Zhi Xuan

Zhao Hao cleans up the old clan with ulterior motives and deters the clans moving south, which does not mean that they will slow down the pace of external expansion.

Less than a month after Nan Zhaohou returned to the country, the six clans and their affiliated forces were wiped out, the new land policy began to be tried out, and the team to explore the south was ready to go.

The old clan and the south-moving clan were sober-minded, avoided unnecessary disputes as much as possible, followed the intention of the monarch, and concentrated on doing practical things.

The expected turmoil did not occur, and the old clan was terrified. Even if their interests were reduced, they did not dare to point fingers at Zhao Hao, let alone have any criticism.

The old clans have become knowledgeable and interesting, and they follow the monarch's footsteps everywhere. The clans moving to the south lack goals and strength, so they can't find trouble for nothing. They can only stay down-to-earth and shine on the tasks assigned by the monarch.

There is a tacit understanding between the clans, no matter active or passive, they dare not make the rafters of the head.

Zhao Hao is iron-blooded and ruthless, whoever dares to jump high and fight against each other will cut 100% with a knife, no matter what.

Realizing the cold-bloodedness of the monarch, no one dares to provoke things at will.

The clan does not take the lead, and the common people of the country accept the new policy well.Some slaves who performed well received benefits, and they couldn't believe it for a while. They had to hold the wooden sign symbolizing land distribution when they slept, lest it was just a dream, and it would come to nothing when they woke up.

Whether it is deterrence or fear, in a word, under Zhao Hao's iron fist, the atmosphere in Nandu City has been renewed, and all kinds of rumors have disappeared, and the interpretation of land policy has been replaced.

In view of the particularity of the southern land, the land policy proposed by Zhixuan was tried out well.

Especially in the territory occupied by the new circle, Zhao Hao didn't need to show his power, and the clans gradually saw the benefits of dividing the land, so they took the initiative to implement it without forcing their heads.

The more land that is enclosed, the less manpower is needed.

Even if it is a big clan, after going out for a period of time, the labor force will become stretched.

Medicines against miasma continue to flow, and the team of foreign exploration is getting farther and farther. Land and resources are at your fingertips, but there is a lack of conditions for land reclamation and mining.

The clans encountered the same problem, basically there was no one to plow the fields, no one to cut down the trees, and no one to mine the mines.

Obviously there is a treasure mountain in front of you, and you know that its door cannot be entered, and anyone who changes it will have to beat their chests and stamp their feet.

The reform policy promulgated by Zhao Hao seems to weaken the clan, but in fact it can mobilize the enthusiasm of the slaves to the greatest extent.What is paid is the benefits that have not yet been obtained, and what is exchanged is tangible benefits.As long as you have a brain, you can settle this account.

One after another, the clans tasted the taste, and set aside part of the occupied wasteland and distributed it to the slaves in their hands.

The advantage of this is that the slave owns part of the private property, works more actively, and is grateful to the slave owner who squeezed him.

In Zhixuan's words, the hearts of the clans are so dark that they are so black that there are black lights shining everywhere.

But at the moment, this approach is the most affirmed.

If Zhao Hao did not change the charter and followed the regulations drawn up by Zhi Xuan, the reform may not go smoothly.If you want to have the situation today, you will inevitably encounter considerable resistance.

Even if the clan objected, the slaves might not believe it.

The wolf suddenly doesn't eat meat, but also distributes the meat to the rabbit, is it possible?

There are problems when you think about it.

Even if the wolf patted his chest and promised that he would become a vegetarian from today onwards, the rabbit would never believe it, and it was more likely that the wolf would turn around and run away.

It's clearly malicious, and it's not that easy to trick the prey into throwing themselves into the net!

In the letter to Zhixuan, Zhao Hao stated the progress of the reform, did not conceal the problems discovered, and explained the solutions.

When receiving letters from Nanlai, Zhi Xuan always pondered over and over again, and finally came to the conclusion that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and without practice, there is no right to speak.It is not advisable to take everything for granted, and it is fundamental to be realistic.

Referring to the experience of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, Zhi Xuan set aside part of the land on the grassland to try out the new land policy.

