It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 175 All Collected From the Great Family

Judging from the eyes of Shi Hai and Xue Jia, maybe it was really because of Hu Ji.

The orchids who left one after another, all of them had creamy skin, like jade carvings.

The facial features are exquisite and three-dimensional, the eyebrows are slightly raised like willow leaves, the bridge of the nose is straight, the lips are red and the teeth are white.

The figure is even more graceful and exquisite, under the gauze skirt, the jade legs are looming, and the steps flutter gently, as if walking on the clouds.

In fact, Han women all have these.

Orchids are different in that they are exotic, hot and unrestrained.

How dare you!

Even when he exited the hall, he dared to wink and hook Wu Wen.

Liu Ke felt itchy when he saw it.

Orchids were recruited from aristocratic families who confiscated their homes.

He had never experienced it before.

As for the things in the gift box, they were also collected from aristocratic families.

The imperial court really didn't have these rare items.

Copying the house is indeed the fastest way to get money.

Hearing the emperor's question, all the ministers expressed their opinions.

Generals like Di Han and Lian Hansheng said:
"The purpose of managing the Western Regions is naturally to expand the influence of the imperial court."

Seeing that Hu Ji had completely retreated, Xue Jia couldn't see her even if she wanted to see through her eyes, so she coughed twice and said seriously:
"Be an ally with the countries of the Western Regions, and advance and retreat together, so as to attack the Xiongnu."

"Far and near attack."

Xiao Yuan often picked up the raisins in the gift box, twisted them in his hands, and thought:
"Is it for people's livelihood?"

"With the introduction of these Western Region crops, Dahan has more crops that can adapt to various terrains and climates."

"The food output has increased a lot, and the people have become richer."

"This is a way of transmission. Dahan's silk, papermaking, millet, and sorghum have spread."

"Planting techniques such as murals, grapes, fine wine, radishes, alfalfa, and watermelon from the Western Regions have spread in."

"Even the chaos of war can't stop the spread."

hiss.
Other civil and military affairs are good, but Xiao Yuanchang's pattern shocked Liu Ke quite a bit.

It is actually viewed from the perspective of the country as a whole.

Liu Ke nodded slightly and said:

"Sirius."

"This is the name of the great Han from the countries of the Western Regions, and even the western empires."

"It means 'silk'."

"I simply called the road leading to the Western Regions the Silk Road."

The ministers had no objection.

We all know that when the emperor was among the people, he studied heaven and man.

It is quite normal to be proficient in Donghu language and Nanyue language, and to know a little bit of Western Region language.

And you are the emperor, whatever you say is what you say.

"The development of the Silk Road is for the livelihood of the people, for the influence of the imperial court, and for the sake of long-distance friendship and short-term attack."

"But why is it called "Seres"? Why is it called "Silk Road"?"

"silk."

"money."

Liu Ke called to turn into rain, and turned into rain, and directly poured boxes of gold and silver on the ground.

It was golden and bright.

It makes people dizzy.

It was also collected from the family of the aristocratic family.

There was only a sound of bells.

Such a luxurious Gan Wenjin fainted on the spot.

This scene is too exciting.

The only Yue Shaoqian who can resist the money offensive is not here.

As a result, the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the hall are shining.

It is full of copper smell, but this smell is really pleasing.

"Xiao Qing, can you tell me how much food has been spent on the South and North wars since I became the throne?"

Xiao Yuanchang quickly recovered from the temptation of gold and silver.

Then, like a few treasures, a long list of numbers was listed.

How much is required for conscription, how much is required for dispatching troops, how much is required for pre-war rewards, and how much is required for post-war rewards.

There are also pensions, food and fodder supply, and civil servant recruitment.
Money is everywhere.

How can this be a war?

This is burning money!

All the civil and military officials clicked their tongues.

If it weren't for several batches of aristocratic families successively, they would rob Yizhou and Jiaozhou of hoarding for many years and turn them into their own.

It is estimated that the national treasury has already collapsed.

If the national treasury collapses, the rewards will not be issued. Under a series of chain reactions, the front line will inevitably be defeated.

At that time, the Donghu people will not even be used to attack, and the big man will bring about the subjugation of the country by himself.

"I know that many of you want to continue the Northern Expedition after seeing successive victories."

"But years of fighting will only lead to the poverty of the people and the country."

After hearing this, all civil and military personnel understood what the emperor meant.

The emperor wanted to recuperate.

Most civil servants have a clear heart.

Although the country is big, belligerent must perish.

Even in the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, it was only because of the rule of Wenjing that the family property accumulated by two generations of sages was able to support the years of war.

