlement work involving a thousand miles of land and the management of migrants is very trivial

Broken and troublesome.

The purpose of Liu Che's convening of his own confidant think tank was to negotiate a feasible and perfect Zhongxing cluster management

and the distribution system of immigrants.

This can be regarded as an advance rehearsal.

The southeast side is still relatively close to the core area of the Han Dynasty, and the geography and climate are not very different from those in the south

Simpler.

If you want to migrate people to the Northeast, the Grassland, the Western Regions, and the Southwest Yi in the future, that is the real test of the Han Dynasty

When the officials execute.

Only about half of these ten lands were allocated to the Tun Riot Regiment, and the other half was given to the generals who fought this time

of the Noble Ministers.

After all, compared to the Central Plains, the southeast has not been developed, and it seems too remote and desolate.

If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't go on, it would be difficult for the Han people to accept the fate of being uprooted in their hometowns.

Therefore, it is not a loss to give half of the ten lands to the noble ministers.

In addition to the imperial court, only these people had enough manpower and material resources to develop these lands.

When the noble ministers get the benefits, they will not hinder the development of the great cause

The imperial court won the tax revenue and the hearts of the people.

In the Han Dynasty, it was impossible for even the princes to be exempt from taxes.

The imperial power does not go to the countryside, that is after the Cheng Dynasty of the Emperor.

At least in the past, the Han family still has a strong control over the grassroots.

The local landlord Hao Qianggen wants to cover the sky with one hand. There is still a long way to go.

The land allocated to the noble ministers was not to mention for the time being, and their own retainers and servants helped to take care of it.

Thirty percent of the output obtained by the Zhongken Regiment each year will be returned to the public and thirty percent will be handed over. The rest is forty percent. The people of each regiment have produced a lot of their cultivated land

Divide the outnumbered.

Thirty percent of the income returned to the public. = for the reserve against famine and calamity, = for the supply of the military departments, and those who turn it in, half of it is charged

Half of the treasury goes to the inner treasury.

This stipulates that all the mountains of the military will attach great importance to the Central Foundation.

Because, these cadres have tied the Tun Star Cluster to the army.

The better the development of the regiment and the more famous it is, the more benefits the army will receive, and the more its military expenses will be.

Everyone knows that the military will never let the bureaucracy pull them back.

Who would dare to hold them back. That group of warriors would definitely dare to come to the door. (Qian Li Hao)

Nowadays, the power and power of the warriors in the Han family far surpass that of the civilian group.

The civilian clique dared to pit the emperor, but it would never dare to pit the military generals who had mastered the military power.

The warrior was stunned. Regardless of the rules. Don't be embarrassed, who can stop Jie?

Liu Che believes that = the day will make all classes of the Han people taste the sweetness.

Next time, I am afraid that without his appearance, these representatives of vested interests may take the initiative to push the imperial court to seize new territory.

Fear. Wait until they take all the ten lands that can be cultivated and all the enemies that can be defeated in the known world into their arms and step on them

to the feet.

They'll wonder what to do next.

Just like the Qin Empire's military merit lord Mingtian treasure system back then.

To be precise, the Middle Star Cluster itself is a variant of Qin's cultivation and warfare policy.

This is a policy that was launched purely for the sake of expansion and aggression. China has been a large agricultural country since ancient times.

But it is not an agricultural powerhouse.

Why?

Gai is because the + land in China is dominated by mountainous Jinling, and there are relatively few plains.

It is far from being as advantageous as the geographical environment of the unique Americas and the Indochina Peninsula.

Throughout ancient Chinese history. Except for the Qing Dynasty, the population of each dynasty peaked at about 60 to 80 million.

Then it is from prosperity to decline.

This is because limited by the cultivation technology of the time, only 10 places in China can feed so many people.

When the people below can't eat enough, naturally there is only one way to rebel.

There are more people who die, and the ten lands are still peaceful. The dawn of prosperity is approaching.

This is a rebuttal. The land of China is constantly reincarnated.

