It is natural to do things for whoever eats, and to hold the food of this person and the heart of that person, this kind of behavior is called a rebel.
Whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, enjoying the benefits produced by their own people, but considering the happy life of the people of other countries, then those who do it may be praised by the international community, but in fact they are sending away their own benefits, if they can exchange any benefits, it is fine, but just a reputation, or a personal reputation, it must be said that it is really not something that a ruler should do.
Liu Yan remembers one thing, it seems that in the United States, in an election year, there is a thought that the candidate is inferior to the other candidate in any aspect, and the candidate who is in an advantageous position makes a vague speech when it comes to the United States' foreign maritime policy, and then the candidate who is behind in the polls seizes the opportunity.
What is the opportunity is that the candidate who is lagging behind in the polls interprets the interpretation of the contestant with the advantage in the polls, saying that those contestants with the advantage will take care of the people of the world, and also buys some media at home and abroad to praise the contestant with the advantage in the polls.
When it came to election day, something surprising happened, the candidate who thought he was winning the election was lost, not only was he stunned, but also the selected team was stunned, the domestic polls were so high, and there was a lot of praise and expectation abroad, there was no reason to lose the election In fact, the voters want to choose a leader who can be responsible for themselves, not the president of the United Nations, and in front of the president of the United States, they want to worry about the happiness and well-being of the people of other countries, and no one wants to be such a leader.
At the time, one voter put it more bluntly, saying that he would rather vote for a bastard who would take care of his own citizens than for the president of Our Lady who takes the taxpayers' money of his country to take care of the whole world.
There is competition between countries in the first place, and it is understandable to make arrangements for the sake of grabbing benefits, but if you pay for free, it is tantamount to cultivating potential opponents.
Liu Yan knew that the Central Plains Dynasty had been doing things to cultivate opponents, and it was actually okay until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, followed by Li Tang who first cultivated Tubo and then fed the Hui, Zhao and Song Dynasty successively cultivated Jurchen, Shangdang, and Mongolia, and Zhu Ming cultivated wild boar skin.
The contemporary Han people are also the generation that distrusts foreign races the most, but they are in sync with Liu Yan's ideas, so they will not care about the life or death of any non-Han people.
For example, the last time Tuyuhun came to kneel and lick, he was ignored by the Han State, if he was replaced by Li Tang, Zhao Song, and Zhu Ming, he should be happy, maybe as long as the name of a suzerain, it may also be accepted as a confined area, and then it will continue to nourish Tuyuhun carefully and silently, and one day when Tuyuhun chops it with a knife, he will be angry or helpless to scold.
Some areas around Zhuxia are very evil, as if they are just to raise a group of two or five boys, cowards, and enemies, which have been tested again and again by history, and similar things have been staged in almost all dynasties, such as the family in Shandong that will always take the lead in surrendering, and the ambitious people in the north of Liaodong who are waiting to turn over and be the master.
After Liu Yan arrived in Fanyang, he was once again able to use the gallop road to hurry, which was Zhuo County of Fanyang County all the way to Gaoxian County of Xuansu County.
This road was built in the seventh year of Yuanshuo, and it can be regarded as completed after three years.
The main responsibility is to transport troops and baggage.
There is another gallop road in Liaodong, which runs from Ma Shijin to Gaoxian County.
If Zhuoxian to Gaoxian is mainly aimed at supporting the northeast from the counties in the north, then Ma Shijin's one is actually for the south of the Yangtze River.
The current Hainan navigation of the Han Kingdom has slowly developed, and the most priority for transporting supplies from the south is to take the sea route, which can go ashore from Qingdao, the port of Changguang County, or enter the Yangtze River and take the inland waterway to transport it to the nearest inland.
If you want to transport supplies from the south or bring them back, you can take a boat from Mashijin and then go to a nearby port in various places.
"There is already output in the Northeast."
Sang Yu made a special understanding and said: "Last year, 400,000 stone of various grains were shipped back, and this year it has suddenly increased to 6 million stone. ” The Han Kingdom began to develop Northeast China in the ninth year of Yuan Shuo, and there were not many people who went to the country, only some people with the courage to take risks chose to immigrate there, and the main labor force was actually slaves from Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, and the other was to absorb the Japanese people from the Wa Islands.
