"Today, I summoned all the ministers to discuss with them the division of the southern part of the curtain..." Liu Che clapped his hands, and immediately a eunuch came to the palace carrying a huge map of the southern part of the curtain.
Mu Nan, before today, was just an adjective.
The corresponding one is Makubei.
Munan and Mubei together formed the two legs of the Xiongnu Empire.
The southern part of the curtain is rich and warm, while the northern part of the curtain is cold and difficult.
Since the fall of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the Xia people have never ruled the grasslands. For centuries, these places have been the paradise of the Yi Di Rong people.
Today, the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and captured the Munan area, finally turning this place from an adjective into a geographical noun.
As a region, the Munan area is very vast.
From the south of the Gobi Desert, it includes the vast Ordos Plateau, Xilin Gol Grassland, and the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains, stretching for thousands of miles, with a total area equivalent to almost half of China.
When such a large piece of land fell into the hands of the Han Dynasty, how to distribute it? How to control it? This became the key to determining the success or failure of the Han Dynasty in managing the grassland.
Liu Che walked to this huge map, stared at the areas representing lakes on the map, and then turned to look at the ministers: "I have decided that all lake communities will be feudal states of the princes.
If you intend to establish a country in Munan, you can report it to Zongzheng, Dahonglu and others..."
The lake is on the grassland, which means a fixed and safe water source, and it is also a paradise.
Around the lake, even agricultural activities can be carried out.
There is no doubt that each lake group can radiate and control hundreds of miles of surrounding grasslands, monopolizing and dominating the destiny of nearby tribes.
Based on the lake as a city, you can build nodes one after another on the grassland.
These nodes are then connected to form a network.
Thus completely controlling this vast and fertile grassland!
Naturally, Liu Che would only hand over these strategic priorities to his own people.
Among the tribes in the southern part of the country, unless there is a tribe that is absolutely loyal and has a high enough degree of Chineseization, Liu Che will not easily allow them to contact and control the grassland.
but……
Although Liu Che thought about it, he wanted to keep all the good things for his own people.
However, the princes may not be willing to accept this good intention.
After all, grassland has always been synonymous with barrenness and bitter cold.
Up to now, there are no nobles or rich people in the Han Dynasty who have become rich through animal husbandry.
Since there is no money, there are no benefits, and the environment is bad, naturally, no one is willing to take the initiative to volunteer.
Liu Che himself also understood the thoughts of these scumbags. Just like Anton's grant of a kingdom, these guys just took the kingdom and threw it to their bastards, stuffed some money and resources casually, and let them go on their own.
A way to make a living.
As expected, Anton's resources suddenly exploded and the situation reversed instantly. As a result, many families immediately staged a good show.
Those direct sons and grandsons all suddenly jumped out and wanted to go to Anton to "contribute to the country." Everyone wanted to pick peaches.
All I can say is that this is the way people's hearts are.
This time, it was the same. No one among the princes was willing to go outside the Great Wall to eat sand and work hard. Everyone wanted to rest on the merits of their ancestors and the gold at home.
There was no other way, Liu Che could only call the names.
"Zhi Fang Hou... Tao Hou... Fu Yang Hou... Wu Yang Hou..." At the beginning, Liu Che directly named the four kings under his sect, without giving them a chance to object, and said directly: "Four beloved ladies
, be prepared and move to Fengmunan..."
"If you like that piece of land, come and tell me..."
"Your Majesty..." Tao Hou Liu She was so moved that he almost cried. However, he knew very well what would happen if he refused. He could only bow with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness."
…”
The other three people also bowed and said: "I respectfully obey the imperial edict..."
But in my heart, I was preparing to delay.
The feudal state of the four people, even the worst state of Zifanghou, is located in the fertile land of the Central Plains.
Now, it has to be exchanged for a barren land south of the Great Wall!
How can they be willing to do this?
Naturally, Liu Che would not give them this opportunity, and said bluntly: "You must move the seal before spring and March next year!"
Although there is no word on what will happen if this period is exceeded and the ban has not yet been transferred.
But everyone is not stupid. They can guess with their buttocks that at the very least, they will be directly expelled from the ranks of the "Four King Kongs".
Without the identity of the Four King Kongs as amulets, these scumbags can naturally guess what their fate will be!
Therefore, they had to kneel down and bow respectfully: "I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"
But inside, I was already crying.
