"Don't be pretentious. The old man just reprimanded you a few words, do you want to give the old man a charge of small temperament and retaliation? If it makes sense, the old man will not pursue it. If you talk nonsense, you can't tell the old man to really give you small shoes to wear. If you don't say it, you're against the old man. Yang Jun shouted.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and was speechless, there was really no way to have such a boss. Yang Junrong has been a horse for half his life, and his temperament is as fierce as fire, and dealing with him is really a science.
"The lower official obeys the order. Lord Yang, the main reason for the two Western Xia centrifugations mentioned by Xia Guan before is that the imperial court should make changes as soon as possible. Xia Guan believed that the imperial court should focus on changing the status quo of the Western Xia tribes after the recovery of Western Xia. The first thing to solve is their survival. The imperial court should allocate money and grain to provide relief subsidies to the Western Xia, and should send officials to organize them to reclaim acres of land and build water conservancy according to the practice of the Central Plains. Solving the problem of livelihood, as long as there is no need for food and clothing, the matter is half the battle. After that, the problem of assimilating them will be solved. Cang Liao knows etiquette and doesn't let them be fed and clothed, and don't talk about the rest of the matter. β
Yang Jun nodded and said: "It makes sense, the court's grace and the people's peace of mind will indeed solve many problems." β
Lin Jue said: "Yes, but it's not enough. Aliens are aliens after all, and to be completely changed, they must be transformed and assimilated. Just as adults do, move the party to the young. Children are raised in the hinterland of the Central Plains, which is the means of assimilation. But it's okay for children, but it's not okay for adults, so you have to be more patient and do more. A variety of tools can be implemented on the basis of improving livelihoods. It is necessary to build cities as dwellings, change their way of life, and change their dwellings from water and grass to settlement. Bringing together scattered tribes makes it easier to manage and assimilate. It is necessary to set up a school to teach the people of Western Xia with the Confucianism of the Central Plains. Teach them to read the Central Plains books, write the Central Plains characters, and teach them to respect Confucianism, respect etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, and be loyal to the monarch and patriotism. Anyway, we have to move this set over. Not only that, but also to allow the people of the Central Plains to move to Western Xia, and to allow the people of Western Xia to move inward. The situation of interracial and Han mixed living has been formed. In this case, our Central Plains culture will subtly affect all aspects of their lives. It is necessary to encourage the Han people and the party people to marry and make good friends, and to integrate and blend to the greatest extent, which will produce a faster assimilation effect. There is no need to worry about the people of our Central Plains being assimilated by them, the customs and concepts of our Central Plains are the most broad, profound and advanced culture, which is eclectic and inclusive, and will never be assimilated by backward foreign races. In addition to these means, of course, they must be supplemented by high-pressure repetition. Because there must be some party members who are unwilling to accept it, of course, these people cannot be soft-hearted, and they will be killed when they should be killed, without mercy, so as to serve as a warning and deterrent. All in all, all kinds of means must be used, both soft and hard, rigid and soft. Maybe it won't go well at first, and there will be constant skirmishes, but as long as you work hard for a long time, step by step, within three generations, the party and our Han people will be integrated, and it will be difficult to distinguish from the outside and the heart. β
Lin Jue talked eloquently, and said so many words in one breath, only to hear Yang Jun dumbfounded and surprised. He had to admit that the young man in front of him was extremely talented and thoughtful, and the things he said were both novel and penetrating, and each of them was extremely targeted. If he had done what he had done, the result would not have been too bad. Yang Jun was impressed by Lin Jue again.
"Amazing, amazing. Among the younger generation I have met, you Lin Jue surprised me the most. Are these ideas really your own? It's a real surprise. How old are you, how can you have such a deep insight? Yang Jun muttered.
Lin Jue smiled and said, "My lord, these are the conclusions I came to when I discussed and pondered this matter with a friend. It's not my own idea, but my friend and I think it's a common idea. β
"Oh? Your friend? He must have been a talented person. I don't know what his official position is, and what his surname is? Do you know the old man? Yang Jun asked.
"Your Excellency must know him, his name is Yang Xiu, and he is now serving in the Criminal Department of Kaifeng Mansion." Lin Juedao.
What Lin Jue said was not a lie, when he was in the storytelling office of the Chongzheng Palace, he and Yang Xiu had a discussion about this matter. Yang Xiu did put forward the idea of cultural assimilation. Part of what Lin Jue said was Yang Xiu's thoughts. It's just that Yang Xiu's ideas are a little naΓ―ve and taken for granted, and what Lin Jue proposes is more practical and complete.
"Yang Xiu? Who's that? Does the old man know him? Why is the old man not impressed? How could such a knowledgeable person not be famous in the court? Yang Jun frowned and thought.
