[comprehensive] mother instrument world

After the Xiongnu split, how many of them directly expressed their surrender to the Han Dynasty, and then, Shu Yun was very generous here, and directly threw out the positions of four Chanyus. If there are too many Shanyus, it will not be good. It is valuable, but, this name is quite valuable among the Huns. The so-called four chanyus are nothing more than the chanyus of the Eastern Huns, Western Huns, Northern Huns, and Southern Huns. As for Yizhixie, they are now It's already a betrayal.

He originally usurped the positions of the military minister Yu Shan, father and son, and if he could defeat the Donghu people and dominate the grassland like Maodun Shanyu back then, then he would naturally be a great one, and everyone would submit to him. The big Chanyu under his feet, but the problem is that since Yi Zhixie came to power, he has not been able to reverse the decline of the Xiongnu. On the contrary, after losing Munan, the Huns lost Longcheng, Qilian Mountain, and Yanzhi Mountain. Even in the Yinshan Mountains, in the end the Han people passed directly through the vast sea, and almost drove the Huns to the North Sea.

It is difficult for the Huns to understand that the Han people are more frost-resistant than the Huns. Even the Huns are generally unwilling to go to the North Sea. It is winter there for most of the year. When it is the coldest, stay outside for a while , can be directly frozen into ice lumps, but the Han people almost broke into the North Sea.Even when they attacked, it was not the coldest season in Beihai, but being able to maintain their combat effectiveness in such a season is something that only the elite of the Xiongnu can do, but the Han army can almost do it .

But they don't know that the current military supplies of the Han army have added options such as cotton armor, down jackets, and sweaters. These are simply magical weapons in the ice and snow, at least they are made of tanned fur by the Huns In terms of warmth and lightness, the clothes of the Han people are not as good as the clothes of the Han people.

In addition, in order to keep warm, although there is no chili, the military rations of the Han army have also added ingredients such as dogwood and peppercorns, which can help the Han army to keep warm to a certain extent, and the intake of a large amount of oil and protein can also help. To a certain extent, the combat effectiveness of the Han army was guaranteed.

The development of the sea led the Han people to hunt whales on a large scale, and whale oil became the best antifreeze oil. With a multi-pronged approach, the combat effectiveness of the Han army in cold weather was greatly enhanced. of.On the contrary, in this season, among the Huns, even the famous warriors in the tribe were unwilling to fight at will.Because they simply don't have enough calorie reserves to allow them to engage in high-volume activities in this climate.

In short, if it weren't for the fact that the Han people were not very familiar with the environment in Mobei, Yi Zhixie wouldn't even be able to stay in Mobei.

As for Mobei, it is really not a good place, the land is barren, there are not many pastures, and there are not many cattle and sheep to support at all. The nobles who believed in Yi Zhixie and were willing to follow him also complained because of this, because their clansmen have fallen into a crisis. In the midst of widespread hunger, they dare not have children, because they can't feed them, they have to abandon the old people who have no combat effectiveness, and even some children who were originally the future children of the tribe in the ice and snow, and even, in private, some People who are extremely hungry have already started eating... people!

In short, Yi Zhixie originally thought that his destiny would be like his father, leading the Huns to the most glorious future, but the facts told him that he thought too much.The changes of the Han people can be said to be changing with each passing day, and the Huns could not adapt to the changes of the Han people at all.In the past, the Han people used the lives and flesh and blood of soldiers to fight against the brave Huns, but after a while, the two sides were no longer on the same starting line.

Among the tribes of the Xiongnu, the most barbaric and powerful tribes retreated under the Han army. Now there is a saying on the grassland that one Han should be the five Huns. Even those Huns used to have a headache, often Tribes like the Qiang who played hide-and-seek games with the Huns, secretly occupied the pastures of the Huns, and stole the livestock of the Huns, are now obediently attached.

No way, the Huns can’t even make bronzes. The weapons of the Han people are no longer simple irons, but serious steel. Steel is tougher than bronze, it’s not easy to rust, and it’s also sharper. .

