Chapter 93 Tracking on a snowy night (1)

Shi Hui and others were waiting for Sima Yan's good mood. Suddenly, a servant came to report, and two Xiongnu tribes came to join them. Each tribe had a population of more than 100,000, and they were waiting for the decree to arrange the arrangements. Sima Yan became even more happy after hearing this.

Then he asked the ministers present how to arrange these Jianghu.

The barbarians have gradually moved to the interior since the late Han Dynasty. There has always been a big debate in the court about the pros and cons of this matter. Therefore, although the emperor had questions, no one dared to speak out without permission.

When Sima Yan saw that these old ministers were silent, he asked Shu Yan and Shi Biyu: "What do you two think should be done with these Huns?"

Shu Yan was a minister, and he knew that although the Hu people had moved to the mainland for many years, they were rugged by nature, disobedient to discipline, and loved to cause trouble. In addition, local county officials often oppressed them. Over the years, Rong and Di rebelled and killed officials and people.

Things happen frequently.

At present, the DPRK and the Central Government hold two positions on this: one position is that the Hu people are greedy and ferocious, and their customs, habits, clothing, food, and language are different from those of the Chinese. Therefore, they must take advantage of the remaining power of the imperial court after the suppression of Wu to conquer all the people.

now

The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang and other Hu people living in the border states all moved out of the interior, and they were given food and salary to allow them to return to their homeland. Another view is that there is nothing wrong with Hua and Hu living together. They

I also have my own

Principle: After the end of the Han Dynasty, the land of China has been in chaos for a long time. The people were killed, exiled, and moved because of the war. At the beginning of the unification of the Jin Dynasty, the registered Chinese population had dropped sharply to that of the heyday of the Han Dynasty.

ten out of ten

1. The population has dropped sharply, and everything such as taxation, military service, economy, etc. is out of the question. Therefore, not only cannot the Hu people be driven out of the mainland, but also the Hu people must continue to be recruited into the mainland. Of course, these two views

They are all extreme.

Shu Yan had actually been worried about this matter for a long time, but his official position was too low and it was not his turn to speak on important court matters. Today was a good opportunity. He comprehensively considered the pros and cons of the two views and replied: "Your Majesty,

Wei Chen believes that these barbarians can no longer be taken in."

"Why?" Sima Yan lowered his eyes and asked.

Shu Yan said: "The ancients said that if they are not of my race, their minds must be different. Although the Hu people have contributed to our Jin Dynasty by guarding the border and have lived together with our Jin people for many years, they are still extremely stubborn and difficult to assimilate.

Moreover, since they moved there, the race has multiplied extremely rapidly, and the population is no longer the same as that of the local Chinese.

Compared with others. These Hu people surrendered to the Central Plains when they were weak, and invaded the Central Plains when they were strong. This has been the case since ancient times, and they were capricious. Especially the Xiongnu, who had a population of hundreds of thousands in various states, and they were naturally

He is brave, has a handy bow and horse, and is twice as powerful as the Di and Qiang, so you must be on guard against them."

Although it went against his own ideas, Sima Yanyu was tolerant and not angry. He still said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. The previous dynasty had anticipated this and was afraid that the Xiongnu would be too strong, so it divided the Xiongnu into three tribes.

Later, the three divisions were changed into five divisions. Now they are independent, no matter how powerful they are, there is nothing to worry about. "

Shu Yan said: "Although the five tribes of the Xiongnu are in charge of their own affairs, they are still one clan. If unfortunately, the Jin Dynasty declines, and a hero emerges from the Xiongnu, and if he raises his arms and raises his arms, the five tribes will definitely unite and respond."

Regarding the issue of Hua and Hu, Shu Yan and Xiao Mo once had a dispute. Xiao Mo knew that in the face of national justice, men tend to stand firmer than women, especially Shu Yan. He was a different kind. After Shu Yan's remarks

Although there was a tendency to emphasize China over Hu in the conversation, from the perspective of caring about the country and the people, there is absolutely no doubt. Moreover, what Brother Shu said

The potential danger of the Xiongnu does exist. Although they are both Hu people, their Qiang people cannot be compared with the Xiongnu in terms of population, bows and horses. Although the Qiang people are also capricious, the Hua Qiang have deep historical roots and will never

They alone pose a threat to the Chinese, and if the Huns become stronger, they alone can wipe out most of China.

