Chapter 66: Selection of Junqi in Congcui Ranch, Jinxiu Palace to raise Loli on

It is said that Zhao Jin narrowly defeated Xiao Ruoyu, Xiao Ruoyi lost, and the Khitan Xiao clan returned to the Yan Han Dynasty. This tribe can be large, divided into dozens of small parts, each of which is about 1,000 households. Although tens of thousands of people died in natural disasters, many old and weak people died along the road during the migration, and there are still 160,000 to 70,000 people today. Zhao Jin ordered the Muzhou garrison to move out of the grain accumulation and provide relief. The Khitan tribe cheered and cried.

Zhao Jin inspected the disaster victims in various ministries accompanied by Xiao Ruoying. Seeing that they basically had no old people and few children, he knew what was going on and couldn't help sighing.

Han people have a tradition of respecting the old and loving the young, which is because conditions permit, but in the era of war, there are also tragedies of "getting their children and eating". Nomads have not had the habit of respecting the elderly since ancient times. They follow the laws of nature and will be eliminated when they are old. Therefore, the Han people have always been quite prejudiced against the Hu people. They believe that it is unfilial to raise young people with good things and old people with bad things. Unexpectedly, there is no condition of filial piety! In ancient times, the living environment was harsh, and the old age must make the young man hungry, and the young man was even more unable to get food and clothing. So how can the whole race be maintained? When the life of nomads gets better and better, it will naturally form a tradition of caring for the elderly. As for children, nomadic people have cattle and sheep, and they will not go to the point of "eating by changing their children", but when they are in trouble, there is no way to abandon some children and let them live and die.

As for the plundering of nomadic peoples, this is lawless in modern times, but in ancient times, it is also natural. The Han people are always worried about the Hu people's invasion of Han land in history, but in fact, how did the Han people's territory come from? Since ancient times, it has gradually occupied a fertile place suitable for farming through competition. The territory of the early Shang Dynasty was only more than 100,000 square kilometers, but by the time the Han Dynasty was established, it had several million square kilometers.

It originated from the ancestors of Yanhuang and proliferated in China. The Han people drove the Hu people out of the Central Plains and made them wander in the barren and cold land. The Hu people adapted to natural conditions to survive, so they repeatedly invaded the Central Plains, causing countless sufferings to the Han people. These can only be said to be natural selection, and it is difficult to say who is wrong.

Zhao Jin lives in this place where many ethnic groups merge. Seeing this era of adversity, his heart is not as simple as many modern novices think: "Kill the tas, destroy the tas!" With the mind of a ruler, you can't be extreme and need to deal with things rationally.

To treat properly, of course, there is no need to be too preferential; if you want to strive for integration, it is a good thing to be willing to integrate, but if you refuse to integrate, it must be curbed, so as to avoid long-term cultural barriers and racial barriers, which will inevitably lead to changes; if you want to be kind, you can't expect gratitude, because even the Han people will not remember the kindness of the rulers and the long-term feeling of the nomads. Well, that's impossible. Just like the Han Dynasty once took good care of the Huns who had been affected by the south. When the Han Dynasty was strong, the Huns were obedient, but when the Han Dynasty faced chaos, they had to make waves.

Yanhan is located on the Eurasian border and has many ethnic groups. How to deal with ethnic issues is very difficult. Zhao Zhen learned from historical events and gradually formed his own set of methods, combining kindness and power, strengthening centralization, strengthening local control, avoiding civil strife, and promoting ethnic integration.

Integration is the strength of Chinese culture. Thousands of ethnic groups in ancient times merged into the Han people of later generations. Many peoples in Europe, Asia and Africa have fought for thousands of years and have not yet achieved integration. For its reason, "books and texts" are extremely important. Because Chinese characters are an outstanding hieroglyphics, they have irreplaceable advantages over alphabetic characters. Because as long as the geographical distance is slightly farther away, there must be a difference in accents. The race that uses letters will inevitably lead to differences in words due to accent differences, resulting in permanent racial barriers. Just like the writings of European ethnic groups, they all originated from the Phoenician alphabet, but in the process of transmission, they gradually alienated and formed various alphabetic writing systems. However, in China, although there are hundreds of dialect accent differences, they are all unified Chinese characters. A new part is integrated, and Chinese characters are also used. It is impossible to make such a set of hieroglyphs - which is tens of thousands of times more difficult than making a set of letters!

Therefore, Zhao Jin realized the powerful role of Chinese characters in the maintenance system and promoting integration. Since the founding of the country, he has promoted Chinese characters and become the only set of popular characters in Yan Han. Chinese characters are not only implemented, but also Chinese with Zhao's "public dialect" as the standard. Since then, all ethnic groups in China have stopped speaking their own words. They have learned to speak Chinese and advocated learning to write Chinese characters. This seems to be a tough and authoritarian policy, but the benefits are in today and future generations. If Zhao Jin does not enforce this policy based on his authority at this time, temporary accommodation will lead to endless trouble in the future.

