At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

When Ban Chao reopened the Western Regions, he told his subordinates that the people he led to open up the Western Regions were a group of criminals who could not get along in the mainland. eager.

Therefore, for these people, there should not be too high ideological and moral requirements, but appropriate benefits should also be given, leading the way at critical moments, and controlling them with bravery and interests, and not using other things.

This is the victory of Ban Chao's empty glove White Wolf.

But Guo Peng can't do this, he can't hand over a group of scumbags to Guo Jin to expand the territory, what he needs is not a group of scumbags, but a group of ordinary people.

In addition to using benefits to lure, most people still have to use administrative orders.

In the foreseeable future, the Wei Empire needs continuous blood transfusion and various assistance to the Principality of Xishu. Only in this way can the Principality of Xishu be truly established, gain a firm foothold, gradually annex the Indian mainland to the north, and give Home country in return.

The same is true for other overseas feudal states in the future, and a lot of help needs to be provided, which will test the finances of the Wei Empire and the attitude of the emperor Guo Jin.

Although Guo Peng's policy of external enfeoffment was successfully implemented and carried out, it brought great doubts to the officials.

Many people are waiting and watching. For an emperor who has conquered a huge territory but is still not satisfied, they continue to wait and see.

The danger of going to sea is so great, so difficult, and the journey is so far away, can you really support it?

Is it really necessary to entrust the prince so far away?

Will nothing happen?

Wouldn't the prince die there and make the emperor lose everything?

No one knows the ending, not even Guo Peng himself, but this does not prevent him from continuing to promote this policy and sending people to guide public opinion in Luoyang City.

He wants to lead everyone to study history and the pioneering history of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Under his suggestion, some people with very sharp minds conducted large-scale and in-depth research on the history of enfeoffment and pioneering of the Western Zhou Dynasty during this period, and then continued to write various articles and even books to study the enfeoffment of the Western Zhou Dynasty in an all-round way. Pioneering history.

Learn how the ancestors of the Western Zhou Dynasty expanded the territory from Yuzhou to all directions through enfeoffment.

Historiography has never been popular knowledge, and in the era when academics have not yet moved down, people who understand history are after all a minority.

Even until modern times, there are not many people who understand history, and systematic history education has not been fully developed.

Before the establishment of Guo Wei, there was no systematic history education, and historical knowledge was limited to those who ruled the Spring and Autumn Classics, and most scholars only had a little understanding.

It was not until Guo Peng reformed Taixue education that the concept of history education was introduced.

Many Tai students who had no family accumulation and traditions began to understand the history before the Wei Empire and the Eastern Han Empire.

Otherwise they thought that the Han Empire existed from the very beginning until it was replaced by the Wei Empire.

Then they learned the story of the alternation of the Han Empire and the existence of the Xinmang Dynasty, as well as the alternation of the Han and Wei Dynasties that everyone experienced not long ago.

They just began to have a certain historical concept.

And it wasn't until a few months ago that Guo Peng ordered the compilation of historical documents into books that could be sold to the outside world to help the public understand history, understand history, and know the past of this country.

This triggered a wave of historical research by folk scholars.

Up to now, the research on the history of enfeoffment of the Western Zhou Dynasty initiated by Guo Peng has led to a wave of articles and books on the study of enfeoffment in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

For a time, people everywhere were discussing the history of enfeoffment in the Western Zhou Dynasty and learning about the past and present of this country.

Guo Peng personally guided the writing of some research articles, and directed their research focus to the help and donation of the Zhou royal family to the feudal state at the beginning of the enfeoffment of King Wu of Zhou.

He tried to let everyone understand that the help of the Zhou royal family to Fengguo was the same as the help of Wei Empire to Fengguo today.

The feudal states that opened up the Central Plains, Hebei, and Jiangnan back then expanded their territories little by little with the support of the Zhou royal family, and gradually expanded the land that was originally occupied by Yi tribes such as Dongyi, Huaiyi, and Northeast Yi. Built into today's state territories.

Let people realize that the territory occupied by the Wei Empire today did not naturally belong to China from the beginning, but was obtained after the ancestors conquered and opened up bit by bit by force.

The publication of this type of article and the publication of this type of book have had a very significant impact on the intellectual circles of the entire Wei State, leading a large group of scholars to start re-studying the history of enfeoffment in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the impact of enfeoffment on the Western Zhou Dynasty and beyond. Hundreds of years of historical influence.

