Destiny Only Han

Chapter 853 Liu Ying: In order to encourage childbirth, I also worked hard...

Xihai County, Linqiang County.

In the northwest of October, the weather began to turn cold. The sun pierced through the thick clouds and sprinkled on people's bodies, and they could hardly feel any warmth. I shuddered.

But even so, there is still a sea of ​​people outside the temporary train station here.

Today is the day their emperor arrived here!

Excitement, pride, grievances and many other emotions are all submerged under the red flags waving and the sound of gongs and drums at this moment.

Well, the so-called grievance is probably because I was bullied by the Qiang people once before.

Although the vengeance was avenged, the people of Xihai County still felt that they could not hold their heads up in front of the people of other counties in the Han Dynasty.

After all, in this world, there is only the reason for the Han people to bully and rob others. How can there be any reason for the Han people to be robbed by the barbarians and bullied by the barbarians?
Such a great shame and humiliation cannot be washed away without the destruction of the country, the extermination of its species, and the extermination of its descendants!

But they only achieved the first two, and the last one could have been achieved, but no one can be ruthless than grass...

Well, the main reason is that good fortune is hard to give up.

So they faced the mocking eyes of the melon-eaters who came to watch the ceremony from various counties in the Central Plains, and they had no choice but to do it themselves. When they went back, they would let those Qiang women take off their armor to show them...

Inside the platform.

Zhidu looked at the flowers made of colored paper around him, the paintings, reliefs, specimens and other decorations in the style of Xihai County, and nodded frequently, very satisfied.

He was a little worried at first.

After all, Wang Ji and others are playboys from Chang'an City, and the previous events in Chang'an City, among other things, focused on extravagance and luxury, so he was also worried that he would see those extravagant scenes.

Xihai County only covers a large area, but in terms of wealth, especially the annual tax income, it is at most equivalent to a county around Chang'an City!

Therefore, this kind of welcome ceremony that does not cost much, but highlights the regional characteristics, and has a sense of design, shows that Wang Ji and others have put their heart into it.

Perhaps, this is what His Majesty said about looking at people through colored glasses... Zhidu raised the corners of his mouth, and when he looked at Wang Ji and the others who were full of anxiety, he did not hesitate to praise him at all, and said that he would ask for credit for them in front of the emperor .

For a moment, Wang Ji, Li Ji and others were overjoyed, but they didn't care too much about what Zhidu said about asking for credit for them in front of the emperor.

The meritorious sons of their level don't need credit, but a sense of existence in Liu Ying's heart.

After all, Liu Ying holds the power to divide the cake.

In this kind of human society, especially the human society under the feudal dynasty, only those dignitaries closest to Liu Ying can have a round belly, and it would be good if other people can get some residue. Can't even smell it...

Therefore, this is also the reason why many masters tried their best to sell their daughters and sisters to Liu Ying.

It's a pity that Liu Ying is a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who has escaped vulgar interests, a person who worries about the world's worries first, and enjoys the world's joys later!

Naturally, you will not be fooled by beauty!

Well, in fact, the main reason is because of ugly refusal...

Most of the heroes in the early Han Dynasty were born with mud legs, and there were few people who were capable of writing and martial arts and were very handsome. Therefore, the appearance of the second generation of Gonghou was the same, and the third generation was naturally not much more beautiful.

For example, the granddaughter of Cao Shen, or the younger sister of Wu Chen, the king of Changsha...

I'd rather eat a bite of fairy peach than a basket of rotten apricots... Liu Ying raised her hands and let the blushing Xu Negative and Zang'er beside him put on the emperor's crown for him.

Last night, the big quilt slept together, a hundred miles a day.

While tidying up Liu Ying's sleeves, Xu negative bitterly bit his hand.

bad guy!
I know how to bully people!

But in the next second, she only felt a steel-like arm hugging her slender waist, making her lie in Liu Ying's arms involuntarily.

Then, the clothes started to get messy.

"No, don't, it's broad daylight... Ouch, it hurts! I know I'm wrong..."

"I bite me, I bite you too, it's even."

Liu Ying flicked her sleeves and walked out of the carriage with a proud face.

It's just that he didn't notice that behind him, Xu negative rubbed the teeth marks on his chest, with a strange expression on his face.

Longing, pleasure, unfulfilled desire...

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

Uh...

The sound of the siren echoed in every corner of the platform, and the monster-like steam train dragged more than 20 carriages to a slow stop.

Wang Ji, who was beside Zhidu, waved lightly to the band beside him, and the song "Qin Wang Breaks the Array" that Liu Yingmo changed immediately rang out on the platform.

The tune is high-pitched and majestic, especially the band's performance is extremely skillful, the rhythm is not chaotic, and it is not inferior to the group of official musicians in Fengchang Mansion.