The population of the Ming Dynasty peaked at about 80 million, but by the end of the Qing Dynasty it had skyrocketed to 40,000.

This is the = important theoretical basis for many Qing slaves to constantly advocate and exaggerate the "prosperous Kangqian era".

But is that really the case?

A variety of crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes were imported from the Americas through the South Seas from the Ming Dynasty. By the time of the Qing Dynasty, it was widely cultivated

ใ€‚

It is the emergence of these high-yielding crops that has led to a massive increase in China's population. 853 _

The so-called "Kangqian Prosperous Age" can also be called "Sweet Potato Prosperous Age".

But the weaknesses brought by high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes are also very obvious.

Low nutrition and single, poor taste, and little value for deep processing.

As a temporary emergency relief, long-term staple food will inevitably lead to human malnutrition, "noodles like vegetables".

Physical fitness has dropped dramatically. It will also inevitably affect the normal intellectual development of people.

Liu Che has roughly calculated an account, based on the current production technology of the Han family.

The land currently under control can accommodate about 40 to 50 million people, and any more will definitely cause all kinds of social problems.

The newly acquired land in the southeast can hold about five million.

The Northeast Plain plus the ten lands in North Korea can probably accommodate: about 10 million.

Southwest Hui can also migrate a few million.

The environment on the Xiongnu steppe is not very suitable for the living habits of the Han people, and more than a million people can migrate to the sky.

The countries of the Western Regions can also settle a few million, and if there are more, most of them will destroy the local ecological balance.

If this calculation is made, the land of East Asia will be able to support a population of 100 million people.__

The current population of the Han dynasty is about 4,000, if Liu Che introduces a series of policies to encourage childbearing.

Probably in three to fifty years. The country's population can be doubled

Don't think this figure is exaggerated, the population in the early Qing Dynasty was only tens of millions, and after just over 100 years, the population exceeded 360 million

If the map to the Central Peninsula could not have been made, Liu Che would have been able to see the population growth zone during his lifetime

came with all sorts of drawbacks.

Only Indochina can help China break that curse.

With the superior geographical environment of the Indochina Peninsula and the industriousness of the Han people, this place alone can feed hundreds of millions of people.

At that time, what Huns, what Dawan, the Roman Empire was a joke.

The sea of people employed by the Han Dynasty has all been bulldozed.

Except for the Han people themselves, no one can stop the Han people from conquering the world.

.....

In addition to arranging things for immigration. Recently, there was a big event at the imperial court.

Zhao Hu, the crown prince of Nanyue, will personally come to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven

Well, this is the Han Dynasty in Minyue. The actions of the two countries in Dongou frightened the whole country of South Vietnam.

That's why I hurriedly sent the prince here.

This Zhao Hu is nothing, and the celebrities in the court have never even heard of this name.

But his father Zhao Tuo is a cow.

This is a person who once wrestled with Liu Bang and competed with Empress Lu, so that Emperor Xiaowen personally ordered to be appeased. Live more than the whole Taihan

The country is still a hero.

There is no such person who can be ignored.

In the eyes of the imperial court, the Nanyue Kingdom was many times more important than the Yueyue Kingdom.

This is not only because of Zhao Tuo, but also because of the Han Dynasty and Qin Dynasty.

South Vietnam, as a territory under the rule of the Great Qin in the past, has now been under the rule of the Taihan.

This has always made many people who boast of doing better than the Qin Dynasty and have a sense of superiority, and the great people of the Han Dynasty are extremely aggrieved.

If it is said that there are still different voices in the court, the subjugation of Nanyue is probably the entire court's #Tongxinyuan.

Zhao Tuoren is not stupid, and he understands the thoughts of the Han Dynasty people very well.

So, no matter how the Han people promised and coerced and lured. During his reign, he never set foot in Han land.

I have never entered the Hajj and seen the Son of Heaven.

Because he knew that if he went to Chang'an, he would probably never return to South Vietnam.

The Han Dynasty's fear of Nanyue was only Zhao Tuo, and if he was not there, the Han Dynasty would never hesitate to conquer it by force.

