To put it mildly, if the Han people refuse to accept women of different races, I don't know how many people have to fight as a bachelor for the rest of their lives, or the phenomenon of marrying a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Han girl at the age of forty or fifty has become a common thing.
There has always been a large gap in the ratio of Han men to women, and since the ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the country's wars have ostensibly been aimed at expanding territory, but in fact no one is embarrassed to say that they are engaged in population plunder.
The Han people first rushed into the Indochina Peninsula, and the foreign races were caught one by one, and the male aliens must be used as slaves, and the fate of the female aliens was much more complicated.
There are many yellow people in Indochina, but there are even more dark-skinned people there.
To put it mildly, the Han people's ability to accept dark skin is quite large.
It is the dignitaries who can keep their skin fair, and the common people need to work every day, and their skin will turn dark when they are exposed to the sun for a long time, and the people do not have much resistance to accepting dark-skinned alien women.
"There is no shortage of female slaves from Indochina."
Ji Chang said with an extremely satisfied expression: "The men over there are very unbearable, but the women are actually quite good." ” Men in Indochina are basically too lazy to die, while women are very diligent.
The Han people never look at their appearance when they marry a wife, but to see whether their wives can run a family.
They found that the Indochina women they got were wives who could run the house, even if their facial features were different from those of the Han women, their hearts were beautiful.
Liu Yan was actually quite speechless, he knew that those male monkeys in later generations were indeed very unbearable, but he didn't expect it to be so unbearable if it wasn't in modern times, it turned out to be like this in ancient times.
"The minister has asked the ministers to do an investigation."
Ji Chang decided to use data to speak: "The survey shows that more than nine percent of the people are satisfied, and only one percent are dissatisfied.
Dissatisfaction is the feeling that some customs are not the same. ” Is that a cold joke Liu Yanle was happy, and the ministers who came over to thank him also laughed cooperatively.
In fact, even if the phenomenon of Han people "ten miles of different sounds and a hundred miles of different customs" is absolutely common, then it is not an obstacle for women of different races to not understand Chinese, and customs are very important for Han people.
Today is the second day of the first month of the thirteenth year of Yuanshuo, and after a night of being called emperor and rewarded, whether Liu Yan is willing to reward him, or whether the reward meets his expectations, the act of thanking must be there.
One after another, people entered the palace to thank him, and according to the process, Liu Yan needed to set up a banquet.
Thirty-seven marquis, some of them came to thank them one after another, and now they are arranged in the circular seats of the Zhangtai, and they are sitting in the shape of Liu Yan, a guard.
During the Chinese New Year, not only do the people need to rest, but the officials also have a month's rest.
There is not much time for the people to be happy, depending on the family situation, some families are poor and self-motivated people, they will start to work after three days of rest, even if they are still living a good life, at most they will rest until the ninth day of the first month.
Officials have a one-month vacation, but in fact, many officials do not take consecutive vacations, and after the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, they rotate with their colleagues.
Some officials sat on duty as usual after the ninth day of the new year.
Everyone in the world has time to rest, but Liu Yan will not have a day off, such as today's banquet is also part of work.
Liu Yan was holding a banquet to entertain his ministers, and Cui Wan was also hosting a banquet on the other side.
Cui Wan is dealing with those wives of the Hou Ye, and what she hasn't done in the past will be done today.
The so-called thing is to give them an edict, and Cui Wan will give them an edict of equal treatment as a queen, and women who have a decree can also receive a fortune every month.
"Indochina Peninsula is a treasure trove" Xu Zheng had a hangover last night, and he didn't sleep for a while before entering the palace again, if he wasn't wearing incense clothes, he would definitely smell of wine: "It's a very good place" It is a certain thing to drink a few cups during the New Year, and it is more than a few cups when you encounter a happy event, one of the thirty-seven marquis is counted as one, and they all drank a lot last night, if they didn't need to enter the palace the next day, Xie En must have drunk to the extent that Ning was drunk.
Only a few of them did not wear incense clothing, and one of them was Ran Min.
"That's Your Majesty's grace."
Although Ran Min was covered in the smell of alcohol, and he didn't sleep all night last night, he was very energetic: "Everyone who rushed over made a fortune."
