Chapter 7 Envoy of Yamatai

Liu Xuan did not draw this circle casually. Xiao-Shuo-Net please remember

This circle includes the three future provinces of Northeast China and eastern Mongolia, the Korean Peninsula and part of the future Russia. This area should be the most fertile area from Liaodong to the north at present.

Further north, due to weather conditions, it is not suitable for the current big people to develop - after all, the land cannot be just thrown away, and the people need to be relocated to live there.

Although Liu Xuan tinkered with the fire kang and ensured the production of grain, the people were unwilling to go to a place that was too harsh. More importantly, the Han Dynasty did not have so many people for him to immigrate casually.

Nearly thirty years of chaos severely damaged the vitality of the Han Dynasty. This was not only the loss of armaments, food and culture, but most importantly, the loss of population.

The loss of population cannot be made up overnight. Even if Liu Xuan issued an edict to encourage childbirth, and even to a certain extent the court would help ordinary people raise children, the number of children could only increase one by one. After all, this was a creation.

Humans, not raising pigs, cannot produce a litter at once.

Calculating the current population of the Han Dynasty, even the existing territory is enough to meet the needs of ordinary people for land.

What's more, with the series of reform measures implemented by Liu Xuan, the Han Dynasty's ability to utilize land far exceeded that of any other dynasty in any period.

One acre of land can produce more food than several acres or even more than ten acres in the past. Even if the population doubles, there is no need to worry about insufficient food.

In addition, Liu Xuan is encouraging the development of industry and commerce, and many people have turned to industrial manufacturing and business, and there is no longer an urgent need for land as before. Of course, according to traditional Chinese thinking, the people's desire for land will not suddenly change.

It disappears. Even people engaged in industry and commerce will buy a piece of land that belongs entirely to themselves after they have rich money.

But after all, it is not as good as before where everyone needs land to survive, so the current situation is - insufficient population!

"Originally, large areas in Jiangdong were not developed in time. Quite a number of refugees from the north have already moved to the south. At present, there is simply no spare population for another large-scale migration!"

After determining the military target, the next thing on the agenda was the occupation and development of this huge piece of land. The problem before Liu Xuan was population.

"The best way at present is to build some important towns first and block a few key nodes, so as to radiate the entire area to control this vast area. However, if you do this, it will definitely be difficult to take care of everything, and it may be

Some thoughtful people take advantage of or even infiltrate it."

Although Xun You, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, Xun You did not only know civil affairs, but also military strategy and government affairs, and he was also able to do some tricks and tricks.

Looking at the vast land on the map, if he was hostile to the Han Dynasty, there would be too many places to make fuss about such a wide and sparse defense.

Of course Liu Xuan could see this problem, but the population problem could not be solved instantly if he had magical powers. Even if he tinkered with some aphrodisiac drugs, he would not be able to see the results instantly.

Population growth is slow, and this cannot be changed. If you want to increase the population explosively, in addition to issuing various incentive measures, you can only hope that the population base reaches a certain level, and then explosive growth is possible.

"Today, the Han Dynasty has a population that cannot even completely occupy the entire Asia. If we want to occupy the world, how many people will we need?"

It is thought that the global population in future generations will be approximately 6 billion, but in fact the environment of the earth one thousand eight years from now cannot be compared with that of this period. Many areas that were still beautiful and suitable for living in this era will no longer be able to survive due to various reasons for a long time.

It's inhabited.

Taking these places into consideration, it would take at least tens of billions of people to 'fill' the earth, and if it is linked to its own interstellar strategic plan... then the demand for population is far more than this.

"Colonization, assimilation!"

Almost the simplest and feasible method.

"When fighting against Goguryeo, Wuhuan, and Xianbei, try to recruit as many ordinary people as possible!"

Liu Xuan's requirements are very clear.

"Anyone who dares to go against the Han will be killed, but if they are willing to submit, we will not make it difficult for them, but will treat them as ordinary Han people!"

"Is this... inappropriate?"

