After the beginning of spring, the country immediately started running quickly like a wound machine.
Almost the entire north has begun to enter into busy agricultural activities.
Especially in the Yanji area, last year's war caused crop failure or failure in Yuyang, Youbeiping, Shanggu and most of the Yan Kingdom.
If it weren't for the continuous flow of grain from Anton and Qilu, there would have been a famine here.
But even so, the lives of the people in Yan were already very difficult.
Fortunately, it is Bo Shi, the governor of the Andong Protectorate, who is now taking over the civil affairs of Yan.
After receiving support from the miscellaneous scholars in Anton, Bo Shi immediately imitated the policy implemented by the Anton Protectorate and organized all the people in the Yan region into households and uniformly registered them.
Then, more than 2,000 middle and low-level officials, including those from the Reclamation Corps system, were temporarily transferred from Anton.
Immediately, he announced that a rationing system would be implemented throughout the Yan Kingdom.
According to the standard of one and a half dan of corn per month for adult men, one dan for women, 18 jin for children aged 4 to 12 years old, and one dan for teenagers between 12 and 18 years old, the rations are unified.
Of course, senior citizens over 65 years old and children under four years old will enjoy additional subsidies for dried fish, oil and cloth.
In addition, officials and military personnel are rationed in accordance with the national and military systems.
As a result, under the strong supervision and suppression of the powerful bureaucratic system, there was no trouble in the Yanji area this past winter.
Even, because the bureaucratic system was so buggy, it was a tragedy for the sons-in-law in the Yanji area. They were all picked out, and then they were ignored by the government and rushed to repair the earth...
When spring comes, the ice and snow in Liaodong have not yet been digested.
The nobles, merchants, and owners of large estates in Anton could no longer bear it.
They rode carriages, paddled sleighs, even rode horses, and sat in ships, coming from all directions towards the Yanji area.
As soon as they entered Yanji, these guys were like Japanese invaders entering the village, pouring into the counties and villages, beating gongs and drums everywhere, and shouting everywhere: "Folks and elders, I am back! Folks, it is bitterly cold in Yanji, and the ground is
If you are poor, why not come with me to Anton to make a fortune, food and accommodation are included, and you are guaranteed to have a balance of 5,000 yuan a year!"
In an instant, the entire Yanji land was boiling.
Faced with these guys who bared their teeth and claws, waved gold and five baht coins, and came blatantly to 'confuse the simple people'.
The landowners and nobles of Yanji are facing a formidable enemy.
They had to increase the benefits to tenant farmers one after another, and land rents fell again and again, quickly breaking through the bottom line of 30% of land rents.
Even so, there were still a large number of unscrupulous people who did not know what was good or bad and ran away with the nouveau riche who came back from Anton!
There is no way around it, all walks of life in Anton are now hungry for talents!
Whether it is the whaling industry, the enfeoffment of feudal lords, or the gold mining industry, there is a shortage of manpower.
In order to attract immigrants, some princes even created "incentive plans" for their retainers.
If you kidnap a man, you will be given a bonus of 50 yuan!
One hundred, directly recommended as an official!
But Chen Xu and Chen Jiao were more playful.
Now they not only provide food and accommodation, but also girls!
Chen Xu even directly said that as long as someone follows him and works for him for five years, he will be assigned a girl directly!
Although these girls are most likely Xianbei, Wuheng, Dingling, and the like.
But... the singles still couldn't help but follow Chen Xu.
When Chen Jiao saw that something was wrong, she directly called out the package to allocate Korean girls...
With these two guys playing like this, the competition for local talent quickly intensified.
In order to grab people, the representatives of the princes had to follow up and shouted the slogan of allocating girls.
Facing these frightening and shameless landlords, Yanji Landlord was so frightened that he could only shrink his head and pretend not to know.
And these rich people from Anton are indeed very wealthy.
Anyone who is willing to go with them only needs to sign a contract and have it notarized by the government.
You will be immediately accommodated and greeted with good food and wine.
Some big dog owners even distribute cold-warming clothing and even various daily necessities to these people.
There is no way, Anton lacks everything now.
There is a shortage of people!
In particular, the princes have granted favors to the country. In the past few years, a family of five has been taking care of hundreds of acres of land and forests.
As a result, many feudal princes' lands were inspected by agricultural officials from the Shaofu and Da Nong, and they were all said to be top-quality fertile soil.
The yield per mu is at least four stones!
However, after several years of planting, the yield per mu has been hovering at more than two stones...
