When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

For several days, Gui Xuesheng couldn't find Xin Qu.

A little anxious.

On the contrary, Gongzi Dian and Gongzi Wei are enjoying their current life very much.

Really, it’s just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, everything is new.

More importantly, the iron pan cooking in Yan State developed rapidly, and the handling and processing of food was improved to more than one level. In addition, the salt of Yan State, such as Baixue, had almost no bitterness, which made the taste of food even better.

As a result, they are even more reluctant to leave.

Anyway, they don't understand the rules of Yan State. If the other party is willing to treat them to good food and drink, why shouldn't they enjoy it?
It dragged on until the beginning of autumn.

Intelligence from the Central Plains battlefield has arrived.

Zixun launched a policy of searching mountains and burning forests in the Heluo area, wiping out all of Heluo's population of more than 100,000.

The Danshan Rong, Zhao clan, Qilong clan and other tribes all fled to Guanlong. Zixun also granted fiefs in Heluo and forced all the tribes friendly to the Shang clan to migrate westward.

The largest groups among them were the Youshen clan and the Wu clan. These tribes were granted fiefdoms in Puzhou and Lushi in later generations.

Then Lu Fu was granted the fiefdom in the upper reaches of Yiluo, replacing the area controlled by the local Hufang tribe.

The tribe of Hufang Yiluo was divided into two, one part was enfeoffed in the Nanyang Basin, and the other part was moved to Qi in Shandong to serve as a nail in the center of the Ying clan tribes.

Then the core area of ​​Heluo and the land of Henan were settled by tribes such as the Yousu clan who migrated south from Hebei.

The area where the Yellow River flows north was composed of the royal capital and the royal clan, while all the multi-son clans were enfeoffed to the north of Taihang Mountain and Jishui River to serve as the first and second lines of defense.

In this way, the chaos of the Qiang people was temporarily alleviated.

But not enough.

As winter was approaching, the merchants conducted exercises and training in the Luoyang area, preparing to continue their westward expedition next year.

Of course, Jian Di and his people also saw the opportunity and mobilized some nobles to attack the Taihang Basin along the Taihang Mountains.

Although Tufang resisted, he was still worried that Dayi Shang would take action, so he sent people to urge Gui Xuesheng and the two young masters who were always confused.

Got the news from the south.

Even though the two young masters drank happily every day, they were still frightened awake.

He quickly got up, stumbled to find Gui Xuesheng, and asked him what to do next.

As for the situation in the south, the various tribes of the Ji and Zhao clans suffered heavy losses. The merchants were really ruthless. They actually searched the mountains and burned the forests. Then they sealed off all the places near the mountains and let the nobles take their tribesmen and clansmen to attack those places.

If you don't fight, you have nowhere to go.

They also saw the names of several of the most fiercely fighting Shang Dynasty vassal states.

They are all from the Yan State Business Alliance.

Xinqu's military merit system is the main business promotion system within the business alliance.

Whichever tribe accepts this system will be able to obtain a certain amount of trading benefits.

Especially the support of agricultural technology.

Then, a bunch of nomadic farming, fishing and hunting tribes followed the example of Yan State and promoted the transformation of the military merit system. Although doing so might not necessarily make the tribe strong quickly, it could guarantee the interests of each leader's family.

Xinquzi feudalized and vassalized them in disguise.

But it also brought about a certain degree of legionization of tribal aristocrats. Each tribe became a war machine. If they wanted to turn things around, they had to conquer more land and slaves, and then free themselves from their original slave status.

Therefore, the people who were relocated to Heluo this time were the most frantic in killing. It can be said that Zixun was very good at diverting conflicts.

When Zhao learned that these people were members of the business alliance, he couldn't help but doubt the attitude of Yan State.

It's been several months.

They can't see Beibo, and the situation in the south is so chaotic. How can they go back and explain to the elders and fellow villagers of the Zhao family?

Seeing how they looked, Gui Xuesheng rubbed his brows and said, "I'll go ask the Honglu Temple again. You guys should clean up as soon as possible." After that, Gui Xuesheng rushed to the Honglu Temple.

Although Xin Qu has been traveling around, he has been staying in Datong for some time recently.

The Honglu Temple also has a team here.

After all, this is the front line for dealing with earthwork issues, and it is also the core of the border area between agriculture and animal husbandry. The sources of information are extensive, so we have to keep people here to deal with it.

