885 The Future of the Third Reich (1)
Zhuge Liang didn't know what Chen Yao had experienced before, but he didn't really want to agree with what Chen Yao said.
Although Chen Yao said that Liu Bei told him about Liu Bei's experience before becoming the emperor, Zhuge Liang knew more or less about it, and knew what kind of situation Liu Bei fought from.
However, Zhuge Liang believes that a government that needs to rely on cannibalism among colleagues to stabilize the situation is unlikely to be stable, nor can it lead the country to continue to move forward.
A court and a government will certainly have no future if they can't devote most of their energy to business.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, if you must master the ability to run people, you must not regard the matter of running people as more important than doing things.
Those countries that were once prosperous basically went into decline because they were better at running people than doing things.
So Zhuge Liang will never agree with this.
To find a common goal, gather a common will, and push the country to the peak together, this is his ideal court.
The three-month period of observing the government came to an end, and the three thousand scholars of the first imperial examination also embarked on their own different life paths, and the ten people led by Zhuge Liang did not go to the local collective farms to accumulate experience like the others, but followed Chen Qun's office team to leave Luoyang and go to Chang'an.
Chen Qun can be said to be serious and feels that he has made the right choice, and during his time in Chang'an, this ten-person newcomer group gave him a great surprise, especially Zhuge Liang.
Initially, after only three or four days of adaptation, Zhuge Liang was able to help him handle the key government affairs of the Eight Classics, Chen Qun only needed to do a check at the end to see if the way Zhuge Liang gave him was correct and whether there was any problem.
The results proved that it was basically right, Zhuge Liang had a unique super ability to deal with these things that require a lot of calculation and thinking ability, and it took normal people half an hour to reach a conclusion, and he could draw a conclusion without taking a stick of incense.
When doing mathematical operations, Chen Qun noticed that Zhuge Liang didn't even need to make a draft, he could get the result directly by mental arithmetic, and others had to do pen calculations and add calculations, but Zhuge Liang didn't need them all.
A complicated formula, he only needs to go through it in his heart, and the answer will come out, very unreasonable ability, and Li Wei, Zhang Yun and others around him were stunned.
Some people want to learn, and Zhuge Liang is willing to teach, but I don't know why, none of them understand Zhuge Liang's teaching methods, and in the end, everyone can only helplessly think that there is a reason why geniuses are geniuses.
Living in the same era as a genius is too much of a test of their psychological adjustment ability.
Chen Qun was overjoyed, and continued to hand over the things he felt had a headache to Zhuge Liang to deal with, what was given to Zhuge Liang was the question, and what came back was the standard answer, and Chen Qun didn't even need to check it later, and sent it out as it was, and there was no mistake once.
After the whole operation was over, Zhuge Lian and his nine rookie partners had become a very cohesive and combat-effective administrative gang, and after Chen Qun asked for merit for them, Liu Bei gave them a very generous material reward, and then promoted the ten people to a higher rank.
It means that they have just started working on the collective farm, and they are already the officials of the ninth grade.
Subsequently, these ten people were arranged by Liu Bei to work in the collective farm in Yunzhong County, because the local conditions were relatively difficult, and the construction and development of the collective farm were relatively difficult, and it was not easy to promote agricultural production.
Liu Bei thought that these ten people had a certain amount of experience, young and capable, so he handed over the more difficult tasks to them, and if they did a good job, then within two years, Liu Bei planned to promote them to positions in the county.
The average newcomer representative must be at least three years before he can be promoted to work in the county.
Zhuge Liang's matter has come to an end, Liu Bei still has a lot to do, he can't put too much energy on Zhuge Liang, who is growing, he is the emperor of the empire, and he has to think about the future of the empire.
The entire battle of Yizhou was fought from June to December in the sixth year of Zhenguan, and it lasted for half a year.
The Han army dispatched all the military strength of the Xishu Military Region, and sent two armies from Luoyang to reinforce, and 50,000 Han troops went south and fought many battles with the Turen rebels in Yuewang County, Qianwei Vassal, Qiqi County, Yizhou County and Yongchang County.