There is no way, there are too few manpower.
Immigrants from the imperial court basically joined the reclamation regiments. Immigrants who had worked hard to dig out the mainland were often deceived by rangers into gold mining, or were deceived into hunting whales by two living treasures, Chen Jiao and Chen Xu.
But even so, the majority of princes also said: Make a lot of money!
Granting a favor to a country does not require much investment.
Normally, for a country with a thousand households to be closed off, one would invest 1.8 million in capital, dig a ditch, set up a few water trucks, and buy dozens of cattle and horses.
Then you can sit on the ground and collect rent.
The rent provided by the tenants in one year was already far more than the income from their original feudal land.
Not to mention that some guys are more lucky and find some special products in the feudal country.
For example, there are old forests that produce ginseng, rivers with fish, etc., then you can make more money.
What's more important is that the emperor will soon launch the second phase of the grace and confederation of the country.
There are no manpower, no labor force, it’s just a waste of money!
These guys have calculated their own calculations. As the Han Dynasty accelerates its foreign expansion, the demand for immigrants and labor will continue to grow.
Maybe today, about one million immigrants will be enough.
However, after five years, it is very likely that five million immigrants will not be enough!
In order to poach people and obtain cheap labor for the future feudal country, and also to cultivate loyal warriors in the future.
These guys are completely shameless.
Anton's nobles are not the only ones who are shameless.
In the inland areas, where the princes and nobles gathered together such as Sanhe and Qilu, each prince began to spread money and grain to win over people's hearts.
All this intelligence and information was finally gathered in front of Liu Che.
It is already February in spring, and even the Spring Equinox is almost here.
It should be pointed out that although there were no twenty-four solar terms at this time, the eight solar terms that divided the solar terms had already appeared at least as early as the middle and late Warring States Period.
Beginning of spring, vernal equinox, beginning of summer, summer solstice, beginning of autumn, autumnal equinox, beginning of winter, winter equinox.
Therefore, at this time, the temperature in Guanzhong has risen to about fifteen degrees. Although it still feels a bit cold, the sunlight has shown great power.
Even within Weiyang Palace, Liu Che could breathe and feel the breath of spring.
After reading the relevant information, Liu Che laughed twice: "The era of colonization has arrived!"
There is no doubt that the current Chinese nobles are mentally and psychologically prepared to project their power outwards.
"Then let's start from Munan!" Liu Che thought confidently.
Munan is a geographical term.
In the Han Dynasty, it refers to the desert, that is, the vast area south of the Gobi Desert.
This desert stretches from the Daxinganling Mountains in the east to the Beishan Mountains in the south, spanning the vast area between the Mongolian Plateau and mainland China.
Like an iron curtain descending from the sky, dividing the world.
And this desert is actually very young from a geographical point of view.
About two million years ago, this place was still an oasis with abundant water and grass and groups of lakes.
During the Middle and Late Renewal Periods, due to the movement of continental plates, especially the continuous uplift of the terrain in northwest China, the area gradually became dry and eventually became the dead land it is today.
However, if people walk through the desert, they can still find many remains of various aquatic organisms left over from ancient times, such as shells and fish fossils.
To the south of the Great Gobi, in the vast Munan region, the climate is dry but relatively warm.
At least, compared to the harsh and cold Makhita area, this place is like paradise!
Therefore, in history, Emperor Wu once sent someone to send a message to Uwe Shanyu, saying: Why go so far to the cold and barren land of Mobei?
The intention was to force the Huns to surrender and surrender to the Han Dynasty at the expense of allowing the Huns to return to Munan.
But the Huns at that time were still very arrogant.
In addition, Emperor Wu also had a rather arrogant attitude, so the deal failed to be negotiated.
Nowadays, as the power and power of the Xiongnu shrink to the north.
Almost all the land and tribes in Munan were abandoned by them.
After the Han Dynasty won the Battle of Yanji, they were busy licking their wounds and resuming production and life, and only controlled the fertile grassland from Longcheng to Nanchi.
The rest of the world has almost been handed over to others.
It's okay if the time is short, but as time goes by, someone will definitely take the initiative to fill the vacuum left by the Huns.
Historically, when the Xianbei people took over northern China, they gave up their territory.
Then, in just a few decades, the Rouran people quickly became strong and powerful in the land left by the Xianbei people, and became the enemy of the Xianbei Wei State!
Therefore, Liu Che knew that if he wanted to accept and occupy Munan, he would definitely have to send out troops.
