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

Chapter 179 Open the door, check the ecology
"Let's name it Hukun, and the bigger one is called Zuotoukun."

When Liu Ke saw the killer whale playing with the soldiers on the shore, he directly decided on the name.

In the eyes of others, it is undoubtedly auspicious. There is no need to change a famous legendary creature like Kun to another name.

Just sort it out a little bit.

The destiny of [Ecological Investigation] not only gave Liu Ke some experience in ecological research.

Basically, as long as you walk around a certain area for a while, and make a good investigation, you can sort out the ecology of the animals and plants in the area.

If they were in Jiaozhi, they would have this destiny, so they probably wouldn't need to taste herbs.

During the few months when Liu Ke stayed in Zhibigang, he drove around in a donkey-headed boat, doing ecological surveys.

I basically searched the surrounding sea area, and made a chart and an ecological atlas by the way.

"Tiger Kun? Zodiac Kun??"

Shen Guang always felt that Emperor Han was connoting himself.

The ancestors of the Puliuru tribe belonged to the Rouran tribe.

At that time, Emperor Han thought that the people of the Rouran tribe had poor brains, so he mocked them as bugs who couldn't think.

And ordered the soldiers and civilians across the country to insult Rouran and renamed it "Creep".

As time went by, "Zhuzhu" gradually became Ruru.

Then there was Pu Liuru.

Tiger, that is, a big bug.

It is clearly implying the General Liuru Department!
"This Hu Kun is quite close to the soldiers."

Fu Xuance was at the side, glanced at Shen Guang, and said:
"This tiger kun led the soldiers to hunt and kill the kun."

"It's not easy to deal with if you don't drag two humphead kuns back at once. This time, you can catch two kuns when you go out to sea!"

Shen Guang was stunned again.

Unexpectedly, this Hukun was really like the General Liuru Department.

Even acted as an inner ghost? !

Can.
Seeing this Hukun, the little life is really good.

There is food and drink, and there are people to play with.

If anyone bullies it, it can call the Han army to beat people.

Isn't this much better than the intrigue among the eight tribes of Donghu, who are always frightened all the time? ?
"Cough-cough-"

Fu Xuance coughed lightly, walked around the fish corpse, and said:
"This head kun tastes good, and it's a guest from afar. Why don't General Shen share the food with us?"

"No no no."

Shen Guang cupped his hands and shook his head hastily:
"I dare not, dare not!"

How can he still be a guest, he is the courtier of the big man, he is Hu Kun!

"Too polite."

When Liu Ke still needed Shen Guang, he was polite and asked Fu Xuance to cook the fish.

He himself cut some kun kun, fat with grease.

Put the fat meat on the iron pan, heat it up and boil the oil.

Liu Ke didn't know too many ways to refine oil, so he could only use this relatively primitive method of refining oil.

"The emperor of Song Dynasty is actually not so useless."

"Now that I have to use it, I feel a little nostalgic."

"Song Huizong's oil refining destiny must work well."

As for the kun meat, it was sold on the spot.

Liu Ke didn't care, this was the trophy of the sailors, and the price was set by themselves.

You don't need to yell, it's already extremely tight.

Ordinary people, just buy a little and try something new.

The big family had to come from a wealthy family who smelled He Kun's scent.

This group of aristocratic families who are so luxurious and love to compare, really want to taste this Kun meat.

Talk about buying a car directly.

He Kun bought a lot in the name of the He family.

Fish in coastal ports are already cheap.

Plus the gimmick of Kun meat.

It is always profitable to change hands elsewhere.

All of a sudden, besides the melon-eating crowd watching, there were actually quite a few cars driving at the port.

People are like cars and horses are like dragons.

Not just meat.

He Kun also acquired Kunxue.

Can there be any difference in the things on Kun's body?
Even if it's useless, as long as it can nourish yin and nourish yang, it won't worry about selling.

On Liu Ke's side, Kun oil was also burned up.

After the fat was heated, cooled and solidified, nearly [-] catties of oil were produced.

"The damage is less than the previous one, and the soldiers are all proficient."

In this case, there will be a reserve of nearly 20 Jinkun oil.

"Fu Aiqing, let He Qing see this oil."

Fu Xuance cupped his hands, took a few spoonfuls of oil, plugged in a wick and lit it.

He Kun was taken aback.

