Noon.
Under the attention of millions of people, Liu Tai wore a crown, a scepter in his hand, and a five-clawed dragon robe, officially announcing his ascension to the throne and becoming emperor. During the reign of emperor, Liu Tai established the implementation of the six-ministry system, confirmed the reform of the military system, and confirmed the actual surname of the land divided for the people in northern Xinjiang over the years.
After all, the land sub-feudal system is the foundation of a country's long-term prosperity, and if the land in the hands of the people cannot be guaranteed, then the Northern Han Dynasty established by Liu Tai will sooner or later repeat the mistakes of the Eastern Han Dynasty and even the Western Han Dynasty.
If the people want to get private land, the first point is to register in the household department in the next five years, and the people who entered the household before that do not need to repeat, most of the people who have not entered the household are in southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains, and the people in these areas must register within a time limit before they can get private land, private land has no term of use, there is no so-called court lease, and the court will never take any name to recover the land from the people and collect rental fees. (Equivalent exchange, such as demolition and relocation.) In addition, Liu Tai announced that from now on, no matter the gate lords, scholars, merchants, officials, and large households, they can not encroach on the land of the people in any name, and the land under the name of the people cannot be bought and sold under any circumstances.
If the emperors after Liu Tai can faithfully implement Liu Tai's legal system, then the future Chinese nation, even if there is a possibility of the annexation of land by the gate, it is absolutely impossible to appear in the past few hundred years, as for the matter of a few hundred years later, Liu Tai will not think about it, and he is not in the mood to think about it.
At present, the land system of the Han Dynasty is distributed according to the head, in a family, if there are only three people, then the allocated land is naturally not as much as five, and those large families, if the population is prosperous, then the land will naturally not be less, of course, it is absolutely impossible to compare with the land that the gate valve once occupied, if these lands are planted with crops, they can only ensure that they do not starve and freeze, and can get a certain amount of surplus money, as for wanting to hoard food in a big way, then it is a bit of a fool's dream.
The Han people's concept of land is very heavy, the main reason why Liu Tai's pace of unifying the world has been getting slower and slower in recent years is the obstruction of the gate lord clan, because they know very well that as long as Liu Tai's Tianci army occupies their homeland, then the land that belongs to them will be taken back by the imperial court.
It is a pity that the general trend is not something that an individual can compete with a certain interest group. Although it is said that the time for Liu Tai to unify the world has been delayed a lot, this delayed time has indeed cleared a lot of obstacles for Liu Tai, otherwise, only by virtue of Liu Tai's enthronement ceremony for the people to divide the land, there will be very big resistance.
Of course, Liu Tai is not a monarch who cuts off people's lives, although most of the gate lord clans are the evil side, but there are also many good families among them, those families spend time with the people in times of trouble, and the gate lord clan who pays money and food to support a piece of the sky for the people, Liu Tai is still very polite. Winning over a group, suppressing a group, and killing a group is the essence of Liu Tai's deal with the gate lord clan.
Although these clans in the wooing list also lost their land, they were able to receive strong commercial funding from the imperial court, as well as Liu Tai's priority for the future imperial court's colonial plans. Now the status of the Han merchants is getting higher and higher, because Liu Tai deliberately revealed the colonial plan to the court and the opposition, so that those gate lords and scholars are interested in becoming colonial merchants of the imperial court!
What does colonizer mean? That's the little lord who rules the colony! Now, because of the continuous strengthening of the ability of Dahan Navigation, not long ago, Liu Tai spent a lot of money to build ports in Wuxian and Longzhou Heilongjiang areas, and countless warships and merchant ships went to sea one after another, sailing to the unknown sea, bringing back a lot of good news.
For example, Wu County discovered Hainan Island, which is not far from Yizhou, and landed on Hainan Island. In this era, Hainan Island was called Zhuya Prefecture, and as early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was divided into two counties, Zhuya and Dan'er. Theoretically, Zhuya Prefecture is the inherent territory of the Han Dynasty, but its surname is similar to that of Yizhou, and has been ignored by the imperial court, and there is no official government on its island, which belongs to the scope of the three regards.
