Xun Chen looked at Yuan Tan, sighed, and said nothing. If others were the Lord, they might still think about whether something would happen to him on the way back. It was obvious that Yuan Tan had never thought about such a thing.
"My lord, when the time comes, take three hundred men and three horses with you to ride back. But don't go back to the Central Plains. Go directly to the Northeast. The Yuan family in Runan has already moved there. I will write a list later. Whether you give it to the other party at that time,
, or you can discuss it with the other party." Xun Chen said calmly.
"Three hundred fine knights?" Yuan Tan looked at Xun Chen with a puzzled expression. Is it necessary to lead so many people? He himself has the protection of immortals, so even if he goes back alone, it will be nothing.
"Bring 50,000 kilograms of gold back. Although the Yuan family is the main family of the lord, it is better to keep public and private affairs separate. Three hundred war horses with one person and three riders. Each horse carries fifty kilograms of gold. The extra supplies will last for a month.
That's almost enough." Xun Chen thought for a while and said.
Although Yuan Tan was puzzled when he heard this, he still nodded and said there was no problem.
"The Slavs are very good soldiers and natural warriors. Moreover, this nation currently does not have a mature culture and only has a very simple religion of natural gods. In other words, we can absorb and assimilate them as quickly as five or six years, and as slowly as
One generation." Xun Chen thought about it and informed Yuan Tan about his and Xu You's plans.
"Well, that's good." Yuan Tan looked at Xun Chen puzzledly, not quite sure what he meant by his words.
"The number of our Juche ethnic group is not enough. The number of Slavs is about three million. If we want to stabilize the Juche ethnic group, we need at least two million of our own people. Ziyuan and I have the means to turn it into the same country as ours within ten years.
We are people of the same culture, but we can't turn them into the same species as us." Xun Chen said slowly.
Only then did Yuan Tan understand Xun Chen's thinking. This is a very important issue. The number of the dominant ethnic group determines the direction of the country to a large extent. Once the dominant ethnic group in a country does not dominate, then the country is only a few steps away from collapse.
Not far away.
The meaning of nation, language, culture, and religion itself is to make the world use weapons. The difference in language makes communication an obstacle. Culture and customs combine with blood in a broad sense to form a nation, and the collision between different customs and cultures further
It escalated into a national conflict.
Religion, as a belief, can also be considered a kind of culture. The same culture rejects different cultures, and the strong culture crushes the weak culture. This is basically the case.
A highly unified culture can create a basic cultural centripetal force for those who do not know people. When the number is very large, the cultural centripetal force formed and the naturally formed ideology will form so-called barriers with people from other different cultures.
.
The ultimate result of the social extension of human's natural group-following behavior is the so-called collective, and when the collective collides with the collective, individual behavior can really be ignored.
The current Slavs do not have writing, and the so-called culture is just the simple worship of nature by the fishing and hunting civilization. The concept of nation is only generated by seeing people who look like themselves and live the same way.
.
In essence, the Slavs were a small independent group during this period, but it was their warlike nature that brought them together. When the Romans were powerful, the result of mutual assistance was truly unified.
Culture, the Slavs were not yet evident at this time.
This is also the reason why Xun Chen and Xu You were confident that they could counter-assimilate the Slavs with their small numbers. After all, a civilization and a cultural foundation had not been fully formed. The so-called religion was just the result of simple worship of nature and personification.
Such a weak civilization, with the current level of the Han Empire, can almost easily swallow it up without much resistance from the opponent.
This is a kind of confidence that wise men like Xu You and Xun Chen, who were born in the Han Empire, have in the cultural foundation they have mastered. It is not because of the inherent inclusiveness of Han civilization, but the simplest way that a strong civilization treats a weak civilization. Crush.
Well, the current Slavic civilization is not even qualified as a weak civilization. To be precise, they are just the most elementary form of civilization, simply savages who live by fishing and hunting.
It's just that the Eastern European plains are the most fertile and vast black soil granary in the world, allowing the Slavs to have such a huge number.
But having said that, the simple civilization of the savages, who played with stone knives and axes, was able to defeat the Romans. The Slavs' combat effectiveness far exceeded the level of normal humans.
Thinking about it this way, Xun Chen understood. Xu You told him how scientific it was for the Slavs to kill tigers and bears one on one.
It can even be said that as long as Sizhao City can support the three million Slavs and allow them to drink a bowl of wine every once in a while, Xun Chen feels that he can use Chinese and Chinese characters to teach everything the Slavs teach him. Customs and habits can also become exactly the same as those of the Han Dynasty.