In fact, it is not that the Han Dynasty has never done similar actions. Today, there are a large number of foreign ethnic groups living in Liangzhou and several counties in the west of Yongzhou. Among them, the Qiang and Di people are the largest. There are also a small number of Huns settling in Bingzhou in the north.

However, these people lived and settled, but they never regarded themselves as Han people. They did not obey the king's laws, let alone say anything. When foreign invaders invaded, these people often served as guides and vanguards, doing everything they could to burn, kill, and loot. It was really frustrating.

Many people hate it with itch.

Liu Xuan snorted: "Let them be the people of the Han Dynasty, and they will naturally be the people of the Han Dynasty. They can be dealt with as they should if they violate the king's laws. There will be no special treatment!"

He always felt that the previous way of treating and managing alien races separately was inherently problematic.

Let’s not talk about what the foreigners themselves think. The actions of the Han officials directly excluded the foreigners from the Han people. They themselves could not gain a sense of identity and naturally would not live according to the laws of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, the best way to prevent this group of people from gathering together in groups is to directly disperse them and arrange them into ordinary Han villages. Only by letting them get used to the Han lifestyle will they give up some of their original habits.

Otherwise, they will continue to live according to their previous lifestyle, and they will not feel any difference, and naturally they will not have any sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty.

Let them feel the difference, get benefits, and then let them understand what the consequences will be if they go against the big man. With both kindness and power, Liu Xuan does not believe that these guys can really continue to fight against the big man.

What's more, the culture of the Han people has a very strong ability to assimilate. This has been proven for more than two thousand years. Liu Xuan does not need to doubt it - even the Jews, who are said to be the least likely to be assimilated in the world, have been completely Hanized.

Liu Xuan was confident in his ability to assimilate Han culture.

After listening to the emperor's many methods, everyone felt that they were indeed quite feasible. More importantly, no matter Wuhuan, Xianbei or Goguryeo, they had been dealing with the Han for a long time and even surrendered to the Han to a certain extent.

The Han culture has more or less admiration and learning, so it is not impossible to assimilate it.

As for the people of the Three Koreas on the peninsula southeast of Liaodong... Xun You was still a little worried about these alienated people. He was afraid that these guys would not accept the enlightenment. How would he deal with them then?

Liu Xuan simply said: "Treat everyone equally. If you really want to resist to the end, just kill them all. What's the headache?"

Everyone laughed bitterly, the emperor said this easily, but they didn't know that if this kind of situation really happened, it would not be solved by killing a few people.

Maybe the heads of thousands of people will fall to the ground with a word from the emperor. Of course, it is also possible to directly kill all the people of the three Koreas, but the aliens... so what if they die?

While they were discussing, suddenly Deng Zhi, the minister of Huangmen, came to report: "There is an overseas country named Yamatai who has come to proclaim himself a minister!"

"Yamatai?"

Liu Xuan was stunned and couldn't remember where the evil horse platform was. However, there were knowledgeable people among the ministers who knew it. Seeing the emperor's confused face, he immediately said: "The evil horse platform is on the Yingzhou Island marked on your majesty's map."

superior!"

But this person only knows so much. For these figures in the Han Dynasty, the Japanese island is also a barbaric overseas land, and its status is no different from that of the three Koreas.

Knowing the name and location of Yamatai is already considered knowledgeable. As for more? They have no interest in knowing.

Liu Xuan actually wanted to know much more than these people, but he was just thinking about Sanhan, and now a Yamatai popped up, making him unable to react for a while.

At this time, I remembered that I finally found some things about the Yamatai Kingdom from the depths of my memory, but I also remembered that the leader of the Yamatai Kingdom was called Himiko. He was a figure from the Japanese mythological era, and she was a woman.

At the same time, this woman once professed herself to the Wei State during the Three Kingdoms period in history. He didn't know more about it. After all, he didn't specialize in studying history.

Looking at the crowd, Liu Xuan saw that several important officials in the court happened to be there, and the arrival was not as good as chance, so he just asked these two people to meet him, and he happened to ask them what the purpose of coming to the Han Dynasty was.

