Early the next morning, Zhang Yue got up.

As usual, he took Tian Shui, Li Chi and Guo Rong to take a walk on the shore of Yuze Lake.

At this time, the traces left by the war three days ago have gradually disappeared.

On the calm surface of the lake, countless birds play in the water.

In the distance, in the camp of Hu Lu, the smoke curls from the cooking, and it is the women and children of Hu Lu boiling fresh milk, preparing cheese and milk.

This is the most important mode of production for nomads.

It is also the foundation of their livelihood.

Whether it is the Xiongnu or Wuheng, 90% of their diet is composed of various dairy products.

Stopping on the shore of the lake, Zhang Yue looked at the smoke in the distance, and also had an idea in his heart.

"Have you sent all the gifts of condolences and encouragement from this envoy?" Zhang Yue asked Guo Rong beside him, who was responsible for contacting and communicating with the upper and lower levels and other righteous servants.

And Guo Rong also helped Zhang Yue a lot, and made a lot of contributions to him for 'hinting' and 'explicit', winning over and dividing these Cypriot races.

Among them is the drama of 'crying and begging Wang Shi to increase troops' yesterday when Dugu Jing and others set off.

Otherwise, Dugu Jing can be so smart?

"Returning to the servant Zhonggong, the humble has already distributed all the things...... Guo Rong hurriedly replied: "According to the request of the servant Zhonggong, according to the relationship between the household registration and the number of members, the inferior has distributed dozens of stone tea cakes collected from the captain of Changshui and the captain of Huwuheng, as well as hundreds of jars of 'magic medicine' brought by the servant Zhonggong......

"Good!" Zhang Yue nodded, very satisfied.

He positions himself as a salesman.

Sell the Han culture, language, etiquette and system to the salesmen of the various departments in the Makunan.

At the same time, he is also a salesman who sells Han goods to the people of Wuheng.

So far, it's been a good job.

In particular, the Qilu small seafood ordered from Dasi Nong has completely made a name for itself and won the trust of the entire people outside the Saiwai.

It is the promotion of tea, and the progress is somewhat slow.

This is mainly because the people of Wuheng do not have the habit of drinking tea.

There is no tradition of boiling milk tea.

But it doesn't matter, as a traverser, Zhang Yue understands that if you want to open up the market, you must be willing.

So, after he observed that the Wuheng people did not have the tradition of drinking tea and boiling milk tea.

Immediately, Guo Rong was asked to go to the Han army to collect the tea he brought, and gave it to the herdsmen for free and free of charge.

He has even sent someone back to Shanwu to ask for tea cakes.

Send it a few more times, Zhang Yue believes that Wuheng people will fall hopelessly in love with tea.

It's like they're now obsessed with Qilu's little seafood.

As long as these two things are done well, the Wuheng departments in the south of this scene will no longer be able to leave the Han family.

Because, whether it is small seafood or tea, it will become their shackles.

Coupled with the wool textile industry that will develop in the future, their economy will be firmly controlled by the Han family.

"What do you think, what should be done with the luxury?" Zhang Yue asked suddenly.

"This ......" Guo Rong lowered his head and said: "Such a big strategy, the inferior dare not speak falsely!" ”

"Let's talk about it!" Zhang Yue smiled.

"That'...... The humble will dare to say......" Guo Rong said cautiously: "According to the humble opinion, this place can no longer be left to the extravagant people......"

"Luxury must be moved!"

Zhang Yue shook his head when he heard this, and asked, "Who will come here instead of Hu Luxury?" ”

He pointed to Lu Ze, then looked into the distance, and said: "Wait a minute, please see, this Lu Ze stretches for dozens of miles, the water and grass are abundant, and there is salt in the northwest of Lu Ze, which produces salt for most of the livestock in the south of the curtain!" ”

"And with Luze as the center, as for Qingze, it is hundreds of miles in radius, the terrain is flat, and the vegetation is flourishing, no matter who you change, you can quickly prosper and become powerful when you come here!"

"If ambitious people take the opportunity to expand to the southwest, control the Xianyu Sea, and connect the two, they will have the foundation of the king!"

"If the weather is favorable, it can even sweep the world and crisscross the seas!"

The so-called Xianyu Sea is the core of the ranch where the Xianyu Department is now located.

The Xiongnu language called the White Sea, the Hayu Sea, and later generations called it Hulunbuir.

Xianyu Sea and Lu Ze were the land of Longxing that most of the northern nomadic empires that Zhang Yue knew had to control if they wanted to rise.

The strategic position is equivalent to China's Guanzhong and Heluo.

