The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"Do you know what individualism is?" Liu Tao asked with a smile.

"Just think about your own comfort, and don't care about your family and clan. Such a person deserves to be kicked out." Liu Cong replied immediately.

"If you understand this, then you are a qualified patriarch." Liu Tao patted his head.

"Then father, the three provinces and six departments, are you equivalent to the elders of the family?" Liu Cong began to think deeply.

"Yeah, the family is so big, and more people are needed to help manage the affairs. For example, the officials, we always have to see who has made contributions to the family, who is lazy and does not work, and who is relying on their own power. Just bully other clansmen; for example, the household department, we always need to know how much money the clan has, and how to spend the money to make the clan stronger; They know what to do and what not to do..." Liu Tao explained slowly.

"So the countries in the Western Regions are outsiders, and we are our own people. We can't lose our own people just to take care of other people's emotions?" Liu Cong continued to deduce.

"After all, they are all your clansmen." Liu Tao smiled, "Not to mention, they are still spending their own money and food."

"But if they surrender, they will be merged into our big man. Isn't that our family?" Liu Cong didn't understand.

"But they don't think they are our family members now. It is estimated that more people think that they are slaves of our family, servants, not family members anyway. So we have to find a way to let them know that we actually want to treat them as our family members. Family, we treat our family members very well, and we are willing to help them and truly integrate into this big family." Liu Tao explained.

"But sir, he talked about the debate between Hua and Yi, saying that they are all aliens, and they are not of one mind with us." Liu Cong was puzzled.

"So when they are still enemies, we must be as cruel as winter, and we must not have the kindness of women. Just like you become the patriarch, if you are weak, then other families will bully you, and they will not sit with you Come down and talk slowly, discuss carefully." Liu Tao explained.

After a pause, he added: "When we conquer them, we should learn to let them give up their hatred and integrate into our family. Our Chinese civilization can be understood as a family tradition, which can accommodate anyone who is willing to join us. family members, and then absorb their excellent civilization for their own use, while helping them get rid of bad habits.”

"Oh... my child understands." Liu Cong nodded. In fact, in Liu Tao's opinion, it was about halfway through, and his interest was not so high. It is not bad to be able to listen to half of the follow-up.

At this time, it is no longer possible to continue preaching, it is useless to talk, it is a waste of time, and even makes the children not want to listen to your nagging.If there are too many times like this, maybe the child will not want to talk to him in the future. After all, every time he talks, he has to make such a long speech, which is extremely troublesome.

"Let's go here first today, and the time is almost up..." Liu Tao looked at the sky outside, "How about going to eat some pastries, and then play with your younger siblings for an hour?"

"Father is coming too?" Liu Cong suddenly became interested.

"Come, come!" Liu Tao laughed, making time even if he didn't have time.I chose to guide education, so no matter how hard and tiring I am, I must persevere!

Liu Tao suddenly had the idea of ​​planning birth control, or at least planned contraception.After all, if it continues, it will be endless to be tossed by these brats.He understood that this method of education was probably suitable for families with one or two children.

In an era like the ancient times, when you saw that you would have more than ten children, and you didn't know how many more you would have in the future, you had to exhaust yourself to death!

"Qiong'er is about to become a son-in-law..." After playing with a group of children, Ren Hongchang suddenly said something.

Generally speaking, girls in this era are about 12 years old and can get married when they have menstruation.After all, the probability of premature death is too high, and many people die at a young age, such as Wei Zhongdao.

Get married earlier, have children earlier, even if you are gone by the age of 30 or [-], at least there will be the next generation, and there is still hope.

At the same time, if the age difference between husband and wife is too large, they will not get along well.But generally speaking, most of the marriageable boys at the age of fifteen or sixteen have already been married under the arrangement of their families.The eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, you can't be someone else's concubine, right?

Not to mention Prince Consort Shang, at least the marriage must be agreed first, so as not to embarrass others if they can't wait to get married.

"Yeah, it's twelve in a blink of an eye." Liu Tao sighed, because of his old father's emotions, he really didn't intend to let his daughter get married.Disobedient leather children are fine, but Liu Qiong is very filial.Compared with Liu Cong, who has a hundred thousand reasons, she is obedient, well-behaved and filial...

"Is there anyone she likes?" Liu Tao asked casually.

"I didn't ask about this, but it's usually decided by the parents. Especially in the royal family, most of them are married off to the courtiers, so as to deepen the relationship between the monarch and the ministers. Otherwise, it's a marriage..." Ren Hongchang said here, his body trembling slightly.

Parents, especially the emperor's concubine, are most afraid that their daughter will be sent out to be married.

"Haha, what are you worried about?" Liu Tao laughed, "I will not cede territory, pay compensation, make peace, or surrender! Now, no, and never will!"

"Your Majesty..." Ren Hongchang was so excited when he heard this, his eyes were filled with admiration.

"Ask first, if she likes someone, then you can make an engagement first. Don't say twenty, at least get married. Getting married too early and having a child is not good for your health, and it is easy to have a difficult delivery." Liu Tao gritted his teeth. Said.

