Some tribes want to be dissatisfied with Daqin, and it is estimated that other tribes will have to think carefully about the pros and cons.

"Fifth brother, when you say this, I just remembered, isn't this our strategy against the Khitan and Xi at the beginning? It's just that Khitan and Xi have always been friendly with us and are very loyal, and nothing unpleasant has happened over the years. ”

Luo Cheng nodded, "Xi Qi two departments, although the two counties set up now are not the main counties of the imperial court, but there are eight counties under each of the two counties, although the king of Xi and the Khitan king seem to be more calling for wind and rain than in the past, but in fact, the following departments are more obedient to the orders of the imperial court." Nowadays, a large number of castles, fortresses, and villages have appeared in the two realms of Xiqi, and many tribal leaders are now lords and nobles, with many granges and pastures under their hands, and many original tribesmen have also become yeoman farmers or free herdsmen, of course, there are also many people who have directly become the slaves of the leaders. ”

Raole County and Songmo County, which were set up by the two departments of Xi Qi, are now full of castles, full of trade points, and large areas of farmland have been opened up along the river. Many Han immigrants entered with the Han Liuguan, and merchants flocked to it.

The current Xi Qi nobles have slowly begun to sinicize, in front of the officials of Daqin, holding Daqin's Yulu, wearing Daqin's official robes, and even began to grow Daqin's hairstyle, give Han names, and learn to speak Chinese. They began to live a settled life, no longer living by water and grass, no longer living a nomadic life.

Although there are still many pastures on the grasslands, for those nobles, this is just their own inheritance.

In less than ten years, Luo Cheng has implemented Xi Qi's assimilation strategy very well.

Now that Shixin heard it, the strategy of dealing with the Tatar people was not an improved version of Xi Qi's strategy at the beginning.

The Emperor sighed.

"Actually, whether it's the northern barbarian or the southern barbarian, they just want to live a more stable life, if this stable day can have more oil and salt, it will be even more delicious."

In the past, why did the frontier easily become a battlefield, and why did the barbarians on the four sides like to enter the army?

In the final analysis, they are too poor and have a hard life, while the Han family in the Central Plains has a too good life, in their eyes, it is a person who can be envied and drools.

The life of a frontier barbarian leader may not be as good as a homesteader in the Central Plains.

But the Central Plains often does not trade with these barbarians, and they don't share good things with them, and they don't sell them. If it was usual, the barbarians would have endured it, after all, they couldn't beat the Han family in the Central Plains.

But sometimes the barbarians will also encounter famine and the like, the barbarians have a lower ability to bear the famine than the Han people, especially the tribes in the northern grasslands, once they encounter a plague or a heavy snowstorm, the sheep will freeze to death, and they will not be able to hold on. So, either they robbed the other tribes, or they had to go to the south.

In the year of the catastrophe, the other tribes were the same, so they had to go south.

Although it is said that robbing to the south, in most cases, it is to be able to grab a lot of good things at the beginning, but then there will always be severe retaliation from the Central Plains, unless it is in the case of civil strife in the Central Plains.

"After all, as long as the barbarians have a secure life, they are not actually the kind of outlaws."

"There is a good saying, those who have constant production have perseverance. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, if it is jade, who wants to collide with tiles? ”

"The fifth brother always speaks with a string of truths." Shi Xindao.

"This is not the truth of the fifth brother, but it has been summed up by our sages in the Central Plains since ancient times. Our Han family has also experienced calamities, why is it still standing? It is because we are compared with the barbarians, we have words and thoughts, and our Han civilization can be passed down from generation to generation, and it will not be destroyed after disasters! ”

Luo Cheng thought of one thing, in later generations, Cambodia discovered Angkor Wat, and a powerful Angkor dynasty that disappeared for 500 years was rediscovered.

At its peak, the mighty Angkor dynasty included all of Cambodia, part of Thailand, Laos, Burma and Vietnam, making it the most powerful dynasty in the history of Southeast Asia.

But the descendants of the Angkor Dynasty, the Khmer people in Cambodia discovered the Angkor Dynasty, but they never knew or believed that this powerful dynasty was actually established by their ancestors, they always thought that this Angkor Dynasty was established by the Angkor people in history, and they did not believe that their Khmer ancestors were once so wide.

This is the greatest sorrow.

Their history, in the end, has to be found in the historical records of China, and even the roots have been forgotten.

"On the grassland, how many powerful tribes have risen, and even once overrode the head of the Han family in the Central Plains, but as a result, although my Han family has risen and fallen, it is only the person who sits on the throne dragon chair, but it is still our Han family who sits in the world. But what about the grassland, the Xiongnu, Rouran, and the Turks, one after another, all of them are in a hurry to rise and die. ”

Luo Shixin lost his mind slightly.

"What the fifth brother said is indeed the truth, those barbarians used to be very fierce, but since they traded with us, they have been very docile and enthusiastic when they saw us and shook their tails and nodded."

"That's because you brought them the goods they wanted, and they exchanged the worthless fur herbs and other things in their hands for the good things that were extremely precious in their eyes, they felt that they had earned and their lives were more convenient, and even the flour, rice, salt, tea, etc., which made their lives well-fed and tasteful, and the doctors and medicines you brought with them treated many diseases of the tribesmen with backward medical skills and saved the lives of many of their relatives, so of course they welcomed you."

"Remember, when the Tatars come to trade, just collect taxes from them, and even if you do taxes, they will accept them. But don't collect any poll tax or anything like that, and don't force them to do slavery, etc. ”

After all, the transaction tax is just a little money, but the person tax is a direct collection of money.

"There is another point, it is forbidden for Qin merchants to lend usury to those tribesmen, it is strictly forbidden!"

Luo Cheng remembered that during the Ming and Qing dynasties, many Central Plains businessmen went to the grassland to do business, and they liked to trick the herdsmen, what to give the goods first and then collect the money, and even let the herdsmen use calves and lambs to pay for the goods, and then the herdsmen raised them, and the cattle and sheep could only be taken away in the autumn.

All kinds of routines emerge in endlessly, and the herdsmen have never engaged in these profiteers, and the result is that countless herdsmen have been bankrupt by the routines, and finally have endless hatred for the Han merchants.

"Businessmen are mercenary, and they know how to make money, but they have to be based on the business that you are willing to buy, and you can't deceive and deceive, fair trading can last for a long time, and the business of engaging in that kind of routine and deception is not long-lasting, you are in Haidong, you must grasp this aspect. You're welcome to such profiteers! ”
