The auspiciousness will give them more rewards,

Nowadays, if the Han Dynasty wants to be strong, the tribute must be sufficient. Whether it is county schools, medical clinics, or even Chidao and canals, a large amount of food and materials must be consumed. We cannot set such a precedent. If you want to pay tribute, you must

Come up with something useful."

Shen Tujia was stunned, "Is Your Majesty thinking too much?"

"No, you were not here before and didn't know the words of those ministers. When the Dian Kingdom sent the sacred cow, the ministers asked me to give a big reward. I rewarded it, but this is because the customs and language of the Dian Kingdom are the same as mine.

Sooner or later, it will become a Han Dynasty like South Vietnam.

But these foreign countries are too far apart, and the ministers want me to reward them with auspiciousness. If this is the first time, and small countries pay tribute in the future, the big Han will have to give more things as rewards, then

It’s not people who come to pay tribute, it’s the Han who comes to pay tribute!”

"I'd better set the rules so that future generations will know what to do."

Shen Tujia didn't know what to say for a moment. Every time His Majesty did something very stupid, he would come up with a good explanation that made people unable to answer. Probably this is "wisdom is enough to refuse advice, words are enough to cover up wrongdoing"

"Bar.

Think about how the history books will record this emperor?

The beginning must be: "The emperor has the talent to recognize quick diseases, is very quick to hear and see, has extraordinary physical strength, has the skills to guard against ferocious beasts, knows enough to distance himself from admonishment, speaks enough to cover up his mistakes, respects people and ministers with their ability, and has a high voice in the world, thinking that everyone will do it."

Under oneself..."

This set of rhetoric can be applied to many kings without even changing it, such as Xia Jie and Shang Zhou. Anyway, it cannot be applied to any serious king. Can a serious king fight a ferocious beast with his hands? Can he fight a ferocious beast with his hands?

Who can be called a serious king? Idiot!

But Liu Chang was indeed not talking nonsense. He really wanted to add some new rules to the tribute system.

In his vision, paying tribute can't just be a simple expression of respect for the king. You have to use your wealth to flatter the big man, otherwise you will wait to be beaten and chopped. Since you want to express respect, you have to express it more.

, cannot be perfunctory or fool people, but in return, the big man can provide them with shelter and trade with them.

When they were unable to pay tribute, the Han Dynasty could help set up counties and counties to help govern.

If you want the Han people to be well-fed, others will have to go hungry.

He has already planned this, and after getting in touch with Shendu, he will officially execute it.

"Forget about this, let's talk about your water control situation!"

Chao Cuo then stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have relocated the people on the river banks in the middle and upper reaches, ordered them to stop developing the river banks, and asked local officials to plant trees on a large scale. During these days, more than 100,000 people were on the river banks.

reclamation

, the damage was huge. The trees planted by the Qin State on the riverside were basically cut down. The river water in this area began to become turbid, especially in Longxi and Beidi. It was also because of the increasing number of livestock that the damage was serious.

....”

"I plan to open six canals in these places. On the one hand, it is convenient for transportation, on the other hand, it is convenient for farming, and on the other hand, it is convenient for water control. As long as there are enough tributaries, the impact force of the river water will be reduced..."

"I heard that the power of gunpowder has increased a lot. I wonder if it can be used to control floods?"

"Are you planning to use explosives to open a canal?"

Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, "It's not impossible, but the output of gunpowder is not high, and it cannot be left to ordinary craftsmen to produce in large quantities... It can be used, but it should be used sparingly. It is needed in both mines and battlefields.

Even if you open a channel for this thing, I can't give you too much..."

"Then can I hand over the formula to you?"

"It's not that I can't trust you, I'm just afraid that some craftsman will leak it."

"Your Majesty, I believe that as long as these things are not allowed to fall into the hands of foreigners, there is no need to hide them from the people in the country... Prime Minister Zhang once said that it is useless to place precious things in temples.

It had to be promoted to the whole world, so the spinning wheels piled up in Shang Fang's mansion were all sent to the people by Zhang Xiang. He even allowed the people to make various instruments by themselves, and even the design drawings were sent out... The self-made treadmills made by the people

There are countless plows..."

"I know this, but gunpowder is different from plowing!"

"Not to mention what will happen if it is leaked abroad, even if it is made by the private sector, the risk is extremely high and it will definitely lead to chaos. This cannot be leaked to the local government... But, you said that, I have an idea.

You said, if I set up an official organization to manufacture gunpowder, and list gunpowder as a prohibited private possession like crossbow armor, would it be better if anyone who has private possession is punished as treason?"

"Besides, we have to be careful about leaks to foreign countries... What I'm most worried about are the merchants. But, we can also find ways to avoid and prevent..."

"If it continues to be stored in Shangfang, the output will be too low and it will not be enough... There is no perfect way in the world, we can only choose the best..."

Chao Cuo was convinced and bowed to Liu Chang.

"Your Majesty is wise!

"

In the eyes of Chao Cuo, Liu Chang was a very complicated person. Sometimes he looked more stupid than Jie and Zhou, and sometimes he looked wiser than Yao and Shun.

It would be better to list it as prohibited and then mass-produce it in an official capacity.

Liu Chang discussed with them many issues regarding water control. Liu Chang had no idea in this regard and could only let Chao Cuo make the decision.

After Chao Cuo finished talking about the river, he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I heard that King Yan threatened Sushen to give him his bow!"

"Hahaha, King Yan is fond of martial arts, so what?"

"Your Majesty, don't you think that the Yan Kingdom is too huge? Why not choose clans to divide Fuyu and the three Han territories? The current territory of the Yan Kingdom is really too huge. If this continues, the north of the Han Dynasty will be

A strong enemy is about to appear... We can bring Shanggu, Yuyang and other counties back to the temple, and let King Yan manage the rest of the land."

Whenever Chao Cuo talked about these things, Liu Chang always felt helpless.

"Without these princes and kings, would I be able to expand my territory to the extent it is today??"

"Does the temple have the ability to govern the lands of Sanhan and Fuyu? Does the temple have the ability to govern the lands of the Western Regions? Dian Kingdom? Jiaozhi?"

"This requires the efforts of local princes to develop and manage it!"

"To put it bluntly, I am the youngest among the brothers, so what are you worried about? Are you afraid that I won't survive these brothers?!

"

Liu Chang asked angrily. It could be seen that he was already a little annoyed.

Chao Cuo was stunned for a moment, then said: "The King of Jiaodong is younger than you..."

"I will beat you to death today!
