In the spring of the sixth year of the Xiyuan Dynasty, Liu Zhi issued an edict to commend the heroes in the Northern Xiongnu War.

Fenwei General Duan Cheng, crowned as the general of Zhenxi, plus 300 households of Shiyi, Fubo General Huangfu Gui, crowned as the general of Zhenbei, and Zhang Huan as the general of Zhendong.

Quan Xu, the lieutenant general of the Yulin Army, was not promoted, but he sealed the Yiting Township Marquis and ate 300 households.

The rest of the generals were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and this battle could be regarded as fulfilling Liu Zhi's wish and completely solving the stubborn disease of the Northern Xiongnu empire.

You must know that since the end of the Warring States period, the Xiongnu have been the number one enemy of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, which has made the northwest border uneasy for a long time and seriously dragged down the national economy.

However, it is precisely because the strong enemy is eyeing the tiger that the Han has always been waiting for the day and does not dare to relax a little.

Even if the country was weakened later, it was always very strong in terms of military combat effectiveness.

Later generations said that "the Han Dynasty died by force", although it is exaggerated and not true, but it also has its own truth.

Now Liu Zhi is working hard to rectify the military prestige, and the combat effectiveness has increased exponentially, so it is said that the Northern Xiongnu were not unjustly defeated.

With the advent of spring, Liu Zhi's biggest worry is that the epidemic is repeated, after all, spring is the high incidence period of infectious diseases, and the plague in Surabaya County has not been completely stopped.

Fortunately, Jiujiang County has been well controlled, and it is enough to have Zhang Bin in charge, so Dou Yun immediately rushed to Surabaya County and personally went out to control it.

When the spring passed, the most feared thing did not happen after all, and Liu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

With the advent of summer, the epidemic was finally completely extinguished, and when Dou Yun led the team back to Beijing, Liu Zhi presided over a grand welcome ceremony for him.

and issued an edict to ask for credit for all the doctors who participated in the fight against the epidemic, and Dou Yun was made a marquis, which also made the status of doctors rise instantly.

Liu Zhi took advantage of the situation to set up a medical school in Beijing to train medical talents, and built the first national hospital in Dahan in Chengguo.

After this round of anti-epidemic, the Han people have great confidence in medicine, believing that as long as they work hard, many incurable diseases that were daunting in the past can be defeated.

At this time, Dou Yun's prestige was in full swing and won the respect of the whole country.

On this day, he suddenly came to the Zhongde Hall to ask to see Liu Zhi, "Your Majesty, the minister is old and is not suitable to serve as the imperial physician again, I hope Your Majesty can approve it." ”

Liu Zhi was taken aback, and then he noticed that in just one year, Dou Yun had aged a lot, his beard was gray, and even his back was slightly rickety.

"It's been really hard for you all these years, and it's good to retire, but you can't resign from the position of dean of the medical school."

Dou Yun smiled, "This is natural, and it is precisely because of his limited energy that he wants to concentrate on writing books and educating people, so he resigned." ”

"That's good, Dean Dou, I still have something to discuss with you."

Seeing that Dou Yun didn't plan to be a shopkeeper, Liu Zhi finally let go.

"Although the plague has disappeared for the time being, if the source is not extinguished, I am afraid that it will return in a few years.

I've also read the investigation report you submitted, and the plague is mainly spread through water, so I want to enact an ordinance to solve this problem and prevent the plague from recurring. ”

Dou Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Great goodness, Your Majesty's move is really for the benefit of all the people, so the minister will go back and hold a meeting to discuss how to prevent it from happening." ”

"Then it's hard for you, and there is a successor to the Imperial Doctor's Order, please also bother to recommend one."

This Dou Yun is an anxious man, as long as he has an idea, he can't wait for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The successor minister has already thought about it, it is Zhang Bin, whether it is prestige and medical skills, as well as the benevolence of the doctor, he is the best choice." ”

Zhang Bin was originally a famous doctor in Yangzhou, and this anti-epidemic and Dou Yun worked together, and the two exchanged medical skills with each other and respected each other.

And Zhang Bin is more than ten years younger than him, it is when he is in the prime of life, and it is indeed suitable to serve as the imperial doctor.

Here Dou Yun hurriedly left, he did things vigorously, and three days later, he submitted the negotiated regulations.

Liu Zhi took it to the court and discussed it, and everyone unanimously agreed, so he released it to the world in the form of an official document.

The regulations stipulate that no one shall pollute the drinking water source, and all dead swine fever chickens and other animal carcasses must be dug and buried deeply.

