Chapter 355: The Bone Chief's Self-Recommendation
"Since everyone agrees with the immigration application of Chenggong County, the matter is settled. Li Kang said, "Next, let's discuss the details...".
"Your Majesty, your subordinates think that it is advisable to be small and many, and not to save trouble. Guan Zhong took the lead in saying, "The size of the tribe that has been moved is better than five hundred. ”
"Reasonable!" Li Kangzan said.
"The king can give official positions to the chiefs, elders and other prominent people of the tribes, and let them fill the localities, so that the two families can merge more quickly, regardless of each other... At the same time, it can also show the attitude of the monarch to treat everyone equally. Yang Pingwei said.
"Well, you can...", Li Kang said.
"Or it may be possible to marry to reassure him. Zhao said.
Li Kang frowned, but he still nodded, and accepted Zhao Guo's suggestion, he was also a broken jar, anyway, among the dozen wives, except for a few people such as Tan Yunxian and Xue Tao, the others are the products of marriage, and if there are more debts, it doesn't matter if you add one or two.
"When the immigrants are in place, they can organize the immigrant tribes into households and live together, weakening their tribal consciousness and instilling the concept of the Chinese family..."
"Yes!"
"Enrich the number of Han people in Chenggong County, dilute the proportion of people, so that it will be all Chinese in a few decades!" said Sang Hongyang.
"Yes!"
"Dispatching teachers, establishing middle schools, increasing the proportion of Chinese studies, political science, and history, so that all children of the tribesmen can go to school, regardless of gender, and can learn Chinese characters, speak Chinese, and use the children to lead the parents, which can speed up the process of integration between the tribesmen and the people... At the same time, let him form a friendship with the children of the Han family, form the idea that you and I are one, and when he becomes an adult, he will be my good son in China!"
"Yes!"
"You can only learn literature within three generations..."
"Yes!"
"You can match her women with her sons, and your aboriginal women with your men..."
"Yes!"
"Reward the herdsmen who take the lead in learning Chinese customs and speak Chinese..."
"Yes!"
"Create an opportunity to weaken the image of the tribal nobility among the herdsmen, and instill in them that with the protection of Huaxia, they can no longer fear anyone, and the privileges of the former nobles will not be recognized by Huaxia!"
"Yes!"
......
"Your Majesty, after these herdsmen moved to Chenggong Island, did they allocate pasture?" asked Guan Zhong.
Li Kang shook his head decisively and said, "No, the children of the Han family are still not allowed to divide the land, how can the barbarians be an exception?"
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Yang Pingwei hurriedly said.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Yang Pingwei had already taken the lead, and the others had no choice but to shout.
"Your Majesty, most of these herdsmen do not have their own pastures on the grassland, the pastures only belong to the nobles, compared with the tenants of China, the status of these herdsmen is even lower, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are slaves! Therefore, grazing for the Chinese shogunate and grazing for the nobles of the grassland, the nature is the same, they will not have complaints, on the contrary, my Chinese shogunate inherits the mandate of heaven, and the people are herdsmen, and the government is benevolent, and the laws issued are all public laws. The people will only be grateful to the Huaxia shogunate for a more relaxed social environment, a better quality of life and more promising life prospects, and they will pay tribute to the king. In less than two or three years, he will only know the king, only Huaxia, but not the chief. Yang Pingwei explained.
Of course, Yang Pingwei said that all the people present knew that the reason why Guan Zhong still asked the last question was purely to test Li Kang's attitude towards the land policy, to be honest, not only the Chinese people, but even many ministers were dissatisfied with Li Kang's strict land policy.
There is no land heirloom, which will always feel unreliable for the Chinese people, their official position cannot be passed down from generation to generation, and money is also floating, only land is the foundation of the family.
It's just that now it seems that Li Kang's attitude is still resolute, and there is no sign of loosening, which can't help but make people both helpless and disappointed.
"In this case, there will be a division of pastoral areas..."Li Kang said.
......
Five days later, Feijiang Town, Suwu County.
A group of dozens of horsemen rode along the north bank of the river and went upstream.
"When we occupy this area in the future, we must plant flowers and trees along the coast to stabilize the soil and prevent sand..."Duanmu Ci held a horsewhip in his hand and pointed to the vast land on both sides of the river, looking very high-spirited.
"When the time comes, I will write to the king and fight for the position of governor of this place. ”
"Duanmu Shilang is arrogant!" Yuan Jia is the mayor of the town, and there are many things that need to be dealt with, so he did not accompany Duanmu Ci, and now he is with Duanmu Ci is the head of the health department of Feijiang Town, that is, Tan Yunxian's father.
