Chapter 692 Is the suzerain the fate of Kaizi?
Well, fortunately he is my brother. With me, the elder brother who is the emperor, Wuyi will not be short of money no matter how he works in art. Otherwise, his fate will have to be as good as Van Gogh in the future. Fortunately, a brother like me guided him and reminded him.
In addition, there is also a beautiful and gentle woman who fills this guy with the source of creation. This guy told me that when he feels that his painting skills have reached enough, he must draw countless portraits of his fiancée. In this way, even if he gets old, he can still see his young appearance with his wife.
Such romantic thoughts and thoughts made my two wives almost crazy. In desperation, I could only follow the will of heaven while guiding the Wu Wuyi, but also lifted up the brush and studied again.
In the future, I would like to draw my wives by myself, otherwise, I wonder if these two jealous and kind-hearted wives will keep talking about this from young to old age.
This is the tragedy of life. Teaching others and causing me as a master to learn again. But this is good, and having more skills is also a good world. I think later history books will add another note to the account of Emperor Taizu of the Chinese Empire: the pioneer of realistic painting and the great master of art.
The world is actually composed of two kinds of people, one is one of our own people, and the other is the enemy. In my mind, the enemies are those alien races. The alien races located around the Huaxia Empire.
Whether it is the current strong Eastern Turks, or the Tubo that has not yet unified the plateau, or the Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje who live in a corner and play the Romance of the Three Kingdoms all day long. These are all enemies of China.
Of course, there are many ways to deal with the enemy. Some can be used to be kind, while others can be used to use swords and weapons.
For example, the Dian barbarians in the Dianchi area today resisted many times when our Chinese Fuxing Army regained its control over Dianchi Lake, but each time only more people fell under the sword of our Chinese Fuxing Army.
After seeing the combat power that they could not match, the Dian barbarians finally realized that they had surrendered and sent envoys to Chang'an to pay tribute.
"...There are thirteen tribes in total, the most powerful of which are six, most of which live in the surrounding areas of Dianchi Lake and Erhai Lake. This time I came to pay tribute, I thought I hope my Chinese Revival Army would not attack their tribe." Du Ruhui was still muttering to the information sent back as always.
"I hope my Chinese Revival Army will not attack? They are thinking of good things." Han Shiyan curled his lips and said disapprovingly.
"I think we can't attack, but we have to agree to a few conditions." I stroked my brows and thought about it. "First, we must not disturb my Chinese Empire's road repair; second, we must not offend the city markets set up by China on both sides of the roads in southern Yunnan; third, we must not obstruct our Chinese vendors from recruiting people in the local area..."
"...If they can agree to these conditions, then I will enthrone their hereditary official positions according to their strength."
Hearing my words, Fang Xuanling narrowed his eyes and smiled bitterly, while Wei Yunqi was shaking his head, but his expression also showed a bit of a joke. "Your Majesty's words are great. If this strategy is achieved, at most ten years, there will be no more power to resist in southern Yunnan."
Li Xuanba and Luo Shixin, the brothers in distress, looked confused. Seeing others laughing, they didn't understand what they mean.
It is very simple. Once the road traffic is built, the difficult situation in southern Yunnan in the past will become smooth and helpless, which will increase the number of exchanges among people in southern Yunnan. It will also facilitate the vendors of our Chinese Empire to enter these areas. More importantly, for our Chinese Revival Army, it will be a smooth road.
After the city gates were repaired in these places, the farmers who worked here also had fixed residences and were able to obtain protection from the garrison. In addition, the Han people were able to reduce bilateral relations and thus play an assimilation role in contact with the Yunnan people.
As for the third article, the recruitment of local people is also to attract these Yunnan people from the mountains as soon as possible, so that they can adapt to a better life, and give up the way of survival like savages. In the long run, they will gradually recognize their identity as a citizen of the Chinese Empire.
As for those leaders, they will be corrupted by the luxury goods drawn by the merchants of the Chinese Empire, and gradually they will lose their ruthlessness and vitality as barbarians.
