[Comprehensive] Survival of the Last Emperor

In [-] BC, there were two emperors on the east coast of Qin State...

Donghai girl!It's me, Daqin Liaodong County!

Hu Hai and Ying Zheng were no longer in the mood to look at the sea, so they asked someone to set up a tent on the spot. The father and son nestled in the tent, lying on the table, looking at the map of the 36 counties of Daqin and Liaodong County that they took out.

Liaodong County, about today's Liaoning Province.During the Warring States Period, King Zhao of Yan State set up the county.Xiangping, the county seat, governs the area east of the Daling River in today's Liaoning, south of Kaiyuan City, and north of the lower reaches of the Cheongcheon River in North Korea.But because the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, and the weather in ancient Liaodong was cold and the products were not very rich, the emperors of all dynasties did not care about Liaodong County.Gradually, apart from dynasties such as the Jin and Qing that originated in Liaodong County, which will strengthen supervision of Liaodong County, in other dynasties, Liaodong County is an area that belongs to the central dynasty in name but is actually an area under the jurisdiction of ethnic minorities. .

As for the Bangzi Kingdom, which had always belonged to Liaodong County back then, because there were too many ethnic minorities, the Central Dynasty had no choice but to abandon them and turn North Korea into a vassal state of China. .

Of course, this won't be the case anymore.

In the past, the small foot basin declared that "if you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Bangzi".Today Hu Hai decided to reverse this sentence and change it to "If you want to conquer the small foot basin, you must first conquer the stick".

Daqin was a landlocked country in the early days and never developed shipping.The three or five broken ships in the family were the spoils of war confiscated during the conquest of the Six Kingdoms. Hu Hai didn't think these ships could be transported by sea for long distances—even if they could, Hu Hai didn't intend to use the precious lives of Daqin soldiers to study ancient times. Nautical career.

But it's different from Bangzi Country. To put it bluntly, if you choose a sunny day, you can float to the small footbasin with a wooden board.

"Are you sure...there is so much gold and silver in this place? Such a small island? How could there be so much gold and silver?" Ying Zheng looked at the long piece that Hu Hai drew on the sea near Liaodong County. land, said with a frown.

"There is a saying that goes well, when God closes a door for you, it will open another window for you." Hu Hai seriously recalled the history of gold.

In fact, there is a lot of gold in China, just because China likes to bury gold with it—for example, a large amount of gold looted from Central Asia was buried in the tomb of the Qin kings in the past dynasties. After Buddhism entered China, a large amount of gold was used to make golden statues of Buddha, and the gold gradually decreased.

The history of gold in Xiaojiaodan country began in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the envoys and overseas students sent by Xiaojiaodan had to pay. The currency was gold sand, and the unit was kilograms.As early as the Tang Dynasty, small foot basins were targeted by merchants because of the heroic spirit of the small foot basin envoys, and they called it "the country of gold".

"In this place, nothing but gold and silver is produced underground. On the land, not only are there many mountains and hills, but there are only a few small plains. Basically, there is no farming. It also has frequent earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. "One-tenth of the world's volcanoes are located in Japan, and more than 6% of all the world's earthquakes with a magnitude above [-] on the Richter scale occurred in Japan. "It is simply a place cursed by heaven."

"Then you still want to send someone there?" Ying Zheng looked at Hu Hai in surprise. It is difficult to find people willing to go to such a place with harsh geological conditions.

"I didn't want to develop these places, I just wanted to mine." Hu Hai explained: "Father only needs to send some hard labor and prisoners to mine, and then send an army to guard it. It doesn’t take many people, just send three to 5000 people at random, other places...what do you do?” Hu Hai spread his hands like a rogue, “It’s fine if those savages...don’t come, as long as they dare to come, we Just grab the savages and dig mines together."

"That's it...but going here is far away from home and away from home. Father is afraid that people's hearts will be unstable." Ying Zheng stroked his beard, with some hesitation on his face.

Even though Qin Shihuang was wise and far-sighted, he was a land king after all, with limited vision. If he was asked to send troops to places like Jiuyuan and Baiyue, where the land is connected, he would naturally not be afraid of those troops who would dare to oppose him, but when he was sent to the sea... ...Although there are only three or 5000 people, he also feels uneasy.

"Father, the world is peaceful now. Except for Jiuyuan, my Great Qin will not have any major wars in the next few decades. But my Great Qin started with a military service system. There is no war. What do you want those soldiers who are eager to make contributions to do? ?” The military merit system is useful in times of war, but in times of peace… so many soldiers who are eager to make achievements in war, but can’t find an outlet, what will happen to them?Will he start a war on his own for the sake of merit?

How did the small foot basin in the ww2 period do it?It is because the military has kidnapped the government. The basic model is that the soldiers do bad things first, and then the world is known and shocked. The government is the last to know, just like a wife whose husband cheated.

