How is it better than the "division of Hu and Han"? From the long-term perspective of the Great Liao State, the "policy of granting land to the country" is of course much stronger. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As the saying goes, having fur is not wealthy. After a blizzard or a plague on the grassland, how many cattle, sheep, and livestock suffered misfortunes? And if the Khitans became landlords, and the Han slaves who were plundered to Youzhou and outside the Saiwai became farmers and tenants, how much taxes and grain would they contribute to the official warehouses of the Great Liao State every year? Since they could also work in Youzhou and outside the Saiwai and get a piece of land, why did the Han people who had been plundered flee to their hometowns at the risk of death? After going back, the vast majority of them still have to farm for a living, and they are also worried about wars and bandits all day long, and their lives may not be as peaceful as in Liao!

However, this is only from a national perspective. From an individual and family perspective, the results are diametrically opposed.

The smartest thing about the division of Hu and Han is that it ensures the transcendence of the status of the Khitan people, especially the Khitan ministers and elders. And the "Grant of Fields" directly brushed the tiger whiskers of the elders!

Indeed, most of the Khitans were able to benefit from the "land granting policy", and suddenly became landlords who leased land to make a living. At the bottom of the Great Liao State, the contradictions between the Hu and Han people will also be greatly alleviated because of the "land granting policy". What is the difference between the Khitan people, who do not rely on armed forces to fight grass valleys, but live by collecting land rents, and the Han people? And how can the Khitan nobles, who simply rely on their noble "bloodline" and do not know a few words, continue to stabilize the Hanchen like Han Yanhui, Han Kuangsi, and Ma Yinqing in the court?

In the long run, a hundred years later, when the difference between most of the Khitans and Han people becomes smaller and smaller, the Great Liao State will be the Great Liao of what ethnic group?

Han Dexin is worthy of being the leader of the generation of "virtue", both civil and military, and cautious. The more I thought about it, the more I felt cold all over my body, and the beads of sweat were frozen on my sideburns, cheeks, chin, etc., but I didn't have the strength to wipe it at all.

No wonder the "Grant of Field Policy" was proposed by Ma Yinqing and his uncle Han Kuangsi, but Han Yanhui, known as the "No. 1 Wise Man in the North", remained silent, and it turned out that people had long seen the risks behind it. No wonder as soon as Ma Yanxu returned to the army, he led the Youzhou army out like a madman, it turned out that this person planned to share the risk for his father Ma Yinqing as much as possible.

Once this battle was won, Ma Yanxu's behavior was enough to prove the Ma family's fierce loyalty to the Great Liao Kingdom. The effect of the attack of the Khitan ministers and elders will be greatly reduced. And even if this battle is defeated, in the face of the eldest son's father who has just "martyred himself", the hostility of the Khitan ministers and elders will be somewhat reduced, so that Ma Yinqing himself and the entire Ma family will follow the path of Shang Yang and Chao Cuo. (Note 1)

It's just that judging from the current situation, the possibility of the second ending far exceeds the first! Sitting stiffly on the back of the pack horse, Han Dexin's body is like an ice sculpture, straight and hard. In front of and behind him, the white-haired wind whirlpooled, tumbling and undulating, like rows of stormy waves.

He didn't want to die, he was still young, he still had a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine at home, and a son and a daughter who had just toddled! He didn't want to take himself as a sacrifice without hesitation in order to alleviate the oppression that the Han family in Jizhou was going to face. Ma Yanxu is Ma Yinqing's eldest son, he is not! Ma Yanxu is from the Ma family's lineage, and he is only one of Han Kuangsi's many nephews.

But he can't turn around and run away now. Especially after listening to Han Zhuo explain the relevant interests behind it, he can't show the slightest hesitation.

The descendants who are unwilling to sacrifice for the interests of the family will inevitably be abandoned by the entire family. And without the family behind him, he will definitely lose everything he has now.

