Chapter 607 (1/2)
”The old prime minister is too modest. After decades of official career, the old Prime Minister rose all the way from the position of township prime minister to cabinet sub prime minister. No matter in the affairs of prefectures and counties, or in the major state affairs, the old prime minister is always light handed. How can our palace compare with the old Prime Minister? ” Yu Chuqing waved her hand and said with a smile.
”Your Highness, it's just that I've lived a little longer and watched more.” Zhuo Xianran also said modestly.
At this time, Yu Yuanxu, the emperor of Qian, who had been thinking about something, suddenly interrupted the flattery between Yu Chuqing and Zhuo Xianran and said, ”elder sister, Prime Minister Zhuo, I don't think this letter of Duke Wei is so simple. In his letter, he mentioned how to settle the people attached to CHIDI. What he wanted to express was not only the need for food, money and silk, And where does Da Qian want to place these people? Are they concentrated in one county and several counties, or scattered in the whole twelve side counties of Northern Xinjiang, or in dozens of Xian counties north of the imperial capital? ”
Zhuo Xian ran a look at the long Princess Yu Chu Qing, and saw that she did not speak. He said, ”Your Majesty, according to past practice, most of the people in the steppe sand sea were used by Jimu county. When the princess of Qingyang and Wei Guo Gong destroyed Qingyang, the capitulation of the capitulation of those who surrendered was the same. The northern border counties are deserted, and the winter is long and cold. Without the support of the government, the people of Daqian are not willing to leave their hometown and move to such places to rebuild their families. These grassland people live in the north, and the climate is not a problem for them. They can just use these people to enrich the population of the border counties. ”
”The policy of Jimi County seems to be effective in a short time, but in the long run, there are still great disasters.” Yu Chuqing seems to suddenly think of something and says.
”Elder sister, can you be more careful?” Yu Yuanxu and Zhuo Xianran look at each other and ask.
Yu Chuqing drank a cup of tea and said, ”Jimi County, of course, can solve the problem of resettlement of the foreign people in a short time. Take the people of Qingyang for example, we set aside a piece of land and forest for them to live in, and then sent officials and the county garrison to help and control them. Only a few years ago, when Zhihou was still alive, our palace and her husband, as well as Jieyun, Leyi, Zhihou and queer, talked about it in their spare time. At that time, some people said that this policy was not safe. ”
”Oh? What's wrong? ” Zhuo Xianran frowned and asked. four
When Qingyang was destroyed, how to deal with the captured and surrendered Qingyang people made the cabinet worried for some time. Finally, he and Luo canglan, the then prime minister, came up with this strategy. Twenty years later, the Qingyang adherents who were settled in Bianjun have taken root. Although the custom is slightly different from that of Daqian, the younger generation who grew up in the past 20 years, no matter what they say, talk, dress or dress, are the same as the people of Daqian. This also shows that this policy is effective. Zhuo Xianran can't understand why the eldest princess said that this policy is not safe.
”The old prime minister is at ease.” Seeing that Zhuo Xianran's face was somewhat unswerving, Yu Chuqing said with a smile, ”first of all, the people of Qingyang were all settled in the sheshui river basin north of Qinglin county and south of Hanshan army. If my palace remembers correctly, they should be concentrated in six counties. It's too close. In addition to the military families of the northern Xinjiang Army Corps, there are not many people belonging to the daqianyan nationality in these six counties. In proportion, Qingyang adherents are even more than the original daqianyan people. ”
Zhuo Xianran looked at Yu Chuqing and said seriously, ”this should be no problem. I remember that in order to manage these Qingyang adherents, the officials in the six counties were the most in Northern Xinjiang, and the county soldiers and yamen servants in the six counties were also the most in Northern Xinjiang. That's to naturalize these grassland people as soon as possible and prevent accidents. Haven't they been safe for the past 20 years?”
”What the old prime minister said is true, but it can only prove that the policy is effective in a short period of time, and it can not prove that it is safe in a long period of time.” Yu Chuqing shook her head and continued, ”as the old prime minister said, there are more officials sent to the six counties for education and governance than other places in Northern Xinjiang. However, there is one thing that these officials are all from Daqian people. If there is a conflict between the local Daqian people and the Qingyang adherents, how does the old Prime Minister think that the local government will judge, and he will enforce the law impartially? Or to the local people? ”
”This ~” Zhuo Xianran heard that the qingmuyan people were Miao descendants of the Yan Emperor. In the past ten thousand years, Daqian established nine unified imperial dynasties, each of which was the most powerful and the most powerful. Therefore, whether it is the nomadic people of grassland or the oasis people of Shahai, the people of Daqian always have an innate sense of superiority.
What's more, when the Qingyang Empire invaded the south, it made a lot of blood debts in Northern Xinjiang. The northern frontier counties were newly developed, and most of the people who moved were people whose homes were destroyed because of the war. They were Qingyang people with many contradictions. What's more, these Qingyang adherents were rootless people whose families and countries had been destroyed. We can imagine that they were in the counties where Qingyang adherents were resettled, The relationship between Daqian people and Qingyang adherents must not be so harmonious.
When the local government adjudicates the contradictions between the Daqian people and the Qingyang adherents, it is obvious that it will prefer its own people. If it's only once or twice, it's OK, but with the accumulation of time, the contradiction between Daqian people and Qingyang adherents will become more and more uncontrollable, and the depression and anger in Qingyang adherents' hearts will also increase day by day.
”It seems that the old prime minister has figured it out.” Seeing that Zhuo Xianran's face was constantly changing, Yu Chuqing continued with a smile, ”when I was strong, all this was not a problem. Everything would be hidden under the prosperity. But if I was weak, as long as one of these Qingyang adherents raised his hand, he would get the support of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people and immediately become a vassal, If Daqian's military strength also began to decline and the military equipment of the Frontier Corps was lax at that time, the ten odd border counties in Northern Xinjiang would not return to Daqian within a few months. ”
”What your highness said is reasonable. At that time, the old minister and the Duke of Anguo were not as long-term as they thought.” When Yu Chuqing finished, Zhuo Xianran nodded.
Although Yu Chuqing, the eldest princess, pointed out the drawbacks and shortcomings of his and Luo canglan's administration in those years, Zhuo Xianran knew that the eldest princess didn't use it to criticize him, so he didn't feel uncomfortable. He has been an official for decades, and has been in the position of prime minister. He still has this kind of mind. And Zhuo Xianran really thinks that what Princess Chang said is reasonable. His and Luo canglan's policies at that time only solved the problem in a short time. In the long run, they buried a big disaster. As long as there is a spark, it may be the disaster of starting a prairie fire.
”Does your highness have a solution?” Zhuo Xianran looks at Yu Chuqing and asks.
”Divide and change, disperse Qingyang adherents to more than 100 counties in the twelve side counties of Northern Xinjiang. Because of the distance, these scattered Qingyang people's contacts will be reduced. After one or two generations, they will naturally break up contact, and no longer be known as a family.”
”Although it's a bit troublesome, the effect over the past few decades is better than it is now. It's just that it can't solve all the problems. Your highness, please explain it carefully. I'm all ears.” Zhuo Xianran hears speech to think carefully to say again.
”Go on, elder sister.” Emperor Yu Yuanxu sees Yu Chuqing drinking tea in a leisurely way. He can't help but hasten.
