Han is a proud and great country.

Hundreds of years ago, when Greece and Athens were still at war.

This vast and great country has been united as a whole.

At that time, the ruler of the Han Kingdom already called himself the son of the gods.

And his people, who also believe and recognize their monarch, are the sons of God who are favored and favored by the gods.

This son of the gods lived in the imperial palace of Chang'an City, the capital of the Han Kingdom.

His palace was as beautiful as the temple of the gods on Mount Ospirin.

But, surprisingly, the ruler of the Han Kingdom, the son of the gods, was a king who refused to enjoy too much luxury.

Before him, his father and grandfather were the same.

This ruling family, for thirty years in a row, commanded officials to be sure to lighten the burden of the commoners and freemen they ruled.

In order to achieve this goal, the grandfather of the son of the gods was reluctant to build a pavilion, and it is said that the wise monarch at that time, after hearing that the pavilion would cost the total wealth of ten commoners, flatly rejected the officials' suggestion to build it.

When I arrived in Han, the new monarch had just been on the throne for less than two years.

It was a young king with a mystical overtone.

All the Han officials and people I came into contact with told me that the son of the gods, who was able to communicate with the gods and knew the meaning of the gods, had repeatedly saved the Han kingdom from disasters.

At first, I thought that what the Han people told me was a lie.

But. When I arrived in the capital of the Han Kingdom.

I saw with my own eyes that the government officials of the Han Kingdom personally carried some grain and cloth and coins—usually copper coins. It is distributed to the poor civilians as well as to the freedmen.

A few Han friends I know told me that the king of Han, the son of the gods, believed that he was appointed by the gods to protect and help the people. ）

It is said that this is an order that has been promoted and popularized since the third king of the Han Kingdom.

I think. The tribunes of the republic should study this ancient country in the far East. The experience of the Han people.

Better for Rome.

May the gods of Ospirin bless Rome!

Putting down the quill pen of the record, Curitius moved his body.

It was his third night in Chang'an.

When he was brought into the territory of the Han Dynasty, an official who claimed to be an official of the Shaofu Agency took the other slaves, including him.

And then. Curitius et al. They were sent to a place called Jinyang.

Here, Curitius and others received a brief training in language and etiquette.

Then, when the officials of Jinyang learned that Curitius was from Rome in the West, and was still a nobleman, literate and learned a lot.

So, Curitius was sent to Chang'an.

It was sent to the capital of the Han Dynasty, in an institution called Da Honglu. Responsible for the compilation and presentation of the history of Rome.

Two young officials became Curitius's assistants as well as teachers.

He was responsible for helping Curitius learn the writing and language of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, help write an introduction to the geography and history of Rome.

Of course, these Han Dynasty people's understanding of the world was very limited.

Until now, they have assumed that Rome was what they called a small country in the Western Regions.

Moreover, according to the transliteration, Rome was translated into Daqin.

This is probably a strange name that evolved from the pronunciation of Latin after being processed by Dawan and Xiongnu.

But in this institution called Da Honglu's foreign relations.

Curitius was still having a good time.

The officials here were courteous, not like the Roman and Greek scholars, but at least they had a great respect for knowledge and culture.

There was no abuse or torture for Curitius.

On the contrary, he was provided with very lenient living conditions and treatment.

Even, Curitius was given a silk dress for free.

Although the clothes of the Han Dynasty people were very generous.

But Curitius was very satisfied—in Rome, even his father, and he had only a silk garment.

Of the 300 senators of the Senate, most of them owned no more than one silk garment.

However, Curitius was still restricted in his personal freedom and was not allowed to move freely.

But Curitius knew that a turning point in his fate was coming.

Tomorrow, the officials of the Great Hung Lu will go to the palace to report to their monarch.

At the same time, Curitius and his two assistants were also brought with him, and more than 100 words about Rome were simply translated in the past three days.

Curitius believed that the emperors of the Han Dynasty, after seeing the introduction of Rome, should have been very interested - who would have a hard time with their customers?

You must know that the silk and spices of the Han Dynasty were more expensive than gold in Rome, and moreover, they were in short supply.

