Chapter 149: Establishment of the Two Counties of Hairpin Ring
Li Han continued to point to the map and said: "Look, this is the Yinshan Mountain Range, this thousand miles of land can be cultivated and pastured, backed by the Han Dynasty, facing the Xiongnu, the Shimen barrier area is even more choked by the Xiongnu to invade the throat of Wuyuan County, the geographical location is very important, Yizhi Xian must also feel that it is too close to the Han Dynasty to defend, so he gave it to me very generously." ”
"A thousand miles, a lot! It's just that you fled back from the Huns, is King Zuoguli still willing to admit it? Prime Minister Cheng rubbed his hands excitedly and asked.
"He didn't dare to deny it." Zhang Fangda said proudly: "He has been scared by my lord, and now he is fighting with the military ministers endlessly, where can he distinguish the spirit to provoke us, he will never dare to take back this thousand miles of land." ”
Li Han smiled and said, "Yes, he doesn't dare to admit it." Everyone is looking at this side, next to the Xianbei section, it is also a thousand miles, that is, Zhang Gong just told you that I sang the empty city plan, in the west of the Xiongnu, this is the territory of the left bone capital Hou Lansati, and it also belongs to me, even if Lansati hates me to the core, I am afraid that he will not dare to openly challenge me, I am just personal, I am behind me is a brilliant man. ”
"yes, yes! They are still too busy to take care of themselves, how dare they offend my Han Tianwei. ”
"So what does the lord want to do? Send troops into these two lands? ”
Li Han shook his head slightly and smiled: "What the kid means is that these two pieces of land are not small, but they are not big, and they can be set up in the Great Han Hairpin County, which is called the Hairpin County at the foot of Yin Mountain, and the West is called the Hairpin County No. 2."
Our Han sent troops to station, and it is not easy to defend if it is weak. The second is that the local area is bitter cold, and it is not easy for our Han soldiers to adapt to it.
Aren't there exactly five chiefs who have surrendered now? It just so happened that they were made the marquis of my hairpin county, no matter how high the title was, it was limited to use in my hairpin county. In other words, even if he is crowned a king, in the territory of my Han Dynasty, it is no bigger than me, a third-class civil lord.
In this case, they think that they have sealed Hou Xinhua, and we know that Lu Dao is nothing more than to tease them. Prime Minister Zhou's worries just now are gone. What do you think of the boy's plan? ”
"Hahaha!"
"Wonderful!"
In an instant, the room resounded with laughter from various voices, some smirking and some treacherous. There is a laugh of schadenfreude. There is a hearty laugh.
Liu She stroked his beard and said, "Alas. If Zhou Xiang had walked away for a while, I am afraid he would not have been so angry.
Your Majesty, it looks like this court still has to absorb young people! The hairpin is a strategy. Lao Chen could never have imagined it. The old minister is willing to be Li Han's introducer, and he can introduce Li Han to the imperial court, so he can enter the Prime Minister's Mansion first and start from Bing Cao, and ask the emperor for permission. ”
Cheng Buzhi heard that Liu Shexian was a good person, where was he willing to lag behind, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the emperor, a young talent like the hairpin is placed in the people, which is a great waste to the country, and the minister is also willing to recommend him to enter the court as an official. ”
Tian Wei and the others are very clever, and they are willing to be promoted.
Liu Qi smiled and said, "I have asked him to serve in Shaofu temporarily, and then join the army Director Cao." As for the reward, after he returned, he had a dispute with the Marquis of Longxi, and the trouble was very unbearable, and I decided to deprive him of the first-class title as a punishment, and let him be his hairpin. ”
At this moment, who would think that the third-class civil lord who usually they don't care about at all can be equated with Li Han, a hairpin? This title later became a special case of the Han Dynasty, and only young and handsome people were honored to receive this title, and it has to be said that Li Han created another precedent.
Liu Che was not distracted by miscellaneous matters, he saw that everyone was silent, and hurriedly asked: "Cousin, hurry up, let those six chiefs do in your fiefdom?" ”
Li Han said: "Let them be stationed in the Xiongnu territory near the hairpin county, there are many poor people who have lost their homes on our border, and they can enter the hairpin county to live, some of which are land and forests, and the government pays them to build houses, distribute farm tools, and ensure their safety, and the imperial court sends elite guards to lead craftsmen to the territory to open factories." ”
"What factory?"
"The most native products of the Xiongnu are cow and sheepskin, ginseng, wool, etc., what is lacking is salt, tea, textiles, household iron pots, pottery urns and other things, we can run the hairpin county into a market of open and peaceful trade between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu and Xianbei, I believe that it will not be long before the various neighboring countries can be attracted to come and trade, and we can earn a large sum of money from taxes alone.
