What is this?

At the banquet, Chen Mo's face sank, although he was not ready to participate in this recruitment, this feeling of being deceived still made Chen Mo very uncomfortable.

"East ...... Family ......" Batakan broke free from the two of them, kowtowed to Chen Mo and said: "Please help me, Batakan is willing to offer loyalty to the owner, we truly love each other." ”

"Let's talk about it." Chen Mo taught Batakan Chinese during this time, and Batakan did not speak Chinese very well, but Chen Mo learned almost the words of Mengqi Doune.

The story is also simple, Batagan brought his caravan to Dahan and wanted to do a business, but he encountered a sandstorm on the way, he was separated from the troops, and he could only keep walking towards the east, he didn't understand the language here, and when he was in the clouds, he met the daughter of the Dugu patriarch and was rescued by the other party.

Then things are a bit cliché, just like what is said in the miscellaneous books, the honest and upright Batakan fell in love with the nobles of the Dugu tribe, the kind of curtain on the ground, but the Dugu patriarch obviously didn't want his daughter to marry such a person, he was going to kill him, but his daughter was not angry, so he could only be sold as a slave, it was half a year ago, and it was recently discovered that his daughter's stomach began to be wrong, and the Dugu clan wanted to cover up their ugliness, so they wanted to recruit relatives in a hurry.

Therefore, most of the things like recruiting relatives are deceptive.

"Batakan is now a scholar by my side, and he is also a scholar from Mengchi Doune, so if you want to talk about your identity, it is actually not bad." Chen Mo looked at the Dugu patriarch and said: "If the patriarch is willing, you can let Batagan marry Lingnu, Batagan will be an official by my side in the future, and he will not be treated badly, and he will not lose face here." ”

Chen Mo's purpose is to let the Dugu tribe belong to him, and in the next step, he is ready to take over Yunzhong and Dingxiang, the support of the Dugu Department is very important, if the Dugu Department can enter his command, this land in the clouds can be used as a pilot, and it is also the focus of trade between the state and the grassland, and it is also a place to produce elite cavalry.

The Dugu patriarch looked at Batagan and then at Chen Mo, and could only nod: "General Benyi." ”

"That's right." Chen Mo paused, looked at the Dugu patriarch and said with a smile: "I wonder if there are any young and beautiful women on the Dugu patriarch's side?" ”

"The general's meaning is ......" Dugu patriarch frowned and looked at Chen Mo, the other party did not look like a greedy person for beauty.

"This is my general Dian Wei, who wants to ask for a grassland concubine, but the ordinary ones are too ugly, and they don't look good when they are brought back." Chen Mo sat on the Hu bed, looked at the Dugu patriarch and said: "Don't worry, the patriarch, although it is said that it is a concubine, this concubine is also superior and inferior, I can call the shots and let him marry with the most formal etiquette." ”

I don't know why Dian Wei is good at this, Han women are gentle and virtuous, but everyone has their own ambitions, since Dian Wei likes it, he, the lord of the father, should also help, not to mention the previous things, his own fierce general is not light to Lei, you must know that Dian Wei has already regarded this patriarch's daughter as a bag, who knows that such a play has been staged, naturally it can't be wanted, and Batagan Chen Mo also wants to keep it, another civilized thing, now the tip of the iceberg is revealed, Chen Mo still wants to know more.

The patriarch of Dugu nodded and glanced at Dian Wei, people are ugly, but the strong on the grassland are respected, and the requirements for appearance are not high, the important thing is to be strong, this is very consistent with this, Dian Wei is very consistent, the good-looking women on the grassland are mostly noble daughters, and you can still find a few.

After this matter was settled, Chen Mo began to talk to the patriarch about some future planning, after all, the patriarch's daughter was married to Chen Mo's general, and the two sides were also closer.

And now the Dugu Ministry also intends to move inward, Chen Mo now hopes that they will be attached, which is naturally in line with the Dugu Ministry's thoughts, but the issue of this right is still to be discussed.

Dugubu is a mode of farming and grazing, and can also cultivate, but the annual rainfall north of the Great Wall is insufficient, which is not suitable for farming, which is also the reason why many tribes move inward.

But in terms of folk customs, there is a great surprise between Hu and Han, if you want to forcibly integrate, it is impossible in a short period of time, and it is also unrealistic, the household registration system of the Han Dynasty is not applicable to the highly mobile Hu people.

Therefore, Chen Mo is here, and he decided to rule in the way of the Hu people, that is to say, as long as he is willing to attach it, Chen Mo is equivalent to Shan Yu for them, and he coordinates the people in a single way, but for the Han people here, Chen Mo is still the assassin of the state, and the city here will gradually recover and become the hub between these attached people and the Han Dynasty.

Of course, there are some corresponding laws, which are not too complicated, only a few.

