From Liu Yuan's establishment of the Xiongnu Han State, to Liu Yao's change of the country name to Zhao Qianzhao, and then Shi Le's killing of the Xiongnu Zhao State to inherit the Zhao State and the Zhao State after the Zhao State, waiting for Shi Hu to kill Shi Hong, the countries established by the Hu people have implemented a policy in the Central Plains for decades.
Because of the incompetence of Sima 1 Jin, the Hu people fully occupied the Central Plains for the first time.
After the Hu people became the rulers of the Central Plains, they did not like the presence of villages and towns everywhere, and made a policy to transform the Central Plains into a large pasture.
The original Han and Miao descendants had no sense of security all the time, and were to be plundered and killed by the Hu people, a large number of people fled to the deep mountains and old forests, and there were large clans in various places to build dock forts or walled cities, and all parts of the Central Plains were only left in some cities under the transformation of the Hu people, and careful gathering places such as villages could only be found in the mountains and forests.
It can be said that under the persistence of the Hu people for decades, the Central Plains really has a tendency to become a large ranch.
Take Xiangguo as an example, the infrastructure of this big city is not very good, except for the palace city, there are mansions everywhere, but the outer no-man's land is radiating out for nearly 200 miles.
The Han State never had the idea of reserving a no-man's land, the barrenness of the countryside and the abundance of wild beasts was a trouble, and the most important thing that the Han army did in various places was to capture and hunt fierce beasts in an organized and large-scale manner, so as not to make fierce beasts an obstacle to smooth traffic.
In addition to the Han army capturing and hunting beasts, the local government also encouraged the common people to hunt, and the people with a little courage killed animals to eat their meat, and were able to sell their fur, skins, and tendons to the government, which was more or less a way to improve rations and increase income.
In these years, the fur, skin, and tendons can not only be used in the manufacture of luxury goods, but also many military equipment that need to be used on animals, such as wool can be woven into felt, leather is used as leather to make armor, and tendons can be used to make special rope sleeves in addition to the strings of bows.
Because of the Hu people's national policy of creating large pastures, there are many animal species in the countryside to the point of exaggeration, and some rare animals are not lacking at all, and some of the furs produced are definitely a big entry to sell to the nobles who began to pursue a better life.
Xu Zheng has hunted a lot of foxes and minks, and specially made them into shawls to send to the palace, which is very loved by the beauties of the harem.
He even hunted a lot of tigers, took off the tiger whip and dedicated it to his colleagues, and every time the tiger whip was delivered, he would attach a letter urging people to hurry up and disperse, which really made many people cry and laugh.
The beasts in the Miyagi forest garden are rounded up and hunted again and again, and it is difficult to find them, and if you want to slaughter bears, tigers, leopards, jackals, wolves and other animals, you need to go to the area where they stay.
Liu Yan and Xu Zheng went on the hunt, Ji Chang was a spectator, hunted for a while, and the most ferocious animals were only wild boars, and the rest were some gentle animals, most of the prey was found in their nests, who made it now a snowy winter.
Waiting for the rest time, some palace maids began to get busy, collecting firewood, fiddling with stoves and various utensils, and there were often people who needed to handle game, and some cloth walls and canopies to protect them from the wind.
"It's a good location."
Xu Zheng's dress was basically messy, and the sleeve of his left hand was still torn.
He was already sitting on a thick cushion and looked around: "It is refreshing to be able to watch the snow in the forest and the wilderness."
The ground was covered with a thick carpet, the table that should have been placed has been placed, and the palace maid has long been making tea on the fire, and the three of them have been wandering around for more than an hour and finally stopped in one place without moving.
Ji Chang was very speechless for Xu Zheng opening his eyes and talking nonsense, their location was next to a forest, there was indeed a clearing outside, but the open space was not wide, and then there was a group of palaces everywhere that were bright silver because they were covered with snow, and there were layers of palace guards on the periphery, and there were many barriers to the wind, where did the wilderness come from.
"Mood, the minister said that the heart is relaxed and happy, which means the mood."
Xu Zheng saw Liu Yan looking at himself with teasing eyes, and he was deliberately gagging: "The minister has recently had a special experience in cooking wild meat, so he will cook it with his own hands and dedicate it to the king to taste."
"Captain."
Ji Chang sulked his face and said, "The court clothes are damaged." ” The damage to the court clothes can be big or small, and at worst, it is a big disrespectful crime, but Xu Zheng didn't care at all, twisted up the broken sleeves, pulled some holes on his body, and said with a shy face: "The king saw it with his own eyes, Lao Xu didn't mean to make it like this." ” After some hunting, and Xu Zheng kept gagging, Liu Yan's depressed mood was somewhat better.