"Yes." Li Ji exclaimed softly, "Where can I find a musician in such a short time?"

Although Wang Ji was happy in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face. He just waved his hands with his orchid fingers up: "Chang'an Grand Theater, after all, I still have some friendship with them..."

Li Ji stared at the orchid for a long time before silently pulling away halfway.

What he likes is the cute little girl, not the cute big hairy guy...

Wang Ji has long been familiar with the strangeness.

After all, women's clothing is just a hobby, and it doesn't hinder his orientation, especially he has been encouraged by Liu Ying to live out his own self and live up to this life, so others can see how they want, and it will not change His original intention.

"Your Majesty is down."

Shen Wugui reminded in a low voice, and then straightened his clothes again.

Zhi Du also tidied up his robes, and led the bustling crowd behind him to greet him.

"Mountain hoo--"

"Long live Long live Long live……"

The tidy and loud voice resounded throughout the station, and then slowly spread to the outside, triggering an even louder shout.

Amidst the deafening sound of gongs and drums, countless people waved their arms and shouted loudly.

"Long live Long live Long live……"

But farther away, many bald men in yellow robes held prayer beads, and Lanxess chanted:

"I pay homage to Sakyamuni Buddha, the original teacher of Nanwu wholeheartedly; I pay homage to the Great Compassionate One with all my heart, and the Compassionate One has entered the Tathagata Land..."

Great Merciful Venerable refers to Maitreya Bodhisattva.

Liu Ying is the reincarnation of Maitreya they claim...

Well, the reason why it is Maitreya Bodhisattva instead of Maitreya Buddha is mainly because Maitreya is the future Buddha, and he will switch to the Saha world to become a Buddha in about 50 billion years.

But this is not a problem at all for those Indian monks who blindly preach the Dharma. As long as they can preach to more believers, they can accumulate enough merits and virtues, so that they can be reincarnated in the Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if the scriptures are changed, the important thing is that they can also make concessions in terms of money.

Not to mention the eleventh tax, they will accept it even if it is ten zero tax!
..............................

Linqiang County, Shuangqiaoli.

Liu Ying stepped out of the carriage amidst shouts and hugs, but when she saw those ordinary people kneeling on the ground and saluting, she quickly took two steps, smiling all over her face:
"Everyone get up..."

He didn't come here to show off, but to express condolences, so he deliberately didn't wear fancy clothes such as Mianfu, Xuanxuan, or Fufu, but a very low-key moon-white robe, but the tattoo pattern is gold. Wire……

After all, for the emperor, it would be unseemly to dress poorly.

Understated luxury at its best.

Therefore, behind Liu Ying, Wang Ling Li Shang and others who accompanied him also wore robes that looked plain, but in fact, whether it was cutting or materials, they could be called ingenious robes of famous masters.

Weisun Shiqi from Linqiang County greeted him, directed Liu Ying to take two steps forward, pointed to a man in a wheelchair, about 30 years old, with a sallow complexion, and said: "This person is Shi Wu Huang Wuji, no Gengjue, when fighting the Qiang people, he wore seven wounds and never retreated in a deadly battle, so that the railroad tracks were not stolen by the Qiang people!"

"It's a pity that the leg bones are shattered, so I have to amputate..."

After all, it was only a patrol team of more than ten people who discovered that the Qiang people were stealing the railroad tracks. The patrol team was outnumbered, with a dozen or so people, it dealt with hundreds of Qiang people.

Although the soldiers of the Han army wore iron armor, the flails and driving sticks in the hands of the Qiang people were not vegetarian.

In particular, the patrol team wears plate and chain armor daily in order to save energy, and the defense for the legs is even weaker, which naturally becomes the focus of the Qiang people's attacks.

So, in fact, they can survive until the support arrives, which is already very remarkable!
Liu Ying shook her head and sighed softly: "It's a pity for such a warrior..."

After he finished speaking, he signaled Zhong Lang behind him to bring over the condolences he had prepared.

The condolence items are very simple, mostly cloth, money strings, rice noodles, grain and oil and other daily necessities.

After all, he has already rewarded him before, and he came here today just to buy people's hearts, so it is enough to give some things that are not costly.

After the Zhonglang moved the condolences to Lifang, Liu Ying asked with a smile, "Do you have any children?"

Huang Wuji said with trembling lips, "Yes, yes, two sons and one daughter..."

With a ceremonial smile, Liu Ying looked around and said, "Then you need to work harder. I am younger than you, but I already have five sons and one daughter!"

Huang Wuji smiled, cupped his hands and said, "I will do my best to live up to your Majesty's instructions!"

After all, he has the title of the fourth rank, and after voluntarily migrating to Xihai County, he can also get a lot of land rewards. Lin Linzong finally has a thousand acres of fertile land and almost the same amount of grassland, so even if a leg is broken, it is still possible. It will not affect his life at all.

