Chapter 686

In fact, Liu Yan has been busy enough recently. He didn't deliberately take it easy to see envoys from various countries.

The large-scale drought is coming, and all counties are constantly preparing to resist the disaster. The materials that need to be allocated by the center are calculated in large quantities. At this time, the significance of Liu Yanjin's fingers is highlighted, and a considerable number of materials need to be distributed by himself.

Another troublesome thing is that sang Yu made another big move. He inspected all localities to investigate lawlessness and severely cleaned up a group of merchants who maliciously hoarded grain when they were aware of the arrival of the disaster year. It must be said that behind the big merchants, there must be people with platforms, either in the government or local aristocratic families and haos. Although the Han state has repeatedly cleaned up aristocratic families and haos, it is not a indiscriminate blow. A considerable number of aristocratic families and haos actually form a common interest with the Han state.

"Bastard!" Liu Yan patted the table with an angry face: "it's not enough to rest with the country? The center worked hard to deal with the disaster year, but they took the opportunity to do it!"

Corruption and lawlessness cannot be eradicated at any time, but they are not serious. It is difficult to have a person with noble morality in the world. Corruption is bound to occur after mastering power. This is true whether supervision exists or not, that is, rigorous supervision can deter people to the greatest extent.

It is very easy for Liu Yan to investigate corruption. He personally allocates most of the materials. After delivery, there is no so-called transportation loss. When the delivered materials are put into the warehouse, there will be relevant records and relevant provisions where they are used.

No matter where the materials are used, it doesn't matter if they are sent out, but also signed by the receiver. Everything is clearly recorded. How brave or stupid do people dare to reach out? But some people always think that only they are smart. Except themselves, others are fools and really dare to stretch out their hands.

Sang Yu's inspection tour is more of a deterrent. Although the imperial envoy doctor after the restructuring is still three public, it can be said that he is the supreme justice. The Dali temple is responsible for the supervision, and the Tingwei office has the right to arrest people.

The center that has long been aware of the emergence of corruption and lawlessness is to mobilize a large number of people to rush to various counties, some are deterred in the open, and more are hidden in the dark.

Obviously, there have been a lot of battles to deter, or the continuous corruption of officials and the phenomenon of aristocratic families and Haozu reaching out are the main reasons for Liu Yan's anger.

"Kill a group and exile a group, and all the people involved will have their property confiscated." Cui Yue is the censor. When the imperial envoy doctor sang Yu, the censor's middle Cheng Xie AI and the censor's King Jian are not in the center, he is the one who reports to the king. Perhaps to reduce Liu Yan's anger, he said: "their corruption and lawlessness have added a lot of grain reserves to the big man."

At present, those who can be officials basically have families behind them. Aristocratic families or Haozu who are capable of reaching out to public property are not much weaker. The perpetrators are brought to justice. The perpetrators themselves are not involved, and the families behind them are bound to be involved.

For quite a long time, Zhuxia civilization talked about one person breaking the law and all families committing the same crime, but it was aimed at aristocratic families and big families. The opposing people were not so cruel.

There is nothing to say about aristocratic families and big families being targeted. The benefits obtained by aristocratic families breaking the law are family interests. From the elderly with white hair to the hungry babies, everyone enjoys the benefits brought by lawlessness. Since you have enjoyed it, you naturally don't have to run when you wait to be disposed of. Only when all dynasties are finished, will the whole family be finished.

"Even sitting" is not aimed at the people. It is not the kindness of the government. Even if the people break the law, they usually can't grab much benefits. The biggest law they can commit is murder. It's really not the same level as the law committed by aristocratic families and Haozu. Then, the threat of individual people, aristocratic families and Haozu to the rulers is different. Even the rulers should dress up for false kindness. There is no great threat and can win a wave of people's hearts. Many times, the legal principle is nothing more than human feelings.