After this step was achieved, the debate about Guo Peng's enfeoffment of his children overseas gradually subsided, and instead turned to the research and debate on the enfeoffment of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Public opinion was gradually quelled.

Guo Peng also had more time to do some preparations for the subsequent abdication,

But at this time, Guo Jin put forward a new request to Guo Peng.

He hoped to know where Guo Peng planned to entrust his third brother Guo Qiong. After he ascended the throne, he would issue an imperial decree to entrust Guo Qiong.

Guo Peng just looked at Guo Jin silently for a long time.

Guo Jin looked at him without fear, and looked at him for a long time.

"Didn't you not really want your brothers to leave before?"

"That's because the son doesn't quite understand his father's painstaking efforts."

"I get it now?"

"Understood. The son has fully understood the painstaking efforts of the father. If the son encounters such a situation in the future, he will definitely send the children out without hesitation."

"Did Ajun tell you anything?"

"Some things in the past are not worth mentioning."

"That's it."

Guo Peng did not object, but nodded silently.

"it is good."

Guo Peng agreed to Guo Jin's request, opened the world map, and showed him the large and small islands across the sea from Jiaozhou.

Chapter 1441 One thousand three hundred and fifty one how Guo Peng is the emperor, Guo Jin will also be the emperor

On the world map owned by Guo Peng, there are many large and small islands in the place he pointed to. Although they are fragmented, they can form a certain scale.

There are large islands that can be developed and small islands that are separated from each other, each with its own use.

But there is no doubt that these places are rich, as long as they can be properly governed and agriculture developed, a relatively splendid civilization can be built.

"Here, there are thousands of islands, big and small. Although they look fragmented, they are located in the south. The climate is hot, humid, and rainy. It is very suitable for the development of agriculture. Once it is operated, it will be very prosperous and rich. Here, I plan to entrust it to A Joan."

Guo Jin looked at the broken Thousand Islands and nodded slowly.

"It seems that this place is also very suitable for the development of fisheries. It is convenient for people to build boats and fish. It should not be difficult to be self-sufficient, and it is also very suitable for the development of the navy. The communication between each other requires a large number of ships, otherwise it may be difficult to rule."

"Yes, a large number of ships are needed, and agriculture and fishing will develop well, and it is said that spices are also abundant here."

"spices?"

Guo Jin was taken aback, thought for a while, and said, "Father, my son intends to establish a standard for the feudal state to make offerings to the suzerain state on a regular basis every year. Does father think it's okay?"

"Offering..."

Guo Peng thought for a while.

Seeing that Guo Peng hesitated, Guo Jin said again: "It is the strong support of my father and the court to allow them to establish a country abroad, and it is only natural to bring them back to confession after they gain a firm foothold.

After all, the feudal state is equal to the vassal state of the Wei state. As a vassal state, it is natural to pay tribute to the suzerain state. Doesn’t my father think so? "

Seeing that Guo Jin insisted, Guo Peng nodded without objecting.

"If you think it is appropriate, then go ahead and set some quotas and standards for them. In short... don't go too far. When the country was first established, they will be under a lot of pressure. You can set it lower and leave it to future generations. You can also add more."

"My son understands."

Guo Jin nodded: "Did father think about the name of the country that Arjun entrusted?"

Guo Peng squeezed his chin and looked at the territory belonging to Indonesia.

Guo Peng intends to leave the land of Southeast Asia and the Philippines as the back garden of the Wei Empire.

So when enfeoffing, I avoided this place, and I also wanted to build this place as a buffer zone between the two sides, not enforcing it, including the Japanese archipelago.

The main reason is that they are relatively close, and there are resources needed by the Wei Empire, such as silver and gold, which should be mined by the Wei Empire, and cannot be handed over to the princes, otherwise the king of future generations may be stuck.

On the other side of India, Guo Peng conferred the title of Xishu Kingdom. Originally, he planned to use the Indian translation of the name to write a letter to Germany, but considering that he is the master in this era, of course he still followed the practice of Chinese history, using the name of the feudal country in the Spring and Autumn Period. Canonized.

As for Indonesia, a large and small island country, it has no name and has no contact with China in this period. It is estimated that it is still in a primitive society, so there will be no country name records in ancient books.

Still follow the previous rules, choose the country name of the southern country in the Spring and Autumn Period, plus the location.