Now the merchant ships of Wu County have discovered Hainan Island and determined the road map and ensured the safety of the landing, which is naturally a great credit, of course, because Hainan Island is the inherent territory of China in Liu Tai's heart, so Liu Tai cannot give this place to the merchants as a colony, but the compensation is to give, Liu Tai not only gave a large number of money, food, materials and five large merchant ships to the merchant ships who discovered Hainan Island, and even gave a nautical warrior the title
It is conceivable that Liu Tai's series of rewards did arouse the mercenary surname of the businessman. Driven by profits, merchants spent a lot of money to buy merchant ships from several shipyards set up by the imperial court, as well as some ordinary long-range artillery armed merchant ships. In this atmosphere, large-scale merchant ships went to sea and discovered countless islands above the sea, and the imperial court also stipulated that as long as the islands close to the mainland were regarded as the inherent territory of the imperial court, they could not be given to merchants as colonies.
In order to let the merchants focus more on the colonial cause, Liu Tai even determined the direction for the merchants, for example, in the south of Yizhou, that is, in the southeast of Zhuya Prefecture, there is a very large sea continent. This continent is no less than a state in Dahan, it is rich in products, and the natives have no actual political power, and it belongs to the uncivilized social atmosphere, as long as the merchant can land on this island first, and bring back the navigation charts and some information on its land for the imperial court, he can get an astronomical reward from the imperial court!
In addition, the first merchant to bring back a road map for the imperial court will also be able to obtain a colony of a county on its land. Of course, the garrison of the colony can be stationed by the imperial court, or mercenaries can be organized by the merchants themselves to garrison, guard, and occupy the land in the hands of the natives.
In Liu Tai's view, the future Han people should not be a group of sheep under the protection of the imperial court, but everyone will look at the magnificent sea like a wolf, dig wealth from the sea, for the nation, for the country, bring back countless resources, navigation charts, and the power of other countries, so that the country is ready to send troops to expand the territory at any time.
The cultivation of colonial merchants and the emergence of colonies are still in the early stage, so Liu Tai did not spend too much effort, after all, everything must be done steadily, if you are too anxious to develop the maritime industry, it is likely to cause heavy losses to those merchants and the imperial court.
The most important thing is that before carrying out the great cause of navigation, the problem of Yizhou must be solved first, in fact, when Liu Tai added the title of the kings of Tianxi Prefecture, hundreds of officials and even Liu Bei and others in Yizhou felt that Liu Tai would never allow Yizhou to read outside!
Why? Because Yizhou is the inherent territory of the imperial court in Liu Tai's heart, it is absolutely impossible for a king to appear on the inherent territory! Otherwise, why didn't Liu Tai crown Liu Bei as king? In terms of qualifications and bloodline, Liu Bei should be crowned king, but the problem is that Liu Bei not only was not crowned king, but even Yizhoumu's position may be revoked!
Earlier, Liu Tai added Liu Bei as the Taishou of Baodao County, but because the actual area of Yizhou is not small, although it is not as large as Yangzhou and Jingzhou, it will not be small compared with Yuzhou and other places, and it is lonely overseas, at that time, it happened to be the time when the Tianci Army returned to the north in triumph, in order to stabilize Liu Bei in Yizhou, Liu Tai immediately crowned Liu Bei as Yizhou Mu, Baodao County is divided into four, namely Taipei County, Tainan County, Penghu County, of which Taichung County is also known as Baodao County, so in fact, Baodao County has not been revoked, but it is more subdivided.
And Liu Bei was also promoted from the original Baodao County Taishou to Yizhou Prefecture, and Liu Tai named him the Marquis of Changhua, canceling the title and fief of the original Marquis of Wu, so that Liu Bei completely broke away from the Central Plains and became the first overseas marquis of the Han Dynasty.
At that time, Liu Tai's reward did cause a small shock, and some people even speculated that Liu Tai was very likely to crown Liu Bei as king within half a year to ensure the stability of the southeastern waters of the Han Dynasty. You must know that Liu Bei Ke, who is currently in Yizhou, has more than 100,000 mercenaries, most of whom are elite sailors, and if he makes trouble on the coastline of Yangzhou, it will definitely bring great trouble to the imperial court.
And Liu Bei was also promoted from the original Baodao County Taishou to Yizhou Prefecture, and Liu Tai named him the Marquis of Changhua, canceling the title and fief of the original Marquis of Wu, so that Liu Bei completely broke away from the Central Plains and became the first overseas marquis of the Han Dynasty.
But in fact, after the sealing of Yizhou Mu, Liu Bei never received any reward from Liu Tai, and even the official state pastoral seal, Liu Tai did not let people send it to Yizhou, as if he had taken a blind attitude towards Yizhou. And Liu Bei, who was "left out in the cold", can be regarded as a heroic figure, he didn't make a fuss at all, developed in Yizhou safely and steadily, and even encouraged the people to build stone walls and watchtowers in the north bank of Yizhou, that is, the landing site of the Jiangdong Navy Division earlier, to increase the defense of the imperial court.
