In the Han Dynasty, some things were extremely inefficient and could take several months just to discuss. However, some things were always carried out vigorously and resolutely. All difficulties and obstacles were not problems in the end. The key was whether Emperor Liu was involved or not.
, how determined you are.
What Emperor Liu and his son discussed at night soon reflected on the executive level of the central government. On the next day, just after Liu Min woke up from a hangover, he received a report from his trusted officials that the imperial court had issued an edict.
Because it was on the day of Ding Wei, it was named "Ding Wei Zhao". The meaning of the imperial edict was basically based on what Emperor Liu and his son had discussed, without much difference, and fully reflected Emperor Liu's will.
Anxi is divided into two, but it is not bounded by Qiuci as mentioned by Liu Min, but by the Tianshan Mountains as the dividing line. The north belongs to Anxi, and the south belongs to the newly established Gaochang Road.
Gaochang Road, as its name suggests, basically covers the original territory of the Gaochang Uighurs, and even expands westward to include the vast area south of the Tianshan Mountains, including affluent places like Shule. Even though Gaochang is the leading city in the Western Regions
, the administrative seat of the new Gaochang Road was also moved westward to Yanqi City, with the effect of governing the four directions from its residence.
As for the New Anxi Governor's Office, it was built on the former Black Khan territory, and most of the area north of the Tianshan Mountains was under its rule. Suiye was the political and military center, and it was also the traditional "Anxi". In the words of Emperor Liu, so,
The Anxi Governor's Office will be more streamlined, allowing Liu Min to unload the "burden" of Gaochang Road and concentrate on development and development.
As for the series of political, military, and economic support for Anxi, it is also clearly stated in Ding Wei's edict, and that trust and sustenance are also fully reflected. The last time, the Northeast Development was decided and the development of Anton was carried out.
support.
This east and west, two major governor's offices, two princes, and two princes, can be regarded as Emperor Liu's greatest contribution to consolidating the Han's border defense. With the issuance of Ding Wei Zhao, the previous months-long discussion about Anxi
The discussion finally came to an end and the matter was settled. Even if some people were still hesitant, they did not dare to say any more.
Immediately afterwards, the news came out that Emperor Liu had dismantled the "Dragon Boat" and the "Phoenix Palace" and sold them to raise funds to support the needs of immigrants and pioneers. This incident also attracted the attention of both the government and the public. Regarding Emperor Liu's remarks
The ministers had different reactions to this move. Some were full of admiration, while others were greatly embarrassed. The reason for the embarrassment was simple. His Majesty the Emperor even brought out his own ship. How could they not show any expression.
So, after only two days of preparation, a unique auction was held in Luoyang Mansion Office. To put it bluntly, this was another money-making activity, but it also caused a sensation in Luoyang.
On the day of the auction, the upper class dignitaries and celebrities in Xijing gathered in Luoyang Mansion Office and actively bid for the auction. The reason for this effect was to please Emperor Liu by bidding on the one hand, and watching the excitement on the other hand. After all, Emperor Liu took the royal family to the auction house.
Taking out his belongings and selling them off, this kind of condescension from a humble person was a strange thing in the Han Dynasty.
The more positive ones are the "ordinary" businessmen. For them, being able to receive an invitation and participate in such a grand event is also a reflection of status and cannot be more honorable.
During the more than twenty years of economic prosperity in the Han Dynasty, a large number of wealthy merchants emerged in the country. In the social environment of the rapid development of the commodity economy, it could not be contained by the imperial court by cutting a few leeks.
But similarly, due to national conditions and concepts, wealth has increased, but social status has not improved accordingly, or the improvement is not obvious. For many businessmen, how to obtain a higher social status is also a matter of their active efforts after successfully making money.
Obtained.
Some people choose the traditional way of purchasing land, joining the landlord class, training their children, and becoming officials. Some people go deep into the big cities to develop and expand industries, and at the same time, they sharpen their heads and infiltrate into the circles of the powerful, hoping to gain the respect of the nobles.
Appreciation and support can overcome class restrictions.
And how can ordinary people break into the circle of powerful people? Most of the time, if you want to be a cow or a horse, you are not qualified. The auction held in Luoyang Mansion is undoubtedly what most businessmen are looking forward to.
, is a rare opportunity. It is really worth paying a deposit of 5,000 yuan, buying a ticket to attend the conference, and buying an opportunity to communicate directly with the powerful.
The progress of the auction indeed exceeded many people's expectations. Whether it was the Shaofu, the two yamen of Luoyang Mansion, or the powerful officials who were responsible for organizing it, it seemed that they all underestimated the enthusiasm of these merchants.
At the auction, they were the ones who bid the highest and the most brutally. An ordinary Dongzhu worth two hundred guan could fetch ten times the price. The one with the largest size and the best quality was sold for 1
Wan Guan. And the "Dragon Boat" and "Phoenix Palace" are decorated with thousands of various kinds of pearls.
Not to mention other things, and for those merchants, they showed off their strength and financial resources without any scruples. On such occasions, it seemed that money was worthless.
The item may not be worth that price, but if you ask those who bid for it, there is only one word: value. Not to mention opportunity, influence, and other things, just the four words "imperial object" are worth it.
Those "cheap businessmen" are working so hard, how can the dignitaries present at the meeting be content with being behind others? Otherwise, if the news spreads, let them put their face somewhere else, and spread it to the ears of the emperor, wouldn't he think that they are enjoying these things?
People who are blessed with state salaries and benefits are not as active as businessmen.
After three days of intense auctions, more than 10,000 lots were all bought by someone, and the amount of money calculated was enough to shock everyone's attention, totaling more than 21 million yuan.
When this number reached Emperor Liu's ears, Emperor Liu was shocked. He even repeatedly confirmed it with Lu Mengzheng and others. After receiving a positive answer, he sighed: "Are these people crazy or stupid?"
, Although I don’t know the actual value of those things, the premium is indeed too high, terrifyingly high! However, it can be seen that the big man has indeed made a large number of people rich, which is also a manifestation of the strong national power!"
This incident made Emperor Liu really want to hold more auctions like this, but he quickly restrained himself. You still have to pay attention to the food and appearance. It is difficult to replicate such a grand occasion. The enthusiasm of those people
, this time it has been almost consumed. It can be done on a small scale, tens of thousands of pieces at a time, no one can handle it, and blood sucking is not like this.
Of course, such a much higher-than-expected income was unexpected by many people. After the news spread, even the Financial Secretary was interested in the money and wanted to borrow it. However, Emperor Liu had already said that this was a special fund for
It was used by Han immigrants to develop, so Emperor Liu blocked it very simply.
After the auction was over, the next step was the issue of payment, which was very humane in this aspect. It gave a full fifteen days. Of course, there was no question of whether it could be collected in full. This was the most authoritative thing about Da Han.
There is a "judicial auction". If this is a breach of contract, it is not a matter of sanctions, but a crime of confiscation and beheading. No one dares to despise the imperial power and violate the power of God.
And Emperor Liu has also made a good distribution of this money. Anxi has it, and Anton will not be left behind. There are even other directions, and it is not all given at once. With such a sum of money, at least in the next ten years
Internally, in terms of immigration and development, the court will be able to spend more freely and face less resistance.
