All let this matter be pressed, and there is a reason for Mai.

All the new grass and new ones were placed after the removal of the court and the local post-party, and the curtain began to be opened. Because of an innovation, there will inevitably be a commotion, and if the mother gets in the way, it will give Li Wei a headache. The trouble of water conservancy was simply not something he had thought of. At most, I heard some people say that the bamboo paper mill and the mill have encroached on the water.

But another thing is more than that.

The land of Yunshuo is also called Six Towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After Li Wei returned, under the leadership of Daozhen, the remaining Turks successively migrated to the steppe north of Fangshan.

If there was no real intervention of Ashina Dao, coupled with Li Tang's turmoil, it is very likely that all these Turks would have been taken over by Gu Dulu. But Dao really intervened, and it is very likely that these tribes were close to the Central Plains, and they had received some favors from the Tang Dynasty and continued to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. They perished in the suppression of the bones, and that's it. But if you survive, you have to continue to treat it with a tolerant attitude, otherwise there are many other tribes who are afraid that a series of bad things will happen in the future.

This ethnic policy is a continuation of the previous policy towards the Tugu River.

Moreover, they are also needed in the desert to prevent the Tiele people from becoming dominant.

But the migration was troublesome, although it did not affect them much, they were all nomadic people, and the Lun River and the Dule River freed up a lot of space for them to be nomadic. There was a similar case before, when Taizong asked Ashina Simo to move more than 100,000 tribes scattered in Xiayin, Henan and other places to the Great Wall and Hebei, nominally ruling a vast area from Yunshuo in Hebei to the Yulun River. This time, Li Wei did it more thoroughly, and all of them were expelled to the north of Fangshan at once.

Therefore, various measures were taken, including preferential treatment of the chiefs of the various tribes, and a large number of horses, sheep and sheep were taken out of the spoils of war and distributed among the tribesmen of these tribes, so that they could live a happy life on the steppe. But a lot happened, but the migration began.

This process is likely to continue until next spring or fall.

The space is vacated and the vacuum must be filled, otherwise the tribes behind will see a large number of vacuum areas appear, thinking that it is easier to survive, but will stay and not leave. Is it forcibly evicted?

When there was still a day to go from Chang'an City, Li Wei summoned all the prime ministers and important ministers and told him about it.

As soon as he finished speaking, except for Wei Yuanzhong and Zhu Jingze, who knew the inside story, everyone else's faces were very cautious.

Wei Zhigu muttered, "Your Majesty, the six towns."

It's almost a synonym for a myth and the devil. Six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty!

But to make the dragon city fly will not teach Hu Ma to cross Chen Mountain. None of the real Han dynasties could do it, only the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Sinicized Xianbei regime, did it. Since the beginning of Tuoba Jue, the Northern Wei Dynasty has developed agriculture in the area of the six towns of Yunshuo, which is very similar to the practice of Qinghai, with agriculture, semi-agriculture and semi-animal husbandry, and animal husbandry. Tuoba Jue went south to the Central Plains, and most of the grain and property that Tuoba Tao relied on to pacify the north came from Monan (bounded by the Great Gobi, including the East Gobi Province of Mengding, South Gobi Province, Gobi Altai Province and the area of Erenhot in Mongolia in China, the north is Mobei and the south is Monan, that is, the north and south of Chenshan) and the animal husbandry and tuntian fields on the Saishang. The source of soldiers is also mostly selected from here.

Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty set up six towns in Woye, Huaishuo, Wuchuan, Fuming, Rouxuan, and Huaihuang (northeast of Inner Mongolia Wuyuan, southwest of Guyang, west of Wuchuan, southwest of Siziwangqi, northwest of Xinghe, and Zhangbei of Hebei). All of these places are located at the passes of the mountain, and some strongholds have been set up in other passes. dragged the southern invasion of the northern nomads, and could not step on the mountain even a step.

On the contrary, from this piece of land, a straight line was formed, and it was easier to mobilize troops, and the north attacked the desert many times, defeating the Rouran, Gaoche and other tribes.

It is very similar to the current Qinghai policy.

However, after the Northern Wei Dynasty shifted its focus to the south, it neglected the north, and without plunder, there would be no source of unexpected wealth. The increase in population, coupled with natural disasters**, has made people's lives miserable. Some mediocre generals served as town generals, but they only knew how to accumulate money and annex fertile land, and the townsmen could only cultivate more than ten barren dry lands. The ancestors of these towns have a glorious history and have made military achievements for the empire, and then the empire did not pay attention to it, and finally regarded the six towns as Lingnan, and moved the criminals to live with them. Psychological imbalance.

The invasion of the Rouran people ignited the fuse of this contradiction. The Northern Wei Dynasty sent Li Chong to lead an army of 150,000 to pursue the spear to no avail, so that the townsmen could see the ** and incompetence of the Northern Wei regime. The great uprising of Poliu Hanba and Ge Rong began.

The Six Towns Uprising caused countless heroes and satanic devils to come out of the border wilderness, breaking the Liuhan Baling, Xianyu Xiuli, Ge Rong, Gao Huan, Yuwentai, Heba Brothers, Duguxin, and Houjing...... The Gao Huan family, the Yuwentai family, the Yang Jian family, and the Li Yuan family were born......