At that time, Gang is also willing to build a large hospital here to relieve the pain of injuries and illnesses for Chinese immigrants. ”
"Hahaha, all the gentlemen encourage each other!" Duanmu Ci smiled noncommittally, and in his heart, he didn't value this "Guozhang" very much, because the other party did not show the ability to impress him.
The group stayed nearby for a while, and even encountered a wave of small tribes that were migrating, Duanmu Ci gave them some food and small gifts in a friendly manner, and was immediately warmly welcomed by the other party, and brushed the first wave of prestige among the northern barbarians.
Towards the end of the evening, the group rushed back to Feijiang Town.
"Uncle Duanmu, are you having fun?"
As soon as Duanmu Ci came back, he saw Yuan Jia with a smile on his face, and immediately smiled angrily: "I was patrolling the border, and when it came to your kid's mouth, it became fun..."
"Hehe..."Yuan Jia smiled and said nothing.
"Say, what's the matter?" Duanmu Ci took the towel handed over by his entourage, took a basin of cold water, washed his face, then threw the towel aside, found a chair to sit down, looked at Yuan Jia and asked.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Uncle Duanmu..."Yuan Jia shook his head and smiled, took out an official letter of instruction from his arms, and handed it to Duanmu Ci, "This is from the hair this morning, and the little nephew has already read it in advance, and I think it is very constructive and operable." ”
"Oh?" Duanmu Ci raised his eyebrows, didn't speak, took the official letter and looked at it himself, half a quarter of an hour later, Duanmu Ci put down the official letter, sighed: "In the five thousand years of China, there have been many times to let the northern nomads go south to eat, the intention is nothing more than to divide and win over, help the weak to resist the strong, and even just to satisfy the vanity of the ruler and the face and reputation of benevolence and righteousness of the Heavenly Empire. However, judging from the specific measures taken by the princes, my head is still sober, and my lord is sage!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Yuan Jia echoed, and then said: "Uncle Duanmu, now with your familiarity with the Beiban, how to choose, how to screen, how to communicate, how to persuade, the monarch has entrusted you with full authority... It can be seen that the king trusts you, this is the time for my generation to serve the monarchy!"
"Your Excellency trusts, I am not only happy, but also under pressure... Chenggong County and the Third Cavalry Regiment are waiting for this, and they can't delay, and they must send the first batch of people over as soon as possible! Hey, it's difficult!" Duanmu Ci rubbed his head and said with a wry smile.
"Hehe, isn't there just a ready-made one right now, why does Uncle Duanmu bother me?" said Yuan Jia pretending to be dissatisfied.
"You guy..."Duanmu Ci laughed, got up and said, "Let's go, go and meet our most loyal old friend in Huaxia." ”
......
Since the last time he received some benefits from Duanmu Ci, Gu Zhi returned to the tribe and relocated the entire tribe to a nomadic place less than forty miles north of Feijiang Town, which was also one of the benefits promised by Duanmu Ci.
For some upper-class tribes, it may not be worth mentioning, but for the Bone Pig tribe who have lived trembling all their lives, Feijiang Town can be said to be the most prosperous place they have ever seen, and now the distance is close, so the people of the Bone Pig tribe quickly overcame the psychological barrier after spending the initial fear of life, and ran to Feijiang Town when they had nothing to do, and by the way, they peddled some small things in their private collections.
As for Gu Zhi Yu himself, after determining that there was no external threat to Huaxia for the time being, he basically resided in Feijiang Town, just letting his two sons take turns to stay in the tribe to take care of the family, plus Huaxia needed his signboard, and the treatment he gave was quite generous, which made his small life nourishing and moisturizing, much stronger than the previous precariousness.
When he learned that Duanmu Ci and Yuan Jia had come to visit in person, Gu Zhi felt flattered, and hurriedly took his eldest son Gu Zhi Zhongxin, who stayed by his side, and his three wives and three daughters out to greet him.
"I didn't expect Duanmu Shilang and Yuanzhen Mansion to come, it really made the villain ecstatic!"
"Haha, Chief Bone Pig is polite!" Duanmu Ci cordially stretched out his hands to help Bone Pig Rate Blazing up, and said: "Chief Bone Pig has lived in Feijiang for some days, it stands to reason that as a landlord, the contemptible person should come to visit the door early in the morning, but he is really busy with official business, so it has dragged on to this day, I hope that Chief Bone Pig will not complain." ”
"Don't complain, don't complain!" The bone pig shook his head like a rattle, and hurriedly smiled: "Duanmu Shilang can come, which is the most important thing for the bone pig clan." ”
The conversation began in a friendly atmosphere and culminated in a friendly atmosphere.
