Chapter 648
Xie Xun also knew that the living environment of the northern barbarians was harsh. If Beining was so icy and snowy and it was difficult to survive, he would take the people to find a new home.This is survival instinct, and this is the fundamental reason why the Northern Barbarians and Beining have been fighting for so many years. Generations of Northern Barbarian kings have wanted to invade Beining and successfully occupied this beautiful land.

Lin Heli said, "The return of the Northern Barbarians is only one step away. The Northern Barbarians know that it is different from the Yuwen Dynasty now, and we will definitely expand our territory after we recuperate. Although that land is not suitable for survival, it has many rich mineral resources. Dugu Jing The willingness to surrender is not high, but the Northern Barbarian King is different. Two of his princes died of severe cold this year, so migration is inevitable. Now they are worried about how the two tribes will coexist peacefully after migrating. If they settle in Ningzhou Absolutely not, the hatred is too deep, but if you move to the south, the northern barbarians are not suitable and need to adapt to the life style of the southern people. It is best to move to the Twelve States. There are several large cities in the Twelve States that are underpopulated, which just divides them. To the Twelve States.”

Xie Xun frowned and pondered for a moment, "After all, the customs and habits of the northern barbarians are different from ours. There are still millions of people left. Is it better to centralize and manage them properly, or to disperse them to twelve states?"

Lin Heli and Xie Jue have also been thinking about this problem. These million people are actually equivalent to the population of Yangzhou City, except that the Northern Barbarian sergeants account for a larger proportion.If they were placed in a city, they would have to be managed by the northern barbarians. It would be difficult for the state capital of Beining to suppress them.

But if they are put together in the fiefdom, millions of Northern Barbarians will support themselves, and the fiefdom will lose control. How to resettle the Northern Barbarian people is indeed a big problem.

This is why the high priest must go to Ningzhou.

Ningzhou is the most suitable for the survival of northern barbarians.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Lin Heli asked Xie Jue, who knew the Northern Barbarians best.

"The Northern Barbarians are refractory by nature. Even if they surrender, they still have a very rigid sense of territoriality and xenophobia. If they are concentrated in a city, there will be chaos and decentralized management is needed. However, the conflicts caused by decentralized management will be very frequent and very challenging. The management capabilities of the local state capital. So, how about we really resettle the Northern Barbarians and divide them into twelve states, and the Ningzhou cavalry are also dispersed and stationed. The military generals will be transferred to civilian officials, and the local state government staff will assist them and manage them together. "

Lin Heli had the same idea as him. In this way, at least the northern barbarians would be in chaos, and Zhongzhou would still be a barrier. There would indeed be conflicts at the beginning.But after a few decades, the Northern Barbarians will be assimilated into Beining and should be easy to manage. But the problem is, the Twelve Prefectures have deep grievances with the Northern Barbarians. How can we appease the local people?
Xie Xun also felt that it was unfair, "Why are they all placed in the Twelve States? They are a group of bandits. Let the Twelve States bear all the responsibility. If I were a commoner in the Twelve States, I would definitely not be happy."

"What do you want?" Xie Jue asked.

"The imperial court must provide compensation." Xie Xun said, "Otherwise, they are all from Beining, so why should they be the ones suffering? The Beibei people are tough and powerful. Aren't the local people going to be bullied?"

"They won't be able to adapt to Jiangnan!"

"Whatever, they are surrendering, not here to enjoy the blessings. If they don't adapt, they will be adapted to me. All the north and south will be dispersed, so that they will not be concentrated in the Twelve States and easily gather people to rebel." Xie Xun was very fond of the Twelve States. Feelings, "Move all their royal family to Kyoto. As for Kyoto, put Yilingzhuang and Gaoping Town within the scope of Kyoto. It will be easier for the emperor to manage, and set an example."

"They will definitely refuse!" Zhang Boju knew that the Northern Barbarians would not agree without thinking. "Why, Kyoto is the most prosperous place in Beining. What are they not happy about, and no one is confining them." Xie Xun listened to their discussion, and the discussion found that resettling the northern barbarians was indeed a headache, regardless of where they were placed. Wherever the northern barbarians are definitely not welcome, there will definitely be conflicts.

And they cannot be concentrated in one city to avoid rebellion.

Lin Heli seemed to be waiting for Xie Xun to speak out, "If the royal family comes to Kyoto, then the emperor will accept the Northern Barbarian princess as his concubine. Are you willing?"

Xie Xun, "..."

Xie Xun came back to his senses and blurted out, "Cousin, you didn't want the Northern Barbarian royal family to settle in Kyoto from the beginning, and are you just waiting here for me to fall into your trap?"

"I don't dare, the emperor is overthinking."

Xie Xun felt that he didn't think much about it at all, and couldn't help but look at Xie Jue, hoping that his second brother could come to the rescue. Xie Jue held the tea and remained silent.

Lin Heli said, "It's not necessarily the case that we will get a concubine this year."

"The queen is weak and mentally sensitive."

Lin Heli said, "The Northern Barbarian princess is only 15 years old. She can be made a concubine after two or three years."

"The queen holds the economic lifeline of Beining. If she loses her money and the household department is poor, can my cousin fill the hole?" Xie Xun asked quietly.