First of all, choose the tribe that is attached and must speak Chinese

Second, in order to ensure population growth and worry about the damage of children in the war, the government will establish a special government office for children under the age of five to raise them in a unified manner

Third, considering that the Hu people and the Han people have different livelihoods, new taxes will be set up, as long as they are willing to pay taxes to the imperial court, they can not only enjoy the help of the government office to raise children, but also get subsidies in terms of food and daily necessities

Of course, in addition, if Chen Mo is called for war on his side, the registered tribe needs to send soldiers to help in the battle.

In addition, for the marriage between the two races, Chen Mo is encouraging, as for whether there will be relevant policies, it depends on the follow-up, now it is a draft discussed with the Dugu Ministry, and it will be continuously repaired with the people's feelings in the future, in addition, for the Xianbei tribe who are willing to be attached, Chen Mo also has a welcome attitude, but the premise is that it must be registered, in addition, there will be a permanent garrison in the cloud to guard against the invasion of foreign enemies, Chen Mo accepts the annexation, but does not accept the internal migration, and the tribes that are unwilling to accept the annexation will be expelled.

It's not time for full integration, when the time comes, Chen Mo will send someone to Yunzhong County to be the Taishou, and the current policy is only a trial version, new problems will definitely continue to appear, only when problems appear, can we think of solutions, and it is useless to dream here now.

This night, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the next morning, Chen Mo asked people to bring Tuoba Lin to him.

"A few problems, there are several forces in charge of the grassland now, under the command of the leader, there are several large tribes like the Tuoba Department, and there are still distributions." Chen Mo looked at Tuoba Lin and said with a smile: "Answer me, I can accept the ransom of the Tuoba tribe." ”

"Do you think I'll say?" Tuoba Lin looked at Chen Mo with disdain.

"Why not?" Chen Mo sat down and said with a smile: "It can be seen that you are a tough guy and will not be succumbed to the pain of flesh and skin, but things in this world are all based on value, this information, even if you don't say it, I can get the answer with some manpower, so the value is just some time, but I am not short of time now, that is to say, these questions, the difference between saying it from your mouth and finding it out by myself is not big." ”

"Tell you this, you'll have to let me go." After thinking for a moment, Tuoba Lin looked at Chen Mo and said.

"It's impossible to let go, I said, I only accept the ransom, I should be punished for doing wrong, since the founding of my Han Dynasty, those who insult my Han have never had a good end, I accept the ransom, it is already a favor to you." Chen Mo smiled.

"Then why do I say that!?" Tuoba said angrily.

"At least then you have a chance to regain your freedom and suffer less." Chen Mo smiled.

"I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of punishment?" Tuoba said proudly.

"Actually, you may have some misunderstandings about punishment, whipping, beating the board is just an ordinary punishment, we have a lot of punishments, the bloody ones can be delayed, cut off the flesh on your body piece by piece, each piece is only one or two, it will take three hundred and sixty knives to let you die, if it is literary and artistic, you can keep you awake, trapped alive, people will eventually die, death is naturally not terrible, but the terrible thing is that life is not as good as death, there are many such punishments, but I don't know how long you can support it? For the sake of this information that can be obtained by asking carefully, is it really worth it to be tortured to live rather than die? Chen Mo asked with a smile.

Tuoba Lin suddenly felt that the tricks he used to treat the Han people last night were very naïve, looked at Chen Mo, licked his lips and said, "Xianbei in the east is the most active on the grassland now......

In the end, Tuoba Lin still explained all these things.

"Why did you come to Dugu this time?" Chen Mo nodded, this information was similar to what he knew.

Tuoba Lin frowned and looked at Chen Mo: "The question just now has been answered, and I refuse to answer anything else." ”

"But I only said that I would allow the Tuoba Department to redeem people, but I didn't say that I would just answer those questions." Chen Mo smiled.

"Despicable!" Tuoba Lin glared at Chen Mo and roared.

"It's your misunderstanding, it's not about me, this question is the key to whether or not you can go back." Chen Mo looked at Tuoba and said, "I have to be sure what the Tuoba Ministry's attitude is towards my big man?" ”

After hesitating for a moment, Tuoba Lin said the purpose of his southward trip, Chen Mo's guess was right, Tuoba did have the intention of moving south, since last year, the water trough on the grassland began to decrease, which is a disaster for herdsmen who rely on grazing for a living, which is also an important reason for Xianbei's frequent southward raids in the past two years.

However, they hope to let the Dugu Department take the lead and test the big Han before making a decision.

Chen Mo nodded and asked another question.

"You're lying to me again!"

"I only said it was the key, but I didn't say the whole thing."

Once the bottom line of a person is broken, many things will be much easier, no one knows whether Tuoba Lin is a tough guy or not, but his bottom line has been torn apart step by step under Chen Mo's inducement, until the end, almost all the information he knows has been said, when Tuoba Lin left Chen Mo's big tent, his eyes were blank and his legs were floating, if Fei Badin had been guarding the door and knew that nothing unhealthy had happened inside, he would have suspected what happened to Tuoba Lin by Chen Mo.