Liu Yan attaches great importance to the development of the Northeast Plain, and pays attention to the situation there from time to time, and clearly remembers that there are nearly 2.5 million slaves there, in addition to the people who destroyed the three countries on the peninsula, the labor force from the Japanese Islands, and the capture of nearly 100,000 Northeast savages.
"There are also various types of production, mainly medicines and furs."
Sang Yu brought a robe from the Northeast in his salute, and I heard that it was made of white fluff from a fox, which was warm and fashionable: "Ginseng is the most valuable medicine."
He said but looked at Liu Yan, what is ginseng is what Liu Yan specifically mentioned.
Liu Yan is recalling, he knows a lot of Northeast specialties, you must know that after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Central Plains Dynasty wants to build a palace and draw materials, and the eyes can only stare at the Northeast, where there are more than a dozen people who need to hug the big trees.
"Overseas, there are pearls along the coastline of the Sea of Japan, and when the season arrives, several inland rivers casually cast their nets and return with a full load."
Liu Yan can think of so much, he also knows that China's largest oil field is also there, but he thought of being able to conquer Central Asia and East Asia, and actually didn't pay much attention to the Daqing oil field: "Last year, I didn't catch countless fish, and the fish eggs over there are a rare specialty." ” When it comes to modern times, in addition to natural gas and oil, Russia's specialties are caviar in the Far East.
"Caviar" Yu Yi is no stranger to seafood, and fish is indispensable on the table of southerners: "It is indeed delicious." ” How big is the territory of a country, how many specialties will be, this group of people in power led by Liu Yan, because of their identity, status and power, they have found that whatever specialties are given priority supply, they have eaten all kinds of melons from the Western Regions, and have eaten all kinds of fruits and seafood from the South Seas, Curry's collection of ginseng from the Northeast has been in the millennium since the year, Liu Yan even raised two white bears from the Arctic to explore North America and set foot in the Bering Strait, but he died one after another.
Yu Yi didn't eat caviar when the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was still there, and he didn't eat it until the Han Kingdom began to explore the sea, and it was really the most delicious caviar produced in the Northeast in comparison.
"The minister is more fond of pomegranates."
Sang Yu still said with an evocative expression: "It's a pity that it comes from Persia." ” Well, the pomegranate really originated in Persia, but it was transplanted to their homes by the Romans, and it is not a Persian specialty.
Sang Yu's attitude has only one meaning, looking forward to when Persia will become the pomegranate breeding garden of the Han Dynasty.
"I prefer olives."
Lu Tai was completely in the fun, not afraid of big things, and used a covetous expression: "It's a pity that it's from Daqin." ” There are few specialties in any place, and bananas are still abundant in the Indochina Peninsula and Luzon Islands, but those places have become the bowl of the Han Dynasty, and everyone will not mention it.
The primitive desire of human exploration is to get more food, and to have a large enough territory to master more food sources, that is the reason why primitive humans slowly went out of Africa.
The reason why the country expands its territory is to become a resource, first of all, it must have a large enough territory to grasp the basic conditions that can make the country strong, and the description of the term is a kind of resource accumulation, and having enough resources can enhance its own strength and open up a larger territory.
In terms of the scientific and technological level of the current era, many things cannot be made at all, but not being able to build them now does not mean that they cannot be made after scientific and technological progress, so it makes sense that Liu Yan insists on expansion.
"We did explore rubber."
Seeing that everyone was confused, Liu Yan briefly introduced what kind of specialty rubber is, and especially named that there are only three places in the world where rubber can be produced, among which the Indochina Peninsula and the Nanyang Islands are the largest, accounting for 70% of the world's even in modern times: "It is a very special material, but now we can directly use it to make tires." ” Don't underestimate rubber, when the technology is not enough, it can only be made into rubber, but many scientific and technological extensions are really inseparable from its existence, and plastic science is also a part of supporting modern science.
There is already a carriage using rubber on the side of the new Chang'an, which is one of Liu Yan's toys.
