After Jia Xu received the news that Liu Yan and Zhou Yu had been assassinated, he personally led the team to Xinzhou. After all, for Jia Xu, nothing in this world is more important than his personal safety.
Compared with Zhou Yu, who was mostly seeking his own death, and Liu Yan, who had such strong security and could be assassinated, Jia Xu felt that he really had to explore the situation carefully.
As a result, when Jia Xu arrived in Xinzhou and just started to conduct investigations, Sima Lang was assassinated. This incident was still not done by the Yang family and the Yuan family, which was very outrageous.
"So, what are your Yang family and Yuan family doing?" Jia Xu looked at Yang Hao and Yuan Jing who came here to explain, and asked expressionlessly. However, this indifference made it difficult for them to explain.
The two of them were very helpless.
"Since the last round of assassination of Doctor Liu, our family has stopped planning for fear of getting into trouble again." Yang Hao tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart and explained as much as possible what the two families were doing recently, "
Since then, the assassins arranged by our two families have been at the Xinzhou Government Office and have not been dispatched. This matter has nothing to do with us."
"I know it has nothing to do with you." Jia Xu didn't really want to hear this unnecessary explanation. He didn't care whether this matter had anything to do with the Yang family or the Yuan family, because it was Sima Lang who was assassinated, let alone the
He's not dead. Even if he is dead, there will still be backup candidates to take over, so it doesn't matter.
What really made Jia Xu calm down and think about it was the current situation in Xinzhou. Jia Xu had never been to Xinzhou before. The information about Xinzhou mainly came from the intelligence system of Guo Jia and others. There was only one built by the intelligence system.
Overall cognition, in this cognition, Jia Xu believed that there were certain problems in Xinzhou, but when he actually came to Xinzhou...
Jia Xu had a feeling that it was chaotic. The situation here was very chaotic, and because of the problem of population migration, the social conflicts at the bottom here were also relatively large. Thanks to the fact that Xinzhou was still in the era of fertile water and grass these days, the three western regions
The years of management of the Sixteen Kingdoms have long since turned this area into mature soil, and it can rely on large-scale land rewards to maintain the most basic operation of the place.
However, people from different places, with different customs and cultures, and the remnants of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms settled in Xinzhou, and the resulting underlying conflicts were actually quite serious.
Although in terms of pure governance, turning social contradictions into contradictions at the bottom and instigating internal strife at the bottom is conducive to national rule. Even if there will be a certain amount of internal friction, it will reduce the cost of governance to a certain extent. After all, if the people at the bottom
If we sit together and unitely think about why we are like this, then the superiors will have to consider whether it is time for us to cut off our flesh.
But from Jia Xu's point of view, Jia Xu, who has experienced the Qiang Rebellion, knows very well that with the current chaos in Xinzhou, if a spark is thrown in, it will most likely explode, repeating the situation in Liangzhou back then.
As for whether they are Han people or locals, it actually makes no sense. The main force of the Qiang rebellion in the past is not Qiang people anymore. After all, many nominal ethnic conflicts will be found when you really look at them from a high latitude.
It is essentially a class conflict caused by interests.
Jia Xu did not have the consciousness of the class conflict behind it, but Jia Xu knew very well how the Liangzhou where he lived had exploded, so after he really came here, he no longer paid attention to Sima Lang, but focused on how to dismantle it.
Drop this bomb.
After sending Yang Hao and Yuan Jing away, Jia Xu sat aside and began to think quietly. Soon Liu Yan came in from the door. By this time, his injuries had already healed, but Jia Xu asked Liu Yan to cover up the incident first.
Let's see if anyone else has any ideas about assassination.
"Wenhe, did you do that thing about Sima Boda?" Liu Yan looked at Jia Xu and asked strangely. When Jia Xu did this, he did not cover up Liu Yan, so compared to
In the chaos that others were caught in, Liu Yan saw the matter clearly at a glance, but he was even more puzzled when he saw it clearly.
"It's just a matter of following the current and venting the anger of the Qiang people towards Sima Lang." Jia Xu said calmly, "To a certain extent, I saved Sima Lang's life."
"I'm just wondering why you used such a drastic method." Liu Yan looked at Jia Xu in confusion and asked, "There are obviously other methods, and this method is completely inconsistent with your normal handling habits.
I feel weird."
"Even you, who know me so well, find it strange, and other people would never think this way." Jia Xu said calmly, "Sima Lang did a terrible job this time, Yuan and Yang both
From a practical point of view, it is reasonable to change the family, but that was before I came here, but after I came here, I realized that Sima Lang still has enough value."
