Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 297 Three political forms

In 193 AD, the Han Dynasty was generally peaceful. Every place was busy establishing institutions and had no time to engage in foreign wars.

It would be better to say that they are all holding back their ultimate moves, waiting to be launched next year.

There was only one war between the north and the south. In the north, Zhang He led his army to attack the southern Xiongnu and achieved a brilliant victory.

The main force of the Southern Xiongnu was forced to flee into the desert. Of course, in the eyes of some people, the Xiongnu's orthodoxy was in Jizhou. After all, Qiang Qu's two sons and the left and right kings were all guest soldiers here.

To the south, Sun Ce was of course working diligently. He drove the Shanyue tribes down one by one and eliminated those who did not submit, thus accumulating a large amount of money and materials.

Doing business with Jingzhou through Jiangxia, in exchange for a large number of weapons and equipment, especially [-] war horses.

Sun Ce indeed has the appearance of a king, and he has already opened up the situation in Jiangnan in just one year.

After recruiting a group of Jianghuai talents who went south, and with the help of Zhou Yu, he also won over the powerful people in Jiangdong, and the emperor was finally secure.

If the world were peaceful, it would be difficult for Sun Ce to make a name for himself given his white background.

Sun Jian's son is useless. A white body is a white body. If he does not promote filial piety and integrity, he will at best be a county official or a state official.

It was in such troubled times that he was able to take advantage of the situation.

Seeing that there is no advantage at all, he simply proclaims himself emperor. This decisiveness and courage are indeed admirable.

What really gave him the confidence was that Sun Jian's old troops were back, and he didn't panic since he had soldiers in hand.

In today's world, if you really want to count, anyone can claim to be emperor, but whether he can hold on to his country is another matter.

Looking at the whole of China, there are only two people not named Liu who claim to be emperor: Yuan Shu, who is entrenched in Huainan, and Sun Ce, who is entrenched in Jiangdong.

Not considering the territory of one or two counties in Yuzhou, the two of them combined only accounted for one state.

Look at Cao Cao, he has almost three states in total, and he only supported an emperor named Liu to ascend to the throne.

"To be honest, the world today is very complicated." Zhang He couldn't help but say it while eating, "On the one hand, everyone doesn't want to change the dynasty, but on the other hand, they know that staying the same will not work."

In the past 400 years of development, productivity and technology have improved, and many of the original rules have gradually become outdated.

Just say that under Liu Bei's rule, there were so many high-yielding crops and even chickens and ducks being produced continuously. It was almost impossible for local wealthy families to control food prices.

Nowadays, a large amount of good iron has been transported, and the blacksmiths in Guanzhong have also begun to try to buy large quantities of coal.

This thing is not only found in Bingzhou, it can be found in many places. It’s just about whether it’s easy to dig.

Limited by technical problems, basically only open-pit and shallow coal can be mined.

If it goes any deeper, Zhang and He will have to worry about groundwater backflow or gas leakage.

From the emergence to development of the coal industry, the process cannot be smooth, and it will inevitably be accompanied by bloodshed and various moral corruptions.

Just because he was worried about affecting his reputation, Zhang He decisively quit the industry after he brought it up.

With the rise of the coal industry, many old forces have been impacted, and many woodcutters have changed careers. Reform is an inevitable result.

"Change doesn't necessarily require a change of dynasty, right?" Zou Yu was a little confused.

"No, basically the only way to change is to change the dynasty." Cai Yan and Fu Shou replied at the same time.

From the perspective of aristocratic families, an unchanging system is more suitable for them to make profits from it.

Therefore, as long as a king wants to change, a lot of ministers will jump out and declare that "the family law of the ancestors cannot be changed."

In other words, the resistance from aristocratic families will be huge.

But without reform, the country is doomed to be rapidly corroded and eventually fall apart again.

Therefore, the only option is to change the dynasty, and take advantage of the change of monarchs and ministers. The new aristocratic families are not very powerful, and the old wealthy families have their tail between their legs. This is the best opportunity to make changes.

Otherwise, when these wealthy families grow stronger, they will become the biggest resistance to reform.

To put it bluntly, the cake is only so big. The king, the common people and the wealthy families have to share it.

If the people and the king want to eat more, the only option is to take food from the bowls of the wealthy families.

At the same time, due to the geographical environment of China, the option of 'making the cake bigger' may have appeared before, but was abandoned in the end.

Going north into the grassland, the soil conditions of the grassland are not suitable for farming at all, and the climate is too cold, so it is impossible to go north.

Going east to Lelang County, and even Gongsundu established Daifang County, there are more mountains than plains, and it is ultimately close to the sea.The vast ocean directly blocked the Han's way to the east.

