Chapter 686 Only the Chinese nation can last a long time (the finale)
Ten years have passed... No, Liu Tao hopes to pass ten years in one go, but in fact he really can't do it. Three years have passed by following the rules and regulations. In 201, Liu Cong and Liu Qiong are both fifteen years old in the blink of an eye.
The difference is that Liu Cong's learning pressure has become greater, and he has entered into comprehensive learning from enlightenment; Liu Qiong and Guan Ping have been engaged and will get married in three years.
Who would have thought that what Liu Qiong liked was Guan Ping, who had come to the palace with his mother. This kid was different from Guan Xing, who was stubborn and had a precocious and steady person. Perhaps because of Guan Yu's absence in his early years, he developed a character that he had cultivated with his mother.
The main reason is that he is more mature than his peers and will not give the feeling of an older boy. He is a little older than Liu Qiong in terms of age, and there will not be too much difference. No wonder Liu Qiong said at the beginning, "I don't like those little kids."
Of course, it was not only Liu Qiong who was engaged, but Liu Cong was actually engaged. The one who had an engagement with him was Zhang Fei's eldest daughter. Unfortunately, it was not the one who came from Zhang Fei and Xiahou Juan.
However, Zhang Fei and Xiahou Juan met at a banquet. The two quickly got together like dry firewood, as if they were born and destined to be married. They didn't care that they were more than ten years apart in age and got together.
The original wife Wang Li died of dysfunctional delivery two years ago, so Xiahou Juan married into the Zhang family as a successor.
Lu Yan and Huangfu Tian’s eldest son have a good relationship with Liu Zhi. It seems that it is very likely that another marriage will be another marriage in the future. Liu Tao is not disgusted with this. Everyone is all four brothers, so naturally hope that the friendship can continue to the next generation.
Needless to think about it, the Liu family, the Guan family, the Zhang family and the Lu family must be the core nobles of the Han Dynasty. Then there are the second-classes such as the Xun family, the Guo family, the Xin family, the Jian family and the Shangguan family. The families such as Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and Ma Teng are all ranked in the third-class.
"Three years, do you know how I came from these three years?" Liu Tao roared indignation.
"Your Majesty, isn't this how I have been through these three years?" Qian Fu was startled. How could His Majesty suddenly become excited when he looked at the memorial.
"Oh, nothing, I just suddenly remembered this sentence..." Liu Tao was stunned, and then he remembered that Qian Fu was serving him. He played with old jokes, but he was scared.
It was also when he saw the memorial that the railway from Taiyuan to Hanoi was successfully opened to traffic, so he said so emotion.
After all, there are too few idle people, so in the end, some surrendered people from the Western Regions were brought to build the road, so that the construction could be completed. Otherwise, according to normal circumstances, it would take at least another three years.
However, in the past three years, the smelting technology has been significantly improved. The imperial court has purchased a large amount of money, and of course merchants are trying every means to increase production. The quality cannot be bad? Otherwise, the order will be cancelled.
On the other hand, if the quality is not up to standard, and they intend to blackmail merchants? One or two officials were detained.
Just as Liu Tao sighed three years ago, any policy is inevitably two sides. While overprotecting the railway, some businessmen may inevitably become victims. You can't give up the purchase of railway tracks just because of the exception, right?
The entire Han Dynasty is so big, and there are more railways waiting to be built? Even in the past two years, there are many new populations, but Liu Tao feels that the population is still not enough. Maybe it really takes another seven years to wait until the day when the population explodes slightly.
"Let me see what memorials there are..." Liu Tao continued to read the memorials in order to hide his embarrassment.
Qian Fu was secretly relieved. His Majesty suddenly came, but it scared him. Sure enough, he was getting older and scared without hesitation? Maybe in another year or two, he would almost live back home.
He didn't think about it either? When Liu Tao was twenty-three, when he entered the palace, he was still a little yellow gate, about twenty years old. Strictly speaking, he was younger than Liu Tao. Liu Tao was less than forty years this year, so he retired and returned home with a yarn...
Liu Tao is really reading the memorials. Although he has been reading them for so many years, he has been used to them. Anyway, he works three hours a day and six days off for one day. Don’t be too idle.
The ocean-going expedition team returned from their first trial voyage. After successfully launching the water and voyage last year, they began to explore south this year. They went to Zhang'an and Yongning, and finally arrived in Dongzhi. After making supplies there, they tried to go south to search Penglai Xianshan.
The beginning of the memorial is "lucky and unlucky" as the beginning, and it is obvious that Penglai Island, which is Taiwan Island, has been found.
