After Liu Ying, the Son of Heaven, set the general policy of 'no war, no construction, and no construction within three years, and the beginning of the people', the attention of the Chang'an court quickly shifted from the end of the Korean War to the governance of this newly subdued land.

However, there are still big differences about the future of the Korean Peninsula.

Some people say: Such a new piece of land is a thousand miles of frozen land, and it is useless to take it, so it should be returned to the hands of the Korean Jun Jijun, as well as the Korean tribes such as Mahan and Zhenban, and define it as a foreign domain like Nanyue, Minyue, and Donghae.

Some people also say that this land was acquired by the Han family at a huge cost, and it must be turned into counties in order to expand its territory.

Some people also say that the geographical location, human customs and customs of the Korean region are complicated, and the Korean campaign cost the central part of Chang'an a huge amount. But if you give up, it is equivalent to fighting a battle of 'destroying Wei's Korea' in vain;

Therefore, these people believed that the Korean Peninsula could not be turned into a county or a foreign domain, but should be given to the royal family of the prince of the clan like the Kwantung vassal states, and that they should come to Xu Tu in the future.

Regarding these views, Liu Ying, the Son of Heaven, was noncommittal, that is, he did not accept it, nor did he reject it.

It was also at the point when the court was arguing about this matter, but it was never possible to reach a clear conclusion, that the Queen Mother Lu Pheasant, who lived in Changle Palace, finally sent a message to Weiyang Palace after many years.

- Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant, summoned Liu Ying, the Son of Heaven, to make a pilgrimage to Changle······

·

"Counties, clan princes, and foreign vassals with different surnames?"

After Liu Ying briefly explained her intentions, the worried look on the face of the Queen Mother Lu Pheasant only dissipated most of it visibly, and her face, which was still somewhat serious, became more and more relaxed.

Thoughtfully leaning back and lying down on the couch, Lu Pheasant's tone was already full of nature.

"Tell me about it."

"Where are the counties and counties, and who are the princes of the clans;"

"How to deal with foreign vassals with different surnames?"

Hearing her mother's question, Liu Ying didn't panic at all, stepped forward with a light smile, sat down next to her mother, and took a breath.

"I think that what the court officials say is not careless."

"The land of North Korea's new service, although not more north than Yan, is more east than Yan; And the north, east and south coasts, the damp and cold air is very heavy. ”

"Compared with Guanzhong, Bashu, or Qi, Chu, Liang and other Kwantung vassal states, North Korea is indeed not a cultivable land······"

With an indifferent expression, he first gave the premise conclusion that 'North Korea is not a good place', and Liu Ying's eyebrows couldn't help but quietly bring a touch of joy.

"However, although it is not as good as Guanzhong, Bashu, or south of the Great River in Kwantung, compared with the bitter cold of the upper and lower generations, North Korea is still 'arable' land after all."

"This 'arable land' of thousands of miles from east to west and thousands of miles from north to south costs a lot of money and grain, so it is the income of my Han family······"

"Do you think it's wrong to abandon it rashly?"

Hearing this, the last trace of worry in Lu Pheasant's heart also dissipated, and he only quietly closed his eyes, let out a leisurely 'um' sound, and motioned for Liu Ying to continue.

Seeing Liu Ying smiled again: "I think that if the land of North Korea's new clothes is turned into a foreign vassal with a different surname, it will be a battle of the past, and it will be used as a wedding dress, which is not a policy for the benefit of the country." ”

"However, if it is turned into a county, it will be inappropriate."

"——It is necessary to know that today, Yan, Zhao, Shang, Dai and other places north of the Great River in the Kanto region are still suffering from the shortage of Dingkou, and are unable to provide their own food and support their own people;"

"If you ignore the homeland of Yan Zhao and the previous generation, and oppose the first immigration and realize the land of the new Korean service, it is putting the cart before the horse, and it is not conducive to the consolidation of the north wall, the will of the people, the prestige of the court, and the society of the temple."

"And every county and county, there must be officials and officials to govern, and it is necessary to spend money and grain for the construction of cities and camps, and for the reclamation of acres of land;"

"This is in the treasury, and it is also a heavy burden······"

Listening to Liu Ying unhurriedly express her opinions, a satisfied smile was quietly hung on the corner of Lu Pheasant's mouth, although she knew that she was supporting her head with her hands and lying on the couch with her eyes closed, it did not prevent the Queen Mother from nodding from time to time, and made a 'hmm' and 'ran' approval sound again and again.

For North Korea, Lu Pheasant saw it very thoroughly: the land of new clothes, it is useless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.

