The port of Feiru County.

Countless men were carrying goods, and the noise inside and outside the port was full of noise, the roar of machines, the shouts of people, the grinding of iron chains, etc., which made people feel a little harsh, but they showed vitality.

On the top floor of a flag pavilion not far from the port, Liu Jian and Xun Yu sat opposite each other, with a table table in the middle, a pot of old wine burning next to it, and a plate of dates and a plate of peaches on the table.

"The port hasn't been built yet? Already in use? Liu Jian asked Xun Yu with a smile.

Xun Yu picked up the wine jug on the table and poured it full of wine for Liu Jian: "The general built many ports along the coast of Hebei, not to see the scale of the port, large-scale ports can be built slowly, but the use of sea routes and big ships needs to be as early as possible!" ”

Liu Jian nodded lightly and said: "I have notified the Hebei Commerce and Trade Association, informing them that the temporary ports and routes in Liaodong, Hanzhou and other places have been opened, and I believe that it will not be long before more and more Hebei businessmen will use these ports to travel between Liaodong, Hanzhou and the hinterland of Hebei, and the resources of the two places will also be ......more frequent because of the shipping routes."

Xun Yu sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that if the southern coastal counties can also be under the control of the lord, then the prosperity of the Han family is just around the corner......"

"That's sooner or later."

Liu Jian smiled and raised the wine lord and said, "Why rush for a while? Let's use the sea routes of the Bohai Sea to train an excellent fleet of seagoing ships and experienced sailors, and after the recovery of the south in the future, these seagoing experiences can come in handy! ”

Xun Yu has also experienced strong winds and waves in Youzhou over the years, and now the northern border of the Han Dynasty is flourishing in his hands, and he himself has long practiced the ability to be pampered and not shocked.

But even so, after listening to Liu Jian's words today, he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.

Lord, Lord, why do you always tug at the heartstrings in my heart that make my blood boil?

"Wen Ruo, have you heard about the state side?"

Xun Yu came back to his senses from his reverie.

He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "How can you not know?" The lord subdued the eight tribes of Montenegro, Baibo, and Dingxiong, and the surrendered Xiongnu population of cattle, sheep and horses were countless, and Yu did not dare to know about this matter. ”

"Then do you know that Fengxiao is now in Bingzhou, registering the Huns and changing their names?"

Xun Yu is so smart, he knows the elegance when he hears the sound of the piano.

"Here in Youzhou, the Wuhuan people have also been registered, but their names have not been sinicized, and most of them are barbaric names...... What does the lord mean ......? ”

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Wuhuan is Wuhuan and Xiongnu is Xiongnu, but for my Han, they are all the same, since they are going to join my Han after all, what are you doing with your original name?" In the future, if you give birth to offspring and are different from the children of the Han people, won't it make the children misunderstood? That's not a good thing. ”

Xun Yu said: "Don't worry, my lord, I already know about this matter, and I will definitely do it when I go back." ”

After that, Xun Yu said again: "There is one more thing, the last official wants to inform the lord, I hesitated again and again about this matter, but I don't know how to deal with it, and I implore the lord to decide for me." ”

Liu Jian smiled: "It's okay for Wen Ruo to say. ”

Xun Yu said: "For the Han Dynasty, the alien races in the north include the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei...... Among them, Wuhuan and the Southern Xiongnu have always been attached to our Han Dynasty, and it is relatively easy to dispose of, and now all their departments have been returned to Wanghua, which can be beneficial for thousands of years. ”

"It's just that for my Han, the most powerful opponent in the past few decades is the Xianbei tribe led by Tanshi Huai, when the general first entered the ranks, he killed Helian in one fell swoop and captured the body of Tanshi Huai, which can be described as a merit for the ages!"

"Later, my Han Dynasty used graphite to attract the Xianbei tribesmen to make it for my Han people, and used graphite to exchange cattle, sheep and horses from the Xianbei tribes every year, and even extracted people from their tribes for the Han Dynasty...... However, this is in the case of the dispersal of the Xianbei Tribes...... For the time being, there is no one in Xianbei who has the ability to integrate Xianbei and make enemies of my Han......"

Liu Jian nodded and said, "Do you think that such a character will appear in Xianbei?" ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "Not for the time being, but I am afraid that one day it will appear, and although Xianbei is scattered and controlled by my Hebei, after all, Xianbei was not attached to my Han before, their strategic depth is too great, and it seems unlikely that they will surrender to Han in a short period of time like the Xiongnu and Wuhuan......"

Liu Jian nodded.

The Xianbei tribes and the Xiongnu are indeed different.

As Xun Yu said, the strategic depth of the Xianbei tribes is too great, and their population is far less than that of the Han people, but their territory can be extended from the northern border of the Han Dynasty to the Mongolian Plateau, to Ulaanbaatar, and even to Darkhan.

What is this concept?

This concept is that their deep territory is almost as large as the territory of Shu Han and Eastern Wu combined in history.

