With Liu Bei's death, the great cause of the reunification of the Han Dynasty has come to an end, and the surrender of Sun Quan has also made the court breathe a sigh of relief.

However, others breathed a sigh of relief, which does not mean that Liu Xie also breathed a sigh of relief, although Sun and Liu, the last princes of the Han Dynasty, were eliminated, but the root cause of the turmoil in the world was not eliminated, and the power of the family was still deeply rooted in the Han Dynasty. Don't look at Liu Xie's implementation of the imperial examination and the implementation of Juntian, but if you want to completely solve the hidden dangers of the family, it is not possible to do it overnight.

Liu Xie, who was a latecomer, knew very well in his heart that the family was inexhaustible, and killing could not solve the hidden social dangers that the family would bring. The Maison is like a chameleon, changing its identity with the times. In ancient times, it was called a family, but in modern times, it is a chaebol, with countless wealth, controlling a large number of social resources, and controlling the livelihood of society and people.

Liu Xie didn't think about killing the peerless family, because he knew that the family also has the rise and fall of the family, the decline of the old family, the rise of the new family, anyone can become a family, and everyone can become a family again. There are only three generations of wealth, and if a family does not produce talents within three generations, it will not be far from decline.

Chen Qun's purpose in proposing the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is to preserve the inheritance of the family, and no matter whether there are talents within the family, it will not shake the status of the family. It's just a pity that Liu Xie rejected Chen Qun's idea. Liu Xie did not expect the Han Dynasty to die with the sun and the moon, and the change of dynasty was inevitable, what he wanted to do was to extend the life of the Han Dynasty as much as possible, at least in his lifetime, he hoped to lay a solid foundation for future generations.

It's human nature. Although the old saying is that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, who doesn't want their family to be passed down for generations? Today's Han has no strong enemies outside and no hidden worries inside, so Liu Xie has the time to start laying out for the future. The first is to deal with the barbarians who live in the dense forests of Jiaozhou and further south.

The war of the Han Dynasty was basically over, and Jiangdong ended with Heda, who occupied Huiji, officially announcing that he would accept the imperial court's recruitment, while Jiaozhou was still in war at this time. Of course, the unlucky ones were those barbarians who had assisted Liu Bei against the imperial court before, and the Han people didn't care much about it.

Led by Wang Ping, Wu Tugu, Zhang Wei, and Ma Zhong, the elite of the Han army, who were also good at fighting in the mountains and forests, launched a sweep against the barbarians living in Jiaozhou. Killing the enemy chieftain and capturing the enemy is the attitude of the Han towards those barbarians. Those barbarian kings who used to be powerful and blessed became ghosts under the sword of the Han army, and those barbarians with ordinary identities were captured by the Han army and migrated to various places in the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei also thought about doing this when he was alive, but he didn't have enough money in his hands, and it was easy to do this with the result of magpie's nest dove. But Liu Xie is different, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he has enough capital in his hands for him to squander, and the captured barbarians do not even have a million, and for the vast Han Dynasty, these barbarians who are less than a million are thrown into it without even making a sound.

Everyone has the habit of holding together, and even in later generations, this habit still exists. Those who are in other places often use their hometown as a criterion to distinguish themselves from outsiders. When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears. But in the same way, it is also a human habit for the minority to obey the majority, and those with few people generally do not dare to make trouble. The barbarians who were relocated to various places by the imperial court were only a minority in the local area, and they did not dare to make trouble easily, and after ten or twenty years, these people merged with the locals, and they would not easily make trouble.

The unknown life and death of Shamoke became the best excuse for the Han army to send troops to the barbarian tribes, and Shamoke, who "escaped" the pursuit of the Han army again and again, gradually became a legend in Jiaozhou. Of course, these are not things that Liu Xie needs to care about, leaving Wang Ping, Wu Tugu, Zhang Wei, and Ma Zhong behind, how to use Shamoke is a matter for the four of them, anyway, Liu Xie has already told the four of them the ultimate goal, and how to operate depends on the ability of the four of them. As for Liu Xie himself, he took Sima Yi, Cao Zhang and others to return north to Chang'an, preparing to sacrifice to the sky to announce the great news of the world, and the Han Dynasty was reunified.

……

After the great chaos, there will be great governance, this is the inevitable law. The war within the Han Dynasty has ended, and the people who have suffered from the war can finally breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, ordinary people don't care who is the Son of Heaven, they often care most about the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in front of them, as long as they can ensure their survival needs, they don't care who is the emperor.

