Liaodong Chapter 3
A few days after Hurun entered the town, Liu Qun found time to hurry to meet him. This time, both parties were a little surprised by each other.
Liu Qun's surprise mainly focused on Hurun's appearance, although Liaodi is remote, there is no lack of disadvantages and influences on judging people by their appearance, such as the overlord of Liaodong, Murong Clan, many clansmen are known for their appearance and handsomeness.
Hurun, the original appearance is only decent and upright, but after being blind and disfigured, no matter how he dresses, he exudes a bad spirit, even if he ignores his conscience, he can't say that there is anything desirable in his appearance.
According to the "Wu Calendar", Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong in the old years, took a self-portrait in the mirror after being injured, and said: "The face is like this, can you still restore the meritorious work?" "Push a few great efforts, create a split, and its night pawn.
Cao Wei Xiahou was from the conquest of Lu Bu, and he hurt his eyes for the arrow, and since then he especially hates looking in the mirror, and he is even more tired of being called blind Xiahou at the time.
Therefore, after meeting and contacting, many of Liu Qun's subordinates criticized Hurun's appearance and had no long-term attitude, but Liu Qun reprimanded him with a straight face: "The eldest husband has made meritorious deeds, how can he be measurable in his appearance." Hu Dadu was fortunate to follow the British lord, not to give up because of small inferiority, and to be on the side of the town and herd, galloping talent to repay the king. This is not only the honor of Governor Hu, but also the basis for us and other Liaobian ugly people to dare to recommend themselves. People are destroyed, but the appearance, we are injured but the integrity, the saints in the sky are only talents, and the use is eclectic, which also makes the time and the virtuous can not be abandoned. ”
Liu Qun's words really hit these people with heartfelt worries, these people who are living in Liaobian, in order to survive in previous years, have more or less done some things from the expedient choice, and they really can't be called innocent. Now, even if they feel the general trend of the revival of Zhuxia, thinking of the bad deeds of the old years, they will inevitably doubt themselves and hesitate, and some people do not even dare to enter the Luomian Saint.
Hu Run didn't know that his appearance problem gave these Liaobian people a dose of reassurance, but even if he knew, it was just a slap.
However, the contact with Liu Qun surprised Hurun. Earlier, on the occasion of leaving Tianzhong, Hurun also came to the door to ask Cui Lu and other people who had returned from the south to ask for advice on Liaobian matters.
So much so that Hurun couldn't help but sigh after leaving: "These two are beautiful jade in the famine years, although they are pure and high, they are not hungry." If Liu Kun uses all such talents, the prosperous times may be romantic, and the troubled times can not be fish and meat? ”
It is based on this understanding that Hurun did not have too high expectations for Liu Qun, who still remained in Liaobian. It was also under his suggestion that the Luoyang court decided to divide the territory of Youzhou and Pingzhou, and after Liu Qun took office in Youzhou, he would no longer directly intervene in Liaobian affairs.
However, after some contact, Hurun found out that Liu Qun was not a famous family that was good at rhetoric in the general sense, and some of the suggestions put forward for Liaobian affairs were also based on reality and had something to say, which could give Hurun a lot of inspiration.
For example, on the issue of appeasing and protecting the Liaobian people, the original meaning of Hurun was that it was necessary to survey the territory, and if it was found that the Donghu Zhuyi tribe was imprisoned, enslaved, or tortured the Liaobian people, they would be severely punished, so that the Liaobian people could be sheltered under the protection of the Pingliao Metropolitan Governor's Office, and at least their personal safety and freedom could be guaranteed.
But Liu Qun has a different view on this point. Since the Pingliao Metropolitan Governor's Office has been established, it is natural to give more protection to the Liaobian people, and it is natural that the Donghuyi Department is not allowed to enslave the Zhuxia people, and if it can be implemented, it can establish a sense of pride and belonging in the minds of the Liaobian people.
However, Liu Qun put forward his own opinions on the specific practice. Hurun wants to punish such offenders with heavy punishments, which is naturally the attitude of a great power, but the situation in Liaobian is somewhat special.
The development of Liaobian is not enough, there are many barren suburbs and mountains, before and after Yongjia, a large number of people from Youji fled into Liao, so many years, how many people have entered Liao, there is no way to count.
The situation of the displaced people in Liaobian is also different from that of the young Xu overseas Chinese in the early years, who can gather in large numbers between Huaisi and Huaisi, and the barren and cold land of Liaobian is not suitable for large-scale agglomeration of people, so there are a large number of displaced people scattered in the wilderness and mountains. It is impossible to count how many of them were recruited and imprisoned by Donghu and other Yi tribes.
If the Pingliao Metropolitan Governor's Office behaved too tough and violent on this issue, it would certainly be able to deter these Yibu tribes from openly bullying and enslaving the Liaobian people.
But there are two aspects to everything, and these Yi tribes themselves must not be called good, once they are shocked by the fierceness of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, in order to avoid punishment, they will have a high chance of destroying the evidence of their crimes, that is, they will directly kill the Liaobian people who are controlled and enslaved by the tribe. In this way, the rescue of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has become a talisman for these poor homeless.
It is true that the military prestige of the Great Liang Wang Division needs to be promoted, but for the sake of the lives of those who are suffering from hardship, the application of means must also be cautious. A one-size-fits-all approach is not advisable, because Liaobian is already sparsely populated, and appeasing and accepting the Zhuxialiu people is also a common practice for those Donghu tribes to strengthen themselves, once the means are too decisive, almost all Donghu tribes will be pushed to the opposite side of Wang Shi.
Liu Qun's suggestion was to grasp the big and let go of the small, and to take a tough stance on the large Donghu tribes, and to order them to stop the encirclement and enslavement of the Liao border people as soon as possible, and to adopt military means when necessary.
For some small Donghu tribes, the posture can be softened, and even a certain benefit can be promised, allowing them to act as the eyes and ears of the beam, minions, help promote the royal government, and let them take the initiative to move closer to the metropolitan governor's mansion. It is even possible to assimilate and co-opt these small-scale Yibu through the floating population in these Yi tribes.
"Liaobian has been in famine for a long time, and it is difficult to seek urgent work on the matter of entering the treatment. Wanderers are spread here, and it is difficult to appease them quickly. Zhuhu Rumao drinks blood, but my Zhuxia people have been farming for a long time, and they were born to practice this. Although Huayi live together, if the law is used to persuade farmers to cultivate, the beneficiaries will still be mostly Liaobian streamers......"
Liu Qun has been in Liaobian for a long time, and it is not surprising that he has such insight. If you really want to carefully screen and completely separate, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the twists and turns and variables in the process are also unpredictable. However, as the main business of the people of Zhuxia, if they can vigorously reward and incentive, even if it is the same farming, the people of Zhuxia will definitely benefit more than the Hu people.
Although Liaobian is bitterly cold and the cost performance of the development of agriculture is far less than that of Hebei and other places, the status of agriculture and mulberry as the foundation of governing the people is still unshakable.
Regarding this point, not only Liu Qun has mentioned it, but also the Pingliao strategy proposed by Jin Xuangong to Hurun has also focused on these. Jin Xuangong, as the son of Murong Hao, has a deeper feeling about the rise of the Murong Department in Liaodong.
In addition to providing a far more stable and reliable harvest than fishing and hunting, the most important thing is that the population can be tied up through the land, so as to provide a stable source of soldiers.
After the profound sinicization of the Murong tribe, it gradually grew in Liaodong, and the efficiency of the mobilization of tribal forces was far higher than that of other Donghu tribes.
In fact, during the period of the Wuhu Rebellion, the only Hu force that really maintained its relatively pure nomadic habits and entered China was the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was founded by the Xianbei Tuoba Department.
The background of the Northern Wei Dynasty's entry into China was also due to the First Battle of Weishui, the collapse of the former Qin, the so-called Hu Dynasty and the chaos of the Hu Dynasty, and the serious destruction of the productive forces in the north, which provided a background basis for the southward movement of the Tuoba Department. After the Northern Wei Dynasty went south, it was also actively carrying out the Sinicization reform, which became the beginning of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Hurun's Pingliao Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was mainly focused on the military. Therefore, Liu Qun's proposals are mainly for Wen Fangzhi, the new Pingzhou assassin history. Although the Liaobian is still in a situation where the Han is weak and the Hu is strong, as long as a solid agricultural foundation can be established, it is only a matter of time before the Han people become the dominant force in the Liaobian.
