Title: [This is actually the policy of the King of Chu in governing the country! ]
Content: What is the policy of governing a country?
The King of Chu said:
“First, we should tailor policies to the people’s needs and formulate them according to their actual conditions.”
Since the governance of a country cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach, it is necessary to fully consider the living habits, cultural traditions, quality of life and other factors of the people in various places, and formulate policies that are in line with the actual local conditions. For example, in poor areas, local governments should focus more on poverty alleviation, while in places with good living conditions, government policies may focus more on improving the spiritual life and experience of the people.
“Second, attach importance to agricultural development and ensure food supply.”
The Han Dynasty was founded on agriculture. Agriculture is the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and food is a necessary condition for human survival and development. Therefore, we must attach great importance to agricultural development and ensure the stability of food production. Local governments should increase investment in agricultural infrastructure, such as water wheels, oxen, etc. Improve the level of agricultural science and technology, improve agricultural infrastructure, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of farmers, so as to ensure the adequacy and safety of food supply.
"Third, we must enforce the laws of the Han Dynasty impartially and maintain the order and stability of the Han Dynasty."
The justice of the law is the foundation of the stability of Han society. When the entire Han Dynasty attaches importance to the law, the society will not be turbulent and the people will no longer have to worry about their lives being in danger.
.........
Each bold and black title is eye-catching.
However, the content under each title is even more shocking and agitated.
Truly, this newspaper is too hardcore. It is divided into ten sections in total, but the contents of these ten sections are all fascinating and incredible.
On that day, nearly 8,000 copies of the newspaper were sold. Although the money was not much, the impact it caused was enormous, causing a sensation throughout Xiangyang city.
Many people in Xiangyang were excited about the King of Chu's policy of governing the country.
They had never thought that their monarch would care so much about the people.
The aristocratic families were also very excited, because they also gathered Liu Wu's attitude from the newspapers, that is, the world is big, there is no need to limit our focus to the Han Dynasty, we should direct the Han Dynasty's military power towards people outside of the Han Dynasty, and not act bullyingly within our own borders.
They didn't feel anything wrong about this.
In this way, the news that Liu Wu wanted to exchange thirty acres of grassland in the southern desert for one acre of land spread in newspapers everywhere, causing a sensation among all the noble families under Liu Wu.
A large number of aristocratic families approached the government and expressed their willingness to exchange part of their land for grassland pasture.
Local governments quickly registered the land, and in just half a month, 10 million acres of land were registered. A large number of wealthy families were still scrambling to buy up pastures on the desert south grasslands.
Liu Wu did not break his promise and mobilized the Xianbei slaves and the young and strong Wuhuan slaves to begin repairing official roads within the Han territory and on the grasslands south of the desert, connecting the grasslands with the Han Dynasty.
A large number of aristocratic families went to the grassland with their family power.
Compared to ordinary people who felt that it was bad and unsafe to leave their homes, the big families and wealthy clans were not so timid. Many of them set out together in counties or prefectures. How could they feel unsafe, unless Liu Wu wanted to take action against them.
If Liu Wu wanted to take action against them, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
A large number of aristocratic families sent people to the north to develop the vast grassland.
Liu Wu now has some free time and can spend more time with his children.
He now has more than a dozen children.
The eldest son Liu Mu and the second son Liu Wei had already grown up. Liu Wu taught them a lot, not only the knowledge of leading troops and fighting, but also the principles of being a human being.
He promised Liu Mu and Liu Wei that he would send them to the army in two years.
The third son, Liu Zheng, whose mother was Sun Shangxiang, falsely accused Liu Bang of cheating her.
The fourth son, Liu Chen, whose mother was Lady Mi, falsely accused Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che.
Although Liu Wu was very happy that the two children were growing up and showing extraordinary intelligence, he became more strict in his teaching.
Li Mu, who was framed by Liu Mu, and Li Cunxiao, who was framed by Liu Wei, may become different generals in the future.
Liu Zheng, who had committed fraud against Liu Bang, and Liu Chen, who had committed fraud against Liu Che, would both become king-level figures in the future.
Their every word, action, and even thought will influence millions of people.
Therefore, Liu Wu could not afford to teach without paying attention.
He took Liu Zheng and Liu Chen, put on farm clothes, and went to the remote and backward rural areas around Xiangyang, where he led them to experience the hard work and difficulties of the people at the bottom of society.
The importance of food.
What the people really think.
Just when Liu Wu took Liu Zheng and Liu Chen to experience life for two months, their peaceful life was finally broken.
Gan Ning is back with the fleet that set out for the American continent!!