I also went ashore to find it, but it was just an ordinary island, with no immortals living on it. There is indeed a mountain range named Penglai Mountains. The highest peak will probably be named Penglai Fairy Mountains.
Nowadays, people always think that the higher the gods, the closer they are to the place of gods. There is a legend in the West that people work together to build a high tower, intending to go to heaven, and then anger the gods and punish them.
That is the legend of the ancient Babylonian Tower... Of course, it may be another tower. After all, Liu Tao did not specifically investigate it. Maybe it was the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
The emperor liked to be Fengshan on Mount Tai. On the one hand, it was guided by Confucianism, and on the other hand, some people also thought that it was the highest mountain there, which could directly respond to the heavens and man. Liu Tao had been there once, either Fengshan or traveling. He went to all famous mountains in the past three years.
It turned out that it made sense that people were there Fengshan there. After all, the best way to walk is Mount Tai. Other highs are high and the danger is high. In addition, the road is difficult to walk, and I don’t want to spend money to build the road.
Liu Tao understood that it was not that others were stupid, but that others pretended to be stupid. There is a saying: "It's rare to be confused"!
"Finding Penglai, then Yingzhou Island Chain will be soon..." Liu Tao sighed, "This news came out. I wonder how many people were curious about going over and checking it out, and then they probably would be disappointed, right?"
"Your Majesty tried every means to find three fairy mountains. Of course, the ministers would misunderstand what was on it." Qian Fu explained.
"It doesn't matter, just let them misunderstand it. Maybe some people will move in, which is just my wish!" Liu Tao also planned to make mistakes. If someone settled on it and then developed it, it would be good.
Maybe Liu Tao can also give them the identity of "island master" for fifty years and enjoy the privilege of being a marquis.
People like to misunderstand, but he can't explain it. Maybe the more he explains, the more trouble he gets. Back then, he was just an impulse. Sun Yi suffered for several years, and it was a sin to think about it.
However, Sun Kuang is getting healthier and healthy, and has already gained a foothold in the Ministry of Rites, mainly responsible for the education work.
Many people's fate has changed because of themselves. The most regrettable thing is Huang Zhong, who is really becoming more and more Buddhist. He has to watch it. He is probably going to retire and return home in two years and will teach Huang Xu specifically.
Sun Jian and Cao Cao were still struggling on the front line, but unexpectedly, Huang Zhong, one of the Five Tiger Generals, wanted to leave the battlefield first.
Liu Tao planned to set up a military academy to train excellent officers, which was actually to further strengthen political education. Huang Zhong was rehired as the principal of the military academy to squeeze out his surplus value.
What is really surprising is that lucky man Yang She...
The barbarian woman who saved him was the woman who betrothed to him, the saint of Zhurong tribe, the daughter of the patriarch. According to the rules of the clan, the name of the saint could only be Mrs. Zhurong.
Because of this, Liu Tao supported Zhurong's troops to conduct an expedition to the Southern Central Committee, and then passed one country, two systems, to pacify the Southern Central Region. It was just that it would develop to that place, and it would not last for 20 or 30 years, so I was afraid it would not be able to do it.
I picked up another memorial, which was the war report from Wusun. From last year, the Wusun people probably felt that there was a change of masters in the Western Regions and planned to come and rob, and then they were beaten back by Cao Cao's army.
But the question is that since you dare to invade, how could I just beat you away? Cao Cao wrote the memorial and asked if he could go over and teach the children a lesson. Liu Tao said, yes, bullying them to death.
So this year he fought...and then... Liu Tao looked at the contents of the memorial and seemed to have accidentally destroyed the country and captured more than 300,000 Wusun people. Some went west and some went east.
Going west will probably enter the Kushan Empire, but going east will pray that they will not be discovered by Sun Jian.
"Is the funding for this year insufficient again?" Liu Tao sighed. He waited for three years for three years, with the goal of having enough funds to build Hongdu Gate School.
As a result, it was found that the navy was not only burning money abnormally, but the expenses were not missing. In the last three years, the Bingzhou Hongdumen School was only slightly expanded.
"…………I can only ask Mr. Xun for this." Of course Qian Fu could not know. Now he only hopes that Jian Yong will come here early and that he can serve him next to him.
"The finances increase year by year, but the finances are insufficient every year..." Liu Tao sighed. Why is he almost the same as those emperors of all dynasties, and he is worried about having no money.
The problem is that others really can’t collect taxes, but the situation is too broad, which leads to spending money everywhere. You can’t blame the ministers for your own death, everyone is working hard.
"Are Wusun too impatient to fight?" Liu Tao sighed. In just a few months, the tribe of hundreds of thousands of people was defeated.
