...

The eighth day of the second month, night...

The streets of Chang'an are brightly lit everywhere, and the whole city is immersed in the carnival of the new king ascending the throne and the Han Dynasty was first established...

The streets of Xishi are bustling with people passing by, the hawking of vendors and the cheers of pedestrians are decorated with dazzling fireworks in the air, forming a prosperous and peaceful scene.

However, in the dark corners of the bustling city, some people living in poverty hurried at home and did not go out. To them, such festivals seemed to have nothing to do with them.

"Bang bang bang..."

In front of a private house, soldiers patrolling the night guards pushed a cart of daily necessities and kept knocking on the door of the house.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

"Who?"

"According to your order, I will give you some oil and rice to you, and open the door quickly!"

As the officer shouted and slapped, the closed door slowly opened. A middle-aged man with no legs stuck his head out timidly and looked at the officer in panic.

The officer shouted deeply, waved his hand, and immediately a soldier carried a bag of rice, flour and other oil and salt in front of his house.

"This is your Majesty's wish, so you can accept it. I won't say much. As long as you remember your Majesty's goodness, I will rush to the next house and I won't stay for a long time."

After the officer finished speaking, he directed the soldiers to push the cart to the next family.

When the lame middle-aged man looked at the pile of food in front of the door, and even half a piece of cloth, tears couldn't help but flow down his eyes.

"Your Majesty is kind and righteous, my god, come out quickly and thank Your Majesty..."

At the call of the lame middle-aged man, his wife came to the door with an eight or nine-year-old child.

"Caomin, thank you for the reward of the emperor!"

The middle-aged man ignored his leg injuries and led his family to bow to the imperial city. This was their heartfelt bowing.

When he looked up again, the lame man's eyes were filled with long-lost hope. He tried hard to get up and said to his wife:

"Damn, tomorrow, I will go to the city to find a job. I can't be so decadent. The emperor treats us poor people like this. As his people, we cannot let down his trust, and we cannot become a burden!

Before the emperor ascended the throne, he announced that anyone with a skill could find work everywhere in the city. I believe that with my stonemason skills, I will definitely support your mother!"

Seeing that her husband finally cheered up, his wife cried with joy and moved rice, flour, oil and salt into the house with her husband.

When the Qiang people entered Beijing to rob, he was beaten to protect the elderly and young people in his family. After his legs were destroyed, he was completely depressed. He didn't want to have this enlightenment today, which was really a surprise.

On the day Liu Ce ascended the throne, he donated daily necessities to the poor people in the city, which is enough to show that he has not forgotten this group of people who have long been forgotten by the powerful.

According to statistics afterwards, from the end of the month on the day Liu Ce ascended the throne, he distributed 320,000 stones of grain to the poor people in Chang'an in his private name, successfully gaining his reputation among the people.

In the newly built Shuyun Hall in the imperial city, Liu Ce had a banquet for the ministers and even the families of officials and the families of all officials were able to participate. It was successively counted that there were nearly a thousand people in the Shuyun Hall.

Since Liu Ce himself had no restrictions on many rules, the whole banquet became lively and crowded, and everyone could speak freely here.

In a corner of Yunshu Palace, Wei Kang, who put down his power, finally showed the nature that children of this age should have. He is playing with Liu Ce's daughter Liu Yu in a brand new pair of telescopes.

Queen Liang watched her child push and play with Liu Yu, and her long-lost smile appeared on her face.

She knew that although her child had lost power, she could get more, and at least she would no longer have to shoulder the heavy responsibilities that he should have shouldered at this age.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Gentile Envoys meet..."

At this time, a guard ran into the hall to report that Liu Cedu, who was playing with Liu Che and Liu Cong, was curious.

"Gentile envoys? Let them come in..."

After a while, a group of overseas envoys entered the hall with fear. Many Gentile envoys looked at the hall that they could not even imagine in their dreams. At the same time, some Gentile envoys were lustful and mentally distracted and kept spinning the beautiful women among the civil and military officials during the banquet.

Liu Ce glanced at them and found that most of the inside were strange faces that had never been seen in the group. He couldn't help but let the child in his arms retreat to his mother first, and then sat upright.

Of course, there is still an acquaintance among the crowd, that is, the tough guy from Yingzhou who met in the Far East, Shangshan Yilong.

Only Yoshitaka Ushiro was unpretentious among these "poverty and short-skinned" who had never seen the world. Although he was also shocked, his good family cultivation made Yoshitaka Ushiro understand the environment he was in now.

"On behalf of our country, my great emperor, I offer you the most sincere respect..."

"The King of Feiyong Kingdom ordered me to express my highest respect to His Majesty the New Emperor, and I wish His Majesty a hundred years of life and a lifetime of heaven..."

Many envoys paid tribute to Liu Ce in a not-so-fluent Chinese language. After careful consideration, there were more than ten countries.

In fact, it is too much to say that they are states. The so-called states are tribal chiefs.

The reason why they speak Chinese was that they made up for a long time when they came. After all, they all knew that the emperors of the Central Plains had always been very proud of their face. If they said a few compliments, they would reward some gold and silver or even beauties happily returned to their country.

