Chapter 926 Too Much Money!
To put it bluntly, if the Han people refuse to accept women from other races, it is not uncommon for many of them to spend their entire lives as singles, or to marry a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Han girl at the age of 50 or [-].

The ratio of Han men and women has always been very different. Since the ninth year of Yuanshuo, the country's wars have appeared to be for the expansion of territory. In fact, no one is ashamed to say that they are carrying out population plunder.

The government opened up all over the country, only to promulgate the "Plunder License" in a blatant manner. The Han people first rushed into the Indochina Peninsula, and caught the aliens one by one. The male aliens must be used as slaves, and the female aliens must be treated Much more complicated.

There are quite a few people of yellow race in Indochina, but there are more people with dark skin.

Speaking of which, the Han Chinese are quite receptive to dark skin.

Those who can keep their skin fair are high-ranking officials and nobles. Common people need to work daily, and their skin will turn dark after being exposed to the sun for a long time. The common people do not have much resistance to accepting dark-skinned women from different races.

"There is no shortage of (female) slaves from the Indochina Peninsula in the minister's family." Ji Chang said with an extremely satisfied expression: "The men over there are very unbearable, but the women are actually pretty good."

Men in the Indochina Peninsula are basically too lazy to die, while women are very diligent.

Han Chinese people never marry a wife based on their looks, but whether they can manage the family.They found that the women in the Indochina Peninsula they obtained were wives who could manage the house. Even if their facial features were different from those of the Han women, they were very happy.

Liu Yan was actually quite speechless. He knew that those male monkeys in the later generations were indeed very unbearable. He didn't expect that it was not the modern age that was so unbearable. It turned out that it was like this in ancient times.

"I asked my officials to do a survey." Ji Chang decided to use the data to speak: "The survey shows that more than [-]% of the people are satisfied, and only [-]% are dissatisfied. The dissatisfaction is that some customs are different."

Is that a bad joke?Liu Yan was happy, and all the ministers who came to thank him also laughed in unison "haha".

The language barrier between Han people and women of different races has never been a problem. In fact, even Han people have "different pronunciations for ten miles, but different customs for hundreds of miles". Therefore, it is not an obstacle for women of different races not to understand Chinese. very important.

Today is the second day of the first lunar month in the 13th year of Yuanshuo, and it took one night to proclaim the emperor and confer rewards. Whether Liu Yan is willing to reward, or whether the rewards have met his expectations, the act of thanking him must be necessary.

One after another, people entered the palace to express their gratitude. According to the procedure, Liu Yan needed to hold a banquet.

The 37 Marquis came here one after another to give thanks, and now they are arranged in the ring-shaped seats of Zhangtai, sitting in the shape of a guard Liu Yan.

During the Chinese New Year, not only the people need to rest, but the officials also have a one-month rest and bathing holiday.

People don't have much time to enjoy themselves. Depending on the family situation, some people who are poor and self-motivated will start working after three days of rest.

Officials have a one-month vacation, but in fact, many officials do not take consecutive vacations. After the ninth day of the lunar new year, they are in a state of rotating vacations with their colleagues.Individual officials are on duty as usual after the ninth day of the ninth day.

Everyone in the world has time to rest, but Liu Yan doesn't have a day's vacation. For example, holding a banquet today is also a part of work.

Liu Yan was throwing a banquet to entertain his ministers, while Cui Wan was also throwing a banquet.

What Cui Wan was dealing with were the main wives of Lord Hou, and what she hadn't done in the past would be done today.

The so-called thing is to give imperial orders, and Cui Wan will give them imperial orders with corresponding treatment as a queen, and women with imperial orders can also receive salary every month.

"Indochina Peninsula is a treasure trove!" Xu Zheng was hungover last night and entered Miyagi again without a short sleep. If he was not wearing incense clothes, he would definitely smell like alcohol: "It's a very good place!"

Drinking a few cups during the Chinese New Year is a certain thing, and it’s not just a few cups when you encounter happy things. One of the 37 marquises drank a lot last night. If it weren’t for the need to enter the palace the next day, Xie En must have had a drink Rather drunk.

Only a few of them were not wearing incense clothes, and one of them was Ran Min.

"That's His Majesty's favor." Although Ran Min smelled of alcohol and stayed up all night last night, he was very energetic: "Everyone who rushed over has made a fortune!"

