"The cabinet has issued a special issue, it seems that the emperor also issued a new municipal article, talking about national integration, who is this union? My Datang is so strong that I still need to unite? In the past few years, hasn't the Tiance army won one battle after another? In Chang'an West City, a businessman who bought from other places held the "Current Political News" published by the media group in his hand, shaking his head and commenting while reading in the wine shop.

"Brother Wang, what kind of consciousness are you? What the emperor and the cabinet are talking about is the great alliance within our Tang Dynasty, our Han people, Dangxiang, Shatuo and other other tribes that have returned to the United States to form the Chinese nation. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, we're not uniting with others. As soon as the merchant surnamed Wang finished speaking, the companion next to him waved his hand and smiled: "In this way, we will be able to eliminate disputes within the Tang Dynasty, and we can free up our hands to expand our territory to the outside world." By the way, there is also the development of the market. Look for yourself, the emperor has written it very clearly, and you just look at the text yourself. While drinking, the two watched "Current Political News" to discuss the cabinet's explanation of national integration, but they also said that the head is the way.

Such scenes occurred in various parts of the empire after the first day of October in the seventh year of the Apocalypse. Li Xuanqing and the cabinet's explanation of the great integration of nationalities has also spread in various places. A series of policies promulgated by the cabinet for this purpose have also begun to emerge, so that the people of the empire can deeply feel the starting point and purpose of each policy promulgated by the cabinet, as well as what kind of benefits and influence it has on the empire and the people.

"Your Majesty, this is a national policy on national integration formulated or implemented by the cabinet, and the emperor will see if it needs to be adjusted." Cen Tianshi handed a thick pile of words in his hand to Li Xuanqing and said: "However, the general principle is to first the north and then the south, first the east and then the west, and gradually complete the implementation of various facilities and policies. ”

"It's not bad, the northern industrial belt has been because of the relatively mature industrial development and the early implementation of our policy, the ethnic barrier has been very light, the former Shatuo people, the party and the southern tribes and Han people in the grassland are no different, the new generation of young children have received a complete education in Tang Yan Chinese characters since childhood and we have formulated the ideological policies regardless of nationality and class, so it will not take long to wait until our generation is old, and there will be no problem after the new generation of children on the stage." Li Xuanqing nodded, he was quite satisfied with the ethnic integration in the north. The Central Plains and even the Jiangnan region were originally the base camp of the Han people, and the so-called education of ethnic integration is not so much to promote Sinicization education, but to let the Han people eliminate the concept of ethnic differences and accelerate the integration process of ethnic minorities. Moreover, in this life, because Li Xuanqing led the Tiance army to plough the court and sweep the caves, and unify the world, both the speed and the time were very short, and the population of the Central Plains was basically preserved, which also made the integration ability of the Han people more obvious than the five dynasties period in history, and the dominance of the Han people was also more stable. In the case that they are one generation ahead in all aspects such as economy, politics and culture, the various ethnic minorities have become less passive and hostile in the process of integration, thus resolving the contradictions and conflicts well. What really made Li Xuanqing anxious was the southwest and northwest, the two areas where a few tribes gathered, not only were there many tribes, but most of them had a bad relationship with the Tang Dynasty in the past. It can be said that in these two places, the way for the Tang Dynasty to establish the majesty of its rule was to use the military power of the peak to suppress the local rebel tribes, so as to smoothly implement the national policy of the Tang Dynasty. How to carry out ethnic integration in these places is the focus of Li Xuanqing's attention, if a bad operation, it will lay the root of the bane for the future, especially the senate system that Li Xuanqing intends to implement, when the senators from dozens of provinces across the country gather in Chang'an, which will inevitably greatly affect the pace of Datang's progress.

