With encouragement, Jiang Wei cleared his throat and continued to talk about the third benefit of this strategy:

"Due to the long-term war, the land of Guanlong and Liangzhou has greatly reduced the household registration, and the strength of the family has also disappeared, and a large number of fields have been barren, and the situation is roughly the same as in Hanzhong. In other words, the conditions for such a policy are also met. As long as the imperial court successfully tried this field system in Hanzhong, this policy could be replicated in Guanlong and Liangzhou one by one. ”

"The third benefit to be mentioned next is that this Tian Zheng can make the people of Guanlong and Liangzhou return to their hearts, and at that time, the millions of people in Guanxi will no longer be owned by Wei, but also millions of people in Han! As soon as the imperial court sent troops to the Northern Expedition, Guanlong and Liangzhou could not only spread the word, but also gather tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time! ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang had already understood.

He suddenly remembered a conversation between Zhou Wangwen and Jiang Taigong.

At that time, King Wen of Zhou asked Yu Jiang Taigong: How can we make the people of the world attached?

Jiang Taigong replied: The world is not the world of one person, but the world of all people. Those who benefit from the people of the world will win the world; Those who monopolize the interests of the world in the private interests of one person will lose the world.

Since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world, and he has been in power for many years, how can he not know what the hearts of the people mean?

The so-called popular people, first, are guaranteed by the government for their personal safety; The second is the benefit of acres of land.

When the princes were fighting, Cao Wei gave the people of the Central Plains personal security, and the people had been fed back by the fields and were able to settle the Central Plains; Today, however, the lives of the people have become much more stable than in the past.

In this case, if the Han Dynasty wants to defeat Cao Wei, it must start from the "benefit of the people of the world".

If one day the Northern Expedition is successful and the imperial court restores the rule of Guanlong and Liangzhou, then the field system mentioned by Jiang Wei can indeed benefit the people and enjoy it, and it will be able to make the people feel good governance and their hearts to the Han in the shortest possible time.

In this way, the imperial court can not only reduce the garrison that suppresses the people's feelings, but also turn all the soldiers and people of the Wei State into their own use by granting them more land.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang couldn't hide his excitement anymore, suddenly got up, and asked, "What is the name of this field system?" ”

Jiang Wei clenched his fists and said: "It's called the Juntian system!" ”

Zhuge Liang heard this, didn't say a word, and sat back in front of the case to write a book.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei knew that he had moved Zhuge Liang, and couldn't help but show a smile.

The Juntian system was initiated by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty 265 years later, and the land system was implemented until the early Tang Dynasty, with a distribution according to the population, part of the land was owned by him after a certain number of years of cultivation, and part of the land was returned to the government after his death.

As a man of time, he stood on the shoulders of giants and knew the evaluation of the system by later generations.

Later generations affirmed that the equalization system played a positive role in the restoration and development of agricultural production, which was conducive to the dependent peasants getting rid of the control of the powerful clans and transforming them into state households, greatly increasing the number of self-cultivated small peasants under the control of the government, ensuring the source of servitude, and thus strengthening the centralization of the imperial court.

The Juntian system also had a great influence on the field system of later generations, and was successively used by the Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties, and was implemented for more than 300 years, laying a solid material foundation for the Sui and Tang dynasties to unify the world and create a prosperous era.

During the period of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Dynasty undertook the wars of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, which frequently caused a large number of people to lose their lives, produced a large number of wastelands, and the regime was troubled internally and externally, and was in a state of turmoil.

The Shu Han had a large number of barren ownerless fields in Hanzhong, which was a prerequisite for the implementation of this field system.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was a scholar, he had just put down the brush in his hand, Jiang Wei took advantage of the situation and said:

"I heard that the military division Longzhong is right, and there is a saying that 'the west and Zhurong, and the south Fuyi Yue'. In the following view, Hanzhong is adjacent to Wudu and Yinping, and has always been a place where Hu and Han meet; Starting from Wudu, and then go west through Longxi and Jincheng two counties, you can go to Huangyuan (near Qinghai Lake) the birthplace of Xiqiang. While the military advisor is running Hanzhong this time, he might as well put the matter of 'Xihe Zhurong' on the agenda. ”

Zhuge Liang was already very appreciative of Jiang Wei at this time, and when he heard this, he showed an expectant look and said with a smile: "Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

Jiang Wei had already sorted out his thoughts, and immediately Lang Lang said:

"In the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211 AD), after Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi, he began to use troops against Guanzhong. After breaking through the allied forces in Guanzhong, he withdrew his troops and returned, and ordered Xiahou Yuan to continue his westward expedition. ”

"Xiahou Yuan is a famous general of Wei, within two years, chasing Ma Chao, breaking Han Sui, destroying Song Jian, sweeping Qiang, Di, Tiger Step Guanright, relying on his own strength, almost Liangzhou area one by one. But while he was shocking Qianghu, he caused excessive killing, and Liangzhou Qianghu didn't want to eat his flesh raw. ”

"At the same time, Cao Cao was newly defeated in the battle of Hanzhong, and forcibly relocated the Han and Hu soldiers and civilians in Hanzhong and Wudu to Guanlong Qiaoju, resulting in the separation of local people's wives and families, and countless people died, and the Qiang people's resentment towards Wei has been around for a long time."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, changed his tone, and said:

"The enemy of the enemy can be a friend. Our left general Ma Chao is known as the heart of Qianghu, and he thinks that he can pass through Hanzhong at the same time, with the help of General Zuo's prestige in the past, to the west to contact Guanlong, Liangzhou Qiang tribes, as a response to the Northern Expedition. ”

Zhuge Liang asked again: "Ma Chao has been defeated by Cao Wei again and again, and his reputation is not as good as before. And the Qiang people are rebellious, fearing that their yang will be disobedient. ”

Jiang Wei smiled, took out a bamboo slip from his arms, and tended to serve Zhuge Liang:

"I was about to present 'Pingqiang Ce' to Mr. as a counselor."

