Ren Hong is just here to give advice, and after what he should say, he can only leave, and the final decision-making power has to be handed over to the eight people in China and North Korea."
This afterlife."
After Ren Hong retreated, Zuo Feng Yitian Guangming pointed to the door and smiled dumbly: "I was clearly reasoning and talking about interests before, why did I suddenly say that Kou can put me and can put this kind of thing."
The Huns have it, and the Han must also have it, and the words are all about this, so what else is there to talk about, isn't this a sprinkling. ”Former general Han Zeng also smiled: "But the Marquis of Xi'an is reasonable, if the Han wants to compete with the Xiongnu in the Western Regions, he must face the right Xian King and the Sun Chaser King.The Xiongnu had servants and servants, and the Han also had to have the Western Regions Protectorate to compete with them for the states of the Western Regions. ”The servant Du Yannian shook his head: "General, I don't think there is any need to set up anything to protect the palace, the Xiongnu have been weakened since ten years ago, and internal strife continues, and in recent years, they have invaded several times, but they have been defeated by the Han army."
What's more, the states of the Western Regions have few weak soldiers, and the war between Han and Hungary is just a drop in the bucket, the focus is on Wusun, and the top priority in running the Western Regions is to win over Wusun. ”Huo Guang was punished severely, and Du Yannian was supplemented by leniency, the discussion was even, and the imperial court was peaceful, and it was he who initiated the salt and iron proposal, in addition to helping the general defeat Sang Hongyang, but also the idea of restoring the world to Jingzhi.Although Du Yannian was against the war in his heart, everyone who could enter this room knew that it was the general's wish to continue the cause of the Han Dynasty and complete the final victory over the Xiongnu, and it was also the general's strategy to open up the Western Regions and break the right arm of the Xiongnu.If anyone is confused and supports and pro-truce like the virtuous scholars outside, I am afraid that the next day he will be removed from the official position and kicked out of China and North Korea.So now what they are arguing about is only the question of degree: whether to use the Western Regions for a one-time time use or to set up institutions for long-term jurisdiction.Now only Han Zeng is in favor of setting up a capital protectorate, but there are three opponents: Fan Mingyou, Tian Guangming, and Du Yannian.At this time, another voice sounded: "Didn't the Marquis of Xi'an say that if the Western Regions Protectorate can be set up, in addition to controlling the north and south provinces, it can also supervise the movements of Wusun and Kangju foreign countries, and there will be changes." ”But it was the great division of farmland that was prolonged, and he couldn't hold it anymore and threw out his own opinions.Zuo Fengyi said that he could not repeat the mistake of setting up Yizhou County in the past, but it brought a burden to the world.However, the subordinates thought that the Western Regions were indeed different from the Southwest Yi, and if they could control the north and south provinces, it might be really profitable. ”"It is true that the Western Regions is barren and vast, and it is far away from Chang'an, but it has a little advantage that all the counties of the Han Dynasty do not have!
That's a foreign country!
”Tian Yannian said: "The reason why Xiaowu set up Yizhou County back then was actually to find a way from Shu County to the poison, and the envoys who could be sent were either blocked by Kunming or lost in the reckless mountains and forests. ”"And the Western Regions is a road that Bowanghou has long carved out and explored, which can communicate with foreign countries west of the Green Ridge."
Du Yannian, the servant with the same name as him, shook his head: "What about foreign countries?"
When Xiaowu conquered Dawan and sent envoys to other countries, it brought benefits to the Han Dynasty?
It is nothing more than the West Pole, sweat and blood, all kinds of horses fill the Yellow Gate; Elephants, lions, dogs, ostriches and other rare birds and animals flock to the garden. ”"That's the great Si Nong Sang Hongyang of the time of Emperor Xiaowu was stupid, just to get rare monsters to please the first emperor, but he didn't know where the real benefits were."
Tian Yannian calculated an account for everyone: "I am a big farmer, I have the responsibility of persuading farmers to teach mulberry, after Jing Xiaowu's hundred years of advocacy, now almost every family in Guanzhong has mulberry, every household raises silkworms, and the price of silk silk is already very cheap."
In the past, only the old people could wear silk clothes, and the rich also wore hemp clothes.But now, it is the rich who wear embroidered Luo Xuan, and the Chinese family wears plain silk ice brocade, and the general silk and thin weaving are not bought at all in the market. ”"But it is such a thin weaving, but it is deeply loved by the Hu people in the Western Regions, not to mention the oasis city, but directly uses the silk of the Han Dynasty as the coin.Some Sogdian merchants gathered in the west of Yumen Pass, begging day and night to buy silk silk, and transported it to the west of the Green Ridge to resell it to Anxi and Dawan, and its price was dozens of times that of Guanzhong!
”"If the Western Regions Protectorate is set up, the north and south roads will be unimpeded, and the excess silk silk in the Guanzhong can be transported to Yumen and Yangguan to be sold to Hu Shang at a high price!"
Du Yannian interrupted him: "Although there are many silk silks in Guanzhong, there are especially many poor people who are not clothed" Tian Yannian laughed: "Too servant, too servant, no matter how cheap the price of silk is, can it be cheaper than Ge Ma?"