Moreover, the place in Yunnan is the most suitable for growing tea. Until now, I still remember the sweet taste of Tuocha in Yunnan. In addition, there are not many minerals in Yunnan. Another more important reason is that to the south of Yunnan, it is Myanmar, where countless beautiful gems are waiting for me.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel proud of my advanced wisdom. A smooth and convenient road is the best way to connect with a country's territory.
Not beyond my expectations, the ten Yunnan leaders who came to Chang'an to pay tribute expressed their determination to obey unconditionally for the conditions proposed by this young master. Well, if I don't want to obey, then I don't mind destroying one or two tribes and letting others see clearly the determination and will of this young master.
The prosperity and prosperity of Chang'an made these local old men from remote areas stunned. In the end, as the emperor of the Chinese Empire, this young master gave back to these heads. Well, most of the items tributed by the other party were so-called local specialties in the countryside.
According to past practice, as the country of sect leader, at least every head man should be given silk, utensils, utensils, and property worth about 3,000 guan.
I strongly opposed this. However, the ministers were chattering and silenced one by one. Even old-fashioned like Wei Zheng kept telling me to show my kindness and benevolence and take more money to show the style of a great country.
"Your Majesty, such rewards are not available today, but have existed since ancient times. Before the previous dynasty, the Gaochang Dynasty made contributions, and the previous emperors gave silk, jade and other items worth more than ten thousand yuan. Now, we don't give three thousand yuan of wealth, which is not much." It was Ma Zhou who said this.
"My China wants to inherit the great rule of the world and must be the sect leader of the world. As the sect leader, the world should let the world know the mind of China..." This is what Du Ruhui said.
Looking at the frivolous ministers, I don’t know how many times I rolled my eyes. In the end, the ministers who had been frivolous for half an hour finally stopped talking.
I thought about it and decided to set up a gantry formation with these guys with rigid brain thinking. I picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, glanced at the ministers, and said slowly. "I want to ask you, if there is a thousand guan in your mansion, and a person who brought a piece of silk worth ten guan and wanted to sell it to you, would you give him ten guan? Or would you give him one hundred guan?"
"...Your Majesty, what I am talking about is the major affairs of the country, not the art of merchants." Wei Zheng coughed dissatisfiedly and stood up and said.
"I know very well this. What I said is not only about merchants, but also about the survival of the people, but also about the future of my Chinese Empire." I waved my hand and showed a kind and gentle smile to the old man, but my tone was still very persistent.
"Of course I paid ten guan for it." Du Ruhui stood up and replied. "Since the other party only needs ten guan, if he takes ten guan, wouldn't he be regarded as a fool?"
"Well, Du Qing said it well. Since the other party gave you goods, you will definitely only be willing to pay money of the same value." I nodded with satisfaction. "Since my Chinese Empire will become the sect of the world, how many foreign countries will there be in my Chinese in the future?"
Fang Xuanling thought about it and reported, "When you go back to your Majesty, when the previous dynasty was at its peak, there were more than a hundred foreign countries. I really can't remember how many foreign countries there were."
"Well, more than a hundred, then my China will of course be stronger than the previous dynasty. Do you think there will be more foreign countries in China in the future?" I asked to everyone present. Everyone nodded.
"Then, the other party paid tribute to my 100-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-month-mon
"Generally speaking, a country's tribute can be worth hundreds of coins. I remember that in the past, Tuyuhun even paid more than ten thousand coins of coins, and the property given by the court at that time seemed to be less than ten times the standard. It seems that it shows that the previous dynasty lacked the style of a sect leader, right?" This young master looked at these guys' increasingly ugly faces with amusement, and was secretly happy.
"If there are 100 foreign countries, each country pays more than 50,000 guan of wealth to our China, then, will we give more than 500,000 guan of wealth to each foreign country to show the style of my Chinese sect leader? I will calculate that a foreign country of 500,000, 100, well, wouldn't it be worth 50 million? Be good... Are you really sure you want me to be so generous?" After I counted with my fingers, I was shocked even myself.
All the civil and military ministers, one of them had big pupils and their expressions were as dull as a rooster who had won the same destiny.
"Hey, your family, have you heard what I said just now?" Seeing that they were still dazed, I couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... This is too exaggerated, right? Who would have paid 500,000 yuan of property to the court without any trouble?" Fang Xuanling grinned and grinned.
