After Li Xiuning accepted Feng Ang's gift, Feng Ang's gift-giving process in Chang'an City was completed.
All the people he couldn't afford to offend, or those he couldn't afford to offend, had accepted his gifts, so naturally they couldn't say anything bad about him. He finally straightened up, changed from his initial submissiveness, and became more calm.
few.
In Zhaode Hall, Li Yuanji hosted Feng Ang for the third time and finally got down to business.
"Feng Aiqing, how do you think Jiaozhou should be managed to prosper today?"
Li Yuanji held a wine cup and after accompanying Feng Ang for many scenes, he asked this crucial question.
There was also Chen Shuda and Ren Gui accompanying him at the banquet. When they heard this, they both looked at Feng An, wondering how Feng An would answer.
Feng Ang seemed to have expected this question from Li Yuanji, and said with a calm smile: "Your Highness, like Changsun's governor, I'm afraid I will never be able to make Jiaozhou prosperous."
Li Yuanji nodded in agreement.
He sent Changsun Wuji to Jiaozhou, but he did not expect Changsun Wuji to manage Jiaozhou. He just asked Changsun Wuji to reclaim wasteland in Jiaozhou and vigorously promote agriculture in Jiaozhou, and then used this to trap Changsun Wuji.
Therefore, Changsun Wuji knew that he would not succeed.
Chen Shuda took advantage of the situation and asked: "In the opinion of Geng Gong, how should we manage Jiaozhou?"
Feng An had already made plans in his mind, and immediately said with a smile without hesitation: "Of course there will be a great effort to educate and transform the barbarians into Han people. When everyone in Jiaozhou wears Han clothes, learns Chinese characters, and respects Han etiquette, Jiaozhou will definitely prosper.
"
This seems to give an idea, but in fact it means nothing.
If it were easy to promote Sinicization in Jiaozhou, this problem would not have been left to the Tang Dynasty. It would have been solved as early as the Sui Dynasty and even the Han Dynasty.
It is because it is not easy to promote Chinese culture in Jiaozhou that the problem of Jiaozhou has been left to this day.
It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the Han people were forced to migrate south again, and they reluctantly completed the initial sinicization in Jiaozhou.
Through the efforts of the Ming and Qing dynasties, most places in Jiaozhou were finally completely Sinicized.
The reason why we say most places is because some places were lost before they were passed down to later generations, and were eventually occupied by monkeys.
However, it is the Tang Dynasty now, not the Southern Song Dynasty, nor the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Tang Dynasty cannot wait for its successor to conquer Jiaozhou, so it must find a way that suits the Tang Dynasty and can conquer Jiaozhou now.
Ren Gui heard the coping meaning in Feng An's words and said unceremoniously: "Don't you think Mr. Geng thinks there is no difference between saying this and not saying it?"
Feng An was not angry, nor was he frightened by this. Instead, he said in a dumbfounded voice, "Although Xiaguan has lived in Jiaozhou for a long time, when it comes to planning for Jiaozhou, these are the only things he can think of. What can I say if I don't say this?"
You can't face His Highness and ask for advice without saying a word, right?"
Ren Gui asked for trouble, and after a heavy snort, she didn't want to speak anymore.
Chen Shuda took Feng An's words and said: "Mr. Geng has lived in Jiaozhou for a long time, so we can't use such old-fashioned things to offend His Highness, right?"
Li Yuanji echoed in a dignified manner, "That's right..."
The smile on Feng An's face suddenly became a little stiff. He knew that it would be impossible if he didn't pour out some useful information, so he immediately said: "Besides, there are no other ways."
Chen Shuda immediately put on a posture of asking for advice and waited for Feng An's next words.
Feng An hesitated for a moment, and said a little shyly: "In fact, among the hundreds of barbarians in Jiaozhou, many tribes are led by women. If we can support them and enter into marriages with them, we should be able to make them feel happy in a short time.
To the Han Dynasty, and use this to gather a group of barbarians.
Then if we can educate these barbarians, we should be able to achieve some success."
As soon as Feng An's words came out, several people present understood why Feng An was embarrassed to speak.
Because that's what his grandfather Feng Bao did when he was sent to Jiaozhou.
And the effect is very good.
With the joint efforts of his grandfather, his grandmother, his father, and him, some of the slang people have now been completely Chineseized, and the remaining slang people have either joined the Feng family and followed Mrs. Xian’s clan.
If they continue to become Chinese, they may switch to other barbarian tribes and become members of other barbarian tribes.
It can be said that in Jiaozhou now, the Li tribe controlled by the Feng family is the largest Li tribe in Jiaozhou. If we continue to work hard, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will become the only Li tribe.
If the Tang Dynasty could further manage Jiaozhou and thoroughly implement Hanization in Jiaozhou, then in a few decades there might not be any slang people anymore, and some would just be a branch of the Han people.
If the Tang Dynasty followed Feng's approach in Jiaozhou, recruited powerful chiefs, intermarryed with them, and then used this to Chineseize them, then in two or three generations, there should be some results.
