The chieftain of Shaodangqiang was the most powerful, with a large number of people and the largest territory he occupied, but he was still eager to reach an agreement with the Han government to reduce the war and stabilize the lives of the people; Xian Lingqiang, Beidi Qiang and other heroes are even more anxious, their territory has been occupied by the Han people, the number of people has decreased a lot, and they hope that the negotiations will be successful, obtain pastures, and let the tribe multiply.

However, Gao Shun was not in a hurry to negotiate with Han Sui and others, and in the next few days, he asked the envoy to continue to accompany Han Sui and others to have a good walk around Yecheng; He took advantage of this time to convene Ma Gui, Li Qiang, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and others to discuss negotiations.

Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and others are all wise men, and they praised Gao Shun's plan, if so, the Qiang people not only cannot become a pity, but can also be a good help. Subsequently, they put forward a lot of reasonable suggestions, and Gao Shun adopted them when he felt reasonable.

It was decided to first set up the Siyi Yamen under the Wei Mansion to manage the affairs of the Quartet Barbarians.

Continue to set up county-level units in the territory where the barbarians are located, but all officials in the province are from ethnic minorities.

Five to ten provinces are set up as an alliance, and the responsibility of the alliance is to coordinate internal affairs and upload and distribute them.

As the discussion deepened, the responsibilities of the Siyi Yamen were gradually determined, and the chief was the doctor, who was in charge of the official system, the official system, military punishment, household registration, farming, taxation, post station, trade, military service, rewards, etc., and dealt with the contradictions between the provinces.

For the establishment of household registration, Gao Shun adopted the system of guards in the later Ming Dynasty, with a small flag for every 11 households, a general banner for every 56 households, and 100 households for every 115 households, with 100 household officials, deputy 100 household officials and clerical officials.

Each 1,155 households are 1,000 households, with 1,000 households, deputy 1,000 households, clerks, officials, etc.

For every 5,000 households, there is one Taoist, and the number of households in each lane is 10,000 households, and more than 10,000 households must be split.

Official positions such as Xiaoqi, Zongqi, Baihu, Qianhu, and Taoist are all hereditary, but they must be canonized or appointed by the central government.

This model is not only similar to the flag alliance system implemented in Mongolia by the Qing Dynasty in later generations, but also somewhat similar to the Tusi system, which can be regarded as a kind of synthesis.

However, with so much content, it is still necessary to negotiate with Han Sui and others one by one to define the responsibilities, authority, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties.

Gao Shun had both expectations and worries about this system, and wanted to try it out among the Qiang people first, revise it, and implement it in the southern counties of Yizhou and the northern frontier after improvement.

As time dragged on, Han Sui and others were very anxious.

It was not until half a month later, on the first day of the eighth month of the tenth year of Yu Xingping, that the two sides officially began negotiations.

Gao Shun participated in the first negotiation to show his attention, and the chief official of the negotiation was Jia Xu, who was from Liangzhou, and his son Jia Mu was the assassin of Qinzhou, and he won the trust of Han Sui and others.

According to his idea, Han Sui first proposed that the territory of the Qiang people should be managed by the Qiang people.

Gao Shun readily agreed, and took the opportunity to say: "You can be managed by the Qiang people, you know better the customs and habits of the people, but the court can not let it go, or according to the tradition, set up the Dao, the officials at all levels of the Dao are all served by your people and are hereditary, for this reason, set up the Siyi Yamen, which is in charge of the way set up by the Quartet Frontier." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, but Han Sui proposed that the name Siyi Yamen was a contempt for the Qiang people, and Gao Shun renamed it Honglu Yuan.

The chieftain of Burndangqiang also proposed that the government should not collect taxes from them.

Gao Shun also readily agreed, and said: "Your internal taxes are the responsibility of the officials of each province, and the taxes collected can be used for the benefit of the people, but also to raise soldiers. Gao Shun thought to himself, even if he didn't collect their taxes, he could set up checkpoints on the periphery to collect customs duties and trade taxes, and the wool came out of the sheep, and there was still a lot of harvest.

As for the number of troops to be transferred, everyone is most concerned.

Gao Shun promised that each province could set up 5,000 households, and no matter how many times a year the troops were transferred, the total number would not exceed 1,000 households; However, the government does not bear the salaries of the transferred soldiers, but will bear the supplies such as grain and grass, and if there are military merits, they will also be rewarded.

