Tragedy, the chapter name is written incorrectly and cannot be changed, it should be "thought is the constraint of expansion".
Dividing line The pace of the Central Plains' external exploration has been carried out in various ways, but it has never stopped, and it will stop the pace of outward exploration, in fact, it is still a factor of geographical limitations.
For example, since the Zhou Dynasty, the Qin Empire, which was once again unified, marched north to the foot of Yin Mountain, and the southern expedition faced the primeval jungle.
The Han Empire overcame the difficulties encountered by the Qin Empire, but the pace of expansion was blocked by plateaus and deserts in the west, boundless grasslands in the north, direct to the sea in the south, and ice and snow in the east.
Therefore, many times the Central Plains Dynasty is not actually too strong in the enemy, but really doesn't know how to continue outward.
Liu Yan knew that he would definitely encounter the difficulties encountered by his ancestors in the future, and he had been thinking about a strategy to solve them for a long time.
Later generations have proven that expansion by land is difficult, but it is relatively easy to expand after mastering sea power.
If the empire of Middle-earth wants to expand westward, the road to West Asia and Europa will be blocked by deserts or swamps after the Western Regions, so if you expand simply by land, not to mention facing deserts and swamps, the logistics and transportation will be a big trouble.
At present, Liu Yan has begun to send a fleet to explore the South China Sea, and found the Funan Kingdom and the Linyi Kingdom mentioned by the Yu clan.
Funanguo, also known as Funanguo and Bananguo, which means "mountain", is the name of an ancient kingdom that once existed on the Indochina Peninsula.
Its territory roughly corresponds to the entire territory of modern Cambodia and the areas of southern Laos, southern Vietnam, and southeastern Thailand.
It is the first Southeast Asian country in history to appear in the ancient historical books of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it is also a Southeast Asian country that often appears in ancient historical books.
Linyi is an ancient name located in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula.
The base area, the Western Han Dynasty was set up as Xianglin County, Rinan County, called Xianglinyi, omitting the elephant, so it was called Linyi.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a person named Oulian, who killed the county commander and proclaimed himself the king of Linyi.
Among the two countries, Funan is large and Linyi is small, and Linyi and the Central Plains Dynasty have a land border.
According to some information, the living customs of the Han family were still left in the country, and the ruling class used Chinese characters to speak Chinese, and the bottom was a group of slightly dark-skinned people who practiced slavery.
The so-called slightly dark-skinned Kunlun slaves are often mentioned in the Central Plains Dynasty, and they are probably the low-caste people of modern India.
This race was short in stature and generally thin, and was sold in large quantities by slave traders to the Central Plains Dynasty for a certain period of time, and became a tool for high-ranking officials and nobles to show off.
The small number of blacks who were transported from Africa to the Central Plains Dynasty were also called Kunlunnu, but the blacks from Africa were much taller and stronger than those from Nanyang.
"Although Linyi is also the old land of the Han family, it is the land that the widow will definitely recover.
But," Liu Yan was chewing on the meat skewers before continuing: "The Yu family is the first family to take the initiative to open up outward, and the widow doesn't mind letting them be the first family to obtain great benefits. ” The Yu Yi of the Yu clan has become the court lieutenant of the Han State, and this family began to make preparations for migration before the surrender of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and some of the clansmen have already gone to Penglai County, Dongmu County, Qingzhou.
Penglai County is one of the current major fleet bases of the Han Kingdom, which was originally used as a connecting island, and later became the main port of Qingzhou and Liaodong, waiting for other ports to be developed, it has reduced its strategic position and gradually evolved into the largest civilian port.
Under the rule of Liu Yan, the Han State was the main combat force, but it did not completely give up the research and development of ships, and most of the main research and construction bases were close to the Liaodong region.
The shipbuilding base will be close to Liaodong, which has far more abundant timber resources than other places in the Central Plains.
The Central Plains has repeatedly encountered wars, and in peacetime, there are emperors who build palaces, but all the thicker trees are basically either destroyed or cut down.
Liaodong was still an area rich in timber resources until more than 2,000 years AD, and now you don't need to go too deep to find suitable wood for various applications.
The Yu clan received the fulfillment of the contract from the Han State, and the ships that arrived in advance have been used for drilling.
What made the Yu clan feel depressed was that the ship they got was not the capital ship they imagined at all.
The capital ships of the Han Kingdom are all system products, and the civilian-built ships can only be said to be still in the preliminary stage, and they will be relatively small compared with the warships produced by the system, and the force is definitely not better than the warships produced by the system.
