The reason why the nomads started from the Zhou Dynasty, to the Qin Dynasty, to the Han Dynasty, and even to the Tang Dynasty, they were all in the idea of coming to the Central Plains to make a fortune and leaving, because of poverty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that the nomads had an overall strategic goal for the first time and began the military campaign of founding the country, and it was no longer a piece of scattered sand.

But are nomads really poor?

In a sense, if the wealth of the farming people is mainly the land, then the "land" of the nomads is the cattle and sheep.

Shi Zai, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing, who was already a general of the chariot cavalry, "...... Duxi River to Gaoque, won the first 2,300 grades, the car and livestock were harvested as halogen, and he was named the marquis, and then the south of the Xiding River was ,...... begging for mud, breaking the talisman, beheading the light and sharp pawns, and ambushing the listeners 3,71,...... There are more than 100,000 horses, cattle and sheep, and all the soldiers are returned, and 3,000 households are ......"

"There are more than 100,000 horses, cattle and sheep driven by horses", which is equivalent to bringing back the "land" of the Huns, and therefore causing the entire Huns to suffer heavy losses, and since then they have been frightened.

But the question is, where do these "lands" end up?

These cattle, horses and sheep did not give birth to calves and horses to horses, and then they multiplied on the land of China, which increased the development of animal husbandry of the Chinese nation and made China embark on a four-legged era......

On the contrary, it promoted the development of the slaughtering industry, and in addition to increasing the absorption of oil by a part of the population, it did not improve the proportion of agriculture and animal husbandry throughout the Han Dynasty.

Huaxia is farming, so it is not good at animal husbandry, so in the scientific and technological line of animal husbandry, only sheep are pointed, and horses are not pointed......

There must be a running valley, that is, the whole area of water and grass fertilizer, so that the horses can live in groups and grow in nature, so that they can really produce the war horses they need.

The Chinese people did not control the water and grassland, and the second did not control the people who raised them, so they always had a short section in their legs and feet.

"Poverty is the most terrible and pathetic force," Fei Qian said with his eyes on the market outside the camp, "because of poverty, there is nothing but one of his own cheap lives, and he is not afraid of losing at all, so being able to obtain anything by force is earned by these poor people, killing one is enough, killing two earns one...... Any law, any morality, is empty talk in the face of this absolute poverty......"

When any dynasty or any form of government changes from chaos to rule, it is not afraid that there will be too many middle classes, but that there will not be enough middle classes......

Hearing this, Ma Yan also turned his head to look at the lively market, pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "Then this is the reason why the envoy ordered that when trading, five baht must be used, and every time the transaction is made, how much must be given to the Hu people?" ”

"Hehe, yes. Most of the Hu people don't take the five baht money away, but trade as much as possible, so we don't actually need to invest a lot of five baht, but in this way, these Hu people who have come here to trade will know what the 'money' is, and then they will tell their families and their friends ......"

In fact, such a small act has a more profound meaning, Ma Yan was not able to fully understand it, and Fei Qian didn't want to talk about it, although on the surface it was nothing more than giving one or two more money, but one can make Hu people form a sense of money, and two can establish a sense of integrity in Hu people's hearts, three......

You must know that the commodity equivalent exchange thing has been bloody since the day it appeared......

The social structure of the Hu people in the Han Dynasty was very complex, as if the primitive society, the slave society and the feudal society were each taken and then integrated together to become the social structure of the Hu people......

Most of the Hu people live in tribes, and within the whole tribe, there is a form of mutual help to a certain extent, and foreign wars are also based on the tribe as the basic overall unit, and the spoils obtained from the war are also distributed within the tribe, which is very similar to the structure of primitive society.

However, the Hu people's leaders and handsome men were parasitic on the Hu people under them, and their identities were basically the same as those of slave owners, and at the same time, most of the plundered population in Han China became the appendages of the Hu people and became the slaves of the Hu people, which shows that the Hu society also contains some characteristics of the slave society.

In the upper echelon of the Hu people, it is a loose type of feudal system, the royal court is also Shan Yuting, most of which is in the center of the most abundant aquatic plants, and then divided into the left Xian Wang Court, the right Xian Wang Ting, the left and right Xian Wang are also subordinate to Shan Yuting, but enjoy independent military and political power, under the left and right Xian Wang, and the left and right Gu Li Wang, and the left and right Gu Li Wang have left and right generals and so on, so the Hu people also have some factors of feudal society.

It is precisely because of this that the complex social structure of the Hu people is very unstable, and the slightest natural and man-made disaster will produce great changes, and the division of the northern and southern Xiongnu, and even the recent murder of Qiangqu Lao Danyu by the Southern Xiongnu all illustrate this point.

"Only if you have it before, you will be afraid ......of losing it," Fei Qian looked at Ma Yan and said, "And what we are doing now is to make these Hu people feel that they have ...... it."

Why did the Hu people cry bitterly after losing Yinshan, because they first had it, and then they lost it, so the Hu people were heartbroken and miserable.

Wealth, or private property, has been constantly promoting the change and development of the whole society since the day of the emergence of primitive society, and money is the materialized manifestation of individual private property.

Ma Yan thought about it again and again, and still said, "But deal with these Hu people...... Once these Hu people are strong, won't they become a scourge? ”

Fei Qian held the spear and trembled, and found that although he could shake a spear flower a little bit, it was crooked and not very formed, and Ma Yan could shake out a round and beautiful spear flower at will.

"So the weapon must be held in the hand......"

Fei looked at the iron-making furnace that had begun to be built inside the camp, and then at the soldiers who were practicing outside the camp, and said, "The iron tools collected from Luoyang will be remelted and cast into armor blades, and these armor blades will be used on our soldiers, these are the swords and shields in our hands!" So, don't worry about whether the Hu people will be strong or not, just focus on whether we ourselves are strong enough......"

Fei Qian looked at Ma Yan and said, "Brother Chengyuan, it's not just the dead Hu people who are good Hu people, but the Hu people who can be obedient are also good people, huh...... Lianghu! ”