In fact, it is true that when Zhao Tuo was alive, King Min Yue was respectful to Zhao Tuo and did not dare to be rude.

But as soon as he braided his front foot, Min Viet planned to annex South Vietnam on his back foot.

This fully shows that the Nanyue Kingdom with Zhao Tuo and the Nanyue State without Zhao Tuo are almost equivalent to two different countries.

Even when Emperor Wu was still alive, Emperor Wu did not dare to use troops against South Vietnam.

This is all a bloody lesson.

Therefore, this time, the court should attach great importance to Zhao Hu's visit.

Of course. Their main concern is still. How long can this old guy Zhao Tuo live.

This is probably the most secret of the South Vietnamese State at present.

In recent years, Zhao Tuo has appeared less and less in public.

But this did not in any way detract from his prestige and rights.

As long as the news of his death does not come out for a day, the South Vietnamese country will be united as a whole.

By force alone. Even if the Han Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of Han troops to attack. It is not always possible to get a good result

Unless you want to kill all the South Vietnamese people.

Liu Che knew how many years Zhao Tuo would live, and this guy lived longer than Emperor Jing in history.

It wasn't until a few years after Piglet succeeded to the throne that he died.

Until that time. Any daylily is cold.

Therefore, after the conquest of Minyue, Liu Che has been thinking about the problem of South Vietnam.

Perhaps, this visit to Zhao Hu, the crown prince of South Vietnam, is a good opportunity? Changan.

The most beautiful thing in the capital today is not the Ram School, which has the largest number of people and dominates public opinion in the world.

Nor is it a fire cooking oil. A Legalist disciple who is rising steadily.

Huang Lao has declined, and the Mo family has just recovered, and the farmers are immersed in farming.

Only Chu poetry is in the same vein. The limelight is unmatched for a while.

The Son of Heaven specially ordered Chu Shi Confucianism to enter Min to spread Han culture. The imperial court funded the construction of the academy to provide the corresponding classics.

Such treatment was the envy of other Confucian factions.

Although the land to the southeast is poor and backward, and the land where they live is full of barbarians.

But because of this, it is still = a desert of culture.

There is strong support from the imperial court. The Chu poetry school will be able to educate the local people.

Within a few decades, Southeastern would surely become the most loyal supporter of the school.

And then occupy a place in the political map of the entire Han Dynasty.

Therefore, in recent times, in the various worms of Confucianism, the strongest and most influential ram school has also frequently studied Chu poetry

Pie threw out an olive branch and planned to join forces and join hands #Advance.

The gentlemen of the Guliang school are not far behind, there are Chu poems in the southeast, and Lu Ru in the southwest. In the end, they turned their light to the Northeast One

Many young students even bid farewell to their teachers and embarked on the road to North Korea with enthusiasm and ambition.

Even the most crippled and old-fashioned Ruru. After seeing Chu Lianmai's example, he didn't look at going to the southwest for distribution.

Increase investment in the southwest region.

There are even some Confucian schools that have stretched their claws to the grassland, and if they can turn Hu into Han, this credit is far from being comparable to other schools.

In this regard, Legalism, Huang Lao and other schools can only stare dryly, and when it comes to teaching Taoism, they together cannot do anything to the Confucian schools.

The relationship between the Legalists and the military is relatively close, and the border counties in the north are the basic sphere of influence of the Legalists, and the home of the powerful landlords in the north

Most of the children are also Legalist disciples.

As long as the cultivation of reserve talents is increased, no matter how the political situation changes in the future, there will always be a place for Legalists in the court

But the old Huang school is a bit of a non-drama, and in the past ten years, there has been a shortage of reserve talents.

Now in the court, the old Huang faction still occupies three or four seats in the Jiuqing. But this is the last glow

Historically, with the rise of Chao Cuo, the "Decisive Family began to occupy a = place in the political arena." And continue to expand their power

After Chao Cuo's death, Zhidu took over, and Zhidu was followed by Ning Cheng.

Confucianism is also eager to try to have a king