But even so, Emperor Xiaowu finally made the people impoverished, the country impoverished, and the people impoverished.

You have to promulgate an edict of guilt.

What's more, the current big man is far from being as powerful as when he was at his peak.

But it's useless to understand.

How to appease the soldiers below?
Moreover, the record of the emperor's personal conquest is really terrifying.

Just never lost.

It makes people feel that even if they fight all the way back to Chang'an, it will be fine.

Wu Fu has no foresight, even if he has, he will not think too much.

After all, only when there is a war can military merit be earned.

What's more, they are all big victories, who would refuse meritorious service?

Gan Wen, who woke up slowly, couldn't help but bowed his hands to the emperor above him, but his eyes were fixed on the gold and silver on the ground, and he didn't move his nest:
"Your Majesty, I am a big man with a tough folk style. Now that we have won consecutive victories, the soldiers are well-trained and their morale is high."

"If they recuperate at this time, they may lose their edge and lose their fighting spirit."

"The Eight Divisions of Donghu are too busy to take care of themselves now, and they should be able to make the Northern Expedition, step the enemy into the soil, and restore the Han Dynasty to the old capital!"

The same is true for all the generals.

Without fighting, literati can still farm and develop, in exchange for political achievements.

But these warriors have nothing left.

Is it by training?
Even if they are willing to cultivate their lives and rest, the big soldiers below are not willing!
Even though they fought and won consecutive victories, they stopped fighting. Isn't it a blow to morale!

Liu Ke stretched out his hand and pressed it, signaling the officials to be quiet first.

Afterwards, Hua Chengyu continued to bring the imperial guards and brought the boxes.

Liu Ke opened the box himself and took out a medal from inside:
"Gan Wenjin led the navy to conquer Jiaozhou and Gaozhou for his meritorious service, and he was awarded the first-class Overlord Medal."

He hung a boxy one with a chessboard engraved on the back and a building medal on the front, and hung it on Gan Wenjin's body.

Gan Wenjin touched it subconsciously, resisting the desire to take a bite, and then burst into ecstasy.

Made of gold!

This kind of exquisite gadget is his favorite!
Liu Ke took out another medal.

There are many medals, and the gold, silver and copper used to make the medals are all collected from aristocratic families.

If you don't search, you don't know. If you search the bottom of the sky, you will find out that the aristocratic family is really rich.

Di Han was looking forward to it, this kind of special award, you don't need to look at it to know, it represents military exploits and honor.

He, a defeated general who was born as a prisoner, needs these things to prove himself!

However, Liu Ke hung up on himself.

Like Gan Wenjin, the first-class Overseas Medal.

"."

The ministers were taken aback.

Liu Ke continued to take out the medal, but did not hang it on his body this time:
"Di Han has a good command of the army, and he has made great achievements in killing the enemy. He will be awarded a first-class battle medal."

Just as Di Han let go of his anger, he rushed up again, and his whole body was extremely excited.

He didn't dare to let the emperor put it on for himself, and reached out to take it.

Liu Ke directly patted his hand aside, and hung it up with his own hands.

Then I patted it and was very satisfied.

Suddenly he noticed that Di Han was using his left hand.

"General Di, your right hand."

Di Han showed a forced smile:
"A few days ago, I accidentally got shot by Liu Ya, and the injury hasn't healed yet."

Liu Ke was puzzled and said:
"The Battle of Gaozhou is over, where did Ruya come from?"

Di Han smiled awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable all over:

"When performing martial arts in the army, the sword has no eyes, and there will always be accidental injuries."

Okay, it looks like he was shot by a friendly arrow.

Liu Ke held an identical medal in his hand, and hung it on himself again.

"Zhao Ning."

"Where's Zhao Ning??"

No one in the hall responded.

Fu Xuance hurried out of the queue and explained to his junior brother:

"Your Majesty, Zhao Ning was separated from the army when he returned to the division."

"Also ask Your Majesty to punish you severely!"

Liu Ke was speechless.

It is impossible for Zhao Ning to appear if it is not a critical moment.

"Delaying the opportunity of the war should indeed be severely punished."

"The medal will not be given to him."

Liu Ke snorted softly, and directly hung two new medals on himself.

He continued to award honors.

The military generals basically received medals, like Yue Shaoqian, Li Jingji, etc., and the soldiers who were still in Gaozhou were sent by special personnel on horseback.

A little special is Han Qi.

Although this guy is a little sober, he is quite capable of fighting and leading troops.

But still in a half-mad, half-awake zone.