The only sin of disrespect in the laws of the Han Kingdom that could be torn to the court clothes was broken, and if the king wanted to deal with whomever he wanted, the sin of disrespect could be applied to all aspects.
Therefore, the crime of disrespect is a cure-all, often used by the ministers to disgust each other, and it is also an easy excuse for the king to really want to deal with whomever he wants.
Nowadays, there are not many cooking techniques, but barbecue is a method that has existed since ancient times, and the difference over time is nothing more than adding some spices.
The Western Regions were occupied by the Central Plains Dynasty, and other benefits were not so obvious, and contributing various spices to the Central Plains was one of the greater benefits.
Really counted, the development of the Western Regions is definitely the foundation of the "Great Foodie Dynasty", because all kinds of spices are really transmitted from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, so that the "Central Country" can have more methods and means of preparation for the diversification of food.
In the past, barbecue was coated with honey and enjoyed the top-notch, but with a variety of peppers, the number of condiments that stimulate the taste buds increased, and the method of barbecue also evolved.
For Liu Yan, how can eating barbecue without chili peppers, all barbecue without spicy is considered defective.
He regrets that there is no beer now, and the top liquor of the Chinese Miao descendants is some muddy liquor, or some fruit wine, and the more distinctive ones are only wine.
Eating barbecue with liquor, fruit wine, and wine can't taste the flavor at all, and what Liu Yan is only unaccustomed to is that people nowadays like to use wine to improve their style when eating all kinds of things, and they don't know the correct way to match wine at all.
Besides, Liu Yan doesn't like wine either, sour is one thing, the more you drink, the more thirsty you are, and then you just want to get drunk and drink a lot, and the stamina of getting drunk is extremely uncomfortable.
Today's famous wines, Nanling tulips, Du Kang wine, and French wine can all be regarded as Cao Cao's short song line "How to solve worries, only Du Kang" makes Du Kang wine more famous.
In fact, the history of Nanling tulip wine is longer, and it can be traced back to the Warring States Period, which was the famous wine of Chu at that time.
French liquor is divided into several periods and types, mainly referring to the liquor made in accordance with the requirements of the government.
Monarchs, in this era of "I am the world", there must be a share of the king, and even some things will become exclusive to the king, in short, there are absolutely some rare things.
In particular, there is no distillation method, and no liquor can be as clear as plain water, but it is actually a turbid liquid.
"Spicy, spicy, spicy, spicy" Xu Zheng really did his own barbecue, the problem was that he couldn't tell which of the several chili peppers was the hottest.
He ate it himself after the barbecue, looking rude but looking very sensible, after all, he couldn't just like a king offering food.
After choking on the spicy enough, he quickly ran to Ji Chang's desk, scooped up a pot of grape stuffed beef drink on it, and gasped behind him: "What kind of pepper is it, it's too spicy."
Ji Chang was speechless again, even if he was familiar to a certain extent, the captain of a dignified country could be like this, can't he take a few more steps to drink on his desk Liu Yan rarely pursues anything other than opening up the territory, and if he has to count it, he should collect all kinds of plant-based food materials.
He specially asked Xie Ai to ask his friends in Xiliang to collect all kinds of spices from the Western Regions, and at the same time, if there were no ones in the Central Plains, he would get some.
The Han Kingdom has always been very strong, and the Han Kingdom and the Zhang Liang Kingdom have entered a period of friendship, Xie Ai doesn't know how many friends he has pleased, and there are really a lot of plant seeds collected, Liu Yan asked people to try to cultivate them in Linzi, some of them are adapted to the east soil to survive and grow, and more are cultivation failures.

In fact, Liu Yan can't tell the names of all the spices, for example, he doesn't know the name of at least one of the seven kinds of chili peppers, but he just distinguishes which one is spicy.
"I don't have a name, it's not from Middle-earth anyway, it's all a prefix with a Hu character."
Liu Yan said the correct explanation, he said nonchalantly: "courgette, walnut, bean, pepper, shallot, garlic, carrot" Now the Han State can call itself the Great Han, the Eastern Soil, and the Middle Earth to the outside world, and generally only Westerners will call the Eastern Earth, and the Han State itself claims to be the Great Han and the Middle Earth at most.
Xu Zheng was a little stunned and asked: "Courgette, bean, pepper, shallot, and garlic know what they are, but carrots haven't heard of it." ” Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, the carrots really haven't been passed over at present, and he doesn't know when the carrots were introduced to the "Central Country".