However, Liu Qun did not suggest that Liaobian should also adopt the form of reclamation of tuntian to raise the army in Hebei and other places, because the natural environment of Liaobian should be even worse, and the output per mu is limited, and once the supply of military supplies is given priority, there will be few people left.
In this way, the reclamation of the land is less attractive to the Liaobian people, who are probably more willing to produce and be self-sufficient as a hermit in the absence of more favorable conditions.
Therefore, Liu Qun suggested that Pingzhou directly adopt the system of equalizing land that has been carried out in Henan and Guanzhong, so that the cultivators can enjoy their land and encourage the people to cultivate the land, so that more households can be mastered.
On the issue of naturalization, Liu Qun also put forward the concept of "women's registration", and women can also be registered as the head of the household. This is mainly for those displaced women who have been encroached upon by Zhuhu, and this part of the people can also be naturalized and divided into land, but they must be Han women as the head of the household and enjoy the right to own all family property.
When Hu Run heard this suggestion, he couldn't help but shake his head: "It's already sad that my Zhuxia lady mismatched Hu Chou, and Wang Shi is here, and he should be punished and saved, how can he allow those Hu Chou to benefit from evil!" ”
"The voice of the Metropolitan Governor is commendable. However, if the mismatch in Liaobian is not limited to one or two, if it is true that all of them should be punished, it is inevitable that the flesh and blood will be separated, and the people's feelings will be sad. Whether it's love or resentment, it's really hard to judge it by law......"
Ambition is one thing, reality is another. The situation mentioned by Liu Qun is also very common in Liaodi, where Han refugees were a vulnerable group in Liaobian, and there were many women who were invaded by the Hu people and organized families.
It is also a very difficult project to forcibly separate these families at the moment. Even if the women resented their spouses, could they break their affection for the children they had already given birth to?
Liu Qun's women's status is aimed at those women who are difficult to give up their flesh and blood affection, since their fate can no longer be changed, then they can only carry out other remedies, establish their property ownership rights through government decrees and force, and make their families a step in the integration of Huayi.
In the future, the Pingzhou Assassin Mansion will successively carry out various decrees such as Juntian and indoctrination, and the groups benefited by these decrees are naturally mainly Zhuxia people, but it is difficult for the Hu people to be completely excluded. And the registration of this Huayi combination will also become a major way for the Hu people to benefit.
However, Hurun still has reservations about this: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different!" Since Yongjia, Zhuxia has been deeply abused by Hulu, if there is really a woman who is short-sighted, obsessed with personal feelings and ignorant of righteousness, why should she save it again? As soon as this order comes out, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a fierce man in Hu Zhong who looks at my Zhuxia woman as a beautiful product, and with this, he will steal Wang Fa Huili and raise his jackal physique! ”
Of course, Hu Run's words were just angry words, and he was not angry that the Zhuxia women were invaded by the Hu people. But in terms of facts, Liu Qun's suggestion is not a good law.
It must be known that Hurun himself was exiled to the barbarian tribe when he was a child, and then he was able to worship under the door of today's saints and make meritorious achievements, thanks to the bloody battles of the ghost-faced barbarians under his command. If the Hu people can be properly educated, it may not be completely impossible to become a royal helper.
In the long run, the task of educating the Hu people into individual families is far less than the reorganization of an entire tribe.
However, the next words of Wen Fang greatly resolved the depression in Hurun's heart.
"Huayi miscellaneous places are perennial accumulation. The women's registration is established, so that my Zhuxia women will be the heads of Donghu, and my Daliang can also take Donghu women and children as slaves and maids......"
Wen Fangzhi narrated his plan, that is, to send many Donghu tribe women to the Central Plains, on the one hand, it can supplement the deficit of the Central Plains population, and women can avoid the hidden danger of riots, on the other hand, in the long run, the loss of women can control the continued development of the Donghu population.
Hearing Wen Fangzhi's plan, Hu Run couldn't help but high-five and admire: "No wonder the sage asked me to enter the town before leaving, and if I am undecided, I can ask Yang Qugong for advice." The plan is finalized, and Yangqu Gong really deserves the reputation of a national scholar! ”
Wen Fangzhi only grinned at Hurun's admiration, and accepted all the orders shamelessly, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this trafficker's plan.
