Chapter 427: The Field

The war between the Steppe Empire and the Central Plains Dynasty was never just a war between one tribe and another. Perhaps on the side of the Central Plains Dynasty, it was dominated by the Han people. But on the side of the Hu people on the grassland, it is usually a big clan and a small clan, anyway, all the Hu people who graze on the grassland are counted.

For Wu Hui and their trusted subordinates, Li Xin never concealed his thoughts. Therefore, he will directly state his thoughts on recovering the Hetao area, in fact, this is probably what the entire Huashan Army wants to do.

It's just that today's Hetao area is occupied by a large number of Hu people, and among them, the Xiongnu are the mainstay. If the Xiongnu remained united, the Huashan Army would inevitably face a relatively difficult situation if they wanted to take the Hetao area.

After all, even if the Huashan Army dispatches a large army to fight, it will inevitably face a large number of Hu cavalry, and this kind of war is very unfavorable for the current Huashan Army!

This is not a war that can be won by relying on the superiority of numbers, not to mention, in this place of Hetao, even if the Huashan army is in numbers, I am afraid that it will not have an advantage!

If the small tribes attached to the Huns have drawn a line with the Huns, the strength of the Huns will inevitably be greatly weakened. This is naturally a wonderful good thing for Huashan Army.

"How does the general want to win over those miscellaneous beards?" Wu Hui thought for a moment and asked.

"I want to set up a field in the county, you go there in person and make arrangements for this! In this field, except for those things that we prohibit, all other goods that go out of the Saiwai must pass through this place before they can be traded with the Saiwaihu people. From today onwards, all other places from the West River to the first line of the river will be closed to entry and exit, and no business traveler will be allowed to enter or leave! Li Xin said slowly.

"Boom!? What does the general mean, does it mean to hand over the market? Hearing this, Wu Hui understood.

In fact, the word "Rongchang" did not appear until the Song Dynasty, but the trade between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Biansaihu people can be traced back a long time. In the Han Dynasty, it was mainly called the mutual market, and in the Wei and Jin dynasties, it was called the exchange market.

Whether it is a market or a mutual market, or a trading market, in fact, the general idea is almost the same. That is, in some places where the two sides are intertwined, several cities are opened as places for trade between the two sides, but this trade is strictly controlled by the government.

"Yes, it's the market! Let's use what we have in our hands to exchange for what we need from those miscellaneous hands. For example, cattle, sheep, horses, etc., these things are very useful to us. Especially cattle and horses, the Huns were very strict in the past, and we may not be able to buy them even if we want to, but now they are too busy to take care of themselves, so it is very possible! I want to make the county a center that attracts the Hu people in the Hetao area! Li Xin nodded and said slowly.

Although the land in the Hetao area is fertile, the Hu people do not farm, they can only graze. On weekdays, they can naturally live with peace of mind, but now that the Huns are fighting in the north, it is not easy for them to live a peaceful life.

Although there are cattle, sheep and horses, they still have many things that they are not able to support themselves. And these things, they have to exchange them from other places.

They had cattle, sheep, horses, and other goods, while the merchants in Guanzhong had tea, cloth, gold, silver, and other goods, and everyone took what they needed.

The reason why it chose Zhujuan County is because it is now the only county town in the Hetao area under the control of the Huashan Army. Although Sanshui County is about to recover, it is impossible to compare with Xuanjuan County.

Again, Zhujuan County is actually not particularly far from Guanzhong, and it is connected to Jincheng Qinzhou and other places in the west, and Anding Beidi and other counties in the east. The road traffic in these places is good, and for business travel, the cost of traveling will naturally be reduced.

And the opening of only one field will be much less pressure on official control. Once the trade in this place is up, the county will soon prosper. In the future, if you really want to send troops to the Hetao area, it would be better to use the county as a rear base.

At the same time, after the trade with the Saibei Hu people was limited to one place, the place naturally prospered in commerce. And Huashan Army was able to collect a large amount of commercial taxes from it, which naturally brought huge benefits.

Of course, from another point of view, it is to let those Hu people concentrate around the county, and it is best to let them settle down slowly.

When they enjoy the benefits, they will naturally no longer resist the Huashan Army, and they will slowly integrate into the governance of the Huashan Army.

