Chapter 799: : A tour before proclaiming the emperor

Any small group in the world that concentrates most of their wealth without giving back to the society is harmful. It does not only refer to a certain group, but all similar groups. No matter how their wealth is derived, basically there will be no society. What are the benefits.

It is difficult to avoid the concentration of a large amount of wealth in the hands of a few people. The powerful are easy to plunder and grab. They will always ensure that they have power because of their amazing wealth. The most direct way to change this situation is Make a revolution.

However, yes, any revolution that breaks the concentration of most wealth (resources) by a few people is just brewing another reincarnation. After the victory of the revolution, the group in power will embark on the previous overthrow whether they like it or not. The target’s old path has re-emerged as a group with a minority but masters the vast majority of resources. Let’s call them vested interests after the victory of the revolution.

   It is impossible to make everyone rich, no matter what kind of system is adopted, it is the inevitability of social development and has nothing to do with fairness or anything.

   Exploitation and being exploited will become eternal existence, and different classes will exist forever. That is the destiny of the social structure itself.

"The group of people who hold wealth, their source of wealth is not based on plundering or exploiting their own nation. For their own nation or country, it is the most healthy way to accumulate wealth." Liu Yan said. Foreign colonization uses plundering and exploitation of aliens (other countries) as the main means: "It is impossible to completely avoid plundering and exploitation of the same nation, but it can minimize the internal opposition of the nation."

   Liu Yan will talk about this. It was he who went on tour again and left Chang'an to Guzang. The next stop will be Yangguan.

  Chang'an to Guzang are building a national highway, and busy labor can be seen everywhere. A little bit different from the past is that a large number of slaves from the Western Regions replaced the Han people who originally worked. Those Han people were transferred to other places to participate in the construction of water conservancy projects.

  The re-entry of the Han people into the Western Regions happened at the end of the eighth year of Yuanshuo, and almost eight months have passed.

   At present, the Han people have regained control of Shan Shan. The forefront to the west is deep into the western territory of Qiuci, and to the north is the attacking iron gate and entering the hinterland of Yanqi.

In the beginning, the Han people did not enter the Western Regions with the goal of siege of cities and land. It was because of a kind of stop loss to encounter natural disasters. When they invaded, they did not have to stare at a certain city to fight hard. Where can they be better? Where will you go? Facts have also proved that this model is very useful for the Western Regions. Under the intrusion behavior that is not established and has no fixed targets, the people of the Western Regions do not know where to choose to stick to. They are facing attacks everywhere, even if they want to deploy troops and defense Where to keep.

Under the invasion behavior aimed at plunder, there is no fixed attack target. It can even be said that there is no comprehensive strategy and tactics at all. Under the beat of a chaotic fist, Qiuci is completely paralyzed, and Yanqi and Shule can be called in the Western Regions. Two countries that can be big powers are also struggling to cope with it.

"We have done very well in the Indochina Peninsula and the Western Regions." Liu Yan was standing in Guzang's watchtower, looking at a patch of soil in the distance, and a mountain whose name was not known farther away: "A wealthy group of people are brave. The adventurous class did not cause any harm to the people in China. At the same time, we (the country) have gained a lot of cheap energy."

Of course, the people who directly obtained the dividends from external plundering were the people who directly participated in the plunder. They brought back the captured slaves. Although the law stipulated that they would be sold to the government as a priority, the government used those slaves for various national projects. In fact, a small amount of it flows to the people.

Not only labor, but those who went out to plunder also brought back a huge amount of wealth. They paid the necessary fees when transporting the wealth into the country. The wealth was taken home for consumption, and consumption would inevitably lead to production and form a Series of loops.

   Xie Ai witnessed the natural disasters in the Northwest from beginning to end.

At the beginning, there was an inevitable riot in the Northwest, and there were some so-called remnants of agitation and actions. It must be said that the Northwest was really messed up for a while, but fortunately it was quickly suppressed and no erosion was formed. The trend.

  The government called on the people to go to the Western Regions to plunder and stop losses. At the harvest stage, a wide variety of wealth continued to be transported back to the mainland, and those who had done meritorious services also won the title.

   The acquisition of wealth has enabled the vast majority of people to escape the proletariat. Those who obtained the title not only changed their status, but they also obtained the land brought by the title itself. In short, they became a member of the vested interests.