We want the party to command the gun, not the gun to command the party.

"Father is only worried that no one will go to Treasure Island. We can declare that the army going to Treasure Island can be deployed once every three to five years. Gold and silver, one-tenth of the output goes to the garrison in the mining area. Of course, this money is not for those warlords to show their favor, so even if gold and silver are produced in Treasure Island, we should bring gold and silver from the mainland Go, every time the defense is deployed, the envoys of the imperial court will distribute the gold and silver. One is to send away the old people, and the other is to show the newcomers." Looking at Ying Zheng's slightly dissatisfied expression, Hu Hai knew that he was reluctant to part with this Then he gently pushed Ying Zheng's shoulder and said, "Father, don't be too stingy, you don't want your child to be caught by a wolf."

"Hmph! Even if you can't catch the wolf, I can't let you go! Keep talking!" Ying Zheng snorted coldly, gave Hu Hai a blank look, and continued, "What other plans do you have?"

"The gold and silver production areas in Treasure Island are relatively large-scale, and I still remember where they are, but I don't remember where the small-scale ones are. And the small-scale ones are troublesome and dangerous to find in poor mountains and rivers. , Erchen suggested that you might as well release the news of Treasure Island to the outside world, and then issue the "Daqin Treasure Island Mining License" to the outside world, so that those who want to make a fortune can find it by themselves. The gold and silver mines you find can be donated to the imperial court. Just give them a certain percentage of rewards based on the reserves of the gold and silver mines; you can also let them open mines by themselves and pay taxes to the court in proportion. Although the court gets a little less, it is basically free, and it costs nothing Cost. Of course, if there is any concealment, you are welcome to report it. Once it is found out, all the property of the prisoner will belong to you.” Hu Hai thought of the gold rush in the Bald Eagle Country in the early [-]th century. Isn’t it mostly organized by the people?

As for whether the small foot basin will become a replica of the bald eagle, Hu Hai has never worried about this issue.The Bald Eagle Kingdom is vast and abundant, far enough away from Niu Niu's homeland, and there are artifacts such as potatoes and corn, so those people were able to rely on the favorable geographical conditions to defeat the suzerain and win in the end; where is the small foot basin?A small place is too close to China, and there are frequent natural disasters. It is still not self-sufficient, and the food and vegetables depend on the support of the mainland. starve to death.

"Continue to talk, your vision should not be limited to a treasure island, right?" Ying Zheng stroked his beard and looked at Hu Hai with satisfaction.

He no longer wanted to ask Hu Hai, where did Hu Hai know these things.Anyway, as long as the darling Zai is Ying's surname Zhao's Huhai and his son, it's fine, and he can be confused and pretend to be confused.

"The inside must be settled first! Treasure Island has so much gold and silver, it is natural to transport it through Liaodong County. There are many mountain people in Liaodong, and my father may send troops to clean up here." Hu Hai pointed Liaodong County with his finger, That is, these places in modern Liaoning Province.

Many people think that the ancestors of Jin and Qing were nomads, but in fact, this is wrong.Whether it is the Jurchens or other ethnic groups who have lived in Liaodong for a long time, they are all half-fishing and half-farming peoples. The Mongolian, Khitan, and Huns are the authentic nomadic peoples.

"What do you mean by cleaning?" Ying Zheng used his hand as a knife in a "cut" gesture.

"Father, what are you talking about? Does your son look like this? This is the population, how can you cut it off so casually? Do you not need people for mining? Father, you are going to let the soldiers of Daqin To dig, or send people from the inland? How troublesome and how far away! There is a ready population, why not use it?" Of course, the small foot basin is to deceive the laborers in the northeast to become a miner in the small foot basin, of course we can't be so cruel, " Population resources are very precious. We must cherish the population, not use them to death, and extend their use value as much as possible. Therefore, Erchen suggested that in addition to capturing slaves, we can also recruit local natives from Liaodong County and Treasure Island to work , Tell them that if they can work in the mines, or find mines, Daqin will not only pay them wages, but also give them Daqin's green card after a certain number of years of service... I mean, let them work for me Daqin official subjects of the

Considering that they are all of the yellow race, and the blood relationship has been mixed for several generations, there is no difference in race, so Hu Hai does not have much psychological barriers.

Before the end of the Qing Dynasty, China was a kingdom of heaven. Getting a Chinese green card is similar to getting a green card from the United States in the 21st century. Hu Hai doesn’t believe that brothers from ethnic minorities are not tempted—especially when they are captured as slaves On the one hand, he is a voluntary laborer, who can become a Daqin person after a few years of work. As long as he is not a fool, anyone will choose.

Are minority brothers stupid?They may be relatively simple and not good at scheming, but they are definitely not stupid.
