Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 1165 Regardless of identity

After Liu Yi surrendered, he followed the order and took the remaining tribesmen back to Bingzhou. In order to prevent the Xiongnu soldiers from gathering in one place and causing chaos, Zhao Hanzhang only released some veterans and wounded soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers dispersed. He selected the Xiongnu generals to lead They went to Bingzhou to farm, build official roads and dig canals.

After the Huns occupied the Hexi Corridor, they forced the Han people to farm and enclosed their own land for grazing. There were only a few people who knew how to farm.

Probably knowing that they were not good at this, Zhao Hanzhang re-divided several areas for them when he sent them back to Bingzhou, which were half cultivated land and half pasture.

She allocated fields and grasslands to every household, allowing them to graze and plant, and even sent many people from Sinong Temple to guide them in farming.

The Huns soldiers who were dispersed by her either suppressed bandits in Bingzhou, or built official roads, canals, and cultivated fields near the newly-established small tribes.

She also sent officials from Sinong Temple to guide them in farming.

Each instruction is one step at a time. It is difficult to do well in farming, but it is still very easy to plant in general. According to the season, plow the land when it is time to plow, sow when it is time to sow, and fertilize when it is time to fertilize. She does not believe that they plant No food comes out.

The grain grown belonged to the army, most of the ditches built were used by the new Xiongnu tribes nearby, and the official roads were also among the Xiongnu tribes. Therefore, the grievances in the hearts of the Xiongnu soldiers dissipated in the day after day of work.

Moreover, Zhao Hanzhang also selected many generals and lieutenants from the Zhao family army to teach them how to recognize Chinese characters. These generals and gentlemen said, "The general treats you all equally. General Shi is from the Jie tribe, and all Jie tribe members can serve as officials in the court." , of course you can do it too."

"It's just that you don't know Chinese characters, and some of you can't even speak Chinese. Even if you are capable, the general doesn't know it, and you are of no use." The general said, "So you should learn from me carefully. If you learn Chinese and then learn commonly used Chinese characters, you will be able to show your talents in the future if you have the opportunity. Even if you cannot be the governor of a state like General Shi, it would be good to be an officer in the army."

The Hun soldiers suddenly became energetic and excited. After studying for a while, someone got bold and asked the general: "My family is really not good at farming. Can I just want grassland and not cultivate the land?"

The participating generals cannot make the decision, they can only report.

At the same time, Liu Yi, as the new leader of the Huns, also shouldered the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Huns. He wrote to Luoyang twice and was finally allowed to enter Beijing.

So Liu Yi went to Beijing to see Zhao Hanzhang.

This year's grain has been harvested. He made statistics and found that even with the guidance of Han teachers, a considerable number of people still couldn't learn to farm.

Zhao Hanzhang thought it was very simple to operate according to the season, and they did so, but the food they grew could not even feed themselves, and they could not even pay the land rent and taxes.

Fortunately, Zhao Hanzhang did not collect sufficient land rent taxes this year, otherwise some families would really need to borrow money to pay taxes.

Liu Yi came to Zhao Hanzhang, hoping that she would allow these people to change their cultivated land into pasture and make a living by grazing.

Zhao Hanzhang discussed with the courtiers and agreed, taking back their farmland and allocating more pasture to them so that they could make a living by grazing.

But those who can cultivate the land still have to make a living on the cultivated land, so the Xiongnu tribes are divided again. Those who cultivate the land will settle down near the cultivated land, while those who herd animals will live in pursuit of water and grass like their ancestors.

Zhao Hanzhang's kindness reminded Liu Yi of their former friendship. In order to bring the Xiongnu closer to Zhao Hanzhang, he decided to stay in Luoyang.

He also saw the announcement in the Di newspaper and knew that Zhao Hanzhang was in short supply of people who could control the water, and the Yellow River also passed through Bingzhou, so Liu Yi recommended himself.

After talking to him, Zhao Hanzhang found out that he really knew how to control water.

Not only can he control water, but as a Huns with Di bloodline, Liu Yi is also very talented and insightful in farming.

Liu Yi's character is more like his mother and uncle, like the Di people who are good at farming and patient. He has a gentle temperament and has been favored since childhood. His father has received Chinese education and admires Chinese culture. As the youngest son, Liu Yi has been urinating since he was a child. Influenced by this.

He has also read Chinese since he was a child and learned various Chinese cultures.

He never thought that he would be the leader of the Huns. He had always positioned himself as his brother's auxiliary. He was far inferior to his brothers in riding and shooting. He knew that under the rule of the Huns, the differences between the Huns and the Han people Relations are tense.

He could see that it was wrong for the Xiongnu to enclose the land and make the fertile fields covered with grass, and to graze cattle on the fertile fields. He also knew that if the Han Dynasty wanted to last long, it must live in harmony with the Han people, and it was best to be Hanized.

In order to become Chinese, the first step is to let the Huns learn not to graze on fertile land, but also to know how to farm.

So he learned how to farm the land with his uncle, and also learned about water management from the Han teachers who taught him.

With this knowledge, Liu Yi successfully entered the Ministry of Water and became a member of the Ministry of Water from a captured Huns leader.

And his appointment seemed to be a signal. In just one month, already appointed officials from the Xiongnu, Di and Jie tribes were promoted one after another for their outstanding performance.

Some Huns originally felt that Liu Yi was embarrassed by being just a water minister, but now they stopped talking and acquiesced to Liu Yi staying in Luoyang.

Zhao Hanzhang was also willing to help Liu Yi improve his reputation and let him control the Xiongnu tribe.

Liu Yi has a noble character and is indeed the best choice to be the actual leader of the Xiongnu tribe. With him, the process of Hanization of the Xiongnu will be smoother and faster.

However, this kind of thing cannot be rushed, and she knows how to deal with it slowly.

Zhao Hanzhang asked Liu Yi to go back as a member of the Ministry of Water Resources and lead the Huns to clean up the silt of the Yellow River in Pingyang County.

This time to control the water, Zhao Hanzhang used a large number of army soldiers. In addition to conscription, she also allocated a sum of money from the treasury to recruit workers for them.

For wages, food and fodder for servants and soldiers, materials used for building river embankments, dredging, etc., 30,000 shi of grain and 5 million yuan were allocated for the Yellow River management alone. The taxes just collected stayed in the treasury for a short time. It was paid out immediately.

All the money was handed over to Fu Tinghan. As a minister, he personally went to the Yellow River to preside over river regulation. He currently lives on the edge of the Yellow River.

Zhao Hanzhang attached great importance to this and was afraid that some officials would fool him, so he sent Zhao Xin, who had just returned to Beijing, and asked him and Fan Ying to each lead a part of the censors to inspect the river.

"In this inspection, in addition to ensuring that the money allocated is used wisely to ensure the interests of the flood control officers and soldiers, you must also do a good job in popularizing water control. Regarding the method of planting vegetation in exchange for taxes on both sides of the Yellow River, I will I will no longer publicize it in the newspapers, but I want the people on both sides of the Yellow River to know about it and let them all join in the management of the Yellow River."

Zhao Xin and Fan Ying agreed, and after getting the warrants, they went to the Yushitai to choose their subordinates.