If anyone dared to make his own daughter suffer this kind of punishment in order to carry on the family line, he would kill the other party alive.

"Hmm..." Ren Hongchang and the girls came over like this, so they naturally knew that this was true, so they nodded obediently.

Chapter 679 Population, Population

His Majesty is going to choose a son-in-law for the eldest princess. When the news spread, not to mention those dignitaries, even some big businessmen were ready to move.

The big businessmen these days have some backgrounds, for example, the Zhang family of Zhongshan, who has become the largest animal husbandry king in the Han Dynasty, the Zhen family of Zhongshan, the largest grain merchant, and the Su family of Zhongshan, the largest smelting workshop.

In the second column, there is the Zou family who monopolizes the livestock trade in the northwest; the Mi family, a newly emerging big tea merchant; Monopolizing the transportation industry in Shanxi Province and Zhili Province is the Hanoi Zhang family.All of these families have children who are officials in the court, and many of them are high-ranking officials!

At the same time, the Zhang family, the Zhen family and the Su family have the deepest relationship with His Majesty and the closest relationship.

Zhang Shiping of the Zhang family is already the servant of the household department; Su Shuang of the Su family is the minister of the Ministry of Industry;

Seeing that the third and fourth daughters, as well as the youngest daughter, were growing up slowly, Mrs. Zhang wished they could all be sent to the palace.

It's a pity that Mrs. Zhen probably can't count on being the son-in-law this time.There is no suitable one for the younger generation, and the previous generation is at the uncle level, so it can't be said that they are more intimate, and let the uncle level marry their niece?

Even if there is no such concern in the blood relationship, Liu Tao still feels that it is not good to do so.

Ren Hongchang also asked Liu Qiong in private if she had any boys she liked. The first suspects were of course those classmates who went to school together, these were the boys she was closest to.It's just that Liu Qiong said that she doesn't like those little kids... Well, the daughter of Liu Tao's family is a bit precocious.

Those of the same age look down on them, so naturally they are young officials who have already become officials and have not yet married... Is there any?

Most of the children of the basic aristocratic family are already married, and maybe the sons are three or five years old.Let's say Xun Yu is in his thirties this year, and his son is already six or seven years old.

Historically, his eldest son, Xun Yun, was born in 193 A.D. The world took refuge in himself and settled down earlier, and the child was born three or four years earlier than in history.When the second batch of children entered school, Xun Yun could also enter school together as a classmate.

However, if Liu Qiong made such a statement, then naturally he has someone he likes.Liu Tao asked Ren Hongchang to pay attention, and asked Jin Yiwei's help to pay attention. Liu Tao still remembered Yang She's expression of reluctance and having to accept the order.

On Liu Qiong's side, Liu Tao cares, but he cares more about the affairs of the Western Regions.

When Cao Cao conquered the Western Regions, the first thing he did in the follow-up was to disperse the nationals of various countries and relocate half of the nationals to live in the Han territory.At the same time, apply to Liu Tao to allocate some students, some teaching books, and it is best to arrange an immigration of about 5000 to [-] people.

"The climate in the Western Regions, and there is not much arable land, how many people can be migrated there..." Liu Tao was really embarrassed.Unlike other places, a large number of trees and grass should be planted in the Western Regions to make the air as humid as possible.

Later generations did a good job and spent countless efforts to increase the green area.To afforest and maintain water and soil, the area of ​​arable land cannot be expanded, which must be limited.

What can be developed is the specialty product industry, such as dates, grapes, cantaloupe, watermelon and walnuts.Ha, add some wheat to make maltose, and cut cakes can be made.

The biggest problem is that the variety of these things is not rich enough these days.In terms of taste, it is naturally not as good as the varieties that were improved by agronomists from generation to generation.

Liu Tao still remembers the big watermelon he ate 20 years before time travel, it was big but not sweet.Later, the black beauty came up and immediately killed those big watermelons, and those big watermelons that were very common at five or six catties, and even ten catties, were gradually disappearing in the market.

"The flow of water in the few rivers in the Western Regions is still very high, plus some oases, they actually support three to four million people." Jian Yong scanned the information on the Western Regions, "The biggest problem now is that General Zhenxi migrated in one go. With 400 people arriving in Dahan territory, how to settle them is the key, after all, Wuhuan is also settling down."

The big man's finances are relatively loose, but to migrate millions of people in one go, more than just financial resources are needed.

After a pause, he suggested, "Why don't you move some of the Wuhuan people there?"

Anyway, it is necessary to relocate, otherwise, it can save a lot of settlement costs.

"What we need is to let them integrate in, which means that they need to recognize the Han civilization and integrate into it. It doesn't make sense to put two forces that are not originally part of the Han civilization together." Liu Tao shook his head.

What originally restricted his development was the lack of officials and finances, but now officials and finances are beginning to fill up.As a result, the key to restricting the development of the Han Dynasty has become the population.