The Han people wore plate armor made of steel, and when ordinary arrows hit the plate armor, they would leave a simple white mark at most. It is said that the Han people got the Dawan horse from Dawan and planned to use the Dawan horse to build a Both men and horses came out with heavy cavalry in heavy armor.At that time, even in the heyday of the Huns, they would not be able to withstand the charge of the heavy cavalry.

Therefore, after Mobei became more and more unsustainable, someone finally showed their fangs at Yi Zhixie, and Yi Zhixie was killed, and Yi Zhixie's son, Wuwei, was also shot to death by random arrows.

Shan Yu, who succeeded the throne, said that the Han people were obviously invincible. Going to the west, even if the Huns are in a state of desperation, they can pass through those small countries, but facing the interception of the Dayue people, I am afraid that they will only Can drink hate on the spot.

So, simply put, let’s all turn to the Han people!

In fact, for a long period of time, it was a very normal thing for the barbarians on the grassland to take refuge in the dynasty of the Central Plains. On the side of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian also seriously verified that the Huns, Xianbei, Uganda The migration footprints of the Huan people and other ethnic groups on the grasslands prove that their ancestors were either conferred by Shennong and Xuanyuan, or they were tribes ruled by the ancestors of Yao, Shun and Yu.

In particular, among the Xiongnu, several tribes originally had contacts with Zhao, Yan, and even Qin. Therefore, the Han Dynasty said that, in fact, thousands of years ago, everyone was a family. The problem is that we don’t look very similar to the previous ancestors. For example, Fuxi’s Nuwa still has a human head and a snake body, and Shennong’s has a crystal belly. At that time, some ancestors also looked like It is very different from the Han people of today...

This naturally gave the Huns a step down. Since they were originally a family, but because of the choice of their ancestors, one chose farming and the other chose herding. Then, since all tribes on the grassland can unite and say that they are The Huns, then, there seems to be nothing wrong with the Han people who took refuge in the Han Dynasty and called themselves Han?

Therefore, they quickly convinced themselves, and almost immediately, they sent an envoy with the heads of Yi Zhixie and his son to express their surrender.Those tribal leaders who were not considered the main part of the Xiongnu at all, but who were far away from the blood of the Huns' royal blood, could be Shan Yu. You can't get Shan Yu's position!

Naturally, the Han Dynasty generously gave the Huns in the headquarters the same title of Shan Yu, and then, the reforms against the Huns began.

The Han Dynasty directly sent people to the Xiongnu, saying that your life of living by water and grass in the past was too primitive. We used to be two families, so it is not easy to dictate your life, but now we are a family, so, Some things can be said directly!

It is almost a matter of course for backward civilizations to yearn for advanced civilizations.In fact, the Huns also learned a little farming technology from the Central Plains before, but they lacked tools and corresponding technologies. Therefore, their so-called farming was completely slash-and-burn farming. When the land comes out, the seeds are directly sprinkled, and then the livestock are brought to continue grazing, and when they come back in autumn, they can harvest a season of grain.It is conceivable how low this efficiency is and how embarrassing the output is.

But now, the Han people directly stated that since you are our little brothers now, then, in many things, it is natural that the big brother will come back to help!

The Han Dynasty put on a very fair appearance, saying that your former nobles can continue to be Shanyu and leaders, but you need to settle down. You divide the range of the ranch, and then send out instructors to teach you how to plant better pastures, dig cellars to make silage fodder, and the imperial court will send some Han people to cooperate with you. Han people cultivate, and you, Continue grazing, everyone complements each other!

In addition, wool is a good thing. Everyone should try to raise sheep with relatively long wool. In spring and summer, when the wool and cashmere are cut off, the Han people will teach you to remove the smell from the wool, and then weave it into thread with a spinning wheel. As for the imperial court, it will pay a high price for recycling.When the workshop set up by the imperial court in the southern part of the Mu Dynasty makes woolen clothes, cashmere clothes, blankets, and felts, you don't have to worry about winter in the future.

