Destiny Only Han

"Then what are your Majesty's plans?"

After Ren Ao finished speaking, he stared at Liu Ying with bright eyes.

The same goes for Fan Kuai and others around him.

Liu Ying said with a smile: "It is not difficult to destroy the country, but how to govern it is difficult. Have you ever thought about how to govern the homeland of Xunjia after the country is destroyed?"

Ren Ao and others shook their heads.

Guan Ying said: "In my humble opinion, it is better to move the Han people into harm's way and use the Han people to control the native people, just like what happened in the Jiangnan, Southwest and Rinan governorates."

Well, he was talking about the large-scale development of the South and other places in the past.

Especially the Nichinan Protectorate.

At that time, Liu Xin led his troops to the Indochina Peninsula and joined forces with some local indigenous tribes who had defected to the Han Dynasty. They arrested local indigenous people as slaves.

In the words of Our Lady, the bones of the native barbarians turned into white rice that the Han people could not finish eating!
Therefore, Guan Ying's words seemed to open up the thinking of Ren Ao, Fan Kuai and others. They all repeated the previous policies, such as restarting the ministerial system, exempting residents from head tax, and allowing each household to own a thousand acres of tax-free land. Etc., etc.

Liu Ying shook her head and asked, "Do you know how many people there are in Sunga country?"

Guan Ying was a little confused.

Liu Ying said seriously:
"Although I don't know, I can judge from the food shipped from there every year. It is said that Shendu Continent has more than [-] million household registrations. Considering that the Xunjia Kingdom does not completely occupy the entire continent, but only half of the northern half."

"Therefore, I feel that 500 million yuan is more than enough!"

"If we include the population growth caused by the introduction of iron tools and advanced farming technology during the years of trade between Xunjia and Han, I'm afraid the total population there has approached 1000 million!"

"After all, rice crops there three times a year. If it weren't for the frequent wars, the population would have exploded at a rate as fast as that of a big man!"

……

Ren Ao was overjoyed.

The same is true for Zhou Boxia and Hou Ying.

For landed aristocrats like them, population is a more valuable asset than land!

Especially after the Han Dynasty abolished the vassal system, the cost of operating farms and pastures in the country skyrocketed!

Therefore, if the Sunga Kingdom can be conquered, even if it does not rob good people, but only destroys the ruling class of the Sunga Kingdom, hundreds of thousands of cheap labor can be easily obtained!
Ren Ao looked around and calculated secretly. With his qualifications and connections, he should be able to get 1 people!

Thinking of this, he looked at Liu Ying happily.

Liu Ying looked around and started to say 'but'.

"That monarch was newly established, and although the ceremonial letter he wrote was rude, it was for the benefit of the other country. If the Han Dynasty used this as a reason to go to war against it, it would inevitably make them share the same hatred and fight against the Han!"

"Although he is a relatively big man, that kind of resistance is undoubtedly like a mantis trying to defeat a chariot."

"But violence cannot solve all problems."

"Isn't it possible that Qin Jian is in trouble? But one man is in trouble and seven temples are destroyed!"

"Besides, the six countries are of the same race, but the Han people and the Sunga people are not of the same race, and their languages ​​​​are not quite the same!"

"If violence is pursued blindly, it will inevitably trigger civil unrest. Unless everyone is killed, how will the Han people gain a foothold in the area?"

“But if that’s the case, what’s the use of the land we worked so hard to acquire?”

When Liu Ying said this, she waved her hands and said without refusal: "So, we need to wait for an opportunity!"

Fan Kuai looked sideways and asked, "I wonder what the opportunity is?"

"religion."

Liu Yingyun said two words calmly.

Fan Kuai frowned: "Religion?"

Liu Ying nodded lightly: "Thanks to my cousin Fan and his wife, Marquis Wuyang's beloved son, for this matter."

Fan Kuai was stunned.

Ren Ao and others thought for a moment and then laughed.

After all, they had all seen Mr. and Mrs. Fan shave his head and bow to everyone he saw!
But within seconds, their smiles grew smaller and smaller.

This is not because Fan Kuai's face looks like pig liver.

What is important is that New Buddhism not only expanded rapidly overseas, but also spread from ten to ten in Han Dynasty!
What's more, in many remote areas where there are no cement roads, Buddhist temples enshrining the 'Han Emperor Buddha' have appeared!
Fan Kuai and Lu Tai's nonsense back then has now formed a decisive force in the Han Dynasty!