At that time, the Xiyuan Kingdom clan went out in large numbers, following the roads explored by the fox merchants and Mao merchants, either sending troops northward or riding westward on horseback.

As the clans concentrated their actions, the territory of Xiyuan Kingdom expanded rapidly.In less than half a year, the country's land area doubled.The territory is unprecedentedly wide, and even though most of it is wasteland, the people of the country are full of excitement and joy.

Every time a piece of land is won, the clan must draw a map in detail, lay down boundary markers and set up post stations according to Zhixuan's requirements.

The original boundary markers were made of wood, shaped like a horse hitch, and the words engraved on them were also very simple.The reason for this is all because the clans didn't realize the deep meaning of the emperor's will, and most of them dealt with it, and didn't plan to spend more time.

The opportunity for change lies in a conflict, and the source of the conflict is the ownership of a river.

At that time, the exploration teams of Xiyuan Kingdom and Bei'an Kingdom met unexpectedly, with big clans standing behind both sides, and the fertile land on both sides of the river was bound to be won.

Each other is evenly matched, and neither is willing to make concessions, and conflicts are imminent.

On the way, a third team appeared, belonging to the same country as the other party, and behind them was Luo Fei, one of the Six Ministers.

After finding out the cause of the dispute, the leader of the Luo family laughed, and asked both parties to the conflict to go to the upper reaches of the river, where there is a boundary marker.From the mottled traces on the surface, it can be seen that the boundary marker was not arranged hastily, and it had been on the riverside for many days.

The text on the boundary tablet clearly stated that the Luo family's team discovered this place a few days ago and rode their horses to carve out the territory.According to the first-come-first-served rule, Bei'an Kingdom and another Xiyuan Kingdom team withdrew voluntarily and could no longer set foot here.

Through this incident, the Xiyuan clan suddenly realized, and finally understood the reason why Zhixuan insisted on erecting a boundary marker.

With this proof, no matter who you meet, showing the boundary markers is "no one first served", that is, "reasonable and well-founded".When future generations encounter provocations, they can also pat the boundary markers, saying "ancestors pioneered", and another sentence "since ancient times", every word and sentence is reasonable.

It doesn't matter if you are unreasonable. With the fighting power of the Xiyuan clan, I believe that only by making the other party understand that you are reasonable can you be good to me and everyone. If you are unreasonable, you can only be good to me and you are not good.

In fact, most of the Xiyuan clan would prefer that the other party be unreasonable.But it's hard to realize the wish, so I can only sigh, the master is lonely!

Based on the importance of the boundary monument, the material was changed from wood to stone, and the volume became larger and larger, from half a meter to one, two or even five meters.

In the internal competition of the Xiyuan Kingdom clan, even a boundary marker as high as ten meters appeared.Looking from a distance, it is amazing to see that the needle of Dinghai moves to the front of the mountain.

The practice of the Xiyuan clan led the neighboring countries, and the Bei'an clan was the first to follow suit after suffering losses, followed by the Nanzhao and Dongliang countries, and the big and small vassal states followed suit.

There are various materials for making boundary monuments, including wood and stone.

A wealthy clan had a whim and even carved a boundary monument with a whole piece of jade.

Knowing this, Zhi Xuan was speechless.You don't have to do that to show off your wealth. You really don't have to worry about the boundary marker being carried away by someone in the middle of the night?

Such doubts continued until he saw the boundary marker with his own eyes.

Five meters long, three meters wide, and close to three meters high, where there is a boundary marker, it is clearly a section of the city wall.Such a volume, the weight can be imagined.

The clan is bound by etiquette and will not take the risk that Wan Fu pointed out to move this boundary marker.Even if other people were interested in seeing the money, they couldn't quietly get rid of this huge thing without alarming the postmen.

This boundary marker is special enough that those who can move it dare not move it, and those who dare move it cannot move it.

The clan that erected the stele did have the intention of showing off its wealth, but it was not without brains.Showing off wealth can also invite fame. With only one boundary marker, the family is known to the world.

Zhi Xuan felt complicated.

The countries in the Central Plains are full of talents, so don't underestimate anyone.To leave a name in an era where there are many princes, there will never be a simple person.

