Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 233 Gold Rush ([-])

A few months later
Yongping first year
Emperor Liu Xiu passed away, and the crown prince Liu Zhuang came to the throne. This Liu Zhuang was Liu Yang, who gave advice on "fighting the powerful with the powerful" before, and changed his name to Liu Zhuang after he became the prince.

Liu Xiu was born as a mere rich peasant, and was able to pacify the world, and surrendered Wuhuan, severely injured the Huns, split them into the Southern Huns and the Northern Huns, and made the Southern Huns a vassal of the Han Dynasty.

The name is ZTE, but it is actually a pioneer!
People in later generations may think that what he did was not good enough, for example, that he did not completely wipe out the powerful, for example, that he did not destroy Goguryeo, or that he moved the Southern Huns and Wuhuan inland, causing many areas where the Han people lived to become barbarians Habitat, and for example, he did not recover the Western Regions and so on.

But comparing his heart with his heart, Liu Xiu was able to unify a dilapidated world, solve the main foreign trouble of the Xiongnu, and temporarily suppress the powerful forces. These have done well enough.

Liu Xiu is not a god, he can't solve all the problems of the empire, he can solve or suppress most of the problems, that's enough!He is a well-deserved generation of Mingjun!
The children of the four major families in Liaodong County all wore plain clothes and abstained from eating meat or killing for a month in a row to show their respect for this wise king.

Although the four big families are constantly corrupting Liu Xiu's empire, this does not conflict with the four big families' reverence for Liu Xiu.

I want to corrupt your country, because this is my instinct and mission as a gentry, but at the same time, I admire you from the bottom of my heart, you are a wise king, and I am willing to praise you on the premise that you have not harmed our interests, and I am willing to work with you Give you the greatest respect when you collapse.

Liaohe Estuary

A large number of livestock were driven by the Wuhuan people to Gaoxian Township, where they were loaded onto ships, passed through the Liaohe River to Bohai Bay, and finally transported to the Sanhan area.

Since Wang Bian served as the captain of Wuhuan.He firmly controlled Wuhuan's livestock trade, and more than [-] Wuhuan people became herdsmen dedicated to grazing for the Liaodong royal family.

The Wang family bought the livestock of the Wuhuan people at a very low price. They only needed some tea and silk in exchange for a large amount of livestock.

As for the tribe that dared to refuse trade, Wang Bian would label this tribe as a traitor to the big man, and then join other Wuhuan tribes to plunder the tribe that refused to sell livestock to the Wang family.

In the end, the looted livestock were divided up by other tribes, and then sold to the royal family at a low price by these tribes, which can be described as a win-win situation.

The Wang family won, because the Wang family was able to buy livestock at low prices for a long time, and other Wuhuan tribes also won, because in their view, these livestock were not theirs at all, and if they could be sold, they would earn money, regardless of how much they sold.

In order to promote "free trade" in Wuhuan, Wang Bian took great pains. Whenever a certain tribe suddenly became powerful, he quickly instigated other tribes to attack this tribe, and then divided up the livestock together, but at the same time deliberately gave the divided tribe Keep the bloodline, let their descendants remember the blood feud, let their descendants be hostile to other Wuhuan tribes for revenge.

Pull one faction, fight another faction, unite the weak, attack the strong, keep the other party in a divided state, and no one is allowed to unify the other. This is the consistent method of the Wang family to conquer others.

Huwuhuan Xiaowei's Mansion
"Sanhan has been completely conquered. It has been more than two hundred years since my royal family first came into contact with the people of Sanhan."

"After 200 years of ups and downs, spring, summer, autumn and winter did not change their minds, and finally completed one of the many great goals set by our ancestors."

Wang Bian looked at the nautical chart in his hand and muttered to himself.

This nautical chart was drawn by the ancestor Wang Roujing himself, and it is unique to the Wang family. Except for the children of the Wang family, no one else can read it.

However, since Lu Yanjun explored the Ryukyu Islands decades ago, Wang Bian added the location of the Ryukyu Islands to this nautical chart.

But even so, this nautical chart, which has been preserved for more than 200 years, is considered outdated after all, and it is almost an antique now.

On this nautical chart, except for Zhinu Island (Kyushu Island) in the east, which is marked with two columns of small characters [There is a country called Yunzhongjun, and the country has a big gold mine], the rest of the place has either been opened up by the Wang family, or it is still pitch black. One piece, I don't know the situation of those places at all, and I don't even know whether those places are oceans or land.

For the big gold mine, the Wang family is naturally interested, but not very interested.

The main reason is that the current mining technology is too low, and the cost of mining gold mines is very high. It doesn’t matter if it’s a personal behavior, it’s just a chance, just like a casino, there are always people who can get rich overnight, but most people can only do nothing. return.

However, it is obviously impossible for the Wang family not to reclaim the unreclaimed land in Sanhan, but to waste a lot of manpower and material resources to dig gold mines.

"Xiao Ruizi's suggestion is good. Use the gold everywhere to lure the people of Liaodong to go to Zhinu Island to dig gold mines, thus forcing them to open up wasteland for our Wang family on Zhinu Island. The finally reclaimed fields belong to our Wang family, and the gold mine also belongs to our Wang family. "Wang Bian praised the seduction plan proposed by his nephew Wang Rui [Weaver Girl Island is full of gold].

While agreeing with the plan of [Gold on Zhinu Island], Wang Bian also wanted Wang Rui to explore the Japanese Islands and explore the dark areas on the nautical chart.

This is a arduous task. You may encounter inexplicable storms at sea, or you may be attacked by a powerful indigenous tribe, or you may be infected with a strange disease on the island, or the fleet will get lost, and then you will be alive on the vast sea. starve.

Because it was discovered that eating more fruits could alleviate sepsis, the royal fleet had to carry a lot of fruit on long voyages.

But there is another problem, the fruit will rot, if the fruit has rotted before the voyage is over, it will cause big trouble.

In this case, they can only forcibly land on land to pick fresh fruits, but they will also encounter strange dangers from land.

Although the Central Plains has long used salted ice to keep food fresh, if such things as salted ice are only used for personal enjoyment, it is not an expensive thing for Wang Bian.

But if it is to be used as a necessity for sailors, it is another concept.

"No, no, the cost of using nitrous ice to preserve fresh fruit is too high, let the craftsmen think of a solution."

Wang Bian, who really couldn't think of a solution, decided to leave this difficult problem to the craftsmen, so he added an item to the [Proposal of the Patriarch]: think of a way to extend the shelf life of the fruit, and whoever thinks of a way will be rewarded with a reward of 300 million yuan!

Whenever the Patriarch has a problem or suggestion, he can pass the problem to the family members through the [Patriarch Proposal], so that the family children, doctors, and craftsmen can find a solution together.

This is where the real horror of the Wang family lies. It is not just the head of the family, Wang Bian, who is working hard for the family's growth, but a group of family children are all working hard for the family's growth.

Wang Bian never considered himself a god, nor did he think he knew everything.

She knows a little more about military affairs, but she doesn't know much about other aspects.

But with so many family members, each person develops in a different direction. Some learn military affairs, some learn management, some learn etiquette, some learn medicine, and some learn craftsman skills and so on.

As the head of the family, what Wang Bian has to do is not to shoulder the burden of the whole family alone, not to take on everything by himself, but to mobilize the power of the whole family, and let everyone work together to solve the problem. It is the meaning of the existence of the owner.

The head of the house is not a nanny, but a leader.
