In order to make up for the population gap on the grassland, Luan Yi specially extracted 300,000 Qiang and 100,000 Karasuma slaves from the Central Plains, exempted them from slavery and let them move to the old Xianbei grassland to settle permanently, and at the same time, after obtaining the permission of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, 50,000 Xiongnu were transferred to the Xianbei grassland for grazing. Rainbow Net, with you all the way! In addition, he also sent 30,000 criminals who violated the Han law to the grassland, and they were never allowed to enter the customs.

The population of the steppe was thus enriched.

The situation between Xianbei and Xiongnu is different. In the Xiongnu, the prestige of Shan Yu was still there, and Luan Yi had to adopt the model of dividing the feuds, treating the emperor as a vassal king, with him in charge, while the empire only sent officials, troops, and churches to supervise it. For Xianbei, the leader of the Xianbei people, the Khan Kebineng of the Danshi Mountain Khan Court, was killed in battle, and more than half of the Xianbei people, who had a total population of just over 500,000, were slaughtered.

According to reliable information, the remaining 200,000 Xianbei people, fearing the power of the empire, chose to move away from the steppes that gave birth to them and moved further north to Siberia, led by the leaders of the various tribes.

In the extremely cold land of Siberia, Luan Yi was too lazy to continue the pursuit, or more accurately, he doubted that the Xianbei people would be able to adapt to the icy and snowy environment there. After this battle, Xianbei has declined, and it is no longer meaningful to fight hard, so it is better to let it fend for itself.

The Xianbei people took it away, and the whole grassland people went to hollow out. There are neither rulers nor natives. If Luan Yi occupies it, he will not have to be as timid as he is to the Xiongnu, and he will need to take into account the rejection of outsiders by the inhabitants of Shan Yuyuan ++m.+ulu. Rather, it can be built in a big way, completely transforming it into part of the empire's territory.

He renamed the Xianbei grassland Luzhou, which is the state of the extreme north. And according to the trend of the grassland, Luzhou is divided into seven large counties, and there is no county in the county, but according to the nomadic customs of the grassland people, the so-called tun actually refers to the tribe. Each tun has a tun chief, whose official position is equivalent to the Qipin county order, and a tun lieutenant, who is responsible for tribal security; There is one archbishop, who is responsible for tribal missions. The three restrain each other, coordinate with each other, and directly obey the orders of the county.

Zhang Zhao, the first governor of the state, was responsible for overseeing the affairs of the state, and the officials of civil, military and educational institutions at all levels of counties and counties were either promoted and transferred from local officials in the Central Plains, or recruited by scientific expeditions. It is expected that after next year's spring ploughing, he will arrive at the grassland with the migrants and perform his duties according to the plan.

Since most of the new residents of Luzhou were Qiang, Luan Yi transferred Ma Chao from his position as the chief general of the Templar Legion, and used his prestige among the Qiang people to make him the governor of the three armies of Luzhou, giving him an overview of the soldiers and horses of Luzhou.

In order to prevent Ma Teng and Ma Chao from controlling the military power of Liangzhou and Luzhou at the same time, he transferred Ma Teng from Xiliang and entered Beijing to serve as a squire in the military department.

Although the squire and the military governor are both at the same level and the second rank of the dynasty, from the perspective of official positions, they are equivalent to generals and ministers, and for Ma Teng, it is actually a half-step promotion. In this regard, Ma Teng was naturally very pleased. For Luan Yi, Ma Teng has also become a hostage to stay in the capital to a certain extent, so as to avoid Ma Chao's ambition after he holds power.

From May of the 21st year of the Shengyuan Dynasty to April 22, Luan Yi stayed in the grassland for a year, personally commanding the establishment of Luzhou. From the division of county borders, to the investigation of the distribution of grasslands and grasslands, to the resettlement of new residents who have arrived one after another...... It is not uncomplicated to start a huge state and county.

Although Luan Yi was not directly involved in all the things, he had to be the one who made the decision in the end. This is also the reason why he has been unable to get out and return to Luoyang for a long time.

In February of the 22nd year of the Shengyuan, a group of Goguryeo envoys trekked through mountains and rivers to Danshi Mountain. The vigor of the first life, a Goguryeo robe is driven by the grassland breeze, bringing out the majestic muscles covered by the sleeves of the robe. His name is Yeonpi, and he is the first fierce general under the new king of Goguryeo.

Fifteen envoys, plus an accompanying escort of Xian Ming, led him to ride their horses to the Khan Court of Danshi Mountain. Yan Pi couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at it.

He had been here more than once, and he was very familiar with the internal and external structure of the Khan Court, however, the Khan Court in front of him was very different from the last time he came.

"It's only been a little over a year since I left, how did it change so much." He couldn't help but be shocked.

In my memory, the Danshi Mountain Khan Court is a mud wall structure, which means that the outer city wall is a mud wall made of manpower, not the stone wall in front of you. What made him even more different was that the stone bricks used to build the stone wall were not square stones hewn from stones, but rectangular bricks of a unified system. This further strengthens the brick-to-brick fit. At the same time, he also found that there was a gray substance between the two pieces of masonry, but he did not know the specific function.

There is still a lot he doesn't know, he hasn't been to the Central Plains to witness the prosperity of Luoyang, of course he doesn't know what artificially fired bricks are, and he doesn't know what cement is.