The outbreak of this round of rebellion of the natives in the south of Yizhou was not only the participation of the local natives in the south of Yizhou, but also the shadow of some foreign countries south of Yongchang County, so when the Han army hit Yongchang County, it really caught some forces belonging to other countries and even small-scale troops.
These countries did not seem to know the strength of the Han Empire, or thought that the mountains and roads here were too far for the Han army to defeat, so they openly wanted to separate the area around Yongchang County and turn it into their territory.
In order to further stabilize the rule of the southwestern border, Liu Bei ordered the division of Yizhou, and divided the five administrative regions of Yuewang County, Qianwei Subject, Qiqi County, Yizhou County and Yongchang County in the south of Yizhou, and set up Yunzhou separately.
In addition, he also renamed the Xishu Military Region as the Southwest Military Region, moved the army station south to Dianchi County in Yizhou County, and moved the main force of the Han army south to Yunzhou, where he formally promoted the policy of large-scale development and began to implement strategies such as immigration, capital injection, road construction, bridge building, and development.
More than 200,000 prisoners of war captured in the Yizhou battle became the main force of development, and in addition, experienced technicians from all over the country were recruited to follow the Yunzhou government team into the Yunzhou territory to carry out research, and from the beginning of the seventh year of Zhenguan, the rule of Yunzhou was strengthened.
And after that, Liu Bei arranged for the secret agent forces in the East Garden to infiltrate Southeast Asia and South Asia from the southwestern border, draw maps, find roads, and the idea of swallowing Southeast Asia and establishing a tentacle of influence in South Asia also began to take shape.
However, because of the complex terrain and extremely harsh natural environment of Yunzhou, the progress of this work was very limited, and the losses were quite large, so that the opposition from both inside and outside the government and the opposition to the opening up of the southern territory has always been quite large.
Liu Bei could only carry the pressure and move forward slowly, and the progress of Yunzhou's governance was not as fast as expected.
From the beginning, Liu Bei had the idea of dividing the prince to establish a satellite state of the Han Empire in a foreign country, as an alternative that could not be controlled outside the extreme wall of the empire, and repeated the strategy of the Western Zhou Dynasty to expand its territory, and in order to implement this strategy, a lot of preparation was required.
For the entire sub-sealing plan, Liu Bei also made many modifications and adjustments, and finally came up with a more stable sub-sealing plan.
According to his future aggressive plan, the Indochina Peninsula in the south, the Japanese archipelago in the east, the Pamir Plateau in the west, and the Beihai Sea in the north are all the mainland of the Han Empire that he targeted, and this is the territory he will actually control with his army and policy.
At this stage, there are still many difficulties in controlling these territories, but if they are controlled, they will certainly play a significant role in the future.
For example, the Indochina Peninsula has excellent hydrological conditions suitable for agricultural production, but it is necessary to pay attention to the infestation of epidemics.
The Japanese archipelago was prone to earthquakes and volcanoes, and the land was barren, but there were a large number of gold, silver and copper mines, which played a major role in boosting the future economic reform of the Han Empire, and it must be controlled.
Although the land on the Pamir Plateau is barren and unfavorable to agricultural production, as long as it is controlled, it can form a superior strategic posture in Central Asia, which is enough to prevent the Central Asian power from invading the Western Regions, and thus protect the western part of the empire and the smooth flow of the Silk Road.
Beihai was regarded by Liu Bei as a jewel in the crown of the empire, the location of Su Wu's sheep herding, and a symbol of the indomitable spirit of the nation, whether it was for the consideration of future water resources, or the consideration of the national spirit, inheritance and strategic buffer zone, he wanted to occupy the local area.
These four places are the imperial pole walls he set up for the Han Empire.
Outside the extreme wall of the empire is the place where he sets up the satellite countries, and the places that the satellite countries cannot reach are completely extraterritorial, wild places.
This set of ruling methods, he referred to the ancient Chinese Huayi thought, in the center of China, the four directions of the southeast, northwest and the outside of the territory are all wild land, and in his case, the Han Empire itself is naturally Huaxia Shenzhou, and the satellite countries outside can be called Little China.
It's not even a satellite country, it's naturally a wild land.
As for the establishment of satellite states, Liu Bei also has a preliminary plan.