   "With wealth, they do everything they can to obtain food, although not much..." Xie Ai said most emotionally: "Those who have won the title, they will not allow anyone to destroy the current life, and they are very actively cooperating with the government."

   It is inevitable. All have become members of vested interests. Anything harmful to them will be rejected. The so-called harmful, of course, refers to any behavior that wants to overthrow Liu Yan's rule. After they become title holders, whether it is a change of status or related privileges, isn't it based on Liu Yan's rule of the country?

   Liu Yan has been absorbing more people into vested interests, but it is difficult to do more because of some "rules".

  Only when more people enjoy the dividends from the ruling class, the country will be more stable. Liu Yan now desperately needs stability, and coming to the northwest is exactly this factor.

The first batch of construction projects in New Chang'an have entered the final stage. Seeing that the final moment of proclaiming the emperor is imminent, Liu Yan's arrangement will be the last time to patrol the place as a "king". After proclaiming emperor, unless it is for special needs, it will be the last time. It is difficult to hang out anymore.

   Liu Yan will first patrol the northwestern region. One of the goals is to coerce those who are dissatisfied, and the purpose of comforting the place is more clear. When he arrived at Yangguan, he followed the ancient system and greeted the fallen warriors as a king. Naturally, he would not be all the fallen victims. They would be some of the victims of merit or reputation. He used the most obvious attitude to affirm the contributions of the soldiers and civilians. Encourage the military and civilians to continue their efforts.

After patrolling the northwest, including the work in Yangguan, he will turn to the grassland route, first take the route of Junji Mountain, then enter Rouran Mountain, and patrol half of the grassland along the line where the Han army is stationed. , Then from Yanmen Pass into northern Xinjiang, and then head to Liaodong, to the northeast that is under development, and finally take a boat from the peninsula to the south, and land at Jingkou, and then take the national highway back from Jiankang to Tongguan, which is under construction. To Guanzhong.

   It is estimated that the entire tour will take about a year. Liu Yan will naturally take some of the three males and nine princes. It is also the first time that the eldest son Liu Shen stays in the new Chang'an to take on the responsibility of supervising the country.

   Liu Shen is eight years old soon and has received enlightenment education.

  In the eighth year of Yuanshuo, Liu Yan appointed Prime Minister Jichang to be Liu Shen's teacher, and was also assigned some doctoral teaching knowledge.

The royal family’s education has had a process since ancient times, usually around the age of three, the enlightenment stage is about one to two years, and then according to which school advocated by the dynasty, the appointment of proficiency in that knowledge... such as "Doctor of Shangshu" to teach " Shangshu. If you are selected as the heir, you must learn "Zhou Li", "Chun Qiu", and "Book of Merchants". The rest of the royal family does not need to learn the above three books.

   Liu Shen's becoming a state jailer was considered a signal, that is, Liu Yan finally stated that he wanted to establish a prince, which greatly encouraged the morale of all his subjects, and at the same time, it also had a sense of national excitement.

   That's a very simple truth. Zhu Xia emphasized that the country cannot have no prince in one day, and also attached importance to the country cannot have no prince in one day. To put it simply, contemporary people already know who they should be loyal to, but when they are loyal to contemporary kings, they also need to whom to loyal in the future, believing that the existence of heirs will avoid unnecessary political risks.

  Those who wish for the stability of the country are of course happy to have a clear prince. There is no shortage of princes competing for throne in history. Then, the officials stand in their own teams. If you choose the right one, you may not be so prosperous. If you choose the wrong one, you will be exiled. If you choose the wrong one, you will die.

   Because of the princes fighting for throne, there are also examples of countries entering civil wars, especially the "Eight Kings Attack" in the Western Jin Dynasty which had the greatest impact. Anyway, no one in Han would like to see the enslavement of foreign races happening again because of the civil war.

   Liu Shen supervises the country, an eight-year-old child...Even if the child matures earlier now, especially the child of the ruler's family, it is a joke to say that he can govern the country. He stayed in New Chang'an, and it was Prime Minister Ji Chang and other important ministers who were actually doing things. Things that the ministers and workers could not decide would be sent to Liu Yan quickly.

