Since the end of the year is approaching in two months, many things have to be done before the holiday. Therefore, everyone is relatively busy these days, and Li Xin also has to deal with a lot of official documents every day. In general, the situation is not bad now! After all, under the successive victories, whether it is the surrounding forces or the counties below, they are basically very calm. This is especially true for the common people.

"The weather is getting colder, and we must instruct the local government to inspect the people's residences! For those houses that may be in danger, be sure to be prepared and help repair them before the rain or snow. Another one, the road leading to various places must be arranged to be patrolled regularly, and it must be kept unblocked! Li Xin convened a meeting of six ministries to make arrangements for what would happen next.

"Officials in various localities must seize the time to make arrangements in place, and must not leave the local government in a state of ownership. For the food and grass of the garrisons in various places, it must also be transported properly as soon as possible, especially in some remote places, once the heavy snow covers the mountains, I am afraid that they will be isolated from the world! ”

The officials below listened to his words and recorded them carefully. These things, after all, have actually been done in the past. It's just that in the past, unlike this year, there were so many officials and departments there! So, relatively speaking, it will be more efficient today.

"By the way, I especially want to tell all localities to be prepared for the opening of schools in various places after the beginning of spring next year. This is an important matter for cultivating talents, and it must be taken care of by officials everywhere! ”

said a lot of things freely, and with the suggestions and additions of the officials, basically, Li Xin arranged all the aspects. As long as you follow these requirements, it is unlikely that there will be major problems.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed, and Li Xin took out the map as usual, lying on the table and looking at it intently. There is no way, there is no network at this time, let alone satellites, so I have to rely on this simple map.

Li Xin's map has many places marked by him, such as Jixian County, where he drew a red five-pointed star, and Jinyang, where he wrote a Taiyuan. In addition, there are many markings, which Wang Meng and others have also seen before, but they just don't understand.

Li Xin has many plans, big and small. These plans were all based on the historical knowledge he remembered, and combined with the current map. To a large extent, the actions of the Huashan Army in the past two years have basically revolved around these plans.

"Alas, it's hard! Now it seems that the places around that are easy to fight are basically in their own hands. Now the rest are basically hard bones! It seems that this battle will have to be fought in the future! After watching it for a while, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh.

"General Qiyu, General Peng is back and is asking to see you outside!" Just as Li Xin was sighing, the guards outside the door suddenly came in to report.

"Oh? Why didn't he send a message in advance when he came back! Let him in! Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then ordered.

Soon, Penlin appeared in front of him. I haven't seen him for more than two months, and it seems that he has experienced some ups and downs, and obviously, during this time over there, he has not been too comfortable.

"The last general will see the general!"

"Excuse me! You came back alone? Nodding, Li Xin asked.

"The last general brought a few people back to report the news first, Wu Shilang and the team are behind, and in about ten days, they will return to Guanzhong!"

"That's it! Did the trip go well? All is well! Hearing this, Li Xin was a little relieved.

"Yes! The last general and Lord Wu went to Tuguhun and other tribes, at the beginning, the other party was very cold, although it was not unfavorable to us, but it was a chieftain who couldn't see them for a long time! However, after General Zhou moved to increase the troops in Lao Crow Fort, their attitude changed, and the last general and Lord Wu met their chiefs before they had the opportunity to say their purpose! ”

"I heard that the other party didn't agree to our conditions at first, why did you agree later?"

"Tuguhun and the rest of the Hu tribe have great differences on how to deal with us. Some small tribes are willing to make friends with us, especially those that are relatively close to Qinzhou. Relatively speaking, the farther away from Qinzhou, the closer the tribes in the bitter cold land, the more unwilling they are to associate with us, and there are even some tribes who want to kill us! The two factions were so at loggerheads that they remained at a stalemate. Fortunately, later General Zhou and his troops took Jincheng County and Xiping County with lightning speed, so that the Hu people living near the West Sea were finally afraid. As a result, the Hu people, who advocate friendship with us and are willing to submit to us, account for the majority. The last general and Lord Wu lived up to their mission and brought back 10,000 good horses! Peng Lin said in detail.

