Don't bother the two masters, since it was proposed by Ji Kang, he should also preside over it.

Besides, who else is more suitable than him?

Ji Kang's achievements are not only in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but ideologically, and he is the leader of Taixing's poetic style, and what is even more rare is that he is not as obsessed with Confucianism as Du Pre.

He has quite a deep understanding of metaphysics and Taoism.

Since Yang Zheng put forward the idea of exporting Chinese civilization, Ji Kang was the first to respond.

Also because of his support, a large number of scholars from the Central Plains rushed to the Western Regions with swords and horses.

"It's my duty to do it." Ji Kang agreed without thinking about it.

"This matter is left to Your Excellency, and I will rest assured!" Yang Zheng was in a good mood.

The most important thing to be an emperor is to employ people.

If Han Gaozu is single-handed, he is afraid that he will be solved by the overlord of Chu in just three or two clicks, but Zhang Liangxiao, He Hanxin and other virtuous talents are willing to be used by him, and this is the most brilliant leader.

However, it is culture, not technology, that is exported to the grasslands.

Yang Zheng was extremely vigilant at this point.

In recent years, Mobei Mugulu and Cheluhui Xiongjian father and son have sprung up, relying on stealing the stirrups of the Central Plains, sweeping all the departments in Mobei, and getting stronger and stronger.

So far, they have been extremely deferential to Great Qin, offering mink skins and horses every year, and their range of activities is near the Beihai Sea, so they are extremely vigilant against the Qin army.

The Qin army was beyond the reach of the whip, and Pang Qing had also sent troops to Beihai, they heard the wind and fled far away, and returned after two months, playing hide and seek back and forth, so that Pang Qing had no way to completely clean them up.

In the era of cold weapons, excluding the factor of national morale, the hard power is population and steel.

There is no shortage of ore in the grassland, but there is a lack of technology to smelt iron ore.

Historically, it was in the Jinshan Mountains that the Turks struck iron for the Rouran people and mastered the forging technology, thus becoming the top steppe empire that dominated the continent.

The grassland tribes can go south to buy grain, cotton clothes and quilts to keep out the cold, and they can also buy luxury goods such as silk and tea, but they must not buy ironware.

Yang Zheng also set up a town and fu department in Daijun, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, Dunhuang, Wuwei, Liaodong, Jiaozhi and other counties, which were supervised by the experienced Jinyi Wei without going through the local government.

Once the iron weapon is found by the border pass, it can be killed on the spot, if the crossbow, armor, sword lance and other weapons are found, it is a felony to wipe out the three clans.

"Since Your Majesty has seen Mobei, why don't you completely incorporate the plateau into the territory of Great Qin?" Wei Qian arched his hand.

"Plateau?" Yang Zheng stared at the sand table.

It is now the period of the Xiaoice River, the climate is very cold, and the river has also had a siphoning effect on the Qiang people on the plateau for so many years.

】

A large number of Qiang people walked down the plateau and threw themselves into the arms of Great Qin.

But more than 200 years later, the climate has warmed, and the plateau is no longer a bitter cold place.

If control is not strengthened, the threat to Huaxia will be huge at that time.

If Datang had not been dragged by Tubo, it would inevitably have moved towards a more brilliant peak.

You must know that the Tibetan invaded Chang'an twice in history.

Geographically, the plateau also poses a great threat to the current territory of Great Qin.

To the north to deter the Hexi Corridor, to the west to the south of the Tianshan Mountains, to the northeast directly threatens Guanzhong, and to the southeast takes a step directly into the Shuzhong Plain.

Although it is not cost-effective, it has great strategic value.

The biggest advantage of the traverser is that it is ahead of the curve.

Since the plateau empire of Tibet appeared in history, two or three hundred years later, when the Great Qin was decayed and dying due to land annexation, a plateau empire suddenly popped up in the southwest......

That kind of scene is unimaginable.

Even in later generations, the strategic value of the plateau was unquestionable.

Incorporate the embrace of China as soon as possible, and strengthen the identity of China here.

"What Boyu said is very true!" Yang Zheng nodded.

Whether Wei Qian is catering to himself or really seeing the strategic value of this place, his opinion must be taken seriously.

Wei Qian said: "There are quite a lot of Qiang Qin people in Guanzhong, who are tolerant of bitter and cold, and they can run this place. ”

"Bo Yumo, you have to forget, back then, we sent a large number of Xuanyi Peng and Xuanyi Lang into the plateau, and now it's time to blossom and bear fruit." Yang Zheng reminded with a smile.

"Your Majesty's eloquence is unprecedented." Wei Qian is good at everything, but sometimes people who are sycophants can't stand it......

Yang Zheng's old face turned red, if Daqin can really surpass the achievements of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it must be to exert his strength on the plateau.

Suo Jing on the side also couldn't stand it, coughed twice, and arched his hand: "Daqin...... Although it is strong, it is such a vast place to operate the plateau...... It seems to be slightly overwhelmed. ”

Lu Zhi is now in semi-retirement, holding his grandson at home and raising him for the rest of his life.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of the Lord and the faction fell on Suo Jing's head.

There are still so many undeveloped lands in the Central Plains, and to run to manage the plateau is tantamount to sacrificing the basics in their eyes.

And there is also a Zhangzhung dynasty on the plateau.

This is the true root of plateau civilization, which is said to have a history of 18,000 years, and can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty at the earliest in Chinese history books, that is, more than 700 years BC.

For a long time, they were in a tribal federation.

Until now, it is only a feudal slavery, and as for the combat power, 10,000 Tubo defeated 100,000 Zhangxiong's army in history.

After the rise of Great Qin, they also paid tribute several times, and the relationship between the two sides was not bad, and Zhangxiong was not as aggressive as Tubo later.

The silk and tea used by the nobles on the plateau were all sent from Shu.

"There are some things that I can't help but do, and Daqin can't help but do them." Yang Zheng has made up his mind, "I don't want to occupy the entire plateau, but like the Western Regions, I will control the place of beauty and the throat of traffic. ”

Expansion is a long process.

In fact, the Qin and Han dynasties ruled the Central Plains in the same way, developing linearly along the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and then developing along the tributaries to the interior.

Occupy the place first, then build a city, move Baixin, and after gaining a foothold, expand your influence, export culture, and attract population......

There's no need to carry a knife to do everything and get bloody.

In the past, Daqin was barefoot, but now Daqin wears shoes, and he must pay attention to his appearance and face, and the national policy of these years is the same, if he can not use a knife, try not to use a knife.

If Great Qin does not occupy the plateau, it is natural that others will occupy it...... Two or three hundred years later, the climate will be warm, and China will pay a heavy price for it.

Hearing Yang Zheng say this, Suo Jing breathed a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, the Great Qin national strength can barely support it." ”

Yang Zheng didn't want to eat such a large territory in one bite at all, but included it in Daqin's century-old plan, which needs several generations to implement, and his own generation is just laying a foundation, and he will seal the country on the plateau in the future.

Wei Qian and Suo Jing both nodded, and there was not much resistance to this matter.

As the monarch of Great Qin, Yang Zheng naturally knows who is the original and who is the last.

Despite the migration over the years, the sum of Liaodong, southern Xinjiang, and western China is only about one million.

For the Central Plains, which is more than 20 million, it is not much.

Yongliang has been stable for a long time, and the Qiang have reached the third generation, with a large population, in essence, they are no longer much different from the Han people, and even the original language and customs have been forgotten.

Spiritually more like a Qin person than a traditional Han person, and extremely proud of the identity of the Qin people.

The good family of Guanzhong went to the Western Regions, and these Qiang children should also rush to the plateau......
