Chapter 989

No matter how the situation is changed, some people seem to be destined to remain famous in history in a variety of ways.

In the original history, ran min set up the army because Shi Hu promised to be the crown prince and reneged. Many sons of Shi Hu attacked and killed each other, giving ran min the opportunity to stand on his own. No matter what ran min embarked on the road of resistance, he did shelter a considerable number of his compatriots in the chaotic North at that time, and finally ended his life with a tragic end.

In this history (face position) changed by Liu Yan, ran min was also forced to embark on the road of opposition to Zhu Hu. If there is any difference, Liu Yan brought ran min a more distinctive thought of "no independence between Han and Hu".

Everyone will have their own personal settings. Some people don't like being a bad person so much. If they can choose, they will want to be a good person. The problem is that after taking a wrong step, too many people choose a way to go to the black.

Those who chose to work for the captives in turbulent times may only protect themselves and keep their family at first. For the first time, they raised a sharp weapon and cut it down. They immediately understood that only in this way can they get the trust of their master. In the future, they will no longer have to harm their peers, but will regard the harm of their peers as performance.

Once dyed black, it is not easy to wash white. Some people seize the opportunity to wash themselves white. Even if they force themselves to follow the new human design, they can generally do it until death.

Liu Yan doesn't really know ran min. As he knows, ran min changed too much after and before he took refuge in himself.

How can a person who can be reused and valued in the Hu Lu camp be a reckless person? No matter how deep the city is, the basic camouflage must pass.

After becoming a member of Liu Yan's command, ran min repeatedly showed that he was like a reckless man. Others would worry about being like fire and water with his colleagues, but he repeatedly set up an opponent for himself.

Liu Yan can understand why ran min was like that, all because ran min was attached with a large number of people.

A man who once became king, who he took a large number of followers to take refuge in, and who dared to be brothers and sisters in the new circle, was definitely too long for his life.

Ran Min has successfully created an image of democracy, democracy and righteousness for himself, so of course he wants to show hostility and hatred to other races.

According to Liu Yi, the Minister of Ran min's family, making trouble is afraid to offend all people. As long as you can stand on the same side with the son of heaven, you will offend all people. So what.

In addition to acting deliberately because of the relationship between people, ran min thinks he is doing an extremely right thing.

At the small court meeting the next day, ran min once again threw out the topic of castration of male slaves without waiting for what to play in the three provinces and six ministries.

The ministers who had been informed in advance fell into absolute silence for a time.

In fact, they didn't know that it was the right thing. No one wanted the efforts of their generation, and even the efforts of several generations of Han people, to make wedding clothes for the group of people who not only killed and squeezed themselves.

There is no joke. From Liu Yan's war against Hu (340 A.D.) to the 14th year of Yuanshuo (357 A.D.) after the founding of the people's Republic of China, they destroyed more than two million alien races on the battlefield.

At least two million aliens have been killed on the battlefield alone, so how can the number of aliens who indirectly died in the war not be less than 10 million?

In 17 years, 10 million people were wiped out in the form of war. Other acts after the war, such as slavery and looting, are actually more about reducing the alien population.

At present, there are 13 million slaves officially recorded in the Han Empire. They are still living slaves.

The Han Empire started various projects wantonly from the eighth year of Yuanshuo (349 AD). Until the ninth year of Yuanshuo, corvee was still the main labor force, but after the tenth year of Yuanshuo, slaves became the main labor force.

Especially in road construction, the Han Empire basically could use slaves, so it would never use the corvee.

In such an era when everything depends on both hands, road construction is not an easy thing. It can even be said that the casualties caused by road construction will be very terrible.

Data show that just building a 230 mile road from Ruyin county to Chen County consumed as many as 140000 slaves.

The road from Ruyin county to Chenjun county is still on a relatively flat plain. There are not many mountains along the way. It is a relatively easy terrain for the whole road section.

