To say a very unpleasant thing, if the Han people refuse to accept foreign women, I don't know how many people have to be single all their life, or the phenomenon of marrying a 13-year-old Han woman at the age of 40 or 50 has become a common thing.
There has always been a big gap in the proportion of men and women in the Han Dynasty. Since the ninth year of Yuanshuo, the country's war ostensibly aims to open up territory. In fact, no one has a good intention. Siming said it was population plunder.
When the government opened up all places outside the country, it only had to promulgate the "plunder license". The Han people first rushed into the Indochina Peninsula and caught one alien. The male alien must be used as a slave, and the experience of the female alien is much more complicated.
There are many yellow people in Indochina Peninsula, but there are more dark skin there.
To speak of, the Han people have a great ability to accept dark skin.
Dignitaries and dignitaries can keep their skin white. Ordinary people need to work every day. Their skin will turn black after being exposed to the sun for a long time. Ordinary people do not have much resistance to accepting foreign women with dark skin.
"There is no shortage of (female) slaves from Indochina Peninsula in the minister's family." Ji Chang said with a very satisfied expression, "the men over there are very unbearable, and the women are actually very good."
Men in Indochina Peninsula are basically too lazy to die, while women are very diligent.
Han people never look at their appearance when they marry a wife, but whether their wife can run a family. They found that the Indochina Peninsula woman they got was a housewife. Even if their facial features were different from those of Han women, they were happy.
Liu Yan is actually quite speechless. He knows that the male monkeys of later generations are really unbearable. Unexpectedly, they are not so unbearable in modern times. It turned out that they were like this in ancient times.
"I have asked my officials to investigate." Ji Chang decided to speak with data: "the survey shows that more than 90% of the people are satisfied, and only 10% are dissatisfied. Dissatisfaction is that they feel that some customs are different."
Is that a cold joke? Liu yanle, the ministers who came to thank him together also cooperated to "ha ha" laugh.
It has never been a problem that the language between Han people and foreign women is different. In fact, even if the phenomenon of "ten miles of different sounds and hundreds of miles of different customs" is absolutely common, it is not an obstacle that foreign women do not understand Chinese. Customs are very important for Han people.
Today is the second day of the first month of the 13th year of Yuanshuo. It has been a night for Liu Yan to declare himself Emperor and grant a reward. Whether Liu Yan is willing to give a reward, or whether the reward has met his expectations, Xie en must have this behavior.
After another, someone came into the palace to thank him. According to the process, Liu Yan needed to put down a banquet.
Thirty seven princes, including former and latter, came to Shane. Now they are arranged on the ring seat of zhangtai and sit in the shape of an arch guard Liu Yan.
During the Chinese new year, not only the people need to rest, but also officials have a month's holiday.
People don't have much time to be happy. Depending on the family situation, some poor and self-motivated people will start working after a three-day rest. Even if they can live a good life, they will rest until the ninth day at most.
Officials take a month off, but in fact, many officials do not take consecutive holidays. After the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, they take turns with their colleagues. Some officials worked as usual after the ninth day of junior high school.
People all over the world have time to rest, but Liu Yan won't have a day's holiday. For example, setting a banquet today is also part of his work.
Liu Yan is giving a banquet in honor of his ministers, and Cui Wan is also giving a banquet on the other side.
Cui Wan is dealing with the wives of the marquis. What she hasn't done in the past will be done today.
The so-called thing is to give them an order. Cui Wan will give them an order with proper treatment as a queen. Women with an order can also get a salary every month.
"Indochina Peninsula is a treasure house!" Xu Zheng had a hangover last night. He entered the palace city without sleeping for a while. If he hadn't been wearing incense clothes, he would have smelled of wine: "it's a really good place!"
It's certain to have a few drinks in the new year. There are more than a few happy things. One of the 37 Marquis drank a lot last night. If he didn't need to go to the palace the next day, Shane must have drunk Ning tincture.
Only a few of them didn't wear incense clothes, one of them was ran min.
