Guanghua Palace, early dynasty.

Wen Yi was a little surprised and said: "There are more than 70,000 people in Luzon Island who have applied to immigrate to Funan? ”

Chen Xiudao: "Yes, this is an urgent official letter from the Governor of Luzon Pan, according to him, as long as the imperial court opens this opening, more people will voluntarily move to Funan." ”

"Not only in Luzon, but also in the Ryukyus, there have been a large number of people who have voluntarily migrated, and now more than 10,000 people have registered with the Yamen."

The ministers of the court and the central government couldn't help but be surprised.

Wen Yi asked, "Have you informed the people of the situation in Funan?" ”

Chen Xiu reminded: "There are detailed introductions in the three major newspapers, and the local yamen has also emphasized that Funan is a newly occupied land, which is more difficult and dangerous, but it still can't stop the footsteps of the people. ”

Wen Yi was puzzled: "Why is this happening? Is it because the officials of the two places are evil? ”

Chen Xiu glanced at Wen Yi and said with admiration: "No, according to Governor Pan's report, the reason why the people go to Funan is because this place is an unsealed land demarcated by His Majesty, and Luzon and Ryukyu are both sealable places. ”

"The people would rather take this opportunity to take the risk of going to Funan than stay in two places. Your Majesty's benevolence and virtue and all the people swear to follow to the death, so that the ministers admire. ”

The others were equally shocked by this answer, but no one was stupid at this moment, and they all bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers admire it." ”

Wen Yi was also very moved, and said: "This is the greatest praise for the master." ”

Then he warned the people: "The people are also human beings, and they have their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and they also know gratitude...... I hope you all remember today's events. ”

"In everything, think more about the feelings of the people...... Many of you will be feudal in the future, and you must understand the truth that those who win the hearts of the people will be long-lasting. ”

The ministers said: "Follow Your Majesty's teachings." ”

Wen Yi also knew that everyone would probably not be able to listen, so he sighed in his heart and said, "Let the local yamen introduce the situation in Funan clearly, and if the people still insist on going, let them go." ”

"I also sent a message to Funan, so that they can do a good job of resettlement, try not to hurt the people, and don't cold the hearts of the people."

Chen Xiu said: "Yes." ”

This dissuasion did have some effect, and many people were dissuaded. But when the first batch of people moved away, everyone put their worries behind them and enthusiastically signed up to go to Funan.

Within three months, nearly 200,000 people from Luzon and Ryukyu took the initiative to settle in Funan.

This result made those who were qualified to seal the country both unwilling and helpless.

Wen Yi has already said that Luzon is the seed left for the princes and kings to build their own feudal country, and now the feudal country has not yet been seen, and the people have run away with 200,000 first.

But this incident does give a great warning to those who are qualified to seal the country, and how to treat the people in their own country in the future is a question worth considering.

Don't let the people run out by then, then it will be sad.

There are also tens of thousands of young people in Dongning Island who have taken the initiative to apply to Funan, and the role of so many old people from the Tang Kingdom entering Funan is indeed very obvious.

With their help, the yamen quickly stabilized the place and entered the stage of large-scale construction.

These people are the best teachers, who taught the customs and rules of the Tang Kingdom to the indigenous people of Funan through words and deeds, and quickly completed assimilation.

……

People often compare Emperor Qin and Han Wu, but Wen Yi believes that Emperor Wu of Han is slightly inferior to Emperor Shi in terms of cultural governance.

The reason is very simple, the book of the first emperor and the book of the same track unified weights and measures, and completed the great cultural unification.

The 'seven' at that time was changed to 'one', which laid the foundation for the great unification of the Han Dynasty and set the tone for the later generations.

Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and moved a large number of Xiongnu and Hu tribes inward, he did not transform the Hu people culturally.

Including other monarchs of the Han Dynasty, they did not take the initiative to culturally transform the alien race.

Although those foreign races migrated to live in the interior, they always maintained the living habits and customs of their own tribes.

Aside from that, everyone has seen the results.

If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought about it thoroughly, not only moving inward, but also asking different races to change their customs and change their names and surnames, it would really be perfect.

It's a pity that history has no ifs, which is also a big regret when Wen Yi read history in his previous life.

Now that it was his turn, it was natural to learn the lesson in this regard. From the very beginning, we were prepared for this, not only to conquer the other side by force, but also to transform it culturally.

Completely incorporated the Siyi into the big concept of Chinese civilization, and then integrated into the Han system.

This is the case in Dongning, and it is also the case in Luzon and the Ryukyus.

Now the Ryukyu natives and Luzon natives are speaking Chinese, writing Chinese characters, using Han names, and observing the customs and habits of the Han people.

Except for the possible differences in appearance, the rest of the people are the same Han people, and they also consider themselves Han people.

With previous experience, the officials of the Tang Kingdom are very good at cultural transformation, and it can be said that they have been integrated into their bones.

After gaining a foothold, they began to transform the culture while organizing production.

The first step is to give everyone a Chinese name when they create a household register. They are then encouraged to wear Hanfu and observe the customs and habits of the Han people.

In this process, the more than 200,000 people of Luzon and Ryukyu who migrated from there played a huge role.

On average, a Tang citizen was responsible for teaching four or five natives, which greatly reduced the pressure on the yamen.

……

The leaders and nobles of the original tribes also provided great help in this process.

At first, many leaders were unwilling, but Fan's operation forced them to a dead end.

Later, the Tang Army's 5,000 victory over 180,000 completely broke their backbone.

Not only did they not dare to resist anymore, but they became particularly groveling.

It can be said that what the Tang State asked them to do, they did. Let them not dare to go west, let them fight dogs, and dare not hunt chickens.

Wang Youkun is indeed a capable person, and after seeing this situation, he played a game, asking for these leaders and nobles to enter Beijing later, and stay here to help the court stabilize the place.

Wen Yili agreed to his request and asked him to do his best.

With the authorization, he first took these chiefs and nobles under the knife.

Require everyone to wear Hanfu and speak Chinese, and then personally go to the countryside to persuade the local people to obey the rule of the Tang State, and change customs together.

The role of role models is huge, and the local people have little resistance to Chinese civilization, and now that they see that the leaders and nobles have changed, they have no psychological pressure.

This leader and nobleman also had to help the yamen pacify the people and settle some civil disputes left over from history.

Anyway, relying on an all-round multi-pronged approach, it only took half a year for the Tang State to complete the rule of Funan.

The land area of the Tang Kingdom more than doubled, reaching more than 900,000 square kilometers.

Moreover, the newly added land is all fertile land rich in rice in the tropics, and the country's comprehensive strength has jumped several steps in a row.

At this time, Wang Youkun let the leaders and nobles of the south go to Beijing to meet the emperor, and the crown prince Wenyuan returned with him.
