Chapter 414 The best way to expand the Han territory: build bridges and pave roads

The structure of the world began as early as when Qin Shihuang swept through the six kingdoms and defeated Baiyue.

It has been completely settled.

After all, most places are very suitable for farming.

The subsequent dynasties developed these barbaric lands bit by bit.

With the blood and sweat of countless people, it was completely included in the category of Han soil.

This is also the reason why the later dynasties received more taxes.

When Zhu Bai heard this, he immediately drew inferences and said, "Then, when the Ming Dynasty completely civilizes the land of Yunnan and Guizhou, won't there be another large area of ​​traditional Han land?"

You know, because of the Song Dynasty, the land of Yunnan and Guizhou was once out of the control of the Han family.

If it weren't for the sudden rise of the Ming Dynasty, they drove away the cruel and ruthless Bei Yuan and wiped out the Yungui rebel army.

Mu Jiayong was also sent to control the land of Yunnan, completely cutting off the disobedience of many chieftains.

I am afraid that such a large area of ​​land will be separated from China like Annan.

"As I said, the land of the Han family will continue to change as time goes by."

Lin Che gave Zhu Bai a look of praise.

Then he pointed to the outline map of the Song Dynasty that he had just drawn.

He snorted and said, "If the current emperor of the Han family lives up to his ambition, then the land of the Han family will continue to expand."

"But if it were as weak as the Song Dynasty, its so-called homeland would be nothing more than a foreign race's horse farm."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did have big problems in some decisions.

But with his help, he conquered the territory of Shanhaiguan and other places that had been lost since Shi Jingtang.

It was once again included within the scope of the Han family.

These achievements alone were enough to offset his bad decisions.

"Sir, it is easy for the Han family to reduce their land, but how to increase it?"

When Zhu Bai heard Lin Che taking the Song Dynasty as an example, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible that we can only wait a few hundred years for the land to be suitable for farming, as you said, before the imperial court develops it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and others in the secret room also concentrated their attention.

After they just heard about the theory of the limits of the empire's territory, they all felt a sense of enlightenment.

We all also understand why many previous dynasties first spent money to appease border issues.

Instead of directly summoning an army to wipe out the rebels here.

In the past, they had a concept similar to appeasing the rebels and not sending troops to annihilate them anymore.

But it is just imitating the old wisdom of the previous dynasty. Know it but don't know why.

Under Lin Che's guidance, Zhu Yuanzhang and others gained a more thorough understanding of territorial issues.

At the same time, they also became more and more concerned about how to expand the Han Dynasty's homeland.

Lin Che, who was next door, faced Zhu Bai's expectant gaze.

The answer was given directly: "This matter is simple, just four words, it is to build bridges and pave roads."

"what?"

Zhu Bai didn't quite understand.

How does the expansion of Han Dynasty have anything to do with building bridges and paving roads?

"Have you forgotten so quickly the issue of the limits of dominance I just mentioned?"

Lin Che clicked with her index finger on the map drawn with wine on the table that was still wet.

He coughed and said: "Back then, the Qin army swept through the six countries. In addition to the military merit system that made the soldiers fearless of death, they also had more advanced military systems and weapons."

"The biggest reason is that wherever the Qin Dynasty conquered, it would build the Qin Straight Road."

"Whether it is marching or transporting food, it will be very efficient, and the loss of food will be less than that of the Six Nations." In ancient times, victory was based on dangerous fortresses.

Marching speed means being one step ahead of the enemy and taking advantage of the terrain.

Seize the opportunity to win.

Secondly, the loss of the grain transport team is less than that of other countries, which means that the army can support it for a longer period of time.

These two formed the cornerstone of the Qin Army, which swept the world that year.

Simply looked at the two students.

After describing the role of the Qin Straight Road, Lin Che couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that since the Qin Dynasty, no one has built highways like this for military purposes."

"Even the so-called official doctrine is just based on walking on the road and patching it up."

"I have never thought about whether this is the best way forward after the changes of the times."

Including the official system of the Ming Dynasty, as Lin Che said, it was just a patchwork on the road of the previous dynasty.

No one has thought about planning a new road that is more suitable for traffic.

Zhu Bai reluctantly understood what Lin Che meant by 'highway'.

But he somewhat disagreed with what he said: "Sir, road construction will cost a lot of money, if the old roads are not repaired."

"And as you said, create a 'Ming Straight Road' within the Ming Dynasty."

"I'm afraid the court doesn't know how much money it will cost and how many people's bones have returned home."

After hearing Zhu Bai's lies, Lin Che did not refute, but followed his words and said with a smile: "Haha, you are right, it does cost a lot to build new roads."

"If the Ming Dynasty hadn't produced such talented and courageous economic talents as Liu Sanwu and Fu Youwen."

"I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty's finances will collapse due to Emperor Hongwu's several northern expeditions and expeditions to Mobei."

"But these people can solve the military spending problem, but because of their limited vision, they don't know how to find money to build roads."

As soon as these words came out, the two bastards here had no reaction.

Liu Sanwu, who was in a nervous mood in the secret room next door, could not express his excitement when he heard Lin Che mention it.

He never thought that he and Fu Youwen were just trying their best to keep Ming's finances from collapsing.

To be able to get such a high evaluation from Lin Che.

You know, in the eyes of everyone now, Lin Che is no different than an immortal.

And in his mouth, it seems that he has crossed the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the current Emperor Hongwu is praised by his countrymen, he is also scolded a lot.

But Liu Sanwu received extremely high praise the first time he appeared in Lin Che's mouth.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao feel like they had found a treasure.

Liu Sanwu himself directly regarded Lin Che as his confidant.

He wished he could climb over the wall right now and become Lin Che's disciple, so as to make up for the 'vision' he lacked.

After Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, he immediately took Liu Sanwu's hand.

He began to win over people's hearts and said: "Liu Aiqing, you have worked really hard in charge of the imperial court's finances for so many years. We..."

A classic scene of a monarch and his ministers harmonious is about to be staged.

Lin Che, who was sitting next door, seemed to have suddenly thought of something funny, and added: "You were wrong just now. If the current Holy One wants to cultivate the 'Ming Zhi Dao'"

"According to Liu Sanwu's character, he will indeed beg for bones, but he is not a deserter, but wants to retreat in order to advance and act as a remonstrance."

"But according to His Majesty's style, he will definitely be imprisoned in a rage like the previous Kongyin case."