Not long after, Deng Zhi, the Huangmen servant, walked in with two men of short height, barefoot and with only coarse cloth wrapped around their waists to cover their vitals.

At this time, Liu Xuan and all the ministers had moved to the Lingxiao Palace to receive the two envoys from Yamatai Kingdom. There was nothing to do while waiting, Liu Xuan would accompany the two envoys.

I carefully read the detailed information about Yamatai that was incorporated into Beijing.

This information was sent by Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan sent troops to escort these two envoys from the Yamatai Kingdom into Luoyang - otherwise, with these two people like this, not to mention Luoyang, even Youzhou would have entered.

Since there was a lot of content, and it was the time for troops to be deployed, no communicator was used to report. What's more, Gongsun Zan didn't think the so-called Yamatai Kingdom was a big deal, so he initially arranged it to the Dahonglu Temple.

Go there for the reception.

It was just that Zhou Huan, the great minister of Honglu, was discussing matters with the emperor in the court at this time, and these two envoys came to proclaim themselves ministers on behalf of overseas countries, so the officials of Honglu Temple felt that this matter had to be reported to the emperor, so they directly reported it to the emperor.

The two of them were sent to the palace together.

By such a strange combination of circumstances, Liu Xuan didn't receive any news before the two envoys from overseas countries arrived. It wasn't until the two of them arrived outside the palace that he found out about it.

But Liu Xuan didn't mind this. After all, he had done nothing wrong in the civil and military affairs. Gongsun Zan felt that the communicator should be used in more important military matters, so it was normal not to report it directly. He was still fighting with Wuhuan and Goguryeo.

There is nothing wrong with doing this when there is a war.

What's more, Gongsun Zan also investigated the matter about Yamatai in detail, otherwise there would not be such a detailed report for the emperor to read.

As for sending it to Dahonglu Temple, it is also in line with the system and regulations. Dahonglu Temple is originally responsible for these matters and plays the role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to a certain extent. Although Liu Xuan intended to hand over some foreign affairs to the Ministry of Rites, after all,

It has not yet been implemented, so Dahonglu Temple is currently the real official diplomatic department of the Han Dynasty.

In terms of the arrangement of these two envoys, Dahonglu Temple did not make any mistakes. Especially after realizing the importance, they directly reported it to the emperor, which shows the efficiency of the current imperial court.

After reading the report sent by Gongsun Zan, Liu Xuan finally had a slightly detailed understanding of the Yamatai Kingdom.

It turns out that Japan Island was also in chaos at this time. There were dozens of countries, large and small, on the small island. Yamatai was just one of them, and it was also the leader of an alliance.

The current situation of this alliance dominated by the Yamatai Kingdom is actually not very good, and life in Japan is not very easy at present. Therefore, the leader of the Yamatai Kingdom thought of the neighboring Han Dynasty and wanted to use the strength of the Han Dynasty to help

He pacified the entire territory of Japan by himself.

To put it bluntly, these people had no good intentions at all when they came to profess their loyalty. But with the little information in his mind, Liu Xuan finally figured out something.

"It is said that there are countries on Dongying Island that have made contact with the historical Soochow and have similar thoughts to Yamatai. Unfortunately, neither Wei nor Wu are interested in wasting energy on Dongying and letting them

These guys’ plans have failed!”

As for this time, it is estimated that the queen of Yamatai, Himihu, is just thinking about it, and wants to help her conquer the world by herself?

"But...it's not like I can't agree to it!"

There is a saying that is good, it is easier to invite gods than to send them away. If your own forbidden army kills them, you will not be prepared to withdraw them! But considering that the Japanese island is isolated overseas, you need a strong enough force to attack or even occupy it.

The navy of the Han Dynasty is still undergoing basic training on the ground, and the ships are still lying in the shipyard without being launched.

"What a hassle!"

Maybe we should send a troop of troops there first to help Himihu destroy other countries, and then go back and deal with this woman?

Several thoughts were running through his head, but his expression was not abnormal at all.
