Speaking well, the two ancestors and grandsons were already walking out of the side hall door of the Changxin Hall with slow steps.

Walking on the bare palace road where there was no green plant in the surrounding area, Liu Sheng carefully supported his grandmother Empress Dowager Dou in his hand, and still did not forget to ask something more.

"In this way, my Han family is not completely expecting Lu Juan's lineage, but just betting on 'what if'?"

"Bet on what useful news can come from Donghu in case of emergency?"

···

"If it's just like this, then why put up such a battle, it's the Marquis of Chang'an, and it's the tax that has accumulated over the years?"

"Such a bargaining chip was smashed, but only one of them was exchanged for one of Lu Ta's 'maybe, if necessary, send back a news that is difficult to distinguish between true and false'······"

"It's not worth it, is it?"

His face was still respectful, but his tone was full of doubts, and Liu Sheng couldn't help frowning again.

In Lu Juan's vein, how much 'special funds' has the Han family invested since Emperor Taizu Gao?

The answer is: Aside from the Taizu Dynasty, Lu Juan himself was awarded the title of prince and the reward he received;

The Marquis of Chang'an alone has accumulated tens of thousands of gold for the Lu family, which is now far away in the Xiongnu steppe and has been passed down to the third generation!

——As the undisputed 'most special' among the founding fathers of the Han Dynasty, Lu Juan's Chang'an Marquis mainly has the following points that are different from other Chehou feudal states.

First: Lu Juan's 'Marquis of Chang'an' is the only marquis who has taken the feudal capital as a feudal food in the history of China for more than 2,000 years.

Since this is the case, it is obviously impossible for Lu Juan, the Marquis of Chang'an, to exercise too effective control over his own Marquis of Che like other marquises.

——A Che Marquis, who controls the capital of a dynasty with 'fiefdom and food', then he still has it?

So in fact, Lu Juan, the Marquis of Chang'an, is not like other Che Marquis, who can exert influence on his own fiefdom, or even almost completely control it.

Lu Juan, the Marquis of Chang'an, is actually more of an honorary title;

Say it: A certain parent, Anhou, when he hears it, he is awesome and boom!

But in fact, Lu Juan, the Marquis of Chang'an, could not exert any influence on his feudal food, Chang'an City.

To put it more bluntly: the title of Marquis of Chang'an can only bring Lu Juan a theoretical 'ten thousand households' food estate.

Why theoretically?

Because Lu Juan, the 10,000 households, does not have a realistic, exact and specific 10,000 peasants, who pay rent and taxes to support Lu Juan;

Instead, after the autumn harvest every year, Shaofu directly transported the money and grain equivalent to the agricultural tax that 10,000 peasants should pay in that year to the Chang'an Hou Mansion according to the average yield per mu in Guanzhong that year.

After Lu Juan sentenced Han to Hu, this tax was converted into gold by Shaofu very cleverly.

It's a very simple math problem;

——In the past few decades, the average yield per mu in Guanzhong has fluctuated around three stones;

According to the average output of 300 stone of rice and grain per household, as well as the average tax amount of 1 out of 30 and 10 stone of agricultural tax paid by each household, theoretically, the Marquis of Chang'an, who has 10,000 acres of food and 10,000 households, is 100,000 stone of grain and rice a year because of the rent tax.

The rest of everything is much better.

According to the price of grain that year, how much is 100,000 stone of grain worth?

Since the death of Emperor Taizu Gao in the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, except for a few natural and man-made disasters in the past few years, which have caused grain prices to rise unreasonably, the grain prices in Guanzhong in the past few decades have basically been about 100 yuan per stone.

Chang'an Hou eats 10,000 households, 100,000 stone of grain and rice for annual rent, 100,000 yuan for 100,000 yuan of grain for one stone, which is 10 million yuan.

According to the default gold-copper money exchange ratio in the market, this 10 million yuan can be directly converted into 1,000 gold by Shaofu's big pen.

A thousand gold, it may not sound like much;

Let's just say that now, Liu Sheng is having a headache about horse politics, just three or five stallions, you can spend this thousand gold cleanly, and it is even likely to be priceless - waving the gold cake, you can't buy the good horse you want.

But as the saying goes: a thin stream of water grows up, and a small amount accumulates a lot.

From the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty (195 BC), when Emperor Taizu Gao died, to the fifth year of the current Son of Heaven (152 BC), more than 40 years have passed.

In the past forty years, after the autumn harvest almost every year, there will be a thousand gold cakes that cannot be shaken, which will be stored in the cellar of the Marquis of Chang'an by the Shaofu.

And this lasted for more than 40 years, at the rate of 1,000 gold per year, the more than 40,000 gold accumulated in the cellar of the Chang'an Hou Mansion was the real investment of the Han family in the Lu family.