The important thing is that he will no longer serve in the military, and the rest of his life will only be about having children...

Liu Ying nodded slightly to him, took two steps, looked at a woman in her 40s and said with a smile: "And you, my sister, are the real hero!"

All of a sudden, the people around looked at the middle-aged woman and the middle-aged man standing beside her, who was also so excited that tears filled his eyes.

But this is not the most conspicuous. The most conspicuous thing is that beside the couple, there are twelve men and women standing at different heights.

This is why Liu Ying called her a hero.

The two of them gave birth to twelve children in total, and there is at least one more in their womb right now!
In other words, after ten years, this small family, which was just a husband and wife at first, will expand into a big family with more than fifty people!

Liu Ying waved her hand, and asked Zhonglang behind her to move a plaque over, and then lifted the silk cloth on it, revealing four big golden characters.

hero mother.

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

On the return carriage, Zhang Buyi leaned lazily on the sofa, shook his head and asked, "As for?"

Liu Ying asked back: "What is it?"

Zhang Buyi sat up straight: "I think it's normal to give condolences to disabled soldiers, but isn't it a little too much to give a 'hero' plaque to that woman who has nothing but to give birth?"

"After all, there's no woman elsewhere who hasn't given birth to those many children."

"You know what a fart!" Liu Ying said unceremoniously: "Do you know what the power of example is? Besides, how do you feel about Xihai County when you come here by train?"

Zhang Buyi was stunned for a moment: "The scenery is magnificent, the scenery is beautiful, and it is very different from the Central Plains..."

Liu Ying was about to fight: "I asked you this? I asked you, what do you think has changed between Xihai County and when we came last time?"

Zhang Buyi thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "I really forgot if you didn't tell me."

"Not to mention, there are farmlands and pastures everywhere along both sides of the railway. It's a pity that we came at the wrong time. The crops are all harvested and the grass is yellow. It looks a bit desolate. If we come in summer or autumn, the scenery will be better." It must be better!"

Liu Ying resisted the urge to beat him up. After all, Liu Le was living on the train at the moment. When Zhang Buyi went to file a lawsuit, Liu Le would definitely help her family's little boy to get back the situation...

But that's not important, what's important is that Liu Ying brought the whole family to eat and drink at Liu Le's these days, eating and drinking at Liu Le's place...

Well, the little refers to himself, Xu Negative and Zang Er, and the old is naturally Liu Bang...

After all, the men of their old Liu family have never had the habit of giving money for meals...

So Liu Ying sighed and said:

"When the population first migrated, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the road, the population was distributed along both sides of the road..."

"So what you see is just a leopard in the pipe. Between the hills and valleys far away from the railway, there are still large tracts of undeveloped land!"

"And if we want Xihai County to be fully developed, how can we not encourage them to have children?"

Zhang Buyi frowned and said, "Isn't it okay to relocate people from outside?"

Liu Ying asked: "Are you cold?"

Zhang Buyi nodded: "It's cold, look at what I'm wearing, and I'm wearing a sable fur jacket..."

Sable fur is used exclusively by the royal family, and this guy is overstepping... Liu Ying made a note of him in her heart, preparing to settle the score after autumn, and then said: "Then what kind of clothes did you wear when you were in Guanzhong a few days ago?"

Zhang Buyi recalled it for a while, pinched his short beard and said: "The heavy brocade autumn clothes, sometimes just wear unlined clothes at noon."

Liu Ying nodded: "Yes, do you think people from the Central Plains are willing to come to this bitter cold place?"

Zhang Buyi said without hesitation, "I don't want to."

After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment: "Huh? How did these [-] households move here before?"

Liu Ying smiled and said, "At that time, they had no choice."

"At that time, they had only three options. They could either cross the sea and go to Jingdao Governor's Mansion to plant rice, or go to Jiuyuan, Yunzhong and other cold places in the north to herd horses and sheep, and finally come to Xihai County to farm..."

"So, Xihai County has easily acquired [-] households of immigrants, but the population is not concentrated in the counties near Xihai, such as Linqiang and Huangyuan, but mainly in the counties in the east, near Longxi County."

"But it's different now."

"Thanks to the development of the paper industry, the most important thing is the success of literacy, which has led to more and more literate people among the people. The Chang'an Post has gradually changed from the previous semi-annual publication to a monthly publication."

"This has led to relatively easy access to information with little delay, even in rural areas."

"Thus, I can't hide the fact that I can get a lot of rewards from going to Nanyang..."

"Under such circumstances, if we have to relocate the population to fill this bitter cold place, I'm afraid the Central Plains will hear foxes again!"

"Fox barking?" Zhang Buyi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out of joy.

