To be honest, Chen Kangbo somewhat betrayed Cai's trust in him.

More than a month has passed since Chen Kangbo arrived in Ulzhou, but Ulzhou has not improved, and it cannot be compared with Yingzhou and Shuozhou at all.

In fact, not only Chen Kangbo disappointed Cai, but even Li Gang was a little disappointed Cai.

Later, Li Gang also came to Ulzhou, and he also retreated in Ulzhou because the people in Ulzhou City took the initiative to surrender, and as a result, in exchange for the people in Ulzhou City, they looked like they were separated.

The end result is that whether it is farming, resumption of production, or enlistment in the army, Ulzhou is far from being able to compare with Yingzhou and Shuozhou.

This made Li Gang and Chen Kangbo finally realize how clever the political department created by Cai Ying, and then began to admire Cai Ying!

With such admiration, Li Gang and Chen Kangbo welcomed Cai into Ulju City.

As soon as they met, Cai still asked Li Gang and Chen Kangbo: "What have you done since you came to Ulzhou City?" ”

Li Gang glanced at Chen Kangbo.

Chen Kangbo sighed and said, "Xia Guan issued six orders in place of the Hou Ye and the imperial court......

As Chen Kangbo said, after he came to Ulzhou, he issued six decrees on behalf of Cai Yi and the Zhao and Song courts:

1. Give amnesty to Ulzhou Prefecture and County.

The so-called forgiveness refers to the pardon of criminals in one or several places individually - except for those who disobey orders and rebel, all other criminals, regardless of the size of their crimes, are pardoned and released immediately.

In addition, use them according to their talents, so that each of them will have his own right.

2. Eliminate the rate of science and technology, that is, exempt Ulju Prefecture and county from all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and provide relief (that is, grain) to the poor and hungry people, so as not to displace the people.

3. Zhen promoted talents, for Ulzhou Prefecture and County, those who cherished talents and arts, and disappeared in the people, or those who were recommended by the township but did not try them, as well as those who offended the powerful or were rejected by the powerful because of their loyalty, as well as officials who were convicted because of mistakes, regardless of Han people, Khitan people, Xi people, and Bohai people, were screened and promoted.

Fourth, Feng Congwen dedicated the city to righteousness, and was promoted to the general judgment of Ulzhou, and the rest of the people who donated the city were richly rewarded.

5. Regardless of the Han people, or the Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Zhubu and other colored people, change my Hanfu within 10 days, and keep your hair within three months.

Sixth, whether it is the Han people, or the Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Zhubu and other colored people, they are all Song people, and the court treats them equally.

7. The Chinese nation is a country of civilization and etiquette, with a long history, and since ancient times, the ancestors of the Chinese people of all nationalities have labored, lived, and multiplied on the land of China, and jointly contributed their talents to the Chinese civilization and the establishment of a unified multi-ethnic country......

After listening to the last decree issued by Chen Bokang, Cai Ying's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: "In the end, he was a genius who came up with the idea of national integration, and wanted to use it to solve Yanyun's national problem." ”

Li Gang added on the side: "Xia Guan thinks that Chen Zhizhou's idea is still good, but this method may take more time to take effect. ”

Cai still agreed: "National integration is the integration of equal ethnic groups on the basis of long-term common growth, the commonality between ethnic groups gradually increases, migration and intermarriage, and all ethnic groups learn from each other and develop together, which indeed requires a long process." ”

Cai still changed his tone and said: "However, national integration also needs a foundation, at least another or several other ethnic groups are willing to put down the mustard and integrate with us wholeheartedly, and then through living and learning together, it is possible to achieve ethnic integration. ”

Chen Kangbo is not the extraordinary prime minister in history, now he is just a young official who has just entered the Shishi and his first year, and has just entered the officialdom for a long time, after encountering this setback, he couldn't help but say: "Xianggong, before the next official came, he may have thought about things simply......

Truly.

Ulzhou, or the whole of Yanyun, has extremely serious ethnic problems.

There are many ethnic groups living here, such as Han, Khitan, Xi, Bohai, and Zubu.

On the bright side, the Khitan, Xi, Bohai, and Zubu people here have a very high degree of sinicization and a very high identification with the Han people, which laid the foundation for Cai to completely subdue the people of these ethnic groups.

The bad side is that at the same time as the Sinicization of the Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Zubu and other ethnic groups, the Han people living here are also Huhua.

Because the Han people in this area began to get along with the ethnic minorities for a long time during the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and then lived under the rule of the Liao Dynasty for nearly 200 years, their national character and living customs have undergone a deep "Huhua", that is, the phenomenon of ethnic minorities, which has produced a huge difference from the Han people in the Central Plains.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty, out of discrimination against the "Huhua" Han people, referred to them as "fan" and "captive".

The Liao Dynasty used imperial examinations, official appointments, and marriages to make the Yanyun Han people loyal to themselves, but they did not trust most of the Yanyun Han people who were "not of my race" and placed them at the bottom of society.

