However, there were many things that Liu Che could not tell his ministers too carefully.
Even if I say it, probably not many people will believe it.
Just when Liu Che was troubled, the good news letter from Xinhua City finally arrived at Liu Che's palace.
"One net fish caught nearly a hundred stones?" The good news from Xinhua City made Liu Che unable to believe his eyes.
In the Han system, one stone is four jun, one jun is thirty kilograms, and one stone is equivalent to one hundred and twenty kilograms.
One pound in the Han Dynasty was roughly equivalent to half a pound in later generations.
In other words, one stone is equivalent to about thirty kilograms in later generations.
One hundred stones is almost three tons!
What is the concept of three tons of fish?
In 2013, the per capita annual meat consumption in China was 62 kilograms, of which 26 kilograms of fish were consumed.
The current population of the Han Dynasty is approximately between 40 million and 50 million.
The average person's annual meat consumption may be less than one kilogram.
In other words, if Xinhua City did not lie, then Liu Che would only need to cast his net 20,000 times to meet the current national demand for meat!
If we can cast the net 100,000 times, we can immediately catch up with the Premier League and the United States and enter the third generation of rule.
No matter how I think about it, I feel that this method of catching nearly a hundred fish in one net is not very reliable.
But no matter what, the news temporarily diverted the courtiers' attention.
After all, Liu Che had already given up on Xinhua City.
Many areas in that place will serve as additional food and settlement areas for the princes.
Originally, many princes had the impression that a foreign wilderness server like Xinhua, a barbarian land, could have any good things?
Just the ginseng and fur give people some impression.
But, it’s freezing cold, who wants to go?
Many princes are prepared to throw their unfavored sons over there and use them as spare wheels and back-ups.
But at this moment, I heard that Xinhua City actually caught almost a hundred stones of fresh fish from the river in one net.
Countless people just feel their hearts pounding.
Meat, no matter what kind of meat it is, is valuable.
Even the most vulgar pork costs ten yuan per catty. Fresh fish from the Wei River costs at least five yuan per catty at the market. It is still trash fish. If you encounter a big fish that is particularly suitable for making dumplings, it will cost at least ten yuan.
Starting from five yuan per pound.
No matter what, the fish in the river are dried and sold to Chang'an. A pound of dried fish can be sold for ten yuan, right?
Nowadays, one stone of corn costs only more than fifty dollars.
An acre of land can only produce more than 100 yuan a year. Adding soybeans, straw and hay, etc., the income is only 200 yuan.
In other words, if your family's fiefdom is adjacent to the fish-producing river.
Over the course of a year, as long as you pull a thousand handfuls of stone fish from the river, dry them and sell them inland, you can earn at least hundreds of thousands or even millions in one year!
This is comparable to the annual income of a large country with thousands of households!
Not to mention, in the local mountains and forests, there are also specialties such as ginseng and fur, and the land can at least produce some. The wood in the forest, giant trees that are said to be hundreds or thousands of years old, are very common.
Once this account was calculated, many princes swallowed hard in their throats.
Affected by this, attention to the Loop issue began to decline.
All of Chang'an are talking about Xinhua and the Blackwater River where one net can catch nearly a hundred stones.
But this news can only distract some weak-willed people and the princes and ministers who are purely selfish and just want to gain benefits.
For those who are ambitious or feel they have a mission, even if a gold mine with reserves of millions of tons is discovered in Xinhua City, so what?
In later generations of the Chinese dynasty, a general said: It would be better for the grass to grow in Wanwan than to take back Wanwan Island.
Today, there are many people who deeply understand the importance of the Hetao to China and the Han Dynasty.
Wanwan Island was important in later generations because it was an unsinkable aircraft carrier that held the key point for China to advance into the ocean.
However, the Hetao at this time was of greater strategic significance to China than the Wanwan in later generations.
Because it only takes three days to go straight from Chang'an to Yunzhong County.
In other words, if the Hetao is not regained for a day, Chang'an will still be under the threat of the Huns' cavalry. As long as the Hetao is still in the hands of the Huns, the Han Dynasty can only passively defend and have no ability to actively attack.
No general or commander dared to risk the loss of Chang'an and go to the grassland to confront the Huns.
This can be seen from the deployment of troops in the Han Dynasty.
Almost all the heavy troop groups and reserves of the entire Great Wall defense line were deployed in Yunzhong, Daibei and Longyou.
The experience of previous wars and conflicts also told the Han Dynasty that only in this way can the security of Chang'an and Guanzhong be guaranteed.
Therefore, the new news only slightly distracted those who just follow the trend.
However, the veterans of the main war faction, led by the old prime ministers Shen Tujia, Quzhou Houliji, and Yuhou Luanbu, still continued to come to Ganquan Palace to lobby.
Especially Shen Tujia. He is getting older and older. He has suffered another stroke. He himself does not know how long he can live.
It might be two or three years, or he might not wake up tomorrow.
This veteran general who followed the Gao Emperor Liu Bang to conquer the world at the age of seventeen and participated in almost all the wars against the Xiongnu since the founding of the Han Dynasty dreamed of seeing Hetao return to the embrace of China.
In Shen Tujia's own words: Chao Wen Wang Shi returned to the river, and it was time for him to die!
For Shen Tujia, as long as he sees with his own eyes that the Loop is recovered, there will be no regrets even if he dies.
Facing the determined veterans and the passionate generals, Liu Che had no choice.
Only one imperial meeting can be held to unify thoughts.
Therefore, Liu Che held this military meeting destined to have far-reaching consequences on July 13th in the North Hall of Ganquan Palace.
The attendees included Shen Tujia, Li Ji, Han Daidang and other main combatants.
It also included ministerial representatives from the peace faction and the appeasement faction.
As well as the officers above the rank of captain of the Northern and Southern armies, and the civilian generals headed by Prime Minister Zhou Yafu.
In addition, Yizong, the captain of the Yulin Guards, was also transferred back from Yunzhong County. At the same time, Wei Shang, the governor of Yunzhong County, and Zhang He, the governor of Longyou County, were ordered to return to Chang'an to report on their duties.
At the same time, there were also several elders from the clan.
For a time, the stars in Ganquan Palace were shining brightly, and famous generals were like clouds.
Many famous generals and generals who will become famous in later generations can only be just passers-by in the crowd, A, B, B, D.
For example, Li Guang could only sit at the bottom of the table and act as a background.
Cheng Bushi didn't even have a position. He could only follow a group of captains and stand on both sides of the hall, acting as soy sauce. If nothing unexpected happened, he wouldn't even have a chance to speak.
On the contrary, Ma Qian from Taishi Company followed his father and sat behind a screen in the hall.
Sima Qian is almost six years old this year. According to the tradition of Taishi Gong family, he is qualified enough to follow his father, feel the majesty of the Han family, and prepare for his future succession. (~^~)
