Hanhou

Taking Qin as an example, Zhao Jia pointed out that militarism is not a thing, and it is completely possible to feed on the enemy, use war to support war, and plunder Hu to supplement money, food and labor.

The Qin State plundered the Qiang, and the Han could plunder the Xiongnu.

Since the siege of Baideng, the Xiongnu invaded Hanbian every year, and the people suffered for a long time.

When the Xiongnu went to the border counties to thresh grain and grass, the Han could go to the grasslands to plunder cattle and sheep.

Before the Xiongnu had the upper hand, the Han Dynasty could not go to war on a large scale, so they could only hide their strength and bide their time, and made peace with each other.Now that the situation has changed, Chang'an is getting stronger and stronger, but the grassland is in chaos overnight.In this case, even if the large army cannot be wiped out immediately, you can hit a few saps, cut a few pieces of fat, and gradually recover the interest.

Liu Che was persuaded by Zhao Jia, staring at the map in front of him, covering his palms, on the basis of "killing the Xiongnu, opening up trade routes; Han soil, the point of the blade must be the heroic ambition of the minister".

There is no room for snoring on the side of the couch.

Slaughtering the Huns is fundamental.

However, shoveling away this old enemy could no longer satisfy the young emperor.

One thought leads to a hundred thoughts.

The door to the new world has been opened, and the young emperor, who was led astray by Zhao Jia, looked far away and began to diverge his thinking.

There is money all over the ground, and it is easy to find.

There are laws and regulations to follow in China, and it is enough to follow the rules, which is far less challenging than abroad.

Not to scratch?

It doesn't matter, the Han army drove over and reasoned with swords and arrows.

If you accidentally talk about death, you can only count the other party as unlucky.Who told you to be stubborn, but to follow the Huns all the way to the dark.

In Liu Che's view, the so-called "preferential care" must be considered by Hu Bu first kneeling on the ground and singing a song of conquest.If you are unlucky and sing out of tune, it's just a dream for Youfu, just surround yourself and kick them in circles first.

In the age of martial arts, everything depends on strength.

If you dare to disobey, you will definitely be recorded in the little book of the young emperor. If you pass the first day of the junior high school but fail to pass the fifteenth day, you will be crushed by the Han Qi sooner or later.

Like cultivating fine breeds, the strategy of strengthening the army was also successfully adopted.However, what Zhao Jia proposed is only the framework, and the specific details need to be supplemented.

After completing the two tasks, Zhao Jia continued to expand and proposed the strategy of farming in border counties.

"Target?" Han Yan pondered for a moment, then said, "Is it to emigrate?"

Unexpectedly, his reaction was so fast, even faster than the emperor's. Zhao Jia glanced at him unexpectedly, and then nodded.

"Immigrant." Liu Che frowned slightly, with a solemn expression.

Zhao Jia knew in his heart that this proposal was neither difficult nor difficult, and it was difficult to say.

It's not difficult because it's just the emperor's will to migrate the people to the border.The difficulty lies in how not to arouse public resentment, so that the people willingly leave the old land and move their families to the border county.

When Han Gaozu founded the country, the war had just ended, and the household registration system was relatively loose.In addition, many counties were devastated by the war, large areas of fields were abandoned, and it took time to resume production. This led to the flow of population to large grain-producing counties and prosperous places.

During Emperor Wu's reign, Jingzhaoyin was under the jurisdiction of Jingzhaoyin, with a population of nearly 70, more than the sum of the three counties of Yunzhong, Dingxiang and Yanmen.If including Zuo Fengyi and You Fufeng, the population would exceed 240 million.

Among the border counties, Shang County has the largest area and the largest population.In its heyday, the number of households was no more than [-].

With such a population distribution, it is doomed that the border county has a lot of land and few people, and there are few people who have fields to cultivate.In the vicinity of Chang'an, most of the fertile fields were occupied by nobles, and many people had to become servants or small merchants in order to support their families.

From ancient times to the present, the migration of population to big cities and prosperous places has been a convention and is inevitable.In normal times, as the Han and Wu dynasties increased their troops year by year and conquered the grasslands, the population of border counties became a big problem.

The source of soldiers is one of them. The population is insufficient, and the number of troops that can be recruited is bound to be limited.

Second, as more young and middle-aged people leave their jobs and join the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, there will inevitably be a shortage of labor in the county.Bian County's production is not abundant, and with the reduction of labor force, the situation will definitely deteriorate further.

