Ganquan Palace, Tranquility Palace.

As the name suggests, this is a place where the emperor of the Liu family often stays in the summer when he takes refuge in Ganquan Palace.

There are hot springs right out of the door, and when you come back from a hot spring bath, you can rest, play or do something that is beneficial to the harmony of the court.

However, at this moment, the Hall of Tranquility has temporarily become a place of diplomacy.

The main members of the missions from Minyue and South Vietnam knelt on the floor of the Hall of Tranquility in an orderly manner, knelt down three times and bowed to Liu Che three times and nine times, and said: 'The little minister of the lower country is so-and-so'.

Looking at the appearance of these guys, Liu Che held his chin, and his mind moved quickly.

Zhao Tuo, the ambitious king of Nanyue, has always been a person that Liu Che is extremely afraid of.

And Luo Yan, the king of Minyue, is not a guy who is Ansheng.

This goods, three years ago, dared to risk the world's greatness to contain the fugitive sons of Liu Bi, and six or seven years ago, he secretly used beauty tricks to stuff his own people in Chang'an and educate his own son.

The wolf's ambition is obvious.

This time, it seems that Minyue and Nanyue seem to have been submissive all of a sudden and have become a good baby.

On the South Vietnamese side, not only did they send a hardcore pro-Han faction, Zhao Hu, the grandson of the king of South Vietnam, but also sent Zhao Hu's son, who was less than two years old, to Liu Che.

In addition, the South Vietnamese also sent a variety of rice seeds from South Vietnam that Liu Che refused to give several times, which were more than 100 stones, and luxury goods such as ivory rhino horn were counted in boxes.

On the Minyue side, Liu Xuan's family had been sent to Chang'an not long ago, and this time, they simply even voted for their trump card - Liu Bi's crown prince Liu Ziju's family.

These two rivals. It was as if all of a sudden they were in lockstep with the same strategy.

This made Liu Che's heart alarmed.

The ancients said well: Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!

Later generations also often say: there is no love without a reason. There is no hatred for no reason.

Minyue and South Vietnam adopted the same deferential strategy at once.

There must be no fraud in this. Liu Che didn't want to believe it.

Especially Zhao Tuo's old fox, he has even used the Yellow House Zuoxu, and there is a precedent of fooling and deceiving the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che didn't believe it, he put on a magic stick, and Nanyue and Minyue's knees suddenly softened.

Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, and Luo Yan, the king of Minyue, are not like Shenma mentally retarded.

"Wait for me to give it a try...... Liu Che thought in his heart, and said with a smile on his lips: "The king of Nanyue and the king of Minyue, are you okay?" ”

Zhao Hu was the first to open his mouth and replied: "Your Majesty cares, and the ministers and fathers thank you!" When the minister went to the country. The minister's father is still in good health, and he can eat a bucket of rice and a pound of meat for a meal! ”

I haven't seen him for two years, and Zhao Hu has matured a lot, and his speech has become childish, like a politician.

Since he is a politician, then what he says must be nonsense.

A ninety-year-old man can still eat and chew meat. You're a liar!

Even if it is the birthday star of the Han family, Zhang Cang, a Wenhou of Beiping who has just passed away, after the age of eighty-five, his teeth will fall out. Survive by drinking human milk.

However, Liu Che also understands.

Zhao Tuo's health problems are estimated to be the top secret of South Vietnam.

If Zhao Tuo has a mistake. Don't talk about others, Liu Che can't hold it back.

The Nanyue Kingdom was experienced by Zhao Tuo for sixty years. The infrastructure and water facilities have been initially improved, and the local Yue tribe. It's also sinicized.。

This is the best annexation area, after eating in the stomach, smash it and smash it, you can digest it, and it can immediately provide financial resources and military resources.

Therefore, Liu Che smiled and said that he understood.

The envoy sent by Luo Yan, the king of Minyue, was his brother-in-law Wu Yun, who had accepted the canonization of Emperor Taizong as the candidate of Yue.

Wu, in the Minyue Kingdom, is also a big surname and is very noble.

Yue Yan Hou Wu Yun, since accepting the canonization of the Han family, has become the pioneer of sinicization in his country.

Historically, after Yu Shan's rebellion, it was Wu Yun's son Wu Yang who fought back and defeated Yu Shan's army.

But the pioneer of sinicization,Not necessarily the ass must be on the side of the Han family.。

Not to mention that there must be some differences between Wu Yun and his son Wu Yang.

Therefore, Wu Yun's answer is also very formulaic, this Minyue nobleman, who is very Chinese in his dress and way of speaking, bowed slightly and bowed: "Back to Your Majesty, when the ministers go to the country, my lord Minyue Wang Yan is also in good health!" My lord entrusts my ministers to ask Your Majesty for peace......"