Lin Jue was stunned, it turned out that Yang Jun had already forgotten about Yang Xiu. At that time, Yang Xiu wrote a policy criticizing the harm of "Extinction Order", and also satirized Yang Jun, so he offended Yang Jun. After that, although he was the first in high school, he failed to be promoted for more than ten years in the storytelling public room of Chongzheng Palace, and almost half of his life was ruined in the hands of Yang Jun. However, this initiator can't think of this person whose fate has been controlled by him at this moment. This is probably the sorrow of the little people. In the eyes of the superiors, you are just as nameless as an ant, even if you are controlled by him and suffer greatly, others have forgotten who you are.
Lin Jue has no intention of exposing the festival in it, forget it, forget it, remember it instead of a good thing.
"This friend of mine is very low-key, and it is understandable that adults don't know him. I just thought you knew him. β
"Oh. Another day, you will bring him to meet the old man, such a person, I want to meet him. Yang Jun said casually. Soon he frowned again and said, "However, although what you said is quite reasonable, it has a big drawback. I don't know if you realize it. β
Lin Jue said: "Did you say that it took too long and required to invest huge financial and material resources? β
Yang Jun nodded and said, "It seems that you yourself are aware of it." Are you talking about three generations? I heard you right. That's forty or fifty years. Doing this for so long? Don't you think it's too long? The manpower, material resources and various costs invested are also huge. Do you think it's feasible? β
Lin Jue laughed and said, "Forty or fifty years old? It has been nearly ninety years since the Western Xia returned to the Great Zhou, and if the layout plan had been planned early and the assimilation policy had been implemented, it would have been peaceful for a long time, and there would no longer be these disturbances later. The importance of the location of the land of Western Xia is well known. The return of Western Xia not only relieved the worries of the northwest, but also made my Great Zhou no longer lack good horses, so that my Great Zhou army was no longer afraid of the iron cavalry of the Liao people in the north. The reason why the Yanyun Alliance, which has been good with the Liao people for a hundred years, can be signed is not because the Liao people know that they have no hope of coveting our Great Zhou, so they are willing to make an alliance. Before, when I was short of horses in Da Zhou, and the infantry army was defeated by the Liao iron cavalry, were they willing to sit down and talk about peace? It's weird. β
Yang Jun nodded slowly, indeed, the reason why he wanted to recover Western Xia and stabilize Western Xia at any cost was precisely because of the important position of Western Xia. The stability of the northwest and the need to solve the problem of the land of the Great Zhou Horse Breeding. Otherwise, Da Zhou will always be suppressed by the northern cavalry, passively beaten, and it will be difficult to straighten his waist. After the Western Xia was captured, the entire strategic pattern changed greatly, and the Liao people in the north also realized that their advantage was no longer there, so they chose the strategy of peaceful coexistence.
"As for the huge amount of money and food invested, I only ask Yang Shumi, which is more than the money, food, deaths and injuries spent on several counterinsurgency campaigns in the past ninety years, and the losses caused by the Western Xia tribes attacking and harassing my hinterland state capital, killing and looting?"
Yang Jun was stunned and speechless. Yang Jun knew how much military money was spent for Western Xia. After several counterinsurgencys, the losses of the army are not counted, and the salary of the army alone is already a terrifying amount, and tens of millions have been lost. And even now, in order to maintain stability, Western Xia still has a Northwest Army of 200,000 people. Yang Jun's subordinate Yuan Zhenqian was stationed there all the year round. Every year, military expenditures and stability maintenance expenses are a large amount. Coupled with the previous raids and plunders of the border towns by the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia tribes, the losses are incalculable. The sum of this money is enough for the measures that Lin Jue said. But all this money has been spent, but there has been no change in the Western Xia, and there is no doubt that a rebellion will break out one day. Compared with the two, it is true that some of the gains outweigh the losses.
"If you had been born decades earlier and reported these opinions to the imperial court earlier, perhaps the imperial court would have adopted them. It's a pity that it's too late now. You and I are talking about this today just after the fact. Yang Jun sighed.
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "I believe that someone must have put forward a similar idea a few decades ago, my Great Zhou Dynasty has many talents, which generation does not have virtuous ministers and good looks, and smart and talented people are like carp crossing the river, what am I Lin Jue?" In fact, it's not too late to do it now, does Lord Yang think that my Great Zhou Dynasty and decades of national glory can't be continued? As long as Da Zhou is here, this problem will be solved. Instead of talking, it's better to plan ahead. However, at this time, the financial resources of the imperial court are different from those in the past, and it is even more difficult to do. But as long as you make up your mind, I think there's a lot to be done. β
Yang Jun smiled and said, "Lin Jue, do you think this set of courts will accept it?" Impossible. The court will not agree. β
Lin Jue sighed: "I understand. The common problem of the imperial court of my Great Zhou Dynasty is that they are eager for quick success, and they have far-sighted strategies but no one has settled down to plan and design. Headaches and pains, but no one thinks about how to prevent getting sick. The same is true of the court today. If you have to be seriously ill, you should take care of your body on weekdays. And most of the people who prescribe prescriptions for treatment also like to use fierce medicine, but the disease may be cured, but the body is weaker by three points, and the next serious illness strikes, but I don't know if I can hold on. β
Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, what you say seems to mean?" β