Cui Yue's so-called killing a group, exile a group and confiscation of family property are not based on the wishes of the king or investigators. It is a clear sentencing in the Han law. Naturally, the principal offender will die, his family members and accomplices will be exiled, and his family property will be taken into state ownership.

Now Han exile is to choose Indochina Peninsula, which is an alternative means of immigration, mainly to enrich the population.

Cui Yue finished the report. He had just left. Not long after, LV Yi came over.

"After consultation, all countries have agreed to purchase grain by Dahan." LV Yi felt that he had only made a difference recently, or he had nothing to do. As soon as something happened, many foreign embassies from afar came: "Sir, look... When will Hongru hall send people?"

Liu Yan is naturally very happy about this matter. The Han country is most short of food now. He can even do the thing of levying a country only to plunder food.

"All countries agree that Han people go to their own countries?" Liu Yan was confirmed, but he couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he said, "it's so good!"

There is a map of the world drawn by Liu Yan in the Han Dynasty, but it's really unreliable. He draws an outline that doesn't know right or wrong according to his own memory. Don't expect anything about latitude, and the distance is absolutely no reference.

Liu Yan knows where Rome is and where the Persian sassanne is. For other countries, he has no geographical concept at all.

Besides, isn't the map unreliable? All countries agreed that in the past, the Han people could carry out relevant exploration, make a serious map, and understand to the greatest extent what the situation in various countries is. If they really want to do it, it is definitely a major event in history, not to mention providing the Han Army's future battle objectives.

"Countries come from the sea, and great men will certainly go from the sea." LV Yi said happily, "in this way, the big man will have more routes and no longer need to explore by himself."

The state of Han is an aggressive country. Liu Yan's "endless conquest" is at least understood and recognized by the central ministers. After repeated research, they have learned that even if the state of Han re controls the western region, it will not be easy to expand from the land to the west again and again. The western region itself is full of Gobi and desert, but there is a large desert farther to the West, Through this invasion, the Gupta Dynasty found that it was much more convenient to attack from the sea than by land.

The Han state has explored the South 1 sea for five years, and it is not safe to say that it has completely understood the sea area of the South 1 sea, and even the islands south of Luzon have not been explored. The exploration of Malacca was only one year. If there had not been a military operation to rob the territory of assan, in fact, it would not have entered the assan ocean so soon. It should have been after the greatest exploration.

The fault tolerance rate of navigation is much lower than that of land. Up to now, there are still ships that will lose their way in the South 1 sea, especially after entering the sea area of Sulu Sea, which has become a common phenomenon, resulting in the Han people's exploration of the sea area is very slow. Liu Yan expected to find Australia soon. Nothing happened at all.

"My Lord." LV Yi could see that Liu Yan was very happy, but he didn't understand why. He also reported other things: "the Roman envoy has been making friends with Han officials recently and telling them about the history of Rome."

Olus Setus Cicero was worried that the Han state was getting closer and closer to Persian sassanne. In order to let the Han state know more about Rome, Cicero constantly invited Han officials he knew to dinner, and asked the other Romans to move around and publicize Rome.

"According to the Romans, their history goes back to the end of the Shang Dynasty in the Central Plains..." Lv Yi obviously had an understanding and talked about some of the history told by the Romans themselves, which was basically something Liu Yan had some impressions. He finished what he knew and asked curiously, "is the history of Rome really that long?"

How to put it? Although Rome has always been called Rome, Rome also has its own dynasty replacement, such as from the parliamentary system to a total of 1 and 1 country, from the Republic to the dynasty (Giants), and then from the dynasty (consul) to the imperial system (Augustus). Their rulers have not been continued by a family, but have undergone many changes.

In the history of Rome, their civilization rose from the ninth century BC. It first went through the era of monarchy before entering the period of 1 and 1 countries. It was also during the period of 1 and 1 countries that they gradually conquered the Italian peninsula. With the basic plate of the Italian peninsula, they began to compete for hegemony in the Mediterranean.