The money to buy a silk coat is enough to buy three or five burlap clothes.Moreover, when they were working in the fields, they were willing to wear embroidered clothes and wear them and stain them. ”"Today's situation is that there is too much silk in Guanzhong, especially in the Shaofu weaving room, and the silk silk in the warehouse is piled up, and many of them are about to rot because they have been put for too many years.Do you think it is like flowing water as a reward for the barbarian monarchs and princes?
Or is it better for Jia and Hu Shang to exchange gold for the imperial court?
”The gold of the Han Dynasty was the currency stipulated by the imperial court, and one pound of gold could be exchanged for 10,000 yuan, which was a real hard currency.The biggest expense every year is to reward princes and heroes, often hundreds of catties.Copper coins can be minted again when they are gone, but the source of gold is limited, so they can only be dug from a few gold mines and panned in Lishui.However, Ren Hong, in the annex of Song Shu, provided another channel for gold, and he described how foreign countries west of the Green Ridge, such as Anxi, Daxia, and Tiaozhi, became mountains of gold, and their currencies were minted in gold and silver, with the face of their king on the obverse.As a big farmer who manages finances, this alone is enough to make Tian Yannian's heart move.What's more, he also received a letter co-written by Su Wu and Ren Hong yesterday, Su Wu had already guessed that this matter would be discussed in China and North Korea, under his recommendation, Ren Hong hoped to get Tian Yannian's support, in exchange, willing to give Tian Yannian a big benefit If not, Tian Yannian, who can't afford to be early, will not fight for reason.At this point, everyone in the hall has expressed their opinions, and only Zhao Chongguo is left.Huo Guang looked at the general, and Zhao Chongguo finally finished reading the song with it, and said: "Very detailed, if I didn't know that this Ren Hongcai is more than 20 years, I would have thought that this song was written by a fifty-year-old official." ”Attached is the information that Ren Hong carefully provided to the princes of the Inner Dynasty, the location, distance, estimated number of households of the Western Regions states written in advance, and the number of victorious soldiers that can be recruited.This is something that Zhao Chongguo appreciates very much, and he has a characteristic of fighting wars, that is, he calculates in advance the grain, salt, and corn needed by the soldiers, cattle and horses, inspects the warehouses every day, checks the remaining quantity, and requires the grain officials to report to the single digits.Because Zhao Chongguo is by no means the kind of reckless general, his combat style is quite similar to that of Wang Jian in the Qin period, and the older he gets, the more calm he becomes.Zhao Chongguo has already made a decision, and slowly said his opinion: "A Han soldier from Dunhuang City to Loulan, to walk for a month, consume one stone and four buckets, his own plan is not able to carry, have to let the horses carry the burden, so to add eight stone wheat beans, no way, there is little grass along the way, but the animal appetite is big."
In this way, a thousand-mile road, a thousand troops and horses, will consume 10,000 stone grain, not counting the loss of people and animals along the way. ”"If the Western Regions Protectorate is set up, manpower can be transferred from the states of the Western Regions, and in the past, 1,000 troops could be sent to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu, and perhaps 2,000 soldiers from the Western Regions would be conscripted to solve the problem, so that more than 10,000 stone of grain could be saved.""
Such a beneficial and harmless measure, I don't understand, why fight for so long, when Emperor Xiaowu set up the captain of Wuhuan and the captain of Qiang, there were not so many complaints in the court."
These words embarrassed the three people who objected, but Zhao Chongguo ignored them and continued: "Of course, the most important thing in running the Western Regions is Tuntian.Last year, the Huns hit the ditch and ploughed around the iron gate, which was to take advantage of my Tuntian.As long as there were 100,000 stone of grain in the canal plough, wheel, and other dry grain, the Xiongnu would have nothing to do with the Western Regions. ”Regarding the pros and cons of setting up the Western Regions Protectorate, except for Zhang Anshi, who did not express his opinion as usual, the Chinese and North Korean people have already discussed the military, economic, and political aspects, and the support and opposition are actually three to three, just waiting for Huo Guang to make a final decision.Huo Guang hasn't said a word so far, his eyes swept on the last sentence of Ren Hong's song, which was the sentence he cared about the most."
The land of the Nine Translations is bound to a subject country, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Han officials, which is enough to congratulate and sue the first emperor!"
Following the business of the first emperor and completing what Emperor Xiaowu did not have time to do, this is the goal that Huo Guang has been striving for for many years.Yes, Huo Guang, who has been the Emperor of Shangshu Xiaowu for 20 years, personally took over the picture of the Duke of Zhou becoming the king, and is the person who knows the essence of this Han-Hungarian war best!
In the fourth year of Taichu, when Emperor Xiaowu decided to re-use troops against the Xiongnu despite public opinion, he gave this reason: "Emperor Gao left the city to worry, and when Empress Gao was alone, he was absolutely rebellious in the book."
In the past, Xianggong Fu of the Ninth Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period!
”Snow shame, revenge, and the destruction of the Huns with all martial arts, these high-sounding excuses are the goals of the first emperor who cannot be used by everyone."