He waited for Zhuge Liang to start browsing, and explained in detail:

"Last year, when I returned south with my mother, I was blocked by Yamuji, the king of Wudu, Shenwolf, and Qiang. Fortunately, General Ma Dai came to his aid, and he was able to get out of the horse, and he also beheaded the king of Qiang, who secretly used cold arrows, under the horse. Now, some of the Wolf Qiang people are attached, and some are still entrenched in Wudu, because they have lost their strong leaders, and they are now in a state of being divided and leaderless. ”

"I think that with the help of General Zuo's prestige, we can set up a puppet leader of the Qiang people, and in the name of the new leader of the Wolf Qiang, first pacify Wudu and Yinping two counties, and then set up a big field, and invite the Qiang who live in Liangzhou to participate in the exchange of goods, so as to liaison."

Speaking of his understanding of Qianghu in the northwest region, Zhuge Liang is naturally far inferior to Jiang Wei, the "leading party" who was born and grew up in Si, but his attitude is not at all dignified because Jiang Wei is a junior, and he shamelessly asked:

"Since the Wei State has allowed the Wudu and the Yinping Land to flow freely, our army could have taken this place directly; But this time, Boyo suggested setting up a puppet of the Qiang people, but he didn't want to attract the attention of Wei? ”

Jiang Wei responded: "Mr. Mingjian." Using Qiang to control Qiang can reduce Wei's attention and vigilance to the movements of our army. ”

Zhuge Liang bowed his head slowly, and asked again: "What are the plans for the establishment of the Great Field?" ”

Jiang Wei replied: "Xiqiang has used sheep as a totem since ancient times, living in pursuit of water and grass, and living on cattle and horses. After the rebellion of the Qiang people in the former Han Dynasty, Zhao Chongguo planned to carry out tuntian in the area of the Hehuang River Meander, and also brought the Qiang people the art of farming and reclamation, so some Qiang people intermarried with the Han people, and their living customs were no different from those of the Han people, which was called 'ripe Qiang'; ”

"Since the Later Han Dynasty, the Qiang people have repeatedly rebelled against the imperial court, and there are many internal mergers and acquisitions, so the mature Qiang were either moved to the interior by the imperial court, or were killed and injured in the internal strife.

"The sage said: The gentleman is said to be righteous, and the villain is to be profitable." Shengqiang's long-term neglect and education, life is also difficult, so I think that if we want to win him over, we must encourage their resentment against Cao Wei, and second, we must lose the convenience of brocade, salt, and iron tools in Shuzhong, so as to make profits from their cattle and war horses. ”

"In this way, if the life of the Qiang people is improved, they will definitely be kind to me; Its war horses can be used to supplement our military resources, and the cattle can be used to help the new military and civilians in Hanzhong. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Wei paused suddenly, and his tone suddenly slowed:

"Moreover, in the next taste, the Shuzhong family has many complaints about the court due to the damage to their rights and interests; If the imperial court opened a field in Wudu and allowed them to participate in it, they could make huge profits, so that the imperial court could more or less accept them. Isn't it more than one stone? ”

In fact, this policy of "Pingqiang Policy" is the "tea and horse market" that he learned from later generations, and a traditional trade method between the Han and Tibetan ethnic groups with tea and horses as the main content.

Historically, the Tibetan people are addicted to cheese, and if they can't tea, they will be trapped with illness, so since the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, the imperial court has used the tea and horse method, and used to make Qiang and Rong, and the results have been remarkable.

In today's Three Kingdoms era, although tea has not yet been widely cultivated on a large scale, because the lifestyles and specialties between the Han and Qiang are not the same—most of the Han people's treasures are mainly salt, iron, and handicraft goods, while the Qiang people raise cattle and horses, and the goods of the two sides are still very complementary.

Through this kind of "mutual market", the imperial court was indeed able to form a good relationship with Xiqiang and obtain huge benefits from it, which is undoubtedly a win-win strategy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei secretly thought in his heart: "If you have the opportunity, you must promote the benefits of running a tea plantation industry." After all, thousands of years later, the three treasures of tea, silk and porcelain have always been the only magic weapons to help China take advantage of foreign trade. ”

The colleague he was secretly thinking about, Zhuge Liang had also fallen into deep thought.

He had obviously developed a strong interest in the "Pingqiang Policy", and while pondering, he asked a few more questions about the habits of the Qiang people and the geography of Liangzhou, and Jiang Wei was able to answer fluently without a moment's hesitation.

I saw that Zhuge Liang's face was first solemn, then relaxed, then happy, and finally full of admiration, even the feather fan forgot to shake it, and muttered:

"Borrowing the power of Ma Chao, the puppet of the Qiang people; Take silk salt as the asset, take cattle and horses for use; The goods of the Han and Hu are the resentments of the family; In the end, he contacted the Hequ Zhuqiang as a supporter and weakened the foundation of Cao Wei and Xiliang......"

After a long time, he raised his head, looked at the confident young man in front of him with a deep gaze, and finally turned into a soft sigh full of surprise:

"Boyo is loyal and diligent in current affairs, thinks precisely, and considers all of them, Yongnan and Ji Chang are not as good as others. What a sergeant in Liangzhou! ”

Jiang Wei heard such praise and hurriedly clenched his fists to show his modesty.
