A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 406 Broken Leaf
The impact of the emergence of Confucian classics families was not great, and the new Confucian classics families were still very weak.It will take at least several decades of development before the Confucian classics family can demonstrate their power.

Wang Ze continued to patrol the world, and then ransacked the homes of a large number of nobles, powerful men, and officials who dared to mint copper coins privately, and then prepared to be exiled to the Western Regions.

The world is vast, and there are still many people who dare to mint copper coins privately. After all, money touches people's hearts.The profit from normal coinage is about half, and those who mint privately make even more money.

All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and the prosperity of the world is for profit.

Not everyone can resist greed and mint copper coins privately.After Wang Ze dealt with the matter in Handan, he went to Jicheng. Jicheng was close to Liaodong. Those whose homes were confiscated and exiled in Jicheng were directly sent to Liaodong.

Don't think it's enough to be assigned to Liaodong. Although Liaodong is only a few hundred miles away from Jicheng, Liaodong is even colder than Jicheng.

In addition to being neither arid nor desert, Liaodong has a worse environment than the Western Region.During this era, the channels of the Liaohe River Basin were chaotic, forming a vast swamp, Liaoze.Mosquitoes are everywhere here and are extremely unfriendly to humans.

It has been decades since the First Emperor enfeoffed King Yan, and the number of people here is only 50 million.

Fortunately, Daqian was strong and defeated the Xiongnu, which frightened the Donghu and made them dare not make mistakes. In addition, the strength of the Yan State was not weak, otherwise the Yan State would have to fight the Donghu several times every year.

Wang Jing exiled the noble and powerful officials of Jicheng to the State of Yan in order to increase the strength of the State of Yan.

The State of Yan has also been actively developing over the years. A large number of miscellaneous people from the north have been captured over the years. The women of these people were rewarded to the soldiers as wives and concubines, while the men were sent to build the Liao River embankment.

In order to solve the flooding problem of the Liao River, the Yan State has been regulating the Liao River over the years.By excavating river silt and building embankments, the Liaohe River channel is connected and led into the sea.

The tributaries of the Liao River were also trimmed, and finally poured into the Liao River channel and flowed into the sea.At the same time, ditches were built to divert water from the Liao River to irrigate farmland.

The management of the Liaohe River requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The Yan State's continuous management for decades has been quite effective, and the number of flooding of the Liaohe River has been significantly reduced.After the Liaohe River water is diverted into ditches or the sea, the water source entering Liaoze also decreases.

It's just that it is still extremely difficult to manage this swamp with a radius of hundreds of miles.

Because the swamp is difficult to navigate, Daqian needs to go around the north and pass through a mountain pass to go to Yan State. Although the swamp can be passed, it will be very dangerous once it is blocked by others.Therefore, in order to communicate with the Yan State, Daqian Liaodong built sea ships and traveled to the Yan State via sea ships.

It's just that current navigation technology is backward, and navigation on the sea is quite dangerous.

Wang Jing exiled [-] powerful people and wealthy households in Jidi to Liaodong, and then went to Jinyang, Guanzhong, Bashu and other places.

After spending two years, the imperial court finally sorted out the world, and all the nobles, powerful officials, and wealthy officials who dared to mint copper coins privately were eliminated by the imperial court like strong winds sweeping away fallen leaves.After sorting through the entire Daqian, at least 30 people were exiled to the Western Regions.

A large number of nobles, powerful people, and wealthy people were exiled to the Western Regions. On the Hexi Corridor heading to the Western Regions, there were countless pedestrians as far as the eye could see.

A large number of people entered Dunhuang through the Hexi Corridor and were then exiled to Tingzhou, Qiuci, Shule and other places.

After finishing organizing the world, Wang Jing ennobled the fourth prince Wang Ze and the fifth prince Wang Yu as kings of Zhao and Tang. They were also entrusted to the Western Regions, and their kingdoms were in the northern Xinjiang.

Because of the enfeoffment of the kingdom, Wang Jing prepared three thousand elite cavalry and three thousand expedition athletes for each of them. The family members of the three thousand elite cavalry were more than 1, almost 2 each, and then they went to the Western Regions to entrust the kingdom together.As for the nobles, powerful, and wealthy people who were assigned to the Western Regions, it was half per person.There are approximately 20 people in each of the two feudal states.

With such a large population, by then conquering some northern barbarians or people from the Western Regions, and with the support of the Protectorate of the Western Regions and Zheng and Wei, we will soon be able to gain a firm foothold.

Northern Xinjiang is vast, unlike southern Xinjiang. Except for the oases formed by the melted water of snow-capped mountains near the Tianshan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, and Congling, it is almost entirely a desert.

Although Northern Xinjiang is also arid, it has more grasslands and there is also a big country like Wusun Kingdom.With a population of one million and more than [-] people controlling strings, it is the largest country in the Western Region.

Zheng Guo had always been on good terms with Wusun State in order to prevent them from joining forces with the Huns or sending troops when he went out to fight.

In order to make good friends with the Wusun Kingdom, he and Wang Bo sent a large number of caravans to do business with the Wusun Kingdom.Silk, lacquerware, iron pots, etc. from the Central Plains are very popular in Wusun Kingdom.

Daqian also exchanged a lot of war horses, leather, etc. from Wusun Kingdom.While making good relations with Wusun State, Zheng State also sent many caravans and spies to the west for investigation.

Go back one year.

In March, the 31st year of Daqian's destiny, in the Western Region, northwest of Congling.

Chen Shuo tightened the sheepskin jacket tightly, but it still felt a little leaky, so he used a belt to tighten the sheepskin jacket, and stuffed some withered hay into the jacket.

Then he took off the leather bag from his waist, opened it and took a sip of strong wine. The cold wine entered his stomach, and soon a sense of warmth arose, making his body that was blown through by the cold wind feel some warmth.

Chen Shuo carefully took out a cloth bag from his chest. When he opened it, he found several pieces of dried meat that were as dry as tree bark.Picking up the hard dried meat, Chen Shuo stuffed it directly into his mouth.

The hard dried meat carries some residual heat from body temperature and is extremely tough when placed in the mouth. It is as tough as leather when chewed.Chen Shuo carefully moistened it with saliva and chewed it hard.Gradually, the salt in the dried meat and some meaty flavor slowly spread in the mouth, and finally he swallowed it.

After a long time, Chen Shuo walked out from behind a stone, and then he put two large wooden boards tied with hemp ropes on his back.The board looks like a pair of sled boards.

The cold wind in Congling in early March is bone-chilling, with temperatures as low as ten degrees below zero. Basically no one would climb over Congling at this time.

Chen Shuo, Guo Xing and others ventured across Congling to return to Tingzhou.

From Tingzhou, follow the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, go all the way west, and pass through the Yili River Valley to Suiye City.Suiye City was not big at this time, but the environment here was very good. There were a large number of miscellaneous people living there, and Suiye Water cut this small plain into a mess.

The entire small plain looked as messy as a leaf, so it was also called Broken Leaf City by Zheng Guo.

When Zheng Guo saw this land, he felt that it, like the Ili Valley, was a rare and good place in the Western Regions. In addition, it was located on an important road, so he was very jealous of this area.