"Come here, summon me the Shanyu Guiyi..." Liu Che thought for a moment and then ordered.
Now, Luo Ying has been ordered to return home.
Ju Meng escorted Han Ding with 3,000 Tiger Guards. In addition, Dahonglu, Zongzheng and Taichang also sent more than a hundred bureaucrats and hundreds of guards to escort Han Ding southward to various tribes in Baiyue to spread the word.
The majesty of the Emperor of Han and the policy of having the same origin across Xia.
Naturally, it was time for Xia Yi to go to Longcheng to join the country and be his puppet.
Two hours later, Xia Yi appeared in front of Liu Che. As soon as they met, the guy immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the great Tianchanyu, what are your orders for summoning your servants?"
Xia Yi has been doing well in Chang'an these years.
After all, no matter how you say it, he is still a Chanyu, a Chanyu who was canonized by Liu Che himself.
Everyone is willing to give him face, and even if something good happens, they don't forget to give him a ride.
In particular, businessmen all over the world were particularly optimistic about him, the Guiyi Chanyu.
It's true that Xia Yi is now a bare-bones commander. His Hujie tribe and army have long been carved up by the powerful nobles of Anton who are like wolves and tigers.
But their signboard is still very loud.
Especially on the grassland. Nowadays, the world is divided into three parts by grassland.
The Northern Xiongnu in the north are dead but not stiff, and the Western Xiongnu in the west are corpses no matter how you look at them. Only Xia Yi is the chanyu conferred by Liu Che, a dog leg of the Han emperor, and his prospects are bright!
Businessmen are naturally willing to form a good relationship with him so that they can use his back door in the future.
Guiyi Chanyu is still a Chanyu if he no longer has power!
No matter what, he is still better than Liu Rong!
As Liu Rong looks like now, there are still a bunch of people gathered in front of him!
"The Chanyu has been in Chang'an for more than two years. I feel that it is time for the Chanyu to return to the country and come to Longcheng to educate the grassland tribes for me!" Liu Che helped Xia Yi up with a smile and said to him.
When Xia Yi heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I am willing to serve Your Majesty for the rest of my life, but I don't want to return home!"
As soon as Liu Che saw it, he knew that this guy was acting.
In fact, in order to go to Dragon City, even if it means becoming a puppet.
Xia Yi has also been busy for a long time. He even gave out a lot of money to the eunuchs and nobles in the palace, asking these guys to say good things to him.
But unfortunately, who dares to interrupt this kind of thing? Who dares to interfere?
However, Liu Che also pretended not to know these things. He said with a smile: "Chanyu, my humerus, I am currently sitting in Longcheng, educating the tribes outside the Great Wall, so that they understand the meaning of the Chinese system..."
"Furthermore, I heard that there are many unruly people in various tribes in the fortress. They do not submit to China and want to establish their own government. It is a heavy responsibility to go here alone..." At this point, Liu Che's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
After the main force of the Northern Xiongnu retreated, some people were still left behind, lurking among the various tribes in the southern part of the country.
These guys, taking advantage of Liu Che's lack of time to pay attention to them, jumped up and down in various ministries in the southern part of the country, encouraging these idiots to stand on their own and separatist rule.
There is no doubt that what these guys were fighting was to let others block the Huns' guns, so as to buy time for the Huns to recuperate and regain their strength.
And judging from the information we have so far, there are quite a few fools who have been fooled!
In this regard, Liu Che just wanted to say, if people don't seek death, they won't die!
"In October of this winter, I have ordered the Zhongyong Army to garrison in Longcheng. Now, Longcheng has been renovated, and we are just waiting for Shanyu to return to the country and command all the ministries!" Liu Che said to Xia Yi: "After you return to the country,
We should immediately summon all the tribes, declare my edict to all tribes, and make it clear to each tribe that the Xiongnu, after the Kai clan of this Xia, have the same origin as China. Now I am the king of the world, and I also regard all tribes as my subjects...
"
Thanks to the military ministers, in today's world, Han and Hungarians may still have differences on other issues, especially the issue of who is the eldest brother and who is Ma Tsai.
However, it has become a truth and consensus that both Han and Hungarian countries have the same ancestor.
Even, Liu Che heard that in order to promote the Sinicization movement of the Northern Huns, Liu Che even openly claimed that he was a direct descendant of Xia Qi, and held grand sacrificial ceremonies for ancestors such as Xia Qi, Xia Yu and Chun Wei.
According to the tradition of the Xiongnu, these ancestors were offered sacrificial blood and food.