Xiao Ruoying listened to Zhao Yu's words that he wanted their whole family to speak Chinese in the future, and he did not resist. Because Khitan is also one of the Chinese nation, the upper class can speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and even write lyrics and poems.

Zhao Jin also suggested that Xiao Ruoying separate some ethnic groups to settle in the city and learn to be craftsmen. Xiao Ruoying pondered for a moment. Zhao Jin explained to her: "This is for survival. Your tribe has lost too much livestock. It's better to transfer the population to the city, which is good for both the people and the country.

Xiao Ruoying understood and nodded. Zhao Jin vigorously explained the principle of national integration to her and described the bright prospects of each other and being a family in the future. I don't know whether Zhao Jin is quite eloquence or Xiao Ruoying's heart. She was deeply moved by this and felt that Zhao Zhen really thought so for everyone's good, so she agreed.

At this time, a subtle feeling naturally arises between the two people. That is, they feel that each other will be their perfect spouse.

Isn't it? When A Ruoyang pointed to Zhao Jin, the momentum was like asking him if he was worthy of himself; and Zhao Jin made a ghost come out, that is to tell her - who I don't deserve it?!

We both have this idea, but it's not easy to talk. Xiao Ruoying is very reserved, and because of his status, it is difficult to take the initiative to throw himself into Zhao Yu. At a young age, she has a special leadership demeanor and does not feel immature in front of her subordinates. Even Zhao Jin has an illusion of "not a sister, but a sister" when he sees her. She is taller than Zhao Jin. Zhao Jinshen feels that he is a little shorter than her, but he likes her unique strong and soft taste very much. Think about it again, ordinary women are easy to get, but such women are rare! For many women's herbs, of course, chasing this kind of chic woman is to chase. More satisfying men's desire to conquer!

Thinking about this, Zhao Jin seems to have returned to the era when he was also 18 years old, with a frivolous mentality. It is said that "men are simple creatures". When you meet a woman you like, you won't think too much about complicated things.

"The country should be well governed and life should be rich and colorful!" Zhao Jin then went back and forth with Xiao Ruoyi, took time to swim in the mountains and rivers with her, and galloped horses to enjoy flowers, just like a couple. They have forgived each other, but they are not too intimate with each other. Soon the two became familiar. Zhao Zhen only called Xiao Ruoyi "A Ruo", and Xiao Ruoying still called him "King" or "Your Majesty".

turn the enemy into a relative and the crisis will be resolved. People from all walks of life in Yanhan embarked on their way home. The Khitan tribe temporarily stayed in the area of Cangzhou and Muzhou to recuperate, while Xiao Ruoying and a group of his subordinates followed Zhao Jin to Anhanfu. Zhao Jin wanted to please Xiao Ruoying and was ready to give her a batch of horses, so he took her to the Cangyuan Royal Horse Farm to choose a good horse.

By the Ural River, the water flow is vast, some of thousands of horses move slowly, and some run freely, forming a harmonious and magnificent picture.

"The best horse you have here, show me first." Zhao Jin ordered the general manager of the imperial horse farm.

Ying Nuo, the general manager, ordered his wrangler to bring two horses and pointed to them and said to the king, "This is the new BMW from this year, and I am about to present it to the king. Unexpectedly, the king came to my place in person, and the little people were lucky for three lifetimes!"

Zhao Jin looked at it and said with a smile, "BMW! However, it is not enough to say 'unrivaled'. Don't you see Lord Aruo's one behind me?

The general manager saw that there was someone behind Zhao Jin, but because he was a woman, he didn't dare to look more. At this time, she looked at her BMW green lion and said in surprise, "This is really a BMW! The villain has never seen such a good pup.

Zhao Jin smiled and said, "Have you learned more?"

The general manager looked familiar with the green lion and found the long legs of the rider. He couldn't help looking up at Xiao Ruoying. I don't know who she is. I saw her luxurious clothes and thought it was Zhao Jin's concubine. She quickly said to Zhao Jin, "Your Majesty, dares not be under the king BMW."

Zhao Zhen was happy and deliberately shouted, "Inno way! Where is this lady? She is my guest. Don't be rude.

The general manager was shocked. Xiao Ruoying's face was not as reserved as ordinary girls. She shouted generously, "Get up quickly. I'm just a minister of the new king. I came here to see the horse. Seeing her extraordinary temperament, the general manager was shocked and couldn't figure out who she was and what she had to do with the king. In a word, don't look at her if she is rude, don't say anything, and retreat quickly.

Zhao Jin and Xiao Ruoyi galloped down with the green lion, looked forward to take a closer look at the two new horses sent up, and then rode them separately. They were really as light as clouds. After a try, the two of them dismant from the horse. Zhao Jin was very satisfied and said to Xiao Ruoyu, "A Ruo, you know that such a BMW is very rare, and it is not easy to find one in previous years. You came this year, but you got two at once. Blessed are you! I will give you these two BMWs. In addition, I will send you 200 special military horses, 1,000 first-class military horses and 2,000 second-class military horses.

