Shang Haibo and Lu Yiming were in the dust, and when they saw Li Qing, the two of them hugged their fists at the same time and slammed them to the ground, "Congratulations to the handsome, congratulations to the handsome, three years of peace, there is no ancient, and there is no one to come!" ”

Li Qing laughed and stepped forward quickly, helping the two of them up, "The two of you have worked hard from afar, come into the room to rest, Huzi, set the wine, serve the food, I and the two adults will wash the dust and catch the wind!" ”

The dishes are quite grassland style, a big bowl of wine, a big bowl of meat, piled up with a few cases, the two are also hungry, thank Li Qing, they will eat according to a case, Shang Haibo has been in the army for a long time, and he has a military demeanor, drinking wine in a big bowl, eating meat in a big gulp, only eating juice, and Lu Yiming does not take off his true character as a scholar, although he is hungry, he still eats meat and drinks slowly, and he eats meat and drinks in a slow manner.

Li Qing smiled and looked at the two important ministers under him, as soon as these two arrived, a series of reforms for the barbarians were about to begin.

After a little leaning, the two of them were full of wine and food, and Shang Haibo even burped a big full, and laughed: "I am used to eating Dingzhou food, and occasionally eating a grassland dish, but it also has a unique flavor." ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "The two of you have worked hard from afar, you might as well rest today, and how about we discuss it tomorrow?" ”

Shang Haibo shook his head again and again, "A hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, how dare I slack off in my life, compared to the big handsome, we are just rushing for a while, how dare we talk about hard work, and the carriage produced in Dingzhou is also very comfortable, now full of wine and food, it is a good time to discuss things, the big handsome don't have to worry, I and the old road's body and bones are very good." People are in good spirits when they are happy, and such a happy event is to let me sleep, and I can't sleep. ”

Lu Yiming nodded again and again, "Exactly, exactly, Dashuai, Dingzhou's affairs are complicated, especially after our army occupies Qixia Pass, then Wu Zecheng will not forgive, it is really a headache, solve the matter of the barbarians, we must also return to Dingzhou as soon as possible." ”

"In that case, it will be hard for the two adults!" Li Qing is not hypocritical, now is indeed a time to race against time, "The two of you are here, have you made some preparations?" ”

Lu Yiming arched his hand and said: "The barbarians are newly determined, the order is re-established, the people's hearts are gathered, and the management is strengthened, all of which are the top priorities. ”

Li Qingxi said: "It should be so, I have planned some laws and regulations, and I am sending people, although this move of Lord Lu has solved my urgent need, but Dingzhou itself has insufficient officials, and bringing a group of people over, will it affect the operation of Dingzhou?" ”

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "There must be an impact, but in order to let Dingzhou's backyard play the role he should play as soon as possible, a little difficulty can be overcome." ”

Shang Haibo continued: "The handsome must have a belly case. ”

Li Qing nodded, "Yes, these words, I have planned a batch of bills against the barbarians, and I am about to ask the two of you to consider them together." ”

"Please make it clear!" The two said in unison.

"First, a property preservation order!" Li Qing took the document on the case and said: "The barbarian Xinding, whether it is the barbarian nobles or the ordinary people, are worried that our army will plunder their wealth on a large scale, because they have done this in the past, and they are very afraid that we will govern them in the same way. In order to reassure the people, I have decided to issue this decree, so that whether it is the tribal leaders of the barbarians or the common people, their private property can be preserved, and our army cannot plunder it wantonly. ”

Shang Haibo said with a smile: "In this way, it will be cheaper for those aristocratic leaders, who have robbed a lot of good things from our Dingzhou over the years." ”

Lu Yiming continued: "Dashuai's move is excellent, with this bill, it can make these people feel at ease, and it will play a vital role in the stability of the grassland, I think, as long as the wealth of these people can be preserved, no one will take risks." ”

"It seems that the two of you have no opinion on this bill!" Li Qing handed the scroll in his hand to the two of them and said, "After the two of you go down, you can retouch and polish the words and consider the words." ”

"Second, the abolition order!" Li Qing continued.

"The barbarians still practice slavery, and the barbarian ordinary people except for the free people, most of them have become slaves of the aristocratic heads, these people have no private property, and their lives are extremely difficult, and after giving birth to children, the children automatically become the domestic slaves of the nobles, which is very contrary to my Dingzhou and the legal system of my Central Plains, and at the same time inhibits the wisdom and wisdom of this group of people, I want to liberate this group of people, so that they can also become free people, since the promulgation of the decree, under the Dingzhou system, no more slaves are allowed."

"Once this decree is promulgated, although the interests of the noble leaders will be lost, with the property preservation order, they will presumably grit their teeth and accept it." Shang Haibo said: "What's more, this move will free those who have no choice but to become slaves, even if the marshal can't get the allegiance of these people for the time being, but it will also make these people grateful to me Dingzhou, and no longer be enemies with us, but there is one thing that the marshal has to worry about, even if these aristocratic leaders obey the order to give these people freedom, but I am afraid that these people will be allowed to leave the house, how to settle them, so that they have food, clothing, and housing, I am afraid that it will be a huge expense." ”

Li Qing nodded yes, "This is indeed a problem, but we can get through it by gritting our teeth, not to mention that we can learn from the experience we had in Dingzhou, we can use work for relief, in short, how to do it, you need to bother Lord Lu." ”

Lu Yiming's face turned bitter, why did he always give me some almost impossible tasks.

