Chapter 229: Assimilation
"The king, the ministers have invited a total of twenty-three people, all of whom have arrived in Handan, and no one has refused." Kong said proudly.
This is the strength of the Kong family!
"Where are you?" Zhao Kuo looked at Liu Ping again.
For some old monsters in the deep mountains, the face of the Kong family is bigger than that of Zhao Guo, but for most normal people, Zhao Guo's face is far greater than that of the Kong family.
"Except for Li Bing of Shu County of Qin State, the others have all arrived in Handan." Liu Ping said.
Zhao Kuo nodded, Li Bing just wanted to try it on a whim to see if he could dig it up, but he didn't have any hope.
Li Bing is also a county guard in the Qin State, and he is like a feudal official, and he is not a petty official.
"Arrange it, this king will set up a banquet in the evening for everyone to catch the wind and wash the dust." Zhao Kuo said to the eunuch on the side.
It is said that Zhao Kuo also learned later that not all the eunuchs in this year were castrated, and many of them were chosen to serve as good families, like guards.
However, the eunuchs in the harem were all gelding, no different from the later eunuchs.
"No." The eunuch said respectfully.
"Anything else?" Zhao Kuo looked left and right.
"The King." Xunzi stood up and arched his hand and said, "The minister suggested that a part of the academy places be allocated to the Lou Fu, Lin Hu, Dai and other clans. ”
"Since the King of Wuling, the Lou Fu, Lin Hu and other clans have been returned to Zhao for decades, and the King of Wuling has made the Zhao people wear Hu clothes and wear a crown, which has weakened the contradiction between the Zhao people and the Hu people to a certain extent, but in essence, the Zhao people and the Hu people are still distinct."
"Previously, our Zhao State fought for many years, and I was unable to take care of the northern frontier, so the Hu people such as Lou Fu and the Huns united with the Xiongnu to plunder the frontier of our Zhao State and occupy most of our Hetao, which has not been completely recovered. It can be seen that the Hu people do not obey the indoctrination and do not know kindness and righteousness, but they are afraid of the strength of the Zhao State and belong to the Zhao State. ”
"Chen believes that some Hu people who are close to my Zhao Kingdom can be invited to the academy, so that they can learn my Zhao State script, speak my Zhao Chinese language, and then send them back to educate the tribesmen, so that the Hu people can slowly join my Zhao Kingdom."
After Zhao Wuling's king Hu Fu rode and shot, while reforming, he also won over Lou Fu Lin Hu and other tribal leaders, relying on the method of winning over one faction and suppressing one faction, and constantly encroaching on the Hu people.
Lou Zhuan, Lou Chang and others were all from Lou Fu, and they took refuge in Zhao Guo at that time.
After the annexation of Zhongshan, King Wuling of Zhao concentrated all the forces of Zhao to annex Loufu and Linhu, and set up three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen and Dai.
However, King Zhao Wuling died before he had time to deal with the national contradictions, and although King Zhao Huiwen also took some measures, it was far from being compared with King Zhao Wuling.
"Xunzi's method is too slow. The king, the minister thinks that as long as his customs are cut off, his language is destroyed, his temple is burned, his residence is razed, he moves away from his ancestral land, and he changes his surname in Zhao State, in less than 20 years, there will be no Hu people in Zhao State. This method is once and for all, and there is no future trouble. Tian Dan clenched his fists and said murderously.
"Although this method works quickly, it will take twenty years, and during this period, it will always contain part of the strength of my Zhao State." Xunzi shook his head.
"The minister heard that in order to govern Bashu, the Qin State had given the Bashu monarch the title of chieftain, exempted and exempted the taxes he paid, and vigorously immigrated to the two places in Bashu, encouraging the Bashu monarch to marry the Qin daughter, and the Qin people's soldiers and exiled people to marry the daughter of Bashu."
It also stipulates that as long as one of the parents is a Qin person, the remaining children are Qin people. Only if both parents are Ba or Shu, the child is Bashu. Now that decades have passed, there are fewer and fewer real Bashu people, and more and more Qin people. The minister believes that my Zhao State can follow the example of the Qin State. Lin Xiangru said.