It is best to use water for bathing and laundry separately from drinking water sources, and it is recommended that families with conditions drink boiled cooked water.

The people try their best to exterminate rats, prevent their infectious bacteria, and do not defecate in the open and a series of sanitary measures.

If anyone is found to have maliciously polluted a water source, he will be severely punished, up to a maximum penalty of exile.

The world has been suffering from plagues for a long time, and when I heard that this was formulated by Dou Yun himself, they all believed it, and most people strictly abided by it.

Of course, boiling water, many ordinary people could not do it, in ancient times mainly relied on firewood to make fire, even if Liu Zhi invented biogas, it was only spread in relatively wealthy places.

In some remote and remote places, those who lack labor at home cannot afford to do so, so they can only drink mountain springs or well water as much as possible.

Pay attention to cash red envelopes!

The regulations have been promulgated, but the hygiene habits and concepts of the Han people still need a long time to build, and they will not be able to achieve results overnight.

Dou Yun took the lead in organizing a special plague research institute at the medical school, hoping to overcome this crisis of the century in his lifetime.

Within the imperial court, Liu Zhi re-strengthened the policy of ethnic integration, but for the Northern Xiongnu, it was probably not enough to appease me.

After all, this nation is fierce and uninhibited, has strong combat effectiveness, and has a centuries-old hatred with the Han people, and it is basically impossible to integrate into the Han in a short period of time like the Qiang people.

Therefore, Liu Zhiling, who has always been a rigid and soft emperor, led troops to garrison Mobei, and because of the vast territory there, he forcibly relocated many military households to help guard the frontier.

Although the Northern Xiongnu were defeated, there is a long way to go for his governance, and I am afraid that it cannot be completed in one or two generations.

Hundreds of years of blood feud, one or two decades, how can it be forgotten.

Therefore, while pacifying, all behaviors that move behind the scenes will be severely punished, and the word "kill".

However, the situation in Kangju is completely different, although there are cultural barriers and differences, but there is no hatred between the two countries.

Liu Zhi adopted a policy of Huairou and appointed a pro-Han Kangju royal family as the governor of the Imperial Protectorate, and almost all the original noble ministers could serve in the Imperial Protectorate as long as they did not escape.

Of course, Liu Zhi also appointed a group of aspiring young courtiers to the past, and their preferential policies were the same as those of other prefectures.

The Silk Road was also reopened, and people were sent to explore the northern route, from where the journey to Rome would be closer and less unruly.

Last year's war and plague seriously stretched the country's economy.

Although a batch of grain was purchased from Tianzhu and Shenzhi, the treasury expenditure was too large, but even so, Liu Zhi withstood strong pressure and did not resume tax collection.

However, his previous plan to dig the canal had to be postponed indefinitely.

In order to solve the problem of water sources, the military and civilians worked together to build karez wells to divert water from the snow-capped mountains for irrigation.

Although it is not suitable for growing rice, dryland crops and melons and fruits are abundant, and as long as they are developed, it will not be a dream to turn barren mountains into oases in the future.

Moreover, he increased his investment in Liaodong, and after several years of gradual migration and the acceptance of agricultural culture by the local population, rice and soybean yields skyrocketed.

If it continues to develop like this, it will become an important granary of Dahan in a few years.

Traditional grain-producing areas such as Jing, Yang, Henan, and Xu have also gradually recovered their productivity, and so far, there are no affected places, only the Jiaozhou area.

Although the country's grain storage is in an emergency, Liu Zhi is not worried at all, and with the population and land area of Dahan, as long as the policy is stable, the grain problem will soon be solved.

In the autumn of this year, Deng Yan, who was overseas, sent a Changshi back to Beijing, brought many Nanyang specialties, and reported the situation to Liu Zhi.

He was accompanied by envoys from various countries in the South Seas, and they all expressed their intention to be dependent and submit.

On behalf of the statue of the head of the country, Liu Zhi submitted his credentials, expressing his sincerity in paying tribute.

In the long river of history, Liu Zhi has always felt that there is a very strange phenomenon, and all dynasties have been accustomed to being generous when dealing with various subject countries.

Accept a little symbolic gift, and then reward with real money, so that every time those small countries come to Beijing to pay tribute, it is as if they are here to fight the autumn wind.

In the prosperous Sui and Tang dynasties, which had a good face, there were many vassal states, and the emperor was known as the Heavenly Khan, and he would accept tribute from his subjects every year.

