Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

The distribution of Qiang people is very wide, not only in Shanzhou, but also in Hexi and Tuyuhun areas, there are a large number of Qiang tribes.

In addition to the Qiang people, there were also other ethnic groups such as Xianbei people and Tubo people in the Tuyuhun area.

In the Longyou area, alien races are always a topic.

An urgent report from Beiting also put the same question in front of Li Yan.

How to manage the alien races on the border is a problem that all Central Plains dynasties have to face.

The situation in Longyou is more complicated, and this is what Li Yan needs to solve.

"Your Highness, these are official documents from Jiuquan, Zhangye and Wuwei." Liu Yan held a stack of official documents and moved them to Li Yan's case.

These official documents were all sent by the players through the system. Li Yan set up a "recording room" organization in the palace, and specialized players would transcribe these official documents into documents.

Although Liu Yan and Yang Yan were also very puzzled, why Longyou's official document was delivered so quickly.

They can only attribute it to the well-developed station system in Longyou.

Li Yan rubbed his eyes. This time, the one who was in trouble was Cao Lingzhong, who had just become a full-time member of Beiting Protectorate Mansion. He suddenly rode to Longyou to join him. Cao Lingzhong didn't dare to be self-reliant, so he asked the governor of Longyou, King Jianning.

After Liu Yan traveled around Xizhou, he happened to meet King Jianning who was touring Longyou.

Li Yan, who had seen Liu Yan's name in "New Book of Tang", conscripted this celebrity with supernatural powers to the governor's mansion.

Liu Yan's position is the secretary office of the Governor's Mansion in Longyou, and what he does is secretarial work.

Although the secretary is the lowest-level civil servant in the Dudu Mansion, he can be regarded as a humble and powerful person if he can often get in touch with King Jianning.

Putting down the official document in his hand, Li Yan felt a little headache.

He said to Liu Yan: "Shi'an, read these letters."

Liu Yan opened the official documents, which were all official documents sent by the governor's mansion stationed in various places.

Cui Tao, Zeng Mu, Xue Hu, and other officials at the Zhizhou level all expressed their views on the naturalization of Tushi cavalry.

After reading it, Liu Yan, like Li Yan, felt his head was like a paste.

It's not that the letters written by the three Zhizhou prefects are so obscure and difficult to understand. Their writing is simple and straightforward, not the four or six parallel essays of the official documents of the imperial court.

The pros and cons of various programs, and how to implement them, are written in great detail.

Liu Yan knew that this was a new form of official document that became popular in Longyou.

Because this kind of Wengong is not the four or six parallel prose commonly used by the Tang court, but more like the prose of the pre-Qin period.

Therefore, this kind of official document reform is also called the ancient prose movement, corresponding to the parallel prose that has been widely used in the court since the Han Dynasty, that is, the modern text.

If you ask Liu Yan whether he supports the ancient prose movement, he certainly supports it.

Although the four-six parallel prose is catchy, the antithesis is neat, and a good official document sounds majestic.

But not everyone in the imperial court is a great writer, and many officials have a low level of education.

In order to understand the official documents of the imperial court, some military generals of Zhang Yu also brought a scholar by their side.

Moreover, the court's decrees are all proclaimed in parallel prose, and the common people can't understand or understand them at all.

Some unscrupulous officials will deliberately misinterpret the imperial court's orders and use this method to exploit the people.

Therefore, Liu Yan was very supportive of the "Ancient Prose Movement" that arose in Longyou.

However, the letters written by these three magistrates are simpler and clearer than the ancient prose of the pre-Qin period. They used a lot of charts and figures to verify their conclusions.

The more Liu Yan looked at it, the more frightened he felt.

Liu Yan's family is also a family of officials and officials, and he debuted as a child prodigy appointed by the emperor, and has met many important people.

But in terms of knowledge and ability, these three Zhizhou under the command of King Jianning really far surpassed everyone he has ever seen!

Where did King Jianning find these monsters?
Moreover, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is also inside the Longyou Governor's Mansion!

Jiang Lun, the boss of Liu Yan's friend Yang Yan, was regarded by Yang Yan as someone like Guan Zhong, Sang Hongyang, and he wished to worship Jiang Lun.

The headache for Li Yan and Liu Yan was not that they didn't come up with a plan.

Moreover, their plans can be implemented, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

But Liu Yan is worthy of being a child prodigy, he quickly sorted out the content of the three letters and cleared his mind.

Li Yan asked: "Shi'an, what are you going to do with the sudden Shiqi?"

Liu Yan sorted out his thoughts again, and said cautiously:
"Yan boldly summed up the plans proposed by the three prefects."

Li Yan said quickly: "Tell me quickly."

Liu Yan sorted out his thoughts while talking: "Xue Zhizhou's method is the method of 'using the barbarians to control the barbarians' mentioned in Jia Yi's security policy in the Han Dynasty."

Li Yan nodded, Xue Hu, the magistrate of Liangzhou, decided to keep the Tushi cavalry who took the initiative to keep them in a semi-independent state.

If Longyou needs to use troops against the Uighurs or the Western Regions in the future, these Hu people can be recruited to fight.

Liu Yan said: "However Xue Zhizhou also made it very clear that the Western Han Dynasty was powerful and the method of using barbarians to control barbarians was easy to use. These Hu people who belonged to them could be controlled in the border areas and help the Han Dynasty resist foreign invaders. , the reason why there has been no border troubles for hundreds of years.”

