Warring States Call

Chapter 1984: Chapter 94: Building the Great Wall
In August, it was hot weather right now. Zhou Tianzi thought about it, and in order to express his sincerity, he got off the carriage ten miles outside Chang'an City, holding bamboo slips in his hand, and under the protection of Han Sizhong, a general, he walked to the village on foot. Walking to Chang'an, the people along the way heard that Zhou Tianzi wanted to abdicate, and they all stopped and watched. Han Yi naturally heard the news, and he didn't dare to blame him immediately, and hurried out of Chang'an City. In this era of underdeveloped information, casually spread rumors and make trouble Han Yi's three-month hard work would be in vain. Han Yi's face was black and he looked a little embarrassed. He secretly called Han Sizhong to come, but he didn't stop Zhou Tianzi.

After leaving the palace gate, Gao Lishi came to the carriage that had already been prepared, and said, "Your Majesty, please get in the carriage!"

"Last fart!" Han Yi popped out these three words angrily, and then led the people to stride towards the outside of the city gate. After a while, Han Yi seemed to think of something, and looked at Gao Lishi behind him and said, "Go! Phoenix, bring me here!"

"No!" Gao Lishi responded immediately, and trotted over with a few young eunuchs. After a quarter of an hour, Gao Lishi ran over with Han Huang holding a rattle on his back. The Son of Heaven came to the city gate in person. He put down the brush in his hand and ran over right after Gao Lishi. Of course, Han Chen was not the only one who got the news. Han Feng, Han Ning, Han Ming, Han Wu and others also got the news. He came in response, only Han Cheyuan was in Chenggao, and he might not be able to catch up with this grand meeting.

"Father!" A few children rushed over and bowed to Han Yi. Han Yi looked at them, nodded for a while, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at Han Huang on Gao Lishi's back. Han Huang took it, patted his little head and said: "Come on! Go out of the city with grandpa! Okay!"

"Okay!" Han Huang's two small eyes smiled into a crescent shape. Han Feng and the others behind him shook their heads secretly. They knew that they were completely out of touch with the throne. Han Ming didn't care about it, Han Wu kept his expression on, and thought it was okay.

"Let's go!" Han Yi took Han Huang's little hand and walked towards the outside of Chang'an City. The black-armored soldiers on both sides stood on both sides and shouted angrily: "The king is traveling, and the people kneel!"

The bustling Ping'an Street fell silent instantly, and the people knelt on the ground one after another. Han Yi immediately stepped forward and said, "Quick!"

Han Yi and the others walked in a hurry, and Han Huang's two short legs walked and ran, and only then could he barely keep up with the pace of the crowd, which looked so funny.

Out of the city gate, Han Yi saw King Zhou Nan at a glance. Holding the bamboo slips in both hands, he walked slowly towards Han Yi's Chang'an City. The roads on the ground were all bluestones. Han Yi went up He stopped before and cupped his hands and said, "Han Yi, the king's minister, pays homage to the emperor!"

"We pay homage to the Son of Heaven!" Everyone bowed, including Han Yi and the people behind him, with respectful expressions.

"King Han is deeply respected and prestige. He is a model of King Wen and Wu of Zhou. After a hundred years of turmoil, I am not as good as I am. I am willing to abdicate to the virtuous. Now I have three resignations and three resignations. I hope that King Han will not refuse." King Zhou put down the bamboo slips and picked He put down the crown, took off the royal robe, and knelt down on the ground. When the surrounding people heard that Han Yi wanted to be the emperor, they all knelt down and said, "Please ascend the throne, King Han!"

Han Chen and the others kowtowed on the spot, and only Han Huang stood with Han Yi stupidly. Han Yi swept around, looked at King Zhou Nan in front of him, and then said, "The order of the Son of Heaven must not be disobeyed, but Today, the son gave up the throne, and I feel that I am not enough, but I let the people live on my own, I can't bear the people to be disturbed by the war, and now I am ashamed to ascend the throne. Consolation of heaven and earth with death! Heaven and earth learn from each other, and demons, gods, immortals and demons listen to it!"

Han Yi's voice spread throughout the land, and the people trembled when they heard it, bowing down and bowing their heads one after another. The king of Zhou gave a white coat, and personally put on the crown and robe for Han Yi.

