When Liu Yu saw Xun Song's eyes, he thought it was an unknown speculation about his future.
He didn't expect the old father-in-law to look at his son-in-law.
Well, the concubine's father is at most a relative, not a father-in-law.
Liu Yu's only real father-in-law was Wang Jun, who had died in Bingzhou.
"I called you here because I want to appoint you as the governor of Yizhou to replace Xi Jian to manage Yizhou and appease the Han people."
Liu Yu said slowly.
When Xun Song heard that this was indeed the case, he immediately felt at ease.
He tried hard to calm down the excitement in his heart and thanked her.
"My talent and virtue are shallow, I'm afraid I won't be qualified for the job!"
Liu Yu smiled lightly, this kind of refusal was just a common practice in officialdom.
However, he was in no mood to play this game with these people.
"Okay, Xun Qing, don't refuse. I'm not a scholar and I don't like these tunes."
"I only know that you come from a famous family, and you were once a leading general of the former Jin Dynasty. You are capable of both civil and military skills, so you are most suitable for the garrison of Yizhou."
Hearing Liu Yu's words, Xun Song felt hot in his heart.
The name of the Xun family in Yingchuan is really a gift from heaven that I will never get enough of in my life.
"I will definitely fulfill my mission and comfort Yizhou for Your Majesty, so that all the Han and Yi people under my rule will be happy!"
Xun Song was also a cheerful person, and he immediately agreed without any pretense.
However, his words were not affirmed by Liu Yu.
"Hey, Xun Qing, I asked you to be the governor of Yizhou, not to do anything for Han Yi's happiness." Liu Yu said.
"I am stupid, please enlighten me!" Xun Song immediately realized the mystery behind his words.
"After nearly a hundred years of war and famine, the Han people in Yizhou have lost almost half of their people. The Di Qiang Yi people are numerous in various tribes and almost account for the majority in several counties."
Liu Yu stood up, paced back and forth, and continued slowly.
"I asked you to go to Yizhou in order to appease the Han people. You must implement strict education on the Di and Qiang tribes and never encourage their customs again!"
Hearing this, Xun Song immediately became confused.
He knew that Liu Yu's "Lun on Migration to the Rong" written by his master Liu Yu at that time was very wary of the various tribes of Yi and Di.
Not only did the tribes of the Yi Di Hu people who originally moved inland move out of the border and resettle, but they also allowed each tribe to organize households and unite the people, reducing the power of the original tribal leaders to gather.
"Your Majesty, how should I educate that minister?" Xun Song asked.
"Education, of course, means convincing people with virtue!"
"Convince others with virtue?"
"Yes, it is to convince people with virtue. I heard that the leaders of the Di Qiang tribes are cruel and cunning, and their people must live in dire straits. Your duty is to educate the Di Qiang leaders to obey the law and not to kill the people without permission. , they are not only members of the tribe, but also my people."
When Xun Song heard this, he knew that this matter was not simple.
Each tribe of Di Qiang implemented a cruel system of slave tribesmen, and the leaders of each tribe had supreme power over the tribesmen.
Not to mention forcing them to rebel, even if they were asked to die on their own, that was only natural.
If Xun Song, the governor of Yizhou, restrained their power, it would be a disguised deprivation of the control rights of the leaders of various ministries.
Without the power of life and death, how can the leaders of various tribes give orders to their tribesmen?
Once something happens, all the slaves and tribesmen will go to the imperial government, so what use are their leaders?
"Your Majesty, Yizhou has just been pacified. If we continue to be so radical, I'm afraid there will be another Di and Qiang rebellion."
Xun Song felt that this matter could not be agreed to easily, and the problem must be brought out.
Yizhou is a closed area. Once the Di and Qiang are in chaos again, the Han army outside will not have time to provide support.
If you don't pay attention, your life as the governor of Yizhou may be in danger.
"Radical? Haha, this is still not radical!"
Liu Yu smiled lightly.
He took out a note on the desk and handed it to Xun Song.
Xun Song took it respectfully and then looked at it quickly.
He saw that this was an outline of the division of Yizhou into the Di Qiang Yi people.
Xun Song became more and more nervous as he watched.
Each of the above policies not only reduces the control power of the Diqiang tribal leaders over their tribesmen, but also has the ultimate goal of completely reorganizing households into all people.
It's not a slow assimilation that takes hundreds of years or several generations, but a plan within just four or five years.
Not only that, the leaders of the Di and Qiang were also required to send their underage children to Chengdu to become imperial students, allowing them to directly enter the atmosphere of civilized ethics and culture, and gradually tear them apart from the bottom of their hearts.
The words in the manuscript were extremely straightforward and clear, and every purpose was clearly laid out in front of Xun Song's eyes.
In addition to these two most radical policies, the other ten policies such as not allowing Yi Di names to be taken anymore, not allowing father-son succession in various tribes, not allowing worship of the Hu religion in the Western Regions, etc., are all considered trivial matters.
"Your Majesty, if we really implement this, I'm afraid there will be chaos in Yizhou." Xun Song sighed and said.
"The general situation in the world is already like this, and I am not afraid of chaos."
Liu Yu didn't show any concern on his face.
"If there is really a big chaos, then we will kill as many people as there are people making trouble."
"Kill them until they are willing to obey my teachings and accept my teachings of persuading others with virtue. That is the end."
Xun Song has completely understood.