The road from Chenjun to Luoyang is 450 miles long, but 470000 slaves are consumed. The distance is twice the difference, but the consumption of slaves is three times the difference. Of course, the reason is that the environment for building roads is different.

So far, the two cross national highways centered on Chang'an can only be said to have begun to take shape, which is far from the real completion. The number of slaves who have been consumed for road construction is an amazing 3.6 million!

There will be such exaggerated consumption. On the one hand, it is related to the road construction environment. On the other hand, the Han people really don't cherish slaves.

According to relevant data, as many as 220000 people died in building straight roads from Guanzhong to Beidi in the pre-Qin period. Most of the dead were prisoners of war from the six countries.

The Northern Song dynasty built a road less than a hundred miles in the south, only because it was located in the southwest. More than 60000 people died when building a road less than a hundred miles, which indirectly gave Fang La more opportunities to buy people's hearts, so he started a rebellion.

If you read history, you will definitely find that no matter which dynasty built roads, it is definitely the most dangerous thing to be recruited and issued corvee to build roads, which is more dangerous than being recruited and issued corvee to build sleeping tombs.

Before the reform of various departments in the Han Empire, the prime minister's office made a special estimate. If you want to complete the construction of the two national roads, you must be prepared to consume at least 8 million people.

The total length of the two national highways will not be less than ten thousand miles. They are not only built for hiking and car frames, but also built galloping roads in some sections. According to Jichang's straightforward report, it is a very small number to say that eight million people died.

Liu Yan still understood why there were such exaggerated consumption figures. He thought of Yang Guang.

According to some records, more than two million people died before and after Yang Guang built the canal.

I don't know whether there is such an exaggerated number of deaths, or whether it is politically correct... For example, fraud is only used to discredit the previous dynasty, but the number of deaths must be very large, which will be a fact.

It seems that there is such a one-sided record. Fei Ju suggested to Yang Guang that more time should be spent on building the canal. He said that the cost of money and wealth would be reduced several times, and the casualties would not exceed 200000 at most.

Then it is very clear that the same project will not only reduce the expenditure, but also completely different casualties due to different time consumption.

Liu Yan doesn't know this truth. If, according to the normal situation, in the era of simply using manpower as labor force, it won't take one or two hundred years to build a ten thousand mile road, but they plan to complete it within 20 years, they will have to bear the inevitable cost.

If the price was to fill the hole with the life of the Han people, Liu Yan would not do whatever he said, but would not have any psychological burden if he consumed the alien.

Until modern times, after the exchange of countries on the earth, taking foreigners' lives to spend on infrastructure projects, no matter how much they praise how civilized they are, they will not blush at all, and even take it for granted.

Under every sleeper of the North American Railway, there is a body of Chinese workers, which is a disgrace to the Chinese, but it is a story that the white people can show off.

In fact, the Han Empire was able to plan so many huge projects and even pay them for action because it did not cherish slaves at all.

If there were no slaves, not only Liu Yan, it should be said that any minister would not have the mind to plan the project.

So far, more than 3.6 million slaves have died in road construction, and no less than 2 million slaves have died in mines. About 2.3 million slaves have been consumed on other occasions.

Is it enough to consume nearly six million slaves in seventeen years? If it were not for the value created by slaves, the speed would be very slow.

Liu Yan knew that a fellow ruler had killed more than 100 million people in a short period of more than 20 years from his rise to becoming a overlord.

More than 30 million people were killed when the kingdom of Jin was exterminated, and more than 2 million people were killed when the Xixia was exterminated. Almost all huala Zimo were killed. Waiting for his descendants to become the rulers of various regions, the population who died in this family will never be less than 200 million. More than 40 million people died in the war in the Southern Song Dynasty alone.

So far, no more than 20 million people have died directly or indirectly in the war ignited by the Han Empire. The territory of the Han Empire is actually about half less than that under the rule of that family.

That's about ten to one, and the Han people's army did not carry out malicious slaughter except against the Jie people. It's not too much to say that the Han people have been very kind.

