Chapter 1241 It’s hard to go back if you have home
Han Rong watched the scenery on the bridge for a while and felt comfortable.
During this period, several large ships passed under the bridge. Except for one ship that needed to temporarily lower the mast, the others were unobstructed and there was no trouble.
Those who argued were right. This arch bridge is very convenient for passing boats, but the cars crossing the bridge are difficult. At this point, they can only get off the car, pull down the car with manpower, and then put it down carefully.
The people who built the bridge should have considered it and finally chose to be beneficial to the ship but not to the car.
Han Rong stood on the bridge for a long time, but didn't see a car. He probably chose to take a detour.
The wind gradually became stronger, Han Rong was a little cold, so he turned around and prepared to get off the bridge.
At this time, a few horses ran from afar. Even though they were far apart, Han Rong could see that those horses were not ordinary horses, but real Wuhuan horses. Although the Wuhuan horses were not as tall as the Xiliang horses.
It is strong, but it is not slow, and it will reach the bridge in a short while.
Before the horse could stop, he turned over and dismounted the horse, threw the reins to the follower, and held a bag, strode to the bridge with a meteor, one step and three steps.
Han Rong looked closely and couldn't help but laugh.
The middle-aged man in front of him, who was agile and slightly dark-faced, was nothing but Xinpi who had made an appointment with him.
"George, in such a hurry, where are you going?"
Xinpi came to Han Rong, gasped slightly, bowed and bowed to show his respect. "Han Gong, I am ashamed, the child is negligent in discipline and does not know the etiquette. As soon as I heard that Han Gong is here, I rushed here immediately and asked Han Gong to forgive me.
A piece of fur is used to protect Han Gong from the wind and cold."
As he said that, he shook the bag in his hand and turned out to be a cloak.
What surprised Han Rong was that the cloak was covered in snow-white body, not even a single hair.
"George, this is..."
"The white bear skin in the north of the North Sea, the gift contributed by the barbarians from the border, is extremely warm. Han Gong turned around and I will put it on for you."
Han Rong quickly refused. "I dare not bear it so precious."
Xinpi smiled and without saying a word, she draped her cloak on Han Rong's shoulder. The soft fur wiped Han Rong's face, like a girl's hand, as if there was still a hint of warmth.
"Duke Han, although this thing is rare, it is not precious. There are several items in Youyan Protectorate."
Han Rong was skeptical, but he didn't refuse. He still knew that Xin Pi was not a person who was trying his best to flatter others.
Han Rong, who had originally felt a little cold, suddenly felt warm all over and could not feel the chill at all.
"Why are there many in the northern border?"
Xinpi smiled and said, "Although those barbarians have a lot of skins, their processing skills are not good, so the best skins will be sent to Youzhou and will be made by our craftsmen from the Han Dynasty. They have no other good things, two pieces of skins.
Come on, one piece of leather is the wages.”
Han Rong laughed. "So that's it. Then how much can this leather cloak be sold to Zhongyuan?"
"About one gold. If it is an ordinary black bear, the brown bear will be cheaper, about six or seven thousand yuan."
Han Rong was amazed at it, not because he thought it was expensive, but because he thought it was cheap.
He originally thought that this leather buckle would cost at least ten gold. Although the Han family of Yangwu is not considered a big family, they have seen good things. Before, he served as the governor of Jizhou, and brought back a few leather buckles, with a long-standing quality.
It's better to have this one, it costs tens of thousands of dollars.
He immediately asked about the situation in Youzhou.
Xinpi explained one by one.
After pacifying Liaodong, especially after defeating Goguryeo, Xun You used troops to Fuyu again, and he made Fuyu surrender without much effort. The reason why it was so smooth was that in addition to the strong armor and strong spears of the Han army, no one could do it, he also traded with each other.
It has a lot to do. The barbarians can obtain necessary daily necessities through the market, and they can also request to join the affiliation. If their children enter the Han school to study, they will have the opportunity to become officials in the Han area in the future. There are not many people who want to meet with the Han people.
That's it.
Even if there is, they are not opponents of the Han army.
The use of suppression and comforting was used in a few years, and the north of the desert was stable.
Although there were still barbarians who continued to move south, their number was limited and they would not gather in the northern desert, so they naturally could not pose a threat to the Han Dynasty.
After hearing this, Han Rong sighed quietly. "The opposite is the movement of Tao, and I will not deceive you."
Xinpi knew what Han Rong was talking about and nodded in agreement.
He has been in northern Xinjiang for several years and has a deeper feeling than Han Rong.
Before this, the Han Dynasty's attitude towards the northern barbarians was contradictory.
On the one hand, the Han people looked down on the barbarians and felt that they were not civilized and were not worthy of joining the Han people, so they strongly opposed the barbarians' entry into the Barbarians. On the other hand, in the face of increasing border pressure, the court officials also advocated comfort and hoped to give coins.
The marriage brides and other means to bribe the barbarians and let them guard the border for the Han Dynasty.
As a result, the great man spent a lot of money to fatten the barbarians, but the pressure on the border became greater and greater, and more barbarians lived in the Barbarians, and most of the borders of the three states of You and Liang were lost.
Whether to fight or to be harmonious, the Han people argued for a long time, and the policies were repeated many times, but in the end they could not find a solution.
However, this problem that has been struggling for more than a hundred years has been suddenly solved.
The solution is very simple, which is what Han Rong said about the opposite of the Tao, and uses the previous policies in reverse.
One hand comforts, educates, and the other hand toughs suppresses.
It seems no different from previous policies, with only one difference: technology and tactics, and Duta.
Advanced technology can create more advanced weapons, and training for generals at all levels will make soldiers more combat effectiveness. Dutian will give soldiers constant production and guarding the border will make sense, and no matter how hard it is, it can be tolerated.
At the same time, the enthusiasm of the soldiers also makes the training more effective.
With better weapons, higher tactical literacy and fighting will, three or five thousand soldiers were enough to defend the border. The entire Youyan Protectorate's Mansion was only 10,000 infantry and cavalry, and the military expenditure was not only not increased, but also less.
This greatly changed his attitude towards Du Tian.
"Han Gong, I heard that the Dutian in Yingchuan is not thorough enough yet?"
Han Rong turned to look at Xin Pi and sighed. "There is a lot of things, but the people's hearts are difficult."
"Who are there?"
"Those pedantic people don't mention them." Han Rong shook his head and didn't want to say more. "But it's been a few days. Although the Bohai moral politics has been firmly insisted, it has actually failed. There are not many people who have moved out now.
Yes, there are quite a few people who want to move back. But the fields have been divided, so there is no idle field to settle them. The counties are unwilling to accept them as naturalized, so they cannot return home.”
Han Rong sighed. "If I had known today, why should I have been there?"
Xinpi didn't say anything.
Although he was in the northern border, he had been in contact with Zhong Yao, Xun Chen and others. Naturally, he knew that the virtues and politics of Bohai were unsustainable, but he could not find the ending step.
This is also the reason why he rushed to see Han Rong when he heard that Han Rong had come to Wancheng.
Currently, there are only a few people who have enough qualifications and have no direct connection with the imperial court. There are only a few people who can speak in front of the emperor, and Han Rong is one of them.