After finishing cooking the four dregs, Liu Che looked at Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and asked: "Prime Minister, you bear the hope of the world and receive the weight of the country. Now I am expanding the land south of Mu. Please prime minister to be the first in the world!"
This is to let Zhou Yafu set an example.
The old Liu family has always had the practice of making the Cheng a role model.
For example, in history, Emperor Taizong used the excuse of "asking the Prime Minister to set an example" to drive Zhou Bo, the then Prime Minister, a senior minister, and the late Taiwei Jianghou, who held military power, back home to farm.
Therefore, although Zhou Yafu was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, he still obeyed the order and said: "I hereby obey the imperial edict!"
With the Prime Minister taking the lead and the Four Diamonds paving the way, Liu Che felt that he had proven to the world that he would definitely manage and control Munan and would never let go.
As for whether others want to follow, that is their business.
In short, although Munan is large, there are only a few fertile lands and the best pastures.
First come first served, Liu Che will not care about those who are late!
After all, the opportunity to be emperor has been given to you, and if you still don’t follow up, who is to blame?
As for animal husbandry, has it started and is it profitable?
Liu Che knew in his heart that it was more than just a head start! There was simply a lot to be done!
If the Han Dynasty in the future wanted to establish a light industrial system, it would be inseparable from the blessing of animal husbandry.
In later generations, among the manor owners in New Zealand, North America and Australia, which one was the poor?
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Liu Che looked at other areas on the map and said: "In the land of Munan, in addition to the feudal states of our Han family, there are also vast grassland areas. These places are now in chaos.
Everyone is doing their own thing, and if things go on like this, disasters will inevitably arise!"
"You, sir, are my humerus. I understand the past and present. How to control and eliminate the troubles in Munan? Please speak freely!"
In fact, to be honest, Liu Che already has some preliminary ideas and methods.
It is mainly a method summarized from the gains and losses of the Liao, Jin and Manchu Qing policies to control the grassland.
In history, the Liao, Jin and Manchu Qing Dynasties both controlled the grasslands one after another. Among them, the policies of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were the most successful.
The policy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was nothing more than walking on two legs, using interests and marriages to win over the upper-class Mongolian nobles, supplemented by the spiritual anesthesia of Lamaism and the reduction policy to control the grassland population.
In this way, the upper echelons of Mongolia, all relatives of Aisin Gioro, would only fight for the Qing Dynasty and would not resist at all, while the lower echelons were fooled by the lamas and could not find their way around. In addition, the reduction policy controlled the population.
, so that the population of each part of the grassland is controlled within a reasonable range, without causing serious burdens on the grassland ecology and environment.
The upper levels of the ministries are addicted to extravagance and wealth, while the lower levels are addicted to feudal superstition.
The population is under control and there will generally be no famine.
Therefore, until the end of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, there were no major problems in the grassland.
Especially after Kang Mazi eliminated the so-called Golden Family, his rule became more stable and he never resisted.
But the Qing Dynasty's approach is difficult to copy now.
Of course, the Han Dynasty could win over the upper echelons of various tribes in the southern part of the country and give them high-rise houses and status.
But no Lamaism came to help and anesthetize the lower levels.
Of course, Lamaism can be created without Lamaism, but the problem is that Liu Che is unwilling.
Because religion is a double-edged sword, even if you don’t see it, the Manchu emperor took advantage of the lama, but to a certain extent, the lama also brainwashed the Manchu emperor!
After all, if you want nomads to believe in a religion, you must first believe in that religion.
Therefore, the Manchu and Qing policies have been passed.
As for the policies of Liao and Jin, it is even more undesirable!
The Liao and Jin Dynasties relied on high pressure and exploitation to control the grasslands.
High pressure and exploitation can only be stable for a while, but cannot be stable for a lifetime.
Moreover, Munan is not a colony, Liu Che intends to run it as a native territory.
High-pressure rule and cruel exploitation will only create enemies.
But no matter what, the success or failure of these three gave Liu Che some ideas and inspiration.
First of all, as before, we must first distinguish between friends and foes.
Once you have clearly distinguished your enemies from your friends, you will know who to win over and whom to suppress.
As long as you know this, then complex problems will become simpler!
What is the biggest problem on the grassland?
Unfair distribution of resources!
For the Han Dynasty, what was the biggest obstacle to stabilizing and strengthening the rule of Mu Nan?
The answer is those nobles and leaders who have control of tribal resources!
A large tribe can have hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of livestock and a population of tens of thousands.
