sweeping the world

Chapter 933 Can You Not Talk About Business?

After reaching Liu Yan's level of power, there is actually not much happiness that can make him feel heartfelt.

In empire-level countries like Rome and Sasanian, princesses don’t want to be princesses, but they want to come to the Han Empire to be a female official who may not be as high as the eighth rank. Although Liu Yan sensed something wrong, it’s just that they are willing to do so. But doing it will make Liu Yan still have a sense of joy from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Yan can already feel the loneliness and emptiness brought about by mastering absolute power. If he hadn't had a bigger goal waiting to be completed, he doubted whether he would become a real tyrant to toss the domestic people. For all kinds of fun.

If you have a goal and want to achieve that goal regardless of the actual national strength, the First Emperor has already set an example for future kings of a country.

For Liu Yan, there is another example of Yang Guang in the back, and compared to the first emperor who was repeatedly hacked, Yang Guang was hacked worse.

The first emperor did have some places worthy of being hacked. The Afang Palace and Lishan Mausoleum cannot be erased.

But is it wrong to say that Yang Guang beat Goguryeo?Since it was wrong, why did Li Tang fight later.

The imperial examination system was completed in the hands of Yang Guang and became a system for obtaining scholars for the country, which was maintained until the demise of the last dynasty.And even in the modern civil service recruitment, there is still a reference to the imperial examination.

Then there is the Grand Canal that Yang Guang advocated to build. His mistake was only too urgent, otherwise who would dare to say that the Grand Canal is useless?
Turning part of his energy to beauties is what Liu Yan is trying to do recently, especially with so many new things, he really should have a good time.He felt that he was not purely having fun, but was working very hard to carry out big stick diplomacy, which was also very hard work.

The countries that presented beautiful women must be looking forward to the birth of a prince or princess of their own blood, in order to conclude that their exchanges with the Han Empire have achieved success.

It's spiritual comfort to get more emotional, but it's really useful. If there is a prince of the Han Empire of his own country, whether he can get any practical benefits, it is also a way to frighten a country without a prince of the Han Empire. effect.

As for letting the prince with his own blood become the ruler of the Han Empire who combines the emperor and the emperor in one body, it is true that no country has never thought about it.

Liu Yan, who had been "working hard" for a few days, did not step out of the harem until the routine court meeting.

There is only one theme of the Great Court Conference, and it is determined that the system of three provinces and six ministries will replace the system of Sangong and Jiuqing.

The topic had already been determined, and no one dared to raise side matters at this time. The establishment of the new system was promulgated very smoothly, and the appointment of the heads of the ministries was also announced on the spot in the form of an edict.

Since it is not something that needs to be kept secret, who will be the chief officer of which department, unless it is not at the level of power, otherwise everything that should be known before has already been known, which is considered a process.

Just one restructuring makes the whole day's court meeting very full, and it can't accommodate other topics at all.

After the Great Court Meeting, even if the heads of the ministries have already thought about the appointment list of the ministries, they will still work overtime all night to show that they are not only worrying about the country, but even the sleep they deserve. All sacrificed.

However, Liu Yan did not follow the routine, calling the heads of all ministries to stay after the Great Court Meeting.

If they stay, they will stay, anyway, they didn't think of Miyagi tonight, and they didn't accompany the emperor to review the draft list in the office to consider whether to revise it.In fact, there is basically no need to modify the list. The list is to be rethought and rethought.

Without the stage for officials to keep guessing, it became a task to accompany the emperor. They were happy to be late and would not have any objections at all.

Liu Yan didn't choose to have a banquet in the hall, it wasn't even a formal banquet, but he held an open-air barbecue, or did it himself, and no one was arranged to serve him.

This group of core ministers has participated in similar activities many times, and there is nothing they are not used to.They even like it very much, mainly not because they like to do it by themselves, but because they feel that they are closer to Liu Yan.

"Your Majesty, would you like some kidneys?" Ran Min held a few skewered kidneys that hadn't been roasted yet, and looked at Liu Yan seriously, without any teasing: "You have worked hard these few days. "

No matter how hard it is, some people arrange and arrange various supplements (medicine supplements or food supplements) for Liu Yan, and it is not his turn to use kidneys to supplement them.

