"The Yinshan Mountains in the north of the Hetao block the cold air from the south, and the river in the south blocks the erosion of the desert. The soil is fertile and the water is sufficient, making it suitable for farming and grazing. I feel that in addition to developing agriculture, animal husbandry cannot be given up. The two complement each other. Both are indispensable," said farmer Xu Lin.
One characteristic of all schools of thought is that after they think something else is good, they will claim it as their own. The typical example is Confucianism. The six arts of the gentleman were forcibly transformed into the six arts of Confucianism.
Farmers are no exception. In the past, apart from thinking, farmers mainly studied how to cultivate land and increase food production. Animal husbandry is now beginning to be classified into the category of farmers.
"The Xiongnu have been destroyed. Large pastures can be planned in the north and south of Yinshan. It is up to you farmers to select the sites." Xunzi looked at Xu Lin and said.
The implication is that there are open spaces everywhere here. As long as there are enough people, you can allocate as much territory as you want.
"Okay." Xu Lin nodded.
"The second thing is to build a city. There are too few cities in the Hetao. Each city is hundreds of miles apart. There are no roads in the middle, making communication difficult. We must choose a site to build a city as soon as possible, build roads, connect various places, and help With the development of the Hetao, materials can be better transported to the mainland." Xunzi continued.
"I will be responsible for selecting a site to build the city, but I need a large number of prisoners." Gongsun Long said.
"Together with Mr. Zibing and I, city construction and road construction are inseparable." Wei Qi said, "In fact, we can also use water transportation. The water flow here is gentle and the river runs from east to west, north and south. Water transportation is more convenient and safer than land transportation."
Xunzi was stunned for a moment. As a native of the north, it was indeed difficult to think of using water transportation. After Wei Qi reminded him, he suddenly realized that from Wuyuan, you can go all the way east along the river, and then go northeast from the Dahei River to Yunzhong. Much faster than traveling by land.
"I will write it down." Xunzi nodded. "The third matter is the handling of He Zong, Lou Fan, Lin Hu and other Rong Di."
After the Zhao State defeated the Huns, they demoted all the captured soldiers into slaves. Except for the ministers who gave the soldiers rewards, the rest were all used as free labor to contribute to the construction of the Zhao State. However, He, who had surrendered to the Zhao State earlier, was Zong, Lou Fan, Lin Hu and some small branches have not been dealt with.
"What's your opinion, Your Majesty?" Wei Qi asked. The key to this matter was not Rong Di, but Zhao Kuo's attitude.
"The king's meaning is very clear. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Either they will become my Zhao people forever. Or they will disappear forever." Han Fei said coldly. After following Zhao Kuo for so long, he still didn't know what Zhao Kuo was thinking, not to mention that Zhao Kuo didn't hide his inner thoughts at all.
"Let them choose for themselves. If they are willing to move to the inland, we, the Zhao State, will allocate land. If they want to continue living here, they can continue to live here. Whether they are grazing or farming, they will be included in the household registration. Everything is the same as that of the Zhao people. Everyone The tribes are managed and educated by the officials stationed in our country, Zhao."
"At the same time, we encourage He Zong, Lin Hu, and Lou Fan to intermarry with our Zhao people. When our Zhao country completes the immigration, it will be twenty years at most, and the Zhao country will no longer have the He Zong, Lin Hu, and Lou Fan tribes." Wei Qi said .
If they had their own written language, Zhao would still need to spend some effort, but the three tribes did not even have writing, and their language was close to the language of Zhao. They had no ability to resist in the face of the crushing pressure of high civilization. ….
"Does this mean that we must be included in the management of Zhao State in the future?" Lin Hujun asked after receiving the news.
"Yes, that's for sure. You are free to choose the rest." Xunzi nodded, "All the conditions are here. Lin Hujun, Lou Fanjun, and He Zongjun can take a look at it slowly. If you have any questions, you can ask. "
Lin Hujun flipped through it casually and closed it. "I can't read, so I won't read it. Let's just ask directly. How are we, the three of Zhao, going to arrange it?"
"As the same king, I can continue to lead your tribe." Xunzi said.
"Then can we join the army?" He Zongjun asked.
"After having household registration, everyone can join the army. However, the assessment in our Zhao country is very strict and the training is very hard. Most people cannot persist. Of course, the treatment is also very good. As long as it is a professional army, one meal of meat every day is indispensable
Yes, and there is food and salary every month. As for the three leaders, if they are willing to join the army, our country, Zhao, can provide the position of deputy army commander. Xunzi said.
"I want to join the army." He Zongjun said loudly immediately.
"You don't care about He Zong anymore?" Lin Hujun and Lou Fanjun looked at him in surprise.
"Zhao will naturally arrange for people to manage it. I'm going to perform meritorious service on the battlefield." He Zongjun hummed.
Xunzi glanced at He Zongjun in surprise. He didn't know whether this reckless man did it by mistake or on purpose.
If the State of Zhao wants to integrate the three tribes, it cannot avoid the monarchs of the three tribes. It can be said that the end of the integration is to abolish the three monarchs. And He Zongjun was the first to choose to completely let go and hand over He Zong to the State of Zhao. It seemed that he had lost a lot of power. In fact, he had to let go of these things sooner or later, and letting go in advance could also gain invisible benefits. In order to set an example, Zhao Guo would naturally reciprocate the favor and open the door for him.
"Okay, I will report it to the king." Xunzi nodded and looked at Lou Fanjun and Lin Hujun.
"Let's think about it again." The two said awkwardly.
While Xunzi, Gongsun Long and others were planning the development of the Hetao, Zhao Kuo led 50,000 elite Zhao troops southward along the river.
Under the scorching sun, the slender team drew a long line on the ground. The yellow sand rolled on both sides, the heat wave steamed, and even the snow lions drooped their ears listlessly. Except for vegetation growing near the Yellow River, there was only yellow sand left in other places.
"I have never thought before that there is really only a thin line between the river and the desert. In front of me is the endless yellow sand, and under my feet is the river flowing quietly." Li Fu said with emotion.
"It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books." Huang Shigong was lying on his horse, holding a brush in his hand and not knowing what he was writing.
"What is Huang Qing writing?" Zhao Kuo asked curiously.
"I recorded what I saw and heard along the way and wrote it in a book to be passed down to future generations. It's called "Travel Notes of Huang Shigong", hahaha." Huang Shigong said excitedly.
"When you finish writing, I will definitely publish it for you." Zhao Kuo waved his hand.
"I will thank you in advance." Huang Shigong said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, we are almost reaching the mountain." At this time, a scout reported.
"It should be Helan Mountain. Let the brothers work harder. We can camp on the spot after crossing the mountain." Zhao Kuo said loudly.