As a new land acquired by the Han family at a huge cost, this land obviously cannot be given up just like this, or directly given to the local foreign feudal lords of North Korea with different surnames.

- Stories like this 'Farmer and the Snake' may appear in any era of China, but never in the Han Dynasty!

Gai is because compared with Li Tang's self-esteem of 'coming from all directions' and the arrogance of Song and Ming's 'Heavenly Empire', Liu Han is a regime that pays great attention to practical interests.

At least now, under the control of the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant and the Son of Heaven Liu Ying, Liu Han Sheji, Han is far from reaching the stage of 'the envoy of the foreign domain sent two pieces of tatters, and gave a priceless gift in return', in order to highlight Liu Han's identity as the "Heavenly Empire".

Therefore, as long as North Korea still has even the slightest use, the Han family will inevitably not give up.

- Whether it's useful or not, I'll grab it in my hand first, pull it into the bowl, and then talk!

As for whether to focus on construction or leave it alone after getting it, it's none of anyone's business; My land, whatever I love.

Therefore, 'abandoning the Korean Peninsula' and 'returning the Korean Peninsula to the local natives in order to become a vassal of Liu Han' were absolutely not considered by the Han Dynasty.

At the very least, it is absolutely impossible for the Weiman Joseon, that is, the Northern Peninsula, which once belonged to the Minzi Joseon, to be handed over to foreign vassals with different surnames;

If you go to the sky, that is, you will be allowed to continue to keep the fiefdom of the Southern Peninsula tribes such as Zhenban and Ma Han, and under the premise of 'please be a Han vassal vassal', they will honestly pinch the mud on the Southern Peninsula.

And this pinching of mud is not permanent;

When the Han family digests the Northern Peninsula, what about the remaining Southern Peninsula······

——As the beginning of China's feudal civilization, the Han family had at least nine ways to make the Korean Peninsula peacefully unified!

Nine kinds!

Since we cannot give up, it is natural to consider the issue of developing the Korean Peninsula after retaining it.

Like Baiyue in Lingnan, the Korean Peninsula east of Hunshui is also a 'land outside the country' in the absolute sense.

To put it bluntly, it is an extremely backward area that has not been civilized, has not been developed, and has not completely departed from slavery and tribalism.

If you want to make this new land generate centripetal force for Chinese civilization in a short period of time and contribute to Chinese civilization, the best way is undoubtedly the county system.

However, the county system means that the development cost of the entire Korean Peninsula will be borne by the Chang'an Central Committee;

Whether it is the construction of the city, the employment of officials, or land reclamation, wise civilization, or even social security and stability, the central government of Chang'an needs to be responsible.

To put it bluntly, it's about spending money.

Spend lots and lots of money.

Moreover, it is year after year, and it has been continuously spending dozens or hundreds of years of money to make such a 'foreign land' finally become a 'sacred and indivisible' territory in China since ancient times.

But it is obvious that today's Han family, first, does not have such ability and spare money, so that the land of North Korea will become a part of the 'Shenzhou Continent' in a short period of time;

On the other hand, even if the Han family had this ability, the strategic focus of the Han family would never be placed in such a corner.

——As a feudal regime, the Liu Han Dynasty still has a lot of historical missions that have not been completed.

The Xiongnu in the north, the Baiyue in the south, as well as the internal governance and development, all remind the Chang'an court: remember! You! No spare money!

And in a short period of time, at least twenty or thirty years, there is no spare money that can be invested on the Korean Peninsula!

In this way, the problem is much simpler.

- Abandoning North Korea, disadvantageous; Do not do it!

There is only one way: to seal the princes.

Compared with foreign vassals with different surnames such as Zhenfan and Ma Han, the control of Korea by the princes of the Liu clan can obviously make Korea have a higher centripetal force towards the Liu Han Dynasty in the future;

Compared with the county system, the ultra-high financial pressure brought to the central government of Chang'an, in Korea, can make the construction cost of the Korean Peninsula perfectly passed on to the recipient (hai), that is, the head of the clan princes.

- Although my Chang'an court has money, there are many places to spend money, and I don't have spare money to build in North Korea;

But I sealed North Korea to you, your own territory, can you still do it?

You just have to pass on this piece of land to future generations, can you not devote yourself to construction here?

And this is also the main reason why the feudal system appeared in the early county system and existed for hundreds of thousands of years in the history of China.

-- Compared with the county system, which has huge costs and slow results, the sub-feudal system can greatly improve the efficiency of construction and development, and at the same time, it can pass on all the costs to the recipients, that is, the 'feudal monarch' class.