When Liu Wu heard the news, he went there immediately without any hesitation.
……
Six huge ships are docked on the bank of the Yangtze River.
The area was already filled with navy troops maintaining order and martial law.
Liu Wu, Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, Pang Tong, Cai Mao, Mi Zhu, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Dong Zhao, Huang Zu and others were all waiting on the ship.
A large number of common people and noble families from afar gathered together. They all heard the news and flocked to the area. As Huangjinzhou continued to be reported in newspapers, the legend of Huangjinzhou had caused a great sensation throughout the Han Dynasty.
Now that the first group of people who went out to sea have returned, they all want to see if this Golden Island is real.
"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission and returned from the Golden Continent."
The Xiangyang docked. Gan Ning, who was unkempt and looked like a wild man, walked down quickly and bowed excitedly to Liu Wu from a distance, his voice trembling.
"Xingba, you've worked hard. I'm glad you're okay. Ever since I learned that Xingba went out to sea, I've been worried about him. Today, I see that Xingba is safe and sound, so I'm relieved."
"Anyone who goes out to sea will be granted a title of nobility and rewarded with land, and will become a pioneer in the Han Dynasty's external expansion!" Liu Wu was extremely surprised when he heard that Gan Ning had fulfilled his mission. Gan Ning's meaning was obviously very clear. He had achieved his goal. Liu Wu waved his hand and granted titles of nobility to all those who went out to sea.
Gan Ning and all the soldiers and sailors were excited when they heard this, and they all thanked Liu Wu:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Next, before Gan Ning could continue to greet Liu Wu, Cai Mao, Mi Zhu and Huang Zu on the side could not help it and came over to ask Gan Ning questions.
"Xingba, congratulations on your safe return. It looks like you've suffered a lot. By the way, Xingba, is the Golden Continent really as legendary, with gold everywhere?"
Cai Mao asked Gan Ning first.
Hearing Cai Mao's question, Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, Pang Tong, Mi Zhu, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Dong Zhao, Huang Zu and others around him all fell silent and looked at Gan Ning. Huangjinzhou had always been Liu Wu's one-sided statement. Although they believed that there was such a continent, they still had to be cautious.
Because if it is true, then it is really a matter of great importance.
And Gan Ning's return can prove it.
At this time, Liu Wu looked at Gan Ning with burning eyes.
He naturally knew that the American continent did exist, so he was not worried about it. However, he had never seen the American continent during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Gan Ning listened to Cai Mao's question without hesitation and said with a smile:
"Yes, there is indeed a Golden Continent. Although the Golden Continent is not covered with gold, gold can still be found everywhere. For example, on the third day after we entered the Golden Continent, we saw a river shining with golden light. Gold was everywhere in the river. Then, on the fifth day, we found a small gold mountain. On the eighth day, we found a large gold mine."
"Someone, take all the gold out!"
As Gan Ning spoke, he waved his hand and dozens of people came out carrying more than twenty boxes.
Gan Ning opened all the boxes, and immediately the dazzling golden light appeared inside. He saw that more than 20 boxes were filled with gold nuggets.
"hiss~"
Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, Pang Tong, Cai Mao, Mi Zhu, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Dong Zhao, Huang Zu and others were all shocked when they saw more than 20 boxes of gold.
The people from the noble families who were watching from afar were also shocked when they saw this scene.
"It's a bit exaggerated to say that there is gold everywhere, but that continent is very large, and the Golden Continent must be very big. There are gold mines and gold mountains everywhere. It is even much bigger than our Han Dynasty. We have been traveling around this continent for several months."
Gan Ning's words made everyone agitated.
At this time, Liu Wu was more looking forward to whether Gan Ning would bring back high-yield crops.
Compared with gold, it is obvious that high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes from America are very important to the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes are high-yielding and highly adaptable, and can even grow on barren land. They greatly increase food production and help alleviate the food shortage problem for the people of the Han Dynasty. They are strategic materials.
Increased food production means more people can be fed, thus promoting a population boom.
Next, everyone exchanged greetings again. Liu Wu asked people to load the things brought back from the ship onto the car and pulled Gan Ning aside.
"Xingba, did you bring back the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn?"
Liu Wu asked Gan Ning nervously but expectantly.
Gan Ning listened to Liu Wu's question, and his face showed excitement. He bowed to Liu Wu and said, "Your Majesty, I have lived up to your expectations. I have found the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corns, and brought back a large amount of seeds as you requested."
"Good, good, good, Xingba, I will remember this achievement, and the people of the Han Dynasty will all remember your contributions!"
