Chapter 996: It's already mild


There are people who, no matter how the situation has changed, will still go down in history in a variety of ways as if they were destined to do so.

In the original history, Ran Min raised troops because Shi Hu promised to be the prince and repented, and Shi Hu's many sons attacked and killed each other, giving Ran Min a chance to stand on his own.

No matter what reason Ran Min embarked on the road of rebellion, it was indeed that he sheltered a considerable number of his fellow clans in the chaotic north at that time, and finally ended his life with a tragic end.

In this historical position changed by Liu Yan, Ran Min was also forced to embark on the road of confrontation with Zhuhu, if there is any difference, it is that Liu Yan brought Ran Min a more distinct idea of "Han and Hu do not stand".

Everyone will have their own personality, some people don't like to be a bad guy so much, if they can choose, they will want to be a good person, the problem is that after taking a wrong step, too many people choose a way to go dark.

Those who chose to serve Hu Lu in the turbulent times, perhaps at first just to protect themselves and keep their families, for the first time they raised their sharp weapons to their fellow clans and slashed them, and immediately understood that only in this way could they gain the trust of their masters, and that in the future, they no longer had to kill their fellow clansmen, but regarded the mutilation of their fellow clans as a matter of achievement.

Once dyed black, it is not easy to whitewash, some people seize the opportunity to whitewash themselves, even if they force themselves, they will force themselves to follow the new personality, and they can generally do it until death.

Liu Yan actually didn't really know Ran Min.

The Ran Min he knew, after he took refuge in himself, and before he took refuge in himself, there were too many things that changed.

A person who can be reused and valued in the Hulu camp is unlikely to be a reckless person, not to mention how deep the city government is, and the basic disguise must be passed.

After Ran Min became a member of Liu Yan's command, he repeatedly showed that he was like a reckless man, and others would scruple about being like a colleague, but he repeatedly set up opponents for himself.

Liu Yan can understand why Ran Min is like that, all because Ran Min is attached with a large number of people.

A person who used to be the king, who he took refuge with a huge number of subordinates, and dared to be good friends with everyone in the new circle, he definitely thought that his life was too long.

Ran Min has successfully created an image of the people, one master, one lord and one righteousness, so of course he wants to show hostility and hatred towards foreign races.

According to Liu Yi, a retainer of Ran Min's family, I am afraid that I will offend everyone, as long as I can stand on the same side as the Son of Heaven, what if I offend everyone.

Except for a little bit of deliberate performance because of the relationship between the characters, Ran Min thinks that he is doing an extremely correct thing.

At the small court meeting the next day, Ran Min did not wait for the three provinces and six departments to play, and once again threw out the issue of castration of male slaves.

The ministers, who had been informed in advance, fell into absolute silence for a while.

In fact, how can they not know that this is the right thing, no one wants the efforts of their own generation, and even the efforts of generations of Han people, to end up making wedding dresses for the group of people who not only kill and oppress.

There is no joke, from Liu Yan's army to resist Hu in 340 A.D. to the 14th year of Yuan Shuo after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 357 A.D., the alien races they eliminated on the battlefield exceeded 2 million.

At least two million aliens were killed on the battlefield alone, so the number of aliens who died indirectly in the war would not be less than 10 million In the case of 10 million exterminators in the form of war over a period of 17 years, other acts after the war, such as slave hunting and plundering, were actually more relevant in reducing the alien population.

At present, the official number of slaves recorded in the Han Empire is 13 million, and they are all still living slaves.

The Han Empire began to start various projects in 349 AD in the eighth year of Yuan Shuo, and until the ninth year of Yuan Shuo, it still used forced labor as the main labor, but after the tenth year of Yuan Shuo, it was the use of slaves as the main labor.

Especially in terms of road construction, the Han Empire basically used slaves and would never use conscription.

In such an era when everything relies on hands, building roads is not an easy task, and it can even be said that the casualties caused by road construction will be very terrifying.

According to some data, the construction of the road from Ruyin County to Chen County with a total length of 230 miles alone consumed as many as 140,000 slaves.

The road from Ruyin County to Chen County is still in a relatively flat plain, and there are not many mountains along the way, which is relatively easy to work on the whole road.

