Some wines get hotter the more you drink, but the colder it gets.

The snow sways on the pine branches, and the bonfire cannot drive away the chill in my heart.

At that time, Jiang Jie had just entered the officialdom and asked inexplicably: "What do you think of the laws of the Han family?"

The house was filled with laughter and the snow fell from the pine branches.

The old chief of Qiang people held a bone bowl inlaid with gold and silver and sneered: "Can you know the rules of the grassland? The wolf cubs are willing to follow the strongest wolf, but not the words carved on the stone..."

Recalling this scene, Jiang Jie's hand trembled slightly. He lowered his head, and revealed these past and previous confusions one by one to Fei Qian and Pan, and asked earnestly: "Lord, the Qiang people fear power but not virtue. If they use laws and regulations to suppress them, then the Hu people are afraid but do not know what to fear. If they are benevolent and moral, then the Han officials are separated but cannot last long... Although there are Southern Xiongnu as an example, the Qiang people are different after all..."

Jiang Jie looked up at Fei Qian, and then bowed again, "There are many people in Qiang and the tribes are scattered, which is definitely not comparable to the Southern Xiongnu... If there is no long-term plan, my subordinates... I am afraid that time will change, and it will be like before... I hope the lord will give me some advice to defend the Qiang and Hu and protect Longxi for a hundred years of peace and peace!"

After hearing what Jiang Jie said, Fei Qian slightly told Jiang Jie to drink tea and calm down a little.

The Southern Xiongnu's spirit was beaten alive by the Han people.

From the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two sides fought and stopped for two or three hundred years. The big man forced the prototype of a huge grassland and desert empire into a lonely wolf that escaped with his tail. The Southern Xiongnu were just a small wolf cub in this pack. By the Three Kingdoms period, even though they still looked like a wolf, their tail had already begun to learn to shake.

Under such circumstances, the Chineseization of the Southern Xiongnu is actually not difficult.

After all, in history, the Southern Xiongnu themselves took the initiative to give a Chinese name after the Three Kingdoms, which was used to express their admiration for the Han family and their bloodliness.

But the Qiang people are different, there are many people in the East, the West, and the number is large.

Another key point is that although the Qiang people had big leaders, old chiefs, and even alliance leaders like Beigong, there has been no quantitative change that led to qualitative change, forming a structure similar to the Huns. This is the disadvantage of the Qiang people, but in a sense it is the disadvantage of the Han people who want to Chineseize them.

So when dealing with the Huns, when the spiritual symbol of the Huns, the so-called golden bloodline was defeated, the Southern Huns were even wolf whose backbone had been cut off, and they could not be fierce. However, the Qiang people could not say that there was no so-called "backbone". Most of the Qiang people gathered for profit and then collapsed because of profit.

Will the thing of interest never appear again because of the death of a person or the dissipation of a tribe?

Obviously, it is not possible.

Nowadays, the Qiang people are obedient, on the one hand, because Beigong has just died shortly after. Even if they want to cause trouble, they have no leader. Another very important reason is that Fei Qian brought benefits to the Qiang people.

In this case, the Qiang people naturally cannot make trouble, but Fei Qian can give it to others, and when will Fei Qian or the officials sent to the Western Qiang have any problems? What should the Qiang people do?

The education of the Southern Xiongnu was that because most of the Southern Xiongnu were in Yinshan at that time, they were concentrated and the firewood was removed from the bottom of the pot, so they became. However, the Western Qiang was so widely distributed and had a vast land and sparse population. Even if they wanted to educate, how many educations would it take? How many years would it take?

These are all problems...

Fei Qian listened to the questions raised by Jiang Jie, but did not feel disgusted because Jiang Jie kept asking questions, but felt relieved.

Fei Qian did not immediately respond to Jiang Jie's question, but took him to the top of Tongguan city.

At this moment, lights were lit on the Tongguan city tower, and smoke began to emerge from the military camps on the earth plateau and the military sheds in the forbidden ditches.