In short, after a combination of punches, the nobles at the top are also satisfied, and the herdsmen at the bottom are even more satisfied. The nobles at the top still have the right to rule over the herdsmen at the bottom. Of course, these herdsmen are their property, and they are too harsh on their own property. It is not acceptable.Just like in the Han Dynasty, it was illegal for the master to kill the servants and maidservants, and they needed to be punished.So it is the same in the Xiongnu. The nobles have the right to rule over the herdsmen, but they can no longer kill them.

As for the herdsmen at the bottom, they have their own property, and everyone clearly told them that this is not from the gift of the leader, but from the emperor of the Han family, the favor of the Han court, so you have to do things for the court.

In fact, for the herdsmen at the bottom, they are already satisfied with being able to eat and wear. As for more wealth being exploited by the nobles at the top, everyone is accustomed to this. After all, in the past, what they were deprived of More.

In fact, the imperial court is simply cutting flesh with soft knives. For herdsmen, it is naturally magnanimous, but for nobles, it is nothing more than to paralyze them at the beginning. Afterwards, it will use some administrative means, for example, using Han The title of Marquis in the interior, in exchange for them giving up the right to rule over the bottom herdsmen, if you disagree, it’s okay, after all, you will also be Han people in the future, you must not understand Chinese, you must not know Chinese characters, so, everyone together Let's focus on studying. As for the tribal affairs, you are still the leaders. Are you afraid that the herdsmen below will rebel?

In fact, the so-called Han people sent by the Han Dynasty were all from the reclamation group, and they were all good farmers. Similarly, they were all good candidates for political commissars. Gangzi herdsmen only know that there is the Son of Heaven and Chang'an, but they don't know what happened to the original Chanyu, Wang Ting, and the headman!

Without the support of the herdsmen at the bottom, those so-called chiefs are nothing more than empty frames. If they really have any ideas that they shouldn't have, the Han family can completely make them acclimatized, die of serious illness, and then let their descendants succeed. , Naturally, the grassland will completely fall into the hands of the Han people!

By the time Liu Yan got married, the vast majority of the Huns had been completely Sinicized, even though they still maintained the habit of grazing. However, the settled herdsmen can only be called ranchers. How much combat power can these people maintain? Woolen cloth?In particular, the grassland is now full of bastions, and the various field regiments of the Han army will send people to change defenses in turn. Even if someone has any ideas, they can only give up!

What's more, in addition to the horse farm specially reserved by the Han family, the herdsmen raise more cattle and sheep, and cows produce more milk than sheep. There is still a market for various dairy products in the Han Dynasty. In the past, the Huns They can only make low-quality cheese, but now, with the support of Han people's technology, not only the production of cheese has been enhanced, they can also make cream, toffee, and condensed milk, and even in a new factory opened by Shu Yun, they even Milk powder can be made!

These are all good things. The Han family has been promoting that eating more dairy products can make the next generation stronger and smarter. Therefore, let alone the bulk of dairy products on the grassland, even folks have People began to sell cow's milk and goat's milk, and there was a rumor in the palace that there is a way to remove the smell of cow's milk and goat's milk. Add almonds and cook together, and put a little icing sugar, the children next door will cry, okay!

It can be said that nowadays those herdsmen are earning a lot of money just by selling dairy products, and all of them seem to be considered middle class in the Central Plains, and wool is even better.The Han people set up workshops on the prairie, specially grading wool, and bought bleached wool according to different grades. The best cashmere could be sold for hundreds of dollars a catty, and when the market was good, it could be sold for a thousand dollars.

Of course, it is not easy to make up a catty of cashmere. Even if a sheep is bald with a special comb, you can only get out a handful of cashmere.

But the shepherds keep so many sheep that even the most careless man can sell the sheep's wool for an astonishing price every year.

There are more cattle and sheep, so naturally there are fewer horses. Horses are more expensive than cattle and sheep, and they eat more food. Moreover, although the government will buy good horses at a good price, the problem is that a good horse needs more money. It takes a lot of effort to raise them.At other times, the output is not much, and the taste of mare's milk is not as good as that of goat's milk and cow's milk.