It should be noted that there is absolutely no such thing as a ship for sea navigation.
The core ministers of the Han State all knew that Liu Yan attached great importance to the sea, but they did not fully understand why Liu Yan attached importance to the sea, but simply thought that they wanted to maintain the smooth flow of the Central Plains and Liaodong.
"It turns out that the king has long had this thought" Ji Chang said what to explore in Malacca, waiting for the recovery of the old land of the Han family, and continuing to expand westward by sea.
He thought for a moment and asked, "If there are other families who are willing to open up outward, it will be like the Yu family."
The Yu clan wanted to invade Linyi, and after destroying the Linyi country, they would not build a state, and Liu Yan would entitle it again, making the Yu clan a prince who guarded the territory of the Han family in Linyi.
Their princes are all subordinate to the Han State both nominally and in fact, and some differences are that the local area is managed by Yu Yi, that is to say, although the magistrates of the land of Linyi still take the route of central delegation, they just follow a process, and at the same time, the Yu family will also have local private armies.
Ji Chang was extremely opposed to Liu Yan's agreement to the Yu clan's request, and after persuading Liu Yan several times, he insisted on fulfilling the contract, although he still resolutely objected, he endured it.
Of course, Liu Yan knew that this model of the Yu clan was a hidden danger, and the local government could also have private armies, and it was a local strong domain like the Shang Dynasty or the Zhou Dynasty.
He would agree that it was just for one reason, to leave room for some people's ambitions, to go out to attack the barbarians, not to want to do things in the Central Plains Dynasty.
As a person who has traveled through later generations, Liu Yan knows very well how the empire that never sets is formed, and does not allow the domestic nobles to invade on their own, and the nobles report to the royal family after occupying the land, and the occupied land is attributed to the state on the territory, in fact, the nobles can build an army and govern themselves in the occupied area Liu Yan firmly believes that if the central government is strong, there is no need to worry about local backlash, and the expansion in the form of the state alone cannot meet the speed of expansion, and the development must be carried out simultaneously by the state and the people.
He also firmly believes that as long as the Yu clan tastes the benefits, there will definitely be no fewer individuals or families who are attracted, and as long as he repeatedly acknowledges the development of individuals or families, not to mention the repeated expansion of the territory of the Han Kingdom, the Miao descendants of the Han family will also reproduce outward.
"What's the matter, if the Yu clan is honest, it's best, if there's anything wrong, just destroy it."
Xu Zheng really said nonchalantly: "Who doesn't even have to go out to open up any crooked brains, the center will casually find a reason to destroy it, and just return the land management rights to the state." ” In an instant, Liu Yan was stunned when he heard this.
"There ought to be set a time limit for a valid set of laws, such as how many generations after it will be state-owned, or what law should be broken to deprive it of its right to govern."
Ji Chang finished speaking with complete approval, squinted his eyes and continued: "There is no problem at all for them to ask for money, and it is not impossible to govern the place, and develop the armed forces."

Come on, this is the idea of Middle-earth with centralized power deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, talking about "I am the country", the slightest power should belong to the emperor, and it is a sin for the courtiers to develop their own force.
Liu Yan also fell into deep thought, great unification and centralization have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and some things do not seem to be so simple.
In fact, Yu Yi only said that he wanted to invade Linyi with family strength, and talked about some discussions on local governance rights, but he did not mention the matter of using the family's private army to defend it, and those were all psychological preparations made by Liu Yan.
"The king" Xun Xian appeared more suddenly, and after coming, he saluted first, and then said, "Tingwei asks to see." ” Liu Yan didn't react yet, Ji Chang and Xu Zheng looked at each other and smiled.
Yu Yi was led over behind him, and when he saw Ji Chang and Xu Zheng present, the three of them sat around the grill and barbecued by themselves, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and they were very shocked in their hearts Ji Chang and Xu Zheng's friendship with the king.
"Add a seat to Yu Qing."
After Liu Yan finished speaking, he beckoned Yu Yi to his side and asked, "Why hasn't Yu Qing's court clothes been changed yet?"
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yu Yi immediately embarked on the road home, but when he walked to the door of the house, he turned back, naturally he had not changed his court clothes.
He has been thinking about the future of his family recently, especially after becoming the court lieutenant of the Han Kingdom, he has been thinking even more.
