Man Tanghong

Chapter 878
After Li Xiuning accepted Feng An's gift, Feng An's gift-giving process in Chang'an City was completed.

All the people he couldn't afford to offend, or those he didn't want to offend, accepted his gifts, so naturally he couldn't speak ill of him. His waist finally straightened up, and he changed from the initial submissiveness, and became calmer. few.

In Zhaode Hall, Li Yuanji hosted Feng An for the third time, and finally got down to business.

"Feng Aiqing, how do you think Jiaozhou should be managed in order to prosper and prosper?"

Holding the wine cup, Li Yuanji asked Feng An this crucial question after talking a lot with Feng An.

Chen Shuda and Ren Gui were also present during the dinner. When they heard this, they both looked at Feng An, wondering how Feng An would respond.

Feng An seemed to have expected Li Yuanji's question a long time ago, and said with a calm smile, "Returning to Your Highness, like the grandson governor, I'm afraid there will never be a way to make Jiaozhou prosperous."

Li Yuanji nodded in agreement.

He sent Changsun Wuji to Jiaozhou, and he didn't expect Changsun Wuji to manage Jiaozhou. He just asked Changsun Wuji to reclaim wasteland in Jiaozhou and vigorously promote agriculture in Jiaozhou, and then used this to circle Changsun Wuji.

So Changsun Wuji can't do anything, he knows it well.

Chen Shuda took advantage of the situation and asked, "Then how should we manage Jiaozhou in Geng Gong's opinion?"

Feng An already had a draft in his mind, and immediately smiled without hesitation: "Naturally, we should promote education and transform the barbarians into Han. When Jiaozhou is all dressed in Han clothes, learns Chinese characters, and respects Han etiquette, Jiaozhou will surely prosper. "

These words seem to give an idea, but actually saying it is tantamount to not saying it.

If it was easy to promote Sinicization in Jiaozhou, it would be impossible for this kind of problem to be left in the Tang Dynasty. It was solved as early as the former Sui Dynasty and even the former Han Dynasty.

It is because it is not easy to promote Sinicization in Jiaozhou that the problems in Jiaozhou have remained until now.

It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the Han people were forced to travel south again, and they barely completed the initial Sinicization in Jiaozhou.

After the efforts of the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of Jiaozhou was finally completely sinicized.

The reason why it is said to be most of the places is because some places were lost before being passed on to later generations, and were finally occupied by monkeys.

But right now it is Datang, not the Southern Song Dynasty, nor the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is impossible for Datang to wait for his successor to manage Jiaozhou, so he must come up with a way that is suitable for Datang and can manage Jiaozhou now.

Ren Gui heard the meaning of coping in Feng An's words, and said unceremoniously: "Don't Mr. Geng think that there is no difference between saying this and not saying it?"

Feng An was not angry, nor was he terrified by it, instead he said dumbfounded: "Although I have lived in Jiaozhou for a long time, when it comes to managing Jiaozhou, this is all I can think of, what should I say if I don't say these things?
You can't face His Highness and ask about policy without saying a word, right? "

Ren Gui made fun of herself, and after snorting heavily, she didn't want to talk anymore.

Chen Shuda took Feng An's words and said: "Duke Geng has lived in Jiaozhou for a long time, so you can't prevaricate His Highness with such old-fashioned things?"

Li Yuanji echoed it to save face, "It's also..."

The smile on Feng An's face became a little stiff in an instant, knowing that it would be impossible if he didn't pour out some dry goods, he immediately said: "Besides this, there are other ways."

Chen Shuda immediately put on a posture of asking for advice, and waited for Feng An's next words.

Feng An hesitated for a moment, and said a little ashamedly: "In fact, among the hundred barbarians in Jiaozhou, many tribes are headed by women. If we can support them and form marriages with them, it should make them happy in a short time. To the Han Dynasty, and use this to gather a group of barbarians.

Then, if we practice enlightenment among these barbarians, we should achieve some success. "

As soon as Feng An's words came out of his mouth, several people present understood why Feng An was ashamed to speak.

Because that's what his grandfather Feng Bao did when he was sent to serve in Jiaozhou.

And the effect is very good.

Thanks to the joint efforts of his grandfather, his grandmother, his father, and him, some of the slangs have been completely sinicized, and the rest of the slangs have either joined their Feng clan and followed the lead of the Lady Xian clan. The footsteps continued to be Sinicized, or they switched to other barbarians and became people of other barbarians.

It can be said that in Jiaozhou now, the slang tribe controlled by the Feng family is the largest slang tribe in Jiaozhou. If the "deep cultivation" continues, it may not be long before it will become the only slang tribe.

If the Tang Dynasty can further manage Jiaozhou and thoroughly promote Sinicization in Jiaozhou, then after a few decades, there may be no such thing as slang, and some will only be a branch of the Han people.

If Datang followed Feng's practice in Jiaozhou, recruited wealthy chieftains, intermarried with them, and then used this to Sinicize them, then after two or three generations, it should be effective.