The only thing that upset Curitius was that in the Han Dynasty, almost everyone looked at him with contempt.

Like, when he was in Rome, he saw the captured barbarian slaves from Asia Minor and the West.

The people of the Han Dynasty, who turned all non-Han Dynasty people into Yidi, regarded them as beasts walking on two feet, were barbarians who needed civilized education, spurring and change, in order to have the characteristics of a person.

Even the mighty empire that called itself the Huns.

In the Han Dynasty, the same is true of the treatment received.

Curitius, a little incomprehensible and curious, why did the people of the Han Dynasty have such a mentality?

You know, even Rome, which has already defeated Carthage and Greece and Macedonia, does not dare to have such a mentality.

……………………………………

Today is the usual dynasty.

Liu Che sat on the throne and accepted the kowtow of the hundred officials.

Since the storm in early April. Liu Che's position has been completely consolidated at home and abroad.

In one sentence. That is, from one victory, to another.

First of all, all the princes of the world have come to the table, expressing their determination to resolutely support the Son of Heaven and resolutely become the wings of the Han Dynasty.

Some undisciplined guys. even slapped the sycophants that made people get goosebumps all over his body, regardless of shame.

The government-run policy of salt and iron was thoroughly implemented.

In just one month, all the major counties and important cities of the entire Han Dynasty, the salt and iron yamen began to be put into business.

A limited number of low-cost salt and iron items were sold at the official price limit.

In just one month. The treasury of Shaofu entered 20,000 yuan.

Liu Che planned to recast all these coins and recast them into five-baht coins to further strengthen the state's control over the financial industry.

And this time. There is no one and no power. dared to jump out and question Liu Che's decision, let alone block it.

The Han regime grabbed salt and iron in one hand and the money bag in the other.

This indicates that the country's revenues will be greatly enhanced.

Fiscal revenue = national strength.

And with the unprecedented strengthening of Liu Che's authority, those large-denomination gold reward edicts that were once difficult to sell were exchanged for gold and other precious metal property by the princes and princes.

Everyone began to praise Liu Che's stinky feet.

And that's all. The amount of gold recovered by Shaofu reached nearly 5,000 gold.

In the foreseeable future, this figure could exceed 20,000 gold.

This is equivalent to nearly five tons of gold.

This means: Judging from the experience of Britain in achieving the gold standard, the Han dynasty could issue more than 200,000 gold in reward edicts that only circulated among nobles and officials, and there was no need to worry about a credibility crisis and a run.

This really made Liu Che a little smacked.

However, large denominations of currency were issued in the name of the Edict of Reward.

It limits the field and scope of its circulation.

This somewhat made Liu Che a little regretful.

But you have to eat one bite at a time, especially in the financial industry.

Liu Che didn't want to end up with a failure like the White Deer Coin.

Credibility and credibility take time to build, and more importantly, practical actions are needed to maintain.

And abroad, especially in the Mitsukoshi region, the Han family received unprecedented support.

After the storm, the Dongou people cried and shouted for the protection of the Han Dynasty's father.

Even the king of Dongou went to the table to request to join the Son of Heaven.

After a few days of twisting and punishing, Minyue couldn't hold on.

The lord's congratulatory watch and table loyalty, willing to be a little padded jacket for his father in the Han Dynasty forever, are now lying in Liu Che's arms.

As a symbol of determination, along with the edict arrived in Chang'an, along with one of Liu Bi's sons, who is said to be a family named Liu Xuan.

Liu Che had them all imprisoned.

As for Nanyue, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, asked Liu Che a few days ago to ask his son, Zhao Hu, to escort Zhao Hu's son-in-law to Chang'an to receive the admonition and education of the Son of Heaven.

It's basically the equivalent of raising your hands in surrender.

And among the concubines, there are also frequent good news.

Xia Rouge, Cheng Zhengying and another concubine all came with the good news of pregnancy.

This made the foundation of Liu Che's empire even more solid.

Of course, there are small troubles.

Especially after Xia Rouge became pregnant, between the government and the opposition, some restless guys began to jump up and down.

These guys, of course, are all in the name of 'flea building the prince, in order to set the country', for the emperor's eldest son.

