Chapter 28 Qin Emperor Han Wu
[The main achievements of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are as follows]

[First: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the first emperor to vigorously expand the territory of China. 】

[During his reign, a total of 190 million square kilometers of territory was developed. 】

[Specific foreign military exploits include:

Break through the Xiongnu in the north and reach Yinshan.

Zhangqian in the northwest leads to the Western Regions, and the four counties in Hexi have the Hexi Corridor and the Huangshui River Basin.

Lelang and other four counties of North Korea were set up in the Northeast.

In the southwest, there are seven counties in Southwest Yi.

Fu Dongyue in the southeast.

South destroys South Vietnam.

Set Zhuya County in Hainan Island. 】

Zhao Kuangyin: "Compared to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, my Great Song Dynasty is really hard to say. It's all my fault, alas."

[Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions twice, and opened the Silk Road. China spread iron smelting, well drilling, silk manufacturing, lacquerware manufacturing and other technologies, and the Western Regions introduced Hu (yellow) melon, carrot, grape, sweat Blood horses, walnuts, and Tianmas have established friendly relations between the Western Han Dynasty and countries in the Western Regions, which are of great historical significance and have played an inestimable role. 】

[Second: Strengthen the imperial power. 】

[At the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's accession to the throne, the domestic political situation was relatively stable, and the country's economic situation was also quite good.

But on the other hand, the factors of splitting the princely kingdoms still exist, and the potential threat is not small.Therefore, while continuing to implement various policies of Emperor Jing, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also adopted a series of measures to strengthen centralization.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted Zhu Fuyan's suggestion and promulgated the "Decree of Tweeting Grace" to weaken the power of the vassal states enfeoffed in the early Han Dynasty, strengthen the centralization of power, and strengthen the supervision system.

He also changed ancient creations, including major reforms and creations such as the right to receive prime ministers, the establishment of governors, and the establishment of equal losses. He established a systematic and complete political system, which changed the situation in the Han Dynasty where the monarch was weak and the ministers were strong. 】

[In terms of legal thinking, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of "removing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", affirming the status of Confucianism as the feudal orthodox legal thought.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not restrict the development of other schools. He just vigorously advocated the development of Confucianism and the combination of Confucianism and Legalism, which is the so-called "Confucianism and Law".

When Emperor Wu of the Han respected Confucianism exclusively, he also "learned and extended the learning of all kinds of schools", forming a pattern of using Confucianism as the ruling ideology and simultaneously using a hundred schools of thought. 】

[Third: Reform domestic measures to make the domestic economy prosperous. 】

[If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wants to achieve his prosperity, he must have strong economic power as a foundation.Therefore, while strengthening the centralization of power, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also carried out drastic reforms in the economy. 】

[Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted a policy of emphasizing agriculture and ignoring business, rectified finances, and promulgated "counting money" and "complaining money" orders.

While taxing merchants' assets and vigorously cracking down on profiteers, he also adopted Sang Hongyang's suggestion to bring iron smelting and salt boiling back to the government, prohibit counties and states from minting money, and uniformly mint five baht coins.

The establishment of leveling officials and equal loss officials, and the government's management of transportation and trade have greatly enhanced the country's economic strength.

At the same time, the construction of water conservancy, emigration to the northwest to cultivate fields, and the implementation of the "replacing land law" are conducive to the development of agricultural production.

And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had another important economic measure, which was to unify the currencies at that time and take back the right to mint coins. 】

[There is no doubt about the importance of the currency system to a country. It can make a country stronger quickly, but there are also huge dangers hidden in it.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang did not understand the nature of currency, which led to the rapid depreciation of "Daming Treasure Banknotes", which directly caused the entire Ming Dynasty's economic and monetary system to collapse. 】

"What is the essence of currency?" Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. "My Ming's precious banknotes will actually cause the collapse of the entire Ming's economy?"

