When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 226: The Han Dynasty's visitors made Emperor Wu of Han very happy, finally no longer lo

"What kind of difficult situation has Brother Liu encountered? If we need to fight on the battlefield, it would be best to summon Zhu Di. After all, he is an expert in this field. As for me, I can only help to pass on the orders to the soldiers." Although he had experienced many wars, Zhu Ming still felt that he did not have the talent to command.

"We have taught all the surrounding countries a lesson, and now they all submit to the majesty of the Han Dynasty, so there is no need to start a war for the time being." Brother Liu said proudly.

"So what's the matter?" Zhu Ming asked curiously.

"You must be aware that the Huns have long been the main concern of the Han Dynasty. However, thanks to your help, the Huns have been disciplined and have become well behaved. Now they are almost becoming the exclusive ranch of the Han Dynasty, providing a steady supply of meat, dairy products, wool and other supplies."

Hearing this, Zhu Ming couldn't help but nod slightly to show his agreement.

The current level of science and technology is still a bit insufficient. Even if we successfully capture the vast grassland areas, it will probably be difficult to achieve effective rule and management in the short term. Otherwise, the Huns might have ceased to exist long ago.

Today, various trade activities are actively carried out between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu.

This made the Huns completely become a subordinate force of the Han Dynasty.

They used to be dedicated to raising war horses and would go south to rob from time to time, but now they have turned to raising cattle and sheep and trading with the Han Dynasty.

The leaders of those huge tribes in the past are like the wealthy tycoons in today's oil countries, each of them is extremely wealthy.

Emperor Wu of Han continued, "According to the census, the population of the Han Dynasty has increased dramatically, exceeding that when I first took over. Primary education has also been popularized. In order to make the Han Dynasty thrive in the future, our Ministry of Rites has proposed to provide primary school students with cow's milk and goat's milk, one can per person per week. Now we have encountered a problem. The milk produced here cannot be preserved for a long time."

Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment: "Is this true? Can you supply it?"

Emperor Wu of Han nodded and said, "It's not a big problem. The dairy goats we got from you, plus the varieties developed by our research institute, are not only in the Xiongnu, but every town has one or two. If there is no special method to preserve them, they will expire in a few days, which is a big challenge for transportation. I think the milk in your place can be preserved for months or years. If the Han Dynasty can do it, it will ease the pressure of transportation."

"Okay, I'll go back and look up some information. There should be a way, but I don't know if the equipment is easy to use."

Emperor Wu of Han was delighted: "Don't worry, as long as there is a way, you don't have to worry about the money."

Zhu Ming was happy: "It seems that Brother Liu has made a fortune recently."

"No, but Brother Zheng dug up his own tomb and exchanged it for some good things. I thought, could I learn from him?" Emperor Wu of Han said with a slight smile.

Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment: "Why, you also want to go to my place and dig up your tomb?"

"Yes, if it is left there, it will be put into an exhibition hall sooner or later. It is better for me to dig it myself and use it to build the Han Dynasty." Emperor Wu of Han said softly.

Zhu Ming took a breath and said, "I want to ask, besides you, who else has this idea?"

"At the last gathering, most people had the same idea. Even Old Yang wanted to dig up his own grave again, so that he could have some valuable burial objects!"

"I have the same idea. It's okay if it happens once or twice, but it's hard for me to handle if it happens too often. Digging things up in the tomb is not a problem, but how to cash them out is more troublesome."

Emperor Wu of Han nodded and said, "I know that too. I won't talk about the Sui, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties. They were relatively wealthy. Our Han dynasty is different. In the early days of fighting the Xiongnu, your brother Liu really emptied our family's wealth. I believe you have read the historical records. Please help your brother Liu. It doesn't need to be too much. One hundred antiques should be able to alleviate the urgent need. Moreover, the antiques of the Han dynasty should be more valuable than those of later dynasties."

"It's no problem for me to help, but Brother Liu, you have to be mentally prepared. Many people have visited your tomb. A few years after you were buried, your burial objects were circulated on the market. History records several waves of people visiting your tomb. Your tomb may be cleaner than you think." Zhu Ming gave a shot of prevention in advance.

When mentioning this incident, Emperor Wu of Han became very angry.

He wanted to kill people, but the person who visited his imperial tomb as recorded in history had not yet been born.

There is no way to kill people.

"It's okay. There will always be some left. If we pick a hundred items, there shouldn't be any problem."

"Well, your imperial mausoleum should have been under construction before, so you need to prepare the design drawings and other things, especially the mechanisms. You must find all the information, otherwise, what you dig out will not be enough to pay the compensation."

