sweeping the world

Chapter 638 Execution of heroes?

There is no ruler in the world who does not value the stability of his own rule.

If the heads of state in later generations who have a stable country will retire after one or two terms and focus more on how to develop the country, the emperors of the feudal dynasty are different.

The emperors of the feudal dynasty, they basically sat on the throne for life, and they would never allow anyone to challenge themselves until they took their last breath.

In the pre-Qin ancient times, blood was talked about, and one had to have some kind of blood to be an official and become a master, and it was extremely strict. If one was not born in a family with good ancestors, there was almost no possibility of becoming a master.

Since the collapse of the Qin Empire, the theory of blood has been broken. Liu Bang has no noble background. Before the rebellion, he was just a pavilion chief, but in the end he became the emperor of a huge country, setting an example for many people.

Of course, the rulers of any dynasty, no matter how humble they were before, will definitely talk about bloodlines again after they take control of the country.In order to protect their own family and country, the emperor talks about bloodlines, and the group of ministers from the dragon will also join the contemporary interest groups. It is their turn to maintain the noble bloodlines, distinguishing themselves from others, and at the same time protecting that society. piece of cake.

Throughout the long history, non-rulers are so strong that they will definitely challenge the contemporary rulers. It is an almost unavoidable situation. If you don't resist, you will die.

Regardless of whether it is the Tian family who replaced Qi, or the son of Cao Cao who usurped Han, or the Sima family who usurped Wei, even if there are only three examples on the table, if you want to grow your family, you should really think about it and grow yourself Will it be eliminated as a threat, or will it really make itself stronger and do something that I didn't dare to think of before.

The ministers who have not slept all night, they have to be afraid, and they should be afraid.

There are many things that are really scary to think about. They can see that Liu Yan is different from the kings of the past dynasties, but they are absolutely not sure what kind of purpose Liu Yan has in ignoring and indulging in some things.

Did the Han Kingdom established by Liu Yan depend on the aristocratic family?Obviously not.

Does Liu Yan depend on the big family again?I really didn't get any support from the big family.

Then things are very clear. Liu Yan did not rely on the family and the big family during the establishment of the Han Dynasty. On the contrary, the family and the big family got security guarantees and development after they were attached.

Liu Yan relied most on the common people during his rise, but the existence of the common people is only to provide the source of troops and output.

In such an era, aristocratic families are aristocratic families, big clans are big clans, common people are common people, and there are differences that are invisible but exist.

In any era, the common people are the largest group.Although they are enough to destroy everything once they erupt, they are also the group of people who are most likely to be ignored and have the least right to speak to the country.

Anyone would want to develop and grow their own family, but the families before the Han Dynasty were relatively rational. While they were developing and growing, they would never make the ruler feel threatened, unlike the families after the Han Dynasty.

During the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, including the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the development of each family was relatively rough, and it was even possible for several families to unite to completely empty the country.After that, it entered a cycle in which the strongest family became the royal family.

In the era Liu Yan lived in, the Central Plains was ruled and ravaged successively by the Xiongnu and the Jie people, but there were not so many dynasties changing in less than a hundred years. Each family had the ambition to develop, but they did not go crazy enough to develop and grow. Turn over the current ruler and sit on that throne yourself.

Not only did Sangyu think too much, everyone had to think about it. Liu Yan got the right to rule by expelling the Hulu, and the people who were rescued from the Hulu's ravages had to maintain enough respect even if they were not grateful.

In a country, as long as the people's sense of the ruler is not bad, no matter how many ambitious people there are, they will not be supported by the people, and no matter what they do, they will only cause small waves, and not many people will follow if they dare to raise troops. was suppressed.

So, let’s read the history books, the change of dynasty in the internal competition basically means that the ruler loses the support of the people, so there is room for those ambitious people to win the support of the people, and finally complete the change of dynasty.

A dynasty that won the hearts of the people but was overthrown must be because the ruler took the wrong route in governing the country. He was unable to enrich the people and strengthen the army internally. hands, the whole country and subjects have become inferior people.

The Han Kingdom was established seven years ago. Although Liu Yan didn't pay enough attention to the people's livelihood, he has been doing revenge on foreign races.

