Chapter 1183: The Change of the Southern Barbarians (I)
Southern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty, Yunnan Prefecture.
Not long after the establishment of the state, the entire Dali area and the Kunming area have completely become the main gathering points here in Yunnan Prefecture, because these two places have a large number of plains where farming can be farmed, and a large number of people can live.
Originally, many of the people who lived in the mountains also migrated from the mountains to farm here.
In fact, the people of Shanyue here lived in a very wild environment before, many tribal villages are like tribes in primitive society, and some villages in the deep mountains have some very bloody primitive sacrifice way of living.
And the influence of the Tang Dynasty on this place can always be said to be very weak, or the influence of all dynasties on this place is very weak.
The two places on the east side of Yunnan Prefecture are better, after all, they are close to the sea, and then in the Han Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after the port of Guangzhou gradually began to prosper, there were gradually people here who began to infiltrate.
However, the mountainous areas of these places in Yunnan have always retained their primitive features, even if these places once belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty such as the Han Dynasty, but in fact, the deep mountains are completely different worlds.
Different from later generations, in this era, a large number of primeval forests are still covered on a large area of land here, just like Li Ke wanted to build a Qinwangzhuang next to Cangshan Erhai Lake, the dense primeval forest has been stretching down from Cangshan Mountain to Erhai Lake.
If it weren't for the fact that after the Tang Dynasty took control of this place, they gradually began to immigrate to this place, cutting down forests for building houses, burning charcoal, and then exploring minerals in the surrounding mountains for building iron mines, etc., the forests here would not have changed much.
There is still a big gap between this era and later generations.
But in a short period of time, the forces of nature cannot keep up with human destruction, even in ancient times.
As a large number of people from the mountains and forests migrated down, large gathering points were constantly formed. Similarly, departments at all levels of Datang have naturally begun to build up.
Many of the officials in these places were officials transferred from the Liangguang Land, and these officials were also the first batch of people who had undergone Li Ke's reforms, and these local officials knew very well what His Royal Highness the King of Qin wanted, after all, they already had experience in the Liangguang Land.
What's more, if they want to take more ports and cities like Lizhi Port, they must follow in the footsteps of His Highness steadily, and it will definitely be impossible to make trouble for His Highness.
For example, Feng Ang and other families responded immediately.
In addition to the officials in charge of the main management, most of the members of the security forces here were also transferred from the Liangguang side, and a considerable number of them were trained and trained by the people of Shanyue there.
They have the idea of following Li Ke, and they also have the ability to be familiar with the customs and habits of the local Shanyue people and understand their living customs.
Therefore, these local management are rapidly and steadily developing in a state of rapid development.
In fact, Li Ke overestimated the difficulty here, and the consciousness he accepted in his mind was more of an impression of how difficult it was for these ethnic minorities to get along and how they were more tricky between the late Qing Dynasty and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
And after coming to Datang, he didn't know the local people at all, so he strengthened his strength in all aspects to deal with the affairs of these local Shanyue people.
But Li Ke forgot one of the most fundamental things, in the Tang Dynasty, most of the people of Shanyue in these mountains and forests, almost most of them are in the struggle line for food and clothing, and the lives of many tribes are in an extremely primitive state, and life is the greatest pursuit.
In addition, some chaotic beliefs and traditions have not been formed here at all, only some primitive worship and the like, and the national question is far less difficult to deal with than that of later generations, or whether or not a nation has been formed is a problem.
Under such circumstances, when Li Ke's thoughts entered here, it could be said that they were the first to encroach on these most simple mountain people's thoughts, which had just come out of the primitive state.
I'm afraid Li Ke can't imagine that in this land of mountains and mountains, all the sayings and rules that Li Ke has passed on have the greatest influence here!
In other words, Li Ke has become the biggest faith here!
As a result, Datang's dominance over the local area is deepening at a terrifying rate, which is why Datang has completely eliminated the influence of the local six edicts in just a few years, and the original Nanzhao has quickly become a state and county of Datang.
And here, in response to the Tang Dynasty's conscription policy, the mountain soldiers who became compulsory soldiers are also the most!
Because no one has ever completely solved the problem of food and clothing for these people, and no one has ever completely solved the problem of treatment for life and diseases in their local area.
But Li Ke did it.
Through the reverse transportation of the Lancang River, a large amount of grain, salt and various low-cost fabrics are transported to the land of Yunnan and Guizhou every year, so that Li Ke's influence here has reached an unprecedented height.
I'm afraid that only Qinghai can compare with here.
It's just that Li Ke himself doesn't know it. The Nanban, who was the most difficult to solve in the past dynasties, is now the most loyal follower of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, and even the entire Lingnan Road must be counted, because these places are also dominated by mountain people.
Yunnan Prefecture, Pu'er County, Xinbu.
The new tribe has been attached to the Tang Dynasty for more than a year, and they have also migrated down from the mountains, living in the southernmost part of Pu'er County, and on the south side are several large independent tribes, but there is no attachment to the Tang Dynasty for the time being.
The new department is a township according to the division above the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, the population is not large, because it takes into account the gradual migration of other tribes in the future, so it is planned as a township.
But in fact, there are less than 500 people living in the entire new department, but because this place is planned to be a township, the thorn history of Yunnan Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty is also responsible for the food problem here, encouraging local caravans to transport grain here, and then recovering the medicinal materials collected by the new department, and then transporting the medicinal materials back to Kunming for processing and processing.
Not only grain, but also some cloth and salt will be transported to them, and these caravans will have a monthly subsidy from the Tang Dynasty.
Ningshan's caravan is such a caravan, their caravan is mainly composed of pack horses and two elephants from Yunnan Prefecture, yes, there are elephants in their caravan!
These two elephants were also given to them by the local mountain tribe, and it was not easy to domesticate the elephants, not to mention that these two adult elephants had transported a lot of supplies for them, and the most important thing was that these two elephants were the force of their caravans, which could deter all kinds of large wild animals in the surrounding primeval jungle.