"It's really that long." Liu Yan affirmed this point. He didn't want LV Yi, as a Dianke (equivalent to foreign minister), to appear ignorant. He talked about some Roman history he knew. Finally, he said: "any civilization has its own rise and decline. For example, there are not many ancient civilizations that have been continued in Zhuxia. They are Zhuxia, Rome and ah San."

LV Yi didn't dare to ask why Liu Yan knew so much. After listening to the "era of the three giants" in Rome, he also learned about the more than 100 year war between Rome and Parthia. When he learned that Rome destroyed Parthia, he immediately became weak and sighed. He also had his own ideas about "officer chaos".

What Liu Yan knows is just a summary. His description of LV Yi is actually wrong. Rome and Parthia have fought more than a hundred years of war. Seriously, they have fought intermittently for nearly 300 years.

The first conflict between Rome and Parthia took place in the 1970s BC. Pompeii clashed with Parthia on the side of Rome. In order to pursue the enemy, Pompeii's Roman Legion fought with the Parthian army ruled by frat III in Armenia. Roma won a small victory and temporarily stopped the war.

The second was the crusade of Krasu. Rome fought with seven legions (about 35000 people), 4000 light cavalry and 4000 light infantry. At least 10000 cavalry (including 1000 heavy armor cavalry) of the Parthian army. The battle ended with Krasu's death, the Roman army was completely annihilated by the Parthian army, and Krasu's head was filled with gold by the Parthians.

Behind Rome and Parthia, there are countless large-scale or small wars. In fact, the two sides win or lose each other, and Parthia wins more times. There are clear documentary records that show that the war between Rome and Parthia really lasted nearly 300 years. If you look at the history of World War, the war between Rome and Parthia was only a war that took 335 years (long-term declaration of war) to lose to Britain and the Netherlands.

Then again, if the Huns invaded the Central Plains from the pre Qin Dynasty, and then Liu Yuan destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty, there is a saying that the war between the Han people and the Huns lasted for 500 years?

Liu Yan can probably guess why the Romans want to talk about their history. He just wants the Han country to understand that Rome is not a small fish and shrimp. On the contrary, he wants the Han country to know how great Rome exists.

"They do this to make the big man weigh." LV Yi said about the alliance object: "otherwise... They don't have to mention the destruction of the Sabbath Empire again and again."

Yes, the official name of Parthia should be rest in peace.

Han did not have to form an alliance with anyone, especially Han did not have the ability to extend its hand so far. Therefore, Han did not want to give any formal response at all, regardless of whether it had been seeking an alliance with Persian sassanne or Rome.

"We don't need to join their war, but we can carry out some necessary strategies." Liu Yan actually agrees with olus Setus Some of Cicero's views, that is, the difference between far and near in Geopolitics: "if the Romans want to buy weapons, sell them, and even let the Persians buy weapons from big men. In terms of commodities, there is nothing that big men can't sell except firearms."

According to the strategy of long-distance and close attack, even if the Han country wants to choose an ally, it is also appropriate for Rome. The alliance between the two can really carve up the world island. When necessary, Liu Yanzhen also chooses Rome instead of Persian sassanne. However, the current Han country has no need for alliance at all.

LV Yi has no relevant concept of making war money, but Liu Yan is deeply impressed by how the United States has grown, and the Han country can not only make war money by doing so. The more intense the fight between Rome and Persian sassanne, the better it is for the Han country. The Han country cannot expand so far for the time being, But when Rome and Persian sassanne beat their brains, they could start with some small countries first.

Han needs to expand. At present, there are many ownerless places. There are many islands in the south, and the Southwest has begun to operate. The value of land (Siberia) in the north is even higher than that in the Central Plains, but it is not necessary to fight against countries of the same level.

"I see." LV Yi really understood: "do not refuse the will of the two countries to form an alliance, but do not give a formal reply, and use their contradictions to grab more interests for the big men."

How did Liu Yan hear the feeling of "British excrement stirring stick"? But he greatly appreciated LV Yi's consciousness.
