Seven hundred and seventieth chapters of the Huns' temptation (2)
Liu Che was in a side hall of Ganquan Palace, resting his pillow on a few memorials and reports very casually, feeling proud of himself.
"Jue Wei Wei is indeed right. In this world, the fastest way to make a fortune is to confiscate homes!"
Just for the destruction of Jinan Kingdom, Liu Che took away a total of thirty to forty thousand gold from the Jinan Kingdom's treasury and palace!
There are countless other gold and silver vessels!
Other corrupt officials and powerful people also contributed almost 20,000 gold to Liu Che.
In addition, more than 70% of the entire land of Jinan has become Liu Che's private property.
By convention, these lands will become official lands.
In other words, Liu Che became the largest landowner in Jinan.
And land has always been the emperor Liu's trump card to win over people's hearts!
Anyway, being generous to others has always been the specialty of the Liu family.
At that time, the land occupied by Liu Xingju, King of Jibei, Liu Chang, King Li of Huainan, and Liu Bi, the later King of Wu, was basically turned into official land, and was then leased to landless farmers for farming by Emperor Liu.
Suppose that Emperor Liu was in Guanzhong and relied on Shanglin Garden to adjust the conflicts caused by land annexation.
In the Guandong area, the official field is Shanglinyuan in Guanzhong.
It's just a pity that the Liu family has always controlled a limited number of official lands in Guandong, and does not have the strategic position of Shanglinyuan in Guanzhong.
Moreover, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Who knows if the people below rent the official land to their relatives and friends?
Anyway, Liu Che knew in later generations that those who lived in low-rent housing were the "poor people" who drove BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes.
Therefore, Liu Che does not intend to follow the usual practice of turning these lands in Jinan into official land under local control.
Instead, they plan to ask the young master to go over, open a branch base, and send a few eunuchs to take charge of things. Eunuchs and the like. Even if they are corrupt, it can be easily dealt with. With one order, the proceeds from their corruption are actually a small treasury saved for Liu Che...
In addition, there won’t be too many seven aunts and eight aunts to take care of, such as eunuchs.
The country of Jinan is already like this!
Jinbei, Zichuan, and Jiaoxi are three feudal states with a land area and economic situation that are not inferior to Jinan. How much can they earn?
"I should be able to at least earn enough to fight the Xiongnu for a year or two..." Liu Che thought in his mind.
A cannon fires, and a thousand taels of gold!
In the feudal era, the cost of fighting foreign countries was astronomical!
Liu Che had someone conduct an experiment last year and sent a cavalry force of 5,000 people to maneuver along the Great Wall from Yunzhong to Youbeiping.
Finally, the conclusion was drawn that if such a cavalry group was to be maintained to fight on the outside.
At least 20,000 civilians are needed to be responsible for logistical supplies.
In addition, every month they stay outside the Great Wall will cost more than 50 million yuan!
Then, whether it is victory or defeat.
It also requires an astronomical amount of expenditure.
If the battle is defeated, the fallen soldiers should be compensated and the disabled should be resettled.
Victory would be even more incredible!
In addition to still subsidizing the soldiers and arranging for the disabled, additional rewards must be given to the meritorious soldiers. Since it is a victory, then everyone has merit. Even the civilians in charge of logistics are the same.
Three rewards of spiritual and material rewards, as well as titles, must be given according to the merits.
Anyway, Liu Che remembered that in history, Emperor Wu's single reward to Huo Qubing's army was as high as hundreds of thousands of gold!
Therefore, in ancient China, many civilian officials often opposed foreign wars.
It's not because these civil servants really hate war.
It's because fighting foreign countries, especially the nomads on the grasslands, is not worth the gain.
Regardless of victory or defeat, it is a loss-making business!
The civil servants had little interest in this kind of business that cost both their wives and soldiers.
For them, instead of spending huge military expenditures to compete with barbarians and barbarians, it is better for them to farm at home.
Unfortunately, they forgot that if the grasslands were not wiped out when the dynasty was strong, then when the dynasty declined, the barbarians on the grasslands would definitely be interested in coming to plunder China.
For them, they can basically make money by grabbing the south, regardless of victory or defeat!
It's like a beggar rushing into a bank.
Even if he only picked up a coin, it would be enough for him to buy a bun to cushion his stomach. If the robbery was successful, he would be rich!
Now, by robbing the four countries of Jibei, Jiaoxi, Zichuan, and Jinan, Liu Che can get at least about 200,000 gold reserves and gold, silver, and copper coins of equal value.
In this way, at the very least, it should be able to support at least two large-scale outbound operations.
It should even be enough to support a combat force of 100,000 people operating on the grassland for a year!
"I hope I can grab enough livestock by then!" Liu Che prayed in his heart.
The Xiongnu Empire at this time was completely different from the poor and destitute nomads of later generations.
The Huns, who controlled the Western Regions and monopolized the Silk Road, were undoubtedly a big family compared to the Xianbei, Wuheng, Rouran, and Turks that followed.
Although it is not as rich as China, it is not a pauper either.
At the very least, the tribes of the Xiongnu Empire had a large number of livestock.
In the first few years after Huo Qubing and Wei Qing came out of the Great Wall, they brought back hundreds of thousands or even millions of livestock every time they came back.
It's a pity that Emperor Wu didn't know how to use or didn't make the most of these trophies.