The crowd laughed again.
The Indochina Peninsula is the first paradise after the Han people stepped out of the old land of the Han family, and the first to enter was the army, and the later army became the Dinghai Shenpin.
The so-called Dinghaishen Needle is never lightly moved, otherwise how can it be called Dinghaishen Needle, it will be cheaper for some daring people.
Military plunder is a mode of confiscation and redistribution, while private individuals are taxed.
The distribution model of the army is basically 60% confiscation, how much a soldier plunders can be divided into 40%, and the soldiers who do not marry wives are allocated high-quality alien women according to the amount of merit, and if there is really no merit, they can be purchased in the army at a price far less than that of the people.
Private plundering teams, their tax collection is relatively complicated, luxury goods are subject to up to 80% of the tax, non-luxury goods are taxed 30%, and food items are not taxed.
In fact, the high tax on luxury goods is a very reasonable thing, they can be sold for a large price themselves, and the buyers will also be rich, an ordinary item can be sold for 15 baht, but a luxury item can be sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of five baht, even if it is charged eighty percent of the tax, the seller can still get far more five baht than ordinary items.
The official will set a high tax on luxury goods, in fact, it is also to curb and crack down on the luxury goods trade.
The level of civilization in Indochina is not high, and when the Han people plundered there, most of the time they actually couldn't grab anything too valuable, and they could get luxury goods either by taking the shit luck and just grabbing a house built with jade rough or other rough stones, or by the fact that the indigenous village happened to be able to pan for gold, or it was really impossible to grab any luxuries.
In the early stage, the army and private plundering teams could still have a good harvest of supplies, but then they were basically robbed, and their eyes were fixed on the indigenous population.
Relevant data show that after the Han people stormed the Indochina Peninsula, they created economic benefits of more than one million and a half baht in a short period of time, which was based on the premise of discovering many jade mines, gold mines and many precious timber.
It can be said that as long as the Han people who went to the Indochina Peninsula, none of them returned to China in poverty, not only did the people who went there get rich, but the country also ate and burped.
Economic gain is only one thing, plundering a large number of people is actually more valued by the state.
It is said that the labor force captured from Indochina has alleviated the labor shortage in the country, and it is relatively important to solve the marriage problem of at least 300,000 bachelors.
Paying taxes must be paid, and without the strength of the country behind them, it will not be their turn to rob them unscrupulously.

Private individuals must not say why they should share profits from the fruits of their labor, the situation is that the country's army is open, and there is also a strong country behind it.
If the country is not strong and robs another country, believe it or not, the country that was robbed will send someone to arrest and give an explanation With the example of the Indochina Peninsula, it is the reason why the repeated wars with foreign countries have not met with much opposition.
The latter faced the Western Regions was another model, in which the state came forward to organize, with the regular army as the auxiliary, and the civilian forces as the main force.
"The example of the Western Regions is good."
Xu Zheng is in charge of military affairs, and he can see quite a lot of data: "The cost of state funds is only to carry out the necessary armament and clothing uniformity, and the burden in the early stage, and the capital contribution is only 15 million and a half baht." ” If an army were to be sent, the preparation of 50,000 troops would not be just fifteen million and five baht, but at least 80 million and a half baht, or even more.
Eighty million five baht will only be the first batch of expenditures, and there will be many subsequent expenses, depending on the progress of the war and whether it is smooth or not, it will not be too strange to spend hundreds of millions of five baht after the battle of the Western Regions.
The simplest example is that Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty made three expeditions to the Western Regions, the first time saving some money that only cost 80 million and a half baht, the second time it increased to 200 million and a half baht, and the third time it was more than 300 million and a half baht.
And the repeated dispatch of troops, at most, will not exceed 20,000, not counting the people who bring their own dry food.
The Han family started the national war has always been to see the benefits, even if the Western Han Dynasty fought the Xiongnu in order to take revenge, but also noticed the expenditure and harvest, said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a poor soldier, why not take a look at how many people enthusiastically brought their own dry food to follow the army to go on the expedition, why not investigate the decline in domestic meat prices after the Han and Hun wars.