Originally, he had made meritorious service and wanted to enter the court to be rewarded.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the hall, he would foam at the mouth and his whole body would twitch.

Only when he was sent back to the barracks to rest did he get better.

He can only be allowed to lead the army. Before he is fully awake, he basically bid farewell to entering the DPRK and participating in politics.

"However, it's good. When you are awake, you can manage the government at 36, and you don't have to make enemies in the court."

"One for Leilan and one for me."

"One for Barnihan and one for me."

Soon Liu Ke awarded the medals of the generals.

He is also full of clothes on himself.

But not enough.

Not only the military generals who rushed to kill on the front line, but also some civil servants who made great contributions to the logistics also gained something.

But even Xiao Yuanchang only got a second-class medal.

"This one."

Liu Ke took out the last, golden medal.

It is bigger than the previous medals.

"This is a medal for all Han people."

"Gaozhou's great victory was pushed out by ordinary people using small carts!"

He hung it on his chest without hesitation.

After all, you can't let the common people come to pick them up one by one, right?
Simply let the emperor take over.

"Your Majesty Shengming!!"

All the officials worshiped each other.

For some reason, around the medal, I felt a little more strength in my heart.

Especially inspiring.

So much so that Leshun, a new general who entered the dynasty, looked enviously at him.

It's just that the emperor has a lot of medals hanging on his body, and his every move makes people look scared.

I'm afraid that when the dragon robe falls to the ground, it will cause a landslide.

But the emperor really deserves so many medals.

"As for the non-commissioned officers, there are other rewards."

Liu Ke made another batch of rewards.

The soldiers are eager to fight, there is no way to do it, they can only take it step by step.

First use honors to appease.

"In addition, the border soldiers in Gaozhou and Qiongzhou immediately set up military camps."

Secondly, it is to let the soldiers have something to do.

The barracks are boring, and the soldiers are very angry. If they don't do something, it is easy to make trouble.

Tuntian is good.

A group of civil and military personnel also responded repeatedly.

Tuntian is a policy promulgated by Emperor Xiaowen. Now that he wants to cultivate his health and rest for a while, he must pay tribute to his ancestors.

As for where Tian came from.
After copying so many houses, the imperial court has no shortage of land.

The officials already knew the emperor's mind.

Starting from the army, all of them participated in production and cultivated their health.

The fastest way to restore vitality and replenish inventory can continue the Northern Expedition.

The three armies went ahead without using food and grass.

"What about the sailor?"

Gan Wenjin clutched the medal on his chest, for fear of being snatched away:

"Should the sailors be allowed to disembark and farm in the fields?"

It is not impossible.

After all, when the pirates under his command were not plundering the caravan, they were farming on Luoji Island.

Also points to some farming skills.

Liu Ke said with a smile:

"This is going to go back to what I said earlier, the Silk Road."

"Silk, porcelain, these are not too expensive among my big man."

"But it can generate hundreds of times of value through the Silk Road."

"A piece of silk, a piece of porcelain, can be exchanged for spices and rare treasures far exceeding their price."

Xiao Yuanchang frowned and said:
"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to reopen the Silk Road?"

"Thinking of the time when Emperor Xiaowu conquered the East and the West, the South and the North fought. The Silk Road has indeed earned a lot of gold and silver for the treasury and eased financial pressure."

The ministers pondered the possibility.

If you can really make a lot of money, it's not impossible.

Just the starting point of the Silk Road, in Chang'an.

If you want to use the Silk Road to carry out trade in the Western Regions, you have to let the caravan start from Chang'an first.

But the northernmost part of the Han Dynasty only occupied Gaozhou, which was still far away from Chang'an.

Along the way are under the rule of Donghu people.

Although Donghu Babu and Dahan are in a tacit truce for the time being.

But the big man must not take the initiative to show kindness to Donghu.

Even if you borrow a way, it won't work.

Otherwise, Jia Wuji wouldn't bother, and would only use the strategy of sealing the king and disrupting the country after conspiring against him.

The big man cannot have the slightest relationship with the Donghu people.

Even Napuliu Rama, in fact, has not been put on the surface.

"Your Majesty, this matter is somewhat difficult."

After such a court discussion, all the ministers saw the benefits of the Silk Road.

But this road is not going to work now!

It is even easy for the soldiers to give up their cultivation and rest, and to regain their homeland more eagerly.

Only by conquering Chang'an can we walk the Silk Road!

Liu Keyi guides the recipe:
"The Silk Road on land will not work, so why not take the Silk Road on the sea?"

"On the Silk Road, men do not farm and women do not weave, but they can bring wealth to the country."

"The reason is because of trade, buying and selling."

