Chapter 997: Ten Years of Dominating the World
Wu Fan's appetite is not small. 30,000 horses and their families, that is a population of more than 100,000. How does this work?
Qingji shook his head and said, "No bargaining." I give you 20,000 horses and their family scrolls, how much territory can be opened up, that is your ability, I will not ask. ”
"No!" Wu Fan only then agreed to get the ducks on the shelves. This ancient Qiang land is modern Tibet, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the environment is still very harsh.
No wonder Wu Fan was reluctant to go there to establish a feudal state. After all, it was not until the beginning of the seventh century that a Tibetan dynasty arose in that place.
"Wu Xi."
"Erchen is here!"
"I will give you 50,000 li to cross to the east of the Wa Island, and in the future, the Wa Land and its affiliated islands will be your land. I named you the king of Fusang, established the country of Fusang, and how many Japanese people can be naturalized, it is your ability. ”
"No!" Wu Xi immediately agreed. Immediately afterwards, Qingji divided the modern Hainan Island and its affiliated islands into Qiongguo and canonized Wu Bangwei
"King Qiong", the country of Qiong. The modern Wanwan Island and its affiliated islands were divided into continents and canonized by Wu Fawei
"King of the Continent", Lizhou Kingdom. On the other side of the Australian continent, set up one
"Australia", Qingji canonized Wu Wei as the king of Australia. However, at this time, Wu Wei was still leading the fleet to cross the ocean to explore the American continent and had not yet returned.
Maybe Qingji may wave his hand and set up a few vassal kings on the American continent to make them feudal states...... Southeast Asian islands, such as Java and Borneo, have also been established in many countries.
There is also the South Asian subcontinent, Qingji waved his hand and let his sons lead the troops to open up, and by the way, he brought the family scroll with him to spread the advanced technology and culture of Wu there.
As for how much time and manpower will be spent during this period, it is not up to Qingji to care. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.
Road, Qingji has paved the way for them, how much achievement they can have, it all depends on how big their ability is.
In this breath, Qingji sealed twenty vassal kings, and in overseas and extraterritorial places, twenty feudal states were established!
According to the standard of 50,000 native people brought by each kingdom, this group of Wu people who went overseas and outside the territory to forge ahead exceeded one million.
As for the north of Dawu, Mobei, Qingji did not divide the princes to establish a country there. Because the nomads in the north, the power of Donghu, Xiongnu, and Yueshi is not weak, and it is not something that only one or two thousand horses can stand on their feet and conquer at will.
At least once Qingji reveals his ambition and practical actions to enter Mobei, how can the nomads in Mobei give up?
For the pros and cons of the sub-sealing system, Qing Ji is clear. His generation, to the generation of sons and grandchildren, can continue to implement the feudal system, so as to assimilate the surrounding alien races and promote great integration.
However, it is necessary for Qingji to explain the matter of the "Tui En Order" of the later emperors. Decades later, or even hundreds of years later, the various vassal kingdoms that had a great sense of identity with China could also be quickly integrated by the Great Wu.
And this is the fundamental purpose of Qingji. At this time, it is not reliable to directly establish the rule of the empire overseas and outside the territory.
…… Since the Great Wu dominated the world and Qingji became the emperor, he began to focus on restoring people's livelihood, developing production, and constantly encouraging the population to have children.
Ten years to rule the world. This is the national policy set by Qingji for Dawu. Qingji is also what he says, for a full ten years, there are few wars in Dawu, and the peace has been maintained for a long time, and the country has been under great rule, and there is a peaceful and prosperous scene.
How did the Qin Dynasty die in history? It is inseparable from the tyranny of Qin Shi Huang.
Strict punishment and strict law, reckless military force can make Great Qin dominate the world, but it may not allow Great Qin to govern the world and make people's hearts follow.
In view of this, Qingji continues to implement the policy of light and meager endowment, hiding wealth from the people, benefiting the people's livelihood, and making all the people in the world recognize themselves
The identity of the "Wu people" no longer has the heart of rebellion. As a result, in the past ten years, Dawu's national strength has increased significantly, and the population has also shown a blowout growth.
Especially in the 35th year of Wu Shi Huang, the fleet that crossed the ocean and returned from the American continent brought corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other local products back to the Wu homeland, and planted them extensively, the grain production of the people increased greatly, basically making the family rich and satisfied, and there was no shortage of food and drink...... At least, no one will starve to death!
No matter how poor a family is, no matter how remote a place is, no one will starve to death. Fueled by the continuous increase in productivity, coupled with Wu's policy of encouraging fertility, Wu's population increased by millions in a decade.