The reward has become a huge expense for the state. In particular, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty stipulated that the envoys of the vassal states could stay and eat for free, so that the people complained.

Liu Zhi thought it was incredible, their purpose for submitting to him was because I was strong enough to protect you by force.

In this case, why do I have to contribute money, is the face of the country of Tianhan really so important.

At this point, the former Han Dynasty was no exception, and the tribes of Wuhuan and Liaodong and Liaoxi came to pay tribute, which time did not make a lot of money.

Now, Liu Zhi changed his strategy and signed an alliance with them, which officially stipulated that he would send troops to help them defend against the enemy if necessary.

We will also lend a helping hand in times of great disaster, and in terms of trade between the two countries, we will relax the conditions for mutual trading.

In return, the vassal would pay a certain amount of money, but the exact amount was not imposed, depending on the situation in the country at that time.

And Liu Zhi will also have some polite rewards, not too much, and the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning.

When this point was first raised, it was opposed by many courtiers, who thought that this was an old example of our ancestors, and that our Han land was vast and rich, so we should let you and other small countries see the grandeur of the ceremonial state.

Liu Zhi scoffed at this, as the proprietor country, I didn't forcibly enslave you, I was already the king of benevolence and righteousness.

If you want me to post it upside down, it can only be said that it is a manifestation of lack of self-confidence in my heart.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the reason why such a special phenomenon was formed was because the country at that time had just been established and was not strong enough.

can only give some small favors in this way, which is considered half bribery and half bribery, but it turned out to be a practice later and has been retained.

Now that the Han Dynasty has an outstanding military value, the surrounding small countries admire him, or are shocked by his strength, so he has the heart to return.

After some verbal arguments in the court, due to Liu Zhi's resolute and clear attitude, most of the courtiers finally compromised.

So Liu Zhi struck while the iron was hot and preserved this resolution in the form of the imperial court's foreign system.

In this way, when his descendants arrived, it also became the old practice of the ancestors, the court system. Deng Yan wrote a letter and told him about the overseas development.

The Golden Peninsula has been encroached upon by him, and it has been officially incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and while rectifying local government affairs, he has begun to dredge Ivory Bay.

At the front and back of the strait, a suitable place was chosen, and the construction of the harbor was being carried out day and night.

However, there is a slight difference between the two ports, the front port faces the vast sea, and its main role is commerce, so it is mostly merchant ships.

The port behind is in the inland sea, and the main ships docked in it are ready to attack at any time.

At the same time, a large number of craftsmen sent from the mainland are cutting wood and building ships in the local area, which has also led to the local iron-smelting process.

Deng Yan asked Liu Zhi to send another group of officials to serve overseas to rule and develop the local economy, and he himself was ready to set sail to explore the vast world in the sea after the situation stabilized.

Liu Zhi has always trusted him very much in his work ability, and this time, in addition to selecting officials, he also sent Deng Yan's wife Yang Yi and young son over.

Over the years, he has traveled for the country, and the husband and wife have gathered less and left more, and until now, Deng Yan has only one son.

This made Liu Zhi feel deeply guilty, thinking that he was about to set sail soon, so he secretly sent Yang Yi over, which could be regarded as a surprise for him.

also hopes that the two of them can have a few more children, so that the Deng family, which is already thin, will spread out.

Deng Yan's youngest brother Deng Yuan has now grown up, and he has been learning business with his brother since he was a child, and he is very talented in this regard.

He was also interested in ocean exploration, and asked to escort his sister-in-law to the South Seas, hoping to join the ocean-going fleet and go further overseas to see it.

Liu Zhi admired his ambition very much, but he hesitated, after all, the Deng family has a total of two sons, so they can't all be sent to explore.

The sea is unpredictable, and there is a danger of capsizing at all times, Liu Zhi was concerned about Mrs. Xuan's thoughts, and asked Empress Deng Meng to go home and ask her intentions.

The result was beyond his expectations, but Mrs. Xuan, who had always doted on her younger son, was very much in favor of it, and turned her head to plead with the emperor, hoping that he could fulfill her son's ambition.

Deng Meng replied, "Mother said, a good man has ambitions in all directions, and the greatest wish of the late husband was to be able to travel all over the world."

It's a pity that the day is not over, and now his son is just inheriting his father's will, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of a wish of her for many years. ”

Liu Zhi was very impressed, Mrs. Xuan was generous, open-minded, and a rare heroine.

Only such an open-minded mother can raise such excellent children.
