Naihe, Sima Xiangru and this opportunity have been waiting for a long time.

He knelt down immediately without any hesitation and said, "Your Majesty loves you, the people of the grass dare not obey your orders."

Hearing these words, Yan Ji, Zou Yang and others immediately showed contempt and disrespectful expression on their faces.

It is certainly a happy event to be valued by the emperor, but this manifestation is too urgent, which will lose the character of a literati.

"Oh, it's a real person who is lucky. Changqing should do his best to serve the court in the future and serve some people!"

A look of disappointment appeared on King Liang Liu Wu's face. Then he ordered someone to get a hundred gold coins as the one who gave Sima Xiangru's leave before leaving.

It is not difficult to see from this that he is indeed a broad-minded literary youth and has a very high tolerance for the literati and poets he likes.

If this were a narrow-minded person, even if he was not angry on the surface, he would not be allowed to wear his shoes in the future.

How could he give him a lot of money?

This scene was watched by Yan Pin, Zou Yang and others were both angry and funny. But this was the monarch they were loyal to.

If Liang Gan did not have this personality, how could they come and join us?

Liu Che shook his head secretly, "If this personality is placed on an ordinary queen, it may be considered a virtue.

But as the leader of a country, it is not a blessing for the country to do so casually.

Maybe in the future, you can consider wielding a more hoe and digging for the corners.

After all, this person still has a lot of talents under the scrutiny of power.

Liu Che thought so and felt secretly happy.

Then, both sides entered the city happily.

Liu Che also set up a group of people from Liang State in Weiyang Palace.

During the meal, the guests and hosts all enjoyed each other.

The next day.

Liu Che appointed Sima Xiangru as the Martial Cavalry Changjia, and also told him to enter the palace to meet him.

He asked Liang Yuguo for Sima Xiangru, but naturally he didn't like the poems and essays he wrote.

It is this move that is related to an important action in his future.

Now the situation of the entire Han Dynasty looks very good. With the great money from the court, all walks of life in the country are happy

The sound of excitement.

Various contradictions in society have been concealed.

But in this short month, Chaojue scattered tens of millions of dollars.

You should know that the entire Taihan = the annual tax was only 300,000 yuan.

If you cannot open up new sources of wealth, you can't last long with the savings of the court alone.

Industry such as papermaking and glass may create thousands or even tens of millions of wealth every year, but for a country,

It seems like a drop in the bucket.

From the perspective of Liu Che's modern people, the best solution at this time is to increase foreign trade

However, the size of countries such as the Han and Gubian countries, North Korea, Naoba Mahan, Mitsukoshi, etc. are too small.

Some of them have just transitioned from slave society, and the country is small and the people are weak, so they cannot afford this task at all.

The geographical location and population of bird slaves can satisfy the Han Dynasty's pursuit, but due to the relationship between the two countries, the trade roots between them.

It is impossible to grow bigger.

After thinking about it, Liu Che had to focus on the Silk Road.

But now the Hexi Corridor through the Western Regions countries is still in the hands of the Huns, and it will be difficult to open up this trade route in the short term.

As for the Maritime Silk Road, it only began to rise in the Tang Dynasty. The current navigation technology and shipbuilding technology are still far from bad, basically

Needless to think about it

In addition, there is a third Silk Road in 847 in history.

This trade road is even more rugged and long, but it is the only way Liu Che can think of to break the deadlock now.

"I pay homage to your Majesty."

Under the leadership of a wealthy official, Sima Xiangru invested in the rosy face and visited the grand ceremony.

"Flat."

Liu Che looked at the other party a little and found that the other party was adapting to his new identity very quickly.

He nodded secretly, so he asked directly without being polite, "I wonder how much do you know about the southwest strata?"

Sima Xiangru said a little bit to protect him as a native of Chengdu, Shu County, and knew a little about the small country south of Chengdu.

Although he could not understand the emperor's intentions, he quickly told everything he knew.

