    They all let this matter put them under pressure, and there was a reason for this.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Because whenever there is an innovation, there will inevitably be commotion. If his mother interferes, it will give Li Wei a headache.  The trouble with water conservancy was something he didn't expect at all.  At most, I heard some people say that the bamboo and paper mills and mills had usurped the water.

    But there is another update to look at.

    The land of Yunshuo was also called Liuzhen in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

    After Li Wei returned, under the leadership of Daozhen, the remaining Turks gradually moved to the prairie north of Fangshan.

    Without the real intervention of Ashina Dao, coupled with the turmoil in Li Tang, it is very likely that all these Turks would have been captured by Gudu.  But Daozhen intervened. It is very likely that these tribes were close to the Central Plains, had received some favors from the Tang Dynasty, and continued to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.  It would be okay if they were destroyed by Gu Duo Lu's suppression.  But after surviving it, you have to continue to treat it with a graceful attitude, otherwise many other tribes will be afraid, and a series of bad things will happen one after another in the future.

    This ethnic policy is a continuation of the previous policy towards the Tugu River.

    Furthermore, they are also needed in the desert to prevent the Tiele people from becoming dominant.

    But relocation is very troublesome. Although it has little impact on them, they all live a nomadic life. The Diolun River and the Dule River have freed up a lot of space for them to nomadically.  There was a similar case before. Taizong asked Ashina Simo to move more than 100,000 tribes scattered in Xiayin, Henan and other places to the Great Wall and Hebei, and nominally governed the vast area from Yunshuo to Jialun River in Hebei.  This time Li Wei did it more thoroughly and drove them all to the north of Fangshan Mountain at once.

    Therefore, various measures were taken, including preferential treatment for the chiefs of various tribes and taking out a large number of horses, sheep and goats from the spoils of war and distributing them to the people of these tribes so that they could live a happy life on the grasslands.  But a lot happened, but the migration began.

    This process may continue until next spring or autumn.

    The vacuum areas that have been vacated must be filled up, otherwise the tribes behind will see a large number of vacuum areas appearing and think it is easier to survive, so they will stay and not leave.  Was it forced eviction?

    When he was still one day away from Chang'an City, Li Wei summoned all the prime ministers and important ministers and told the matter.

    As soon as he finished speaking, everyone except Wei Yuanzhong and Zhu Jingze, who knew the inside story, had very cautious expressions.

    Wei Zhigu murmured: "Your Majesty, there are six towns.

    This is almost a myth and an endorsement of the devil.  Six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty!

    "But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and Hu Ma is not taught to cross Chenshan."  No real Han dynasty could do this, only the Sinicized Xianbei regime in the Northern Wei Dynasty did it.  Since Tuobagui, the Northern Wei Dynasty has developed agriculture in the six towns of Yunshuo. It is very similar to the practice in Qinghai. There is agriculture, half agriculture, half animal husbandry, and animal husbandry.  Tuoba Gui went south to the Central Plains. Most of the food and property Tuoba Tao relied on to pacify the north came from Monan (bounded by the Great Gobi, including the East Gobi Province of Munding, the South Gobi Province, the Gobi Altai Province and the north of Erenhot in Inner Mongolia, my country). To the south is Mobei, to Monan, that is, to the north and south of Chenshan Mountain) and the animal husbandry and farming on Fortress.  Most of the troops are sourced from here.

    Later, six towns were established in the Northern Wei Dynasty in Woye, Huaishuo, Wuchuan, Fuming, Rouxuan, and Huaihuang (northeast of Wuyuan in Inner Mongolia, southwest of Guyang, west of Wuchuan, southwest of Siziwang Banner, northwest of Xinghe, and Zhangbei of Hebei).  These places are all at the mountain passes of Fangshan, and some strongholds have also been established at other mountain passes.  They stubbornly held back the southern invasion of the northern nomads, unable to take a single step across Langshan Mountain.

    On the contrary, from this piece of land, a straight line was formed, which made it easier to mobilize troops. The north made many attacks on the desert and defeated the Rouran, Gaoche and other tribes.

