Chapter 640

Liu Yan has recently overheard the beautiful woman song written by Li Yannian during the Xiaowu emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. It is difficult to repeat the tune.

It's a coincidence to hear it once, twice, or more than three times. Liu Yan only knew the beauty song in advance, but he didn't know who created it, let alone the creative background of the beauty song. He asked the relevant background story and creator, and found that more than one person was working. What was left in his heart was a sneer.

After the possible cleaning storm, it is conceivable that all the ministers are terrified. In particular, Liu Yangen has not been controlled by anyone, not even moral constraints. Everything depends on Liu Yan to restrain himself. Of course, they should be afraid.

Throughout history, the more ambitious a king is, the more ruthless he must be. As long as he can achieve his goal, there are no people who can't be killed or sacrificed in the eyes of the king.

For a king who can sacrifice and kill everyone in order to achieve his goal, as long as his ideas and aspirations can strengthen the country and finally succeed, it must be a good thing for the future of the country and nation, but not for contemporary people.

In order to eliminate the scourge of the Xiongnu, Emperor Xiaowu of the Western Han Dynasty almost fought again and again in his life. Countless Han children died in the war. China also moved from prosperity under the rule of emperor Wenjing to depression and withering.

During Liu Che's reign, the Xiongnu in the northern grassland fell from the status of peerless overlord. The days when the Xiongnu wanted to seize any country around them are gone forever. The northern Han Dynasty no longer had to endure the Xiongnu's annual grass Valley, nor did it have to send out princesses and a huge amount of dowry every few years.

The bloodshed of the officers and men of the Han Empire not only brought stability to the northern Xinjiang, but also satisfied the national self-esteem. Then Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty gave the Xiongnu a heavy blow, which split the Xiongnu into two parts. The northern Xiongnu fled to the west, and the remaining Southern Xiongnu became a vicious dog kept in the Han Dynasty.

After more than 100 years of fierce war, the state of Han has changed from a country unknown to all countries to a hegemonic country. All countries that know the existence of the Han Empire are worried, and the Chinese civilization has ushered in the tribute of other nationalities for the first time. This tributary system was born in the Western Han Dynasty and lasted nearly two thousand years.

Liu Che became emperor Wu for thousands of years, and Liu Bing was also a decisive king. The martial arts they fought during their rule made a nation appear in the world and have been passed on.

Liu Yan saw a series before he went through. The title of Emperor Hanwu commented on Emperor Hanwu: he established an unprecedented dignity of a country; He gave an ethnic group the confidence to stand up for thousands of years; His country name has become the eternal name of a great nation. (such an evaluation is hard to see)

And no matter how well the series was made, when Liu Yan repeatedly watched the opening of the film, he got goose bumps all over every time. When he watched it for the first time, he even had an impulse to cry.

It is not surprising that Liu Yan has such a state of mind when he thinks about the scenery of a strong man and looks at the tolerance under the control of China everywhere.

Sure enough, if you are at a disadvantage and look at history, you can find self-confidence from the glory of your ancestors, and because you have such self-confidence, you firmly believe that you will reach that height. Therefore, a nation's history is not dispensable. In addition to showing off its long history, history itself is a nation's heritage.

There is a saying called "the merit lies in the present and the advantage lies in the future". Another saying is "the disadvantage lies in the present and the advantage lies in the future". In fact, the latter sentence explains everything. Liu Che of the Western Han Dynasty sacrificed one generation for the courage of future generations to stand in the forest of nations in the world. Yang Guang of Yang Sui dug the canal for whatever purpose, but also made the canal benefit future generations. There are more things that are not widely spread, and some are deliberately distorted. For example, Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty has been committed to eliminating the barbarians.

Many things are clearly right, but under the influence of some unspoken words, the right things will be interpreted negatively because of inappropriate times.

Liu Yan knew that the officials were afraid and began to hope that his ambition would not be so great. After driving away Hu Rufu and recovering the old land of the Han family, he could take the lead in enjoying it well, and let everyone breathe and let them do things such as expanding the family.

Nothing can kill a person's will more than wine, lust and wealth, among which beauty is the most effective. When Liu Yan sneered, he was disappointed with the ministers who couldn't keep up with him. He didn't think how beautiful those who can be praised by the beauty song are.

