sweeping the world

Chapter 972 Wishing Zhu Xia Forever

No matter which prince it is, Liu Yan will not let them stay in Miyagi until they are rewarded, not even every prince can be crowned king, but the bottom line is that they must be crowned princes.

A person who always lives in the "circle" is facing such a fixed group of people. To use a metaphor, he is like a frog living in a well, and what he sees is a small piece of sky.As long as such a person can do his job, that's all. Once he has thoughts that he shouldn't have, it will be a disaster for himself and those close to him.

Liu Yan didn't want to raise a successor who would ask "why not eat minced meat", that would be a complete tragedy, not only would the old Liu's family become a slaughtered animal, but also Throw the whole country into chaos.

How many powerful dynasties have planted hidden dangers because of a generation of kings. It is impossible for the successors of all generations to be intelligent, but there must be no successors who don't understand anything.

In fact, the king does not have to be very intelligent, but he must understand the situation of the people, even if he cannot really understand, he must understand the basic overview.

Liu Yan had already thought about it. Any prince who reached the age would definitely be sent away from Miyagi. He could travel to the frontiers of the empire, or live in an ordinary family in the hinterland.

That was just the first procedure. After they reached adulthood, the prince would be brought back, and then they would be allowed to choose whether to serve in the army or to take up a local official position somewhere.

How much talent a person has is just the starting point, and how much experience a person has.

There are many people with excellent talents, no matter how good their talents are, they have not experienced something, and everything is in vain.

And some ordinary people, even though they don't have extraordinary talents, because they have enough experience, even if they can't achieve amazing achievements in a certain field, they will at least become a useful person.

It is very gratifying for a family to have a genius.

As far as the country is concerned, it is gratifying to have a genius who can change the era, but if that genius is not enough to change the era, it will be like that.

It is impossible for everyone to be a genius, so at the national level, it is practical to have more useful talents, especially those who are willing to immerse themselves in research to attack a certain field, or are willing to work hard, the latter two facts Quality is the most solid foundation of a country.

In today's era, Liu Yan can fully understand that even if there are geniuses, they are probably purely literary geniuses, and it is difficult to produce geniuses that can be related to science and technology.

It's not that Liu Yan looks down on people of the current era, it's that science is not like literature.

Science is built on the basis of the system we have, researching and discovering step by step, it is impossible to say that we are still using gunpowder weapons just now, and we will use laser weapons in the next moment.Judging with such certainty, all sciences cannot escape the threshold of materials.

"I don't understand that." Cui Wan pleaded deeply: "Shen'er will only be 11 years old after the Chinese New Year. Does His Majesty really want him to live outside the palace, or to go to the grassland?"

"What happened to the 11-year-old?" Liu Yan said: "How many 11-year-olds are there, and they have been working for several years."

"It's not the same." Cui Wan's eyes were red, and her eyes were full of tears: "Shen'er is your eldest son!"

"Because Shen'er is my eldest son, he should be independent early." Liu Yan knew that he couldn't reason with a mother, especially when the matter involved this mother's child: "As my eldest son, Shen'er It is impossible to stay in Miyagi forever. He should go to understand the vastness of the world and get in touch with more people."

Cui Wan was stunned.She originally thought that Liu Shen was going to be kicked out of Miyagi, and was worried that he would be exiled after a while. After listening to what Liu Yan said later, she found some key points.

"Then..." Cui Wan asked hesitantly, "Where is Shen'er's first stop?"

"Junji Mountain." Liu Yan said slowly, "Stay in the captain's department for at least half a year. I have other arrangements later."

At least Cui Wan still knew where Junji Mountain was.As far as she knew, Junji Mountain had been very critical to the Han Empire in the past few years, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a strategically important place.

The Han Empire set up several school lieutenants, but the places where the school lieutenants were set up were all strategic locations. The importance of Junji Mountain is reflected in the fact that it is surrounded by Dingling people in the west and Rouran people in the east.

Now that the Rouran people have been defeated, General Li Tan and General Lu Taizheng led the army to kill them all. Although the Dingling people on the west side of Junji Mountain have also suffered some blows, Dingling's strength is still there.

Cui Wan knew that she could no longer keep Liu Shen from leaving Chang'an, otherwise she would cut off Liu Shen's path to the crown prince.She was still worried.

