Three days later, Liu Bi sent a hundred beef cattle and a hundred meat sheep to Ming Jian.

These beef cattle and sheep are excellent breeds in modern society, with a relatively short growth cycle and strong disease resistance, but they are fat and not picky about food.

After Ming Jian found a place for these beef cattle and sheep to release them, he handed them over to Li Li.

Li Li was overjoyed to see such excellent livestock, and immediately sent these livestock into the enclosure of Yangjie Village.

A few days later, Li Li bought thousands of cattle and sheep from the Tibetan merchants, plus pigs, and the entire Yangjie Village was able to start farming.

Immediately afterwards, neighboring villages also followed suit, and the entire Maozhou also began to follow.

Li Li organized manpower to train breeding techniques, and then sent out to set up points in various places to train farmers.

This is a bit similar to the taste of the agricultural technology station, and the farmers are also willing to accept training, as for the technology, basically from the Ming Jian from the modern society to get the book, leading the times of technology, so that the farmers although difficult to understand, but after practice, soon proved that these technologies are the best.

And the weather is getting colder day by day, heavy snow is beginning to close the mountains, and the whole of Maozhou has entered the coldest season.

In order to wait for news from Wang Gui and Labazi, Ming Jian also delayed and did not return to Bianjing.

The matter of unifying the Qiang villages, it has not been done yet, Ming Jian felt a little depressed, the news fed back from the front, the Qiang villages are against unification, they are now their own affairs, or the boss, once unified, then they will become the little brother, so most of the Qiang villages do not agree.

Wang Gui and Labazi also had different opinions, Wang Gui advocated unification by force, while Labazi wanted to settle it peacefully, so the matter was delayed again and again, and it has not been resolved so far.

It is impossible to use troops in winter, and once you do it, it will be bad for you.

Ming Jian simply called Wang Gui and Labazi back, and directly asked the two of them about their specific plans.

"You all talk about your thoughts and how to solve it."

Labaz said, "Big brother, I think I can influence them, maybe it will take a little longer, but this way you can avoid casualties." ”

"However, this is not good for us, the officials and ministers are sure to conquer the Qiang village by force, and then quickly form an army, and go straight to the Hehuang area in the spring of the next year, completely eradicate the remnants of the resistance in Tibet, maybe by the second half of next year, you can start against the Western Xia." Wang Gui said.

Ming Jian looked at Wang Gui and said, "Then how are you going to attack?" ”

Wang Gui said: "The minister plans to use superior forces to divide and surround the Qiang villages, as long as he takes a few cottages and uses bloody means, I believe that the next things will be much easier, at this time, using extraordinary means is the king." ”

Wang Gui obviously wanted to intimidate the Qiang people by force to achieve his goal, which was the idea of a soldier.

Ming Jian shook his head and said, "This method may be able to manage for a while, but what about later?" Will they obey you for a long time with such conquest? Once we lose our strong force, I'm afraid they will turn back. In my opinion, let's take a long-term view and give some benefits to the Qiang people, such as we are now engaged in breeding, which can cooperate with the Qiang people, we provide technology, they provide resources, and when the time comes, how much we share, how much they occupy. As long as the Qiang people get benefits, I think everyone will get together, and there is also a strengthening of marriage, and those who do not have wives among the soldiers can choose among the Qiang people. There are many means, that is, to find a way to subdue their hearts, this is the most important thing, little sister is the master, you go and do it. ”

Huairou policy may seem a little soft, but the effect is definitely better, now the population resources are not abundant, Ming Jian hopes that these people can be used by the country, in the future to fight in the east and west, that is when a large number of people are needed.

Although Ming Jian is still painting cakes, this is definitely to be realized, the role of population is not only to fight, but also to occupy a large role.

If you lay down a piece of land, you must occupy it, otherwise people will turn back, and your land is equivalent to someone else's.

"Yes, official."

Wang Gui was helpless, so he had to nod, but he was thinking in his heart that he didn't want to go, just send a subordinate to keep an eye on it, doing those things is not his specialty, he still trained himself.

Within ten days, Labaz came to Mingjian with a smile on his face.

"Big brother, your trick really works, the Qiang people have a lot of livestock, but this winter will freeze to death a lot, after we teach them the technology of the Han people, the number of frozen livestock has been greatly reduced, and now many Qiang villages admire me, I think at this time to put forward the idea of unification, the opposition should be less. However, those old stubborns still won't agree, I have to be under my hands, in their stockade, found traces of the Tangut people, big brother, I think it must be the Tangut people to sow discord and obstruct our great cause of unification. ”

Labaz said.

Ming Jian said: "Found the Tangut people? Then act in the shadows and kill them! The old stubborn also killed them together, and found a way to create the illusion that they were beating each other, so that they could completely wash themselves. ”

Labazi listened to Ming Jian's words, and said happily: "What the eldest brother said is very reasonable, I was a little unable to do it, but now it seems that it is best to use the Tangut people to clear the obstacles." Okay, I'll go and prepare. ”

......

The development of things was not unexpected.

On the banks of the Wen River, a fierce fight was staged, and three Tanguts were beaten by a group, but they were also very ruthless, and in the counterattack, two Qiang leaders were killed, and all three Tanguts were annihilated.

"Damn thief, he came to steal our holy relics, and I came to search my body."

A Qiang man scolded angrily, and then found a treasure knife inlaid with seven gems on the body of a Tangut man.

"Sure enough, they did it, but it's a pity that the two leaders will die here, hey."

"What now? If we don't have a leader, the stockade will be coveted. ”

"It's over, we'll be swallowed up."

.......

The Qiang man who searched his body suddenly said: "Everyone, listen to me! Now that our leader is dead, we will definitely be suppressed by others among the tribes, but I heard that the leader of the Tiger tribe wants to unify our Qiang people into one tribe, and has obtained advanced cattle and sheep breeding technology and medical skills from the Han people, so we might as well join the Tiger tribe in advance, and then we will not only not be suppressed, but will also be taken care of by the leader of the Labazi, what do you say? ”

"Merge into one tribe? How is this possible? It's been so long since we've been divided, and now everyone is a lot more alienated from each other. ”

"That's right, if you go to the past and are swallowed up, it will be a wasted sacrifice."

"It seems that this is also the case, Labazi seems to be married to a Han man, and that Han man has the right to order the prefect. Follow Labazi, there should be no problem. ”

"As long as there are cattle and sheep, what are you afraid of? Isn't that what we're trying to do? ”

"Then join in!"

......

The Qiang people talked and talked, but finally came to an agreement.

In December, the Wen River was completely frozen, but here, a huge platform was suddenly erected.

The Qiang people came here from far and wide to participate in the unification meeting of the tribes.
