An hour later, Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and Shaofu Secretary Liu She, Danong Zhibu and the heads of the relevant departments all rushed to the Xuanshu Palace.
"The prime minister came just in time" Liu Che looked at the ministers led by Zhou Yafu who came in a hurry, and said directly: "I just received the battle report from the front" Liu Che looked at the map and said, "A decisive battle is about to be staged."
Zhou Yafu and the others looked up at the map illuminated by the oil lamp.
I saw that on the map, one after another representing the main force of the Xiongnu Wanqi, surrounded by Heyin.
It was a seven-sided battle, and the Zhidu of the Han army was clamped down in Heyin.
Everyone looked at each other, then nodded, and bowed: "Your Majesty Shengming" The decisive battle of Heyin has indeed begun.
The Huns have gathered so many troops, and they must be planning to eat the Zhidu department.
And the Han family will never sit idly by and watch a ruling Jinwu and a Jiuqing fall into the hands of the enemy.
Even if the last copper coin in the treasury was exhausted and the last grain of rice was used, the Han family would never allow the Zhidu to be destroyed by the Xiongnu The ministers looked at each other, and then, under the leadership of Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, they knelt down collectively and said in unison: "The ministers obey the holy order" Zhidu's usual popularity is actually not good, and among the hundreds of officials, I don't know how many people want to eat its flesh, skin it, and drink its blood.
However, now, in the face of war, everyone, all forces and interest groups, have all given up their prejudices and immediately chose to support Zhidu.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhuxia has been a brother on the wall, and then the outside is insulted Self-management of the princes of Zhongjiuhe, after a Kuang world.
Naïve nationalism has taken root.
Of course, there are not only ideas and ideas, but also practical interests and factional interests.
For the current ministers of the Han family and the interest groups of the military merits of the liehous.
Winning a war is the greatest common divisor As long as the battle is won, then everyone can be promoted to become rich, and even make the faction chicken dog ascend to heaven.
Otherwise, the consequences could be catastrophic No one dared to make a move in such a big war that would determine the fortunes of the country, or to declare a personal vendetta.
Whoever dares to do this will definitely be turned into a corpse by others The reason is simple.
For the princes of the Han family, especially those who are already poor and extravagant, like cooking oil in a fire, and the giants of the princely families and military interest groups who are extremely rich.
In this world, there is only one left that allows them to continue to have motivation and goals to pursue.
This is a feudal state, listed as a prince, dominating the life and death of a country, and at the same time opening a new generation and being the ancestor of a lineage This is also the ultimate pursuit of all Chinese scholars and aristocrats.
And in order to do this, the Han army must be poisoned.
Only when the body is poisoned, everyone's wish can be fulfilled one day.
Whoever stops on this road and does not let the Han army get poisoned will be the mortal enemy of the princes, ministers, and military merit interest groups No matter how deep your background is or how high your status is, you will be dragged to the East Market by them and chopped into pulp Liu Che looked at these courtiers and nodded with satisfaction.
Sow one seed in spring and harvest 10,000 seeds of millet in autumn.
In some sense, the scene in front of him was created by him.
Over the years, he has continued to preach the wealth of body poison, single-handedly fabricated countless legends about body poison, and at the same time constantly emphasized on various occasions that body poison and its surroundings will be divided into feudal lords.
Then, Liu Che took the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate as proof of his determination.
One by one, the kingdoms of Gaen were feudal, all over Anton.
The ministers of the lieges took the first reassuring pill.
Then came the rise of Anton's gold tide, Liu Che, the son of heaven, still generously developed to the world, and Xu Min panned for gold.
This made the princes and ministers finally convinced that when today's son speaks, once he is defeated, he will inevitably be divided into meritorious heroes.
Who can refuse the temptation and confusion of opening a new generation and being the ancestor of a series Who can refuse the prospect of being a widow and building a great cause of their own family On this basis, as long as the Han army can continue to win, and continue to approach the goal of colonizing distant places.
Then, the interests and values of the ruling class of the entire Han family are the same.
Everyone's purpose is the same.
For the sake of this common goal and common good.
As long as it is not the hatred of killing the father, the hatred of taking the wife, and any other small grievances, you can put it aside and endure it Liu Che carried the ribbon and looked at these courtiers, he felt that the monster that was originally dying had been resurrected and completely rejuvenated.
"I think that back then, the Qin people fought hard for the seventh generation, and finally annexed the world" Liu Che thought in his heart: "My country, work hard for 30 years, unite for 30 years, and realize the ultimate ambition, what is this?"
At that time, the Qin Empire was endlessly torn internally, struggles and vendettas, but as long as it was external, then immediately give up all prejudices.
The government and the opposition are united as one.
Let the six countries of the East fight endlessly It is precisely this spirit that enabled the Qin people to finally fulfill their historical mission to turn China into a unified empire And today, the Han family and Liu Che have also made their historical mission clear The handsome division invaded the country, eliminated the lack of way in the distance, overcame thorns and thorns, and went to the opportunity of thousands of miles But tens of thousands of miles of Yidi turned 100,000 miles into China Hold high the throne of the gods of the summers, let it bloom with the bright light of civilization, and reign over the world.
