Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 409 Jianxin County

Luo Wuji's presentation of the map of the Western Regions triggered a change in Liu Che's plan for the Huns' war. The emperor, who had always been a little eager to do things, decided for the first time that it would take several years to prepare for a war.

This is not a war of annihilation against the Huns, but its significance is no less than a war of annihilation of the country, because cutting off the Western Regions will cut off the Huns' war potential, and even lock the upper limit of the Huns' power.

Because the Huns are like Ah San, they don’t have their own core iron-smelting technology. Once they can’t obtain technology and weapons from Central Asia, they will soon be thrown away by big men with core technology and a complete industrial chain, and then crushed.

Liu Che stared closely at the geographical map of the Western Regions, which marked the topography and general situation of the Western Regions in detail. This was the main reason why he made this plan.

After another glance, Liu Che said: "Marquis Wushuang, although your father has never been an official, but he has done a great job in drawing this map.

He is a great hero who opened up the frontiers of Zhuxia.

I learned a truth from reading, the ministers have made meritorious deeds, the rewards should be rewarded, the praises should be praised, if someone has made great achievements but is not rewarded, who will believe the emperor's promise?

If the big man can really win the Western Regions in the future, I will set up an organization there to manage the Western Regions.

Su Wang said that the most important thing in the country is war and sacrifice. As the prince of Zhuxia, I will build a shrine there for the soldiers who conquered the Western Regions.

Whether it is the people of the great Han, or the people of the Duke of Zhao, the Lingnan Kingdom, or those vassal states in the future, as long as they can make contributions to Zhuxia, I will love you as one, and I will never favor the big man and despise the vassals.

I promise that I will put your father's seat in it and be worshiped by all the people of Xia who go to the Western Regions. This is what I can do. "

Hearing this, Luo Wuji stared at Liu Che with scorching eyes, and developed a good impression of the emperor in front of him.

Beginning with Emperor Xiaohui, every monarch has a dual identity. Liu Che now has a higher sense of identification with Zhu Xiazi than the Han Emperor, because what he wants to do now is to bring the advanced civilization headed by Su Wang Faith , advance to the grasslands, the Western Regions, and south of the Five Ridges, and advance to these places that have never been reached before.

In this process, the Great Han will become extremely powerful, and the prestige of the Great Han Emperor will naturally resound throughout the world.

Luo Wuji bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you will be a great monarch."

While speaking, Gong Sunhong, the imperial historian, walked in from outside the hall.

Since Jia Yi ceased to be prime minister, the position of prime minister has become a point of contention among various forces, not only the princes in the court, but also powerful factions in various places are also secretly working hard to make the leaders of their own factions Become prime minister.

After all, the power of the prime minister is really too great, the real one is under one person, and above ten thousand people, even the No. 1 general in the military is not as high as the prime minister.

Under such an atmosphere, the three prime ministers appointed by Liu Che were caught and kicked off the stage without their butts warming up. Confucian scholars acted as the censor doctor acting as the prime minister, which temporarily suppressed this trend.

After Gongsun Hong entered the hall to salute, he saw everyone in the hall, and then his heart trembled, knowing that it would not be a trivial matter, and as expected, he heard the emperor say just as he sat down: "Qing, since the Great General, Champion Marquis, and Wushuang Marquis swept Henan Since the earth, presumably the ruling and opposition parties have been very excited, but it is not enough to just be excited.

The land in the world is limited. If you don’t occupy it, others will occupy it. Just like the land of Henan, every inch retreated by the Xia, the Hu people will occupy an inch. I think the way to preserve the land of Henan forever is to build cities and counties in Henan, and then To migrate the population, I want to establish three counties in Henan and Moxi, each with a population of 20. Presumably this will completely prevent the Huns from going south. "

Build a county in Henan!

Of course everyone knows why Liu Che did this. Once the county is built in Henan and the population can really migrate there, the most obvious thing is the change of the border. The security of Chang'an will be greatly improved. The Huns will have to cross two lines of defense Only then can they reach the city of Chang'an, which is crucial to the safety of an empire.

The location of the capital usually considers two issues, the first is safety, and the second is the radiation of the sphere of influence.

Guanzhong perfectly satisfies safety, but it is a bit westward, so Luoyang is needed as an auxiliary. The dynasty that established its capital in Chang'an must improve Luoyang's status.

Luoyang is in the middle of the world, but the disadvantage is that the area of ​​plains around Luoyang is smaller than that of Guanzhong.

The land of four fortresses in Guanzhong, for the Central Plains, there are countless dangerous passes if you want to break into Guanzhong. The natural mountains, rivers and rivers make this place as solid as gold. The Qin and Han Dynasties went east from here twice to destroy the princes of Shandong.