The crowd laughed "haha" again.

The Indochina Peninsula is the first paradise for the Han people after they stepped out of the old land of the Han family. The first to enter the arena is the army, and the army behind them has become the magic needle of the sea.

The so-called Dinghaishenzhen never moves lightly, otherwise, how could it be called Dinghaishenzhen, and it would be cheaper for some bold people.

Looting by the army is a model of confiscation and redistribution, while private individuals need to pay taxes.

The distribution mode of the army is basically [-]% confiscated. A soldier can get [-]% of what he plunders. Soldiers without wives are allocated high-quality women of different races according to their merits. Prices for purchases in the army.

For private plundering teams, their taxation methods are relatively complicated. Luxury goods imports have to pay as much as [-]% of the tax, and non-luxury goods have to pay [-]% of the tax. At the same time, food items are not taxed.

In fact, the high tax on luxury goods is a very reasonable thing. They can be sold at a high price, and the buyers will also be rich people. An ordinary item can be sold for [-] baht, but a luxury item can Selling tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of five baht coins, even if [-]% of the tax is collected, the seller can still get five baht coins far more than ordinary items.

Officials will set high taxes on luxury goods, which is actually to curb and crack down on luxury goods transactions.

The level of civilization in the Indochina Peninsula is not high. When the Han people plundered there, most of the time they couldn’t get anything that was too valuable. If they could get luxury goods, it was either because they got lucky and just snatched a rough jadeite. Or other aboriginals who built houses with rough stones, or the aboriginal village is just right next to the gold panning, or it is really impossible to grab any luxury goods.

In the early stage, the army and private plundering teams could still have a good harvest of materials, but they basically robbed them all later, and their eyes were fixed on the indigenous population.

Relevant data show that after the Han people rushed into the Indochina Peninsula, they created economic benefits of more than one million baht in a few years, which was based on the premise of discovering many emerald mines, gold mines and many valuable woods.

It can be said that as long as the Han people who went to the Indochina Peninsula, none of them returned home poorly. Not only did the people who went there get rich, but the country also kept belching full of food.

Economic benefits are just one of them, and plundering a large number of people is actually more valued by the country.

The labor force captured from the Indochina Peninsula alleviated the shortage of labor force in the country. It is relatively important to solve the marriage problem of at least 30 bachelors.

Taxes must be paid. Without the strength of the country behind them, it is not their turn to rob them unscrupulously.

Private individuals should never talk about why the fruits of their labor should be divided into profits. The situation is opened by the country's army, and there is also a powerful country behind it.

If a country is not strong and robs other countries, do you believe that if the robbed country files a complaint, your own country will send people to arrest and give an explanation?
With the example of the Indochina Peninsula, it is the reason why the subsequent wars against the outside world have not received much opposition.

Later, facing the Western Regions is another model. The state comes forward to organize, the regular army is the auxiliary, and the civilian forces are the main force.

"The example of the Western Regions is very good." Xu Zheng is in charge of military affairs, and he can see quite a lot of data: "The expenditure of the state funds is only for the necessary armed forces, uniform uniforms, and early stage supplies. The investment is only 500 million (five baht) money)."

If an army is sent, the preparation for the 500 troops will not only be 8000 million five baht, but at least [-] million five baht, or even more.

The 8000 million five baht will only be the first batch of expenditures, and there will be more expenses in the future. Depending on the progress of the war and whether it goes well or not, it would not be too strange to spend hundreds of millions of five baht after the battle of the Western Regions .

The simplest example is that Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty made three expeditions to the Western Regions. The first time he saved some 8000 million baht, but the second time it increased to [-] million five baht, and the third time it cost more than [-] million baht. baht money.However, the number of troops dispatched repeatedly will not exceed [-] at most (not counting the civilians who bring their own dry food).

The Han family always looked at the income when they started the national war. Even if the Western Han Dynasty fought the Xiongnu for revenge, they paid attention to the expenditure and harvest. They said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a militaristic person. Why don’t you take a look at how many people actively brought their own dry food at that time? Follow the army, why not investigate the drop in domestic meat prices after the Han-Hungarian war started.

