The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 243 Huo Zhongru’s search for relatives

Outside the south gate of Chang'an.

The sky was gloomy, the wind was biting, and the scenery was bleak.

The team of hundreds of envoys brought by Zhengxi had already left the south gate of Chang'an and returned to the tribes in southern Xinjiang.

She turned back silently and looked at the majestic Chang'an City with a complicated expression in her eyes.

Compared with the poverty in southern Xinjiang, Chang'an is too prosperous. The people here are very happy, live and work in peace and contentment, and the merchants and farmers are prosperous.

The Central Plains has been in war for many years, but they have never stopped developing.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was undoubtedly a great emperor. He brought the Han Dynasty to unprecedented heights.

This was the reason why she didn't dare to resist no matter how Wei Ning bullied them.

The Luoyue people were able to unify the tribes in southern Xinjiang, but they were unable to resist the might of the Han Dynasty. They could not withstand the wrath of the Han Dynasty.

If the Han Dynasty sends troops to southern Xinjiang, they will have no ability to resist.

At the same time, Zhengxi looked at the crowd suspiciously. Wei Ning's words were still swirling in her mind. Someone wanted to kill her?

Who is it?

Who revealed his identity?

Namji also looked extremely confused at this time.

Didn't his people bring the news to Weining?

Why did they take no action despite telling him Zheng Xi's identity?

Seeing Zhengxi looking at him, Namji dodged with a guilty conscience.

……

After Wei Ning returned to the Hou Mansion, he summoned Tian Qianqiu and Li Qi at the same time.

He assigned them the high positions of Southern Xinjiang Governor and Southern Xinjiang Governor respectively. One was responsible for civil affairs and the other was responsible for military power.

Weining planned to mobilize 10,000 well-equipped soldiers from Lingnan and give them all to Li Qi to take with him to garrison in southern Xinjiang.

He told Li Qidao: "When you get there, train the army well and don't neglect it."

Li Qi clasped his fists and nodded heavily: "Here!"

Weining had promoted him, and now he had entrusted him with such a difficult task and increased his salary. How could he not shed tears of gratitude?

After Li Qi left, Weining said to Tian Qianqiu: "Three goals."

"Promote water conservancy, teach farming and mulberry cultivation, and provide education."

These are the three goals Weining gave Tian Qianqiu to govern southern Xinjiang.

He wants to build Southern Xinjiang into a large food province, and let Southern Xinjiang serve as the center of hematopoiesis and continuously feed back the Han Dynasty.

The prosperity of southern Xinjiang can drive the economic development of the entire south and realize the comprehensive relocation of the Han national finance and taxation to the south.

The vitality of the south is destined to be stronger than that of the north, its population is no less than that of the north, and its business potential is even greater!

Weining's goals are huge and may not be realized in the short term. It will take five, ten or even more years. He gave a general outline for the development of the south, and he will slowly manage it later.

Even if he dies or Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dies in the future, as long as Xiao Gui and Cao follow, the development of the south will be guaranteed to support the north.

It's just that Tian Qianqiu can't understand Weining's strategic intentions.

He could understand the development of water conservancy and the cultivation of mulberry trees, so that the agricultural economic development of the people in southern Xinjiang could feed the entire Han Empire.

But what is going on in education?

He cannot understand and makes the people ignorant. Wouldn't it be better to govern?

Wei Ning thought for a while and then asked Tian Qianqiu: "You said that the history of human development is originally messy and disorderly. By the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were still human sacrifices, and even consanguineous marriages, and the unethical practice of father-daughter marriage. Act of."

"Today, these things still exist among the Huns and some ethnic minorities. Why are they still doing these things that subvert our cognition?" Tian Qianqiu said: "Because they have not received the baptism of etiquette and morality, these uncivilized things How do barbarians know so much?"

"When I ran out of food, I knew how to grab it. I never thought about being self-sufficient."

Although Tian Qianqiu came from a poor family, he was also a down-and-out noble and had received a good education before.

"We have developed to a certain level of civilization, but they still drink blood. We already have a management system, but they are still led by tribes."

Wei Ning gave a thumbs up and said, "You answered very well."

"The people of Southern Xinjiang are also led by tribes of different sizes."

"If we tame them to be like the Han people, knowing moral etiquette and ethics, then they will fully agree with our Han people's ideas and adapt to our management model and national culture."

"In the next ten or a hundred years, they will be no different from the Han people. Will they still take measures to disobey the management and hate the Han people?"

To put it simply, Weining is using educational knowledge to understand ethics, etiquette and morals to assimilate them.

The Han people have many ethnic groups. If they want to be unified, blind suppression will only be counterproductive. As long as everyone is one family and has the same ideas, concepts, and ideologies.

Wouldn’t it be much simpler to manage?

A hundred years later, the ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang will no longer harm the Central Plains Dynasty.

After hearing what Weining said, Tian Qianqiu's eyes suddenly widened. This was a great path that he had never thought of!

Maybe you won’t think how great it is over time, or even see the results, but what about the future?

Tian Qianqiu took a breath, shocked by Weining's overall view, shocked by Weining's grand layout!

Wei Ning said: "When I find an opportunity, I will bring a group of great scholars from Shandong to southern Xinjiang."

These guys can only make trouble in the Central Plains. Since they want to promote culture, they should go to southern Xinjiang to preach and realize the great revival of their Confucian master.

It can be considered a great merit.

Weining also knows that education requires money. Now that Southern Xinjiang does not have the ability, he can only let Tian Qianqiu find a way to solve it on his own.

One person spreads it to ten people, and ten people spread it to hundreds. Start with one person and ten people, and then spread it to hundreds and thousands of people.

As for what method to use, Tian Qianqiu needs to consider it himself. Weining cannot give specific instructions. Tian Qianqiu still needs to adapt to local conditions and deal with the situation.

He just gave Tian Qianqiu a general direction and told him what southern Xinjiang would look like in the future.

Tian Qianqiu clasped his fists deeply. He was completely conquered by Weining. He knew that the gap between him and Weining was too big, and he was filled with emotion and excitement.

He felt that he had followed the right person and solemnly promised Wei Ning that he would definitely do something great in southern Xinjiang and would not embarrass Weining.

Wei Ning patted Tian Qianqiu's shoulder and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me. This is an opportunity in your life, so seize it."

Tian Qianqiu felt that Wei Ning was becoming more and more like a character. He seemed to have heard this from some elders and senior officials in the family...

Tian Qianqiu and Li Qi left one after another to prepare and will leave for southern Xinjiang before the new year this year.

After arranging everything, Wei Ning put on his big cloak and went out, heading towards Weiyang Palace.

On the way, Wei Ning happened to pass by Huo Qubing's mansion and found an old man and a young man standing in front of Huo Qubing's door, waiting hard.

Wei Ning didn't pay attention at first, but then he saw the Huo family's servants coming out to chase away the old man and the young man, using rough words that seemed to be insulting.

Wei Ning couldn't help but walked over curiously and asked, "What's the matter?"

The servant of the Huo Mansion naturally knew Wei Ning and said, "Master Wei, please tell me inside."

Wei Ning glanced at the old man and the young man standing outside Huo's house, and asked the servant: "Who are they?"

The servant said: "Master Huo Hou's father."

Wei Ning: "..."