Liu Wu happily said "good" three times in a row, which was enough to show Liu Wu's happiness.
Next, Gan Ning and his party returned to Xiangyang City, causing a great sensation, especially the sensation caused by more than 20 boxes of gold.
A large number of people from aristocratic families approached the crew members who were sailing to Huangjinzhou to inquire about the specific situation of Huangjinzhou.
When they learned that the land in Golden Island was vast and extremely fertile, and that the local indigenous people were still living in the tribal era, many aristocratic families were excited.
A large number of aristocratic families came to Liu Wu, wanting to open up routes to go to Huangjinzhou to pan for gold.
Liu Wu did not refuse this, but allowed them to go to the shipyard to order ships. Liu Wu knew that he had opened the curtain of the Han Dynasty's voyages.
However, this is also what Liu Wu is happy to see, because the American continent can now be developed at will.
There was a gold rush in Xiangyang City, but Liu Wu was not idle. He planted all the sweet potato, corn and potato seeds that Gan Ning brought back in the fields, and then began to wait.
Two years passed in a blink of an eye, and under Liu Wu's blockade of the news, sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes were planted on a large scale.
Especially when he exchanged land from wealthy and powerful families, he ushered in an unprecedented bumper harvest.
With more food in hand and a stable situation in the world, Liu Wu chose to break it directly.
Zhou Yu was appointed as the commander of the Western Army, mobilizing an army of three to five hundred thousand to launch a fierce attack on Cao Cao.
At the same time, Liu Wu appointed Guan Yu as the commander of the Eastern Army, mobilized 300,000 troops, and combined with 50,000 naval warships to attack Sun Shao and Sun Quan from the east and west.
The war broke out again, and even the eldest son Liu Mu, the second son Liu Wei, and Liu Wu were sent out.
This is the war of unification of the Han Dynasty!
When the war started, although Cao Cao was angry at Liu Wu, he felt powerless facing Zhou Yu's fierce attack. On the one hand, he was old, and on the other hand, the military rations for hundreds of thousands of troops were too much for Cao Cao to handle.
It was an ice age, and disasters were frequent. Even though Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong and Guanzhong, there was still not much food in stock, not to mention the continuous supply of hundreds of thousands of troops.
Sun Shao and Sun Quan were the first to have their capitals breached by Guan Yu.
Sun Shao became a prisoner, and Mrs. Bu was sent to the Prince of Chu's Palace by Guan Yu.
On the other hand, Zhou Yu stepped up his offensive when he saw Guan Yu defeat the two Suns. However, because Guanzhong and Hanzhong were strategically located, Cao Cao still held out for two years even with a siege by hundreds of thousands of troops.
Instead, Liu Wu used sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes to provide a continuous supply of high-yield crops. Hundreds of thousands of troops besieged Cao Cao for two years, but eventually ran out of food and grass. Cao Cao was helpless because he already knew the huge yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes, but he found out too late. When the food ran out, Cao Cao had no choice but to open the city and surrender to Zhou Yu.
The two Sun clans were defeated and Cao Cao surrendered. The news spread and caused a great sensation throughout the world.
Liu Wu sent an imperial edict to Liu Zhang in Xichuan, asking him to return to Xiangyang to report on his work.
Faced with Liu Wu's power, Liu Zhang dared not disobey.
Liu Wu took advantage of the situation and returned to Yizhou.
From then on, all the princes who had been in power for ten to twenty years were destroyed.
The Han Dynasty unified the country.
Liu Wu responded to the request of his civil and military officials to restore the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital, moving the imperial capital to Luoyang.
At this time, there were rumors among the people that the King of Chu's achievements surpassed those of other emperors and his merits surpassed those of the Emperor.
Emperor Liu Xie responded to the will of the people and abdicated the throne to Liu Wu.
Liu Wu did not respond.
Liu Xie gave in again!
Liu Wu still didn't respond!
Liu Xie gave in again.
Finally, Liu Wu abdicated the throne and named his reign "Changsheng".
Liu Wu ascended the throne and became the emperor. He made his sixth son Liu Min the crown prince and proposed to make all his sons kings, but they were not granted titles within the territory of the Han Dynasty, but outside it.
After reaching adulthood, everyone needs to leave the country and fight for their own territory.
If the major noble families wanted to develop under the kings outside the Han Dynasty, get close to Liu Wu's sons, become their vassals, expand their territory, and establish a new dynasty, they would have to give up their foundation within the Han Dynasty and would not be allowed to threaten the status and foundation of the Han emperor.
