Vol 5 Chapter 138: The beginning of a big era

Chapter 138 The Beginning of the Great Era
Yunlang never read or listened to the diplomatic rhetoric. This thing can only be interpreted by professionals. If people interpret the diplomatic rhetoric according to their own ideas, there might be a big deviation.
I don't know who these words are for.
If these words are for the emperor, there is absolutely no need to make it so obscure. If a stupid emperor is encountered, it may cause bad things. Is n’t this pitting oneself?
If it is for the ministers, those fox-sophisticated ministers have already understood the meaning of the lines in the words. It is better to speak the vernacular, and everyone saves some time.
If you rule out the above two types of people, then you will have to lie to the fool people.
When Bo Wanghou Zhang Qian fled from the Huns, his family also suffered a great deal. His family thought he was dead, and there were many terrible misunderstandings, one of which was about his wife.
Zhang Qian didn't care, but at last he was overwhelmed with water. The emperor felt sorry for Zhang Qian, so he gave many beautiful women to Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian took only one, and the rest was returned to the emperor.
At that time, it was the sixth year of Yuanshuo, and Yun Lang also participated in the wedding as a young man.
I saw the tired Bowanghou.
At that time, Yun Lang understood the great forerunner very well, and it was understandable that a person who had walked thousands of miles would be appropriately tired.
But I don't know. At this time, Zhang Qian has sent four messengers to advance from southwest to body poison.
Just because he was in the distant country of Dawan, he actually saw the Shu cloth produced in Shudi and the special bamboo sticks there.
At that time, Liu Ling was just a concubine of Lao Shanyu. The Huns were still powerful. The Qiang people were still vassals of the Huns. He had no way to go to the Western Region through the land of the Huns.
Therefore, I tried to find a way from other places. As a result, these four messengers did not achieve their goals, but miraculously figured out the geography and road of the southwest.
Next, the greedy Liu Che dispatched his own armor ... looted Dian and Yelang.
Next, the more greedy Liu Yue took more people and entered the southwest, completely calmed the southwest, and left five counties such as Fat Ke, Yueli, Shenli, Wenshan and Wudu to Dahan .
After the destruction of Dian Kingdom, Yelang and other countries, Zhang Qian was originally planning to go through the southwest bypass to Dawan and other countries to continue his mission of connecting the Western Regions.
As a result, in the preparation process, Huo Qubing won Hexi, Wei Qing defeated the Huns in Longcheng, and the Huns were forced to migrate north.
At this time, the road from the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions was completely opened, and the impatient Bo Wanghou left Changan with two thousand fierce entourages, preparing to dig into the Western Regions and open up territory for the Hans.
The eyes of diplomats are generally vicious.
This time, Bo Wanghou took another fancy to Wu Sunguo, the largest kingdom in the Western Regions. He felt that Wu Sunguo should submit to the Han Dynasty!
As a result, there is the last way to cut off the friendship between Wusun Kingdom and the Huns.
Although every word in Bo Wanghou ’s document describes good-neighborliness and friendship, Yun Lang ’s eyes do n’t know how long it is. He actually saw one word after another from the gorgeous words. .
Su Wu became the regent king of Yanqi. This is very illustrative. The geographical location of Yanqi is right in the back of Wusun Kingdom ...
At this time, the Great Han Kingdom can be said to be full of talents. Gongsun Ao and Li Xi set off from You Beiping and approached the Beihai all the way.
After starting from Mayi, the super army with 300,000 Weiqing troops fanned across the vast grassland, all the way north.
Huo's disease-ridden Tieqi set off from Yangguan and went straight on the most desolate land. The goal was still north ...
General Lou Yang, the general of the building and ship, was hollowing out the Great Han Kingdom south of Merlin.
Instead of stopping at this place in Panyu, Lubode ’s horseshoe chose to march southwest. It is said that there is also a land called Jiaozhi that is rich in products ...
This is where Yun Lang fears Liu Che ... He sent almost all his strength, and he took his wife to stay in the empty Chang'an, waiting for his general to make extraordinary achievements for him.
Push him to the highest peak of the world of God.
Brave people are generally gamblers. When everyone is worried about Liu Che, only Yun Lang sighs in the dark night, because he knows-Liu Che won the game. He was disappointed!
When the Han team fights abroad, the people in China generally will not rebel. The people who set a precedent for rebellion in foreign wars are precisely the Liu family, which is the Jinbei king Liu Changxing who has killed the life of Princess Huaihua!
Therefore, at this time, Liu Che became more ruthless and more vicious towards the Liu family.