When Guo Rong heard this, he was obviously asked, he thought for a moment and said, "So, how about turning this place into a forbidden area and not allowing nomadism?" ”

Zhang Yue listened, shook his head, and said, "Why are the people not afraid of death!" ”

"On the grassland, as long as there is a pasture and no one is there, someone will occupy it immediately!"

In later generations, the Xianbei people were originally the overlords of the grassland.

They occupy the vast space of Makunan, and no one can challenge their hegemony.

But......

When the Xianbei people went south, entered China, established political power one after another, and moved the population in.

A new and powerful overlord was born more than ten years after the Xianbei people evacuated.

That's Rouran.

A small tribe that no one will pay attention to now and for hundreds of years to come.

The status on the grassland is even inferior to Ding Ling, who is like a rat crossing the street.

This is the fundamental reason why the problem of nomads in the north has not been solved.

As soon as there is a vacuum in this grassland, someone will immediately fill it automatically.

And then it quickly became stronger.

"Can only stay and call luxury?" Guo Rong asked a little unhappily.

"I haven't figured it out yet!" Zhang Yue looked ahead and muttered in a low voice.

It's really a conundrum.

A choice that seems to be problematic no matter how you choose.

The Hulu people must be punished, this place must be guarded to prevent a vacuum, but it cannot be handed over to other Wuheng tribes, that is undoubtedly throwing a piece of fat meat to a vicious dog, he will be grateful now, but maybe in the future.

"Maybe ......" Zhang Yue suddenly thought of something: "I can still do this!" ”

He rubbed his hands, and suddenly he came to his senses.

He immediately took Guo Rong and the others back to the barracks, and then immediately called Sima Xuan and asked, "General Sima, how can you call out the extravagance, except for the generals of the Han army, those people have the highest prestige?" ”

Hu Hao has now been completely dismembered by Sima Xuan.

In the past, the high-ranking nobles were all controlled by the Han army and were ready to be sent to Chang'an for questioning.

In fact, the tribe no longer exists.

At least that's what the Wuheng people think about it.

Sima Xuan thought for a moment and replied, "In the Hui Servant, there are some people with considerable prestige in each camp, who are handling various affairs in the assistant general...... If the waiter needs it, the last general can send someone to invite them! ”

"Good!" Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Please also ask the general to invite them to the envoy...... There were certain things that the envoy had to share with them......"

"No!" Sima Xuangong said: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Half an hour later, more than 20 men dressed differently and looking apprehensive were brought to Zhang Yue.

Unlike the extravagant aristocrats Zhang Yue had seen, many of these people couldn't even speak Chinese, so they could only lie on the ground in a panic and not say a word.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue pursed his lips slightly.

He knew that if he did not intervene, a new aristocracy and ruling class might emerge among these people in the future.

Then, Huhu will become a whole new tribe.

War and turmoil have always been a hotbed for heroes.

But now......

Zhang Yue smiled slightly, and said to them: "You have been waiting for the past few days, assisting General Sima, and you have done a good job, and I am very pleased......

has Sima Xuan on his side, translating in Wuheng language (the senior generals of the Han army generally master several foreign languages, Xiongnu, Wuheng, Yueshi and even Wusun are compulsory courses).

After listening to the translation, his face finally showed some joy, so he kowtowed and thanked him.

Zhang Yue looked at it, shook his head and said, "But what...... In the past, the Hu Luxury Department did not face the Son of Heaven, and secretly communicated with the Xiongnu to murder the Han envoys, and the sins were heavy! ”

These people turned frightened again, and desperately kowtowed to apologize, explaining what words such as 'we don't know' and 'angels forgive our sins'.

Zhang Yue listened to Sima Xuan's translated words, chuckled and shook his head: "This matter should have been naturally known, otherwise, he would not have treated you so magnanimously!" ”

"It's just ......" Zhang Yue stood up straight: "The Han family system, killing people pays for life, hurting people and stealing crimes!" ”

"Even if you don't know it, you are an accomplice and an accomplice!"

"The law of the country is ruthless!"

The men were even more frightened, and begged for mercy desperately.

Judging from the content translated by Sima Xuan, these people really have what conditions they can say in order to seek forgiveness.

Some people expressed their willingness to pay tribute to Chang'an with 10,000 horses every year for ten consecutive years, starting from this year.

And that's just a general condition.

Some people even directly expressed their willingness to pay tribute to Chang'an one-third of the livestock produced by the tribe every year, and they were more willing to contribute gold and treasures to Chang'an every year.

made Zhang Yue feel a little moved when he heard it.

Fortunately, he knew very well that these were just empty promises, just promises from these people in fear.

The ghost knows that it will definitely not be honored.

Not to mention, 10,000 horses a year.

