Yelang and Dian Kingdom have successively thrown themselves into the arms of the Han Dynasty, which has disappointed many people.

Naturally, there is no need to say much about the martial artists and the officers and men in the army, and the opportunity to earn military merits and get promoted and make a fortune is gone.

And the civil affairs are also very unhappy, and many places are waiting for Yelang and Dian to rebel against the Han, and then they can get the much-needed human resources.

After all, compared to the hard laborers who don't want anything but a bite to eat, the treatment that the big Han people need to provide in the mines, on the construction site, and on the plantation is too high.

Everyone likes the hard workers with good quality and low price, but unfortunately there are too few sources.

With the exception of sea trade transport, it is almost impossible to obtain hard labor on a large scale on land.

Before the productivity of science and technology was improved, Dahan had a great demand for human resources.

Compared with the high cost of employing the natives, the labor from outside became a sweet tooth, and even an industry was created from it, which transported the natives from all directions.

Not to mention the indigenous tribes of small countries, even the Huns were sold by their nobles to do hard labor.

Because the Han Dynasty has the strongest productive culture and technological level in the world, the goods they produce are wanted even by the Huns.

However, as Li Yunze intensified his crackdown on smuggling, the Xiongnu nobles had fewer and fewer channels to obtain goods, and they could only focus on smuggling.

Smugglers took the opportunity to raise prices, and did not ask for cattle, sheep, horses, furs, medicinal materials, etc., but asked for people.

Almost every household in the Han Dynasty has land and land, and when they are too busy, they are naturally willing to pay for slaves to farm.

Moreover, the handicraft trade is developed, and all kinds of workshops are everywhere, and they also need hard work.

This also affected the smugglers to the Xiongnu, who in turn changed the purchased goods to the Xiongnu.

For the Hun nobles, it didn't matter.

Anyway, there are a lot of people in their tribe, and it's a good thing to sell a batch of good things in exchange for the big man.

In the future, the women in the tribe will naturally give birth to more children, and this business will continue endlessly.

"The plow is lonely." Liu Ling put a few pieces of porcelain plates with exquisite workmanship, even printed patterns, and coated with gold threads, in front of Yi Zhixian, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Looking at the porcelain plate in front of him, Yi Zhi said with a smile, "How can I not know? Isn't this the good thing that has recently swept the world in the Han Kingdom, porcelain? It's really beautiful. ”

Porcelain, which appeared as early as the Yin Shang period, is a branch of pottery.

Of course, the quality of porcelain in that era was super bad, because the heat and ingredients were still being explored.

In the true sense, the prototype of modern porcelain was formed in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

For Li Yunze, technical things are not called things.

Because the main source of income was exempted from the field tax, Li Yunze continued to build state-owned workshops through technological innovation, and raised funds for the operation of the imperial court through business models.

There is no doubt that porcelain, which has been one of China's fist export commodities for more than a thousand years, naturally cannot escape the palm of his hand.

Silk, tea, and porcelain, the three major fist products, are basically fully equipped in Dahan at this time.

"The plow is lonely." Liu Ling, whose pretty face was slightly cold, stepped forward and asked again, "Do you know how much this thing is worth here in the Great Huns?" ”

Yi Zhixian himself bought a lot of porcelain from smugglers, and of course knew its price.

After all, it's a big single Yu, what's wrong with enjoying it.

Liu Ling forced him to be a Mingjun saint all day long, and was busy fighting with the Han to avenge her, and Yi Zhixian was also very depressed and needed to relax.

"These plates, two horses, or five horses." Yi Zhixian quickly gave the answer: "It can't be more." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Ling, who was originally angry, laughed instead, "That was last year's price, and the plough is lonely, but the current price?" ”

"I don't know."

Yi Zhixian shook his head very seriously, "Let's just say it." ”

Liu Ling stepped forward, stretched out his hand and picked up a porcelain plate, and gestured to Yi Zhi, "A plate." ”

Then she held out her hand and pointed to the warrior guard standing not far away, "Someone. ”

"Huh?"

Yi Zhixian was surprised, "What? Person? ”

"You don't know about the plough alone, do you?" Liu Ling sneered again and again, "The Han family's smuggling caravan has been wiped out over the years, but the rest is either selling porcelain or silk, or paper, books, musical instruments, precious stones, spices, refined salt, silk and satin, these useless things!" ”

Yi Zhi slanted and frowned slightly, "Refined salt is useless?" ”

"How many people here can afford to eat refined salt? You and I can naturally afford to eat, the nobles can afford to eat, and the warriors can barely afford to eat. But what about others? Who can afford to eat those who graze and fight? ”

Liu Ling sighed, "I don't understand the plough and Gu Tu, this is the ghost plan of the great man." ”

"How?"

"The smugglers who sold grain, cloth, iron tools, medicinal herbs, and other things that enhanced the country's strength were all eliminated. What is left now is deliberately left by the emperor of the Han family, the purpose of which is to sell things that are meaningless to the national strength to the Great Xiongnu. What can these things be used for, is it porcelain that can smash the iron frame of the Han army when you go to the battlefield, or can you be invulnerable when you wear silk to face the Han army? Or, after eating a belly of spices, going to the battlefield and spitting at the Han army, can you smoke the Han army? ”

These words are very polite, and it can even be said that Yi Zhixian has been circled.

So this big Dan Yu interrupted in a very dissatisfied voice, "Enough, if you have anything to say, just say it directly!" ”

Liu Ling sighed secretly, he was peerless in elegance and intelligence, and he was enough to match the Son of Heaven.