Liu Shen grew up in a good environment, and his genes are also good. At the age of 11, he has the height and physique of an ordinary person in his 11th or [-]th year, but he is only [-] years old no matter what.

"Shen'er is going to Junji Mountain..." Cui Wan couldn't bear it anymore, and asked again: "Is it the supervisor of the school lieutenant's department?"

"Supervisor?" Liu Yan wondered, when did he set up a supervisor for a certain army?Cui Wan couldn't feel at ease knowing that she didn't go into details, and revealed: "I will be Dou'a first..., that is, the captain of Junjishan. I will be Dou'a's personal soldier first, and I may be transferred to a certain field unit when I am familiar with the army. officer, or as a pawn..."

Liu Yan talked a lot, and he made it very clear, including the fact that Liu Shen was selected as the heir, because Liu Shen was selected as the heir, so Liu Shen had to be ignorant of soldiers.

"Isn't it the same to learn the art of war from you, or to find a good teacher?" Cui Wan's worry did not disappear, but became more serious: "It's not peaceful over there, and Shen'er is young, and he went to the battlefield..."

"Are you out of your mind?" Liu Yan wondered, "Don't let me explain everything so clearly. Wouldn't I send sharp men to protect Shen'er overtly and secretly?"

That was an inevitable thing, it was impossible for Liu Yan to really let Liu Shen fly.His purpose of arranging Liu Shen to go out to practice is very clear, not to let Liu Shen die.

Cui Wan found that Liu Yan was becoming more and more impatient, and even showed signs of getting angry. She dared not say any more, and even forced Yan Huanxiao to break the topic.

A man has too many women, and instead of being relaxed by one woman, he is bored to the core. He must not be in the mood to comfort him. He will choose to go to another woman who can relax him.

"After all, the queen is Shen'er's biological mother." Tuoba Xiu'an quietly listened to Liu Yan's non-complaining complaints, and said with a smile: "I am also a mother, and I always know that as a mother, I will always worry about my children."

Of course Liu Yan knew, but their family was different from other families.

There is a saying that "wearing a crown will bear its weight", which refers to obligations and responsibilities, and only those who understand obligations and responsibilities can be a qualified superior.

"I have read some history books." Tuobaxiu's self-professional is not wrong: "You want to emulate the pre-Qin?"

On the contrary, Liu Yan was stunned for a while, and didn't react for a while.

"Qin Xiaogong expelled his eldest son from the official office when he was very young." Seeing that Liu Yan didn't react for a while, Tuobaxiu raised his mouth and asked curiously: " Didn’t you learn from the pre-Qin period?”

Liu Yan, who had reacted, did not explain to Tuobaxiu that Qin Xiaogong didn't take the initiative to exile the eldest son to the people, but the Qin government and the vested aristocratic group at that time chose Yingsi as the contemporary spokesperson.

If Qin Xiaogong wants to continue the reform, it is the most drastic action to attack the public office and the vested interest aristocratic group in an all-round way. Then exile the spokesperson they have chosen can not only express the determination of the reform, but also warn the public to the greatest extent. It is the most appropriate approach for the family and vested interests of the aristocratic group.

"Since Qin Xiaogong, the generations of pre-Qin monarchs... It seems that they are really not raising children by their side." Liu Yan is not asking a question, but he already has an answer: "Either they were exiled, or they went to the enemy's country to serve as their own children." Proton. They have had that kind of experience, they are not flowers growing in the greenhouse, they can know more clearly what they want to do, and only then have the survivors of Fen VI, who have done their best in the generation of Emperor Shihuang."

"You are imitating the pre-Qin." Tuobaxiu asked curiously: "The pre-Qin was for self-protection and to destroy the six kingdoms. The enemy countries around the Han Dynasty will perish in your hands, and the Han Dynasty will go further?"

Liu Yan just smiled without answering.

The pre-Qin dynasties all had clear goals. Their initial efforts were only to protect themselves, and they changed their goals to unify the world after they were able to protect themselves.

The ultimate goal of the Qin people is to reach the step of unifying the world, and they are endlessly at a loss as to what to do in the future.

It is said that the Qin Empire was destroyed by Qin II Hu Hai and Zhao Gao and other scourges, but it is not always the case.

