It is very difficult to change customs. Later generations don't say anything else, just say a ban on fireworks, and don't say whether it's right or not. How many years has it been implemented, there are still people in big cities, and there are still a lot of people. Not to mention the promotion of cremation. In the countryside, you are forced to drag it to the cremation, and people will also hold a big funeral, and then prepare the coffin, put the urn in the coffin, dig a grave and send it up the mountain to be buried.

So Liu Bei didn't think about forcibly changing, but he also made changes. After the imperial court issued an edict to seize the love, Liu Bei Shangshu said: "Since the Han Dynasty Emperor Ling, the princes have risen together and collapsed to this day. Fortunately, thanks to the Son of Heaven Mingde, the ancestors were blessed, and the counties of the world returned to the Han family. Only Jing and Yi are lonely and hanging outside. The minister's name is Hanchen, and he is also a clan, although he was mourned by his mother, his heart was broken. I don't dare to live up to His Majesty's grace and ignore the family business of my ancestors. I am willing to keep a funeral at home and govern affairs at home. The son of the minister, born to filial piety, is willing to go to Youzhou on behalf of the minister and guard the tomb for three years. May Your Majesty be convened. Goodbye to the minister. ”

When the watch arrived at the imperial court, the Son of Heaven replied: "Yes." ”

So Liu Jin, the son of the king of Zhongshan, went to Zhuo County on behalf of his father and guarded the tomb. At the same time, Liu Bei's secret letter came to Liu Gong again, asking him to be optimistic about his son. Liu Bei spent a lot of effort on the cultivation of his eldest son Liu Jin, who is his future successor, so from the aspects of conduct, ability, words and deeds, personality and other aspects, he will carefully observe, and then conclude whether it works or not.

If a huge empire in the future does not have a good person at the helm, then how can it be done? What is the point of what I am doing now?

The war continued for many years, and although the north had a bumper harvest, it was also difficult to supply a huge army. It just so happened that Liu Bei decided to serve the funeral in the house, so he calmed down and decided to put some things aside first. And some other things can be pushed forward first.

In the north, millions of people were requisitioned and began to build a galloping road to the outside of the fortress. Taking advantage of the fact that Xianbei was swept away by the Han army and the grassland power had not yet flourished again, the Han people began the crazy mode of grassland development.

From the surrendered city to Jiluo Mountain, and then from Jiluo Mountain to the Xiongnu River, Xihai, Yanran Mountain, and then to Wolf Juxu Mountain, the galloping road is like a jade belt, winding and stretching on the prairie. The roadbed rises high above the ground, and the sides of the road are planted with drought-tolerant poplars. Chidao connects large and small cities.

These cities were small in the beginning, and their main role was only to serve as military fortresses. There will be some troops stationed in it. The location of the city was carefully selected by the imperial court. There is an abundance of water nearby, which can be used for grazing and farming. In terms of food, try to make the army self-sufficient. The imperial court would also recruit border people to migrate here, and those who were willing to come would get large tracts of pasture and land. Land rent and calculation can be reduced or reduced according to conditions, up to five years. The conditions are too good to be true. Some people who have lost their land and cannot survive see the official documents of the government, so they do not hesitate to drag their families and go to their new homes.

They don't care where they are or how far away they are. Anyway, as long as there is a Han banner flying high, there is Han soil. If it's Han soil, they won't be afraid. It doesn't matter if the conditions are tough, nothing is more important than surviving.

At the confluence of the Tula River and the Orkhon River, a city was built; Cities were also built at the confluence of the Orkhon River and the Selenga River. Eventually, these rivers all converged, churning and gushing, and flowed into the North Sea.

This is where Su Wu used to shepherd sheep. The Han Chinese are no stranger to this place name. Even though it's far from home, it's still cold. But everyone was still blown away by the scenery.

The endless lake, the blue waves are surging, and there are faint islands in the lake. In the sky, herons fly up and down, above the water, wild ducks swim, and fish jump out of the water from time to time. By the lake, there are patches of reeds. It's a quiet and peaceful view, and it's charming to the extreme.

Just on the high ground to the left of the delta by the lake, a great city rises from the ground. The city is five zhang high, thirty miles around, and is stacked with boulders and three-way soil juice.

At the gate of the city in the south, the three characters of Zhenyuan City written by Zhong Xuan are tall and simple, vigorous and powerful. Outside the city near the lake, there is a stone tablet of a zhang high, with four big characters on it: Yongzhen Beihai. Behind it is the chronicle of the founding of the city written by Kong Rong.

