After sending Zhou Yafu and Gongsun Kunxie away, Liu Che couldn't help laughing.

"What a beautiful misunderstanding......" Liu Che inexplicably remembered the 'Great-Mother Dark Sand' in later generations.

This Great Xia and Zengmu Dark Sand should be regarded as a moment of brightness.

But......

"Who translated the name Great Xia?" Liu Che thought in his heart.

Obviously, neither the Greek or Indian speeches of the Greco-Indian Kingdom (Bactria) nor the ancient Xiongnu pronunciation could have been translated into Bactria in general.

However, now, twenty or thirty years have passed since the time of Emperor Taizong, when the Han monarchs and ministers first came into contact with refugees fleeing from the Western Great Xia.

Such a trivial matter has long been forgotten.

Therefore, Liu Che had no way of knowing who first translated the home country of those fleeing refugees into Great Xia.

It is even more unclear why it was translated as Bactria .

But Liu Che can speculate on the origin of the translation of 'Great Xia' from another matter.

"Hey...... Da Qin ......" Liu Che's mouth was crooked when he smiled in his heart.

At the beginning, the Roman envoy Curitios came to China, and then, inexplicably, the officials of the Great Honglu called the place where he came 'Great Qin'.

Liu Che didn't think it was strange before.

Because the Han people in history also called Rome, the overlord of the distant western world.

But, now, Liu Che has come back to his senses.

This is simply not true!

Although, the official of Dahonglu said in the recital that it was because 'according to the envoy's words: the people of his country have grown up in Zhongping, and there is a kind of China, so it is called: Great Qin'.

But the question is, why Qin?

Just because others say that his people are similar in height, appearance and physical fitness to China, they call him 'Daqin'?

Dahonglu's officials, aren't they afraid of being sprayed to death?

Looking at the history books of later generations, especially the history books of the Song and Ming dynasties, have there ever been similar records of forcibly imposing the names of ancient countries or places in China on distant and foreign countries?

In other words, why would the officials of the Han family give a foreign country that is unknown in the distance an extremely Chinese, or even the name of the kingdom of the Chinese princes?

Any political act must have its own political demands.

It's like the current Han Empire, which arrogantly calls all the worlds that are not within the scope of the Great Wall 'Yidi'.

In the Tang Dynasty, they were Hu people.

In the Song Dynasty, it was a Tatar.

In the Ming Dynasty it was the Northern Captives.

In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, at first it was the Xiyi, then the Westerners, and finally the specific Americans, French foreigners, and English foreigners.

This change of title changes with the rise and fall of the country.

It's like that Napoleonic joke.

Corsican monsters land in Puerto Ruan......

The man-eating devil marched towards Glass......

Usurpers enter Grenoble......

Bonaparte occupies Lyon......

Napoleon approached Fontainebleau......

His Majesty the Emperor will arrive today in his faithful Paris......

Politicians and rulers and countries cannot be without purpose.

What's more, there is no purpose in so many things.

Liu Che looked up at the world map hanging on the wall of his dormitory.

In the far reaches of the world, beyond the map, on the edge of the Xiongnu's sphere of influence, the names of countries are constantly lit up.

These are the names left by the generals and politicians of the Han Dynasty to the local kingdom.

Cross the Illet River to the west.

Dawan, Daxia, Yueshi, Kangju, Tiaozhi, Anxi, Daqin, all lined up.

And south of the Yinlie River.

The names of the 36 countries in the Western Regions contained in the Book of Han were also lit up one by one.

Gao Chang, Gushi, Cheshi, Qiuzi, Xiu Xun......

Now it seems that in Liu Che's eyes, these place names, country names, and even the names of mountains and rivers are very interesting!

Gaochang and Qiuzi are completely fake words or synonyms of Gaoyang and Jiuzi.

Others are also more or less close to 'poor mulberry', 'empty mulberry' and 'Yu clan' in their speeches.

Maybe later generations don't have much impression of it, but in the eyes of the Han people at this time, they will subconsciously associate them with the ancient countries and ancient place names such as Gaoyang and Jiuzi.