The Yu clan wanted to migrate out and invade Linyi, the background was that they were squeezed out by the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and at the same time, they were hesitant to defect to the Han Kingdom, and did not want to bear the reputation of being a traitor and traitor.
Now, because of the disturbance of the Huan clan, no matter how much effort the Yu clan exerts in the battle of Jiankang, in fact, the traitor and the traitor Yu clan are decided.
After many things have become established facts, Yu Yi has thought about it for a long time, and even regrets that he once said that he wanted the family to move out, if he didn't want to do it, he really didn't want to do it.
"The minister came to see the king for the family's invasion of Linyi."
Yu Yi had already saluted the king and his colleagues, and before he sat down, he was courteous, waiting to kneel down completely, and continued: "The minister thinks that some things must be agreed by the king. ” Liu Yan and the other three were talking about this matter just now, but what they didn't expect was that Yu Yi would come over later.
Xu Zheng was still barbecuing with a big grin, and even beckoned the palace maid to get more beef skewers, as if all his attention was on the deliciousness.
Ji Chang was originally holding a wine jug to drink grape wine, but after a pause, he glanced at Yu Yi as if he had unintentionally, and saw that Yu Yi's expression was firm, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Invade Linyi" Liu Yan put down the things in his hand, made a listening gesture, and said, "Yu Qing, come on." ” Yu Yi introduced the preparations of the family, and the baggage and private soldiers were very detailed, and he also explained everything about the navy in training, and he spoke for a long time before pointing out the meaning: "The minister thinks carefully, although there will be trouble in invading Linyi, occupying Linyi will definitely become a fact."
The minister thought that the imperial court should send officials to accompany him, and after conquering a place, he set up a county, waiting for the destruction of the forest, and begged the king to reward the local land of the warriors who went to war, so that they could multiply in the local area. ” To put it plainly, the Yu clan contributed money and work to destroy the Linyi State, the local governance power is gone, and even the private army will be disbanded, and how much land is still centralized and unified, the local officials are appointed by the center, and the local garrison is also the national army.
"Tingwei Gaoyi" Ji Chang said loudly, with full admiration: "The Yu Gongding Association celebrities are in history, and the Yu family will be rich and noble for a hundred generations."
Liu Yan glanced at Ji Chang with some reproach.
He hadn't even spoken yet, but Ji Chang had set the tone first, what was the matter.
Yu Yi smiled bitterly: "The Hu people have been ravaging the Central Plains for decades, and my generation is incompetent and has not expelled the Hu Lu, and I just want to atone for my sins and contribute to the reproduction of the Han family." ” Liu Yan understood what Yu Yi was thinking, the Yu clan must have discussed again and again, and came to a conclusion such as "don't look for death by yourself", so he simply continued to do it with the power of the family to destroy Linyi, and what reward he would get completely depended on how generous the king was.
"Chang thinks that after destroying Linyi, the Yu family should have a big fief and enjoy the preferential treatment of tax exemption, and the Yu Duke will be a marquis."
Ji Chang looked at Liu Yan with a pleading face, and only said that the Yu clan would give in by himself, so Liu Yan didn't do anything else, and asked with eager expectations: "What does the king think?"
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of ideology, Liu Yan is not afraid of the outward expansion of the family against the central government, it is not that he has not thought about the pattern after his death, but he thinks that if the descendants of the future generations are incompetent or make people angry, it is a sure thing that the dynasty will be overthrown, whether it will be overthrown by local forces or destroyed by the vassals outside.
The thousand-year-old empire is not nothing, but it is really too little and too little, Liu Yan is completely unsure whether the system can be inherited, he is fully mentally prepared, and deeply feels that the dynasty cannot be destroyed by a foreign race, and it is best to replace it with the same Miao descendant at least rotten in the pot.
"The widow knows."
Liu Yan didn't want to express his position at all, he had to think about it carefully, waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about political affairs today, the secretaries have a good time with the widow." ” I don't know when it started to snow outside, but the snowflakes fell from the sky, so if you don't have anything to worry about, it's actually a nice pleasure to watch the snow while eating a barbecue.
The four people in a circle have their own thoughts, and their mouths will talk constantly, and what they say will be less attentive, and sometimes they will even fall into an awkward silence.
"Your Majesty."
Xun Xian appeared again, he saluted with a strange face, and said: "Meiyang Hou and Xinping Hou and others have fought."
Of course, Liu Yan knew who those two Hou were, and asked in surprise: "Who else is Ran Min and Huan Wen, and why are they fighting":