But in fact, Liu Che recognized it at a glance, in fact, these guys are not the same as Yiwu and Yizong at all.

If they are in a group, the IQ of Yiwu and Yizong can be directly declared zero.

With such pig teammates, it is impossible for the Yi sisters and brothers to end well in the future!

Liu Che felt that Yi Zong and Yi Wan couldn't be so stupid.

Then, the instigator behind the scenes is about to come out.

But Liu Che didn't bother to pay attention to such a murmur.

In any case, he is young enough and healthy enough now, and he will talk about such a thing as a prince after he is forty years old!

But there is another thing that has to make Liu Che sad.

The question of how to deal with the Xiongnu's mission has become a matter of constant controversy in the court.

Originally, the Lord and the faction have always had the upper hand in the court.

The main battle faction had only a part of the princes and generals.

In the past, such a thing should have been a matter of no suspense.

However, a hurricane in Guangling City not only blew down the walls of Guangling City, but even the lords and factions in the court were blown to pieces.

Many of them swelled.

Especially the military and the marquis class.

These guys all think: Since the Son of Heaven has been blessed by the gods, then my great man is invincible and invincible.

Just the Huns, can't they be eliminated with a raised hand? - As long as the gods remind the Son of Heaven in a dream of a few things to pay attention to, the Han army that opened the map can of course beat the Huns without pressure.

The speed of the Han army's equipment refitting strengthened their confidence in victory.

In these years, the military leaders and the princes are actually eager for war.

Even, even those former lords and factions have now begun to advocate tough treatment of the Xiongnu.

In the past, they were the main peace, and that was because they were not sure to win the Huns.

Now, they advocate a tough treatment of the Xiongnu because they feel that they are sure to win.

Now that the stakes are in place, what are you waiting for?

The titles, specifications and status of the marquis, in the Han family, can only be obtained through military exploits!

The status and benefits that Yi Zong and Xu Han gained through an armed march in North Korea last year made many people extremely red-eyed.

Everyone wants to try it.

Fortunately, Liu Che, Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and the East Palace are very clear that now is not the time to go to war.

Therefore, with the support of the Prime Minister and the Son of Heaven, the Lord and the faction can barely go back and forth with the main battle faction.

But it can't be as stress-free as before, crushing the main battle faction.

Today's court meeting is similar to several court meetings in the past 10 days.

The main battle faction and the main peace faction tear each other apart.

Liu Che was a little tired of watching.

But they had to remain silent and not take a position on this issue.

And the reason why he made such a choice was because Liu Che wanted to put more pressure on the Xiongnu mission.

At the very least, the people who were attacked and taken captive should be returned to the Han family, and the attackers should be punished to a certain extent - at least on the surface, so that Liu Che can give an account to the people of the world.

Otherwise, those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away, and this sentence will not become empty words?

This skill was learned by Liu Che from Mi Di.

The Senate and the House of Lords shouted and killed, and then the government came out to sing red faces, and easily took the benefits from the Heavenly Empire.

This trick proved to be very useful.

In the past few days, the position of the Xiongnu mission has been to retreat again and again.

Almost all of Liu Che's conditions were promised - except for handing over the culprit and the perpetrator.

When I was thinking about how I could knock more things out of the Huns.

Liu Che saw that Yang Yuan, the great Honglu Cheng, took advantage of the truce between the two factions, moved his body, and came out to play: "Return to Your Majesty, Chenyuan, I have something to report!" ”

Liu Che looked at Da Honglucheng, who had almost become an invisible person in the past half a year, and was quite curious.

You must know that since Gongsun Kunxi was put on indefinite sick leave by Liu Che, this great Honglu has basically become an invisible institution.

Except for the fact that they can come out and brush their presence when there are foreign vassals or princes and kings, they are almost nowhere to be seen.

There is no way, the boss was put on an indefinite sick leave by the Son of Heaven, there is no backer in the court, and all kinds of funds and powers are suddenly shrinking, and now Dahonglu is said to be able to barely maintain the normal operation of the yamen.

This matter has fully educated the yamen of Jiuqing: who is their real boss.

The guy who makes his own decisions can only be Gongsun Kunxie's second. (To be continued......)
