After the handover between Xu Ping and Cao Cong was completed, it was already late February. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the spring is planted in the autumn before the harvest, and the overriding task at this time is to cultivate the fields. Wang Gongchen arrived with a large team of men and horses after Guo Zheng, and went straight to Qinzhou, where he temporarily settled down in the Metropolitan Deployment Division.

After several years of working in the camp and developing it single-handedly, Wang Gongchen is familiar with the camp and does not need Xu Ping to guide the farming. But Qinzhou was the extreme edge of the western part of the imperial court, which was different from the mainland. Fan and Han are mixed, there are many mature households, the surrounding land ownership is complicated, and the wasteland and ripe fields are also very messy, we must first sort out which land can be planted, and which idle fields are ownerless land and can be reclaimed. Xu Ping handed over to Chong Shiheng to take Qinzhou's staff and take measures with Wang Gongchen.

A large number of companies and field workers who moved from Liangjing, except for those who stayed in Fengxiang Mansion to operate the field affairs of Guo Zheng, the rest were under Wang Gongchen, and were distributed in Qin, Fengzhou and Fengxiang Mansion, which were suitable for farming. The camp fields in various localities are all responsible for the general judgment and the camp field affairs, and the strategy department has set terms of rewards and punishments, and the cultivation, planting, management, and harvesting are assessed in stages.

Qinzhou's land is later than that of the Central Plains, and the land is cultivated in March, and it can be planted until May, and the late planting is nothing more than one season a year. Xu Ping set a general principle: all newly reclaimed idle land should be planted with alfalfa for cultivation, and then converted to cash crops after two years. Alfalfa is a leguminous plant with a root system that fixes nitrogen and can increase nutrients in the land, and has a deep root system that can loosen the soil to a certain extent. There is a folk proverb, a season of alfalfa, three years of good land. In addition, where there are conditions for cultivated cooked land, a season of beans should be planted after the winter wheat is harvested, and soybeans and black beans are not limited, and the land is mainly cultivated. Those who have been planting food crops for more than five or six years will also be planted with alfalfa for one season, and then with food crops.

Although the natural conditions in this area are suitable for farming, in order to support the military, it is still suitable for half-farming and half-grazing. The herding of the fields cannot be nomadic, but can only be enclosed for shepherding, and planting pasture grass is the proper meaning.

In addition to alfalfa, a plot of land was circled near Qinzhou to grow sorghum, mainly sweet sorghum brought by Xu Ping from the Central Plains. Sorghum is used to make liquor, and liquor has less flavor due to the special process. Sweet sorghum itself can also be used as pasture grass and can also be used to make edible alcohol, and then use the lees of good liquor to make cheap liquor.

Grain is scarce in the border areas, and it is too wasteful to use all the grain to make wine, and it is not something that the vast number of Tibetan herdsmen can afford. Using sorghum straw to make wine, it can be sold in large quantities at a low cost, as a bulk material for trading with the Qiang.

How Wang Gongchen and the officials of the two states and one government cooperated, how they arranged the manpower, and how they cultivated the wasteland, Xu Ping didn't care. After so many years of doing field work, Wang Gongchen is enough to be in charge alone, and he doesn't need to point fingers.

In early March, the spring was bright, and Qinzhou City was busy from the inside to the outside, a lively scene. The camp was busy clearing the wasteland and farming, and the three divisions were busy finding a suitable location in the city, establishing commercial establishments, and building warehouses to start stockpiling goods. Now the surrounding situation is not familiar, and the third shop has not yet officially opened, Xu Ping has to choose a suitable time.

Taking advantage of the spring light, on this day, Xu Ping called Chong Shiheng and Zhang Zailai to meet in front of a building not far from the mansion.

When he arrived at the place, Zhang Zai saw that Xu Ping and Chong Shiheng were already standing there, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

After seeing the ceremony, Xu Ping said to Zhang Zai: "Xiucai, you have been arguing with Master Qisong along the way, and now you can't argue?" ”

Zhang Zaidao: "It's not the students who want to fight, it's the monk who pesters people, what can I do?" He has to pester me every day to tell me the truth that Confucianism and Confucianism are a family, as long as you don't go along with his words, he won't let you go. I've been studying and living for 20 years, and I haven't seen such a stubborn monk, so there's really no way! ”

Xu Ping and Chong Shiheng looked at each other and smiled. Qi Song can be famous and persuaded by many people, is it so easy to deal with? When they met Zhang Zai for the first time, he relied on his youth and vigor and understood the affairs of Xifan more than Qi Song, so he had the upper hand. Where did he think that the monk's patience had already surpassed ordinary people, not only was he not annoyed, but he also stared at Zhang Zai, which was quite a bit of a point to his meaning. With the perseverance to recite 100,000 sentences of Guanyin Bodhisattva's Dharma every day, Qi Song ate and slept with Zhang Zai every day, which made him almost collapse.

