Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

And not only that, these people are not simply from the Han people of China, but at the same time, there are actually many people from the original Baiyue nationality.

After surrendering the Great Han Kingdom, he also made contributions to the Great Han Kingdom.Therefore, it was officially recognized by the Han Dynasty and allowed them to relocate to these plain areas to set up villages and cultivate fields.

After hearing these behaviors, Zhao Kuo nodded in approval.

"It doesn't matter who he is, as long as he is willing to submit to our Great Han Kingdom, he is eligible to become my people. However, this kind of integration into the Great Han Kingdom is not unconditional. They

They must learn the language and characters of our Dahan, and must be assimilated by the culture of our Dahan. If they cannot do this, they will not be able to obtain our

Do you understand the identity of the Great Han Kingdom?

Don’t worry that you will be punished if you fail to make a call. In fact, I also know that some people in China are hard-nosed. What you have to do is to find that people in a certain village are difficult to assimilate.

When the time comes, move our army out, and let our army use swords and muskets to educate them on the necessity of integrating into the Han Dynasty. "

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, the local magistrates were obviously relieved and nodded, expressing their willingness to obey His Majesty's orders.

For Zhao Kuo, he could actually tell from these actions and words that some magistrates seem to have made up their minds, and they should take action after Zhao Kuo leaves.

Take some mandatory action.

For this phenomenon, it is actually happy to see it happen. If you want to rule a place, softness is essential, but majesty is the most important thing.

After all, from this era, the Great Han Kingdom is not the aborigines of this place, but the conquerors from outside. As a conqueror, you must have the majesty of a conqueror. This is your position.

Decided.

Of course, just listening to the reports of these local officials, it is impossible for Zhao Kuo to fully understand how far this place has integrated into the Han Kingdom, so

Zhao Kuo also randomly dressed up in disguise on the third day of departure, and then chose a small village just passing by on the road, and brought Mao Sui, Lu Buwei and a few guards to a wave

Weibo private visit.

Why was this small village chosen by Zhao Kuo?In fact, the answer is also very simple, because Zhao Kuo can see that the scale of this village is not large, and they are cultivating land.

Some of the farm tools used at the time were not too skilled.

Zhao Kuo walked towards the villagers who were working in the field. The villagers quickly realized the arrival of Zhao Kuo and others, and they straightened up one after another, watching Zhao Kuo with some vigilance.

Zhao Kuo raised his hands with a smile, and said to the villagers in front of him: "Don't worry, I'm a passing businessman, and I want to see if there is anything in your village.

It is more suitable for me to sell the goods. If there are any, everyone can make some deals. What do you think? "

Zhao Kuo has always liked to use the identity of a businessman when conducting private visits on Weibo, because the Han Kingdom is a society with relatively developed commerce, and businessmen are usually relatively well-known in all walks of life.

It is more welcome, and it can also explain very well why Zhao Kuo, a person with an obvious foreign accent, appears in these places.

But this time Zhao Kuo discovered that the identity of a businessman actually brought him an accident.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's self-introduction, a middle-aged man said to Zhao Kuo in a rather inexperienced elegant language: "You businessmen can only deceive people. Last time our village

people have been cheated by you once, now you want to do it again?Get out of here quickly, or we will be rude. "

After Zhao Kuo heard this sentence, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then smiled again and said: "Don't worry, we are businessmen from the government.

If you have a government certificate, you can write down this certificate, he will not make a fake. "

After saying this, Zhao Kuo took out a government businessman's certificate from his arms, this certificate is definitely genuine, after all, Zhao Kuo has always been particular about acting

To do a full set, all kinds of details are also full when the Weibo private visit is done.

After seeing Zhao Kuo say these words and take out the certificate, the faces of the people present obviously improved, and the middle-aged man said suspiciously: "You are really from the government.

person? "

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Of course we are people from the government. In fact, you can also think about it yourself. If you are not from the government, who would come here at this time?"

If you want to do business in such a place, you must know that doing business in the northern Central Plains is much better. We are also under the order of the government, so there is no way.

And to tell you the truth, in fact, when we do business, we also have to take into account the role of inquiring about local people's sentiments.

You can tell us, and we can also pass it on to the government to have a look and give you a more satisfactory solution. "

After hearing Zhao Kuo finished speaking, it seemed that these villagers believed Zhao Kuo completely, and then the middle-aged man said: "If you can deceive us with the previous

If the bad merchants in the world are caught, we will really believe you. "

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo glanced at Mao Sui next to him, and Mao Sui immediately nodded, expressing that he would thoroughly investigate this issue.

Zhao Kuo sat down on the ridge with a smile and said, "Come on, come on, tell me what kind of problem you encountered?"

Only then did the middle-aged man tell what happened. It turned out that several businessmen passed by here a few months ago. They took a fancy to the sheep in these villages, so they took out a

A sum of money was used as a deposit, saying that as long as the sheep were sold, the money would be returned and returned to the villagers.

These merchants are quite good at talking, and their tongues are trembling, so the villagers believed it, and took 200 sheep to these merchants. Who knew that the merchant would never come back.

