Liaodong Chapter 3

A few days after Hurun entered the town, Liu Qun took the time to meet him in a hurry. This time, both sides were a little surprised.

Liu Qun's surprise was mainly focused on Hurun's appearance. Although the Liao area is remote, it has also influenced the accumulated problems of judging people by its appearance. For example, the overlord of Liaodong, Murong, many of them are famous for their majestic appearance and handsomeness.

Hu Run was originally just a pretty good person. After being blindly disfigured, no matter how he dressed up, he showed a sense of evil spirit. Even if he was ignorant, he could not say that he had any advantages in appearance.

According to the "Wu Li", in the old year, after Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, was injured, he led himself to look at him and said to his left and right: "In this case, can we still make achievements again?" He pushed several great struggles, and the creation was divided, and he died at night.

Xiahou Dun of Cao Wei followed Lu Bu and was injured in his eyes because of the scattered arrows. Since then, he has hated looking in the mirror and even more disgusted with the blind Xiahou who was called him at that time.

Therefore, after meeting and contact, many people from Liu Qun's subordinates criticized Hu Run's appearance and spoke indecently, but Liu Qun scolded seriously: "A real man can achieve success and achieve success, but his appearance is worthy. Governor Hu was fortunate to follow the emperor, and he did not abandon his grace because of his small bad habits. He was able to use the power of the governor to repay the emperor. This is not only the honor of Governor Hu, but also the basis for the ugliness of the Liao border to dare to recommend himself. What people are destroyed is not only the appearance, but the sages in heaven are only talented and use them in a non-constrained manner, which also makes the wise and unparalleled. "

Liu Qun's words did hit these people in their hearts and worries. In the past, they had done some things to make temporary choices in order to survive, but they were really not innocent. Now, even if they were moved by the general trend of the revival of the summer, they could not help but hesitate when they thought of their bad deeds in the past year. Some people even dared not to face the Luosi.

Hu Run didn't know his appearance, but gave these people from Liaobian a dose of peace of mind, but even if he knew, he was just a laugh.

However, Hu Run was quite surprised when he left the sky. Earlier, Hu Run also came to the door to ask Cui Lu and others who came back to the south to ask for advice on the Liao border. These two people might make brilliant statements, but they mostly lost their grand and mysterious statements. When they were carefully judging, they were empty and had little to do with actual problems.

So much so that after leaving, Hu Run couldn't help but sigh: "These two are beautiful jades in the past in the past. Although they are pure and noble, they are not hungry. If Liu Kun uses these talents, they may be romantic in prosperous times, how can they not be fish in troubled times?"

It is precisely based on this understanding that Hu Run did not have too high expectations for Liu Qun who was still in the Liao border. It was under his suggestion that the Luoyang court decided to divide the territory between Youzhou and Pingzhou. After Liu Qun took office in Youzhou, he would no longer directly interfere in the Liao border matters.

However, after getting in touch with him, Hu Run discovered that Liu Qun was not a famous family who was good at talking big in general. Some of the suggestions put forward for Liao border affairs were based on reality and could give Hu Run a great inspiration.

For example, when it comes to the issue of pampering and protecting Liao Bianliu people, Hurun originally meant that it needed to investigate the territory. Generally, when it was found that the tribes of the Donghu Yi were imprisoned or even enslaved, and abused Liao Bianliu people, they would be punished severely, so that Liao Bianliu people could be sheltered under the protection of the Liao Grand Commander's Office, and at least personal safety and freedom could be guaranteed.

However, Liu Qun had a different view on this point. Since the Grand Governor's Office of Ping Liao has been established, it is natural to provide more protection to the people of Liao border liu. It is natural that the Donghu Yi tribe is not allowed to enslave the people of Xia Shengmin. If it can be implemented, it can establish a sense of pride and a sense of belonging in the minds of Liao border liu.

However, Liu Qun put forward his own opinions on the specific approach. Hu Run wanted to punish such violations of the ban on Yi tribe with heavy punishment, which is naturally a great country should have a posture, but the situation in the Liao border is somewhat special.

The development of the border between Liao was not enough, and there were many deserted mountains and fields. A large number of people living in Youji fled to Liao in the morning and after Yongjia. Over the years, there is no way to count how many people have entered Liao.