I thought that the things in Fu Xuance's hands were all for eating.

He looked at the white and greasy kun oil, and even felt a little greedy.

Unexpectedly, it can be used directly as a candle?

I saw the wick in Fu Xuance's hand ignited, emitting bright light.

It can be seen even in broad daylight.

It was actually much brighter than ordinary candles.

"There is still a faint fragrance."

Fu Xuance snapped and broke the neck of a roasted chicken.

It's fair for Geng Sanji to study the new ship, and they use their bodies to study the new recipes.

"Let it light first, let's eat and have a few drinks."

There are chickens and fish, even with He Kun's wealth, it is a rare gluttonous feast.

Shen Guang was even more greedy.

There are not only kun meat to eat, but even chicken!
You know, now the entire Puliuru department is up and down, and the color changes when they hear the chicken.

Praliu Rama himself even promulgated the ban on chickens.

It can only be supported and offered, and the tribe has subsidies.

But not kill.

Not to mention the folks, even the nobles in this department would find it difficult to eat some chicken.

After eating for a while, He Kun wiped his mouth.

Turning his head suddenly, he could see that the kun oil was still burning.

"Kun oil has been lighted for so long, and there is almost no loss?!"

You know, ordinary candles don't last long.

For better quality, it only takes an hour or two, for inferior quality, it disappears in half an hour.

And for ordinary people, they can't afford candles at all.

In his early years, Kuang Heng even had to dig a wall to steal light to study hard.

Although it is quite fake, it is enough to show the preciousness of the candle.

"Send some of these candles to Chao Zhongwen Wu, so that they can handle their official duties at night."

Liu Ke paused, then looked at He Kun:

"What do you think of this Kun Candle?"

He Kun's eyebrows were beaming for a while, and the fat all over his body was shaking. He reckoned that if he was lit, it would burn for a long time:
"This is a treasure!"

"Kun Candles are resistant to burning and have a strange fragrance. One reptile can make nearly a million Kun Candles!"

"If it is used for trading, is it a rare commodity to live in?"

"Extraordinary goods. Habitable?!"

He Kun was shocked.

The emperor is willing to sell such treasures?
He immediately cupped his hands and said:
"I'm afraid the supply is in short supply!"

This is not kun meat, kun skin, etc., there can be substitutes.

Candles for night lighting.

It is very important to scholars, and with the quality of Kunzhu, there is almost no substitute.

Liu Ke put a self-made kun candle in He Kun's hands, saying:
"The first stop of the Maritime Silk Road is Luzon."

"He Qing, discuss with the nobles of the family and the navy."

"Let's see how to sell this candle to Luzon, and what should the soldiers do to escort the merchant ship."

"This"

He Kun was startled, only to feel that the candle in his hand weighed more than a thousand catties.

"Your Majesty allows the noble family to go to sea to do business, and even use the Han Navy to escort them?"

It's nothing to go to sea to do business. If it is really profitable, they can still engage in smuggling even if the imperial court expressly prohibits it.

But if the navy cooperates, it will be a big deal.

The combat effectiveness of a sailor who can go out to sea to catch Kun is self-evident.

Moreover, when trading with other countries, there is a big Han navy behind it, and the waist is harder.

"nature."

Liu Ke nodded, and said very seriously:

"The Maritime Silk Road must have great benefits."

"The imperial court can take profits, but it can't block the way of the people."

Although the imperial court can make a lot of money by monopolizing the sea trade business, it is inevitable that they will be criticized by words and pens if they live alone.

Zheng He's voyages to the West actually made a lot of money.

But all the money went to the treasury.

Only by expanding the maritime trade business and allowing everyone to participate, can the Maritime Silk Road last for a long time.

And Liu Ke also knew in his heart that although there is a destiny of [free trade], the imperial court does not have much worth trading now.

It is impossible to maximize the benefits of this destiny.

That's why he purposely hunted whaling and used Kun Kun as a trade commodity.

And with the participation of aristocratic families, some valuable things can be brought to the table.

At the same time, the navy officers and soldiers can also supervise the aristocratic family to a certain extent.

"Your Majesty Shengming!!"

He Kun bowed his hands from the bottom of his heart.

There have been many emperors who can make money throughout the ages.

But the emperor who can bring everyone together to make money is unique.