Just like the students of later generations, they saw their great-mother Dark Sand in a textbook for the first time.

Believe it or not, I was convinced that my ancestors arrived there thousands of years ago and left it to future generations.

In the world of cognition of the two Han dynasties, there are similar records.

There are even more exaggerated.

Liu Che's eyes swept over the Amu Darya River valley that the Yue people now occupied.

In the Han Book and Historical Records, this river in Central Asia has a very familiar name - Fushui.

If you open the history books, you will find that there is also a water in China.

There is Yu's family, which originates from the water of the concubine.

Emperor Shun's father is the surname of the concubine.

One identical is a coincidence, and two identical are coincidences.

Those three or four, countless ancient Zhuxia Kingdom country names and place names, and even the names of rivers and mountains, spread all over the world that the Han people had just opened their eyes to.

Is this still a coincidence?

"Little pig, little pig, take a good look at my brother, how to accomplish the ambition that you can't reach in your life!" Liu Che withdrew his gaze.

He already knew that in the current country, in the blood and marrow of this nation, there was still a pioneering and adventurous spirit that had been passed down from the previous kings.

Whenever possible, they will conquer the world, either passively or actively.

Of course, Liu Che has to learn such advanced experience and superb technology.

Moreover, it is necessary to study conscientiously, strive to bring forth the new, and play better tricks.

"Come on, add a record of Daxia living in Fushui on the map......" After thinking about it, Liu Che said again: "The Queen Mother of the West is in Daqin, and then I will add this to ......"

In this way, it does not matter whether the Greeks, Macedonians and Romans believe it or not.

Anyway, Liu Che and his descendants should believe in the myth that the Queen Mother of the West lived in Great Qin.

………………………………

The next day, Liu Che personally held a banquet in the Xuanshu Palace, and followed Bo Shi to Chang'an to make a pilgrimage to his foreign vassal kings.

Compared to two or three years ago.

Han Wang Qizhun and Zhenfan Wang Liu Zhonghan and Canghai Jun Jin Xin have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Liu Che still remembers that at the beginning, when he was still a prince, Liu Zhonghan, the king of Zhenfan, and Han Wang Xuanzhun came to Chang'an with a little brother to make a pilgrimage to the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

At that time, they were like a group of rich people in the countryside, they were all rustic, and some of them even left some traces of Yidi's life.

For example, tattoos, such as painting flowers on the face.

But now, these people and their noble courtiers are dressed in fine robes and neat crowns.

Many people have a wide ribbon around their waists, and the ribbon is decorated with gold and jade.

Canghai Jun Jin Xin even decorated a row of pearls on the ribbon around his waist.

These are treasures from the Blackwater River, and they are worth a lot of money.

In Chang'an, one costs ten gold.

But Jin Xin pinned dozens of them to his waist in one go.

And each one is as big as a pebble, round and shiny, and it is the best in the East Pearl.

And Han Wang is not left behind.

He wore a wide court robe made from Shu County, woven with the best Shu brocade and the best workers.

The beads under the crown, one by one, are shiny, and they are all made of silver.

That's a lot more expensive than gold!

You must know that in China, although gold is a currency and a hard currency, silver is more precious.

Because China barely produces silver!

Since the Warring States period, the price of silver has been twice that of gold.

What's more, he still has a whole row of sea pearls inlaid on his feet, and his whole body is full of 'trenches'.

And Liu Zhonghan, the real king, is not far behind.

Compared to Han Wang Qizhun and Canghai Jun Jin Xin, he seems to love gold more.

He was equipped with a long sword made of gold, and he also played with a jade turtle artifact made of pure gold, and the court clothes on his body were made of gold thread.

And their courtiers also show one side of the 'trench'.

Almost all of them wore precious Shu brocade and made jewelry with beautiful jade and orbs.

Compared with them, even the most defeated gentleman in Chang'an's liehou is much inferior in terms of trenches!

