Chapter 389 The Great Han and Hu Common Prosperity

On the northern border of the Han Dynasty, there lived many nomadic peoples, among which the Xianbei was undoubtedly the largest, followed by the Xiongnu and Wuhuan.

Of course, most of the other ethnic groups have been almost expelled or merged by the Xianbei ethnic groups, but it does not mean that they do not exist. There will be all kinds of grassland peoples. In a sense, these grassland peoples have invaded China almost throughout the entire history of China's development.

From a certain point of view, these nomads are an important obstacle to the economic development of the Han Dynasty.

But if you change the angle, or change the way of operation, from the perspective of business, these prairie people may also become the best slaves to support the prosperity and stability of the Han Dynasty.

They will continue to provide fresh blood for the Han Dynasty.

Especially fresh beef and mutton and various crops, as well as excellent horses.

The life of the nomads in the grasslands is actually very difficult, and if you add up the population of all the tribes of the Huns, Xianbei, and Wuhuan, it may be one-tenth of the Han people, even if it is the later Rouran, Turkic , Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolian ethnic groups have always been relatively small compared to the Han people, but their fighting ability has always caused headaches for the Central Plains people. The key is that they belong to the half-cultivating and half-nomadic people .

There is a saying that troublesome people come out of poor mountains and bad waters. This sentence is most suitable for these prairie people.

Because they don't have a good living environment, they are always moving, and because they don't have a stable living environment, they are always sharpening themselves.

When the people of the Central Plains kept inventing and creating, constantly improving their lives, and constantly developing their trade and economy, these prairie people devoted their energy to such violent things as how to rob, how to invade, and how to improve the quality of individual combat.

Do you think they can be strong?

The environment is the first element in shaping their sturdy folk customs.

Therefore, Liu Jian formulated a very detailed strategy plan for the nomadic people in the north of the Han Dynasty.

If you want to turn these prairie people from threats to fresh blood supporting the Han Dynasty, and form a virtuous circle between the Han Dynasty and the grassland aliens, you need to start from the source.

That is to change their living environment.

It's shameless to say it, but Liu Jian is actually doing it for their own good.

People are lazy, and once this inertia is formed, it is basically impossible for you to change it and let him live a hard-working life again.

Earthen houses and kangs are a good start.

Among the nomadic tribes in the north, the earthen huts and kangs are widely promoted, so that they can survive every warm winter from now on, and will not die because of the cold winter...

However, the government of the Han Dynasty strangled the supply of coal. Without coal, all the earthen huts and kangs were worthless and useless.

However, if you let the nomads who have experienced the kang and heating in winter abandon the kang, and then live the life of shivering in the cold winter and facing the danger of freezing to death in every cold winter, are they willing to go there?
It's impossible for Liu Jian to guarantee with his own head!
As long as they are not mentally ill, they will never accept this regression!

In this way, the source of everything is opened.

With houses and heated kangs, for the nomads, their living quarters are basically fixed.

After all, this house and the kang are their life-saving residences in winter. Even for this house, they can no longer move wherever they go, and just set up a tent to sleep wherever they go.

However, with a fixed residence, you also have to find some livelihood for them, otherwise they will continue to migrate nomadicly without a livelihood.

And Liu Jian has already found something for them to do, that is, farm animal husbandry and wheat planting.

"Qimin Yaoshu" has begun to be widely distributed in Han territory, and every year it will be revised and updated with experience, and a better version will be republished.

Through the experience exchange of "Qi Min Yao Shu" and the vigorous promotion of various livelihood industries, the experience and skills of the self-cultivating farmers in Dahan have improved by leaps and bounds.

The agricultural development of the Han Dynasty is now progressing in an all-round and three-dimensional way!

With progress, there will be innovation naturally. After all, as long as the suitable soil is given enough, yellow people are famous all over the world for their talent in updating technology and iterative invention.

The grassroots agricultural technology of the Han Dynasty was therefore at the forefront of the times.

With the current agricultural level of the Han people, it can be said that it is very easy to support the agriculture of these nomadic peoples in the north. It is enough to pass on [-]% of the experience and skills of the Han people in planting crops to these nomadic peoples. This enables them to support themselves locally.

Of course, in terms of animal husbandry, the homeless people have their own unique advantages. After all, the grassland they occupy is rich in water and grass.

Once they were able to build pastures, the cattle and sheep on the plateau grassland north of the Han Dynasty would surely gather in groups in the future, and the meat production would also double.

With a house, a kang, wheat to grow, and a lot of cattle and sheep as private property, what will these nomads in the north do next?
Very simple, they will start to build the earth city!
The original nomads were barefoot and were not afraid to wear boots, because they had no so-called private property, and they walked everywhere, using the sky as their quilt and their status as a bed. How could they not live?

But once they have a house, a field, a pasture, and a lot of personal belongings... If they still go out and nomad as before, will these things become someone else's?
From the perspective of a normal person, it is absolutely impossible to continue walking and nomadic!

It is the scariest thing when a person has nothing, but once they have more things, they will be completely bound by these private properties and lose their blood!
Liu Jian estimates that in a few decades, primitive city-states will gradually appear on the grassland one after another. They herd horses, herd sheep, and reclaim land. I will work hard, work hard on farming and grazing during the day, and start working hard to make children at night when the lights are blown.

