Han Shizu

Chapter 1797 Blood-sucking Auction
In the Han court, some things were extremely inefficient and could take several months just to discuss them, but some things were always carried out vigorously and vigorously. All difficulties and obstacles were not a problem in the end. The key was whether or not Emperor Liu participated. , How big is the determination.

What Emperor Liu and his son talked about at night were quickly reflected in the executive level of the center.On the next day, after Liu Min just woke up from a hangover, he received a report from his confidant officials that the imperial court had issued an imperial edict.

Because it was in Ding Wei Day, it was named "Ding Wei Zhao".The imperial edict is basically in accordance with what Emperor Liu and his son discussed, there is not much difference, and it fully reflects the will of Emperor Liu.

Anxi is divided into two, but it is not bounded by Qiuci mentioned by Liu Min, but by the Tianshan Mountains. The north belongs to Anxi, and the south belongs to the newly established Gaochang Road.

Gaochang Dao, as its name suggests, basically included the territory of the original Gaochang Uighurs, and even expanded westward, including the vast area south of the Tianshan Mountains, including a rich place like Shule.Even though Gaochang was the leading city in the Western Regions, the seat of the new Gaochang Dao was moved westward to Yanqi City, with the effect of ruling the four directions by living there.

As for the new Anxi Governor's Mansion, it was built on the land of the original Black Khan, and most of the areas north of the Tianshan Mountains were under its rule. With Suiye as the political and military center, it was also the traditional "Anxi".In the words of Emperor Liu, in this way, the Anxi Governor's Mansion will be more streamlined, allowing Liu Min to unload the "burden" of Gaochang Dao, concentrate on development and development.

As for the series of political, military, and economic support for Anxi, it is also clearly stipulated in Ding Weizhao, and that trust and sustenance are also fully reflected. support.

The east and the west, the two governor's mansions, the two princes, and the two princes can be regarded as the biggest effort made by Emperor Liu to consolidate the defense of the Great Han.With the release of Ding Weizhao, the months-long discussion on Anxi had finally come to an end, and the dust was settled, even if some people still hesitated, they did not dare to talk anymore.

Immediately afterwards, news spread that Emperor Liu demolished the "Dragon Boat" and "Phoenix Hall" and sold them to raise funds in order to support the needs of immigrants.This incident also attracted the attention of the government and the public. Regarding Emperor Liu's actions, the ministers also had mixed reactions. Some were amazed, while others were greatly embarrassed. The reason for the embarrassment was simple. His Majesty even took out his own boat. , How can they not express anything.

So, after only two days of preparation, a special auction was launched in Luoyang government office. To put it bluntly speaking, this was another money-raising activity, but it also caused a sensation in Luoyang.

On the day of the auction, the upper class dignitaries and social celebrities in Xijing gathered in the Luoyang government office to actively bid for the auction.The reason for this effect is that it is one thing to please Emperor Liu through bidding, and another is to watch the excitement. After all, Emperor Liu sold the royal things. .

The more positive ones are those "ordinary" merchants. For them, being able to get an invitation card and participate in such a grand event is also a manifestation of their status, which is nothing more than decent.

In the past 20 years of economic prosperity in the Han Dynasty, a large number of wealthy businessmen have emerged in the country. Under the social environment of the rapid development of the commodity economy, it cannot be contained by the imperial court by cutting a few crops of leeks.

But at the same time, due to the concept of national conditions, the wealth has increased, but the social status has not improved correspondingly, or the improvement has not been obvious. For many merchants, how to obtain a higher social status is also their active pursuit after they have successfully made money. obtained.

Some people choose the traditional way of purchasing land, stepping into the landlord class, cultivating children, and becoming officials by reference. Appreciate and support, so as to cross class restrictions.

And the circle of the rich and powerful, how can ordinary people break into it? Most of the time, if you want to be a cow or a horse, you don't have the qualifications.The auction held in Luoyang Mansion is undoubtedly what most merchants are looking forward to. It is a rare opportunity to pay a deposit of [-] yuan, buy a ticket for the meeting, and buy a chance to communicate directly with the dignitaries. It's so worth it.

The progress of the auction was indeed beyond the expectations of many people. Whether it was the two Yamen of the Shaofu and Luoyang Prefectures in charge of the auction, or the dignitaries, they seemed to have underestimated the enthusiasm of these merchants.

At the auction, they were the ones with the highest bids and the most ruthless bids. An ordinary Dongzhu worth two hundred guan could fetch ten times the price. Wan Guan.And "Dragon Boat" and "Phoenix Hall" are decorated with thousands of pearls of various kinds.

Not to mention other things, but for those merchants, they showed their strength and financial resources to their heart's content without any scruples. On such occasions, it seemed that money was worthless.

Items may not be worth that price, but to ask those who bid, there is only one word, value.Opportunities, influences, and these things are not mentioned, just focus on the four words "things for the imperial use", and they are worth it.

Those "low businessmen" are working so hard, how can the dignitaries attending the meeting be willing to be second to others, otherwise, if they spread it out, where to put their face, and spread it to the emperor's ears, wouldn't it make him think that they enjoy these things? Those who are blessed by the state's salary are not as active as a businessman.

And after three full days of fiery auctions, all of the more than [-] lots were sold, and the money obtained through statistics is enough to shock everyone's attention, a total of more than [-] million coins.

When this number reached the ears of Emperor Liu, Emperor Liu was shocked, and even repeatedly confirmed it to Lu Mengzheng and others.After getting an affirmative answer, Fang just sighed: "Are these people crazy or stupid? Although I don't know the actual value of those things, the premium is indeed too high, terrifyingly high! However, it can be seen , the big man has indeed enriched a large number of people, this is also a manifestation of national strength!"

This matter made Emperor Liu really want to hold more auctions like this, but he quickly restrained himself.You still need to pay attention to this kind of eating. It is difficult to replicate such a grand occasion. The enthusiasm of those people has been consumed almost this time. Small-scale ones are fine. Tens of thousands of pieces at a time, no one can handle it, blood-sucking It doesn't suck like that either.

Of course, such a large-than-expected income was beyond the expectations of many people. After the news spread, even the Financial Secretary had the idea of ​​​​the money and wanted to borrow it.However, Emperor Liu had something to say first, that this was a special fund for the development of Han immigrants, so Emperor Liu very simply blocked it back.

After the auction was over, the issue of payment followed, which was very humane in this respect, and a full [-] days were given.Of course, there is no question of whether it can be collected at all. This is the most authoritative "judicial auction" of the big man. Tianwei.

And this sum of money, Emperor Liu has also allocated it well, Anxi has it, Anton will not be left behind, and there are even other directions, and it is not all at once.With such a sum of money, at least in the next ten years, in terms of immigration development, the imperial court will be able to spend more easily, and the resistance will be less.
