Qing'er, in your opinion, how should the imperial court deal with this kind of Hu people who moved inward? ”

On the issue of how to deal with these Hu people who moved inward, Ran Min was already indecisive and hesitant. There is no way, the stakes are high, judging from the current situation, it seems that the strategy of turning razing into soldiers and turning razing into people is good, which is more in line with the current interests of the Great Wei Empire.

But from a long-term perspective, his generation can suppress the Hu people who moved inward, without squeezing and enslaving them, and can further assimilate the Hu people. But what about the next generation, the next generation of monarchs?

In case of another "Eight Kings Rebellion", I am afraid that the entire land of Shenzhou will face a catastrophe similar to the Five Hu Chaohua.

Hearing Ran Min's question, Xu Zhiqing thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty is worried that the Hu people who moved inward may cause chaos and cause great hidden dangers to the Great Wei in later generations, right?" ”

"Not bad." Ran Min sighed faintly and said: "The five nonsense are chaotic, causing the Central Plains to be ten rooms and nine empty, and it is fishy, and the women of the Han family have also become 'two-legged sheep'!" The past is vivid, and I have to be cautious! ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that Your Majesty still has too many concerns. Since the Han Dynasty, the strategy of the Central Plains Dynasty towards the Hu people has always been to attack or co-opt. Razing to control razing, razing into soldiers and turning razing into people is the consistent means of the Chinese dynasties against the Hu people who moved inward. ”

Xu Zhiqing squinted her eyes and said, "Now that my Great Wei has gone through decades of Hu rebellion, the population is only more than 10 million, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. Although His Majesty encouraged the people to have children, with remarkable results, but in order to really increase the imperial court to increase taxes and labor, the concubines thought that they should accept more Hu people. ”

"Among my Wei army, there are many Hu people who have changed their Han surnames and become Han Chinese, and they are already Han people. The concubine remembered that when His Majesty was in Liangzhou, he once said to the Hu people in Xiliang, 'Since ancient times, China has been noble, and I love it as one', Your Majesty said so to the Hu people in Xiliang, and did the same. ”

"For the Hu people in Xiliang, His Majesty has adopted the strategy of razing them into soldiers and turning them into people. On the one hand, His Majesty asked the chiefs of the various tribes to send some young people to Daliang or other places in the Central Plains every year to study, or to study in official schools. On the one hand, he founded many official schools in Liangzhou, and sent many Confucian students to preach and solve their doubts to the Hu people, so that they could speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, learn Han family etiquette, and behave like Han children. ”

"On the one hand, His Majesty also recruited many Hu warriors to serve as Wei troops. The Hu physique is strong, they grew up on horseback, and they were born to be cavalrymen, so they are often able to make meritorious achievements in various battles! Presumably, Your Majesty will not deny this, right? ”

"Since Your Majesty can treat the Hu people in Xiliang like this, why can't you treat the Hu people in Mobei equally?"

Hearing this, Ran Min slowly closed his eyes, and after a while, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's different, it's different." The Hu people of Xiliang have lived in Han soil for a long time, and they are more or less accustomed to the customs of the Han family, and they can be easily educated, and there are not many Hu people in Liangzhou, only one million people, which can be accepted by the Great Wei. But the Hu people in Mobei are different, many of them fled to Mobei because of "Killing Hu Order", they are rebellious by nature, and how do the more than one million Hu people settle them? ”

"After the destruction of the generation, they were placed in Mobei, but I was afraid that after a long time, there would be a rebellion. What if it is placed in the Central Plains? The population of my Han family is not too much, how to assimilate the Hu people? Moreover, there are many contradictions between Hu and Han, and the deep feud between them cannot be easily resolved. ”

Xu Zhiqing sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you are still too worried. ”

"How?"

"The population of the Han family in my Great Wei is as high as 11 million, and most of them are newborns, but how many Hu people are there? Xianbei people, Di people, Qiang people, Huns, Ding Ling people, etc., these Hu people should not exceed five million, and now there may not even be four million. In other words, the population of my Han family is more than twice that of the Hu people, and almost three times. Moreover, Mobei is bitterly cold, and the Hu people are survival of the fittest, which is far less than the reproduction speed of our Han people. ”

Xu Zhiqing said loudly: "Your Majesty, the concubine can say such a sentence unceremoniously. Fifty years later, according to the current development trend, the population of the Han family in our Great Wei will exceed 30 million, and maybe even more! And when the time comes, after all kinds of assimilation policies, will the Hu people still have room to survive? This generation of Hu people, we can't transform it, the next generation of Hu people can influence, and the next generation of Hu people may become Han people! Your Majesty, what is there to worry about? ”

"This ......" Ran Min still hesitated.

