Destiny Only Han

Chapter 628 Liu Ying: You Are Suspicious!I don't agree...

Huiji County.

Although the previous war between the imperial court and the Huainan Kingdom cast a shadow of war on this place, as the main force of the imperial court was exhausted, especially after Liu Jiao led the Chu army to go south to defend the Jiangkou, this place has returned to its previous peace.

The ancients regarded the left as east, and the Yangtze River runs north-south from above Jinling to Jiujiang. Therefore, Kuaiji County, located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, is the so-called land of Jiangdong.

At the beginning, Liu Bang was going to make Liu Jia the king here. After all, Jiangdong is the place where the Xiang family started. Although the eight thousand Jiangdong children had substantially abandoned Xiang Yu before the Battle of Gaixia, people's hearts are the most unpredictable. Therefore, it is understandable that a prince with the surname Liu will be guarded here.

But Liu Ying looked at the map. If Liu Jia was sealed here, Chu State would belong to Liu Jiao, Qi State would belong to Liu Fei, Yan State would belong to Lu Wan, Minyue State would belong to King Minyue, and Nanyue State would belong to Zhao Tuo...

This means that in the huge Han Kingdom, there is no coastline that belongs to the Hanting Central!
Therefore, Liu Jia's Jing State is no longer the land of Wu, but the land of Jingman, that is, Nanjun, Linjiang State in the past, Hubei in later generations, and Chu State, which is in charge of communicating with Liu, ruled Yingbu's land from left to right. Huainan country!
In fact, Liu Ying's judgment was correct. The people in Kuaiji County and Zhang County had no intention of giving allegiance to Xiang Yu to the end.

As soon as the Han army arrived, the county magistrates appointed by Xiang Yu immediately surrendered and became obedient citizens of the Han Dynasty. They were not at all as the scholars of later generations imagined.

Well, after all, Xiang Yu died, and the Xiang family collectively changed their surnames, becoming the clan members of the Liu surname...

Seeing that the local people are so knowledgeable, so with Liu Ying's strong support over the years, the point is that the local county soldiers are equipped with new-style armored swords. In Chinese clothes, everyone is humble and respectful, which has a bit of the flavor of the Jiangnan water town in later generations.

Kuaiji County Government Office, Wu County.

Liu Bang walked on the straight and wide cement outside the county with his hands behind his back, and he was amazed.

After all, the Huainan Kingdom next door is still made of rammed earth. This place is located in the southeast border of the empire, and the area of ​​hardened roads is actually comparable to that of Guanzhong.

He kicked hard on the ground twice, the corners of his mouth raised: "No wonder I feel that the road is much smoother after crossing the river. It really depends on where the money is spent..."

Well, in last year's financial report, Han's annual income was about 120 billion yuan, of which more than 40 billion was spent on road construction, second only to the annual expenditure of the frontier army.

Liu Ying lowered her head with a guilty conscience. He was behind the road construction plan in Kuaiji County. On the surface, it was to better transport the silk produced here to Guanzhong and sell it to merchants in the Western Regions to expand foreign trade. In fact, it was the same. , but what he didn't say clearly is that about [-]% of the silk weaving workshops here are directly or indirectly owned by Donggong...

Liu Ruyi, who was begging for nothing, also followed Liu Bang and kicked the ground, causing the passers-by around to stare blankly.
"What are you doing? Hey, what about you, can you afford to pay for kicking the ground? Hurry up, hurry up, if you don't go, I'll arrest you all and cut down trees to fill the swamp!"

After Bai Jiang finished speaking, the passers-by around him burst into knowing smiles.

After all, the former Jiangdong land was densely covered with lakes, swamps and depressions, and there were virgin forests everywhere that did not see the sun. Therefore, it was called "the land of Chuyue, with a vast land and a rare population, with rice, rice, soup and fish, and fire farming with water mattresses".

Therefore, the treatment of criminals in the past few years has changed from previous fines, corporal punishment, or removal of titles to sending them to construction sites or logging camps for labor reform...

Amidst the roar of laughter, Liu Ruyi was furious, after all, at his current age, he was in the stage of extremely saving face!

And to be honest, he has never been reprimanded by a small official of this level in his age!
So Liu Ruyi stared, and was about to reveal her identity, scare to death the little fighting food official in front of her, and then let the guards hidden around beat him up to vent her anger!

Just hearing Liu Bang cough lightly, Liu Ruyi shrank immediately, shrank behind Liu Bang and probed his head, his eyes were full of fierceness.

Liu Bang leaned over with great interest, cupped his hands and said: "The dog is not sensible, but I hope General Haihan will..."

The word "Zege" is a modal particle. After Liu Ying transformed the useless words that were signed into the Han Dynasty and adapted them into operas, many words that were originally handed down in later generations also became popular.

But when he heard Liu Bang's "Zege", the hundred generals who had some disdain for him suddenly changed their faces, and asked with a smile:

"Yo? Did the guest come from Chang'an City?"

Well, although Liu Bang has a Peisi accent, he has lived in Guanzhong all these years, and he inevitably mixes a lot of Guanzhong dialect when speaking, and this is also the reason why the general changed his face .