"However, it was out of date for the Eastern Han Dynasty to use this method again. The Eastern Han Dynasty used the attached Qiang people to guard the frontier, but lacked the military power to deter the Qiang people. In the end, the Qiang rebellion in the northwest extended to Guanzhong, and the Qiang rebellion in Yongming even caused disasters for 40 years. .”

Li Yan nodded, using the barbarians to control the barbarians, that is, canonize Tu Shiqi as the attached tribe.

Then when encountering other border troubles, he recruited Tushi cavalry to fight other barbarians.

This method can be said to be simple and direct. The Central Plains Dynasty has played an old trick for hundreds of years.

Li Yan nodded. Although this trick is an old one, the commonly used ones are often good ones.

It's a good way to accept Tu Shiqi's internal attachment and let them stay where they are, and accept Longyou's recruitment in the future.

Liu Yan continued: "Zeng Zhizhou's method is to immigrate to the frontier, and this is also a common strategy of Taizong."

"Zeng Zhizhou's letter listed in detail the number of people who have fled famine and entered Longyou."

"According to Zeng Zhizhou's calculations, if the rate of population inflow is maintained, there will be no new land to grant in Longyou in less than two years."

"Even though the number of people entering workshops has increased, there are still very few people who are willing to give up granting land."

Li Yan nodded, this is the unique attachment to the land of Chinese people.

Even if Li Yan develops industries in Longyou, land is still something that officials and refugees aspire to.

However, the stable life has also caused the population of Longyou to increase explosively. Although Zeng Mu's estimation is not rigorous, the general trend is definitely correct.

Liu Yan said: "Zeng Zhizhou believes that people can be relocated to the Tushiqi area, and those who are willing to go to Tushiqi, the Dudu Mansion will bear the travel expenses and expenses along the way, and can grant more land."

"It only takes one generation, and the Tushiqi area, like Xizhou, has become the territory of the Tang Dynasty 'since ancient times'."

Li Yan asked: "You said this is a common method used by Emperor Taizong?"

Liu Yan said: "Emperor Taizong took the land of Hexi by moving Sanfu and the people of Kansai to the frontier. Later, when he conquered Gaochang Kingdom, he also enriched Gaochang Kingdom with Hexi Han people."

It turns out that this is the method that has passed the test of the ancestors.

Liu Yan said: "The method of strengthening the frontier is slow to take effect, but the effect is good. The disadvantage is that it will cause conflicts between the Han people and the Tushi cavalry. Maybe the Tushi cavalry will rebel repeatedly."

Li Yan nodded, and Zeng Mu also listed this shortcoming.

The Han people moved to the side of Tushi cavalry, and the Tushi cavalry who had already lived in this land would definitely feel threatened.

The Han people who moved to the frontier will definitely compete for resources with the Tushi cavalry who originally lived here.

The result of this must be that the hatred between the Tushi cavalry and the Han people is growing, and sooner or later they will rebel again.

Li Yan pinched his temples, and he still had such a headache even though the sudden Shi Qiren was a surrender.

Liu Yan continued: "Cui Zhizhou's method goes a step further. He named it 'Gaijiuguiliu'. The name is really appropriate!"

"Cui Zhizhou suggested that His Royal Highness take the Khan who rode suddenly and the leaders of the tribes to Shazhou to take care of them."

"The Tushi riders remained where they were, and the Governor's Mansion dispatched officials to establish the Tang system in the Tushi rider area."

"Then send academic officials to set up Sinology in the Tushiqi area, so that the Tushiqi people can be Sinicized and become Tang people like the Qiang people in Hexi."

"Yan thinks that Cui Zhizhou is the best policy!"

"but..."

Li Yan asked: "But what?"

Liu Yan said: "The best policy is the best policy, but it is very difficult to change the chieftain and return to the stream."

"It's easy to migrate the Tushi cavalry chiefs into Shazhou. After all, the Tushi cavalry chiefs are willing to surrender."

"But it's not easy to change the chieftain to return to the tribe in the Tushiqi area."

"If the ruler is lenient, the Tushi cavalry will not learn Sinology and will still live in the grass. The Dudu government will spend manpower and material resources, but it will not be able to make the Tushi cavalry return to their hearts."

"If the rulers are strict, the people in the picture will think that His Highness is oppressing them. If someone raises their arms and shouts, the sudden Shiqi will turn against them again."

"The ruler must be lenient and strict in order to carry out the policy of changing chieftains and returning them!"

Li Yan nodded. The Qing government implemented the "reform of the land and return it to the people", and it used Ertai, a powerful general in Yongzheng.

Ertai Neng Wen Neng Wu also used the method of suppression and appeasement at the same time. First, they eliminated several chieftains in Yunnan and Guizhou who took the lead in resisting.

Then, they continued to support the remaining chieftains to ensure their wealth, and then promoted the reform of the land to the local chieftains, allowing them to surrender their power and accept the management of the officials of the Qing Dynasty.

Although Li Yan doesn't like braid dramas, reforming the native land and returning to the local people did solve the problem of the chieftains of Yunnan and Guizhou that had plagued the Central Plains for thousands of years.

After all, he is still a talent!
Cui Tao is now in Zhangye, and he really can't spare himself to ride suddenly.

Among the remaining players, I don't know if there are any players who can carry out reforms.

Li Yan finally understood how proud his ancestor Li Shimin was when he saw the candidates for the imperial examination, "the world's talents enter the urn".

Longyou urgently needs talents who can govern one side!
