    "Lord, there is good news from Liangzhou. Yanju Mansion's troops have successfully captured Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture, and joined Wei Zilin. Now, we have successfully connected the eight prefectures in the west of Liangzhou with Xiazhou  , so that our army can smoothly transport military supplies and the people's daily needs from Xiazhou to the west of Liangzhou," the government envoy Pei Yi reported with a smile on his face.

    Zhao Xun smiled and said: "It is not a problem for Yanju Prefecture's army to capture Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture. After all, in the land of Liangzhou, the western prefectures and counties have been abandoned by the Liangzhou Army. It is extremely barren.  The Liangzhou Army does not pay attention to it. Only Yanju Prefecture has become the key point for the Liangzhou Army to stop us. Once Yanju Prefecture is reached, all the counties in the west are already within their grasp.

    Pei Yi said: "My lord, Mr. Wei Zilin Wei asked us for help, hoping to move as many people as possible to the west to fill the shortage of Han people in the western prefectures and counties. I believe that we should take action on this matter as soon as possible and move our Han people to  There, we can not only stabilize our rule, but also lay a solid foundation for our army to attack the Western Region."

    "Populationpopulation" Zhao Xun also frowned secretly.  The Zhao army has expanded continuously in recent years, especially in the current territory of the Yan Kingdom, where it has expanded to three states and moved many Han people to supplement the territory. This has made the people everywhere relatively even, and few people have become  Landless refugees.  And when people have fields and homes, how can they easily leave their homes?  Zhao Xun did not want to use coercion.

    Furthermore, the prefectures and counties in western Liangzhou are located in the northwest and are relatively barren, so the people do not go far from their hometowns to build new homes in that bitter and cold land.  Therefore, Zhao Xun is also a little bit troublesome about this.

    Seeing Zhao Xun deep in thought, Pei Yi suggested: "My lord, if we launch a southern expedition now and attack the southern princes, especially the Yong army, we will surely gain a lot of landless people from the Yong army. Yong  There is no New Deal under the military rule, and there are so many landless people. Can we take advantage of this? "

    Lu Ziliang on the side shook his head and said: "No, at this moment our army suddenly goes south, which will definitely frighten the southern princes. Our army already occupied half of the country, if we attack further south, all the princes will definitely be trembled.  Aren't they afraid that our army has the intention of going south to attack the world? Once the feuding princes stop fighting, our original plan of using them to contain each other and attack the border will be miscalculated."

    "Let's not talk about anything else. Although Situ Lei is old and sick, he is not a good person. Once he stops attacking Murong Cheng and unites with other princes, it will be difficult for us to go south. I still follow my wishes.  The original plan was to kill Situ Lei first, reduce the pressure on the Yong army, force these princes to separate and rebel, and completely dismember the Yong army. If the strongest Yong army is divided, then the obstacle to our southward movement will be gone.  half."

    Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Now is indeed not a good time to send the army south. This Situ Lei is not an ordinary person. If he is pushed too hard, he will definitely join forces with Murong Cheng and others to unite the southern princes to fight against our army."

    Pei Yi frowned and said: "Situ Lei is willing to join forces with Murong Cheng, but Murong Cheng may not necessarily join forces with Situ Lei. In the past, the Qi Army, the largest prince in the world, has now been divided by the Tang Army, the Yanzhou Army and the Yong Army. Most of the territory has been divided.  How could Murong Cheng swallow this? Besides, the little emperor in Situ Lei's hands was also a major obstacle to Murong Cheng's rise to power. He was not willing to put another big mountain on his head once he joined forces with Situ Lei.  If you have to admit the identity of the little emperor in Situ Lei's hands, then Murong Chengke will really have no hope of ascending to the throne. "

    Situ Liang said solemnly: "What if Situ Lei is willing to depose the little emperor and make him disappear, or hand over the little emperor to Murong Cheng? In this case, will Murong Cheng agree to Situ Lei's alliance request? Or even,  Is Situ Lei willing to give up or return some of the benefits gained from the Qi army?"