Even when the Jin ruled the Yanyun region, they were politically excluded from the ruling class after the Jurchens, Bohai people, Khitans, Zubu people and other ethnic groups while reusing some Han ministers of the Liao Dynasty.

The Liao, Song, and Jin dynasties all adopted a method of both wooing and repelling the Yanyun Han people.

It can be said that Yanyun Han people are grandmothers, and they don't love their uncles.

As a result, the Yanyun Han people are not only increasingly isolated in terms of national identity, but also have no fixed tendency in political attitudes.

Plus the pure Han people that Cai still brought.

The ethnic problem here is indeed serious, so serious that it is difficult to reconcile Li Gang and Chen Kangbo, two famous talents.

Of course, this is also because Cai is still too anxious, if Li Gang or Chen Kangbo are given enough time, they who have already proposed to solve these problems with the method of national integration, they should also be able to solve these problems.

It's just that this method is too time-consuming, and Cai still can't wait and is not willing to wait for so long.

Chen Kangbo also knew that Cai was still in a hurry, so he continued: "Xiaguan is stupid, and after Xiaguan thinks about it, there may be only one way to solve this problem now." ”

Cai still asked, "What's the solution?" ”

Chen Kangbo said: "I dismissed the post of Zhizhou of the lower official and reappointed Feng Congwen as the Zhizhou." ”

How smart Cai is still to not know that Chen Kangbo means to use the state system and the tribal system of the feudal prefecture or the provincial and tribal system with a strong feudal division and tribal color, and to hand over the military power to the local tyrant chiefs.

Moreover, Chen Kangbo also put forward a specific candidate - Feng Congwen.

It has to be said that this is indeed a feasible method proposed by Chen Kangbo, just like the Zhe family and Zhao Song, although they listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, but the Zhe family really guarded the frontier for Zhao Song for nearly two hundred years, and countless Zhe family members died for Zhao Song.

The point is, the results are immediate.

I have to say that in this special period, Chen Kangbo's proposal is indeed the best choice at present, and it is also a choice that can be vigorously promoted - it is conceivable that as long as Cai still adopts the state system and the tribal system of the feudal prefecture or the provincial and provincial Zhengzhou ruling system and mechanism with a strong feudal town division and the color of the feudal tribes, and hands over the military power to the local tyrant leaders who took the lead in surrendering, there will definitely be more people who will donate the city in the future.

In fact, the reason why Feng Congwen and the others donated the city was not for the sake of righteousness, but for profit.

What Feng Congwen and the others are looking forward to is the state system and the tribal system or the provincial and provincial government system with a strong feudal division and tribal color, and they hope that Cai will still hand over the military power to them, the local tyrant leaders who took the lead in surrendering.

This is also the reason why they began to use an attitude of non-resistance and non-cooperation to deal with Chen Kangbo after Cai still sent Chen Kangbo, in the final analysis, they did not want the people sent by Cai to rule them, they wanted to rule themselves.

And Chen Kangbo really had no idea where to start in the face of Feng Congwen and others who had no merit and no resistance, and as a result, he became the current immortal.

After listening to what Chen Kangbo said, Cai still looked at Li Gang.

Li Gang understood that Cai still wanted to hear his opinion.

Li Gang said: "The lower officials agree with Chen Zhizhou's idea, you can stabilize them first, and then slowly try to figure it out in the future." ”

Cai still knew that Chen Kangbo and Li Gang's proposal was a good policy.

Moreover, Tsai still understands that politics is a game of compromise.

But Cai still didn't want to open this opening.

Because once this opening is opened, it will definitely be endless troubles and hidden dangers.

And Yanyun is the land of Longxing that Cai still prepared for himself, and he can't have these troubles and hidden dangers.

Therefore, Cai still said: "The natural integration of ethnic groups is the result of the close connection between ethnic groups in terms of economy, culture and living habits, and it is a process of mutual infiltration, and there are two specific manifestations: one is that the backward ethnic groups gradually integrate into the advanced ethnic groups under the strong influence of the economic and cultural characteristics of the advanced ethnic groups, such as the sinicization of the Xiongnu ethnic group from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties. First, some members of the advanced nationalities merged into the backward nationalities because they were trapped in the vast sea of backward nationalities, such as Chunwei in the summer period, Zhao Tuo in the Qin and Han dynasties, Huan Dan in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Gao Huan in the Northern Qi Dynasty. ”

Li Gang and Chen Kangbo are both extremely smart people, and as soon as Cai still speaks, they understand that Cai still does not agree with their proposal.

Really!

Cai continued: "There are two situations or ways in which one nation merges with another. One is to make one nation merge with another nation through natural processes through economic and cultural effects; The other is the use of political coercion to merge one nation into another. You only use the former to assimilate the people in Ulju, of course, you can't complete ethnic integration in a short time, in fact, the faster and more effective way is the latter. ”

Li Gang and Chen Kangbo's hearts froze at the same time, and they said secretly: "It's over, Master Hou has a murderous intention!" ”
