The Mansion of the Hussian General of the Han Dynasty.

When the Shandong nobles, and even most of the Han Dynasty, focused their attention on Jingzhou, thinking that Jingzhou would affect the entire world, in Guanzhong Chang'an, Fei Qian led the Shanxi nobles to set their sights on the future and look towards a more promising future.

A vast world.

When Fei Qian convened everyone for discussion, most people thought he was going to discuss matters related to Jingzhou. To everyone's surprise, Fei Qian didn't say anything about Jingzhou at all. Instead, he gave a picture of the reason.

Sima Yi personally remeasured and drew the map of the Northern Territory of the Han Dynasty.

Although it still looks somewhat rough, and even slightly different from the location marks in Fei Qian's impression, it is perhaps the only map of Northern Xinjiang that is closest to military purposes and the most accurate that Dahan has at the moment.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp..."

Everyone couldn't help but start talking in low voices.

Xun You stood up, opened the several volumes of documents on the desk one by one, reported to Fei Qian, and showed them to everyone.

In order to cope with the arrival of Little Glacier, and to consolidate his authority over the existing desert, Fei Qian asked Xun You to formulate a series of farming plans in the North. In areas suitable for farming but relatively sparsely populated, such as Shuofang,

In Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang and other places, a certain amount of land was planned to facilitate the subsequent farming and livestock farming of Han and Hu people, as well as mutual trade within a certain range.

According to Xun You's calculations, if they operate normally, these farmland areas can achieve an initial balance of payments in about three years. Within the next five years, they can basically supplement local construction and stabilize border stability.

In five to ten years, it will become a new economic growth point, providing food, grass and war horses for the Han Empire...

Han Empire.

A whole new vocabulary.

Whenever they hear this word, everyone present can't help but straighten their waists.

Empire, in a narrow sense, is used to describe a powerful country ruled by an emperor, and in a broad sense, it is used to describe a country with strong national power, not limited to monarchy.

Empire is not an inherent word of traditional China, but a new word born in the process of cultural exchanges between the East and the West. The Chinese people’s habit of expressing their own national community is that of princes and dynasties, so at the beginning, these subordinates of Fei Qian

Still a little uncomfortable...

But Fei Qian used the events in the Western Regions to show these Shanxi nobles that when the Western Regions were fighting against the Wusun Kingdom, and then there was the Kushan Empire, these Shanxi nobles naturally accepted the "Empire"

the concept of.

Even Guisun, Ha, and Wusun are called kingdoms. Why should I, a big man, be an empire?

As for why it’s not the Celestial Empire?

hehe.

Everyone looked to the left, looked to the right, everyone understood what they were thinking, and if they didn’t understand, they went to play in the mud next to it...

Let’s go back to the issue of the barbarians and the farming in northern Xinjiang.

According to the Husband General Fei Qian's experience in educating the Southern Huns in the Hetao area, as long as they are willing to naturalize, there is no need to exclude them to a certain extent, because these years have proven that the Southern Huns are

Raising horses, herding cattle and sheep, and recruiting for war can all be useful supplements to the big man.

The biggest problem of the Hu people is that they are unstable. They are easy to pacify and then rebel, and they rebel and are pacified again and again, which eventually becomes a hidden danger. However, after a period of education and promotion, in Xun You's report, it was found that not all Hu people are actually

Everyone will become an enemy, or in other words, they will all become enemies in the end.

In the Hetao area, whether it is farming or the education of the Southern Xiongnu, they all reflect a prosperous situation. The overall economic investment in the Hetao area is shrinking year by year, while the output is increasing year by year. Even those who do not know anything about economics

After seeing Xun You's report, the officials couldn't help but praise him.

In other words, for a long time to come, as long as the Hussars General Fei's policy of lurking in the Hetao area of ​​Beidi does not change, then the Hetao area will become a new food and grass supply point...

According to Xun You's optimistic estimate, this growth point will peak when the population reaches about one million, and then output may begin to decline due to excessive population. Now, it is still less than half, which means there is still

More space…

The key is that this model can be promoted!

Anything that is forewarned will stand, anything that is not forewarned will be ruined.

For the development of the entire northern territory, it is impossible to wait until the population of the Hetao area is overflowing before developing other areas. Since the area from the Hetao to Youzhou basically falls under Fei Qian's jurisdiction, the northern area of ​​Dahan will gradually be redeveloped.

Restoring production and development has become the overall goal in the next ten years or so.

Fei Qian looked around, and then said: "Xugong River observes the sky at night, and calculates based on the Qianxiang calendar, there will still be snow disasters in the next five to ten years..." In fact, it should be twenty years, or even thirty years, but

If I really said that, I would probably be in despair.

"Snow disaster?! My lord, you mean... like it's the beginning of this year?" Wei Duan couldn't help but ask.

It's no wonder that Wei Duan was nervous. After all, this time the Guanzhong gentry could be said to have lost both their wives and their troops. On the one hand, the natural disaster itself caused a crop failure, and on the other hand, they were caught for talking about "emphasis on agriculture" but actually taking action.

I had to stick my butt out and was spanked again...

The executor is Wei Duan. So now Wei Duan is more or less trapped in the situation of Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror. He is not a human being inside and outside. Hearing that natural disasters similar to this year will come again, his scalp is naturally tight and his hands and feet are numb.

Fei Qian nodded slightly.

Everyone couldn't help but whisper and discuss among themselves.

The Qianxiang calendar is still in the process of adjustment, but this does not prevent Fei Qian from taking out Xu Yue's flag and pulling it. Because of the arrival of the Little Ice Age, the overall weather is extremely abnormal, even if the Qianxiang calendar is improved.

