Chapter 987

If it weren't for fear of internal collapse, Liu Yanzhen had the idea to directly push the world island.

In terms of force alone, if the Han Empire did not rely on the system, it would be able to directly enter Central Asia, but it would only enter Central Asia, and it would be difficult to make further progress due to logistics.

If Liu Yan relies on the system to conquer, it won't be too difficult to reach Europa, but it's not enough to just attack, and it's difficult to stand firm.

It took the Han Empire at least ten years to develop people's livelihood, occupied so many sites and added so many resources. Even if people's lives did not get better one by one, they could not live a precarious life.

The reason why a powerful country collapses is usually not simply broken by external forces. It is the internal problems that arise first and then interfered by external forces. Finally, he made a dilemma at home and abroad, resulting in a collapse.

Throughout history, any country that can be called a powerful country is not destroyed by simple external forces. Only those countries with small countries and few people are easy to be destroyed by simple external forces.

In the history of Zhuxia, the subjugation of the country was caused by internal problems every time from the ancient Pre-Qin to the modern times.

If the internal troubles were not fatal, even in the face of a strong enemy, the Central Plains Dynasty could suffer losses in advance and counterattack later, that is, under the counterattack, it could not destroy the enemy, but also enter the stage of stalemate.

Not only the Central Plains dynasties of the various Xia dynasties, but also many powerful countries, such as the Seleucid Empire and the Parthian Empire.

When the Seleucid Empire and the Parthian Empire entered the stage of subjugation, they lasted at least decades. If they really wanted to shrink, they could even continue to survive for one or two hundred years.

Rome's "survival" stage was even longer. They lost part of the territory of Europe, and Eastern Rome continued to exist for thousands of years.

Liu Yan can imagine that if he goes recklessly, although he can expand wantonly to the greatest extent in his generation, it is absolutely inevitable that he can't survive the second.

There are lessons from the past. What a great man Qin Shihuang was. He did the military annexation of the six countries of the same origin, but because he only achieved the military annexation, he did not conquer ideologically.

The time of unification is too short. People living in the generation of disputes are not dead. Don't they jump out one after another after waiting for the death of the first emperor?

The same root and the same origin are still the same. What the Han people want to conquer is the alien race that has never been connected before. It is impossible to assimilate and integrate them in a short time.

"Who doesn't understand this truth?" Si Hongzhuang and Qian Jiantong just talked about the reason why the expansion of the Han Empire was blocked: "let's not talk about the domestic people's livelihood first, the alien race in the conquered land is a trouble that can't be ignored."

There are not many places to be conquered. The Indochina peninsula where Si Hongzhuang is going to take charge is one, and the A3 continent where Qian Jiantong is going is also one.

In fact, the Indochina Peninsula is fairly good. Although Zhuxia has had little contact with it in a long history, some countries are still branded with the mark of Zhuxia.

The A-San continent is different. Zhuxia's records on the A-San continent are just a few words. Even those countries that claim to be the vassals of the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty do not know that there is such a thing. It is those countries that use the prestige of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty to intimidate their ambitious enemy countries.

"Take your time." Qian Jiantong thought of his "indicators" and did not forget that Huan Wen had a special reminder before he left. He said leisurely, "one million eight hundred thousand a year will be shipped to the mainland, and it will be gone in a few years?"

"..." Si Hongzhuang looked at the sky for a long time without saying a word. God has 1.8 million a year. If he is really so dry, he will despair and resist even if he is afraid of death. He looked at Qian Jiantong and said, "take it easy."

Qian Jiantong is not joking. He is serious.

South of the Yangtze River, a large number of ah San need to change Nanyang monkeys in a short time. The first batch is 200000. Is this a hard target, or does Qian Jiantong need to do it within six months after taking office.

"Although the Great Han Dynasty perished the Gupta Dynasty, aren't there dozens or hundreds of States?" Qian Jiantong felt that the Gupta empire was really a wonderful country. How could there be so many countries among states: "there are many contradictions among those States, right?"

Si Hongzhuang immediately understood. He knew that the first thing Qian Jiantong did after taking office was to promote chaos among the States. The states could not really fight and kill each other. What he needed was to capture each other's population.

