On the northern border of the Han Dynasty, there were many nomadic peoples, among which Xianbei was undoubtedly the largest group, followed by the Xiongnu and Wuhuan and other well-known ethnic groups.

Of course, most of the other ethnic groups have now been expelled or annexed by the Xianbei ethnic groups, but it does not mean that they do not exist, after all, after the Wuhu Rebellion, the north and west of Middle Earth, as well as the northwest and northeast, there will always be all kinds of grassland peoples, in a sense, these grassland peoples have invaded Middle Earth almost throughout the entire history of China's development.

From a certain point of view, these nomads were an important obstacle to the economic development of the Han Dynasty.

But if you look at it from a different angle, or a different way of operating, from the perspective of doing business, these steppe people may also be able to become the best slaves to support the prosperity and stability of the Han Dynasty.

They will continue to provide fresh blood for the Han Dynasty.

In particular, fresh beef and mutton meat with various crops, as well as excellent horses.

The life of the nomads in the steppe is actually very difficult, and if you add up the population of all the tribes of the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Wuhuan, it may be one-tenth of the Han people, even if it is the population of the later Rouran, Turkic, Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolian ethnic groups, compared to the Han people, has always been very little, but their combat ability has always made the Central Plains people feel a headache, the key is that they belong to the semi-cultivated and semi-nomadic people.

There is a saying that poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and this sentence is the most suitable for these grassland people.

Because there is no good living environment, they are always on the move, because there is no stable living environment, they are always sharpening themselves.

At a time when the people of the Central Plains were constantly inventing and creating, constantly improving their lives, and constantly developing the trade economy, these grassland people used their spiritual heads on such violent things as how to rob, how to invade, and how to improve the quality of individual combat.

Do you think they can not be strong?

The environment is the first factor that shapes their fierce folk culture.

Therefore, for the nomads in the north of the Han Dynasty, Liu Jian formulated a very detailed strategy plan.

If you want to turn these steppe people from a threat to a new blood that supports the Han Dynasty, and form a virtuous circle between the Han Dynasty and the grassland aliens, you need to start from the source.

That is, to change their living environment.

It's shameless to say, in fact, Liu Jian is also for their good.

People are inert, and once this inertia is formed, it is basically impossible for you to change it and let him live a hard-working life again.

The earthen house and the ondol are a good place to start.

Among the nomadic tribes in the north, earthen houses and ondols are widely promoted, so that from now on, they will have the ability to survive every warm winter and will not die because of the cold of winter......

However, the Han Dynasty government strangled the supply of coal, and without coal, all the earthen houses and ondols were just waste, and they were not used.

However, if you ask the nomads who have already experienced the fire kang and winter heating to discard the fire kang and go to the kind of life that shivers in the cold winter and faces the crisis of freezing to death in every cold winter, are they willing to go there?

Liu Jian used his own head to guarantee that it was impossible at all!

As long as they are not mentally ill, they will never accept this regression!

In this way, the source of everything is opened.

With a house and a kang on the stove, for the nomads, their living quarters were basically fixed.

After all, this house and the kang are their life-saving dwellings in winter, even if it is for this house, they can no longer move everywhere like before, and they can just set up a tent to sleep wherever they go.

However, if you have a permanent residence, you also have to find a livelihood for them, otherwise they will continue to migrate as nomads if they have no livelihood.

And Liu Jian has already found things to do for them, that is, farm animal husbandry and wheat planting.

"Qi Min Yaoshu" has begun to be widely distributed in the Han Dynasty, and every year it will be revised and updated by experience, and republished and distributed in a better version.

Through the exchange of experience in "Qi Min Yaoshu" and the promotion of various livelihood industries, the experience and skills of yeoman farmers in Dahan have improved by leaps and bounds.

The agricultural development of the Han Dynasty is now progressing in an all-round and three-dimensional way!

After all, as long as the right soil is given, the yellow people are talented in updating technology and iterative inventions, which can be said to be more famous all over the world.

The grassroots agricultural science and technology of the Han Dynasty were therefore at the forefront of the times.

With the current level of agriculture of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that it is very easy to support the agriculture of these northern nomads, as long as the experience and ability of the Han people in planting crops are passed on to these nomadic peoples, it is enough for them to be able to support themselves locally.

Of course, when it comes to animal husbandry, the nomadic people have their own unique advantages, after all, the grasslands they occupy are rich in water and grass.

Once they were able to build pastures, the cattle and sheep on the plateau grasslands north of the Han Dynasty would inevitably flock into herds in the future, and the production of meat would inevitably double.

With a house, a kang to grow, and a lot of cattle and sheep to grow as private property, what will these nomads in the north do next?

Quite simply, they will start building the earthen city!

The original nomads were barefoot and not afraid to wear boots, because they did not have any so-called private property, and they walked wherever they went.

But once they have a house, a field, a pasture, and a lot of personal possessions...... If they continue to run away as they did before, will these things become someone else's?

From the perspective of a normal person, it is absolutely impossible to continue walking, to continue to be nomadic!

When a person has nothing, it is the most terrible, but once they have more things, then they will be completely bound by these private possessions and lose their blood!

Liu Jian estimates that in a few decades, there will be one primitive city-state after another on the grassland, they will herd horses and sheep, reclaim the land, they will no longer drink blood, they will no longer move, they will work hard for what they have now, they will work hard to cultivate and graze during the day, and blow the lamp at night and start to work hard to make children.

