Chapter 894 Entrustment Expansion

The Asan Continent is huge, and the territory originally belonged to the Gupta Dynasty is not too small. If you want to divide it there, it is impossible for someone to inherit it completely, and the territory must be divided.

"The Ganges River Basin and the Xindu River Basin, the minister's opinion is that they should not be enfeoffed lands." Ji Chang has been studying the geographical location of the Gupta Dynasty day and night, knowing which places are the essence, and he must not be a courtier. Mastery: "For the rest of the land, I suggest that the mountains and rivers be used as boundaries for enfeoffment."

Asan Continent is also a mountainous plate, that is, there are much more plain areas than the mainland of Han.

It wasn’t long before Han conquered the Gupta Dynasty, but enough materials were found from Gupta’s treasure house, such as some materials recording the distribution of minerals.

Compared with Zhuxia's exploitation of mineral resources, especially copper resources, in BC, the civilization of Asan Continent did not exploit mineral resources as excessively as Zhuxia's.

The history of Zhuxia is a history of wars. Large and small civil wars and foreign wars are fought almost every day. The demand for copper mines in the Bronze Age can be said to be a bottomless pit. The copper resources that are easy to mine are explored without even a little residue. None will be left.

Later came the Iron Age, iron ore resources were treated like copper ore resources, but any iron ore resources that are easy to explore and not difficult to mine must be labored, and there is no idea of ​​leaving something for future generations.

The current territory of the Han Kingdom is very large and wide, but to put it in a depressing way, the vastness of land and resources is completely used to deceive people. There are no official records of how many metal minerals can be easily explored, let alone how many are easy to mine. metal minerals.

If you want to obtain new metal mineral resources, you have to enter the deep mountains and old forests, and you may not be able to find them!

Zhuxia's side has always been in a situation of excess resources of some kind, and the only thing that can be commended is the rich variety.

I am grateful to the ancestors for not researching the real usage of coal. Otherwise, coal resources will be consumed in large quantities like copper and iron resources, leaving basically those minerals that are difficult to explore deep underground. It is difficult to see the existence of such a trenchant coal boss.

"Compared to the mainland, the mineral resources of Asan Continent are rarely exhausted by mining!" Cai Youcai, who manages the mountains and rivers resources, said: "We have discovered widely distributed iron ore in areas close to the coast!"

The so-called coastal area is Kolkata in modern India, which was originally a heavy industrial area in India and an area rich in iron ore resources.

"It's no less than the one found in the grassland!" Cai You said that the grassland is the large iron mine near Baiyun Obo, and the later Chinese dynasty built a major iron and steel enterprise in the nearby Baotou: "The result of the preliminary exploration is that it is definitely better than the local mine. More anywhere!"

With the current technology, a lot of mineral resources are simply not capable of mining, and it is still a problem whether the resources can be explored.

Like Anshan in the later celestial dynasties, Liu Yanming knew that there were rich iron ore resources there, but all the people he sent to explore were secondary ore veins, and the main mine veins could not be found.

"Is the big man short of iron ore?" Ran Min had been wondering whether he was asking for the fief to be placed in Africa.In his impression, the country seems to have never been troubled by iron ore resources.

Cai You rolled his eyes to express that he didn't want to talk to Ran Min, and went on to say, "The land in the lower reaches of the Ganges River is obviously not suitable for enfeoffment."

They are naturally loyal to Liu Yan, but only they know how loyal they are.

It is they who maintain the greatest sanity not to treat some areas as sub-fiefdoms.

The consensus reached by everyone in private is that the enfeoffment land does not need to have such a strong natural advantage, it is the soil that breeds disobedience, and there must not be such a black apple that destroys enfeoffment and becomes an established national policy!
So it is reasonable to understand that once someone is enfeoffed and enjoys independence in the true sense, but accumulates strength to rebel, the national policy of enfeoffment will inevitably come to naught.

A place that can become a large grain-producing area can only be attributed to the center, and an area with rich mineral resources cannot be used as a land of enfeoffment. The strategy is still based on a strong base and weak branches.

People of their generation should be a loyal minister, and enjoy the glory and wealth in peace and prosperity is what they should do. Don't even think about playing the game of "the emperor will take turns to come to my house next year". What will happen in the future, that is the children and grandchildren It's a matter for future generations.

Liu Yan didn't have much feeling for everyone's understanding. Everything that would happen, no matter how to avoid it, would happen, and it would not stop happening because of human interference.He may be able to control the generation of grandsons and even great-grandchildren, but he can't control the generation that goes far!
In Liu Yan's generation, he has built a system that he thinks is reasonable, and laid a large enough territory for future generations.

After giving priority to Ji Chang and Cai, they drew out some areas that could not be arranged for enfeoffment. It was nearly two hours after they finished talking.

"In this case, the land that can be divided is about the size of the original Yangzhou?" Liu Yan was already asking whether it was only a marquis, but the topic has not been formally discussed: "My lords, what are the issues about how to divide the land?"

Everyone quickly communicated with each other with their eyes.

On this kind of matter, it is more appropriate for Ji Changlai to speak up, and he said: "I think we can learn from Zhou Wu's old practice and expand it."

The old example of Zhou Wu tells that after King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang and Zhou Gong went east, facing the land, property, population, officials, army and their former vassals left by the Yin Dynasty, he adopted a policy of enfeoffing the princes to achieve the goal of screening the Zhou family. political purpose.

Ji Chang only dared to talk about learning from it, and would never propose to copy it.

With the expansion of enfeoffment, it will not only be the marquis who enjoys this treatment, and then it depends on what level of title they think it is better to start entrusting.

"In ancient times, a doctor was a great nobleman, who enjoyed food." Ji Chang obviously thought that the fifth-level title was suitable: "A doctor can get a township, and the higher the title, the higher the fiefdom?"

They must have had a private discussion, and Ji Chang opened the door, and those who were able to express their opinions later did not express their approval or opposition.

Starting from the fifth-level doctor?The current number of titles appeared in Liu Yan's mind instantly, it was a very huge number!

"People from foreign lands and races can shepherd them on behalf of the emperor." Ji Chang had a mature idea: "As I said before, a doctor eats a town in a town and goes to the state of a prince."

It means that a person with the title of doctor leads a team of his own to manage a piece of land of his own, and the aboriginals there are obviously within his jurisdiction?
Liu Yan was a little puzzled, why did he feel that this plan was a bit familiar?It seems to have seen it somewhere.
