"Ministers Cao Huan and Cao Yi, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty."

"Excuse me, two of you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Sima Yan, the two people from the Cao family came in next. These two are in a lot of trouble than Sima Yan.

The Jin State was defeated by the Han State, and the relationship between the two was relatively simple, that is, the victor faced the vanquished. And the people of the Cao family ...... Hiss~ This is the descendant of the usurper.

And the leaders of the Cao family are still two.

"Both, I have a lot of things to do, and time is pressing, so some things are open to talk. If the words are offensive, please bear with them. ”

"Don't dare, please make it clear to Your Majesty."

"Well, the grievances between Han and Wei, that everyone knows. However, there is actually an essential difference between the Han of me and the Han of Emperor Xiaomin. In fact, this point is clear in the hearts of discerning people. Therefore, what Emperor Wei Wen did in the past, I will no longer pursue it. However, in the history books of the Han Dynasty in the future, from Emperor Wen of Wei to the history of Jingming Chan, all of them will be called pseudo-emperors. Moreover, the fact that the Jin Kingdom had previously allowed Jingming to sacrifice the ancestors of the Cao family with imperial gifts in Yecheng must also be stopped. I would also like to ask for your understanding. ”

After Cao Huan and Cao Yi glanced at each other, they bowed helplessly: "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers have no objections." ”

"Well, but Cao Mengde's King of Wei is Emperor Xiaomin's personal seal, and Uncle Xiao's King of Wei is also sealed by Emperor Taishang, so you can all use royal rites to sacrifice your ancestors."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity."

"Okay, the simple things are out of the way, and then let's move on to the complicated things."

The so-called complexity is Cao Yi and Cao Huan, who is the head and patriarch of the Cao family.

In terms of title, Cao Huan was an emperor before, and Cao Yi was just the king of Liang. In terms of generation, Cao Huan is Cao Cao's grandchild and Cao Yi is a great-grandchild. And if it weren't for his support, Cao Yi wouldn't have been able to escape Yecheng at all.

But in terms of blood, Cao Yi's lineage is passed down from Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhang's biological mother is Mrs. Bian - sister-in-law, grandson. And Cao Huan's father, Cao Yu, was born to Mrs. Huan - a concubine.

As for Cao Huan's mother, she is Zhang Lu's daughter. In the eyes of the Kanto family, this seems a bit nondescript - in essence, the family does not think that Zhang Lu is a prince.

Moreover, over the years, Cao Yi has been in the mountains of the three counties of Shangyong, and he has really shared weal and woe with the courtiers of Cao Wei's remnants, and has won the recognition of the soldiers. If Cao Huan is chosen as the head of the Cao family, it is estimated that the soldiers of the remnants of Cao Wei will also be reluctant.

"So what I mean is that from today onwards, the Cao family will be divided into two branches. Well, Uncle Xiao's lineage is the King of Wei who was personally sealed by Emperor Taishang, so Uncle Xiao's fief is at least one county. And Jingming, you're ...... here."

"Don't dare to bother Your Majesty, in the past years, in the position of the puppet emperor, he failed to persevere to the end and keep the Wei State Sheji, so it is enough to have an idle position for the rest of his life. Don't dare to think about it anymore. ”

"Hahahaha~~ What Jing Ming said was insincere. I'm not such a mean person. Let's listen to the seal. ”

"Listen to the hadith."

"Well, don't bother Lang Guan. Uncle Xiao, I still named you the King of Wei, and his fief is in Daifang County in Pingzhou. ”

"Huh? Oh, the minister Cao Yi received the decree of thanksgiving. ”

"Hehehe, Uncle Xiao, come and see this map. As for Obibang County, the northeast is Lelang County, and the northeast of Lelang County is Goguryeo. I have already greeted Wen Ciqian and asked him to station more troops and horses in Lelang County to protect you from the invasion of Goguryeo. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of you."

"Hehe, listen to me. To the west of Obifang County, across the Shaohai Sea (Bohai Sea) and Qingzhou of our Han Dynasty, we face each other. To the south of it, there are three Koreas, including Mahan, Jinhan, and Benhan, which are not very strong. After you take Zhang Hu and the others there, you should organize the local people, develop production, and then expand your influence to Samhan as soon as possible. It is not easy for me to take this county for eternity, and I will take it back in twenty years at most. ”

"Your Majesty means that if my Wei State can't lay enough land for myself to survive in the future, then there will be no need for this Wei State to exist?"