The origin of carrots is modern Ah 1 Fu 1 Khan, there are two kinds of yellow radishes and red radish, and it took until the 12th century AD to spread to the Central Plains.
"The ancestors of the past generations have continued to open up outwards, and they have obtained countless new species, which is really the luck of our people."
Ji Chang didn't forget that incident, Shi Hu strictly forbade people in the world to mention Hu characters, Hu people became Chinese people, and many food categories were forced to change their names.
He said with a very emotional expression: "Our generation should follow in the footsteps of our ancestors, and we must take new steps." ” "Of course, of course" Xu Zheng said sonorously: "Waiting for the restoration of the old land of the Han family, we must kill it to the west to take a look." ” Now no one really knows what the Western Regions are further west, and at the same time that the Eastern Han Dynasty was finished, the Kushan Empire and the Anxi Empire also hiccuped one after another, and the Roman Empire was also divided into two.
In fact, in the early days, the Central Plains Dynasty really thought that the "world" in addition to itself was also the surrounding barbarians and small countries, and it was the Western Han Dynasty that expanded to the Western Regions to have contact with the Anxi Empire, and knew that the Dayue clan, which was almost wiped out by the Huns, established a country, and was in a state of ignorance about the Roman Empire.
The contact between the Western Han Dynasty and the Anxi Empire was full of epic colors, and the Anxi Emperor knew that the Han envoy was coming, so he sent a cavalry of 20,000 people to meet him thousands of miles away.
At that time, the Han envoy was very surprised to see that there were 20,000 elite cavalry who came to greet him, and then walked thousands of miles under the protection of the rest cavalry, and saw a populous and rich country along the way.
After he returned to China to pay his respects, the Han Empire's conclusion on the rest was that it was strong.
What the Han Empire didn't expect was that the very powerful Rest Empire was actually being pressed to the ground by the Roman Empire.
In the same way, the Anxi Empire has long known that the Han Empire is a country that has to move the Huns to the point where they have to move thousands of miles, and the reason why the Han envoys will send 20,000 armor cavalry is actually afraid that after the Han Empire conquers the Western Regions, it will continue to expand westward, deter with a strong military force, and arrange for the Han envoys to go to the more prosperous areas to show their national strength.
According to the description of the wild history, after knowing that it was recognized by the Han Empire, the Anshan Empire once wanted to borrow troops from the Han Empire to resist the invasion of the Roman Empire, but the Han Empire refused because of the long distance, but the Kushan Empire at that time really sent troops to help the Anxi Empire resist the Romans.
"The Western Wusun is still alive, and in place of the Sabbatical Empire is the Sassanid Empire, which was once divided into nine kingdoms."
Liu Yan actually didn't know how many of them were divided, he saw that Ji Chang and Xu Zheng were listening attentively, and he opened his mouth to say most of the nonsense: "Some of the great powers that used to be in the west of the Sassanid Empire were all destroyed, such as Armenia, Ptolemy, Carthage, etc., all of which were destroyed by the Romans.
If the Han Dynasty expands westward in the future, the first powerful country it will face is the Sassanid group of people who are obsessed with religion, religion, belief and worship. ” The reason why Liu Yan is talking nonsense is that the Sassanid Dynasty is not obsessed with sects, religions, beliefs, and admiration at all, and it is necessary to wait for the collapse of the Sassanid Dynasty to have a vast A1 La, 1 Bo, 1 person, 1 Lan, 1 Lan, 1 Machete, and 1 Macimitar in one hand.
Even if any classic book in the Central Plains records the things going west in the Western Regions, it will only be brought in a few strokes.
It was so difficult to find similar books that Ji Chang and Xu Zheng were fascinated when they heard Liu Yan talking nonsense according to his vague memories.
"It is not easy to expand westward by land, to the Western Regions is everywhere in the Gobi, the further west you go, the more desolate it becomes, in addition to a vast desert blocking the way, there is also a road full of swamps."
Liu Yan said that the swampy area is the central region of Russia and Russia in later generations: "Nowadays, there are only some primitive people in those places, who are really wild people who drink blood, they live a primitive life, and they probably still use stone tools, but they are very tall and strong. ” "It's like people like those in the depths east of Liaodong," Ji Chang said, referring to some primitive tribes of Tunguska, and asked, "If you take the sea route, can you easily conquer the local people?"
How to answer this called Liu Yan If you have a sea route, there is a systematic map, although it will be troublesome to find the route, but you will definitely be able to find the Ma 161 Strait, and it is very difficult to say whether it is good to conquer it:
