In this way, it can not only continue to ensure the supply of cotton to Duan's trading company, but also make the Han people of Xixia listen to the truth and not dare to mess around.
As for most of the remaining land, Gao Zhangye had already mentioned a perfect idea in a private letter to his master: the land conferment system for military merit.
This kind of system has no longer been implemented since the Qin and Han Dynasties. The reason why Gao Zhang wanted to bring it up was that Xixia had been away from the Song Dynasty for too long.
Even if there are Han people, they have been under the rule of Xixia for hundreds of years.
In addition, there are not many Han people in Xixia, and the main body is composed of Dangxiang, Tubo and many grassland tribes.
In this case, the Song Dynasty wanted to keep this land in its hands for a long time after regaining it.
It is necessary to move the population here so that the people of the Song Dynasty can work here and start families and start businesses here.
Only when the people regard the interests here as their own, will they be willing to stay here to take root and multiply.
But the problem is that the involuntary behavior of migrating people is bound to encounter various twists and problems.
In addition, Gao Zhang also knew very well what the officials of the Song Dynasty were like, and he might continue to touch them with red eyes during the population migration and other major events.
When problems such as civil unrest arise, they will definitely be reported to the court again. It's not that the humble ministers don't work hard, it's just that they are too unruly.
Therefore, the system of conferring land for military merit is the best solution for the northwest frontier.
First of all, soldiers must be rewarded for their meritorious service, and for ordinary people, nothing is more practical than holding land in their hands.
And once these soldiers accept these lands, they will inevitably move their relatives here, or hire people to farm them. Over time, more and more Han people will take root and multiply here.
For example, in Jingyuan Fort and the entire Xishou Fort Qin Army Division, the cultivated land is not too much, but it is at least 830,000 acres.
According to the information collected, when this area was managed by the Han people, at its peak, there were 1.5 million acres of farmland.
Although most of them are dry fields, these fields alone are enough to support a population of about 100,000 people.
However, considering the impact of this incident, Gao Zhang decided to briefly mention it to his master to see what his attitude towards the matter was before deciding on the next step.

Inside Master Li's private courtyard in Fanlou, Bianliang, Tokyo.
In the attic, the iron stove exuded warm heat, and the kettle on the iron stove was bubbling.
Let the water vapor continue to float in the house, making the air in the house warm without being too dry.
The big bed, which had gone through hundreds of battles, still stood firm and steady in the room.
At this moment, the most beautiful and famous Shishi girl in Tokyo was lazily curled up on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, a pink and white arm slanted on the edge of the bed, looking so extravagant and innocent. Tempting.
But at this moment, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was wearing only a thin robe, looked like a true gentleman who was sitting calmly in his arms, or like an eminent monk who had escaped into Buddhism and whose six sense organs had been purified.
He just glanced over there, and a warm and affectionate smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Already standing in front of the book desk, he had finished grinding the ink, and then began to paint with ink towards the girl Shishi who was lazily sleeping at the moment.
Although it is the harsh winter, at this moment, the beauty is as beautiful as a flower. The temptation of sleeping lazily and showing arms and legs is really eye-catching.
Zhao Ji, an official who had entered the sage mode and did not dare to fight, was able to re-examine the scene in front of him from an artistic and aesthetic perspective.
I decided to post a picture of Begonia sleeping in spring, especially because the shape of this picture is very unique. I started to know Ms. Shishi.
The big bed that has always been firmly supported in this boudoir, official Zhao Ji also decided to draw it.
Then there is the gauze above, which can be replaced with petals, making people feel that this alluring sleeping beauty is just like lying on the bed, but having an intoxicating dream of Begonia...
It has to be said that apart from not being an emperor, Zhao Ji, an official who is absolutely number one in the art of calligraphy and painting, has great vision and aesthetics in the conception and composition of artistic creation.
Miss Shishi's long and slightly curly thick eyelashes trembled slightly, making her stunning white and rosy face even more charming.
Zhao Ji, an official who was concentrating on creating, also noticed that Miss Shishi had woken up and quickly reminded her loudly.
"Teacher, don't move. Just keep this posture and get up again after I finish painting."
Hearing that the emperor, who was the leader in the art of calligraphy and painting in the Song Dynasty, was creating works for him, the girl Shishi, who was the model, smiled sweetly and said coquettishly.
"Since Lang Jun won't let the slave family move, then the slave family won't move. Lang Jun, please draw carefully..."
Looking at the smooth and silky body of this stunning beauty, Zhao Ji, an official, felt his heart tremble, but fortunately, the feeling of emptiness below the waist allowed him to continue to maintain the appearance of a sage and continue to create art.
#####
This creation lasted from the time it was almost dusk until midnight, when the official Zhao Ji let out a sigh of relief.
I look at this masterpiece with satisfaction, and the more I look at it, the more satisfied I feel.
"Teacher, please come and have a look."
Worried that it would affect her creation, Miss Shishi remained in the same position on the bed for more than two hours and said with a plaintive look on her face.
"Mr. Lang, I'm so numb that I can't move..."
Looking at this beauty who was already numb all over from her own art, the official Zhao Ji strode towards the bed and started moving his hands quickly on his waist.
But at this moment, I heard movement outside, and an urgent voice muttered something downstairs.
The official Zhao Ji, whose interest was interrupted, slowly tied his belt and approached the door unhappily.
At this time, the sound of going upstairs came from outside the door. "Guan family, there's good news coming from Shaanxi Road for an eight-hundred-mile express."
Before Yang Jian finished speaking, he heard the movement of the door, and then saw the official with a look of surprise on his face opening the door and snatching the express report.
"The Jingyuan Fort where the Xishou Baotai Army was located in the Western Xia Dynasty was destroyed in half a day. We planned to kill more than 1,300 enemies and capture more than 8,500 enemies. We captured the chief general of the Xishou Baotai Army alive and commanded the army to lead the army. They were all stupid and captured twenty-one of their generals..."
"This, has this already destroyed the Xishou Baotai Military Division?"
The belt that had not been tightened in time had been loosened at some point, and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty just stood there obliviously, copying the victory report...
