Chapter 252 Balance the fortunes of the world! The great Han Yiyang Marquis, Fu Jiezi inherits!
It's dark.
Yin hour three quarters.
As more than a hundred envoys from the Western Regions stepped into the city gate, they couldn't help but feel a little emotional:
"Twelve hours ago, this place was still the Loulan Kingdom that had been established for hundreds of years, but when we arrived, it had become a county in Liangzhou!"
Although most of the envoys are not affiliated with the Jiuzhou Xiongbing Wutuo, they are also affiliated with other ranks. They have a certain degree of force and are directly subordinate to the emperor and the prime minister. Their strength is not lower than the rank of a soldier. There is even a strong general rank.
It can be said that he is half a warrior class.
Although they were dissatisfied with the Qingzhou Army, deep down in their hearts, they still recognized the great achievements of "opening up frontiers and expanding territory", and their mission to the Western Regions was also for the development of the country.
They all praised each other:
"General Jiang led 3,000 Qingzhou soldiers, destroyed Loulan, sacrificed his head and nine cauldrons, and invited wise ministers like Zhuge Wuhou to transform the country into a county. He can be said to be a brave general like David!"
"That's right, if such heroic deeds were spread back to Kyushu, those storytellers would probably say something bad~"
"If we can ask General Jiang to escort us and other envoys, we will really have peace of mind."
At this moment, one of the envoys suddenly noticed something was wrong, turned his head and looked at one of the middle-aged men with a face that looked like an eagle:
"Brother Yinghu, you have been urging us to speed up our journey. Why did you say nothing when we arrived at Loulan?"
There are also envoys who seem to be smiling but not smiling:
"Is it possible that you have an old relationship with Loulan and don't want him to be included in our Nine Provinces Kingdom?"
The envoy known as "Infant Tiger" was one of Prime Minister David's confidants.
He smiled sarcastically:
"But what's the use of occupying this poor land? It's just a waste of my David's national power."
Another envoy who claimed to be a civil servant immediately helped:
"good."
"Those warriors cost the country countless money and food, and a large amount of land was forcibly expropriated and converted into woodland medicine gardens for the warriors to practice."
"But the result is just provoking one meaningless war after another. The Liaodong battle thirty years ago was won, but only a bitter and cold land was obtained. Although some souls could be mined,
I bought some ginseng and hunted some furs, but the cost has not been recovered so far.”
"And in this Western Region, the Gobi Desert has no end in sight. It can be said that it is a battle of ten thousand gains and one gain!"
far away.
Jiang Chen led one hundred and fifty soldiers from the other end of the street to welcome the envoy.
With the powerful five senses of the general, the arguments of many envoys had already reached Jiang Chen's ears. He walked forward quickly and spoke immediately:
"That's wrong."
"According to this general's opinion, both the Liaodong War and the current Loulan can be said to be a profitable business."
Sound spreads through the streets.
Many envoys stopped and looked up. Seeing Jiang Chen wearing a golden-green armor, they couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Tai Sui Armor!"
In fact.
The gold fish scale armor is made by craftsmen, it is too straightforward.
After the military attache's robe came out, storytellers changed the name of this armor to the more powerful Tai Sui armor. Although it was a bit arrogant, the people were more willing to gradually become famous in Kyushu.
Even within the Qingzhou Army, they gradually recognized this name.
When they saw this distinctive armor and young and handsome face, many envoys reacted quickly:
"Are you General Jiang who offered his skull to the Nine Cauldrons?"
Some envoys raised the corners of their mouths slightly and joked in a low voice:
"The one who offered military rations?"
Jiang Chen silently ignored the dark history and smiled calmly:
"Exactly."
"I also ask all the envoys to come with me. General Hong has already set up a banquet and is waiting for you."
Finished.
Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and pointed at the former Loulan Palace, now the Sheriff's Mansion.
"good."
Some envoys from the Western Regions nodded and cast approving glances at Jiang Chen.
But Yinghu knew that the mission entrusted to him by the Prime Minister was destroyed by this person, he couldn't help but itched his teeth with hatred, and snorted coldly:
"A useless war will benefit the country?"
