"Migration of the Southern Huns to the hometown of Wuhuan?"

"Cough-cough-"

Seeing this commemoration by Yushi Zhongcheng Wang Yan, the already weak emperor Liu Zhao couldn't help but read the memorial.

"Since Wuhuan exterminated the clan, the land at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain has been occupied by Xianbei people."

"The Xianbei people often invaded the land of Youzhou in the south, and the counties of Youzhou were plundered, and the people often fled."

"If the southern Xiongnu can be moved to the former land of Wuhuan, and the southern Xiongnu can block the Xianbei, then Youzhou will have no worries."

It turned out that it was Wang Bian's massacre policy decades ago that completely wiped out Wuhuan.

The Wuhuan people either went south and became subjects under the direct rule of the Han, farming and paying taxes for the Han, or fled north and became Xianbei people. Wuhuan as a nation has been completely extinct.

The original grassland of the Wuhuan people was occupied by several Xianbei tribes. These Xianbei tribes often went south to invade Youzhou, which was more threatening than Wuhuan before.

Emperor Liu Zhao thought about it, and felt that this method is feasible, and then replied: "Yes."

Just as he finished his reply, he suddenly felt a severe pain in his heart.

"Wow!--"

The overly diligent emperor Liu Zhao spit out a mouthful of blood, and then died of complete exasperation and passed away.

He has been working hard all his life to strengthen the national power of the Han Dynasty, including encouraging births, reducing taxes, providing free rations for newly pregnant women, defeating Xianbei, making them pay tribute, and completely defeating the Northern Huns, making them flee to the west , Improve the official avoidance system, prohibit local people from being officials in the local area, optimize the probation system, change the probation system from two quotas per county per year to one quota per 20 population, promote Cai Lun's papermaking skills, etc.

At the same time, at the Taixue in Luoyang.

"Teacher, the students still understand the fourth chapter of "Lian Shan Yi" just now." 27-year-old Ma Rong is asking 42-year-old Wang Wei to explain the content of "Lian Shan Yi".

"Lian Shan Yi" has long been lost. Although many people in the Central Plains know that "Lian Shan Yi" once existed through some historical books of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they have never seen it.

However, it is this kind of lost books that the Wang family actually has.

More than 300 years ago, Wang Kang, the ancestor of the Wang family, snatched it after annihilating a hermit Ji Zhou family, and it has been treasured in the Zangshu Pavilion of the Wang Family Academy.

Relying on his explanation of "Lian Shan Yi", Wang Wei was surrounded by countless scholars. Many gentry children came to learn his "Lian Shan Yi". Stele], and the noble status of the descendants of Wang Changzhi, Wang Changjiong, and Wang Bian, so he has undoubtedly become a great Confucianist in the world.

And ten years ago, the talented woman Ban Zhao became his wife and gave birth to a boy for him.

Ban Zhao also specially re-edited the "Book of Han", correcting the life experience of Wang Changzhi and Wang Changjiong in it.

"Ji Chang, the meaning of this article is..."

If other gentry disciples came to ask for advice, Wang Wei might not have time to answer, but Ma Rong was his favorite disciple and the most talented among his many disciples, so Wang Wei was happy to explain to Ma Rong.

"Students probably understand, thank you teacher." Ma Rong saluted Wang Wei, very grateful.

"Children can be taught." Wang Wei nodded with satisfaction, and then began to explain "Lian Shan Yi" to other disciples.

While explaining, he was still thinking about whether the migration of the Southern Huns would be possible.

A few months ago, in order to spread the family's mature papermaking skills to the Central Plains, benefit the poor families in the Central Plains, and further promote Confucianism, he had no choice but to agree to the request of the family council and nominate a son of the Wang family as the governor of Liaodong. Let the eunuch Cai Lun slap the emperor around.

Originally, a few years ago, the emperor had banned local people from being local officials, so Wang Hao did not want to recommend his family disciples to serve as the prefect of Liaodong, lest he would offend the emperor.

But for the sake of scholars all over the world, and in order to spread papermaking to the Central Plains, he could only disregard his own reputation and brazenly recommend someone from his family to serve as the governor of Liaodong.

At first, Emperor Liu Zhao was unwilling to violate the rules he had set, and refused to let the Wang family's children be appointed as the prefect of Liaodong. Next to the word, No. 13th generation family descendants) served as the governor of Liaodong.

With Wang Huang's appointment as the prefect of Liaodong, the Wang family council was willing to let go of the papermaking technology that the Wang family had strictly forbidden to leak for 300 years, and handed over the entire process of papermaking to Cai Lun, who had contributed the most.

And Cai Lun was able to gain a lot of fame by promoting papermaking, and was further reused by the emperor.

However, this is not enough, Wang Wei also wants to spread the production technology of [keel waterwheel] to the Central Plains, so as to benefit the people of the Central Plains.

Undoubtedly, his proposal was unanimously rejected by the family council.

Are you kidding me? The agricultural technology that the Wang family has worked so hard to develop finally has some productivity advantages. How can it be easily released to others?
Didn't my Wang family just work for the imperial court for nothing?Isn't this equivalent to begging on your knees?
In the family council, there were even bad-tempered family members who directly scolded the head of the family, Wang Wei, for being a spy. He was a traitor to the Wang family for thinking about selling out the high-tech of the Wang family all day long!
In the end, it was Wang Yu who persuaded the family council to agree to release the manufacturing technology of the [keel waterwheel] to the Central Plains on the condition that the southern Xiongnu migrated to the Wuhuan Grassland.

As long as he, Wang Wei, can successfully persuade the emperor to move the Southern Huns to the Wuhuan Grassland, the family council will open up the production technology of [keel waterwheel].

This is mainly because since Wuhuan was accidentally exterminated by the Wang family, the Xianbei people took the opportunity to occupy the Wuhuan grassland, so the Wang family could no longer go there to rob livestock.

After all, the Xianbei people are much stronger than the Wuhuan people who have been divided and disintegrated, and they can't rob them by force.

Because they couldn't grab the Xianbei people for the time being, the Wang family had no choice but to do a smuggling trade with the Xianbei people, selling all kinds of ironware to the Xianbei people, and then exchanging them for cattle and horses from the Xianbei people.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. The iron smelting workshop of the Wang family has to produce iron plows, iron hoes, shovels, shovels, iron axes and other land reclamation tools non-stop. For the time being, there is no extra production capacity to specialize in the production of iron products needed by Xianbei people. arms.

If you want to produce the iron weapons that the Xianbei people need, you have to give up the production capacity of those tools for land reclamation. This is undoubtedly slowing down the speed of the Wang family's overseas land reclamation.

Moreover, the Xianbei people relied on him as the only livestock seller, relying on their monopoly position in livestock, the price was too high, and their livestock price was only half lower than that in the Central Plains, which is simply unreasonable!
In the past, the livestock of the Wuhuan people were almost free. How can you Xianbei people sell half of the price in the Central Plains?It's too dark too!

Therefore, some children of the family had a whimsical idea, and moved the Southern Huns who had lived in Dahan Bingzhou for decades to the Wuhuan Grassland, and used the power of the Southern Huns to drive away the Xianbei people, and then the Huns and Xianbei people contained each other on the grassland. Competing with each other, both sides need to buy the iron weapons of the Wang family to defeat each other. In this way, a situation that is beneficial to the Wang family can be formed.

There are two livestock sellers, so the Wang family can take advantage of the opportunity to negotiate prices on both sides. Otherwise, if only the Xianbei family sells livestock, the Wang family will have no room for bargaining under the situation where the Xianbei family dominates.
