Chapter Thirty-Nine: There Are Too Many Sages in the East China Sea

It is conservatively estimated that the natural dry marine timber in the north can be used normally for five to ten years, just because the emperor "patrolled" Liaodong, in order to "give gifts" to the emperor, all kinds of brain-opening "dry wooden houses" can be seen everywhere in Liaodi. A large number of seagoing vessels of about 500 stone and 1,000 stone were spread along the coast of the Korean Province in the southeast, south, and west directions within two years.

A small delta like the mouth of the Nihe River would not have been operated in the past, but after the emperor went out for two years, the area of the mouth of the Nihe River opened up about 400,000 acres of land, mainly to provide food for the emperor's servants.

The sheer number and scale of tuntian undoubtedly exceed the local needs of Chosun Province.

Niu Jinda, as the head of the Korean Provincial Army, after receiving the emperor's will, gave up scraping the ground in the Korean Provincial Road, and instead coerced a large number of servant troops to prepare for the southern crossing of the Whale Sea.

Autumn and winter, the cold wind in the north is bone-chilling, and the risk of fighting in the south is extremely high, but in the same way, the difficulty of the Fuso countries to organize forces to resist in this bad weather is equally terrifying.

This is stuck in a season when grain has just been stored, and once the grain storage is used, it will affect the spring ploughing of the next year. What's even more lethal is that the manpower required to resist the front is uncapped.

People of insight in Fusang know very well that if this wave cannot be stopped, it will be "the death of the world".

"King Bin thinks who can be the head of the Whale Sea Road?"

"Your Majesty, the Fusang countries are complex, similar to the Western Regions, so it is better to set up the capital and protect the mansion first."

"The Fusang small court minister Su I clan was assassinated, and his country was full of vendettas, if you don't take advantage of the situation at this time, it will be repeated in the future, and it will also be a trouble."

After listening to the boss's words, Ma Zhou pondered for a while, after autumn, the face saints can sit on upholstered chairs. At the mouth of the Yalu River, there are terraces, and there are several styles of warm pavilions. There are those with stoves, those with fireplaces, and those with kang heads. When the emperor was in a good mood, he crossed his legs directly on the kang, and then had a drink with the minister, which was regarded as a sign of closeness.

In today's situation, the risk is not inside or outside, Ma Zhou knows this, and the emperor also understands it. It's just that the risk is not as high as the pattern of the late Sui Dynasty, and the industrial and commercial trade that has emerged on both sides of the Yangtze River is certainly full of crises, but it is extremely sweet.

Up to now, the north and south of China have never been more "you have me, I have you", which made the central court, which originally wanted to reconcile the separation between the north and the south, a little stunned, and some crying and laughing.

The goal was achieved, but not in the way they wanted.

In order to maintain the new estate, and at the same time to continue to crack down on the local families and prevent the annexation of the noble land, there are only a few directions that the emperor can find and a very high return.

Compared with the difficulty of competing for the market with Wuhan, it is still faster to directly plunder precious metals through violence.

In view of this, even though Emperor Li knew that this was a bit of a game of fire, he still raised the treatment of middle- and lower-level officers and even retired officers.

While packaging the acts of war, the concepts of "China" and "Han Chinese" were reinforced among the lower-ranking officers and government soldiers from top to bottom.

This is not what Emperor Li wants, because even if there is only an order of magnitude of middle and lower-level officers, after strengthening the "clan", it will naturally weaken the "imperial power".

Originally, "China" belonged to the emperor, but when the middle and lower-ranking officers were proud to have been born in "China", they would think that "China" also belonged to them.

Regardless of whether they were subjective or not, they all took away a part of the ownership of "China" from the emperor.

It's just that the means that Emperor Li can think of, which is effective and can be played for several generations, seems to be to cede the ownership of "China" a little bit at present.

At the moment when the emperor was still the "Son of Heaven" and when he was still an example for the common people, middle- and lower-ranking officers did not dare to touch "China," but preferred to expand "China," because the corners and corners of the expanded "China" would not disturb the "Son of Heaven" when they were picked up.

As for whether the purpose of expanding "China" is to package it as "a precursor to the king" or to "make a fortune," it all depends on how much appetite these emerging "Chinese" people have.

For King Mabin, he didn't know how big the appetite of the soldiers was, and he didn't know how big the appetite of Niu Jinda, Yu Chigong and other giants everywhere was, but he knew how big the emperor's appetite was......

The emperor wanted to eat a fat man in one bite, and his mouth was full of oil, delicious and juicy, and he was full of burps.

In the past, to deal with the Turks, they had to constantly divide, attack, garrison, and migrate, and finally under the military suppression of Wei Chigong, they changed the living habits of the grasslands in the north and south of the desert, forcibly reversed the nomadic herdification, and changed it into a fixed pastoral.

This big policy, combined with the technological upgrading of Jia Fei and other agricultural experts, is to prepare to kill the grassland peoples within a hundred or fifty years, and completely play them as herdsmen, at most horse thieves.

But after two years of experience in Liaodong, after all the Fuyu species were removed, the rest were weak chickens, and their degree of waste firewood had to compete with the countries of the Western Regions. This made Emperor Li's judgment a little skewed.

If there were no southeastern tyrants who went to the sea frantically, then Ma Zhou also supported Emperor Li to directly swallow the Fusang countries, because in addition to the policy of supporting the Tu people, there was also a policy of genocide.

Of course, the genocide of Ma Zhou was not just a pure killing, but the labor of the Fuso countries was sent to the South China Sea, Liuqiu and other "Xinjiang" in batches and according to demand in a planned way for development.

However, the reality is that the southeast tyrants have gone to the sea, and not only the southeast tyrants, but also Shandong, Hebei, and even Lingnan and Guangzhou, are involved.

The legend of the "Treasure Island" in the East China Sea is now all over the coast, and the "shipbuilding fever" set off by the "gold rush" across the sea, even if people are in Liaodong, Ma Zhou is clear.

At this time, the emperor wants to eat it in one bite, which is equivalent to saying that he will establish prefectures and counties in Fusang and bring Fusang into the imperial rule, which is definitely "bad news" for those local tyrants who go to the sea.

Once the emperor does this, it is illegal for the local tyrants to go to Fusang to "eat, drink and have fun", and where "Zhenguan Law" can show power, for the local tyrants, they must be careful when eating beef.

In the past, the emperor could do this, but on the East China Sea, the strength of the empire's "water army" was overwhelming, and it couldn't even stand alone or be remarkable, once it attracted the "Eleven Supernova" or some other pirate group, the matter would be irreparable.

"Although the sages of the East China Sea are loyal to Your Majesty, but the rivers and seas are turbulent, and they are very treacherous, if they are established in the East China Sea, lest the villain incite the natives to oppose the Celestial Empire. Fusang across the sea, in the end is not as deep as the Korean Daoke army, Your Majesty shows generosity, Fanbang natives, also know the grace, will be used by Your Majesty. ”

"Xiangxian ......"

Hearing these two words, Li Dong was a little unhappy.

However, Ma Bingwang's speech is still very good, in Li Dong's view, Ma Zhou is a typical "little bird according to people", too special and easy to use.

If you want to say that Emperor Li has a big appetite, it is indeed big, but Ma Zhou laid out the reason, and Emperor Li knew that no matter how big his appetite was, he had to reach the food to count.

Now that the "Xiangxian" in the East China Sea has risen together, the slightly less powerful "Xiangxian", such as the "Xiangxian" in Huiji, has been taught to be a person by the "Xiangxian" in Jiangyin.

The "village sages" are also very busy and have to eat, they have to give food to eat, and if they don't have food, don't they have to look for food everywhere? If you can't find food, you'll have to find something.

"Raise the edict and crown the princess of Fusang Bao as the 'Queen of Yamatai'."

Governor Li Dong couldn't do anything, so he made a decision and came up with a backup plan.