The northwestern region is the territory of the Han family where the drought first broke out. After more than a year, the plants that lacked a lot of water dried up and died. Although the land is not dry and cracked everywhere, most of the places are really yellowish with a little wind. Larger ones are extremely dusty.

"The number of people going to the Western Regions is still increasing. We are encouraging the people to settle in Shanshan." Xie Ai is not reporting on behalf of Yuecuo. He was later appointed with relevant powers: "In addition to the Western Regions, we are still arranging people to enter the naming system. It’s the area of ​​Qinghai."

The Han people are raging in the Western Regions, and Tuyuhun, a neighbor in the southern part of the Western Regions, is also a tragedy. Especially when they sent envoys to the Han country and it is not recognized, it means that the Han country does not recognize the existence of a country like Tuyuhun at all, even the country does not recognize it. Can you expect to be treated kindly by the Han Dynasty?

   Liu Yan asked: "What is the population of Northwest China now?"

This is hard to hold back to thank Ai. The current population flow in the Northwest is at an unprecedented peak. People are going out of the Northwest every moment, and people from the rest of the Han country enter the Northwest every day, only those from the rest of the Han country. People from the region traveled through the northwest to the Western Regions, which resulted in the inability to count the number of people in the northwest.

   Liu Yan also knew the difficulty, so he added: "About what is it?"

   "My Majesty, should it be about 400,000?" Xie Ai replied with infinite emotion. The infinite attraction of people to wealth and fame and fortune leads to the outward flow of population. On the other hand, why not leave or wait for death? He hesitated and asked: "The people who have migrated out encourage to settle in place, after the disaster year..."

"No people will be moved to the Northwest from other places." Liu Yan gave a positive answer. He really felt that the number of settled people in the Northwest should be smaller. Time will increase the number of people here, but we must never move people over. Filling: "The Prime Minister's Office will further adjust the land policy according to local needs."

Xie Ai actually has a lot to say. For example, the Northwest is adjacent to the Western Regions. If there are too few people, it is not good for controlling the Western Regions. However, he is not a three-man and nine-prince, and he does not have enough qualifications to intervene in some national policies. Yan's specific thoughts.

   Liu Yan didn't have any special ideas, but the environment in the Northwest plays a decisive role in the entire country. It is more obvious that once the Northwest becomes bare, then the Yellow River should really be "yellow".

   The current Yellow River is not yet called the Yellow River, but is called the Big River, because of course it has not "turned yellow". It should be said that the river is still very clear.

Liu Yan’s unwillingness to cause the environment to deteriorate due to overpopulation in the Northwest is not unreasonable. In fact, the Northwest is really not a good farming area, and even grazing needs a degree~www.wuxiamtl.com~Han has been migrating. At present, the top priority is to fill the land of Jingchu, the Northeast Plain, and the Indochina Peninsula. Among these three places, Jingchu will be the largest grain-producing area in the hinterland, the Northeast Ping principle is the largest grain-producing area in the north, and the Indochina Peninsula has a long way to go if it wants to become a "local".

   Xie Ai was sincere and fearful because of Liu Yan's explanation. His current position is Yushi Zhongcheng, and the country's supreme ruler personally explained the country's core policies, even the prime minister dare not take it for granted.

   Liu Yan stayed in Guzang for three days. He set off to Yangguan in the background, with dozens of heads hanging on the head of Guzang City.

In the original matter, there was no blood when a king went on a tour. Instability elements were cut off every place he went, including some deliberately trying to rebel, and some corrupt officials and officials. Liu Yan could still "distinguish the enemy from ourselves" and kill people. It will never kill a mistake.

   The authority of the ruler is based on blood, and Liu Yan has long been accustomed to this phenomenon. When he arrived at Yangguan, he was demonstrating another function of the ruler, that is, his responsibility as a patriarch.

   The ceremony for welcoming the fallen ones was very formal and solemn, because the relevant preparations were made in advance, and it was carried out the day after Liu Yan arrived.

   It took three days for the entire patrol team to gather together in Yangguan, and then they headed for the grassland in a mighty manner.

   Liu Yan did not arrange for Xie Ai to accompany him, but before leaving, he had a conversation with Xie Ai about the Rouran tribal alliance. He did not patrol the grassland secretly. He would meet quite a few people, including Rouran Khan Yu Jiulu Bati.