From Chenjun to Luoyang, the road was 450 miles long, but as many as 470,000 slaves were consumed.

The distance is twice as different, but the number of slaves consumed is almost three times greater, of course, because of the difference in the environment in which the road is built.

So far, the two intersecting national highways centered on Chang'an can only be said to have begun to take shape, and they are still far from being completed.

The number of slaves that have been consumed for road construction is a staggering 3.6 million There will be such exaggerated consumption, on the one hand, it is related to the road construction environment, and on the other hand, the Han people really do not cherish slaves too much.

There is relevant data that shows that as many as 220,000 people died in the construction of the road from Guanzhong to Beidi in the pre-Qin Dynasty.

Most of the dead were prisoners of war from the Six Nations.

The Northern Song Dynasty built a road less than 100 miles in the south, just because the location was in the southwest, and more than 60,000 people died when a road was built less than 100 miles, which indirectly gave Fang La more opportunities to buy people's hearts, so he rebelled.

If you read the history, you will definitely find that no matter which dynasty built the road, being conscripted to build the road is definitely the most dangerous thing, and it is even more dangerous than being conscripted to build a tomb.

Before the Han Empire carried out various reforms, the Prime Minister's Office had made a special estimate that in order to complete the construction of the two national highways, it was necessary to be prepared to consume at least 8 million people.

The total length of the two national highways will not be less than 10,000 miles, and they are not only built for hiking and car frames, but also for some sections to build gallop roads.

Liu Yan still understood why there were such exaggerated consumption figures, and he thought of Yang Guang.

According to some records, more than 2 million people died before and after Yang Guang built the canal.

I don't know if it's really that exaggerated in the number of deaths, or if it's because of political correctness, such as smearing the former dynasty, but it must be a fact that the death toll is very high.

It seems that there is a one-sided record that Fei Ju suggested to Yang Guang that more time should be spent on building the canal, and that the cost of money would be reduced several times, and the casualties would not exceed 200,000 at most.

Then it is very clear that the same project will not only reduce the cost due to the different time consumption, but also the casualties will be completely different.

How could Liu Yan not know this truth, if according to the normal situation, in the era of simply using manpower as labor, it would not be too much to build a road for 10,000 miles in one or two hundred years, but they planned to complete it within 20 years, then they would have to bear the price they should bear.

If the price is to fill the hole with the lives of the Han people, Liu Yan will not do anything he says, but if it is to consume foreign races, there will be no psychological burden at all.

Until the intercommunication of countries on the earth in modern times, foreign lives were consumed in infrastructure projects, no matter how much they praised themselves as civilized countries, they would not blush at all, and even take it for granted.

There is a Chinese laborer's body under every sleeper of the railroad in North America, which is a shame for the Chinese, but it is a deed that the white race can show off.

In fact, the Han Empire was able to plan so many huge projects, and even put them into action, because it did not care for slaves at all.

If there were no slaves, not only Liu Yan, but also any minister, they would not have the heart to plan the project.

So far, more than 3.6 million slaves have died in road construction, no less than 2 million slaves have died in various mines, and about 230,000 slaves have been consumed on other occasions.

Seventeen years is just a lot of consuming nearly six million slaves, if it weren't for the value created by slaves, it can really be said that the speed is very slow.

Liu Yan knew a figure who was also a ruler, and he killed more than 100 million people in just over 20 years from his rise to becoming a hegemon.

When he destroyed the Jin Kingdom, he killed more than 30 million, and when he destroyed the Western Xia, he killed more than 2 million, and almost all of the Khwarazm were killed, waiting for his descendants to become the rulers of various regions, and the population of this family would definitely not be less than 200 million, and more than 40 million people died in the Southern Song Dynasty alone.

So far, the number of alien races who have died directly and indirectly in the flames of war ignited by the Han Empire will not exceed 20 million at most.

And the territory of the Han Empire is actually about half less than the area under the rule of that family.

That's almost ten to one killings, and the Han army didn't carry out any malicious massacres at all, except for dealing with the Qian, so it's not an exaggeration to say that the Han people were very merciful.