"I don't know if your tribe is still satisfied with the current pasture, and can you still get used to it?" After chatting nonsense for a while, Duanmu Ci began to introduce the topic.
Hearing this, the Bone Pig showed a rare sincere smile, and said: "Thank you for the gift of the kingdom, so that the humble Bone Pig tribe can rest for a period of time, don't you know..."
Balabala, the bone pig rate is a little excited to tell Duanmu Ci about the bitter past, it is simply talking about a history of blood and tears of ordinary tribes in the grassland, full of grievances and accusations against jackals and vicious dogs, and the tears of men and women who will talk about the scene are alive.
"Hey, Qu Zi said it well, 'sigh long to hide the tears, mourn how difficult the people's livelihood is', the people of the grassland, bitter!" Duanmuci raised his right hand, wiped his eyelids with his sleeve, and said with a moving face, "I only hate that my ability is limited, and I can't help everyone... However, if the Bone Pig Chief has any tribe that is familiar with him, and is also suffering from injustice, for the sake of your Bone Chief's face, this official will definitely fight for the king and set aside a pasture for him to settle down. Don't hide it from the chief, I occupy a large island in China, on which there are hundreds of square kilometers of pasture, well, that is, thousands of hectares, hundreds of thousands of acres. It just so happens that our Chinese people are not good at grazing, and so far we can't get together enough herdsmen, rather than wasting them, it is better to use them to settle some poor people, after all, God has the virtue of a good life, and I can't see poor people suffering from all over China... Moreover, it is a big island, surrounded by the sea, as long as I Huaxia will block the sea, it will never be disturbed by outsiders, and there will be no bullying by large tribes, everyone can live their lives with peace of mind, grazing and singing every day, although losing the opportunity to cross the grassland, but it is better to be comfortable and safe... Bone Chief, Bone Chief?"
"Huh?" Gu Zhi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and looked at Duanmu Ci blankly.
"Chief Bone Pig, I don't know if you have any tribes in need of help like I recommended, although I can't help everyone, but I can help a small part!" Duanmu Ci asked sincerely.
"Yes, yes!" the bone nodded busily.
"Oh, I don't know what the name of the tribe is, and where they graze?" Duanmuci asked.
"Hehe, hehe, Duanmu Shilang, Lord Duanmu, what do you think of our Guzhi tribe?" Guzhi looked at Duanmu Ci with some embarrassment but very eagerness and said, "Aren't our Guzhi tribe just a group of poor people who are suffering and tired?" Lord Duanmu, you great masters of Huaxia can't ignore us!"
Burst... Yuan Jia almost laughed, this guy is really good at climbing up the pole.
Duanmu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, didn't he say so much just to lead the bones to the bait? People tend to be skeptical of what others give easily, but they don't cherish it, and they are convinced and cherish what they can't easily get and need to fight for themselves, to put it bluntly, it's cheap!
Then, Duanmu Ci said a lot of words to shirk, such as "you have been properly settled, you don't need to change places" and so on, and finally under the sincere plea of the bone pig rate and the bone pig loyalty, the "soft heart" agreed, but he also left him and the bone pig faithful in Feijiang Town by helping to introduce the origin of other similar tribes through the bone pig rate.
By the time Duanmu Ci had eaten and drunk enough, and returned to the town hall in the gratitude of the Guzhi family, it was already late at night.
......
"Duanmu Zigong's action is still quite fast!" When Li Kang learned that Duanmu Ci had successfully persuaded the first tribe to relocate, he couldn't help but grin and praise it.
......
"Hahaha... The first Guzhi tribe is already on the way here, and the data reported is that there are a total of 362 people, including 301 young men and women, and only four old people..."In the hall of the county government, Sima Chengen said to the civil officials present with an excited face, "Now, your Chenggong County has replenished 300 herdsmen at once, can we relax our recruitment restrictions?"
"No, no, no! This is just a number on paper, those three hundred young and strong, not necessarily all of them are grazing, and there are half of them, there are women, you can't count!" Ma Sanjiu, the director of the tax bureau, shook his head and said.
As soon as Sima Chengen saw that the other party wanted to cheat, his anger and blood immediately surged, and he wanted to fight hard.