It's only four months since Yun Lang left Chang'an. Liu Che has killed two relatives and won two titles of kingdom.
One is the King of Sichuan, Liu Ming, and the other is the King of Jindong, Liu Pengli. They are both sons of King Liang Wu of Wu ... crime-great disrespect!
Since the two kings were killed, the rest of the sovereign monarchs have left their own kingdom, came to Chang'an to pay respect to the emperor, and keep filial piety for Emperor Jing who died for many years.
These things are news from the Changping faction.
Whether it is Changping or Gillian, I think that at this time I want to have a birthday in a few days, the best place is in the army.
The royal families are hard to protect by themselves, and the nobles who stay in Guanzhong are not as good as dogs.
Zhangye is a good place, without Zhang Qian to explain more, Yun Lang has long heard of Jin Zhangye and Yin Wuwei.
The armpit of the empire is naturally a good place for lush vegetation. After the snow of the Qilian Mountains is melted, this desolate place is moistened. If someone is willing to work hard to manage it, it will be a good place to live in peace within ten years.
With the example of Wuwei County in the front.
As soon as Yun Lang came to Zhangye, there were countless Qiang heads who took out their treasured heads of the Huns in exchange for the opportunity for their nephews to go to Beijing to study.
Now it's time for Yunlang to enjoy the fruits of the national vendetta.
The construction of Zhangye ’s fortress city began on the first day of his arrival. After a hurried month, Ganzhou City, a perimeter and two miles of more than 30,000 Qiang people working day and night, was built.
The Heishui River meanders through the city outside Ganzhou. This city, backed by snow mountains and facing the Heihe River, has prospered since it was built.
In Hexi, Ganzhou is a rare place suitable for farming. This place has the most Qiang people, and its main business is farming.
It is also the place where the Huns value most.
For many years, the taxes imposed by the Huns on the Zhangye Qiang people are unreasonably heavy, and the fertile Liangtian who wants to eat a bite is not available. This is the true portrayal of the Zhangye Qiang people.
"What was the tax set by the Huns before?"
Yun Lang closed the wooden tablet sent by the Qiang headman, and the names of the people were densely written on it, and Yun Lang saw a headache.
"Seven out of five!"
Dongfang Shuo, who had read these books, reported it out.
"Then change to 50% tax collection."
Dongfang Shuo glanced at Yun Lang and said: "The tax is implemented in the Han Dynasty!"
Yun Lang shook his head and said: "In the future, the tax will be reduced to ten tax one, but it is not possible now. The tax rate will be reduced to ten tax one in advance. People here do not believe it.
Our tax laws for them cannot be lower than their expectations too much, if they are too low, we cannot win the trust of the people.
It would only be cheaper for those first-timers, so it ’s better to set it at the second tax one, even so, it is already much more benevolent than the Huns ~ EbookFREE.me ~ For the Han State, a wealthy Zhangye County is the country Harmful, half of the tax will allow the Qiang people here to have enough to eat, but not too fat, resulting in ambitions that should not appear. "
Dongfang Shuo frowned: "The Qiang people are people who are ready to be accepted by the dynasty. They are too harsh, and they may cause disasters."
Yun Lang pointed out that the Qiang headman outside who was waiting for him to announce the tax rate said to Dongfang Shuo: "You go and ask them what the expected tax rate is, that is, what tax rate they can accept.
After you have asked, we will proceed to formulate. "
Dongfang Shuolong looked at the Qiang headman who was full of expectations and said: "Your truth is really weird. You always have to ask if it is right or wrong. I don't believe it. They will take the initiative to set high tax rates for themselves!
After speaking, Dongfang Shuo hurried out and returned without much effort. He took a sip of tea in his seat and thought to Yunlang after thinking for a while, "Liu Cheng!"
Yun Lang nodded and said, "It's similar to what I guessed. Now you go to declare tax rates for them and charge 45%!"
"Huh? Why did it drop?"
"You tell the group of headmen again that they can charge a fifty-five percent tax on the people, and the extra will be attrition."
Dongfang Shuo froze for a moment and said, "You are encouraging corruption."
Yun Lang didn't continue to explain, and waved: "Go ahead."
With a sigh, Dongfang Shuo came outside the big account and announced the new tax rate for Zhangye County.
Sitting in the big tent, Yun Lang heard cheers from outside and shook his head fiercely, frowning, and he was too kind.
To Dongfang Shuo, who just entered the door: "Send masters to the Jingtie Mountain, nine hundred miles away, smelt qualified iron ingots as soon as possible, and build more Yuanshuo plows, distribute them to the people, and tell them that this is the emperor of Han Dynasty. Gift! "
