Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 575 Completely Chinese Strategy
The early integration of other ethnic groups will definitely be a great thing for future generations, which will bring them thousands of years of happiness!
After thinking about it, he took the responsibility and said, "My lord, I think that if we want to make the barbarians and Qiang people completely Han, we need to start with cultural identification. Only by turning their hearts to the Han land can we truly submit and maintain long-term peace and stability."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, indicating that he should continue.

Xing Daorong wanted a cigarette at this moment to help him think.

I just can't make it happen no matter how hard I try, so I can only eat some food first.

He said slowly: "First, promote Chinese learning and education. You can set up schools in places where barbarians and Qiang people live, and send Confucian scholars to teach Chinese language and Chinese etiquette, so that their children can learn Chinese culture from an early age and understand the ways of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness."

"In this way, after several generations, their hearts will be no different from those of the Han people."

As soon as the master opens his mouth, you will know whether it is there or not!
Xing Daorong's first suggestion made Liu Bei's eyes flash with approval, and he clapped his hands and said, "This is a very good plan."

After praising him, he thought for a moment and said, "However... the customs of the barbarians and Qiang people are very different. I am afraid they may find it difficult to accept them at first. How can we make them willingly send their children to school?"

Xing Daorong calmly replied, "My Lord, you can use a policy of both kindness and severity. For families that send their children to school, we will reduce taxes and grant them land; if there are those who resist, we will impose light punishment to show the majesty of the court."

"In this way, using both hard and soft tactics will surely make them gradually accept it."

Liu Bei nodded and asked, "What about the second one?"

Xing Daorong calmed himself down and continued, "Second, change customs and habits."

"The customs of the barbarians and Qiang people are rough and unruly, and many of them are not in accordance with Han etiquette. The court can send etiquette officials to teach them to follow Han etiquette and abolish bad habits. At the same time, the children of their leaders can be summoned to the court to serve as officials, so that they can experience the prosperity of Han land firsthand and yearn for it."

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This plan is feasible, but it needs to be done step by step. Don't rush it, so as not to provoke a backlash."

Xing Daorong nodded and said, "Third, economic integration."

"We can set up markets in places where barbarians and Qiang people live, and encourage Han merchants to trade with them and exchange what they have. In this way, they will be interdependent economically and naturally converge culturally."

After hearing this, Liu Bei clapped his hands and praised: "Your plan is very comprehensive."

After saying that, Liu Bei saw that Xing Daorong was frowning, as if he had something to say but didn't know whether he should say it or not.

He immediately said, "Zi Yu, do you have any other plans? Please tell us all."

Xing Daorong also gave it his all!

But he said: "Fourth, intermarriage and integration!"

"We can encourage Han people to intermarry with barbarians and Qiang people to break down ethnic barriers. For Han people who marry barbarians or Qiang people, the court will grant them generous betrothal gifts and exempt their families from some corvée labor. In this way, blood will be connected and culture will blend."

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, but he looked at Xing Daorong suspiciously and said, "Zi Yu...from what you said, you don't care about intermarriage with the barbarians at all?"

Xing Daorong naturally didn't care.

We are all human beings, and we will all be Chinese in the future. What is the difference between high and low?
Pattern…this is the pattern!

He nodded seriously.

Seeing this, Liu Bei fell silent for a moment.

It looked like he was thinking it over carefully.

Xing Daorong was not in a hurry... He just started eating and drinking, waiting for Liu Bei to figure it out on his own.

After a while, Liu Bei looked at him again, but there was something strange in his eyes.

But he said: "As for the matter of intermarriage, even if the imperial court offers betrothal gifts and exempts taxes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get through."

"At this moment...it would be best if there was a leader."

"But the leader must not be too low-ranking and must understand the role." "Zi Yu... who do you think would be the best leader?"

Xing Daorong was not stupid either. The leader Liu Bei was talking about was actually himself!

At that moment, I couldn't help but point at myself...

Seeing this, Liu Bei laughed and said, "It's you, Zi Yu! I saw that you and the barbarian girl Hua Man got along very well today. Could it be that you have the same intention?"

Good guy!
It really seems like he is forcing me to marry Huaman!
Thinking about it, Liu Bei has been trying to probe this matter since we met today. Could it be that he has been thinking about intermarriage with the barbarians for a long time...

Thinking deeply in his mind, Xing Daorong really didn't know how to respond to Liu Bei's words for the moment.

Fortunately, Liu Bei also knew that he couldn't push too hard at the moment, so he said, "If Ziyu has any concerns, don't take them seriously."

"I will follow this plan and implement it step by step. If we can make the barbarians and Qiang people completely assimilated, our Han Dynasty will be more stable."

Xing Daorong naturally followed suit with a round of praise, but he felt in his heart... Liu Bei let him go today, but he was afraid that he would not let him go in the future.

But he didn't know that Liu Bei's end was just one hurdle. After returning home, there was another hurdle...

...

However, when Xing Daorong pushed open the door of the mansion and had not yet stepped firmly, he felt a strange atmosphere coming towards him.

In the hall, candles were brightly lit. The three ladies - Ma Yunlu, Fan Yufeng and Da Qiao - were sitting in the hall, their eyes sharp as torches, all looking at him.

There was scrutiny and doubt in their eyes, but they all looked very serious.

Xing Daorong's heart tightened, but he forced himself to remain calm and said with a smile, "Why are the ladies so well-gathered today? Are you waiting for me?"

Ma Yunlu snorted coldly, put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, and said in a cold voice: "My husband returned home today, but he brought a rare person with him. I wonder what the origin of that barbarian girl is?"

Fan Yufeng raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "My husband has always been busy with military affairs, but today he has time to bring back a foreign girl. It's really surprising."

Although Da Qiao didn't say anything, her autumn-water eyes were staring straight at Xing Daorong, as if waiting for his explanation.

Wow, a three-court trial!

Xing Daorong secretly groaned inwardly upon seeing this, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Ladies, please don't misunderstand! That Huaman girl is the daughter of the Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo. Because of her noble status, I am only following orders to escort her, and I have absolutely no other intentions!"

Ma Yunlu sneered, but said: "According to orders? When did my husband become an escort envoy? Besides... even if he was escorted, why did he need to bring him back to the palace?"

Fan Yufeng said, "That's right. If my husband is truly selfless, why don't you put her up in the post house instead of bringing her back to the mansion and causing gossip?"

Da Qiao still didn't say anything, but raised her eyebrows to show her position.

Xing Daorong was speechless for a moment and wanted to put the blame on Liu Bei, but after thinking it over, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he explained: "Ladies, you don't know that Miss Huaman has just arrived in Han and has a special status."

"I'm unfamiliar with the place, so His Majesty specifically ordered me to take good care of her. After much thought, I decided that it would be best to bring her back to the palace, so I brought her back. I had no other intention, no other intention!"

Now that Liu Bei is brought up, it’s hard to say anything more about these three ladies.

Think about it again, considering Xing Daorong's current status, it wouldn't be too much to bring ten of them back to the mansion, let alone one.

only…

Fan Yufeng thought about it and decided not to go too far, so she said in a much more relaxed tone: "My husband has his own way of doing things, but it is precisely because of this barbarian girl's special identity...that we must be more careful with her, so as not to cause gossip!"