The idea of sending the Donghu woman to the heavens as an important population resource was not a one-time plan.
It is an indisputable fact that the Central Plains has experienced wars and turmoil for a long time, and the population has plummeted, and the lessons of the Hu calamities have not yet gone far. Even if there is, the opening is very small, and the actual meaning is not great.
As early as the first year of the Great Cause, Wen Fangzhi suggested to the imperial court to attract Donghu women to move inward to seal the meritorious soldiers. However, because the imperial court was still weak in Liaobian, it was very limited to what it could provide, and the transportation capacity to communicate the north and the south was precious at that time, so it was difficult to divert it on a large scale.
But then His Majesty the Emperor sent a private message to Wen Fangzhi, suggesting that this idea was feasible, but it needed to be supplemented and improved. Although women are not as physically limited as men, they are still very valuable human resources in some fixed fields.
Not to mention anything else, once this channel is opened, at least the big textile workshops in Jiangdong will be happy to accept these manpower. Moreover, a large number of upstart portals in the sky also need these Donghu slaves to maintain their lives.
In order to maintain the existence of some small tribes, women also have to bear heavy labor and even fight with weapons, and the situation can be described as miserable. Organizing these people to be transported to the Central Plains is definitely an improvement in their own situation, and there is no need to have any moral burden.
Because of this, Hurun and Wen Fangzhi, the two military and political leaders of the Liaobian border, reached a high degree of consensus, and soon began to implement it.
Hurun's Pingliao Metropolitan Governor's Office used military means such as punishing evil and punishing crimes to crack down on those small Donghu tribes with proven guilt, in order to kidnap Donghu women.
It was inconvenient for the Pingzhou Assassin Mansion to come forward directly, and Wen Fangzhi could only interview the wealthy businessmen who traveled to and from the Liao Border, encouraging them to buy goods with money, as long as they could transport people back to Tianzhong, in addition to their own profits, they could also get a certain subsidy from the state and county governments.
At present, the vast majority of the Donghu tribes have not yet established a long-term development plan, let alone see that this is a sugar-coated desperate plan, but instead of being vigilant, they are happy to open up another stable source of wealth.
The fields are barren and scarce, and the fishing, hunting, and harvesting are hard and dangerous, but if the weak and useless women of the tribe are sold to those wealthy Chinese merchants, they can be exchanged for necessities such as food, clothing, and goods, which is really a good bargain. As long as the warehouse is abundant and brave and can fight, why should the husband have no wife?
As for the women who were sold by the clansmen, there may be some sadness, but soon these little sorrows are diluted by the yearning for a rich country in the sky.
It is said that the fertile fields in the sky accumulate fat, and the rivers are anointed, and the women do not need to work hard in the biting cold wind, and the men in the sky are also polite, unlike the vulgar men in the tribe, who beat and scolded the women at every turn. When the window is spinning, the mirror is pasted, the cloud bun is high, and the oxcart appreciates the flowers, who doesn't yearn for such a life?
Many things take time to have a powerful impact.
In the second year of the Great Cause, the women of Liaobian began to flow to the Central Plains, and the impact was only traceless. After that, this scale increased year by year, and a large number of Donghu women entered the Central Plains, most of which entered Henan, Guanzhong, Jiangdong, Shuzhong, and other places, engaged in textiles, tea picking and other labor-intensive technologies. But there are also a considerable number of people who go straight to the court of the powerful, Xianbei maids and Korean maids are also like orchids in the Western Regions, and they are called Jiashu in the Tianzhong City.
By the time the Liaobian Zhuhu tribes were alarmed by the restriction on the number of new births caused by the loss of women, several years had passed, and the Pingliao Metropolitan Governor's Mansion had already become a behemoth in Liaobian, and it was no longer something they could challenge. Moreover, most of the tribal warriors were recruited into the Han family's court, and they had their own mothers and wives who spoke day and night, and the neighbors climbed and measured the acres of land, and they really didn't have the mood and energy to plan for hegemony.
In the sixteenth year of the Great Cause, Wang's troops entered Pyongyang, completely defeated Goguryeo, and the city was full of widowers, which was rumored to be a joke for a while.
PS: There are about two or three chapters in the Liaodong chapter, mainly the problem of the Murong Department, as for these aspects of Goguryeo, I will not continue to extend...
