The mother and son reunite, as if they had been separated for a long time.

I kept Guo Yongning for more than half a year, but it only gave her a long memory, but the scene of the mother and son at this time seemed to Guo Hao abused her.

"Ahem, let's sit down. Today's Spring Festival, our family has finally gotten together, so don't mention those unhappy things."

Guo Hao couldn't stand it anymore and reminded the three of them. Qiu Nan and Li Fu smiled, as if they had no objection to this matter.

Although Guo Yongning could return to the palace to live, Guo Hao did not return the power to him. Now a eunuch is in charge of the harem, but some things still require women.

In the third year of Taiping, the first month of the world was unified, and the whole world celebrated and the people were happy.

The palace was filled with a festive and peaceful atmosphere, and the people of the world were also happy for the court, as if there was really no need to fight the war next.

However, the people waited for a long time, but the soldiers at the border still did not come back. Now the Song Dynasty's troops are in the north and the west. As for the southeast coastal defense, there is no need for too much.

That day, Guo Hao received a good news in Gongchu Hall. All the ministers were very happy, but one person could see that Guo Hao was actually not happy. These people were Zhao Pu.

Since Guo Hao became the emperor, some things about Zhao Pu did not happen. Guo Hao's judgment was much sharper than him, otherwise the Northern Han Dynasty in history would not have existed for so long.

Guo Hao took his fame and let him enter the cabinet, but he had no presence in the cabinet and even looked down on him a little.

The reason is that Guo Hao found that his talent was not outstanding, his knowledge was not as good as his own, and his abilities were only acceptable, but he was still quite loyal to him.

Zhao Pu did not read much in history, otherwise how could there be the allusion of "half the Analects of Confucius dominate the world".

In Guo Hao's opinion, this allusion is not very reliable, because his essential thoughts are incompatible with this era.

For example, the attitude towards education was that emperors of all dynasties ruled by fools, with the purpose of consolidating the regime, but Guo Hao did not do so, and he encouraged the people to study.

Some people say that if the people know a lot, it will be difficult to control. Once the people have any ideas, it is easy to cause chaos.

But looking at history, the uprisings in which period were not caused by the inaction of the court, and the issues that the people were concerned about were nothing more than eating a full meal.

At this point, Guo Hao prepared for the future and found new crops. With the current population of the Song Dynasty, the food was completely sufficient.

Therefore, if the people can eat enough, no one will rebel. If there are any natural disasters and man-made disasters, the court will also help. Such an era is unprecedented in ancient times.

But behind this seemingly beautiful, the Song Dynasty actually had great hidden dangers.

At this time, the main troops of the Song Dynasty were on the border, and this situation was very similar to the Qin Dynasty. Once a person like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu appeared in China, it would be very troublesome to deal with it.

The Qin Empire back then was not as vulnerable as we imagined. The reason why Liu Bang took advantage was that the Meng family army in the north guarded the Huns and the 500,000 troops in the south guarded the Baiyue.

As Guo Hao reads more history books, the more things he will consider. As soon as the war occurs, the burden on the people will inevitably be increased, and the situation of his hard work may change in a flash.

Once the enemy is annoyed, you can only distinguish between winning and losing. War will consume a lot of national resources. Once local officials do not handle it well, there will inevitably be rebellion.

So it is not that Zhao Kuangyin has no ambitions, that Zhao Guangyi has insufficient ability, that Han people are not a majestic nation, that is, like the Khitan, the whole nation is a soldier.

Therefore, it is not easy for Guo Hao to unify China. He must be well prepared, otherwise he will burn himself and play with fire and burn himself!

Zhao Pu saw Guo Hao's ambitions and understood his concerns. According to the ancients' thinking, the national strength of the Song Dynasty was actually strong enough and could completely follow the Tang Dynasty and rule some remote areas.

The so-called restraint refers to the states placed by the ancient imperial court in remote ethnic minority areas.

The barbarians use barbarians to control them, and because of their customs, they are different from ordinary prefectures and counties, and are equivalent to autonomous regions in later generations.

"Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Sima Xiangru·Suoyin" explains: "Ji is the head of the horse; 未 is the cow and earthworm."

"The Han Palace Yi" says: "Ma Yun is imprisoned, and the cow is imprisoned, and it means that the four barbarians are imprisoned, like the cow and horses are imprisoned."

