After the meal, everyone followed Liu An to collect food and seeds, and they all left happily.

Soon, the officials, farmers and merchants around Jicheng knew about the gambling contract between the young marquis and others, and the streets and alleys, villages and farmers spread all over the city.

Many people are asking, what is corn? What are potatoes and sweet potatoes? Many farmers also went to Zhangjiabao and other places to see the strange, some relatives participated in the gambling, so they went to borrow some seeds and went home to try to plant them, many farmers complained, why did they not have such a good life, participate in the gambling?

After Liu Kuan learned of the situation, he didn't stop doing it, found Qiu Liju, and asked people to arrange for someone to go back to Wuhuan with seeds to plant, and Liu Kuan arranged for Liu An to open the door of Liujiabao, as long as someone is willing to participate in the gambling, they can register to receive food and seeds, and within ten days Liujiabao's stored potatoes, sweet potatoes and other grains were taken away.

Liu Yu has been immersed in the grief of the death of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty during this time, and he has been in a better mood in recent days, and after hearing about Liu Kuan's bet, he is very happy to know that he is promoting high-yield crops in the form of buying horse bones.

Since the last time Liu Kuan mentioned Ying's confusion and guarded his heart, the news of Liu Hong's death once again verified Liu Kuan's prediction, and Liu Yu became more and more impressed with this little son. The key is that Liu Kuan's practice of attaching importance to production, being gentle and stopping, and resting with people's livelihood has won his own heart.

On this day, Liu Yu gathered everyone to discuss matters, Xian Yufu and Tian Yu had already taken office, and in the hall sat Liu Kuan, Qi Zhou, Yan Rou, Wuqiu Jian, Qiu Liju, Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen, who had recently come from the grassland, and more than a dozen tribal envoys.

Liu Kuan looked at the three leaders of ethnic minorities and more than a dozen envoys, and his thoughts fluctuated.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has continuously attacked the Xiongnu in the north and the Qiang in the west for hundreds of years. Now the Xiongnu is divided, the Northern Xiongnu has gone away to Central and Western Asia, and finally disappeared in the dust of history, and Youzhou to the east, the ethnic minorities in the north are basically in a state of young tribe scattering, in history, these tribes took advantage of the Central Plains Three Kingdoms division and the following hundreds of years of troubled times, have developed and grown, five chaotic China, like a marquee to establish a regime. The Han nation entered a dark period of several hundred years and was on the verge of extinction.

Here we have to mention the biggest enemy of the Qin and Han dynasties - the Xiongnu. Historically, the Han-Hungarian War lasted for more than 130 years, during which the relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu was based on a policy of peace and a policy of war. In 48 A.D., in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were divided into two parts, and more than 40,000 people went south to attach the Han to the Han Dynasty, and were placed in the Hetao area by the Han Dynasty. Those who stayed in Mobei were called the Northern Xiongnu. From 89 to 91, the Southern Xiongnu and the Han jointly attacked the Northern Xiongnu, and successively defeated the Mobei and Altai Mountains, forcing them to move westward, and the Northern Xiongnu disappeared from ancient Chinese books.

In 187, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's dictatorship occurred, there was internal strife among the Southern Xiongnu. In 195, the Southern Xiongnu participated in the melee in the Central Plains, and Cai Wenji, the daughter of Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was taken captive to the Xiongnu. In 202, the leaders of the Southern Xiongnu were attached to Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and Cai Wenji returned to the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao divided the Southern Xiongnu into five divisions.

Liu Kuan is more familiar with this period of history.

Yes, while you are young and willing to accept the rule, you have to pay close attention to ethnic integration, the magic weapon of the Han nationality for thousands of years is that you can be fused with it, and you can be fused if you can't be beaten. The three northeastern provinces are granaries, and if they can be reclaimed, they will be richer than Yizhou.

Liu Yu saw that Liu Kuan's face was very changing, so he coughed a few times and knocked on the table to remind Liu Kuan to concentrate. said: "Everyone, General Budugen has come from afar, I am pleased, I have already played, and General Budugen is a righteous candidate." The envoys sent to the tribes had returned, and Gongsun Chan was so bold that he dared to rob the court of the rewards given to the tribes, and even more, Gongsun Chan dared to prevent the envoys of the tribes from coming to Jicheng to meet with me. ”

Budugen's submission, coupled with Kebineng, who had come to Jicheng before, Xianbei had basically accepted Liu Yu's rule, and Liu Yu did not hesitate to play it as a return to righteousness.

"Da Sima, that Gongsun Zhan is the most vicious, he doesn't want to see the harmony and prosperity of all ethnic groups in my Youzhou, his ambitions are not small, and he has to guard against it." Qiu Liju has been at war with Gongsun Chan for many years, and he has a deep grudge.