    It is very similar to the current Qinghai policy.

    But after the Northern Wei Dynasty shifted its focus to the south, it neglected the north. Without plunder, there would be no source of unexpected wealth.  The increase in population and natural disasters have made people's lives in distress.  Some mediocre generals served as town generals and only knew how to amass money and annex fertile land. Town households could only cultivate more than a dozen barren dry lands.  The ancestors of these town households all have a glorious history and have made military exploits for the empire. However, the empire did not pay attention to it. In the end, it actually regarded the six towns as Lingnan and moved the criminals to live with them.  Psychologically unbalanced.

    The invasion of Rouran people ignited the fuse of this contradiction.  The Northern Wei Dynasty sent Li Chong to lead an army of 150,000 to pursue the spear to no avail, which made the townspeople see the corruption and incompetence of the Northern Wei regime. Why are these useless people sitting on our heads to dominate us?  The massive Po Liuhanba and Ge Rong uprisings began.

    The uprising of the six towns brought countless heroes and devils out of the frontier wasteland, and broke the Six Han Dynasty. Ba Ling, Xian Yu Xiuli, Ge Rong, Gao Huan, Yu Wentai, He Ba brothers, Dugu Xin, Hou Jing Gao Gao was born  Huan family, Yuwentai family, Yang Jian family, Li Yuan family

    ?Without the six towns, there would be no Gao Qi, Yuwen Zhou, Sui and Tang.

    This is a myth and a legend, but as those who benefit immediately, Six Towns is also a devil and a hell.

    Even Pei Judao, who has mediocre talents, said worriedly: "Your Majesty, think twice."

    "Bring me the largest map" the eunuch next to Li Weiqi said.

    After careful screening and observation, it was after the Great Purge that Li Wei used a small number of eunuchs.

    But the longer-term policy will gradually reduce the proportion of eunuchs in the future, and instead use a large number of palace ladies. Except for a few useful female officials, most of these palace ladies are between the ages of twenty-five and thirty and will be sent home.  , this age is still too late to get married and have children.  In doing so, it also continuously brought vitality to Long An's harem and reduced the possibility of eunuch dictatorship.  The approach is also more humane.  The map was brought over.

    Li Wei hung it up and said: "Everyone think about the history of the Six Towns. Think about today's Qinghai and the Western Regions. Regardless of the production model, military combat effectiveness, glorious history, generals, etc., are they very similar to the early days of the Six Towns?  Similar? The six towns have problems, and Qinghai and the Western Region will also have problems in the future."

    A dozen important officials all frowned.

    After thinking about it carefully, they are really similar.

    "Let's take a look at the reasons why the citizens of the Six Towns revolted, the rebellion of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Well, if a country is rebellious, will the country last long without the Six Towns?"

    No one can answer.

    "I am also discriminating against the six towns. In the future, except for the reclamation areas set up by some criminals, I will not ban officials and criminals from being exiled to Lingnan and other places to avoid a sense of imbalance in the hearts of local people."

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Again no one answered.  But everyone was deep in thought.

    "But the most important thing is that the country cannot afford their safety. Instead, it needs tribute and taxes. The most barren land is cultivated and they cannot survive. Once the people cannot survive, how can we say that the six towns are the Central Plains? There is no such thing as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang  Zhang Jiao and his ilk? You can¡¯t worry if you use your own family to guard the northern gate. Do you need Ashina Gudulu, Ast Dewenbo and their like to guard the northern gate and don¡¯t feel at ease?¡±

    After finishing speaking, he glanced at everyone and saw many people¡¯s brows spreading, knowing that they were gradually changing their minds.

