Chapter 438: Alliances and Population
"Oh?" Chen Zhi's eyes moved slightly, "What does Brother Tuoba mean by this?" ”
Tuoba Yulu said: "Chen Jun thinks about these so thoroughly, now that he is in charge of a county, he must have a heart to make a difference, with your talent, even if it is just a county land, he will definitely be able to accumulate amazing strength, if I take refuge in Wang Jun now, Wang Jun and Chen Jun will disagree in the future, let me be unfavorable to you, then it will be a dilemma, if you don't obey, it will inevitably be said that it will be said to be treacherous, but once you obey, don't say that you and I have a bad relationship, just say that you are on Chen Jun, I am not the slightest bit sure, so ......"
"So?" Chen Zhi had already heard some of the words and had some guesses. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I will inform my uncle when I go back, and propose to him the possibility of forming an alliance with Brother Chen, so that whether it is the threat of the Xiongnu, or my Xianbei civil war, or even Wang Jun's pressure on Chen Jun, I can deal with it calmly, but ......" Tuoba Yulu said, observing Chen Zhi's expression, hoping to see the color of surprise and experience from the other party's face, but unfortunately he was disappointed, Chen Zhi went deep as usual, and even his eyes did not change, as if Tuoba Yulu said something inconsequential.
Although Tuoba Xianbei is a grassland tribe, it can fight with the Xiongnu and Han for a long time, not to expand, and even repeatedly make the Xiongnu suffer, which shows how can it be, even Wang Jun will seize the opportunity and try his best to entrap him, not to mention that it is a county guard?
If Daijun can lead Tuoba as help, the situation can be completely opened, no longer the previous danger, you must know that Chen Zhi was changed from Guangning to Daijun, the problem he faced, the main problem is that his own strength is not enough, it is difficult to suppress the situation, if he can borrow Tuoba Xianbei, who is close at hand, at least he can speed up his foothold, and then develop himself.
On the other hand, according to Tuoba Yulu, the Xianbei civil war is undoubted, if there can be an agreement with the Tuoba Ministry, Daijun can also save a lot of danger, at least Tuoba Xianbei's deterrence, some small tribes will not do excessive things in Daijun after losing their clamps, because these tribes are often afraid of power and not virtuous, will not consider the consequences, but will worry about the revenge of the big clan, so as to restrain somewhat.
At the same time, this can also give Chen Zhi a little strength to negotiate with Wang Jun, of course, there are also risks, after all, this strength is foreign, originally Wang Jun may just be worried, but after knowing that Chen Zhi contacted Tuoba Xianbei, this worry will turn into a scruple, so as to attract the attention of this half-master of northern Xinjiang.
Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, whether it is a danger or an opportunity, it depends on how to handle it.
"However, Xianbei people will not lend a hand for no reason, they have their own interests, I want to form an alliance with them, it is impossible to only get benefits, the same must pay, it depends on what Tuoba Yulu wants, if after weighing, it is acceptable, it is not impossible, but Tuoba Xianbei is one of the protagonists of the original history after all, not to be underestimated, if I really cooperate with them, I must not take it lightly, let alone breed their ambition and strength!"
With such a thought, Chen Zhi's expression remained unchanged, and asked: "The nobles have had many difficulties since the truce between the Xiongnu and the imperial court, otherwise they would not consider making friends with Wang Tingshi, if I change my mind because of my analysis, I am afraid it will be too child's play, besides, the Ming people don't say secret words, Chen can give the Tuoba Department of limited benefits, and Brother Tuoba you are not the head of the clan, I'm afraid you can't be the master, right?" ”
Seeing that Chen Zhi was still able to calmly analyze and point out the key points at this time, he couldn't help but admire, but after thinking about it, what the other party said just now analyzed everything he had been thinking about for a long time, how could this vision be bad?
So, following his words, he continued to say later: "At the moment, my clan is in difficulty, and my uncle also has plans, even if he has the heart, he may not be willing to follow my words, but although I am not his own son, but I have fought in the north and south over the years, and I have all the credit and hard work, and the clan also has some influence, and I have analyzed the situation for my uncle before, and he still recognizes my ability, so if I really get some explanations, it is also possible for my clan to form an alliance with Brother Chen." ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and changed his words: "Yes, Chen Jun, you must also understand that the alliance is for mutual benefit, so Brother Chen also has to do something, so I can take it and talk to my uncle, so that he will not worry about the loss of this move, and then give up Wang Jun and get close to Chen Jun instead." ”
Chen Zhi said: "Wang Jun is powerful, if the Tuoba Department forms an alliance with him, it will eventually become a knife in his hand, and my Daijun is not the same as Youzhou and Pingzhou, and the strength is too bad. Since it is to negotiate an alliance and talk about interests, it cannot be limited to friendship, Chen Zhi is blunt.