Thinking of this, she looked at Shu Yan and asked without any emotion: "Do you mean to move all the Hu people back to their original homeland?"

"Of course not. The Analects of Confucius says: Once they have arrived, they should be in peace. The Hu people who have surrendered before should find ways to resettle them properly and treat them equally. They must not be moved back to their place of origin with great fanfare, leaving them with no stable settlement.

Therefore, a virtuous king must never

Do that. Because that will definitely make the Hu people miserable and complain, which will immediately arouse public anger and provoke a large-scale resistance by the Hu people. What I mean is that if you don’t drive away those in the past, you won’t accept those in the future. You can never recruit them again.

The new barbarians have been admitted. Now the West

In the northern states, the Hu and Hua populations are almost the same, and if they continue to be admitted, it will inevitably cause a serious crisis. Especially like this time, the two tribes often have more than 200,000 Huns, plus other Huns that were admitted before,

Will inevitably form a demographic advantage

, once there is any abnormal movement, not only the northwest states and counties will be in danger, but what is particularly serious is that the Xiongnu gathering place is only a few hundred miles away from Luoyang. If there is no effective resistance, the capital will be endangered within a few days!" Shu Yan said this without any hint of anything.

Prejudice, without any emotion.

After listening to Shu Yan's words, Sima Yan felt that it made sense, but he was unwilling to give up the tribes that had come to join him. So he asked Shi Biyu, who had been silent, "What do you think?"

In addition to having fun and chatting with friends, Biyu never cares about these so-called national affairs. He thinks that those messy national affairs will be taken care of by others, so why should he worry about these mundane affairs? Even if he becomes a secretary

, usually he only cares about books and does not ask about political affairs. Today, the emperor suddenly asked about the Hu people. His mind went blank for a while. I don’t know why.

Answer. When it comes to Hu people, he seems to have no other concepts in his mind. The first thing that comes to mind is A Miao. At home, A Miao is his hands and feet, and cannot be separated from him for a moment. He can't explain why.

What to do with these barbarians, but A Miao is a barbarian. If you don't want barbarians, you don't want A Miao. That's absolutely impossible. Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Wei Chen does not agree with Shu Shangshu Lang's point of view."

"Well, really, tell me about it." Sima Yan was happy after hearing this.

"Well……"

In the past, Biyu had no idea about such issues. Today, he suddenly expressed his disagreement with Shu Yan's point of view, but he didn't know how to explain the reason. He couldn't say that he couldn't live without a Xianbei maid. That would be too embarrassing.

Fortunately, he was talented and intelligent. He only hesitated for a moment and quickly gathered the words in his mind. "What Shu Shangshu Lang said, 'When it comes, make peace with it.'" is from "The Analects of Confucius" in "Ji's General Defeats Zhuan Yu".

Chapter, if I remember correctly

If so, the previous sentence of this sentence is "If people from afar are dissatisfied, then come here to cultivate virtue". It means: The ancient sage kings all hoped that the people of other countries would go to his country to live in peace. If the people of other countries did not go,

, and still trying to find ways

The locals are cultivating their virtues to attract them. On the other hand, we do not need to recruit people now, but people from other countries are rushing to come and join us. This fully shows that my Majesty has great virtues, but we are rejecting people thousands of miles away. This is

What’s the point?”

Biyu has always been very articulate, and today's words were quoted from classics, which made Shu Yan unable to find any flaws. He was so angry that his face turned red, and he was trying to find a reason to reply when he suddenly heard Xiaomo sneer at Biyu: "Although I don't know "The Analects of Confucius"

Familiar, but I always

Every time I listen to Brother Shu's night recitation, I also know that it is true that the so-called holy kings in ancient times wanted to recruit people from other countries, but the people they recruited were ordinary people of the same race, and they never recruited people with bows and armor.

Of foreigners!"

Bi Yu thought to himself: What a Jiang Xiaomo. As a Hu, he actually helped Shu Yan speak for Shu Yan. Have he forgotten his identity? He also sneered at Xiao Mo and said, "What's wrong with the Hu? The Hu can help us guard the border."

, follow the imperial court to conquer the four directions; it can increase our population, so as to avoid thousands of miles of wilderness and breeding of tigers and leopards; it can bring people to the border

Prosperity and contribution of their soil. As a big country in the Celestial Dynasty, how can it be called a big country in the Celestial Dynasty if it does not have a sufficient population? Now that the Jin Dynasty has such a small population, when will it be able to prosper? Moreover, if the Hu people are unreliable,

So how come you, a Qiang man, are allowed to do such an important job as being in charge of the emperor's royal meals?"

