For the merchant group of the Han family, especially the big merchants.
They have been looking forward to this day since the Battle of Mayi, four years after the Battle of Yuande.
After the Battle of Gaoque, they were already clamoring and promoting the Han family's conquest and control of the Makunan.
This is not only because of interests, but also because it is related to the lives of everyone During the battle of Yan Ji, more than a dozen merchants of Andong joined forces at the initiative of the miscellaneous family to transport a fleet of these great families, immediately unloaded at their respective docks, and then carried soldiers, weapons and food, and braved the storm and harsh sea conditions, and galloped through Quanzhou.
In two months, they organized more than 500 ships of all sizes to transport 5,000 soldiers and all their weapons and equipment, 150,000 stone of grain, hundreds of thousands of sets of clothing, and an unknown number of medicinal materials to the port of Quanzhou.
After the war, they continued to deliver supplies and medicines needed for post-war reconstruction to Quanzhou.
For this reason, although they paid a heavy price, twenty-five ships of various kinds sank in the storm and bad sea conditions, and even the head of the merchant family died with the ship.
However, no one flinched, no one was afraid.
Even the son of the merchant who had just lost his father, after hearing the funeral, wore filial piety clothes, but continued to command the merchant ships in his family to ride the wind and waves and march towards Quanzhou.
It was not until the victory of the war that he returned home to build a mourning hall and a tomb for his father.
This incident has given the businessmen a lot of points in front of the world.
For the first time, people remembered that businessmen are certainly scum.
But there are also righteous businessmen and gentlemen In ancient times, there were high strings, giving up the family for the country, and there were also Zigong, although they were businessmen, but they were respected, and there was Tao Zhu Gong, which was praised by the world.
Subsequently, the reconstruction of Chang'an City, all over the world, including the local wealthy businessmen in Chang'an, have generously donated, which also makes people's impression of them go to a higher level.
Taking advantage of this unprecedented relaxed public opinion environment and good situation.
The businessmen, of course, immediately couldn't wait to promote and operate Xia Yi's inauguration.
This is also the reason why Xia Yi was able to go to the country so quickly Otherwise, I'm afraid that now, the court is still arguing about whether to return to righteousness and whether to go to the country.
There's no way, it's really Wuyan's death is too miserable You must know that for many big names today, the Wuyan clan is their spiritual idol and the legend in their hearts.
In the rebellion of Wu Chu, he dared to lend to the state, and he could recover the principal and interest.
It's a miracle And businessmen from all over the world, when they came to Chang'an for the first time, the first thing they felt was never the majesty of the Han family and the sacredness of the Son of Heaven.
It's the glory of the wealthy Wuyan clan In its heyday, Flower Street Willow Lane, almost all the well-known ecstasy caves, all of them were the industries of the Yanwu clan This terrible family once monopolized the high-end clubs and high-end financial industries in Chang'an.
They have funded thousands of officials, and they have also provided various financial services for the princes of Jiuqing to relieve their worries.
When it comes to connections and relationships, businessmen all over the world can only look at them.
But such a huge family, such a legendary family.
In front of the imperial power, it is not even as good as an ant.
Pinch it lightly and shatter your bones.
All the property was confiscated, and all the wealth was confiscated It is said that Shaofu transported more than 80 carts of gold from the main residence of the Wuyan clan And in Chang'an City, a whole thirty boxes of creditor's rights were piled up together, and the pride and glory of these saltless clans were burned to the ground for a fire.
The onlookers all clapped their hands and applauded, and the ministers all breathed a sigh of relief.
And the businessmen of the world, especially the big businessmen, broke out in a cold sweat, stood upside down, and the two were trembling.
At that moment, they knew that even if they were worth hundreds of millions and thousands of slaves, the object of their marriage was a top-level prince and a two-thousand-stone master.
However, if you don't become a relative of the emperor, you will be gray after all.
Only by becoming an imperial merchant like the Cheng Zheng family and the Zhuo family in Linqiong, or learning from the Shi family and becoming a fortunate minister of the Son of Heaven, can he have a chance to become a slightly stronger ant, no longer under the power of heaven, unable to even refute a sentence, and unable to even make an excuse for himself.
