Ma Yun rolled her eyes. (.Pure text) said angrily: "I can't even speak. What is cultural invasion? What I mean is cultural poverty alleviation, okay?"
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Yes, yes. Cultural poverty alleviation. Cultural poverty alleviation. Knowledge is power. Knowledge is life. Knowledge is money. We impart knowledge to them. Isn't that helping them in poverty? Haha. Haha... "
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism", Confucianism has long been transformed into a tool to maintain the imperial rule. Let the Han people and other ethnic minorities in Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan and other counties learn Confucian culture. Isn't it just to let them learn about Confucian culture? Is the emperor of the Han Dynasty in awe? Ma Yun's move is indeed too clever.
Ma Yun shook her head and said, "This alone is not enough."[
Liu Xin knew that she must have a new countermeasure. She quickly asked: "It's not enough. What else needs to be done?"
"Immigration." Ma Yun said without hesitation. "Now, in the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan, the Han people only account for a small minority. In order to consolidate the rule of the Han there, the only choice is to continue to immigrate and let the Han people become the majority. Let other ethnic groups truly become minorities. However, this time the immigrants must be real immigrants, not just a few criminals and exiled there."
In fact, not only the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan, but also the Han people in many other places in Jiaozhou. Except for a small number of officials appointed by the imperial court, most of them are prisoners who were exiled for various reasons. I hope it will be updated as soon as possible. It is indeed unrealistic for these prisoners to be loyal to the Han Dynasty. No wonder the rebellion continues.
Of course Liu Xin understood what Ma Yun meant. After thinking about it, she suddenly said: "Large-scale immigration will inevitably break the muscles and bones. I thought of a better way. It was mentioned in the battle report sent back by Zhang Fei. Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan has a vast territory and is sparsely populated. There are still many places that have not been cultivated. It should be very suitable for growing rice. You should be aware of this. Let us take advantage of this now to carry out farming in Jiaozhi and other three counties."
Ma Yun muttered: "Tuntian is a solution. I just don't know if you plan to build a civilian or military settlement."
"Junjun." Liu Xin said without hesitation. "The lives of the people everywhere have just stabilized. It is the time to accumulate strength to prepare for the Northern Expedition. It is not appropriate to start the winter recruitment in advance. I plan to recruit 100,000 people to go to Jiaozhi. Jiuzhen, Japan launched military garrison."
Ma Yun was not opposed to the method of farming. But after all, the effect of farming was not as good as immigration. She couldn't help but said: "Iron-made camps and flowing soldiers. This method is not a long-term solution."
Liu Xin confidently said: "I have a way to let them take root there. The soldiers participating in the field can not only receive food and salary allocated by the court, but also enjoy half of the harvest in the field. Then let them marry local girls as wives. Officers above the rank of captain must take local women as concubines. In this way, I sent 100,000 field soldiers, which is equivalent to 200,000 more Han people. In a few years, they will give birth to children, and the Han army will continue. grow."
Ma Yun thought for a moment and said, "What if the local women are unwilling to marry them? Wouldn't your plan be in vain?"
Liu Xin put her hands on her hands and said with a smile: "This situation cannot happen. Not to mention the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Rinan. Even the entire Jiaozhou is very poor. The soldiers we sent there are equal to double pay. In the local area, they are absolutely You can be considered a rich man. It’s not a big deal to marry as many wives as you want.”
Ma Yun said reluctantly: "But have you ever thought about the fact that all the foreign women are married to your soldiers? What will those foreign men who can't marry a wife think and do. I'm afraid there will be big trouble by then. "
Liu Xin said without hesitation: "Isn't it just right that those foreign men can't get wives? Then there will be more and more Han people and fewer and fewer foreigners. Isn't this exactly what we need? Don't worry. This kind of I will only use this method in two places. One is in Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Ninan to deal with those unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. The other is the island country on the other side of the sea. You know."
"In that case, I won't say anything more. However, just in case, the soldiers in the field cannot relax their training." Ma Yun thought for a while, but did not continue to insist. She changed the topic and said, "In Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, what Nichinan established can only be called Confucianism. It is still different from the school we originally envisioned. I think it is better to pick two places to pilot it."
Liu Xin hesitated for a moment and said: "Let's do this. I'll start with two places, Xiangyang and Chang'an. The conditions in Xiangyang are ready. We can start a pilot school right away. There is no problem with teachers. Chang'an is still under construction. By the way, I will give way to Xiangyang. If Lang makes some changes and builds the school together, we can save a lot of money."
Ma Yun covered her mouth and laughed. Please come to more and faster chapters. She said: "I know you can't bear the money bag. In this way, it is not equivalent to setting up a place for pilot. And it is the best The easy part. Forget it. I won’t argue with you. That’s it.”