The situation of the wandering people in the border area is different from the early young Xu Qiao people who traveled south. They were able to gather in large quantities between Huai and Si. The barren and deserted Liao land was not suitable for large-scale gatherings of people, so a large number of wandering people were scattered in the wilderness. There is no way to count how many of them were recruited and banned by the Yi tribes such as the Donghu.

If the Grand Governor's Office of Ping Liao was too tough and violent on this issue, it would certainly shock these Yi tribes and prevent them from being openly bullied and enslaved by the Liao border people.

But everything has two aspects. These Yi tribes themselves cannot be called good. Once they are shocked by the powerful power of the Grand Governor's Office, in order to avoid punishment, they will have a high chance of destroying the evidence of crime, that is, they will directly kill the Liao border liu people controlled and enslaved by the tribe. In this way, the rescue of the Grand Governor's Office has become the death talisman of these poor refugees.

The power of the Daliang King's Army is indeed necessary to be promoted, but for the lives of those cold and bitter liu, the application of means must be cautious. A one-size-fits-all approach is not advisable, because the Liao border is already a small population, and recruiting and accepting the Xia liu people is also a common practice for the Donghu tribes to strengthen themselves. Once the means are too decisive, almost all Donghu tribes will be pushed to the opposite of the Wangshi.

Liu Qun's suggestion was to capture the big and let go of the small. For the large Donghu tribes, they could be tough and restricted, and they could stop banning and enslaving the people in the border areas of Liao as soon as possible. If necessary, they should take military measures.

For some small Donghu tribes, they can be softer and even give certain benefits, allowing them to act as big and ears and minions to help promote the king's government and let them take the initiative to move closer to the Grand Governor's Office. They can even de-assimilate and incorporate these small-scale Yi tribes through the population of these Yi tribes.

"The Liao border has been deserted for a long time, and it is difficult to seek quick success in the management matters. It is difficult to spread the people here quickly. The Hu people eat raw meat and drink blood, but I, the Xia people, have been farming and sericulture for a long time, and were born to learn this. Although China and the barbarians live in a mixed world, if they emphasize the law to encourage farming and farming, the majority of those who get favors are still the Liao border people..."

Liu Qun had such an experience since he was in the border area of ​​Liao. If the people in the border area of ​​Liao lived in a mixed relationship with the Hu, they would not only have to carefully distinguish and separate completely, but also take time and effort, and the twists and turns and variables in the process were unpredictable. However, as the main cause of the people in the Xia people, if farming and serenity can be rewarded and motivated, even if they are farming, the people in the Xia people will definitely benefit more than those in the Hu people.

China's China has been based on agriculture and sericulture as its foundation for a long time. Although the Liao border is bitter and cold, the cost-effectiveness of developing agriculture and sericulture is far inferior to that of Hebei and other places, its status as the fundamental governance of the people is still unshakable.

Regarding this point, not only Liu Qun mentioned it, but also focused on the Liao strategy mentioned by Jin Xuangong to Hurun. As Murong Huang's son, Jin Xuangong had a deeper feeling about the rise of the Murong tribe in Liaodong.

In addition to providing far more stable and reliable harvests than fishing and hunting, the most important thing is to bind the population through land to provide a stable source of troops.

After profound sinicization, the Murong tribe gradually grew stronger than Liaodong, and its efficiency in mobilizing tribal forces was far higher than that of other Donghu tribes. Even though the Liao border was cold and lacked land, it could still obtain materials through plundering of war.

In fact, during the period when the Five Barbarians invaded China, the only Hu forces that truly maintained relatively pure nomadic habits and entered China was the Northern Wei Dynasty, founded by the Xianbei Tuoba tribe.

The background for the Northern Wei Dynasty to enter China was the Battle of Feishui, the collapse of the Former Qin Dynasty, the so-called Hu and Di chaos, and the productivity of the north was severely damaged, which provided a background basis for the Tuoba tribe's transition south. After the Northern Wei Dynasty moved south, it also actively carried out Chinese reforms, which became the beginning of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Hurun's Grand Governor's Office of Ping Liao was mainly focused on military affairs. Therefore, Liu Qun's proposals were mainly for Wen Fangzhi, the newly promoted governor of Pingzhou. Although the Liao border is still a weak and strong situation in the Han Dynasty, as long as a solid foundation for agriculture and sericulture can be established, it is only a matter of time before the Han people become the leader of the Liao border.

