Volume 15 Han Ji VII (2)

Chao Cuo said again: "I heard that when Qin attacked the land of Huyue, it was not to defend the border land to save the people's lives, but to expand the territory for greed. Therefore, the merit was not established and the world was in chaos. If you raise an army and do not know the purpose of raising an army, you will be captured in battle, and you will die of hard work. The people of Hu Raccoon dog are hardy of cold, and the people of Yang Yue are hardy of heat. The soldiers of the Qin State are intolerant of its water and soil. Therefore, the warrior dies on the side, and the loser abandons the way. Qin Min saw the line, such as abandoning the city. Therefore, they had no choice but to requisition those who were degraded and guarded the border, and called them soldiers. First of all, those who deserve to be degraded, and those who are sons-in-law. Later, people who had broken the law were requisitioned. Later, his eldest parents, whose parents had a criminal record, were included in the levy. The soldiers were lost on the way, tired and resentful, and there was the harm of ten thousand deaths, and there was no retribution. After death, there is no benefit at all, and the people of the world know that disaster will affect them, but they are helpless. Therefore, Chen Shengxing went to Daze, and he was the first to advocate for the people of the world, and the people of the world followed it like flowing water. This is because the Qin people used it to threaten it. The food and clothing of the Hu people did not settle in one place like our Han people, but they moved back and forth, and went from time to time, so they were easy to disturb the border. Look for opportunities, and when you see a few guards, you will enter the jam. If Your Majesty does not save him, the border people will be desperate. And there is a heart to surrender the enemy. If you go to the rescue, if there are fewer troops, it will not be enough to chase the Kou, and if the troops are too large, you will toss and turn, and the army will reach the border, and Hu Kou has gone. If the soldiers gather and do not stop, it will be very expensive. If the army is dismissed, Hu Kou will come again. If this continues year after year, China will be poor and the people will be uneasy.

His Majesty was worried about the border and sent generals to control the fortress, which was a great favor for the border people. However, today, the soldiers in the distance are guarding the fortress, and the age is alternate, and they don't know the ability of the Hu people. Unable to match the Hu people. It is better to elect people who have been guarding the border for a long time, so that they can start a family and start a business on the border, and set up high cities and deep moats, and set up cities and towns in key places, the way through the border to the river, and there are no less than 1,000 families in each city. Farming and weaving in peacetime, defending the country in wartime.

The specific way is to first establish a city in the border fortress, prepare the tools for plowing the fields, recruit civilians, exempt the lord, and return to his family's conscription. And gave him winter and summer clothes and food, so that he could be self-sufficient for a year. The people who are plugged down are not rich in profit, and they must not be allowed to dwell in a place of peril for a long time. If the Hu people enter the prison and can guarantee that the grain and livestock will not be robbed by the Hu people, half of them will be rewarded to him. The county magistrate can redeem it at a discount and not disappoint. In this way, Tongyi rescued each other, and went to Hu without avoiding death. Of course, this is not for the sake of preserving the Lord's righteousness, but for the sake of their relatives and their mutual benefit. This is 10,000 times worse than the soldiers in the east, who are afraid of riding because they are not accustomed to the terrain.

At the time of His Majesty, the people migrated to the real side, so that there was no thing to garrison in the distance, and the people who were plugged down were protected by father and son. There is no more danger of captivity. Lishi descendants, the name of Shengming. This is too far from Qin Xing's resentment of the people. ”

The emperor recruited people to migrate from his words. Chao Cuo said again that His Majesty recruited the people to make the matter of the garrison benefit the province, and the cost of losing the generals was scarce. That's a huge deal. If the subordinates are honest and benevolent, they can show mercy to the old and weak who have migrated, meet their strong men well, and reconcile their hearts without encroaching on them, so that those who come first can be happy and do not miss their hometowns, then the poor can recruit and persuade each other.

The minister heard that the people who migrated in ancient times first lived the sum of yin and yang, tasted the taste of their water springs, and then built a city. Cherry cut house. First build a house for them and place utensils. that the people may have a place to live and be useful. This is the reason why the people go to their hometown lightly and return to Xinyi. In addition, they will be given witches to save the sick. to repair the sacrifice. In this way, they are married to men and women, sympathize with each other in life and death, follow each other in graves, plant trees and livestock, and have a complete house. In this way, the people can be happy and have the heart to live for a long time. The minister also heard that in ancient times, the people made the border counties prepare for the enemy, so that the five families were united, and the army had a captain. Ten long and one mile, there are false soldiers in it. Four miles and one company, even with five hundred false. Ten even one yi, there is a fake waiting in the city. All of them choose the talents in the city. They are all people who learn the terrain and know the hearts of the people, and if they live, they will teach the people how to shoot, and when they go out, they will teach the people to deal with the enemy. Therefore, if the army is completed internally, the military and political affairs will be determined externally. Once the service is complete, let them not be allowed to move again. The young swim together, and the elder work together. Knowing each other's voices during night battles is enough to save each other. Knowing each other during the day and war, the heart of love is enough to die for each other. In this way, if you persuade you to reward them generously and punish them severely, you will have no disadvantage.

In addition, the people who migrated were not strong and talented, but they were not allowed to be reused, and although they were talented, they were not good officials, and they would not be meritorious. His Majesty will not make peace with him, and the ministers will definitely come south this winter, and if they want to establish their authority, they will give him a heavy blow. If he comes and does not make him difficult, but lets him go triumphantly, it will not be easy to make him surrender later. “

Chao is a person who is straight and deep, and he is fortunate to be fortunate to the prince with oral arguments. The prince's family called him a wise man.
