When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Xin Qu stayed in Liaoyang for half a month and also met with some people from the Sushen tribe of Yan State who were friendly to them from Liaoyang.

These Sushen tribes all like white clothes. Of course, some of them can't help but feel envious when they see Xinqu and his people wearing gorgeous clothes.

But Xin Qu did not give them anything as a gift.

After all, in his words, the fishing and hunting tribes on the Northeast Plains were also influenced by the nomadic tribes from the grasslands, and thus, in their bones, they showed a fundamental mentality of judging people by their appearance and despising the weak, which was the survival of the fittest.

In other words, they are humble and submissive to the strong, but will abandon or even bully the weak without hesitation.

Therefore, in the Northeast, if you want to continue to gain benefits, you must first show your fighting power to the outside world, secondly, have someone behind you, and finally your morality and gifts.

This trend of thought has been poisoning people for thousands of years.

Even in later generations, people from the Northeast would flaunt their appearance, wearing gold and silver jewelry, sable fur coats, and making a lot of noise.

This is showing your financial strength. In a money-based society, financial strength is a form of combat effectiveness.

After that, he becomes a background board with the help of others, thus demonstrating his power.

Finally, it comes to personal quality.

This is a social culture shaped by the deep-rooted geographical environment.

The fact that investments do not go beyond Shanhaiguan is also an emotional influence caused by the geographical environment.

Xinqu had this realization because he had carefully understood the attitude of the Sushen tribe in the past few days.

Basically, all the tribes that had been beaten by Yelu Dagu, the doctor from Liaoyang, respected him as the leader of the Yan State.

But there were still some who expressed dissatisfaction with his appearance after the communication ended.

Yelu Dagu had seen off many Sushen nobles and heard their complaints and dissatisfaction, which gave him a headache. He said to Xinqu, "You can give them some rewards."

"Reward?" Xin Qu laughed when he heard this, "In a semi-enclosed plain like the Northeast Plain, in an era when iron tools were not widely used, the means of production were, in a sense, a wild and desolate place with scarce resources.

Giving them rewards will not make them feel grateful to you. On the contrary, it will only make them think that these are the benefits that originally belonged to them. "

"We can't just do nothing, can we?" Yelu Dagu said with a headache, "These people are all talking nonsense to me, saying that you summoned them, said a few words, asked a few questions, and then asked them to go back and prepare slaves. The population of Northeast China is so small, where can you ask them to get slaves for you?"

"If we can't get them, we can use their people to make up for it." Xin Qu shook his head and said, "Also, you have to understand clearly why we came to the Northeast. You were granted a fief here by the clan, and there are enemies everywhere. Their submission to you now does not mean that they will submit to Chu and your other descendants in the future.

The State of Yan may not always remain strong.

Therefore, rather than waiting for something to happen in the future, we should take advantage of our current rising period and strong strength to start developing Liaodong in advance.

If these Sushen people are disobedient, you can crush them; if they are obedient, you can gradually lead them inward.

Now that the policy of garrison has been decided, the Sushen people in the northeast can also be included in it, and then diluted after continuing to migrate south.

Otherwise, if we continue to be in the geopolitical environment of the Northeast, I don’t think that this land will be able to share the same mindset with us three hundred years later.

You know, my capital is Peking, which is a place of war.

The biggest enemies are mainly two forces.

Nomadism in the north and fishing and hunting in the northeast.

There cannot be any foreigners in the Northeast, and even if there are, they must be assimilated.”

"So this is your idea." Yelu Dagu understood. "Isn't it just to bully them and then raid them from time to time? This is very simple..."

"It's not easy." Xin Qu shook his head and said, "Next I will send you a batch of additional iron tools and the method of polder cultivation. The thousand-mile Liaoze Lake may be a risk for other tribes, but for us, it is an excellent piece of arable land.

No matter how slowly Peking develops, it will inevitably be overpopulated within fifty years.

At that time, it will be necessary to increase food imports from all directions.

The vast plains in the northeast and the water source of Liaoze can open up a lot of arable land, so it can provide a lot of food. In addition, there is the Huludao land reclamation project, which I have already ordered to start.

One third of the river waste soil sorted out by Peking this time has been transported to Huludao. In addition, the collapse of the Yanghe cofferdam has caused a large amount of soil to accumulate here. With another three years of construction, Huludao will be completely connected to the mainland.

Then, the waste soil and silt excavated from abandoned buildings along the Huludao stronghold will be gradually reclaimed, and the Liaoxi Corridor will be formed in at most 30 years.

After the Liaoxi Corridor is formed, the development of Liaoze will be put on the agenda.

Therefore, your task for the next thirty years is to survey Liaoze and all places upstream of it. When the time is right, if I am still alive, I will mobilize large-scale troops and settle in the Northeast.

After all, a new batch of children are going to the battlefield, and they need new clan titles and space for development.

Northeast China will be the best backup for the new generation.”

"Huh...Are you planning to go south? Or..."

"We have to grab both hands and make both hands strong. No one will complain about having too much territory." Xin Qu said directly without any nonsense, "Besides, the Shang clan is still very powerful now. Even if I intervene in the internal disputes of the Shang clan, it will not be so easy to disintegrate them.

If it were so easy to kill them, the Shang clan would have been destroyed hundreds of times.

In short, start with the easy and then move on to the difficult.

You should make the most of it while you are still able to work and pave the way for your children and grandchildren."

The two chatted for a while and decided on the strategy. Xin Qu said goodbye and went back on the third day.

Afterwards, Yelu Dagu sent troops.

Destroy all of Cricket Xinqu's tribe.

As for the reasons, there are many complaints about Beibo's policies.

It's just so unreasonable.

But it did not scare away the Sushen people. Instead, the Wimeng people in the Changbai Mountain area also came down the mountain and started trading slaves with them.

The reason given is very simple, because you are very strong, you are reasonable when you beat people up, and you just do business and don't bother me with other things.

The next step is to join your trade alliance, and I can also get political protection.

If my rule is overthrown, I can appeal to the government and you can help me restore my power. If you can't restore it, you can send me to live in the south.

This means that hundreds of tribes, large and small, within a range of more than 300 miles north of Liaoze were brought under the rule of Yelu Dagu.

This made Yelu Dagu's power unprecedentedly strong, but it also caused more forces to fall into internal strife.

Because if you want to live a good life, you need slaves.

The State of Yan wanted to buy slaves by exchanging them for food, salt, copper coins, and even other luxury goods.

Money can move people's hearts, and the interests made these tribal nobles begin to develop towards a military aristocracy system.

The primitive military aristocratic tribes gradually formed the prototype of a state through marriage and war.

For a time, the Guzhu tribe in the northeast was squeezed into the Tongliao area for nomadic life, and some even began to appear in the northern foothills of Yanshan Mountain.

In the following months, except for the northeast and northwest, Yan State fell into a rare period of stability.

Especially in Peking, the Haihe River basin that runs through Peking has finally seen the widening and dredging of the main road along the entire route.

The main channel of the Beiping River basin along the line of Changping, Beiping, Tongxian, Wuqing and Tianjin was successfully completed.

Named - Haihe River. (End of this chapter)
