On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Holy Lord arrived at Yanqi Mansion. Because of the cold wind and heavy snow, he stopped.

Every household is preparing for the New Year.

Yes, it's the New Year.

The foreigners had been a little Tang Hua, and Mohu knew the concept of Dian Nian Festival. But they would not take the initiative to go there. They were really driven by the influence of the local ruling class.

Culture is all-encompassing and has too much content.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are culture, language and writing are culture, artistic beliefs are culture, and customs and traditions are also culture.

Is the cultural differences between the Xia people and the Persians just the difference in religion? That's too narrow.

This thing accounts for less than one percent.

The food you eat, the house you live in, the clothes you wear, the language and writing, the artistic aesthetics you have, the festival customs are too many...

How do you change the difference between people and you?

Generally speaking, there are two ways.

The first type is effective the fastest, and if the force changes, you will be punished if you don’t accept it until you accept it.

The second method is a peaceful method. Use a higher dimension of civilization to naturally induce changes in others and eventually converge with you.

The Dinghai Shen Needle in Yanqi Mansion is the two thousand soldiers.

As the masters and the ruling class, under their intentional or unintentional guidance, the corps also changed actively or passively.

The snow had just stopped this day.

In Zhang Village, Dayong Township, Yanqi County, a long team of exorcist exorcism beat the thin waist drum and walked out of the village.

The thin waist drum is made by local craftsmen.

This is a small detail of assimilation. The local Hu craftsmen in Yanqi may not have been able to make this style of thin waist drum before, until they had a "customer order".

After doing it, he will try to understand the purpose of this thin waist drum. Over time, the Central Plains culture was learned by this Hu craftsman.

This is the basis of everything, because only by understanding first can there be a possibility of making changes later.

The composition of the exorcist team is also very complex, basically a mixture of Fan and Han dynasties, with some beating drums, some holding Vajras, and some dancing beside them. In short, it is very lively and very happy.

Through this ritual activity that was jointly participated in, everyone unconsciously deepened their connection.

While knocking and beating, the team came to the sea (Bosten Lake). With the leader shouting, people lit the paper man representing the disease and threw it into the lake.

Then, several masks representing the epidemic were hung on the big tree by the lake, and everyone was holding bows and arrows and shooting them from afar.

In this event, Huang Tai, a soldier from the government, was the most popular, and he was proud of every arrow.

When I was in the Central Plains, some people could practice for a long time just for these activities.

"Which department is yours? How fast is the archery shooting?" After the event, Huang Tai walked up to someone and asked.

"Zhang~Hei~dog." This person can't speak official words, but he still knows the name of the owner.

Huang Tai couldn't help laughing and said, "You barked Zhang Heigou? That's good! Zhang Heigou is like shooting skills, but when he is big and thick, he is really a god and ghost. In the future, he will be in front of him. If you steal Lengzi and shoot arrows from behind, you will definitely be able to kill all directions."

Biqu looked at him with a blank look.

Huang Tai didn't care, so he took out a pack of raisins from his pocket and threw them to him, saying, "Don't give up on yourself. With such skills, you can make meritorious things. And with the credit, you don't have to be a clique. Practice hard."

The troops on the palace do not necessarily go alone.

Food, armor, weapons, etc., and a lot of luggage. Sometimes a pack horse cannot be put down and requires two horses to carry it. At this time, you often take a group on the road.

During the former Tang Dynasty, some soldiers of the palace did not want to go out to fight, and even let the troops run on their behalf. These troops had more or less certain combat power and were highly militarized people.

After the Nuo exorcism was completed, the team returned to the village.

This village is quite particular. Ten soldiers from the house gathered some sheep and exchanged seven or eight pigs from the merchants and slaughtered them on the spot.

After the killing, they asked their respective troops to share the meat, and gave them some wine, and told them to eat it after worshiping the Kitchen God.

The partisans didn't understand this custom very well, so they could only inquire about each other, learn from each other, and then happily went home with the meat wine.

The Han style and Tang style entered the lives of the foreign people bit by bit. The so-called assimilation is nothing more than this.

*******

"In the past, Tathagata explained the teachings mostly to the mountains and forests, but now this monk is mostly to the city." In the Tongguang Temple of Yanqi, the two minor officials were speechless when they looked at the newly-launched temple.

They came to patrol.

The court gave Anxi Road temples the privilege of exempting taxes and allocated part of the land, but it did not mean that they ignored it.

"Long Qilang, seven acres in the middle, five acres in the second, half acres of peach..." After sighing, the two began to reconcile.

"Dragon thirteen, nine, seven, peach and one tree..."

"Hela, eight in the middle, six in the second, and two acres of peaches with twenty-four steps..."

"Nuhan..."

"Zhong" means Nakata, and "Zhi" means Shibata.

"Peach" means "Pujiao", which means a grape field.

The two of them had a long time to match the numbers in the account book. Then they rode their horses to the Temple near Tongguang Temple to verify them one by one.

After the imperial court captured Yanqi, most of the land was "own without a master", so part of it was allocated to the newly built Tongguang Temple.

The temple abbot was Fahai, the apprentice of Master Lisheng, Gaochang, who came here to spread the branches and leaves and built the first Lanruo in Yanqi Mansion after the war.

Fahai had been waiting by the road for a long time.

Unlike most people imagine, Fahai is tall and strong, has a fierce face, and is good at using iron sticks. When fighting, no matter what armor you are wearing, I will give you a stick, and nothing will work.

