Chapter 281: Liu Chan's Plan
The barbarians of Nanzhong relied on hunting for a living, and although the women of this era were not weak women, the women of Nanzhong were more physically strong.
However, hunting is a difficult way of life, and even if women are strong and healthy, they still cannot survive independently, and must rely on young and strong men to do it.
However, the farming system was different, and although barbarian women could not hunt, the way of life of farming was easier than hunting. The elderly, the weak, women and children were able to survive with the help of the Han Chinese.
And Liu Chan's ten-year covenant has ulterior motives.
Now these young warriors are all in their twenties and thirties, and the barbarians are not very skilled in medical treatment, and after ten years, most of them are basically considered to be old age, and when they return to the tribe, they have no ability to rebel.
And those old and weak women and children, after ten years, most of the old people must have died, and the women and children have also become dependent on the Han after ten years of farming and life, and they are definitely unwilling to return to the primitive tribe and live that kind of life of wool and blood.
Therefore, once Liu Chan's plan is implemented, ten years later, these hundreds of thousands of people will be completely integrated into the Han Dynasty and become Han people.
When the population is enriched, there will be a chance for the prosperity of Nanzhong, but as for the specifics, it depends on Liu Chan's plan.
Liu Chan naturally has his own way to make Nanzhong prosperous.
For a place to prosper, in addition to its population, it is nothing more than its geographical location and abundant resources.
The geographical location extends in all directions, the traffickers and pawns, and the countless business travelers can naturally drive the prosperity of its place, which is a natural geographical advantage, and it is difficult to think of this kind of place if it is not developed.
However, Nanzhong does not have this geographical advantage.
In this way, abundant resources are needed to support it.
For example, the Hengdian Film and Television City in later generations, the geographical location is not good, the local population is less than 100,000, and it is relatively very backward, but because of its film and television resources, hundreds of thousands of people have rushed to go and become a famous tourist base in the country.
That's the effect of resources.
The land of Nanzhong is the land of Yunnan and Guizhou in later generations, and it is adjacent to Jiaozhou, although the geographical location of this era is not very good, but it has rich resources.
For example, gemstones, agate.
For example, Qike County has a high-quality water source, the Chishui River, and on the banks of the Chishui River, there are natural sauce cellar caves, which are suitable for making fine wine.
In later generations, the three major wines in the southwest region, such as Moutai, were all produced here.
Moreover, Nanzhong is more suitable for growing sugarcane, which can produce sugar, although this era has not yet passed to the Han Dynasty, but Liu Chan has a system that can be exchanged.
Jiaozhou, which is adjacent to Nanzhong, Jiuzhen and Rinan County in the south, is a famous jade producing area in later generations.
Moreover, Jiaozhou is more suitable for planting high-quality rice, and there is the famous Champa rice in history, and the high-quality grain can be transported to Qike County for winemaking, and it can also supplement the needs of Jing Erzhou.
In addition, offshore Jiaozhou, sea salt can be mined, and the mining of sea salt is much easier than that of Zhijing salt.
As long as Jiaozhou and Nanzhong Road are opened, gemstones, jade, agate, Jiaozhou sea salt, Zigongjing salt, Jiaozhou high-quality and high-yield rice, as well as fine wine and cane sugar, will compete for brilliance, which is enough to drive the development of the southwest region.
There is also the Maritime Silk Road, which can be exported overseas to establish overseas trade......
However, if you want to develop the southwest, it will not be done in a day.
The top priority is to address the threat of barbarians in the southwest and find a way to integrate them.
Whether it is a siege or a heart, it cannot permanently remove the threat of barbarians.
Only by integrating and turning it into one's own can we truly achieve long-term peace and stability.
Now that they have immigrated to Mulu, the people of these two ethnic groups of Duosi are the first step.
The second step is on the side of King Zhurong.
King Zhurong has already formed an alliance with him here, and Liu Chan has no intention of making a move against him for the time being, but after a hundred years, it may not be the same.
Liu Chan is not in a hurry, nor can he be in a hurry, this kind of thing needs to be boiled in warm water, step by step, painless death, and slow fusion is the right way.
Anyway, he is only nine years old, and in history, Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, and it was Meng Shu who was in charge, which means that King Zhurong should be in the past few years.
At present, first use the Mulu King, the clansmen of the Duosi King to test the water and see the situation, if the situation is good, after a hundred years of King Zhurong, Liu Chan is proposing immigration, and their resistance is not great.
At that time, these tribes are young and strong, and they can be used to build roads, use them for forced labor, mining ore, and salt, and I believe that in twenty or thirty years, the Nanzhong region will be able to take on a new look.
King Zhurong frowned slightly, he couldn't understand what Liu Chan's purpose was.
These hundreds of thousands of people moved out of the mountains to Nanzhong, and changed from a hunting life to a farming life, and the wealth consumed was not half a star.
Is it worth it?
King Zhurong asked himself in his heart, he knew that his little son-in-law never made a loss-making business.
It's just that King Zhurong didn't expect that Liu Chan was already starting to play a huge game of chess, and he, King Zhurong, was just an insignificant chess piece......
Liu Chan picked up the book on the table again, this book explained the art of the emperor, and Liu Chan was indeed fascinated by it.
Dozens of barbarian generals below looked at each other, drizzling in a low voice, and couldn't make up their minds.
They are barbarian generals, even if the tribe has a small population and some soldiers and horses under their command, they can be regarded as a large commander.
Once Liu Chan agreed, the people moved to Nanzhong, changed hunting to farming, and became more Han people, they were nothing.
But that's not the most important thing.
Now they are going to Yizhou to serve as conscripts to atone for their sins, and ten years later, the tribe will definitely elect other leaders, and they will go back without any power to speak of.
What they are worried about is whether they will be oppressed and exploited by the Han Dynasty after being included in the Han nationality.
Although everyone whispered, Liu Chan was full of everyone's words, and he put the scroll in his hand and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, after being included in the Han nationality, I will be the people of the Han Dynasty, and I should treat you equally!" ”
Everyone looked at each other and nodded, and an old barbarian stood up and said, "Hey, I am now a prisoner of the prince, I just want to live, on behalf of our tribe, I promise the prince!" ”
Liu Chan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Ten years later, you will be glad about today's decision, and please choose a few people of high moral integrity to follow my soldiers and horses back to the tribe in the near future to convey my intentions!" ”
"Yes!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
Liu Chan waved his hand, asked the barbarians to retreat, and immediately wrote the case, but after a while, he wrote a letter, handed it to Deng Ai, and said: "Deng Ai, you can take this letter and return to Chengdu by my thousand miles of a lamp, my thousand miles of a lamp can travel thousands of miles a day, you give this letter to your father, it is expected that it will only take three days to go back and forth!"
Come back as soon as possible, it will take three days for my army to rest and recuperate, and then the tribe of King Doth will need you to lead your troops to pacify! ”
Deng Ai's face was overjoyed, and he gave his hand to take the order: "No! ”