"If there is a beautiful woman?" Ran min was fully armed and murderous. He said at the right time: "kill him immediately!"

Ran min stands outside the west gate of Xiangguo and will be sent off by Liu Yan to Dingxiang to give the last curtain to the Jie nationality.

Liu Yan knows that ran Min has always been excluded by the majority, and only a very few people are willing to communicate with him. In that case, they can speak out, which means that no matter who is planning, he has nothing to do with ran min.

"If I go here, I will do my best to kill the people I see." Ran min's eyes were very firm, but behind him he grinned and asked, "how many years have you been to Longxi?"

"Can enter the basin." Liu Yan explained something before. When seeing him off, ran min asked about the strategic goal and had to talk again: "there is a plateau on the basin. If you have ever entered the basin, you can incorporate savages who adapt to the plateau and explore the plateau first."

If Liu Yan remembers correctly, the plateau was conquered only in Yuan and Mongolia, and the Daming Dynasty set up duogan capital department and Wusi Tibetan capital department. Any previous dynasty stopped below the plateau, and the Tang Dynasty in the prosperous Tang Dynasty of the strong Han Dynasty has always been suppressed?

Because of the altitude, not everyone can adapt to the plateau. What Liu Yan knows is that the altitude of the grassland is about 3000 meters, but the altitude on the other side of the plateau is 4000 meters. The yuan and Mongolia's ability to conquer the plateau has something to do with the grassland people's relative adaptation to the altitude. The Ming Dynasty also brought the plateau into its territory by borrowing a lot of strength from the grassland.

"When Yongzeng went to Longxi, I would send more troops." Liu Yan saw an obvious happy look on ran min's face and said with a smile: "the follow-up force is composed of prisoners on the grassland. It can always be used as a precursor, but we can't forget that the standing army does altitude training."

Ran min didn't have the concept of altitude. He heard Liu Yan talk more than once that the Han people might not be able to adapt to the plateau. He had long been very dissatisfied and thought that as long as it was land, there was no place that the Han people could not conquer. He listened to Liu Yanshen's important words too many times. Even if he refused again, he didn't dare to be careless. As soon as he heard that there was a slave army composed of grassland people, he couldn't help being curious.

"The grassland Hu people also live at high altitudes all year round. Compared with the Han people who live at low altitudes all year round, they are more adaptable to the plateau." When Liu Yan saw ran min's ferocious expression, it was still necessary to make it clear: "in the follow-up troops, some troops should use some with caution."

During the nearly ten-year war, whether before or after the founding of the people's Republic of China, Liu Yan's army captured many Hu prisoners. The men belonging to the Jie people were cleaned up with ran min's killing in Bingzhou and Shuozhou, but a large number of Hu prisoners of war were still used as labor. Later, nearly 300000 people of Tuoba Xianbei surrendered, The battle of Yandi also captured nearly 150000 troops.

"I know."

Ran min certainly knew that Liu Yan was reminding others of meaningless consumption, especially for those who belong to Tuoba Xianbei. He was very depressed. Liu Yan treated Tuoba Xianbei differently because of the relationship between Tuoba show, but he didn't know it was not the case at all. Liu Yan was kind to Tuoba Xianbei just because they were independent in Sinicization.

Murong Yan state has disappeared, but Murong people went to Xianbei grassland. Since then, there has been Murong Xianbei without Murong Yan state.

Out of order, attack cities and capture territories are the same thing. After winning the battle, Murong must have been a non military personnel. Lu Tai is doing a distinction between nationalities, not only the old Yan Yan state of Xinluo, but also the registered residence of Gao Gong Li, Baiji, Xinluo and former Fuyu, Quwo, Shen and so on.

After seeing off ran min, Liu Yan returned to Miyagi.

Ji Chang didn't go to see him off. He was waiting for Liu Yan in the political hall with other central ministers.

On the side of Xiang state, the valuables that should be removed and relocated in the palace city are basically not left. They are all taken to Guanzhong by each detachment. There are few places that have not been moved. The political discussion hall is one.

Shi Hu was extremely extravagant when he built the Xiangguo palace city. He straightened up whatever was valuable. That is to say, the main hall for the court meeting had gold bricks on the ground, gold and silver inlaid on the columns, and many carved plates were made.