He Kun felt more and more that he had succeeded in standing in the team.

Although Qiongzhou's aristocratic families were in the hands of the emperor, they were kidnapped batch after batch.

But those who survived were doing well.

Not only can you enter the court as an official, but you can even participate in the "Maritime Silk Road" of the court.

If it can really be like the Silk Road in the Western Regions back then, the benefits can be imagined!

He Kun immediately discussed with Gan Wenjin and Fu Xuance how to go to sea and how to get to Luzon.

But if you go to sea one day late, you will lose one more day!

Ever since, the "Maritime Silk Road" and "free trade" have gradually entered the right track.
-
Liu Ke returned to the long-lost city of Qiongzhou.

As soon as he returned to court, he hurriedly summoned Hua Chengyu, Man Huaiying, and Xiao Yuanchang for a small meeting.

When Hua Chengyu saw the other two people who were having a small meeting, he felt that he was a bit out of place.

His brain is not as good as those two!

Liu Ke said in a hurry:

"After the rebellion in Qiongzhou, there are very few wealthy families with ulterior motives left."

"And vacated a large area of ​​land."

"It's better to take the opportunity to clear the land in the state."

this is necessary.

Not only Qiongzhou, but Jiaozhou, which was once again under the rule of the Han Dynasty after hundreds of years, and Gaozhou, which was recently recovered, all need land clearing.

Taxes can only be collected if the acres of land have been found out.

As for the private sector, there are cases of tax evasion.

When Xiao Yuanchang and the three heard this, their hearts tightened.

Qingzhang land is not a new term, but it is an urgent matter.

If the land is not clear, there will be land annexation.

This further led to a disparity between the rich and the poor, the common people had no land to grow, and the rich and powerful families concealed their property and deliberately evaded taxes.

The fiscal revenue of the imperial court will be drastically reduced.

At the time of Emperor Xiaowu, Dong Zhongshu put forward the idea of ​​"restricting the people's famous land to support the shortage and block the road to mergers and acquisitions".

The imperial court is required to clear the land, find out the household registration, and limit the number of personal fields to curb mergers.

Emperor Xiaowu also dared to do it, as long as he had hidden land and wanted to evade taxes, he would throw it to the border.

But it didn't work, and it was hacked for several years.

Emperor Guangwu also did this. After ascending the throne, he immediately dispatched officials to clear the land of the whole country.

As a result, the memorial in the local official newspaper actually stated that "the land in the Nanyang area cannot be checked."

Simply outrageous.

Having learned from the past, Hua Chengyu coughed a few times, and said with a pale face:

"Clearing the land is not a trivial matter, and some people may not be willing."

Xiao Yuanchang also nodded and said:
"It's only been a few months since the head is rolling."

"The aristocratic family is already panicking. At this time, if we attack the land again, I'm afraid it will easily intensify the conflict between the imperial court and the aristocratic family."

"It is the time to cultivate health and rest. If so, it will definitely not be conducive to governance."

Man Huaiying frowned and said:
"Isn't the foundation of this cultivation of life and rest just the land?"

"Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming, do you just let those hidden fields and households leak their taxes?"

With his ability, it is natural to see that the biggest obstacle to clearing the land is the aristocratic family.

Anyone who involves aristocratic families will become troublesome.

But he was still not like Hua Chengyu and Xiao Yuanchang, who looked forward and backward.

One says one, and two says two.

Man Huaiying's attitude towards Qingzhang's land did not surprise Liu Ke.

Man Pang Pang is an upright person, and he was killed from the ranks, not from a wealthy family.

Naturally, he would not show any kindness to the aristocratic family.

It's a bit surprising to be able to grow into this body shape. Could it be puffiness?

Liu Ke tapped his fingers on the table, with a deep tone:
"I know that this land is something that has been swallowed by the aristocratic family."

"If you want them to take it out again, it will easily intensify the conflict between the two parties."

"But we are the imperial court, and the imperial court has to compare pennies and pennies."

"The poor peasants tightened their pants and paid a little tax."

"That's why the imperial court can distribute salaries to officials and rewards to soldiers."

"How can someone stay out of the matter and evade taxes by hiding their fields and households?"

"Pay less here, and pay less over there, and the entire imperial court will be short of taxes."

"Besides, this is not a petty gain."

"The tax for one mu of land is a small amount, but how about multiplying it by 1 or [-]?"