People from Jiangbei who can travel back and forth between Guanzhong and Kuaiji County in this year are either wealthy businessmen or officials.

The former is fine, but the latter is terrible.

After all, the emperor's car is stationed in the city, and the one who can bring his family and his mouth to follow the emperor from Chang'an must be the noble of the dynasty!

Out of the corner of his eyes, Bai Jiang looked up, down, left, and right at the clothes of Liu Bang and Liu Ying, which further verified that the other party should be a high-ranking official who accompanied the emperor's car.

As a result, his waist bent more and more, and the smile on his face became more and more humble.

Liu Bang is such a thief, he has already judged from the hundred generals' front and back respect that the other party has guessed about their identities, but he firmly believes that his identity as emperor has not been exposed.

After all, whoever wants to break his head would never think of the current emperor taking the crown prince and Zhao Wang incarnate as street runners, kicking the concrete floor outside the city...

So he just nodded slightly, neither admitting nor denying.

And the hundred general explained with a smile on his face:
"It's not that I am causing trouble today, but I have seen the difficulty of repairing this road with my own eyes, so I stepped forward to obstruct it, and I hope this gentleman can forgive me...

Sir, Nai Gong will be called Mr. one day...Liu Bang smiled at the corner of his mouth, but his posture was involuntarily a little gentler, no longer the wild and heroic before.

The hundred generals continued without realizing it:
"Well, although this road was not built by us Han people, it was built by those Yue people captured from the forest..."

"At the beginning we thought it was nothing, what about slaves, why don't we have to pay them for their happiness if we don't do hard work? Nine, there will indeed be some sympathy..."

"Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the cement road that this gentleman and that young master trampled on before. When the Yue people built this road, more than 700 people died of exhaustion. This dusty cement road, but The Yue people propped it up with thick white bones!"

When the general said this, he was a little moved.

Although the barbarians near Kuaiji County are Yue people called "Wu Yue", they can be subdivided into two large groups of Yue people, "Yu Yue" and "Han Yue".

These two tribes are inevitably influenced by the ancient Chinese ancestors because of the mixed population of Hua and Yi. The concept of clan and family is very strong. The blood-related Yue people besieged and tried to rescue their people.

Although this is to give away the head, but the Yue tribe has such an atmosphere, which has led to the fact that the officials in Kuaiji County are not as easy to manage as the Bo people and the indigenous people in Southeast Asia. Therefore, what they are facing is that the local officials are not capped. violent repression.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the bones of the dead will carry the concrete road.

Well, when the Europeans discovered the New World back then, it wasn’t that they hadn’t thought of capturing the local aborigines as a labor force, but it was a pity that the violent confrontation persisted, and a large number of black slaves had to be introduced as a last resort.

After all, the tribes of Indians are all over the colony, while the tribes of black slaves are far across the ocean.

The most important thing is that it was not the Europeans who captured the black slaves and sold them to the Europeans, but the black countries living around the golden ivory coast of West Africa.

Dahomey is brave and good at fighting, and the blacks in the rainforest are particularly able to give birth.

Therefore, one can be grasped, one can be produced, and an industrial chain is born...

Therefore, when the black slave trade was abolished at the beginning, the first people who refused to agree were actually the blacks in Africa...

After all, there is an old saying in China that cutting someone's money is like killing one's parents...

And when the hundred general shed a few drops of crocodile tears, Liu Bang didn't say anything, but a passing merchant couldn't listen anymore, and said contemptuously:

"Good death! If I want to say that those barbarians had better die! In the past, the barbarians in the forest were not caught, and when the crown prince didn't let people build this road, the merchants came from the edge of the Yue people's forest. However, who is not worried? Those barbarians are more ruthless than the water bandits of the Xiang family, the water bandits led by Huan Chu only robbed money but not killed, but the barbarians want all of them!"

Hearing the words 'Xiang Jia' and 'Water Bandit', Liu Bang suddenly became interested, and wanted to go over to ask clearly, but the merchant was very busy, so he just asked him to go to the teahouse to listen to it in his spare time. After playing, he hurried out of the city and headed north.

But the hundred general said with a resentful face:

"This gentleman came from a long way, and he didn't know it. He was talking about a folk art that has been very popular in Jiangdong in the past two years. The general idea is that after Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, died in battle, the Xiang family moved here. In order to Seeking the money, food, soldiers and horses needed to resist the Qin Dynasty, so they subdued the water bandits in the quake, and put them under the command of Huan Chu..."

"However, water bandits and robbers also have their own ways, and they are for resisting the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty. It is not as bad as what the merchants say. It is better not to believe what he says!"

Liu Bang touched his beard and looked at Liu Ying with suspicion.

He also served in Xiang Liang's army for a while, and he was an old acquaintance with Huan Chu, so why didn't he know that the other party also had a promising career as a water bandit?

If there was anyone in the Chu army who had been a strong man who cut the diameter, it would only be those who rushed out of Mangdang Mountain!

Well, it must be this Zhuzi who is pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai.

Go back and beat him later!