What a peaceful place!

Now that the nomads in the north have their homeland, how will they get along with the Han Dynasty next?

It's very simple, everyone opens up the mutual market to do business.

Then how should this business be done?

It's very simple, everyone needs to exchange for what each other lacks.

What do people on the grassland have?

There are the wheat grains that they worked so hard to grow, and the cattle, sheep and horses they graze on the pasture from morning till night...

The problem is, these things were also available in the Han Dynasty, nothing new.

What did the people of the Han Dynasty have?

In addition to wheat, cattle, sheep and horses, the Han Dynasty also had graphite coal, high-grade ironware, and various metal products produced in mining areas for construction and industrial refining.

There are also beautiful Qingzhou silks and satins, fine wine, tea, lacquerware, Jiangdong plows that can help you reclaim more land, and excellent breeding cattle that can make your cattle stronger...

And solid wood furniture!What kind of Eight Immortals table, Taishi chair, rocking chair.

What waterwheels, books, rouge and gouache?

There will be various seasonings in the future...

After the iron mines in various places are developed by Liu Jian, there will still be iron pots, iron shovels, etc...

There are also all kinds of "luxury cars"!artwork!Porcelain, porcelain!
There are even Chinese herbal medicines that can cure various diseases.

In short, there are all kinds of things, all kinds of high-end products, everything that one expects to find!
On the other hand, the prairie people seem to have nothing except food, cattle and sheep.

How to change this?

Alas, there is no way, you have few things, so you have to change them. Our people in the Han Dynasty are kind, so we should try our best to accommodate you.

We can take a catty of coal and exchange you a sheep.

We can give you a brocade cloth in exchange for a horse.

We can take a "luxury car" and exchange it for twenty or thirty cows.

……

Why do you change it like this?Based on what?

according to?

The basis is that what you have, we all have.

What we have, you don't have.

It would be nice if we could trade with you.

What is the basis for it?

The aliens in the grassland said, but we don't have so many cattle, sheep and horses!
Then you won't work harder to raise more cattle, sheep and horses, and grow more grain in exchange for us?

The prairie man said: But we worked so hard from dawn to dusk, and even the cattle, sheep and horses we got were not enough to trade with you.

Let’s do this, if we don’t have enough supplies, you can provide labor.

There are many projects to be done in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

What are digging the Grand Canal, expanding the city, building palaces, building dams, water conservancy projects...

We Han Dynasty people can't do it by ourselves. We Han Dynasty people need to pay lightly, but we still need someone to do these jobs...

Otherwise, it will be cheaper for you, so you can come to us to work!
Sell ​​some stamina and wrists, and you can bring a lot of good things back to the tribe later.

Well, that's it!
If you don't want to do physical work.

It is also possible to be a leader!
We big men are in a civil war right now.

Soldiers are needed here in Hebei. Your young and strong can come to join the army and fight!
And we are not only going to wage a war to unify the country, we will fight in many places in the future, and we may even fight in Daqin!
Don't know where Daqin is?It doesn't matter, if you follow along to fight, you will know?
……

Develop a wonderful, harmonious and great co-prosperity sphere of the Han Dynasty!
The prosperity of the Han Dynasty is inseparable from the help of you aliens!
Who said that the minds of people who are not of our race must be different?

Those who are not of my race have a loyal heart!

The Great Han Dynasty will never forget your sacrifices!

Tea, coal, large frying pans, fine wine, brocade, beautiful clothes, furniture, luxury cars, etc., will be fully provided for you at that time!
By the way, there are also a lot of our Confucian cultural books, sell them to you at a lower price, and read them to your children when you go back.

These days, no matter how hard or tired you are, you can't suffer children.

Learning must keep up!
Just take it back to the tribe and pretend to be cool.

……

……

The above is not just a plan, but has already begun to be implemented in northern Xinjiang.

After those alien envoys went back, facing their leaders and people, they found that it seemed that the current situation had to be done according to Liu Jian's design.

Pandora's box has been opened, and it is impossible for anyone to go against the trend of the times.

Who dares to disobey?
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Qu Yi's people went to teach him how to be a man!

……

In the first year of Xingping, Liu Jian suddenly received another news that tens of thousands of Tai students in Chang'an and Luoyang suddenly acted collectively after orderly planning.

They besieged the official office, marched in the streets, blocked the official office and various main roads, strongly protested, and demanded the abolition of the imperial examination and the restoration of the ancestral system.

After Liu Jian heard the news, he was very sad.

To be honest, compared to the aliens in the northern border, our own family in the Han Dynasty is more difficult to deal with.

However, these things were more or less within Liu Jian's expectations.

What can't be broken can't be built. In a sense, these Tai students are the vested interests of the prosecution system.

Since they are aware of the vested interests, it is naturally impossible for them to give up their interests easily for others to seize.

What Liu Jian didn't expect was that in order to deal with this matter, Dong Zhuo actually sent Lu Bu to lead the headquarters of the Bingzhou Army to Luoyang to appease him!

Said it was appeasement, but Liu Jian understood that it was actually suppression!
After hearing the news, the first thought that popped into Liu Jian's mind was:
Dong Zhuo, this time, I am afraid that he will cause a big disaster.