    Pei Yi was startled and said, "That's very possible. However, this Situ Lei worked hard to establish a legitimate banner for himself, and he also worked hard to dig out a large piece of meat from Murong Cheng.  Situ Lei is willing to give up? In order to defeat Murong Cheng, Situ Lei has been fighting against him for decades. Now that he has finally changed a lot, how can Situ Lei be willing to give up? "

    Zhao Xun said with a smile: "If it were on normal days, Situ Lei would certainly not be willing to give in. If Situ Lei was still young and powerful, he would not be willing to give in. However, if my family moves south in a big way, given Situ Lei's current situation, he knows very well.  If he dies, his sons will not be able to lead the Yong army to stop our army. After all, if we don't give up, the Yong army will probably disappear.  The family will also perish by my hand.¡±

    Pei Yi couldn't help but sigh and said: "It seems that we can only wait until Situ Lei dies. However, fortunately, Situ Lei now has begun to consolidate the power of the states."??, preparing to pave the way for the new King Yong.  This shows that Situ Lei's time is running out.  If it doesn't take long, our plan will definitely come true.  "

    Zhao Xun smiled and said, "You are right. Now we have all the advantages in facing Yong's army. It's just a matter of waiting for a little longer. For this little time, I can still afford to wait.  Besides, I also hope that Situ Lei can hold on for a while longer, let us pacify Liangzhou, secure the Western Region, and at the same time let the southern princes fight to the death before we take action, wouldn't it be better."

    "By the way, if we want to relocate people, how many people need to be relocated? In this regard, can the Secretary for Civil Affairs have a big data?"

    Pei Yi said: "Reporting to your lord, if we want to completely stabilize the western provinces, we will need at least more than one million. It can even be said that the more the better. After all, we will continue to expand westward in the future. The western countries are at risk.  Not only has our trade been compromised, but we have also begun to seduce the foreign tribes and local powerful people in Liangzhou to rebel. We must conquer them with thunderous force, and they will not surrender easily if we don¡¯t let them know how powerful I am.¡±

    "A population of one million is indeed not a small number!" Zhao Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly.  Although there were tens of millions of people under Zhao Jun's rule, moving more than a million people to the west of Liangzhou was not a simple matter.  Even more troublesome than dispatching hundreds of thousands of troops.  After all, the army moves in a rational and orderly manner with strict rules.  But when people are relocated, they not only have to bear the necessities of their journey, but also are responsible for their settling down and their ability to survive in their new homes.

    Situ Liang smiled and said: "Lord, although the population of more than one million seems to be a lot, we do not have to move all at once. We can do it slowly and accumulate a little to make a big one."

    Zhao Xun paused and said with a smile: "I was confused, and was shocked by this data for a moment. Situ Liang is right, a population of more than one million is indeed a lot, but we do not want to move all at once.  As long as we do it slowly, more than a million people will be moved to Liangzhou sooner or later."

    Lu Ziliang also said seriously: "Now the princes in the south are fighting, and the people are displaced. There are not a few people who go north to rule our Zhao army. Although it is not suitable for the people in the eastern places to move to Liangzhou, it is still very promising for the people in Yong's army to move to Liangzhou.  If we can occupy all of Liangzhou, it will be the most convenient thing for us to move to Liangzhou. Now we need to take a detour to merge the states to Xiazhou and finally reach the west of Liangzhou."

    Situ Liang said: "If this were not the case, the land in the east of Liangzhou, Lingzhou Mansion near the east, has been captured by our Zhao army. The north and northwest are also the areas controlled by my family. We are surrounded on all sides. Without foreign aid,  The land of Liangzhou must not be defended for a long time. It should not be very difficult to capture Liangzhou. In addition, we can also use the troops stationed in the south of Bingzhou to intimidate Chang'an and Luoyang, and force the Yong army in Yongzhou and Chang'an.  Yong¡¯s army is not allowed to assist Liangzhou, so as to lay the foundation for us to capture Liangzhou as soon as possible.¡±

    Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it like this. Let the troops stationed in Bingzhou move around and train the soldiers. Then let someone be responsible for the relocation of the refugees, who will escape from Yong's army.  All the refugees will be moved to the west of Liangzhou. Otherwise, the Chief Affairs Department will send someone to take charge of this matter. Make sure nothing goes wrong. I will send people from the Supervision Department and the Eagle Eye Department to jointly inspect. Who dares to be there?  Anyone who is careless in this matter will be severely punished.¡±

