If it weren't for the fear of collapse from the inside, Liu Yan really had the mind to directly push the world island.

In terms of force purely, if the Han Empire that does not rely on the system is fully capable of directly entering Central Asia, it will only enter Central Asia, and it will be difficult to make further progress due to logistics constraints.

If Liu Yan relies on the system to conquer, it will not be too difficult to kill Europa, but it is not enough to conquer, and it is difficult to gain a firm foothold.

It takes at least ten years for the Han Empire to develop people’s livelihood, occupy so many territories, and add so many new resources. Even if the people’s lives are not improved all by one, it cannot be a precarious life.

The collapse of a powerful country is usually not simply caused by external forces, but because internal problems first appear before external forces interfere. In the end, it caused the collapse of internal and external difficulties.

Throughout the long history of history, any country that can be called a powerful country is not destroyed by pure external forces. Only those countries with small countries and few people can easily be destroyed by pure external forces.

In the history of Zhu Xia, from ancient times to the pre-Qin period to modern times, the country was destroyed every time because of internal problems.

If the internal troubles are not fatal, the Central Plains dynasty will be able to lose out in advance and then counterattack even if it faces the strongest enemy country. Even if it cannot destroy the enemy country under counterattack, it can also enter the stalemate stage.

Not only the Central Plains dynasty of Zhu Xia, but in fact many powerful countries are like that, such as the Seleucid Empire and the Parthian Empire.

When the Seleucid Empire and Parthian Empire entered the stage of subjugation, they lasted for at least several decades, and they really had to shrink and even continue to survive for one or two hundred years.

Rome's "living and panting" stage is even longer. They have lost part of the territory of Europa, and Eastern Rome will continue to exist for thousands of years.

Liu Yan can imagine that if he goes on desperately "recklessly", although he can expand to the greatest extent in his generation, it is absolutely inevitable that he cannot survive the second life.

There are lessons from the past, what a great man Qin Shihuang was, what he did was to merge the six countries with the same origin by force, but because he only achieved the merger by force, he did not conquer it ideologically.

The time of unification was too short, and the people of the generation who lived in the dispute did not die. After waiting for the death of the First Emperor, didn't they jump out one after another?

The same root is the same. What the Han people want to conquer are alien races that have never been connected before. It is impossible to assimilate and merge them in a short period of time.

"Who doesn't understand this truth?" Si Hongzhuang talked with Qian Jian just now about the reason why the expansion of the Han empire was blocked: "Let's talk about the people's livelihood in China. The foreign race in the conquered land is a trouble that cannot be ignored."

There are not many places to be conquered. Si Hongzhuang is about to go to the Indochina Peninsula, and Qian Jiantong is also going to the Asan continent.

In fact, the Indochina Peninsula is pretty good. Although Zhu Xia had few contacts with it in the long history, there were still some countries with Zhu Xia's mark.

The Asan Continent is different. Zhu Xia’s records on the Asan Continent are just a few words. Even those countries claiming to be the Western Han or Eastern Han vassal states. The Western and Eastern Han dynasties didn’t know that there was such a thing at all, but those countries borrowed them. The prestige of the Western and Eastern Han dynasties intimidated enemy countries that had ambitions against them.

"Take it slowly." Qian Jiantong thought of his own ‘indicator’, and he did not forget Huan Wen before leaving, but he had a special reminder. He said leisurely: "I ship 1.8 million to the mainland in a year, and it will be gone in a few years?"

"..." Si Hongzhuang was speechless and looked forward to the sky for a long time. Shente had a million and eight hundred thousand a year. He was really such a foreigner, even if he was afraid of death, he would despair and resist. He looked at Qian Jiantong, and in the interest of a good friendship, he said, "Come on."

Qian Jiantong is not joking, he is serious.

In a short period of time south of the Yangtze River, a large number of Asan needs to be exchanged for Nanyang monkeys. The first batch is 200,000 yuan. Is this a hard target, or Qian Jiantong needs to do it within half a year after taking office.

"Although the great man has destroyed the Gupta dynasty, don’t there still have dozens or hundreds of states?" Qian Jiantong felt that the Gupta empire was really a weird country, and there were so many states within a country: "Those states are not in conflict. Less, right?"

Si Hongzhuang understood immediately. He knew that the first thing Qian Jiantong did after taking office was to push the states into chaos. The states could not really fight for life and death. What he needed was to capture the opponent's population.