"What the cabinet means is to support and win over economically, monopolize and unify culturally, and then establish a model of differential treatment and gradually release power, right?" Li Xuanqing looked at the plan of the cabinet and nodded for a while. The method formulated by Cen Tianshi is really good, boiling frogs in warm water, everything follows the method of natural flow, so that these tribes will disappear in the tide of ethnic integration unconsciously. Economically, through industrial development, the speed of population flow will be accelerated, and then the unprecedented national power of industrial countries will be used to introduce this population flow into the category of national integration. In fact, this is similar to the practice of later generations, and even because the development of industrialization is not as fast as that of later generations, there may be more room for maneuver in the process.

"Proactively accelerating the flow of people?" Li Xuanqing nodded and said, "Sir's method is much more mature than I wanted. However, the population change under the control of the state needs the cabinet to choose the right time, otherwise it will cause public resentment, and the relocation of the land has always been a habit of the people, and it cannot be changed in a short time. In fact, this is also the difference between the East and the West in later generations, to be precise, the difference between Chinese and Westerners. During the Age of Discovery, Westerners spread rapidly to all parts of the world, and since then the dominant position of the white race in the world has been established. In fact, the navigation behavior of the Central Plains Dynasty was carried out earlier, but the footprints of the Han people had only been to Nanyang before that, and different ethnic habits sometimes determined their own characteristics, which were not good or bad in themselves, but this characteristic had a completely different effect in a specific time.

"The emperor is assured that the internal population migration does not have to be carried out by administrative order, those big businessmen are chasing profits while also boosting the process of our national integration, plus our cabinet intends to establish dense colleges and universities in the Central Plains region, including the north and the south of the Yangtze River, and then use this to attract elite talents from surrounding provinces and regions to the Central Plains, at the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce has not formulated the next step to promote a new round of industrial expansion in the Central Plains? It takes a large number of people to be able to fill it, and when Eli opens the way, most of these talents who come to the Central Plains will choose to stay. Even if they return to their hometowns after completing their studies, they will bring what they have learned in the Central Plains to other places, thus stabilizing the local community. Cen Tianshi was obviously prepared, so he said that the head was the Tao. This can be seen in the fact that after the Ministry of Education popularized the whole set of low-end education system from primary school to Mongolian school, it has densely arranged higher education institutions in the core areas, and basically no colleges and universities have been set up in the southwest and northwest. In the next step, the Ministry of Education of Yuanhe also established that even in remote areas, all institutions such as colleges and universities should be set up in areas with a large number of Han people, so as to cooperate with the implementation of the policy of ethnic integration in the distribution of educational resources. In this era, the elites who actually control these ethnic groups will also control the ethnic groups.,Start Sinicization education from top to bottom.,Within a hundred years, education itself can play a role in national integration.。 Moreover, in the areas with the most mature industrial development at present, they are basically concentrated in the areas dominated by the Han people, and the imbalance in the distribution of educational resources cannot be seen at all, because when the economic development is getting faster and faster and the people's education level is getting higher and higher, when education, especially higher education, is becoming more and more urgent, the more developed the economy itself and the more mature the industrial development of the region, the more this demand will be. Therefore, if the Ministry of Education is not a policymaker, it is impossible to see the implications. In fact, this arrangement is to large-scale transfer of elite talents from other surrounding areas, especially remote provinces, into the Central Plains, so as to integrate them in advance, and then expand to the periphery step by step.

"This plan is very well formulated by the cabinet, and it must be launched as soon as possible, so that the empire can truly eliminate internal strife and face the outside world as a whole." Li Xuanqing nodded, put down the plan in his hand. His approval means that this plan will become the general outline of the Empire's future governance. As a result, Datang also began the road of integration in later generations, and even because the conditions were more superior, it also had more abundant preparations and more means than later generations. In this era, there is no need to pay attention to ethnic equality and the habit of protecting all ethnic minorities, but only need to open up our minds and make some adjustments in the allocation of resources, which can naturally achieve such an effect. This is more mild than the bloody tactics of the rebellion of the five clans in the previous generation.