    Lu Ziliang suddenly said: "My lord, since the majority of the refugees who fled under the rule of Yong's army are seeking to survive, why don't we send agents to Yongzhou and Yizhou to publicize the benefits of our rule under Zhao Jun, so that the people here will move north one after another. In this way, not only can we speed up the migration  Our plan to relocate the Han people can also weaken the Yong army and create trouble for Situ Lei. "

    Zhao Xun stroked his palm and smiled and said: "Yes, this is a good idea. We will send people to publicize it. We will increase the treatment for the Han people who migrate to the west of Liangzhou. In addition, the prefectures and counties in the west of Liangzhou will be exempted from tax for two years. And recently  Migrants of Han people will be exempted from taxes for three years to encourage Han people to migrate to Liangzhou."

    Pei Yi thought for a while and said: "My lord, I do have some suggestions. However, this suggestion will not be effective soon, but it will have a great effect in the future."

    Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Oh? But it doesn't matter. This matter is related to the safety of the entire western part of Zhao. It will not be completed in a short while. This requires a steady stream of influence."

    Pei Yi said in a deep voice: "Relocating the population is just to increase the number of Han people from the outside. Why don't we increase the number of Han people from the inside? The land in the west of Liangzhou is barren for people, but from the previous dynasty to the present, it has always been the land of our Han people. The former  Both the dynasty and the current dynasty had to relocate their population many times to fill the proportion of Han people and Hu Yi in the western prefectures of Liangzhou. Although we, the Han people, do not have the absolute upper hand, we still have half of them. "

    Zhao Xun gradually understood what Pei Yi meant, and suddenly said happily: "Then what's your suggestion?"

    Pei Yi said: "Let these Han people increase their population by themselves!"

    Lu Ziliang on the side suddenly realized: "I understand what Lord Pei means. Lord Pei means to encourage births and even reduce the births of Hu Yi foreigners."

    Pei Yi smiled and said: "Yes, that's what I mean. Since we want to increase the proportion of Han people, since we want to maintain the stable rule of our Han people in the western part of Liangzhou, it is essential for the Han people to occupy an absolute dominant position. How can we do this?  How about making the ratio reach the desired goal? Either our side will increase or the enemy¡¯s will decrease.¡±

    "It's easy to say that the easiest way to increase is to move people from other regions, but this is not something that can be done easily. If we were in the prosperous times, moving millions of people to Liangzhou would not be a problem at all, and we would not be able to do it easily."  We can afford the cost of relocating millions of people. But we are still in a period of war, and any accident may cause the relocation to be temporarily suspended or forced to stop."

    "The cheapest way to reduce the proportion of the enemy is to use force to solve the opponent. But massacre can only bring tyranny, which will have a great impact on our rule of western Liangzhou, and even our future attacks on the countries in the Western Regions, and our trade with the countries in the Western Regions.  Therefore, we need to adopt another approach that is gentle but has extraordinary effects.¡±

    "We can definitely encourage Han people to marry more wives and have more children. We can even reduce taxes and even give money and food to households that raise a certain number of children. But for foreigners living in the western prefectures, we must  To comply with the laws of Zhao Jun, they must be restricted from taking wives and concubines. Of course, the number cannot be explicitly limited, but their taxes can be increased based on the size of the population. Of course, the most important thing is their offspring, and certain restrictions must be imposed.  ¡±

    "In addition, we must immediately expand academies in the western counties to teach Han culture to foreign nationalities within the country. As for their descendants, they must also accept it. Otherwise, the western counties will not use them whether they are government officials or shops.  When the new generation grows up, not only will Han people have more newborns than foreigners, but the new generation of foreigners will also become Han people. "

    Situ Liang couldn't help but admired: "What a great idea. We are all blinded by the most superficial problems. Master Pei's move is a great kindness. Encouraging fertility and educating saints is also a very powerful method."