Central Asia, where the Kushan and Parthian empires were located, could set up several feudal states.
In South Asia, where India is located, several feudal states can be established.
On the islands of Southeast Asia, you can also try to set up several feudal states.
Forget about the east, it is an endless sea, and when science and technology develop and the sextant is invented, you can try to cross the Pacific Ocean to play with the Native Americans.
To the north is the vast ice field, which will have little development value for a long time to come, so there is no need to set up a feudal state.
Unless the warm period of Xia, Shang and Zhou returns to the earth, and elephants can run in Henan, the Siberian Plain may still have some agricultural value.
After this plan was set, Liu Bei did a lot of preparations, and he even improved the world map little by little according to his own memory, marked the seven continents and five oceans on the map, and made a description of the entire earth, and then took out his own plan to seal the country.
At the decision-making meeting within the high-level of the empire, Liu Bei made the feudal plan an internal disclosure, and the world map was also made public for the first time.
Everyone has no reason not to believe it, because Liu Bei is a very magical person in their opinion, they can dream of the Imperial Heroes in a dream, and they can form a group to fight in a dream, let alone other aspects.
So no one can raise any objections to Liu Bei's relatively complete future closure plan and development plan.
For the things they don't know, they can't object, for fear that Liu Bei will say that he dreamed of something terrible, then there is no need.
So everything in the future was announced by Liu Bei to the high-level decision-making circle.
Everyone knows that Liu Bei's future plan is for his eldest son to live in it and become the emperor of the empire, and other talented princes will be divided into other places to become the kings of satellite states, become the barrier and vassal state of the Han Empire, and continue to expand outward.
And what about the prince who has no talent?
Then stay in the Han Empire, be a prince and prince of Taiping, receive your own share of the lulu, and live a life in peace and stability, which can be regarded as their reincarnation, but power or something, don't touch it.
"The love of parents is far-reaching, I think I have more than one talented child, Liu Shen, the rest of the children, especially Liu Ze, are also very talented, I don't want him to waste his talents, mediocre life.
So I thought, the strategy of the ancestors in ancient times was actually good, in order to maintain internal stability, there was the inheritance of the eldest son, and what about other possibilities? It was up to other talented children to develop it, which was the best solution they could think of, and the best conclusion I could draw.
You will also have many children, and you will have all kinds of family disputes, and you will want to let the family expenses go away, so if possible, you may send your own family children to follow my sons out to expand the territory and create your own kingdom.
Succeeded, survived, to put it mildly, no matter what happens in the future, the sky collapses and the earth collapses, we are all dead, and the family bloodline is still passed on, it is impossible to collapse at the same time, it doesn't matter if it fails, open up the territory, where are the immortals?
Anyway, I'm ready to lose some children, it's not that I don't love them, it's just that I'm in this position, I can't allow my love for them to be more than my love for the entire Han Kingdom, what I can do for them is to find the best path for the country for them to go. ”
Liu Bei communicated his thoughts with his old subordinates and expressed some of his thoughts in the future, and the high-level decision-making circle was shocked, but soon accepted the reality.
The Third Reich was completely different from the Second Reich, the First Reich and the countries that preceded it, this country was going to take a completely different path, pioneering would be the mainstream, it would be a concept that would be widely accepted by the whole society, and as the upper echelons, in a sense, they needed to lead by example.
After this long-term national policy was formulated, Liu Bei began targeted preparations, and the national strategy of the entire Han Empire was also formalized, and all plans made great strides towards the same goal.
Also in the seventh year of Zhenguan, the general Gan Ning returned, and he returned to the port of Ninan County with the fleet, and soon sent a lot of news to Luoyang.
They successfully reached the Great Qin State, although they experienced some hardships, sank three large ships, and killed many people, but they successfully sold all the goods on the ship, brought back a full load of gold and silver, and brought back a navigable sea route, as well as the envoys of the Great Qin State.
After the Roman Empire came into contact with the merchant fleet and official envoys of the Han Empire, it was very pleasantly surprised and spent a lot of money to buy all the goods on the ship, and the Roman Emperor personally summoned Gan Ning.
Although the two sides do not understand each other's language, there are still some language talents who can help the two sides communicate along the way, and successfully build a bridge for the communication between the two sides.