They stopped too quickly. If they defeated Sanhan, they would find that they could reach the Japanese islands through the Tsushima Strait. On the four islands, at least four counties could be built, or even five.

To the south is the sea, and then there are the mountains.

Jiuzhen Rinan has explored it, but they are too lazy to climb over the mountain, otherwise they will find a vast plain on the other side of the mountain.

Going all the way west, you can also enter the Indian plains.

Needless to say, heading west is all desert and Gobi. This situation continues all the way to Daqin.

It would be better to say that after entering Yuezhi, it would be a pity not to continue westward or southward, otherwise we would still be able to reach the Indian plains.

On the other side to the west, entering the Qiang region, there are actually many plains in Tibet. The problem lies here as well. Not everyone can adapt to the plateau climate.

For the people at the time, this was more like a curse, preventing them from continuing westward.

This makes it a fact that "it is impossible to make the cake bigger", so everyone has to compete for a small amount of food in the fish pond.

Once the population reaches a certain level, it will inevitably start to suffer internal strife as resources are exhausted, then become turbulent, and finally change dynasties.

"The focus of next year's work will be to develop the Loess Plateau." Zhang He said casually, "Such a large area can be populated with hundreds of thousands of people if it is fully developed. It is not too big, but at least it can delay the onset of unrest. "

There is a saying, China's population growth, without a little planning, will be really explosive growth.

If the plan is not good, the society will age if we are not careful.

But it can be done in this era, after all, most people die between the ages of forty and sixty.

"Didn't you say that you want to assist third brother in attacking Jizhou?" Cai Yan asked.

"People have been sent to his command, how can we give him command? When the time comes, Gongda will be sent there as a military advisor, and there should be no problem." Zhang He replied, "Let's not talk about the front line. I am the husband of Bingzhou. , it is also our responsibility to govern the place.”

Mainly in Shang County and Xihe County, the subsequent management seems to have been completely passed on to themselves.

There's no other way, you have to spend money everywhere, and Liu Bei doesn't have much money to fund this place...

The Southern Xiongnu who have been pacified, as long as they prevent them from going south, the territory they conquered will not be a big problem even if it is not managed for three to five years.

As long as officials and people are properly arranged, people's livelihood will have the ability to heal itself.

With a little more policy, many people will naturally try their best to develop it, and it can basically be developed in three to five years.

Liu Bei also said that Xihe County and Shang County will be tax-free for three years, which is the greatest help he can give.

"So, what happened to the topic just now?" Zou Yu asked curiously, "Since change requires a change of dynasty, will it have any impact now that His Majesty has ascended the throne?"

"In a sense, His Majesty is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but from another perspective, he is also the emperor of the new dynasty. There are not many mature wealthy families under his command, and they are basically from poor families. Mainly because many things in the court are changing, and everyone I can't hold it back anymore." Zhang He said with a smile.

After a pause, he continued: "It doesn't hurt the other forces. The emperor has no power. Before becoming the emperor, the powerful ministers below naturally tried their best to benefit their families... There are two who are more direct and directly proclaimed the emperor, but It can bring many people from poor families and those who hope to change to seek refuge, and it may not be possible to find a new path."

Yuan is very cunning, trying both conservatism and reform, and whichever one succeeds will be promoted. This is probably the result of internal deliberations.

After all, the 'enemy' is so powerful that they must put Yuan's future first and put aside their personal grudges for the time being.

"The one who can unify the world must be us." Zou Yu shouted.

"In five or six years, let's bring peace to the world as soon as possible!" Zhang He nodded, "If we continue to fight, the people will suffer..."

　The only expansion of territory in the Three Kingdoms was the discovery of Yizhou. Unfortunately, Sun Wu never developed it.

　　It should be said that we initially went there for the population, but we really didn’t find any civilized countries.

　　Sun Wu was also unlucky. He had already sent people to contact Gongsun Yuan, but he planned to seal his family and was captured by 1 people and sent to Wei...

　　If he really goes to Liaodong, and continues walking, to the Tsushima Strait, to the Japanese country, wouldn't there be a vast world for him to fly?

　　How did Sun Quan do it, destroying all his good cards?

　　Taishi Ci died in depression, Zhou Yu could not be reused even if he was not in Chibi, there is no record of the ancestors who are comparable to Taishi Ci, a lot of talents have no news, and the clan members are all turning against him.Zhang Zhao and others who were re-employed would immediately join the surrender faction. Without Lu Su, Sun Wu would probably be gone...

　　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!
　　It's seven o'clock, go to bed, go to bed...
