Chapter 994: It's earth-shattering news


If it weren't for the fear of collapsing from within, Liu Yan would really have the mind to directly push the World Island. \ In terms of purely military force, if the Han Empire, which does not rely on the system, is fully capable of directly entering Central Asia, but it is only entering Central Asia, and it is difficult to advance an inch due to logistics.

If Liu Yan relies on the system to conquer, it will not be too difficult to reach Europa, but it is not enough to just capture, and it is difficult to gain a firm foothold.

The Han Empire needed at least ten years to develop people's livelihood, occupied so much territory, and added so many new resources, even if not all of them became better, but it could not be a precarious life.

The reason why a strong country collapses is usually not simply broken by external forces, but that internal problems first appear, and then external forces interfere.

In the end, it caused internal and external difficulties and led to a collapse.

Throughout history, any country that can be called a strong country is not destroyed by a simple external force, and only those countries with small countries and widows are easily destroyed by a simple external force.

In the history of Zhuxia, from ancient times to modern times, every time it was because of internal problems that led to the collapse of the country.

If the internal troubles are not fatal, the Central Plains Dynasty can suffer losses in advance and then counterattack even in the face of the strongest enemy country, even if it cannot destroy the enemy country under the counterattack, it can also enter the stage of stalemate.

Not only the Central Plains Dynasty of Zhuxia, but also many powerful countries, such as the Seleucid Empire and the Parthian Empire.

The Seleucid Empire and the Parthian Empire lasted at least a few decades when they entered the stage of extinction, and they could even continue to survive for one or two hundred years.

The Romans were in a "surviving" phase even longer, losing part of Europa, and the Eastern Rome continued to exist for thousands of years.

Liu Yan can imagine that if he is desperate to continue to be "reckless", although he can expand wantonly to the greatest extent in his generation, it is absolutely inevitable that he will not be able to survive the second life.

There have been lessons from the past, Qin Shi Huang is such a great person, he still did the annexation of the six countries with the same roots and origins by force, but because he only achieved the annexation by force, he did not conquer ideologically.

The time of unification was too short, and the people who lived in the generation of strife did not die, and after waiting for the death of the first emperor, they jumped out one after another With the same root and the same origin, the Han people want to conquer foreign races that they have not even been in contact with before, and it is impossible to say that they can be assimilated and merged in a short period of time.

"Who doesn't understand this truth" Si Hongzhuang just talked to Qian Jiantong about the reason why the expansion of the Han Empire was stumped: "Let's not talk about the people's livelihood in the country, the alien race in the conquered land is a trouble that cannot be ignored. ” There are not many places that can be regarded as conquered places, the Indochina Peninsula where Si Hongzhuang is about to go is one, and the Asan Continent where Qian Jiantong is going is also one.

The Indochina Peninsula is actually quite good, although the number of times Zhuxia has been in contact with it in the long history, there are still some countries that bear the imprint of Zhuxia.

The Asan Continent is different, Zhu Xia's record of the Asan Continent is only a few words, and even those countries that claim to be subject countries of the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty don't know that there is such a thing, and it is those countries that use the prestige of the Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasty to intimidate the enemy countries with ambitions for themselves.

"Take your time."

Qian Jiantong remembered his indicators, and didn't forget that Huan Wen had a special reminder before leaving.

He said leisurely: "Ship 1.8 million to the mainland a year, and it will be gone in a few years."

"Si Hongzhuang was speechless and looked at the sky for a long time, the gods are 1.8 million a year, and if they are really so afraid of death, they will desperately resist.

He looked at Qian Jiantong, and for the sake of good friendship, he said, "Take it easy." ” Qian Jiantong is not joking, he is very serious.

South of the Yangtze River needs a large number of Ah San to exchange for Nanyang monkeys in a short period of time, and the first batch is 200,000 foundations.

Is this a hard indicator, or does Qian Jian need to do it within half a year after taking office?

"Although the Han Dynasty destroyed the Gupta Dynasty, aren't there still dozens or hundreds of states" Qian Jiantong felt that the Gupta Empire was really a strange country, where did there be so many countries within a country: "Those states have a lot of contradictions, right?"

Si Hongzhuang immediately understood, he knew that the first thing Qian Jiantong did after taking office was to promote chaos among those states, and the states could not really fight each other, what was needed was to capture the population of the other party.