The men and horses brought by Jiang Jie seemed to have become hazy in the twilight and smoke, and mixed with other troops that were originally in the Tongguan Ban Gully.

Jiang Jie looked at it and seemed to have some insights in his heart.

Fei Qian looked at Jiang Jie's expression change, and he was quite satisfied.

This person is one of the legacy left by Li Ru.

Because they have the blood of Qiang people, they are also more suitable as candidates to manage and sort out the relationships between Han and Qiang people and establish long-term institutional institutions.

Having the Qiang bloodline should not be Jiang Jiong's disadvantage, but rather, Jiang Jiong's advantage.

The Qiang people should be like the Southern Xiongnu people, integrating into the Han culture rather than being out of the way. This integration is absolutely impossible to achieve by relying solely on violence.

It's very simple, because the Qiang people can escape.

Unlike later generations, the strict household registration control system for the Central Plains, in such a vast area with sparsely populated areas, the ancient household registration system was basically just a big deal. Not to mention Qiang people, even ordinary Hu Hu could leave as soon as they wanted, and lay a roll of tents at any time. Where can I find people all over the mountains?

If you just blindly violence, these people will definitely run away!

Back then, did the Huns escape to the Western Regions?

What Fei Qian wants is people, people who can produce and contribute to the Han Dynasty, not those land and grasslands!

Look at the Huns who had crossed the east and west of the desert back then, the territory was large enough? But how much output was there? There were many grasslands occupied? But how many core soldiers were there? If the core tribe was destroyed, the entire Huns collapsed. When it was time to escape, could they be taken away by the grasslands left in the desert?

Therefore, the key is to keep people, like the Southern Xiongnu, they will become part of China, and they will not disgust the main body of China.

"Lord..." Jiang Jie looked at the military camp under Tongguan, "Hu Han mixed up, and also implemented it in Longyou... It does have some effect, but the customs of the Han people are different. After a long time, the Han people are looking for the Han people, and the Hu people look for the Hu people..."

This is a human nature, and it cannot be solved by simply mixing it.

Hu Han’s mixed work is not Fei Qian’s innovation.

"Hu Han's mixed work, this is the first step..."

Fei Qian pointed to the military camp under Tongguan and said.

Jiang Jie's eyes lit up, "So... can I have something my subordinates can do? Please give me instructions!"

Fei Qian smiled and nodded, "The Hu people value blood oath, the Han people value ancestors... It seems different, but in fact it is one... Now, you might as well start with this point..."

"Blood oath, ancestor?" Jiang Jie repeated.

Fei Qian nodded, "You might as well call it...Blood Swearing Covenant!"

The battle flags at the top of Tongguan city were roaring in the twilight, as if they were singing softly across thousands of years.

Fei Qian held the battlements in Tongguan and touched the mottled marks on the battlements with his fingers.

Traces of war.

These traces will slowly passivate and disappear with time, but in the end, something will have to be left behind.

It's just like the miscellaneous Hu education that Fei Qian is now promoting.

It's difficult, but it has to be done.

Fei Qian raised his head and looked into the distance.

The smoke rising from the forbidden ditch blends with the sunset, dyeing the entire earth plateau red and golden, making it look particularly beautiful.

"Tomorrow is here to build an altar." Fei Qian suddenly spoke, reached out and pointed forward, "Just on the soil plate in front..."

"Altar?" Jiang Jie was stunned for a moment.

Fei Qian nodded, "This place has the water of Tong, Wei, Luosanchuan, Hedong, Longyou, Sichuan, and Heluo, which is enough to lay the altar of the great sacrifice..."

Jiang Er was shocked.

That's right!

The Han people valued ancestors, while the Qiang people valued blood oaths, but one of the two was the same, that was the sacrificial ceremony!

When Jiang Jie was young, he also followed his father to participate in the Qiang people's white horse festival.

At that time, the Qiang people were very powerful and arrogant.

At the White Horse Festival at that time, the selected boy had to fight against the wild wolf with a short blade!

The blood of the killed wild wolf will be applied to the stone slab representing the White Horse God...