For the contemporary people, the people in the Central Plains have experienced the tragedy of the barbarians, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River are always living in fear that the barbarians may go south. Even the people in the south of the Yangtze River will be exploited by the aristocratic family. Liu Yan The rise and founding of the country saved the people of the Central Plains, and the elimination of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also made a good change in the living environment of the people south of the Yangtze River.

If you want to say what kind of sense the people have for Liu Yan, it will definitely not be 100% love and admiration, but there will not be too many people who have negative views.This form not only represents the stability of the country, but also represents the stability of Liu Yan's family's ruling power within a few generations.

The people who were thinking about it were terrified. They were not sure what Liu Yan was thinking. Anyway, they didn't dare to do some things too much or be too obvious. They finally focused on how to develop the family and how to manage it. country above.

Another effect of overthinking is that Liu Yan is afraid that Liu Yan will really dig a hole to bury people, so he has the idea of ​​​​"selfless contribution".

"Fundraising is a must." Of course, Liu Yan is not willing to obtain more than [-] million shi of grain from various families for nothing: "Easy to buy at local grain prices."

Han Guo said that if you don’t pay, you will get no return, so you can’t let people pay without return. Once this rule is broken by Liu Yanlai himself, you will benefit for a while, but it will not be good for the future of the country and the nation.

For the first two donations, Liu Yan gave corresponding rewards later, demonstrating what fairness is to the greatest extent, and some people even got the so-called chance.

Yu Yi was very confident in persuading the families who went to develop the Indochina Peninsula to donate food for free. Although they paid various benefits according to the regulations during the development period, the benefits they could get were still huge.

If Liu Yan hadn't opened up the Indochina Peninsula to let the families have fun, and even created incomparable convenience for their fun, the families would not have been able to do it even if they had that kind of thought.

The families who went to the Indochina Peninsula to develop, they and those families who stayed in the country have become people of two worlds, not only because they have gained huge benefits outside, but also because what they have heard and seen has made their vision and thinking reach another level. level.

As the first generation of people to receive state support for their barbaric expansion, they not only saw how big the world was, but also realized the various benefits of being a member of a powerful country.They are existences that can be wiped out at will in the Han Kingdom, but in foreign lands, they can do whatever they want with the powerful motherland behind them. This experience alone is enough to recognize the reality that those in the country cannot see.

If you want to say which group of people has the strongest sense of belonging to the Han Kingdom, the group of people who went to the Indochina Peninsula to bully the natives is the most. It is precisely because they know how much backing they have behind them that they can have fun. Yu Yi is really sure to persuade them to do it for free donate.

There is another layer. When the various families in the Indo-China Peninsula have fun, they are more or less afraid of falling into some kind of trap, or even being raised as pigs. When they can reflect their own existence value, no one dares to lag behind others.

The price of food will vary depending on the region. For example, the price of food in the north of the Yangtze River needs [-] yuan for a bucket, and in the south of the Yangtze River, it may be [-] yuan or [-] yuan a bucket. At least three or four cooked places can buy a bucket for ten or twenty dollars.

"What your majesty said is very true." Yu Yi ignored the difference in food prices caused by different regions, and even said flatteringly: "If you need to undertake transportation, we can take full responsibility."

Carrying out a large amount of transportation has always been an extremely troublesome thing, not only the time consumption, but also the preparation and wear of the transportation tools, as well as the corresponding supporting transportation personnel salaries and food consumption costs.What to transport consumes the most and has the lowest value ratio, and it is probably food.

There are so many things that Yu Yi doesn't care about now, and he is willing to donate a huge amount of food and fodder for free, and he doesn't care about the consumption of transportation. He only wants his good performance to be noticed by Liu Yan and remembered in his heart. What kind of liquidation is really going to happen? If you want to do something, just kneel down and beg to let him go.

Sang Yu, Cai You, and other families who only had a small presence in the Indochina Peninsula, there is absolutely nothing to look down upon seeing Yu Yi perform to his heart's content. On the contrary, they envy Yu Yi for having a stage where he can express himself.

There were too many things people pondered last night. Some people even dug up the historical records to read. It was too scary to see the heroes of the Western Han Dynasty being killed in various ways. After reading Liu Xiu's various outstanding heroes, they were extremely envious. They could not be sure that Liu Yan established the Han Dynasty After the country, will it follow the cruel treatment of heroes in the Western Han Dynasty, or the kind treatment of heroes in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

That's right, Liu Yan also used "Han" as his country name. If the official historian records it, he will have to rack his brains to distinguish it from the Western Han and Eastern Han.