The so-called "restraint system" is an ethnic policy adopted by feudal dynasties in multi-ethnic countries in multi-ethnic countries and ethnic minority areas with backward social development.

This policy cannot be said to be bad, it is just not very solid. Those tribes surrendered because of force and lack a sense of belonging to the sect leader.

Guo Hao has also been considering this matter during this period. Although there are hidden dangers, this is the safest way.

Only by having sovereignty first and then through economic and cultural inputs, we can achieve the goal of complete control.

Zhao Pu also thought of this and returned home and carefully studied Guo Hao's strategy. He wrote an article "Planning Border Plan", which describes the policies for ethnic minorities. Guo Hao benefited a lot after reading it.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the dynasty.

Guo Hao sat on the dragon throne, and all civil and military officials came back to rest and returned to work.

"My dear friends, if you are unified today and surrender to all directions, our Song Dynasty seems to have established a foundation for thousands of generations, but in fact there are still many problems to be solved.

Although Dangxiang, Shuofang, and Shuofang in the northwest, Guanyin, Kunming and Luodian in the southwest belong to our Song Dynasty, their control over them is far from enough.

Using barbarians to control barbarians is indeed a good way, but the development of these tribes is very backward.

Therefore, I decided to select a group of officials to help the development of the Yi tribe, and at the same time strengthen economic exchanges and resource exchanges with the Central Plains.

For those backward tribes, we must help them improve, spread Chinese culture, and let them listen to the teachings of the saints!

Only in this way can those Yi tribes be completely included in the Song Dynasty and become a real part of the Song Dynasty!”

Guo Hao's method can be said to have been carefully considered and assimilated through three aspects: technology, economy and culture.

Science and technology are only about life, not military, but economics are about controlling resources. Some areas have abundant resources, but it does not mean that there is anything.

Some resources are scarce, which requires the support of the Central Plains. Moreover, since the resources are exchanged, the court will not do any losses. Guo Hao has been coveting the mineral resources in the northwest region for a long time.

As for culture, this is the most critical step. Only by assimilating culture can those regions truly feel belonging. Otherwise, the surprise of culture will always make them unable to integrate into China.

Guo Hao's political order was issued, and the Ministry of Personnel immediately selected a group of officials and rushed to the northwest and southwest. Before they left, they went through Guo Hao's personal training, and they all took political tasks.

At this time, the literati finally had a place to use their skills. All the officials who went to the west wanted to let the world see it. The literati were actually useful!

Guo Hao is not sure whether it is successful or not. This kind of thing cannot be accomplished day and night, and it must be proved with time.

In order to strengthen exchanges between the two sides, Guo Hao reopened the Land Silk Road and allowed the Beggars' Gang to infiltrate and arrange the inner guards.

At the same time, Chen Lin also obtained two large ships, and the Maritime Silk Road was also opened to accelerate economic development.

In the Geju Academy, Zu Qing stood 200 meters away with a musket, shooting at the target in the distance.

Bang!

After a gunshot, Zu Qing immediately sent someone to check. The wardrobe saw the bullet hole on the target, raised his arms excitedly and waved: "Sir, we succeeded!"

Hearing the call of the steward, Zu Qing hurriedly ran over and saw that there was indeed a small hole in the target, and bullet holes could also be seen on the earth wall behind.

The lead bullet fell deep, which proved that it was powerful enough. The distance of 200 meters had exceeded the range of ordinary bows and arrows. The firearms of the Song Dynasty finally took this step!

The Geju Academy sent this good news to the palace, and Guo Hao was also in a state of energy. This time, the Geju Academy was very powerful, and the range of muskets exceeded that of bows and arrows, which meant that he could form a musket army on a large scale!

Large-scale musket troops represent absolute power. If all 20,000 imperial guards are equipped with muskets, he will not be afraid even if there is a rebellion!

After confirming that the experiment of the Gewu Academy was successful, Guo Hao immediately issued a large-scale construction. At this time, there was an assembly line in the military factory of the Gewu Academy, but the lathe was not yet available.

Moreover, with the first generation of muskets, Guo Hao began to think about the real guns, but he didn't know much about this, so he could only let the people below study it!