And the noble ministers, including these kings and chieftains, now, everyone has a big belly.

Especially Canghai Jun Jin Xin, almost all of them have become a big fat man.

The waistline, even the ribbon can't be restrained......

Liu Che looked at these guys and took a slight sip of wine.

Today's Koreans, Zhenfan, and Haoren, even if the Han Dynasty rushes out with a stick, they will cry and cry their mother's request to stay in China and become concubines of the Han Dynasty.

There is no other reason.

Just because of the word profit.

The so-called hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

When the Han dynasty extended its power and army to the entire territory of Andong, and brought with it advanced farming technology and developed social system and civilization.

These tribes and kingdoms, which used to drink blood and live a semi-primitive and semi-slave life, ran into feudal imperialism overnight.

This is tantamount to hanging out.

That's it.

After all, doctrine or something can't be eaten as food.

The crux of the matter is that the arrival of the Han family completely changed their way of life and destiny.

The agricultural technology and farming technology of the Han family are ahead of these small countries and tribes in an all-round way.

Those things that were completely impossible to follow in the eyes of these people in the past have become a reality in the hands of the Han family.

Not to mention, the annual fishing in the Heishui River is a huge feast.

The capture of the Han family's Lou Boat Yamen in one summer is almost equivalent to the catch of the Hao people in the past ten or even twenty years.

Even if it is just to eat some water and leftovers, the tribe of the Hao people will not starve.

What's more, the Han family also taught them advanced farming techniques and methods, and taught them to build strong houses and warm fire chambers.

It keeps them away from the cold and hunger of winter.

The arrival of the Han caravan turned the furs, ginseng, and Dongzhu that they could not use at all in the past into wealth.

Even the lower classes of the poor benefited from this process and lived a life that they could not have imagined in the past.

Not to mention the upper-class nobles - even the most unproductive one, packing up the ancestral Dongzhu and fur is enough for him to live a life without food and clothing.

And South Korea and Zhenfan also benefited a lot because of the arrival of the Han family.

First, the spread of advanced tools and techniques led to a great increase in the production of their land, and secondly, the strong demand for 'sent slaves' in Andong made their nobles and kings rich overnight.

Who doesn't want the days when you can count money while lying down?

As for the mud legs and the life and death of the slaves below, they don't bother to care!

Anyway, in the past, these mud legs and slaves, in their country, also had to work and serve the old men night and night.

Now, it is normal to help **** dad build a better Anton.

Now, tens of thousands of 'dispatched slave laborers' every year have created an untold amount of profits for Shinban, Korea, and even the people.

So much so that the aristocrats, even if they sit at home and do nothing, can still eat with a full stomach.

Liu Che looked at all this situation with a smile.

Say it, and you may not believe it.

Now, the entire Andong Prefecture, except for Liu Ming's Joseon Kingdom, in fact, the annual financial subsidies from the central Han family to Andong are actually only tens of millions.

Most of this went to military spending and bureaucratic maintenance.

Why, you have to ask, is it so cheap to develop Anton?

The answer is that the invisible hand moves behind the scenes.

Four years ago, when Anton was still a wilderness, outside the horizon of the Han family.

Here, the most civilized is the regime of Wei Joseon.

At that time, the entire nation and kingdom within the territory of Andong were struggling in the abyss of semi-primitive and semi-slavery.

At that time, not to mention the slaves and commoners below, even the nobles often did not have enough to eat.

But the arrival of the Han dynasty, especially the arrival of the caravans, immediately activated the local resources, turning them into wealth and flowing.

More importantly, the influx of Han goods formed a kind of dumping on the local tribes and kingdoms.

Originally, under normal circumstances, dumping would have been enough to destroy everything they relied on to survive.

High-quality and inexpensive Han goods will destroy all local economic and social structures.

But the question is - they don't have a so-called economic and social structure in the first place, so how can they be destroyed?

On the contrary, because of the dumping and acquisition of the Han family and the subsequent investment in the development of Anton, the resources accumulated in this area for countless years were released and revitalized.