Gui Xuesheng quickly told the official about his request for a meeting, and seeing that the official from the Honglu Temple was about to give him a perfunctory answer, he could not help but say angrily, "There has been a sudden change over there, and Bei Bo needs to make a decision personally. There is absolutely no room for delay. Otherwise, it will hurt the relationship."

Although the officials of the Honglu Temple were disdainful in their hearts, they still acted solemnly.

As soon as he left, the man sneered, "The South has undergone a dramatic change? No matter how dramatic it changes, how far can it go? Cooperation requires sincerity. The tariffs along the way are so high that the price of any slave is equivalent to the annual output of ten acres of land. No one would buy it."

"Let's let Bei Bo decide. We can't make the decision."

"Of course, the other party gave us a letter from the credible state. Please hurry and send it to Wuhuan County (now Xilin Gol). Beibo is presiding over the autumn hunt and holding an alliance with the thirty-six tribes of the Northern Rong there."

Today, the grasslands of Mobei and Modong are mainly divided between the Northern Di of the Donghu clan and the Western Rong of the Xiahou clan, while the 3,000 miles of land south of the desert from east to west is all the territory of the Yan State.

The State of Yan had only recently divided the grasslands south of the desert into three parts.

The Huns' grazing land from Ningxia to Ejina area, the Guifang grazing land between Ordos and Ulanqab, and the eastern grazing land directly managed by the Yan State.

But there is still a certain threat from the north.

These tribes were actually very ignorant and had mixed origins. After years of trade and sorting, as well as mutual attacks and annexations among the tribes, the nomadic tribes to the east that were friendly with the State of Yan gradually formed the Thirty-Six Northern Di tribes that participated in this alliance.

Of course, from now on, they will have a unified name, the Wuhuan vassal state.

A vassal state is an autonomous region.

In terms of customs, the State of Yan did not force them to accept its military system and ritual customs, but required them to receive its written education.

And they paid tribute directly to the State of Yan and provided troops.

The area under the jurisdiction of the Wuhuan vassal state extended from Xilingol in later generations to the Onon River in the north, to Tongliao in the east, and to Kharakorum in the west.

Basically, it is half of Outer Mongolia + the four leagues in eastern Mongolia and the Greater Khingan Range area in later generations.

Xinqu also knew that these places were not suitable for complete settlement after building a city, so he established commercial bases and then imitated the grassland limits he implemented in Datong to complete the evolution of the Zasak system in disguise.

The tribes were managed by these leaders, and the State of Yan protected the interests of their tribes.

But they must cooperate to determine the grassland area of ​​their tribe, and after the alliance, build a city in the center of each grassland as a trade center.

When grazing, the cattle were not allowed to cross the pasture of other tribes by more than ten miles. If they exceeded the limit, they would be beheaded as a warning to all the tribes, and they would also be taken to the city strongholds of all the tribes as a warning.

In this way, the areas controlled by the Wuhuan vassal states could be gradually stabilized, and then through conscription, their surplus tribesmen could be moved south to provide a continuous supply of hard-working and persevering combat power for the Yan State.

In addition, these nomadic tribes in the north that have just developed nomadic consciousness are actually mostly tribes from the eastern fishing and hunting areas, the northern nomadic areas, and the southern agricultural reclamation areas. Because of the overflow of local population, they had to go into the grasslands and deserts to make a living.

Now there is a big brother in the south who is willing to lead them, and this big brother is also very good at fighting, so they naturally come with pleasure and accept the enthronement and vassal state arrangements.

The eldest brother also arranged some technical skills for them, especially for orders for cattle and sheep. Yan State needed a large number of cattle, sheep and furs, and was willing to exchange them for millet.

The price is not cheap, but it lasts for a long time, allowing them to master the rotational grazing system as soon as possible and build cities at water nodes to prepare for future assimilation.

As for how long this order can last, it depends on how long Yan State’s combat effectiveness can be maintained.

But no matter what, Wuhuan is very lively now.

There were people dancing everywhere.

Wearing tattered animal skins, even if he was a noble leader, he would only wear this year's newly cut animal skin clothes in front of Xinqu, smelling of mutton, and looking like a sheepskin man.

The smoke was so strong that it stung Xinqu's eyes.

However, he still gave them robes and horse-shaped seals one by one, officially confirming that one of their tasks was to raise horses for the State of Yan. (End of this chapter)