Li Qing didn't look at Lu Yiming's face, picked up another volume of copywriting, and said, "Third, the migration order." ”

As soon as these three words came out, the faces of Shang Haibo and Lu Yiming changed slightly, and Lu Yiming completely forgot the tricky task he had just received, and the two of them said together: "Be cautious." Just by listening to these few words, the two of them already understood that Li Qing wanted to move the barbarians internally, forcing the other party to leave his hometown and enter the Dingzhou area, which was very difficult for ordinary barbarians to accept.

"I know what you think, but it's imperative." Li Qing did not allow the two of them to question, and said loudly: "The migration order is divided into two parts, the first part is the head of the great nobles of the barbarians, such as Boyan, Su Shun and others, they must move to Dingzhou City to live, I will give them a noble status and good treatment, but they must be under our sight and isolated from their people." ”

"The second part of the migration order is aimed at the two major tribes of Bai and Huang, who are still powerful, and I am going to set their settlement on the grassland between Shanglinli and Fuyuan."

"After several years of operation, Shanglinli has now formed a big city with tens of thousands of residents, and Fuyuan is an important town in Dingzhou, and we can respond in time to put these two tribes on the land between the two cities, no matter what they want to do." Li Qing said slowly.

"But Dashuai, the intention of this move to prevent surveillance is too obvious, I am afraid that it will arouse the disgust of the other party." Shang Haibo muttered, "Has the marshal communicated with the leaders of the two departments on this matter?" ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Boyan has already agreed, the defeated always have to pay some price." Boyan is a person who understands and is also a smart person. ”

"We let these two tribes settle here, teach them farming, let them convert from nomadic herding to settlement, build schools there, let their children learn the culture of the Central Plains, encourage the Central Plains people to intermarry with the barbarians, dilute their bloodline, and wait until these children grow up, they have long studied the culture of the Central Plains, they have heard and seen the customs of the Central Plains, speak our language, and even the outstanding among them have become our officials, and the young and strong among them have become our warriors, you think, decades later, Will there be any difference between these two tribes and our Central Plains people? ”

Shang Haibo and Lu Yiming glanced at each other, Dashuai This is a strategy to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, it has been planned for decades, if everything goes well, then after a few decades, the two strongest barbarians will be completely assimilated into the Great Chu people, and the Bai and Huang clans will become two terms in history.

The big handsome's plan is so far-reaching, it is indeed heartbreaking.

"Dashuai's move can make me the governor of peace and stability for a long time, although there will be some difficulties in the early stage, so I will seek it for our children and grandchildren, we will work harder, and it is nothing." Shang Haibo said solemnly.

"It's just that this move will cost a lot of money, and Lord Lu will have a headache again!" Li Qing said with a smile.

"There are many lice and no itching, and there are many debts, anyway, it is already like this, three jars, two lids, tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, it's really not good, I'll just go and pester the handsome!" Lu Yiming said with a smile.

"In order to calm down the barbarians as soon as possible, we are afraid that we will have to prepare to invest a lot of money, grain and grass in the grassland in the early stage to help the barbarians survive the difficult period, and this time, I estimate that it will take at least three years." Li Qingzheng said, "We are Dingzhou, and we still have to live a hard time next!" ”

"Only when you suffer hardship can you become a master." Shang Haibo is meaningful and authentic.

"This is my three strategies!" Li Qingdao: "Next, we will talk about the most important issue at the moment that must be dealt with immediately, about the administrative division and management of the grassland and the Wei people outside the Guanwai. ”

"Does the handsome have a plan?" Shang Haibo asked.

"I'm going to set up the Western Regions Protectorate to manage the affairs of the grassland and the Murwei people." Li Qingdao.

Shang Haibo said: "Dashuai, if only one Western Regions Protectorate is established, but it manages such a large place, the power of the Metropolitan Protectorate is too large, and the scope of management of the two is too wide, both of which are not conducive to the long-term peace and stability of Dingzhou, in my opinion, it is better to divide this Metropolitan Protectorate into two, one or more forests as the center, which is for the Eastern Capital of the Western Regions, and one is centered on Murwei, which is for the Western Protectorate, so that the power of the two Metropolitan Protectorates can be thinned, which is conducive to the management of Dingzhou." ”

Li Qing pondered for a moment, "Mr. Shang's words are honest for Lao Cheng's words to seek the country, and I have no opinion." ”

Lu Yiming said: "The two newly established yamen, are the military and the government separated, or the military and the government are integrated? ”

Shang Haibo immediately said: "It is necessary to separate the military and the government, and it is the best policy for the military and the government to contain and balance each other." ”

"Then the selection of candidates for both the military and the political side must be cautious, and it is necessary to be able to cooperate and supervise each other, which is a bit difficult. These two places are newly determined, especially on the side of the Murowei people, and the difficulties are even greater. Lu Yiming said.

Li Qing nodded and said: "It must be more difficult for the Murwei people to be there, although we eliminate the Murwei people, although it is for the long-term peace and stability of Dingzhou, but from a moral point of view, it is really unreasonable, so the Murwei people's side, regardless of military and political affairs, must be capable and able to hold the scene." We must be cautious about the candidates for these two metropolitan protectors. ”
