After Jia Xu received the news that Liu Yan and Zhou Yu had been assassinated, he personally led the team to Xinzhou. After all, for Jia Xu, nothing in this world is more important than his personal safety.
Compared with Zhou Yu, who was mostly seeking his own death, and Liu Yan, who had such strong security and could be assassinated, Jia Xu felt that he really had to explore the situation carefully.
As a result, when Jia Xu arrived in Xinzhou and just started to conduct investigations, Sima Lang was assassinated. This incident was still not done by the Yang family and the Yuan family, which was very outrageous.
"So, what are your Yang family and Yuan family doing?" Jia Xu looked at Yang Hao and Yuan Jing who came here to explain, and asked expressionlessly. However, this indifference made it difficult for them to explain.
The two of them were very helpless.
"Since the last round of assassination of Doctor Liu, our family has stopped planning for fear of getting into trouble again." Yang Hao tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart and explained as much as possible what the two families were doing recently, "
Since then, the assassins arranged by our two families have been at the Xinzhou Government Office and have not been dispatched. This matter has nothing to do with us."
"I know it has nothing to do with you." Jia Xu didn't really want to hear this unnecessary explanation. He didn't care whether this matter had anything to do with the Yang family or the Yuan family, because it was Sima Lang who was assassinated, let alone the
He's not dead. Even if he is dead, there will still be backup candidates to take over, so it doesn't matter.
What really made Jia Xu calm down and think about it was the current situation in Xinzhou. Jia Xu had never been to Xinzhou before. The information about Xinzhou mainly came from the intelligence system of Guo Jia and others. There was only one built by the intelligence system.
Overall cognition, in this cognition, Jia Xu believed that there were certain problems in Xinzhou, but when he actually came to Xinzhou...
Jia Xu had a feeling that it was chaotic. The situation here was very chaotic, and because of the problem of population migration, the social conflicts at the bottom here were also relatively large. Thanks to the fact that Xinzhou was still in the era of fertile water and grass these days, the three western regions
The years of management of the Sixteen Kingdoms have long since turned this area into mature soil, and it can rely on large-scale land rewards to maintain the most basic operation of the place.
However, people from different places, with different customs and cultures, and the remnants of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms settled in Xinzhou, and the resulting underlying conflicts were actually quite serious.
Although in terms of pure governance, turning social contradictions into contradictions at the bottom and instigating internal strife at the bottom is conducive to national rule. Even if there will be a certain amount of internal friction, it will reduce the cost of governance to a certain extent. After all, if the people at the bottom
If we sit together and unitely think about why we are like this, then the superiors will have to consider whether it is time for us to cut off our flesh.
But from Jia Xu's point of view, Jia Xu, who has experienced the Qiang Rebellion, knows very well that with the current chaos in Xinzhou, if a spark is thrown in, it will most likely explode, repeating the situation in Liangzhou back then.
As for whether they are Han people or locals, it actually makes no sense. The main force of the Qiang rebellion in the past is not Qiang people anymore. After all, many nominal ethnic conflicts will be found when you really look at them from a high latitude.
It is essentially a class conflict caused by interests.
Jia Xu did not have the consciousness of the class conflict behind it, but Jia Xu knew very well how the Liangzhou where he lived had exploded, so after he really came here, he no longer paid attention to Sima Lang, but focused on how to dismantle it.
Drop this bomb.
After sending Yang Hao and Yuan Jing away, Jia Xu sat aside and began to think quietly. Soon Liu Yan came in from the door. By this time, his injuries had already healed, but Jia Xu asked Liu Yan to cover up the incident first.
Let's see if anyone else has any ideas about assassination.
"Wenhe, did you do that thing about Sima Boda?" Liu Yan looked at Jia Xu and asked strangely. When Jia Xu did this, he did not cover up Liu Yan, so compared to
In the chaos that others were caught in, Liu Yan saw the matter clearly at a glance, but he was even more puzzled when he saw it clearly.