Kansai is the foundation of the Great Han, and Kansai needs this war!"
Hangu Pass is the old Qin land in the west, and the folk customs are still martial and few.The corresponding land of Kanto is more developed than Kansai.Therefore, there is a proverb that "Shandong is out of the prime minister, Shanxi is out of the general".Before Emperor Xiaowu, the confrontation between Kanto and Kansai was very serious, and the meritorious nobles left by Emperor Gao were concentrated in Kansai, and the last founding hero, Shen Tujia, ruled until the Xiaojing period.The Kwantung region was occupied by the princes and kings, and the Kwantung scholars gathered around the kings of Wu, Liang, and Huainan to faintly confront the central government.But by the time of Xiaowu, the vassal states had weakened, and the military achievements of the founding princes had also completely declined.For the sake of their future, a large number of Kwantung scholars poured into Chang'an and joined the court.At that time, seventy percent of the martial ministers were from the Kanto region, plus the commendation of the Six Classics, and the filial piety and honesty of the scholars, even the middle-level officials in Chang'an gradually had more Kanto accents.The good families of the six counties in Kansai have played the Kanto people in the Six Classics, they have been practicing war preparedness since childhood, high bravery, saddle horse riding and shooting, and it is generally recognized that they gallop on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions to the frontier.If it weren't for the war against the Xiongnu that brought a large number of Kansai good families to the temple, they would have been marginalized long ago.In Huo Guang's view, the previous disputes of the Wu Emperor Dynasty were not only wars and disputes, branch disputes, but also regional disputes and east-west disputes.Emperor Xiaowu also noticed this, he knew that Guanzhong was the foundation of the Han Dynasty, in addition to migrating Guandong Haoqiang into Wuling, so that it was contaminated with Guanxi customs, he also moved Hangu Guandong to the east, and incorporated the Taiyuan Hedong Shangdang east of Taihang Mountain into the three counties of Guanzhong, and the atmosphere was quite similar to that of Guanxi, and Huo Guang was a native of Hedong.He also took care of the good families of the six counties, allowing them to choose Yulin and Qimen, and use their material strength as officials, and there are many famous generals.However, for more than ten years after the Luntai edict, the trend of prosperity in the east and decline in the west has become more and more obvious, and the voice of the Kwantung scholars has become stronger and stronger, and finally got a general outbreak at the salt and iron conference, venting their anger at the salt and iron on Sang Hongyang, and the assistant Prime Minister Shi of Sang Hongyang was so angry that he denounced virtuous and virtuous learning: "The people of the world have words that are not as good as Confucianism, and they are all out of Shandong, and they are all involved in great theories!"
”Although this group of Kanto people defeated Sang Hongyang, Huo Guang maintained the Kanto salt and iron monopoly unchanged afterwards, but canceled the salt and iron monopoly in Kansai!
Huo Guang's attitude of supporting Kansai and suppressing Kanto has been clearly revealed.This was in order to maintain the balance between the East and the West of the Han Dynasty, and the Kanto region was at its peak and the population was large, but it was too Shang and had to be suppressed by the martial style of the Kansai region.The west wind must overwhelm the east wind!
Inheriting the legacy of Xiaowu and restarting the war against the Xiongnu is the only way to revive the counties of Guanxi and continue to control the right to speak in the court!
Therefore, in Huo Guang's heart, he supported all proposals that were beneficial to the consolidation of Kansai, such as the establishment of the four counties in Hexi, and the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate in the Western Regions.What's more, controlling the Western Regions was something that Emperor Xiaowu had dreamed of but failed to do, and when Huo Guang was in power, he set up a capital to govern it.Isn't this like the Duke of Zhou became the king, destroyed Dongyi, and completed the cause that King Wu of Zhou failed to complete?
Huo Guang needed political achievements to prove the achievements of his auxiliary government for more than ten years, and it was impossible to satisfy the Confucian students in the Kwantung region in terms of internal affairs and moral governance.It is easier to expand the territory and seize the Western Regions, which is enough to make the people of Chang'an cheer, so that the good families of the six counties of Kanxi can get the benefits of meritorious service and surround themselves tightly!"
There is no need to discuss it anymore, I will put the music on the table of the Son of Heaven, please set up the Western Regions to protect the Mansion, the capital to protect the North and South Provinces, and supervise the movements of Wusun, Dawan, and Kangju foreign countries, and there are changes to hear.Can be installed, can be installed.Hit, hit!
”As soon as Huo Guang's words came out, even if Du Yannian, Tian Guangming, and Fan Mingyou still had doubts, they all had to put it away, and like everyone else, they respectfully bowed to Huo Guang."
Only the general's order is obeyed!"
After talking for several hours, the Shangshutai meeting ended, and after Tian Yannian left Weiyang Palace, he stuffed a letter to his cronies."
Go and tell the subordinate country Su Gong and the Marquis of Xi'an, it's done!""
The Marquis of Xi'an said in his letter to me that before the beginning of spring, he would give me a new type of plough that would make plowing much more efficient.PS: There are two more chapters in the evening.
