"Your Majesty, I have invited a total of twenty-three people. They have all arrived in Handan and no one has declined." Kong Chuan said proudly.
This is the strength of the Kong family!
"Where are you here?" Zhao Kuo looked at Liu Ping again.
For some old monsters in the mountains, the Kong family's reputation is greater than that of the Zhao family, but for most normal people, the Zhao family's reputation is far greater than that of the Kong family.
"Except for Qin State's Shu County Li Bing who has not yet arrived, everyone else has arrived in Handan." Liu Ping said.
Zhao Kuo nodded. Li Bing just wanted to try it on a whim to see if he could dig it out. He had no hope in the first place.
After all, Li Bing was also the governor of a county in the Qin State. He existed like a feudal official and was not a minor official.
"Let's make arrangements. I will host a banquet in the evening to welcome everyone." Zhao Kuo said to the eunuch on the side.
By the way, Zhao Kuo later learned that not all the eunuchs these days were expelled. Many of them were selected from good families, just like bodyguards.
However, the eunuchs in the harem were all castrated, and they were no different from the later eunuchs.
"No." The eunuch said respectfully.
"Is there anything else?" Zhao Kuo looked around.
"Your Majesty." Xunzi stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I suggest that some of the academy places be allocated to the Loufan, Linhu, Dai and other clans."
"Since King Wuling, Loufan, Linhu and other tribes have returned to Zhao for decades. King Wuling made Zhao people wear Hu clothes and wear He crowns, which to a certain extent weakened the contradiction between Zhao people and Hu people. But in essence, Zhao people and Hu people are still distinct."
"Previously, our Zhao State had been fighting for years and was unable to care about the northern border. Loufan and other Hu people joined forces with the Huns to plunder our Zhao State's borders and invaded most of our Hetao. They have not been able to fully recover it so far. It can be seen that the Hu people are not convinced and do not know how to recover. Enyi is just afraid of the strength of Zhao State so he surrendered to Zhao State."
“I think that we can invite some of the descendants of the Hu people who are close to our Zhao country to join the academy, so that they can learn our Zhao country’s writing and speak our Zhao country’s language, and then send them back to educate their tribesmen, so that the Hu people can slowly join our Zhao country. "
After Zhao Wuling, king of Hufu, rode and shot, he carried out reforms while wooing Loufan Linhu and other tribal leaders. He relied on the method of wooing one faction to suppress the other, and continued to encroach on the Hu people.
Lou Huan, Lou Chang and others all came from Loufan, and it was at that time that they took refuge in Zhao.
After annexing Zhongshan, King Zhao Wuling concentrated all the power of Zhao State to annex Loufan and Linhu, and established Yunzhong, Yanmen and Dai counties.
However, King Zhao Wuling died before he had time to deal with the ethnic conflicts. Although King Zhao Huiwen also took some measures afterwards, they were far behind King Zhao Wuling.
"Xunzi's method is too slow. Your Majesty, I think that as long as we cut off its customs, destroy its language, burn its ancestral temples, destroy its residences, move away from its ancestral land, and change our surname in Zhao, in less than twenty years, there will be no more Zhao. Hu people. This method can be solved once and for all, and there will be no future troubles." Tian Dan clasped his fists and said with murderous intent.
"Although this method is effective quickly, it will take twenty years. During this period, it will continue to contain part of the power of Zhao State." Xunzi shook his head.
"I heard that in order to govern Bashu, the Qin State granted the king of Bashu a title of nobility, reduced the taxes he paid, and vigorously immigrated to Bashu and Shu. It encouraged the king of Bashu to marry Qin girls, and the Qin garrison soldiers who were exiled married the girls of Bashu. female."
"It is also stipulated that as long as one of the parents is from Qin, the remaining child will be from Qin. Only if both parents are from Ba or Shu, the child will be from Bashu. Now decades have passed, the real Bashu people There are fewer and fewer people in Qin, and there are more and more people in Qin. I think that our country, Zhao, can follow the example of Qin." Lin Xiangru said.