Of course, the rapid expansion of New Buddhism in Han Dynasty was mainly due to their payment of tithe tax, that is, they divided the incense money received into ten parts, nine parts were handed over to the emperor's private money, and the remaining part was used for For the maintenance of the Buddhist temple and the expenses of the monks.

On the other hand, there is no concept of "monasticism" in New Buddhism. Monks are not allowed to drink and eat. They spend the day in the temple giving lectures and praying for believers, and at night they go home and sleep with their wives in their arms, trying to make a living by inheriting the promising career of a monk. Working hard for a professional little guy...

Shiqing Shilu.

When the laughter subsided, Liu Ying continued: "The new Sunga King is the same as the previous Sunga King. He believes in Brahmanism and suppresses Buddhism. Although the new Buddhism has the support of the Han Dynasty, they are helpless for a while."

"But as the number of followers of New Buddhism increases, Brahmanism will definitely not be able to sit still."

"At that time, the two religions will transform from the current literary struggle, that is, mutual debate, and the winner cuts out the loser's tongue, to a military struggle, that is, the believers of the two religions hold large blades and cut each other's heads..."

"But martial arts fighting is no better than literary fighting. Brahmanism is supported by King Sunga. In other words, the Kshatriyas in that country, that is, the group of warriors, are all Brahmans. The new Buddhism will naturally be defeated in one battle."

"so……"

Guan Ying nodded lightly: "I understand. At that time, our Han army can send troops to Xunjia on the grounds that we can protect the religious people. In this way, those believers of the new Buddhism who have been suppressed will definitely eat pots of wine to welcome the heavenly soldiers!"

Fan Kuai and others thought for a moment, then loudly flattered Liu Ying.

"Your Majesty is indeed wise!"

"Your Majesty is so wise!"

……

You are wise, and your whole family is wise... Liu Ying looked at Chen Bi, speechless.

This man was from Dang County and an orphan. When Liu Bang went west to conquer Qin, he shamelessly followed the army to earn a living. He was treated as a "serviceman" and stayed by Liu Bang's side. Later, he worked under Chen Ping for a period of time. He was responsible for leading a team to the Chu camp to buy Chu generals, spreading rumors, and driving a wedge between Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng.

Then Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng had a falling out, and Fan Zeng went to live in seclusion in the mountains in anger. This is what Liu Bang said, "Xiang Yu has Fan Zeng but can't use it."

Therefore, Chen Bi was given the title of Marquis of Boyang.

Well, when Chen Bi first joined the Han army, he was about the same age as Liu Fei. It can be said that he was the youngest among the group of heroes in the early Han Dynasty.

Liu Ying looked at Chen Bi and silently remembered him in her heart.

This group of generals are making a fuss here just to share the cake, and Xunjia is different from the previous Egypt. In the era when the Han Dynasty was flying and cutting ships, starting from Nanhai County, if the wind goes smoothly, there will not be many ports in the middle, and it will take more than ten days at most. almost there.

Therefore, Zhou Yafu cannot monopolize the power of destroying a country like Dou Guangguo did!

Liu Ying was looking at Chen Bi at the moment, wondering whether to let the pie hit this guy's face...

After all, he is the youngest among the generals. After a lot of experience, he will be able to grow old with Guan Ying, Zhou Bo and others, while Zhou Yafu has not yet reached his peak and has become the mainstay of the Han Dynasty.

But Chen Bi didn't know anything about it. He was stunned, a little confused.

Well, he was praising Liu Ying from the bottom of his heart...

Looking at Liu Ying's eyes at this moment, he inexplicably felt a little hairy on the back of his spine, as if there was a bug crawling down from the back of his head, slippery and sticky, all the way to the tailbone...

"Okay, let's all back down!"

Liu Ying waved her hand.

Chen Bian seemed to have been granted amnesty, turned around and left quickly.

Fan Kuai and others also understood what Liu Ying was thinking, and continued to cultivate the land with satisfaction, while not forgetting to figure out how to benefit from this expedition.

They had already inquired about it, and found that the wealth concentration of the Sunga Kingdom was even greater than that of the Qin Kingdom. All social wealth was concentrated in the hands of the Brahmins and Kshatriyas in the country!
The goal is extremely clear when fighting, and you can become a fat man in one bite!

