Chapter 689 Prairie City
The students of Xuetang Island, for Qian Rujun's statement, discussed it for a while before saying to Qian Rujun:
"If you teach the grassland people to plant, I really don't know whether to abuse them or reward them, but for us Han people, it is probably not a good thing. ”
They have a point in saying that.
Planting is not a simple thing, but grazing to feed people, in the eyes of ordinary people need a relatively large land, in the person who cultivates the field, such a large land, he can not finish plowing in his life, can produce food, it is estimated that enough for a hundred people to eat.
If Qian Rujun looks at it, it is estimated that he will feel that if one person grazes such a large land, if he wants to cultivate, it is estimated that he can give it to 10,000 people.
Most of the people on the grassland, in the era of the Han Dynasty, were in a nomadic state.
If this land is accessible to their tribe, and there is no enemy hindering it, they will be nomadic and go to the warmer pastures in the winter and the northern pastures in the summer, so that the fertility of the pastures can be restored.
"Forget it, if we exclude them in our hearts, the steppe people will become second-class citizens, so it will be too difficult to make them recognize the Han as their country from the heart.
In the future, they will be full of resentment towards our ideas. But to let them enjoy the welfare of the Han people now, this is also too much, they will not know how to cherish it.
The way of life of the Han is not very suitable for them, and they may think that we have no reason to assimilate them.
So we should take our time step by step, so that every time they are a little more submissive, they can get more benefits.
Or cheap grain, or pots, or salt.
You can start with the things you need for your life and then slowly spread to others.
But I think that the education of young children really has to be carried out, so that they can slowly identify with this country, and they can only start from small children.
Anyway, the little ones can get a little more benefits.
When teaching them to read, they can make love for the Han and follow the emperor's heart and penetrate into their hearts.
If they are afraid that they will be influenced by their parents, then educate them separately.
The effect of militarized brainwashing far exceeds that of others.
Except for some key things that can't be conveyed to the grassland, let's let them enjoy the same well-being as the people of the Han Dynasty!"
Qian Rujun's words were a little scattered, but she wasn't worried that the students on Xuetang Island didn't know what she meant.
Basically, if the purpose is set, the students of Xuetang Island will be able to know the direction of Qian Rujun's thinking, and even if Qian Rujun's own words conflict with themselves, they will figure out what Qian Rujun really means.
In fact, the students of Xuetang Island already have a lot of ideas in their heads, or the ideas in their hearts will be more perfect.
But there is an energy in the brainwashing effect, which can correct the parts of their minds that do not conform to Qian Rujun's ideas.
And these ideas are not Qian Rujun's superficial thoughts, but Qian Rujun's core thoughts.
Qian Rujun, even if they didn't say anything, they would find their own direction.
Now that they have broken all this, they actually know that Qian Rujun did not ask them to build the Golden Wheat City they imagined before, but a new city that is completely in line with the ecology on the grassland.
That is, they must let go of their thinking skills and use their imagination and creativity to the fullest.
They found that from the very beginning, they saw a house in Goryeo, built a big ship on the Yalu River, and then, in the wilderness of Dahan, they built a village that believed to be the most suitable for human life, and in Chang'an City, they built dense residences and student dormitories.
All the work requires them to exert their collective strength, especially later, when they realize that in order to build a space where most people live, it is really necessary to gather the wisdom of many people.
Cities are not only about houses, but of course when they are gathered in the middle of these houses, there will be all kinds of needs.
These needs will change depending on the people and different ethnic groups.
The hardest problem to solve is that these needs will also change over time.
They did the math and found that even though they started differently, in the end, people's needs were so similar.
The face of the city will eventually become the same.
However, before that, because of industry and wealth, it actually took more time to get to this point.
Before that, the road that should be taken still can't be skipped, and if it doesn't meet their previous needs, how can it evolve to the end.
Not every city can survive forever, and many more will be buried in the dust of history for one reason or another.
In front of me, there has never been a city in the land of the Xiongnu, or the land of the steppe. In this land, in addition to the Xiongnu people, there are countless more than one tribe.
Perhaps, they may be of the same bloodline, but a few people can form a new tribe!
Maybe it's because they run too far into the range, and there is no ten-mile different sound situation in the prairie on the prairie.
The scope of a language is too broad.
"Let everyone speak the simplest words, I call it Chinese. ”
Qian Rujun explained.
She really misses the language she knows so well. As for the dialect she once spoke, she couldn't speak.
"What if we don't know that?"
"Go to the space and learn, I'll teach you. ”
Qian Rujun was thinking, this kind of Chinese textbook, it seems that in her time, there were many textbooks.
Although it is aimed at foreigners, there should be no problem teaching it to the Han Chinese and the Huns, right?
Anyway, they are all in Chinese characters, and their acceptance should be very high.
It's just that they may not be familiar with regular script.
Therefore, before the design of the city, they basically did not see people in their tents at night, and even if it was breakfast, they never got up to eat.
Let the firehead start to complain a little.
Thankfully, the complaint is not serious. That is, complaining that they are picky.
However, their training time is only three days, and if they don't succeed, the newly brainwashed people will have to be taught by Qian Rujun, and it seems that they don't care at all, anyway, someone will do it, and it doesn't matter what the effect is.
However, the meaning of the existence of the students on Xuetang Island is to let Qian Rujun live his life leisurely. Ensure that Qian Rujun can be safe.
If the matter of teaching really makes Qian Rujun play by himself, isn't the meaning of their existence lost?
Therefore, what Qian Rujun said inspired them to study hard.
Of course, in the past three days, the people captured by the Huns have not been brainwashed, seeing that they are sensible, but they are panicked, the Huotou army is concerned!