Compared with the more than 40,000 gold, what 'daily sprinkling and sweeping, keeping the Chang'an Hou Mansion spotless'~

What utensils and things are intact, just like back then, when Lu Juan was not crowned the king of Yan, it was only when the Marquis of Chang'an~

Even the outcasts who absconded from the grassland and returned to the Central Plains were all properly resettled by the Han family, mainly the Empress Dowager Lu, etc., which is not worth talking about.

And the investment of more than 40,000 gold was only exchanged for Lu Juan's descendants, who had an ambiguous attitude towards the Han family's 'remind you when you're in a good mood, why don't you love when you're in a bad mood'······

"It's not worth it~"

"Of course it's not worth it."

"-Don't say that he is a 'smart man' with long sleeves and good dancing, snakes and rats;"

"It's really iron-hearted to be a winged for the Han Dynasty, and a mere king of Donghulu is far from worth the effort of my Han family."

"It's just that there are some things hidden under the performance."

"Xiao Jiu is interested, listen to my blind old woman?"

Empress Dowager Dou said with a smile, which caused Liu Sheng to nod hurriedly.

saw that the Empress Dowager Dou smiled slightly, but she was not in a hurry to speak, but first knelt down in a pavilion with Liu Sheng's support;

After Liu Sheng also knelt beside him with curiosity, Empress Dowager Dou continued to talk about the embarrassing situation between the two great powers of Han and Hungary, the Lu family, in her own cognition.

"The Huns are different from my Han family."

"The people of my Han family are all Chinese nobles;"

"Anything that can be passed on to the present day has not severed the bloodline of the ancestral hall, tracing back to ten or eight generations, it is all after the princes and nobles hundreds of years ago."

"-This is not to say that my Chinese nobles were born noble, and the Xiongnu Northern Barbarians were born despicable;"

"It's that after thousands of years, the people of China have long had the heart of tolerance for foreign races, as well as the heart of civilization and education."

"On the other hand, the Huns were originally just a mediocre small tribe in the grassland, but they were able to dominate the grassland with the help of the ordnance baggage left by the defenders of the Great Wall in northern Qin."

"If you trace the bloodline of the Huns, let alone ten or eight generations;"

"If you go back to three or five generations, you must be a slave who once belonged to the Donghu people."

"—including the Xiongnu Shan Yu, who was in charge of the Xiongnu and even the nomadic people of the steppe, was no exception······"

···

"What does that mean?"

"It means that my Han family is tolerant of all rivers, whether it is the Huns in the north, the Yueshi people, or the Yelang people in the southwest, the people of the country, or the name of Lingnan Baiyue, as long as there is real talent and learning, my Han family will definitely be meritococent."

"But the Huns are different."

"The Xiongnu are originally barbarians and untransformed people, and they have no inheritance or heritage at all."

"For foreigners, the Huns will only enslave except killing."

"Under such a premise, the Lu clan who sentenced Han to Hu and devoted themselves to the Xiongnu Shan Yuting is actually not very good in the situation of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting."

"If he Lu is in the grassland and really gets the courtesy of the Huns Shan Yu, then when the Empress Dowager Lu is in the past, Lu Juan's wife and children will not have to trek through mountains and rivers, and they will have to return to Chang'an······"

With Empress Dowager Dou's gentle, gentle, and faintly embarrassed voice, Liu Sheng's eyebrows also quietly swelled with a touch of thought.

At this moment, there is such a picture slowly unfolding in Liu Sheng's mind;

——In the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty Taizu died, and Lu Xuan, the king of Yan, who knew that he could no longer be forgiven, had to leave the foot of the Great Wall in disheart and step north into the Xiongnu grassland.

For Lu Juan's contribution, the Xiongnu was very happy with Yu Yu Maodun, but he didn't cherish Lu Juan's 'talent' very much, but just felt that this matter had more face.

Hey!

And voila!

Han Tianzi wore a pair of pants and brothers, but they all ran to my Hun Shan Yu Wang tent, groveling and bowing down hey!

Having earned face, of course, the Storm will also show the hospitality of the steppe people—at least briefly, in order to complete the political intent of 'Log Lixin'.

——The high-ranking officials of the Han people, all look at how chic Lu Juan is when he arrives with us!

- If you don't have a problem with your brain, just slip over it!

- This is a single Yu, I can't treat you badly!

It's just that this state of affairs only lasted for a short, very short time.

Because I don't know: in Chinese culture, there is an extremely important core part, called 'Huayi Defense'.

Regarding the treatment that Lu Juan enjoyed in the Xiongnu Shan Yuting (temporarily), a very small number of depressed officials of the Han family did have some wavering in their hearts;

But the word ancestor is greater than the sky, and the defense of Huayi is greater than the sky;

So even if these people were tempted, they still didn't make the decision to go against their ancestors.

