Dai Yan continued: "To resolve this contradiction, it is necessary to make a trade-off between the agriculture and nomadism of the Zhao State, and who should be the basis for rule. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info And my suggestion is to use the nomads as the basis of rule!

And to achieve such a goal, it is necessary to carry out the reform of Hufu cavalry and archery. ”

"Master, I don't understand what you're saying?" "Since you think there is a conflict of interest between the farming areas and the nomadic areas in Zhao, why don't you try to resolve it?" And why didn't Zhao choose the peasants as the basis of his rule, but the nomads? ”

Dai Yan explained: "When I say nomadic herders as the basis of rule, I do not mean to completely abandon the interests of the peasants. Rather, in terms of fundamental interests, Zhao should give priority to the interests of nomadic herders. There is already a sense of mediation in this.

As for why the peasants were chosen as the basis of their domination and the nomads were chosen, the question is very good but easy to answer.

The Ying tribe itself is famous for herding horses, and Zhao Guo must have a lot of experience in this area, right? In addition, nomads live on horseback and move like the wind. And the army of the nomads, not to mention their individual bravery, is far faster than the infantry in terms of their marching speed!

In my eyes, the speed of the army's march is also a kind of combat power. I think Zhao must have suffered a lot when facing those steppe tribes in the north, right? ”

Although economic strength has a great impact on the strength of an interest group, Dai Yan has never forgotten what a country's truly solid rule depends on: that is, force!

It's like the hairy bear country of the later generations. After the collapse of the evil empire, those international capitalists thought that the woolly bear was a bear to be slaughtered from now on, and they could stab it at will. They recommended shock therapy to the woolly bear, supported several oligarchy groups in the country, and fully controlled the economy of the hairy bear, thinking that they would be able to make the hairy bear kneel down and sing conquest!

However, as soon as the *** from the KGB came to power, those oligarchs who looked extremely glamorous still wanted to wrestle with him. As a result, with a wave of his hand, the emperor made these oligarchs bankrupt and bankrupt, and those who went to prison went to prison. So the rest of the people were frightened and swore allegiance to the emperor!

No matter how rich a person is, in terms of strength, can he really compare to a person with a knife in his hand?

The same is true for Zhao Guo, although the agricultural area is economically developed, compared to the nomadic area, it is very, very rich! However, the really rich people can't do the ones with sharp knives, and the peasants who plough the fields can't do the cavalry on horseback.

Hearing this, Zhao Yong admired Dai Yan more and more: "Master, you're right. Those nomadic tribes in the north of my Zhao country often go south to invade our country, rob our people, they ride on horses, come and go like the wind, but our country does not have a good way to deal with it. If my Zhao State can implement Hufu cavalry archery, and my Zhao State has a powerful cavalry force, then my country will not have to be afraid of those steppe tribes at all!

Master, you have only been to my Zhao Kingdom once, but you know Zhao Kingdom so well, you are really a god! ”

In the final analysis, Zhao Yong's Hufu cavalry shooting carried out by Zhao Yong was actually nothing more than a military reform. It did allow Zhao to rise in a short period of time, but it did not fundamentally touch Zhao's economy, and Zhao's strength was only military, and the national strength of the entire country was not substantially improved.

And Dai Yan wanted to teach Zhao Yong to conduct Hufu cavalry shooting, not only at the military level, but also at the economic level.

In Dai Yan's vision, the reformed Zhao State should be similar to the Liao Empire in later generations.

The Khitans of the Liao Dynasty were originally nomadic people on horses. However, it occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun and the former Bohai Kingdom, so it was a dual empire with both an agricultural economy and a nomadic economy.

However, in the final analysis, even if the Liao State set up two officials in the north and south to manage different economic regions respectively, and even if the Liao State produced Han Derang, who could make the Liao Emperor "do his father's business", the economic basis that occupied its dominant position was actually animal husbandry, and the core ruling class of the Liao State was actually dominated by the nomadic aristocracy of the Khitan.