Therefore, a war must begin!
Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, Xia Houying and others looked at each other and saw the same thoughts in each other's eyes.

Since Liu Ying said that she would wait until the two religions fight before intervening, then instead of waiting for the situation to change, it is better to take the initiative!
For example, send assassins to kill several influential local high-level figures from New Buddhism and Brahmanism, and then leave a letter saying that it was the other sect that did it!
Although this behavior is very despicable.

But for the two religions, which have been at war with each other for a long time, they only need one reason to start a war!
Even this reason cannot fool even a three-year-old child!
Zhou Bo nodded invisibly.

Compared with Fan Kuai, Xia Houying and others, he is more capable of handling this matter.

After all, Zhou Yafu is currently serving as the Protectorate of the Mengzhou Protectorate, and he has many manpower that can carry out such an assassination!
So, he summoned a close entourage, who immediately began to murmur.

..............................

Next to Ji Tian.

Liu Ying took two steps with her hands behind her back, turned around and looked at Han Xin who was following suit: "Why are you still here? The land is finished plowing?"

Han Xin shook his head.

Liu Ying frowned and said, "Then you are not afraid of being impeached by the censor?"

Han Xin looked unconcerned: "If you have too many lice, you won't be itchy. If you have too many debts, you won't have to worry. If they want to impeach you, let them impeach you!"

Liu Ying was confused.

Han Xin smiled without saying a word.

He is not actually a complete political idiot.

Well, okay, that's it.

As a person who grew up under the influence of Spring and Autumn culture, Han Xin naturally has a following.

His staff had told him before that in today's big Han Dynasty, only Liu Ying could control his life and death. As long as Liu Ying did not let him die, even if everyone in the country was said to be killable, he could still live!
And proper self-defilement can also increase his chance of survival!

After a while, Han Xin asked with a smile: "Why do I feel that your Majesty is a little different today than usual?"

Liu Ying looked sideways and asked: "How can you see it?"

Han Xin shook his head: "I don't know, it's just a feeling. If in the past, your Majesty would still provoke disputes when the two countries were in peace, but now they have sent all the reasons for the war to your Majesty, but your Majesty..."

He originally wanted to say 'coward', but thinking about his wife's advice, he swallowed the words he blurted out.

Liu Ying sighed slightly: "Maybe I really haven't figured out what to do yet."

"It's a simple matter. If you don't accept it, kill it." Han Xin was very confident: "The barbarians are fierce and cruel. If you can't make them obey by killing 1 people, then kill 10 people or 100 million people!"

"The big deal is, kill them all. Just to free up the cage for birds, wouldn't it be enough to migrate more Han people?" He knew that there was nothing to talk about with this kind of violent murderer... Liu Ying looked confused and asked: "So, where? It's free, would you like to go?"

Han Xin shook his head: "I heard that that damn place is very hot! I won't go!"

Liu Ying stared and asked, "Then who should I let go?"

Han Xin thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "Didn't you say that the laws and regulations are being re-revised recently? Just in time, restore more laws of the Qin Dynasty, so that there will be more criminals, and then they will be exiled to the body poison!"

"Well, hasn't His Majesty done this before?"

"That is to exile the prisoners to..."

"By the way, Tiannanzhou!"

After he finished speaking, his face was full of 'I'm so witty' expression.

Liu Ying was noncommittal: "It makes sense. Well, has the latest version of the "Infantry Drill Code" been compiled?"

Han Xin shook his head: "Not yet."

Liu Ying smiled and said: "In that case, you should pay more attention..."

Han Xin nodded and suddenly asked: "Weren't we talking about the Sunda Kingdom before? Why are we talking about the "Infantry Drill Code" again? "

Because Nai Gong doesn't want to talk to you anymore... Liu Ying looked at Han Xin with the look of a cute little girl: "Because the "Infantry Drill Code" is also an important matter for the country!"

"Okay, I will do this as soon as possible!" Han Xin agreed with his face, but asked reluctantly: "But if your Majesty thinks about the method I just said, I think it is really good!"

Not a bad bird... Liu Ying nodded: "It is indeed very good. The last person who thought so was called Qin Er..."

The sweat on Han Xin's head suddenly broke out.

He stammered: "No! I, I really have no other ideas..."

There is a kind of political correctness in Han Dynasty called "violating Qin".

