Chapter 333: Gathering

At the turn of spring and summer, the cloudless sky is even bluer, and the top of the snowy peaks is also dyed with a layer of indigo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Sounds Novel WW The endless grassland, green grass like waves, occasionally dotted with many unknown wildflowers, colorful and intoxicating. Under the snow-capped mountains, on the banks of the long river, and in the jungles, you can see herds of cattle, sheep, horses, and young men and women grazing everywhere. Horses chase each other, young men and women play with each other, whips and loud songs resound through the grasslands.

The white boulder castle stands under the blue sky, next to the snow-capped mountains, and above the grassland.

At this moment, the white castle was full of people, and all kinds of flags were flying. What is amazing is that this castle, which does not look like the architecture of the Han Dynasty at all, has flags on the city, but it is full of Han Dynasty flags. There are not only dragons, tigers, and red birds, but also obvious Chinese characters on many flags, such as "Han", "Zhang" and other characters, which abound.

Seeing the five-colored Han flag hunting in the wind, a long procession of chariots and horses appeared from the eastern horizon and cheered through the heavens and the earth. Similarly, the crowd up and down the white castle also echoed the earth-shattering prices.

In the middle of the procession, the curtain of a white-painted carriage was lifted, revealing Zhaojun's slightly tired, but joyful face.

Qing Yan rode his horse closer, and couldn't hide his excitement: "Madam, it's here!" ”

"yes...... After two whole months, it finally arrived. Zhaojun stared at the white castle, and there was a mist in his eyes. Suddenly, she was shocked, and her eyes lit up.

Almost at the same time, Gongsun Fu, who had opened the road in front, galloped over, shouting as he ran: "The prince himself went out of the city to greet you!" ”

With the shouts of Gongsun Fu, a team of people appeared in the distance. As the people approached, the banner of "Han Envoy, Fuping Marquis Zhang" was particularly eye-catching. The sun was shining, and under the banner, the figure on the white horse seemed to be draped in a layer of golden light, stepping on the green waves.

Zhaojun's tears were like springs, and Qingyan's eyes were red. Hundreds of Han people wept and worshipped.

At the end of April of the second year of its establishment, the first batch of Hedong Han people who had gone through hardships lasted two years and traveled tens of thousands of miles, and finally arrived in Star Picking City. There were more than 700 people when they left, but only 500 people when they arrived. Although the number of people is small and does not bring much motivation to the exhibition of Star City, their arrival has far-reaching significance. This is the first time that the footprints of Han immigrants have extended thousands of miles away. The long-distance migration path of the immigrants also laid the foundation for the continuous migration of the Han people in the future.

When the second time there are thousands, the third time thousands, the fourth ...... It wasn't until later that the Star City became a veritable "City of Han", and people would not forget that at the beginning, the 700 Han people were blue......

The arrival of Hermes-Epitek made Zhang Fang even busier. Fortunately, he is a person with almost infinite energy, it is difficult to imagine that he can manage a large trading city in an orderly manner with only two or three assistants, and at the same time balance the various interests of the various forces in the city, so that the Star Picking City can survive the most difficult period.

Zhang Fang is not a natural politician, and he does not have much management experience, and the Star Picking City in the early days of the exhibition gave him a good chance of practicing his mobile phone. Before Hermes-Epitek arrived, he had accumulated more than a year of governance experience, and had initially reached the level of a prefectural order. When the first batch of Hermes-Epitek arrived, Zhang Fang was able to cope with the surplus.

At present, Zhang Fang first faced the problem of Hermes-Epitek's sense of belonging.

It is undeniable that most of these Han people who have left their homeland and traveled thousands of miles do not want to come to this star-picking city. Since ancient times, immigrants have never said voluntarily, even if there is the temptation of free land and cattle and sheep. The Western Regions Protectorate is the best example, it has been open for decades, and if you really want to fight, you can't pull out many people, and the main force has to rely on the conscription of the surrounding cities. Of course, there are also reasons why the imperial court is afraid of the tail.

All Zhang Fang can do is to fulfill his original promise to Hermes-Epitek as soon as possible, distribute housing, land, production tools, and animal power in place, and integrate Hermes-Epitek into life here as soon as possible. The fact that the Chinese all over the world in later generations is enough to prove that the Han people can survive and multiply tenaciously wherever they go.