"The data that can be seen..." Ji Chang didn't mean to stand for the military, but said fairly: "Although the gains are not as great as attacking the Indochina Peninsula, there are still 34 million (five baht) benefits."

The income Ji Chang mentioned is not the net profit of the land, but the slave trade that follows is included in the calculation.

At that moment, Liu Yan looked at Huan Wen, and then everyone's eyes were on Huan Wen.

"The Battle of the Expedition (Hanji War) is only a preliminary data." Ji Chang is still the prime minister, and he has to read some data if he doesn't want to: "It is only a preliminary data, and the statistical income exceeds four Indochinese Peninsulas, reaching 400 million."

Huan Wen immediately showed a reserved smile.

Ah San is so rich that even the Romans and Persians are jealous. The Han army estimated that it has reached 280 billion based on the gains in Fahrenheit City. If it is not a big city, there will be more gains in places. It depends on the nature of the region, and some are rich. Gold's Asan City pool is very profitable.

"400 million is only an estimate of [-]% of the gains." Ji Chang really couldn't help but look at Xie An, who will become the Minister of the Household Department, and joked: "Anshi will only estimate the gains of the Asan Continent in the future. It will be very busy.”

It caused another burst of "haha" laughter, and they were happy in their hearts while laughing.After all, the location of their Marquis is in the Asan Continent.

It is estimated that the fourth achievement has a value of 400 billion, which does not mean that the latter 600% will have a value of 100 billion. It is not certain that the latter [-]% will not even have an estimated value of [-] billion, but they are willing to think in a better direction .

Liu Yan's Han Kingdom has never been short of money, and it can even be said that there is too much money.

Before the gold and silver were plundered from the Japanese islands, there would be no shortage of gold with such a bug as Liu Yan. With the gold and silver from the Japanese islands, they obtained wealth from those defeated countries again and again. In fact, if it were not for the official control Excessive circulation of precious metals among the people, and the need for a gold coin to buy a steamed stuffed bun should have happened a long time ago.

Money is money because it buys goods.

Once gold floods, gold will not be more valuable than iron, and even the value of gold will be far lower than iron, at least iron can be made into various tools and weapons.

They chatted all over the morning, and around noon, the 37 Marquis left Miyagi together, and their wives would not go home until evening.

To stay until night?That is the custom of going back to her natal home on the second day of the first lunar month.

How did the custom of going back to her natal home on the second day of the first lunar month come about?That must have existed in the Ming Dynasty, and the origin of the custom was rectified by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Two important customs in China, eating moon cakes and going back to her natal family, are both related to Lao Zhu.

After the minister went back, Liu Yan started his busy work again.

For Liu Yan, who is both the emperor and the emperor, there are too many most important and complicated things during the Chinese New Year, especially today there is an extra proclaimed emperor.

Some important sacrifices are also one of the things that the emperor must do every year, but Liu Yan's situation is a little special, the link of worshiping the ancestral temple can be omitted, and only the sacrifices to the Xuanyuan Temple.

The sacrificial offering was done on the same day by Liu Yan, along with the officials and those with high titles, after awarding the officials.

What Liu Yan needs to be busy with today is to deal with the choice of beauties from various countries, the most important of which are Rome and Sasanian.

"How are you doing what I asked you to do?"

"Return to Your Majesty, initial results."

The current state treasury of the Han Empire is too much money to know how to spend. It will not start a large-scale war of extermination in the short term. It is imperative to maintain peace with other countries and start trade. Then marriage with Rome and Sasanian So logical.

Liu Yan began to read some information from the investigation, all of which were rumors about the marriage partner.

Marriage is bound to happen. Fortunately, there is a choice. Before looking at her appearance, I need to know about her past. Because I don’t go directly to her country to collect information, I can only get a partial view from those who came with her. , but still doing better than not doing well.

Liu Yan looked at it all, picked up a pen and drew on the list.

Those who hit "X" are naturally eliminated.

Those who hit "O" are on the standby list.

She who is passed will go through a round of selection based on her face, and Liu Yan has to look at it and think she likes it before proceeding to the next round.

"Is it the first time I opened a big stick to diplomatic relations?"

But Liu Yan made a mistake again. The first person to use "big stick diplomacy" was Emperor Shihuang, who not only accepted beauties from the six kingdoms of Zhuxia, but also some beauties from other countries and races.
