Liu Yu's method is definitely very suitable for using Ningzhou's power to solve the problem of barbarians in the Piao Kingdom.

However, this method is not very wise.

Hua Xiu, an important official in the court, spoke out.

"Your Majesty, if you are unified today, you can just wait to attack and destroy the Jin Dynasty in Jiangdong. In the future, you will have to rest and recuperate to make up for the loss of the population for a hundred years. Shouldn't you stick to the middle and the real one?"

"How can the scholars and people of Ningzhou conquer the barbarians of the Piao Kingdom and get some evil lands with malaria and crisscrossing malaria, which is not very beneficial."

When Hua Xiu said this, he also looked serious.

In his mind, Ningzhou in the southwest was already considered a wilderness, not to mention the remote Piao Kingdom.

"How can you dislike too much land?"

Liu Yu smiled gently.

He still understood Hua Xiu's thoughts very well.

Hua Xiu and other high-ranking scholars were born with contempt for the barbarians in the border areas.

Even the land where barbarians live is not worth a penny.

"You probably don't know yet. Although the Piao Kingdom is thousands of miles away from the southwest, it is also a place with abundant resources, especially ivory, gems, gold, spices, etc., which are everywhere."

Liu Yu began to popularize his own geography again.

"Your Majesty, the Central Plains is in a mess, and we should indeed gather the population. It is best to migrate the powerful people in Ningzhou to Guanzhong and Luoyang to help restore people's livelihood."

Gongsun Sheng, who was standing beside him, also spoke.

"If it is just for gems, spices and other items from the barbarian land, it will be a bit of a loss."

"After all, you can't warm your body when you are cold, and you can't fill your stomach when you are so hungry. You'll still be able to make your mouth full and feel at ease."

Gongsun Sheng, who was from a poor family, also thought so, almost the same as Hua Xiu thought.

Liu Yu knew that the method Gongsun Sheng mentioned was a common method used by the Central Plains dynasties in all dynasties.

If the Central Plains are tired, they will often be afraid of being "top-heavy" and then they will migrate to other places with powerful people and rich people in the capital and other confidant places.

In this way, not only will the border prefectures and counties be free of the potential threat of rebellion, but it can also enrich its internal strength.

When Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, it was a large-scale migration of the powerful and wealthy kings of the six kingdoms to enrich Guanzhong.

After the founding of the Han Dynasty, the migration of powerful people from all over the country to Guanzhong became a national policy in the early stage.

This method can indeed greatly increase the population controlled by the imperial court, which can be said to be of many benefits.

However, Liu Yu didn't really want to use this method.

"There are benefits and disadvantages in keeping the inner real."

Liu Yu began to talk about his plans.

"Since the civil strife of the former Jin Dynasty, many border counties have been abandoned, and countless Han people have become souls. All the barbarians around them have moved in the same time, occupying land inwards and plundering people."

"It has been more than ten years since then. If you have to take any more than one, then develop the strategy of the frontier, it will probably take twenty years."

"Twenty years are the time for a generation to grow up, and the time for a new generation to grow up means that many lands occupied by barbarians will really become barbarians' land."

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Hua Xiu, Gongsun Sheng and others actually disagreed.

They feel that although wars in the Central Plains have been frequent in recent years, which has greatly reduced their prestige, they are definitely not overwhelming by some barbarians of cats and dogs.

Even in remote frontier prefectures, the same is true.