Seeing his daughter's bones, none of the officials and princes of the Han family followed Lu Juan's example, and he expressed his unhappiness.

Look at Lu Juan again, if you have no ability, you have no ability, you have no ability, the grassland is already poor, and this guy is still full of fish and meat all day long, and he is extremely extravagant······

I endured it for a while.

In order to abide by the promise made to Lu Juan, and in order to create an image of 'keeping his word', he endured until Lu Juan's death.

Almost at the moment of Lu Xuan's death, the entire Donghu Department immediately became a thorn in the eye and flesh of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting;

Just when the entire Xiongnu were colluding with the court and preparing to get rid of the 'cancer' of the Donghu tribe, Mrs. Lu, who had a premonition of imminent danger, took Lu Juan's heirs and returned to the south of the Great Wall with difficulty.

And that's from then on······

"Nowadays, among the records that can be found, the earliest Shan Yu of the Xiongnu is called Tou Man."

"During the Toumandanyu period, the Xiongnu Department was only a small and weak tribe in the grassland."

"Later, the proton who returned from the Donghu royal court killed his father and became the second Shan Yu of the Huns."

"That is, in the hands of Mao Dun, the once weak Huns have become the masters of the grassland step by step."

"It's just that the battle of Pingcheng back then made every Hun think that every Hun was likely to have a thought."

"—Disgusted with Han Chinese."

"From the bottom of my bones, I hate every Han person who is not worthy of my admiration."

"And in this world, the Han people who are worthy of admiration may be the only one who is Emperor Taizu Gao······"

···

"After the Xiongnu established the status of 'steppe overlord', the Huns began to implement the double-headed eagle policy."

"——King Zuo Xian, King Zuo Gu Li, Zuo Da Danghu, and Zuo Da General are in a camp, mainly responsible for attacking and exterminating the Yue clan people to the west;"

"And the Right Xian King, the Right Gu Li King, the Right Great Household, and the Right Great General are in one camp, and they are responsible for going south and knocking on the border, raising troops to commit crimes."

"During the reign of the first emperor, Mao Dun died, and his son, Zuoxian Wang Lao Shangji Congee, inherited the throne of Shan Yu."

"Different from the dislike of the Han people, Lao Shangji porridge is very interested in everything about the Han people."

"With the help of a group of traitors and thieves such as Bank of China, Lao Shangji Congee single-handedly promoted the comprehensive sinicization of the Xiongnu."

"The purpose is to learn from the advanced system of my Han family and strengthen ourselves."

"-The old man is the male lord;"

"—a male lord who is wiser than the Male Lord."

"This is not my evaluation, but the words of the first emperor who personally said it to the left and right······"

···

"Lao Shangdan is in power, the Xiongnu tribes tend to Han, and the status of the Donghu king, the Han king and other departments is naturally rising;"

"Even the Bank of China said that the eunuch slave was treated as a national soldier by the old Shangji."

"But it was precisely after the old Shangshan Yu that the Xiongnu started a war on the east and west fronts, and the double-headed eagle policy implemented by Mao Dun Shan Yu began to show its drawbacks."

"——According to the rules of the Huns, the first heir to the throne is King Zuoxian, who led the various departments of the northern part of the Makubei to attack the Yueshi people;"

"And the Right Hyun King, who led the Makunan clan south to attack the Han, is the second heir to the throne."

"This has led to an extremely bad consequence."

"—Lao Shang was born after his death, and was succeeded by the military ministers of Zuoxian Wang;

"After succeeding to the throne, in order to eliminate the threat of King Youxian to the throne of Shan Yu, the military ministers of the Emperor blatantly launched a mutiny, directly washed the Ministry of King Youxian, and eradicated all the forces of King Youxian."

"Without the Right Xian King, the dragons of the various departments in the south of the Makunan have no leader, and they invade our Han family in the south, and they are always scattered, and they can't retreat with the attack at all."

"As for the military ministers of Shan Yu, they simply denied everything about King Youxian, including the merits of going south to attack the Han border, and even the correctness of attacking my Han family."

···

"In this way, after the military ministers eliminated dissidents, the Han family is no longer the number one enemy of the Huns."

"In addition, in the past few decades, my Han family has always been a peaceful policy, which also makes the Xiongnu Shan Yuting more and more think: Instead of fighting with my Han family, it is better to borrow the name of peace and relatives every once in a while, and defraud a lot of goods without spending a single soldier."

"It's just that in this way, Lu Tazhi's identity as a 'Han people' and 'expert researcher of Han family issues' is less and less valued by the Huns."

"After all, in the eyes of the Huns and the military ministers, even my Han family is already a weak 'small' country that does not need to be attacked, but only needs to send envoys to intimidate;"

"My Han family is still like this, and he Lu He will naturally be even more unpopular with the Huns in court, or even by himself······"