Since then, King Zhou's 800-year foundation has come to an end. Han Yi stroked his beard, looked at King Zhou Nan, took a deep breath and said, "Ji Yan Dayi, the Duke of Zhou, is now named Duke Anle, and the land is awarded to Jingcheng in the Indochina Peninsula." , I wish Zhou Gong a happy old age!"

"My lord! Thank you, Son of Heaven!" Ji Yan lowered his head weakly. It is the last comfort for the last king like him to have a good death. After all, there are many last kings who are not as good as him.

Han Yi looked at Han Huang next to him, stroked his head, hugged him in his arms, and said to the people around him: "The order of the widow is passed on, and now he is on the throne, the tax will be halved for three years, and the people will celebrate it together! "

"Your Majesty is lenient! Your Majesty is lenient!" Seeing the good things they got, the common people knelt down and sang praises for Han Yi.

Han Yi looked around, glanced at Duke Zhou who was kneeling below, and said with a smile, "King Zhou! Come with me to the banquet!"

"Minister Zunzhi!" Ji Yan lowered his head weakly, and followed behind Han Yi obediently, not daring to breathe.

Han Huang looked at Wang Mian on top of Han Yi's head with a pair of black eyes, stretched out his hand to grab the Mian bead in front of Han Yi, and asked, "Grandpa! What is this!"

"This is Mian! Does it look good?" Han Yi was in a good mood today and teased the little guy.

Han Huang looked at the little bead in front of her, and said with a silly smile: "It looks good! Can I give it to Little Phoenix?"

When Han Chen heard this, he was startled, and immediately said with a dark face, "Huang'er, don't mess around!"

Han Huang was taught a lesson by Han Chen, so she could only lower her head angrily, Han Yi hugged Han Huang, laughed and said, "Okay! When you can take on the big responsibility, this crown will be yours sooner or later! "

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Han Huang clapped her hands happily, and then made a grimace at Han Chen, sticking out her pink tongue. Han Chen was also helpless, but Han Ning's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Is there a chance?

A banquet was held in the palace in honor of King Ji Yan of Zhou. Han Yi gave him three hundred beauties captured in Qin to make him enjoy his old age.

Right now, he is just accepting the position of Zen, and after that, he will be enshrined in Mount Tai. After some wine and meat, Duke Zhou was also taken down to rest. In order to avoid assassins and taint Han Yi's public voice, Han Yi directly ordered Tianji to send a large number of people to protect him. Ji Yan even dispatched three hundred wolf shadows to protect Ji Yan tightly.

Later, Han Yi pointed to the edict to abolish King Xi of Yan. Originally, the royal family of Yan Kingdom resisted extremely fiercely, but under the pressure of Wei Qing and Xu Shu Wenwu, these people were overwhelmed without causing much trouble. King Yan Xi was directly detained and transported to Chang'an to wait for Han Yi's whereabouts.

Of course, Han Yi did not treat him badly, and awarded his fief in a place in the south where birds don't shit. Now that the world is stable, it is not easy to massacre, and he must be kind to the world and stabilize the hearts of the people.

When Yan State was held down, Han Qi also submitted the ownership letter symbolically, and Wu State also officially fell into Han Yi's hands. Although it had already fallen into Han Yi's hands, it was not in name, but now it is Just tore off the last fig leaf.

Han Yi looked at the current domestic expenditures and frowned. Although the domestic tax revenue has increased in general, the expenditures are also not small, such as the maintenance of the army and the resettlement of the soldiers of the Qin Army. After all, they just surrendered , Different cultures in various places inevitably lead to various frictions. In order to eliminate this gap, Han Yi mixed the Zhenbei Army, Han Qinhu, and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, reorganized them, and kicked out the old, weak, and sick inside. Remnants, as well as soldiers who have not participated in the war, let them go home to work in agriculture. At the same time, domestic soldiers and horses are reorganized. While ensuring combat effectiveness, it also allows the people to obtain a large amount of labor. food production.

But how to say that, who would dislike the lack of money in their own family? With the increase in demand for salt, the salt farms have also increased a lot, as well as tea, and foreign trade, mainly in Jinyang, sending businessmen to the grasslands Buy cattle and sheep, and sell the tea and salt from the Central Plains to the grasslands in exchange for huge profits. At the same time, the domestic cattle are scarce. It was a money-losing project, but the merchant's taxation directly made up for this gap and made huge profits.