Under such circumstances, although these herdsmen still maintain the custom of riding and shooting, it is also to fight for the emperor of the Han family in exchange for military merits.Fighting for the emperor of the Han family is much easier than fighting for your own leader. Not only do you not need to prepare food yourself, but the court also has many kinds of subsidies, plus rewards for military achievements. When you come back, you will get rich overnight.

In addition to the attachment of the Xiongnu, Mitsukoshi also honestly belonged to the Han Dynasty. There is no way, the current economy of Mitsukoshi is almost completely kidnapped by the Han family. They all use five baht to produce sugar cane , The rice was sold to the Han people. It can be said that all the people in Sanyue were farming for the Han people.The Han Dynasty sent people there to help the people of Sanyue develop water conservancy, build roads, and reclaim land. The nobles there exploited a little more, and the people below ran to work in the plantations and workshops opened for the Han people. , Dongou originally had a heart of attachment, and after Zhao Tuo passed away, Nanyue also honestly wrote a letter to attach it. As for Minyue, he wanted to insist, but both neighbors seemed to have a deep hatred for Minyue. Hai, if they keep carrying it to death, the troops of Dongou and Nanyue will immediately march into Minyue to burn and loot. Therefore, the two neighbors bowed their heads, and after some discussions with Minyue, they finally surrendered obediently. up.

It can be said that Shu Yun has laid a perfect foundation for Liu Yan. As long as Liu Yan does not act recklessly in the future, it can be said that a temple name will be obtained.

In fact, under Shu Yun's influence, Liu Yan couldn't be a good boy at all. He is also a very ambitious and far-sighted figure.He has now set his sights on the sea and the Western Regions.

After Liu Yan came to power, he named Liu Xun, the younger brother who was still in Chang'an, the king of Jiaozhou, and asked him to go to Jiaozhou to become a vassal and preside over the affairs of Jiaozhou.In fact, Liu Xun was allowed to open up Jiaozhou.

Now in Jiangdu, in Qi State, Shaofu has set up shipyards, and the building ships are obviously outdated now. Now on the sea, more advanced sailing ships use sails to borrow the power of the monsoon as power. Now in Along the coast, these sailboats have already undertaken the transportation of many bulk cargoes. Compared with driving in inland rivers, at sea, not only can they carry more cargo, but the speed is actually faster, and the shipping cost is naturally lower.

Nowadays, many businessmen have to spend a lot of money to buy sea trade licenses from the imperial court, and then they can order sea ships in shipyards, and they have to pay taxes according to the value of the goods at the customs. Although there are many places to spend money, but Relatively speaking, sea ships are relatively safe, at least there are no pirates and pirates, because in the east, except for the Han Dynasty, no one can build such a large ship and sail on the sea.As for the Aegean Sea, the countries on the Mediterranean Sea have certain shipping capabilities, but it is not an easy task to cross the ocean and come to the East.

In fact, the Han Dynasty’s understanding of the West today comes from the Western Regions, where merchants from the West would cross the Eurasian continent and then pursue the so-called Silk Country.It can be said that businessmen from many countries in the Western Regions played the role of second-hand dealers in countries such as the Han Dynasty and Western Rome.

The Han Dynasty has now turned its attention to the sea. When the sea ship sailed along the coastline, it had found Taiwan and even Hainan Island. Liu Xun was sent to Jiaozhou, hoping that he could use it as a base to develop Taiwan and Hainan Island.

Liu Yan has promised that as long as he is willing to do it, Liu Xun's son will be named king on these two islands in the future.

Liu Xun is not a character who likes to enjoy wealth and honor. In fact, for Liu Xun, he learned too much from his mother and elder brother, so he naturally didn't want to stay under the control of the traditional Han family. To be a restricted vassal king, and according to Liu Yan's promise, as long as he is willing to go to Jiaozhou, the court will not only send people to immigrate, provide enough financial support, but also make it completely ruled by Liu Xun. Things can be operated without going through Chang'an.

It can be said that in Jiaozhou, Liu Xun is the emperor of the land, and he can do anything!

