When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

"Work fast! Fast!"

Whips were lashing and crackling. Under the ice and snow, a group of shirtless grassland people were digging the frozen soil with great difficulty, and then building a city bit by bit.

Over the past few days, the armies of Yan State and its vassal states swept the surrounding areas again, and did not stop until the mountains were covered with snow.

After all, when it snows heavily, it becomes difficult to traverse the Doumao Mountains. Xinqu took advantage of this period to speed up the consumption of some grassland tribesmen and try to complete the construction of Dingbian County of Pingbei General's Mansion before the spring, leaving a certain foundation for the subsequent attack and defense to the west.

However, the north was still a little too cold. Many people from the grasslands, after a busy day, did not have much to eat or drink when they returned. Within half a month, hundreds of people died of exhaustion.

"Then, the post of General Pingbei will be held by Huan Si." Xin Qu flipped through the bamboo slips sent from below and placed them on the table. "The loss of slaves is a bit high. But these are the team of General Pingbei's mansion, and the foundation for a firm foothold in the future. Let's reduce the loss as much as possible."

Upon hearing this, Huan Si stood up, stepped forward, saluted, and expressed his gratitude.

Some generals were a little surprised that this woman, Huan Si, would be elected General Pingbei.

There is a bit of dissatisfaction revealed.

Xin Qu could see it, but he didn't care and said, "The other issue is food and grass. In the next three years, sufficient food and grass will be transported, but it will gradually decrease every year until it stops in the tenth year.

When it comes to business and herding, you are the most experienced elder in the tribe.

The other person is your husband. Ask him to help you contact the Dongyi people. The latest news from the south is that Zixun forcibly relocated more than a dozen feudal clans of the Dongyi Ying clan, which has aroused the Dongyi's vigilance and dissatisfaction.

It is estimated that Zixun will fight with the Dongyi tribes again in the next few years. If we contact them in advance, we can also get a group of men.

It doesn’t need to be too many, three to five hundred people above the level of minor officials will be enough.”

After hearing this, everyone understood why Xin Qu placed Huan Si here.

Huan Si, first of all, is of the Si surname; secondly, she is a woman; thirdly, her husband is of the Ying surname; fourthly, she is a member of the Qi clan, a noble family of the State of Yan; and fifthly, her own combat qualities and achievements are enough to qualify her as a general.

The descendants of the Xia Dynasty on this grassland will become the main force in reclamation. After all, the descendants of the Xia Dynasty who are controlled by the Jintian clan will be taken away by Xinqu, including the elders, adults and other nobles, leaving behind ordinary people and slaves to become the common people of the Bafu.

If they wanted to prevent the descendants of the Xia dynasty from rebelling, Huan Si's surname Si would be their greatest reliance.

But they couldn't just let Huansi become arrogant, so Ying Qi and later the State of Yan would also move a group of Dongyi naturalized people to the country to try to interfere as much as possible.

Finally, since Huansi is a woman, she has to stop most of her work once she becomes pregnant.

If necessary, she can be replaced under the pretext of showing compassion for her subordinates.

As long as she leaves, it will be difficult for Ying Qi to stay.

After all, Ying Qi was marrying into the family.

The fighting ability is not very good, the only thing he is good at is internal political management.

The two of them together can make one plus one greater than three, but as long as one of them leaves, the other will immediately become lame. What the Pingbei General's Mansion has to deal with is the long-term attacks from the nomadic tribes on the other side. Without someone strong enough to keep it under control, problems will easily arise.

Therefore, Huan Si could only serve as the General of Pingbei for ten years at most. Once he had achieved enough merits, he would have to return home to retire.

"Okay." Xin Qu saw Huan Si agreed, then looked at the others and said, "The Zongbo Mansion must also arrange people to spread the three laws. The Pingbei General's Mansion must be governed in accordance with the vassal state. As for the trading market, it will be set up in the Anxi General's Mansion.

When the General's Mansion of Pingbei has wiped out all the enemies around it, we will look for a suitable place to open a market."

After explaining all this, Xin Qu asked everyone to leave.

The territory and foundation have been laid, and everyone has become accustomed to Xinqu's system construction. The subsequent work is up to Huansi's own business.

He only looks at results.

After a few more days, the wind and snow stopped and the sun came out for a rare moment.