Liu Yan nodded when he heard the words. He was not blind. The problem in Xinzhou was huge, and it was different from Anxi, Zhongnan, and Ganges. In those places, the Han Dynasty won the war seriously and obtained the legal system by force.
, there is no need to be merciful and gentle to the locals.
Although the Han Dynasty also has a soft side when dealing with these people, and is not blindly tough, the Han Dynasty can indeed do some things that do not treat people as human beings when necessary. After all, those places are inherently
It is not the core area owned by the Han Dynasty. Even if the Han family that goes there has a sense of responsibility, the highest priority must be their own interests.
Therefore, in those places, even if the Han family behaved extremely kindly, they would kill people whenever necessary, and on a large scale.
But Xinzhou is different. Xinzhou is the northwest passage for the Han Dynasty. It is a newly established state and county of the Han Dynasty. Its population has been included in the ranks of the country's common people from the beginning, so many actions are impossible to carry out.
After all, Chen Xi, who is at the top, is moral and cannot kill local people indiscriminately.
As a result, Xinzhou has been on a powder keg, or to put it more bluntly, Xinzhou has not been cleaned up from the beginning.
These originally existing problems were only suppressed by the migrating population and Sima Lang's management. However, with the passage of time and the low development efficiency of the Northwest Passage, these suppressed problems gradually surfaced.
.
"From this point of view alone, Sima Lang's operation of replacing the population of New South Wales was actually correct, because only by replacing all the people in New South Wales, or replacing more than 80%, can the local population be completely eliminated.
The population conflict caused by locals and outsiders." Jia Xu said calmly.
The people who migrated from the thirteen counties of the Han Dynasty stopped in Xinzhou and no longer went to Central Asia. They also had to divide their fields and houses. How did the fields come from and how did the houses come from?
Did the non-citizens from the thirty-six countries who migrated take it away?
At that time, Sima Lang traded non-citizens from the Thirty-six Kingdoms and Han Dynasty people for two for one, or even three for one for aristocratic families who passed by. This was a strategy that killed two birds with one stone, but Sima Lang wanted to use this trick to eliminate permanent troubles.
This resulted in a significant decrease in the population of Xinzhou, and was finally warned by Chen Xi and Li You respectively.
"Just because you have the right idea doesn't mean you can do it." Liu Yan shook his head and said, "I also realized this problem after I came here, but I still want to say that Sima Lang's behavior was too radical. He had some problems in the early days.
The most important thing about why someone else chose to cause trouble like this later is that his thoughts were focused on his own interests from the very beginning."
Liu Yan is not a vegetarian. As the head of the Ministry of Manpower for so many years, he has seen and seen many things. There is no problem with Sima Lang's ability, Sima Lang's judgment, and Sima Lang's analysis of the contradictions at the bottom of Xinzhou. But in the end
The solution proposed was obviously based on family interests, not the interests of the country.
"It was agreed back then that Sima Boda gave up his position in Chang'an and came to Xinzhou. We said at the time that this action was actually to pave the way for the Sima family. We also chose to accept it at the time, but we just said,
From then on, Sima Boda had no chance to enter Chang'an." Jia Xu looked at Liu Yan calmly and said, "He didn't do anything bad, which I think is acceptable."
Liu Yan didn't argue when he heard this, which was a fact. After all, it was agreed that Sima Lang would go to Xinzhou to pave the way for his family, so they would accept his behavior within a certain level, but Sima Lang's behavior
I played it a few times and it was really too big.
"Back then, the hidden dangers were not eradicated from the root. Now, the conflicts between the former locals and the immigrants in New South Wales are getting bigger and bigger due to issues such as land and water competition. In addition, Sima Boda has carried out various measures to reduce conflicts.
The split-style merging of villages did reduce conflicts in the early days, but now it has increased the conflicts between villages." Jia Xu said with an indifferent expression.
In the early days, Sima Lang's plan was basically equivalent to vacating the cage and changing the bird. Some people say that this is a very outrageous plan in itself, but considering that the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions themselves were only influenced by the Han Dynasty, they were not ruled by the Han Dynasty.
In this area, the people did not fully accept the Chinese culture. Sima Lang colluded with the Central Asian aristocratic families to carry out mandatory two-for-one, or even three-for-one, and transferred the people of the thirty-six countries to Central Asia.
When they arrived in the lawless land of Central Asia, the Han family had many ways to subdue these people. Even if they couldn't subdue these people, the people of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions had hatred in their hearts and got involved with the thieves in Anxi's homeland. The Han family also had
The solution.