Without the Six Towns, there would be no Gao Qi, Yuwen Zhou, Sui, and Tang.

This is a myth, a legend, but as a beneficiary, the Six Towns are also a devil and a hell.

Even Pei Judao, who was mediocre, said worriedly: "Your Majesty, think twice." ”

"......Bring the biggest map for me," said the eunuch beside Li Weiqi.

After careful screening and observation, it was only after the purge that Li Wei used a small number of eunuchs.

However, the longer-term policy was to gradually reduce the proportion of eunuchs, and instead to use a large number of palace maids, most of whom were between the ages of twenty-five and thirty, except for a few useful female officials, were repatriated to their homes between the ages of twenty-five and thirty, before they could marry and have children. In doing so, it also brought vitality to the dark harem and reduced the possibility of the eunuch dictatorship. The approach is also more humane. The map was taken.

Li Wei hung it up and said: "Let's think about the history of the Six Towns, and think about the Qinghai and the Western Regions today, regardless of the production mode, the combat effectiveness of the army, the glorious history, the generals, etc., is it very similar to the early days of the Six Towns?" There are problems in the six towns, and there will be problems in Qinghai and the Western Regions in the future. ”

More than a dozen important ministers frowned.

After thinking about it, it's really similar.

"Let's take a look at the reason for the uprising of the townspeople in the six towns, the ** of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Well, if it is a country**, will the country last long without Six Towns? ”

No one could answer.

"I am also doing this to disdain the six towns, except for some reclamation areas set up by criminals, it is not allowed to leave the officials and criminals to be exiled to Lingnan and other places, so as not to have a sense of imbalance in the hearts of the local people."

Again, no one answered. But everyone was deep in thought.

"But the main thing is that the state cannot afford their security, but needs tribute, and the most barren land is cultivated, and it is impossible to survive. Once the people can't survive, how can we say that the six towns are the Central Plains, how can there be no Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Zhang Jiao and the like? It's not safe to use your own family to guard the north gate, do you need Ashina Gulu, Ashdewenbo and others to guard the northern gate? ”

After speaking, his eyes swept over the crowd, and saw many people frowning, knowing that they had gradually changed their minds.

"Actually, it's still a cure. Whether it is the six towns or Qinghai, the people must have land to cultivate and clothes to warm. Assimilation and universal education for different races, gradually changing their customs, learning Chinese characters, and learning to speak Chinese, then the six towns are not devils. Otherwise, the people around us will not be our paradise either. This question will be talked about when the representatives of the major families arrive in Xijing. Aside from the Six Towns, it is still a long way to go in the Western Regions, and I have conducted some negotiations with various ethnic groups, such as the demise of the Gelulu and Chebishi tribes in the front, and the policy of exchanging land for land, and moving out the narrow and long area from Broken Leaf to Luntai and Jinman, for our Central Plains immigrants to cultivate in the future. There is still a lot of room for development, so there is no hurry. But look at Qinghai...... Not more, ten years later...... There will be tension in the fields. Unless you take the whole of Qinghai, you can take it easy. However, the Nodo bowl will eventually go back. In addition, Qinghai is bounded by the Yellow River in Chiling, and it is not suitable for farming to the west, so it can only be half-cultivated and half-pasted in a few places. Mixed with pieces of cultivated land, integrated and penetrated, the pro-Tang Tugu has something to do, and it can be urgently conscripted. It can only be so. But what about twenty years later? It's difficult to survive, and it's a group of people with strong combat effectiveness, what will happen? ”

A new Six Towns is responsible!

"At the end of the day, it's still a land. The heavier the annexation, the more large households are exempt from taxes, and the smaller the income of small and medium-sized households, the less land they have, but they bear more and more heavy taxes from the state. Without the six towns, there would be a crisis in the country. Therefore, I spared no expense to overhaul the water conservancy and try to increase some fertile land. In addition, after the Lingxia Tuyuhun people returned to Qinghai, they were able to free up some cultivated land, and a small amount of poor land and tenants could also be relocated in the north to reduce the urgency of the fields. The other is the south, which is mostly a small number of barbarians, backward in production, and slash-and-burn cultivation in many areas. The imperial court is inconvenient to manage, and it is chaotic from time to time, which has become the country's chicken ribs. But isn't it? In fact, some areas, such as the Yushui basin in Lingnan, are more suitable for planting than in the north, due to their abundant water flow, strong sunshine and hot weather. Because we were negligent, it became a wild place. Why is Jiangnan wet and stuffy? There are many swamp methods, and the hot water vapor is transpiring every day, and it is not easy for people to live. Will this be the case once the swamp is reduced? Why is there a gall in the south? There are few people, animals and plants die and rot, and the poisonous gas is steaming and pressing on the surface, so it is life-threatening to suck. However, when there are more people living in it, will there be paralysis? As for the heat, the Goths came here......" and pointed to Spain: "Where is it also hot, the Goths are all barbarians north of Europa, why can they survive?" Would you rather starve to death than migrate to a beautiful place? Otherwise, the restrictions of the national tax policy, the officials do not let the people leave the state and county, and they are in love with the roots. The route was far away, and the imperial court did not have subsidies, so it could not be reached, and it was impossible to survive after arriving. As long as we do some practical things, such as teaching barbarians to plough cattle, teaching planting, and getting out of the mountains and forests, the country will be able to get a long-term tax land in the future. Or do some policies to encourage the people to move to the south, and the place of Lingnan will be a big granary for us again. How many people will be accommodated in this time? ”