Xin Qu looked at the blue sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, the sound of fast horses came from outside the gate. He looked over and saw some horses carrying flags coming down: "Between 300 and 1,000 miles from the western foot of Doumao Mountain, there are 16 states and more than 40 tribes, large and small, with a total population of about 50,000.

In addition, between one thousand miles and three thousand miles, there are ninety states and one hundred and two tribes. Not all of them are subordinate to Jin Tianshi, but they have generally been looted by Jin Tianshi.

The Jin Tian clan used bronze weapons to bully them who were armed with bone and stone weapons. It was basically a one-sided massacre.

In addition, we have also found traces of descendants of the Jiuli and Lieshan tribes. However, their faces have changed, with deep eyes and high noses, but few have colored eyes, most have dark brown pupils, and some have black hair. This group of people was called "Sit^qia" by Jin Tianshi, meaning a branch of the Si surname.

Those without black hair and eyes were all slaves of the tribe, and were called "Sitqiahung," which means people lower than the Si clan, and only slightly higher than slaves without any Si clan bloodline.

After hearing this, Xin Qu raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "So, within a few thousand miles, there are nearly 500,000 people?"

If we draw a semicircle three thousand miles west of the Doumo Mountains, we will reach the Transoxiana region and the Fergana Basin.

Of course, there is no specific name for this place now, because there are tribes and countries everywhere.

It was the total population that surprised him.

"Yes, but I have also heard a piece of news." The man said with a serious expression, "Further northwest, about 5,000 miles away, a group of blond haired, blue-eyed barbarians who only eat human flesh appeared.

They were originally slaves or servants of these tribes.

But as some tribes split, they fled to the barbarian tribes, multiplied, and gradually controlled these barbarians.

Because the weather in the northwest was getting colder, the barbarian tribes moved down the mountains and plundered and killed fearlessly.

Jin Tianshi defeated these barbarians head-on and drove them into the mountains in the south, which is why he was followed and attracted the curiosity of these tribes.

Moreover, many of these people had heard from Jin Tianshi that there were countless foods, animal skins, and powerful warriors in the East, so they migrated here little by little.

Want to seek shelter or get a better living space. "

After listening to this, Xin Qu roughly understood who the so-called blond-haired and blue-eyed group was.

They must be the ancestors of old Europe, the Aryans. As for the ethnic groups that came with Jin Tianshi, they are roughly the ancestors of the Sai people who appeared in the Han Dynasty.

However, Jin Tianshi actually drove these people to the mountains in the south, which is most likely the Caucasus or Persian mountains.

This is consistent with the direction of Aryan spread.

There are too many mountains and it’s hard to find them, so we just rush over and let them fend for themselves.

However, there is also an access route to the Khyber Pass over there.

It is estimated that this group of people will multiply to a certain extent within a few hundred years and then enter the Indian subcontinent.

Xin Qu weighed the pros and cons, silently noted it down and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Now you can gather the information and then take a rest."

"I'm leaving now." The scout stood up and left.

After he left, Xin Qu thought for a while and looked at the blue sky: "It's still a bit too far, but... the Indian subcontinent should have a large population at this time, and the scale must be millions.

In addition, digging a canal requires a huge population. Just dredging the waterways of the Haihe River and the Yellow River is almost enough to suffocate the entire Yan State.

But the canal had to be dug, and then the swamps in central and northern Hebei had to be systematically cleared.

Otherwise, the water cannot be drained away, and the land will become salinized and not much crops can grow.

If there were one million people working for twenty years, they might be able to complete initial development and support a dynasty of tens of millions of people with the North China Plain as its core.

It’s just that the transportation is thousands of miles... and it requires a lot of people to do it.

Hmm...it seems like we have to hurry up and win over the nobles of Dayi Shang. After that, all those who are not obedient will be sent to the slave trade line to become feudal lords.

Those who are obedient will stay, and those who are disobedient will be killed.

It’s better than being stuck in the Central Plains.”

Xin Qu was thinking, he didn't know whether his plan would succeed.

But no matter what, at present, his power can still be projected within two thousand miles of the western foot of Doumao Mountain.

"Come here, send a message back to the country quickly. After the spring, I will go on a long expedition. At the same time, I will order the Xiongnu to take the Hexi Corridor and enter the Western Regions to cooperate in the pincer attack. In the summer of next year, I will hunt down the Jin Tian clan!"
