When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Xi Dagu burped, his face flushed with helplessness: "I don't want to get involved in their mess.

But there is no way, who can't find the right person to mediate?

The White Sushen have joined forces with the Mo Clan. If I hadn't sent troops to stop them, I don't know where the wild Sushen would have been driven to. "

"Heishuibin," Xin Qu said casually, "I have a batch of black cloth here, which was dyed recently. Find a chance to sell it to those wild Sushen.

Tell them that they can only ask you for mediation if they wear black clothes, and they are not allowed to attack each other after wearing black clothes.

Also, find opportunities to allow the Black-robed Sushen to intermarry.

I will get a batch of high-quality polished stone weapons to sell to you later. Remember, I only want white slaves."

"You kid..." Xi Dagu shuddered and looked at Xin Qu, "Aren't you afraid of creating a black-clad Sushen in the Northeast?"

"We want to deal with the Black Sushen." Xin Qu smiled, "You occupy Changbai Mountain for me. They can do whatever they want with the rest. Remember, Changbai Mountain is the most important. The rest of the northeast has not been developed, so people can only fish, hunt and live a nomadic life. The deer herds there are hundreds of times more than those in the south. The wild Sushen only have a few people, but they can fight back and forth with the White Sushen and the Mo family. This explains the problem.

What the Black Sushen lack now is nothing more than identity recognition. I will help them to gain this recognition. In the short term, just don’t let it affect my efforts to resolve the problems in the Central Plains.”

Xi Dagu pondered for a moment. Xin Qu's words just now sobered him up a little.

Now that I think about it, it’s true. Once everyone is wearing black, he can also take action.

"So how does the Mo family solve it?"

"They?" Xin Qu raised his eyebrows. "They won't be able to survive for many days. I have ordered the generals of Zhenzhong and the vassal states of Wuhuan to block the gap in Daxing'anling.

Even if you block Changbai Mountain and Liaodong, no matter whether it is the White-clothed Sushen, the Wild Sushen, or the Mo family, the only way out is to slowly conquer the Northeast.

When the White Sushen becomes weak, they will naturally send people to ask for help. At that time, I will let the General's Mansion in Zhenzhong do business with them. You will be responsible for dealing with the Black Sushen, and then we can slowly annex them.

At this stage, we should use barbarians to control barbarians.”

"Okay." Si Dagu agreed. Using barbarians to control barbarians is indeed the most cost-effective method.

Xin Qu personally made a trip to the northwest and came back. Apart from the population, he didn't make much money from other resources, and it was extremely tiring, so he also discovered that raising an army on an expedition was not as easy as it seemed.

Therefore, he changed his strategy, focusing on the Central Plains, and then tried his best to use the barbarians to control the barbarians in all directions. In short, it must not affect his strategy and conquest of the core area in the south.

After all, although there are many Sushen tribes now, in fact, the total population of the entire Inner and Outer Northeast is only about 150,000 or 160,000. The area is vast and the population is sparse, so there is not much to be gained from fighting.

It would be better to let them split up internally and compete with each other. When one side is found to be out of control, troops should be sent to destroy it immediately, and the population should be abducted back to the Central Plains to fill the development gap.

Of course, during this period, sustainability is the key.

Taking Changbai Mountain by force would not only cut off the connection between the Korean Peninsula's tribes and the north, but more importantly, it would be possible to use Changbai Mountain to rehabilitate some defeated tribes.

Xinqu will arrange people to contact these tribes, and some people will choose to surrender.

Moreover, these tribes can be driven back to the Northeast Plain when necessary, or they can be used as targets to require the Sushen tribes that cooperate with Yan State to go into the mountains to hunt these mountain tribes, and use the mountains to consume these cooperative Sushen tribes.

Pulling and fighting are the keys to stabilizing the situation.

In short, now that the idea is in place, the execution is left to the majority of shareholders.

I believe he will support it.