As the production of border counties decreases, military rations and military resources need to be allocated from the counties and counties of the Central Plains.

Given the current road conditions, it would take at least a month for ordinary people to travel from Yunzhong to Chang'an.If it is transporting grain and grass, the time will only be longer.People eat horse chews on the way, and the loss is definitely not small.

This is still at home, and the situation will only get worse if it is changed to a foreign country.

Historically, when the Han Dynasty crusaded against Wusun, there was an embarrassing situation where a hundred carts of grain and fodder were transported from the country to the destination, and only one cart was left.

To solve this problem, the best way is to shorten the transportation distance and reduce the loss on the way.

There is still a long way to go before Yuezhi and Wusun. For now, the biggest enemy of the Han Dynasty is still the Xiongnu.If the imperial court can relocate the people to the frontier, cultivate and graze to supplement the army's food, at the same time, it can also lay down a piece of land and occupy the next piece of land.

Bianjun has a vast land and few people, and there are more wild animals than people.

The grassland is even more so.

If the non-area is vast, Hu Qi is familiar with the terrain and can hide easily. In history, Li Guang would not get lost when sending troops, miss the opportunity to fight, and leave great regrets.

Adopting Zhao Jia's proposal, with the pace of marching, the grassland can be continuously eroded, included in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and then firmly occupied.

It's just that although the plan is good, whether it can be actually implemented is a big problem.

Since Emperor Wen moved to Mintun, the imperial court has not made such an order.

As Chang'an and other places became more and more prosperous, even a small merchant could feed the whole family, so some people might not be willing to drag their families to the frontier.If the imperial edict is forced to relocate the people, there is no guarantee that there will be no chaos.

In order to achieve a strategy of strengthening the army, it is imperative to farm the fields in the border counties, which forms a deadlock, which is basically difficult to untie.

But since Zhao Jia dared to mention it, he naturally had a solution.

Just need to take risks.

"Your Majesty, far away, in the pre-Qin period, all the vassal states had immigration orders. Nearby, the Huns, the old Shang Shanyu, said that 'all non-Han are Hu'."

As soon as this statement came out, the announcement room immediately fell into silence.

"Doctor Zhao..." Han Yan frowned, thinking that Zhao Jia was too reckless.

Liu Che raised his hand to stop him, staring at Zhao Jia with burning eyes.

"Please tell me in detail."

"Promise!" Zhao Jia responded, starting from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the decrees of various vassal states to recruit talented people and attract people from the country.

"At that time, Qin, Qi, Chu, etc. all had strategies for recruiting talents. Some people from the country came and gave them land, and those who were capable of fighting were awarded the nobility of the people. After Qin Xiaogong, people from the six kingdoms of Shandong fled to Qin, and finally became the great cause of Qin."

"The Xiongnu's old Shanyu succeeded Maodun Shanyu, and his prestige was not as good. In order to subdue the Hus and gain their loyalty, he said, 'Everyone who is not a Han is a Hu', and all other tribes respect him."

Zhao Jia presented an example, but he did not specify who these two strategies were aimed at.However, Liu Che was taught by Emperor Jing and was instructed by Empress Dowager Dou, so before Zhao Jia finished speaking, he began to think about it.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jia pointed out that time has changed and the world has changed. Given the current situation, it is naturally impossible to copy the previous regulations, but it can be changed to give preferential treatment to the people who voluntarily settle in the border.

Anyway, the border county has a vast land, and the pastures that have been conquered in the future will also be enclosed. All men and women are treated equally, and the land and pastures are granted, and taxes are exempted for several years.If you rob the Hu tribe with the army, you can also exchange for cattle, sheep and slaves with your military exploits.

There was a law in the Han Dynasty that slave trading was not allowed, and the enemies on the grassland were not included.

In addition, the Han Dynasty has the law of losing copper, and offenders can pay for their crimes with money.

If the family has no money and does not want to be tortured, they can ask for a frontier fortress.Convert the penalty into the number of farmland and the years of guarding the border.As long as your head is not caught in the door, you basically know how to choose.

Furthermore, the introduction of bigwigs who are well versed in political struggles can further improve the plan. After the money bag, it can also poach the corners of the kingdoms from the population.

Things were done aboveboard, even if the kings were gnashing their teeth with hatred, wishing they could pull out the hair of the strategist and bite off the head of the executor, the corner of the wall could still be dug.