    "In fact, it is still a governance. Whether it is the Six Towns or Qinghai, the people must have land to cultivate and clothing to keep warm. Assimilate the aliens, popularize education, gradually change their customs, learn Chinese characters, and learn to speak Chinese, then the Six Towns are not  Devil. Otherwise, the people around us will not become our paradise. I will have to talk about this issue after the representatives of the major families arrive in Xijing. It is still a long way to go without talking about the six towns and the Western Region. I have discussed it with all ethnic groups.  After some negotiations, Yanmian in the front, and the demise of Geluolu and Chebishi in the back, a large amount of space was moved, and the land-for-land policy was used to move a narrow area from Suiye to Luntai and Jinman for us in the future.  Immigrants from the Central Plains are cultivating. There is still a lot of room for development, so there is no rush. But look at Qinghai not too much. Ten years later the fields will become tense. Unless the entire Qinghai is captured, it can be slowed down. However, Nuo  Daobo will eventually go back. Besides, Qinghai is not suitable for farming to the west with Chiling Yellow River as the line. It can only be half-cultivated and half-grazed in a few places. It is mixed with patches of cultivated land, integrated and connected. Tuyuhun, who is pro-Tang Dynasty, has something to do.  If possible, we can recruit troops urgently. That¡¯s the only way. But what happens after twenty years? It¡¯s difficult to survive, and there is a group of common people with strong fighting capabilities. What will happen?¡±

    A new six towns will be liable!

    "In the final analysis, it is still the same land. The more annexation there is, the more large households will be tax-free, and the small and medium-sized households will have meager incomes. The less land they have, they will bear more and more heavy taxes from the country. Without the six towns, the country will also be in crisis. Therefore.  , I did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to overhaul water conservancy and try to add some fertile farmland. Also, after the Tuyuhun people in Lingxia returned to Qinghai, they could free up some farmland, and a small amount of poor land and tenants in the north could also be relocated to reduce the pressure on the fields. In addition, there is  In the south, there are mostly a small number of barbarians, and production is backward. Many areas are engaged in slash-and-burn farming. The court is inconvenient to manage, and there are frequent chaos, which has become the weak point of the country. But isn't that so? In fact, some areas, such as the Yushui Basin in Lingnan, have sufficient water flow.  Gu, with strong sunshine and hot weather, is more suitable for planting than the north. Because of our negligence, it has become a barbaric place. Why is the south of the Yangtze River wet and stuffy? There are many marshes, and hot water vapor evaporates every day, making it difficult for humans to live. Once the swamps are reduced,  Is it so? Why are there galls in the south? There are few people, animals and plants die and rot, and poisonous gases evaporate and press on the surface, so breathing them is life-threatening. However, when more people live there, will there be galls? As for heat  , the Goths arrived here" He pointed to Spain: "It's also very hot there. The Goths are all barbarians in the north of Europe. Why can they survive? Would they rather starve to death than migrate to a beautiful place?  Local? Not so. Due to the restrictions of national tax policy, officials do not let people leave the state and county., a root-loving mentality.  The route to be moved is far away, and there is no subsidy from the court. It is impossible to reach it, and it is impossible to survive after arriving.  As long as we do some practical things, such as teaching barbarians to farm cattle, teach planting, and come out of the mountains and forests, the country will be able to obtain a long-term tax land in the future.  Or we can make some policies to encourage people to move to the south. Lingnan will be another big granary for our country.  How many people will be able to survive in this way?  "

    "I have said many times to prevent annexation. Then the imperial court can take some measures to increase the rate of cultivated land beyond the rate of annexation and population growth. If the land does not reach saturation, there will be no land pressure. There are even  There is still a way to go. Look here, everyone. The big islands in the South China Sea are all backward barbarians. I believe you will not ignore the people of the Central Plains and our subjects life and death. How can you talk about benevolence and morality with these barbarians? It's a big movie again.  The land is for us to cultivate. Not only that, if we cultivate it here" Pointing to the ocean, he said: "Going eastward, there are very few islands, and they are very small. It is difficult to leave from the two huge continents going eastward.  But as long as we Haike develop here and build a large number of supply points, we can continue to extend forward, explore some small islands, and build supply points one after another on them, and we can reach anywhere."

