Fenghou

Chapter 705 Disposal
At noon, the snow was still falling, but it was already much smaller. The fields, roofs, treetops, and streets were covered with thick snow. Children started to come out to play and have snowball fights on the street. They were suppressed by fear all the time. The city finally had laughter, and it was for this reason that the adults did not call the children home to let the laughter last longer.

The cavalry of the Song Army patrolled the streets without interfering with the children's play, and the streets were in order.

Standing in front of the window, Chen Qing watched a group of children running and having snowball fights on the street. He turned to Zhang Xiao: "Sima is right. The key is the children. Change starts with the children, education, culture, and sending outstanding children to Jingzhao. Let them accept Han culture psychologically, identify with Han culture, and then encourage intermarriage to turn their children and grandchildren into Han people, is twenty years enough time?"

Zhang Xiaowei smiled and said: "Actually, it won't take twenty years. If you do well, a few years will be enough. The key is profit. It is profitable to become Han people, and the people will definitely flock to it. For example, sending children to study can share the land and can be tax-free. For example, I learned that many people in Xixia can speak Chinese, and ordinary people can also speak a few words, but they don’t want to speak it, but as long as we create an atmosphere where only Chinese can be used, everyone will definitely be able to speak Chinese.”

"Why can you speak Chinese?" Chen Qing asked curiously.

"Because the Dangxiang people in the city are different from the Dangxiang people who graze, just like the difference between cooked and uncooked. The Dangxiang people in the herds live on animal husbandry and have no communication with the outside world, so they basically speak Dangxiang language, and the Dangxiang people in the city do not. Farming, mainly engaged in business and handicrafts, a lot of communication, basically can speak some Chinese, plus their Han slaves, as far as I know, they communicate with each other and speak the party language, but with the Han slaves Being able to speak Chinese is just a question of who is the master and who is the vice.

As long as all officials speak Chinese and all businesses speak Chinese, after a few years, the Dangxiang language will not be heard here. As for the promotion of Chinese character reading, that is the second step. Take your time. Abolition, books, steles, storefronts, etc., are not allowed to appear, and all people who understand the party's writing are sent to Sichuan and Shaanxi, just like plants without land, they will soon wither. "

Chen Qing took a few steps with his hands behind his back and said: "When it comes to interests, we have to cultivate a group of Han gentry and Han landlords. The government alone can't do it. These gentry and landlords are the backbone of promoting Sinicization and maintaining Sinicization.

Some injured generals, I am going to let them leave the army and stay in Lingzhou, and Han Chinese managers like Song Cheng can be trained as landlords.

Party members who are willing to accept Sinicization can become civilians, while stubborn Party members can only be reduced to slaves and tenant farmers. This is the redistribution of interests. Xixia has been destroyed, so it is impossible to maintain the status quo. The Han people must stand up. Benefits must be redistributed. "

Chen Qing pondered for a moment and said: "According to the original plan, part of the party members will migrate to northern Shaanxi, and the rest of the party members must live together with the Han, Qiang, Uyghur and other ethnic groups. The Han people are dominant, and they must be mixed. , this is the principle, there must be no Dangxiang County or Qiangren County.

The best way is to weaken the current Xingqing Prefecture, establish more counties in the Hetao area, disperse the population, and then cooperate with the villages to make all the counties operate around farming.

As for business, Lingzhou can be assigned this function, and it can be done slowly, and the plan can be completed within five years. "

Chen Qing stared at Zhang Xiao and said, "Re-establishing Lingzhou Road, Zhang Sima will be the highest administrative officer, and he has a heavy burden on his shoulders!"

Zhang Xiao knew that Chen Qing took him to go to Xixia for the purpose of allowing him to take charge of Xixia government affairs. This trust moved him, but he had to suggest Chen Qing to think more broadly about this matter.

"I reported to the Xuanfu envoy that I suggested that Lingxia Road be set up, and Lingzhou Prefecture and Xiazhou Prefecture be set up below. The road is mainly military, and the Han Navy should be set up to control the party members internally and defend against the invasion of Jin soldiers externally.

The government is in charge of government affairs and reports directly to the Xuanfu envoy. The humble official can serve as the magistrate of Lingzhou, and the humble official recommends Lu Wei as the magistrate of Xiazhou. Cultivating his ability to deal with the Qiang people and being independent will help him mature.

Then set up a Lingxia Road Transshipment Department, which is in charge of both the military and the civilians, and then set up a punishment department and a supervision department. Xuan Fu envoy under the jurisdiction. "

"What about the imperial court?"

Chen Qing said again: "I'm a little undecided now. I want to hear Sima's opinion on whether to let the imperial court intervene in Xixia."