"Qin State still has this rule!" Zhao Kuo was surprised. In comparison, the system of Qin was at least a dozen steps ahead of the system of later generations. He not only regained the hearts of the Bashu tribes with gentle tactics, but also quietly assimilated the Bashu people into Qin people.
Let's look at a certain system, using a little favor in exchange for... Well, let's not mention it.
"No wonder the territory of China has grown in size and size over the past two thousand years, but the territory of the Qin Dynasty has always been the basic base. I'm afraid it is inseparable from this policy." Zhao Kuo thought in his mind.
"What was the previous system like in our country of Zhao?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"The State of Zhao did not have much control over the Hu people before. They managed it by themselves. We only collected cattle, sheep, horses and furs as taxes." Chulong said.
"No household registration?" Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru.
"No." Lin Xiangru shook his head.
"Registration of household registration will begin immediately. All persons must be registered. Whether they are Zhao people or Hu people, those who dare to resist will be demoted as slaves and sent to Taiyuan to dig coal." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
"No." Lin Xiangru said with a shiver in his heart and cupped his hands.
"I would like to pardon non-important criminals and some slaves, move them to the three counties in northern Xinjiang, and encourage intermarriage between Zhao and Hu people. At the same time, I would like to select some Hu people tribes who are close to our Zhao country, grant them places, and invite their children to enter our Handan Academy. Study. In addition, move about a third of the Hu tribe into the interior of our Zhao country and give them farmland so that they can feel the prosperity of our Zhao country."
Zhao Kuo planned to use a multi-pronged approach to win over, suppress and educate at the same time, dividing the Hu people into several parts so that they could not be united together, and then gradually assimilated.
The State of Zhao had more advantages facing the Hu people than the State of Qin faced the people of Bashu. As long as the people of Bashu hid in the mountains, Qin would not be able to find them.
But no matter where the Hu people ran, as long as they did not cross the Yin Mountains, Zhao would be able to find them.
"No." Everyone said with fists in their hands.
…
Luo Fu is the leader of the Aries tribe. He has just bought ten bags of snow salt from Jiuyuan City and returned to the tribe. It only costs one hundred yuan per stone. He has never bought such cheap and white salt.
I heard from the salt seller that it was brought from a distant seaside. Luo Fu had never been to the seaside and didn't understand why there was salt on the seaside. It might be the same as the salt lake of the Quyan tribe in the south.
He learned from the merchants that such salt had been sold for several months. He was the last to know that the current king of Zhao had stipulated that the price of salt should not exceed one hundred yuan per stone. Anyone who violated the regulations would be disqualified from selling salt and their homes would be ransacked.
He didn't know whether what the businessman said was true or false. Previous experience told him that if you don't take advantage of the opportunity, it will be too late to regret it. So he bought ten full bags of snow salt in sheepskin bags at once, intending to keep it and eat it slowly. If the price of salt increased in the future, he could sell it to make some money.
There are not a few people who hold this plan, especially the Hu people in Yunzhong. The place is remote, the price of salt is usually several times that of the Central Plains, and all of it is unpurified green salt.
As for the best snow salt, even the big tribes can't buy it.
In the past few months, the salt merchants in Zhao State have made a lot of money.
However, such good times will not last long. After everyone 'stores' salt, they will not be able to sell it for a long time.
"Grandpa." As soon as Luo Fu returned to the tribe, an eight or nine-year-old child ran out of the tent and threw himself into his arms.
"Look, what grandpa bought you." Luo Fu hugged the child, grinning, took out a bone dagger from his arms, and shook it in front of the child's face.
"Bone knife! Grandpa, give it to me quickly." When the child saw the bone knife, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out to grab the bone knife.
Rover raised the bone knife high and did not let the child catch it. After doing this several times, Rover smiled with satisfaction and put the bone knife into the child's hand.
"Thank you, grandpa." The child held the bone knife tightly in his arms and ran to the side, ready to show off his new bone knife with his friends.
"Deng Deng Deng!"
At this time, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and a cavalryman quickly approached here.