"Well, it's not okay to just talk about kindness! We already know this, so it is clear that the initial preparation was correct. As you say, how would those people give in if they hadn't seen our strength? If there is no matter in Liangzhou, I'm afraid we will really have to fight with Tuguhun and them! That place is more bitter and cold than these places in Xiping County, which is very unfavorable for our soldiers! If the matter can be solved in this way, it can be regarded as a complete thing! Thank you for your hard work, this time to be able to complete the task and return, it is a great achievement! Li Xin nodded, still very satisfied with this result.

"In addition to the good horses, there are also messengers from various tribes who come with him! The last general felt that since the other party was willing to surrender, he could not just talk about it, and he had to come to see the general official. At the same time, you have to make a contract! Peng Lin continued.

Li Xin agreed with his idea very much, and said: "You think very well, this is what should be done." However, this time we rely on force to force them to submit, after all, it is not a long-term solution. If we want those Hu tribes to really submit to us and integrate into the jurisdiction of our Huashan Army, we must rely on other methods! ”

"What is the general's plan? If these problems can be solved, and in the future, the Tuguhun and other clans will no longer rebel and rebel, and it will be a great thing! Hearing this, Peng Lin couldn't help asking.

He himself is a Qiang ethnic group, and he knows the habits of the Hu people very well. Since the environment in which the Hu people live is basically a bitter and cold place, this has developed the mentality of only submitting to the strong in their character.

Today they are willing to surrender because they know that they are not the opponent of the Huashan army. And if one day they feel that the Huashan Army is not strong enough, they may directly become enemies of the Huashan Army. There are too many such things in the past history.

"I've thought about it! Since they have chosen to submit to us, they must follow our rules. In the early days, the sons and nephews of the nobles and chieftains of the Hu clan had to enter the school in Longxi County! It is good for them to study more Confucian classics and learn more human etiquette! When the time comes, just promote it further! ”

There is nothing more useful than changing one's mind, and Li Xin has learned too much from some rogue states in later generations.

Moreover, the cost is extremely low, and there is no need to use knives. As long as the idea of great unification and the idea of Chinese civilization can be disseminated and carried forward, then it is possible for all ethnic groups to get along in relative harmony under the rule of the Huashan Army.

Of course, Li Xin also knows how difficult it is. In particular, I am afraid that by the time I die, I may not be able to see the harmony of all ethnic groups. But he can't stop doing it because it's hard.

If he hadn't done it, the rest of the people wouldn't have done it at all. Because for a long time, China's ruling class will not be aware of this, and will not think of destroying the enemies around it, in fact, cultural export is also a way.

If this thing succeeds, then in the future, even if one dynasty after another perished, as long as the knowledge is passed on, then the idea of great unification will always exist in people's hearts.

In this case, no matter who rules the world, he will have to work this aspect. Otherwise, he would be the enemy of the world.

"You have worked hard all the way, go down to rest first, and in two days, you will go to the Guanshan Military Horse Farm with me to have a look, and prepare to meet those good horses!" By the way, go and call Xue Zan in for me! Seeing that Peng Lin was really tired, Li Xin didn't say anything more.

"The last will retire!" After Peng Lin saluted, he turned and left.

Not long after, Xue Zan walked in.

"General, what do you have to tell your subordinates?"

"Now the schools in Guanzhong and Hedong are ready. The original plan was to try it out in these two places first, but now, you have to add one! Li Xin looked at him and said lightly.

"One more? Where? Xue Zan said in surprise.

"Add another one in Xiangwu County! Starting next year, this school will accept a group of Hu people's children to enroll, and you can choose a group of competent gentlemen to come out and send them there! By the way, I personally choose the textbooks they use! ”

"The son of the Hu people? Does the general mean that they should also be enrolled in the same school as the children of ordinary people? Hearing this, Xue Zan couldn't help asking.

His understanding is actually more similar to that of the Han Dynasty. During the Han Dynasty, the country was strong, so there were people from the surrounding countries studying in Chang'an!

"Try it first! Teach them individually, and if it works, decide if they don't treat them the same as the rest of the world! "This kind of thing is not as simple as words, so Li Xin also has to be cautious, especially when it has just started operation.