By the forty-third year of Wu Shi Huang and ten years after Qingji became emperor, the population of Great Wu exceeded the 40 million mark, not including the total population of the 20 vassal states such as Ning, Sai, Zhou, and Qiong, as well as the capital of the Western Regions.
In terms of internal affairs, in order to improve the administrative efficiency of the imperial court, Qingji reformed the official system and implemented the system of three provinces and six ministries on the basis of the system of three princes and nine secretaries.
The Zhongshu Province is the agency in charge of confidential information and the issuance of government decrees. Under the door of the province, the position is to serve the emperor around, praise and guide the people, and the adviser to deal with it, and when the emperor goes out, the attendants will participate.
Shangshu Province is the highest government decree body and is one of the highest authorities of the imperial court. Shangshu Province has six departments, including the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry, and has 24 divisions under its jurisdiction, including the Ministry of Officials and the Lord.
The six books are all located
The name of the "ministry" is the place, and the Lang official is located
The name "Division" is responsible for the execution of the edict. The courtiers of the three provinces and six ministries performed their duties and maintained the normal operation of the vast Wu Empire.
Locally, there are still 45 counties, and the county system is basically unchanged. On the military front, in order to consolidate and strengthen the centralization of power, Qingji established a unified army throughout the country and placed it under the strict control of the emperor.
The minister in charge of the military administration of the whole country is the Grand Sima. In wartime, generals were temporarily appointed to command the army, and the highest status was the general, followed by the hussar general, the chariot general, the guard general, and the front, rear, left, and right generals.
The shogunate was often placed in the shogunate when he went out on expeditions, and it was used as a staff body. In the county, the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant are separated, and the county guard and the county commander are in charge of the military.
The army can be divided into three parts: Beijing division soldiers, local soldiers, and border soldiers. In terms of economy, Dawu actively traded with Western countries, and the land Silk Road and the maritime Silk Road, with endless exchanges of carriages, horses, boats and ships, made Dawu earn a lot of money by relying on refined salt, silk, tea, porcelain and other commodities.
Earn a lot of money every day! Just collecting the checkpoint tax from the merchants made the treasury of Wu a mountain of money.
For ten years, the copper coins in the treasury and the strings used to wear the money were rotten, and they were not used. The corn, rice, and other grains in the warehouse were almost moldy and had not yet been eaten.
In view of this, Qingji also issued orders from time to time to sell corn, rice, and other grains to neighboring countries at low prices.
In terms of people's livelihood, thanks to the strong national strength of Wu, Qingji still decided to dig the Grand Canal. It took eight years and 1.2 million Kunlun slaves at every turn, and the state of Wu finally made the Grand Canal successfully navigable.
The North-South Grand Canal, which extends to the Qiantang River in the south, Xianyang in the west, and Jicheng in the north, with a length of nearly 2,000 kilometers, has been navigable.
Transporting troops and food, commercial, military and civilian. Relying on this Grand Canal, Wu was able to collect a lot of taxes from merchants.
The opening of the Grand Canal also allowed the imperial court to strengthen its control over various places. It is worth mentioning that the canal in Guanzhong (the historical Zhengguo Canal) has also been fully completed, so that the water filled with silt, both more than 40,000 hectares of land (equivalent to 1.1 million acres in modern times), and the harvest is one minute per mu (equivalent to 100 kilograms), so Guanzhong is fertile and has no murderous years...... The Grand Canal of Wuguo, as well as various straight roads, gallop roads, plank roads, etc., are connected together, constituting a very developed traffic and unimpeded.
This not only greatly strengthened the rule of Qingji, but also facilitated people's livelihood and made commerce flourish. In terms of education, Wu is still a hundred schools of thought, academic prosperity, thanks to Wu Guo's opening of the people's wisdom, the establishment of official schools in various places is also constantly cultivating talents, with a strong atmosphere of loyalty and patriotism.
Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faithfulness are also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Wu Guo has now truly learned and taught, and the old have been supported.
A hundred flowers bloom in various fields, making Dawu a real kingdom of the Celestial Empire. Qingji also fulfilled his promise, ten years of great governance, recuperation, so that Wu Guocheng has been peaceful for a long time, and the country and the people are safe.
However, Qingji is still dissatisfied with the status quo. His ambition is still to forge ahead and make himself one
The "Great Emperor" made Wu an unprecedented super empire with a territory spanning three continents: Asia, Africa and Europe. Now, with such a strong national strength as the support, Qingji believes that the time is ripe to expand the territory.
But the celebration is jealous...... Old!