"Invest in the acquisition first, anyway" Qian Jiantong grinned, and continued to say: "Anyway, how much they eat, how much they will vomit later." ” In fact, there are very few countries in the Gupta Empire, and the Zhou royal family had more than 3,000 countries in the past, and it can even be said that the power of the Zhou royal family was much greater than that of the Gupta Dynasty.

There are many countries in a similar situation, such as Sassanid and Rome, although they are unified countries, but the number of "states within states" is still considerable, that is, in a different form, such as aristocratic private domains or fiefs.

In the Central Plains Dynasty on the Zhuxia side, before Liu Yan founded the country, the only one that did not have a "country within a country" was the Qin Empire after the First Emperor swept the Eight Desolations and Liuhe, or the previous feudal lords and marquis also had their own fiefs. is the current Han Empire, isn't it because of the reopening of feudalism Compared with the previous dynasties, Liu Yan is generous to the extent that there is no boundary, and when the title reaches the fifth level, he can go to Ah San to get a village, and the marquis can still have his own marquis, in a broad sense, the current Han Empire is probably as many as thousands of "countries within states".

Not to mention the present, as long as human society does not collapse and can still be missing, the existence of a "country within a state" may be different in name, but it is fundamentally the same.

"Looking at the Di newspaper, the number of slaves in the Han Dynasty is about to exceed 13 million."

Si Hongzhuang was a little melancholy: "If the trend is followed, the day when the number of slaves exceeds that of the common people will soon appear." ” Qian Jiantong said happily: "Isn't it good to exceed the number of slaves, which means that there are more people with titles and more labor in the official office." ” Si Hongzhuang originally didn't want to remember that Qian Jiantong was a descendant of the Huns, but the problem was that Qian Jiantong didn't care about the number of slaves at all, so he had to think about it.

"There have always been more slaves in Great Qin than in the people of the country, and when it is exaggerated, one Great Qin person is compared to thirty slaves."

Qian Jiantong didn't pay attention to Si Hongzhuang's face, and said to himself: "The slaves of the Han Dynasty want me to say that it is still too little, if all the work is handed over to the slaves, won't you be able to concentrate on exercising, so that the Han will not lack soldiers." ” Si Hongzhuang looked up at the sky again.

In the past, those gate lords and families in the Western Jin Dynasty, including Haoqiang, Quan Temo thought so, and it was also the first and only dynasty among so many local dynasties in Zhuxia that the number of foreign slaves far exceeded the population of their own country.

What the Western Jin Dynasty did was because the population was drastically reduced due to the war, and everyone was in urgent need of labor, so they dared to accept it regardless of what kind of labor force.

If only they were strong enough to suppress them, like the Romans, they were suppressed until they waited for the Huns to drive the Goths into the chaos.

The problem is that the gang of people in the Western Jin Dynasty are purely brainless, patronizing the royal family and killing each other, and they haven't even suppressed it for ten years.

It is precisely because of the brain-dead of the Western Jin Dynasty as a lesson from the past that the current Han people are enjoying the dividends of the labor output of foreign slaves on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are actually more or less afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past, and they are in a very complex state of mind.

"It is a good thing to liberate more people, even if they are not used as soldiers."

Qian Jiantong thought of the various workshops that had sprung up in the south: "Now the people who have slaves are handed over to slaves for their work in the fields, and they go to work to make money." ” There is another phenomenon that Qian Jiantong did not say.

In other places, he did not know that the textile owners on the other side of the grassland had begun to use slaves on a large scale, and at first they only used slaves for grazing, mainly because those slaves were also good herders, and the use of slaves in the subsequent processes has been increasing.

To put it bluntly, it is an inevitable phenomenon, and slaves can be used freely after a one-time purchase, without having to pay a monthly salary.

Then there is the oppression of slaves, and the existence of slaves, who has no human rights, who to complain to It's different in the face of free people, you have to be careful when you squeeze it, for fear that you will sue if you are squeezed hard.

More simply, the use of slaves can reduce labor costs to a minimum, the same commodity, the difference between the profits of hired freemen and the profits of using slaves is at least three times more, but there is no owner who does not pursue profits, and it is conceivable how to choose under the premise that he can really choose.

Qian Jiantong didn't say it, but Si Hongzhuang did.

"The province is already deliberating on a decision."