Liu Xun asked Shu Yun for a large sum of money, and even made a batch of interest-free loans, and then led a group of people to take office with confidence.

In fact, this is also an old trick of Zhou Tianzi in the past.After Zhou Tianzi defeated Yin Shang and established the Zhou Dynasty, those princes who originally followed Zhou Tianzi against Shang were almost all sealed in various barren lands. In fact, the ancestors of those countries in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods were all poor , with his retainers and slaves, opened up the later land little by little, and only then did the vast territory in the later Chinese traditional history come into being.

Compared with doing it yourself, this mode of feudal princes is more cost-effective and the effect is better.

Liu Yan temporarily handed over Jiaozhou to Liu Xun, his only biological brother. As for the situation in the Western Regions, Liu Yan was very concerned.

Most of the overseas that the Han Dynasty could contact was still a barren land, but the Western Regions already had a splendid civilization.For example, Dawan, who was nearly beaten by the Huns, and then honestly asked the Han Dynasty for help. The civilization of this country obviously originated from Greece. The gold coins they use have the image of the moon god Artemis on the back, and the front It is the portrait of King Dawan.

Dawan uses the Greek phalanx. Their craftsmen are highly skilled, good at making exquisite utensils, and have high attainments in art and culture.Of course, correspondingly, they are also very proud. If it weren't for the brutality of the Huns, they would not want to surrender to the Han Dynasty at all.

Even now, the suzerain country they believe is actually Greece, which has long since severed ties, or a principality city-state alliance that has been scattered in Central Asia and West Asia for a long time, and has always maintained a certain degree of respect for the Han Dynasty. reserved.

As for the others, in fact, most of the small countries in the western regions hope that the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu will fight together. They can survive in the cracks between the two sides.

But they never imagined that the Huns, who used to be disrespectful to them for whatever they asked for, would directly attack the city and conquer the land, destroy the country and kill the Huns. When facing the Han people, they could be said to be vulnerable. , the shadow that once enveloped the countries of the Western Regions for nearly a hundred years just disappeared.The Huns honestly proclaimed their vassals to the Han Dynasty. Even Mobei, which is the farthest from Chang’an, has now begun to register as a household of Qimin. In name, they surrendered to several separate Shanyus. In fact, Shanyu has long been emptied. , is just a nominal leader.After all, the nobles below want money and people, so why do they want to add an ancestor to themselves?

On the Mobei side, at least a certain degree of autonomy is maintained. After all, there is still a certain distance from the territory actually controlled by the Han Dynasty. There is endless money!

And with the approach of the Han Dynasty reclamation group, the scope of activities of the Han people is getting bigger and bigger, and they are getting closer and closer to the countries of the Western Regions, which also makes those small countries quite uneasy.

As for Liu Yan, he is very greedy for the rich products of the Western Regions, as well as some culture and technology that seem to be different from the Han Dynasty, but the distance is still a problem. However, it still takes a certain amount of time for the population to multiply. It takes 20 years for a generation to truly grow up. Therefore, now that we are developing westward, we can only rely on the reclamation troops, but the number of immigrants has been constant. It seems relatively insufficient.

The main reason is that industry and commerce are now eager for high-quality people. They pay higher wages. When the local people have enough money to live, most people are really unwilling to leave their hometowns.

Another point is that the place is too far away. If you want to migrate to a coastal place, you can also go by sea. For example, Liu Xun developed Jiaozhou. The immigrants transported there are all by sea. First build a city on the coast of Jiaozhou, and then Step by step to develop inside.It doesn't take long to emigrate by sea. After all, when eating and sleeping, the boat will continue to move forward, and it is more convenient to replenish on the road. But if you migrate to the west by land, it is really a very troublesome thing. The cost is high, and because of acclimatization and other reasons, some accidents are prone to occur on the road.

The biggest thing in the sea is the whale. As long as you don't jump into the sea, even if there are sharks or even sea monsters in the sea, they won't have trouble with sea ships.But on land, the west is still a relatively primitive environment. Tigers, leopards, wolves, and all kinds of wild beasts are there.There are not many camps that can be temporarily used as shelters on the road, and many teams can only sleep in the wilderness, which increases the danger along the way.