    Zhao Xun couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, these are very good methods. Send an order to Wei Zilin immediately and do as you say. No matter what, we have to work on both sides."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Since Li Chenfeng led his troops to join Wei Zilin, the land of the Five Prefectures in the northwest has become extremely stable.  At this moment, not to mention the small Tulun tribe, even if Gaochang Kingdom and other countries in the Western Regions came to kill them, Wei Zilin and others were not afraid.  Immediately, Wei Zilin wielded the butcher's knife again and carried out a bloody suppression of the powerful families who occupied a large amount of land and wealth in the western regions and the horse thieves who roamed the places.

    When Wei Zilin first took over the three northwest prefectures, although he also eliminated some local powerful people, these were all powerful people living in the city.  Wei Zilin did not directly take action against the powerful people who lived outside the city and built Wubao, as well as the foreign gathering places that did not comply with the jurisdiction of the local government.  For one thing, Wei Zilin needs to take over the local government as soon as possible and hopes that the local government can issue orders smoothly as soon as possible.  Secondly, Xue Qinglan did not have many troops at the beginning.

    But now, in the entire eight prefectures in western Liangzhou, more than 50,000 town troops, 30,000 local government soldiers, county soldiers, and township inspection departments have gathered for inspection.  At this moment, it is time to clean up the local tyrants.

    So, with the joint efforts of the town army, local government soldiers, and county soldiers, they solved the problem one by one.  This time, Wei Zilin's methods were more ruthless than before.  These local gatherings of powerful people and foreigners ignored the existence of the Liangzhou Military Mansion in the past.  Not only can they not contribute to the government, but they are a cancer that lives in the counties in western Liangzhou.

    The army is pressing down on the territory, who dares to resist?  Even the Tulum tribe with tens of thousands of troops was wiped out overnight, let alone them?  It was not that no one resisted in these powerful and foreign gatherings, but in the end, they all turned into corpses.

    In Wei Zilin¡¯s words, since you can¡¯t be used by me, then let¡¯s go to hell with the original Liangzhou Army.  In the end, Zhao Jun used his army to oppress openly and force these powerful men to surrender.  At the same time, they began to dispatch the experts from the Shadow Department and the Eagle Eye Department, as well as the strong men from the Zhao Army's scout team, to assassinate these powerful families.  After all, Wei Zilin didn't want all the private servants and tenants of these powerful families to die due to the war.  No matter what, it can also add a labor force to Zhao Jun's command of the western prefectures.  Also, those powerful families will encounter inexplicable things, either the whole family will be poisoned, or the whole family will die violently.

    ?Following this, the local government successfully accepted the private soldiers, tenants and property of those powerful families, and transferred the population andProperty is transported to local governments for unified disposal.  Most of these properties will be used on the people.

    "Subsequently, Wei Zilin received Zhao Xun's instructions and began to post instructions in various government offices.  Of course, on the surface, the Han people and the barbarians cannot be clearly distinguished directly.  But Wei Zilin borrowed it in order to increase the population of the western prefectures and prosper the place, so he encouraged births.  Although it was not explicitly pointed out, it was implicitly pointed at the Han people.  However, Hu Yi didn't care too much about things like taking wives and concubines.

    What worries Hu Yi is that the government posted a notice clearly stating that in Liangzhou, Han Chinese language is the official language. Anyone who can speak Chinese will have priority in recruiting soldiers, allocating fields, and receiving rewards from mountains.  Subsequently, businessmen from Zhao who had recently arrived in the western region also expressed that in the future, those who could recruit helpers and servants would be given priority to those who could speak Chinese.

    In this way, the Qiang Hu people, Xiyu Hu people, Turks, Tuguhun people, and Dangxiang people living in the counties in the west of Liangzhou began to be busy learning Chinese.  These foreigners living in Liangzhou are all mixed, but they all have the same thing. They are not very powerful among their respective ethnic groups, otherwise, they would not live in Han.

    Subsequently, a large number of academies of various levels were established in various prefectures and counties in western Liangzhou.  In this way, many scholars who have defected to Zhao Jun in recent years have been settled.  Under the rule of Zhao Jun, Mr. Shuyuan was also a member of the government yamen similar to an assistant official and a minor official, and his treatment was also very good.  In the western prefectures, the teachings of saints also began to spread.
