Compared with Xiao He's strengthening himself, Chen Ping prefers to weaken the opponent and reduce external pressure, thereby creating better conditions internally.

If the King of the Yuezhi had agreed happily on that day, even if he only sent 30,000 to 50,000 people to follow him to show off.

Now Chen Ping would not use such shameless means.

Yes, the Yuezhi people helped the big man a lot.

But it wasn't for nothing. Didn't the benefits they gained from Dahan still be small?

Grain, salt, silk, and various goods were even moved south to avoid disaster.

It can even be said without hesitation that the reason why the Yuezhi people suffered much less damage than other tribes during this snowstorm winter was entirely because the big men were helping them.

Otherwise, how could the Yuezhi live such a prosperous life now?

Yuezhi solved a big problem for the big man, but similarly, Yuezhi also made many small moves in private.

To put it simply and straightforwardly, the Yuezhi hopes to get more benefits from the big man, but is unwilling to pay more.

"The strength of the Han army was limited. Before the expedition, Shangshu Guan advised the Yueshi to send troops together with the Han, but King Donghu refused. If the Xiongnu came to the west, they would definitely cause trouble for the Yueshi first. Why should the Han be in a hurry to send troops? Besides,

Okay, does it take time to mobilize troops and horses?" Chen Ping said with a smile.

Xiao He pursed his lips. This was not the first time he saw Chen Ping's shamelessness.

But he didn't know why, but every time he saw it, he would feel a little uncomfortable.

What Chen Ping did was completely contrary to his own ideals.

Of course, let’s sum it up with Wang Buxu’s words.

Xiao He belongs to the kind of people who don't offend others unless they offend me. When dealing with people who are not enemies, you should try to treat them as kindly as possible. Don't make enemies everywhere. Strengthen yourself first.

Chen Ping, on the other hand, belongs to the type where if someone wants to offend me, I will offend him first, and if he is not of my race, his heart will be different.

This has already been shown during the war. It would be crazy for Chen Ping to trap any forces that are not from the Han camp.

After the Han Dynasty unified the world, Chen Ping used this energy to deal with the outside world.

Wang Buxu was well aware of Xiao He's talents and knew that if the Han Dynasty wanted to develop and develop stably, Xiao He was an indispensable key figure.

Chen Ping, on the other hand, is more interested in his own appetite, and Wang Buxian is also a person who likes to leave the war to other countries.

Otherwise, during the battle to destroy Chu, Wang Buxin would not have heard of the Chu army's movements and immediately mobilized his troops to attack Chu.

The thinking of ordinary people is that if they know that the other side is moving troops, I will also move troops. I will not start fighting until you cross the line, otherwise the two sides will be in a stalemate.

"Although the Yuezhi formed an alliance openly, in fact they kept making small moves behind the scenes, and only cared about small profits in front of them. This kind of alliance is not a long-term solution. If the Huns really come, they should be taught some lessons..." Wang Bu

Hungry spoke calmly.

The Yueshi are still very powerful now and there are still many people.

It was a bit difficult for the Han Dynasty to annex them.

As for the grassland peoples, what should I say? Wang Buxian intends to completely conquer them.

Through the ages, looking through the five thousand years of Chinese history, there have been many hidden dangers from the north.

Hu people during the Warring States Period!

The Xiongnu during the Qin and Han Dynasties!

Wuhu during the Jin Dynasty!

Turks in the Sui and Tang Dynasties!

Liao, Jin and Yuan during the Song Dynasty!

Jurchens in the late Ming Dynasty!

Take a look, basically in every great turmoil in the period, there are nomadic people from the north appearing.

The five thousand years of Chinese history are not only five thousand years of internal struggle, but also five thousand years of resistance to the nomads in the north.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, hidden dangers in the north have always existed for more than two thousand years since modern times.

Whenever the Central Plains dynasty was at its weakest, the nomadic peoples in the north would always rise up a force to fight the autumn wind.

"Those who are not of my race must have different minds!" Wang Buxu continued.

Although it is just a short sentence, eight words.

But the weight of these eight words is not light at all.

This directly shows Wang Buxu's attitude towards foreigners, and is also very important as a warning to the ministers.

Under the guidance of these eight words, when they encounter external official affairs, they will have a safe bottom line when handling it.