And I want to become Cheng Zheng's, Zhuo's, and Shi's.
The road is already in front of them.
Of course, they have another way to change countries Capital knows no borders.
But it's a pity that the Han Empire at this time was even more terrible than the Mi Emperor in later generations Within the universe, only empires can give them the wealth, markets, and resources they have today.
Only the Han family can make them so noble It's awkward.
Yes, there is only one choice for capital.
Just like the Jews of later generations, they could only prostrate themselves in front of the imperial power, bowing their heads and being willing to be their children You also have to pay attention to your posture and method at all times, because if something goes wrong, it's the end of the world Of course, as long as you pay attention to the square inch, then, even if you can't become Zhuo's and Cheng Zheng's, you can work hard towards the status of the master's family Today, he is still very tolerant of those who are willing to follow him This is also the reason why so many businessmen came to this Dragon City in groups this time.
Even if you don't come to do business, come to mix up your face, and say to Weiyang Palace: Your Majesty, what do you want to do, even if the grass people sell themselves, they will help you fulfill your wishes After returning to Xia Yi, after arriving in Longcheng, he immediately sent envoys to the entire Munan Department to announce his orders.
In each tribe, the messenger will sound the traditional chirping.
The sound of the Huns is very recognizable.
Because, the so-called Ming Di is actually similar to the blowing arrows in some primitive tribes in later generations.
It's just that the Huns made this kind of Ming Di from bones.
When it blows, the sound is sharp, like a vulture neighing.

Hearing the sound of the chirping, the large and small tribes that had long been adjusted and taught by the Huns to reflex immediately came out to greet them under the leadership of the leader.
The envoys, with their heads held high and arrogantly riding on their horses, proclaimed Shan Yu's order: "Established by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, the only clan of the Twin Clans, Guiyi Shan Yu has an order: the xx tribe is limited to arrive in Longcheng before the summer and May, and participate in the meeting of Longcheng, those who dare to disobey will be regarded as a provocation to Shan Yu's majesty, and Shan Yu will order the army to burn all the pastures of the department, kill their livestock, and stick their heads on wooden stakes to expose them to the scorching sun."
In the face of such an order, the various departments of the Makunan reacted differently.
Some scoffed, some trembled, some ambitious, and some disimpressed.
But in the end, no tribe dared to confront the messenger wherever he went.
No tribe dares to say: I will not go The reason is simple.
Because, the days of Munan can't go on Last year, a battle of swallow thistles almost destroyed the nomadic economy of the entire Makunan.
Large areas of pasture were gnawed by the livestock and men and horses of the Xiongnu army, and there was no grass left.
In order to support the war, the military ministers used coercive means to rob more than half of the livestock in the entire Makunan.
Originally, it was thought that as long as the war was won, enough food and population could be grabbed from the swallow thistle to tide over the crisis.
But unexpectedly, the battle of the thistle was a fiasco.
The Huns lost so much that they even threw their underwear in the Great Wall.
Subsequently, the retreating Xiongnu army, in order to make life a little better after returning to the Makubo, took almost all the livestock, population, and other resources they could see along the way.
The main forces of Lihu and Hulushi crossed the desert, and what was left for the Munan tribes was a mess.
Throughout the autumn and winter of last year, a terrible famine swept through Makunan.
I don't know how many people can only watch their children, their livestock and even their siblings and wives starve to death.
In some places, there have even been tragedies of cannibalism.
Only those small and medium-sized tribes who were close to the Great Wall and had already taken refuge in the Han family relied on the help and assistance of the Han family and the Han army to survive intact.
The rest of the tribes have been hit hard.
There are even tribes that have completely perished in the heavy snow of winter.
The whole race was wiped out by cold and hunger.
So much so that when the snow melted in winter, and some herdsmen drove their last remaining livestock out to graze, what he saw was a personal tragedy: many of the originally fertile pastures were full of dead people and animal carcasses.
Hungry, scrawny children, desperate mothers, and fathers struggling in the snow and ice, the corpses of a family are often piled together.