Jiang Chen took a step forward, and with the powerful Qi and blood possessed by the wilderness captain, he secretly burst out an oppressive momentum and said loudly:
"Although the great benefits I said are exaggerated, there are still some clear and great benefits that will fall on my David Wu Dynasty."
"First!"
Jiang Chen raised his first finger:
"The Central Plains of Kyushu have always been full of martial virtues, so they conquered the south early. Rice is popular all over the world, but few people grow wheat, so no one has discovered the delicious taste of pasta."
"But now that wheat flour has come out, pasta may be popular in the north, and the two sides of the thousands-mile Kongque River are fertile soil rich in wheat."
"Isn't it a great benefit to increase the grain fields of thousands of miles for my David and Wu Dynasty?"
Several envoys licked their lips and thought of the many ways to eat pasta that have become popular recently. They couldn't help but move their index fingers and said in approval:
"That makes sense."
Jiang Chen smiled and raised his second finger:
"second."
"Jiuding is an important weapon to control the country and balance the fortunes of the world. Every time it gets a share of the kingdom, Jiuding will be happy and more willing to protect the dynasty and balance the fortunes of each year and state."
The young envoys disagreed, but several elderly envoys were deeply impressed and nodded in agreement:
"As the saying goes, you should avoid having good luck when you are old!"
"The more luck, the better. Smooth growth is the way to go."
"For example, if there is a harvest every autumn and there is a bumper harvest one year and extinction the next, or a bumper harvest in the south and a severe drought in the north, some people will have their families destroyed."
To put it bluntly.
The most important value of Jiuding is to provide the people of David with a high-quality insurance with almost no commission, which will reduce their luck in good years and bring blessings to all people in bad years.
For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Taoist ancestor Li Dan traveled to the Qingzhou area, but heard that there was either a severe drought or a flood. The reason was that the Dragon King controlled the wind and rain. When he was asleep, no rain fell, and when he woke up, he worked overtime to make up for it.
Caused by shortage.
If the Nine Cauldrons gather together to suppress the energy of the world, this strange thing will never happen. If the Dragon King disobeys, he will be killed. It is simple and crude, but effective!
"third!"
Jiang Chen looked indifferent and raised his third finger:
"Loulan is the gateway to the Western Region. Hu merchants from the north and south trade with each other. They are extremely rich just by collecting business taxes, and they are nourished by thousands of miles of grain fields. Therefore, Loulan and the four cities in the east, west, north and south have a total of nearly 42,000 foot soldiers. Although the military soldiers
The good and the bad are mixed, but it can still rival a state!"
"Such a big country has the potential to dominate the Western Regions. If it is allowed to develop and unify the Western Regions, the harm it will cause may be worth 30% of the Huns!"
"In addition, Loulan is also the second country in the Western Regions closest to the grassland, second only to the Cheshi Kingdom. If we station troops here, it will be like a chain, cutting off the possibility of the Xiongnu drawing nutrients from the west!"
Just like Loulan Wang Yan’s fortune in suppressing evil:
[Fate: He was supposed to die from the new Xiongnu invasion a few years later, but due to countless changes in fate and conflicts, he died today!]
Although the old emperor had many shortcomings, one thing was that his judgment was extremely accurate and even far-sighted.
If the new Huns want to revive, they must absorb the half-barbarian and half-Chinese population, as well as the wealth of the Western Regions. Only in this way can they gather strength and go south to invade the Central Plains!
Semi-barbarianization means that these populations can easily be converted into Huns, thereby rapidly increasing the combat power of the grasslands;
Semi-Chinese represents craftsmen, merchants, farmers and literati, and is the key to the Xiongnu establishing its own system;
Needless to say, the wealth of the Western Regions, weapons, iron pots, tea, and spiritual herbs and elixirs, none of which does not require the consumption of gold and silver?
Jiang Chen also said the above words in public, which made many envoys express their approval, and even thought of communicating in private to elaborate.
Yinghu, who was the prime minister's confidant, was stunned into silence.