Jia Xu explained to them in detail the plans for the establishment of alliances, dao, thousand households, and hundred households, and everyone was overjoyed, so that their absolute control over the dao could be established; The alliance has no real power, and the main personnel are Qiang people, so they cannot pose a threat to them.

The chieftain of Burndangqiang attached the most importance to trade and hoped to determine the trade between the two sides.

Jia Xu suggested that a Han city could be set up in each league, which would be managed by the Han people to facilitate business travel and trade; Han Sui proposed that the two sides jointly manage it; Gao Shun asked them to continue to discuss and come up with a reasonable plan, requiring that they should not be biased against any side, not only to take care of the locals, but also to facilitate business travel.

For the demarcation of territory and the prohibition of cross-border nomadism, the chieftain of Burning Dangqiang wanted to oppose it, but the marshals who did not have territory such as Xianlingqiang and Beidiqiang were extremely supportive, so this article was also successfully passed; However, they were not systematic, and from nomadic herding to relatively stable and fixed, the impact on their people was fatal, and after a few generations, they became accustomed to a relatively comfortable life, and the degradation of endurance, perseverance, and physical strength was too serious to pose a threat to the Han people.

Gao Shun also has an important idea, that is, intermarriage, and everything is voluntary, the opportunities and conditions of both parties are equal, and it has also been successfully passed.

For the annual salary system proposed by the Qiang people, Gao Shun decided to use the form of Yulu to distribute, the Taoist enjoy the treatment of the county order, the head of a thousand households enjoy the treatment of the village elder, and the head of a hundred households, the general flag, the small flag, etc.

As for the details, Jia Xu and them continued to discuss.

For trade is the focus of negotiations between the two sides, Jia Xu granted each province a caravan to come to Han to do trade, but there are strict restrictions on the scale, number of people, tariffs, etc.

In the process of negotiation, Jia Xu found a problem, that is, the method of splitting more than 10,000 households is equivalent to expanding the strength of the barbarians in disguise, you must know that their reproductive ability is too strong, if their lives are stable, the war is reduced, and the population will increase exponentially in a few generations, so the split system must be strictly restricted, and when splitting, their territory will not be increased, but the existing territory and population will be split.

Gao Shun agreed with Jia Xu's suggestion, and referred to the Eight Banners system to set up a Qiang barracks, for Yu Ding who was willing to join the government army, if he passed the inspection, he could bring his family to move to the mainland, Yu Ding was organized into an army, and his family was placed as a people.

After that, the Xianbei Camp and the Nanban Camp were set up.

In order to facilitate exchanges, marriages, and immigrants between the two sides, Jia Xu, Han Sui and others decided to vigorously promote the Chinese language, Chinese characters, and Han culture, and help more Qiang people integrate into Han Chinese life.

Han Sui was most concerned about his personal treatment, Gao Shun gave him two choices, the civil position can be Taishou, and the military position can be Zhonglang General, Han Sui finally chose Zhonglang General; Gao Shun promised that he could select 10,000 officers and soldiers from under his jurisdiction, and that the same selection criteria must be implemented as the existing officers and soldiers, and that the rest would be placed as civilians, and if there were less than 10,000 people, they would be supplemented; This is tantamount to understanding Han Sui's personal thoughts.

In the end, the two sides successfully agreed to set up a total of ten provinces, all of which are currently divided into two alliances, one in the north and south of Qinghai Lake; Since then, the Huangzhong region has been the territory of the Han people; All the provinces are located in the west of Xiping County, so that the burning of Dangqiang is extremely dissatisfied, for this reason, and add a piece to the burning of Dangqiang, to reach four, the four sons of the chief are the Taoists, and the chieftain of the burning of the alliance serves as the leader, which is considered to pacify the burning of the Qiang.

Xianlingqiang, Beidi Qiang, Zaqiang, Zahu and other heroes have a fixed territory, and they are all very happy.

After more than a month, the negotiations were successfully concluded, and both sides were happy, and the next step was the demarcation of the border and the reorganization of Han Sui's officers and men.

These people swore allegiance to the Duke of Wei and the descendants of the Duke of Wei, which became a great external help for Gao Shun and his descendants, and as for the effect, it will take time to test.

The Gaoshun plan, after a few years, if the effect is good, can be implemented in other areas.