The top leaders of the tribe can whip and humiliate at will, and even decide the life, death and freedom of the herdsmen.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance!
Liu Che felt that those lower-level herdsmen must have their own livestock, their own houses, their own families, and the power to decide their own affairs.
But the tribe is like a big mountain, suppressing them so that they dare not object.
And these large tribes coerce these ignorant herdsmen to gain power.
If that's the case, it's easy to handle!
Free the herdsmen and dismember large tribes.
To put it simply, it means allocating livestock to each household and assigning output to each town.
Dismember large tribes into settled herders based on family units.
As long as this can be achieved, Mu Nan's rule will be as stable as Mount Tai.
After all, a large tribe may still resist and have the power to resist.
But why should a small herdsman who had no one to rely on and at most some help from his neighbors say no to the government and the Han Dynasty?
As for this policy, Liu Che felt that the herdsmen in various tribes in the southern part of the country would definitely welcome it and would definitely accept it.
This is just like in China, when Liu Che wanted to grant land.
Which farmer doesn’t support it? Which farmer doesn’t support it?
What’s even more interesting is that this policy is also in line with the national policy of the Han Dynasty, the national policy of the Han Dynasty, and the ancestral system of powerful families must die!
Since Liu Bang, the emperors of all dynasties have been persistent and tireless in their pursuit of dismembering and dismantling the local extended families and extended families.
A man with a small family and five households managing a hundred fields is the ideal social model.
Specifically on the grassland, Liu Che felt that by changing just two words, one man and five people could herd hundreds of animals.
However, if he wants to achieve this goal, Liu Che feels that he may have to go to war!
Perhaps, a large number of field troops will have to be mobilized to clear and clean the area in Makunan.
Anyone who refuses to obey, dares to resist, or disobeys orders will be beaten to death!
At the same time, it is also necessary to have a smart, capable and efficient team of civil servants to cooperate and coordinate, establish settlements in various parts of Munan, register and register the herders, and establish reliable and stable grassroots organizations.
………………………………
Naturally, Liu Che's thoughts and ideas could not be guessed by the officials.
But this did not prevent them from trying to figure out what Liu Che meant.
Kunxie, Gongsun of Dahonglu, was the first to say: "Your Majesty, I think that we can use a gentle policy to confer titles to the heads of various tribes, honor them with titles, honor them with money and silk, and give them women..."
This is an old routine, and it is also a foolish move that has been proven by history.
Liu Che just rejected it as soon as he heard it, shook his head and said: "If I grant various ministries with mercy and ennoble them as princes, how can I see the world's meritorious soldiers and the heroic heroes of the Han Dynasty who fought bloody battles?"
When the princes and generals heard this, they stopped doing anything.
They all looked at Gongsun Kunxie angrily.
After all, they tied their heads to their waists and worked hard to get to where they are now. Now, a group of barbarians are still enemies in the past, and they can be named marquis and generals without any merit.
Who can bear this?
Wouldn’t it mean that those who fight are worse than those who surrender?
As for the military, there are naturally ten thousand reluctances.
Even civil servants do not agree with this method!
The reason is simple: in the eyes of the arrogant scholar-bureaucrats, the chiefs of Yi and Di are nothing. How dare they ride on their heads to show off their power?
Not to mention, these scum are just a bunch of miscellaneous tribes that even the Huns despise!
When Gongsun Kunxie saw something was wrong, he immediately shrank, knelt on the ground, and said: "I am ignorant and ignorant of righteousness, and I have made false statements. Please forgive me for your sins!"
Zongzheng and Liu Jing also came out to pay homage: "Your Majesty, I foolishly thought that it would be better to use the strategy of divide and rule..."
This is typical bureaucratic thinking. If this matter is so troublesome, it is better to put it aside and let each ministry deal with it on its own. The Han Dynasty will watch on the sidelines first, and then slowly think of solutions.
Therefore, Liu Che did not let him finish, but interrupted him and said: "What Zong Zheng said is quite inappropriate! Since I am the king of the world and the master of the world, how can I just sit back and watch this?"
When Zongzheng and Liu Jing heard this, he also shrank and quickly kowtowed: "I am ignorant, I am stupid..."
Later, Zhi Du and Chao Cuo also proposed some methods, but they were all rejected by Liu Che. By this time, even a fool knew that the emperor had his own ideas.
So, all the ministers collectively worshiped: "I am ignorant, and my talents are not as good as your Majesty's. In case, your Majesty, please make it clear..."