Well, although the method of the Han State to blackmail the Qin State was to record what Qin Shihuang and Qin II had done and tell everyone...

Liu Ying smiled and said:

"I don't have any other ideas."

"I just feel that the method you mentioned won't work at all!"

"Whether it's tightening the laws or banishing the people to death..."

Han Xin frowned, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please teach me."

Liu Ying nodded: "Since you asked the question sincerely, I will tell you mercifully..."

Han Xin was confused.

But at this moment, the tight strings in his heart relaxed.

He is a political idiot, but he is not stupid. Naturally, he heard Liu Ying's tone and had no intention of blaming him.

"Before, whether it was the development of Jiangnan and Lingnan, or the exile of prisoners to Tiannan Prefecture, the proportion of Han people there was at least the same as that of the local indigenous people. Then the ratio of Han people there increased and decreased, and eventually it became an inseparable part of the Han Dynasty!"

"But the physical poison is different."

"The weather there is hot, rice is harvested three times a year, and the population growth rate is not inferior to that of the Han people. Plus, with a strong foundation, if you kill 1 people a day, it will take hundreds of years to kill all the local natives!"

Han Xin thought for a moment and nodded silently.

This is similar to how Qin destroyed the six kingdoms. Qin also wanted to kill all the old and young of the royal families of the six kingdoms, but it couldn't do it.

It’s not that you don’t want to, it’s that you really can’t!
Liu Ying then said: "Let's talk about letting the prisoners immigrate."

"Again, according to the local population, the Han people must immigrate at least one million people to Shendu every year. Only in this way can the number of Han people exceed the number of local natives like Tiannan Prefecture!"

"But, is this realistic?"

Han Xin shook his head gently.

Although Guanzhong is overcrowded today, this is a special case.

After all, Chang'an City was the capital of the Han Dynasty, so it would naturally absorb the entire Han population, especially the wealthy.

The more wealthy people there are, the more employment opportunities there will be, which will naturally attract more people to come to Guanzhong to work.

But in other areas of the Han Kingdom, such as the three counties of Liaodong, West Liaoning and South Liaoning, as well as the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in Lujiang and Qianzhong, despite so many years of vigorous development, they are still vast and sparsely populated, far less populated than the Central Plains. dense.

Therefore, the Han people can't even fill the country's population, and if there are people who go to Southeast Asia, travel to the Western Regions, and go to the East China Sea to make a living, how can there be millions of extra people who immigrate to Shendu every year?

Han Xin was thinking about it, and when he looked at Cao Shen in the distance, his face was full of sarcasm.

When Cao Shen suggested to Liu Bang to suspend the national policy of encouraging childbirth, he was right next to him!
At that time, he was a little confused, especially when Liu Ying ordered to temporarily deprive Cao Shen of his auxiliary power, he felt sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead.

Now it seems that Cao Shen is indeed short-sighted!
Han Xin put away his gloating smile and asked: "In this case, I think it is better to endure it. Ignore the provocation of King Xunjia for the time being, and wait for the population in the country to increase in a few years, and then pacify the country of Xunjia!"

Liu Ying was silent.

After a long time, he asked again: "Have you finished compiling the "Infantry Drill Code"?"

Han Xin's eyes widened and he froze.

At this moment, even the idiot he was understood it.

He said with a sense of grievance: "Your Majesty, what did I say wrong again?"

Liu Ying raised her head, laughed a few times, and replied: "If you don't take what God has given you, you will suffer from it instead."

"Since King Xunjia is so desperate for death, if we don't deal with him and seize his kingdom, won't it make the world think that I am a big man who is weak and can be bullied?"

"Be aware that force is better than hard work!"

"Strength is better than hard work?" Han Xin lowered his head and pondered.

Liu Ying smiled and said nothing.

This sentence is not only the Ironmen's national language, but also the true meaning of fighting to support war.

By overpowering the other party and taking over the other party's domain interests as your own, you will also take over the future interests as your own. This is much faster than accumulating self-development on foot!

Han Xin raised his hands and bowed: "I would like to be taught."

Although he still didn't understand it, it wasn't important. What was important was that this sentence sounded ridiculous, so he wanted to write it in his diary!

To be precise, it is an autobiography.

Nowadays, the publishing industry in the Han Dynasty is developed, but I don’t know since when, the big guys in the DPRK and China like to write memoirs or autobiographies, especially those ignorant heroes who have no education, and they like to brag about themselves. …

For example, Fan Kuai boasted about his ability in literature and martial arts...