With curiosity about the unknown, he walked through the gate of the Danshi Mountain Khan Court. After seeing the brick and stone buildings replacing the old dilapidated tents; On the clean street, cars come and go, and when the shouts come and go, "Is this still Danshi Mountain Khan Ting?" If it weren't for the fact that the streets and alleys were full of Qiang and Huns wearing traditional costumes, he even thought that he had gone in the wrong direction and accidentally broke into a Central Plains city.

"Hey! The guy ...... Say about you! What the hell! Dian Man, the son of Dian Wei, who was patrolling the streets, saw Yan Pi's eyes, so he stopped them for interrogation.

Yan Pi learned the etiquette of the Central Plains people and bowed to Dianman, "In the lower Goguryeo envoys, I beg to see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Emperor? What age is it, and the emperor is still the emperor! In the first year of the Holy Year, our Majesty is the Pope. With a disdainful smile, Nomoman arched his hand to the south.

"The Pope......" Yan Pi couldn't understand the difference between the Pope and the Emperor for a while, "Can I ask to see the Pope?" ”

"You're looking for me to ask the right person." Dian Man said with joy.

"Oh? Can you see it? Yan Pixi asked.

"Can't!" Dian's face drooped.

"Why?"

"Your Majesty went out to inspect and is not in Danshi City, as for when you will come back...... It's hard to say. If you want to see his old man, you might as well wait in the city for some time. A short left turn at the front intersection is the post station, where you can stay for the time being. Next door to the post station is the county yamen, so you'd better go there to report and get a paperwork. In the future, if there are any officers and soldiers to investigate, you only need to show the documents, so you don't have to worry about words. After Dian Man finished speaking, he arched his hand to Yan Pi, "I still have military affairs with me, so I don't accompany me." Go and stay on your own! ”

Yan Pi Fang knew that the Central Plains general in front of him was actually a warm-hearted person, but he was just a little arrogant.

In fact, Yan Pi's evaluation of Dianman's arrogance is not fair. When talking to him, although Dianman is arrogant, it is limited to him, or more precisely, limited to foreigners and Fanbang, and to the Chinese of the same race and friends around him, Dianman has always been humble and honest. This is related to the fact that he received a good education since he was a child under the coercion of Luan Yi and Dian Wei, and the reason why he despises foreigners and Fanbang people so much is because of the current social atmosphere in the Central Plains.

As the empire grew stronger and stronger, those merchants who were accustomed to seeing the world and often walked in the grasslands, the Western Regions, and the southern countries suddenly found that no matter the military strength of the empire, the prosperity of the markets in the empire, the richness of the products, the richness of the cultural atmosphere, or the richness of the people's lives, they were far beyond the Fanbang and the foreigners.

The wealth of the most ordinary people in the empire is enough to be rich in small countries like Goguryeo and Loulan, and in front of the wealth owned by the rich people of the empire, the king of Qiuzi is simply a rich man. And his land is not only in wealth, but also in temperament, virtue and learning.

After the competition of hardware and software, although the people of the empire knew that Fanbang was ugly before, they never realized that they were so much superior to foreigners, not by an order of magnitude.

Subsequently, the imperial army reported frequent successes, with the Qiang, Xiongnu, and Xianbei people falling one after another, whether in the Central Plains or foreign Goguryeo, Buyeo, Xiongnu, Nanyue, and Ryukyu people, they saw the Chinese like mice and cats, trembling and groveling. The people of the empire suddenly felt more faced, and a strong sense of national and national pride was born.

It is under the influence of such an atmosphere that the people feel that the empire is better than the Gentiles, that the people of the empire are smarter, industrious, united, and friendly than the foreigners, that the products of the empire are richer, superior, and refined than the Gentiles, and that the court of the empire is fair and incorruptible...... His Majesty of the Empire is good at war, wise and martial, and cares for the people.

Although Luan Yi knew that this trend of thought with the tendency of chauvinism of a great power was somewhat extreme, and could even be said to be pathological, he did not correct and guide it. Because he knows that the current Chinese people need to establish a strong national pride in order to strengthen their sense of mission to the nation and the country, so that their hearts can be united with the country and the nation.

Luan Yi inspected for more than half a month before returning to Danshi Mountain.

Upon learning of Luan Yi's return, the Goguryeo envoy Yeonpi immediately went to pay a visit, but was stopped at the door by a burly general who looked very similar to the Dianman general he had seen some time ago.

Yan Pi had no choice but to go back. However, the next day he visited again, but was rejected by Dian Wei on the same grounds, a third time, a fourth time......

After suffering setbacks again and again, Yan Pi gasped in his heart, and said in his heart, the world-famous pope of the Holy Chinese Empire would not be resentful because of the former Goguryeo sending troops to help the Xianbei people fight the Huns!

In that case, Goguryeo would be in danger. Compared with the huge Chinese Empire, Goguryeo is simply an ant-like existence, during the Han Dynasty, the Han court sent Goguryeo several times and three times to deal a heavy blow, the most serious one was not for Wang Mang's faintness, which helped, Goguryeo was almost destroyed by the Han Dynasty.

Although Fang Jin Dahan is not there, everyone knows that the Holy Chinese Empire is stronger than the Great Han. Even big clans like the Xiongnu and Xianbei were not his opponents, let alone Goguryeo.

Thinking of this, Yan Pi Deng was like an ant on a hot pot.