"The data that can be seen" Ji Chang did not want to stand for the military, and said very fairly: "Although it is not as big as the attack on the Indochina Peninsula, it also has a profit of 340,000 and a half baht." ” The income that Ji Chang said is not counting the net profit of the land, but counting the slave trade behind.
At that moment, Liu Yan looked at Huan Wen, and then everyone's eyes were on Huan Wen.
"The Battle of the Expedition and the Hanji War are only the first few data."
Ji Chang is still the prime minister, and he has to look at some data if he doesn't want to: "It's only a preliminary data, and the statistical income exceeds the four Indochina Peninsulas, reaching four million." ” Huan Wen immediately showed a reserved smile.
Ah San was so rich that even the Romans and Persians were jealous, and the Han army estimated that the capture of Hua's city alone reached 28 billion.
"Four million is only an estimate of 40 percent of the catch."
Ji Chang really couldn't help but look at Xie An, who was about to become the head of the household, and joked: "An Shi will be very busy in the future just by estimating the gains of the Asan Continent. ” It caused a burst of "haha" laughter, and they laughed at the same time as they felt good in their hearts.
After all, the location of their Hou Kingdom is in the Asan Continent.
It is estimated that the four achievements have a value of 40 billion, which does not mean that the next 60 percent will have a value of 60 billion, and maybe the next 60 percent will not even have an estimate of 10 billion, but they are very willing to think in a better direction.
Liu Yan's Han Kingdom has never been short of money, and it can even be said that there is too much money to the point of excess.
Before the plundering of gold and silver from the Japanese Islands, there would not have been a shortage of gold if there was such a bug as Liu Yan, and with the gold and silver of the Japanese Islands, and the wealth repeatedly obtained from those defeated countries, in fact, if it were not for the official control of the excessive circulation of precious metals to the people, the matter of buying a bun would have happened a long time ago.
Money is money because it is able to buy goods.
Once gold is overflowing, gold will not be much more valuable than iron, and even the value of gold will be much lower than iron, at least iron can be made into various tools and weapons.
After all kinds of small talk all morning, when it was close to noon, the thirty-seven marquis left the palace together, and their wives would not return home until the evening.
Even staying until the evening, that is still the custom of returning to the mother's house on the second day of the first lunar month.
How did the custom of returning to my parents' house on the second day of the first lunar month come about, it has to be the Ming generation, and the origin of the custom is still Zhu Yuanzhang.
Two important customs in China, eating moon cakes and going back to his parents' home, are related to Lao Zhu.
When the ministers returned, Liu Yan began to be busy again.
For Liu Yan, who is a combination of the Son of Heaven and the emperor, there are too many important and complicated things during the Chinese New Year, especially today, there is one more emperor.
Some important sacrifices every year are also one of the things that the Son of Heaven must do, but Liu Yan's situation is special, and the link of worshiping the temple can be omitted, only the sacrifice to the Xuanyuan Temple.
The sacrificial thing was that after rewarding the hundred officials, Liu Yan took the hundred officials and the high-ranking people to do it on the same day.
Today, Liu Yan needs to be busy with the choice of beautiful women from all over the world, the most important of which are Rome and Sasansan.
"What I asked me to do, how did I do it?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there are initial results."
The current treasury of the Han Empire is so much money that it does not know how to spend it, and it will not start a large-scale war of annihilation in the short term, and it is imperative to maintain peace with other countries and open trade, so it is logical to marry Rome and Sassanid.
Liu Yan began to look through some of the information from the investigation, all of which were rumors about the marriage partner.
The marriage is bound to take place, fortunately, there is a pick, before looking at the appearance, learn about a certain of her past, because it is not directly to her country to collect intelligence, those who came with her in the past can only spy on the one-sided, but it is still better than not done.
Liu Yan looked at it all and picked up the pen to sketch on the list.
Hitting the "x" is naturally eliminated.
Those who hit "O" are on the alternate list.
After being approved, she will conduct a round of face-watching selection, and Liu Yan can only proceed to the next round if she sees it and thinks she is satisfied.
"I'm the first to have a big stick relationship."
Liu Yan was wrong again, the first person to use "stick diplomacy" was the First Emperor, who not only accepted the beauties of the six countries of Zhuxia, but also accepted some beauties of different countries