Interpreted from another angle, could it be that the people of Qin lost their goals after unifying the world, and suffered all kinds of injustice after they had no goals to fight for? The source of soldiers has not been exhausted, but is it the reason why the Allied Forces to Exterminate Qin easily entered Guanzhong and did not encounter resistance to the death?
Liu Yan knows that a country must have goals. It must not be too simple or too difficult. Once it is simple, it will lose the motivation to make progress. If it is difficult, people will lose hope. Only a person who can see it A goal that is not easy to achieve.

How to cultivate heirs?Liu Yan is divided into several steps, but also has a lot of ideas.

If Liu Yan's generation has completed the conquest of World Island, the second generation of kings must not be able to continue to focus on conquest, and should instead focus on how to consolidate the ruling power.

To put it simply, the kings of the previous generation need to develop, and the kings of the next generation need to be conservative.

"Then you..." Tuobaxiu was surprised: "You still let Shen'er go to the army?"

"How can you not know about soldiers?" Liu Yan said seriously: "Whether I choose Shen'er as the heir apparent or not, and no matter which of my sons, they all need to know about soldiers."

Tuoba Xiu couldn't recover for a long time.

"The territory I rule is very large, and it will be even bigger in the future." Liu Yan said seriously: "If you are crowned king, you will be the king thousands of miles away. I don't know how the soldiers will defend the feudal country, and even continue to open up as a pioneer."

Is the Han Empire big now?It is indeed very big, if it is not limited by the population problem, it will be even bigger.

To say it is small, the current territory of the Han Empire is indeed small. From Liu Yan's point of view, the Han people should be the sole masters of the blue star under their feet!

"Aren't you afraid of causing trouble to Xiao Qiang?" Tuobaxiu regretted after asking, now she only has a daughter and no son, but she is still at the age of childbearing, who can be sure if she will have a son in the future.Seeing Liu Yan looking at her strangely, she said, "You don't want me to have a son anymore."

There are some things that Liu Yan cannot say.He thinks that the successor of the empire has such a large base and is also the most powerful person, but he can be kicked off the throne by his brothers who have gone out to seal the country. How incompetent should it be?
The Han Empire has been restored to feudalism, and those princes have their own kingdoms, have their own people, and have the right to collect taxes and conscription.

Hou Guo has all the rights and interests that Hou Guo should have. This is one of the risks in itself. The shackles on Hou Guo are apart from the title of monarch and minister, that is, Hou Guo needs to pay taxes to the central government.

Liu Yan will give Hou Guo so much freedom, he knows that there will be no accidents when he is alive, and it is foreseeable that there will be no problems within 100 years after his death, and there will be no guessing if it is farther away.

The most important function of enfeoffing meritorious ministers in the contemporary era is to ensure that the lands conquered by foreign races can be consolidated, and those who have been enfeoffed will use their utmost efforts to suppress the possible restoration of the foreign race.

If the central government is directly under the central government, the appointed officials will definitely not be more responsible than the lord of the country, and then the true heart is too far away. What happens, the local government will report to the central government, and the central government will issue instructions. The local government can rely on its own strength to suppress it. That's all, if you can't suppress it and wait for the central government's order to arrive, it will become an invalid order.

There are too many things that are restricted, and the central government can't bear too many times of dispatching troops thousands of miles to counter the rebellion. It's better to divide it directly and fully share the risk with the feudal country.

If the feudal country cannot resist, it is natural for the central government to send troops to take down the lost land again. The land can be divided out again according to the situation, and it can also be returned to the central government.

Liu Yan was able to bear all the risks. He knew what the enfeoffment of the Zhou family was like, and he knew even more that it was the enfeoffment of the Zhou family that made Zhuxia's old land so big.

There may be old things like the enfeoffment of the Zhou Dynasty, but Liu Yan actually doesn't care that much. He only knows that the Han Empire will be destroyed one day, and the people who will establish the next dynasty will most likely still be the descendants of the Xia Dynasty.

Liu Yan couldn't tell anyone about those things.He also understood that he was not doing something selfless, otherwise he would not have kept the most fertile land outside the mainland under the control of the center, and would continue to entrust his sons out in the future.

In fact, Liu Yan couldn't make the Han Empire immortal at all. If he felt that it was going to be destroyed, he couldn't be replaced by a foreign race anyway!