The Roman Emperor expressed his condolences to the Emperor of the Han Empire and hoped that the exchanges between the two sides would continue, and he hoped that the Roman and Han Empires could achieve commercial exchanges, and that they could send fleets and envoys to each other to increase mutual understanding.
He said that Rome was very fond of the silk, lacquer and porcelain of the Han Empire, and also liked the iron pots of the Han Empire, and if he could, he wanted to buy them on a large scale, and the price was not a problem, the main thing was whether they could be delivered.
After a month of hospitality, Gan Ning set off for China, bringing with him Roman envoys and linguistic talents, as well as an infinite desire for the goods of the Han Empire, and thus opened a new chapter in the exchange of the two world empires of the East and the West.
After that, Liu Bei officially set up the Municipal Shipping Department in Rinan County, and also set up a corresponding competent department in the Ministry of Households, which listed the maritime trade in different categories and managed it specially.
For the needs of the Roman Empire, Liu Bei said that he would do his best to meet them, and he also said that he would do his best to meet the "discount" that the other party craved - of course, the premise is that the price will be increased in advance, and then the discount will be at the original level, or even higher than the original level.
But the bureaucrats of the Roman Empire obviously didn't care about this, as long as the Han Empire made superficial concessions and provided sufficient goods, then everything else could be done according to the Han Empire's will.
As a result, in the seventh year of Zhenguan, the Han Empire obtained a relatively stable overseas trade route.
In order to better maintain the stability of this overseas trade route, Liu Bei decided to accept the envoys of the Roman Empire to be stationed in Luoyang, and Liu Bei also decided to send diplomats to the Roman Empire for permanent residence, and both sides could negotiate some commercial and trade issues that needed to be communicated in a timely manner through the presence of diplomatic envoys.
So Gan Ning, who had just returned to the Han Empire not long ago, received another mission to go to sea.
However, Gan Ning didn't feel bad, his restless genes made him particularly dislike comfort, and he liked to challenge the unknown and the future, so he gladly accepted the second mission to sea.
Liu Bei then asked him to further observe the state of every country he passed through along the way, including the state of the Roman Empire.
"The previous report is well written, I like it, but I think it can be more detailed, especially to observe the living conditions of people in various countries, to see what they eat, drink, wear, and do, just the words of the official and the army, it is not enough."
Liu Bei explained to Gan Ning like this, and Gan Ning immediately said that he understood, and coming back this time would definitely bring more detailed news to Liu Bei.
Naturally, the East Park spies also went out a lot, and Liu Bei even planned to arrange people to be stationed in Rome for business, replenish goods regularly, and start to set up transit stations in various countries along the way, so as to completely expand and stabilize the business.
For Liu Bei's ambition and the benefits brought by the return from the first sea, there were not one or two people who admired and red-eyed, Liu Bei took the opportunity to send someone to publicize the matter, went deep into the folk propaganda, and gradually linked the sea with gold and silver.
To go to sea is to get gold and silver, and to go to sea is to be able to fight for wealth.
Is it dangerous?
It was very dangerous, Gan Ning's first round of sailing fleet sank three ships for technical reasons, and many people died, and later came back to summarize the technical experience, thinking that the wood of the shipbuilding, especially the wood of the keel, was not dried, so that the durability of the ship was problematic.
But so what?
Hearing that the shipyard had given a plan for drying for at least three years, Gan Ning shook his head again and again.
"I can't wait for three years, it's too wasteful, going to sea is a fight for life and death, those who dare to go to sea with me are all bold, just prepare more boats, I'll go to my sea, you prepare more keels, prepare more wood, wait for the next batch of shipbuilding, I'll go first!"
Gan Ning can't stop, and there are many people who don't want to stop at all, knowing that going to sea is risky, but the benefits are greater, and they really can't wait for three years.
Similarly, Liu Bei can't wait for these three years.
As a result, seven years after Zhenguan, the matter of overseas trade gradually became a hot topic in the Han Empire.
At the same time, the news of the hot trade in the Western Regions also reached Luoyang, so the north went out of the Western Regions and the south went to the Western Ocean, which became the wealth code of the Han Empire.