Liu Che smiled when he heard this, stood up, and suddenly asked, "Since the two lords are in good health, then why, I have never seen the two lords come to Chang'an?" ”

When Zhao Hu and Wu Yun heard this, their faces were immediately embarrassed.

When you come to Chang'an, can you still go back?

This question doesn't even need to be thought about.

It's just, how do they say this kind of thing, and how do they say it?

It can only be fragmented.

Zhao Hu even lowered his head very low.

He really wanted to persuade his grandfather to come to Chang'an to see and learn.

Unfortunately, my grandfather refused all.

He even told him that after he ascended the throne in the future, no matter how tempted the Han Dynasty was, he should not leave Panyu, let alone come to Chang'an.

Of course, Liu Che will not continue to press.

He just wanted to test the temptation, and use the sudden attack to find a breakthrough.

This is a common trick used by prosecutors and police officers in later generations when dealing with criminals.

Many criminals know this, but the people who are recruited are still like carp crossing the river.

What's more, this pre-century man?

Looking at Zhao Hu and Wu Yun's reactions, Liu Che probably had some bottom in his heart.

The deference and well-behaved nature of Minyue and Nanyue is really pretended!

Although he had expected this result, Liu Che was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"I don't know what the two old foxes Zhao Tuo and Luo Yan are talking about......" Liu Che's eyes rolled, and he simply put aside the doubts in his heart first.

South Vietnam and Minyue, no matter what their idea is.

In the face of absolute strength, it is all in vain!

As long as the Han family continues to be strong, then they will raise their hands and surrender like the Dongou people. You can only surrender to these two options in front of the iron hooves of the Han army.

Through Fang Cai's sudden attack, Liu Che also figured out one thing in his heart: now. Nanyue and Minyue were very afraid of the Han family.

That's why they are so humble. So deferential.

What I ask is, don't attack them, don't do anything to them.

Case......

"If you have a bargain, you don't take advantage of the bastard!" Liu Che said in his heart.

No matter what the rulers of Nanyue and Minyue think, whether they are really willing to be good babies, or just fool around, and get through the current crisis.

For Liu Che, it all means that there is a huge room for operation.

Just like the Qin State during the Warring States period.

The envoys of the Qin State threatened and intimidated the royal families of various countries. All kinds of flesh cutting and bloodletting.

The Six Kingdoms really didn't have much of a good way other than offering the land and cities demanded by the Qin State with both hands.

It was only in the later period that I remembered to join forces to resist Qin, but unfortunately, the countries that were scattered and entangled in their own grievances were easily disintegrated by the Qin people.

Today's Han dynasty has a greater advantage in the face of the three more than the Qin in the Six Kingdoms.

The Han family is crushing to Mitsukoshi.

If not, the Han family would have learned to pretend to be a gentleman by now. Pay attention to the appearance of eating.

Now, in this palace, there should be Han officials with swords. forced Minyue and South Vietnam to sign a large number of treaties such as land seizure and city sacrifice.

Blatant threats, intimidation and persecution are no longer available.

But it doesn't represent. The Han regime is really civilized.

There will be no more expansion.

Contrary. It's just the means and methods of expansion, and a different vest.

What is popular now is the crime of hanging the people. Eliminate violence and peace.

In the words of Emperor Wen of Sui, it is: I am the parent of the people, how can I not save because I have a piece of water?

It's the same when used in this case.

As the Son of Heaven, the co-lord of the world, and the parents of the people of the world, he was ordered by the heavens to shepherd the emperor of Kyushu.

Liu Che has 10,000 reasons to save the people of Sanyue, who live under the rule of tyrants and faint monarchs, and bring civilization and happiness to them.

It's just that the time is not yet ripe, and the Han family is not yet fully prepared.

In addition, Liu Che did not want to make a big move in the south.

The center of gravity of the Han family is still in the north.

A military solution to Minyue and South Vietnam is only the last option.

Therefore, Liu Che waved his hand and said: "That's it, that's it, it must be the two lords, they are old and unbearable to travel tirelessly, I am not unreasonable, as long as Minyue and Nanyue are loyal to me, loyal to the Han family, and loyal to the Chinese ancestors, I will not be too harsh!" ”

The implication is obvious.

If Minyue and Nanyue are not loyal to Liu Che, the Han family, and the Chinese ancestors, then the iron fist of the Han family will come!

When Zhao Hu and Wu Yun heard this, they both knelt down and bowed: "No, follow Your Majesty's teachings!" ”

"Get up, get up......" Liu Che smiled and asked people to help the two of them, and said with a smile: "I am ordered by the sky, shepherd the world, protect the world, and the Yue people are also my people, but unfortunately, I heard that the Yue people slash and burn, and their livelihood is difficult!" ”

Liu Che said to Wu Yun with compassion: "Especially in Minyue, according to my understanding, the people of Minyue live extremely hard, and live by fishing. ”

When Wu Yun heard this, although he didn't understand what Liu Che wanted to say, his eyes were red.