"Don't worry. I have been sorting out the information since the last gathering. It's all here. I have also found the director in charge of the construction of the mausoleum for you."

Emperor Wu of Han moved a box from the imperial study, which was full of various drawings and materials.

Zhu Ming took a look and found it very complete.

"Well, let's call a few masters and go together."

Dragon Dynasty
Wang Canghai and Zhang Qilin met again.

He brought hundreds of elites to the vicinity of Emperor Wu of Han's tomb.

Start digging.

Soon, Emperor Wu of Han saw several dark passages.

"what is this?"

Wang Canghai said softly: "Han Emperor, if I am not mistaken, these should be several robbery holes."

Zhu Ming looked at the several tomb-robbing holes and said, "I have to say, these tomb robbers are really good. I don't have so many underground pipes there, and they haven't collapsed yet."

In just one day, more than a dozen robbery holes were encountered.

Emperor Wu of Han was so angry that his face turned purple.

"All grave robbers should die!"

Wang Canghai and Zhang Qilin were stunned for a moment. They were not bragging. In the thousands of years of Yanhuang history, the tombs they dug, even if they did not have the most, were definitely among the top few.

The impact was a bit wide, and Emperor Wu of Han hurriedly said: "Of course, you are different. You are all appointed by the court. If you count it, just like the archaeological work later, it is all the court's behavior and has contributed to the country."

"To be honest, what we are doing now is somewhat related to tomb robbing." Zhu Ming said softly.

"This is different. We are digging my own tomb, and I agreed to it. It can't be considered tomb robbery. We are just returning to our own lair to take some things." Emperor Wu of Han was calm.

We have a professional team and modern machinery.

Wang Canghai and Zhang Qilin quickly entered the tomb and brought out some antiques.

"Han Emperor, many things down there were either stolen or broken. The things we brought out should be considered relatively valuable."

Compared with the treasures unearthed from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, the value of these antiques is indeed slightly inferior, but the history they carry is equally long and profound, so they still have value and significance that cannot be underestimated.

During the distant Dalong Dynasty, a group of wealthy merchants from foreign countries were surprised to find that Li Jinglong and Wei Zheng, who once had a special liking for Qin antiques, were now deeply infatuated with Han antiques.

Fortunately, the Dalong Dynasty had just unearthed a batch of Han Dynasty antiques and was putting them up for public auction.

In desperation, these foreign merchants and envoys had no choice but to participate in the auction.

After what happened with the Daqin Antiques, we all know that this thing is useful when it comes to cooperation.

Even if you don’t use it now, you may need it someday in the future.

Today, the Great Dragon Dynasty has successively defeated powerful countries such as John Bull, Deyi, and Gallic Rooster, and occupied vast territories.

Rich in resources, with a large population, there is a vast market and it is developing actively.

It is a new powerful country with huge potential.

No matter which country it is, they all want to cooperate with Dalong.

There will be people fighting for any one of them.

Soon, all the hundreds of antiques were auctioned off.

During this period, not to mention that Li Jinglong was an expert, even a figure like Wei Zheng, after being immersed in numerous antiques for a long time, had developed an extremely sharp eye.

Especially for ancient artifacts from the Qin and Han dynasties, he could tell their authenticity and quality with just a quick glance.

Still using the previous strategies, Zhu Ming quickly replaced these antiques with advanced equipment.

This move made Emperor Wu of Han smile and be overjoyed, and he immediately decided to vigorously promote the policy of "drinking milk to strengthen the body".

"Ding, there's a big man coming, please go and greet him!"

After delivering the items, Zhu Ming was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, a crisp reminder sound suddenly rang in his mind. This sudden sound was like a flash of lightning that cut through the sky, causing Zhu Ming's originally raised footsteps to stop abruptly.

"What exactly happened?" Emperor Wu of Han asked with a suspicious look on his face.

You know, at this time the channel connecting the two worlds has disappeared without a trace. According to common sense, Zhu Ming should have already embarked on his journey home.

But now he is still standing here, which is really puzzling.

Facing the question from Emperor Wu of Han, Zhu Ming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "I just received a message saying that our Han Dynasty has a distinguished guest coming. Brother Liu, are you interested in going with us to meet this rare guest?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu of Han was stunned for a moment, and then an expression of joy that was difficult to conceal emerged on his face: "The emperor of the Han Dynasty actually came to visit? I wonder which emperor is coming this time?"