"First invest in the acquisition, anyway..." Qian Jiantong grinned and continued: "Anyway, they will vomit as much as they eat."

There are actually very few countries in the Gupta Empire. There were more than 3,000 countries in the Zhou royal family when the Zhou royal family was the most. It can even be said that the power in the country in the Zhou royal family is more than The kingdoms of the Jiuduo dynasty were much larger, that is to say, it is rare for Qian Jiantong to read the history books.

There are quite a few countries with similar situations, such as Sassanid and Rome. Although they are a unified country, the number of "countries within a country" is still considerable. It is a different form, such as aristocratic private ownership or It is a fief.

The Central Plains dynasty on Zhu Xia's side stopped before Liu Yan founded the country. The only one without a "country within a country" was the Qin Empire after the First Emperor swept across the Eight Wastes, or the previous princes and marquis also had their own. manor.

Isn't it because of the reopening of feudalism in the current Han Empire? Compared with the previous dynasties, Liu Yan is generous to the extent that he can go to the fifth rank to lead a village to Asan, and the marquis can still have his own marquis state. In a broad sense, nowadays There are probably thousands of "countries within a country" in the Han Empire.

Let alone now, as long as human society does not collapse, can there still be a lack of the existence of a "country within a country"? There may be differences in names, but they are fundamentally the same.

"Looking at the Dibao, the local slaves of the Han Dynasty have already exceeded 13 million." Si Hongzhuang was a little melancholy: "If according to the trend, the day when the number of slaves exceeds the common people, it will soon appear."

Qian Jiantong said happily, "Isn't it good to exceed it? There are more slaves, which means that there are more people with titles and more government labor."

Si Hongzhuang was originally unwilling to remember that Qian Jiantong was a descendant of the Huns. The problem was that Qian Jiantong didn't care about the number of slaves at all, so he had to remember.

"Da Qin has always had more slaves than the people of this country. When exaggerated, it is a Da Qin compared to 30 slaves." Qian Jiantong ignored Si Hongzhuang's face and said, "The slaves of Dahan want me to say It’s still too little. If all the work is handed over to the slaves, wouldn’t he be able to concentrate on training? That way, the man will not be short of troops."

Si Hongzhuang looked up at the sky again.

The former Western Jin dynasties and aristocratic families, including the tyrannical and powerful, Quan Teya thought so. It was also the first and only dynasty in which the number of alien slaves far exceeded the population of the country among the many native dynasties in Zhuxia.

What happened in the Western Jin Dynasty was that the war caused a sharp decline in the population. Everyone was in short supply of labor and dared to accept it regardless of any labor. It would be fine if they were strong enough to suppress them, like the Romans suppressed until they waited for the Huns to drive the Goths into the disaster.

The problem is that those people in the Western Jin Dynasty were purely brain-dead, patronizing the royal family and killing each other. They didn't even hold it down for ten years.

Precisely because of the brain damage from the Western Jin Dynasty, the Han people now enjoy the dividends produced by the labor of foreign slaves on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are somewhat afraid of repeating the same mistakes and are under a very complicated mentality.

"It is a good thing to liberate more people, even if it is not as a source of troops." Qian Jiantong thought of the various workshops that have sprung up in the south: "Now there are people who have slaves, and the work in the fields is given to slaves. Go work and make money."

There is another phenomenon that Qian Jiantong did not say. He didn't know in other places. The textile owners on the grassland had begun to use slaves on a large scale. In the beginning, they only used slaves for grazing. Mainly those slaves were also good at grazing. The use of slaves in the subsequent processes has been increasing.

To put it bluntly, that is an inevitable phenomenon. Slaves can be used arbitrarily with a one-time purchase, and there is no need to pay monthly wages.

When it comes to squeezing slaves, who do you complain to if slaves have no human rights?

It's different when facing free people. When you squeeze, you must be careful, for fear that you will be squeezed so hard to sue.

More simply, the use of slaves can reduce labor costs to a minimum. It is also a commodity. The profit of hiring free people and the profit of using slaves are at least three times different. However, there is no owner who does not pursue profit. It is conceivable. Under the premise of knowing that you can choose, how will you choose?

Qian Jiantong did not say, but Si Hongzhuang did.

"The Ministry of Education is already negotiating a decision." Si Hongzhuang also heard some gossip, but he didn't guarantee that it was true. He just guessed it as a casual chat: "I heard that it is a hard and fast rule. In terms of scale, the minimum number of people to be hired."