Liu Bei decided that in his hands, Beihai would gradually come under the control of the Han Dynasty, and then slowly and completely become an integral part of the Han Dynasty.

Here in Beihai, in addition to the weather is a little bad, in fact, the resources are very rich. The surrounding land is arable and pastureable. Moreover, with such a large area of water, fishing alone is enough to feed the soldiers and civilians stationed here.

As for defense, Liu Bei stored enough weapons, food, and explosives to last for half a year. If something really happens, half a year is enough for reinforcements to arrive. If he can't hold out for half a year, his last resort to stay here will also make the enemy here unpleased.

To the west, around Danhan Mountain, Rao Leshui, the construction of the city also began. Liu Bei wanted to devour the grassland step by step and completely turn the grassland into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

In the past, the Han people were not interested in the grassland, believing that they could not farm there and that the climate was not suitable for living. It's useless to come. But Liu Bei didn't think so. However, if you want to completely change the impression of people in the world, you have to take your time.

The prospecting brigade of Qingzhou Academy has already set off with the large army. Escorted by the army, they were like locusts, digging holes in the vast grassland.

Many scholars who were intoxicated with things were mobilized, and under countless demagogic slogans, they were fooled into the prairie to drink the wind and eat the soil. Study the origin of the world.

Half a year later, the discovery of large-scale open-pit coal mines and copper mines on the grassland was discovered, and no one in the imperial court complained, complaining that Liu Bei's insistence was a waste of manpower and material resources. Rather, it is to praise Liu Bei's foresight.

The importance of coal goes without saying. The ancients have always used it. Since Liu Bei arrived in Qingzhou and used a large amount of coal to build blast furnaces to make steel, coal has gradually become an important living material in Qingzhou and even in the north. It is not only used for smelting, but also for heating on a large scale.

Liu Bei had long considered the issue of soil and water conservation. After the war, the population of the north gradually returned to growth. At this time, people cook and keep warm, and most of them go out to pick. No matter how many mountains and forests there are in the north, they can't withstand the massive deforestation of people. Therefore, the introduction of coal instead of firewood, even if it is only used in the city, is a great step forward in the protection of vegetation.

As for copper, the Han Dynasty and even China have always been a country lacking copper from ancient times to the present. Once upon a time, there was no copper coin, only iron coins. In the north, there are very few copper mines. Until the Qing Dynasty in later generations, the copper used by the imperial court to cast money came from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places. It is now Yizhou.

Now Yizhou is in the possession of Cao Cao. Comrade Cao, the old man, dug there with a hoe and made a lot of money. Fortunately, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, large copper mines were also discovered in Xuzhou. Otherwise, Shaofu, Jiangzuo and other departments will really cry.

And the discovery of large copper mines in the northern steppes is not stingy for the empire. The north is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the terrain is flat and convenient for transportation. Unlike Yizhou, if copper wants to be shipped out, it can only be transported to Jingzhou by water. This is the reason why Jingzhou Nanyang was the foundry center of the world from the pre-Qin to the Han Dynasty. Because the raw materials will pass through the Yangtze River, down the river, and arrive in Jingzhou. And Nanyang is the closest to Luoyang, so it naturally became a foundry metropolis. One of the five capitals of the world.

However, behind Nanyang becoming a foundry center, who knows how many ships will capsize and swallow up how many materials and lives will be swallowed up in the Three Gorges every year? The officials who served as escorts in later generations were even worse than being exiled for 3,000 miles. Exiled for 3,000 miles, there is still a way to live. If you sail on the boat, the slightest mistake is a dead end. Even if you are lucky enough to escape, if the fleet you lead capsizes a few ships, the court will routinely ask for guilt.

Now there is copper in the north, and it is a large copper mine that is extremely easy to mine and transport. How did this dislike the imperial court? This will be in everyone's knowledge. Copper equals money. It's wealth.

At this time, no one objected to Liu Bei's proposal to expand to the north. Instead, they eagerly asked, is the vast grassland in the north allowed private trading?

When the first person asked this sentence, Liu Bei couldn't help laughing. Copper mines and coal mines, he didn't know how much effort it took and how much time it took to find them. Before the massive expansion to the north, his men were already operating in the steppes. Copper and coal mines have also been discovered for a long time. Now he is just cooperating with this trend and releasing the news.

Human desire is the driving force behind social development. He just wanted to let the officials know that there was great profit to be made in the north, so that the eyes of the Han people would not be bound by the existing territory. Heroes, civilizations, great Han people, it's time to go out and see the world. Instead of thinking about the little land in his house every day.

Land is fundamental, and agriculture must not be wasted. But the giant ship of the Han Dynasty had to continue to develop and move forward. Agrarian civilization alone is not enough. Because of the war in the north, many landlords and heroes died, crippled, and their vitality was greatly damaged. But at the same time, a large number of emerging nobles are rising with Liu Bei.

In order for these people to be less greedy for the land. Liu Bei had no choice but to try his best to get them to shift their goals. Go to the grasslands to mine and graze in the grasslands. The profit you earn is far better than buying a lot of land and farming.

Liu Bei quickly made a reply, saying that the grassland was too vast, and the imperial court would not be able to develop it for a while. Officials and citizens may be allowed to purchase land for prospecting, farming, grazing, and other rights. However, if a mineral is found, it must not be concealed and must be reported to the imperial court as soon as possible. And the imperial court has the full right to acquire mineral resources.

Officials and nobles don't care, if they find minerals, they don't sell them to the imperial court, but to whom. You can't eat or drink this thing. Now that there is the imperial court, they have no taboos. Liu Bei knew that the grassland was a big pit, and he was afraid that no one would buy it, so he simply bought half and gave it away, and sold a large piece of grassland as a cabbage price.

If you get nothing, you can't do anything wrong. They didn't spend much anyway. This money can be recovered by the buyer even if he farms and grazes there. No, they can still pass it on to future generations as ancestral property.

As for some vague impressions of high-quality plots, Liu Bei held them in his hands. These places, even if they don't get anything now, he won't sell them, and some places don't just look at the commercial value.

At this point, the grassland began to enter a climactic period. Liu Bei believed that the future nobles would work with his heirs to protect the grassland and protect their property. In this way, the peoples on the grassland will basically never be able to turn up any storms again.

In the past, it was the Han people who didn't want it, so the peoples on the grassland were able to claim the king and hegemony. Now that the Han people are here, who can still jump?

On the Liaodong side, Liu Bei sent people to rebuild the city in Jixian County, Guangyang County, which has always been the station of Youzhou Thorn Shifu (Youzhou Mu), an important military town in the north. After a thousand years, it will become the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It shoulders the heavy responsibility of resisting the attacks of the northern nomads and guarding the country.

This place, in Liu Bei's scale, will be the future Youzhou Governor's Mansion. Liaodong will be based on Jixian County and continue to advance northward. Completely wipe out and recover the rest of Liaodong. It is said that the two sons of Gongsun Du didn't know where they ran around. These two boys hooked up with Gao Jian, the second son of the king of Goguryeo, and encouraged the king of Goguryeo to raise troops to commit crimes.

As a result, under the blows of Lu Zhi, Huang Zhong and others, the king of Goguryeo died and the country was destroyed, and the end was extremely bleak. It's just Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong, but they can't be found. From time to time, there are rumors that the clouds are in Buyeo, or the clouds are cautious. But none of them are true.

Over the years, Liu Bei has had more and more things, but he has also forgotten about these two people. Now that I suddenly think of the matter of Liaodong, I can't help but think of the names of these two people.

Liu Bei felt that these two people were not mediocre people, and they would definitely not die quietly. I'm afraid I'm hiding somewhere, chic and happy. Since you are ready to start the Great Liaodong, it is easy for people to find out these two guys, which can be regarded as a matter of concern.

The fundamental purpose of developing the grasslands and developing Liaodong was to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty and thoroughly incorporate the vast territory into the territory map of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, vigorously exploit all the resources of the grassland and Liaodong to enrich the material supply of the Han Dynasty, which was conducive to the social stability of the Han Dynasty and made the rule of the Han Dynasty more stable.

Liu Bei believes that in this development boom, there will be many officials, people, and aristocrats who will benefit from it. This will radically change their thinking. While there is a greater desire for land, the dependence on arable land will be greatly reduced.

They will no longer only buy land for farming, and will no longer rely solely on agricultural production for added value to land. Emerging mining, cash crops, etc., will become their new source of income.

The winners of these benefits will become his die-hard supporters of Liu Bei. When the empire needs to make the next round of military expansion. They will stand up and agree without hesitation.

Imperceptibly, decades or a hundred years later, won't the Age of Discovery come ahead of schedule?