Unfortunately, this time is too long.

Perhaps Chen Shuda and Ren Gui would not care, and would even be happy that future generations can find a career that can last for two or three generations.

But Li Yuanji couldn't help but care.

He can't wait for two or three generations, and he doesn't want to wait for two or three generations.

So when Chen Shuda was about to admit Feng An's statement, Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "Although this method is good, it takes too long. Is there a more convenient method?"

Feng An froze for a moment, his face full of astonishment.

Doesn't Li Yuanji negate the efforts of three generations by saying this?

If there are other convenient ways, wouldn't the perseverance shown by their three generations in this matter look stupid?
Both Chen Shuda and Ren Gui felt that His Royal Highness King Yong seemed a little anxious, and after looking at each other, they were ready to warn.

Datang wants to promote Sinicization in Jiaozhou, and turn Jiaozhou's hundred barbarians from barbarians to Han. It will take decades or even hundreds of years to complete the feat, and it cannot be done overnight.

After all, Datang is tantamount to assimilating a nation with hundreds of thousands of households and millions of people through less bloody means.

The difficulties you will encounter must be calculated in hundreds and thousands, and cannot be solved in a few words, you have to work hard.

So if you are too hasty, it will definitely not work.

"Your Highness..."

Chen Shuda cupped his hands and prepared to exhort him.

It's just that before the words were spoken, Li Yuanji blocked them back.

Li Yuanji waved his hands and said, "I know the truth that haste makes waste, but I, Datang, don't have so much time to keep staring at Jiaozhou."

There are too many things that Datang needs to do, and there are not a few things that are more important than Jiaozhou.

It is impossible for Datang to devote too much energy to staring at Jiaozhou.

The place where Datang wants to manage is far more than just Jiaozhou.

Therefore, the problem in Jiaozhou must be solved in a quick way, instead of hard work, desperate efforts, and the efforts of several generations to solve it.

"So I need a more convenient way!"

Li Yuanji stared at Chen Shuda, Ren Gui and Feng An and said.

Chen Shuda knew that Datang still had many problems waiting to be solved, and he really couldn't waste his time on Jiaozhou, so he hesitated and didn't say much.

Ren Gui also knew this truth, so she didn't say much, but frowned and thought about a solution.

Feng An understood the current situation of Datang, but he didn't have a deep understanding of the future of Datang and the problems to be solved in the future, so he didn't say a word like Chen Shuda and Ren Gui.

"Your Highness, the problem in Kejiaozhou cannot be solved quickly, it must be done hard."

Li Yuanji nodded, expressing his approval of Feng An's statement, but still asked: "So do you have any other more convenient methods?"

As soon as Feng An heard this, he knew that Li Yuanji had made up his mind, and it was useless for him to persuade him, so he could only sigh a long time, shook his head and said, "Besides this, I have no other choice. "

It's not that there is no way, if the imperial court is willing to spend a lot of money and send millions of troops to plow the thousands of mountains and ridges in Jiaozhou, drive out all the barbarians in the mountains, let them gather together, and violently Sinicize them, That would allow Jiaozhou to be sinicized in a short period of time.

But the price to pay is too great, and there are too many variables that will appear.

Unless the court is crazy, it is impossible to spend such a large amount of money.

With millions of troops, the imperial court can sweep the Eastern and Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Goguryeo, Baekje, and even more distant places, so why should they stare at the one-acre land in Jiaozhou?

"You said, how about sending merchants to the mountains to collect all kinds of mountain goods, attracting barbarians down the mountain, and then Sinicizing them?"

Since Feng An had no choice, Li Yuanji expressed his thoughts.

The idea was inspired by posterity.

Use the method of taking the initiative to collect mountain goods to first spawn a group of rich barbarians, and then encourage more barbarians to "go to sea", and then let these rich barbarians set up the most primitive handicraft workshops, attract barbarians to go down the mountain to work, and give barbarians better treatment , Let them settle down at the foot of the mountain, and finally use this to take out the young people in the barbarian villages.

When the barbarians came to their senses, they had already adapted to the life of the Han people, and if they were asked to go back to the mountains, they probably would not agree to it.

As for the old people in the barbarian villages, it is better to take them down the mountain when the time is right. If they want to stick to the barbarian villages and die of old age, then let them go.

Of course, the methods of later generations may not be suitable for the soil of Datang, so we have to constantly make changes according to the specific situation.

What Li Yuanji can think of at the moment is to increase the knowledge of the barbarians through the mouths of the merchants, so that the barbarians are full of yearning for life at the foot of the mountain, and then bribe the barbarian leaders to conscript labor from the barbarian villages and let them go to various places. Increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons.

When their vision is high and their spirits are high, they will never go back to the village again.

At that time, they will find a way to stay without the court saying.

At that time, the imperial court will be able to Sinicize them smoothly.

This is also a long-term process that will take some time, but if we brainstorm, collect more methods, and use a multi-pronged approach, the time required will be short.