Liu Yan's response was to throw the bamboo stick left over from the food in his hand towards Ran Min.

The relationship between a partner who conquers the world together and a minister who joins after Dingding the World is naturally a bit special.

We have gone through difficult times together, and we have seen each other almost any kind of embarrassment. They will not mention some embarrassing past events, but they will make some small jokes in order to show their closeness.

Many emperors have experienced this stage. At first, they were happy for their business partners to joke with them, but gradually they felt that their authority was being questioned or challenged, and they would do various things to warn them, but did not get the necessary advice. Some effects raised the butcher's knife.

Liu Yan is not afraid of challenges, not because of his enigmatic self-confidence, but because he really has that kind of self-confidence.After he felt lonely and empty, he was always afraid that he would get lost, and he was very happy that a group he identified could joke with him.

"Yuanzi and Anshi need to make up for it." Li Tan smiled teasingly at Huan Wenwen and Xie An, and said, "I heard about it, fighting every night!"

Huan Wen immediately countered: "It's as if you don't have one."

Xie An showed a look of astonishment, smiled and shook his head, but did not speak.

The countries have presented so many beauties, and they were picked and picked by the queen for a while. Depending on the progress of those beauties and whether the people who will accept them have any opinions, at least one of the ministers with sufficient qualifications was sent, and some ministers had more than one. Up to ten.

Recently, there are "creaking" sounds everywhere in Chang'an City. I heard that the craftsmen who repair the beds have entered a busy period, and some ingredients that can strengthen the yang are also ushering in big sales.

"The altar naturally needs to fight every night!" Li Tan had a proud expression on his face: "It's all for the big man!"

In a broad sense of any point, there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying that. The sowing of the seeds and bearing fruit means that the Han Empire has a newborn, and the country of the mother of the child can also feel closer to the Han Empire because of the birth of the child. It really does both!

Ran Min and Xu Zheng looked at each other, and then made eye contact with several other people.

Last time they had the most preliminary conversation.

During the first communication, they doubted whether the "fruits" produced by their struggles could have the meaning they should have, and were deeply afraid that the "fruits" created by their own lives and deaths would later make wedding dresses for "others".

Their worries are not unfounded. More and more people with random skin colors are also members of the Han people. Although yellow skin is still the majority now, who can guarantee that yellow skin will still account for the majority in the future? If black skin White skin or white skin... Even people of all colors have become the majority, and they will really doubt that their hard work is in vain.

"Your Majesty, we have a patrilineal social structure... Is this the way to say it?" Ran Min twisted a few strings of waists that had passed the test, and sat down next to Liu Yan's seat, with a grinning expression on his face, as if casually Na Na then went on to say: "The father of the child is Han, and the child is Han, right?"

Liu Yan nodded.

"So, when a woman of the Han family marries a foreigner, the child born is a foreigner." Ran Min finally saw Liu Yan's eyes fixed, but he continued to laugh and say, "Women of the Han family will definitely not marry outsiders, they can't accept it." The customs of other races think that people with black or white skin are not good enough for themselves."

This is a manifestation of the current social value. Liu Yan didn't think there was anything wrong, so he nodded again.

Now there are a large number of women of different races who have become daughters-in-law of the Han family, but that is something that is accepted by the men of the Han family because there is no way. His own wife is only cooperating with the national policy when the title is enough to accept a foreign woman as a concubine.

Han women are still in demand, and there is no change in the fact that Han women choose the best to marry. They will marry men of other races when they are sick.

Ran Min, who felt that he had made a good start, looked at Xu Zheng.

"I was walking around once and saw an interesting thing..." Xu Zheng lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact with Liu Yan at all. His voice sounded normal, but he was actually very nervous inside: "A few children are playing together. , they played the game of fighting between the Han army and the aliens. Those who played the aliens were all dark-skinned children, and it was very lively to play."

Several people laughed cooperatively, but Liu Yan was stunned on the spot.