This year's winter recruitment is a full month earlier than in previous years. The number of people recruited is also much larger than in previous years. A total of 160,000 people. And they are organized into two separate legions. One is stationed in Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan. The Reclamation Corps has recruited a total of 100,000 people, and it is limited to Han people. The other is the Western Region Army, which has recruited a total of 60,000 people. The scope of recruitment is not limited to Han people. Not only barbarians, Qiang people, and Huns can report for recruitment. Even foreigners from Jiaozhou can apply.
In the area under Liu Xinye, please read more and faster chapters. Soldiers are not only well-paid and well-paid, but also very respected. Every year, the recruitment office is overcrowded. This year is no exception. Like previous years, the recruitment quota is also determined by The Ministry of War made calculations and assigned them to each county. Recruits who passed the review gradually arrived at the training center in the western suburbs of Xiangyang.
Needless to say, the Western Region Army. They will undergo intensive training here for half a year. The difference between this army and other armies is that it will be stationed exclusively in the Western Region. In addition to various military stations on the Silk Road, there are also Uzbeli, The two fortresses of Turugelt and Seoul will be the focus of their defense. However, Liu Xin does not want them to take root in the Western Region. Therefore, the arrangement adopts a rotation policy. Please come to more and faster chapters. The entire Western Region Army has 60,000 people. Everyone will get three months of leave and one month of intensive training time every year. At other times, they will be stationed in the Western Region. In other words, under normal circumstances, there will only be 40,000 people stationed in the Western Region Army. There, the remaining 20,000 people were either on vacation or training. Liu Xin did this to prevent the soldiers from being away from home for a long time and causing all kinds of anxiety caused by homesickness.
The Agricultural Reclamation Corps is different. They are to take root in Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan and other places. They are in a semi-military state. In addition to basic military skills, their training also includes various farm work. Of course, these Most of the recruits come from rural areas. Many of them are already good at farm work. It does not require much effort.[
In order to be able to catch up with next year's spring plowing, the Agricultural Reclamation Corps went through a month's short training. On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, they embarked on a journey to the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan. Because they are not a front-line combat unit, the combat missions are not even as good as local ones. Army. Therefore, the equipment of the Farm Reclamation Corps is relatively simple. They wear old-style clothes and armor that have been phased out by the Han Army. The weapons in their hands are ring-headed knives and spears. However, the Farm Reclamation Corps also has many other equipment, such as various farm tools. .There are also cattle and seeds.
Along with the Reclamation Corps, there was also a group of Confucian scholars drawn from various counties and counties. Many of these Confucian scholars participated in this year's imperial examination. However, their Confucianism did not meet Liu Xin's requirements for talent selection. Basically, all of them They failed the ranking. Now, Liu Xin gave them another opportunity to serve the country. Let them go to Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan counties to promote Confucianism.
For Confucian scholars, having the opportunity to preach Confucianism is a dream come true. No one will give up easily. But this time, they are going to the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan to preach Confucianism. And as soon as they go, they will Three years really put these Confucian scholars in a dilemma.
This situation had been expected by Liu Xin for a long time. But Liu Xin was sure to convince them. What is the purpose of Confucian students studying? Isn't it to be able to become an official? Of course, it is not ruled out that a few people want to become a great Confucian. But that is after all. Non-mainstream. The vast majority of people still hope to enter the official career one day. Today's officials mainly come from the gentry class. Many wealthy and humble students may not have the opportunity to enter the official career in their lifetime.
Liu Xin created the imperial examination and gave poor students a chance. However, the number of places was limited, and they had to compete with the children of the gentry. It was too difficult. But this time, Liu Xin offered them "preferential conditions." As long as they have worked in Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Rinan counties for three years, they will be assigned a position. If they do well, they can directly serve as county magistrate or even county magistrate or chief historian.
This condition is absolutely favorable. However, most of the gentry children still do not take it seriously. Therefore, those who sign up are basically poor students who are difficult to enter the officialdom. However, this is exactly what Liu Xin wants. After all, places like Jiaozhi still belong to the It is an uncivilized barbarian land. The children of the gentry who have been accustomed to a comfortable life with clothes to stretch out their hands and food to open their mouths will definitely not be able to adapt to the life there. Only these Confucian scholars who come from poor backgrounds and want to change the status quo through their own efforts can. It's possible to stick with it.
One hundred thousand soldiers from the Reclamation Corps and 300 Confucian scholars from poor families set out on the road to Jiaozhi. It was a long way and they all walked on two legs. It would take at least a month to get there. Fortunately, Zhang Fei, Zhang He and the other four None of the road troops and horses have evacuated, and local armies from various counties in Jiaozhou are also being formed. There will not be any danger.
However, when the Agricultural Reclamation Corps arrived in Jiaozhi, they encountered even greater trouble.