More than two months have passed since the agreed time without any news.

After Zhao Kuo heard the story, his heart settled down instead, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, 200 sheep is not a small number. When the time comes, we will tell the officials

Report to the government, the case should be solved soon.Then again, since you all know that you may have been deceived, why don't you report the case to the government?is worried

Is the government not upholding justice for you? "

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, the middle-aged man couldn't help showing an embarrassed expression on his face and said: "It's not that I'm worried that the government won't uphold justice for us, the main reason is to pick 2

00 sheep, how can such a trivial matter bother the adults in the government? "

After Zhao Kuo heard this sentence, he was also stunned for a while.

Good guy, is 200 sheep a trivial matter?

Chapter 1302 Going south to Guangzhou

After hearing what this middle-aged man said, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but laugh. After all, in Zhao Kuo's opinion, for any village, 200 sheep should not be said in such an understatement.

The middle-aged man obviously also noticed Zhao Kuo's expression, and said very calmly: "Actually, you may not know that we used to raise sheep professionally in the mountains, so after moving out of the mountains, we can still breed sheep here. A large number of 200 sheep is indeed a large number for our village, but it is not to the point of breaking the bones."

Zhao Kuo's heart moved slightly, and he said to the middle-aged man in front of him: "Can sheep be raised in such a mountainous area? I thought that only grasslands can raise sheep."

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "That's why you don't know it. Although I haven't been to the grassland you mentioned, it's like us sheep, which can grow on the mountains. So we call it the goat."

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh, and said with a smile: "It's indeed a goat, what you said is correct, I was negligent.

Well, after a few days, those merchants who invested in your goats should also find out.

I will continue to go south first, and when I come back, if the matter is resolved, we will continue to chat, what do you think? "

The middle-aged man's expression was quite calm, but after listening to Zhao Kuo's words, he also showed a look of hope, and said to Zhao Kuo: "Of course this is no problem. If you can really help us If those sheep come back, then I will let you taste our lamb, which is very delicious."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said to the middle-aged man in front of him, "Then we've made a deal."

After saying this, Zhao Kuo also smiled and waved goodbye to the surrounding villagers, then left the village with several ministers and guards around him, and returned to the carriage on the main road.

After returning to the main road, the expression on Zhao Kuo's face became serious, and he said to Mao Sui in front of him, "Find out these fraudulent businessmen as soon as possible, and I want to see who they are. Who is so daring, within the territory of our Han country, even the people of our Han country dare to cheat."

Zhao Kuo was indeed quite angry at this time. For him, the entire Han Kingdom was a commercial society, and the most important thing in a commercial society was of course to abide by the contract.

If every businessman is like these guys, if everything they do is cheating, abducting and failing to abide by the contract, then the business activities of the Great Han Kingdom will be greatly disturbed, and even seriously cannot continue to operate.

Zhao Kuo absolutely does not allow this kind of thing to happen, especially those who have been deceived are these foreign people who have just left the mountains and came to the plains to surrender to the Han Kingdom.

Just imagine, there are still a lot of natives living in the mountains. If they all heard about the experience of these guys and felt that they would only be deceived after moving out, then who would continue to surrender to the Han Kingdom? Woolen cloth?

This is even a matter of a country's credit.

That's why Zhao Kuo came out with such a harsh tone, asking Mao Sui to find these liars as soon as possible by way of order.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Mao Sui naturally gave the order immediately to ensure that these liars would be caught in the fastest time.

Mao Sui is still very confident, because 200 sheep are quite a large number, and no matter who brings 200 sheep to the market, it will definitely leave a deep impression on the passing locals.

Since it can leave an impression, it is very easy to track down, not to mention that the intelligence department is very good at this kind of work of tracking clues in the dark market intelligence, which can be said to be a very professional counterpart.

Zhao Kuo sat in the carriage and soon returned to the main force.

But obviously, after this episode, Zhao Kuo was not in a very good mood. He put on a thoughtful expression all the way, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Yiquwei soon discovered Zhao Kuo's unhappiness. As a straightforward concubine, her reaction was also very direct, that is, she threw herself into Zhao Kuo's arms.

"Why is Your Majesty so unhappy?"

Facing Yi Quwei's question, Zhao Kuo smiled, and then gave the answer.

"I'm actually thinking about what happened just now. You said that in this land of the Great Han Kingdom, how many people are still being deceived by these hateful guys?"

Yiquwei was also very angry after listening to the story relayed by Zhao Kuo.

"These people are really disgusting. They don't want to make money in business, but they think about cheating and abducting all day long.

Your Majesty must punish them well, otherwise, if others follow suit, would it be worth it? "

For Yiquwei, the Yiqu country she lives in was actually a very vulnerable country back then.

After all, the Yiqu country is not considered a member of the Chinese civilization, so when the Chinese vassal states make transactions with the Yiqu country, they will more or less follow the transactions of their own people in China, so fair and upright.

Since Yi Quwei has encountered this kind of thing, of course it is impossible to remain indifferent. It can even be said that if Yi Quwei is responsible for handling this matter, the methods may be more severe.