"The two officials are polite, I have been waiting here for a long time." Fahai clasped his hands together and tried his best to "be kind-eyed and kind-eyed".

"There is no need for politeness to those outside the mage." The two laughed and said, "We are also here to inspect the prefect, so I'll trouble the mage."

"It should be." Fahai said.

After saying that, let’s lead the way and introduce which field belongs to which one, whether it is the upper field, middle field, down field, or planted trees, grapes, or other crops.

Of course, Fahai only needs to introduce it. He followed several monks and shouted out the tenants in the temple field one by one, so that they could check it at any time.

It can be seen that the tenants were a little restrained when seeing monks. It was not only because they rented other people's fields, but also because the temple itself was a complete closed-loop economic system. To put it too much of the things that an ordinary farmer needs for birth, old age, sickness and death can be solved within this economic system.

"I heard that there were many Sogdians in the past years and Persian Hu Shang came from the east. Are they still here now?" The two minor officials randomly checked several farmhouses and asked after not finding any problems.

"Last year, the war was in chaos and no one came." Fahai asked several farmers in Uighur language and said, "But these Hu merchants are indeed suspicious. If they encounter them in the future, they will definitely investigate them strictly."

Both of them were speechless.

They came from the Central Plains and were not very adapted to the role of monks in the Western Regions in society. After hearing Fahai's words, they could only nod and laugh. The monks in the Central Plains only dared to leverage usury. Why do monks in the Western Regions have such virtues?

After patrolling the village, they returned to Tongguang Temple and looked inside the temple.

The construction cost of Tongguang Temple was paid more than half of the cost. The two of them walked around and found that there was no flashy and extravagant part, so they secretly felt relieved.

Before leaving, I looked at the monk's house.

Hundreds of powerful monks from Kong Wu had just returned from training and hung various sharp instruments onto the shelves, and then lined up to do evening classes.

Another shock.

I used to hear that all the fifty monks and soldiers around Li Shengtian, the king of Khotan, all had the ability to be ten, and I felt that it was quite exaggerated. Now it seems that maybe it is true?

After drinking a cup of tea, the two of them said goodbye and left, leaving Tongguang Temple.

Under the gloomy twilight, they looked at the temple located in the snow, with flying eaves and cliffs, and the treasures were solemn. When they recalled the villagers in the temple, even the crowds of the Hu people began to learn the Chinese language, and were firmly controlled and organized.

Changes in the Western Regions are being generated bit by bit. In time, it will definitely turn upside down.

*******

After Laba Festival, the snow became heavier again.

Shao Shude had no choice but to stop in Yanqi and prepare to celebrate the New Year at home.

Fortunately, this place has been developing for a year and has a little foundation. As an important logistics transfer center, it has a lot of food and grass, otherwise it would have to rush through the snow.

On the tenth day of December, he summoned officials from all over the world from Yanqi Prefecture: the new Yanqi Yin Xiao Chuqian, the young Yin Zhu Yanshou, the military officer Wang Dong, the Gongcai Yin Niu Zhiye, and the Yanqi Order Zhang Renyuan and others.

Xiao Chuqian was the former governor of Cangzhou. When the royal army captured Cangjing Town, he took office and stabilized the local situation for the court. This time, he was transferred to Yanqi Yin and his career was favored by many people.

Zhu Yanshou needs no more, after the Longhu Army was lost, he was assigned to the position of Yanqi Shao Yin, who was a "military-to-military cadre". You can think this is a comfort to him, or you can think that the frontier areas need military generals to help control the situation. It is true, in fact, there are both factors.

Wang Dong is the son of Wang Qianyu, the former deputy envoy of Longxiang Army. He was one of the two generals recommended by Zhuge Shuang at that time. He has passed away.

Wang Dong himself was a noble official, worked as a county magistrate and chief clerk, and had rich experience.

Niu Zhiye's background is similar to that of Wang Dong, the son of Xiao Fu, the Imperial College Superintendent, and the son of Niu Li, the general recommended by Zhuge Shuang.

Zhang Renyuan is the son of Zhang Cunjing. He was not from a Yin official, but a serious Jinshi. He was only twenty-one years old this year and was a young man.

"Is Yanqi's land enough?" It was snowing heavily outside, and the indoors were as warm as spring. Since Shao Shude decided to stay, he no longer thought about it and planned to ask about local military and civil affairs.

"Your Majesty, I have organized the people to dig ditches and level the fields for more than a year," said Xiao Chuqian: "There are a lot of fields, but there are few people."

"Where is the grain?" Shao Shude asked, "If there are more than ten thousand people, can you support me?"

"With less than 20,000 people, you can barely support it. However, in Shule and Beiting, can Yanqi transfer food and grass?"

"Just take care of yourself." Shao Shude said: "Since that's the case, I have nothing to worry about. Next year, I will officially form the Yanqi Prefecture Prefecture Army. I will draw 3,000 people from Hengye and Luoyan Army, and move to Yanqi together with his family. Remember, these are three thousand households, and I have to give dictated land. The family will give 20 acres of land. You can see the distribution."

"I obey the order." Xiao Chuqian responded.

People are the foundation of everything.

With more immigrants in the Central Plains, they can bring advanced agricultural production technology, cultivate more fields, and produce more grain.

With more grain production, it can accommodate more new immigrants.

After these immigrants in the Central Plains took root, they could assimilate the foreigners and stabilize social order. The stability of social order will promote the development of agriculture, industry and commerce.

This is positive feedback, also called snowballing. To be more elegant, be friends of time.

He had already seen Yanqi's changes.
