At this moment, both Hongye Zen Master and Zhang Lu were a little convinced that Liu Zhang was really the reincarnation of the Red Emperor.

Liu Zhang directly cursed his children and grandchildren, for the matter of opium, Liu Zhang did not hesitate to curse himself and his own children and grandchildren, because this is indeed harmful, this curse is to leave it to his future generations, so that they can be vigilant, and opium must not appear in the Han Dynasty.

"Not only will my Liu family suffer from heaven's curse, but the people of the Han Dynasty will also suffer great disasters, so the holy relics cannot appear in the Han Dynasty, whoever wants to let my descendants of the Liu family and the people of the Han Dynasty suffer from God's punishment, I and my descendants will never show mercy.

In my Liu Zhang's life, whoever distributed the 'holy relics' to the Han people would be killed by the whole family and even the whole clan, and the monks and foreigners were no exception, although they were far away.

I will also pass on this prohibition, the two masters must remember. ”

"Remember."

"Amitabha."

Zhang Lu and Zen Master Hongye promised at the same time.

Liu Zhang nodded slowly.

In fact, Liu Zhang was never worried that opium could not be promoted in the Japanese slave country, even if it was not brought to the Japanese slave country by Buddhists and Taoists in the form of "holy relics", as long as it was rumored that someone in the past discovered the addictive effect of opium, it would definitely become popular.

During the Ming Dynasty, opium was transmitted to the Ming Dynasty as a form of tribute, and soon became a royal thing, and the emperor relied on it for fun, and even took it as an aphrodisiac, such as ascending to the fairyland.

In the late Manchu Dynasty, smoking cigarettes while playing with women became a high-end enjoyment for the aristocracy.

As long as someone tried this kind of thing, the people behind it came one after another, and it was only because Liu Zhang needed to see effect as soon as possible in order to implement the next strategy that he used the spread of Buddhism and Taoism.

Opium is Pandora's box. But Liu Zhang doesn't open it, someone always opens it. Don't open now. Someone will open it up in the future, unless Liu Zhang can lead troops to the Mediterranean Sea now and eradicate the opium poppy, a plant with great adaptability.

Since this magic box will definitely be opened, why didn't the Great Han become the president of the East India Company, but let the ignorant future generations eventually become the victims of the Qing Empire?

What's more, after the rapid effect of opium, the next strategy pursued by Liu Zhang could at least make the Han rulers realize the horror of opium.

The Japanese were rich in silver and gold, and opium could turn all Japanese into slaves. When a large amount of gold and silver is imported into the Han Dynasty, the people of the Han Dynasty should also realize the disadvantages of opium when they see the benefits of opium, right?

At that time, Liu Zhang will announce a ban to the world, prohibiting the entry of all derivatives of opium poppies, and at the same time popularize the disadvantages of opium poppies.

With the tragedy of the Japanese slave country in front, at least it won't be as ignorant as the Ming Emperor and the late Qing nobles, right?

At that time, the Japanese slave country was already deeply opium-grown. The whole country is erosive, and it can't resist the Han in terms of force. can only continue to be enslaved, and when the shipping of the Han Dynasty develops, the country's radiation power becomes stronger, and it is not impossible for the Japanese slave state, which nominally belongs to the Han Dynasty, to completely become the territory of the Han Dynasty.

"The Buddhism of karma, the Taoism of pure heart and few desires, plus opium, if this can't destroy you from the bud, then you can't talk about it."

Liu Zhang knew that he was still in the wilderness of the Japanese slave country, so he took such measures, which was a bit excessive, and it was even more neurotic in the eyes of the world, but Liu Zhang would still do this, and people from later generations would have a different impression of the Japanese slave country emotionally.

But what Liu Zhang didn't expect was that after this spread, Liu Zhang presented the Red Leaf Zen Master as the reincarnation of the Red Emperor, and the news of Zhang Tianshi's holy fruit spread far and wide, and everyone remembered the original proverb "The Red Emperor is reincarnated, and the mandate of heaven is crowned king", and Liu Zhang's prestige has reached a peak.

What Liu Zhang didn't expect was that he was originally dealing with Japan, which opened the glorious era of navigation of the Han Dynasty, which can also be said to be the era of great colonization.

As for the remote Japanese slave countries that wanted to be included in the territory, later generations of Han people never suspected that it was the territory of the Han Dynasty, and its status was very important, because it was the largest departure base of the Great Colonial Fleet on the ocean.

……

Everything is going according to plan, the golden fat poppy is planted in Siyang County, the beautiful poppies are blooming all over the plantations, the army is closely guarded, and no one outside knows what is going on inside Siyang County.

This was just a temporary planting base for Liu Zhang, just to provide the first batch of opium to the missionaries, and the future planting base would never be in Dahan.

In the spring, the first batch of rattan armor was baked, within half a year, rattan armor was produced in batches, and at the same time soaking and making 40,000 rattan armor was formed, Liu Zhang selected 40,000 elite soldiers to dress and train, and the 10,000 rattan armor produced later sealed in the treasury for later use.