The so-called "conquering people with virtue" for the warrior emperor in front of him means that he kills all the Yi and Di tribes and convinces them, and then teaches "virtue" with a bloody butcher knife.
"Can Yizhou have so many soldiers and horses?" Xun Song asked.
As a general who had fought against the Xiongnu, Jiehu, and rebels, Xun Song really had no fear of the Di and Qiang tribes.
Of course, the premise is that you have enough soldiers and horses.
"Yizhou will still have at least 50,000 soldiers and horses in the future, most of them are military soldiers. Although the land is a bit tight, fortunately, Chengdu, the land of abundance, has abundant products and is not much different from the Central Plains soldiers." Liu Yu said.
According to the number of 50,000 soldiers, the land in Yizhou is actually not sufficient.
After all, the best areas of Yizhou are near Chengdu.
"Fifty thousand army soldiers are quite a lot, but it will take at least two years to form an army and two years to organize and train. If the Di and Qiang tribes break into chaos in the meantime, what should we do?" Xun Song was thinking in his mind.
You must not be easily put in danger just because of your position as the governor of Yizhou.
"Haha, Xun Qing is quite calculating."
Liu Yu smiled and nodded.
Indeed, as Xun Song said, when he took office, everything would start again.
Today, the Han army in Yizhou can only leave 10,000 troops and horses at most, and the remaining troops must return to Guanzhong or the Central Plains.
This is the inconvenience of the military soldiers.
These soldiers are all small landowners with permanent property, and they all care about their family property.
It is different from ordinary recruitment.
As a recruited soldier who is paid to work, as long as the salary is enough, there is no problem even if he settles down in Yizhou, let alone stay in Yizhou permanently.
"Don't worry, I've already helped you get rid of half of the powerful Di Qiang in Yizhou." Liu Yu said slowly.
"What? Half of it was removed?" Xun Song was also surprised.
"I'm talking about the strong ones, half of them have been removed, not half of the total number."
Liu Yu continued.
"Xi Jian reported that Gou Xi, who is going south, has opened the Southwest Yi Road, and the traffic with Ningzhou will be restored."
"There are many fertile lands going south. I have ordered Gou Xi to select some Di Qiang to go south to conquer. This can be regarded as reducing the number of unrest in Yizhou."
Liu Yu had previously arranged for people to lobby Ningzhou, and he quickly achieved his goal.
The Ningzhou Governor's Department was actually the Nanzhong area of the former Shu Han Dynasty.
After Zhuge Liang pacified the Nanzhong area, the successors of the Wei and Jin Dynasties established the Ningzhou Governor's Department to facilitate the administration of the area.
In the past, there was great turmoil in the Central Plains, and the Jingxiang area was also in turmoil. Even in Ningzhou, far in the southwest, the Baipu barbarians frequently caused chaos.
The Jin Dynasty was too overwhelmed to take care of themselves and could not send out any soldiers to rescue them. In the end, they had to rely on local officials and soldiers to save themselves.
Now Liu Yu sent people to lure him, and the local Han powerful people joined him one after another, and even forced the Ningzhou governor appointed by the Jin Dynasty to sign and flee.
"With the opening of the southwestern barbarian road, not only will there be a trade route for transporting body poisons, but there will also be a large number of Baipu barbarians to conquer."
"Aren't those Di Qiang all full of martial virtue? Then let them conquer the hundreds of barbarians in the deep mountains on behalf of the Han."
After hearing Liu Yu's words, Xun Song suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced.
If they went south to Ningzhou and took away a large number of Di and Qiang tribesmen, then those who stayed in Yizhou would basically be people without great ambitions.
To deal with these people, you only need to wipe the sword in your hand to make it shine, and then it won't be a big problem.
If they really had the courage and were not afraid of death, they might have followed Gou Xi's army south to Ningzhou.
Liu Yu was convinced of this.
The Ningzhou Governor's Department was the Yunnan Valley area in later generations.
Although there are many deep mountains and old forests now, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is like spring all year round, and it is an unimaginably good place for the Di and Qiang tribes in Longshang, Western Xinjiang.
Anyway, these Diqiang tribes can not only herd cattle, but also farm.
As long as you arrive in Ningzhou and kill a group of local barbarians, you can occupy a large area of land and become new masters.
Ningzhou is too far away. For Liu Yu, it doesn't matter who takes over, whether it's the Baipu people or the Diqiang people.
In fact, it is a good thing that the Diqiang people with a higher degree of Chinese culture will replace the more backward Baipu people.
It can definitely improve the progress of local Chineseization by a hundred years!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. If this is the case, I will have confidence that whether it is the Diqiang turmoil or the tyrannical evil, they can be resolved one by one!"
Xun Song re-estimated the strength of the Di and Qiang tribes in Yizhou and felt that they were still within his control.
"Not only that, I have also set up a troop of troops in Liangzhou, which can support the south of Jianmen at any time. Although these troops are stationed in Hanzhong, they are also at your disposal."
As an important node connecting Yizhou and Guanzhong, Liu Yu set up the Liangzhou Governor's Department in Hanzhong.
Not only did it play the role of monitoring and supporting Yizhou, it was also one of Liu Yu's next steps to transform a large state into a small one.
Until late at night.
Only then did Liu Yu and Xun Song sort out all the major and minor matters in Yizhou.
After basically taking care of the important matters, Liu Yu finally spoke.