"Let's choose Wu. He is good at sailors, and he dominates with boat masters. Back then, they used their boat masters, but to a certain extent, they blocked my army from going south. Southern Wu Kingdom, what do you think?"

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin.

Guo Jin nodded, indicating yes.

"The son thinks it's okay, since the father thinks it's appropriate, let's call it Nanwu."

Guo Jin asked happily: "When does father plan to entrust Aqiong out? The son can cooperate with father."

Guo Peng secretly sighed.

"You can do it whenever you think you can. Anyway, when you become emperor, everything is up to you, but you have to consider that sending them out to establish a country requires the support of the national treasury and the internal treasury.

Sending them out requires a lot of money, a lot of supplies, a lot of big ships, a lot of people, and it costs a lot. There are many places in the court that need money. You have to pay more attention and don't force yourself. "

Guo Jin was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.

It seems a little dissatisfied and eager, but still pays attention to the reality and will not push certain things forcibly.

"The son knows, the son will treat it with caution."

Having said that, Guo Jin asked again: "The fief of Arjun has been decided, and the fiefs of the other three brothers, has the father decided? Can you let the son know?"

Guo Peng can now be sure that Guo Jun must have said something to Guo Jin that made him very concerned before leaving, and that Guo Jin suddenly cared so much about the matter of enfeoffment.

Feeling threatened?

Guo Peng sighed secretly, feeling that his idea of ​​sending the children out was actually right. If he didn't send them out, the children's life would be difficult when he passed away.

Emperor, emperor.

How to be an emperor, Guo Jin will also be an emperor, how to treat relatives and friends, Guo Jin will treat relatives and friends, never have extravagant expectations of human nature, even if the other party is his son.

That's right.

"The enfeoffment of your other three younger brothers is almost the same as my father's idea. This big island is just in the south of Nanwu Kingdom. My father plans to entrust it to Ah Hu, so that Ah Hu can establish a country here.

As for your remaining two younger brothers, Weifu intends to confine one of them to the northwest, to the northwest of Zhenxi Duhufu, three months away from Luoyang, and let him establish a country in a place with abundant water and grass.

The other, let’s seal it to the west of the Xishu Kingdom, let him land on this continent, establish a state here, and advance from the coast to the inland to expand the territory. "

Guo Peng pointed to Australia, central Russia and the African continent respectively.

These are still unowned lands, and there was no pressure in the past when they were enfeoffed. In the face of the local aborigines, the Wei army could undoubtedly crush them.

As long as you are familiar with the local climate, it is not difficult to survive there.

Guo Jin looked at it, calculated the distance, and felt that it was a very safe choice for herself, and felt that Guo Peng's choice was correct.

But Guo Peng immediately poured cold water on him.

"The enfeoffment is planned in this way, but Ajin, as my father said, it is not easy to let Ajun gain a foothold in Xishu Kingdom, let alone send your other brothers to establish a foreign country, and you need to give a very large amount. Great support.

So from now on, you have to increase your efforts to expand a larger number of sea ships, increase your efforts to store supplies, and prepare to send them out, so that you can send all your brothers away, otherwise, it will be very difficult. "

When Guo Peng said this, Guo Jin couldn't help but lose his face.

That's right, it will take three years for the Principality of Xishu to arrange all kinds of material support, various military forces, and population resources for the brothers, and then they will have to send people there.

This is true for one brother, let alone five brothers.

That is to say, Guo Pengsheng did not have many sons, and five brothers sent them out. The output of materials and population was five times higher, which seemed to be a considerable waste of money and food.

That is to say, Guo Peng has accumulated a huge amount of wealth to have the confidence to implement this plan, send his brothers out to expand the territory, and reduce his threat by the way.

But for the sake of safety and the stability of the throne, Guo Jin felt that this was not impossible.

Anyway, with a small population and military strength, the Wei Empire has a population of nearly 8000 million, and it will continue to increase in the future. How about giving each country a share of several 10 people?

Anyway, with more than a million people, can it still shake the basic population of the Wei Empire?

nonexistent.

And after sending them out, there will be no other competitors for this huge foundation, so this deal should not be too profitable, okay?

Earn a fortune, okay?

Guo Jin felt that this was not a problem at all.

Although it will be very troublesome, but we must stick to it and send all the brothers away. In the future, maybe he will send away a group of his sons. Fortunately, this world is big enough for him to divide and develop everywhere. The place is where the Wei Empire enfeoffed.
