Chapter 692: Is the Sect Leader Country's Destiny?
Well, fortunately, he is my elder brother, and with me, the emperor's elder brother, Wuyi is not bad for money no matter how much he engages in art, otherwise, maybe his fate will have to be the same as Van Gogh's in the future. Fortunately, I have a brother like me to guide him and remind him.
In addition, there is a beautiful and gentle woman who fills this guy with a source of creativity, and this guy told me that when he feels that his painting skills have reached a high enough level, he must paint countless portraits of his fiancΓ©e, so that even if he is old, he can still see himself and his wife young.
Such romantic thoughts and ideas made my two mothers-in-law almost crazy, and in desperation, my son could only follow the destiny of heaven while guiding the old five Wuyi, while lifting the brush again and re-learning.
In the future, I might as well draw my mother-in-law with my own hands, otherwise, I don't know if these two jealous mothers-in-law will keep talking about this from young to old.
This is the tragedy of life, teaching others, so that I, as a master, also have to re-learn, but this is good, one more craft is also a good world, think about it, the history books of later generations will be added to the account of Emperor Taizu of the Chinese Empire: the founder of realistic painting, the great master of art.
In fact, the world is made up of two kinds of people, one is one's own people, and the other is the enemy. And in my mind, the enemies are those alien races. Alien races located around the Huaxia Empire.
Whether it is the powerful Eastern Turks, or the Tibetan Tibet, which has not yet unified the plateau, or Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje, who live in a corner and play the Romance of the Three Kingdoms all day long. These are all enemies of China.
Of course, there are many ways to deal with the enemy, some of which can be inflicted with benevolence, while others can be inflicted with swords.
For example, the Dianban in the Dianchi area today has resisted many times when our Chinese Revival Army reoccupied Dianchi Lake, but each time only more people will fall under the sword of our Chinese Revival Army.
After seeing the combat power that they could not match, these Yunnan barbarians finally knew that they had relented and sent envoys to Chang'an to pay tribute.
ββ¦β¦ There are thirteen tribes, the most powerful of which are six tribes, most of whom live in the areas around Dianchi Lake and Erhai Lake. I came to pay tribute this time, thinking that I hoped that our Huaxia Revival Army would not attack their tribes. Du Ruhui was still muttering to the information that came back as always.
"I hope my Chinese Revival Army will not attack? They want good things. Han Shige pursed his lips and said disapprecantly.
"If you want us not to attack, it's okay, but you have to agree to a few conditions." I stroked my brow, thought for a moment, and said. "First, we must not disturb the repair of roads in our Chinese Empire; secondly, not to offend the city fortress bazaars set up by our Huaxia on both sides of the roads in southern Yunnan; Third, we must not hinder our Chinese traders from recruiting local manpower......"
ββ¦β¦ If they are able to agree to these conditions, then I will canonize them to hereditary positions according to their strength. β
Hearing my words, Fang Xuanling's eyes narrowed and he smiled sheepishly, while Wei Yunqi shook his head there, but his expression also revealed a bit of a playful smile. "Your Majesty's words are very good, if this policy is successful, at most ten years, the land of southern Yunnan will no longer have the power to resist."
Li Xuanba and Luo Shixin, the two brothers and sisters, looked ignorant, and when they saw others laughing, they didn't understand what they meant.
Very simply, once the road traffic is repaired, the difficult land of southern Yunnan in the past will become smooth and helpless, which can increase the communication between those people in southern Yunnan, and similarly, it will also facilitate the merchants of our Chinese Empire to enter these areas, and more importantly, for our Chinese Rejuvenation Army, it will be equivalent to becoming a smooth road.
After the fortifications were repaired in these places, the peasants who worked here also had a fixed place to live, and likewise, they were able to obtain the protection of the garrison, and in addition, the Han people were able to ease bilateral relations and thus play a role in assimilation.
As for the third article, the recruitment of local people is also to bring these Dian people from the mountains as soon as possible, so that they can adapt to a better life, and give up the way of living like savages, and in the long run, they will gradually identify themselves as subjects of the Chinese Empire.
As for the leaders of the leaders, they will be corrupted by the luxuries brought by the merchants of the Chinese Empire, and slowly, they will lose their ruthlessness and playfulness as barbarians.
Moreover, that place in Yunnan is the most suitable for growing tea, and until now, I still remember the sweet aftertaste of Tuocha in Yunnan. In addition, Yunnan has no shortage of minerals. There is a more important reason that south of Yunnan, that is Myanmar, where countless beautiful gems are waiting for Ben Gongzi.
Thinking of this, I can't help but be proud of my advanced wisdom. A smooth and convenient road is the best way to connect a country's borders.