Therefore, the guards are not very strict, if it were not for the Hun army guarding the periphery, they would really have escaped successfully.
As for where they will be able to go after escaping, no one can know.
The people on the grassland have their own way of survival.
What should a grassland city look like?
If the grassland city wants to be sinicized, what should it be?
During these three days of learning the language, they thought and talked and talked and talked, and finally the urban model of the grassland gradually appeared.
The house to be built must be let out by them in the absence of Qian Rujun.
This self includes those who specialize in building houses among the steppe people.
Therefore, southern building materials are not advisable.
Public construction does not necessarily have to be made locally, but can be found within a certain range.
The grassland is not without trees, in the shade of the mountain, in fact, there are some places that are leeward, and there can be trees.
This kind of city, in their minds, needs to exert a lot of creativity, and it also has a sense of design, so it can arouse their thinking ability.
At the beginning, they always discussed in front of Qian Rujun, hoping that Qian Rujun would give them ideas and supplements. Qian Rujun can know a little more things than them, the most important thing is that she has more knowledge, and there are many things that she has seen a long time ago.
Through film and television pictures, although Qian Rujun has not seen many places with her own eyes, she has seen the essence in the eyes of others.
Almost everyone in her time had the same experience.
Perhaps because they all had similar experiences, in their time, this knowledge was not very precious.
However, when you come to Dahan, just true insight is a kind of wealth in itself.
But Qian Rujun knows that if there is no space, in fact, she can't do anything about everything.
Dahan is far from a society in which one can survive.
In the Han Dynasty, people still had to unite in order to live.
But it didn't take long for what they discussed to seem to have a result, and the people ran away, and Qian Rujun couldn't see anyone.
Qian Rujun continued to be busy, originally busy with things, just curious about what kind of city their discussion would be.
He knows that when they have a concept of what kind of city they want to build, they will draw a design to show them, and she is looking forward to it.
However, Qian Rujun's prediction was wrong, the grassland city in their imagination had not yet taken shape, but they knew that they could not waste time, so they started thinking about where to do it.
Anyway, the last thing that the city on the grassland needs is fixation.
Since there is no fixed dwelling, the toilets they imagine cannot be delivered to every household using the Jinmaicheng model.
So they discussed this, and they built a public bathroom, and when they used the public bathroom, it cost money.
But it is stipulated that people must take a bath, and this is regarded as a tax for the city.
Since it is a tax payment, it will naturally be clear who has a bath and who has not.
Those who do not take a bath must be punished in the same way as if they did not pay taxes.
Although people resist paying taxes, they know that it is necessary to pay taxes, and if they pay taxes, most of them will not evade taxes.
This tax is regarded as a poll tax, which both men and women have to pay.
As a result of the discussion, this model was very popular.
The people of the grassland must implement the policy of sinicization on the surface, but in the detailed rules, they cannot be the same as those in the mainland of the Han Dynasty.
In the interior of the Han Dynasty, there is no obligation to let so many people serve as soldiers.
In the future, the grassland soldiers will definitely become the main force of the Han army.
Turning the poll tax into a bath tax is also a pioneering initiative.
But outside the city, it is estimated that this trick cannot be used.
Bathing water in the savannah cannot be wasted and must be collected and used as water for aquaculture.
The skin dandruff washed off by the human body is a good feed for raising fish, but I don't know if people dare to eat such fish.
The prairie people don't seem to be very good at eating fish! They must be trained in the skills of eating fish.
It's best to keep some fish with fewer spines.
"Princess, can you give us some manpower? We don't need more manpower, 10,000 Huns are enough, after all, this city, we have to help them build a new one, but they also have to contribute, these more than 10,000 people can use those women and children or hearts, and these people may not need to train on the battlefield, because the people on the battlefield must be experts!
A hoe in one hand and a sword in the other, in fact, is not very good for them.
We don't think this is much different from the Han people.
Human nature, human nature should actually follow the same laws. ”
The student of Xuetang Island said cautiously.
"Do you mean these people are going to be untrained? You know you and I need some time to continue training them in space. ”
Qian Rujun will not put brainwashing in words, it will exist in her heart.
"It's still been trained, because with the training, it's actually better for them to learn a new job. Nor will it be against us. ”
School Island students, you can give answers without thinking about it.
This time they're going to build a city, not a school.
This is not a Dahan city in the traditional sense.
Although Qian Rujun asked them to build a city that conformed to the grassland, the shadow of Jinmai City could not be erased.
A city may not be very large in this era, but in their plan, the city needs to accommodate 300,000 people, or even a million people in the future.
The main determinant of a city's population is nothing else, water and food.
The grain supply lines in the grasslands are relatively long, but the price of grain is also relatively high.
As for water, for most people, the use of water is still largely subservient to water.
Fetching water, in the eyes of the students of Xuetang Island, is the most important thing.
It is also the largest project in their eyes. After completion, this water line must be guarded by the most loyal people.
Therefore, their first step is not to look for building materials, but to find water sources and stones, and it is best to have water sources and stones together, and this part of the work must be done by the Huns who went to the expedition.
Stone can be used to build stone slabs for carrying water, and it can also be used as lime for cement.
The location they chose was actually near Yinshan Mountain, and this place was near the Yellow River.
Qian Rujun knew that this place, in later generations, was known as the south of the Yangtze River.
This is because it is not only possible to develop agriculture, but also to grow rice fields.
In Qian Rujun's opinion, it is indeed a bit of a waste to use this place for grazing.
This place, with irrigation channels, is a place where farming can be done.
However, it doesn't seem to be too wasteful. Now the people of Dahan do not have the energy to plant here.