Let the whole world, let this earth, all nations and countries, all can only kneel on the ground and look up to the glory and strength of Zhuxia.
To be a real Celestial Empire, a real Central Empire This mission, Liu Che just thought about it, and he felt that his blood was boiling, his blood was swelling, and it was difficult to restrain himself.
Thinking of this mission, Liu Che lifted his ribbon, strode forward, and said: "Prime Minister, I am the captain of the Emperor, holding the Tiger Talisman, sitting in Taiyuan, and the governor of Shangdai, Beidi, Yanmen and Yanzhao Counties, responsible for dispatching grain and grass materials, and replenishing personnel and equipment."
For decades, the Han dynasty trained a large number of civilians and soldiers in the area of the Great Wall in the north.
The dozen or so counties along the Great Wall are basically all soldiers.

However, all the while, these forces were scattered.
Except for a few field regiments, the county soldiers and militias in other places all rotated within a county, holding up orders to carry out joint defense in wartime.
In normal times, this is of course a good idea.
But in wartime, especially when the Han and Hungarian wars were in war, the disadvantages of such a system were undoubtedly highlighted.
The counties and countries in each country are in their own ways, and each other's strength cannot be turned into fists.
A lot of manpower and material resources have been wasted.
Especially now, the decisive battle between Han and Hungary is imminent.
Waste is sin Sending Zhou Yafu to sit in Taiyuan, he served as a lieutenant as the prime minister, and the governor-general, Liu Che believed that with Zhou Yafu's skill, ability, prestige and qualifications, it was enough to make the entire north stick into a rope.
However, this also almost announced that Zhou Yafu's position as prime minister would enter the late stage after the end of the Han-Hungarian war.
Two years at the latest, one year at the shortest.
Liu Che has to choose a new prime minister.
When Zhou Yafu heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately bowed: "The minister respectfully obeys the edict" As a general and a warrior, Zhou Yafu has stayed in Chang'an since he put down the Wu Chu Rebellion.
Not to mention the war, I haven't even smelled the smell of gunsmoke.
It's been around like a rusty machine for a long time.
Now, I have the opportunity to be in charge again.
Although he was not on the front line, he was already very satisfied to be able to contribute to the victory of the Han army.
"I will send Qu Zhou and Gong Gao Erqing to be the prime minister," Liu Che continued.
Dispatch the retired Qu Zhou Hou Liji and Gong Gao Hou Han Rongdang to sit in Taiyuan with Zhou Yafu.
That is, it is necessary to use the wisdom and prestige of the veterans to subdue and coordinate the various mountains in the north.
It is also hoped that these two veterans can discover a new group of young generals for the Han family, preferably from poor families.
In the current Han family, the ratio of generals and ministers from poor families is still too low.
Liu Che plans to make the children of the Han family occupy one-third of the Jiuqing and forty percent of the courtiers in the next three to five years.
As for whether these veterans, especially Zhou Yafu, will they become a threat to Liu Che's imperial power in the future If it had been three or four years ago, Liu Che would probably have this concern.
But now As the only king who has proved his destiny after three generations, as the son of heaven who has gone from one victory to another.
The power is high and the master is covered The general's tail is too big to fall The interests of the military hill are too great None of this is a problem A piece of edict immediately made a general with 100,000 soldiers and a powerful country wait for death.
Whoever dares to resist can resist Moreover, Zhou Yafu's personality and loyalty, Liu Che is 100% relieved.
Of course, rest assured.
But there is still a system.
Liu Che single-handedly created today's Han political framework, and of course he would not be stupid enough to abandon it himself.
In any case, Zhou Yafu, Li Ji and Han Yandang can't and can't lead the troops anymore.
Moreover, after this battle, when the situation stabilizes, Zhou Yafu should still be Zhishi A prime minister will be reappointed for two consecutive terms at most, and he will rule the world for eight years, and he will be replaced.
However, it is still a little early to mention this matter.
It's not too late to wait until two years later.
Now, the first goal of the Han dynasty is to defeat the Xiongnu first and seize absolute hegemony and control in Northeast Asia "I plan to issue a batch of treasury bonds" Liu Che took a step forward, looked at Zhou Yafu, Liu Shehe's straight faces, and said: "The total amount of this treasury bond is 300,000 catties of gold."
Now, the circulation of five baht coins is too small, and it is naturally impossible for Liu Che to issue a treasury bond of hundreds of thousands.
But gold is okay.
"National debt" Zhou Yafu was slightly stunned.
When there is a war, borrowing money from businessmen is not a new thing in China.
Back then, Zhou Yafu led the troops to the expedition and borrowed 5,000 gold from the loan sharks in Chang'an In the end, with interest, he returned more than 30,000 gold Farther away, back then, King Zhou of Zong Zhou was forced by the creditors to hide on a high platform, and he didn't even dare to return to the palace.