These words made Tuoba Yulu stunned, but he immediately reacted and said with a smile: "Chen Jun, what you said is good, but such benefits are not as good as Wang Jun's promise, not to mention the Xianbei Civil War, it was originally an opportunity to take refuge, if the Tuoba Department finds the right opportunity at this time and takes refuge in Wang Jun, in order to win over our department, he will definitely give a lot of benefits that he can't usually get, with such a foundation, even if it is a knife, so what?" After digesting this pull, the power of our clan will go to a higher level, and the relationship with Wang Jun will also change. ”
"Brother Tuoba, let's be straight, what are the conditions?" Chen Zhi smiled and stopped beating around the bush.
Tuoba Yulu also laughed: "According to my uncle's intentions, to take refuge in Wang Jun, you must first understand his intentions, and then in the Xianbei civil war, and then show your attitude, as long as Wang Jun can contain the Xiongnu and let the Tuoba Department free up his hands, he will help him besiege the Murong Ministry, so, if Chen Jun can integrate Daijun before the war starts, stabilize this place, and then prove that you can contain the Xiongnu, then I can promise you that I will let the Tuoba Department form an alliance with you!" ”
"How strong are the Xiongnu now, the imperial army is still invincible, let alone my county? If he doesn't take the initiative to trouble me, that's all right, how can I take the initiative to provoke him? Do you want to contain one or two? Chen Zhi shook his head, "Besides, even if I want to form an alliance with Xianbei, it is to stabilize the situation, if I integrate Daijun and can contain the Xiongnu, then why do I need to form an alliance with Xianbei?" This is putting the cart before the horse, and even if I contain the Huns, offend him, and am not liked by the king's assassination, wouldn't I have to choose Xianbei and obey? After all, even the imperial court will downplay the affairs involving the Xiongnu. ”
"What Chen Jun said is very true, I was negligent," Tuoba Yulu pondered for a while, and finally made a decision, "In this way, I heard that Chen Jun attaches great importance to the common people and peasants, it just so happens that inside and outside my department, there are many people from the Central Plains, and a large number of them have fled from Bingzhou, but it is difficult for our clan to settle all of them, if Chen Jun can ally with our department, then I can make the decision and let these 30,000 people move into Dai County, how about it?" ”
As soon as this condition was spoken, even with the concentration of Chen Zhi, his expression could not help but move slightly.
There is no other reason, it is really Tuoba Yulu's proposal, for the entire Dai County, for him Chen Zhi, it is a real and timely rain.
Even, from the perspective of long-term and development, such a condition is more useful in Chen Zhi's heart than an alliance with the Tuoba Ministry.
At present, if you want to do things and make a difference, you must have a population, but compared with the states in the south, the states in the north, especially Youzhou and Jizhou, have rapidly decreasing populations, and have been in a state of fading and outflow.
On the one hand, natural and man-made disasters have made it difficult for many small people to survive, and on the other hand, this environment has caused many people to become displaced people and flee to the southern states and counties.
When Chen Zhi was in Pengcheng and when he was studying in the north, he had encountered more than one team of displaced people, had contact with each other, gave them food, and had conflicts with his own family team.
The main sources of these displaced people are the two northern states.
Under such circumstances, the population of the entire Youzhou is rapidly decreasing.
Before Chen Zhi went north, the nationality records he obtained from Yang Jie showed that at this time, the population of the entire Youzhou was only more than 59,000 households, less than 60,000 households, and even fewer of them were Dai County, and the range of the four counties was only 3,400 households, and if the population was counted alone, I am afraid that it was only more than 15,000 or less than 20,000 people!
Fifteen thousand, what is this concept?
In the next generation, I am afraid that even an ordinary township will barely survive.
And these more than 10,000 people, according to the information that Chen Zhi currently has, eighty or ninety percent of them are still in the hands of the local big landlords and big families in Dai County.
If the government wants to mobilize manpower, it must get the understanding and consent of the family, otherwise there will be many troubles and countless troubles.
Now Tuoba Yulu said that as long as the alliance is formed, it can provide 30,000 people, which is twice the current population of Daijun! Once obtained, it will directly change the power map of Daijun!
However, Chen Zhi knows very well that the population is very important to the grassland tribes, and many grassland disputes are for the sake of the population and cattle and sheep, for which the tribes have been exterminated, and the Tuoba tribe will not take out these populations so easily.
"But even so, if you can get this group of people, it can make a huge difference in the situation of this generation of counties, not to mention, among these people, there are many craftsmen, which is a great promotion for construction, it is difficult to estimate."
Many of the few lottery items in Chen Zhi's hands need the assistance of professionals, and the demand for craftsmen is even greater, but most of the craftsmen in Daijun are in the hands of the big families, serving their industries and seeking benefits.
Don't look at the luncheon, the prince of the Tang family promised to contribute money and efforts, but the people who came out must be coolies, if Chen Zhi really asked for skilled craftsmen, the other party would not follow.
In this era, not only is knowledge monopolized by the family, but these crafts must also be passed on by word of mouth.
In this case, the time it takes to train a craftsman is also very long.
"For the Tuoba Department, the artisan household is also very important, and for the tribe, it is a treasure, and this group of displaced people who fled from the state must be a valuable property for them, and they can't get it easily, even if they want to win me over, they won't spend such a big capital, is there any reason in it?"