The people of Jiangdong originally belonged to Sun Quan's rule, but they did not show opposition to Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, on the contrary, due to the subsequent policy of appeasing the people promulgated by the imperial court, most of the people accepted the reality of changing to a "new owner" with peace of mind. Of course, there are also people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, but these people have no good end, either their heads fall to the ground or they have become "hard labor" driven by the government, and they have made meritorious contributions.

For these people, Liu Xie has no sympathy at all, no eyesight at all, and the world is unified and he still jumps out to make trouble, and he deserves to suffer. Maybe after suffering for a while, it is not necessary to be able to learn to be obedient at all. If you still don't accept the lesson, then this black sheep is better off staying.

Liu Xie and his entourage did not go to Xiangyang, but chose to go to Jiangdong first. Jiaozhou is still in the midst of war, and those barbarians who have been settled in Jiaozhou by Liu Bei are being cleared by the Han army, and it is not beneficial for Liu Xie to go to Jiaozhou at this time. And the new fall of Jiangdong is exactly the time when Liu Xie needs to come forward to appease people's hearts.

The first stop was Huiji, and seeing that He Da was alone in the crowd that went out of the city to greet him, Liu Xie beckoned and asked He Da softly: "How is Ling Zun lately?" ”

"There is Lao Sheng's question, my father is still in good health, but he can't come to wait for the holy driver in person because of his inconvenience." Heda hurriedly replied.

"It's okay, your father has contributed a lot to the imperial court's recovery of Jiangdong, and I will visit the mansion when I have time." Liu Xie said with a generous smile.

He Qi is not dead, this is something that Liu Xie has known for a long time. Chibi was on fire, and the clever He Qi left after setting the fire and led his troops to leave by water, although he suffered an accident on the way to retreat and lost a leg, but his life was unhindered. After sneaking back to Huiji under the escort of the second son He Jing, Sun Quan did not know that He Qi was not killed in battle, so he relaxed his vigilance against the He family, and as a result, He Qi, who was hiding in the shadows and planning everything, succeeded. It was He Qi who instructed his son to cut off Sun Quan's way of fleeing south in Huiji, so that Sun Quan had to be trapped in Jianye, and finally had to return to the imperial court.

Now that He Qi is missing a leg, his career is over. But He Qi's brain is not bad, as a smart person who understands current affairs, He Qi knows very well what kind of position the He family should be in the court at this time. He Da and He Jing are not the material that can sit on one side, and letting them stay in Huiji will not be beneficial to the future of the He family.

Huiji is indeed the foundation of the He family, but it is not a good thing for the He family at this time. The unification of the world has just been completed, and the local heroes are the key targets of the imperial court. If the He family continues to stay in Huiji, they will teach the truth, and supporting the army will cause death.

In order to make the future of the He family look forward to something, He Qi decisively gave up the interests of the He family in Huiji, and took the opportunity of Liu Xie's visit to the mansion to seek Liu Xie's intentions, and included his two sons in the army of the Son of Heaven, and the He family will leave Huiji soon after to settle in Chang'an.

And with the He family as an example, those families in Jiangdong who don't know how to please the current saint Liu Xie seem to have opened their minds all of a sudden, although they can't leave Jiangdong with their families like the He family, but recommending the important children of their clan to Liu Xie has become something that every Jiangdong family will do.

By the time Liu Xie's team arrived in Jianye, one or two of the important sons of almost all the Jiangdong families had become members of Liu Xie's pro-army of the Son of Heaven. And Liu Xie doesn't care that there are so many dozens of people in his own army, he knows very well the reason why the Jiangdong family is doing this, and if he wants to appease people's hearts at this time, he naturally has to cooperate. As for whether to reuse these people, that's another matter.

Liu Xie came to Jianye, appeasing people's hearts is only secondary, what can the family do if they are not at ease, now that the imperial army is on the side, if there is any change, it will be destroyed directly, who dares to act rashly. Liu Xie's visit to Jianye this time was to make arrangements for the future naval army of the imperial court. South Boat and North Horse, Jiangdong was already good at the naval army, and at this time, the imperial court recovered Jiangdong, so naturally it would not let Jiangdong's strengths go.

