When Liu Xie heard Xu Shu's words, he immediately became interested.

Although he had already thought about calling the Xianbei tribes before, for now, he didn't think of a good way. The only thing he could think of was to open a mutual trade and then establish a good relationship with the Xianbei tribe.

Then he used the various benefits within the Han Dynasty, or the high salary, to tie the Xianbei tribe to his chariot.

At the same time, in order to prevent the Xianbei tribe from overpopulation, Liu Xie planned to take the form of Rome, allowing the Xianbei tribe to join his camp as mercenaries, and then let them expand territory for him.

But now, Xu Shu's suggestion can indeed divide the Xianbei tribe and allow the herdsmen of the Xianbei tribes to directly become members of their own camp.

This is like letting the great integration among future generations directly make the other side proud of being Han people.

This is like, in the Roman Empire, you ran to tell those barbarians that you have the opportunity to become a member of Roman citizens, but the prerequisite is that you must contribute to our Rome.

What kind of contribution is that you herd our horses, guard our borders, and provide taxes. Correspondingly, you can claim to be Han people and receive the protection of the Han people.

Don't think that this kind of thing is impossible. You must know that the Han Dynasty of this era, even at the end of the Han Dynasty, was still yearned for by all the surrounding ethnic groups.

For example, the Xianbei people on the grassland look carefree and carefree, galloping on their horses. But in fact they are the opposite.

Every winter is a test for the herdsmen on the grassland. If you pass, you can survive. If you fail, you will freeze to death on the grassland.

Not only do people have to consider the problem of surviving the winter, but their cattle and sheep also need to consider it. Otherwise, if all the cattle and sheep freeze to death overnight, the tribe will also perish in the coming year.

That's why the grassland tribes have the habit of going south to catch the autumn breeze every year. In fact, to put it bluntly, if they don't come to the Han Dynasty to catch the autumn breeze and don't store enough food, their entire tribe will freeze to death.

Not only that, there is no iron ore or salt on the grassland. Therefore, the nomadic people on the grassland look very cool, but in reality it is extremely difficult.

Now, according to Xu Shu's intention, the border is to be completely opened so that the Xianbei people can settle in the territory of the Han Dynasty and become Han people. This means that after becoming Han people, no salt or iron will be controlled.

At the same time, these herdsmen can also be taught to plant, so that the herdsmen can cultivate while grazing, allowing them to have enough food for the winter.

Again, as long as they are well fed and warmly clothed, no one is willing to fight with a knife.

"Yuan Zhi, you continue." Liu Xie looked at Xu Shu with interest. He wanted to see how much inventory Xu Shu had.

Zhang Yang on the side also looked at Xu Shu expectantly.

In fact, it needs to be explained that for veterans like Zhang Yang and Yang Feng, especially the veterans who played a decisive role in Liu Xiedong's return to the East, it is impossible to say that they are not jealous of these rising stars.

However, their thoughts had been seen by Liu Xie a long time ago, and Liu Xie spent a whole day hosting a banquet for Zhang Yang, Yang Feng and other senior ministers, and talked to them about these matters heart-to-heart.

Liu Xie's meaning is very simple, that is, he, Liu Xie, is not a ruthless and ungrateful emperor. Liu Xie keeps in mind the achievements of these veterans.

But the Han Dynasty needs to be rejuvenated, needs to be rich and powerful, and needs to restore the glory of Hanwu, so it must constantly recruit talented people.

After all, veterans will grow old one day. If we only rely on veterans, then who should we rely on to govern the big man when these veterans are too old to move?

Therefore, Liu Xie respects veterans like Yang Feng, but he also needs to pay attention to cultivating a new generation of talents so that they can take on the important task of governing the Han Dynasty as soon as possible.

However, this does not mean that Liu Xie will deprive the old ministers of their rights. After all, these old ministers are like needles that anchor the sea. With them, they can ensure that the Han Dynasty can continue to innovate and develop in a relatively stable environment.

.

In exchange for benefits, Liu Xie also granted them knighthoods, which were passed down to three generations.

In this way, the resentment in the hearts of the old ministers can be resolved as much as possible. Of course, this is only one of the prerequisites. In fact, what is more important is that these veterans, whether Zhang Yang or Yang Feng, from the bottom of their hearts,

I hope the big man can stay strong.

Although it is said that their intentions at the beginning were not simple. For example, Yang Feng wanted to control Liu Xie, to the extent of coercing the emperor to control the princes, and wanted to be like Dong Lao.

There are also people like Zhang Yang who believe that they are Han ministers and should respect the Han Dynasty.

But no matter what, during the period of time they spent with Liu Xie, they all saw clearly that Liu Xie was a wise master, and he might really be able to regain the glory of Han Dynasty.

Later, the original intention of these people changed. They all wanted to support Liu Xie and let him revive the Han Dynasty, and in this way, they could also benefit from it.

To use a metaphor that is easier to understand, the current Dahan is like a listed company, Liu Xie is the president, and these veterans are all shareholders.

Only when the company becomes stronger can shareholders like them continue to receive benefits.

"Your Majesty, I just have a preliminary idea. We can use land to attract herdsmen from the Xianbei tribes to settle in Bingzhou."

"At the same time, send people to teach them farming. In this way, after they settle down, they will naturally feel grateful to my big man."

"At the same time, we can also recruit these Xianbei herdsmen and let them serve our Han army to enhance the strength of our Han army."

"In this way, whether it is people's livelihood or military affairs, the Xianbei clan is tied and closely related to my big man. By then, even if someone wants to separate us from the Xianbei tribes, the Xianbei tribes will not easily follow

They go."

Xu Shu heard Liu Xie's words, reorganized his words, and then said to Liu Xie.

"So, specifically, what do you want to do?" Liu Xie looked at Xu Shu and asked.

"Your Majesty, I think we should send an official to Bingzhou to take charge of this matter full-time. Let the Xianbei tribes open up wasteland in the three counties of Yunzhong, Wuyuan and Gaoque. At the same time, I will send immigrants from Shangdang, Taiyuan and Hedong, and let Hu Han

Living together."

"In this way, there are Hu people among the Han people, and there are Han people among the Hu people. They can learn from each other and live together. This will not only prevent the Xianbei people from doing evil after entering the hinterland of our Han Dynasty, but also better teach the Hu people to open up wasteland."

"Then the imperial court will exempt the three counties from all kinds of taxes. In this way, it will only take three years for the barbarians in these three counties to return home."

When Liu Xie heard Xu Shu's words, he couldn't help but sigh, Xu Shu really has two brushes.

Just a simple immigration can solve the long-standing border problems of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, the strategy proposed by Xu Shu can also be used in the future.