"It's just a matter of following the current and venting the anger of the Qiang people towards Sima Lang." Jia Xu said calmly, "To a certain extent, I saved Sima Lang's life."
"I'm just wondering why you used such a drastic method." Liu Yan looked at Jia Xu in confusion and asked, "There are obviously other methods, and this method is completely inconsistent with your normal handling habits.
I feel weird."
"Even you, who know me so well, find it strange, and other people would never think this way." Jia Xu said calmly, "Sima Lang did a terrible job this time, Yuan and Yang both
From a practical point of view, it is reasonable to change the family, but that was before I came here, but after I came here, I realized that Sima Lang still has enough value."
Liu Yan nodded when he heard the words. He was not blind. The problem in Xinzhou was huge, and it was different from Anxi, Zhongnan, and Ganges. In those places, the Han Dynasty won the war seriously and obtained the legal system by force.
, there is no need to be merciful and gentle to the locals.
Although the Han Dynasty also has a soft side when dealing with these people, and is not blindly tough, the Han Dynasty can indeed do some things that do not treat people as human beings when necessary. After all, those places are inherently
It is not the core area owned by the Han Dynasty. Even if the Han family that goes there has a sense of responsibility, the highest priority must be their own interests.
Therefore, in those places, even if the Han family behaved extremely kindly, they would kill people whenever necessary, and on a large scale.
But Xinzhou is different. Xinzhou is the northwest passage for the Han Dynasty. It is a newly established state and county of the Han Dynasty. Its population has been included in the ranks of the country's common people from the beginning, so many actions are impossible to carry out.
After all, Chen Xi, who is at the top, is moral and cannot kill local people indiscriminately.
As a result, Xinzhou has been on a powder keg, or to put it more bluntly, Xinzhou has not been cleaned up from the beginning.
These originally existing problems were only suppressed by the migrating population and Sima Lang's management. However, with the passage of time and the low development efficiency of the Northwest Passage, these suppressed problems gradually surfaced.
.
"From this point of view alone, Sima Lang's operation of replacing the population of New South Wales was actually correct, because only by replacing all the people in New South Wales, or replacing more than 80%, can the local population be completely eliminated.
The population conflict caused by locals and outsiders." Jia Xu said calmly.
The people who migrated from the thirteen counties of the Han Dynasty stopped in Xinzhou and no longer went to Central Asia. They also had to divide their fields and houses. How did the fields come from and how did the houses come from?
Did the non-citizens from the thirty-six countries who migrated take it away?
At that time, Sima Lang traded non-citizens from the Thirty-six Kingdoms and Han Dynasty people for two for one, or even three for one for aristocratic families who passed by. This was a strategy that killed two birds with one stone, but Sima Lang wanted to use this trick to eliminate permanent troubles.
This resulted in a significant decrease in the population of Xinzhou, and was finally warned by Chen Xi and Li You respectively.
"Just because you have the right idea doesn't mean you can do it." Liu Yan shook his head and said, "I also realized this problem after I came here, but I still want to say that Sima Lang's behavior was too radical. He had some problems in the early days.
The most important thing about why someone else chose to cause trouble like this later is that his thoughts were focused on his own interests from the very beginning."
Liu Yan is not a vegetarian. As the head of the Ministry of Manpower for so many years, he has seen and seen many things. There is no problem with Sima Lang's ability, Sima Lang's judgment, and Sima Lang's analysis of the contradictions at the bottom of Xinzhou. But in the end
The solution proposed was obviously based on family interests, not the interests of the country.
"It was agreed back then that Sima Boda gave up his position in Chang'an and came to Xinzhou. We said at the time that this action was actually to pave the way for the Sima family. We also chose to accept it at the time, but we just said,
From then on, Sima Boda had no chance to enter Chang'an." Jia Xu looked at Liu Yan calmly and said, "He didn't do anything bad, which I think is acceptable."
