The current Youzhou City is not big.

The total population of the whole city is only more than 20,000, and because it has been occupied by the steppe peoples for many years, half of the Turks living in this city are outside, so if you only talk about the comparison of ethnic strength, the Han people are weaker than the foreigners in their own land.

It's just that the Turks in Youzhou City are very different from the Turks in the steppe.

They did not think of themselves as Turkic, but wanted to think of themselves as Han Chinese, and they had stopped grazing for many years, but instead learned to farm with the Han Chinese.

How stable farming is!

Sprinkle one bag of seeds to turn into ten bags.

Although the harvest of land is not high, the most important thing in the north of the Central Plains is land. It can even be said that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is land that can be cultivated as far as the eye can see.

As long as you are willing to work hard, you can cultivate countless fertile fields, and then ask some Han farmers to be teachers and teach them how to grow crops from the fertile fields.

Previously, when Gu Tianya and Li Shimin first came to Youzhou with Tang officials, many people couldn't believe that the Turks here had more fields than the Han people, for example, a Turkic family with about a dozen people actually cultivated thousands of acres of land through years of hard work.

Even if one acre of land can only produce ten catties of grain, a thousand mu of land must add up to 10,000 catties, and a Turkic family has only about a dozen mouths at most, and this more than 10,000 catties of grain cannot be eaten at all.

Therefore, the Turks on this side of Youzhou are very satisfied.

……

It's been a long, long time since they've had that life of chasing water and grass to settle down.

They never worry about their tents being overturned by storms when winter comes.

Most of them hid in sturdy houses, and the family kept warm around the roaring fire, occasionally getting some food, and inviting some Han people to come over, not only as a reception and thanks, but also to continue to let the Han people help next year.

Gu Tianya has asked people to investigate, and this situation is not only unique to Youzhou.

It's basically the case in the entire Youyun Five Prefectures.

Since the land of Wuzhou was occupied by the Turks for many years, the Turks must have the ownership of any land, while the Han people belonged to the secondary people here, and could only help the Turks farm to earn food and drink.

Judging from this situation, it is said that the Han people should live a miserable life.

However, the Turkic people in this area are clearly different from those on the other side of the steppe.

They rarely oppressed the Han Chinese, let alone slaughtered and tortured, but every year when the steppe army invaded south, occasionally some steppe warriors killed the Han people here by mistake.

And whenever this happens, the Turks of the entire Cloud Land will be furious, they will take up the long-lost scimitar, they will ride their horses again, and then, thousands of people and tens of thousands of people will form an extremely powerful army in a short time.

They weren't going to follow the invasion army from the south.

They actually wanted to avenge the Han Chinese who was killed by the Turks.

In the Land of Clouds, no Han Chinese are allowed to kill, because Han people are their good friends.

This is the Turkic people of the Cloudsland.

These are the special rules of the Cloudy Lands.

No matter who comes here, it is not allowed to oppress the Han Chinese.

These Youzhou Turks have lived here for too long, and they have subconsciously regarded themselves as Han Chinese.

They're sinicized!

……

"So, in this case, how should governance begin......

In a makeshift simple house, Gu Tianya took chalk and wrote the question on the blackboard.

Another in-class quiz.

His teaching philosophy has always been practical.

And the question he raised today is exactly what is happening in the entire Cloud Land right now.

After writing this topic, Gu Tianya stopped bothering the students, he walked to a small stove by himself, and stretched out his hand to roast his stiff hands on it.

It was too cold, and my fingers were stiff when I wrote with chalk for a while, and it seemed that we had to quickly establish a regular academy, otherwise both teachers and students would continue to suffer.

This simple house is the first school in Youzhou, because Gu Tianya wants to teach in a large area, the place of the school must be large enough, but now it is the cold winter season, it is impossible to teach in the open air, in that case, the students will be frozen and unbearable, and his Gu Tianya's physique will also be frozen and unbearable.

Therefore, the Turks and Han people in the city worked together and spontaneously built this big house in extreme time.

It's a pity that it was built, and it was built too hastily after all.

Such a huge school, it is impossible to build it in a short time, this big house is only supported by pillars one by one, and then the pillars are connected by wooden boards, although the larger gaps are covered with mud, but those small gaps are no longer exposed to the cold wind all the time.

However, even so, the students are already full of enthusiasm.

Whenever Gu Tianya started class, the whole big house was densely packed with people, crowded, black and pressed, there were immature babies with snot bubbles, there were also thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-old children, and even the kind of burly young man, who was cheeky enough to say that he had not grown up and was breastfeeding, and he belonged to the ranks of children and could become students.

