"Liu Xu and his party have already set off for the north!" Emperor Liu mentioned another matter.

Upon hearing the question, Liu Yang replied calmly: "Yes! After saying goodbye to Dad yesterday, I was already on my way. I sent my tenth brother to see me off on my behalf."

"Let's go!" Emperor Liu sighed softly, with a slightly complicated tone: "I don't know how long it will be until I see you again."

"Since father is reluctant to let go, why don't you stay with elder brother and them for a while longer." Liu Yang asked.

Emperor Liu shook his head: "He is 35 years old, not three or five years old, so why not bear it!"

As the eldest son of Emperor Liu, Qin Wang Liuxu was born in the second year of Qianyou. This year, he is already 35 years old, and he celebrated his birthday in Tokyo. He called his friends and held a rather grand banquet.

That's what he said, but Liu Yang could hear some insincere words from Emperor Liu's tone. No matter what, Emperor Liu had some special feelings for his first son, plus he felt indebted to his mother, Concubine Gengchen. , the feelings are more complicated.

"It's been almost half a year since returning to Beijing. How can he, the governor of Anton, leave his post for a long time!" Emperor Liu said again, and then with a smile on his lips, he said, "Little lady of Liu Guangyi's family, I heard your mother mention However, gentle and virtuous, well-educated, a good match, that boy Wen Yuan is also a good fortune!"

"Yes!" Liu Yang responded: "A son of the Tian family and a lady of a famous family are indeed a good match."

Just in April of this year, Prince Qin's son Liu Wenyuan married Haining Marquis Liu Guangyi's daughter. This was the first marriage of the emperor's grandson, which was very meaningful and attracted the attention of the government and the public. Emperor Liu was also very happy about this, and Empress Fu came to the scene in person.

"In a flash, my grandchildren are all married. Time flies."

Liu Yang was dealing with Emperor Liu, but he couldn't help thinking about it. There were so many emotions in Emperor Liu's mouth, and every sentence was inseparable from Liu Xu's family. What exactly did he want to say?
After pondering for a while, Emperor Liu suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Yang: "To Anton"

Emperor Liu looked hesitant to speak, but he held back, hesitated, and said, "How many immigrants have been recruited by Anton to take advantage of the turmoil in Yulin this time?"

Liu Yang's eyelids drooped slightly, and he reported: "There are about [-] people. The first batch has already arrived in Anton, and the last batch is still in the pass. For these people, Yulin that There is some resentment at the side, Zhang Qixian also submitted a form before, hoping to return the remaining unrelocated population to Yulin."

Hearing this, Emperor Liu smiled: "It seems that Zhang Qixian is really in a hurry! But you can coordinate these matters! Each has its own difficulties, how to balance it depends on your means!"

"Yes!"

"It's been almost a year since your uncle and the others went to Nanyang!" Emperor Liu thought of Yong Wang Liu Chengxun and his party who went to Hainan for a tour on behalf of heaven, and said: "It's been so long, I don't know what's going on. And Liu Yun With Wenhai, the climate in Nanyang is hot and humid, the conditions are harsh and dangerous, and there are many diseases.

Liu Yang said: "According to the Nanyang report received last month, the emperor is currently in the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom, and they have already visited the main strongholds in Nanyang, Chenla, Bagan, Three Buddhas Qi, Gulin, Japo All the nations have visited and all is well.

On the other hand, the fifth younger brother is going west with the Nanyang Navy, and is going to the Western Great Food Sea to visit the countries of the Great Food. At present, we don't know what the situation is like! "

"Liu Yun is quite courageous! He is not afraid of the huge waves of the sea. It's not worth running to Nanyang, but he wants to go further?" Emperor Liu's eyes lighted up, and he ordered: "There is news about them. Report me immediately!"

"Yes!"

Ever since Guo Liangping was ordered to form a cross-sea fleet, expand westward, and return after visiting the Persian region, his desire to explore westward has become even stronger.

After a small-scale battle with the Three Buddhas, conquering the Three Buddhas, deterring the Southeast Asian countries, and consolidating the transcendent status of the great Han, Guo Liangping was ready to start a second westward voyage.

And taking advantage of King Yong's southern tour, in the spring of this year, Guo Liangping once again asked the fleet to go west, and the court approved it.This time the scale is not as large as the previous one, but there are more than [-] warships and merchant ships, and the target is farther away.

According to Guo Liangping's plan, he would go to Africa, even explore the legendary "Western Great Sea of ​​Food", and get in touch with the countries of Great Food.In fact, with the exploration of the west by the big man in these years, his understanding of the west is not as chaotic as before. At least he knows that the west of Tianzhu is not all the big food.

In the previous cognition, the Great Food included the whole of Europe, and the so-called Western Great Food Sea refers to the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and Guo Liangping plans to go to the Atlantic Ocean to have a look. Obviously, it is unlikely.

However, on the basis of the previous time, it is still possible to explore further westward.As for the harvest, it depends on the result.

"This overseas exploration takes years at every turn, and there are many crises at sea. It is difficult for non-warriors to overcome!" Emperor Liu said with emotion, "Guo Liangping and the others should support their exploration of the West, but the imperial court's overseas operations are currently focused. It has to be placed in Nanyang. This god-given man may not be obvious at the moment, but after a hundred years, it may be a treasure land for the imperial court to release floods and relieve difficulties!"

"Yes!" Liu Yang nodded.

For this point, Liu Yang still agrees, and has discussed with Emperor Liu more, and can keep up with Emperor Liu's thinking.And, has seen his bright prospects.

At least, in these years, the continuous rise of overseas trade has brought huge benefits to the court and the people, and at the same time, internal conflicts have also been greatly alleviated.

A large number of poor coastal people are eager to go out to sea, especially in areas as mountainous as Hokkien Road, where the spirit of adventure is even more passionate.Many people, who were poor and poor for three generations before going to sea, have spent three or two years in business, and after returning to China, they often have enough money to become country gentry.

Although in fact, going to sea does not mean getting rich, many people died at sea, or died of pirate attacks, or died of illness, or lost their lives in conflicts with indigenous people.

However, regardless of official propaganda or folk word of mouth, Nanyang is a treasure land, full of wealth, silver hanging on the trees, and gold flowing in the rivers.

As far as the court is concerned, it is necessary to use such propaganda methods to relieve the pressure in the country, and the merchants and people who have benefited from the sea also need to use this to attract people, increase their strength, and work together.

Going to Nanyang, you can't do it without a group, and if you don't talk about it in an exaggerated and mysterious way, you can't achieve the purpose of attracting people.And for ordinary people in China, for those who want to make a fortune, they can actually see those who got rich by going to Nanyang, those people and things are real, and they can't deceive people, so As far as they are concerned, if farming in the country is hard, or if they cannot survive, there is an alternative way out, and they still get the support of the government.This is enough.

Although it is just such an inconspicuous choice, in a big sense, it can enhance the country's fortune and continue the country's fortune.At least Emperor Liu thought so. Since the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, no dynasty could have a national fortune of 300 years. Emperor Liu did not expect his Han Empire to last forever. 100 years, isn't it impossible?