It's a pity, it's so bad.

She shook her head, cleaned up her mood and said, "The plough is lonely, the Han people are using these things burned from the soil to exchange them for the herdsmen under your rule." Those herders are an important resource for providing you with cattle, sheep, horses, cheese, and for you to go to war. ”

These words have been said very clearly, but Yi Zhi's attention is on the other side, "You said that such a beautiful thing was actually burned out of clay?!" ”

"Hmm."

Liu Ling nodded, "When I was in Handi, I saw a lot of this thing. Of course, the porcelain I saw was far less beautiful than it is now, and it must have been a technological breakthrough. ”

Yi Zhi asked eagerly, "Will you do it?" Or rather, do any of the doormen under your command do what they can do? ”

Liu Ling was also angry, she first shook her head vigorously, "No, those who can do these are craftsmen, how can they come to be a doorman." ”

Then Liu Ling followed and said, "Support the plough and be alone, don't think about any porcelain, think more about the herdsmen under your rule!" The emperor of the Han family is going to use this soil to replace all the herdsmen under your rule! ”

Yi Zhixian waved his hand a little disappreciatively, "It's not that exaggerated." Herders are like weeds in the wilderness, growing new ones every year. This is for some people. ”

Liu Ling, who said this, laughed angrily: "The plough is lonely, the weeds in the wilderness are one year old and one withered, and they can grow as tall as before in a year." But how many years will it take for your herdsmen to grow up to fight on horseback? ”

"Eighteen years, at least eighteen years!" Liu Ling stretched out his hands and gestured, "Support the plough and be alone, every adult herdsman you lose now, it will take eighteen years to replenish it." But will the emperor of the Han family give the Great Huns eighteen years? ”

Because there are disciples who have been spying on intelligence in Dahan for a long time, Liu Ling knows far more about the situation in Dahan than Yi Zhixian.

At this time, the Han Dynasty is thriving in one word.

The products are abundant, the population is skyrocketing, the people's hearts are towards the Son of Heaven, and the four barbarians are vying for help.

In Liu Ling's view, the Han Dynasty at this time already had a strong advantage over the Xiongnu, and it was even the kind that could directly go out to fight on a large scale.

It's just that I don't understand why the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty didn't do it for a long time.

Of course, she didn't know that the reason why Li Yunze waited and didn't make a move was, on the one hand, to form a larger cavalry group and lay a solid logistics foundation for the cavalry group.

On the other hand, it is waiting for a boy to grow up, waiting for the day when he will be born and go to the end of the world with a sword!

"The plow is lonely." Liu Ling took a deep breath and said, "According to the reports of the spies, the Han family has been expanding and building a new horse breeding prison, and it is said that the number of horses raised has reached hundreds of thousands, and the number of cavalry trained is also hundreds of thousands. Although I don't know why it has not been out of the fortress, I dare to assert that in ten years at the latest, the Han army will inevitably attack and fight a decisive battle with the Great Huns. At that time, the small herdsmen under the command of the plough Gutu had not yet grown up, and they might have ridden to the battlefield, but they were exchanged for tens of thousands or even 100,000 people by the Han family for porcelain made of clay. ”

After hearing these words, Yi Zhixian's expression was finally moved.

In the final analysis, he is not an incompetent person, and he can still understand the meaning of Liu Ling's words.

The Huns are now able to fight back and forth with the Han family, and the real reliance is on the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind, using mobility to drag down the Han army by riding against each other, so as to grasp the initiative on the battlefield.

However, if the large-scale cavalry training of the Han army is completed, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cavalry are mobilized, in the face of the Han cavalry group, which is far superior to itself in terms of technology and tactics, military discipline, equipment, morale, organization, etc., the Huns will not only not have the slightest advantage, but will even be at a disadvantage.

After all, where is the productivity, the Great Huns are completely out of production in the real sense, and the warriors who have the time and energy to be able to boil up martial arts and conduct intensive training will only support tens of thousands of people if they die.

The real big ones are the herders who spend the day taking care of their livestock, stockpiling fodder, making cheese and so on.

If, as Liu Ling said, the Han family could exchange these herdsmen just with soil, it would cost the life of the Great Huns.

In the words of the Han family. Draw from the bottom of the kettle!

"I see."

Yi Zhi, who looked solemn, nodded vigorously, "I'll do this now." ”

The Yizhi used his power to strictly restrict the tribes from selling herdsmen to smugglers.

This kind of approach still has an effect, at least the things that are above board on the surface are gone.

But in fact, in private, they still went their own way, and there were even smugglers of the Huns, who used their own herdsmen as commodities and sent them to the Great Wall.

The big men are so powerful, and they are repeatedly forbidden for this kind of thing.

When a tribal alliance like the Huns, where tribes of all sizes have a high degree of autonomy, how can it be possible that the plough can be broken with a single order?

Even if he is really a god descending from heaven, he can't stop the nobles of various tribes from enjoying the good things from the Han Dynasty and yearning for a better life.

After all, the gap between the civilization and enjoyment of the Xiongnu and the Han is too great.

Because of this incident, Yi Zhixian had to fight openly and secretly with the vassals under his command, and there was a big incident, which was really a chicken feather.

When the news was transmitted to the distant Chang'an City, and when it was delivered to Li Yunze, who was shooting arrows at the shooting range with Huo Quzhi and others, he only had one sentence after reading it.

"Send it to the prime minister and tell him that he can move on to the next step."