Anyway, if you want to listen to the class, you must listen to Mr. Gu's lecture.

And every time at this time, there are countless parents who come in waves, and they spontaneously form a circle of human walls, using their bodies to block the cold wind blowing towards this big house.

These parents are Turkic and Han Chinese, and the ratio of the number is almost evenly proportioned.

When they were helping their children shield themselves from the cold wind, they could also hear Gu Tianya's lectures in the school, so whenever Gu Tianya raised a class question, occasionally a parent would have the courage to answer.

Gu Tianya always has a gentle smile, he will listen carefully to any parent's answer, and often if the parent answers well, he will give a little reward as encouragement.

For example, the question he raised again today, parents were more enthusiastic than children.

"Mr. Gu, I want to answer ......"

This is a man with a Shandong accent, who is standing on the periphery of the big house to shield himself from the cold wind at this time, this man is relatively tall, but he still stands on tiptoe, so he is obviously worried that Gu Tianya will not be able to see him, so he strives to make himself top in the crowd.

Gu Tianya stood up, smiled gently at the man from afar, and encouraged: "Say, what is your answer?" ”

The man hurriedly held his head high, obviously taking a deep breath to cheer himself up, and then, he said loudly: "A little gentleman under your door told me that governance is the meaning of implementing management policies, and Mr. Gu's question just now is 'how to start the governance of the land of clouds', and I just have something to say about this issue." ”

"Then you can say it boldly!"

Gu Tianya continued to smile and encourage, and even added: "If you answer well, I will ask you to have a drink with me." It's the kind of Gu's liquor that has been specially warmed, and it will be hot and spicy all over the body after drinking a glass. ”

Goo!

Countless voices of swallowing saliva rang out all around.

The north is bitter and cold, and wine is a treasure, so whether it is Han or Turkic, the desire for wine is no less than food. Even women, if they have the opportunity, they can take a 'pause', and drinking a meal is considered a small fight, and half a pound and a pound will not affect their work.

When the man heard that Gu Tianya was going to reward him for drinking, and even rewarded him for drinking with Gu Tianya, the man's face was full of excitement, and the whole person couldn't help but shake.

He barely restrained himself, and then he spoke loudly and said, "I think that this place in Youzhou is different from other places. Han people in other places will be bullied by the Turks, but the Turks here in Youzhou regard us Han people as good brothers. ”

He paused as he spoke, and then said: "Mr. Gu, you may not know that the Turks here have saved many Han people, and when there is a famine, there is no overnight food at home, and when the children are hungry and crying, there will always be Turks who come to the door with a bag of grain, and after coming to the door, they don't say anything, just throw the grain bag on the ground, and then turn around and leave, leading their horses to carry the grain and continue to go to another house to deliver food to the Han people, so the Han people have never starved to death in Youzhou for so many years......"

He stopped here again, and for some reason his mood suddenly became depressed, and said with a bitter face: "On the contrary, in my hometown, every time I encounter a famine, I will starve to death." The rich families were clear that the granary was full, but they refused to take out a grain of grain, and if they were allowed to take out the grain to save their lives, the poor people had to sell their sons and daughters to sell their land. It's because I can't live anymore that I fled to Youzhou a few years ago, where I can at least eat enough. ”

When he kept talking about this, he still didn't answer Gu Tianya's question, but Gu Tianya was not dissatisfied, but suddenly asked: "After you sold your children, wife and land, you no longer had anything to sell, so you couldn't live, so you came to Youzhou?" ”

"It's not!"

The man was excited, and then his face was full of pride, and he said loudly: "No matter how poor and hard I am, I can't do that kind of thing of selling my sons and daughters, and my wife doesn't sell it either, she is already pitiful enough to follow me." ”

Gu Tianya nodded, and suddenly asked a new question, "Then why don't you go to Guannei to escape the famine, but instead come to a bitter cold place like Youzhou." You must know that Kannai has been the hinterland of the imperial court for generations, and a large number of victims have passed over every time there is a famine, why don't you go, what is the reason for this? ”

But when he saw the man looking over from afar, he suddenly asked Gu Tianya a rhetorical question, and said, "Mr. Gu, are the people in the desert escape pass doing well?" ”

Gu Tianya seemed to know that he would ask this, so he sighed gloomily and said, "Not good!" ”

The man asked again, "Mr. Gu, have all the people in the desert escaped?" ”

Many people present were stunned, especially those of the family officials who taught in the school next to them, everyone could know that this man's question was difficult to answer.

It's not that the questions are difficult, but that the answers are difficult.

I don't know how Mr. Gu will answer.

……

…… The first shift arrived, followed by the second shift.