"Business in the Western Regions is business."

"Business in Nanyang is still business."

"What can be earned in the Western Regions, the same can be earned in Southeast Asia."

This is Liu Ke's purpose, to open the sea, go to sea trade, and trade with countries in Southeast Asia.

Although what is the situation in Nanyang, he is not very clear.

But geography is here, just like Cochin, you can't be poor.

And he also has a destiny of [Free Trade].

It would be a waste not to go to Nanyang for fun.

If trade can really be used to control the economic lifelines of the Southeast Asian countries, there will be places for raw material production.

Besides, the capital of Dahan is now in Qiongzhou, which is very close to Nanyang, so such a good opportunity must not be let go.

If the capital is moved to Chang'an in the future, the control over the south may not be as strong.

"Sea? Going south?"

This is something that none of the ministers thought about.

Even for aristocratic families, the so-called sea trade is just taking advantage of the convenience of the waterways in the South China Sea and East China Sea to carry out coastal trade.

The sea is very stormy, and no one knows whether they can return safely when they go far away, so there is no need to take this risk.

The ministers discussed for a while.

Xiao Yuanchang noticed in his heart:
"Your Majesty, if you want to go to Nanyang, the imperial court must organize a caravan."

"But commerce is all about selling at low prices and high prices, hoarding goods and speculating."

"It's okay for the court to collect taxes for private business, but if the court comes forward."

Business is the end business.

Unlike the time of Emperor Xiaowu, even if the Silk Road was opened, it was only part of the court's tax aid.

If the current big man wants to carry out the Maritime Silk Road, it will inevitably consume a lot of manpower and material resources. If we pay more attention, it may become a major tax.

The impact is always a bit bad. You don't know how to plow the land, so you just do business?
After all, since the time of Emperor Gao, it has been stipulated that merchants are not allowed to wear silk clothes, ride cars, or buy land.

It is also necessary to pay twice as much as the slaves.

By the time of Emperor Xiaowu, the relegation system of the Qin Dynasty was restored, and merchants with city registration and their descendants were included in the requisition objects.

But now that the emperor is so fancy about business, it is really a bit rebellious.

Xue Jia also coughed twice, remonstrating:
"Your Majesty, agriculture should still be the foundation of health and wellness."

"Going to Nanyang along the Maritime Silk Road, the wind and waves are raging, and the harvest can be a few percent. Whether it can be like the Silk Road in the Western Regions is another matter."

"Even if you can make some profits, it's nothing more than some rare treasures."

"In troubled times, food and fodder are the most important thing. Even a thousand pieces of gold can't be exchanged for a mouthful of rice!"

Probably because the sentence was too long, Xue Jia couldn't breathe for a while, and coughed again and again.

The ministers around him couldn't help but stay away from him for several steps.

When Liu Ke heard it, he also felt that it made sense.

On a whim, if you want to take the Maritime Silk Road, one is that the imperial court needs to cultivate and manage.

The second is the destiny of [Free Trade], and I want to use it.

This is just his personal idea, and I don't know if it can be achieved.

The opinions of the ministers have indeed raised shortcomings.

The imperial court vigorously develops commerce, but its influence on the people is second.

After all, if you can really make a lot of money, you can just get foreigners to farm the land.

Dahan is not without the soil of the plantation economy.

Unofficial history once said that the origin of the word "Jiaozhi" was because the barbarians were asked to farm the land to prevent escape, so they cut off one of their toes first.

However, there are indeed risks at sea.

Liu Ke is also not quite sure whether ocean-going trade can be carried out smoothly with the current level of navigation.

He subconsciously opened the destiny bar and searched.

After all, I am a hacker, and if there is a problem, it is best to solve it by hacking.

Looking at it, a ghost came to my heart.

"You can give it a try."

Thinking about it, Liu Ke became a little excited and eager to try:
"Your Excellency said so."

"I was a little negligent."

"Maritime trade is quite risky. If the risks cannot be dealt with, the Maritime Silk Road will be of no benefit."

"In that case, let's see if the caravan can withstand the risk."

"It happened that General Lian was at sea and intercepted a large number of Puliuru merchant ships."

"Just use these merchant ships to try."

The voice just fell.

Liu Ke felt a sharp pain between his brows.

[Helping the world and calming the people]'s predictive natural disaster is automatically activated.

"Siam, Luzon?"

Liu Ke felt that the two places were affected by the disaster. The exact time is not clear, but the types of disasters are all earthquakes.

"I just said to rest and recuperate, it's not easy to use troops now"

"Let someone repair a letter and send it as a warning."
