Chapter 424: Youzhou Shi Clan, I Want to See You for the First Time
In the Youzhou branch, Cao Chong saw the shopkeeper Zhao asking him about the time for the recruitment of craftsmen, and after a moment of silence, Cao Chong said to the shopkeeper Zhao: "Regarding the issue of craftsmen in the construction of Hanzhong Vocational Training College, I don't know whether Kebi Neng and Budugen can let Xianbei people be the craftsmen who built Hanzhong Vocational Training College?" ”
Cao Chong still remembered that before Lin Chuan went to Yizhou to build the Hanzhong Vocational Training College, he explained to himself that he wanted to promote the integration between the Xianbei Hu people and the people of the Great Wei Dynasty as much as possible through the Hanzhong Vocational Training College.
In this construction of the Hanzhong Vocational Training College, Cao Chong thought about whether he could let the Xianbei Hu craftsmen complete it.
In this way, he also has a suitable reason to let the children of the Xianbei Hu people come to school at Hanzhong Vocational Training College.
"Your Highness, you want to recruit craftsmen from the King of Zhenbei and the King of Zhenxi?
I don't think the king of Zhenbei and the king of Zhenxi will necessarily agree.
However, if Your Highness wants to talk to the King of Zhenbei and the King of Zhenxi in person, you may be able to recruit some Xianbei Hu craftsmen to build the Hanzhong Vocational Training College. ”
Shopkeeper Zhao replied to Cao Chong after hearing that Lin Chuan wanted to recruit people from Kebineng and Budugen to build the Hanzhong Vocational Training College.
"Why don't the kings of Zhenbei and Zhenxi necessarily agree?"
Cao Chong saw that Shopkeeper Zhao was not very optimistic about this matter, so he asked Shopkeeper Zhao.
"Your Highness doesn't know that after the construction of the two new cities, the king of the north of the town and the king of the west of the town have not lived in the city as much as they have lived in the grassland felt tent.
Half of the Hu people return to the city in the winter and spend most of the spring, summer and autumn grazing cattle and sheep on the grasslands.
Only women, the elderly, and children live in the city for most of the year. ”
After the shopkeeper Zhao explained the reason to Cao Chong, Cao Chong understood that this was the living habit of the Xianbei Hu people, and they still stayed on the grassland grazing.
Then Cao Chong thought about it carefully, and it seemed that the Xianbei Hu people had no other livelihood skills except for continuing to graze cattle on the grassland to make a living.
The Great Wei is not fighting now, and the Xianbei Hu people have no chance to go to other places to loot some grain, grass and money.
Although Buyeo has not directly become a state and county of the Great Wei, it has already begun to pay tribute to the Great Wei after the destruction of Goguryeo, just like Silla and Baekje.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, you said that in the future, let the Xianbei Hu people work in the production base in Youzhou, is this matter feasible?"
"Let Hu people work in the production base? I really don't know! ”
After Shopkeeper Zhao heard Cao Chong's thoughts, he really couldn't imagine what Hu Ren looked like working on the assembly line of the production base for a while.
In Zhao's master's cognition, the Hu people should graze cattle and sheep and domesticate horses on the grassland.
So Cao Chong asked this question directly to the shopkeeper Zhao.
Cao Chong thought to himself that although the Xianbei Hu people now lived in the city built by the Great Wei, they could only continue to graze on the grassland because they were not good at farming.
This did not do any good for the integration between the Xianbei Hu people and the common people of Great Wei, and Cao Chong wanted the Hu people to live more in the counties of Youzhou.
As for grazing cattle and sheep and domesticating horses, tribal warfare is not as common on the grasslands as before, and now only a small number of Xianbeihu people can safely graze large herds of cattle and sheep on the grasslands.
"Well, it seems that after meeting the scholars of Youzhou, I should go and meet the king of Zhenbei and Zhenxi."
Cao Chong was reminded by Zhao's shopkeeper that Kebineng was now the king of Zhenbei of Great Wei, and Budugen had become the king of Zhenxi of Great Wei.
The Qianghu tribe, who also surrendered to the Great Wei, also built a city in Liangzhou County to live, but they could not be contacted until Cao Chong went to Liangzhou to build the Hanzhong Vocational Training College.
After Cao Chong made the decision that he wanted the Xianbei Hu people to send craftsmen to build the Hanzhong Vocational Training College, he waited for a meeting with the Youzhou scholars two days later.
Cheng Yu arranged this meeting in his mansion.
This is also Cheng Yu's attempt to prevent Cao Chong from encountering a scholar like Yizhou who is not eye-opening at the banquet again, causing trouble for Cao Chong.
Although Cheng Yu doesn't think that there are still scholars in Youzhou who dare to openly oppose his and the policies of Great Wei, it is better to have some of them personally take care of.
Cheng Yu absolutely supported the construction of Hanzhong Vocational Training College in Youzhou, especially after Cao Chong met with him, he relayed to Cheng Yu that Lin Chuan hoped to promote the integration of Xianbei Hu and Great Wei through Hanzhong Vocational Training College.
Those Youzhou scholars who received Cheng Yu's invitation also knew that the purpose of Cao Chong's visit to Youzhou this time was to build Hanzhong Vocational Training College.
Because of the experience of the Yizhou scholars, although the scholars in Youzhou did not get together to discuss like the Yizhou scholars, everyone tacitly chose to support Cao Chong's construction of Hanzhong Vocational Training College in Youzhou.
Several big families in the Youzhou clan only had a small gathering in private the day before they went to Chengfu for the banquet.
This private gathering mainly included the Tian family of Liaoxi County, the Xu family of Liaodong County, the Lu family of Zhuo County, and the Zhang family of Yuyang County, plus the Sun family of Guangyang County.
These five clans are the five most influential clans in Youzhou today.
Now these five clans are discussing together how to fight for more benefits for their respective families in tomorrow's feast.
Cao Chong, who was still thinking about how to persuade Kebineng and Budugen in the Youzhou branch and sent Hu people to assist in the construction of the Hanzhong Vocational Training College, did not know that the teachers of the Hanzhong Vocational Training College, who the children of the Yizhou scholars were unwilling to serve, had become the cake that the Youzhou scholars wanted to divide.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, how much do you know about the Hu people under Kebineng and Bu Dugen?"
On the second floor of the Youzhou branch, Cao Chong was learning about the situation of the Hu people from the shopkeeper Zhao.
"Back to Your Highness, most of the things I know about the Hu people are from the shopkeepers of the trading houses who participated in the mutual market before."
Then the shopkeeper Zhao told Cao Chong everything he had heard about the Hu people from the shopkeepers of the commercial houses in Youzhou.
Because the main means of livelihood of the Hu people was to graze and raid the borders of other tribes and the Great Wei, the living conditions of the Hu people at the bottom were very poor.
They were to herd cattle and domesticate horses for the tribal leaders, and to act as the vanguard when they went out to raid.
For these ordinary Hu tribesmen, most of the grain, grass and goods obtained from the looting had to be handed over to their own tribal leaders for distribution.
There are really not many grain, grass, property, and slaves that can really be distributed in the hands of ordinary Hu people.
And every winter, all the Xianbei ordinary people have to go through a cruel elimination of nature.
This is also the reason why since the Great Wei built the city for the surrendered Hu people, most of the women, old people and children lived in the city.