As I expected, the dozen or so leaders of the Dian people who came to Chang'an to pay tribute expressed their determination to obey unconditionally to the conditions put forward by Ben Gongzi. Well, if you don't want to obey, then I don't mind destroying one or two more tribes, so that others can see clearly the determination and will of this son.
And the prosperity and prosperity of Chang'an made these local veterans from remote areas dumbfounded, and in the end, Ben Gongzi, as the emperor of the Chinese Empire, gave back to these leaders. Well, most of the items from the other party's tribute are those so-called rural specialties.
According to the past practice, as the suzerain's state, at least about 3,000 pieces of silk, utensils, and goods should be given to each leader.
I strongly oppose this. But the ministers were chattering there one by one. Even an old man like Wei Zheng told me that he had to show mercy and take more money, so that he could show the demeanor of a great country.
"Your Majesty, such a reward is not only available in the present dynasty, it has been there since ancient times, before the previous dynasty, the Gaochang Dynasty contributed, and the emperor of the previous dynasty gave silk, jade and other things worth more than 10,000 guan. Now, the three thousand we have given is not much. It was Ma Zhou who said this.
"My Huaxia is to inherit the unification of the world, and I will be the suzerain of the world, and as the suzerain, I should let the world know that I am Huaxia's mind......" This is what Du Ruhui said.
Looking at this crooked minister, Ben Gongzi didn't know how many rolls his eyes, and in the end, these ministers who had been chattering crookedly for half an hour finally stopped.
I thought about it for a while, and decided to put a good swing with these guys with rigid brains. I took a sip of the tea on the table, glanced at the ministers, and said slowly. "I want to ask you, if you have a thousand guan in your house, and there is a person who brings a piece of silk worth ten guan and wants to sell it to you, will you give him ten guan? Or will he be given a hundred times? β
ββ¦β¦ Your Majesty, what the ministers are talking about is the major affairs of the country, not the art of businessmen. Wei Zheng coughed very dissatisfied, stood up and spoke.
"I know this very well, what I said is not only about businessmen, about the survival of the people, but also about the future of my Chinese Empire." I waved my hand and smiled kindly and gently at the old man, but my tone was still insistent.
"Naturally, it is paid ten times." Du Ruhui stood up and replied. "Since the other party only needs ten guan, if the minister takes a hundred, won't he be regarded as a fool?"
"Well, Du Qing said it well, since the other party gave you the goods, and you are definitely only willing to pay the same value of money." I nodded in satisfaction. "Since my Huaxia Empire will become the sect of the world, then in the future, how many Fan countries will there be in my Huaxia?"
Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said: "Back to Your Majesty, when the previous dynasty was at its peak, there were more than 100 countries in the dynasty, and the ministers really can't remember how many countries there are." β
"Well, over a hundred, then of course my Huaxia will be stronger than the previous dynasty, you say, will there be more Huaxia in the future?" I asked everyone present. Everyone nodded.
"Then, the other party pays a tribute to my Huaxia for one hundred guan of property, and my Huaxia wants to give back ten times the amount of money, do you think this can represent the style of my Huaxia suzerain?" I tapped my fingers lightly on the table, and continued to observe these guys, well, the performance gradually became a little difficult to look at from the dissatisfaction of the people
"Generally speaking, the tribute of a country, how can it be hundreds of guan, remember that in the past, Tuyuhun paid more than 10,000 guan, and the property given by the court at that time seemed to be less than ten times the standard, it seems that the previous dynasty lacked the demeanor of the suzerain's country, right?" Ben Gongzi looked at these guys' increasingly ugly faces with amusement, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
"If there are 100 countries in Tibet, and each country pays more than 50,000 yuan in tribute to my Huaxia country, then do we have to give more than 500,000 yuan in wealth to show the demeanor of my Huaxia suzerain? I calculate, a country of 500,000, a hundred, well, isn't it going to give 50 million? Obedient...... Are you really sure you want me to be so generous? "After counting with his fingers, even I was startled.
And all the ministers of civil and military affairs, one by two, all had dilated pupils, and their expressions were as dull as a rooster that had won the immobilization method.
"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, have you ever heard what I just said?" Seeing that they were still there in a daze, I couldn't help but be dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Who would have nothing to pay a tribute of 500,000 yuan to the court? Fang Xuanling wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and grinned.
"If the minister is the minister of the Fan State, he will definitely and every year contribute all the money of the Fan State in exchange for ten times the profit." At this time, a voice made everyone's hearts skip a beat, and their eyes looked at it in unison, and it happened to fall on the samurai.