Seeing this, Empress Ma also had a dignified expression, "It's a good thing that the Daming Banknotes haven't been officially issued yet, it seems that we have to think about it in the long run!"

Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Household Department, had a horrified expression on his face, "This precious banknote actually has such a great destructive power? No, I have to persuade His Majesty to think more about it!"

And Liu Che saw the benefits of the currency system, "Is it possible that as long as one understands the nature of currency, a country can quickly become stronger?"

Ai Xingjue Luo Xuanye, the Holy Patriarch of the Qing Dynasty, also began to pay more attention to paper money at this time, "It seems that there is no problem with paper money, but the root of the problem is that we do not understand the nature of 'currency'!"

[Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty reigned for 54 years, which was the heyday of the Western Han Dynasty and created unprecedented achievements.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's great talents, literary and martial arts made the Han Dynasty the most powerful country in the world at that time. The Western Han Empire under his rule was stronger than the Roman Empire and became the undisputed center of world civilization. It also made the Han Dynasty the Chinese nation. One of the great eras in history to be proud of and showcase. 】

Liu Che keenly grasped an important message in this passage, "The Roman Empire? Where is it? How can He De be compared with me?!"

Although Liu Che really wanted to know about this powerful country that was specifically mentioned, but the video was just skipped, he could only write down the name for the time being, and then ask those later emperors when the free exchange started.

The video continues to play,

[After taking stock of Liu Che's achievements, let's take a look at Liu Che's faults. 】

Liu Che murmured to himself with some displeasure: "Huh, it's old age and extravagance again, right? But I'm not the same person I was before!"

[[-]. Daxing construction and sensuality]

Although he was mentally prepared, when he saw the video listing his faults, Liu Che's expression turned ugly.

[As the saying goes, "absolute power breeds absolute corruption".

As an emperor with a high degree of power, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty showed extreme corruption.

This extreme sense of pleasure drove him to make great efforts to expand the harem extensively and indulge in sensuality.

At the beginning, there were many palaces in the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu entered the customs, and the fire did not burn the old Qin palaces in three months, and many palaces were preserved.

The emperors in the early Han Dynasty were relatively frugal and did not overly repair their palaces.However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed his frugality and self-restraint of the previous dynasty. He was desperate for extravagance, and built a large number of construction projects to build palace management halls and other courtyards. 】

Qin Shihuang's face became even more ugly than Liu Che's, "It's Xiang Yu again, how dare he set fire to my palace!!!"

[[-]. Reuse of cruel officials and Daxing imperial prison]

[Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty demanded the absoluteness of power and status, so he would not be inactive and frugal like Emperor Hui and Wen.Because of this kind of centralized thought, the cruelty and tyranny in Emperor Wu's character were particularly strong. 】

[Three, using troops without stopping, laboring the people and wasting wealth]

[Everything has two sides. The other side of the illustrious feats of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in opening up the frontier and establishing the land is the militarism, the labor of the people and the waste of money, and the endless war. 】

[[-]. Worshiping gods and superstitions]

[Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was superstitious about alchemists and the theory of immortals, and spent a lot of manpower and financial resources on tours to seek immortality, hoping to live forever. 】

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sneered at the last comment, "Now the gods are standing in front of you, and they can directly reward life. How dare you say that I believe in alchemists and gods?"

[Generally speaking, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty created a brand new era, an era belonging to the Han people, his greatness is beyond doubt! 】

[Facing the enemy, never retreat! 】

[Even at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the princes of the world rose together and the chaotic era of the Three Kingdoms, they could still punch Xianbei Wuhuan and kick Nanman Shanyue. This is the Yuwei of the Great Han Dynasty! 】

[Many dynasties perished with weakness, but the Han Dynasty perished with strength! 】

[Emperor Liu Chexiong of the Han Dynasty was talented and generous, and created the pinnacle of the Chinese clan in the world.Ranked fourth among the top ten emperors, he deserved his name! 】