"The number of foreign nationalities under the rule of the Han Dynasty was about 40 million." Ji Chang quit as prime minister, but as a Chinese missionary, he can still grasp the first-hand information: "the number of protectors in Tianzhu is the largest, and there are nearly 30 million ah San there alone."

Before the collapse of the Gupta Empire, according to their own demographic statistics, there were more than 6 million people excluding Dalits, and more than 37 million including Dalits.

The Han Empire destroyed the Gupta empire. Several large exhibitions wiped out nearly 400000 troops of the Gupta Empire, but there was no subjective killing of the people.

To say where the Han people consciously and planned to carry out massacres, it must be the islands of Nanyang. That's why the aborigines of those islands in Nanyang are barbaric enough. If they don't kill enough people, the aborigines don't know what fear is.

Huanwen had been directly under the central government of Nanyang before. When he signed the report, he cleared 17 islands. The so-called emptiness is to kill all, while the aborigines killed by the Han people are cannibals.

"More and more is inevitable." Ji Chang glanced at ran min and said expressionless, "I think the newly arrested male slaves should indeed be castrated."

Liu Yan understood that the male slaves arrested in the future were not private property, so there would be no damage to anyone's existing interests, but castration of those who had become private property was opposed by Ji Chang.

"Don't forget a little." Ran min is fooling around today. Everything is good. He must let the issue pass: "the registered slaves of the Han Dynasty are not official slaves, but there are more than three million slaves owned by the people."

"Chang knows." Ji Chang looked at ran min without fear and said in an orderly manner, "it is precisely because of the large number that there are scruples."

"The Great Han has an unchanging national policy of 'sacred and inviolable private property'." Sang Yu also opened his mouth and said, "those slaves already belong to private people. How can they intervene? Moreover, it's not the same to replace them with new castrated slaves?"

"In the final analysis, you are staring at your own interests." Ran min roared, "have you forgotten how the Western Jin Dynasty perished?"

No one has forgotten, but it's really too difficult to do. If they really want to implement it, they must be fully prepared to put out fire everywhere. For them, they don't worry about putting out riots or rebellion. Doing so is tantamount to overturning Liu Yan's law of "sacred and inviolable private property". It is so serious that the country's credibility is broken that they can't take it lightly.

The truth is really like that. Liu Yan can overthrow a rule he has set because of something. Everyone will think whether he will ignore the rules he has set one day? Then what are the rules for.

"In short, the act of castrating slaves must be passed!" Ran min stood up directly, sneered at his colleagues and said, "if you don't sign, let the Hussars general establish the shogunate, and take the Hussars general shogunate as the leader and executor to do this!"

Ji Chang was so angry that he raised his finger and ran min couldn't say a word.

It's not that whoever carries out it is equal to not breaking the contract. It's that when things are done, it is equal to breaking the contract. It's really not something that ran min can carry down alone.

"Enforcement..." Lv Yuzhen didn't want to wade into the muddy water, but he had found Liu Yan's face more and more ugly, so he said what he thought was feasible: "enforcement is not desirable. If people can implement it spontaneously, they can have both ends."

"Ha ha, just talking about you and jumping around..." ran min continued to sneer, regardless of some people's anger: "as important officials of the country, can you expect others to agree?"

"Yongzeng, just stop." Xu Zheng pulled ran min to go back to his seat. He pulled it several times and failed to pull it. He said in embarrassment, "everyone here, who will have that interest and whose interest is those slaves."

Ran min ignored so much and looked at the people angrily.

Sitting in front of you, Liu Yan, who has been listening to you all the time, looked at LV Yi and asked, "what are the feasible suggestions of the Minister of rites?"

Ran min was stunned, took a look at Liu Yan, looked at LV Yi who seemed to have a plan, hesitated again and again, and then walked back to his seat. He wanted to hear if LV Yi could name a flower.