"That's your Majesty's kindness." Although ran min smelled of wine and didn't sleep all night last night, he was very energetic: "everyone who rushed over has made a fortune!"
The crowd laughed again.
Indochina Peninsula is the first paradise for the Han people after stepping out of the old land of the Han family. The army enters first, and the army behind becomes the sea god needle.
The so-called sea god needle never moves lightly. Otherwise, it would be cheaper for some brave people to be called sea god needle.
Military plunder is the mode of confiscation and redistribution, while private people need to pay taxes.
The distribution mode of the army is basically 60% confiscation. A soldier can get 40% of what he plundered. Soldiers without a wife can distribute high-quality alien women according to their credit. If there is no credit, they can buy them in the army at a price far less than that of the people.
For private plunder teams, their tax payment methods are relatively complex. As many as 80% of the tax is paid for luxury goods, 30% for non luxury goods, and no tax is levied on grain goods.
In fact, the high tax on luxury goods is a very reasonable thing. They can sell at a high price, and the buyers will also be rich. An ordinary article can sell one hundred and fifty baht, but a luxury can sell tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of five baht. Even if 80% tax is charged, the seller can still get far more five baht than ordinary articles.
The government will set high taxes on luxury goods, which is actually to curb and crack down on luxury goods transactions.
The civilization level of Indochina Peninsula is not high. When the Han people plunder there, they can't grab anything too valuable most of the time. They can get luxury goods. Either they just robbed an Aboriginal who built a house with emerald raw stone or other raw stones, or they can rush for gold next to the aboriginal village, or they can't grab any luxury goods.
In the early stage, the army and private looting teams could also harvest good materials. In the back, they basically robbed all of them and focused on the indigenous population.
Relevant data show that after the Han people rushed into the Indochina Peninsula, they created an economic income of more than one million five baht in a few short years, which was based on the discovery of many jadeite mines, gold mines and many precious timber.
It can be said that as long as they went to the Indochina Peninsula, none of the Han people returned home poor. Not only did the people who went get rich, but the country also kept burping.
Economic benefits are only one of them. Plundering a large number of people is actually valued by the state.
The labor force captured from Indochina Peninsula has alleviated the lack of labor in China. It is said that it is relatively important to solve the marriage problem of at least 300000 bachelors.
Taxes must be paid. Without the strength of the country behind them, it is impossible for them to rob recklessly.
Private people should never say why they should separate profits from their labor achievements. The situation is that the country's army is open and a strong country is behind it.
If the country is not strong enough to rob other countries, believe it or not, the robbed country will send someone to catch it and give an explanation?
The example of the Indochina Peninsula is the reason why there was not much opposition to the repeated opening of war.
The latter is another model for the western regions. The state comes forward to organize, supplemented by the regular army and dominated by civilian forces.
"The example of the western regions is very good." Xu Zheng is in charge of military affairs. He can see quite a lot of data: "the consumption of state funds is only for necessary arms, uniform clothing and early supplies, and the investment is only 15 million (five baht)."
If the army is sent, the first preparation of 50000 troops will not only be 15 million five baht, but also at least 85 million five baht, or even more.
Eighty five million baht will only be the first expenditure, and there will be many subsequent expenditures. Depending on the war process and whether it is smooth or not, it will not be too strange to spend hundreds of millions of baht after the war in the western regions.
The simplest example is emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty's three expeditions to the western regions. For the first time, he saved some money, which only cost 85 million baht. For the second time, it increased to 250 million baht, and for the third time, it exceeded 350 million baht. The number of troops sent out repeatedly will not exceed 20000 at most (excluding the people who bring their own dry food).
When the Han family started the national war, it always depends on the income. Even if the Western Han Dynasty beat the Huns for revenge, it also noticed the expenditure and harvest. It said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a militarist. Why not look at how many people enthusiastically brought their own dry food to follow the army at that time, and why not investigate the decline in domestic meat prices after the war between the Han and Hungary.