Zhang Xiaowei smiled and said: "Xixia is not Sichuan, there is no oil and water, I guess the imperial court is not very interested, at most it only has one name, for example, the imperial court reviews the work reports of Lingzhou Prefecture and Xiazhou Prefecture every year, I have one The idea is to take out some low-level official positions, such as Zhu Bo, county magistrates, or ministers of various prefectures, etc., and ask the court to send a group of young and talented Jinshi to work on Lingxia Road. After these officials come to Jingzhao to report, what will happen? How to use it is up to the Xuanfu envoy to decide."

"Great trick!"

Chen Qing applauded and laughed. There are many young Jinshi in the imperial court who are waiting for jobs. Since the imperial court doesn’t use them, it’s better to give them to themselves. They use Lingxia Road’s lack of people as an excuse to ask these young talents to come here.

"Let's make this decision! Sima write me a detailed report, and I'll think it over."

Just three days after the capture of Xingqing Mansion, Chen Qing received news from Cao Baozong that his brother Cao Baohui was willing to surrender to the Song army. Since the Hetao area in the north was covered by heavy snow, he could only lead his army south to surrender after the beginning of spring.

Chen Qing was overjoyed, and immediately changed the name of the Black Mountain Army Division to Fengzhou, and appointed Cao Baohui as the commander of the upper army, and served as the commander of Fengzhou soldiers and horses.

Of course, this is just a measure of rights and interests. It is impossible to allow the Dangxiang Army to defend Fengzhou again. It can only be reorganized next year. Cao Baohui will go to Hexi to serve.

This morning, Chen Qing, accompanied by Cao Baozong, inspected the situation in the city. Cao Baozong was familiar with the situation of Xixia people, so Chen Qing appointed him as the general judge of Lingzhou Prefecture and became Zhang Xiao's right-hand man.

The martial law in the city had been lifted a few days ago, and many shops had opened, and Song Jun in twos and threes became the guests of these shops.

The biggest change is that the streets used to be full of Dangxiang dialect, but now it is no longer, the streets are full of Chinese speakers, and the best business is restaurants and brothels. Of course, the former Han female slaves can no longer be seen in the brothels. Disappeared, every brothel will be beheaded if it dares to use Han women as prostitutes.

Now they are all Uyghur, Qiang and Dangxiang people, and the Song army no longer interferes. After all, a large number of Song army soldiers also have physical needs. Basically, there are long queues in front of every brothel.

The restaurant is the same, every household is full of customers, full of soldiers of the Song Army who came to drink and eat.

Chen Qing gave the army a three-day vacation in rotation. Basically, within half a month, the business in the city was extremely prosperous.

As expected of the capital of Western Xia, Xingqing City had many mansions, but Chen Qing saw many women carrying packages and boxes, leading their children out of the mansions, and hastily boarded an ox cart and left.

Chen Qing pointed his horsewhip and asked curiously, "What's going on with these women?"

Cao Baozong said with a smile: "The owners of these big houses are former dignitaries, officials or wealthy families. There are no male masters, and the remaining women and children can't support such a big house, so they can only move to live in a small courtyard. "

"Actually, there is no need to worry so much."

Cao Baozong shook his head, "The envoy Xuanfu didn't know something. These women are not stupid. Living in this kind of big house, they will become fat sheep in the eyes of many people. Before, they all agreed to leave a thousand coins for them. They are basically If they ask for silver, the humble staff will know that they are going to leave quickly."

"Let's do whatever they want! These mansions will be taken back as official residences, and will be used by officials and garrison generals in the future."

"Understandable!"

At this time, Chen Qing saw that the city wall was being repaired, and many craftsmen inside seemed to be locals. Chen Qing asked curiously, "Are there many local craftsmen?"

Cao Baozong nodded, "The party members living in the city are mainly engaged in commerce and handicrafts. Among the party members at the bottom, there are many craftsmen of all kinds. There are tens of thousands of masons and carpenters who only build houses, but they are a little older, middle-aged Too much."

"That's right! I haven't seen young party members, they are basically middle-aged people, have all the young people been consumed?"

Cao Baozong sighed, "They almost died in the war. During the two years of fighting with Xiao Heda, soldiers were recruited every day in Xingqing City. Except for the slaves of the powerful, ordinary civilians must be soldiers. under the age of fifteen.

Later, it fought against the Song army, and stipulated that all men over the age of [-] and under [-] must join the army. Now the remaining young men are prisoners of war. The city is basically full of middle-aged people and women, and young men cannot be seen. "

Chen Qing shook his head, and couldn't help laughing at himself. He thought so hard about how to deal with the party members, but he forgot the most critical factor. The young men in the party party could no longer fight, so what was he worried about?
"Han slaves
There are hundreds of thousands of young and strong men in Li who have not married wives, and this can solve a big problem. "