At the beginning, Liu Yan wanted to restore the straight roads built by the Qin people, but these straight roads have long since been abandoned, covered by trees and weeds, and it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to clean them up, and after that, It has to be maintained from time to time, and then Shu Yun proposed a once-and-for-all solution, that is, simply build the track directly.

During the Qin Dynasty, the Qin people began to use rails to transport supplies, but at that time, wooden rails were used, and they were limited to the headquarters of the Qin people in Guanzhong. .

But now, the Han Dynasty is booming. As long as any commodity can be produced, there will never be any surplus. The most troublesome place now is those big businessmen who have a lot of money, but they don’t know where to go. invest.In the past, they could buy land, but now, the strict taxation allows them to only keep a minimum amount of land, otherwise, the taxation will kill their family.So, now they, the younger generation, simply indulge in all kinds of extravagant enjoyment, sensuality, cockfighting and lackeys, whatever excitement to play!

As for Shu Yun, he simply gave them a choice. They can form a joint venture with the imperial court to build the track, directly build the track, and then they can monopolize the track. That is to say, within a certain number of years, everyone can use this track They need to pay for the rails. Of course, the premise is that when the country uses the rails, it must unconditionally give priority to the court.After the number of years expires, the ownership of the rails will be returned to the imperial court and operated by the imperial court.

Even in the Han Dynasty, the most profitable business is still monopoly, and the other is collusion between officials and businessmen.What's more, in these years, many businessmen who did not do things very well were either directly accused of annexing land, hiding their population privately, and keeping slaves, and some businessmen with bad reputations in the local area were directly moved to Maoling according to the rules. I went around the Zhaoling Mausoleum built by Liu Yan, so whether it is more far-sighted or really thinks this is very profitable, the court only leaked the wind, and everyone wanted to use the car to carry gold cakes and copper coins. Sign up at Shaofu.

Then Shaofu said that the track in Guanzhong has been contracted by Shaofu. You can only choose other places. It is useless to choose. You have to give Shaofu a deposit first to ensure that it is within the time limit. If you can't finish it, then you have to ask the crime.If several people compete for the track on the same route, then it has to be done through bidding.

In fact, some tracks to more remote places have been undertaken by the Shaofu, because the tracks to be laid in these places are very long, and the technical requirements are relatively high. Most importantly, more human resources are needed, and only Only with a small government can we easily mobilize so many manpower to complete such a heavy project.

After Liu Yan discussed with a group of ministers in the court, in addition to the railway track in Guanzhong, he gave priority to laying the railway track to the Western Regions. As for the manpower needed, it was directly completed by the army and local recruits.The master craftsman of Shaofu will first estimate the time required for the corresponding project, and then, if it can be completed ahead of schedule, there will be rewards. Civil servants are not only rewarded with money, but also have the opportunity to be promoted to the title, and the same is true for the mobilized army. As a military merit, to reward.

It's not that the officials and princes in the court don't care about things in other places, and only pay attention to the Western Regions. It's not only the resources but also the civilization in the Western Regions that are more attractive, but also because there are news of the so-called Great Qin and Great Xia. According to ancient legends, the Queen Mother of the West who was visited by King Mu of Zhou lived in the place to the west of Daxia. Besides, just looking at this translation, these people in the court thought that the people living there should be compatriots of Zhuxia. People who migrated in the Yin, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties, or even the older kings' era.

In particular, in the news from the merchants in the Western Regions, it seems that the orthodox Daqin, or the Romans, has the image of black hair and black eyes. In the eyes of the Han people, this is naturally the same family. Therefore, for the Han Dynasty Speaking of people, going west is really full of attraction. Whether it is to reconnect with the lost compatriots or to explore the footprints of the ancestors, it can very well meet the needs of these people in the court.

Of course, these are actually the reasons for external publicity, and the real reason is actually interests.

In such a vast land to the west, the Da Yue people were beaten so hard by the Huns that they could not find the north. After fleeing to the west, they were able to establish a vast country and live a very rich life. Very little self-control.

