Chapter 94: A New Era in the Northlands
After the chaos, people's minds are determined, and there will be great governance, since ancient times. The ruins of Shanwu City, Yanmen County is full of mourning, the local heroes are empty, and hundreds of miles of land are like a blank sheet of paper waiting for the rulers to write.
Outside the Pingcheng New County Guard's Mansion, an official was reading out to the people the proclamation of the county guard Li Mu:
"Bearing the king's order, bowing to the people's letter, shepherd's guard for Yanmen County, dare not be conscientious, today there is an announcement to the people of Yanmen:
First, the good has been destroyed in the hands of the Huns, and now the Yanmen is moved to Pingcheng, renamed Datong, and takes the meaning of Datong in the world.
Second, those who have become widows and lonely as a result of the war shall be supported by the local government within their capacity, and shall not be left to fend for themselves.
Third, in order to prevent speculation by lawless people, the land that is now collected in the territory is state-owned, so the land deeds and land deeds are not recognized, and the landlord can go to the nearest government to exchange the old for the new, and re-obtain the new land of the same quantity and quality.
Fourth, all the displaced people in Yanmen can live nearby, and reclaim the land nearby, and all the old land is exempt from tax for one year, and the newly opened land is exempt from tax for three years, and the local government needs to demarcate the land boundary for the people in a timely manner, and handle the land deed.
Fifth, the people under the rule of Yanmen shall not occupy the land at will, and any land that has not been properly rectified after two years shall be restored to the state, and the occupants shall also be punished.
Sixth, after this war, there is a lack of people in the army, now recruit 30,000 soldiers, those who are not brave and fierce do not take, those who join the army, food and clothing, no need to farm, day and night with military as a business, give money five times a month, and their families are exempt from tax for ten years regardless of whether they are old or new.
Seventh, the local government reopened civilian training, and taught the people to fight in the army during the agricultural slack period, so as to ensure that everyone can fight to the greatest extent.
Eighth, the reopening of the field, except for weapons, armor and other iron tools other than daily necessities, only those who have obtained the ticket of the government can go to the Pingcheng field to trade goods.
Ninth, the local government gathered the people who were good at raising horses, and sent them to Pingcheng for the army's use of raising horses.
Tenth, recruit brave men and dare to walk in unpredictable places.
Mu dare not do his best, the revival of Yanmen is hopeful, and the hegemony of Zhao is expected. ”
The short ten-point proclamation opened the prelude to Li Mu's new policy in the north, which contained Li Mu's ancient national wisdom and Zhao Jiechao's ideas in the era.
From here and now, Datong began to embark on the road of prosperity and prosperity, Beidi began to embark on the fast track of development, and Zhao Jie also truly integrated into this great era of development and change.
At the same time, in the vast steppe, a bloody post-war annexation began to unfold, and everything was just as Zhamuhe had said.
In order to maintain their own authority, the Xiongnu who returned from the defeat resolutely beheaded the tribal leaders of the Hengqu tribe, who posed the greatest threat to his existence, in a big tent on trumped-up charges.
Later, Shan Yuji led his army all the way to defeat the Buchen and annex many small tribes struggling to survive. The surviving tribes were afraid of the power of Shan Yu, and dared not speak out, so they had to submit to it. The tribes of Zamuhe are no exception.
For a while, a bloody wind blew on the grassland, and the situation between the tribes began to become complicated. A war completely changed the fate of two countries and two peoples.

"Patriarch, Shan Yu has a letter, asking you to go to the eaves to meet Chengcheng." General Qi met with Zamu and reported to him.
"Expected!" Zha Muhe, who was lying on the hospital bed, frowned and said, "Are all the things ready for travel?" ”
"It's already ready, and it should be no problem to escort you back and forth!" General Ji continued with a worried expression: "But if it is only used to be strong, I am afraid that I will ......."
Zha Muhe raised his hand and waved, and then explained: "Although our department suffered heavy losses in the battle to invade Zhao, there are still thousands of elite horsemen and tens of thousands of people. As a clever man, he must have understood that it was best to take advantage of my death to conspire with our subordinates, so that the best could be obtained at the lowest cost. Therefore, as long as I am alive, my ministry is temporarily safe. ”
With a deep sigh of relief, Zamuhe continued: "At the same time, the people of my tribe are all united by my side and have my strong backing. In order to win the hearts of the people after my death and annex our ministry openly, Shan Yu will definitely treat me well, so I don't have to worry about my safety! ”
"But Patriarch, in case ......," General Yi said with a worried expression.
"Needless to say!" Zamuhe interrupted General Xi again, and continued: "How is the matter of sending people to Zhao State! ”
"Patriarch, we are the Huns, the affairs of the Huns should be solved by the Huns themselves, is it really necessary to drag the Zhao people in?" General Yi once again worriedly persuaded Zamu and Dao.
"I've told you the reason many times, aren't you still enlightened?" Zha Muhe was a little angry when he heard this: "Don't look at those Central Plains people who have elite weapons and rich products, but their way of survival determines that they will never be able to adapt to the life of the grassland. The grassland is the paradise of our Huns, as long as there is a grassland between heaven and earth, our Huns will always exist, and the people of the Central Plains will not destroy our race and cannot destroy our race, so your worries are completely unnecessary. ”
Zhamuhe glanced at General Xi, who was still worried, and continued in a serious tone: "Now that the grassland is full of treachery, if our department does not look for foreign aid, the fate that awaits will be only destruction. Looking at the grassland, there are very few tribes left that can save the fate of our tribe, and if we want to survive the current crisis and survive with difficulty, cooperation with Zhao is the only way. Relying on the resources of the Zhao State, improving the living conditions of the people, winning over the friendly tribes, and eliminating the tribes that are not subservient, this will be the only way for our department to dominate the grassland in the future. ”
"I still can't understand your reasoning, but I believe the patriarch is doing it for my good! Please rest assured that Touman is already on his way to the Kingdom of Zhao. General Ji replied respectfully.
"In that case, stand aside for the time being!" Zha Muhe looked a little tired and ordered: "Do everything I tell you to do it well!" ”
When General Ji heard this, he helped Zha Muhe cover the quilt, and then slowly withdrew from the big tent, still with a trace of melancholy in his eyes.
"Still lacking a little bit of vision!" Zha Muhe, who was lying on the bed, sighed lightly and said softly to himself.