But Fan Kuai's autobiography has very few buyers. What is popular in Chang'an is "Mein Kampf"...

Although the author of that book is anonymous like the authors of many other books that made Changan's paper expensive in the past, how can the many secrets in it be hidden from those who have experienced it such as Han Xin?
Everyone has no idea about this, it's just a tacit understanding, they don't want to, and don't dare to expose a certain Han emperor who doesn't want to be named...

Therefore, Han Xin also wants to write his own memoirs!
Of course, Anonymous.

After all, in his memoirs, he will devote a lot of space to connoting a certain bearded man!
Liu Ying grinned and was about to say something when she suddenly saw the angry Censor Zhongcheng Zhou Chang coming from behind Han Xin.

He poked Han Xin with his hand: "If I were you, I would have run away by now!"

Han Xin followed his gaze and looked over. After a second, he bowed his hands, turned around and ran away.

After all, the person coming was Zhou Chang.

That guy belongs to the stone in the latrine, smelly and hard, and he doesn't care at all about the other person's identity when he fights with someone...

Historically, he compared Liu Bang to Jie and Zhou...

Liu Ying stood there, waiting for Zhou Chang to come over with his sleeves waving, and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Huaiyin and I were just discussing state affairs..."

Zhou Chang was stunned and stuttered: "Huh? The one who left just now was Taiwei Huaiyinhou?"

After saying that, his face became even more angry.

After all, his elder brother is Zhou Ke, the imperial censor, and he is the third prince like the Taiwei. Although Zhou Ke is old, Han Xin is also over fifty, and his brother is still plowing the fields. It makes no sense that Han Xin has finished his work. !
So, Han, you asked for it... Zhou Chang took the charcoal from his hat and wrote it down in a notebook.

In his opinion, etiquette cannot be discarded, and today he is plowing the land himself. This is particularly important for a country that is based on agriculture. Even if the sky falls, the land must be plowed first!

Besides, he and Liu Ying had been together for many years, how could he not hear Liu Ying's lying tone?

Liu Ying was confused.

He forgot one very important thing. That guy Zhou Chang is short-sighted, and he is not wearing glasses at the moment!
Therefore, Zhou Chang did not actually see Han Xin fishing...

No matter, it was Han Xin who said that the lice didn't itch after having too many lice...Liu Ying felt at ease and forgave herself.

After a while, Liu Ying asked curiously: "Where did Zhong Cheng's glasses go?"

Zhou Chang had a dark face and said in a sullen voice: "The prince and King Huai (Liu Wu) took away my glasses! I just said a few words that the prince should be careful in his words and deeds, and should be steady when walking, and don't jump around." , and then the glasses disappeared..."

Liu Ying also had a dark face.

At this moment, he finally knew what it felt like to be called a parent...

He rolled up his sleeves and nodded: "Zhongcheng, don't move here. I'll come back as soon as I go!"

Well, you naughty kid, of course you have to be beaten, hard!

But Zhou Chang stopped him and asked in a deep voice: "Is your Majesty going to punish the Crown Prince and King Huai?"

Liu Ying nodded: "Otherwise? You were so naughty when you were young, how can you be okay when you grow up? You must know that one of them is the prince, the future emperor, and the other is the king, who has to govern the fiefdom and protect the people!"

“If you don’t teach me now, when will you wait?”

Zhou Chang said with disapproval:
"It is natural for children to be naughty and disobedient to discipline. When they grow up, they will become sensible. There is no need to beat, scold and punish..."

"Besides, Your Majesty was also very naughty when he was young. The Supreme Emperor did not use sticks and sticks on Your Majesty. Hasn't Your Majesty now become a wise master?"

I finally know what a double-standard dog is!Back when this guy was in charge of my family, he often went to Lao Liu to report me!Still haven’t added up the sticks?If I hadn't had a pair of old Liu's treasures, he would have broken his legs long ago... Liu Ying stared: "Isn't it possible that Zhong Cheng came to complain to me?"

Zhou Chang smiled: "How can my belly be so small?"

After he finished speaking, he said seriously: "I am here to advise Your Majesty to follow the ancient etiquette and use oxen to plow..."

Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard chants sutras... Liu Ying turned her face and left, not caring that Zhou Chang stood there and gritted his teeth.