If you set up a armor factory, a wool textile factory, a ginseng processing factory, a beef jerky processing factory, a dairy product processing factory, and a tea brick processing factory, it would be too light to describe the two counties of hairpins with daily gold fighting. ”
After Li Han finished speaking, it was like a tornado in a pool of stagnant water again, no one in the Han Dynasty ministers had never jumped out of the Han region and looked at the world to look at the problem, and no one was able to impress them with pale language before, and now, with a clear map in front of him, what Li Han said was all practical and feasible, but within reach, who was not tempted.
Liu Che suddenly said: "By the way, cousin, didn't you say that you saved more than a hundred women?" Why didn't you see it brought back, where did you get it? ”
Li Han looked at Liu Che appreciatively and said: "The prince's heart is as careful as a hair, which is really my great luck." Those women, after I entered the customs, have been properly settled, let them learn the art of wool weaving, and when we go to set up a processing factory in the future, they are ready-made mature craftsmen. ”
Cheng Buzhi is the prime minister, of course, he has to think very thoroughly, he asked carefully: "Lord Hairpin, you are going to open so many factories in the second county of Hairpin Yuan, are you not afraid of a sudden attack by the Huns and the capture of our craftsmen and manufacturing skills?" What they lack most now is skill, isn't it equivalent to sending them craftsmen. ”
Li Han shook his head and said, "This is exactly what I want to say next, that is, our Han court underestimates the Huns too much.
This is the saber we captured from the Huns, and you all see if the iron quality and craftsmanship have exceeded the craftsmanship level of our Han Dynasty. ”
Everyone passed and checked Li Han's saber, and Li Han continued: "This time I went to the Xiongnu, I focused on investigating their mining skills, iron smelting techniques, building materials synthesis techniques and strong fortress construction techniques, and found that the Huns were very smart!"
They will use the natural air ducts formed in the valley to make their own blowers to increase the ignition point of the charcoal, temper the iron ore to remove impurities, and temper the fine iron billet over and over again, and the horse harnesses, weapons, and arrow clusters are definitely fine products that should not be underestimated.
In addition, they used limestone, clay and wheat flour to make a triple clay, and the stones were glued together to build a fortress, with a base, and the bottom was hollow, once it was necessary to move, you could use rolling logs, horses to pull the fortress, and take the whole fortress away, this technique has definitely been far ahead of us.
Therefore, we must not look at the Huns with old eyes, rest on our laurels, confide in our confidants and do not know the other, and once we face the enemy, we will suffer great losses. ”
There was silence in the hall, everyone was stunned by Li Han's news, in their eyes, Tartars will always be quasi-beasts with simple minds and well-developed limbs, these people are cruel and ignorant, and they snatched it back from the big Han when they lost anything, who would have thought that the savages would also master such a clever technique.
Li Han continued: "The reason why I proposed the establishment of the second county of hairpin and turned it into a pilot city integrating industry, commerce, free trade, agriculture, agriculture and animal husbandry is to buffer the demand for craftsmanship and daily necessities between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty.
The Huns were greedy and barbaric in nature, and they had to rob if they didn't have them, and now, let them exchange what they don't lack for what they lack, and they will put an end to the reason for them to rob.
The Xiongnu court has always been very troubled by their lack of resources, although grabbing a time can alleviate a period of time, but they do not produce, and eventually they will run out, and now their strength has been greatly reduced, and the price paid for grabbing a time is far greater than that of free trade.
Our opening of the two counties to free trade will inevitably win the hearts of the Xiongnu people, forgive those big and small leaders can see the benefits of this matter, will not be easily destroyed, as long as we properly arrange the supervisors, there will be no robbery and destruction. ”
Cheng Buzhi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he finally patted his thigh and said, "Sir, this method is feasible!" Not only is it proper, but it also thinks of all aspects, and the old man agrees. ”
Li Han said: "As long as the opening of the two counties is successful, after a long time, we will inevitably attract all the neighboring countries to trade, and we will be able to buy more fine iron billets and cattle and sheepskins, which will be processed into sharp weapons and thick leather armor through factories and transported back to equip our army."
At the same time, we vigorously promote the extensive cultivation of high-quality grains, encourage the people to have children, and exempt them from capitation taxes. ”
Liu Che suddenly said loudly: "Yes, as far as the eye can see, it is the land of my Han Dynasty, and those who dare to disobey the orders of my Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!" ”
With this sound, Shengsheng gave the nerves of the Manchu Dynasty's monarchs and ministers to the civil and military forces!
What a great ambition the prince is, this is a sign of Mingjun, at this time, if you don't shoot more time, suddenly the ministers are vying to praise the prince's ambitions, and he will inevitably be a great Han Mingjun in the future, and the strong master will win over the ancestors, creating a precedent.
This kind of teamwork and hard work only made Liu Che blush, and he glanced at Li Han with a weak heart, thinking that this was what his cousin said, he just said it involuntarily in this situation, and now the ministers have misunderstood, but they can't explain it in public, how embarrassing it is.
Li Han gave him a smile of understanding and support, and said loudly: "Yes, if the prince has this ambition, I am willing to do my best to help the prince fulfill his wish, share the worries of my emperor, and add glory to my great man." (To be continued......)