"Qin State still has this rule!" Zhao Kuo was taken aback. In contrast, the system of the Qin State was at least a dozen streets away from a certain system in later generations. It not only used the strategy of Huairou to recover the heart of the Bashu tribes, but also moisturized things silently assimilated the Bashu people and became the Qin people.
Look at a certain system again, and exchange a little favor for ...... Alas, don't mention it.
"It's no wonder that for two thousand years, the territory of China has fluctuated from large to small, but it is based on the territory of the Qin period, and I am afraid it is inseparable from this policy." Zhao Kuo thought in his heart.
"What was the previous system of my Zhao Kingdom?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"My Zhao State did not have much control over the Hu people before, they were all managed by themselves, and we only collected cattle, sheep, horses and fur as taxes." Touching the dragon said.
"Not registered?" Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru.
"Nope." Lin Xiangru shook his head.
"Immediately start registering, all personnel must be registered, whether it is the Zhao people or the Hu people, those who dare to rebel will be reduced to slaves and sent to Taiyuan to dig coal." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
"No." Lin Xiangru felt a pang in his heart and arched his hand.
"The king wanted to pardon non-important criminals and some slaves, move to the three counties of northern Xinjiang, and encourage intermarriage between the Zhao and Hu people. At the same time, I chose some Hu tribes that were close to my Zhao country, gave them quotas, and invited their heirs to study in my Handan Academy. In addition, about one-third of the Hu tribe will be moved into the land of our Zhao country, and they will be given arable land, so that they can feel the prosperity of our Zhao country. ”
Zhao Kuo planned to take a multi-pronged approach, co-opting, suppressing and indoctrination at the same time, dividing the Hu people into several parts so that they could not be united, and then gradually assimilated.
Zhao had an advantage over the Hu people than the Qin State against the Bashu people, and as long as the Bashu people got into the mountains, the Qin State would not be able to find them.
But no matter where the Hu people run, as long as they don't cross the Yin Mountain, Zhao Guo can find it.
"No." Everyone clenched their fists and said.
……
Rover is the leader of the Aries tribe, and he has just returned to the tribe from nine original cities after buying ten bags of snow salt. It was only a hundred dollars per stone, and he had never bought salt so cheap and so white.
I heard that the salt seller said that it was sent from the distant seaside, but Rover had never been to the seaside, and he didn't understand why there was salt on the seaside, maybe it was the same as the salt lake of the Quyan tribe in the south.
He learned from the merchant that such salt had been sold for several months, and he was the last to know, and the current Zhao Guojun stipulated that the price of salt should not exceed 100 yuan per stone, and the violator would be disqualified from selling salt and his house would be raided.
He didn't know if what the businessman said was true or not, and his previous experience told him that if he didn't take advantage of it, it would be too late to regret it. So he bought ten full bags of parchment bags of snow salt at once, planning to keep them and go back to eat them slowly, in case the price of salt rises in the future, he can sell them again to make some money.
There are no longer a few people who have this plan, especially the Hu people in Yunzhong, where the place is remote, and the price of salt is usually several times that of the Central Plains, and it is all green salt that has not been purified.
As for the finest snow salt, even the big tribes can't buy it.
In the past few months, the salt merchants of Zhao have made a lot of money.
But this kind of good life will not last long, and when everyone has 'stocked' the salt, they will not be able to sell the salt for a long time.
"Grandpa." No sooner had Rover returned to the tribe than an eight- or nine-year-old child ran out of the tent and threw himself into his arms.
"Look, Grandpa bought you something." Rover held the child, grinning at the corners of his mouth, took out a short bone knife from his arms, and shook it in front of the child's face.
"Bone knife! Grandpa, give it to me. When the child saw the bone knife, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out and grabbed the bone knife.
Rover raised the bone knife high and did not let the child catch it, so several times before Rover smiled with satisfaction and put the bone knife in the child's hand.
"Thank you, Grandpa." The child held the bone knife tightly in his arms and ran to the side, ready to show off his new bone knife with his friends.
"Pedal Pedal Pedal T
At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and a cavalryman quickly approached the area.