That's almost the number of horses produced by the tribe in a normal year.

Even if they did.

Persevered, but the result could have been worse.

Because in that case, it would be tantamount to the Han family exploiting and oppressing these herdsmen in a cruel and terrible way.

That would only plant the seeds of hatred, not fusion and affinity.

Ten years later, this kind of child will take root, and there will be no peace in Munan!

As a traverser, Zhang Yue understands that true national integration and unity.

It must not be achieved in this way.

The sages and kings had already taught him, and finally through the mouth of Qin Shi Huang, he explained this policy in a simple and detailed manner.

The book is the same text, the car is on the same track, one degree!

Looking at these people, Zhang Yue laughed softly, and his voice was as warm as a spring breeze: "There is no need to exaggerate like this......

"The Son of Heaven and the envoy are not harsh and cruel people like Ji Congee!"

"This envoy thought that in the past, the reason why the Hulu Department deviated from the Son of Heaven and finally set himself on fire was because there was not enough communication with the Han family, and the Hulu people did not know the Han law and Han law......"

"Therefore, this envoy decided to select young and strong people from the Hulu Department and take turns to flow into the Han realm to serve the Son of Heaven......"

"This is not only a punishment, but also a punishment for betraying the Son of Heaven, and it is also an encouragement!"

"Every person who serves and works for the Son of Heaven, after entering the Han realm, this envoy guarantees that they can enjoy the treatment of subjects of the Han family!"

"In terms of salaries and food, just like the Han people!"

"Those who work diligently can also be rewarded and rewarded like the Han people!"

This is Zhang Yue's idea after adjusting and redesigning the original design.

No longer send all the young and strong men to Qilu to dig rivers and build roads.

Instead, they are used as a form of labor.

Moreover, it is no longer a slave-like labor for life.

Rather, it is a worker who has contractual provisions and related benefits and salaries.

The benefits of this are obvious.

First of all, the problem of luxury can be solved.

Think about it, when in the future, those men who have completed their contracts in Hanshire and returned here, will they still be like this?

Definitely not.

The laws, systems, culture, and customs of the Han family will definitely leave a deep imprint on them.

Most of them will become a person who is like a peasant in China's inner counties.

The experience in Neijun will also make them automatically become the identity and defender of the Han regime.

Instead of being as ignorant as now, only knowing the herdsmen who followed the nobles and the chiefs.

This is tantamount to the fact that the Han family has used some resources and money to cultivate a large number of militiamen who guard the border for themselves!

The cost will be far less than that of immigrants from the inner county.

Secondly, it is possible to leave a nail in the place.

The existence of the Hu Extravagant Division, coupled with the protection of the Han army, can effectively prevent this place from falling into the hands of careerists in the future.

Without Tsuzawa, it would have become impossible for either the people in the north of the Makuku who wanted to go south, or the people in the south of the Makunan who wanted to go north.

In this way, in fact, there can be no unified regime in the steppe.

And the price is only a small amount of money and resources.

Moreover, these money and resources are not wasted.

They create value!

Even better, if it's possible.

Then, in the future, the Han family can continue to bring in laborers from the various departments in the south of the country.

Let them dig rivers and build roads, contribute to the infrastructure of the Han family, and then return to Munan to live for the Han people and guard the border.

A virtuous circle will be formed to build a path of national unity, integration and common development.

Make Han and Wuheng a community with a shared future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue was happy.

And the Wuheng 'upstarts' in front of him collectively fell silent after listening to Sima Xuan's translated words.

Go to Han County and serve the Son of Heaven?

In fact, it's actually an honor!

In the past, only those who had made meritorious contributions to the Han family enjoyed such qualifications.

So, they didn't resist, they even rejoiced.

But here's the problem......

"O great angel...... Now that we have lost a lot, if we leave, what will happen to the women and children? "Someone whispered this issue that was of their utmost concern.

The women of the steppe have no concept of chastity.

When the husband is not there, he looks for someone else, which is the most common thing.

Moreover, they have seen with their own eyes these days how widows who have lost their husbands are seduced by men of other tribes.

Although they don't care about having an extra hat on their heads, they are very afraid that if they are not there, the wife of the family will run away with the wild man with the child!

Zhang Yue listened, but smiled slightly, and then solemnly promised: "You can rest assured!" ”

"Those who serve the Son of Heaven will definitely be protected by the Captain of Wuheng!"

"Wait for Han, just go!"

"Your wife is raised by Han, don't worry!"

So he promised a bunch of guarantees such as 'seducing the wife of the servant of the Son of Heaven' and 'punishing those who dare to escape'.

Hearing these people's eyebrows and smiles, they no longer had any scruples, and kowtowed to thank them.