Under such a vast strategic depth, it was impossible for Liu Jian to drive troops to capture these tribes back to the Han Dynasty one by one and let them change their names to Han nationality.

There were not so many people, and Liu Jian could not afford such a big military operation.

At least, not at the moment.

However, compared with the past, the Hebei government headed by Liu Jian has made two major strategic advances compared with the former Han Dynasty and Xianbei.

The first is that in the past, Liu Jian had killed and Lian, and divided Xianbei, this influence is still there, the major tribes of Xianbei are fighting with each other, unable to unify, although the territory occupied by the Xianbei tribes is large, but the larger the area, the more things, and the more people who want to call Shan Yu.

This gives the Han people an excellent space for differentiation, and as long as the Han people have been paying attention to them, exercising discord, co-optation, and division, it will be difficult for them to unify.

The second is that Liu Jian currently has a clear understanding of the approximate location of the Xianbei departments.

This location only includes the location in winter.

Xianbei are nomadic people, they live in the north by grass, live on horses all year round, and have no fixed residence. In order to survive, it is normal to move around.

However, this does not mean that there is no pattern to where they live.

Nature is fickle, but it also has certain patterns to be found.

Although the solar terms vary slightly from place to year, the overall climate and the number of aquatic weeds and prey remain roughly the same.

Every spring, autumn or summer, Xianbei will chase their horses on the grassland, they will go north, they will go west or east...... This Liu Jian can't control it.

But every winter, Xianbei basically migrates back to the grassland border in the north of Youzhou.

In winter, according to the area occupied by Xianbei, the place where the latitude temperature is slightly higher is the grassland near the Han Realm, which is the southernmost place for them.

It's cold, but it doesn't freeze them to death...... Or rather, there are not too many people who will freeze them to death.

For the original Xianbei ancestors, migrating to the border of the Han Dynasty, they could also raid the Han people in Youzhou and Bingzhou border counties in winter, and enrich themselves with their grain.

But that's the original, after all.

Do you still dare to let these scattered tribes of Xianbei come to Youzhou to plunder?

Not to mention anything else, if they really dare to come again, Liu Jian's army will kill them directly.

Especially now Xianbei still relies on the Han Dynasty.

Regardless of where they are full of joy every spring and summer, once it is winter, they will move back to their fixed border residence of the Han Dynasty, because graphite can ensure that they can continue to live in winter.

In terms of the nature of Xianbei, it is true that they cannot live in these houses with ondols all year round.

But once it is winter, they get it back habitually.

And this is the reason why Liu Jian was able to grasp their whereabouts in winter.

This earthen house is the residence of Xianbei in winter.

Once something happened between the two sides, Liu Jian could launch an attack on these Xianbei garrisons in winter.

And without Hebei's graphite, these ondols will also lose their effectiveness in winter, and Xianbei is reluctant.

Therefore, the current Xianbei tribes are subject to the Han Dynasty.

But even so, no one knows what Xianbei will be in the future.

Therefore, Xun Yu raised the doubts in his heart.

With Xianbei's current state, it really can't pose a threat to the Han Dynasty...... But who knows if Xianbei will not appear in the future a character like Tanshi Huai to dominate the Xianbei tribes, once such a character appears, how should the Han deal with it?

Facing Xun Yu's doubts, Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that when it comes to the long-term thinking, Xun Wenruo should be the first in the world.

"Wen Ruo thinks in his heart, I also know that Xianbei is different from Wuhuan and Xiongnu, and he can't finish his work in one battle, so he has to go through a long period of appeasement, differentiation, and education...... In order to gradually merge it into the Han Dynasty, but during this period, if the Xianbei departments are unified, it is the fierce enemy of our Han Dynasty, so what we have to do is to continue to differentiate Xianbei, and at the same time not let Xianbei have outstanding figures, so it is okay. ”

Xun Yu arched his hand and asked: "Divide the Xianbei tribes, this is understandable, but in the Xianbei, once there is an outstanding person, how to deal with it?" ”

Liu Jian stretched out his palm and made a horizontal slashing motion in front of Xun Yu.

Xun Yu couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart.

"Kill?"

Liu Jian smiled when he heard this, noncommittal.

"It's just ......" Xun Yu said with some puzzlement: "This ...... And how should they be killed? ”

Liu Jian took a sip of the wine lord and looked up at the roof of the flag tower.

He secretly said in his heart:

It's time......

It's time to set up a school office that is just for you...... Interior Guard...... Imperial City Division...... Jinyi Wei ...... Sticky rod ...... Middle...... Shadows?

Anyway, it's such a department.

Regardless, the functions of this department are investigation, supervision, assassination...... But there is no doubt that this department needs a group of highly armed dead soldiers as its own team.

But how to cultivate a dead soldier with strong personal force?

In fact, Liu Jian came to Youzhou this time for this matter.

He went here to find someone to help him with this.