"My grandfather thinks that giving Tian Zhi can lay the foundation of my Great Liao Kingdom for a hundred years in one fell swoop!" Han Zhuo's voice suddenly came through the white-haired wind again, it was very clear, but there was no trace of human temperature. "This time I went out to practice, my grandfather also told me that if I met the children of the Han family in Jizhou, I must make friends with all my might. Although you and I are not of the same clan, we will not be too far apart from each other!"

"The ghost is willing to kiss you guys who have no taste!" Han Dexin scolded in his stomach, but his face had to show a little flattery, arched his stiff hands, and said loudly: "It is the luck of the younger brother to be able to listen to the teachings of the younger brother from time to time. The world brother is above, and the younger brother is polite!"

The wind swept away the white smoke from his mouth, wafting around along with the snow particles in the wind. Han Zhuo couldn't see his face clearly, but he could vaguely feel the sadness in his words. Therefore, he first returned the gift of his peers, and then said loudly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." You and I are similar in age, and our knowledge is similar, and the virtuous brother has several years of experience in the army than the foolish brother, how dare the foolish brother 'teach' in front of the virtuous brother. It's just to tell you what you want in your heart, so that you can discuss it with your brother. If the virtuous brother disagrees, even refute it to his face. The foolish brother will listen to him. The word 'teaching', but I don't dare to take it!,"

"Brother Shi, Brother Shi - that's right!" As soon as Han Dexin spoke, his voice was intermittently blown by the wind. "Outside the battlefield, outside the battlefield is indeed unpredictable at the moment. As a junior, at this moment, even if you can't contribute to the family at this moment, at least, at least you can't add any trouble to the family!"

"It is worthy of being the descendant of the left servant, and the virtuous brother is very kind!" Han Zhuo laughed and stroked his palms in the white-haired wind. The hem and sleeves of the mink fur fluttered, and it did not look like he was in the world. "Foolish brother ask one more question, do you think that the luck of the world in this world is in the plug or in the Central Plains?"

"Of course it's plugged in!" said Jerryinu, a head full of snow particles, like a bear that had just woken up from freezing. "How can Liu Han afford the national fortune of my Great Liao?"

He didn't understand a word of the conversation between his younger brother and Han Zhuo just now. But as a son of the Yelu clan, he firmly believes that the future of the Great Liao Kingdom is bright. What is Liu Han alone? Adding up Li Tang, Ma Chu, and Meng Shu further south, it is not enough for the Great Liao State Iron Cavalry to step on it with all his might. It's just that the Great Liao Kingdom has just changed its new emperor, and it hasn't spared the effort to go south. (Note 2)

"In just thirty years, the Central Plains has changed three imperial courts. Each one of them is not my Da Liao's opponent. In the past 30 years, however, our national strength has been thriving! If this continues, sooner or later, Kyushu will be reunified. The splendid mountains and rivers will be full of the flag of my great Liao. Knowing that the other party would not be untargeted, Han Dexin thought very seriously for a moment before responding loudly.

"Good! Brother Fool is also convinced of this!" Han Zhuo echoed loudly, stretched out a jade-like right hand from the sleeve of the mink Qiu, and pointed out the country in the white-haired wind, "My Daliao government decree is accessible, and the people live and work in peace and contentment! With this good policy, the difference between Hu and Han will become smaller and smaller. Within 20 years, the Great Liao will no longer be just the Great Liao of the Khitans. The world's luck and Zhengshuo will also move north. Virtuous brother, if you and I don't take this opportunity to make contributions, when will we wait?" (Note 3)

Note 1: Shang Ying and Chao Cuo, both of whom were reformers, both of whom died tragically because they touched the interests of the old forces.

Note 2: Liu Han, that is, the Later Han. The Liao people did not think that Liu Zhiyuan was qualified to inherit the title of Han Gaozu, so they called him Liu Han. The Southern Tang Dynasty was called Li Tang, the Southern Chu was called Ma Chu, and the Later Shu was called Meng Shu, which is the same reason.

Note 3: Throughout history, anyone who can become a big traitor is usually a smart and wise person. Qin Hui is like this, and so is Wang Jingwei. It's just that he is smart, but he only seeks the blessing of the family. What you step on is the white bones of thousands of households.