The few who survived went crazy.
They carried the bones of their loved ones and roamed the vast land.
It's a feast for all careerists.
The strength of those tribes who had survived the cold and hunger, but still had strength, quickly swelled.
As long as he can come up with food, even a small tribe of a few hundred people can attract more than ten times the population of his own tribe to join him in an instant.
As long as you stutter, there are people who are willing to make you cows and horses.
But the problem is that even today, the richest tribes, after the terrible disasters of last year's autumn and winter, are running out of food to spare.
Unless they can find a blood bag to suck blood.
In the long history of thousands of years, the rise of the nomadic peoples in the north was due to global natural disasters, forcing them to go south to plunder, and at the same time, due to global climate disasters, the powerful Central Plains Dynasty will also be overwhelmed by the peasant uprisings one after another, losing control of the border.
But the problem now is that the disaster in Makunan is a man-made disaster.
And the Central Plains Dynasty in the south is just like the sky.
It's embarrassing.
Unable to find a target to plunder, they set their sights on the surviving tribes of their own kind.
Conquest, killing, destruction and conquest spread throughout the autumn of the sixth year of Yuande and the winter of the seventh year of Yuande.
When spring comes, even the victors are exhausted and out of breath.
And the more serious problem has been placed in front of the leaders of the various departments, who no longer have the savings and strength to survive another cruel winter Even, even now this fresh grass fragrant spring, this beautiful spring.
The major tribes also felt the biting chill.
Last year, the devastating destruction of the grassland ecology by the Xiongnu army finally showed its consequences Large tracts of pasture that did not grow this spring.
More than that, there's just a little bit of greenery.
When a breeze blows, it can bring up sand and dust.
Experienced herders are terrified because they know that this is a symbol of disaster If these pastures are not well protected, then in a few years, they will be degraded or even turned into deserts Once a desert is formed, it will continue to erode and destroy the nearby ecology for decades or even centuries.
These places will be deprived of grass, and the wind and sand will be all over the sky, and they will become dead places The shamans of many tribes declared in horror that this was the punishment of the gods to the tribes, and only by praying sincerely and offering sacrifices to the satisfaction of the gods could the calamity be averted Now, even the most rebellious clan leaders know that their own tribe has reached a critical moment of life and death.

If one choice is not good, the whole race will be exterminated For nomads, to survive, to survive, to survive, to perpetuate, is their ultimate and eternal goal It was under such circumstances that no one dared to refuse Xia Yi's order.
The various tribes began to prepare to go to Dragon City.
Of course, this does not mean that they surrendered and knelt down.
It's just to go to Dragon City to have a look and see what price the Han Dynasty people can offer.
If the price is good, you can't consider being a dog for the Han Dynasty.
Even, some people have the intention of defrauding a wave of food relief and making a show.
After all, for these tribes, from their standpoint.
The problem between your Han Dynasty and the Huns is the contradiction between your twin and Liu relatives.
It's best not to offend over there.
Careerists, on the other hand, feel that maybe this is their chance.
An opportunity to replace the Xiongnu and become the overlord of the steppe In their opinion, even if the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, they would not be able to live on the grassland for a long time, and this steppe would still be returned to them.
At a time when various tribes have all kinds of thoughts and embark on the road to Dragon City.
From Yunzhong County, Shanggu County, and Wolf Mengsai, on the roads leading to Longcheng, one after another heavy-duty carriages passed through the gates of the Great Wall, transporting corn, wheat, cheese, all kinds of cloth, ceramics and even iron pots, salt, and spices to Longcheng in a steady stream.
And near Dragon City, warehouses were erected.
Countless supplies, piles full.
The sons, nephews and henchmen of the well-dressed Han businessmen sharpened their knives.
For the merchants, although everyone knows that this time they are mainly here to do things for the Son of Heaven and to drive the king.
However, it is the nature of businessmen to chase profits Not to mention In this vast grassland, there are thousands of fat sheep, if you don't slaughter a knife, how can you live up to yourself and Tao Zhugong's teachings t1706231537:
