Section 941 Changes brought about by the whaling industry

The opening remarks of the Son of Heaven of the Han family moved Han Wang Qizhun and Zhenfan King Liu Zhonghan, as well as Canghai Jun Jin Xin, Fuyu Wang Gao Tang and others.

They all bowed their heads and said: "Fang Jin is very fortunate, Your Majesty is very beneficial to the world, all over the birds and beasts, Ze and grass and trees, so that the ministers and other people who do not know the king from afar, can also know the righteousness of the crown belt, the weight of the Mingzong Temple, the ministers are sincerely afraid, and dare to climb to your majesty?" I only wish Yongyong to be His Majesty's concubine and Han wings......"

Of course, in my heart, the big guys are very happy.

Being able to have a relationship with the old Liu family is something that everyone dreams of.

It's just that......

It's a pity that except for Han Wang, he really hugged Liu's thighs - his two daughters married Liu Ming, the monarch of Joseon, and will become the future queen of Joseon.

The others scratched their heads and failed to hug the thigh of the surnamed Liu.

This is really a pity for everyone!

But I heard the Son of Heaven continue: "If we are one family today, and the sea is one, the Qing and others are my ministers and the veins of my clan!" ”

This kind of scene and polite words, Liu Che has always been willing to say - anyway, he doesn't want money, it's just a waste of saliva.

If you can buy people's hearts and reap the benefits with your lips, then why use force?

What's more, now, the Han family's treatment of Anton is essentially regarded as a local.

The king of Han, the king of Zhenfan, and the king of Buyeo are just like the princes and kings with different surnames back then.

The nobles and officials in these places are also all sinicized.

Even the level of some people's official speech is not as good as that of the courtiers in Chang'an.

Liu Che held the wine bottle, stood up, walked forward slowly, and continued: "For the sake of respecting the teachings of the ancestors and respecting the ancestors of the Fazong, I have decided to go to Taiyuan and collect the country of Tang!" ”

Today's Taiyuan and Jinyang, the central capital, are within the scope of activity of the Yu tribe during the time of Emperor Yao.

This can be regarded as Liu Che's mistake.

Under the rule of Taiyuan and Jinyang, Liu Deng moved to Pengcheng, at first, Liu Che just wanted to expand the basic cards and create a large Guanzhong economic circle.

But now, he has put on the sacred cloak of planning for his ancestors.

In addition to support and praise, it is impossible for the people of the world to have other voices.

"Your Majesty respects your ancestors and respects your ancestors, and the ministers only bow down and congratulate the world!"

Han Wang Zhun was the first to prostrate on the ground, and the others immediately followed urgently and slapped their ass.

Although it is said that the ancestor they recognize is the Shaohao clan of Dongyi.

However, Youyu, Shaohao, and Tao Tang are all from the same source.

If you trace it upward, you can trace it back to Xuanyuan.

The Three Kings and Five Emperors are a family.

Liu Che showed a sad look at the right time: "It's just that the remnants of Tang Xia are still outcast, and I deeply regret it!" ”

"I have heard that there is a country in the Western Regions, called Great Xia, and its people are all bearded and beautiful, or they are also ...... for my sect."

The Emperor Shun of the Yu clan and the Di Yao of the Tao Tang clan should be of the same tribe in terms of relationship.

The Chinese language is said: (Youyu clan) Jiaoyao and Zongshun.

Zuo Chuan also said: It is Yao who collapses and the world is the same, and Dai Shun is concentric, thinking that he is the Son of Heaven.

As for the Greeks and Cypriots of the Kingdom of Bactria, as well as the Yue clan, what expressions will they have when they hear about it?

Liu Che didn't bother to care about it!

In today's world, the right to speak is controlled by China.

Just like the Omi of the later generations.

The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty was ordered by the heavens to hunt the four seas on behalf of the heavens and take charge of the world.

Even the laws of physics, chemical changes and the movement of the stars must respect the Son of Heaven.

A distant country, dare to disrespect the Chinese Son of Heaven?

Do you want to live anymore?

said that you were migrated from the Xiahou Society of the Tao Tang clan, you have to believe it, and you have to believe it if you don't believe it.

Just like the Omi of later generations, if you say that you are ****, you will ****, if you are not ****, you will not ****, and no matter how **** you are, it is also a poisonous dish.

Talking to oneself and drawing a circle to trap others has always been the only characteristic of the great powers of the human world.

Anyway, in traditional Chinese thinking and ********.

All the nations and kingdoms of this world are Chinese concubines.

The so-called, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

For thousands of years, no one has dared to dispute or rebel against this truth.

"The remnants of the same sect are outcast, and I am very heartbroken!" Liu Che said to all the big dogs with a deep sorrow: "I am the king of the world, and I want to be the parents of the people, how can I not be saved because of the veil of a scene (desert)?" ”

That's all I have to say.

Of course you know what you should do?

The sons of the Liu family have already pulled down their wealth like this, and even the descendants of the Shaohao clan admit that they are relatives of the Liu clan.

The pure Great Xia with Tang Yao's name of the Xia Kingdom, isn't that the brother and brother who everyone is abandoned?

Today, the big guy eats and drinks spicy food, can you forget the compatriots of the same clan who are still eating bran vegetables outside and even being bullied?

Canghai Jun Jin Xin first came out to worship and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, the world can see it, and the minister is willing to offer 2,000 gold and 500 East Pearls, thinking that His Majesty's military expenses will save the remnants of Tang Xia!" ”

At the beginning, they were bullied by Xianbei people, but they are the justice they uphold today.

Now, the relatives of the Liu family are being bullied outside, and even beaten into pigs' heads.

As Haojun, is he embarrassed not to shed some blood?

Now that Kim Shin has taken the lead.

What else do other big dog families have to say, they have generously donated.

Han Wang took 3,000 gold as a contribution.

King Shinban also took out four thousand slaves and a thousand gold.

is the youngest king of Buyeo, who also contributed more than 2,000 gold.

The 'sponsorship fee' promised by these people instantly soared to nearly 10,000 gold.

Of course, they can't be taken out right away.

It may take next year before it will be sent to Chang'an.

Maybe even drag it out for three or five years.

But it doesn't matter.

With this 10,000 gold, Liu Che will be able to mint another million or so gold coins.

Enough to support a cavalry of 20,000 people on an expedition of thousands of miles.

Of course, as the overlord, as the sect master, Liu Che certainly has more requirements.

Especially for these kings with different surnames who are cheap in the Han family.

Their current wealth and privileged life are purely due to Liu Che.

In this world, what is there that only needs to be enjoyed, and there is no need to bear obligations and responsibilities?

"Zhuqing's kindness, I thank the people of Daxia for your ......" Liu Che smiled and raised the wine bottle and thanked: "Please drink this bottle together!" ”

"Don't dare!" The big dogs smiled.

Spending money, or bleeding, everyone expected this before coming to Chang'an.

Even, if Chang'an doesn't want their money, they will be afraid.

It's kind of like paying protection money.

Picture peace of mind.

Liu Che sat down, looked at them, and said, "Zhu Qing came to Chang'an this time, I still have something to discuss with Zhu Qing......

"Your Majesty has orders, and the ministers dare to disobey dogs and horses?" Han Wangxuan bowed and said, "But please ask Your Majesty to command!" ”

"But please command, Your Majesty!" The others preached.

"The Protector Army and the Anton Garrison have been ......quite nervous recently," Liu Che looked at them and said: "The whole army of the Protector Army has only more than 4,000 people so far, and the Anton garrison, except for North Korea, is only more than 30,000 in the whole territory, and the whole territory of Andong has been quite special recently. ”

In Liu Che's eyes, this is a normal affair that is taken for granted.

The imperial garrison was there, protecting and defending the security of the kingdoms and the stability of the throne.

The economies and livelihoods of our countries depend on it.

The existence of the Han army even made it impossible for these countries to even have an army.

The nobles and royal families of all countries rushed to export slaves and commoners to Anton as 'dispatch workers', and even some crazy guys sent the army over as 'dispatch workers' to export to earn foreign exchange.

This skill of eating the blood of soldiers is lit up by them.

Even better, they don't have to worry about expropriation, or extravagance, which will lead to popular revolt.

Anyway, with the father of the Han Dynasty, who would dare to make a mistake?

Of course, the people of these countries, especially the common people, are not stupid.

I couldn't go on, I couldn't stand it, so I ran to North Korea.

Liu Ming, the king of Korea, very much welcomes such a population who brings their own dry food to cultivate for themselves.

But, the Han army was stationed there to protect their safety.

Most of the military expenses and salaries are paid by Liu Che.

How does this work?

If this is the case in the future vassal states, the finances of the Han family will go bankrupt sooner or later!

Therefore, the military expenses of Anton's garrison must be apportioned to the nations.

At least half of it will be spread out!

Don't you see, the military expenses of the garrisons and bases of the later generations of Midi in Neon, Smecta and Hans are not also borne by these countries?

Neon suffered for a thousand years, and even had to pay for the military spending of Mi Di to fight Iraq.

Anyway, Liu Che is unwilling to suffer!

However, when the others heard this, they all looked at each other.

The Han garrison in Andong, plus the garrison of the Korean State, was nearly 100,000, counting the various cantonment regiments, as many as hundreds of thousands.

With such a huge garrison, even if they were sold, they would not be able to afford it.

"Ministers and other small countries and widows, poor land, poor people, ......limited ability," Liu Zhonghan, the king of Zhenfan, prostrate on the ground and said: "However, since it is Your Majesty's order, even if the minister is bankrupt, he must donate...... It's just that...... I don't know the proportion of the burden that His Majesty wants to be on the courtiers......"

If Chang'an really wants to knock the bone and suck the marrow......

Actually, there is nothing they can do......

Of course, Liu Che knows that he can't do things too much.

In everything, leave some space for people.

If you push too quickly, something will inevitably happen.

A large part of the reason why Anton is so stable and river crab is because of the economy.

Liu Che will not do such a stupid thing as killing chickens and taking eggs!

"I plan to upgrade the Protector Army to the Anton Army, and the whole army will increase to 24,000 people, with 10,000 cavalry, of which the cuirassiers are tentatively set at 1,000!" Liu Che looked at the crowd: "If this is calculated, the annual expenditure of the Anton Army is about 50 million!" ”

"In addition, the expenses of Anton's affairs and official offices are about 20 million!" Liu Che's abacus rattled and rattled.

Originally, this burden would not have been so light.

However, with the rise of the whaling industry, China's military burden and local government maintenance costs are actually declining.

Speaking of which, it may be hard for you to believe.

Why is the boom in whaling leading to a decline in military and government spending on the mainland?

But that's just the way it is.

Because the appearance of whale oil and leather has reduced the traditional Chinese miscellaneous expenses and various repair expenses to an unprecedented low.

In the past, the Han army and government, in addition to salaries, the largest expenditure came from the maintenance and maintenance of military equipment and government offices, as well as chariots and horses.

The Art of War. There is a saying in the battle: thousands of miles of food, then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the materials of glue paint, the dedication of car armor, the daily cost of thousands of gold, and then 100,000 divisions.

In this sentence, glue paint and car armor are side by side, they are all necessary to maintain the army.

The so-called glue paint.

Glue, as the name suggests, is a type of leather boiled that is used to bind bows, crossbows, and weapons as an important resource.

In the past, this resource could only be obtained through the processing of expensive donkeys, horses, cattle and other leathers, and the price was very expensive.

A pound of glue, the current market price is 60 yuan (Juyan Hanjian).

And a normal soldier needs at least half a catty of glue a year to maintain and repair his bow and crossbow and armor.

In addition to buying glue, the army also has to buy fat.

What is Lipid?

The answer is oil!

Maintaining weapons, maintaining vehicles, and lubricating crossbow machines all require oil.

Especially now.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and there were many instruments and machinery in the Han army.

These equipment, every year, require a large amount of various lubricants and lubrication of their mechanical parts.

You must know that in the past, a big evidence of the Confucian scholars who sprayed the violent Qin was that the violent Qin 'took victory as their priority...... Mechanical Equipment'

Machinery and equipment occupied a precious position throughout Qin's reign, especially in the army and government.

Han is similar.

In the army, there are so-called 'Sui' units that are responsible for the maintenance and repair of various furniture and military equipment.

As for the government, the oil and lighting of the vehicles and horses, as well as the lamps and lighting of the official offices, all account for a large part of the government's expenditure.

However, the prosperity of the whaling industry has reduced the expenditure of the government and the army in this area to an extreme.

Whale leather can be boiled into a better glue to be delivered to the army and the government.

And the price is ......

Anyway, now Liu Che's regulations are ten catties and one penny......

And whale grease is very good for lighting, maintenance of weapons and equipment, lubrication of various vehicle equipment.

What's more – cheap!

In the past, a pound of lubricating oil, even if it was extracted from pigs, was expensive.

What's more, it's more or less refined from cattle.

But now, cheap whale oil, with a super cheap price of 100 yuan, has made the entire supply chain extremely cheap.

Also, whale grease lasts longer and has better lubrication.

Anyway, now in Chang'an, Liu Che has ordered all government offices and the army to use whale fat as consumables.

And the reduction of these two expenditures, in fact, has cut the expenditure of local governments by at least 20 percent, and as for the army, it has almost reduced the expenditure by 30 percent!

Especially in the Andong region, this trend of derogation is even more pronounced! (To be continued.) )
