Han Shizu

Chapter 1154 Come to the Great River Again
It took a full four days for Emperor Liu to meet the Henan officials who were summoned one by one. During the whole process, he was a listener, recorder, and investigator.

Facts have proved that the past exchanges of memorials were like separated mountains, and through direct communication with these local officials, Emperor Liu also had a clearer understanding of the governance status of Daozhou prefectures and counties in Henan. combined.

But no matter what, Emperor Liu enjoyed the process very much.Emperor Liu is a very close and down-to-earth monarch, but he has been in contact with high-ranking officials all the year round, and there is a certain disconnect with the states and counties below. Emperor Liu's way of understanding this country.

And for these officials who grew up in the local area and haven't heard the sound of the sky for a long time, it is a rare opportunity.In front of the emperor, it may be once in a lifetime to speak freely, show one's talents, and express one's policy and ideas.

Of course, the opportunity is here, and there are very few who can grasp it.Some things, just imagine it. If you want to win the favor of the emperor, you also need the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people. However, Emperor Liu has been in power for so many years. Policies never thought about how easy it would be to win his favor.

However, among the two hundred or so officials, there were still a few that made Emperor Liu look at them differently.These people are not so quick minded or amazingly talented, but they have a deeper understanding of the emperor's governance thoughts and treasure opening strategies.

Through investigation, it is known that these few people, unlike most officials, will more or less add some of their own ideas while administering the government. They just strictly implement the imperial court's philosophy and policy.

This is very much in the favor of Emperor Liu. Over the years, Liu Chengyou has seldom let others teach him how to govern the country and control the people. What he needs is a group of people who can completely obey his will and act in the direction he points out. people who do things.

Just as no official was dealt with during the whole process, Emperor Liu also did not directly promote those he liked, but just let someone record it, and this record will become a great help for their future career promotion.

After meeting the Henan officials, Emperor Liu held a royal banquet to entertain everyone, and after some encouragement, he let him go back to his post.It means that they do not want to let the chief officials of the states and counties be out of office for a long time.

In Licheng, Emperor Liu did not stay for too long. On April [-]th, the royal driver set off and headed eastward. The chief envoy Li Hongwei accompanied him and patrolled Ziqingdenglai all the way to the bay.

Emperor Liu had seen the magnificence and vastness of the big man long ago, and this time it was not to listen to or watch the sea, but to inspect the East China Sea Division.

The navy of Dahan on the coast was originally based in Mizhou, but after Pingnan, the main force moved to Laizhou, and the target was obviously Liaodong across the sea.

By the fifth year of Kaibao, the navy of the Han Dynasty had also formed a system. Although compared with the army, it was still raised by the stepmother, but with the care of Emperor Liu, the development was still considerable.

The inland navy is basically deployed in the Jianghuai area, while the outer navy, with sea ships as its main warships, is divided into two parts, most of which are in Laizhou, controlling and patrolling the northern waters, with a strength of [-].The rest will be arranged in Fujian, led by the naval general Zhang Yanqing, who is now following Liu Guangyi to fight Liuqiu across the sea. Perhaps the good news will come when Emperor Liu patrols the Yangtze River in the south.

Laizhou Bay is probably the most prosperous seaport in the north of Dahan today, and the connection with Liaodong, Korea and even Japan basically passes through this place.

When Emperor Liu inspected the harbor, he found that, without knowing it, Laizhou was also a place where foreign races gathered, merchants of various races, political figures who took refuge, and a large number of ordinary people who floated to the sea to make a living.

Unknowingly, the attraction of the great Han to the people of all ethnic groups in Northeast Asia has reached a very high level.After seeing it with my own eyes, I just realized that the most direct reason for the sudden increase in the population of Denglai in recent years is that there are a large number of naturalized people here.

Emperor Liu drove around the city, cleaning the streets and cleaning the market, and all the barbarians were excluded. However, when the imperial driver passed by, all the people and others bowed to the ground, kowtowed, and muttered endlessly. The most devout worshipers worship the gods.

Hu Yin spread all over Denglai. This scene also caused some controversy among the accompanying ministers. Some people thought that this was a distant man since his prestige spread all over the world, and it was a manifestation of the good governance of the great Han.Some people still adhere to the idea that if they are not of our race, their hearts must be different, and they feel that these barbarians should be vigilant and controlled and suppressed.

This wave of discussion even reached Emperor Liu's side.As for Emperor Liu's attitude, it is also very clear, those who can be educated by Hu people will be accepted, and those who are not convinced by Wanghua will be rejected.

Regarding the issue of the Hu and Han, Emperor Liu could see it clearly. As long as he was strong, the barbarians would be subject to him, but if the country was weak, the barbarians were not the only ones who would cause chaos.

However, on the surface, it shows a kind of inclusive and inclusive attitude, but in private, Emperor Liu's instructions to the Denglai government still need to strengthen the control of the barbarians, and the standards for the issuance of household registration must be improved.
At the same time, let Wu Desi's people monitor the Dengleihu people to a higher level.From Emperor Liu's point of view, among these barbarians, spies from other countries are absolutely indispensable, especially spies from the Liao Kingdom.

In Laizhou, Emperor Liu stayed for five full days. Apart from inspecting the navy, he also received local sages.By the way, please also invite those nobles who originally planned to settle here.

For these Ding'an survivors, the imperial court did not treat them too differently, and properly arranged for them.Of course, the large amount of wealth brought by these people also played a certain role in promoting the development of Denglai.

In addition, I learned from the conversation that these people have been assimilated so badly that even after only a few years, they have completely dispelled their desire to restore the country, and began to enjoy the comfortable life in the big Han. They actively naturalized, and every family changed their Chinese surnames Chinese name.

In fact, Ding'an is not a country at all, but an alliance of Bohai survivors. Therefore, it can be expected that this group of Bohai survivors will be completely digested by the big man sooner or later.

After inspecting Laizhou, Yujia turned to the south and inspected Mizhou and Yizhou. He consciously speeded up, but due to geographical constraints, he couldn't speed up.

Unable to bear it, he changed his route and went westward to Yanzhou, and took a trip to Mount Tai. Instead of enshrining Zen, he just performed a sacrificial ceremony.Emperor Liu's intentions are obvious, as a preparation for his return in the future. At the same time, it has to be said that Mount Tai is really not high, and Emperor Liu has no experience of climbing Mount Tai and making the world small.

After that, they went south to Xuzhou, crossed Suzhou and entered the Huai River. When Emperor Liu arrived in Chuzhou and joined the waterway camp led by Shi Shouxin, it had already entered May.

This time around, I walked very slowly, probably half of the purpose was for relaxation.For Huaidong, Emperor Liu revisited his old place again. He went south along the canal, and what he saw was naturally a scene of prosperity.

Stopping from time to time, and reminiscing about 15 years ago, the iron horse Jin Ge who personally conquered Huainan, slamming Fang Qiu, although his main footprint was in Huaixi.

Stopping and stopping, when Yujia arrived in Yangzhou, it was already late May.Yangzhou was the southernmost point he had traveled to at the beginning. This time, Emperor Liu could finally cross the south of the Yangtze River with great fanfare, cross this natural moat, and actually set foot on the land of the south of the Yangtze River.