Let Zhang Zai complain for a while, Xu Ping said to him: "You go all the way, and everyone sees the noise and yelling." Xiucai, let me ask you, do you know why I want to take you to work for the side affairs together? ”

Zhang Zaidao: "Students read the books of sages, so naturally they are here to educate people's hearts, teach people to know etiquette, and serve the people of the court." ”

"What about the monk?" Seeing that Zhang didn't answer, Xu Ping couldn't help but want to laugh. Zhang Zai was tortured by Qi Song, and I am afraid that he did not have the heart to think about this problem. Of course, Qi Song has never seen such a difficult person to convince, and he has been consuming with Zhang Zai.

Xu Ping said: "Using a monk to accompany the army and letting him use Buddhism to educate the Tibetan people is the current policy of the imperial court, to raze and raze." According to the preferences of the Tibetan people, they did what they wanted, and it was used by the imperial court and the Tibetan fence of the dynasty. As for you—"

Zhang Zai had a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "Jing Liumo doesn't think that the strategy of razing is unreliable, but to turn razing into summer?" ”

"Yes, the children can be taught!" Xu Ping nodded, "The princes will raze it if they use Yi Li, and if they enter China, they will be in China, and they will have a king, and it is not as good as the death of Zhuxia." Hexi Hehuang was originally the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and now the so-called Fan Qiang was mostly Han people a hundred years ago, and they forgot the etiquette of China when they entered Yidi. The poem "River Huang has a Feeling" in the late Tang Dynasty: Since Xiaoguan, the dust of war has begun, and the river has cut off the spring in a foreign land. The Han people did all their best, but they scolded the Han people to the city. It is known that since the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang dynasty has no time to take care of the land of Hehuang, and the Han people have turned into Hu'er in the past few decades. Now the imperial court wants to use troops to the west to destroy the country, and it is a policy to let these Qiang as court fences, and it is another policy to re-turn them into the people of the court, and to work together with the court to exterminate the thieves. ”

In his previous life, Xu Ping talked about history and often talked about the integration of nationalities, and one of the words that is often mentioned is that if Yidi enters China, China will be China, and if China enters Yidi, it will be Yidi. The source of the words came from Han Yu, of course, Han Yu didn't mean this originally, but later the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty, and in order to create legitimacy, this sentence was replayed. Confucianism is about the great defense of Yixia, and if China enters Yidi, there will be Yidi, and if Yidi enters China, China will have the least, and there is no such idea in this era. This is the theoretical basis for the current imperial court to regard the Western Tibetan tribes, no matter what the source is, to regard them as Fanqiang.

The exchange and integration of ethnic groups was two-way, the two Han Dynasty were Sinicized in their external development, while the Tang Dynasty was Huhua in their external development. By the time of the Anshi Rebellion, Hu Feng was already prevalent north of the Huai River, which was also the social foundation for the counterinsurgency war to be fought so hard. Of course, for future generations, whether it is sinicization or Huhua, it is a great exchange and integration of nationalities, of course, it is not wrong. It is precisely this kind of social foundation that Han Yu's statement appeared, of course, he said that the princes entered China rather than Yidi entered China.

At present, the general policy of the imperial court in the northwest is to "use razing to defeat raze", that is, to use the northwest Fan Qiang to deal with the party Xiang Yuanhao, as a fence for the imperial court. But when Xu Ping arrived here, he felt that this might not be correct, and perhaps it would be more appropriate to change it to Xia.

Using monks to encompass the various departments of Fan and Qiang is to "control the raze with raze", and to use scholars to educate and change customs is to change the raze into summer.

Zhang Zai understood what Xu Ping meant, looked at the closed door in front of him, and said, "Jing has a little heart, but I don't know what it means to come here?" Isn't this place having a special purpose? ”

Xu Ping nodded: "Not bad." This is the Qinzhou Nazhi Courtyard, surrounded by hundreds of Tibetan and Qiang accounts, and there are many protons locked here. If you want to turn it into summer, start with this place. ”