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile and said: "Don't worry, I have already explained this matter, and there will be a satisfactory answer there soon."

After hearing these words, Yi Quwei felt relieved, and continued to lie obediently in Zhao Kuo's arms.

Zhao Kuo suddenly felt a little hot in his body. He felt the delicate body of the beautiful woman in his arms, and after thinking for a while, he pressed down on it without hesitation.

Although still on the way, Zhao Kuo felt that the sound of the wheels of the carriage, the sound of the horseshoes of the nearby guards, and the sound of the soldiers walking should be able to drown out everything.

………… In general, after Zhao Kuo inspected the entire territory of Hunan, he was still in a relatively happy mood.

Back then, the State of Chu actually controlled the plains in northern Hunan, and had only nominal control over the mountainous areas in southern Hunan and western Hunan.

But the situation is completely different for the Han Dynasty, because the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty did not just come here, but went to the Guangdong and Guangxi regions further north, that is, the Lingnan area, so this place has become a Han Dynasty instead. country's rear.

Since it is already in the rear, of course it also has to enjoy the treatment of a wave of rear, which is why it is relatively peaceful here, because after the army passed by here, all the tribes who dared to resist have already been wiped out. All of them were wiped out.

Looking at the lush forests on both sides of the road, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

"These places are good places. We must firmly control them. We must not let any foreign race occupy here and continue to threaten the Central Plains of our Great Han Kingdom."

For any country, the bigger the country, the better. One of the biggest benefits of a vast country is that it can provide depth to the country. Just like the mountains and hills in front of you, it is difficult for the enemy army to travel long distances. of these places.

Even taking a step back, future generations will be useless in the future, and have to cede territory as in the Qing Dynasty. Then the Han Kingdom, which has a large amount of land, can at least cede more, so it can survive for a longer period of time.

This is just like Poland in history. Since it was only a small country, it was said that after being divided up by others, it perished in minutes. It was not until after the World War that Britain and France forced Poland to establish an enemy for Germany. Restoring the country again.

The Manchu Qing was different. Since the territory of the Manchu Qing was too vast, no one of the imperialist powers could swallow such a large piece of territory alone. Therefore, the Manchu Qing was able to sign a large agreement on various ceded territories. After a series of treaties that humiliated the country and humiliated the country, it survived until it was overthrown by the Revolution of [-].

What Zhao Kuo has to do now is to expand the territory of the Great Han Kingdom infinitely, and provide infinite possibilities for future descendants, no matter whether this possibility is success or failure, but at least the stage is set up for them .

As time passed, the weather started to get hotter.

The endless hills and forests on the side of the road have replaced the plains and become the latest things in sight.

By this time, everyone will know that the Wuling Hills have arrived.

The reason why people are used to calling Guangdong and Guangxi Lingnan is because of the many mountains and hills in front of them.

The hilly terrain here spreads from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the west to the east, all the way to Fujian and Zhejiang in the east. It can be said that it is the most common terrain in the south of the Han Dynasty.

This is why the Chinese civilization originated in the Yellow River Basin, because there are a large number of flat plains in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River Basin, which has the conditions for the cohesion of a civilization.

Places like Wuling are full of mountains, lacking cultivated land, and the high mountains make the population relatively scattered. They don't have the conditions to gather together to form civilization, and can only slowly accept the radiation of civilization.

But Zhao Kuo knows better that Lingnan will be completely different after the rise of Haiyang.

This place has unique ocean conditions, and it is the most convenient gateway for the Chinese civilization to face the South China Sea. Therefore, when the Chinese civilization and other national civilizations are connected through the ocean, Lingnan will become the most convenient place.

History tells Zhao Kuo that as long as the sea transportation is convenient, he will eventually develop, so why Lingnan became the South China Sea Fleet, the base is here, because Zhao Kuo needs to use the fastest speed to preemptively control this area, as well as the sea area .

Thinking of looking at the overlapping hills and forests in front of him, Zhao Kuo suddenly felt that this place is indeed quite good.

But Yiquwei didn't have such thoughts, she looked at the hills in front of her and yawned a little bored, and said to Zhao Kuo, "Why did we come to such a boring place?

Your Majesty, I think it's not as interesting as the last time I went to Jiangnan. "

After Zhao Kuo heard this sentence, he couldn't help laughing, and said to Yiquwei very affirmatively: "You don't think it's interesting now, but don't worry, after you go to Lingnan, there should be some Something that interests you."

The army walked all the way south, and the weather became hotter and hotter. Some soldiers began to get sick due to the unbearable climate here.

But for Zhao Kuo, he is fine. After all, it is not like he has never been to these places in his previous life. Hainan Island can withstand the heat, not to mention that he has not yet entered the later generations, the really hot place in Guangdong.

After half a month's journey, Zhao Kuo finally climbed over the mountains and entered the impact plain of the Pearl River Estuary.

Here, a new city called Guangzhou has already been listed.

At this time, Guangzhou is only an insignificant small city in the Han Kingdom, but it already has a prototype of a city, and this one is developing at a speed that everyone can't expect.