After all, in the moral land of the country, some methods cannot be used, but it does not mean that in a lawless land like Central Asia, it cannot be dealt with. Even if it fails, isn't there still a method of humane destruction?
Speaking of which, there is a reason why these places in Central Asia are called lawless places. From what Chen Xi said back then, the laws do not apply to restrain the major families. Unless one party files a lawsuit against the other party, the senior officials of the Han Dynasty will send Tingwei to lead the team.
Provide legal assistance to both parties article by article and answer each case one by one.
After this clear regulation appeared, the Central Asian family would not go out of their way to provide any legal aid as long as they had no problems. After all, each family knew what their own situation was. A legal aid team led by Ting Wei might not be able to provide legal aid in the future.
When the opponent was cleaning up, he also cleaned up his own family. After all, which family would be the little white flower? To put it too much, the three-drink fines done by major aristocratic families were put on the heads of ordinary people, and the whole family might be killed.
All right.
Therefore, the Central Asian aristocratic families never sued the officials, but handled matters on their own. Over time, the Han Dynasty became lawless in the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, many problems that require generations of morality and education to solve at home can be solved in just a few seconds after leaving the country. As for the accumulation of hatred, for the collective, it is never hatred that continues the war.
But profit.
Hatred is more about individuals. Hatred under the collective will is more of an inducement. Interest is the real core.
So when the two-to-one and three-to-one exchanges were made, Sima Lang was very happy. He took advantage and gave his family a good hand. The Central Asian family was also very happy. No matter how poor the population of the thirty-six countries was, it was a real experience.
The good population influenced by the Han culture is much easier to absorb than the Parthian people. As for the problems that such buying and selling of the population will cause, who cares?
If not, you can still blame them. For example, the kings of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions took their entire country's assets and went to Chang'an to enjoy their happiness. Some kings even scraped the land severely before leaving. In fact, you are being evicted now.
It's because your king sold you to us, Barabara, blame your king if you want, we paid the price.
As for the houses you built and the acres you cultivated, there is nothing we can do about it. When your king left, you people were transferred to us. Now we have dragged you to Central Asia. Let’s do this. We will redistribute them to you in Central Asia.
Houses and acres.
As a result, although the people of the thirty-six countries who were deported to Central Asia were very angry, there was no good solution. On the one hand, their military force really could not keep up with the Han family. On the other hand, now that the matter had come to this, the Han family
You are still willing to say nice things, and you are willing to lie to them, just muddle along.
It's just that Sima Lang's operation of replacing people with people, completely vacating Xinzhou, leaving no land but no people, was stopped by Chen Xi and Li You before it was completed. After all, if this replacement continues, a huge Xinzhou may even be destroyed by hundreds of people.
Tens of thousands of people are gone.
As a new state that will carry out the important task of the Northwest Passage in the future, if it does not even have a population of one million, it will not be able to provide food and grass supplies along the way. It may even become a burden to maintain the road, so Chen Xi
After noticing Sima Lang's crazy substitution move, Li You and Li You quickly stopped each other.
This kind of restraint has planted serious hidden dangers for Xinzhou. After Sima Lang recruited young men to replace people, and migrated batch by batch, the native people of Xinzhou were born with resistance to Sima Lang, even if Sima Lang was there.
Later, it changed its style and relied on Xinzhou's vast territory and sparsely populated characteristics to build many model villages and model counties to wash away its bad reputation.
But those who have experienced it personally may not believe it.
This is the source of a series of subsequent problems. The conflict between the locals and the foreign population in the thirty-six countries is also caused by this, and Sima Lang has been unable to solve this problem. This is not something that can be suppressed by spiritual talent like a spring breeze.
This is a real benefit.
"The most important thing about Sima Lang's courage to coerce Yuan Yang this time is that he also realizes that it is difficult for another person to take his position. The underlying conflicts arising in the Xinzhou environment have given him certain indispensable qualities in the current situation.
Substitutability." Jia Xu made the final conclusion.
Liu Yan sighed after hearing this. Sima Lang was not a fool no matter how he said it. Even if he was limited by what he had learned as a young man, he would not realize that his behavior was the same as sitting on the crater of a volcano after being reminded by a group of people.
To be able to reach this point is not simply because God wants to kill him, he must first make him crazy, but with the development of Xinzhou, Sima Lang gradually realizes his irreplaceability.
"As long as he is here, the situation in Xinzhou can still be suppressed, because he is the governor who has been in charge of Xinzhou from its establishment to the present. He knows how those contradictions were born, and he also knows which thread is the key to connecting these personnel.
After killing him, the new arrivals will only cause the place to explode." Jia Xu pointed at the locations of certain counties on the map and said.