Si Hongzhuang also heard some gossip, and he didn't guarantee that it would be true, so he chatted and guessed: "I heard that it is a hard and fast rule, and the lower limit of the number of people hired in terms of scale." ” Qian Jiantong didn't care too much about this.

His family was engaged in animal husbandry, and in addition to the slave benefits brought by the title, he basically chose the descendants of the Xiongnu for employment, and the external version was that those people were skilled, but he knew that he was taking care of those groups with the same roots.

Not only Qian Jiantong's family will do that, the Han people give priority to employees and will also choose people close to them, who can be clan members or villagers, in fact, it is the priority of related households.

The current relationship will not take the salary to grind foreign workers or do more excessive things, on the contrary, they will do their best more than outsiders.

This is also the real phenomenon that the relationship between relatives and neighbors has not collapsed, and they know the importance of affection, and they understand how beneficial it is for people with relationships to develop.

"That" Qian Jiantong also has some gossip, or confirmed the true news: "The hussar general has submitted a proposal to Menxia Province."

A castration system for male subordinates was proposed. ” Si Hongzhuang also knew the news, and he didn't mention it if he liked it or not, and the first moment he heard the news, he had a gushing admiration for Ran Min.

Menxia Province is a deliberative department, and naturally it is necessary to solicit opinions from all sides, from the important ministers of the country to the common people, but if there is any idea, no matter what suggestion is made if there is the courage, it can be submitted to the office offices set up in various places in Menxia Province.

Directly submitted to the provincial government office under the palace gate, which is a privilege of high-ranking officials, but it is one thing to submit it, and it is another thing whether it will be passed.

The privileges of the Han Empire are clearly laid out, not unspoken rules and black-box operations.

According to Liu Yan, that is to encourage those who are capable, and if they want to enjoy privileges, they should make more contributions.

"I heard that the first time was directly rejected by Menxia Province" Qian Jiantong once again knew Ran Min's ferocity, and wondered if Ran Min didn't think about the name behind him, he said with a strange expression: "It was rejected twice in a row, and the third time the hussar general directly stated that he didn't give a reason for the rejection, and he wanted to single-handedly pick up all the servants in Menxia Province." ” The three attendants in Menxia Province are Cai You, Xie Ai and Wang Meng.

Xie Ai is estimated to be able to make a dozen moves under Ran Min's hands What is certain is that Cai You and Wang Meng are side by side, that is, Ran Min can knock down with one punch and kick.

Therefore, Ran Min said that he wanted to fight three single-handedly, with the confidence of victory, which was far more confident than shouting for a single-handedly head-on Zhongshu Province and all the chief officials of Shangshu Province.

You must know one thing, except for the Zhongshu Ling Jichang and Sang Yu of Zhongshu Province, Huan Wen and Xie An's force value in the six Shangshu are not low, and then Yu Yi and Lu Yi are much stronger than Cai You and Wang Meng even if they are not as good as Xie Ai, and the remaining force values of Fu Shou and Tian Shuo are not worth mentioning.

"The version I've heard is a little different from yours."

Si Hongzhuang also had a strange expression on his face: "The version I heard was that the hussar general was holding a suspected explosives bag, but he was actually served.

None of the three attendants were left behind, and one by one they asked the reason for the rejection. ” Qian Jiantong once again refreshed his impression of Ran Min, and he could imagine that the three servants were definitely frightened: "It's really worthy of it" Si Hongzhuang is a military general, and he is still very happy that there is such a fierce boss as Ran Min in his camp, but he can be shocked and stunned by Ran Min's actions many times.

"Have you heard that when will the hussar general go to the country" Qian Jiantong thought that he was the Tianzhu Protectorate, and the Tianzhu Protectorate had Ran Min's Hou State in the jurisdiction, and his legs suddenly became a little weak: "It's wrong, no one will really stay in their own Hou Country."

Have you heard that when the hussar general will inspect the Hou Kingdom?"

Si Hongzhuang was about to tell Qian Jiantong the news, but he learned from Xie Ai: "Including the hussar generals, there are fourteen marquis who will inspect the Hou country on a day this year."

Qian Jiantong's legs were weak, and he still used his nursing strength to support the ship's guardrail and sat on the deck with his soft buttocks.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked in a panic, "Do you know the exact date?"

Where can Si Hongzhuang grasp that information, I don't know whether to use schadenfreude or sympathy, facing Qian Jiantong, who relied on his upper body to lie on the guardrail and looked soft