"The number of aliens under the rule of the Han Dynasty is about 40 million."

Ji Chang is no longer the prime minister, but as a Zhongshu Ling, he can still grasp first-hand information: "The number of Tianzhu Protectorates is the largest, and there are close to 30 million Ah San there. ” Before the fall of the Gupta Empire, according to their own demographics, there were more than 6 million people not counting the untouchables, and more than 37 million including the untouchables.

The Han Empire destroyed the Gupta Empire, and several large-scale exhibitions wiped out nearly 400,000 troops of the Gupta Empire, and there was no subjective killing of the people.

If there is any place where the Han people consciously and systematically carry out massacres, it is definitely the islands of the South Seas.

That's also because the natives of those islands in the South Seas are barbaric enough, so barbaric that if they don't kill enough people, the natives don't know what it means to be afraid.

Huan Wen had directly governed the South Seas before, and he signed a report to empty seventeen islands.

The so-called emptying is to exterminate everything, and the natives who were driven out by the Han people are all cannibals.

"More and more is inevitable."

Ji Chang glanced at Ran Min and said expressionlessly: "The minister thinks that the newly captured male slave should indeed be castrated. ” Liu Yan understood, the male slaves captured in the future are not the private property of the people, so there will be no damage to anyone's existing interests, but the castration of those who have become private property is what Ji Chang opposes.

"Don't forget one thing."

Ran Min is messing around with anything today, and he must let the issue pass: "The registered slaves of the Han Dynasty are not counted as slaves of the official office, but there are more than 3 million slaves owned by the people. ” "Chang knows."

Ji Chang looked at Ran Min without being stunned at all, and said slowly: "It is precisely because of the large number that there are scruples. ” "The Han has an immutable national policy that private property is sacred and inviolable."

Sang Yu also opened his mouth and said: "Those slaves are already private individuals, how can they interfere and replace them with castrated new slaves, isn't it the same?"

"At the end of the day, you're just looking at your own interests."

Ran Min yelled: "Have you forgotten how the Western Jin Dynasty perished?"

No one has forgotten it, but that thing is really too difficult to do, and if it is really to be implemented, it is necessary to be prepared to extinguish fires everywhere, and for them, what they scruple about is not to extinguish riots or rebellions, but to do so is tantamount to overturning Liu Yan's law of "the sanctity of private property", which is so serious that the state is untrustworthy, and it must not be taken lightly.

The truth is really like that, Liu Yan can override a rule he has set because of something, and everyone will think about whether he will ignore the rules he has made one day and then what he will do to make those rules.

"In short, the bill for castration of slaves must be passed" Ran Min stood up directly and sneered at his colleagues: "If you don't sign it, let the hussar shogun establish the shogunate, and the hussar shogunate will be the leader and executor to handle this matter."

Ji Chang was so angry that he raised his hand and pointed at Ran Min and couldn't say a word.

It's not as simple as whoever executes it is equal to not breaking the covenant, it's that if the thing is done, it is equivalent to the covenant being destroyed, and it's really not something that Ran Min can carry down alone.

"Enforcement" Lu Yi really didn't want to wade into troubled waters, but he had already found that Liu Yan's face was getting more and more ugly, so he said what he thought was a feasible method: "Enforcement is not advisable, if the people are allowed to enforce it spontaneously, it can be both." ” "Hehe, just discussing you and waiting will make me feel distressed" Ran Min continued to sneer, despite the fact that some people had already shown angry expressions: "You are like this as important ministers of the country, and you can still hope that the rest of you can agree" "Yongzeng, you just stop."

Xu Zheng pulled Ran Min to go back to his seat, but he couldn't pull it several times, so he said embarrassedly: "Everyone here, who will have that little benefit, whose interests are those slaves." ” Ran Min didn't care so much, and glanced at everyone angrily.

Liu Yan, who was sitting in the room who had only listened to him all the time, looked at Lu Yi and asked, "What is the feasible opinion of the Ministry of Rites?"

Ran Min was stunned for a moment, glanced at Liu Yan, and then looked at Lu Yi, who seemed to be confident, and hesitated again before walking back to his seat.

He wanted to hear if Lu Yi could name a flower
