The civilization of the northern kingdom has not evolved deeply, and it is still an era when the strong are kings. From the Tianshan Mountains to the sea, there are more than a hundred tribes. Since Aguta, this strong man has won the power of Liao, and countless tribes that originally had their own names have been integrated into the banner of "Jurchen", and for a time they have been invincible for thousands of miles.

This era was the period of low temperature in the world, although the advanced farming methods and new crops of the Han tribe greatly increased the grain production in the northeast, making it possible for the northern peoples to survive without plundering south. But the ambitions of the Jurchens have been formed, and the politics of Da Liao are extremely rotten, like a half-fed jackal crawling in front of a fat and sick antelope, how can it not drool?

However, Cao Guangbi's worry was not for this antelope, but for the fatter and sicker elephant lying behind this antelope!

"Now that the proposal of the Song Dynasty to attack Liao is about to be completed, and the war is imminent, the supply of grain and grass in the Han Department is no problem, right? I heard a letter from Kezhong saying that there are a lot of immigrants in Fuzhou this year, and the people's food is very tight, and all the new income from last year's grain has been consumed by the new immigrants. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "The shortage of grain and grass among the people is indeed due to the great increase in immigrants on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also due to my strict control over the grain for famine and war in southern Liaoning. As for the surge in immigration, this is a very good thing in the long run. Our Han Department has sufficient animal power and excellent agricultural tools, and most of the newly bankrupt farmers are good at farming, and they are all excited after being allocated land. Nowadays, the peasants under the rule of the Han Dynasty can produce food for five or six people, and the middle peasants can produce food for three or four people. The barren tidal flats, as well as the woodlands and grasslands near the source of the river, I let Lu Kezhong leave them barren to protect the water and soil. Now that Fuzhou's farmland has been almost developed, if there are still so many immigrants in the next few years, it will not take two or three years for the wasteland in Chenzhou and Kaizhou to be reclaimed. Moreover, what we advocate is intensive farming, and the yield per mu is very high. ”

Cao Guangbi said: "Recently, there have been more and more immigrants from the Great Song Dynasty, and even Liaokou is also prosperous, I like it very much." But if this continues, what if the wasteland in the three states is exhausted and immigrants are still rolling in? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "It should take a few years to complete the development of the wasteland in Sanzhou. Besides, we also have Daliuqiu Island, which can accommodate a much larger agricultural population than southern Liaoning. If Daliuqiu Island is developed, then our Hanbu grain and grass will no longer have to worry. ”

Cao Guangbi said: "What if Daliuqiu is also developed? ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "It's going to be ten years, ten years later." At that time, the general trend of the world did not know what it would become. ”

"Ten or twenty years from now? Is that island so big? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "First, the island is indeed not small, especially the land that can be reclaimed into fertile land. Second, I estimate that Liuqiu will not develop so quickly under the auspices of the fourth brother. The fourth brother's ability to manage internal affairs is very limited, and it is already very good that he can maintain the route and gain a foothold in Daliuqiu! When things in Liaodong gradually stabilize, I still have to find a good internal affairs expert to help! ”

Cao Guangbi shook his head when he heard this: "You are wrong about this matter!" ”

"Am I wrong?"

"Well, you didn't come to the Yuan Minmin Conference in June and July this year, but Hu Mao, who presided over the secretary, is your old subordinate, didn't he tell you these things when he went to Huining?"

Yang Yingqi said: "No." Sister-in-law pressed it. I asked Hu Mao if there was anything in trouble, and he said no, so I stopped asking. ”

Cao Guangbi smiled and said: "Yes, sister-in-law asked us to 'report worries but not good news', if everything goes well in the ministry, don't bother you for the time being." ”

Yang Yingqi saw that Cao Guangbi's two sentences came abruptly, and asked: "Did there be any major incident at the Yuan Minmin Conference?" ”

Cao Guangbi said: "The people of the Yuan tribe who are begging have brought very important news. After returning to Jinmen, it is best to look at the archives that record major events. ”

Yuan is the first, and the "Yuan people" mentioned by Cao Guangbi is the first generation of the Han people. The names of the first generation of the people of the Han Dynasty were registered in the first book of the Han Dynasty, and the first few people were: Di Yu, Zhe Yanchong, Cao Guangbi, Yang Kaiyuan, Ouyang Shi, Aluman, Xiao Tienu and Yang Yingqi.

Later, the Han tribe gradually expanded through marriages and wars, and more and more new tribesmen joined, and gradually there were the second and third books of origin. According to the theory that there were second, third, and fourth generations of people within the Han tribe, but out of the consideration of unity, Zhi Yanchong and others tried to dilute the gap between generations, which is a task that has not yet been completed.

There were 361 people in the first generation, and only 292 people are still alive today, but the number of Yuan people registered in the "Yuan nationality" has expanded to about 3,000. Why are there more and more Yuanbu people?

It turned out that because the Yuan people were the veterans of the Han Dynasty, although there were no explicit regulations, the status of these people in the Ministry was actually relatively high, and other people also recognized their "old qualifications" psychologically, which made the Yuan people form a transcendent status and noble self-awareness. The leaders of the Han Dynasty took advantage of the situation and met the needs of these people after obtaining the consent of the old people, and at the same time, in order to prevent the degeneration and crime of the Yuan people, the rules of "naturalization" and "expulsion" were gradually formed. After the formation of the channel of "naturalization" and "denaturalization", the people of the Yuan Province realized the mobility and selectivity of personnel, and changed from a kind of seniority in the place of origin to an institutionalized status. Since the Yuan people are not hereditary for life, the old people will be removed if they make mistakes, and the new people have the opportunity to become Yuan people through their own efforts, so this rule also helps to eliminate the arrogance of the original people and the resistance of the new people to the old people.

On the one hand, the excellent and loyal people within the Han Department were slowly absorbed; On the other hand, these people were distributed in various key departments and became the backbone of the Han Department. At present, the people of the Yuan tribe do not have legal privileges, but they are not only the skeleton of the entire Han Ministry, but also the real power class of the entire Han Ministry. In this troubled era, the Han tribe needs to constantly absorb new blood in order to become stronger, so there are often situations where the latter comes from behind - for example, Yang Pu, Lu Kezhong and others are quickly promoted because of their ability. But the real establishment of their status in the Han Dynasty was still after they also became Yuan people.

When they were in Huininghan Village, the people of the Yuan tribe would gather together every spring to pay homage to their ancestors in the valley of death, just like the first Spring Festival spent in the Valley of Death. As the cause of the Han Department grew, this commemorative gathering gradually became a meeting with a political function. After the development of Liuqiu, some of the Yuanbu people followed Ouyang Shi southward as the backbone, in order to match the time when the monsoon came north, so that the Yuanbu people of Liuqiu went north, and the Yuanbu people's meeting was changed from the Spring Festival to June and July every year.

Most of the Yuan people in other places are in important positions, and there are rules for who should come and who should not come during the Yuan Ministry. For example, Zhou Xiaochang, who was in Bianliang, did not attend, the officers of Liaokou Anpo arrived every two years, and the officials who asked for officials to attend in turn every three years, and so on. After these Yuan people got together, in addition to exchanging their feelings for each other's departures, they also reported to the General Assembly what they had seen and heard in their locality, and important matters would be recorded for future reference.

Yang Yingqi did not attend this year's Yuan Ministry, and the most recent meeting he attended was in June of the first year of Chonghe, that is, in the middle of last year, when Chen Zhenghui was still drifting on the sea boat of Liuqiu.