After all, the events of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were not many years ago, and those who witnessed the incident in Daze Township had not yet died, so ordinary people may not know all the details, but Zhang Liang knew it clearly. The important thing is that there are secrets in the palace. Later, Zhang Buyi naturally knew it very well.

So Zhang Bu asked: "So, you encourage them to have more lives?"

Liu Ying tapped the coffee table next to the sofa with her index finger:
"Exactly, have you noticed that the Han people have a unique nostalgia for their hometown, that is, they generally don't like to leave the land where they were born and raised. Counties go around..."

Zhang Buyi nodded.

Liu Ying said with a smile: "Therefore, when there are not many migrants moving in, it is the right way to encourage them to have more lives."

"You must know that barbarians will grow on the land. If you don't occupy the land, it won't be long before a group of barbarians will wander over from nowhere, take root and sprout next to us, and then drool at the wealthy Han people... "

Zhang Buyi was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

The corner of Liu Ying's mouth raised: "Think about it for yourself, if you can't figure it out, write to my teacher and ask him, by the way, will he participate in this year's New Year's ceremony?"

Zhang Buyi scratched his head:
"Okay. My dad should come back during the Chinese New Year. After all, he went out with Shangshan Sihao this time. Those old guys are very annoying. Don't worry about it. My dad might already be there On the way home..."

Liu Ying smiled and said nothing.

He didn't know how to tell Zhang Buyi about some things.

Like he said, barbarians really seem to grow out of the earth.

For example, after the Xiongnu were beaten and disabled, the Xianbei people who had hidden in a corner before they didn't know where they were hiding appeared, not only surrendered the Huns, but even repulsed the Eastern Han Dynasty...

Then, Xianbei went south, and Rouran appeared...

Rouran fell, and Turkic began to rise again...

The Tang Dynasty finally flattened the Northwest forces such as the Turks and Tuyuhun, and the Khitan people in the northeast began to grow up again, until the Jurchens in the black water of the Baishan Mountain came out of the forest and replaced the Khitan people...

Immediately afterwards, the Mongols began to sweep the world...

In the end, everyone knows everything.

And from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties that only occupied the Central Plains, to the last eighteen provinces of Han, all of them illustrate a truth.

Pockets are safe.

That's why Liu Ying issued plaques to Han couples who gave birth to more than a dozen children in succession.

Well, just a plaque, nothing else.

After all, it was the emperor Liu Ying's private behavior to send a plaque for commendation, while other commendations were state behavior.

Such as tax exemption.

Since Liu Ying succeeded to the throne, she has not abolished the previous decree to encourage childbearing. Not only can she be rewarded for having a child, but she can also be exempted from many taxes and corvee.

The important thing is that the [-]th class military merit system is still functioning well.

In other words, every child born will get land from the government according to the corresponding title when he becomes an adult.

Today's Xihai County is vast and sparsely populated, with only a population of more than 100 million living on an area similar to that of Qinghai Province in later generations, so some land is used to grant newborns!
But here comes another problem.

That is to open up wasteland is difficult.

Although the Han Kingdom has a set of standard procedures for opening up wasteland on the wild land, it is mainly based on animal husbandry in the early stage, and while the land is fertile, it can also earn a little living expenses.

But, this kind of income is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

The land is well maintained, but the newly established family does not have enough money to purchase large-scale agricultural machinery such as horse-drawn plowshares and horse-drawn harvesters!
After all, the premise of gnawing on the old is that the parents have savings, and a family with five or six, seven or eight or even more than ten children obviously cannot save much money.

So, they can only rely on themselves.

No, there is another option... Liu Ying raised the corner of her mouth, ready to start that plan after collecting a certain amount of data.

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

Egyptian Governor's Palace, Alexandria.

On the edge of the square where the statue of Liu Ying stood with a sword, a Greek-style temple with thick and high columns was crowded with bustling crowds.

They also came to join in the fun.

Today is the day when the Eastern Mediterranean Development Bank was established.

In fact, Egyptians are no strangers to banks. After all, the rulers of the Ptolemaic Dynasty also opened institutions similar to banks in China in order to accelerate the development of Egypt and fight other successor countries.

But not to mention the high interest rates of those institutions, and the forced apportionment, which is similar to stealing money...

Dou Guangguo stood at the door of the bank, quietly waiting for the firecrackers to end.

The Dahan silver dollars brought by the cargo ship that day were not only used to support the business operations in the Mediterranean Sea, but also as a reserve for his establishment of a bank.

banking.

This is undoubtedly a very novel thing in today's world, and a little carelessness will cause unknown risks.

Therefore, the first person to eat crabs was naturally the Greek world in the Eastern Mediterranean...

After all, the strong commercial atmosphere here is more conducive to Liu Ying's adjustment of the bank's operating rules and the introduction of a new system that is suitable for this place and also applicable to the Han Dynasty.