Based on this, when Zhu Fuyan proposes "Great Unification" and the imperial court implements the decree of grace, the strength of the Liu family kings will further decline, and they will no longer be able to pose a threat to the central government.

Zhao Jia didn't say this clearly, and both Liu Che and Han Yan could think of it.

Before the conditions are ripe, many things can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words, and it is good to know each other well.

As for the second article, it is to further increase the population.

Hu people returned to Han and were willing to be educated. Under certain conditions, the court allowed them to intermarry with Han.After a few generations, even though they still have the characteristics of Hu people on the outside, they will still regard themselves as Han people in their hearts and regard the enemies of Han as their enemies.

In the borderlands, there is no shortage of Han and Hu mixed blood like Zhao Xin.

If you are lucky, you will be accepted by the border people or tribes. If you are not lucky, you can only become a savage.

Zhao Jia made this suggestion to give these children and teenagers a way out.As for those who have been savages for many years and whose ferocity is irreversible, they can only be captured to fill their labor.

Sending kindness also depends on the situation.

If you don't make any distinctions and get bitten back at the end, it's better to establish rules from the very beginning, that is, the rope should be put on, the whip should be whipped, and the knife should not be lenient.

The purpose of formulating plans is to expand the territory and serve the country and the nation. Kindness is the icing on the cake, and the cart must not be put before the horse.

Zhao Jia talked for a full hour, his mouth was dry and his voice was hoarse, and he drank several cups of warm water.Liu Che listened attentively, and Han Yan even spread out the silk cloth, picked out the main points and recorded them down.

When Zhao Jia's words came to an end, it was already dark, and the eunuchs and palace servants sent poking lamps.

The shape is exquisite, and the smokeless bronze lamp is placed against the wall when it burns, illuminating the room as bright as day.

Liu Che became more interested, and wanted to stay with Zhao Jia in the palace and talk with him at night by candlelight.

Stay in the palace?

Zhao Jia looked at Han Yan, thinking of this past fate, contacting himself, couldn't help shivering.The water in the Han Palace is too deep, and if you don't pay attention, you will be submerged. For the sake of your own life, don't take chances.

At the moment, Zhao Jia is bowing his hands, please leave the palace and see him again tomorrow.

"Hodor was too careful."

Seemingly able to guess what Zhao Jia was thinking, Liu Che relaxed, propped his chin with his backhand, and laughed out loud on the spot.The smile softened and became as sharp as a blade. At this moment, the emperor of the Han Empire finally looked like a boy dancing with elephants.

"Ayan and Ahe both stayed with me. When the emperor was around, he also stayed with the prime minister and servants." Liu Che looked at Zhao Jia with a more relaxed expression.

Speaking of this, Zhao Jia would be ignorant of flattery if he made any excuses.

Now hand over, thank the Son of Heaven.

"rise."

Today's Liu Che still has a bit of a youthful heart, and he will naturally put on the majesty of the emperor in front of people he doesn't like.But he loves talent very much, Zhao Jia's many suggestions just scratched his itch. When it comes to his heart, he has a better impression of him, and he quickly became close.

"Mother mentioned to me that I want to see Ah Duo." After the palace servants delivered the meal, Liu Che wiped his hands with a clean cloth, and said to Zhao Jia, "After tomorrow's court meeting, Ah Duo and I will go to Changle Palace together."

"promise!"

After eating, Zhao Jia and Han Yan were placed in the side hall of Weiyang Palace.

Liu Che was very talkative, so he ordered someone to go to the Jiaofang Hall to inform Chen Jiao, while he stayed in the side hall and asked about Zhao Jia's frontier fortress and the grassland.

The Son of Heaven does not intend to sleep. As a courtier, even if the eyelids are fighting, he must put up a short stick to support him.

Fortunately, after going through the most sleepy period, my mind gradually became clear.After drinking half a cup of warm water and eating a few pieces of nai, Zhao Jia regained his fighting strength, eloquently and eloquently.

Until the sky was brightened, the monarchs and ministers stayed up all night.

The three of them looked at each other, and Zhao Jia could bear it when he saw the black circles in each other's eyes, but Liu Che and Han Yan were used to joking, and laughed at the same time, without the slightest sense of any other.

This is teenage friendship?

Looking at Liu Che and Han Yan, these words suddenly appeared in Zhao Jia's mind.Immediately afterwards, Wei Yue's face flashed in front of his eyes, his expression paused immediately, and Han Yan, who was smiling, took a good look at her.