"Fund the acquisition first, anyway..." Qian Jiantong grinned and continued: "anyway, they have to vomit as much as they eat."

In fact, there are few countries in hundreds of states in the Gupta empire. When the Zhou royal family was the largest, there were more than 3000 countries. It can even be said that the power of the state of the Zhou royal family was much greater than that of the Gupta Dynasty, that is, it was rare for Qian Jiantong to read less historical books.

There are many countries with similar situations, such as sassanne and Rome. Although they are unified countries, the number of "countries within the state" is still considerable, that is, they change a form, such as aristocratic private ownership or fiefdom.

The Central Plains Dynasty on the Zhuxia side stopped before the founding of Liu Yan. The only one without a "state within a state" was the Qin Empire after the emperor swept through the eight wastelands and six harmonies. Otherwise, the former monarchs and Marquis also had their own fiefs.

It's the current Han Empire. Isn't it because of the reopening of feudalism? Compared with the previous dynasties, Liu Yan was generous to an unlimited extent. When he reached the fifth level, he could go to a San and get a village. The Marquis could also have his own marquis. In a broad sense, I'm afraid there are thousands of "countries within the state" in today's Han Empire.

Not to mention now, as long as human society does not collapse, can it lack the existence of "country within the country"? The name may be different, but it's basically the same.

"Look at the di newspaper. The number of slaves in Han's native land has exceeded 13 million." Si Hongzhuang was a little melancholy: "if we follow the trend, the day when the number of slaves exceeds the people will soon appear."

Qian Jiantong said happily, "isn't it good to exceed? The number of slaves is more, which means that there are more people with titles and more official labor."

Si Hongzhuang didn't want to think that Qian Jiantong was a descendant of Xiongnu. The problem was that Qian Jiantong didn't care about the number of slaves at all, so he had to remember.

"The slaves of Daqin have always been more than their own people. When exaggerating, one Daqin compared 30 slaves." Qian Jiantong didn't pay attention to Si Hongzhuang's face and said to himself, "it's too little for me to say about the slaves of the big man. If all the work is handed over to the slaves, can't you concentrate on training? Then the big man won't be short of soldiers."

Si Hongzhuang looked up again.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, those door lords and aristocratic families, including Haoqiang and quantemo, thought so. It was also the first and only Dynasty in which the number of foreign slaves far exceeded the national population among so many local dynasties in Zhuxia.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, the war led to a sharp decline in the population. Everyone was in urgent need of labor, so they dared to accept regardless of any labor force. If they were strong enough to hold them down, for example, the Romans would hold them down to the stage of waiting for the Huns to drive the Goths into the country.

The problem is that those people in the Western Jin Dynasty are purely brain mutilated goods. They patronize the royal family and kill each other. They haven't done it for ten years. They went south in their clothes.

It is precisely because of the mental handicaps of the Western Jin Dynasty as a warning, on the one hand, the Han people now enjoy the dividends of the labor output of foreign slaves. On the other hand, they are more or less afraid of repeating the mistakes, and are in a very complex state of mind.

"It's a good thing to liberate more people, even if they don't serve as a source of troops." Qian Jiantong thought of all kinds of workshops springing up in the South: "now the people with slaves give their field work to slaves and work for money."

There is another phenomenon that Qian Jiantong did not say. In other places, he did not know that the textile owners on the grassland had begun to use slaves wantonly. At the beginning, they only used slaves for grazing, mainly because those slaves were also good herders. The use of slaves in subsequent processes has been increasing.

To put it bluntly, that is an inevitable phenomenon. Slaves can be used wantonly if they are purchased at one time without paying wages every month.

Then there is the squeezing of slaves. Who should slaves complain about the existence of no human rights?

Facing the free people is different. You should be careful when squeezing, for fear that you will complain if you squeeze hard.

More simply, the use of slaves can minimize the labor cost. It is also a commodity. The difference between the profit of hiring free people and the profit of using slaves is at least three times. However, no owner does not pursue profit. It is conceivable how to choose on the premise that he can choose.

Qian Jiantong didn't say, but Si Hongzhuang mentioned it.