Since October of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the cabinet has successively promulgated a series of policies, such as the Central Plains provinces and the northern provinces began to jointly establish dozens of various colleges and universities, and the Ministry of Education issued an explicit order, all the colleges and universities within the Tang Empire began to implement a unified examination from the eighth year of the Apocalypse, and the scope of student admission began to spread to all parts of the country, and all legal subjects who held imperial nationality had the right to take the examination, and the provincial education departments would preside over such examinations at a unified time.

Since the Ministry of Education policy was promulgated, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce have also begun to take action, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs was the first to remove the obstacles to the movement of people in various places, and the subjects of the empire with household registration certificates can freely travel to and from all places in the empire, and no obstacles are allowed in this regard. The plan of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is more obvious, and it can even be said that the work plan of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce for the coming year has been promulgated, and the development of the Central Plains and the development of the grassland economy have become the key areas for the next development of the central government of the empire. After so many years of development, the Central Plains provinces themselves have a very good foundation, and they are even superior to the grasslands when undertaking the industrial transfer of the northern industrial belt.

In order to cooperate with the plan of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, after the construction of the Southwest Railway was completed, the Ministry of Communications transferred all the personnel of the huge railway companies along the way to the Central Plains to stand by, and even coordinated with the southwestern provinces to transfer back more than 100,000 prisoners of war captured by the southern line, waiting for the Ministry of Railways to give an order to extend the railway from Luoyang to Haizhou in the east in advance, and complete the task of building the first railway in the Central Plains that runs through the whole territory. The same is true of the railway from Shenzhou in the north to the south, which has been discussed for a long time and is almost parallel to the northern canal, at this time it was finally decided and became the starting point of the two major railways in the Central Plains.

The large-scale economic development of the Central Plains and the gathering of various policies also made the Central Plains provinces ecstatic, and after years of waiting for the arrival of the imperial policy, the provincial envoys almost unanimously published remarks in various newspapers and periodicals of the media group, saying that the provincial envoys would make every effort to ensure that the policies of the cabinet took root in the Central Plains, and that the provincial envoys would also allocate most of the provincial finances to support this huge plan.

The rise of the Central Plains made other provinces excited and envious, and while thinking about the mystery of this, they began to find ways to get a piece of the pie and develop themselves with this spring breeze. Among them, the most obvious manifestation of Tuoba Si Zhi in the far northwest. When he learned that the railway from Luoyang was being rebuilt to the east, he keenly felt the opportunity for the development of the northwest, not only transferred some prisoners of war from the northwest to the Central Plains to support the construction of the railway, but also said that the northwest provinces would work together to purchase a large number of goods from the Central Plains in the next three years. This kind of cross-regional procurement of bulk materials has also further strengthened the importance of the Central Plains, adding another fire to the rising development of the Central Plains.

The Lingnan provinces led by Guangzhou and Nanzhao in the southwest are no exception, because now Guangdong and Nanzhao have relied on maritime trade to develop a complete ocean-going caravan, and the scale is expanding and increasing every year, and the huge material procurement has allowed the Lingnan provinces led by the two provinces to successfully surpass Jiangnan to become the largest maritime trade concentration area in the empire. This purchase volume is equivalent to announcing that the provinces of the Central Plains will completely ignore the market demand in the next few years and can develop at full speed. And the emergence of this situation has also given rise to a huge demand for labor population, and the Central Plains is originally a large agricultural province, itself needs a large number of people to engage in agricultural development, so as a last resort, these provinces began to aim at the Jiangnan region, the north they can't grab people, after all, the northern industrial belt has always been a big province that lacks people, but in this way, Jiangnan has become the first region within the empire to develop by labor output, After the huge population continued to flow, it also drove the population of the southwest region to begin to flow towards the Central Plains. Although these population movements will return one after another, the policy of national integration has been implemented as long as there are mobile empires.

This series of measures made Li Xuanqing gradually see hope, and in this case, the situation that Li Xuanqing wanted to see was getting closer and closer. On top of the population base of the empire today, only by relying on the internal to build a whole can it have enough ability to expand externally, and in this era, the Tang Empire after entering industrialization is the real heavenly empire, and the world will be invincible.