Of course, there were two other envoys who did not say compliments, but instead stood coldly, neither humble nor arrogant.

They were envoys of Annan Kingdom and had been in mingling with the previous dynasty for a hundred years. Their affiliated Myanmar-Lao army also repeatedly robbed the Lingnan border under the instructions of Annan Kingdom.

This time they came to the Han Dynasty to stop the military and make concessions on the border territorial issues, with the purpose of seeking land in Lingnan Province.

Just as the two were about to speak, Yilong, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, passed directly by them, came to the steps where Liu Ce was, leaned over and knelt down and said:

"On behalf of the Shangshan family, Yilong, congratulates the new king on his joy of ascending the throne, and wish His Majesty a long life!"

Seeing this, Liu Ce raised his hand with a smile on his face and said, "General Shangshan, you are my old friend, so there is no need for so much courtesy. I am very happy to be able to attend my banquet. Come and join the banquet quickly..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shang Shanyi raised his body and said, "To congratulate Your Majesty on the ascension of the throne, the new dynasty is on the way. Shang Shan's family ordered him to send 50 maids, one hundred thousand taels of silver, ten thousand taels of gold, and several lacquerware. I hope Your Majesty will think that the family's financial resources are limited, so don't dislike it."

Liu Ce laughed happily: "General Shangshan, you are here as soon as you come, why should you be so polite? But since it is your sincerity in Shangshan's family, I naturally accept these things with a smile. Don't stand up quickly. Drink more drinks today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yoshitaka Uchino breathed a sigh of relief. He planned to tie his fate to Liu Ce for the rest of his life. The transactions with Far East over the years have made the Yoshitaka Uchino a force that cannot be ignored in Yingzhou, and Yoshitaka Uchino felt unprecedented pride.

He knew that all this was brought by the emperor who was only twenty-seven years old in front of him.

He was only twenty-seven years old and became the emperor of the Central Plains. With his ability, he would soon unify the entire Chinese. As long as he followed him closely, his family would become the overlord who dominated the country.

At this moment, Yoshinori Shangshan also secretly felt fortunate in his heart, glad that the group of Daming in Yingzhou who only knew how to fight everywhere had short-sighted and did not know that a giant creature had awakened on the continent next to Yingzhou.

When Shan Yilong sat on the table arranged for him with a humble expression on his face, the other envoys suddenly collapsed.

In their impression, wasn’t we just coming to meet the Emperor of Central Plains just to get benefits? You are going to give money in turn? How do we hint next?

Liu Ce smiled and looked at the envoys of the foreign countries, as if he had no intention of letting them take their seats.

Liu Ce had seen these guys in the records of the historians of the previous dynasty, and he was just a group of ungrateful villains and ungrateful wolves.

According to the documentary, in the 136th year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, foreign countries paid tribute to foreign countries, and exchanged some simple bamboo poles, tiles and other objects for a sky-high reward of 4,000 pieces of silk, 30,000 taels of gold, four boxes of jade, and twenty beauties each for a sky-high reward.

Of course, at that time, the Zhou Dynasty was at its peak and its national strength, it was a small matter that was not worth mentioning for them to send such people and things, and all they wanted was the magnificent scene of the coming of the country.

However, the Zhou Dynasty's efforts did not receive corresponding rewards. In the 143rd year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the merchant ship of Zhou was attacked by pirates in the Nepal River. Zhou State sought asylum for the protection of Ramar, a country of diplomatic relations at that time. Unexpectedly, the Navy of Lamar Coveted the sky-high goods on the merchant ship, and even joined forces with the pirates to brutally kill everyone in the merchant ship.

Afterwards, in the 145th year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Kingdom of Lamar was still like a person who had nothing to do, and once again received a huge reward from the emperor.

With these, there are countless South Asian countries like the Lamar country. On the one hand, they say they have good friends with the Great Zhou, but they are doing things like robbers behind their backs.

However, the Zhou court always dealt with such things with the "country of etiquette and the atmosphere of a great country", saying that it would not give ordinary knowledge to small countries.

Therefore, Liu Ce had no affection for this group of indigenous people in his heart. In his plan, these capricious white-eyed wolves had long listed as targets that must be cracked down on in the "Maritime Silk" plan.

The end of this goal is to imitate the marine hegemony of the past life - colonial economy!

In the past life, Great Britain relied on its powerful naval power to take charge of the three calendars of the eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

After Liu Ce briefly studied this history, he had to admit that the benefits and status brought by the colonial economy were beyond imagination. He had to admit that in the Age of Discovery, ancient Eastern culture could no longer compete with it. It was obvious that he could make a mere island country a mere island country.

Among them, there are also political exports to interfere in other countries' internal affairs, which directly leads to the collapse of a country. After Uncle Sam inherits the culture of Sun-Downward Slow Descent, the world can only act according to his expression.

Of course, it will take some time for Liu Ce's grand goal. After all, he took over a dynasty full of holes, and many internal matters have to be dealt with. However, he believes that he is not far from this dream, and there is a bold plan that needs to be practiced.

This plan starts from Annan!
