Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 278 Draw a circle in Saibei
When the banquet was set up, Hu Chuquan and others were still excited, and they met the best spirits again. Three rounds of wine came to toast, and they all lay down on the table.

Liu Yao shook his head helplessly, no matter how big a drinker is, if he dares to drink this kind of wine, he will pass out, and Tai Shici is also unconscious.

After carrying them down to rest, Liu Yao said to Liu He, "Bo Xing's rhetoric made the southern Huns completely return to their hearts. This action temporarily eliminated the Huns' troubles. It's really clever!"

Chang Lin also nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, the Wuyuan and Shuofang counties are already deserted, and we can't control them. Letting them be a favor to the Huns and making an alliance with them is really killing two birds with one stone."

Chen Gongyan said: "Now that Xianbei is strong and Huns are weak, if Huchuquan wants to be valued, after returning, he will definitely aim to surpass Xianbei. In this way, he will no longer care about the Central Plains."

After some analysis, everyone praised Liu He's ingenious arrangement. Although Xianbei is powerful, it is now squeezed out by the Xiongnu in the west and restrained by Wuhuan in the east.

Liu He smiled lightly. Their analysis was not unreasonable, but they only saw the immediate benefits.

In their hearts, they obviously still disapproved of Liu He's so-called "family", let alone conquering the Western Regions and spreading Chinese civilization.

"Sure enough, vision determines thinking and pattern!"

Liu He sighed in his heart, this is not to say that Chen Gong and others are not far-sighted enough, but that their cognition is limited, and they don't know how big the world is and how vast it is.

However, the concept of round sky and earth has been around for a long time, and he can't change it with just a few words. Right now, he should first seek stability and calm down the Central Plains before talking about other things, so he won't argue with them.

At least in the view of Chen Gong and others, this ten-year goal is still feasible, and that's enough!
"In the future, I will build a globe, draw a map of the world, and then reason with them!"

Liu He was secretly making plans in his heart. The world was still uncertain, and he was still on a shaky footing. It was not the time to look forward to the world.

The steps can't be too big, otherwise...

Liu He shook his head and talked with everyone about how to arrange the Huns next. After all, the Hu people are capricious, and they cannot be stabilized by just putting them there, but also need to formulate policies to control them.

Chang Linyan said: "Although Huchuquan is loyal, the Hu people have always been fierce and barbaric. Qiangqu Shanyu was killed right before his eyes. During Emperor Huan's Yanxi years, Xiutu's various tribes and Shuofang Wuhuan also rebelled and invaded the border areas. County, we must guard against the lessons learned from the past!"

Liu He said with a smile: "The Hu people rebelled repeatedly, either because of the increase in the court's taxes, or because of the lack of supplies for the winter. This is the main reason. If they can live and work in peace and contentment, and have such a grand goal, I think they will feel at ease. Rest up and stop going south to invade the Central Plains.”

But Liu Yao shook his head and sighed: "Bingzhou is a place of bitter cold. If we are powerless to resettle the people, how can we take care of the Hu people? This is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do!"

"Bingzhou is bitterly cold?" Liu He glanced at everyone, but said with a smile: "There is something wrong with what you said. The land of Bingzhou, in addition to the basins in the Taihang, Luliang, and Taiyue mountains, also includes the north of the river and occupies all the land. The benefits of the Yellow River, if developed properly, are no less than Jizhou and Qingzhou."

Chang Lin frowned and said, "Although Wuyuan and Shuofang are both inside and outside the Dahe River, there is a mixture of Hu and Han here, and the fields are deserted. How can they compare with Jizhou?"

Both Liu Yao and Chen Gong also looked puzzled, comparing the land beyond the Great Wall to the Central Plains with abundant money and food, isn't that too much?

"Bring the map!" Liu He waved his hand, and the Huns returned, but the development of the Hetao Plain should also be put on the agenda
The Hetao Plain has the reputation of "the south of the Yangtze River", and it is also a land of fish and rice. As long as it is developed and managed, it will definitely become a land of grain production in the future.

On a slightly crude map, Liu He picked up a pen and drew an ellipse around the area inside and outside the "Ji" head of Dahe, covering several counties such as Shangjun, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Yanmen.

In the doubtful eyes of everyone, he said: "This area will be called 'Hetao' from now on! The river network in this area is interspersed and nested, the terrain is flat, the water source is abundant, and it is very convenient to irrigate the farmland."

Chang Lin suddenly said: "Back then, Emperor Wu set up a county guard here to garrison the fields and guard the border. It really did a lot. I didn't expect the generals to be so familiar with the terrain of the frontier fortress in Youzhou. If it is true, and if we can make good use of it, it will be effective in three years. "

"This circle has a lot to say!" Liu He nodded and smiled. Once the Hetao area is developed, it will become an important fulcrum for the Western Expedition in the future.

Looking at the circles on the map, a song suddenly came to mind: An old man drew a circle on the South China Sea.

I drew a circle in Saibei today, maybe decades or even a hundred years later, some people will praise this move and admire my strategic vision, right?

When he was secretly delighted, he heard Liu Yao say: "The land of Hetao can certainly be developed, but with money and food... Boxing, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!"

"Uh, this..." Liu He was taken aback, but after returning to reality, a basin of cold water was poured on his head, and a smile froze on his face.

After all, money is still the top priority. Land can be developed, but money is not something that can be obtained just by saying you have it.

Although Bingzhou is rich in coal resources, this thing cannot be transported out, and it has not been accepted by the public, so it is no different from a stone.

All the property looted from Dong Zhuo can't be left in Bingzhou. The most urgent task right now is to build up the army, and the pacification of the Central Plains is the top priority. If you can't revive the Han Dynasty, everything is empty talk.

"The development of Hetao is a matter of the future. It is temporarily handed over to the Huns to graze. We will first open Hushi in Yunzhong and other places, and gradually advance!" In desperation, Liu He could only make concessions.

Liu Yao nodded and said, "Bo Xing's words are reasonable. Now Bingzhou has a lot of waste waiting to be revived. It is a long-term plan to secure the people's governance first, prosper internally and expand externally."

Liu Heyan said: "In addition to reclaiming fertile land, we must dredge the Fen River as soon as possible, so that it will be more convenient to transport materials. Bingzhou's Nirvana, timber, and many materials outside the Great Wall are more convenient to transport by water. As long as the transportation is convenient, It will attract a large number of businessmen to invest, and the state can gradually recover.”

Liu Yao has already seen the benefits of Liu He's cooperation with merchants in Youzhou. He even personally managed the mutual market when he was in Shanggu County. He knew the convenience, so he naturally agreed.

Chang Lin asked again: "Since the three counties outside the Great Wall were surrendered to the Xiongnu, and the Hetao will be developed in the future, the management needs to be properly arranged, otherwise it may cause inconvenience."

"It's simple!" Liu He referred to Cao Cao's way of resettling the Southern Huns, and said: "Meiji is still designated as the royal court of the Southern Huns, and then the Huns will be divided into five tribes and placed in Wuyuan and Shuofang, with the Huns as the tribe. Shuai, in addition, Sima will be selected from the army to control, and we will discuss the detailed system after Hu Chuquan sobers up."

Liu Yao and others all nodded their heads. In this way, not only would they divide the power of the Xiongnu, but they could also monitor and restrain them. By the way, they could initially implement the system of garrisoning land, which is a safe method.

Chen Gong said: "It is a good policy for Hu and Han to live together. As long as our big Han is strong, how dare the Huns make mistakes?"