At this time, the troubled times can be declared over, in order to give the people a rest and recuperation, the military affairs of the Han Dynasty will be suspended, and the court will also devote more energy to restoring the people's livelihood. But the belligerent will die, forget the war will be dangerous, don't look at the Han at this time there is no strong enemy around, but this external disaster is like the weeds on the grassland, the spring breeze blows and grows, it is absolutely difficult to completely eradicate, Liu Xie does not want to wait for the future generations of children and grandchildren to suffer a big loss before they work hard, want to start to prevent trouble at this time. Even if he can't immediately invest huge manpower and material resources to arrange it, Liu Xie wants to build the shelves first, and then supplement and improve them little by little.

Today's Han Dynasty has just ended the troubled times, and the population has also suffered serious losses due to the war, and the number of Han people in the land of Shenzhou is less than 20 million. But Liu Xie knew that this was only temporary, and that as peace came, the population of Dahan would blow out in a few years. In ancient times, there were few entertainment activities, and they also pursued the habit of sleeping and waking up. Unlike the colorful nightlife of later generations, many people who have no worries about food and clothing at eleven or twelve o'clock in the middle of the night is the time when they are most energetic.

The lack of entertainment has left many people with the activity of having children, and they no longer have to worry about being affected by the scourge of war and the traditional concept of having more children and more blessings.

Liu Xie had no opinion on population growth back then, and one more person meant one more tax for the imperial court, one more young man, and one more available person. But in the same way, the land of Shenzhou is so big, and the number of people who can support it is also limited. When overwhelmed, it means that the world's forces will face the possibility of reshuffling.

Liu Xie, who did not want this to happen, could not limit the growth of the population, and the only solution was to expand the territory. However, the means of transportation on land are backward, and once there is a situation that is beyond the reach of the whip, the situation of self-reliance in the remote place will definitely appear. At that time, the imperial court sent troops to conscript, which was another time-consuming and laborious loss-making business.

Liu Xie didn't expect to see the rapid reaction speed of the future generations in his lifetime, and it was not possible. Liu Xie knows about the industrial revolution, but the problem is that the industrial revolution does not appear all at once, but needs to be continuously accumulated and explored, so that the phenomenon of quantitative change to qualitative change occurs. Just knowing how the steam engine works, there is an egg!

If you don't expect to make any big achievements on land, you can only look at the sea, and there are many small countries in Southeast Asia in later generations, with countless islands, but now it is a wild land, except for some savages squatting on trees and eating bananas, it will not pose any threat to the big Han.

Strike first! Liu Xie didn't want to leave any hidden dangers for future generations, taking advantage of the fact that the right to speak was in his own hands at this time, Liu Xie could willfully cut the biggest piece of cake for the Han. The land of Sanhan is the first piece, and Liu Xie has used the land of Sanhan as a springboard to set his sights on the four islands of the Wa Kingdom.

It's just a strait, which can't stop Liu Xie's ambition to expand. And if you want to make your wishes come true, a strong and invincible navy is indispensable. This time, Sun Quan surrendered at the last moment, Liu Xie didn't feel anything to be happy about, what really made Liu Xie feel that he had earned was that most of the generals in Jiangdong who were familiar with water warfare also followed Sun Quan to submit to the imperial court.

For Sun Quan, Liu Xie will not be reused, for Sun Ce's sake, at most Sun Quan will be arranged for an idle official with little authority in the court. But water warriors like Lu Meng and Ding Feng who are proficient in water warfare must not be idle. Liu Xie is not worried about what will happen to these people, losing the big tree of Sun Quan to rely on, if Lu Meng and the others don't want to die of old age, serving the court is their only way out.

Under Liu Xie's vision, the two fleets of the east and south of the Han Dynasty were born. The East China Sea Fleet, with Sun Ce as the governor and Zhou Yu as the military division, was under the jurisdiction of Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng and other generals, and was mainly responsible for all affairs in the eastern sea of the Han Dynasty. The South China Sea Fleet has Tai Shici as the governor and Lu Xun as the military advisor, and the generals Lu Meng, Ding Feng, Pan Zhang, Chen Wu and other generals under its jurisdiction, and are mainly responsible for all matters in the southern sea of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xie's current requirements for the two fleets are not high, and it is enough to reach a tacit understanding as soon as possible to form combat strength. As for when to go out for the country? Naturally, it is a matter of waiting until the two sides have passed the run-in period, and they can rest assured that they will hand over their backs to their companions. Liu Xie is looking forward to the future performance of the two fleets.