Seeing that he agreed, Xin Qu smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "The position of Liaodong County Governor is now handed over to you. If you can conquer the Changbai Mountains, I will arrange a position for Si Yan as Xuantu Governor. He has been writing to the emperor recently saying that there is no war in the south and he wants to move to another place. You should take him with you and resolve the division between the Black and White Sushen as soon as possible."

"Okay." When Si Dagu heard this, he was also very satisfied.

It’s all for the status of their own family.

A county governor, a fifth-rank official, was a transcendent being in terms of both salary and status. The title of nobility alone was very particular.

Without a viscount, one would be embarrassed to serve as a county governor.

Xin Qu nodded and said, "Oh, Wu Mi is not planning to come, right? Then leave him alone and give him the books of the five counties of Lelang, Lintun, Zhenfan, Xiongjin and Qingsang.

That place was called Mozhou from then on.

When he is free, come in person, and I will give him the post of governor of Mozhou."

In the State of Yan, the governor of a province was a local official of the third rank and a true frontier official.

The key point is that a provincial governor has an annual income of 2,000 shi of millet.

I think this official position is enough to make Wu Mi excited.

Recently, Wu Mi has been living his own life behind closed doors, guarding Pyongyang, blocking the Yalu River, and rarely contacting the State of Yan, not even sending a single letter. Xin Qu has been away for three years, and no one knows how he is doing.

This time, Lian Si Dagu came back, but Wu Mi was indifferent. No wonder Xin Qu tried to find a way to get him to come and see him.

In short, the bait has been put out, there is no reason for the mire not to come.

As long as you recognize the boss, you can get 2,000 shi of corn for free, and this is given every year. There is no reason not to come and meet him.

At least, Xi Dagu was moved by what he heard.

"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Si Dagu nodded, "However, Wu Mi blocked the trade route last year, and the amount of slave trade has dropped significantly. I heard that it's because all the slaves that can be divided there have been captured.

If the trade continued, he was afraid that mergers would begin among the lower levels.

If he comes, and you ask him to trade with you, I'm afraid he won't agree."

"Is that so?" Xin Qu stroked his chin, secretly calculating for a moment and said, "So, in the past seven or eight years, the number of people trading between Mozhou and the outside world has reached nearly 50,000?"

Si Dagu thought for a moment, then looked at Xin Qu in surprise: "More than enough, but how did you know? As I recall, most of the slaves in Mozhou were divided among the Liaodong princes, and few were transported to Beiping."

"How many people can Mozhou have? The Northeast north of Liaodong County is so big, but there are only about 150,000 or 160,000 people. This is the maximum number that Mozhou can have." Xin Qu curled his lips. He still had some concerns about the productivity of the Northeast.

The Korean Peninsula has some value because of its longitude and latitude and the continuous coastal plains that can be used for fishing, hunting and farming, but in fact, the population sizes on both sides were basically the same before they were developed.

Therefore, Xin Qu made a quick calculation and found that if the population of the Korean Peninsula fell below 100,000, then there would be no need to think about further development, because the local slaves had been basically squeezed dry. If the population trade continued, it would not only affect the luxurious life of the nobles, but even the population needed for the development of the local area by the middle and lower nobles would be affected.

At that time, they will have no choice but to annex and go to war with each other.

Otherwise, if all the soldiers go to work in the fields and cannot even take a break from work, how can we guarantee that they will not be threatened?

Especially, the giant Yan State is right next to it.

Soon, the banquet was over.

As Xin Qu walked, he saw the moon in the sky. It appeared in the new moon, full moon and separation of phases, and another month had passed.

He squinted his drunken eyes and murmured, "Well... almost. The next step is to wait, spring planting, summer weeding, autumn harvest, winter storage, no rush, no rush.

In the south, the most critical moment should be approaching.

Pan Geng moved the capital to Yin, it’s coming soon!

Right." (End of this chapter)