At that time, Hu people were a derogatory term, and it was very impolite for Biyu to tell Xiao Mo that he was a Hu person in public. But Xiao Mo was not angry, but smiled heartily: "I am not a Hu person, my grandfather

But Changan Fahrenheit

Han people, in terms of reputation, in the Later Han Dynasty, my ancestors were no worse than your ancestors! Look at you, you said so many things to help the Hu people, not for the imperial court, but for your yellow-haired Xianbei maid

!”

"You!" Biyu also blushed when Xiaomo said that he had hit his little Jiujiu.

Xiao Mo has grown up and has never admitted that he is Chinese. Today, in order to help Shu Yan, he actually gave up this belief. This made Shu Yan very shocked and moved.

The three of them were bickering here, but Sima Yan was happy to hear: It turns out that the three of them are not only of the same age, but also of the same appearance, and they also have the same quarrels with each other. He nodded and said with a smile: "What you said is very good, but you are all young and of low status.

Naturally, I will discuss this important national matter with my veterans later, so you should not argue about it."

Although Sima Yan said this, as an emperor who loved great achievements, he preferred what Biyu said. Therefore, he arranged all the more than 200,000 Huns in Yongzhou and Bingzhou. Later, there were also Hu people of various ethnic groups.

There was an endless stream of people coming to pay their respects, and he still accepted all the orders as before.

Murong Xin of Xianbei was defeated, and the border troubles disappeared. In the Central Plains, the Hu slave trade flourished again.

At the end of October, Luoyang had its first heavy snowfall of the year. After the snow, it cleared up, and Luoyang City turned into a world covered in silver. The wide streets, the tall tree crowns, and the pointed roofs were all covered with snow.

A thick layer of snow fell, and even the two huge bronze camels that served as landmarks at the starting point of Tongtuo Street outside Changhemen turned into two "silver camels" overnight.

These two bronze camels were cast during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the Western Regions, trade between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions continued. Countless camel caravans loaded with various goods continuously shuttled back and forth across the vast Gobi.

It exchanged goods and supplies between the two places, greatly enriching the lives of the people along the road. In order to thank camels for their important role in the Silk Road trade

In order to commemorate this great historical achievement of his, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered two huge bronze camels to be cast in the capital Chang'an. Later, the Eastern Han Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, and when it came to Cao Wei, Emperor Wei Ming sent people to cast these two camels.

A large number of national treasures, including a bronze camel, were transported to Luoyang and placed on both sides of the royal road outside the palace gate, and the royal road was named Bronze Camel Street.

Xiao Mo is no stranger to snow, but when she saw such thick snow, she still couldn't hide her excitement. She asked Shu Yan to go out to Tongtuo Street together to enjoy the snow scenery of Luoyang. Although it snowed, the afternoon sunshine was very bright.

Warmth, warm sunshine and snowy scenery have made many people go out to walk in the snow like Shu Yan and Xiao Mo, including young men from aristocratic families. Of course, they do not walk in the snow with their own feet, but with ox hooves and wheels.

Biyu did not use a calf cart, but sat on a special deer cart. Of course, this deer cart was not the deer cart specially allocated by the imperial court to Secretary Lang, but a real deer specially built by a private person.

The cart is driven by an adult sika deer. It is narrower than the calf cart and has no driver. Biyu personally holds the bridle. A Miao and A Yan can only stand on both sides of the shaft. Originally, the deer cart should

The adult red deer should be driven, because the red deer is much larger than the sika deer and has a more stable temperament. However, Biyu, A Miao and A Yan think that the red deer is too ugly with its rustic gray hair all over its body.

, so they switched to sika deer with beautiful spotted patterns for driving. Generally, sika deer are too small and not suitable for driving, but the Shi family has money, so they use

Ten cows were exchanged for a very large sika deer for driving. Although it is very large, it is still smaller than an adult red deer due to species limitations. This sika deer is male, with a strong body and a huge head.

The antlers are as thick and strong as dry tree branches. White plum blossom-shaped spots are spread among the bright yellow-brown hair on the nape of the neck. The belly is clean.

White. It is majestic and handsome. It was obvious that it was once the king of the deer in its herd. It was respected by all the members of the herd and fascinated by all the adult female deer. But now it is forced to leave the herd and work as a driver. Biyu
