Seeing that the little emperor made a final decision and permanently abolished the peace system, everyone was no longer entangled in this topic. Deng Zhi said: "Your Majesty, even if you don't take a friendly approach, you can still take the way of rewarding those Xianbei people for the time being." ”

"Rewarding them as kings and giving them land is an act of adversity! This gave the enemy rightful ownership of the land they had been given, and rewarding them as king helped them increase their appeal. The higher their prestige and the legalization of their land, the more conducive it is for them to gather their subordinates and increase their power. This method is not wise. Liu Hou categorically rejected Deng Zhi's proposal.

Deng Zhi slandered in his heart, these so-called given lands are barren lands that we Han people cannot reach, and they are also the land that others originally occupy, and we are just generous to others, or we are just "giving" them the land that originally belonged to them.

Why can't you do this kind of thing that benefits others without harming yourself? What's wrong with the little emperor today? Why is it that when it comes to the question of interracial race, you become so excited and think about it so irrationally?

How did he know that Liu Hou's ideological height had long jumped out of the limitations of this era, and when he considered the problem, he was influenced by many historical events in later generations. In his mind, if these alien races cannot be completely mastered and assimilated, they can only be completely eliminated, and there will definitely be no third choice.

"Not only can we not make any rewards that are conducive to the growth of these alien races, but even if the marriage just mentioned, if Lord Deng is willing to send his daughter to marry in the future, there will not be too many things to marry in the future. In the past, the people who married were books, craftsmen, etc., and they couldn't have them in the future. Before Liu Hou could speak, he added.

"May I ask Your Majesty why is this?" Bu Qi finally seized the opportunity to ask.

In the novel, whenever the lord laughs, there is always a person who jumps out and says, "Why is the lord laughing?" Then the lord can take advantage of the situation to say a lot of very "educational" things.

Liu Hou has always been very envious of those lords, and his surroundings are full of praise, but there has been no such person around him, and when he heard Bu Qi's question today, he thought, there is finally a praiser. So, following his words, he explained:

"Those barbarians were originally just wild people who drank blood and were still in a slave society, and their culture was backward for thousands or hundreds of years. But a friendly relative, he brought books and craftsmen from my Central Plains, and at once raised their civilization level by thousands of years.

The gap between their productivity and technical level and ours has narrowed a lot all at once. You must know that productivity and technological level can be transformed into combat effectiveness. To put it nicely, this is called promoting cultural exchanges between the two countries, so that the other side can learn more about the culture of our Han nationality.

Have you ever thought about it, productivity and technology can be transformed into combat effectiveness, and they are all factors that can make the other party strong. Isn't it an act of adversarial activity that they have obtained from us the technology that we have worked on for thousands and hundreds of years to develop with great difficulty, and they will become more powerful in a short period of time? ”

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how can this productivity and technology be transformed into combat effectiveness?" Bu Qi continued to ask.

Bu Qi had been following Liu Hou for a while, and he knew what a new term like productivity meant. As for how productivity and technical ability can be transformed into combat effectiveness, although Liu Hou has not said anything to him, I believe that with his ingenuity, he will definitely be able to figure it out. The reason why he asked like this should be to continue to play the role of a compliment, and give the little emperor a chance to show his ingenuity.

Liu Hou glanced at him, showed a knowing smile, and then turned to everyone and said: "This question is very simple, for example, in the past, the people on the grassland could not smelt iron and make weapons, so their weapons were not only in short supply, but also of inferior quality, which had a great impact on their combat effectiveness.

However, if they learn our smelting and iron-striking techniques, they can make their own sophisticated weapons, will they be able to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of their army?

For example, in the past, they could only herd sheep and did not farm, and the sheep could easily freeze to death in winter, and many people would starve to death if there was not enough food. But if they learn our farming techniques and occupy land suitable for farming, will they have plenty of food in the future? If there is no shortage of food, they can have more people, or gather more people.

In that case, will their strength become stronger? Even medical books can't be given to them, originally many of them were going to die of illness, but after passing the medical books to them, they can save a lot of people who should have died of illness, so will their population also increase because of this, and their strength will also become stronger?

Later, the weapons they used to slaughter our Han people were made with the techniques we passed down, or simply by the craftsmen we gave them; The soldiers they entered the Han land to rape ~ adultery and plundered were the food we gave them, or the food we taught them to grow and raised; There are also soldiers who should have died of illness, but because of our medical books, they saved their lives, and they slaughtered our people in turn.

Isn't this self-inflicted? What is this not a cocoon? Think about it, are you willing to do this? ”

Deng Zhi was unconvinced and said: "Your Majesty, maybe we can pass on our culture to these barbarians, so that we can educate them and make them understand etiquette." If they understand the etiquette, maybe they will change the wild nature that only blindly burns and loots. ”

Deng Zhi's view, like that of many corrupt Confucians in later generations, believed that Confucian classics could be used to "educate" those alien races, so that they could become civilized people like the Central Plains. Liu Hou muttered in his heart, what a naïve idea this is, how can such a person be high above the temple?

Liu Hou said: "Lord Deng's words are good, why don't you send Lord Deng to educate them?" ”

As soon as Liu Hou said this, Deng Zhi's face changed, isn't this exile in disguise? No, it's not in disguise, it's just exile. Thinking of the story of Su Wu's shepherd, Deng Zhi even turned green.

"Your Majesty, this, this" Deng Zhi stammered, he also knew that he was very displeased with the little emperor today, and he didn't know why the little emperor seemed to target him everywhere, but he didn't expect the little emperor to be so ruthless that he wanted to exile himself.

"Hmph, Lord Deng, you yourself don't want to go to those places where birds don't pull ~ to 'educate' those barbarians, how can you ask others to go? But what you said is also right, Confucianism is indeed a very 'remarkable' thing, so from now on, whenever there are foreigners who ask us to send books and culture, we will give them the essence of Confucian classics and Buddhist scriptures, the essence of our Han culture.

None of the other books on design technology, medicine and other practices can flow out of the Central Plains, and craftsmen can't let them leave the territory of the Han Dynasty. Liu Houdao.