Gold and silver are not circulating currencies now. Copper and cloth are the main circulating currencies, so they have the title of wealth and silk. In troubled times, the value of copper was the second, cloth was more popular than copper, and the most popular was grain, so that all ethnic groups preferred all kinds of grain and fodder for trading.

Ji Chang mentioned this time about market transactions. He had only one opinion, that is, to resume normal transactions and mainly use copper money as circulating currency.

"The great man restored the five baht money, which is as good as the beginning of his birth." Ji Chang obviously made full preparations. Before entering the topic, he talked about a lot of history, but later he put forward difficulties: "the great man has the method of water pressure, which can make the most copper money with the least labor, but he is short of copper."

It is said that China has a vast land and abundant resources, but its vast territory does not mean that all kinds of resources are rich. It can only be said that there is a large living space.

Chinese ancestors discovered the use of copper. After entering the bronze age, they wantonly explored copper mines. Almost all the copper mines they could find were almost dug up. Later, it entered the iron age. As a result, like the endless mining of copper mine, one discovery is basically digging up one.

In fact, the smelting technology of China has never been the first in the world. Whether it is bronze smelting or iron smelting, it lags behind all Empires at the same time.

By the Qin Empire, the bronze smelting technology in China had reached the peak, not to mention the Greek civilization. Even the civilization in ah San had developed the iron smelting technology.

There is a famous thing in the Han Empire, that is, Liu Cheyou. In view of the fact that the iron weapons of the Han Army had no advantage in fighting against the Huns, it was said that Da Yueshi, who was beaten and fled by the Huns, had obtained good iron smelting technology. He had intended to cooperate with Da Yueshi to target the Huns. The instruction to Zhang Qian was that the alliance could fail, but he must bring back iron smelting technology.

At the beginning of the Han Hungarian war, most of the guys in the hands of the Huns were bronze weapons. It was only when Bolden opened up the western regions that he obtained iron weapons.

The Xiongnu gained the management power of the western regions. They really got too many things from the western regions. Others may be secondary. Enough metal weapons are the key. It must be said that the short weapon in the hands of the Huns at that time was definitely not a machete, but a straight sword.

Where did the western people get their smelting technology? They learned the smelting technology from a San civilization, and even the Dayue people obtained the smelting technology from a San.

Not only the western regions and Da Yueshi, but also the Greek civilization with smelting technology also obtained technology from ah San and improved it. As a result, the Western Han Dynasty obtained smelting technology from Da Yueshi to improve itself. Speaking of, ah San's contribution to this civilization is really not small.

Jichang is now facing a problem. Due to the existence of the system against the sky, the demand for iron ore in Han country is not urgent, but the system really didn't produce copper ore.

The prime minister's office wants to normalize domestic transactions on the premise that there are enough copper mines to make five baht money. It is just that the demand for copper in the Han country can not be met at all.

"After the exploration of Indochina Peninsula, a copper mine with rich reserves was found, and the minister requested to set up a mint there." Ji Chang is talking about the discovery of Laos in later generations: "it is also necessary to open forests and mountains, learn the straight roads of the pre Qin Dynasty, and then set up a special fleet for transportation."

Didn't the gunpowder get out? It can be used not only in war, but also in many places, including the opening of roads.

The straight road in the Qin Empire still exists until the 21st century. Research shows that there are too many secrets in the Qin straight road, one of which is that it is difficult for plants to grow on the road after the construction is completed.

Liu Yan knows the importance of market transactions to the country's internal affairs. He has always bartered and there will be no formal economic system. He also knew that this was not a simple thing. Even in modern times, there was no standardized economic market in China.

To tell the truth, the phenomenon of barter still exists in the people's Republic of China, even as the earth enters the global village. Now the traffic is not smooth and developed, and many places can not be effectively managed. How can we manage the transaction?

Liu Yan didn't pour cold water on Jichang. It's a good thing to do it. Then, the resources on the Indochina Peninsula should be plundered, but the domestic resources can be saved first.

If you want to plunder resources, it's not enough for people to rob. The maximum plunder also needs mature transportation. Liu Yan's eyes are not only staring at the Indochina Peninsula, but also related to the greater interests of the follow-up March to the A3 territory.

[although it is found that the Strait can advance by sea, only sea is not enough.] Liu Yan nodded to Ji Chang and thought: [arresting local savages for traffic construction is conducive to the population elimination plan and making the colony more stable!]
