As the situation in Hanzhong County was completely stabilized.

Liu Bei, who had already set up an altar in Mianyang and proclaimed himself the King of Hanzhong, also made a quick decision and returned to the court with his main troops and troops.

The father and son Zhao Yun and Zhao Tong will also be separated again.

But when Zhao Tong went north.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei talked to each other and established the marriage between the two parties.

After some solemn explanation.

Zhao Tong followed Huo Jun and his troops directly through Yangping Pass and headed to Jianwei in the northwest to Wudu.

Because this is a new appointment.

Wudu and Yinping counties are adjacent to the various ethnic groups of the Western Qiang, and there are also many Di tribes in the territory. The situation is extremely complicated.

Huo Jun did not choose to go north through Ju County and rush to Xiaben, the county government.

Instead, they marched directly along Jianwei in the northwest.

I also took the opportunity to inspect the customs and customs of various places in the two counties along the way.

Look at Zhao Tong's various performances over the past year.

And now the Lord is vigorously training and training him.

It also made Huo Jun look at him with admiration for a while.

Along the way.

Although the two are very different in age.

But we basically talk about everything!

From the art of war, strategy, formation of troops, and military management strategies, etc.

But...

Huo Jun was mostly talking, while Zhao Tong listened quietly.

It's not like I couldn't answer the call.

The main reason is that Huo Jun is the elder.

As a junior, it is still necessary to maintain the necessary humility!

Since many days.

Through this period of communication with Zhao Tong.

Huo Jun showed deep admiration for the way he commanded the soldiers and used the troops.

Even now, judging from his humble character, it can be seen that he has basically inherited the character of his father Zhao Yun.

Huo Jun couldn't help but feel happy again.

And the conversation continued all the way.

It also made the friendship between the two extremely warm.

"A Tong, do you feel emotional about the local customs and customs on the way from Hanzhong to Jianwei?"

As the relationship gradually becomes more familiar.

Huo Jun also addressed him with a familiar title.

After hearing this, Zhao Tong seemed to ponder for a while, and then said directly: "Well... judging from what Tong has seen and heard in recent days, the public sentiment between these two counties is indeed different from that in Hanzhong."

"Especially among the Di tribes living in the territory, some of them still live in seclusion in the mountains and live a secluded life. Naturally, they are not among those who pay taxes."

"This junior believes that this is also the main reason why Yinping and Wudu have always been regarded as sparsely populated and neglected areas."

"After all, if people are forcibly moved to settle down at the foot of the mountain for unified management and payment of taxes, they would be extremely unwilling to do so!"

"What's more, most of these tribes are also Di tribes. If we really take tough measures, if we are not careful, it will trigger riots among the Di tribes."

The words end here.

After Zhao Tong thought for a while again, he added: "Not only that, but the living habits of most of the Di tribes in the territory are also different from ours."

"Even if we can unify control and management, I may not be able to integrate it in a short time!"

"This is probably the problem our army will face next."

The words fell slowly.

Hearing Zhao Tong's analysis.

Huo Jun also looked at him approvingly and nodded in agreement, with a deep smile on his face.

After hearing Zhao Tong’s analysis.

Huo Jun suddenly felt that he was indeed a malleable talent!

At such an age, based on what I have seen and heard along the way, I can figure out some of the maladministration problems that exist between the two counties.

Based on this alone, Huo Jun can conclude that Zhao Tong's achievements in the future will be limitless!

After pondering for a while, he responded: "What Atong said is indeed true!"

"Since the Qiang and Di people live together in the two counties, and their living habits are very different from those of the Han people, if we adopt policies and measures from the mainland, it will probably not be able to stabilize the two counties."

"On the contrary, it will be counterproductive."

"But, the good news is that the newly appointed King of Yinping Di, Lei Ding, is close to our army and can provide some help to our army in stabilizing the two counties."

"This is an unexpected surprise!"

As this sentence came out.

It seems that Huo Jun is currently thinking about how to issue political orders next, so that the relatively complicated enemy situation between the two counties and the various Di tribes can be troubled.

Zhao Tong pondered for a while and then slowly expressed to him an idea he had had in mind for a long time.

"General, I have a plan, which may help you manage the two counties more effectively."

"Oh, does Atong have any good ideas?"

It seemed that he was looking at Zhao Tong's face that was filled with extreme confidence.

Huo Jun then also asked quickly.

"General, use the barbarians to control the barbarians, and manage the Di tribes in the county with the characteristics of large mixed settlements and small settlements."

"In this way, maybe over time, we can make the Di people return to our side."

As soon as this was said.

After some hesitation, Zhao Tong slowly explained the policies used by later dynasties to manage ethnic minorities.

The words fell.

Huo Jun's face looked somewhat clear, but his expression seemed to be suspicious, and he asked: "I can understand the use of barbarians to control barbarians, but what do you mean by large mixed settlements and small settlements, Atong?"

"Or how should it be done?"

There was a pause between words, and then Zhao Tong continued to explain in detail: "The so-called large mixed settlement and small settlement means that the Di people who are independent of each other can be gathered together like us Han people."

"To form villages, they gather together to live together."

"And King Lei Ding of Yinpingdi is close to our army. With this person's help, it won't be difficult for me to get together together."

"But now that the troubled times have lasted for decades, many tribes living in seclusion in the mountains have probably been isolated from the world for a long time. They may not be willing to go out to live in the mountains."

"For these tribes, we can specially divide a piece of land for them to live together. This is the small settlement mentioned by the younger generation."

"As for mixed living, it means that some Di tribes who do not reject the Han people and Han culture are moved to the cities or around the cities to live together with the Han people and live together."

"And as time goes by, Dazaju will gradually Chineseize the Di people and integrate with them."

"However, this strategy is a long-term good strategy. It may be effective only if it is implemented for a long time. It will not be able to tame the Di tribes in the county in a short period of time."

The words end here.

He paused for a moment before speaking, and then said: "By the way, General, not only that, when implementing this strategy, you must not bully others."

"On the contrary, we must always provide some benefits to the Di people so that they can understand that there will be great benefits in voluntarily living together with the Han people."

"Without being mistreated."

A series of words fell down.

After slowly elaborating on my argument about "large mixed settlements and small settlements".

Zhao Tong's words stopped abruptly.

This policy was the policy of sparing the people implemented by the Celestial Empire more than a thousand years later.

Speak the truth.

Judging from Zhao Tong's current experience, he doesn't know whether this policy can be continued.

But since this decree has achieved outstanding results in later generations.
To be continued...
