Dajin royal family

Chapter 642 Zhaohuang Era ([-])

In June of the ninth year of Emperor Zhaohuang, Tubo and Tuyuhun were completely destroyed under the iron hoof of the empire. More than ten years later, the empire not only re-opened the ancient Silk Road, but also regained control of the counties in the Western Regions. The territory, the territory increased suddenly.

It is a little pity that the territory of Tubo is not suitable for farming. Even Jiang Chengxiao has no choice but to sigh in the face of the permafrost in the plateau.

However, the good news is that Tubo's territory can be used to raise livestock, especially the three categories of Tibetan antelope, plateau horses, and cattle, which are all strategic items for the Jin Dynasty.

Under the rule of Tatzen Gampo, the slaves of Tubo became the slaves of the imperial emperor. Under the oppression of the family and the empire, they raised livestock and sent a large number of consumption cattle and plateau horses to the empire in the Central Plains.

The Tubo area was divided into four counties, and the Tuyuhun area was divided into three counties.

In July of the ninth year of Emperor Zhaohuang, the Tubo king Tatsanganbu was arrested and captured by Wei Zhongxuan. He was sent to Zhongdu together with the Tubo royal ministers, where they would be judged by the empire.

Looking at Luoyang, the central capital, where the city walls slowly appeared from afar, Jiang Shirt licked his dry lips, with nostalgia in his eyes.

He used the pseudonym Bai Shirt in the army. Two years of military experience made him mature a lot, and he also made a lot of military exploits.

"Third brother."

Jiang Heng came on horseback, followed by several young men.

"Brother." Jiang Shirt cupped his fists, glanced at the young men behind Jiang Heng, and smiled.

"Third brother, you have made great achievements this time, and father will definitely reward you generously."

"Brother said and laughed, it's all for the country."

Jiang Heng nodded, and the two brothers walked towards Zhongdu in harmony.

Tubo and Tuyuhun perished, and their royal families were all beheaded by Jiang Chengxiao, and their heads were enshrined in the Taimiao.

This is just the first spoils of war, and more heads will be placed in the Ancestral Temple in the future.

The destruction of Tubo and Tuyuhun most shocked the 36 countries in the Western Regions. They never thought that Tubo and Tuyuhun would be wiped out within two years after just touching the tiger's whiskers!
All the royal families died, and thousands of people became slaves.

In the first month of the tenth year of Emperor Zhaohuang, the successors of 36 countries in the Western Regions arrived in Zhongdu successively, paid tribute to the Jin Dynasty, and expressed their willingness to regard the Jin Dynasty as the suzerain state and worship it every year.

The emperor readily agreed, and at the same time asked the envoys of the 36 countries to sign the trade treaty and the "Jin people's criminal jurisdiction", forcing the 36 countries to open their doors to the Jin Dynasty, so that various special products of the Jin family can be sold in the 36 countries without paying taxes. No matter what crimes Jin people committed in the 36 countries, they could only be dealt with by the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Faced with such a treaty, although the envoys of the 36 countries knew that Dajin was "deceiving too much", they were a little scared when they thought of the fate of Tuyuhun and Tubo.

The current Tubo people and Tuyuhun people have become shepherds and serfs of the Jin Dynasty, and life is worse than death.

In desperation, 36 countries signed the treaty one after another.

At this point, the aristocratic families will further strengthen their plunder of the Western Regions.

It is naturally impossible for a treaty to bind all countries in the Western Regions, but the imperial army will use knives and swords to make them abide by it.

The aristocratic families who received slave bonuses have fallen into madness. They never knew that wars could "make money" like this.

Taking the Pei family as an example, the Pei family rented a pasture rich in water and grass from the empire at a great price in the former Tubo area, and bought Tubo slaves, and let those herders raise a large number of cows. After they matured, some of them It has become the best-selling beef in China, and some of it has become the farm cattle of Hetao Manor.

The plateau cows are strong and powerful. With the second-generation plow transformed by the Ministry of Industry of the Empire, the production efficiency has been greatly improved and the death probability of serfs has been reduced.

Yes, from shepherd slaves to cattle hogs to manor serfs, they were all slaves, and they were all slaves purchased by the Pei family from the empire.

These slaves only need to be fed. If they are sick, they can be cured.

The emperor of the empire ordered that in order to prevent the emergence of the plague, all serf corpses must be burned. Once a family that discarded the corpse at will was found, it was immediately restricted from buying slaves and leasing land.

After consideration, Jiang Chengxiao felt that it was still not possible to directly hand over the land to the family, so he took all the land outside the mainland into 'state-owned', and then leased it to the family by way of lease. The lease period is once every ten years.

In order to prevent the aristocratic family from doing things secretly, every time the ten-year land lease expires, it is not allowed to renew, and they must go to other places to continue to lease the land.