The long-range compound bow produced 20,000, forming an independent army of 20,000 archers, and Su Lan sent the original archers into the new army as generals and trained them personally.

Strong crossbowmen, single-shot sniper crossbowmen, and strong bowmen have entered the training stage.

The Dawan horse in the Western Regions was transported back through the post station, and the loss rate was far lower than Liu Zhang's expectations, the Dawan horse was originally a thousand miles of horse, and the Xiaowu Emperor transported back the Dawan horse could not go to the Xiongnu grassland, but could only go to the hinterland of the Western Regions with complex terrain, of course, there were many losses.

However, after returning from the northern grasslands of the Western Regions, the loss was minimal, and Liu Zhang even thought that even if there was no post station, these Dawan horses should be able to be transported back.

However, Liu Zhang does not plan to abandon those post stations, even if all the Dawan horses are transported back, they will never be abandoned, those post stations can effectively control the Western Regions, and even threaten the Kushan Empire, not only will they not be abandoned, Liu Zhang plans to wait for the funds to be abundant and expand again.

Dawan horses formed a powerful light cavalry, Liu Zhang assigned Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Wang Shuang and other cavalry generals to train, Dawan horses galloping momentum made the elite cavalry involved in the training shocked.

The heavy cavalry expanded to 20,000 people, and the veteran Huang Zhong trained with 5,000 heavy cavalry as the base axis.

All arms of the armed forces are ready to wait for the outbreak of a major war.

The red vetch and pumpkin were harvested, and the government did not pay the compensation for the reduced yield, because there was no need for it.

Farmers began to worry that these crops would not be successful, after all, after all, their livelihoods were at stake, and they refused to try to plant new crops, until the government promised to pay the equivalent compensation if the yield was reduced, and the farmers had no worries, so they began to try to plant.

Now after the harvest. The peasants were almost stunned. Watching the family harvest mountains of red pumpkins. They could hardly believe that they had never seen so much grain except in the former warehouse of the landlord's house.

At this time, they have not yet adapted to this kind of harvest, and they are just thinking about how many years they will have to eat so much grain.

But Liu Zhang clearly knows that after this kind of production explodes, it will inevitably rise in commerce and animal husbandry.

Liu Zhang had already made certain preparations for this, and in order to avoid waste, the government began to purchase a large number of surplus grain. It is used for the cultivation of government pastures.

Liu Zhang is not short of livestock, after the Xianbei grassland was occupied by the Di and Han people, a large number of cattle and sheep were in surplus, and there were many lambs and calves.

After seeing the business opportunity, merchants from all walks of life went out one after another to buy grain for their own livestock farms, and originally thought that such a bumper harvest could be purchased at a lower price.

However, Zhang Song, the president of the bank, issued a price limit order, and the businessmen realized that the price limit order was not only to prevent them from selling at a high price. It will also prevent them from buying at a low price.

With the government devouring a large amount of overproduction, the prices of crops such as red vetch and pumpkin remained at reasonable levels.

And this brought countless money to the peasants in the Sichuan military area. The bank's numismatic workshops were working day and night, and could barely keep up with the demand, so they had to expand their numismatic workshops.

After the peasants had money, all kinds of extravagant daily necessities in the past, and the daily necessities and farm tools that they had to make themselves, were purchased at home one after another.

Since the Battle of Guanzhong, whether it is the expansion of the Cao Cao clan or the huge compensation in Jiangdong, the economy of Hebei and Jiangdong has suffered a heavy blow, and the people in the Sichuan military area have been better off than the people in the two places.

And now almost overnight, a few streets in two places have been thrown off, even if the clan is tightly sealed, it cannot prevent the news from invading, and the people of Hebei and Jiangdong have been restless.

In particular, Hebei, which was already dissatisfied with the political pattern of the Shi clan's control of Cao Cao and continued to resist, coupled with the nourishment of foreign races and the imposition of additional taxes, was dissatisfied to a critical point, and sporadic riots began to rise under the instigation of the Sichuan army spies.

The government facilities in the Hetao are still under construction, but a large number of merchants have moved in, and in the interior, the processing of red lotus and pumpkin is flourishing, while in the Hetao, the processing of animal animals is all the rage.

This can not only supplement the meat of the Han people, but also the grassland people's favorite sight.

Now that the Han people have money, of course they want to eat meat, and they also want to wear warm animal skin clothes.

As long as the grassland herders do not encounter disasters, they still have surplus meat to sell, which can bring them money and buy other living utensils to improve their lives.

What's more, Liu Zhang asked Xun You, the general manager of the Western Grassland Metropolitan Protectorate, to do one thing, that is, to try to change the herdsmen's eating habits, eating meat every day is too wasteful, can you eat some rice?

This is not something that can be done in a short period of time, but after exchanging meat for rice, it will definitely be more secure, and it is impossible for herders to sell all the meat, and they will still eat mainly meat, which is not a complete change in eating habits.