However, Liu Qun did not recommend that the Liao border, such as Hebei and other places, adopt the form of military farming and raising troops, because the natural environment in the Liao border is even worse and the yield is limited. Once military supplies are given priority, there will be little left to live.

In this way, land reclamation is not very attractive to the people in the Liao border. Without more favorable conditions, they are probably more willing to be self-sufficient as a hidden household.

Therefore, Liu Qun suggested that Pingzhou directly adopt the equal-field system that has been implemented in Henan, Guanzhong and other places. The farmer enjoys the land and encourages the people to cultivate their livelihoods so that more households can be mastered.

Regarding the issue of naturalization among people, Liu Qun proposed the concept of "women's household registration", and women can also register as parents of household registration. This is mainly aimed at those miserable women who have been occupied by the Huhu. This group of people can also be naturalized and divided into land, but Han women must be used as the head of the household and enjoy the ownership of all household properties.

When Hu Run heard this suggestion, he couldn't help but shook his head: "It's already a pity that I, the wife of Xia, mismatched Hu Chou. The king's army came here and was punished and saved. How could he allow those Hu Chou to rely on evil to enjoy the benefits!"

"The great governor's strong voice is truly commendable. However, those who mismatch the Liao border are not just one or two. If they are punished, they will inevitably be separated from each other and the people's feelings will be sad. In this case, there is no need to have a rope to cut it..."

Ambition is one aspect, but reality is the other. The situation mentioned by Liu Qun is also very common in Liao areas. Previously, Han refugees, as a vulnerable group in the Liao border, were many women who were occupied by the Hu people and organized their families.

It is also a very difficult task to force these families to separate. Everyone has the feelings of raising children. Even if those women resent their spouses, can they break up with their children?

The women's family proposed by Liu Qun is aimed at those women who are reluctant to give up their affection. Since their fate has no way to change, they can only remedies in other aspects, establish their property ownership through government decrees and force, and make their families a step in the integration of China and the barbarians.

In the future, the Pingzhou Governor's Office will gradually carry out various government orders such as equalization of land, education, etc. The groups that these government orders are naturally dominated by Xialiu people, but it is difficult for the Hu people to be completely excluded. This kind of registered household in the Chinese and foreign groups will also become a major way for the Hu people to benefit.

However, Hu Run still reserved this: "If you are not a clan, your heart will be different! Since Yongjia, the Xia people have been suffering from the abuse of the Hu barbarians. If there is really a woman who is short-sighted, confused about personal feelings and ignorant of righteousness, why should she save her again? Once this order is issued, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no Hu Zhong who is arrogant and arrogant to look down on me, the Xia people who are good goods, and use this to steal the king's law and benefit and raise the body of the jackal!"

Of course, Hu Run said this just anger and was resentful that the women in the Xia Dynasty were occupied by the Hu people. But from the facts, Liu Qun's suggestion is not a good deed.

It should be noted that Hu Run himself was in the Barbarian tribe when he was young, and later he was able to join the sects of today's saints to make achievements. He also relied on the bloody battles of ghost-faced barbarians under his command. If the Hu people could educate properly, they might not be able to become the kingly support.

Through the form of women's family, the task of educating Hu people is divided into households and households. In the long run, the consequences are actually much smaller than the reorganization of the entire tribe.

However, Wen Fangzhi's words would greatly relieve Hu Run's depression.

"The mixed places of China and the barbarians are caused by years of malpractice. The wife immediately established her, and made me, Xia women, the parents of Donghu, and I can also take Donghu women and children as slaves..."

Wen Fangzhi told his plan, which was to transport many women from the Donghu tribe to the Central Plains. On the one hand, it could supplement the deficit of the Central Plains population, and women could avoid the hidden dangers of riots. On the other hand, in the long run, a large-scale loss of women can control the continued development of the Donghu population.

Hearing Wen Fangzhi's plan, Hu Run couldn't help but slamming the high and exclaimed: "No wonder before leaving, the saint asked me to ask Mr. Yang Qu for advice if he was not determined when he encountered any problems. The plan was finalized, Mr. Yang Qu is indeed worthy of the reputation of a national scholar!"