The princes opened up to the outside world, and the land of Mobei was no longer desolate.

Yuanying was sealed for a whole year, and everything in the fief was created from scratch.

The conditions for Daxing construction were insufficient. At the suggestion of her retainers, she took the initiative to learn the experience of the post station, set up tents in the fief, and dug nests, focusing on practicality and warmth.

For the convenience of movement, Yuan Ying changed from her fine clothes to men's gowns.

She no longer travels by car, but learns to ride a horse.In just two months, he and his retainers and guards can ride horses and whips, and patrol the entire fief.In case of danger, they can also shoot bows and arrows, and charge with long knives.

The grassland wind blows through the four seasons, the skin of the warbler is no longer white and tender, and calluses grow on his hands.Now she seems to have been completely reborn, and she is a completely different person from before.

Yuan Ying occasionally asks herself whether she feels regret.

the answer is negative.

It was only when she really walked out of the barriers and saw the vastness of the world that she realized how narrow-minded she was when she was young.

She is no longer a delicate female son, but a female patriarch who can lead cavalry on the grassland.

Her fief is not yet rich, but it is full of vitality.

The reclaimed wasteland is producing one after another, there are abundant resources in the dense forest, and mineral deposits are found on the edge of the fiefdom. Everything is getting better and everything is thriving.

However, she also faces serious problems.

After inspecting the fief, Yuan Ying rode back to her residence.

Walking into the tent set up by Xia Ri, she hesitated again and again, finally gritted her teeth, and wrote a letter to Zhi Xuan.

The fief is facing a huge labor shortage, and she needs more slaves.The savages were searched for for months without success.It's not that she didn't, it's that the others acted too quickly, she was one step behind, and couldn't catch it even if she wanted to.

There used to be a Dirong tribe in Mobei, but now they either voluntarily surrendered or ran away without a trace.

Yuanying is limited by the fief and population, so it cannot expand abroad for the time being, let alone go too far.The faster the fief develops, the more obvious the lack of manpower becomes.

She really had no choice but to ask Zhi Xuan for help.

In the letter, Yuan Ying hopes to exchange forest products for slaves, and the price is [-]% higher than that of the Central Plains.In the future, it will be filled with ore, and she will never let it go.

"Use as much as you can."

Yuan Ying is very clear that she has no choice.Zhi Xuan is willing to exchange, any kind of slave is fine.

She is in Mobei, and the news has never been cut off. She knows that the domestic manpower is tight, and everyone is waiting for food.

She didn't want to make things difficult for Zhi Xuan, but there was really no other way.If you don't ask for help, you can't continue to open up wasteland. If you can't open up wasteland, the development of the fiefdom will be forced to shelve.

Zhi Xuan was a little surprised when he received Yuan Ying's letter, but he didn't feel embarrassed.

He does have manpower, and there are quite a few.

Maoshang led a team westward, and more and more savages were sent back.I don't know if it has something to do with the region, these savages are getting taller and bigger, and the smell on their bodies is getting stronger and stronger, no matter how much they wash, they can't be washed off.

In the last batch, the supervisor blocked his nose and managed to make up.In these two or three batches recently, the distance is closer, and the nasal problems for many years can be cured without medicine.

Hundreds of savages gathered together are as powerful as biochemical weapons.

The border of the Central Plains is useless, so it can only be sent to Mobei.

The land is vast and sparsely populated, and running around will definitely kill you.The supervisor does not need to approach, as long as he is within the field of vision, he can also supervise the work without being tortured by the smell.

Zhi Xuan tried to send out a batch, and Yuan Ying's feedback was sent quickly.

In the letter, she thanked Zhi Xuan very much, and said that it doesn't matter if she has a taste, she can overcome it.As long as she can work, she wants as much as she has!

Isn't it just a little taste?

When it was the coldest, she would sleep with the sheep in her arms, it didn't matter, she could stand it!

Zhi Xuan flipped through the letters and found that Yuan Ying had changed a lot compared to before, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was earth-shaking.

The girl has become full of vitality, and she is throwing away the past, as if breaking free from the shackles, and developing towards an incomparably tough road, never looking back.