    "Your Majesty, please let me know what I say. The territory is vast and cannot be managed. Don't talk about overseas. If the people in the Central Plains are sparse, there will be turmoil." Wei Xuantong became bolder and expressed his thoughts.

    "Wei Qing's worries are justified. So I had a conversation with Di Qing and Wei Qing some time ago, and we talked about popularizing the study of objects. Of course, as a supplementary subject to popularize the study of objects, the development of the study of objects can develop many instruments that benefit the people.  We can even develop faster means of transportation, strengthen the cohesion of the empire, and improve management. And I have repeatedly said that popularizing schools will transform the common people and barbarians into kings, increase loyalty to the empire, and cultivate more people.  Talent. Separate military and political affairs, control and prevent the emergence of warlords."

    Most people don¡¯t know the inside story, and they frown upon hearing this. This requires some reforms, from education to the system.  But when I think about it, I feel relieved. Compared with the Luantai Feng Pavilion and the Seven Worshiping Temples of the Wu Family some time ago, these innovations are nothing.

    Li Wei added: "As long as the system is perfect, the chances of anything bad happening are better than tens of millions of people trapped in the two capitals with no clothes to wear and no land to farm. This is a gunpowder bag that can be ignited at any time."  Gunpowder that destroys nations.¡±

    "Even so, Your Majesty, those overseas" Wei Xuantong couldn't help but shook his head: "Lingnan may formulate some measures to strengthen management, but overseas"

    That¡¯s for the country¡¯s sake.  It cannot be taken seriously. Thousands of miles apart, there is simply no way to rule and manage the vast ocean.

    "It's still wrong. With the development of technology, the speed of ships will become faster and faster, and the load capacity of ships will become larger and larger. At least the places not far from us can be accommodated and managed by the court. And they are located in the sea, there is nothing else  Why can't we manage the interference of forces? I admit that I can't manage distant places. But if an envoy from a country comes to pay tribute from such a far away place, will everyone be happy? How many people will be moved depends on the court. If the country develops to 100 million  With a population of 1 trillion and no land to cultivate, should we let the people kill their children and sell their daughters? Why can't we move them humanely? It's like a strange country coming to pay tribute. Besides, we are born from the same roots, why not?"

    I have been holding these words in my heart for a long time, and I finally said them out today.

    The country is a bit cruel and conservative towards people of the same ethnic group abroad, but when the country is in trouble, these overseas Chinese often lend a helping hand.  Once they migrate far away, it is very likely that kingdoms will appear in distant places.  But they are all born from the same root. No matter how it develops in the future, the adsorption force is stronger than the centrifugal force.

    This is different from the United States. It is composed of immigrants from countless countries, large and small. Each suzerain country is small and has no adsorption power, so it is a country.  But at this time, we are awakening a thousand years in advance. These great areas will become the territory of the Chinese in a few hundred years.

    He continued: "Not only that, I am a little urgent, but there is one more thing. On which continent, there are several kinds of grains. They are very adapted to the arid terrain, and the yield is much higher than that of rice stamps, even up to ten times. Everyone, if  What effect will it have if you push it in?"

    "Your Majesty, what kind of food is it?" Pei Judao asked in surprise.

    If this is the case, it is not a small matter.

    "Well, there are several kinds. But you have also seen that further east, there are not many islands, and they are very small. Without clearing the channel and setting up supply points, the boat cannot reach anywhere. There are a large number of indigenous people living on them.  People, I only know where these kinds of food grow, and I don¡¯t know the specific location. Then a large number of troops must be sent, maybe five thousand, maybe ten thousand. Once they get there, they can resist the local indigenous people.  Only by being armed can they¡ª¡ª???Come back.  Once it is obtained and promoted, the food problem will be solved within five hundred years.  "

    This is of great significance. As long as one has enough to eat, who is willing to rebel?

    He then asked: ¡°So, are there any difficulties in the six towns?¡±

    Wei Zhigu thought deeply and said, "I'm afraid that the states, counties and wealthy families are not willing to let him go."