Seeing the prosperity of the country, Han Yi set his sights on the silk of the Shu Kingdom. After all, compared with linen and coarse cloth, silk is simply a sharp weapon. Han Yi is also able to understand the important relationship among them, and directly dispatched Fu Hao to take charge of the matter. , obtained silk in the Shu Kingdom, and expanded its production. Once the silk came out, it was directly snapped up by many ministers and prodigal wives. State-owned, businessmen chasing after the wind and profit, also began to develop the idea of ​​silk, and transported silk to foreign countries thousands of miles away.

With this huge profit and the addition of tea, Han Yi was like a fish in water in an instant. Taking advantage of this gap, Han Yi fiddled with porcelain again. After all, this thing was a huge profit in the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Han Yi naturally did not give up. Let the craftsmen keep researching and developing. Although the production process is very rough, the progress is very obvious. The new porcelains are immediately sold out, and Han Yi is also enjoying it.

The armor and weapons of the soldiers are constantly being developed and improved, and the management of the equipment is also constantly improving. Although you can’t be aggressive, you can’t put more emphasis on literature than military. Han Yi doesn’t want his future dynasty to be shrunk by the grassland. The Great Wall, dare not go north, this is not what Han Yi wants to see.

The lights in the study kept changing, Han Yi rubbed his head, but still fell asleep drowsily.

But the north is not stable. With the influx of tea, salt, and silk, the grassland suddenly realizes the horror of the Central Plains' prosperity.

Li Shimin is also starting to feel restless at this moment. After five or six years of cultivation, he has made him ambitious. Looking at the tea in front of him, Li Shimin only feels that he can’t taste it. Although the population of the country has increased greatly, many people will starve to death every year. Yu froze to death, after all, it was too cold here, and his colleague Li Shimin also knew about the prosperity of the Central Plains, and couldn't help but salivate.

Of course, Li Shimin didn't dare to take it lightly. He looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, glanced at his eldest grandson Wuji and said for a while, "Wuji! What do you think!"

"In order to appease the people right now! The army has been expanding its recruitment! But the army food has always been a problem. We can't raise so many soldiers. The current plan is to unite with Nurhachi and attack the Central Plains. Although it can't be wiped out in one fell swoop, the plundered Wealth can make the people have a good year." Changsun Wuji, with a dignified face, shivered when the cold wind blew. Since Li Shimin came to power, the country has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes. The original thatched house has become the current stone house. , But once the winter comes, countless people will starve to death and freeze to death.

"I'll leave this matter to you! Take a trip to the grassland instead of me!" Li Shimin sighed and said solemnly.

"Understood" Changsun Wuji had no choice but to lead the team directly to the grassland.

At the same time, Genghis Khan couldn't stand it anymore. The temperature difference between day and night in the grassland is huge. Salivating.

Finally, the battle situation comparable to the last grassland war was finally about to break out. The envoys sent by Li Shimin arrived at the grassland in Nurhachi. They mingled together and assembled 20 horseshoes, and [-] slaves were going to go south here.

After Han Yi unified the Central Plains, he naturally began to prepare for the subsequent battles. After all, the neighbors of the grassland were not very friendly. Han Yi also began to actively build the Great Wall, connecting the Great Wall of Yan and the Great Wall of Zhao State. Of course, this magnificent piece Construction is also a waste of money.

Calculating carefully, Yingzheng spent 200 million people building it for ten years, while Han Yi only gathered 60 prisoners to build it. The gap is naturally conceivable. If you calculate it carefully, it will take about 40 people to build it. time of year.

Han Yi also had a headache because of this, so he simply had Luban disciples to help, which made the construction period much faster, but as the people's lives got better and better, the probability of committing crimes became lower and lower, and the prisoners were released after serving their sentences. It can be said that there are fewer and fewer ten thousand people, and Han Yi is also troubled by this. The helpless Han Yi finally decided to recruit workers and let them build the Great Wall when the people are slack. It's not that Han Yi is stingy, but the country doesn't have that much budget for two full meals and a daily salary of five copper coins.

Of course, the common people don’t care about how much money they have. What they really care about is taking care of food. After all, there is no work during the slack season, and Han Yi takes care of the food and pays back the money. The speed of the Great Wall is much faster, and the Great Wall has gradually taken shape. I thought that such a comfortable life would continue, but there are always people who are restless, or launching infinite wars for limited benefits.
