Let you be a faint king, and you have unified the six kingdoms?

"If you are a commoner in Dagan, then you will be surprised to find that there is no place to fight. Unless you continue to expand to the west, but when you attacked Funan, the Dagan navy was defeated once. This time you must win Be more cautious."

"And what does the Great Emperor think?"

"He wants it all."

"Not only continued to expand the Dagan Navy, but also organized an Arctic expedition team to explore north!"

"The emperor ordered the exploration team to measure the land and turn the frozen soil in the north into real and usable land."

"So is this operation useful?"

"It's actually not very useful."

"The Central Plains area has not yet been developed, and there are harsh environments everywhere, and people need to develop it."

"Not to mention the farther north?"

"But what can we see from this?" The history teacher knocked on the table, "Yes, we can see that the emperor really had an extreme desire for territory. It can be said that during the reign of the emperor, the entire Daqian empires are hungry, martial, and love to conquer."

"Then, we have to look at it objectively again."

"Does this count as aggression?"

"Actually, it counts. If you study history, you can see that, for example, South Vietnam, Linyi, Funan, and Yingdao Province, these places were never occupied by the Central Plains people at that time. This is the homeland of others. .”

"However, aggression is too ugly, we call it conquest now."

"It was also because the Great Emperor conquered these places that later on people were able to say—"

"These places have been owned by our country since ancient times."

"The expansion of the territory has always been done. It's just that the emperor didn't cover it up like he did when he first ascended the throne." The history teacher laughed, "The Daqian Empire at that time was very domineering."

"Seeing where there is a place, reach out directly: bring it to you!"

"No?"

"If you don't give it, I will call you!"

The history teacher joked.

Then, he turned serious again: "So, from an objective point of view, which one is better, being conquered by the Daqian Empire or not being conquered?"

"Here we have to mention the trade deficit."

"Nanyang can be said to be the communication path between the Dagan Empire and the West."

"In history, especially after the abdication of the Great Emperor, the number of foreign conquests by the Dagan Empire has dropped significantly."

"Emperor Qian Ming is not bad, he is also very eager for territory."

"However, some of the later emperors not only failed to expand their territory, but even lost it."

"In short, when there was no territorial expansion, the Dagan Empire, with its strong national power, advanced technology, and high-quality goods, took a strong position in the free market, leaving the rest of the countries in trade deficit for a long time."

"What is a trade deficit?"

"A trade deficit is when imports exceed exports."

"I can't sell things from my own country, but I can sell things from other countries, which causes looting."

"It would allow a massive outflow of wealth from a country."

"Where did the flow go?"

"Of course it's the Dagan Empire."

"Those countries that were not conquered by the Dagan Empire can be said to be crazily sucked blood by free trade."

"The more you do business, the poorer you become! At that time, businessmen in other countries looked forward to earning enough money and then settling down."

"The country cannot develop, and all the money goes to the Dagan Empire."

"But it can't be helped, because it is true that the products of the Daqian Empire are better."

"So, in history we can see that."

"The Daqian Empire relied on the Great Emperor, Emperor Qianming, and some subsequent Ming emperors to create a prosperous oriental age. On the basis of this prosperous age, the Dagan Empire is lying on the ground to suck blood from the entire world."

"Use the development of other regions to strengthen oneself. It can be said that imperialism has been developed to the extreme."

"It also formed such a scene: the country conquered by the Dagan Empire is thriving, as a province of the Dagan Empire."

"And those countries that were not conquered, got poorer and poorer."

"It's really [I conquer you, it's for your own good]."

The history teacher laughed.

In the audience, the students also laughed.

Although there is only the Celestial Empire left now, and the system adopted by the Celestial Empire is not feudal imperialism, the glory achieved by the Dagan Empire at the beginning is still missed by future generations.

It was an era of great leaders, people all over the world.

…………

In the eighth year of Kangzhe, midsummer.

Daqian empire.

Jiangnan.

Taoist priests gathered in one place.

And a lifelike picture of a dragon sitting on the ground.

"It's over." An old Taoist priest looked at the completed picture of sitting a dragon in front of him with a vicissitudes of life.

shook hands.

A flame appeared.

Fall on top of the drawing.

The whole picture started to burn, and the smoke from the burning rose slowly, forming a looming real dragon.

All Taoist priests sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Present sitting dragon figure to Dagan!"

"Present sitting dragon figure to Dagan!!"

Soon, the entire picture of sitting a dragon was burned up, and the blue smoke swirled endlessly. Finally, a dragon chant suddenly appeared in the sky.

eventually disappeared.

The Taoists also got up and left immediately.

Although the most important drawing of sitting dragon has finally been refined, a great foundation has been set from then on.

But they still have work to do.

Next, they have to breed spirit monsters.

…………

In a forest somewhere.

A blue smoke fell and turned into a figure.

The figure gradually became solid, and finally became lifelike.

"Huh..." The young man let out a long breath, "I never expected to see the future generations in this way."

The young man was completely naked, but it could be seen that he had a perfect body.

"Just let me take a good look."

"Is my Great Qin still there?"

After the voice fell, the young man walked away immediately.

…………

South Vietnam was destroyed, and the army returned triumphantly.

And in August of Kangzhe's eighth year, another event also came to an end.

That is the Qidi population check that lasted for half a year.

The scale of the population survey this time was very large, and it was finally found that Qidi actually increased the population by one million.

Many officials asked for a thorough investigation, and those who concealed their population were dealt with.

But it was directly suppressed by the emperor.

After going out for more than a month, Luo Lin also took Su Yuhan back to Xinhaidu to avoid new backstabs.

but……

Millions of new people.

Does this mean that this year's taxation will go up to a higher level?

Rollins sighed.

You have to think carefully about how you spend your money.

"Basically, there are two directions, internal and external."

"Internally, it's time to send an exploration team to explore the north, measure the land, and get more land. It's hard work to get rid of South Vietnam, so that the buff of the governing country has become 26 times, what a loss. There are so many lands in the north. Hurry up and include it in the territory of the Dagan Empire."

"For the outside world... well, selling big-name goods at a cheap price, you should be able to lose money, right?"

What Luo Lin didn't know was that these cheap and big-bought products seemed to be losing money.

But it will occupy foreign markets at a terrifying speed, laying the groundwork for the future.

Chapter 450 Novelist Zhao Zheng

The eighth year of Kangzhe, September.

The autumn harvest begins.

This is Hu, the rewards that the Dagan army should have rewarded, those who should be promoted, they can go home and reunite with their families.

Many of them plan to retire from the military.

Dagan is really looking around now.

Can't find anything to hit.

To dominate the Central Plains, the tiger sees He Xiongzai.

But now, the army has fought a lot of battles, many people have made military achievements, can receive monthly subsidies, and can live a relatively comfortable life in this prosperous age.

…………

Xinhaidu.

big cabinet.

They are busy during this time.

After all, the paper-based examination system has just been passed, and now all places have begun to prepare the examination papers, which will then be sent to Xinhaidu for an inspection.

And after returning from the private visit of Jiangnan Weibo, His Majesty did not do anything special.

But two.

One, is to encourage trade with foreign countries.It is a strategy of pursuing mass sales even if the price is lowered. .

The other is to organize a northward exploration team to go to the Northland to measure the land.

The prime ministers of the big cabinet not only did not object, but were even very happy.

why?

The first one is to do business with foreign countries.This shows that His Majesty has stopped thinking about continuing to expand and wants to stabilize the territory.

This is great.

You know, there was opposition from the imperial court when they attacked South Vietnam before.

In a small place like Nanyue, why bother with him?