"Local conflicts are too serious, and the speed of development is too low. The people at the bottom have fallen into a state of involution. Although they still have enough to eat, the bottleneck of upward development is obvious, resulting in the game at the level of interests, which can easily extend to the level of life.
." Liu Yan sighed and said.
But Liu Yan can understand this. There is no way. The people of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms lived well in those days, and then they were forcibly relocated to the part of the Central Plains where Chen Xi’s state-owned workshops, large factories, agriculture and animal husbandry were located.
Wait, even if there were complaints in the early stage, after one or two years, the continuous erosion of interests will have long ago made this group of people forget their grievances.
After all, the money that really falls into your pocket is your own money, and things like whether you are living well or not can't be deceived by verbal propaganda. The individual's self-feeling is actually very clear, and you don't mean to say it has increased.
As a matter of fact, you know what you eat, what you drink, what you spend, and whether you are nervous or not.
Therefore, the people of the thirty-six countries who were moved to the interior of the Central Plains are just like the local people who were forcibly demolished when Chen Xi merged villages. After scolding the government for two years, they will accept that the government is indeed doing a good job.
It's just that I have a problem in my mind when I execute it, so I don't really feel resentful.
Of course, there will inevitably be some people who are unable to turn around, just like the hundreds of thousands of people who crawled out of the mountains during the super cold wave in the past few years. Those people, no matter how hard their relatives persuade them, will even tell the truth to them.
They were faced with it, but they still refused to admit right or wrong. In the end, they realized that the Han Empire was still reliable after being hammered by hunger and cold.
On the contrary, those local people who stayed in the Thirty-six Kingdoms and did not undergo forced relocation until Sima Lang became the governor and united with the Han family to carry out forced relocation were unlucky. Moreover, this wave of forced relocation will develop rapidly in the future.
Unable to keep up and unable to use the butcher knife, it led to very serious consequences. Almost all the forces in Xinzhou against Sima Lang have their roots here.
"If anyone else comes, unless they have Chen Zichuan's ability, even I can't do anything in the first year. I can see this contradiction, but it takes too much time and energy to resolve it.
There are too many." Jia Xu looked at Liu Yan and sighed and said, "Up to now, although these internal conflicts have caused great hidden dangers, they have also become Sima Lang's protective talisman to a certain extent.
The aspect of turning waste into treasure is really great.”
"If the Yuan family and the Yang family break up with Sima Lang, there may be turmoil in Xinzhou. Sima Lang's death will completely explode the undercurrent of Xinzhou." Jia Xu said seriously, "Don't give it.
With Sima Lang's sword, certain things cannot be overcome."
After Sima Lang died, some local conflicts lacked suppression at the top level. The area that was originally stabilized by Sima Lang's benefits from time to time and a little kindness may directly break out in a fight for water.
County level, or even county level riots.
But without this knife, some guys who had already had enough patience with Sima Lang would do it themselves, and they might lose control and directly cause turmoil in the government office. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Jia Xu manually sent Sima Lang aside.
He lay down and died. Even the news was very clear. Because there were top doctors from Chang'an, Sima Lang would not die, but he was definitely seriously injured, because the top doctors from Chang'an did not treat him on the spot.
Sima Lang came to the rescue.
"I don't know how to pursue Sima Lang's problem now. The idea of purely leaving no one behind can indeed solve the problem, but this idea is too cruel. It is impossible for normal people to think of such an operation. From this aspect
If you say..." Jia Xu sighed and looked at Liu Yan quietly.
Liu Yan did not answer, but the answer was already in his mind. There was nothing to say. Being able to implement the policy of leaving land but not people is no longer a matter of determination. It is a matter of not treating the locals as human beings, but it seems
It is self-evident what it means that the gentle and kind-hearted Sima Lang can implement such a plan.
"This kind of plan will either be completely dealt with, or it will make the locals completely frightened. The half-baked plan like now is the worst." Jia Xu sighed and said, not to mention the character and morality that Chen Xi likes to talk about.
From a purely work perspective, Jia Xu did not think there was anything wrong with Sima Lang's handling of the matter, because the situation in Xinzhou at that time was that it was most correct to cut through the mess with a quick knife.
Completely eliminate the remnants of the thirty-six countries, and then, after counting the migrating populations, carry out immigration to the border in the name of the country to completely solve the problem.
Of course, the biggest problem with this operation may be that it cannot pass Chen Xi's review.
Thinking about it now, Sima Lang probably had the idea of acting first and reporting later from the beginning, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by Chen Xi and Li You. He had no way to clean up the mess and had to lie down.