"I have said many times to stop the annexation. Then the imperial court can do some measures to make the rate of arable land change beyond the rate of land thirst for land due to the annexation and population growth, and if the land is not saturated, there will be no land pressure. There is even a way to go, look at here, the big islands in the South China Sea are all backward barbarians, I believe that you will not ignore the people of the Central Plains, our subjects do not care about life and death, what kind of love and morality do you talk to these barbarians, right? and large tracts of land for us to cultivate. Not only that, if you plough here......" Pointing to the ocean, he said: "To the east, there are very few islands, and they are very small, and it is difficult to leave the two huge continents to the east." But as long as we have developed here and built a large number of supply points, we can continue to extend forward, explore some small islands, and establish supply points on them one after another, where we can go. ”

"Your Majesty is inappropriate, and listen to the words of the minister, the territory is vast and cannot be managed. Hugh said that overseas, if the people of the Central Plains are thin, there will be turmoil. Wei Xuantong became bold and said what he thought in his heart.

Wei Qing's concern is also reasonable. So some time ago, I had a conversation with Di Qing and Wei Qing, and I said that it would popularize Gewu. Of course, as an auxiliary discipline, the development of Gewuxue can develop many devices for the benefit of the people, and even develop faster means of transportation, strengthen the cohesion of the empire, and improve management. And I have repeatedly said that the popularization of schools will make the common people and barbarians kingly, increase their loyalty to the empire, and cultivate more talents. The military and the government were separated, and the control and defense warlords appeared. ”

Most people don't know the inside story, and they frown again when they hear it, and this has to carry out some new things, from education to system. But it's also relieved to think about it, compared to what Luantai Fengge did some time ago, what worshiped the seven temples of the martial arts family, or something, these innovations are nothing.

Li Wei also said: "As long as the system is perfect, it is better to avoid any bad things from happening than tens of millions of people stationed in the two capitals, with no clothes to wear and no land to cultivate." This is a powder bag, ready to ignite the gunpowder that will destroy the country. ”

"Even so, Your Majesty, those overseas ......" Wei Xuantong couldn't help but shake his head: "It is possible for Lingnan to formulate some measures to strengthen management, but overseas ......"

That's for the sake of the country's way of giving birth to bream. It can't be taken seriously, there is no way to rule and manage the vast ocean separated by tens of thousands of miles.

"It's still wrong, technology is developing, the speed of ships will get faster and faster, and the carrying capacity of ships will also get bigger and bigger, at least not far from us, the imperial court can accommodate management. And they are located in the middle of the sea, and there is no other force to interfere, so why can't they be managed? Far away, yes, I admit unmanageable. But if an envoy from such a country came from such a far away place to pay tribute, would everyone be happy? How many people are relocated depends on the imperial court. If the country grows to a population of 100 million trillions and has no land to cultivate, will the people be allowed to kill and sell their daughters? Why can't they be humanely relocated somewhere? For example, a strange country comes to pay tribute, and we are born of the same root, why not? ”

These words have been held in my heart for a long time, and today I finally said them.

The state is somewhat cruel and conservative to people of the same nationality abroad, but when the country is in trouble, most of these overseas Chinese reach out. Once you move far, it is very likely that one by one** kingdoms will appear in distant places. But in the end, it is born from the same root, no matter how it develops in the future, the adsorption force is stronger than the centrifugal force.

This is different from the United States, it is composed of countless countries of all sizes, and each suzerainty is very small and has no adsorption force, so it has become a country. But at this time, a thousand years in advance, these several good regions, in a few hundred years, can become the territory of the Chinese.

continued: "Not only that, but I am in a bit of a hurry, and there is one more thing. On which continent, there are several kinds of grain, which are well adapted to arid terrain, and the yield is much higher than that of rice stamps, even up to ten times. Ladies and gentlemen, if you bow it in, what will it do? ”

"Your Majesty, what kind of food is it?" Pei Judao asked in surprise.

If that's the case, it's not a trivial matter.

"Well, there are several. But as you can see, further east, there aren't too many islands, and they're very small. If you don't find out the shipping lanes and set up supply points, the ships can't get anywhere. There are a large number of indigenous people living on it, and I only know where these kinds of food grow, and I don't know where they are. Then a large number of troops must be sent, maybe 5,000 people, maybe 10,000 people, and where they are, they will have to resist the forces of the local natives in order to get them back. Once obtained, and promoted, the food problem will be worry-free for 500 years. ”

This significance is not trivial, as long as there is enough to eat, which person is willing to rebel?

He asked again: "Then the six towns, are there any difficulties?" ”

Wei Zhigu pondered and said, "I'm afraid that the states and counties and big families are unwilling to release people." ”