What a peace!

Now that the nomads in the north have their homeland, how will they get along with the Han Dynasty next?

It's very simple, everyone is open to the mutual market to do business.

So what should this business do?

It's very simple, what do you lack from each other?

What do the people of the steppe have?

There is the wheat and grain they have worked hard to grow, and the cattle, sheep and horses that they graze in the pasture from morning to night......

The problem is, these things are also available in the Han Dynasty, and there is nothing new.

What do the people of the Han Dynasty have?

In addition to wheat, cattle, sheep and horses, the Han Dynasty also had graphite and coal, as well as high-grade iron tools, as well as a variety of metal products produced in the mining areas for construction and industrial smelting.

There are also beautiful Qingzhou silks, fine wine, tea, lacquerware, Jiangdong ploughs that can help you reclaim more land, and stronger excellent breeding cattle that can breed your cattle......

And solid wood furniture! What a table of eight immortals, a chair of the master, a rocking chair.

What other waterwheels, books, rouge gouache.

There are also various seasonings later......

After the iron mines in various places were developed by Liu Jian, there were still iron pots, shovels and the like......

There are also a variety of "luxury cars"! Artwork! Ceramics, porcelain!

There are even Chinese herbal medicines that can cure various diseases.

In short, all kinds of things, all kinds of high-end products, everything!

On the other hand, the grassland people seem to have nothing but grain, cattle and sheep.

How do you change this?

Alas, there is no way, you have few things, so you can't change it, our Han Dynasty people are kind-hearted, so try to accommodate you.

We can take a pound of coal in exchange for a sheep for you.

We can take a brocade cloth and exchange it for a horse for you.

We can take a "luxury car" and exchange it for twenty or thirty cows.

……

Why do you change it like this? On what basis?

According to?

The basis is that what you have, we have.

What we have, you don't.

It's nice that we can trade with you.

What is the basis for this?

The aliens of the steppe said, but we don't have so many cattle, sheep and horses!

Won't you work harder to raise more cattle, sheep and horses, and grow more grain in exchange for us?

The grassland people said: But we got up early and greedy for darkness, and we worked hard, and we didn't get enough cattle, sheep and horses to exchange with you.

Well, if you don't have enough things, you can work hard.

There were many projects to be done in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

What are the digging of the Grand Canal, the expansion of the city, the construction of the palace, the construction of the dam, the water conservancy project......

We Han Dynasty people can't do it ourselves, and we Han Dynasty people need to pay a light amount to the people, but we still need someone to do these jobs......

Otherwise, you will be cheaper, and you will come to work with us!

Sell some physical strength and wrists, and you can take a lot of good things back to the tribe when you turn around.

Well, that's it!

If you are not willing to do manual work.

It's okay to be a big soldier!

Our Han is now in a civil war.

Hebei needs soldiers here, and your young and strong people can come over to join the army and fight!

And we are not only going to fight a war to unify the whole country, we will have to fight more places in the future, and we may even fight to Daqin!

I don't know where Daqin is? It's okay, don't you know if you follow along?

……

Develop a wonderful, harmonious, and great Han Dynasty Co-Prosperity Circle!

The prosperity of the Han Dynasty is inseparable from the help of you aliens!

Who says that those who are not of my race must have different hearts?

If you are not of my race, your heart is also loyal!

The Han Dynasty will not forget your efforts!

Tea, coal, wok, wine, brocade, beautiful clothes, furniture, luxury cars, etc., will be enough for you when the time comes!

By the way, there are also our Confucian culture books, which are very numerous, sell them cheaply for you, and go back to read them to your children.

In these years, no matter how hard and tired you are, you can't be bitter about the children.

You must keep up with your studies!

You can just take it back to the tribe and pretend to be forced.

……

……

The above is not just a plan, but has already begun to be implemented in northern Xinjiang.

After those alien envoys returned, facing their leaders and people, they found that it seemed that the current situation had to be done according to Liu Jian's design.

Pandora's box has been opened, and it is impossible for anyone to go against the tide of the times.

Who dares to be disobedient?

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Liyi's people went to teach him how to be a man!

……

In the first year of Xingping, Liu Jian suddenly received another news, saying that tens of thousands of Tai students in Chang'an and Luoyang suddenly acted collectively after orderly planning.

They besieged the government offices, marched in the streets, blocked the government offices and various main roads, and strongly protested, demanding the abolition of the imperial examination and the restoration of the ancestral system.

After Liu Jian learned the news, he was embarrassed.

To be honest, compared to the aliens in the north, it is still more difficult for our own family members of the Han Dynasty to deal with.

However, these things are more or less within Liu Jian's expectations.

In a sense, these students are vested interests in the probationary system.

Since they are aware of vested interests, it is naturally impossible for them to easily give up their interests and be taken away by others.

It's just that what Liu Jian didn't expect was that in order to deal with this matter, Dong Zhuo actually sent Lu Bu to lead the Bingzhou Army Headquarters to Luoyang to pacify!

said it was appeasement, but Liu Jian understood that it was actually suppression!

After knowing the news, the first thought that popped into Liu Jian's mind was:

Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid I'm going to cause a big disaster this time.