"However, the fifteen states of the Great Han are the inherent territory of the Great Han and will not tolerate the existence of independent kingdoms for a long time. However, with the current road traffic conditions, the extension of the county system to the 15 states today has exceeded the limit. Therefore, if our Han wants to continue to expand, it can only implement the feudal system in the border areas. However, I don't want to be like the Western Zhou Dynasty, where the power of the royal family is getting smaller and smaller, and I can't finally restrain the vassal states. Therefore, after discussing with Da Sima, I came up with such a plan: temporarily grant the border counties to you and other meritorious officials in the future, and take them back after twenty years. At that time, if this feudal kingdom failed to obtain a new territory that could survive, I also gave them the glory of being the king of a country for twenty years, and it was enough to raise merit. If you conquer a larger territory and continue to retain the title of the feudal country, then it is also possible to pass it on to your descendants. Moreover, the mainland of the Han Dynasty was not damaged, and there was still enough strength to restrain the feudal states and prevent hundreds of years of war like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. ”

"Your Majesty's foresight can not only stimulate the loyalty of famous ministers and fierce generals, but also change the disadvantages of the Western Zhou Dynasty when it became weaker and weaker, and the ministers admired it. In this way, the minister took over this position, and within 20 years, he was appointed to present His Majesty with the complete Samhan Peninsula. ”

"Hahaha, this matter is just a blind drum between me and Da Sima. In the end, what the effect will be, it still needs to be proved by practice. ”

As a traverser, Guan Yi has actually been thinking: how to make Huaxia expand as soon as possible in this era, and lay the foundation for the eternal glory of his nation.

The nation should be glorious, and the duration should be sufficient. The basis is two things: population and territory.

For example, in Russia, Guan Yi had been to this country before crossing and had seen many museums in this country. In Guan Yi's view, the country's development is extremely crude, and the waste of resources is simply jaw-dropping. But who makes people's territory the best in the world? After all, even in the era before Guan Yi's crossing, it was still quite difficult to obtain the resources in the oceans on the earth. Most of the resources come from land. And the resources on land, you don't have much resources in your territory to talk about.

Another example is Great Britain, although it was in the era before Guan Yi crossed. This country is often in the mouths of netizens in China as a joke. But they tend to ignore the fact that Britain is not a good country anymore. However, at that time, the loudest speakers in the world were the Anglo-Saxons!

Limited to the level of science and technology of this era, road conditions. Chang'an's decree will be issued throughout the country, and it is estimated that the most remote places will not be able to reach it for two or three months, and it will be wasted on the road for half a year. Therefore, it is actually not advisable to expand beyond the border with the county system under centralized power - since the two Han Dynasty and below, how many eloquent monarchs, why is the territory of China basically fixed within the fifteen states of today's Han Dynasty? On the one hand, other places are not suitable for farming, and I don't look down on the Han people. On the other hand, the territory of the fifteen states has actually exceeded the limit of the effective control of the productive forces at that time. It doesn't work under centralization.

What about the sub-seal? This is indeed easy to stimulate the enthusiasm of the parties concerned. But the example of the Western Zhou Dynasty is not far ahead: the territory of the central government is becoming less and less, and the power of the central government is getting weaker and weaker. In the end, it was unable to restrain the vassal states, and then China fell into a civil war for nearly 600 years.

Although that era was the most brilliant era of Chinese culture, the situation is different now: if China has another 600 years of civil war, China will be left far behind by other nations, then I, a traverser, will become a national sinner.

So, how can we continue to expand without affecting the power of the local central power in China? Then we can only improve the sub-sealing system.

In the border areas, give a county or a county to the royal family of the dead country, and hand over all the political power, financial power, and military power to you: on the one hand, you are extremely weak to the central government, and you cannot turn the sky upside down. On the other hand, you are not at an absolute disadvantage to the surrounding alien races, and you have a strong central government behind you. So, go ahead and expand, and the current land will be returned to the central government in the future. And the new land that will be conquered in the future is all their own - who will not take things seriously?

It is foreseeable that after the border princes take the new territory, they will definitely move all the people of the original territory and return it to the central government. But isn't that just right? Sooner or later, the population of the hinterland of the Central Plains will multiply to the point where there are more people and less land, and if you return the vacant land to me, I will use it to settle the extra population.......

In this way, it seems that a virtuous circle can be entered. And after all, China will effectively control the whole of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and even Siberia and further Australia, right?

Of course, these are only preliminary designs for Guan Yi and Liu Chen. How well it is implemented still needs to be observed in practice.

Fortunately, Guan Yi is only thirty-nine years old this year, and Liu Chen is only thirty-five years old. Both of them still have some time to see if the experiment will be successful.

Yes, the Sima family is the test subject: whether the decaying family can be reborn in the bitter cold of the border - this is the experiment of the family's transformation.

And the two of the Cao family are the experimental products of the improved sub-feudal system: if the Cao family can effectively expand in the border area, then the Liu family clan and many heroes of Ji Han can be divided in this way in the future.

Therefore, since Cao Yi has been sealed in the northeast, Cao Huan's fief is also clear: "Jingming, I have named you the Duke of Wei, and the fief is the south of Yizhou, and the three counties of Yongshou, Nanfu, and Ailao in Yongchang County." To the north of the three counties is the main production area of all kinds of green new jade in my Han Dynasty, and there are garrisons here, which can be your backing. In the southwest of the three counties, there are large areas of tribes that do not even have a state. The climate there is warm and the land is fertile, if Jingming does it well, he may not be able to make a great cause! ”()