Under the vigorous promotion, some poor small tribes began to accept, which was more conducive to commercial exchanges between the interior and the grassland.

The processing workshops, artisan workshops, and businesses of various merchants settled in Hetao, and Xun You presided over the construction of roads from Meiji City in Hetao to Chang'an and other cities.

In order to speed up the progress and dredge the logistics, many businessmen donated money and materials, and the construction of various sections of these roads was almost at the same time, which was extremely fast.

With the military as the guarantee and integration as the main policy, the control of the grassland formed a good start, and the first four examinations of the grassland were held in the autumn, although there were few applicants, only some tribal upper-class sons came to the symbolic examination, and the words were not fully recognized.

But as long as the four imperial examinations begin, as long as fairness and authority are guaranteed, it will surely ignite the struggle of the lower classes, and when the herdsmen begin to learn Han culture, they will look at the words "I am a Han Chinese" every day, and finally select officials from among these people.

One day, the grasslands will be completely under the control of the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang Pang Tong deserves to be the Wolong and Phoenix Chick, Pang Tong led the border army to garrison Dawan Kingdom, and cooperated with Du Wei, the capital of the Western Regions, the Western Regions was at least stable, and the Guishan Empire took the initiative to send ambassadors to make friends with the Han Dynasty and recognized the belonging of Dawan and the entire Western Regions.

Zhuge Liang, together with Cai Wei and Zhu Rong, the control of the Han Dynasty over Dian Prefecture increased, and now the Baking Hammer King oblique thorn hole, Mulu King Bana Cave, and the Wutu Bone Ugo Kingdom include Yang Feng Yinye Cave and Mengjie Yinpit Cave, which were previously surrendered, etc., not a territory but also equivalent to a small marquis at most.

The Han Dynasty's control over Dian Prefecture increased dramatically.

Jiaozhou was originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, and after all the clans were emptied, the economy declined sharply, but after Jingzhou Yizhou mobilized materials to enter, Zhuge Liang Cai Wei completely settled Jiaozhou.

Luo Yue and other countries in the south hurriedly sent envoys into Chang'an to express their submission to the Han Dynasty, but Liu Zhang did not give a clear statement, which meant that Zhuge Liang would watch it.

Under the condition of not destroying the stability of Jiaozhou and Yunnanzhou, we can take advantage of it, and we are not in a hurry if we can't take advantage of it.

The border is stable, the military is strong, and the food is abundant, and the time has come for the Sichuan army to start a great war of reunification.

For example, in today's pattern, the Shi clan controls Hebei and Qingzhou in the name of Cao Cao, and Yanzhou and Xuzhou are nominally under the Wei army, but in fact, in front of the Sichuan army, the Wei army does not intend to defend at all, and has already withdrawn supplies to Hebei.

And Sima Yi made a futile move, that is, he sent Zhou Ce, the former military advisor of Wu Jun, to the east of Yuzhou, in a vain attempt to hold the Yingshui defense line, but he didn't expect the resourceful Zhou Ce to agree.

Liu Zhang didn't understand, but he wasn't afraid of any conspiracy, in the face of absolute strength, there was no conspiracy.

Jiangdong is still a predicament, the Shizu army guards the outside, Sun Quan stays in the area of Wu County, and cooperates inside and outside, only Yu Ban and Jia Xu's naval army is in an embarrassing position, after the coup in Hebei, they don't know who to attribute, they can only get by when the Sichuan army is not attacking.

The speed of shipbuilding is much faster than the speed of training a naval army, and the explosive power of the largest family in the world of the Xu family is amazing, and in one year, it has built a fleet that is enough to carry eight thousand people.

When Liu Zhang and Xu Zhaoxue got married, Liu Zhang used two fighting ships as a dowry and handed them over to the Xu family, and the entire fleet of the Xu family carried 12,000 people, 8,000 Xu family children and die-hard family members, and 4,000 missionaries.

Of course, not all of these 4,000 missionaries are Buddhism and Taoism, to be precise, there are many fake monks and fake Taoists, all of whom were sent in by Liu Zhang.

These fake monks and fake Taoist priests are not to monitor the Xu family, but to promote missionary work, and Liu Zhang needs the "holy fruit" to be quickly implemented and popular in the Japanese slave country.

A year later, Xu Zhen, a son of the Xu family, led a huge fleet across the mouth of the Yangtze River without encountering any obstacles, loaded with 8,000 soldiers, 4,000 missionaries, and a large amount of opium produced and processed in Siyang County into the Pacific Ocean.

In the autumn of 208 AD, after the autumn harvest, Liu Zhang ordered the Yingshui defense line, the Hugaoguan defense line, the Bingzhou defense line, the Jiangxia defense line, and the Chaisang defense line to launch a full-scale attack on the Wei and Wu armies.

He personally led a variety of new-style troops, sent a letter to Guguan, passed through the land of Heluo, crossed the state and entered the north of Hebei, and joined more than 400,000 grassland soldiers, pointing to the Xianbei and Wuhuan armies that had been stationed in Youzhou for nearly a year.