However, after the nomads rose to become an empire, the security of Guanzhong became a problem, because the nomads could go directly from the north to Guanzhong. It is not a smooth journey, but compared with the princes of Shandong, it is not difficult.

This was what Liu Che was worried about. What the Han Dynasty was facing was not only the danger from within, but also the more powerful enemy on the grassland.

He was thinking, what should be avoided in the struggle between two huge countries?
Of course, the national center was directly taken over!

The emperor guarding the country sounds tough, but the strategy is simply stupid to the extreme.

The capital is the heart of the empire. The heart is not placed in the chest, but on the forehead, on the fists. This is not the old birthday star eating arsenic, what is it?
Which empire can guarantee that it will always win?
Which battle can not make a mistake?
Putting the capital on the border means that every battle must be won, and that the opponent will not take the capital directly. This was the case in Chang'an before. Now that the Xiongnu who defeated the Henan land was temporarily relieved of the threat to Chang'an, Liu Che is now going to In the north, another Great Wall built by people was built to completely isolate the Huns on the grassland and set the battlefield on the grassland.

But Gongsun Hong objected.

"Your Majesty, what you said is indeed a great cause, but I object.

Building a city or even a county on the grassland will cost a lot of money. I am afraid it will not be lower than the military expenditure of fighting the Huns and building palaces, but the results are not as good as conquering the Huns and building gorgeous palaces.

Countless corvees and resources were confiscated to do this. If the Huns attacked in a large scale, they might be destroyed without any return. This is something I don't understand.

The most important thing is, after the city is built, where do you want to move so many people from?

If the people of the Central Plains were moved there, wouldn't this be crippling the people?
The Li people are not sinners, how can they be treated so cruelly? "

Liu Che was about to get angry when he heard the words, but when he turned his head, he suppressed his anger. Looking at Gongsun Hong's expressionless face again, the anger dissipated immediately.

Gongsun Hong is a virtuous and upright minister and a talented Confucian scholar. It is impossible for him to simply object.

He pointed out the most critical issue in just a few words. The cost of building a city on the grassland must be carefully considered. Although the country is rich, it will cost money to fight the Huns and repair the palace. It is completely on the blank land. , The establishment of a county out of nothing is not whimsical.

The second problem is the migration of people.

Immigrants guarding the border, it is glorious and great.

But in fact, moving people there is not just being a human sandbag?
Facing the brutal and unusual Hulu barbarians of the Huns, not only these people who had just migrated there, but also their descendants, I am afraid that they will continue to bleed.

In the past few years, the Xiongnu invaded Shangjun, Daijun, etc., and killed thousands of people from time to time. Once a county was established in Henan, it was these newly migrated people who were killed.

Besides, going from a rich place like the Central Plains to a place of bitter cold is a distribution!

Not to mention ancient times, even modern living conditions are already very good, and the frontiers have been built into modern cities.

Those who have the ability to try to relocate people from Jiangnan Province to Western Regions, Hetao Province or Liaodong Province, and those who formulate policies will have to die again for eighteen generations.

In this era, it is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that the remnant people abuse the people when they migrate from a place where they live more comfortably to a place where they will die at any time.

But why isn't Liu Che angry?
Because Gong Sunhong said that the people of Li are not sinners and cannot move at will, but how many sinners are there in this world?
Those who pioneered Lingnan were the descendants of those who were exiled. Now it is just one more place of exile. The problem now is how to find at least 20 people to exile in a short period of time.

There are not so many people in the big man's prison, and this is the problem to be solved.

Gong Sunhong objected on the surface, but in fact he just raised a problem. As long as the problem is solved, the city can be built.

After Liu Che paced a few times, he said in a deep voice: "Counties must be built, and all government offices and offices must prepare for the establishment of counties. This is a major matter related to the country. No matter what difficulties, I will overcome them."

Since the emperor made his statement, Gongsun Hong naturally had nothing to do, "Your Majesty, are you going to issue an imperial edict now? You can bring it directly to the prime minister's residence."

"Dong Ahou is here, and it happens to be handed over to Dong Ahou to draw up the decree, so I will use the seal."

Holding the pen in his hand, Luo Jing felt a little reminiscent. When Emperor Xiaowen was around, he drafted most of the imperial court's imperial edicts. Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, he would hold the pen again.

Thoughts were rolling in his heart, but the pen in his hand didn't stop, like a dragon and a snake dancing, writing down smoothly, without even needing to think, he was too familiar with this set.

When the last stroke was finished, Gong Sunhong bowed heavily to Luo Jing, and then slowly took down the imperial decree and handed it to Liu Che. go outside.

"Doctor Gongsun, once this imperial decree is issued, the whole man may not be at peace."

Gongsun Hong heard the words and said with emotion: "Yes, Jianjun is not just Jianjun."

The big man in this world is different from the previous life. Jianjun is not just an extra official of two thousand shi!
