Emperor Liu Hong

"You are an official of a big man, but you don't make decisions for the people of a big man. What do you think I want you for?!" Liu Hong became more angry as he spoke, and kicked the local official several times in the past.

"Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down!"

Seeing that Liu Hong was in a hurry, the official hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.And the other officials who accompanied him also felt that it was not a thing for the emperor to beat up officials in public, so they all stepped forward to persuade them.

Don't look at Liu Hong hitting someone, but his tone didn't come out.You know, because of the influence of his previous life, he hates this kind of official who doesn't distinguish between inside and outside.

"When an official does not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes! An official like him who does not make decisions for the people, we big men must not use!"

"Yes, what Your Majesty said is true." After hearing Liu Hong's words, the other officials nodded one after another, but that official sat down on the ground and couldn't get up again.

Liu Hongli ignored that official. He knew that the big man has always had a tradition of deceiving his superiors and his subordinates. Now that this one is exposed, and those that are not exposed, it is uncertain how serious it is.Therefore, he directly asked the people next to him: "Is this Changsha barbarian just an isolated phenomenon, or are there still many among the big men?"

As soon as Liu Hong asked this question, all those officials would look at me and you, and hesitated and refused to say more.Seeing these officials like this, Liu Hong became annoyed.

"Why, what can't you tell me?!"

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, there are still many such things." Seeing Liu Hong wanting to be impatient, Jia Xu stepped forward and said, "Don't talk about other places, just in the Jing and Hunan areas there are Changsha Man, Wuling Man, Lingling Man, Jiangxia Man, etc., if you add other places, such as Banzhu Man, Wuhu Man, Southwest Barbarians, etc., there will be ten or twenty of them."

"Made, there are ten or twenty?!" Hearing this, Liu Hong was startled.You must know that even if there are only a few thousand members of these foreign tribes, there must be tens of thousands of them.What's more, for these foreign tribes, it is absolutely impossible for a tribe to have only a few thousand people. "Why are there so many barbarians? Didn't I order and issue a mission a long time ago. Have those mercenaries arrest these barbarians?"

Hearing Liu Hong's question, Jia Xu quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the mercenary management regulations of our Han Dynasty only allow mercenaries to carry out such armed tasks outside the country and in areas that have just been occupied. Therefore, these are in the hinterland of our Han Dynasty. The barbarians who mixed with our Han people have not been cleaned up."

"That can't be done!" Liu Hong said: "Don't you all say it? How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch! In the hinterland of our big man. There are so many hidden dangers. If we don't get rid of them now, are we still waiting to raise them?" Tigers are infesting!"

"Yes, what Your Majesty said is true." Jia Xu quite agreed with Liu Hong's statement.But he thought for a while, and asked again: "But Your Majesty. These barbarians are different from those foreigners. They have lived in our hinterland for generations, and have mixed with our people for a long time. If we don't distinguish them all and get rid of them, I'm afraid it will happen." caused a great shock.”

Liu Hong thought for a while.What Jia Xu said was true.Due to the long history of living together, many barbarians have actually been sinicized. It would be a pity if people like these were eliminated together.

"Well, let's do a thorough screening in our Han territory first, no matter what Dongyi, Xirong, Southern Barbarians, and Beidi are, as long as they are foreigners in our Han territory, one counts as one, and all of them are thoroughly investigated." Looking at Jia Xu who kept nodding his head , Liu Hong continued: "Since many of these foreigners have already mixed with our people. Therefore, I will give them a chance to choose. If they are willing to join our Han people and become Han people, then they will be completely beaten. Scatter and distribute them to various places, so that they can fully integrate into our big man."

"What if they don't want to, Your Majesty?"

"I don't want to? If I don't want to, it will be easier to handle. We big men are short of labor everywhere, so we just caught them all as slaves." At this point, Liu Hong smiled, "I just feel that we have traveled this time. The canal is a bit short. After they were captured as slaves, the northern end of the canal was extended to the Weishui River, and the southern end to the Lancang River. In this way, the water channel from Jiaozhou to Jizhou will be completely opened up."

"Your Majesty said so." Hearing that Liu Hong wanted to extend the canal, Jia Xu felt that it was necessary. "The current canal is designed according to the territory of our Han Dynasty. Now Jiaozhou in the south and the prairie in the north are already separated." It is completely merged into the interior of Dahan. Such a canal seems a bit short. If we extend the canal to completely connect Jiaozhou and grassland, the development of our Dahan will definitely be more rapid."

"Yeah, both the north and the south are the granaries of our great Han. If there is no canal to connect them, and only rely on land and sea transportation, the transportation will always be inconvenient. Originally, the railway is the best way to solve this problem. But the construction of railways is limited. Due to the production of steel, the speed cannot be increased. In this way, it is not as cost-effective to use these free labor to build canals.”

The officials next to him were all dumbfounded now.They watched Liu Hong and Jia Xu singing and singing together, but they couldn't figure it out. Didn't they study the conflict between barbarians? Why did they come to the Yanchang Canal?

A minister next to him looked at Liu Hong who was secretly complacent, and boldly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with the situation here?"

After being reminded by the minister, Liu Hong remembered that he hadn't dealt with the matter here.Liu Hong looked at those barbarians, and said directly: "Whoever is in charge of these barbarians, bring him here."

Before Liu Hong finished speaking, a strong man with his upper body bare, wrapped in animal skins, and with bird feathers on his head was brought in front of him.

"You are the leader of Changsha Man?"

Facing Liu Hong's questioning, this man seemed very arrogant, and said without caring at all: "I am their leader, Emperor Han, if you have anything to do, just tell me."

"My god, this guy is like a leader. If nothing else, he has enough confidence!" Seeing this guy like this, Liu Hong smiled, "You are now living in the hinterland of our big man. You Do you think that your tribe is the people of the big man?"

Hearing Liu Hong's words, the leader said calmly, "Emperor Dahan, we are Japonica people, descendants of Panhu. This is our territory, and we have lived here for generations. You are just intruders. How can we Maybe it's your people!"

Looking at this guy, who is still stubborn until now, Liu Hong shook his head for a while.But this matter, after all, is related to the fate of a tribe, Liu Hong is willing to give them another chance, so he said to the leader: "You don't think about it anymore? Why don't you discuss it with your tribe again? "(to be continued...)
