"The Yinshan Mountains in the north of the Hetao block the cold air from the south, and the river in the south blocks the erosion of the desert. The soil is fertile and the water source is sufficient, making it suitable for farming and animal husbandry. I feel that in addition to developing agriculture, animal husbandry cannot be given up. The two complement each other.
Both are indispensable," said farmer Xu Lin.
One characteristic of all schools of thought is that when they think something else is good, they will claim it as their own. The typical example is Confucianism, where the Six Arts of the Gentleman were forcibly transformed into the Six Arts of Confucianism.
Farmers are no exception. In the past, in addition to thinking, farmers mainly studied how to cultivate land and increase food production. Now they have begun to classify animal husbandry into the category of farmers.
"The Xiongnu have been destroyed. Large pastures can be planned in the north and south of Yinshan. It is up to you farmers to select the sites." Xunzi looked at Xu Lin and said.
The implication is that there are open spaces everywhere here, and as long as there are enough people, you can allocate as much territory as you want.
"Okay." Xu Lin nodded.
"The second thing is to build cities. There are too few cities in the Hetao. Each city is hundreds of miles apart. There are no roads in the middle, making communication difficult. We must choose the site to build the city as soon as possible, build roads, connect various places, and help
With the development of the Hetao, materials can be better transported to the mainland." Xunzi continued.
"I will be responsible for selecting a site to build the city, but I need a large number of prisoners." Gongsun Long said.
"Together with Mr. Zibing and I, city construction and road construction are inseparable." Wei Qi said, "In fact, we can also use water transportation. The water flow here is gentle and the river runs from east to west, north and south. Water transportation is more convenient and safer than land transportation."
Xunzi was stunned for a moment. As a native of the north, it was really difficult to think of using water transportation. After Wei Qi reminded him, he suddenly realized that from Wuyuan, you can go all the way east along the river, and then go northeast from the Dahei River to Yunzhong.
Much faster than traveling by land.
"I will write it down." Xunzi nodded. "The third thing is the handling of He Zong, Lou Fan, Lin Hu and Rong Di."
After the Zhao State defeated the Huns, they demoted all the captured soldiers as slaves. Except for the servants who gave the soldiers rewards, the rest were all used as free labor to contribute to the construction of the Zhao State. However, He, who had surrendered to the Zhao State earlier,
Zong, Lou Fan, Lin Hu and some small branches have not been dealt with.
"What's your opinion, Your Majesty?" Wei Qi asked. The key to this matter was not Rong Di, but Zhao Kuo's attitude.
"The king's meaning is very clear. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Either they will become my Zhao people forever. Or they will disappear forever." Han Fei said coldly. What did Zhao Kuo think after following Zhao Kuo for so long?
Yes, he still didn't know clearly, what's more, Zhao Kuo didn't hide his inner thoughts at all.
"Let them choose for themselves. If they are willing to move to the inland, we, the State of Zhao, will allocate land. If they want to continue living here, they can continue to live here. Whether they are grazing or farming, they will be included in the household registration. Everything is the same as that of the Zhao people. Everyone
The tribes are managed and educated by the officials stationed in our country, Zhao."
"At the same time, we encourage He Zong, Lin Hu, and Lou Fan to intermarry with our Zhao people. When our Zhao country completes the immigration, which will be up to twenty years, Zhao will no longer have the He Zong, Lin Hu, and Lou Fan tribes." Wei Qi said.
.
If they had their own written language, the Zhao State would still need to spend some effort, but the three tribes did not even have writing, and their language was close to the Zhao language. Facing the crushing pressure of high civilization, they had no ability to resist...
"Does this mean that we must be included in the management of Zhao State in the future?" Lin Hujun asked after receiving the news.
"Yes, that's for sure. You are free to choose the rest." Xunzi nodded, "All the conditions are here. Lin Hujun, Lou Fanjun, and He Zongjun can take their time to read it. If you have any questions, you can ask.
"
Lin Hujun flipped through it casually and closed it. "I can't read, so I won't read it. Let's just ask directly. How are we, the three of Zhao, going to arrange it?"
"As the same king, I can continue to lead your tribe." Xunzi said.
"Then can we join the army?" He Zongjun asked.
"After having household registration, everyone can join the army. However, the assessment in our Zhao country is very strict and the training is very hard. Most people cannot persist. Of course, the treatment is also very good. As long as it is a professional army, one meal of meat every day is
indispensable
Yes, and there will be food and salary every month. As for the three leaders, if they are willing to join the army, our Zhao State can provide the position of deputy army commander." Xunzi said.
"I want to join the army." He Zongjun said loudly immediately.
"You don't care about He Zong anymore?" Lin Hujun and Lou Fanjun looked at him in surprise.
"Zhao will naturally arrange for people to manage it. I'm going to perform meritorious service on the battlefield." He Zongjun said hummingly.
Xunzi glanced at He Zongjun in surprise. He didn't know whether this reckless man had done it by mistake or on purpose.
If the State of Zhao wanted to integrate the three tribes, it could not avoid the monarchs of the three tribes. It can be said that the end of the integration was to abolish the three monarchs. The first choice of Lord Hezong was to let go completely and hand over the Hezong to the State of Zhao, which seemed like a loss.
He has gained a lot of power. In fact, he has to let go of these sooner or later, and letting go early can get invisible benefits. In order to set an example, Zhao Guo will naturally return the favor and open the door for him.
"Okay, I will report it to the king." Xunzi nodded and looked at Lou Fanjun and Lin Hujun.
"Let's think about it again," the two said awkwardly.
While Xunzi, Gongsun Long and others were planning the development of the Hetao, Zhao Kuo led 50,000 elite Zhao troops southward along the river.
Under the scorching sun, the slender team drew a long line on the ground. The yellow sand rolled on both sides, the heat wave steamed, and even the snow lions drooped their ears listlessly. In addition to vegetation growing near the Yellow River,
Elsewhere only yellow sand remains.
"I have never thought before that there is really only a thin line between the river and the desert. In front of me is the endless yellow sand, and under my feet is the river flowing quietly." Li Fu said with emotion.
"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles." Huang Shigong was lying on his horse, holding a brush in his hand and not knowing what he was writing.
"What is Huang Qing writing?" Zhao Kuo asked curiously.
"I recorded what I saw and heard along the way and wrote it in a book to be passed down to future generations. It's called "Travel Notes of Huang Shigong", hahaha." Huang Shigong said excitedly.
"When you finish writing, I will definitely publish it for you." Zhao Kuo waved his hand.
"I will thank you in advance." Huang Shigong said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, we are almost reaching the mountain." At this time, a scout reported.
"It should be Helan Mountain. Let the brothers work harder and climb over the mountain and we will camp on the spot." Zhao Kuo said loudly.
