The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 535 Ruining everything about Weining

According to Wei Qing's estimation, it won't take long for them to develop and build on this land.

Following this, more and more attention will be focused on this place, and because Li Ju came to South Vietnam with five thousand soldiers and horses, Sang Hongyang and Lu Chongguo also came to South Vietnam together.

With such a big movement, it is impossible to say that there was no reaction from Chang'an.

Wei Qing felt that the Han Dynasty court would definitely send spies to South Vietnam to find out the situation, so he suggested that they start setting up a group of secret intelligence agencies now.

This group of intelligence agencies does not need to go elsewhere, as long as they can closely monitor this northeastern city of South Vietnam.

Wei Ning was convinced and said to Wei Qing: "Uncle, I'll leave this matter to you."

Wei Qing nodded and said, "Okay!"

……

During this period, the Han court was in dire straits, and so was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The domestic economy began to continue to shrink. When the Zhengxi drove Tian Qianqiu and other 50,000 soldiers out of South Vietnam, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, and he kept threatening to counterattack the Zhengxi court.

But after so long, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still didn't take any action, not because he didn't want to, but because the economy couldn't keep up.

As Li Ju left Sichuan and Shu, several towns in Sichuan and Shu had been completely occupied by Sichuan and Shu barbarians, and the situation in the west became critical.

The northwest is still holding on under Wang Hui's protection. At present, the domestic economy cannot be said to be developing, and it continues to stagnate, and the people are living in dire straits.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had more and more things to worry about, not only to restore the glory of the powerful Han Dynasty, but also to develop the domestic economy.

What troubles him even more is undoubtedly the issue of heirs.

Although he has stopped taking drugs now, his condition has not been relieved. His body is getting worse, so he naturally has to consider the future of Dahan Jiangshan.

But now he no longer knows who to choose to inherit his empire.

The most suitable candidate at present must be Liu Ju, the son of him and Wei Zifu.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not train Liu Shi as his successor before, and it seems a bit late to train him now.

But no one was more suitable to be the heir to the Han Dynasty than Liu Zhi, which forced Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to reinvest his attention and energy into Liu Zhi.

Now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has begun to consciously adjust the three provinces and six ministries and promote as many talented people as possible.

Even if you are on your knees, you have to wipe your own ass for the sins you have committed.

The local county governor in the southeast wrote a memorial saying that a large number of merchants in the southeast were smuggling and cooperating with the South Vietnamese.

South Vietnam smuggled and transported all the precious red sandalwood to the southeast, and southeastern merchants obtained large amounts of profits.

However, not long after this memorial came up, the county governor who wrote the memorial in the southeast died inexplicably.

Obviously, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty realized at this time how terrifying the interest groups in the southeast had become. For the sake of money, they dared to kill even the court officials?

And how could the South Vietnamese think of doing the lumber business? When the country was wide open in the past, the cooperation between the Zhengxi imperial court and the Han Dynasty was limited to food. I didn't hear that he wanted to do the timber business?
Liu Quyou is now the only person Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can discuss matters with. Now Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has promoted him from Minister of War to Zhongshu Ling.

Liu Qumo thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, this may not be Zheng Xi's handwriting."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not Zheng Xi's work? Whose is it?" Liu Quya thought for a while and said, "Sang Hongyang."

Only Sang Hongyang has the ability to run the economy of South Vietnam, and Sang Hongyang has now entered South Vietnam.

Is he really helping Zhengxi deal with the big man?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shuddered a little because he knew that it was not only Sang Hongyang who was dormant in South Vietnam, but also Wei Qing and Gongsun He.

These people are not ordinary people. What makes Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty most helpless is that he now has no ability to mobilize troops to fight against South Vietnam.

The current economy of the Han Dynasty no longer supported Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to start any war.

There are already flames of war in various places inside the country, and there are countless civil rebellions. If an external war is launched, the precarious Han Dynasty will most likely face a total collapse.

"What exactly do they want to do?"

"Help Zhengxi to deal with me? Are they going to counterattack the big man?"

Liu Quyou thought it was possible.

After the death of Prince Wei, the seeds of revenge must have been planted in Wei Qing's heart. The uncle, the prince, loves the prince more deeply than you, the father.

And because you personally forced Prince Wei to death, he, as an uncle, will definitely do something for Wei Ning.

He is entrenched and developing in South Vietnam, probably just to fight back one day.

If Wei Qing personally mobilized the army, the big man would really not be able to find anyone who would be Wei Qing's opponent.

Now it was even more difficult for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because what he wanted to focus on defense was no longer the Allied Forces of the Northwest and Western Regions, but also South Vietnam.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even felt that the threat from South Vietnam was more powerful than that from the northwest!
One Wei Qing is enough to match the entire Western Region Alliance Army!
I just don’t know when Wei Qing will take action. If Wei Qing does take action... the consequences will be disastrous!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to the outside world: "Go and inform the Detective Department and ask them to infiltrate into South Vietnam quickly and investigate for me, quickly!"

"Here!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Liu Quyou again: "Now that the country's economy continues to be sluggish, how should we improve it?"

Liu Quya suggested that we should make a fuss about salt, iron and wine. In the past, these things were state-owned. With the exception of iron and salt, could we relax the restrictions on wine.

In other words, this wine will no longer be exclusively owned by the state. The state can sell part of the wine-making power to private businessmen. In a short period of time, the court will receive a steady stream of fiscal revenue.

This can be regarded as fishing in a dry lake, not a solution. As for what impact it will have on the Han Dynasty in the future, Liu Quya doesn't know.

But if the current crisis cannot be overcome, how can we talk about the future?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rubbed his forehead in pain, although he knew that this was not a wise choice. Giving up the wine to merchants would only increase the greed of merchants, and might even disrupt the market. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already experienced this once.

But now he wants to have stable money, and the country cannot cope with this crisis unless it comes up with something to sell.

We cannot continue to exploit farmers. The most helpless thing is that the social form of the Han Dynasty has completed the transformation from agriculture to business.

Sometimes Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reflected on whether Weining's social changes were wrong. If we were still an agricultural society, we would not be so short of money.

If the country is short of money, all it takes is the poor farmers. Now even if you want to peel off the skin of the farmers, it is impossible, and you can only focus on the shrewd businessmen.

But then I thought about it, when Weining was still there, when the country was still stable, the merchant market did bring more money than the agricultural market. Unfortunately, he personally ruined everything Weining had created!
