Chapter 12 6. Immortality

In Chinese history, the Han and Tang Dynasties were the most proud of the Han people, and the Song Dynasty was the most depressing.However, the courage of the Han and Tang Dynasties was largely created by the long-term implementation of the kinship policy.The Song Dynasty has always refused to marry, vowing to protect the face project to the death, but was attacked by a pack of wolves, the country became smaller and smaller, and was finally swallowed alive! Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is always the common pursuit of human beings and even the animal kingdom.Liu Bang seems helpless, but in fact he has great courage.She Xiaojia benefits everyone, even if the country is in crisis, even if She Xiaojia can't save everyone, but dare to try a possible path of reconciliation, isn't this also worthy of praise for thousands of years?

From this point of view, getting married is not a disgrace, and getting married is not sad.Losing courage and narrow-mindedness are the most shameful and sad things. So Liu Bang made up his mind and went to talk to Aunt Lu Zhi.As soon as Lu Zhi heard this, tears rushed out of the sky like a flood, and she used a woman's trick to cry: The Huns are far away, and Maodun is like a beast. If you push my daughter on him, isn't it the same as throwing my daughter at the tiger's mouth? Aunt Lu's pheasant cried and made such a fuss, and Liu Bang's mind was completely messed up.

Thinking about it, Liu Bang didn't seem to have cared about his daughter seriously for many years.When I was a pavilion manager, I was busy with work, drinking, and picking up girls. The children could only crawl on the ground and play with the mounds, watching their mother working in the field alone.Later, when he was fighting the world, he was busy fighting, running for his life, kicking people, drifting away for a long time, and it seems that he didn't say a few words or communicate with his daughter a few times.Now, the country has something to do, and she is going to be kicked out of the Central Plains as a stranger, isn't it a bit too that?

Yes, I am an irresponsible father, but I must be a responsible emperor.Marrying a daughter may temporarily win over Maodun, or it may lose the daughter and lose the country.The problem is that there is currently no better way to save the country's cost than marriage.Besides, I don't have a second daughter, and Lou Jing said that I must have a biological daughter. Under this situation, do you want me to want a country or a daughter? In this way, Princess Lu Yuan must go to hell? No! Lu Zhi wiped away his tears, and said to Liu Bang: "You were the one who brought down the big man. If you want to go to hell, it won't be the emperor's turn."

Liu Bang asked Lu Pheasant: Excuse me, if Princess Lu Yuan doesn't go to hell, then who will? Lu Pheasant: There are plenty of women in the world, except my daughter, you can find anyone you want! Liu Bang: You are a real person, can you be reasonable? Lu Pheasant: I love my daughter deeply, and I can't leave her for a moment. Is this reasonable? Liu Bang is really out of control.What should I do now, do I have to find a substitute for the dead ghost, so that Lu Zhi can give up? Don't worry about Lu's pheasant, it's hard to get rid of it.After much deliberation, Liu Bang had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: that is, take the risk of finding someone to marry the Xiongnu instead of Princess Lu Yuan!

That's it, even if you are hunting, you have to throw a bait, so you can't send Lu Yuan to the tiger's mouth for nothing. 198 BC, winter. Liu Bang sent people to secretly find a woman among the people, and declared that she was the eldest princess, and planned to marry Modun as his wife.Lou Jing had no choice but to set off with this dead ghost and a lot of gifts. He set off at the beginning of the month and returned to Luoyang at the end of the month.Lou Jing lived up to his mission, not only brought back the news of the armistice, but also brought back the contract between the two countries.

For us, maybe we don't care what kind of contract Lou Jing signed.But for Liu Bang, this thing is simply the lifeblood.The main contents are as follows: First, in the Han Dynasty, the clan princess married Shanyu as the Yan family, and gave a certain amount of cotton wool, silk, wine, and food to the Xiongnu every year. Second, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu became brothers.People of the two ethnic groups are engaged in production in their respective regions and do not interfere with each other. Third, open the "Guan City" and allow trade between the two ethnic groups.The two sides exchanged information and strengthened economic exchanges through customs market transactions.

The above three points were clear at a glance, and the two sharp knives stuck in Liu Bang's heart were removed after the medicine was cured, and he felt a lot easier all of a sudden.However, Lou Jing's expression was solemn, and he made another suggestion to Liu Bang. This suggestion is related to the Xiongnu, and its main actions focus on domestic construction, which is about the construction of the Great Wall of the capital. For a long time, Chang'an was just a small remote village.Although Xiao He built a magnificent Weiyang Palace for Liu Bang, most of Liu Bang either lived in Liyang (Lintong County, Shaanxi Province) or returned to Luoyang.Liyang is the capital after leaving Hanzhong. Once you have lived in any place for a long time and become familiar with it, you will find it difficult to give up the place.Luoyang was the largest city in the world in the early Han Dynasty. Of course, the prosperity index was far less than that of Shanghai in the 1930s, but as a city that had experienced years of war, the ruined walls were better than a battlefield full of corpses.

Lou Jing thinks so: The construction of the capital Chang'an was urgent for two reasons: First, the Xiongnu, Baiyang, Loufan and other tribes were only 700 miles away from Chang'an, and Qingqi could reach Guanzhong in a day and a night.However, Guanzhong was newly broken and there were few people, so it was impossible to stop the invasion of foreign enemies.The only way is to relocate people and develop productive forces. Guanzhong is fertile and wild, and the conditions for relocation are ripe and can be implemented.The second is that the descendants of the nobles of the six eastern countries are still powerful, and if there is trouble, they will still have to deal with it.It is best to move them into Chang'an, so that they are not only useful for the development of Chang'an's economy and culture, but also easier to control.Kill three birds with one stone, consolidate Chang'an, prevent the Huns, promote production, and control the nobles!

Talented, really talented. In ancient China, national issues were economic issues, and economic issues were, in the final analysis, population issues.In an agricultural society, if you want to promote the development of productivity, you must have a sufficient population.There is no population, or the population is insufficient, let alone a well-off life, let alone the dream of a strong country.Therefore, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, every time the princes won a war, the first thing they did was to rob other countries' jewels and population, and population was the most precious treasure.

This is true for governing the country, and even more so for governing the capital. The population problem must first be solved. In November, Liu Bang once again put Lou Jing's suggestion into practice, and moved all the descendants and heroes of the Zhao family, the Qu family, and the descendants of the six countries into Guanzhong, and allocated land to them so that they could live and work in peace and contentment. . In the 1980s, there was a fishing village in southern China, which rose across Hong Kong with a strong development speed, and its name was Shenzhen.Since then, Shenzhen's speed has become its city brand, and we attribute this speed to Deng Xiaoping's great design. Two thousand years ago, Chang'an was also a backward and desolate village. Because Liu Bang moved the people, he created the world's first national capital project.Chang'an, with its ancient capital of at least ten dynasties, has become its city brand. We attribute the rise of Chang'an City in the Western Han Dynasty to the legendary designer Mr. Lou Jing! With this alone, Lou Jing should be immortal!
