Di Lian's worries were not wrong, Yuan Shu had already regarded the Northern Xiongnu as something in his hands, and it was only a matter of time before he swallowed it.

However, now Yuan Shu really didn't have the energy to pay attention to them. The unification of the Han Dynasty is not just about building the northern states that have been won, and it is so easy.

The reason why a big country has a deep national strength lies not only in its heritage, but also in its resource integration. Grain production in the south and horse breeding in the north have integrated the advantages of various places, and the force formed is several times stronger than that of a single place.

"Most of the dozen or so horse-producing places in the south can be removed." After Tian Feng spread out the stacks of case files in his hand, he muttered while carefully reading them.

Guo Jia glanced at the stacks of thick papers, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. Thanks to the popularization of paper now, otherwise if it is replaced with bamboo slips, I am afraid that so many files will not fit in this room.

"Yuan Hao, some of the situations related to the horse farm are all handled by you. You know the general situation, is it necessary to check it so carefully? Guo Jia couldn't help but say.

"The affairs of one country, the plan of a hundred years, how can it be child's play?" Tian Feng said with a straight face.

"Fengxiao, you should also have a horse farm in your hand, right?" On the side, he assisted Tian Feng in his office.

"Definitely. At the beginning, His Majesty secretly asked me, Wenhe, and Gongda to secretly find land to build a horse farm as a backup. These three horse farms are still kept a secret. According to His Majesty, it is owned by the royal family and is not owned by the state. ”

For this kind of thing, Guo Jia never thought of hiding it from the two in front of him. Of course, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi didn't mean to ask in detail, after all, they only needed to know about this matter, and it was useless to ask more.

"In that case, on the basis of the original, two more places can be allocated for the racecourse." Frustrated.

"Hmm." Tian Feng nodded approvingly.

Raising horses in the south itself is a matter of half the effort, and it is difficult to raise good horses in the water and soil of the south.

The reason why the horse farm was set up in the south was because the north was not in the hands of Yuan Shu before. Although the Liaodong Peninsula is in hand, it is not safe. In order to be safe, many horse farms were set up in the south to solve the problem of war horses.

But now, the world is unified. No matter how many horse farms there are in the south, it is useless, and it is better to cut them. Just leave a little spare, and the north is the real suitable place to raise horses.

"If Yangzhou and Yizhou are properly developed, they can feed the world's food. If the roads are improved, there will be little pressure in the north. Frustrated.

That being said, it must not be done. The center of gravity of agriculture is not good, and it is safe in the south. Although the water and soil in the Hetao area live up to the past, there are still large tracts of fertile land marked by His Majesty to the north of Liaodong. If it is properly developed, it is not inferior to Yangyi. Tian Feng said in a deep voice.

"Although the development of various places needs to be adapted to local conditions, there must be no obvious shortcomings."

"But the land in Guanzhong is now exhausted, and it is not suitable for further cultivation, and it will take several years of cultivation to recover. And even so, it will not be enough to support its grain production in the future. Frustrated.

"Although Yizhou has produced a lot of grain recently, but now the center of gravity of our Dachu border is on the west side, and there will be big moves in recent years, and Yizhou's grain is not easy to move. The only way to do this is to continue to transfer grain from Jingyang Prefecture. ”

"The distance between Jingyang and Yangzhou is too far, and it is difficult to count the cost on the road, and it is not a long-term solution." Guo Jia frowned.

Tian Feng sighed lightly, turned his head and looked at the long and curved red line from Jinling to the lower reaches of the Yellow River in the north on the map of Tianxia Prefecture County behind him.

"Your Majesty intends to dig a canal along with the Yangtze River and the Yellow River to facilitate the transportation of grain. Although the amount of work is too large, it seems that now it has to be done. Tian Feng sighed.

"But I am short of manpower now, how to dig such a huge project. You can't pull the people of Yizhou over, right? Frustrated with a frown.

"It must not be so. The construction of Yizhou determined the success or failure of the subsequent Western Expedition to Guishan, and it should not be moved lightly. Guo Jia directly denied it.

"Although it hurts the heavens and the peace, but with the current situation, it seems that some things have to be done." A hint of decisiveness flashed in Tian Feng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice.

"Yuan Hao, what are you going to do?" Guo Jia actually had a guess in his heart.

"There are many men and slaves in the southwestern countries, and it is not in the way to die a little." Tian Feng, who has always been upright, spoke in a slightly gloomy tone at this time.

Everyone present is a human spirit, how can they not hear the sound of the words. This is an understatement, I'm afraid it will be counted in the tens of thousands.

"Isn't that too inhumane? And if it is discovered, I am afraid that it will damage the image of my country. Frustrated Professor couldn't help but say.

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. The population of the southwestern countries is too much. Guo Jia's faint words revealed the essence.

Cultural aggression, ideological aggression, and the size of the population are all crucial. Nowadays, although there are many people in Dachu, there are tens of millions, but the territory is too large, and the north is in ruins. There is simply not enough manpower and energy for the southwestern countries. Although the southwestern countries are scattered and culturally backward, if the proportion of the population is too different, it is difficult to say whether the local people are educated or the Han people are integrated.

Of course, another layer of meaning implied in Guo Jia's words is also obvious.

Distrust of the Maison.

The human heart is the most difficult thing to grasp. When the benefits are large to a certain extent, there will be other thoughts. The current southwestern countries are infiltrated and controlled by the family. Although Yuan Shu used his power while hanging in front of him with a larger bait, it was difficult to ensure that it was foolproof.

"To be able to integrate them into us is the best way to go to the country. For the 10,000-year foundation of our Han people, it is very cost-effective to sacrifice these people. "Tian Feng's righteousness is only for the Han people, and dealing with foreign people is not the kind of rotten Confucianism who is kind to women.

"The canal was dug up, the Yellow River was repaired, the Liaodong Plain was reclaimed, and the water conservancy in the north and the Hetao was repaired. Since you want to do it, it's better to do it all at once. We aim to get all of this done within two years. In this way, we can devote all our energy to the westward expedition. Jia Xu, who had been silently reviewing the dossier, suddenly raised his head and said.

"Wenhe, it's a little too ruthless." The corners of Guo Jia's eyes twitched slightly: "Are you trying to kill all the people in the southwest countries?" ”

"Aren't there still the Japanese people of Fuso? They have a lot more people in recent years. There are also Wuhuan in the north, Xiongnu in the south, and there are many Qiang people in Liangzhou. Jia Xu said lightly.

"Actually, I still have a lot of potential to tap in the Sifang Yidi. In the years of war and chaos of our Han people, they have developed well. ”

When Tian Feng heard this, he seemed to be intent on moving, but he was still slightly hesitant.

Jia Xu continued without raising his head: "There are some things that we Han people don't need to do by ourselves. Infighting is not only a malaise of our Han people, but also a lot of filth of these alien races themselves. With a little guidance, the contradiction will be transferred from our Han people. Now it's my big Chu world, as long as you cover it up a little, who can say anything? Moreover, those who survived contributed so much that it is not impossible to include them in the Han people. ”

"Shhh

When everyone present heard this, they couldn't help but gasp. Sure enough, the person in front of him is a real ruthless person, and he doesn't spit out bones when he eats people.

"Yes." After a little weighing, Tian Feng adopted Jia Xu's suggestion.

He sighed slightly and shook his head. In the case of a few understatements, the fate of millions of people was thus decided. Frustration can already meet the mountain of corpses not far behind.