The tribes and kingdoms were able to turn pearls, jade, furs, timber, and even manpower, which they had never needed in the past, into grain, cloth, salt, iron, gold, and copper.

It's like a man who lives deep in the mountains and never interacts with the outside world, but his house is full of oil.

However, he could not feed his stomach with the oil, and he often starved.

But one day, the trenches from **** came.

A check was thrown on his face, and countless zeros made him get out of poverty and become well-off.

Now the same is true of these tribes and kingdoms of Anton.

In the past, ginseng and pearls, which were not much different from weeds and stones, became wealth.

Even the slaves of the past have become mobile wealth.

In today's Han Dynasty, the cost of slaves has reached an unattainable level.

A male slave needs at least 20,000 yuan.

And in Anton, hiring a 'dispatched slave' is only a few hundred dollars a year.

It's just the price of a few stones of corn.

With a few stones of corn, exchange for a laborer.

It's a great deal!

In Chinese mainland, you can't find such a beautiful thing at all!

Not to mention, these slaves never need to pay the calculation!

Because they are dispatch workers......

Therefore, in Anton, not only the government now employs a large number of people, but also private individuals, such as the military dependents of the Protector Army, as well as various reclamation regiments, who also hire cheap 'dispatched slave labor'.

And the slaves were happy with such a life.

Although it is hard, tiring, and dangerous to do things for the father of the Han Dynasty.

But I can eat a full stomach!

So, in fact, the rule of the Han family in Andong relied on the advanced productivity and the more powerful physique and digestive capacity to create scissors poor.

It's like those fur Dongzhu and jade, ginseng.

In the local area, in addition to fur, it may still be a little useful, Dongzhu and Meiyu also have ginseng, what can they be used for?

But, as soon as the Han arrived, they turned into wealth.

Moreover, the Han family's huge physique and vast market are enough to digest what the locals can't sell at all.

On the other hand, because the labor cost of the Han family was much higher than that of the Andong tribes (for these tribes and kingdoms, the labor cost was about zero), so the Han government and private individuals were full of interest in slaves from various countries.

As long as you are willing to buy, I will definitely sell it.

And the 'dispatch system' can avoid the heavy calculation, which makes people even more happy.

Of course, the more important reason is that the local Han people already have a certain base, and can create wealth and produce food.

In addition, the explosion of human resources and wealth brought about by the gold rush also alleviated the development cost of the Andong region of the Han dynasty to a certain extent, and further improved the centripetal force and cohesion of these tribes and kingdoms to Chang'an.

The explosion of wealth and resources in the local area further attracted Han merchants.

In this way, in the core area of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, the scene that Liu Che saw today was formed.

These nobles, these kings, almost all got rich overnight.

Their money came too easily, and their lives were too comfortable.

Therefore, naturally, the temperament of the nouveau riche is also undoubted.

All kinds of comparisons and showing off wealth are endless.

They don't even look at money as money.

To be reasonable, in fact, whether it's Haoren, Zhenban or South Korea.

They are all pigs raised in the Han Dynasty.

If Liu Che wants to slaughter, he can slaughter at any time.

Collect their wealth and slaves and land from the center.

They may not even be able to resist anymore - can you expect these pot-bellied, gold-and-silver-wearing, gold-swathing trenches in the temple to go to war again?

No more!

But......

Liu Che didn't want to do that.

The reason is simple.

Liu Che and the Han family are not short of these money, and it is impossible to be so careless.

Not to mention......

"Isn't it easy to squeeze money out of the nouveau riche?"

"Do you need such a rough approach?"

If you can make money standing still, why should you be a wicked person and ruin your reputation and reputation?

Thinking like this, Liu Che raised the wine bottle and said to the feudal monarchs and noble ministers sitting in the hall: "Zhuqing has come from afar, and has worked hard all the way, I am the first, Shun Ye, the first of Zhuqing, or Qingyang, or Jintian, and I are the first, and the source is the same, to some extent, it can be regarded as my clan!" (To be continued.) )