However, some things are not calculated in this way. Even if Xun Chen can do such a thing, he will tell Yuan Tan and let Yuan Tan find a way to attract Han people here. The reason is very simple. The old Yuan family is Han, and he, Xun Chen, is also Han. Even if they educate the Slavs to look like the Han people, in the eyes of others, the Slavs and the Han people are two completely different races.
Although people like Xun Chen and Xu You don't care about this, they must care about other people's opinions. The future of the Yuan family, whether it is the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty or the self-proclaimed barbarians who enclose the land, actually needs to make a choice now. .
Although the reality is that big fists are justified, but on the one hand, the Yuan family's current fists are not very big. On the other hand, even if the Yuan family's fists are big, the national policy formulated by Xun Chen is to follow the footsteps of the Han Empire, to accumulate resources and keep a low profile. As a human being, you must never stand out.
Therefore, even if the Slavs can be easily assimilated, Xun Chen will not let Sizhao City become a place where barbarians make up the majority. He will hold high the banner that we are Han princes, quietly develop his own strength, and coordinate with the Han Dynasty. In the same direction, Chen Zichuan was determined not to do unnecessary things before his death.
Therefore, even to avoid trouble, Sizhao City currently needs at least two million to three million Han people to join Yuan Tan's command. Even if this is likely to be targeted by the Central Plains, it is better than the Yuan family being labeled as barbarians. , and then be destroyed.
Without Qin State's Shang Yang's ability to crush the six countries after the reform, it would definitely be difficult to clean up after being labeled as a barbarian, so now I would rather die a small death and make half of the world's aristocratic families unhappy than to be dismissed because of being too strong. People are labeled as barbarians and then attack them in groups, so increasing the number of the main ethnic groups must be implemented as soon as possible.
"Well, can I ask again? How many people are needed?" Yuan Tan raised his hand to interrupt Xun Chen, who just seemed to have heard an astronomical number.
"At least two million is needed. If it's more, three million is not too little, and five million is not too much."
As well as various farm tools, necessary living supplies, etc."
"Do you think I can get so many people?" Yuan Tan wiped his cold sweat and looked at Xun Chen and said, "Do you think it is possible to do this kind of thing?"
"I didn't say it could be done right now, let alone long distances. Large-scale manpower transportation is also very difficult. The materials that need to be prepared and the number of horses and cattle used for transportation are not a few." Xun Chen reached out and took a pile of information.
He didn't take Yuan Tan's rhetorical question seriously at all.
"You also know that there is no way I can do such a thing." Yuan Tan said angrily, "If three million people are gone, how can we not be discovered? This is no longer an ordinary deception.
There are not so many people in Nanyang County who can do this."
"I didn't tell you to do it now, as long as you can achieve it in the future."
Way of thinking, there’s not much time left.”
"..." Yuan Tan watched Xun Chen flipping through the official documents, frowned slightly, and nodded after a while to express that he would try his best to solve the matter. Of course, he also said that if it couldn't be completed, Xun Chen wouldn't care.
"After arriving in the Northeast, remember to inform Yuan Jiujiu about the lack of people here. Maybe he can complete it." Xun Chen suddenly said.
Yuan Tan's eyelids twitched. He knew his uncle very well. Let's just say he was reliable. Sometimes he was very reliable. But if anything happened to Yuan Shu, even if the result was achieved, the process would make people collapse.
Yuan Shu can be said to be very dangerous.
"Don't worry, I'm ready to take the risk, you can feel free to inform General Yu." Xun Chen said calmly, Yuan Tan nodded silently, just be mentally prepared.
"Then when will I set off? Speaking of which, you should have received information about our war with Rome. Do you have any ideas?" Yuan Tan asked casually.
"Rome didn't try its best." Xun Chen said casually.
"Didn't you try your best?" Yuan Tan was silent for a while and nodded.
"There are also certain problems with their cooperation. After the Battle of Parthia is completed in the future, according to the growth rate of our army that I see now, after the opponent solves the cooperation problem, it will probably be one to two times stronger than it is now." Xun
Chen threw the things in his hands aside and said.
"Is that so?" Yuan Tan was obviously surprised when he heard this, but since this was Xun Chen's judgment, he had no doubts.
"Hey, I heard that justice has come out." Xun Chen reached out to touch the tea cup and asked in a low voice.