Zhang Fang is now thinking about it, and the next important person may be inclined to "slash", that is, to find the kind of person who has committed a crime in China. This type of person is more adventurous and aggressive, and is suitable for forming a cavalry army.

"The gold absorption power of Star Picking City is undoubted, and the accommodating capacity of Star Picking City is also sufficient, what we lack at the moment is only people - to be precise, Han people."

In the Council Chamber of the Old Palace, a huge oval table made of six tables was placed in the center, and only one person sat on it. On both sides, Tao Sheng, Deng Zhan, Alimu, Gongsun Fu, Han Jun, Han Chong, Ban Zhi, Ban Xing, Lin Tianci and others sat respectively. Oh, and two more ladies: Zhaojun and Qingyan.

In Star Picking City, Zhang Fang has abandoned the kneeling ceremony and adopted a sitting posture. Outside this grassland, the Hanfu with wide robes and bands can only be used as casual clothes, and all the regular clothes are all casual clothes designed by Zhang Fang himself and tied with buttons as the knot, similar to the windbreakers of later generations. Star City is a shopping mall, with strong pragmatism, and the lightness, novelty, and practicality of the new regular clothes quickly made everyone accept it. And the new regular clothes sit on the chair, naturally there are no indecent situations such as walking away and showing off treasures.

Of course, good is good, convenience is convenient, I don't know if these people can adapt to the imperfect Hanfu when they return to the Han realm.

Hearing Zhang Fang say that there was a shortage of manpower, Lin Tianci spoke at the right time: "Let me talk about my feelings, after nearly a month of experience, Lin dares to assert that in the entire Western Regions, there is no city that can compare to Star Picking City." If the prince does not give up, Lin is willing to urge the king to move our state to your city. ”

Zhang Fangxi said: "This is very good, Wudan is a descendant of the Han army, and he has the same root as me, so he should help each other." ”

Hearing the two answers, Tao Sheng and Deng Zhan looked at each other and smiled. Of course, Lin Tianci did not propose this merger strategy because of the sudden heat in his head, but in private, they did not know how many times they discussed and negotiated, and finally reached an agreement, which was officially proposed at the meeting. And once it is proposed on this formal occasion, it is basically a foregone conclusion. If it weren't for that, with Lin Tianci's identity, it would be impossible for him to attend the internal meeting of Star City.

Wudan is fragmented, and there are only two or three hundred people in the Hu tribe, and because they abide by Han customs and do not intermarry with the surrounding ethnic groups, the situation has become worse and worse in recent years. In the eyes of a person of insight like Lin Tianci, if this continues, in a few decades, Wudan will either be integrated by the surrounding clans or die out on its own. The Han Dynasty will not accept them, so the best way out is to merge into Star Picking City. This is a wise choice, Lin Tianci believes that the clan elders will definitely pass.

Han Jun also stood up and said: "On Jiankun's side, Li Ren also expressed his willingness to join, and there are also clans in Hujie and Ding Ling who want to join. ”

Zhang Fang nodded: "It's okay for all ethnic groups to join, but for non-Han people, our access is rather lacking than indiscriminate, and the ratio of Han permanent residents to Hu permanent residents should be kept at three to one." Of course, this is a long-term goal, and it can't be achieved right now. I'm going to set up a residency system, and here's an outline for everyone to look at and discuss with each other about the feasibility ......"

When the meeting came to an end, Zhang Fang patted the table, drew the attention of everyone in the discussion, and said, "In the next month, I will be out of town for a while." In my absence, the affairs of the city were handed over to the five-member group of Tao Sheng, Deng Zhan, Gongsun Fu, Ban Zhi, and Han Jun. Decisions are made by the number of votes, and the minority obeys the majority. If there is indeed a difficult decision, it can be left to Zhaojun for final decision. ”

This is to let Zhaojun act as the city lord. Everyone's expressions were very calm, a female envoy who had presided over the negotiation of Wusun and Kunmi had this ability and prestige, and no one was dissatisfied.

At this time, Ban Zhi asked intentionally or unintentionally: "I don't know where the prince is going?" ”

"The city of Khotan." Zhang Fang did not shy away from it, faced Ban Zhi directly, and said calmly, "Talk to the old king about the princess's marriage." (To be continued.) )