"Which aristocratic family doesn't own tens of thousands of acres of land?!"

Several people were silent for a while.

Even in places like Jiaozhou where the power of aristocratic families is not so obvious, a rich family can confiscate [-] to [-] land!

Xiao Yuan is often aware of this, but it is really not easy to clear the land:

"Your Majesty, you can move your whole body with one hair."

"The imperial court knows that Qingzhang's land can receive a lot of taxes, and those aristocratic families naturally know the pain."

"And they think too highly of themselves."

This is the case with aristocratic families, who always feel that their identities are different from those of mud legs in the field.

Why let them pay taxes like ordinary people?

Liu Ke looked at the three of them with burning eyes:
"After Qin Xiaogong, Qin has been in chaos for four generations."

"Wealth and land have been lost unprecedentedly. Years of wars, the treasury was exhausted, the Hexi was lost, the customs were different, and the countries were inferior to Qin, and they did not join the alliance."

"After Qin Xiaogong, under the four cardinal principles, there are laws and regulations, and the whole country has the same law. Orders are prohibited, officials are free from corruption, and common people are selfless."

"The state of Qin, out of the world, and the country of martial arts."

"How can a weak Qin become a strong Qin?"

Several people were stunned.

Hua Chengyu simply stared blankly, unable to react.

Xiao Yuanchang and Man Huaiying, but they immediately understood.

When it comes to Qin Xiaogong, one key figure is inseparable.

Shang Yang.

Shang Yang's reforms crazily attacked the nobles, which greatly damaged the interests of the nobles.

At the same time, the Qin State swept away the persistent illnesses of the nobles, made tax evasion a common practice, and the half-dead Qin State came back to life.

In the end, Qin Shihuang was able to survive the survivors of the sixth life, defeated the remaining six countries that were still involved in aristocratic politics, and finally unified the world.

"I think"

Liu Ke still wants to open his mouth.

But was interrupted by Man Huaiying.

The chubby face is the same as that of He Kun, with fat on both cheeks.

But this extra fat actually seemed extraordinarily resolute.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to say more."

"The way of the world is not empty talk."

"Man Huaiying pleads for orders to clear the land of the great man for the imperial court!"

Seeing Man Huaiying's move, Liu Ke immediately stood up and bowed deeply:
"The public is like a green mountain, and I am like a pine and cypress."

"It's up to Man Qing to do this!"

In fact, Man Huaiying was his favorite candidate.

Originally, Jia Wuji was not dead, this matter was his job.

Liu Ke is also planning to let Man Huaiying follow Jia Wuji, learn for a while, and then reuse him.

Unfortunately, the old man died.

We can only let Man Huaiying go on the top first, and drive the ducks to the shelves.

After hearing the emperor's words, Man Huaiying bowed deeply:
"Your Majesty, you are serious. It is your duty to be a minister and share the worries of the king. Even though I died, I did not regret it!"

He dared to do it, but Man Huaiying knew that doing so would probably end badly.

Leaving aside Shang Yang who was liquidated afterwards and divided into five horses, the last one, Jia Wuji, who offended a large family and aristocratic family wantonly and even dragged a vote of a large family into the water before his death, ended badly.

The 80-year-old man is alive and well!

But Man Huaiying didn't care too much.

Shang Yang is Shang Yang, and Jia Wuji is Jia Wuji.

When Gaozhou feigned surrender, he had already died once.

Moreover, he also has his own reasons.

Hua Chengyu couldn't figure it out, but looking at it, it was a big deal. He was such a brainless loyalist, so he naturally saluted and bowed again and again:

"The minister is willing to perish in state affairs!"

Xiao Yuanchang is not a radical person, he feels that everything can be done slowly.

For example, after ascending the throne, the world is settled, and the court has no foreign enemies, then slowly liquidate.

But the atmosphere was already here, so he cupped his hands and said:

"My lord, I have no regrets even though I die."

Seeing that one or two were willing to die, Liu Ke said with a smile:
"I am not Qin Xiaogong, nor are the ministers Shang Yang."

"How could I be the kind of king who let his subjects die in front of him?"

"Many things may seem dangerous, but there are holes in them."

"Follow the context, and change one step at a time, and you can control it comprehensively."