Liu Yan didn't argue when he heard this, which was a fact. After all, it was agreed that Sima Lang would go to Xinzhou to pave the way for his family, so they would accept his behavior within a certain level, but Sima Lang's behavior
I played it a few times and it was really too big.
"Back then, the hidden dangers were not eradicated from the root. Now, the conflicts between the former locals and the immigrants in New South Wales are getting bigger and bigger due to issues such as land and water competition. In addition, Sima Boda has carried out various measures to reduce conflicts.
The split-style merging of villages did reduce conflicts in the early days, but now it has increased the conflicts between villages." Jia Xu said with an indifferent expression.
In the early days, Sima Lang's plan was basically equivalent to vacating the cage and changing the bird. Some people say that this is a very outrageous plan in itself, but considering that the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions themselves were only influenced by the Han Dynasty, they were not ruled by the Han Dynasty.
In this area, the people did not fully accept the Chinese culture. Sima Lang colluded with the Central Asian aristocratic families to carry out mandatory two-for-one, or even three-for-one, and transferred the people of the thirty-six countries to Central Asia.
When they arrived in the lawless land of Central Asia, the Han family had many ways to subdue these people. Even if they couldn't subdue these people, the people of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions had hatred in their hearts and got involved with the thieves in Anxi's homeland. The Han family also had
The solution.
After all, in the moral land of the country, some methods cannot be used, but it does not mean that in a lawless land like Central Asia, it cannot be dealt with. Even if it fails, isn't there still a method of humane destruction?
Speaking of which, there is a reason why these places in Central Asia are called lawless places. From what Chen Xi said back then, the laws do not apply to restrain the major families. Unless one party files a lawsuit against the other party, the senior officials of the Han Dynasty will send Tingwei to lead the team.
Provide legal assistance to both parties article by article and answer each case one by one.
After this clear regulation appeared, the Central Asian family would not go out of their way to provide any legal aid as long as they had no problems. After all, each family knew what their own situation was. A legal aid team led by Ting Wei might not be able to provide legal aid in the future.
When the opponent was cleaning up, he also cleaned up his own family. After all, which family would be the little white flower? To put it too much, the three-drink fines done by major aristocratic families were put on the heads of ordinary people, and the whole family might be killed.
All right.
Therefore, the Central Asian aristocratic families never sued the officials, but handled matters on their own. Over time, the Han Dynasty became lawless in the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, many problems that require generations of morality and education to solve at home can be solved in just a few seconds after leaving the country. As for the accumulation of hatred, for the collective, it is never hatred that continues the war.
But profit.
Hatred is more about individuals. Hatred under the collective will is more of an inducement. Interest is the real core.
So when the two-to-one and three-to-one exchanges were made, Sima Lang was very happy. He took advantage and gave his family a good hand. The Central Asian family was also very happy. No matter how poor the population of the thirty-six countries was, it was a real experience.
The good population influenced by the Han culture is much easier to absorb than the Parthian people. As for the problems that such buying and selling of the population will cause, who cares?
If not, you can still blame them. For example, the kings of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions took their entire country's assets and went to Chang'an to enjoy their happiness. Some kings even scraped the land severely before leaving. In fact, you are being evicted now.
It's because your king sold you to us, Barabara, blame your king if you want, we paid the price.
As for the houses you built and the acres you cultivated, there is nothing we can do about it. When your king left, you people were transferred to us. Now we have dragged you to Central Asia. Let’s do this. We will redistribute them to you in Central Asia.
Houses and acres.
As a result, although the people of the thirty-six countries who were deported to Central Asia were very angry, there was no good solution. On the one hand, their military force really could not keep up with the Han family. On the other hand, now that the matter had come to this, the Han family
You are still willing to say nice things, and you are willing to lie to them, just muddle along.
It's just that Sima Lang's operation of replacing people with people, completely vacating Xinzhou, leaving no land but no people, was stopped by Chen Xi and Li You before it was completed. After all, if this replacement continues, a huge Xinzhou may even be destroyed by hundreds of people.
Tens of thousands of people are gone.
To be continued...