Liu Kuan said: "The reward sent to the various ministries was sent in the name of the first emperor, he robbed, the envoys of the tribes came to meet the court on behalf of the various ministries, he blocked, Gongsun Zhan's anti-heart was clearly revealed, if not removed, the future troubles will be endless, and it will be unfavorable to the harmony and prosperity of the people in Youzhou." ”

Bu Dugen got up and said, "Da Sima, Bu Dugen is willing to lead the cavalry of his headquarters to annihilate Gongsun Zhan." Bu Dugen just came, and when he saw that Liu Yu treated himself the same as Kirbineng and Qiu Liju, he immediately expressed his position. After hearing this, Kirbineng and Qiu Liju asked for battle.

Liu Yu said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this matter will be discussed later. Although the envoys of the Eastern Xianbei Lord, Goguryeo, Buyeo, and Wuhuan tribes were blocked by Gongsun Zhan, many envoys made a detour to the northern grasslands and came to Jicheng. When Zihua was in western Liaoning, he once swore to Wuhuan Hou that there was my father and son in Youzhou, and all ethnic groups were equal and prosperous together. I reaffirm this oath today. Recently, I have consulted for a long time with several marquis and some tribal envoys, and I have formulated my ethnic policy in Youzhou. It has been played in the imperial court and will be announced to the public in the near future. Zihua, you will interpret the relevant policies. ”

The main ideas of these ethnic policies were all put forward by Liu Kuan, and it is certainly appropriate for Liu Kuan to interpret them.

Liu Kuan saluted the leaders and envoys and said: "The core of Youzhou's ethnic policy is ethnic equality, and the world is one family. The Xianbei, Wuhuan, Buyeo, and Goguryeo tribes were originally of Chinese Miao descent, but their living areas and development levels were different.

In order to enable all ethnic groups to develop together and live in harmony, the following policies have been decided: First, all ethnic groups are equal, and all ethnic groups will have the same rights and obligations as the Han nationality in politics, business, farming, and herding in the future.

In the future, all ethnic groups will be free to choose where to live and become naturalized, and they will be free to choose to engage in business, herding, farming, or engaging in craftsman and other trades, and if the herdsmen are willing to cultivate, the government will allocate 10 mu of land per person free of charge.

3. Encourage intermarriage between ethnic groups, and if an ethnic minority marries with a Han nationality, they will move to the land obtained for farming, and each party to the intermarriage will be rewarded with 10 acres of land.

Fourth, trade is free, and government-run materials such as salt, iron, and war horses are bought and sold according to quotas, which are open to all ethnic groups, and other materials are traded freely.

Fifth, cities should be built and counties should be set up in places where conditions are ripe. Each tribe can build a city according to geographical location, population and other conditions, Youzhou will send personnel to assist, and give money and food support, Youzhou government will coordinate the ministries to divide their own management areas, and appoint tribal leaders to serve as county guards and county commanders.

Sixth, the legitimization of military force and the separation of military and political forces. In the future, all ethnic groups in Youzhou and the border areas should not use their forces to develop their armies privately and conquer each other. The leaders of ethnic minorities are not allowed to serve as county magistrates if they want to lead troops. The situation of the army needs to be further discussed with the princes and envoys.

Seventh, it is necessary to strengthen the development of various industries such as education, medicine, artisan production, and farming. The government will send personnel to visit various tribes to teach knowledge and technology in various industries. Tribes may also send people to the counties to attend school.

Eighth, strengthen land reclamation and resettlement. Ladies and gentlemen, we must unite to have a big vision, don't just stare at our own one-third of an acre of land, there is a large amount of fertile land in the north of Liaoxi and Liaodong, all ethnic groups can move and reclaim wasteland, and develop these fertile places, after our development, these places will not be inferior to the wealth of the Central Plains in the future, and the north of the grassland where the Xianbei tribes are located is also extremely vast. It will also be promising. ”

Liu Kuan stopped as he spoke, drinking tea to moisten his throat.

"We built a city to shelter from the wind and rain, trade supplies, store food, and don't have to forage for food in case of disaster. ”

At this time, Qi Zhou nodded, "What the general said is reasonable, the leaders can live in the city, they can have a vast amount of cultivated land, and they can also have their own pastures, you can choose to be an official in politics, you can also choose to lead troops, or you can choose to be a rich man." ”

Liu Yu saw that everyone nodded when they heard this, waved their hands, attracted personal eyes to look at themselves, and said: "Everyone, my Liu royal family, sincere and harmonious of all ethnic groups, history shows that the two ethnic groups compete with each other, all kinds of harm and no benefit, the ancestors and the Xiongnu compete, for hundreds of years, how many people have died out, state-owned assets are spent, Yin Jian is not far away." I, the Liu father and son, swear that we will never merge or bully all departments, and what we pursue is common development and shared prosperity! May you share the wealth with you! ”

Everyone listened enthusiastically, and they all got up and saluted Liu Yu's father and son. "Common development, common prosperity!" "Share the riches!"