"Wusun has not had contact with the great man for a long time, so I am afraid I don't understand the great man's combat power." Qian Fu thought for a while and replied.
Yes, those who do not know are fearless. Thousands of people came and were beaten away, and tens of thousands of people gathered to find a place, but they were destroyed. In this way, they didn't know how to run away, but were found by the Wuhuan cavalry and Xianbei cavalry in the General Department of Zhenxi and crushed them all the way.
After coming back to his senses, the Shanyu and the patriarch were all done. I guess I am being detained now and I am still wondering if I have had a nightmare that I have never woken up.
"In this way, our enemy will be the Kushan Empire..." Liu Tao sighed. The Kushan Empire was just average. Even though the territory seemed quite large, it had reached the dusk period and the empire had begun to decline.
At the same time, there are too many Gobi and desert areas, and strictly speaking, the population is not that large. However, India seems to have not been completely unified yet, and several countries are crowded together.
Unfortunately, with the current development progress, the Southern Silk Road is still far away.
Then there is rest, Dashi and Daqin... To the east is Goguryeo, Fuyu and Sanhan. In fact, if you want to pass the Tsushima Strait smoothly, Sanhan must be defeated.
"This battle cannot be finished..." Liu Tao sighed, "But next year, I can be awarded one or two more kings."
I thought about dividing the grassland and the Western Regions, and then arranging one or two kings and ranks to go there. Ignoring how to arrange immigration and how to manage it, the kings and ranks have been enthroned anyway.
The three-hour memorial was revised quickly, and Liu Tao began to return to the harem. If there were any expedited memorials, they would be sent as soon as possible, and they would be treated as overtime.
When they returned to the harem, Liu Cong and Liu Qiong were both studying. Several other little kids were playing, basically the older ones were the younger ones.
Liu Tao set up some playgrounds in the harem, such as slides, swings, seesaws, building blocks and puzzles, and there is no shortage of toys at all.
By the way, these things have also opened a store and sold quite well. I don’t know how many pirated versions have been released.
Time travelers have this little convenience. Sometimes, things that they became accustomed to later can make money in this era. Liu Tao traveled several times a year, and half of the expenses were the royal family’s own savings.
The rules are just like this, so that any emperor behind him can get rid of his brain and travel everywhere, causing the national treasury to be deficient.
What is the Kangxi six times to the south of the Yangtze River? What is the Qianlong six times to the south of the Yangtze River? Leave it to me for the Qing Dynasty to do it myself. This is the Han Dynasty, he is the emperor of this Zhongxing country, and he has the final say here!
"As a matter of fact, I can't have children anymore... too many." After playing with the children for an afternoon, Liu Tao became an old dog. Many times he felt that his main business was a nanny.
"But now, there is no prince or princess who masters immortal arts." Cai Yan was a little worried that immortal arts might be lost in Liu Tao's generation.
"The immortals gave me immortal arts, but did not teach me the methods of practicing. The purpose was to tell me that I can only be the emperor of the human world in this life. The immortal arts are just to save the great man as soon as possible, not to make us blindly arrogant.
The real foundation of the Han Dynasty is a powerful army and a spirit of continuous exploration, rather than blindly relying on immortal arts." Liu Tao replied that now, if necessary, the departments will basically no longer use scrolls.
During the military parade last year, I have to say that my spirit was much more decent. I was a sergeant with iron blood, not a arrogant soldier.
I don’t know if it’s really not the fate, Zuo Ci has not found it yet. There are rumors that someone saw a Taoist on the beach, driving the boat to the host, saying that he was looking for three fairy mountains, which was the year before yesterday.
Maybe Zuo Ci has already gone to search for the fairy mountain and toured. The sea is so erratic and I don’t know if I can still live. It may be just a cover, and the purpose is to stop looking for him.
So the immortal Zuo Ci became a real immortal and never appeared in front of others. Perhaps such an immortal is a qualified immortal.
"It's just that there is no magic to put pressure on me. What should I do if the great man is in chaos in the future?" Cai Yan was still a little worried.
The Han Dynasty lasted for about two hundred years. If Liu Tao had not appeared, it might have fallen apart and lost power. Even if the two princes survived, they might have become puppets of the princes and were forced to abdicate.
"In this world, no country can last forever, and no god can exist forever." Liu Tao was silent for a moment and said slowly, "I just hope that the concepts of the Chinese nation and the Han people can be passed on forever. And I believe that no matter after a thousand years and ten thousand years, even if the Han people have disappeared, the Chinese nation still exists and the Han people still exists!"
"Everything will be as your Majesty said..." Cai Yan leaned on Liu Tao's shoulder and said warmly.
Chapter completed!