The Han people have been accepting women of different races from the Indochinese Peninsula for several years. According to official statistics, there are about one million Han men, wives or concubines from the Indochina Peninsula, and there is no shortage of dark-skinned Han daughters-in-law.

Calculating the time, the offspring produced after their union were indeed old enough to play on the streets. It was normal for Xu Zheng to see such a scene.

If a few good folks have a barbecue together, talking about such a topic is a lot of fun, and everyone will find it very interesting.

The occasion here is the imperial palace, they are monarchs and ministers, some things can be fun for ordinary people, but the same topic of fun is not so simple for them.

Liu Yan remembered some things from later generations.

Like some entertainment works in early America, the role of the bad guy is always black, and the white guy is always great and just.

In the United States, if there is a robbery, the police can shoot without restriction when facing black people, but there are unspoken rules that must be restrained when the suspect is white.

Is it racial discrimination?Maybe, but black people are really...

Liu Yan has already reacted. He probably knows what these guys want to express. The country does need to face up to and pay attention to possible social problems, but he doesn't want to talk about that topic at all now.

"I never thought about building a huge palace..." Liu Yan ignored one point. The palace city within the Great Wall is no smaller than the Afang Palace, and there are also palaces in other places: "I didn't think about how well the cemetery will be built."

The first emperor did not pay any wages for the construction of the Efang Palace, and even resources and materials were expropriated free of charge.On this point, Liu Yan did not dare to do this. Except for slaves, he paid wages for laborers, and he also had to pay for resources and materials.

Regarding the cemetery, Liu Yan officially started construction after he proclaimed himself emperor, and it was still chosen to be located in Mount Li. As he said, he really didn't care what it would look like.

However, Liu Yan doesn't care about it himself, which doesn't mean that other people don't care. It's just that he won't use corvees anymore, and the slaves will be responsible for the whole process.

"The two national highways are the biggest projects, and they will take about 20 years to complete." Liu Yan thinks that it won't take that long, even if free labor is no longer used, and slaves are used as labor, it will definitely take five or six years. enough.Seeing that Ji Chang hesitated to speak, he continued with a smile, "I know, many people are counting on the road to be built as long as possible, and many people depend on it for food."

Ji Chang smiled and nodded repeatedly.

However, Ran Min was not far away from Sang Yu, so he kicked Sang Yu's shoe while Liu Yan was not looking at them.

It is so important to ensure the "fruits of the revolution", and it is not just a matter for military commanders. Civilian personnel should not even think about being out of it.

Sang Yu was extremely embarrassed, he had already seen that Liu Yan had reacted, and it was hard to guess which step Liu Yan had realized, but now is really not a good time to continue that topic, so he could only endure the endless harassment from Ran Min , I couldn't help it anymore, so I stood up and went to the grill to get busy.

"This guy..." Ran Min said viciously to Lu Tai, "He ran away, and you didn't say a word from the beginning to the end?"

Lu Tai looked at Ran Min dumbly, expressing that he had no idea what happened.

Ran Min angrily "hummed", and when Liu Yan looked over, he said "ha" again, and slapped himself on the neck: "Mosquitoes are so annoying!"

The monarchs and ministers are happy here. Even if there are no waiting staff, there are some preparations in advance, including making some medicines to repel mosquitoes.

Liu Yan didn't know how to point it out, and continued to talk about how to improve the living standards of the people with a smile.

"The recorded number of slaves in the Han Dynasty is close to 600 million, and I think it should be used properly." Ji Chang is no longer the prime minister, but he still has decision-making power as a Zhongshu Ling: "Under the principle of not squeezing the profit margins of the common people, it is still There are many places where it can be used."

There are many ways for anyone to obtain pleasure. If the perspective is changed to the national level, oppressing or conquering other countries will become the only way.

The Han Empire will always lack cheap labor, so the oppression and conquest will never stop.

Ji Chang didn't know whether it was intentional or inadvertent. As soon as he started talking about acquiring slaves, the topic was changed again.

Ran Min kept silently giving Ji Chang thumbs up.

Once or twice, Liu Yan still didn't notice, and he was not blind after too many times, so he kept scanning the crowd with scrutiny, and felt that it was really difficult to relax once in a while!
