After Liu Yi surrendered, he followed the order to take the rest of the clansmen back to Bingzhou, in order to avoid the Hun soldiers from gathering in one place to cause chaos, Zhao Hanzhang only released some veterans and wounded soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers were scattered, and selected Xiongnu generals to take them to Bingzhou Tuntian, build official roads and dig canals.

After the Xiongnu occupied the Hexi Corridor, they all drove the Han people to farm the land, and they enclosed the land for grazing, and there were very few people who could farm.

Probably knowing that they were not good at these, Zhao Hanzhang re-assigned them a few areas when he sent them back to Bingzhou, all of which were half cultivated land and half pasture.

She divided the fields and grasslands among the families, allowed them to graze and plant, and even sent many people from the Sinong Monastery to guide them in farming.

The Xiongnu soldiers scattered by her either suppressed bandits in the territory of Bingzhou, or built official roads and canals around those newly built small tribes, as well as tuntian.

She also sent officials from Sinong Temple to instruct them to farm.

One instruction and one step, it is difficult to plant the land well, but it is generally very easy to plant, according to the season, when the land should be cultivated, when it is time to sow seeds, when it is time to fertilize, when it is time to fertilize, she does not believe that they can't grow food.

The grain grown belonged to the army, and most of the ditches built were used by the new Xiongnu tribes nearby, and the official roads were also between the Xiongnu tribes, so the resentment in the hearts of the Xiongnu soldiers dissipated in the labor day after day.

Moreover, Zhao Hanzhang also selected a lot of generals and lieutenants from the Zhao family army to teach them to recognize Chinese characters, and these generals and gentlemen said, "The general treats you equally, General Shi is a member of the Qiang people, and the people of the Qiang nationality can be officials in the court, and you can naturally do it." ”

"It's just that you don't know Chinese characters, and some of you can't even speak Chinese, even if you have the ability, the general doesn't know it, and you don't need to wait." The general said: "So you have to learn from me, learn Chinese, and then learn the commonly used Chinese characters, and you will have the opportunity to show your skills in the future, even if you can't do a state assassin like General Shi, it's good to be an officer in the army." ”

The Hun soldiers suddenly perked up and became excited, and after studying for a while, some people became bold and asked the general: "I really can't grow good land at home, can I just have grass and not plough the land?" ”

The general cannot call the shots, but can only report.

At the same time, Liu Yi, as the new leader of the Xiongnu, also shouldered the burden of revitalizing the Xiongnu, and he wrote to Luoyang twice and was finally allowed to enter Beijing.

So Liu Yi went to Beijing to see Zhao Hanzhang.

This year's grain has been harvested, and he counted that even with the guidance of Han teachers, there are still a considerable number of people who can't learn how to farm.

Zhao Hanzhang thinks that it is very simple to operate according to the season, and they do do so, but the food they grow is not enough to feed themselves, and the land rent and taxes cannot be paid.

Fortunately, Zhao Hanzhang did not collect enough land rent taxes this year, otherwise some families would really need to borrow money to pay taxes.

Liu Yi came to Zhao Hanzhang, hoping that she would allow these people to change their arable land into pasture and make a living from grazing.

Zhao Hanzhang discussed with the courtiers and agreed, recovering their cultivated land and allocating more pasture to them for a living by grazing.

But those who can cultivate the land still have to make a living from the cultivated land, so the Xiongnu tribes were divided again, and those who farmed the land would settle down near the cultivated land, and those who herded would live in pursuit of water and grass like their ancestors.

Zhao Hanzhang's leniency reminded Liu Yi of their friendship, and in order to bring the Xiongnu and Zhao Hanzhang closer, he decided to stay in Luoyang.

He also saw the announcement in the newspaper, and knew that Zhao Hanzhang was now in short supply of people who could control the water, and the Yellow River also passed through the state, so Liu Yi recommended himself.

After talking to him, Zhao Hanzhang found that he was really good at water control.

Not only can he control water, but as a Hun with Di blood, Liu Yi is also very talented and insightful in agricultural affairs.

Liu Yi's personality is more like his mother and uncle, like the Di people who are good at farming and patience, he has a gentle temperament, and has been favored since he was a child, his father has been educated in Sinicization, and he admires Han culture very much, Liu Yi as a young son, has been influenced by this since he was a child.

He also read Chinese from an early age and learned about various Han cultures.

He never thought that he would be the leader of the Huns, he has always positioned himself as the assistant of his brother, he is far inferior to several brothers in war, he knows that under the rule of the Huns, the relationship between the Huns and the Han people is very tense.

He could see that it was not right for the Xiongnu to occupy the land and make the fertile land full of grass, and it was not right to graze on the fertile land, and he also knew that if the Han State wanted to last for a long time, it must live in harmony with the Han people, and it was best to sinicize.

And to sinicize, the first thing is to let the Huns learn not to graze on fertile land, but also to know how to farm.

So he and his uncle learned how to cultivate the land, and he also learned water politics with the Han teachers who taught him.

With this knowledge, Liu Yi successfully entered the Ministry of Water, from a captured Xiongnu leader to a member of the Ministry of Water.

His appointment seemed to be a signal, and in just one month, the Xiongnu, Di and Qian officials who had been appointed were promoted one after another.

Originally, some Huns felt that Liu Yi was only embarrassed to be a foreigner of the water department, but they stopped talking and acquiesced to Liu Yi's stay in Luoyang.

Zhao Hanzhang was also willing to help Liu Yi improve his prestige and let him control the Xiongnu tribe.

Liu Yi has a noble character, and he is indeed the best candidate for the actual power of the Xiongnu tribe, and with him, the process of sinicization of the Xiongnu will be smoother and faster.

However, this kind of thing can't be rushed, and she knows this kind of thing.

Zhao Hanzhang asked Liu Yi to go back as a member of the water department and lead the Huns to clean up the silt of the Yellow River in the area of Pingyang County.

This time, Zhao Hanzhang used a large number of army soldiers, in addition to conscription, she also allocated a sum of silver from the treasury for them to recruit workers.

Wages, grain and grass for the servants and soldiers, materials for building river embankments, dredging, etc., 30,000 stone of grain and 5 million yuan were allocated for the control of the Yellow River alone, and the taxes that had just been collected were spent on the state treasury for a short stay.

The money was handed over to Fu Tinghan, as Shang Shuling, he personally went to the Yellow River to preside over the governance of the river, and currently lives on the edge of the Yellow River.

Zhao Hanzhang attached great importance to this, for fear that some officials below would fool him, so he also sent Zhao Xin, who had just returned to Beijing, and asked him and Fan Ying to take a part of the imperial history to inspect the river.

"This inspection, in addition to ensuring that the money allocated will be used under the knife edge, to ensure the interests of the soldiers and servants of water control, you must also do a good job in the popularization of water control, and I will not hype up the method of planting grass and trees on both sides of the Yellow River in exchange for taxes, but I want the people on both sides of the Yellow River to know about this matter, so that they can all join in the management of the Yellow River."

Zhao Xin and Fan Ying responded, and after taking the warrant, they each went to the Yushitai to elect their subordinates.

Good night