There is only one center of the ruling class! If there are two, one of them must be a vassal of the other!

However, after all, the Liao State was a great empire that completed the sinicization, and after the fall of the Liao Dynasty, the entire Khitan nation disappeared and was completely integrated into the Han nation. As a result, the Han culture was truly promoted in the north of China, which was a cause that could not be completed by a strong Han and Tang Dynasty!

Dai Yan asked Zhao to carry out economic reforms, not to make Zhao truly nomadic, but to allow Zhao to expand rapidly to the north under the condition that Zhao determined the nomadic economy, which could affect a wider area, let its strength rise rapidly, and let Zhao spread Chinese civilization more quickly.

To be honest, in today's era, the Qin State is getting stronger day by day, and it must be false to say that Dai Yan is not worried. As the militaristic state of Qin gradually rose, it would gradually swallow up the territories of the neighboring states of Chu, Wei, and Han, driving out their citizens.

And these Chu people, Wei people, and Han people who will lose their hometowns in the future, they are unwilling to be obedient people of Qin, they will only gradually migrate eastward, and eventually they will suffer from the Song and Qi countries!

And such a great migration of peoples has already happened once in history. The Zhou tribe, who also rose from the Weiping Plain, destroyed the Shang Dynasty and drove out the remnants of the Shang Dynasty. The remnants of the Shang Dynasty had no choice, and their fate was only two: one was to give up their homeland land and make a living from trade, thus forming merchants; And the other option is to drive out the remnants of Dongyi in the east and occupy their land!

As a result, Dongyi, which was once a major threat to China, is now only left in the southeast of the Song Kingdom near the sea, two hundred miles of Jiuyi land!

How miserable they were! Dai Yan definitely didn't want the Song Kingdom to end up with the same fate as the Dongyi tribe.

Therefore, it is very necessary to support a strong country in the north that can compete with the Qin State!

In Dai Yan's eyes, after Zhao and Qin are both wins, everyone comes from the same source. To deal with a country composed of tenacious clans like the Win clan of the Qin State, of course, it is best to choose the Zhao State, which is also from the Win clan!

And Dai Yan is not worried at all about Zhao Guo's power. In Dai Yan's eyes, even if the Zhao State had a strong cavalry force, they would never threaten the Song State in the end!

You must know that a dual empire as powerful as the Liao State cannot break through the Yellow River either. And if nomadic peoples like Jin and Mongolia did not have the help of traitors, how could they be the opponents of the Han people in the southern water transportation confluence?

On the other hand, if Zhao Yong really followed Dai Yan's advice and carried out the reform of Hufu cavalry and archery at the economic level, and made nomadic herding the basis of Zhao's rule, then Zhao's advantage in cavalry would have been further expanded.

However, the expansion of this advantage will lead to a weaker economic foundation. The nomadic economy is actually weaker than the agricultural economy!

The once powerful Eastern Turks in history just encountered a big snowstorm and froze a large number of cattle and sheep to death, and they were seized by the Tang Dynasty, which was recuperated, seized the opportunity to destroy them in one fell swoop!

Although a Chinese state like Zhao had written laws, even if it was founded on animal husbandry, its economic base would be much higher than that of the Eastern Turks. However, if Zhao did not want to face the fate of the Turks, its best option was to cooperate with the economic powers of the south - trade.

In this way, the Song State could indirectly influence the Zhao State through economic means. In the future envisioned by Dai Yan, the economy of the Song State will definitely be stronger than the Zhao State, so the trade exchanges between the two countries will definitely be more advantageous to the Song State!

This is actually another kind of economic control in disguise!

As long as I can influence you through my means, even if I don't have any governing body in your land, I am the true ruler of this land!

Although Dai Yan's layout in Zhao Guo has only fallen one, it can affect the overall situation of the entire world!

And now, the most critical one is how to influence the future monarch of Zhao State.