Unfortunately, this time is too long.
Chen Shuda and Ren Gui may not care, and may even be happy that future generations can find a career that can last two or three generations.
But Li Yuanji couldn't care less.
He cannot wait for two or three generations, nor does he want to wait for two or three generations.
So when Chen Shuda was about to admit Feng An's statement, Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "Although this method is good, it takes too long. Is there a more convenient way?"
Feng An was stunned for a moment, his face full of astonishment.
When Li Yuanji said this, didn't he deny the efforts of three generations of them?
If there were other convenient ways, wouldn't the perseverance shown by these three generations in this matter seem stupid?
Chen Shuda and Ren Gui both felt that His Highness King Yong seemed a little impatient. After looking at each other, they were ready to give warning.
The Tang Dynasty wanted to promote Sinicization in Jiaozhou and transform Jiaozhou's barbarians from barbarians to Han. This was a task that would take decades or even hundreds of years to complete and could not be accomplished overnight.
After all, the Tang Dynasty wanted to assimilate a nation with hundreds of thousands of households and millions of people through less bloody means.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The difficulties you will encounter must be in the hundreds and thousands. They cannot be solved in a few words and require hard work.
So being too hasty will definitely not lead to success.
"Your Highness..."
Chen Shuda raised his hands and prepared to admonish.
But before he could say anything, Li Yuanji blocked him.
Li Yuanji waved his hands and said: "I know that haste makes waste, but I, the Tang Dynasty, don't have that much time to keep an eye on Jiaozhou."
There are really too many things that Datang needs to do, and there are many more important things than Jiaozhou.
Datang could not allocate too much energy to keep an eye on Jiaozhou.
The places that the Tang Dynasty wanted to conquer were far more than just Jiaozhou.
Therefore, the problem of Jiaozhou must be solved with a sharp knife, rather than with hard work, exhausting efforts, and spending several generations of efforts to solve it.
"So I need a more convenient way!"
Li Yuanji stared at Chen Shuda, Ren Gui and Feng An and said.
Chen Shuda knew that Datang still had many problems waiting to be solved, and he really could not waste time on Jiaozhou, so he hesitated and said nothing.
Ren Gui also knew this truth, so he didn't say much, but frowned and thought about a solution.
Feng An understood the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, but he did not have a deep understanding of the future prospects of the Tang Dynasty and the problems to be solved in the future, so he did not remain silent like Chen Shuda and Ren Gui.
"Your Highness, the problem of Kejiazhou cannot be solved by cutting the knot with a quick knife. It must be done through hard work."
Li Yuanji nodded, indicating that he agreed with Feng Ang's statement, but still asked: "So do you have any other more convenient ways?"
As soon as Feng Ang heard this, he knew that Li Yuanji had already made up his mind, and his attempts to persuade him were of no use. He could only sigh deeply, shake his head and said: "Otherwise, I have no other choice.
"
It's not that there is no way. If the imperial court is willing to spend a lot of money and send millions of troops to plow the mountains and ridges of Jiaozhou, drive out all the barbarians in the mountains, let them gather together, and violently Chineseize them,
That would allow Jiaozhou to be Chineseized in a short period of time.
But the price to pay is too high, and there are too many variables that will arise.
Unless the imperial court was crazy, it would be impossible for it to spend such a large sum of money.
With a million-strong army, the imperial court could sweep across the Eastern and Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Goguryeo, Baekje, and even more distant places, so there was no need to focus on the three-acre land of Jiaozhou.
"You say, how about sending merchants to the mountains and forests to collect all kinds of wild products, attracting barbarians to come down from the mountains, and then Chineseize them?"
Since Feng Ang had no other choice, Li Yuanji expressed his thoughts.
The idea was inspired by later generations.
First, we will create a group of rich barbarians by proactively collecting goods from the mountains, and then encourage more barbarians to go to the sea. Then let these rich barbarians set up the most primitive handicraft workshops, attract barbarians to work in the mountains, and give the barbarians better treatment.
, let them settle down at the foot of the mountain, and finally use this to drain the young people from the barbarian villages.
By the time the barbarians came to their senses, they had already adapted to the life of the Han people. If they were asked to go back to the mountains, they themselves would probably not agree.
As for the old people in the barbarian villages, take them down the mountain when the time is right. If they want to stick to the barbarian villages and die of old age, then let them be.
Of course, the methods of later generations may not be suitable for the soil of the Tang Dynasty, so changes must be made continuously according to specific conditions.
What Li Yuanji can think of at present is to first increase the knowledge of the barbarians through the mouths of merchants, so that the barbarians are full of yearning for life down the mountain, and then bribe the barbarian leaders to recruit labor from the barbarian villages and let them go to various places.
Increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons.
When their horizons became higher and their morale became higher, they no longer wanted to go back to the village.
When the time comes, they will find a way to stay without having to tell the court.
At that time, the imperial court can smoothly implement Chineseization on them.
This is also a long-term process and takes some time, but if we brainstorm more ideas, collect more methods, and adopt a multi-pronged approach, the time required will be shorter.