Everyone has seen a car with rubber tires, even if they haven't experienced it personally, they know what kind of existence it is, simply put, it is to reduce bumps, or even if the shock absorption device is good, there will still be obvious bumps.
When the development of rubber-related material technology to a certain extent, it and oil will become the most important strategic resources, simply take an example, after the blockade of Germany during World War II, the lack of rubber resources has to rely on metal materials, but also thanks to Sweden has been supplying German iron ore, at that time, the German wheels that were extremely lacking in rubber were completely iron, and military vehicles were simply either full tracks, or half tracks, in fact, it was not a good track style, it was a special lack of rubber, and it was so lacking that more than the wheels were made of ironEven some wires that require rubber to be used as insulators are simply useless.
Liu Yan is talking to them about those now, they have not been exposed to and there is no related concept, which is no different from listening to the book of heaven.
"In short, it is an indispensable strategic resource.
And we have at least 70 percent of the world's resources.

Liu Yan didn't talk about oil, the Han State controlled many islands and seas in the Indochina Peninsula and the Asian part of the Pacific Ocean, which also contained rich oil resources: "The Han has been looking for the super island further south of Luzon, as long as it can be found, about 20% of the world's iron ore resources will be in the hands of the Han." ” The concept of course comes from the unreliable world map drawn by Liu Yan, knowing that there are seven continents and two oceans in the world, and the current territory of the Han Kingdom only accounts for less than 7% of the world's land area.
The so-called 7 percent is to include the Indochina Peninsula and the Nanyang Islands, and the mainland area alone may be less than 4 percent.
"Don't look at the vast land of Zhuxia, the resources in the world are really very, very small compared to other places."
Liu Yan didn't tell a lie, the root of the vast land and abundant resources is to deceive others and deceive himself: "We have some advantages and resources. ” If you want to say what resources are the most abundant in the old land of Zhuxia, you have to say that it is rare earth, tungsten, molybdenum, tin, mercury, and antimony.
However, the current Han people do not know what rare earths, tungsten, molybdenum, tin, mercury, antimony, especially antimony are the most abundant in the world.
But these resources may not actually be of much use to people today, even in a few hundred years.
It's because there are some resources and the development of science and technology can be more even, if the Indians have not discovered that copper has not opened the bronze technology, and then has not extended out of the Iron Age, it is really called a tragedy.
"Just like them," Yu Yi pointed to a group of slaves in animal skins: "There are so many resources, but they still live in the ancient Stone Age. ” The group of slaves who were instructed by Yu Yi came from the north of Liaodong, including the Northeast Plain, and each of them looked robust, but they were in the era of fishing and hunting.
I have to admit that the physical fitness of the savages in the Northeast is really just, and that is because the congenital system is weak and will be eliminated by nature, and what is left behind is not excellent genes They had arrived in Gaoxian County, where they could see the rushing water, and looked from south to north, east, and west, and saw that there were no woods or woods, and a large number of slaves were doing the work of logging and transporting timber.
"They're very unruly."
Lu Tai was fully qualified to say this: "The captives are still difficult to tame, and a batch must be killed every month. ” The savages living in the Northeast, they are born to fight against the sky, and if they want to live, they have to fight with wild beasts, and they are indispensable in their bones, and they are indeed difficult to tame.
"Further northeast, autumn is cold."
Liu Yan is talking about the climate with a modern impression, even if it is different now, it will not be different: "In the bitter cold land, it is natural to raise a group of such people." ” Earlier, Yan Di still lacked generous and tragic people, but if there is a bloody and brave king to lead, basically they can do something great, for example, the king of Yan in the Spring and Autumn Period took that group of brave people to teach Donghu a hard lesson, so that there was Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong, otherwise it should still be nested in the west of Lishui.
"Those savages" Liu Yan thought of something very bad, and he didn't lower his voice: "It's all about it." ” The accompanying historians understood and recorded: On September 23, the tenth year of Yuan Shuo, the king said, "To the north and east of Liaodi, it is difficult for savages to obey the king, and they should be a clan." ”。