For a long time, whenever the emperors gathered, Emperor Wu of Han was often the only one from the Han side who attended the meeting alone, and the feeling of being alone was always lingering.

Although there were many emperors in the Han Dynasty, those who appeared here were always emperors from other dynasties.

Especially in the Ming Dynasty, emperors appeared one after another.

The emperor’s party is almost as long as the Zhu family’s dinner.

Several Ming emperors worked together to get the emperors of other dynasties drunk until they fell prone on the table.

Emperor Wu of Han worked hard to improve his drinking capacity, but he still fell on the table with his face in the plate every time.

If that were all, it wouldn't matter.

The key point is that Lao Zhu takes pictures with his mobile phone every time and helps to recall from time to time, which is a mess.

Zhu Ming could understand the Emperor Wu's eagerness to know the identity of the visitor. However, he shook his head slightly, saying that he still did not know the exact identity of the other party. "As for which emperor it is, I'm afraid we will have to wait until we actually meet to find out the answer."

"That's true. I don't know yet. Wait a minute. I'll find something."

A few minutes later, a palace maid brought over an exquisite leather whip.

Shake it a few times.

Emperor Wu of Han said with satisfaction: "Yes, the whips offered by the Xiongnu are indeed easy to use."

"Brother Liu, what are you doing with the whip?" Zhu Ming was a little confused.

"Except for the Qin and Sui dynasties, both of which perished in the second generation. In other dynasties, each emperor had many incompetent rulers. Who knows what this emperor will be like? If he is an emperor like Hu Hai or Zhu Qizhen, I will beat him to death today!" Emperor Wu of Han snorted coldly.

"That's true. Even in the Qin and Sui dynasties, there were only two emperors, and there would be a troublesome one. That's why Old Yang appeared earlier. If he had met Yang Jian first, Old Yang would have definitely been beaten." Zhu Ming agreed very much.

"Old Yang is lucky, but Prince of Jin Yang Guang is unlucky. He is dealt with by Yang Jian every day. If there were no other dynasties watching, I think Old Yang would want to stage a Xuanwu Gate Incident." Emperor Wu of Han said with a smile.

Inside the farm.

Inside a warehouse.

Two figures observed their surroundings nervously.

"It was clearly daytime just now, how come it suddenly became so dark? Master Chao, do you know what happened?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on. Perhaps something big is going to happen in the Han Dynasty."

But in his heart he was wondering if the Han Dynasty was going to change, but it was not appropriate to say this in front of the emperor.

"Could it be that my policy of reducing the power of the princes goes against the will of heaven? Just when I was planning to reduce the power of the princes, King of Wu Liu Bi joined forces with King of Chu Liu Wu, King of Zhao Liu Sui, King of Jinan Liu Pi Guang, King of Zibo Liu Xian, King of Jiaoxi Liu Ang, King of Jiaodong Liu Xiongqu and other princes of the Liu clan to launch a rebellion. Could it be that the current signs are foreshadowing a change in the Han Dynasty?" murmured the emperor on the side.

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince may seem powerful, but in reality, he is weak and is no match for Your Majesty at all."

This is not flattery by Chao Cuo, but a conclusion drawn from actual conditions.

Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the previous generations of emperors have either openly or secretly suppressed local princes and strengthened central power.

Today, the power of the princes has greatly decreased and they are no match for the emperor.

Of course, the emperor also needs to be normal.

If something weird happens, he might really be driven out of office by the Seven Kings.

Although the power of the vassal kings has been greatly reduced and is not as strong as before, they still cannot be underestimated.

In particular, King Liu Bi of Wu, using his right to mint coins, minted copper on a large scale and was even able to compete with the imperial court economically.

The current Rebellion of the Seven Kings is also driven by it.

Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi, sighed in his heart. He had felt the same way before.

I just asked Yuan Ang for advice before.

Yuan Ang believed that the rebellion of the seven states of Wu and Chu was not a threat, and offered a suggestion: "The purpose of the Wu and Chu rebellion is to kill Chao Cuo and restore their original fiefdoms. As long as Chao Cuo is beheaded and an envoy is sent to announce the amnesty of the seven states and restore their deprived fiefdoms, the rebellion can be eliminated without bloodshed."

Liu Qi thought it made sense. After all, once the war broke out, regardless of the outcome, the Han Dynasty would surely be plunged into chaos.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to sacrifice Chao Cuo in exchange for the withdrawal of the princes.

This invitation to Chao Cuo to the restaurant for a drink was also a farewell to Chao Cuo.

But before I even got there, I encountered this kind of thing. (End of this chapter)