Liu Bei is not angry, but he does not dare to be angry, some time ago, it was said that Liu Tai in order to stabilize Tianxi, the news of crowning Sun Jian and others as kings reached Liu Bei's ears, Liu Bei almost exploded his lungs, if it wasn't for his enemy Kong Yun to pull it to death, maybe the first battle of Yizhou to counterattack the Central Plains would have begun.
Liu Bei is also a human being, but also a man, men always want to save face, right? Over the years, Liu Tai has been approaching step by step, not to mention, after Liu Bei completely put down the shelf, praying for Liu Tai in exchange for the stability of the Yizhou side, in this case, can Liu Bei not be angry?
But no matter how angry he is, the disparity in strength between the two sides makes Liu Bei dare not act rashly, you know, Liu Tai not only wantonly expanded the port in Wu County, but also placed the fleet of 60,000 sailors in Wu County.
Of course, Liu Bei is a prince, and he also has enough hole cards, although it is unlikely that the Yizhou Naval Division will counterattack the Central Plains, but in Liu Bei's opinion, it is also a fool's dream that the Tianci Army Naval Division wants to capture Yizhou. You must know that in the past, Liu Bei went from discovering the landing site of Yizhou, then groping for the island, and finally developing to completely occupy Yizhou, and it took no less than ten years before and after!
Ten years, how much perseverance does it take?
But Liu Bei finally seized the hegemony of Yizhou from the natives of Yizhou. At that time, Yizhou, although there was a huge difference between it and the Jiangdong Navy Division in all aspects, could restrain the Jiangdong Navy Division to death by virtue of its geographical advantages, and the Jiangdong Navy Division suffered heavy losses several times, and even Liu Bei had to give up Yizhou several times.
Now, more than 100,000 Jiangdong sailors are entrenched in Yizhou, forming the largest protection capability in Yizhou. If the Tianci army forcibly captures Yizhou, it is impossible not to pay twice as much as the loss of the Jiangdong Navy! Even if they pay twice as much as the losses, the Heavenly Army may not be able to capture Yizhou!
You must know that the reason for restricting the Tianci army and sailors is not only the favorable time and place, the unsuitable water and soil, etc., but also a bigger reason, that is, Yizhou almost condenses about 30% of the gate valve forces in the Central Plains and southern Xinjiang. These clan lords don't see much use in ordinary times, but the money, food, materials and huge connections they have in their hands are unimaginable to ordinary people.
Those who can give up their homeland and retreat to Yizhou, almost without exception are the representatives of the gate lord clan who hate Liu Tai to the core, if Liu Tai crosses the sea to conquer Yizhou, Liu Bei can ensure that all aspects of the future are worry-free, in this case, the difficulties of the Tianci army's southern expedition to Yizhou can be imagined.
It is conceivable how confident Liu Bei, who has received the full help of the gate lord clan, is confident in holding Yizhou, as for not getting the throne, there is actually no loss for Liu Bei, after all, Liu Bei is the real uncrowned king in Yizhou, what about one less king? No big deal!
Of course, it is inevitable to have a pimple in your heart. Anyone who passes by the throne will be dissatisfied, in the Han Dynasty, the king, represents the monarch second only to the emperor, if Liu Bei can get the canonization of the imperial court, then in Yizhou, Liu Bei's position will be more prominent, with the king, Liu Bei can really control the door valve, the scholars and even the people below.
However, for Liu Bei, a hero who is good at forbearance, even if there is a big pimple, he can still be suppressed in his heart, in Liu Bei's opinion, as long as he permanently occupies Yizhou, he will one day be able to get the royal title of the imperial court, in this case, why should Liu Bei be in a hurry?
In fact, Liu Bei didn't know that the time in Liu Tai's heart to capture Yizhou, even before the Western Colony Plan, now the colonial merchants from Wuxian and other places have contributed to Liu Tai Zhuyazhou, the front-line base for attacking Yizhou, as long as the Tianci army sailor can get used to the water and soil conditions of Zhuyazhou, there will naturally be no problem in Yizhou, when the time comes, there will be no restraint in water and soil, and the time can be offset, with only one geographical advantage, can Liu Bei block the hundreds of thousands of Tianci army sailors?
No one knows!
If Liu Bei can gain insight into the real situation of the current imperial court and Liu Tai's imperative victory over Yizhou, I believe that even if Liu Bei can't bear it anymore, no matter how conscious he is, he will give up Yizhou and go south to find new territory. But all this is still unknown!