Thick burials are popular these days, and the amount of gold buried in the ground every year is unknown, but things like gold mines are non-renewable, and there are only so many in the Central Plains, who knows what will happen in the future, it can't be my turn At that time, there were obviously high-ranking officials and magnates, but they didn't even have many funerals!

As for the Western Regions, gold is normally used as currency. It can be seen that there must be a lot of gold there. Even if you just do business with them, you can get a lot of benefits!That being the case, it is natural to have close contact with them, instead of relying on those daring caravans to travel between the East and the West, which is too inefficient.

Faced with his son's ambitious statement that he would build a track of more than [-] miles in his lifetime, Shu Yun's attitude was, if you like it, then go for it!

Anyway, the cars running on the rails today are not heavy trains, but relatively light horse-drawn carriages. Even if the carriages towed are larger than those on ordinary straight roads, they can carry more things, but, in fact, for the rails The pressure is not that great, not to mention that there are specially treated sleepers underneath!

Now that the Han Dynasty has initially entered the industrialized production of steel, there are four or five relatively large steel smelting bases alone, and the amount of steel produced every year is quite a lot.Although some of these steels need to meet the needs of the military for refitting, as long as they are willing to increase production, there will still be a lot of surplus.

The iron and steel industry can accommodate a large number of industrial populations. In the beginning, many cities in later generations were finally formed by such large-scale heavy industrial factories.Anyway, there is no need to worry about overcapacity now. Therefore, in some geographical locations, they are relatively close to coal and iron ore production areas, and the original population is not so large. Even if industrial pollution occurs, it will not have much impact on normal agricultural production. Where it is affected, there is no problem in expanding production.Moreover, it can also attract a large number of self-cultivating farmers who have lost their land, or who have little land, and the tenants are converted into industrial population.

Therefore, when Liu Yan succeeded to the throne, the Han Dynasty produced hundreds of thousands of tons of qualified steel every year, so that many machines have begun to abandon wood and use steel for production, which greatly prolongs the service life. Of course , Steel is easy to rust, so lubricating oil and anti-rust oil made of whale oil are also sold very well today.

It can be said that with steel production as the center, Dahan has now initially realized the transformation into an industrialized society, and has already formed an overwhelming advantage with surrounding countries.Under such circumstances, everyone's pioneering spirit has been awakened. The desire for land and wealth is originally engraved in the genes of the Han people. Liu Yan wants to use the laying of railroad tracks so that the big Han can truly control Expand your own territory and expand your influence, even the veterans in the court agree with this very much.

In particular, because of the popularization of education in the army, almost all the officials at the grassroots level in the Han Dynasty now have military backgrounds, and those who are in charge of the court today are also those newcomers who have made great contributions in the war against the Huns. Jin Liehou, they have benefited from the expansion, and now they only hate that the world they know is not big enough, how can they oppose all kinds of things that can increase the court's war potential!

Faced with such a trend, Shu Yun felt that it was time to tighten up the trend of expansion. At least it would take decades to consolidate the existing territory.

Therefore, even though Liu Yan has been in charge, Shu Yun, who lives in Changle Palace, still maintains considerable influence in the court.

In particular, Shu Yun's ten-year ruling career has brought great changes here. No one can deny her credit. The most important thing is that Shu Yun, the queen mother, does not work for the welfare of her mother's family, nor does she think about it all day long. He favored the youngest son, and he has always been very fair to his subordinates. Now many ministers in the court were promoted by Shu Yun. Before that, many of them were completely penniless, but it was the Queen Mother Shu Yun who gave them a chance.This made them feel more grateful to Shu Yun. As for Liu Yan, although he also had some scruples about his mother, he also knew in his heart that although he was already in charge, at this stage, Still can't get rid of his mother's influence, even, it's like his mother didn't love the late emperor long ago, but she still wants to do things under the banner of the late emperor many times. , must also respect the opinion of the birth mother.

Fortunately, Shu Yun is not someone who likes to exercise power. Her current role is to