Ten years is enough for the family to attract money.

The Pei family makes a lot of money because of consumption of cattle. The domestic demand for meat is huge, and the empire encourages childbirth. Children need beef to grow and grow. Not only restaurants reserve Pei's consumption of cattle, but the lives of ordinary people are getting better and better. I also like to buy beef in the future.

A small number of people need to buy cattle-consuming farmland!

The nobles in Guanzhong took their eyes on the 'sheep' and 'horse', and followed Pei's way, and took another way to make money.

The other major aristocratic families are similar, they are all crazily squeezing those 'barbarians'.

Of course, the well diggers were not forgotten when drinking water. While absorbing money, the aristocratic families paid a large amount of taxes to the empire every year, consuming cattle, war horses, sheep and other materials.

In the 12th year of Emperor Zhaohuang, the empire opened up a large number of arable fields with serfs in the Hetao area, some Western Regions, and Mobei in Liaodong. In the words of the aristocratic family, what is produced here is not grain, but gold!

The wind in the Hetao area blows not sand, but the ashes of tens of thousands of serfs.

The ultimate crime gave birth to the ultimate prosperity.

With the support of the aristocratic family, the empire's army expanded wildly outwards, conquered countless grassland tribes, and looted millions of slaves.

In the 13th year of Emperor Zhaohuang, the population of all parts of the country increased sharply. The emperor ordered that the first batch of immigrants officially go to the Hetao area and the Mobei area in Eastern Liaodong.

Although the Goguryeo area was conquered earlier, it has many mountains and is not suitable for large-scale cultivation, and there are constant local rebellions, so it will not be considered for the time being.

Yes, where there is oppression, there will naturally be resistance. Countless serfs and shepherds stood up to resist the exploitation of the aristocratic families, but under the sword of the empire, there is only endless blood flowing.

Repression, repression and massacres everywhere.

Countless times of suppression have finally turned into submission and numbness, as well as servile flattery.

Compared with the Tubo people, Tuyuhun people, and even the grassland people, the Goguryeo people have a lot of backbone. They have been resisting and never stopped.

However, the end of their resistance is that Jiang Chengxiao specifically issued a death order for the Goguryeo area. In the future, graduates of the five major military academies must go to Goguryeo and lead the army to kill 1000 people before they can graduate.

It was extremely bloody, and under the magnificent palace of the empire, there were millions of slaves wailing.

The Confucian scholars in the imperial court were full of aversion to the bloody conquest of the empire at first, but when the golden little gold, delicious and tender beef, mutton, and other meat products appeared on the table at low prices.

Everything turned into an act of justice!

When the empire used these capitals to build elementary school palaces, middle school palaces, and university palaces all over the country, the common people became enthusiastic and had children one after another, and let the children join the army to serve the country and fight abroad.

The soldiers of the empire, who fought abroad and gained military exploits, can acquire land outside the homeland!
According to the "Book of Jin", for thousands of years, this is the first time that the common people do not have to serve corvee, and the common people enjoy the education of the empire for the first time. There are too many firsts, which make the empire full of foreign affairs. The passion for war.

On this carriage called 'colonial', the families waved their flags and clamored, contributed money and efforts, and the common people took advantage of the rear. The rulers of the empire used knives and swords to plunder slaves, built roads everywhere, and built magnificent palaces. .

No one jumped out to accuse the emperor of laboring people and wasting money, because slaves are not "human beings", and "barbarians" are not human beings.

At the end of the 12th year of Emperor Zhaohuang, the Turkic people who had been forced by the iron hooves of the empire to flee to the ice field surrendered to the empire in an all-round way, and the emperor was called the "Holy Khan".

In the Western Regions, due to the conquest of the empire's swords, the 36 countries honored the emperor as the "Son of Heaven". The Shu brocade, silk, food, and various goods of the empire filled the 36 countries and corrupted the 36 royal families.

The territory of the empire has expanded unprecedentedly, and the wealth of the empire is growing exponentially every year.

At the same time, it is impossible to stop the pace of imperial conquest, because the aristocratic families and emerging nobles need more slaves to make money for them.

Behind all of this, the man who controlled the empire gathered a large amount of wealth in the central capital.

The imperial city of Zhongdu expanded unprecedentedly, royal libraries were built everywhere, the knowledge of various families collided in the university palace, practical technology continued to innovate, and the sword of the empire became sharper and sharper.

As for getting out of control?

This Jiang Chengxiao has never been worried, because in terms of the current pace of conquest by the empire, it is only a corner of the world. He has already popularized the concept of "body poison" to the aristocratic family and nobles, and even the farther end.

The empire has long dispatched vanguards to the rich and oily Shendu, and has achieved preliminary results. In the future, a large number of families will support the empire in conquering Shendu and plundering slaves.