, in the face of such abnormal changes, there is still some powerlessness. Forcibly promoting the new calendar will only lead to a decline in the prestige of the new calendar. It is better to wait for the weather to stabilize for a period of time before fully rolling it out.

In view of the paucity of historical records and the frequent fights between the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty, later generations can only find fragments of information about the weather conditions during this period in the late Han Dynasty from descriptions of major wars...

Guanzhong has encountered severe cold, so it will be even more severe in the desert.

When the Hu people encounter a snowstorm, they have only two options: one is to wait for death, and the other is to rob and transfer their own disaster to others.

The mild climate that has lasted for three to four hundred years has prevented the desert from reaching a desperate situation. In history, the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and Xianbei, defeated Xianbei and Wuhuan, defeated Wuhuan and Rouran. In the desert

Not only Fei Qian couldn't figure out how many people, how many livestock, and how many tribal gathering points there were, but even the kings of the desert might not be able to understand.

The five barbarians who destroyed China after the Three Kingdoms were, to a certain extent, the result of these barbarians fighting each other and shifting disasters. The bastards of the Sima family were one thing, but the fact that so many barbarians were attracted to the scene at that time also shows that in fact the barbarians in the desert

The number of people was far greater than Fei Qian had imagined before.

Sitting aside, Sima Yi suddenly felt Fei Qian's gaze, which was slightly cold. He couldn't help but shiver. When he carefully raised his head to check, he didn't see anything unusual. He only heard that Fei Qian was slowly

He said slowly:

"From this year onwards, all barbarians who want to avoid the snowstorm and enter northern Xinjiang must follow the Ban Law. Sima Zhongda..."

Sima Yi quickly raised his hands and replied: "I'm here."

"Let's introduce the situation in Northern Xinjiang..."

"I accept your order." Sima Hui stood up, walked to the middle, and took Xun You's place.

"Half Law", as the name suggests, is half of the law.

Hu people inevitably have difficulty communicating, and it is difficult for Hu people to understand complex laws, so they try to use simple models as much as possible.

In view of the long-standing conflicts between the Hu people and the Han people, when the Hu people have to go south to seek shelter due to snowstorms, the biggest priority is not to immediately ensure that the Hu people have enough food and clothing, nor to help them as soon as possible in the short term.

Instead of resuming production within the time limit, we must first weaken the power of these Hu people, ensure a safe, rapid and complete suppression of the Hu tribes, and control the thousands-mile territory of the Han Dynasty.

Thanks to the advice of a later generation called Confucius and Mencius University, it proves that when dealing with foreigners, blindly talking about Confucius and Mencius and talking about treatment will not work at all. It will only allow the barbarians to take advantage of them, so we must take action when it is time to take action.

, only honest and obedient Hu people can be considered good Hu people.

So how can we make the barbarians obedient?

The first is to weaken the power of the barbarians.

All Hu people who enter Han territory to escape the snowstorm are required to hand over half of their population and livestock. Then half of the surrendered population and livestock will become Fei Qian's direct profit, and he will be converted into mercenaries or laborers under his command.

The rest will be replenished to the field soldiers under the jurisdiction of the local field captain, responsible for farming and grazing. Half of these surrendered people and livestock will be returned within five years, and the remainder will be returned after ten years. Those who are willing to go back, are willing to stay.

You can continue to be a mercenary next time.

To put it simply, the Hu people had to use their population and livestock as a "deposit" in exchange for a piece of land where they could settle in the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty.

Most people don't want to accept the deposit, but it seems easy to nod.

In most cases, the survival ability of these barbarians in the desert is higher than that of the Han people. As long as their livestock do not die, these barbarians can continue to live. Therefore, if the barbarians are allowed to do whatever they need, they can do so without restraint.

Relieving them will only fatten them and starve us Han people. The result is self-evident. Therefore, in this situation in the desert, we must first use force to suppress the barbarians and weaken their strength, and then use agriculture, commerce, and animal husbandry to

Gradually, Han and Hu people began to live together, civilized the Hu people, and finally gradually Hanized the Hu people, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of controlling the barbarians with barbarians and permanently controlling the desert.

"What if..." Du Ji frowned, "The barbarians may have harsh words and are unwilling to obey them, so what should we do?"

Sima Yi sneered, seeming to understand why Fei Qian had a cold gaze just now, and said slowly: "Then hit the barbarians until they have no choice but to leave!"

"With the lord Wei Wei, General Zilong is brave..." Sima Yi bowed his hand to Fei Qian, and then said proudly, "The knights of Youbei, three thousand chase the north, two defeat the royal court..."

If it weren't for the General Hussars and a group of big bosses at the scene, Sima Hui couldn't help but want to penetrate his waist for a while, but he was so embarrassed...

Of course, Sima Yi did have such pride. The two winter battles against the Xianbei Royal Court not only proved the hussar army's ability to fight in cold winter weather, but also completely broke the original pattern in the desert.

This caused the entire desert to completely fall into a period of chaos, and there was no longer a tribal group that could compete with the big man.

In addition, Fei Qian had previously sent people to contact the tribes in the desert. After the Xianbei power weakened, cows, ghosts, gods and snakes appeared in the desert. At this time, under the merger and reorganization of the Hu people, there would inevitably be many

Small tribes cannot be squeezed and will tend to go south.

Although the "half law" is quite harsh for the barbarians, it is still better than being completely annexed by a large tribe, not to mention that it will be gradually returned after five years, which makes this "deposit" seem to be relatively

Easy to accept.
To be continued...