Xiao Ruoyi listened and meditated slightly.

Zhao Jinqi said, "Why, are you not satisfied?"

"It's not." Xiao Ruoying hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am grateful. I don't know how to repay you? If you don't give up, I will give you this green lion."

Zhao Jin was shocked to hear this. The green lion is an unparalleled BMW in the world. Moreover, I heard Xiao Ruoyi say that the green lion has been raised by her own hands for five years. What kind of heart is it to give away your beloved green lion? Zhao Jin's generosity was suddenly compared with her, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed. I asked myself directly, "Is galloping my best horse and accompanying me for three years? Will I give it away? It can be said that it has never been considered. A Ruo is really bold!"

After such a thought, Zhao Jin was stunned and said with a smile, "A Ruo, how can I take away your love? I only appreciate your kindness." Speaking of this, I was afraid that it would be strange to say more polite words, so I quickly changed the topic and said, "These two new horses for you, let me name them. They were born in Cangyuan and took Cangyuan as their surname. This yellow horse has white spots on its front feet. How about calling it Ling Shuang? This red horse... is called exhaust! Aha, I got up casually. If it's not good, please don't laugh.

Xiao Ruoyu said, "Ling Shuang, exhaust. King Jinkou, there is no bad reason. So I thanked Zhao for his kindness. Zhao Jin helped each other. Although he had never touched the skin through his armor, his heart was a little hot. That day's fight was simply unbearable. Fortunately, only two people knew about it, and others couldn't see how to fight from afar. Well, there is a common secret buried, which does not need to be remembered or forgotten.

I have been visiting the horse farm until I saw the sunset of the Long River. On the way back to the horse, it passes through a group of miscellaneous horses, that is, inferior horses below the third class, which are not suitable for combat and can only be used for transportation. They are not taken care of, and the grass they eat is poor, and their treatment is far worse than that of good horses. Suddenly, Xiao Ruoying noticed something and shouted, "Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

"Look at that horse."

Zhao Jin looked at it as Xiao Ruoying pointed out and saw that it was an ugly horse with mixed colors and reed flowers, and some of his hairs on his body were still bald. Zhao Jin smiled and said, "Aha, these weed creatures, look at what they do!" A Ruo, do you like..."

"Your Majesty." Xiao Ruoying didn't let Zhao Jin turn the topic away and insisted, "Your Majesty, please watch it again."

"Ah?" Zhao Jin stared at it again and didn't know what to do after looking at it for a long time. The miscellaneous horse is not good in appearance and stature. It is nothing more than easy to move. After a while, it will run and wear around in the horse herd, which looks quite naughty. Zhao Jin concluded: "Haha, naughty ugly child."

"Your Majesty! Try to catch it."

"Good! Let's catch it together and see who catches it first!" Zhao Jin saw that Xiao Ruoying was interested and simply accompanied her. Under the afterglow of the sunset, the two drove away the miscellaneous horse. The horses ran wildly and were so lively. Zhao Jin chased the miscellaneous horse among the chaotic horses, and finally saw it. He praised, "A Ruo, you have a strong vision!"

It turns out that the horse can dodge, can collide, plagiarism without losing dexterity, indomitable temperament, and good endurance. Xiao Ruoying and Zhao Jin chased after it and surrounded it. It shuttled against the horse group and noticed that someone was chasing behind it. It was not afraid. It turned around and ran around Zhao Zhen and Xiao Ruoying.

"Look, it's self-recommended!" Zhao Jin smiled and said, "There are also good horses among the weeds! But Bole is not often there, and many of them are buried!"

Xiao Ruoying nodded: "Your Majesty must feed this horse well, otherwise once this year passes, if he still let himself live, the divine horse will be gone!"

"Don't worry. I give it the same treatment! Eat bean, dried alfalfa and Gaza spines every day. After keeping it fat, you can catch up with a first-class BMW!" Zhao Jin waved to the soldiers who followed far away, took the miscellaneous horse back, and raised it with the gallop to take good care of it. As for its name, because it comes from weeds, it is simply called weeds.

Is Xiao Ruoyu really lucky? After coming to Yanhan, they were like fish in water, and even BMWs with Yanhan emerged one after another. Until the end of autumn of this year, Cangyuan Royal Horse Farm produced Cangyuan Lingshuang, Cangyuan exhaust wind, Cangyuan weeds, and the northern imperial horse farm also produced northern purple and northern gold, a total of five super first-class BMWs, all of which are similar to Wangcheng galloping and Wangcheng galloping.

Xiao Ruoyi gave the Cangyuan Lingshuang given by Zhao Jin to Li Baozhao, and the Cangyuan exhaust wind to Xia Yao. Zhao Yu raised the Cangyuan weeds and gave them to Ganbasu - from then on, He Pan had a struggle in the royal city, and Ganbasu had Cangyuan weeds, which was a very match. As for the purple qi in the north and the gold in the north, they were given to Qi Jin and Wu Da respectively. It was the good generals with BMW to help them guard the border.