Wen Fangzhi just grinned at Hurun's praise and accepted all the orders shamelessly, not thinking that there was anything wrong with this human trafficker's plan.

The idea of ​​using Donghu women as an important population resource to transport them to the sky is not a temporary plan.

It is an indisputable fact that the Central Plains have experienced wars and a sharp decline in population. However, the lessons of the Hu disaster in the country have not yet gone far. They are cautious and eliminated when accepting the Hu people's migration. Even if there is one, the opening of the openness is very small and the practical significance is not great.

As early as the first year of Daye, Wen Fangzhi suggested to the court to attract women from Donghu to move inward to reward meritorious scholars. However, because the court was still weak in the Liao border, the amount of it could provide was very limited, and the transportation capacity that communicated between the north and the south at that time was precious, so it was difficult to use it on a large scale.

However, afterwards, His Majesty the Emperor sent a private message to Wen Fangzhi, implying that this idea was feasible and needed to be supplemented and improved. Although women are not as physically capable as Ding Nan, they are still very precious human resources in some fixed fields.

Not to mention, once this channel is opened, at least the large textile workshops in Jiangdong are willing to accept these manpower. Moreover, a large number of upstart portals in the sky also need these Donghu slaves to maintain their lives.

It is already hard to maintain life in Liao border. In order to maintain existence, some small tribes also have to bear heavy labor and even fight with armed forces. The situation is a tragic situation. Organizing these people to the Central Plains is definitely an improvement in their own situation and there is no need to have any moral burden.

Because of this, Hurun and Wen Fangzhi, the military and political leaders of the Liao border, reached a high degree of consensus and soon began to implement it.

Hurun’s Grand Governor’s Office used military means to punish evil and punish crimes to crack down on those small Donghu tribes with conclusive evidence to capture Donghu women.

The governor's office of Pingzhou was not convenient to come forward directly. Wen Fangzhi could only interview those rich merchants from the country who were traveling to and from the border of Liao and encouraged them to buy them with wealth. As long as they could transport people back to the sky, in addition to their own benefits, they could also receive certain subsidies from the prefecture and county governments.

Most of the Donghu tribes at present have not yet established a long-term development plan, and it is even less obvious that this is a scattered plan for sugar-coated parcels. Not only is it not alert, it is happy to open up a stable source of wealth.

The fields are poor and scarce, and fishing, hunting, woodcutting and picking are hard and dangerous. However, if you sell the weak and useless women in the tribe to those Chinese merchants, you can get essential goods such as food, clothing, wealth and goods. This is really a good deal. As long as the granaries are abundant and you can fight bravely, why should a real man have no wives?

As for those women who were sold by their tribesmen, they might feel sad, but soon these injuries were diluted by their yearning for a prosperous country in the sky.

It is said that the fields of fat are accumulated in the sky, and the rivers are ointment. Women do not need to work hard in the biting cold wind. The men in the sky are also polite. Unlike the vulgar men in the tribe, they beat and scold women at every turn. They spin the yarn in the window, put on the mirror, tie the buns in the clouds, and enjoy the flowers in the ox cart. Who doesn’t yearn for such a life?

Many things take time to show a strong impact.

In the second year of Daye, women from Liao border began to flow to the Central Plains, and the influence was still invisible. After that, this scale increased year by year, and a large number of women from Donghu entered the Central Plains. Most of them entered Henan, Guanzhong, Jiangdong, Shuzhong and other places, engaged in textiles and tea-picking techniques with low labor intensity. However, a considerable number of them entered the powerful and noble families, including Xianbei maids and Korean maids, who were also known as Jiashu in the Tianzhong market.

When the Hu tribes of the Liao border were alert to the restrictions on the new population caused by the loss of women, several years had passed, and the Liao governor's office had become a giant in the Liao border, which was no longer something they could challenge. Moreover, most tribal soldiers were recruited to the Han family, and their mistresses had their own wife who had been given their lives day and night. The neighbors climbed the fields and found that they had no mood or energy to plan for hegemony.

In the 16th year of Daye, the Wang army entered Pyongyang and completely defeated Goguryeo. The widowers in the city were said to be a joke.

ps: There are about two or three chapters left in the Liaodong chapter, mainly the Murong Ministry issue. As for Goguryeo, we will not continue to extend it...