The Western Han Dynasty established its capital in Chang'an at the beginning of the founding of the country, and the Eastern Han Dynasty established its capital in Luoyang after the restoration, so there was a distinction between the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty.After the founding of the country, Liu Yan stayed in many places for a long time, Linzi was one of them, and later he stayed in Fenggao for a while, and then there were Yecheng and Xiangguo, but the final capital city was to be in Chang'an.

The new Han Dynasty will establish Chang'an as its capital, how should the history books record it?It can't be called Xihan again!The grey-haired historian did not dare to suggest changing the name of the country. Finally, he asked the ministers for their opinions and asked if they could call the third dynasty (dynasty).

The ministers didn't dare to make up their minds, but they knew that Liu Yan was not a descendant of the imperial family of the early Han Dynasty, so what would it mean to be the third.I had no choice but to go to Liu Yan together. It was up to Liu Yan to determine what kind of recording method was the most appropriate. If it was not suitable, it was Liu Yan himself who could not bear the blame except him.

Liu Yan only realized the importance of historical records when his identity changed, and he knew very well that there was no room for sloppyness on this point.He asked everyone what his opinion was, and he made a decision when he heard about the third dynasty (dynasty). It is not a problem if the descendants of the Han royal family inherit the third dynasty. Third Reich.

It’s not that the traversers don’t have so many associations about the Third Reich. On the contrary, it’s because they don’t call it Dynasty (Dynasty), they just call it Empire and find it very pleasing and exciting.

Well, the Third Reich has come out, so whether Liu Yan will treat heroes like the Western Han Dynasty, or follow Liu Xiu's good example and treat heroes well, but no one dares to ask Liu Yan to give an explanation.

When the Shijie State of Zhao was wiped out, everyone hadn’t thought about how they would be treated. The rapid elimination of the Chenghan of the Li family and the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was already thinking about it. Murong Xianbei is about to be expelled to the Xianbei grassland, and more and more people are thinking about such a thing.

If Liu Yan intends to kill the hero, after completing the expulsion of Murong Xianbei, it is probably time to do it, and that is why everyone is eager to strengthen the family.

They had to be strong enough to protect themselves, but everyone thought about it before, and made a deep comparison last night. It seemed that no matter how strong they were, they could still be crushed to death by Liu Yan at any time.

That's right, there is no time for them to grow so big that Liu Yan is afraid to do it. On the contrary, it is more dangerous to continue to grow. They must be restrained and have a lower sense of existence. It depends on whoever dances the most happily will be unlucky first , Then those who should resign resign, and those who should run away.

By the way, thinking about those who ran away, Liu Yan expanded their knowledge and knew that the world is not just a corner of the life of the Chinese ancestors. There is a large area of ​​​​the Indochina Peninsula further north, there are countless islands on the sea, and the Western Regions further west are even more Is there a vast continent, and I heard that the ball under your feet also has other continents?
Liu Yan noticed something was wrong from the very beginning, let alone the boring meeting, everyone has a big fear that he didn't have in the past when facing himself, which made him inexplicable and at the same time he had to pay attention to it.

The meeting resolved the issue of food and fodder, and after the meeting ended, Liu Yan felt depressed and went to Linyuan to change his mood. I don't know if it was a coincidence or necessity, but he met Sang Miao.

Sang Miao is Sang Yu's clan sister, it's not a coincidence that she came here, she accompanied Liu Yan to play in Linyuan, if Liu Yan didn't ask questions, she would find a chance to talk about it.

"Huh!?" Liu Yan was very sure that he had heard correctly just now, and Sang Yu used Sang Miao's mouth to test things that could be big or small.However, he did not give Sang Miao a positive response, and after walking for a while, he said: "You continue to play, I will go to deal with government affairs."

Not long after they parted, Liu Yan asked Cui Zong: "Is this the same in your family?"

Cui Zong immediately knelt down and could not say a word.

Later, Liu Yan simply took a walk with the imperial guards. He felt depressed and ridiculous in his heart. Of course, he would not tolerate the unscrupulous growth of various families, but he never thought about killing heroes!