"I have asked He Kun, Gan Wenjin, and Fu Xuance to discuss the matter of going to sea."

"Aristocratic families are allowed to go to sea for trade, and sailors can be used as guards."

"This"

The three of them were taken aback.

It turned into rain and still can't figure it out.

Man Huaiying and Xiao Yuanchang understood that the emperor was giving away profits.

Clearing up the land and collecting taxes will certainly cause the aristocratic family to bleed.

But the emperor also gave a way to make up for it.

Just like this sea trade.

They don't know how much Haimao can earn.

But with hard currency like Kunzhu, there is no way to lose money.

The aristocratic family has made money in sea trade, and their resistance to Qingzhang's land will be somewhat lighter.

This is Liu Ke's idea.

In essence, it is a slap in the face and a sweet date.

He is forcing the aristocratic family to transform.

From merging land to cross-sea trade.

Those who are willing to accept Qingzhang and pay taxes honestly are good citizens of the big man, and let you go to sea to do business.

If you don't want to.
"I want to restore the embroidered clothes envoy system of Emperor Xiaowu's time."

"Turn into rain, I will make you the commander of embroidered clothes, the same rank as the third rank, to monitor the world."

Hua Chengyu was still immersed in the joy of being promoted.

Man Huaiying and Xiao Yuanchang were secretly startled.

The courage of the emperor is not insignificant.

Even if the embroidered clothes commander of the same third rank was not at the peak of Emperor Xiaowu's time, there must be a lot of troops under him.

This is tantamount to giving them a knife.

With one hand, sea trade transfers profits, and with the other hand, embroidering clothes makes Karma kill people.

There are many ways for Man Huaiying and Xiao Yuanchang.

Xiao Yuanchang immediately advised:

"Your Majesty, it is still necessary to start from easy to difficult to clear the land."

"First mobilize enough manpower from the army to make enough embroidered clothes."

"Then based on the counties and counties, let the embroidered clothes envoys act separately."

"First move to the county town near Qiongzhou City, where the power of the aristocratic family is weakest."

"Then Beipu County, then Nanpu and Zhenpu County, then Jiaozhou, and finally Gaozhou."

"You can focus on it, focusing on the powerful and merchants, and increase your efforts to clean up. As for the aristocratic families, you should be relatively gentle."

Liu Ke agreed with Xiao Yuanchang's suggestion.

It's hard to do it all at once.

Pay attention to a step-by-step process.

Moreover, the differentiated treatment of aristocratic families and wealthy families can also make them internally strife.

Liu Ke nodded, and then took out a small booklet:
"However, the term Qingzhang land should not be mentioned again in the future."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned.

In order to clear the land, they studied for a long time.

There is even a will to die.

The result is not mentioned all of a sudden?

"Ecological Survey."

Liu Ke said a term that was extremely unfamiliar to everyone.

Then he opened the pamphlet and explained:
"This is some ecological survey I did along the coast of Zhibigang."

"That's why I found out the distribution of Zotou Kun and Hu Kun."

"That's why I was able to successfully capture the Zutou Kun and make huge profits."

"Just investigating a sea area can make a lot of money, how about investigating the land?"

"Maybe, we can catch unicorns, dragons and phoenixes. This is an auspicious omen!"

Several people are still puzzled.

But after reading the brochure, I gradually understood.

In the ecological survey manual, not only the ecological environment of the sea area, but also the current state of animals and plants.

There are also exact land and hydrological conditions.

Even every piece of land measured was numbered.

The shape, height, soil quality, and even the owner of each piece of land are clearly recorded.

When investigating the habitat, distribution, and number of animals, I checked the land conditions by the way. Is this normal?
As for the records of landowners, it is more reasonable.

Nonsense, what if you hide Xiangrui privately?
Do you want to rebel?

Everyone looked at each other.

The emperor has already prepared everything that can be prepared for them.

There are not only the transfer of interests by sea trade, but also the use of embroidered clothes as knives, and even ecological investigations to cover up the outside world and justify the name.

In this way, several people discussed the specific operation method of the ecological survey.

It can be said to be vigorous and resolute.

Almost on the day when the Embroidery Envoy was formed, the ecological survey began.

Xiao Yuan often sat in the center of the town, full of Yingying, turned into rain, and led their own teams to settle in the counties near Qiongzhou City.

Soon, however, they ran into trouble.