"The data that can be seen..." Ji Chang didn't want to be a platform for the military. He said fairly: "although it's not more rewarding than attacking the Indochina Peninsula, it also has a profit of 340000 (five baht)
Ji Chang said that the income is not the net profit of land, but the slave trade behind it.
At that moment, Liu Yan looked at Huan Wen, and then everyone's eyes were on Huan Wen.
"The expeditionary War (Han Ji war) is only a little data at the beginning." Ji Chang is still the prime minister now. If you don't want to see some data, you have to see: "only the preliminary data, the statistical income exceeds four Indochina Peninsula, reaching 4 million."
Huan Wen immediately showed a reserved smile.
A San was so rich that even the Romans and Persians were jealous. The Han Army estimated that the gains from Fahrenheit City alone reached 28 billion. If it was not a big city, there would be more gains. It depends on the nature of the region. Some a San cities rich in gold made considerable profits.
"Four million is only an estimate of 40% of the gains." Ji Chang couldn't help looking at Xie an, who would become the Minister of household, and joked: "Anshi will be very busy just estimating the gains of a San continent in the future."
It also caused a burst of "ha ha" laughter, and they would be happy in their hearts while laughing. After all, their vassal state is located in the A3 continent.
It is estimated that the 40% achievement has a value of 40 billion, which does not mean that the latter 60% will have a value of 60 billion. It is uncertain that the latter 60% will not even have a valuation of 10 billion, but they are willing to think in a better direction.
Liu Yan's Han state was never short of money. It can even be said that there was too much money.
Before plundering gold and silver from the Japanese islands, the existence of a bug like Liu Yan would not be short of gold. With the gold and silver of the Japanese islands and repeatedly obtaining wealth from those defeated countries, in fact, it would have happened long ago if the government had not controlled the excessive circulation of precious metals to the people.
Money is money because it can buy goods.
Once gold is flooded, gold will not be more valuable than iron. Even the value of gold will be far lower than iron. At least iron can be made into various tools and weapons.
All kinds of gossip all morning. Near noon, thirty-seven princes left the palace city together, and their wives would not go home until evening.
Stay until night? That's the custom of returning to your mother's house on the second day of the first month.
How did the custom of returning to your mother's house come about on the second day of the first month? It had to be the Ming Dynasty. The origin of the custom was given by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Two important customs in China, eating moon cakes and going back to his mother's house, are related to Lao Zhu.
When the minister returned, Liu Yan began his busy work again.
For Liu Yan, who combines the emperor and the emperor, there are too many most important and complicated things during the new year, especially today there is one more emperor.
Every year, some important sacrifices are also one of the things that the emperor must do. However, Liu Yan's situation is special. The link of worshiping the ancestral temple can be omitted, and only the sacrifice to Xuanyuan temple can be omitted.
The sacrificial ceremony was held on the same day after awarding all officials, Liu Yan took all officials and high barons with him.
What Liu Yan needs to do today is to deal with the choice of beautiful women presented by other countries, the most important of which are Rome and sassanne.
"How are things I asked you to do?"
"Back to your majesty, you have achieved initial results."
The state treasury of the Han Empire is in a dilemma of too much money to know how to spend. In the short term, it will not start a large-scale war of annihilation. It is imperative to maintain peace and open trade with other countries, so it is natural to marry Rome and sassanne.
Liu Yan began to read some information from the investigation, all about the wind speech of the marriage object.
The marriage is bound to be carried out. Fortunately, it has to be selective. Before looking at her appearance, learn about her past. Because she doesn't directly go to her country to collect intelligence, she can only spy on one side from the people who came with her, but it's still better to do than not do well.
Liu Yantong looked down, picked up his pen and drew on the list.
Those who hit "X" are naturally eliminated.
Those who hit "O" are on the candidate list.
If she is passed, she will carry out a round of face selection. Liu Yan can only carry out the next round if he feels like it.
"I'm the first to open diplomatic relations?"
Liu Yan made a mistake again. The first person to use "stick diplomacy" was the first emperor. He not only accepted the beauties of the six countries of Zhuxia, but also accepted some foreign beauties.