In Liu Che's view, if Emperor Wu regarded these trophies as rewards, they would be rewarded to his soldiers according to their merits and military exploits.
This ensures that the Han army's willingness and initiative to fight will become stronger and stronger.
The Han-Hungarian War will not drag on for hundreds of years.
"What's going on with King Donghu recently?" Liu Che asked Wang Dao.
Not long ago, King Lu Tazhi of Donghu suddenly sent a letter to Wei Shang, the governor of Yunzhong County, expressing his intention to include it.
Wei Shang did not dare to delay and reported it to Liu Che immediately.
Liu Che then asked people to investigate, and after investigation, it was found that Lu Tazhi's life was not easy now.
After the Huns held the Dragon City Conference, they were very suspicious of him. They felt that he, a young boy, was too outrageous!
Not only did they take away several pastures originally assigned to him, they even ordered him to double the annual livestock payment to Shan Yuting.
Who is Lu Tazhi?
The old Lu family, but during the periods of Maodun and Liu Bang, they were already in two different situations.
Faced with the suspicion and threats from the Huns, Lu Taizhi immediately resorted to his old tricks of throwing a tantrum and threatening to return to the Han Dynasty.
Use this as a bargaining chip to force Shan Yuting to agree to their conditions.
If he doesn't agree, it's not like he can't learn from Han Dandang's example.
After figuring out this problem, Liu Che asked Wei Shang, the governor of Yunzhong County, to act with Lu Tazhi for a while, and assumed the posture of going out of the fortress to meet Lu Tazhi.
Shan Yuting was indeed fooled, and returned those pastures to Lu Tazhi, and also rewarded him with a dozen beauties to appease him.
In this matter, Liu Che and Lu Tazhi each took what they needed.
Lu Tazhi can continue to ride on two boats, buy both sides, and both sides must win over him.
Liu Che was able to let Lu Tazhi continue to stay with the Huns.
Regardless of whether the news delivered by Lu Tazhi is true or false.
This is at least much better than knowing nothing about the internal situation of the Xiongnu!
You can also use Lu Tazhi's channel to flirt with certain figures within the Xiongnu.
It used to be Yin Zhixie, but now it is replaced by several other guys named Luantang.
No matter what these people's intentions are, whether it's a test or something like that.
Anyway, Liu Che would be happy to do it if he could cause trouble for the Huns.
"It's a pity that there is no internal strife between Yin Zhixie and the military officials..." Liu Che also had to jump a little bit.
Originally, his melon seeds bench was ready.
Who knew, these two guys actually shook hands and made peace.
This is so unscientific!
Therefore, Liu Che sent several spies through Lu Tazhi's channels to spread the story of what Yin Zhixie had done in Chang'an among the Huns. In this process, it was natural to add some exaggeration and artistic processing.
Regardless of whether this is effective or not, at least it will make Yin Zhixian unhappy!
It would be even better if it could reach the ears of military officials!
As the saying goes, as long as the hoe is wielded diligently, there is no corner that cannot be dug down!
Back then, Xiao He and Liu Bang had such a close relationship, but they still had to worry about the birds disappearing, the good bows hidden, the cunning rabbits dead, and the lackeys cooked.
The military minister and Yin Zhixie originally disliked each other and were even full of hostility.
Liu Che didn't believe that these two cousins could continue to cooperate?!
"His Majesty……"
"Urgent report from Yunzhong County..."
Before Wang Dao had time to speak, a servant hurriedly came to report: "The Xiongnu Chanyu sent envoys to hold the pass and request to come to your Majesty!"
Liu Che stood up immediately and wondered: "What do the Huns want to do?"
"Let them enter the customs..." Liu Che waved his hand and said, no matter what crooked ideas the military officials were thinking of, Liu Che was willing to play with him.
There are only two years left before the scheduled departure of the Han army.
Before Barbarossa, weren't the Nazis and Mao Zedong just like the same person?
Of course Liu Che would do such things as strategic deception.
Not long after, an official from the Xiuyi Guard also came to Liu Che and reported: "Your Majesty, King Donghu is reporting urgently!"
Liu Che took the sealed report, opened the seal, took out the cloth inside, looked at it, and then frowned.
The message from Lu Tazhi was very brief. There was only one sentence: Shanyu wanted to test His Majesty with a river.
Well, in fact, even if Lu Ta didn't say anything, when the Huns envoy arrived in Chang'an, Liu Che would be able to guess what the military officials meant.
Loop?
Of course Liu Che wants it!
However, if the Huns offered it to them, Liu Che would never want it!
Why?
Whether it's true or false, this is a bait coated with poison!
Just look at the deals the Northern Song Dynasty made with the Jin Kingdom, and you will know the Yanyun Sixteen States that were brought back.
Without fists, the territory taken back from the enemy is bound to be unstable.
In fact, the consequences may be worse than failure to regain force by force!
Besides, there is only Hetao, but there is no Yinshan Mountain.
Isn’t this Beijing without Shanhaiguan?
Throughout history, no dynasty has been able to gain a firm foothold in Hetao without the protection of Yinshan Mountain.
Moreover, did the military official think that Liu Che didn't study?
I think back then, when Mao Dun was in power, there was a famous saying that everything can be negotiated, but land alone cannot be negotiated.
"That's fine!" Liu Che thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Just let me act in a play with the military ministers!" (To be continued.)
ps: I’m a little dizzy!
That’s it for today, I need to make some adjustments