This is where the idiom comes from.
All this fully illustrates that it is very common in China to raise military expenses by promising interest rates to society for military activities.
However, this is the first time that the state has been used as the basic unit to issue bonds to the people of the world Liu Che naturally understands that this matter is a bit tricky.
Because theoretically speaking, this country, this world, belongs to him alone.
As long as Liu Che was in need, he could confiscate the property of the landlords, wealthy businessmen, and powerful bureaucrats at any time.
Even, theoretically speaking, Liu Che raided these guys' homes, and they had to kowtow and thank the emperor for his mighty grace, and did not take their heads away by the way It's just that This is only a theoretical thing after all.

Therefore, Liu Che wants to issue treasury bonds.
He looked at the ministers, nodded, and explained: "However, it is the government debt that I plan to issue this batch of treasury bonds with a total amount of 300,000 gold at an annual interest rate of 2% to the nobles above the public seat in the world, officials with assets of more than 600 stones, and merchants with assets of more than 500,000 yuan, and the proceeds of the above Lin Yuan and the Salt and Iron Yamen as repayment."
Today's Han Dynasty Shanglin Yuan and Salt and Iron Yamen are the real profiteering yamen of the Han family Recorded every year, at least hundreds of thousands These two yamen are fully capable and powerful, and they can take charge of the task of repaying the national debt.
It's just that In China, the rules of the game and the way of doing things are completely different from those in the West.
Take this national debt, for example.
Liu Che was completely sure that if he didn't take some measures, I am afraid that the final outcome would be very gratifying Well, in history, Emperor Wu issued an edict to invite the world's wealthy merchants and landlords to donate money for military expenses.
But after shouting for a long time, a Bu Shi stood up.
Emperor Wu's face was almost lost.
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Wu wanted to launch a crackdown on the rich merchants in the world, and used the gold incident to beat the princes down.
Liu Che learned the lesson of Emperor Wu and came up with the interest rate.
But this is only 2% of the annual interest rate, and Liu Che believes that if he does not take any other action, then it is likely that he will not be able to sell even the 30,000 gold treasury bonds in the end This is also normal Didn't the first batch of treasury bonds of the Celestial Empire in later generations almost not be sold?
Fortunately, in China, there is a big killer.
Its name is pronounced as Voluntary Contributions, Written as Compulsory Assessments.
Liu Che looked at Zhou Yafu and said, "Prime Minister, what I care about, just buy 10,000 gold."
Zhou Yafu was immediately embarrassed.
Ten thousand gold It's as easy as 10,000 dollars However, his savings are only two or three thousand gold.
This is still a lot of rewards from the Son of Heaven over the years, plus the filial piety of several nephews every now and then in the past two years, as well as the rewards of the East Palace, this is why I have this net worth.
Otherwise, he's a pauper.
However, looking at Liu Che's appearance, he didn't dare to say no at all.
What are you kidding?
The Son of Heaven has spoken, let you take the lead, do you dare not take the lead For Zhou Yafu, the only good news is probably that he has more friends.
Within three or five days, you can still make up enough 10,000 gold. but In case the Son of Heaven does not repay the money after five years, he will have to sell himself to pay off his debts Liu Che was too lazy to care about so much.
He looked at Taohou Liu She and said, "Taohou, Qing also subscribes for 10,000 gold."
Liu She was very active, and he was busy bowing: "The minister is edicted" Liu She is rich He, the young secretary, has made a lot of money in recent years Not to mention, the oil and water in those projects alone are enough to make his mouth full of oil.
Although it is said that it is likely that the oil and water fished over the years do not add up to 10,000 gold.
But don't forget, he also has the output of the feudal kingdom and the garn feudal kingdom.
Ten thousand gold For him, it's a drizzle Liu Che looked at Zhi Budo, who was so frightened that he was about to tremble.
Although he is not poor, it is impossible to pay 10,000 gold.
Even if he is sold, he will not be able to make up such a huge sum.
Liu Chezi also understood this, so he said: "Let's pay a thousand gold."
Zhi Budo let out a long breath and bowed: "The minister respectfully obeys the edict" "As for the other princes and lords and two thousand stones" Liu Che looked at Zhou Yafu and said: "Please tell the prime minister one by one: if you have more than two thousand stones, you must subscribe for at least five hundred gold treasury bonds, and the princes will subscribe according to the number of households in the city, and one household in the city needs to subscribe for one gold."
The Han family has hundreds of princes, and when they add up, they can at least digest more than half of the entire national debt, or even more.
Two thousand stones are not poor bastards.
Five hundred gold per person can also digest at least tens of thousands of gold of national debt for Liu Che.
As for the rest Of course, it is going to be subscribed by the merchants.
This time, Liu Che plans to decide whether to crack down on those wealthy businessmen according to the number of subscriptions.
If it is a generous giant, Liu Che will support him and give him some policies.
If you hold your money bag, you won't pull out a dime hehe Then it's useless to keep such scum t1706231537:
