Destiny Only Han

Panyu County, Dongcheng.

The newly built bazaar was crowded with people. Among the crowd coming and going, there were those with dark complexion, short stature, and short curly hair (short black people in Southeast Asia); Aryans), but most of them are Han people in straight-legged robes, and Yue people in animal skins with short hair and tattoos.

The fire in the Nanyue Palace had been extinguished for more than half a month, and this country, which was usurped by the old Qin officials due to the great chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, also disappeared.

Today's Nanyue Kingdom is still divided into three according to the Qin system, divided into Guilin, Nanhai, and Xiangjun, but the Yue people in Guilin and Xiangjun have not yet surrendered, and Liu Ying can't take care of them for a moment. .

At this moment, outside the market, a group of Yueren wizards with feathers on their heads, their hands curled up to the sky, and their feet spread apart squatting on horseback, are doing a frog dance around a wooden statue.

To be precise, it was a statue of a god.

The statue is dressed in Han costumes, both in terms of hairstyle and clothing, with a hair crown on its head, a thick and beautiful beard under its jaw, a sword in its left hand, and a bolt of lightning in its right hand above its head.

This is the King of Thunder worshiped by Yue people.

It's just that if some high-ranking officials from Chang'an City come to look at it, they will find that this statue seems to be very similar to the emperor sitting on the throne of Changle Palace!
In addition to the twelve chapter patterns on the imperial robe, it has become a three-legged frog...

This is Liu Ying's sacrifice for Liu Bang in order to unify the Yue people and make the three counties in the South China Sea peaceful.

The scene of him driving thunder all over the sky and defeating the war elephant of Nanyue Kingdom in one fell swoop was seen by all Yue people, so these Yue people worshiped Liu Ying as their Thunder King.

It's just that Liu Ying had a great dream in her heart, so she didn't want to be a fairy, so she pushed Liu Bang out.

Anyway, this old man has already become the Black Emperor, and he is not short of becoming the Thunder King again...

The important thing is that when Liu Bang became the king of thunder, the people of Yue must submit to the emperor of Han!

Otherwise, Lei Wang will not rain on your house, or when it rains, it will break down the dams in your field, causing you disaster and making you lose your harvest!
Moreover, in this age when everyone worships the gods, when someone or a certain group offends the gods, before the gods punish them, the surrounding crowd who are afraid of being hit by the gods indiscriminately will kill them first. Use their heads to appease the gods.

Among the crowd watching the Yueren wizard dancing the frog dance, Liu Ying straightened her clothes, stepped forward with three sticks of incense in her hand, and respectfully inserted them into the incense burner.

Well, head incense... Liu Ying raised her head and glanced at the majestic statue in front of her eyes, and then looked at the smoke rising from the birds in the incense burner. She felt something strange and just silently shook her head and stepped back.

Behind him, although Han Xin was full of reluctance, under Liu Ying's gaze, he walked forward sullenly, lit incense and saluted, and then walked back without looking back.

And the third place is the new Nanhai County Governor, Chen Ying.

Amid all the attention, Chen Ying stepped forward step by step, put his hands together and bowed down, and immediately took three sticks of incense sticks, and respectfully inserted them into the incense burner.

...

His pious attitude not only stunned the officials and common people who were watching, but even Liu Ying couldn't help being stunned.

His gesture was actually for the officials present and those Yue people to see.

King Lei looks the same as Liu Bang and Mao. As a courtier, it is only natural for Chen Ying to show respect to Liu Bang, and the idol represents the highest worship of the Yue people. The more pious he is, the more he can appease the Yue people. A person who settles down.

And not only that, his actions are actually sending a signal to Liu Ying:
Boss, is this pose okay?
Although Chen Ying was from Chu, he had nothing to do with Feng Pei, the hero of the court, or the nobles of the old Qin Dynasty. The forces behind him were the third forces that joined Han after Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu.

There are many people, but they don't hold much power, and they are marginalized on a daily basis.

Although today's Nanhai County is a small remote county on the border of the empire, there are many barbarians and few Han people. Counting the old, weak, sick and disabled, it is only 60 million, which is about the same as a county in Guanzhong.

But the sheriff is the sheriff, with a silver seal and green ribbon, and a rank of two thousand stones!
If you can get a certain amount of help, coupled with a coincidence, you can enter the court and become an official in minutes, and the official worships the three princes and nine ministers!
Therefore, unconsciously, Chen Ying, the boss whom Liu Ying regretted not licking, now started licking him instead...

What a trick!However, a smart person is a smart person... Liu Ying smiled, and accurately accepted Chen Ying's signal to him.

When people walk in the rivers and lakes, it is still necessary to step on a few more boats.

Although the heroes of Fengpei are easy to use, they regard themselves as shareholders, and sometimes they don't even give Liu Bang face. If they want to make them bow their heads and listen obediently, they must make them feel a sense of crisis and realize that they are not responsible for everything. possibility of being replaced.

Therefore, under Liu Ying's secret force, a third-party force from the marginalization suddenly emerged, and took down Nanhai County, the most important of the three counties in South China Sea, in one fell swoop. And the old Qin nobles were in the bag.

Of course, Liu Ying still understood the reason for slapping Yi Tianzao.

So after consecrating the statue here, Liu Ying bid farewell to Han Xin who lacked interest, boarded the same carriage with Chen Ying, and headed for the farm outside the city.

Now that the Nanyue King Zhao Tuo set himself on fire and died, the management of the Nanyue Kingdom has naturally been sorted out from top to bottom, so many good farmland manors have become ownerless.

This is sweet dates.

Everyone who has money makes money, but Xiang Yu didn't understand this truth, so he was killed by Liu Bang, who was good at throwing coins.

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, Liu Ying had already sent hints to everyone through various channels that she wanted to share the fertile fields in Nanhai County with everyone.

This is also the reason why he did not set off with the army after taking the oath that day, but turned to Dahan Public School first.

Land and manors can be taken away at low prices, and heroes and nobles can also use various methods to occupy the number of slaves that do not meet the requirements of their titles.

...

But taxes, not a penny less!

Making money for everyone does not mean harming the interests of the country!
This is Liu Ying's bottom line!
Whoever touches whoever dies!

Therefore, those one hundred outstanding graduates in mathematics came to southern Xinjiang specifically to collect taxes, and Liu Ying also equipped them with an elite armed force of 2000 people.

They are not only responsible for clarifying the agricultural tax and poll tax, but also responsible for the customs tax that is under intensive preparation.

Panyu, the future Guangzhou, has many natural harbors that have withstood the test of history.

Liu Ying had already written a letter half a month ago, requesting that engineers be dispatched from the shipyards in Yeyi Port and Tashi County to expand the seaport in Panyu County and the third Royal Shipyard that was being selected.

At the same time, he also allocated a sum of money to buy ships from Minyue Kingdom in the north and transport them to Nanhai County.

The people of Fujian and Yue live by the water, use boats as carts, and paddles as horses. Although they don't have any skills and techniques to open mountains and open roads, rivers are their natural green and smooth roads.

Therefore, Liu Ying was able to purchase more than 1000 ships of various sizes at a very low price.

It's just that these ships can barely be used for navigation, but there are only more than 200 ships.

But Liu Ying didn't expect to use these small boats to cross the sea, what he wanted was the wood that had been dried in the shade for many years!
Anyway, the iron smelting workshop in Yuzhang County will be completed in a couple of months, and there is no shortage of iron nails, so naturally they will have the ability to splice small wooden boards together.

Moreover, in the early offshore voyages, the requirements for the firmness of the ships were not high, and the focus of the transformation of old ships was still on the sails.

Compared with soft sails, the advantage of hard sails is that it is easy to operate, can greatly reduce the number of crew members, and increase the loading capacity.

But the disadvantage is that the utilization rate of the hard sail for the ocean wind is not high. There is only one support point on the mast. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the sails are not affected by each other. The sails cannot be raised very high, which leads to the slow sailing speed of sea ships with hard sails. Even under strong winds, the sailing speed is about four or five knots.

A knot is a nautical unit. A knot is equal to one nautical mile per hour. If converted, it is less than two kilometers per hour.

The important thing is that the current hard sail is not made of cloth, but bamboo canopy, which is woven from bamboo.

In this way, when the sail area is not large, and there is another dead and heavy sail, there will be ghosts if you can run fast!
And considering that a large amount of cotton cloth will be needed to make sails in the future, correspondingly, it is necessary to increase the sowing area of ​​cotton.

But in this way, there are more places to grow cotton and less places to grow food.

This is the reason why Liu Ying needed to transform the old sailing boat for human trade, and it was also the reason why he took Chen Ying out of the city together.

Although Nanhai County is not suitable for growing cotton, it is suitable for growing grain. In particular, Liu Ying brought a new rice seed from Fushun County, Shu County, which is very suitable for this kind of climate where there is no snow all year round and it is hot most of the time.

Regenerated rice.

The so-called ratooning rice refers to the rice that is harvested twice in one crop. After the first season of rice is harvested, the rice piles are used to re-grow seedlings and grow ears, and then harvest for another season.

Although the yield per mu is not as good as that of rice that is planted and harvested once, but with proper cooperation, three crops of wheat, rice and rice can be realized in a year.

This can actually harvest three seasons of grain, which is different from those who use rapeseed as green manure for three crops a year!
Of course, this method consumes a lot of soil power. If a large amount of fertilizer cannot be applied, the yield per mu will become very impressive.

Therefore, this requires the support of another industry.

Aquaculture.

Sitting in the carriage, Liu Ying looked at the farmland on both sides of the road, and then thought of the chimneys she saw when she left Guanzhong, and suddenly felt inexplicable joy.

The South engages in agriculture, and the North develops industry and commerce...

Well, reasonable.