Qian Jiantong didn't care much about this. His family engaged in animal husbandry. In addition to the slave benefits brought by the title, they basically chose the descendants of the Huns for employment. According to the outside world, those people were skilled, but they knew that they were caring for groups with the same roots.

It is not Qian Jiantong’s family alone that would do that. Han people give priority to employees and choose people close to them. They can be clan members or folks in the village. In fact, related households have priority.

The current relationship households will not spend their wages on foreign workers or do more excessive things, on the contrary, they will work harder than outsiders. This is also a true phenomenon that the affection between relatives (neighbors) has not collapsed. They fully understand the importance of affection, and they understand the benefits of the development of related people.

"That..." Qian Jiantong also had some gossip, but he still confirmed the true news: "General Hussar has already submitted a construction policy letter to the Menxia Province. It is proposed to castrate the Xiong ** Li."

Si Hongzhuang also knew the news. He didn't mention it before he liked or disagreed. The first moment he heard the news, he had an endless admiration for Ran Min.

The Ministry of Minority is a deliberation department. Naturally, it is necessary to gather opinions from all parties, from the important ministers of the country to the people of the Li people. Anyone who has any ideas and the courage will not care about any suggestions, and they can be sent to the Province Offices set up in various places.

Submit directly to the Provincial Government Office under the Miyagi Gate. That is a privilege of high-ranking officials. It is one thing to submit it, and whether it will be approved is another matter. To say that the privilege is only a lot less. The review process directly enters the semi-final review stage.

The privileges of the Han Empire were laid out clearly, not unspoken rules and black-box operations.

According to Liu Yan, that is to encourage those who are able to make more contributions if they want to enjoy the privileges.

"I heard that it was directly rejected by the subordinate province for the first time?" Qian Jiantong once again learned of Ran Min's brutality, and wondered that Ran Min would not consider his name? He said with a weird expression: "It was rejected twice in a row. The third time General Hussar expressed his position directly, and he did not give a reason for rejection. He wanted to single-handedly challenge him and save everything."

The three servants in the province are Cai You, Xie Ai and Wang Meng.

Xie Ai is supposed to be able to do ten tricks under Ran Min's hands?

What is certain is that Cai You and Wang Meng are side by side, which is what Ran Min can knock down with just one punch.

Therefore, Ran Min said that he wanted to single out three, he was confident that he would win, and he was much more confident than clamoring for a single single against all the chief officials of Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province.

One thing to know is that, except for the Zhongshu Ling Jichang and Shangshu Ling Sang Yu from the Central Book of the Book Ministry, Huan Wen and Xie An in the six Shangshu books are not low, and Yu Yi and Lu Yi are even better than Xie Ai. Cai You and Wang Meng are very strong, and the remaining Fushou and Tian Shuo's force values ​​are not worth mentioning.

"The version I heard is a bit different from yours." Si Hongzhuang also had a weird expression on his face: "The version I heard is that General Hussar is holding a suspected dynamite bag, but it is actually a quilt. The home of three servants. None of them fell, one family went to ask the reason for the rejection."

"..." Qian Jiantong once again refreshed his impression of Ran Min~lightnovelpub.net~ I can imagine that the three servants were absolutely frightened: "It's really...it really is..."

Si Hongzhuang is a military commander, and he is still very happy that there is a sturdy boss like Ran Min in his camp, who is shocked and stunned by Ran Min's actions repeatedly.

"Have you heard about when General Hussar will be in the country?" Qian Jiantong thought that he was Tianzhu Protectorate, and that there was Ran Min's Hou State in Tianzhu Protectorate, his legs suddenly felt a little weak: "You are wrong. No one will really stay in their own country. Have you heard of when the Hussar General will patrol the country?"

"..." Si Hongzhuang was about to tell Qian Jiantong the news. He learned from Xie Ai: "Including General Hussar, there are 14 Hou Ye who will choose a day to visit the Hou country this year. "

"!!!" Qian Jian's legs softened, and he still sat on the deck with his hands supporting the ship guardrail without a soft butt. He swallowed a sip of water, and asked in a panic: "Do you know the exact date?"

How could Si Hongzhuang grasp the information? He didn't know whether he should take a gloat or a sympathetic attitude, facing Qian Jiantong, who was lying on the guardrail by relying on his upper body to appear soft.