"Zhongshu province is already negotiating a decision." Si Hongzhuang also heard some gossip and didn't guarantee it to be true. He chatted and guessed: "it's said that it's a hard rule. In terms of scale, the lower limit of employing people."

Qian Jiantong doesn't care much about this. His family engaged in animal husbandry. In addition to the slave benefits brought by his title, he basically chose Hun descendants for employment. It is said that those people are skilled, but they know they are taking care of groups with the same roots.

Not only Qian Jiantong's family will do that, but Han people will give priority to employees and people close to them, either clan members or villagers. In fact, related households give priority.

The current relationship households will not idle away with wages or do more excessive things. On the contrary, they will do their best more than outsiders. This is also a real phenomenon that the feelings of relatives (neighbors) have not collapsed. They know the importance of love and understand what benefits it is for them to develop the related people.

"Well..." Qian Jiantong also had some grapevine news, but he still confirmed the true news: "general Hussars has submitted a proposal to menxia province. He proposes to castrate male 1 slaves."

Si Hongzhuang also knew the news. Don't mention whether he likes it or not. The first moment he learned the news was a gushing admiration for ran min.

Menxia province is a deliberative department. Naturally, it is necessary to absorb the opinions of all parties, from the important officials of the country to the people. However, whatever ideas and courage you have, regardless of what suggestions, can be sent to the offices set up in menxia province.

Submitting directly to the provincial government office under the palace gate is a privilege of senior officials of gaojue. It's just one thing to submit, and whether it will be passed is another thing. To say that the privilege is only a lot less audit procedures, and directly enters the semi final stage.

The privileges of the Han Empire were clearly displayed, not hidden rules and secret operations.

According to Liu Yan, that is encouraging those with ability to make more achievements if they want to enjoy privileges.

"I heard that the first time was directly rejected by menxia province?" Qian Jiantong once again knew ran min's ferocity and wondered why ran min didn't consider his name? He continued with a strange expression: "he was rejected twice in a row. The third time, the Hussars general made a direct statement and did not give reasons for the rejection. He wanted to single out all the attendants in the province."

The three servants in menxia province are Cai you, Xie AI and Wang Meng.

Xie AI is estimated to be able to make ten moves under ran min's hands?

What is certain is that Cai you and Wang Meng go side by side, which is what ran min can put down with one punch and one foot.

Therefore, ran Min said that he wanted to single out three, with the confidence of winning, which is much more confident than clamoring for a single selection of all the leaders of Zhongshu province and Zhongshu province.

You should know that, except that monk Jichang and monk Sangyu are not mentioned by the Minister of the Ministry of justice of the Ministry of justice, the force values of Huan Wen and xie'an in the six Shangshu are not low. Yu Yi and LV Yi are much stronger than Cai you and Wang even if they are not comparable to Xie AI. The remaining force values of Fu Shou and Tian Shuo are not worth mentioning.

"The version I heard is a little different from yours." Si Hongzhuang also had a strange expression on his face: "the version I heard was that the general of the Hussars was holding a suspected explosive bag, but it was actually a quilt. None of the three attendants fell, and each family went to ask the reason for the rejection."

"..." Qian Jiantong once again refreshed his impression of Ran min. he could imagine that the three attendants were definitely frightened: "really... Really worthy of being..."

Si Hongzhuang is a military general. He is still very happy that ran min is such a tough and boundless big man in his camp. He is stunned by ran min's actions many times.

"Have you heard that when will the Hussars general leave the country?" Qian Jiantong thought that he was the protector of Tianzhu capital, and there was a Marquis of Ran min in the area of the protector of Tianzhu capital. His legs suddenly softened: "wrong, no one will really stay in his marquis. Did you hear when the Hussars general will visit the Marquis?"

"..." Si Hongzhuang was about to tell Qian Jiantong the news. He learned from Xie AI: "Fourteen princes, including the Hussars general, will visit the Marquis on a different day this year."

“！！！” Qian Jian sat on the deck with his legs soft and his hands supporting the ship's guardrail with suckling strength. He swallowed a mouthful of water and asked in a panic, "do you know the exact date?"

Where can Si Hongzhuang master the information? He doesn't know whether to gloat or sympathize with Qian Jiantong, who is leaning on his upper body on the guardrail.
