Xiaoyouzhutian, send Yi Xiaochuan to the palace to start

Of course, because of Yu Shu, Tuan has surrendered.

They still understood the principle that the arm cannot twist the thigh, and they also understood Liu Hao's methods and ruthlessness even more. Now this outcome is the best choice.

From then on, Tuan would always be a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, paying tribute every year, and even its military force could not exceed five thousand.

These 5,000 people are all urban management officers, maintaining the public order in Tuan. The girl is Liu Hao's wife, so don't be too harsh on her. Besides, it's just a small country with a population of only a few hundred thousand people, how can it cause any big waves?

February of the first year of the Han Dynasty.

Han Xin and Xiang Yu divided their troops into two groups. On February 10th of the first year, Xiang Yu defeated the Huns. The Huns, who originally had few troops, were now scattered among their tribes, like a pile of loose sand.

In just a few days, Xiang Yu led his army to capture hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu men, beheaded them all, and escorted them to the Han Dynasty to mine.

The remaining hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu women were also taken to the Han Dynasty. Of course, their existence was only for the reproduction of the human race, because at that time, the population of the Han Dynasty was too small, with a maximum of only 20 to 30 million people.

To this end, Liu Hao also set a small goal for men across the country: to have more children.

Achieve two small goals within two years. In this era, teenagers can get married, whether they are in their 50s or 60s or teens, you can have children...

On February 12th of the first year, Han Xin personally led the army to defeat the Donghu, and their fate was the same as that of the Xiongnu.

All the captured men and women were taken to the Han Dynasty. In just two months, the territory of the Han Dynasty doubled, almost to its modern size, eight or nine million square kilometers.

With millions of slave miners, the Han Dynasty's mining industry developed rapidly in just one month. Various ores became available, and Liu Hao was able to let Liu Xuanzi make more things.

Similarly, in a year, there are millions of newborns across the country.

July 1, the first year of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Hao summoned Han Xin, Meng Tian, ​​Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and other civil and military ministers to the Xianyang Palace to discuss matters.

In the meeting hall.

Civil and military officials stood on the left and right sides, reporting to each other on the recent developments in the country.

"Your Majesty, this year's harvest is great. The national wheat harvest is about 500 million jin." (About 50 billion jin)

Fusu stood in the main hall and bowed slightly to Liu Hao and smiled. Liu Hao did not treat Fusu unfairly and set up a special grain and forage management department.

All the allocation and collection of grain and fodder in the country had to go through Fusu's hands. He was still very confident in Fusu. Although he could not handle big things, he could handle things like this.

"Oh? That's really a great harvest." Liu Hao nodded with satisfaction while sitting on the dragon throne.

You have to know that the current population of the Han Dynasty is only more than 30 million. If each person eats two kilograms of food a day, less than 30 billion kilograms of food will be used a year.

Just taking out tens of millions of grains is enough for a million-strong army to fight for one or two years.

"Do you know why I called you here today?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The country was now prosperous and strong, the territory of the Han Dynasty was twice as large as that of the Qin Dynasty, and all foreign tribes on the border had been eliminated. They really couldn't understand what Liu Hao was thinking.

Seeing that no one answered his question, Liu Hao laughed.

"You know, this world is very big."

Han Xin and Meng Tian, ​​the two generals in the army, seemed to have thought of something after hearing it.

"Your Majesty, doesn't the territory of our Han Dynasty now cover the entire world?" Xiang Yu, a rough man, stood up in confusion.

"My Great Han? You know, the territory of my Great Han is only as big as Changsha County in the whole world."

When Liu Hao said this, everyone was stunned. How could they know how vast the world outside the Han Dynasty was.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that there is a wider world outside the territory of our Han Dynasty?" Zhang Liang stood up and looked at Liu Hao with shock.

"Of course, this is why I called you here today." Liu Hao tapped his forehead lightly.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that you want us to expand our territory?" Meng Tian was the first to understand Liu Hao's meaning.