It's not that you can't cooperate or anything, but no matter when, no matter who you are with, as long as it is a foreigner, you must be careful and not have a complete heart-to-heart relationship with them.

"I can accept those foreign races, but I will never tolerate them!" Wang Buxian continued, which set a tone on this matter.

In the next battle, the Yuezhi people will definitely be beaten severely.

When will the Han army go out after beating him until his muscles and bones are broken?

"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be treated with caution!" Xiao He frowned fiercely and remonstrated.

"What? Does Mr. Xiao think that those foreigners who came to the country can cause cholera in the mainland?" Wang Buhun asked with a smile.

Xiao He nodded in confirmation without hesitation.

This is something that can be expected. If you let people come, you will naturally give them preferential treatment.

This is an inevitable thing, and those high-ranking officials will have the power and soldiers, with the salary of the Han Dynasty, and the weapons of the Han Dynasty. After they are familiar with everything about your Han Dynasty, they will directly launch an offensive from within.

By that time, what would be the advantage of the Han Dynasty?

There is no advantage at all, perhaps, only the advantage in numbers remains.

But so what if it can be settled in the end?

Xiao He always believed that this was laying a trap for the big man.

"This matter is not as complicated as you think, and you underestimate Zhu Xia's charm!" Wang Buxu smiled mysteriously.

What is the greatest advantage of the Chinese nation?

In addition to hard work and so on, the biggest advantage is the degree of acceptance from the outside world.

There have been many precedents in history. Whether they were forced to join or they ruled after becoming hegemons, no one could escape the assimilation of the Chinese nation.

That's right, even the royal family like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had ruled for hundreds of years, used countless methods to assimilate the Xia ethnic groups, but in the end they were inevitably destined to resist assimilation.

What do those foreigners count now?

Besides, Wang Buxing was not a fool. If Maodun Shanyu said that he wanted to bring the Huns back south, Wang Buxing would definitely not dare to accept them.

It’s not like anyone can take it all at once, so why not beat you half to death first, leaving you with no chance of rebounding for decades?

Then, while you are recovering your strength within a few decades, I will assimilate you.

This is the correct way to open it...

Of course, there are some things that Wang Buxian cannot say or explain.

After all, what he knows about this time period has never happened.

Chen Ping smiled slightly. He understood Wang Buxuan's thoughts, but he didn't say it out loud. At least on this occasion, it was not appropriate.

Well, in the near future, I will have to bear the blame myself...

However, Chen Ping didn't mind this.

"Your Majesty, I think it's almost time to start preparing to build the Great Wall and build a military fort on the grassland!" Chen Ping directly changed the subject.

"No! Absolutely not! Where will the money come from?" Upon hearing that they were about to start building the Great Wall and the military fort, Xiao He immediately became energetic and objected loudly.

"The big man is not too short of money, just save some money and use it. Besides, whether to repair it or not depends on how the front line is fighting, but the Great Wall does need to be repaired, otherwise it will have to fortify the wall and clear the fields every year.

I'm afraid the people of the border county can't afford it!" Chen Ping said calmly.

"That...Mr. Chen...the money from the Ministry of Finance is not much left after repairing Luoyang..." Zhang Cang wiped his forehead subconsciously.

Not short of money?

Well, compared to before, the Ministry of Accounts is indeed less short of money now.

But the current industry and commerce have not yet fully developed, so where does this money come from?

Isn’t it the result of currency reform?

The imperial court issued an order prohibiting private minting of coins. Once discovered, they would be punished as treason. If they knew it but failed to report it, they would be sent to the border areas. Those who reported meritorious services would be rewarded with ten thousand coins and a fifth-level knighthood.

Under the heavy pressure of this combination of kindness and power, it was possible to completely guarantee that the imperial court's coinage rights would not be affected.

At the same time, it was ordered that the circulation of Qin banliang was prohibited. All Qin banliang must be exchanged for Han coins at the government, one for each.

A Qin banliang weighs twelve baht, and a Han coin weighs five baht.

After taking back the Qin Ban Liang, the imperial court unified them and smelted them into new coins. One coin was abruptly broken into two and a half coins. Did the family become rich soon?

This special girl has just had a comfortable life for two days, and you, this bitch, Chen Ping, have your thoughts on the household department again.
To be continued...