In this way, when the Huashan army regains the Hetao in the future, these people will not only not stop the Huashan army, but may help the Huashan army. Once the Hetao was successfully recovered, these people naturally transformed into the people of the Huashan Army.

"Xia Guan understood, and after arranging the things in hand, he immediately set off to Zhujuan County!" After Wu Hui figured out what Li Xin meant, he hurriedly said.

"Well, before leaving, come to me again, I will write an official letter to Sun Tie, and ask him to cooperate with you~ things! Remember, work hard over there, and you must make this market for me! Of course, we can't afford to lose money! Li Xin nodded and instructed.

"Yes, Xia Guan remembered!" Wu Hui hurriedly responded.

After the arrangement of things in the Hetao area was completed, Li Xin couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed.

With the end of the previous war, the situation around the Huashan Army is basically fixed. Basically, the east and south sides will not change much in a short period of time, so the only ones that can do it are the west and north sides.

Although it is unlikely that a large-scale war will be launched, there is nothing wrong with slowly expanding one's own power like a drizzle.

It's like Qinzhou, it looks like the Huashan army has stopped at Xiping County, but in fact, it's just that the soldiers and horses have stopped.

At this time, it was the economic means that were secretly exerting force, and more and more people from the Department of Commerce and the Ministry of Commerce were active near the West Sea, and they were dealing with the Hu people there.

With the successive victories of the Huashan army, the Qianghu near the West Sea became more and more submissive. In addition, the Huashan army shared the benefits of the West Sea Salt Lake with them, and those Qianghu nobles made a lot of money, so everyone was willing to listen to the Huashan army.

If you have money, everyone earns, hello, hello, everyone! This is what Li Xin thinks now! Of course, this situation cannot last forever, after all, this relationship is too unstable, and maybe the other party will directly rebel at some point.

All Li Xin needs is a period of peace, and his real hope lies in the noble children in the school! The teaching materials of these people have passed through his hands, and the contents are all unified ideas.

I believe that as long as these people go from elementary school to adulthood, they will slowly have a unified concept of freshman in their hearts. There is nothing more effective in conquering a man from his mind, because all other means can only be managed for a while, and only by conquering a man's mind can he be managed for a lifetime.

Li Xin came from later generations, and he has heard too much about this kind of thing, after all, some countries in later generations don't like to do this kind of thing the most! However, those countries are teaching others to learn badly, but Li Xin is teaching others to learn well! There is a very different difference between the two.

The matter of Hu Yi has always been one of the biggest hidden dangers of the Central Plains Dynasty, and there is naturally no problem when the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, but once the Central Plains Dynasty appears to be weak, the first problem may be these Saiwai Hu tribes.

To say that Li Xin felt that the most successful in dealing with Hu Yi was during the Tang Dynasty, especially when Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. After all, not every emperor and dynasty was able to let the Hu people be the forerunner and defend them like he did at that time.

If this concept of unification can be planted into the thinking of the Hu people as early as possible, for Li Xin, it will not be in vain to return to this era.

However, this kind of thing takes a lot longer, so not everyone likes it. Li Xin didn't know what the final effect would be, but he wanted to try this path and maybe succeed!

As we enter March, the work in the fields becomes even busier. Li Xin began to frequently go down to various places to inspect, mainly to see the harvest in various places and see how the lives of the people in various places were doing.

Overall, it's pretty good. God appreciates the food, and everyone is not lazy, and the fields can already see a scene of an imminent harvest.

However, the more critical this juncture, the more unable it is to relax, and this is what Li Xin said the most to officials at all levels. After all, if the weather changes even slightly at this time, everyone's hard work for the whole year may be wasted.

As the weather warms up, the rain in the north gradually increases, especially in the vast area south of the Yellow River Basin, where many places often rain heavily for a few days. The mountain streams converge and meander down into the rivers.

Such a scene, if it happened in Guanzhong, I was afraid that Li Xin would be so angry that he would scold his mother. But for Huan Wen outside Luoyang City, it was great news.

Because of the surging river, Jiangzuo's navy was finally able to go north smoothly through various rivers and rush to support him. In this way, at least there is no need to worry about the problem of food, and there is no need to buy food from the hands of the Huashan army.

After all, although the transaction is normal, for Huan Wen, there is always a sense of grievance in his heart! Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