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant!" As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers were in an uproar, and the generals were even more impatient.

"Xiang Yu invites you to fight!"

"Long Qie invites you to fight!"

These generals have been so bored these past few months that they're thinking about finding a battle to fight.

"It's okay to go on an expedition now. Our Han nation is rich and powerful, with sufficient food and fodder. We have two million elite troops, and we can definitely sweep across the world!"

This guy Xiao He was getting a little impatient. Dealing with state affairs every day was not as fun as fighting a war.

Liu Hao nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. If Genghis Khan could fight all the way to Europe, why can't he, Liu Hao? If possible, he would go directly to ancient Rome and meet those guys with bare breasts.

"But does a large army need large ships to go on an expedition? Our dynasty now..." Zhang Liang was a little confused.

"How can I fight a battle I am not sure of? Tens of thousands of warships have been built, and hundreds of thousands of naval forces have been trained for more than three months. Now we are just waiting for our food steward to allocate food."

After Liu Hao finished speaking, he looked at Fusu and teased him.

"This..." Fusu smiled bitterly.

"Pass on my imperial edict!" Liu Hao stood up and raised his voice a few degrees. All the civil and military officials knelt down to receive the edict.

"I will personally lead an army of one million to expand the territory. Han Xin and Meng Tian will be the generals leading the troops on the left and right, Xiang Yu and Ying Bu will be the vanguards, Zhang Liang and Xiao He will be the military advisors, and follow me to lead the Han army against the barbarians!"

"Your Majesty, this..."

It was okay to go out and fight, but Liu Hao wanted to lead the army in person, and many ministers raised objections at one time.

"I have made up my mind! You don't need to say anything more."

Just like that, in August of the first year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hao, along with Lu Zhi and four others, personally led an army of one million to Mongolia, while Long Qie and Ji Bu led an army of 200,000 to expedition to Goryeo, Japan and other places.

In October of the first year of the Han Dynasty, Goryeo and Japan were formally incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty after the invasion of Long Ju and his companions.

In September of the same year, Liu Hao personally led a million troops to attack Mongolia. Thousands of cannons bombarded the area repeatedly, even the mountains were shattered, not to mention the cities made of accumulated mud. In less than two months, Mongolia was incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

In March of the second year of the Han Dynasty, all things revived. Liu Hao led a million troops to continue the Northern Expedition. He first occupied the Rakshasa Kingdom and established a base camp in the Rakshasa Kingdom to facilitate the transportation of supplies.

In May of the second year, the army, which had rested for more than half a month, continued its eastward expedition and successively defeated the regimes of several countries.

In just five years, they directly reached the ancient Roman Empire across the ocean.

The ancient Romans were all tall and strong, and their numbers were about the same as the Han people three years ago, but their current technological level was very backward. They still held spears and shields high. What kind of shield could withstand the power of artillery and muskets?

In just one year, Liu Hao incorporated the entire ancient Rome into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, the entire world almost became Liu Hao's back garden, and about half of the world was his territory.

After conquering ancient Rome, Liu Hao brought Lu Zhi and three others back to the Han Dynasty. After being away from their homeland for many years, they felt particularly cordial when they returned.

At this time, Gao Yao was already the national chef god, not named by Liu Hao, but by the common people.

His identity among the common people was the God of Cooking, and his official identity was the chief steward of the imperial kitchen. Although his position was not high, he was deeply respected by the three dukes and nine ministers.

Moreover, Gao Yao now has both a son and a daughter. His two daughters-in-law have given birth to two sons and three daughters for him in the past few years, almost one every year, which shows his great response to Liu Hao's call.

One year after returning to the Han Dynasty, Liu Hao disappeared in the Xianyang Palace with four beauties and two thousand elite soldiers.

He has stayed in this world long enough. The system prompted him that he could return a few years ago, but it has been delayed until now. After taking over half of the world, it is time to go back.
