Chapter 497: Peace and Prosperity

The rewards of the imperial court must be a lot.

Yan Ming looked like he had no desire or desire. Whatever the emperor rewarded, he did the infrastructure of the school in Yelang in the name of the Han Dynasty.

Nanyi is coarse, and what is needed is stability.

At the same time, the attitude of the Han Dynasty towards Nanyi also directly determined the development of Xiyi.

To dare to resist the Han is to suppress it with iron and blood.

On the contrary, they enjoy the resources of the Han Dynasty and get more advanced things.

The contrast between the two completely different ones soon spread to all corners of Southwest Yi.

This kind of construction is long, and it is impossible for the Han Dynasty to wait for this kind of construction to be effective, and then go to the Xiyi countries and say, you see, our achievements in Nanyi, returning to the Han is the best choice.

In other words, even if it really has been effective so quickly, the selfishness of some people in power will not allow such an unconditional return to Han.

Simply, the army of the Great Han is powerful.

In the entire Xiyi, when the Han envoys arrived, in addition to the Dangqiang State, dozens of tribes led by the Ancient Dian State all expressed their willingness to return to the Han Dynasty.

Yan Ming had already understood this group of barbarians.

What they say about returning to the Han is more that they want to get advanced things and advanced productive forces from the Han Dynasty.

For Yan Ming, these barbarians looked at advanced things and were worthless in his eyes. There is only one thing he wants, all the countries and tribes that have returned to Han to learn Chinese in a unified manner.

Language is the basis of unity.

If you say the same thing in your mouth, you will think the same thing in your heart.

Liu Che was satisfied with all Yan Ming's operations in Southwest Yi.

What he was most satisfied with about Yan Ming was that Yan Ming gave all the rewards given by the royal family in the name of the Han Dynasty and the people in the Southwest Yi region in the name of the royal family.

Moreover, Yan Ming is vigorously promoting the education of Chinese language promotion.

Although this is still a little far from what he said about compulsory education, it is the foundation.

Liu Che was an eloquent and far-sighted emperor.

He knew that what Yan Ming did was more reliable than the ancient Confucius and Menglaozhuang.

Confucius and Menglaozhuang only established their own doctrines.

And Yan Ming is to let everyone in the world speak Chinese.

If you speak Chinese, you are a Han Chinese.

"Compulsory education must be promoted." Liu Che was determined to promote education.

This matter will eventually fall into Yan Ming's hands.

It's just that the current Xiyi is not convinced.

We still need to fight.

Yan Ming didn't want to do it anymore. This master was given to Li Guang.

Li Guang finally showed the state that a general should have at this moment.

His style of leading troops is hornet's nest and undisciplined. This way of fighting was a tragic death in a large-scale cavalry battle on the plains. This is also one of the reasons why Li Guang led his troops to attack and always wiped out the whole army in history.

But this hornet's nest style of fighting is very suitable in the mountains of Xiyi.

Li Guang's soldiers all had a personal heroism and retreated from the Qiang people.

Cheng didn't know Lao Cheng's seriousness, and Chi Yihou invited the Dangqiang people from the side, but in half a month, they defeated the Dangqiang army with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying.

When the king of Qiang regretted that he wanted to negotiate peace with the Han envoy.

But Li Guang, a war madman, did not give the Qiang peace and talk at all.

On the night when King Dangqiang decided to negotiate peace, the Han army had already invaded the capital of Dangqiang.

When the fate of King Qiang is not as good as that of King Yelang.

He didn't even have a chance to see the chief general of the Han army, so he was directly cut off and taken to the army to ask for merit.

When the Qiang country is broken.

At this point, the war in Southwest Yi was completely calmed down. All tribes, large and small, whether willingly or not, belonged to the Han Dynasty under the military authority of the Han Dynasty.

When Li fought on a large scale, Yan Ming had already started a follow-up plan.

He asked the court for Lao Xu.

Today, Lao Xu is already a well-known infrastructure official in the Han Dynasty. insisted on building a walled house and became a marquis.

Yan Ming's task to Lao Xu was very simple. It is to use all forces and means to build reasonable housing for each tribe in Nanyi.

If you want to pay attention, you must first start by changing people's livelihood.

Of course, among these buildings, the school is indispensable.

As for teachers, they can be transferred from places in China that know how to read and write.

Six or seven years have passed, and the students such as Dou Wen and Dou Wu have now reached the age of seventeen or eighteen, and some basic things can be learned. There are more things, and Yan Ming can't teach them too much.

At Yan Ming's suggestion, the first batch of students of Hongyan Hall, who had passed the age of sixteen, were all sent to teach in various places.

Dispatched together, there are also scholars with certain abilities in various counties.

The role of reading was first revealed in the Han Dynasty.

Many people who were not optimistic about their children's reading have now changed their attitudes.

What surprised them even more was that a girl like Wang Xiaocuier turned out to be the most powerful reader in Hongyan Hall.

A little girl turned out to be the head of an education party alone, in charge of the local school.

This makes people pay attention to the fact that both men and women can learn to read and have their own way.

Time flies.

It took five or six years for the pacification and development of the Southwest Yi.

During this period of time, Yan Ming did not completely stay in the southwest.

He took dozens of students who were willing to continue studying with him and traveled all over the country. Among these students are Li Ling, Sima Qian, Sang Hongyang, and even Huo Quai.

Yan Ming took them to a place to study the customs and geography of a place. There are also local specialties.

The territory of the Han Dynasty reached an unprecedented vastness.

Under the spread of Yan Ming and the students, various crops in the north and south have been cultivated more deeply.

During this period, Yan Ming has always maintained contact with the northern elders Chen and Mo Zheng.

learned that Liu Ling had gone to the Northeast and helped Yan Ming take care of political affairs there.

Regarding the Northeast, Yan Ming didn't expect that Liu Che would turn a blind eye.

Perhaps, he feels that the Northeast is a bitter cold place, and in his thoughts, he still can't understand the meaning of the Northeast. It used to be the heavy industry base of the republic, and there was Kitakura.

It can be said that if the Northeast is well managed, it can completely rival a country.

Because of the battery and engine sent by Yan Ming. Teachers and students in the Northeast studied together, and they even made some famous names.

In particular, the technology of studying engines with the elder Chen and Mo Zheng has been close to perfection.

Mo Zheng is worthy of being the master of the Mo family's mechanical arts.

The simple mechanical principle is even easier when it comes to him.

Now, they are trying to combine motors and machinery to make tools for processing iron. Similar to the lathes of later generations.

Yan Ming understands and grasps these in the correspondence he has exchanged.

The only major and small wars in the surrounding areas that really caused losses to the Han Dynasty was the original Han-Hungarian War. The later wars did not have a significant impact on the Han Dynasty because of the proper strategy.

Therefore, the national strength of the Han Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger.