The so-called southwest barbarians refer to the vast areas of today's northwest Chengdu, Sichuan, southwest Yunnan, Guizhou's western province and western Guangxi.

The general term for minorities.

The main ones are Yelang, Dianqiudu, Kunming, Miya, Feidu, Randiau, Baima and other countries.

The southwest barbarians were close to Shu County, and merchants from both sides had long lived with each other.

The most intimate Jinu in the powerful and powerful families of the Han Dynasty came from a small country in the Southwest Yi.

Emperor Wu's dynasty once sent Tang Meng to Yelang to recruit Yelang Hou Duotong, and established Jianwei County in his place.

Then he ordered Sima Xiangru to recruit Qiong, and set up a Duwei in the area, more than ten counties and belonged to Shu County.

Later, because the imperial court planned to focus on dealing with Diannu in the north, it once gave up its huge expenses in the southwest Yi.

It was not until more than ten years later that Zhang Sai returned to Daxia and suggested reopening the southwest road to find a road to the poisonous body.

At this time, Nanyue rebelled, and Emperor Wu wanted to take charge of his own county to attack Nanyue, but the countries in the southwest refused to follow.

So he rebelled and killed the Han Dynasty envoy and the prefect of Jianwei.

After that, it took Emperor Wu ten years to pacify the southwestern Yi and set up Qunke County in his area.

When Yelang Hou was surrendered, Emperor Wu appointed him as Yelang Gan. So all the barbarians in the southwest competed for their subordinates.

When this memory appeared in Liu Che's mind, he felt very regretful.

It was originally possible that people who could easily conquer the southwest, but because of Xiaozhu's short-sightedness, it took more than 20 years.

When sorting out this memory, Liu Che discovered something very interesting.

In history, Yelang's words "Who is the Han and I?" made the world laugh for thousands of years.

"Yarang Zitai" is an allusion that is arrogant and empty.

But is Yelang so straightforward?

Yelang is a country established by ethnic minorities in the southwest during the Su Han Dynasty in my country. Before the Western Han Dynasty, Yelang's name was undocumented.

The first name of Yelang was published during the Warring States Period. King Xiang of Chu sent General Zhuang to leapt down to the water and went out of Qilan to attack Yelang.

e.

Qilan defeated Yelang and surrendered.

At this time, people realized that there was a Yelang country in the southwest.

But if anyone thinks Yelang is a small country, it would be a big mistake.

Ancient Yeh tribe country has a vast territory of thousands of miles.

"Records of the Grand Historian's Biography of the Southwest Yi" states that "Which is the number of kings in the southwest, Yelang is the most domineering."

This shows that Yelang was indeed the largest country in southwest China back then.

Around the Warring States Period, Yelang was already a minority monarchy in the southwest.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Nankui" says, "In the early years of Yongchu, the power of the power was really strong outside and the barbarians were raised. The internal subordinates were opened. The territory was opened, with a thousand eight hundred and forty miles~"

Yelangqizhi at that time included some countries in Southeast Asia today

Although the core of ancient Yelang is in the southwest Guizhou area today, it reaches east to Huguangxi and northern Guizhou and Yunnan to Sichuan and southern Hubei to Southeast Asia.

The countries with a vast territory of thousands of miles were comparable to the territory of the early Western Han Dynasty. They can be said to be the Boyang Tai Kingdom.

Therefore, "Who is the Han Dynasty and me?" is not "Yarang's arrogant".

Yelang Country is not only a large land, but also a rich country.

"Records of the Grand Historian" also mentioned that "Wujiang sauce was produced alone, and most of them were stolen, and the market was Yelang."

Goji sauce was a well-known commodity produced in Shu back then. Shu people ignored the ban and secretly smuggled it to Yelang for sale at a high price.

This shows that Yelang people are very rich and have a high level of elimination.

There are historical books that say that in Yelang, "those who hold their official positions are rich for ten generations.