"Your Majesty should still be worried about the Wuhu Chaohua, right? The most fundamental reason for the chaos of the Wuhu at the end of the Jin Dynasty was not that the Hu people were powerful, but that the Han people enslaved the Hu people too much, causing the Hu people to rise up and resist. They are here to be tough, but why didn't the Han Dynasty and Cao Wei have anything to do with the Chinese people before? Is it because there were too many Hu people who moved inward during the Jin Dynasty? No, that's nonsense! Because the Jin court could not control the Hu people who moved inward, they squeezed and enslaved these Hu people, which led to the occurrence of the Wuhu Rebellion. Moreover, if there was no disaster of the Eight Kings Rebellion, the Hu people would not have been able to turn over and plague the Central Plains for decades. ”

Ran Min nodded and said, "Qing'er, you're right. Hu Ren's actions were all forced out by those scholars of the Han family. But if you want to assimilate millions of Hu people, it will not happen overnight, and you can't do it overnight. Maybe I can't do the thing of assimilating the Hu people in my life, since I can't do it, what about the prince? What about the crown prince's prince? The kings of later generations will definitely be able to defend the strategy of using razing to control razing, and those who have razed them into soldiers and razed them into people. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Xu Zhiqing's eyes were shining, and she said, "Your Majesty is right. Since ten years cannot assimilate the Hu people, what about twenty years, thirty years, fifty years, and one hundred years? I have been in China for three or four thousand years, with a long history, broad and profound, why not if you want to assimilate these unruly Hu people? ”

Xu Zhiqing's admonition made Ran Min suddenly burst open.

"Qing'er, your insights are very original. If you weren't born as a daughter, I would have let you become an official. ”

"Your Majesty, can't you make an exception for your concubines once?"

Seeing that Xu Zhiqing seemed to really have the idea of becoming an official, Ran Min raised her eyebrows and said, "Qing'er, this case can't be opened." Sage Yun: A woman's lack of talent is virtue. I don't agree with that, but I can't rebel! It is so ridiculous that a woman enters the court and rules the world with the scholars and doctors, even if I can accept it, the ministers and the men in the world will not be able to accept it. ”

"Liezi Tianrui" said: The difference between men and women, men are superior to women, so men are precious.

Strictly speaking, because women are in an obvious weakness in terms of physical, economic, physiological and social consciousness compared with men's physical, economic, physiological and social consciousness, it dilutes and denies the value of women's human rights, economy, physiology and childbirth, so men are inferior to women, and men are strong and women are weak.

But Ran Min doesn't think so.

As soon as the word "men are inferior to women" is mentioned, modern people think that this is the ancient assertion that men are inherently noble and women are inherently inferior, which is the dregs of traditional culture. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of the idea of "male superiority and inferiority of women".

In the Book of Changes, there is: Heaven and earth are humble, and the universe is fixed. The humble is high, and the noble and the lowly are in the position...... The dry road becomes a man, and the Kun road becomes a woman.

Tianzun means that the sky is high and fair. It's not that Heaven Itself is honored. The humility of the earth is to say that the earth is down-to-earth and kind, regardless of the clean and dirty, there is a saying in the Book of Changes, "the terrain is kun, and the gentleman carries things with virtue".

"Humble" means to make people feel cordial.

The meaning of male superiority and inferiority of women is that men have the characteristics of men, and women have the characteristics of women, which determines the difference in the social division of labor between men and women in the family.

"Male respect" means that men should be noble, upright, respectful, and respectful. Women should be modest, tolerant, and easy to get close to, and "humble" has the meaning of modesty, closeness, and closeness in the ancient saying.

"Male superiority and female inferiority" is to advocate natural harmony, yin and yang in their place. Therefore, "men are superior to women" is a truth about how men and women should live in harmony in life and marriage, without the connotation of inequality between men and women.

When a man is of noble character, women naturally respect him, respect him, and be close to him. There is no reason for disharmony in a family where men are upright and noble, and women are modest and tolerant, and in such a family and society, women naturally have a corresponding status without discrimination.

Xu Zhiqing also knew that it was already embarrassing to let Ran Min make an exception and canonize herself as the mentor of the Jixia Academy. If Xu Zhiqing is made an official and rules the world with the scholars, I am afraid that the men in the world will not approve.

The atmosphere of the times is like this, even Ran Min can't change anything.

"Qing'er, on the issue of assimilating the Hu people, do you think some of my previous measures are still inappropriate?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. His Majesty's strategy for the Hu people in Liangzhou and Heshuo is basically to recruit their warriors as soldiers, set up official schools in the local area, recruit Hu people's children to enroll, and at the same time introduce Hu nobles' children to study in the Central Plains or enter Daliang to study, and then canonize some Hu tribesmen's chieftains as officials to appease them. These strategies were correct, but the concubines thought they were still insufficient. ”

"Oh? What are the shortcomings? Ran Min was very curious.

Xu Zhiqing said, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the speed of assimilation is too slow. ”

"However, I can't issue the "Killing Hu Order" again and force the Hu people to change their Han surnames and become Han nationals, right?"

Xu Zhiqing smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. Your Majesty, the concubines think that the court can still do this. For example, to encourage intermarriage between the Hu and Han ethnic groups, and for Hu women to marry Han children, the government can give three silk horses and five pieces of money. When a Han girl marries Hu'er, the government can give a silk horse and two cattle and sheep. ”

"In this principle, His Majesty can also encourage Hu people to change their surnames to Han and become Han nationals, which will have certain rewards. Moreover, the imperial court also made it clear that the sons born to men and women of the Hu and Han clans must be Han children unless there are special circumstances. ”

"Great idea!"

Ran Min's eyes suddenly lit up.

This method is indeed very good, and national integration will certainly be greatly accelerated.

"Also, Your Majesty should relocate some Han Chinese to live with the Hu people in order to assimilate them. On this basis, His Majesty can also migrate the Hu people to the Central Plains, not all at once, but increasing year by year. ”

"Good!"