The reason couldn't be simpler;

An official is sent by the court to a certain place to be a county magistrate or county guard, to govern the people of a county or a county, and to give the officials a salary;

In this process, the court is the employer, and this official is the employed.

To be more specific, it is the 'beating worker' of later generations.

Under such circumstances, officials who take money to do things obviously do not have the motivation to 'do construction at all costs', but will have the mentality of 'preferring to do nothing than make mistakes', or ring the bell for a day and become a monk for a day.

- Anyway, as long as nothing happens, I will take my salary as it is, so why make myself so tired and thankless?

On the contrary, as a group of 'feudal lords' under the feudal system, the relationship between the 'feudal lords' and the central court is not that of the employee and the employed, but of the relationship between the giver and the 'recipient'.

In other words, the feudal group can be compared to the shareholders of the company.

It is inevitable that workers will get dead wages and go to work to fish;

But as a shareholder, will you not work well?

Can you not hope that the company is good?

It's your own company!!

It is precisely with this wisdom that the Chinese civilization was able to develop the tribal civilization that was originally only 100 miles into a devastated Chinese civilization in that backward and barren era.

- As the boss, I have no money, and I can't give you officials, or even provide you with any support at all;

- But if you have a piece of land yourself, then I will endorse you: you are the king there!

This is the superiority of the sub-sealing system: the white wolf with empty gloves, the ancestor of painting cakes; Even if the meat is going to rot, it has to rot in my pot.

The progress from the feudal system to the county system is that with the development of the times, the central government has gradually gained control over the localities, and there is no longer a need to rely on this empty hand white wolf to make more land 'rotten in its own pot';

The central government no longer emphasized that 'the meat should rot in our own pots', and began to pull it into its own bowls, and the feudal monarchs who had been crowned kings and built territories with a hoe and a hoe were naturally unwilling;

So, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period; Therefore, Qin fell to the Six Kingdoms; Therefore, Qin II died.

The turn of the Qin and Han dynasties happened to be at a delicate point in time when 'the central government gradually had the ability to control the locality', but it did not fully possess the ability to control the whole world.

Fifty years ago, it was more appropriate to divide the seal; In the next fifty years, the county will be more reliable;

What now?

Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang gave the answer: divide the feud and the counties in parallel.

What I can control, my county system will be eaten in my stomach, and what I can't control, I will seal it for you and let the meat enter our pot;

After waiting, when I am stronger, I will pull a little bit from the pot, little by little, and when all the meat in the pot is pulled into my stomach, the sub-sealing system will naturally be gone, and the world will be all counties.

This kind of political wisdom can obviously make those Qin Blowers in later generations who say 'my political brother is invincible in the world' and 'Liu Bang is an old hooligan' quiet for a while.

——Just on the point of 'abolishing the division of feuds and running counties and counties', the political wisdom of Liu Bang, Taizu of the Han Dynasty, is far beyond the porcelain that the first emperor and the government can touch;

In other words, Ying Zheng does have enough determination, but Liu Bang has more political wisdom.

At present, although the Han family already has the ability to control most of the Kanto region, it is still a long way from the all-round county system.

In this case, there is suddenly such a piece of 'new service' in North Korea, so it is obviously the wisest choice to divide this land first and pull the meat chop into this pot called 'Huaxia' as soon as possible at the minimum cost.

Previously, Lu Pheasant had guessed: Emperor Liu Ying would be naïve in North Korea?

Or is it the old spicy line seal?

Or is it simply hopelessly stupid and completely abandon the Korean Peninsula?

But after Liu Ying put forward the suggestion of 'counties, subdivisions, and parallel foreign vassals with different surnames', Lu Pheasant's heart no longer had the slightest worry······

Right now, Lu Pheasant is desperate to hear some unexpected and reasonable solutions from Liu Ying's mouth.

For example······

The queen mother asked, but the son did not dare to say nothing.

"I think: Zhenban, Ma Han and other foreign vassals have taken root in Korea for many years, and if they are blatantly destroyed, there will be no name for righteousness, and second, there will be incidents, and in the future, it will be unfavorable to govern Korea;"

"Therefore, I think that when they are allowed to keep their own land, they should each be a vassal of the Han Dynasty, and then delay it."

Whispering, Liu Ying's report on 'how to digest the Korean Peninsula' quietly kicked off.

And between Liu Ying's eyebrows, there was not even the slightest doubt or apprehension.

Yes, it's just endless self-confidence and self-determination to give up who else······
