Wu Nian held his head high and told everyone present his plan of co-reigning two emperors.
The people who knew him originally had calm expressions.
Those who didn't know were dumbfounded.
Split the throne into two. In other places, they don't know if there are. But this has never happened in China.
As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country.
But after the stunned people calmed down, they didn't object.
Very simple.
If Wu Nian split the throne into two parts, he would create the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China. Then everyone will object.
Now Wu Nian wants his prince, his legitimate son, to inherit his throne in China.
Let the concubine's eldest son, King Qi, lead his own troops to conquer Central Asia, claiming the title of Emperor of Qi. This territory is already outside China's traditional sphere of influence.
From a patriarchal perspective. The prince inherited the throne from Wu Nian.
The king of Qi separated his family and established his own family.
Moreover.
They have followed Wu Nian for many years and they all know one thing. China's land is limited, but its population continues to increase.
One day, the number of Han people reached the limit that the land could bear. It will lead to all kinds of turbulence, maybe "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is standing."
"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed."
In the last years of the dynasty, it was not just a matter of land annexation.
There are two ways to solve the problem. One is to develop science and technology and improve land utilization. With one acre of land, we can grow several times more food than before.
Some hybrid rice, hybrid wheat, etc.
The imperial court has begun to enclose the land for experiments.
Not to mention the glass greenhouse, which has mature technology now. Letting the land grow vegetables in winter is a ready-made technological force.
The second is immigration and occupying more land.
Every year, a portion of the people are selected and handed over to the King of Qi to explore Central Asia and establish the State of Qi. It would be good for the Han Dynasty.
Wu Nian waited for everyone to calm down, then raised his head and said to Zhang Hong, the governor of the Western Regions: "Master Zhang. As the governor of the Western Regions, you are aggrieved for the time being. Rule half of the Western Regions first."
"Wait for the son of the widow to conquer Central Asia and consolidate it. Then you can rule the entire Western Region."
"The Ili Valley area will be left to him for the time being."
"Yes." Zhang Hong responded with clasped fists.
Wu Nian nodded, stood up and said: "This place in the Western Regions is said to be governed. In fact, it is immigration. I decided to wait for the strong Turks to complete the construction of the main principles, and then disperse the Turks with families to China. Life. Cut their ethnic group into pieces so that they cannot maintain their own language and folk customs."
"Give them to the King of Qi, widows who have no family members, even widows whose men have died, and some women who have reached childbearing age, and give them to Han soldiers as concubines. Aren't the babies they give birth to Han?"
"I have arranged for the Turks, and the Western Regions have been vacated. Immigrants from Shanxi, Gansu, and Shaanxi came to the Western Regions. Not only ordinary farmers, but also gentry, businessmen, etc. were moved. The entire Chinese society and folk customs Move them all here. Give them some tax-free policies, build more schools, and promote Chinese studies."
"Over time, the Western Regions will become traditional Han lands."
Having said this, Wu Nian showed a smile on his face and said: "The timing is good. In these traditional places of the Han Dynasty, under the governance of a few people, the society is healthy and the population is growing. There are many people."
"The population of the Three Han and Liaodong regions has gradually become saturated after years of immigration. The imperial court can completely free up its hands to immigrate to the Western Regions."
"yes."
Everyone bowed in response.
Policies are all top-down. The existence of an emperor means unlimited concentration of power. There are disadvantages and advantages.
In addition, Wu Nian was the founding king and the immediate emperor, and his prestige was unparalleled.
All the ministers and workers in the entire Han Dynasty revolved around Wu Nian's will. As long as he wants to do something, he will definitely carry it out.
There won't be any resistance.
One generation does one thing.
What Wu Nian wants to do is to destroy more countries and occupy more land for the Han Dynasty in his lifetime.
On the one hand, he did light corvee and little tax in the Han area, nourishing the people and increasing the population.
On the other hand, the people were relocated to the land they conquered.
Three steps.
Land was laid, roads were built, and people were relocated.
Afterwards, Wu Nian talked about immigration with Zhang Hong, the governor of the Western Regions. For example, they immigrated to Burqin, Karamay, Turpan, Urumqi, etc.
How much land is available for farming and how much land is available for grazing locally? How many people can be supported should be investigated first, and then immigration can be carried out.
After talking a lot, Wu Nian's mouth felt a little dry. He raised his head and said to everyone: "This is the Western Region. A luminous cup of grape wine."
"There are also songs and dances full of Western style."
"King Zuodu left everything to me."
"Come here. Pass the meal. Let's sing and dance."
He raised his head and spoke loudly.
"Yes." The inner guard outside the door responded loudly, turned around and went out. Soon after, wine and glasses were brought, as well as Western-style delicacies.
and orchid musicians.
Wu Nian occupied King Zuodu's land, took in King Zuodu's population, drank King Zuodu's wine, and watched King Zuodu's singers.
Everyone ate and drank for half an hour before the banquet ended.
The generals, civil servants, and governors did not dare to neglect, and immediately started work after returning. The Overseer of the Overseer, the Overseer of the Overseer who built the road.
Beware of the Turks. Beware of the Turks.
Everyone does his own thing.
According to Wu Nian's will, he worked enthusiastically.
Wu Nian also has Wu Nian's work.
rest.
This long march had exhausted him. Wu Nian, surrounded by eunuchs and imperial guards, came to the bedroom and lay down. He raised his head and said to a eunuch: "Let Catherine come in and give me a massage."
"Yes." The eunuch bowed in response, turned around and went down.
After a while, Catherine walked in from the outside with a submissive look on her face. She has blond hair and blue eyes, fair skin, delicate facial features, and a figure different from that of a Chinese woman, tall and plump. But she is wearing the clothes of a Chinese woman.
She has a charm that is different from ordinary people, and she is outstanding even in Wu Nian's court.
But now she is just a foot-washing girl.
She was originally in Gansu. Wu Nian attacked the Western Region day and night, and she advanced slowly under the escort of guards.
I just arrived in Urumqi yesterday, when I was tired from the journey.
I started working part-time today.
She was full of dissatisfaction in her heart, scolding the dead emperor, the stinky emperor, but her body was very honest. Under the eunuch's watchful eyes, she walked to the bed, took off her shoes, got on the bed barefoot, and sat on Wu Nian's plump buttocks. On the waist, began to massage vigorously.
Wu Ninzhi was so proud that he not only had enough food, but also drank wine. It was the time when he felt sleepy.
Under her care, he slowly fell asleep.