The land of Minyue is barren, mostly mountainous, and the grain output is very small, and most people make a living by fishing.

The pain of fishing, needless to say.

In particular, the fishing techniques and equipment of the Minyue people are very primitive, and most people catch fish by hand.

This directly led to the people of Minyue, and a large number of people drowned every year.

This is also the reason why Wu Yun advocates sinicization and is attached to the Han family.

As a rare sober person in Minyue Kingdom, Wu Yun understands very well that if he continues like this, the Yue people will not have a future.

Only by learning the Han Dynasty, getting close to the Han Dynasty, and obtaining advanced farming techniques and farming tools from the Han Dynasty, can the fate of the Yue people be changed.

Liu Che looked at Zhao Hu again and said: "In Nanyue, I also know something, although there are many places for cultivation in the country, but the farming technology and farming tools are very primitive, mainly relying on slash and burn, watching the sky and eating, this is unacceptable!" People farming, must have good agricultural tools and better technical guidance, in order to get a bumper harvest, Nanyue rice seeds, there are many excellent and high-yield rice seeds, take good care, one acre of land harvest five stones, not a problem! ”

Rice is inherently much more productive than corn and wheat.

Moreover, as a tropical region, the rice of South Vietnam should be able to double cropping at one year, and at the extreme point, on the Indochina Peninsula, three cropping can also be achieved.

However, the backward farming methods and primitive farming tools made it impossible for the South Vietnamese to enjoy the advantages of the tropics.

Of course, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, has long been aware of this problem.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been continuously promoting the development of agricultural technology of the Vietnamese people, and has vigorously developed the construction of basic water conservancy facilities and roads.

But the problem is - after Zhao Tuo became self-reliant, he closed himself off from the country and cut off contact with China.

This is done to ensure that the flames of war will not burn out.

But it is also destined to fail to keep up with the development needs of the times.

When iron tools were booming in the hinterland of China and revolutionary breakthroughs were made in iron-smelting technology, Zhao Tuo and his subordinates were still using bronze.

So, when Zhao Tuo re-established contact with China, he was stunned to find that he had fallen behind.

Mature ironware, which comprehensively surpasses the bronze ware of Qin.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo decided to fully introduce the iron tools of the Han family.

However, his plot was discovered by Wu Qi, the king of Changsha at the time, who, after consulting Empress Lü for instructions, ordered that any iron weapons should not be imported into South Vietnam.

This led directly to a war.

It was also the first trade war in history.

In order to obtain the source of iron products, the South Vietnamese army fought fiercely with the army of Changsha in the area of Mai Ling, and crushed the county soldiers of Changsha without pressure.

It's just that the small ones were beaten, and the old ones came.

When Empress Lu heard the news, he was furious and ordered Hou Zhouzao to lead the army to fight, and then the South Vietnamese army was beaten by the Han army.

Until Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he issued an edict to quell the war and transfer back the army of Zhou Zao.

This is the end of the matter.

But the ban on the sale of iron tools has become a common practice.

The South Vietnamese had to pay a huge price if they wanted to obtain iron tools from China.

Even, in Changsha, an ecological chain of iron smuggling has been formed.

Many people eat in it, and their mouths are full of oil.

Even Minyue was able to gain a lot of wealth by exporting iron products to South Vietnam!

Up and down the country of Nanyue, it can be said that there is not a day that is not looking forward to obtaining advanced iron tools from the Han family.

Liu Che has naturally done his homework on these things.

He looked at Zhao Hu, then looked at Wu Yun, and said: "Yue people, since they are also my people, I naturally can't keep the Yue people out of the Han civilization, Han and Yue are one, Han and Yue are one, I think, start with the economy, from now on, all materials that are not outside the Han law prohibition law, Min Yue, Nanyue, can be like Han County, and Han merchants can trade freely, I will set up mutual markets in Donou, Changsha and other places, and open the market every ten days, and allow the people of Min Yue and South Yue to buy freely!" ”

When Zhao Hu and Wu Yun heard this, they were pleasantly surprised, knelt down, kowtowed, and bowed: "Your Majesty's holy grace, the ministers and other generations of the country are grateful for the grace of heaven!" ”

What a blessing from God!

For a long time, the Han dynasty treated Sanyue as it did with the Xiongnu, severely restricting the free movement of iron tools, technology, books, and people.

Now, this obstacle no longer exists, and Zhao Hu and Wu Yun really have no other ideas than kowtow and thank you.

Liu Che smiled.

Economy, but it is a means of assimilation second only to the army, and even more powerful than the army.

Of course, trading alone is not enough!

Economic integration should be a combination of financial integration, free trade and cultural integration. (To be continued......)
