I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 320 - 19: Cultural Integration, The Gu Clan’s Road to Reform
Gu Yi, of course, understands that achieving all of this is not easy.
The productivity required for ethnic integration far surpasses that of the current era.
Why do the barbarians from all directions constantly attack the Great Han?
The core reason lies in the lack of productivity!
Their systems and cultures;
Compared to the Great Han, are more backward, and their survival environment is insufficient to support their progress.
This is the fundamental reason for the continuous conflict between both sides.
This time, Gu Yi intends to try to break the current situation.
Compared to original history——
The current Great Han is much stronger, which is the influence brought by the appearance of the Gu Clan.
The barbarians yearn for the system of the Great Han far more than in original history.
This is what gives Gu Yi an opportunity.
Perhaps he can forge a new path, thoroughly establishing the identity of the Gu Clan within Kyushu.
Of course——
Gu Yi also doesn’t know if this action will succeed.
But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, it is worth trying.
....
The domestic city.
Just like the royal court of the Xianbei, the entire domestic city’s architecture is also mimicking the architectural style of the Great Han.
But Goguryeo hasn’t even mastered the surface level.
It has completely become a monstrosity.
Gu Yi once again sent Wen Yang out to hunt down the king of Goguryeo.
——Only this time, Gu Yi gave him limitations.
He did not allow him to pursue too far.
Wen Yang, over these days, has gradually started to change, as his nature was.
He must have someone he respects completely to educate him continuously.
Only then can he slowly change his reckless character.
Gu Yi certainly will not grind all the violence out of Wen Yang, as ethnic integration is an extremely long-term process.
And Wen Yang is precisely the best candidate to guard this side.
Only by using both the sword and the system together, there is a chance to achieve the goal Gu Yi expects.
This is a large-scale change from faith to the overall system!
Everything must come slowly.
Gu Ye’s talent is indeed not bad, being the most outstanding among the contemporaneous Gu Clan descendants.
Gu Yi only needs to provide the general idea.
Gu Ye can complete the details based on his judgment, formulating a system that better fits the current situation.
——Firstly, it refers to the nobles within these tribes.
This time, Gu Yi will not stop.
Besides those nobles who have already been executed, even the rest who have surrendered to the Han, Gu Yi plans to relocate.
Move them to remote areas of Youzhou State.
Allow them to cultivate while gradually integrating into the Great Han culture.
From the foundation, first, completely sever the current ruling system of the grassland tribes.
Gu Yi certainly won’t cut it all at once.
Humans are creatures of habit, and cutting all at once will only lead to greater chaos.
Gu Yi selected a batch of descendants who understand the Great Han culture from these tribe nobles.
Reappointed them as tribal leaders.
Of course, this is only a nominal position.
The position of real power still needs to be held by Han people.
And within it, from the cultural aspect.
Incorporate the celestial gods worshiped by the grassland people into the Great Han culture, gradually influencing them from their beliefs.
And open schools and markets.
The schools naturally differ from the current schools of the Great Han.
Gu Yi only allows them to learn the language of the Great Han, and improve their status based on their learning achievements.
As for the markets——
It is one of the ways to stabilize the core of the conflict between both parties.
Through the horses of the Xianbei and the pelts of the Wuhuan, plus the ginseng medicine of Goguryeo, exchange for the things they need.
This is actually the core of the matter.
Only by ensuring stability can the implementation of other systems be promoted.
Of course, it won’t be that simple.
In addition, Gu Yi also formulated various policies for granting land according to the degree of integration with Han culture.
Including the able-bodied men in these tribes.
Gu Yi referred to the Government Military System of the Northern Wei from original history and reformed it.
While controlling the numbers.
Also giving them more hope.
It is stipulated that as long as they obey orders and serve as soldiers for several years, they can be granted land and a Han surname.
Appropriately integrating the core of the Government Military System and the Equal-field System.
Including their specific settlement locations, everything is limited and planned.
This is definitely a groundbreaking matter.
It is also a necessary choice in the continuous forward march of history.
In fact, many people can only see the surface of history, knowing the glory created by Kyushu in this feudal era, but ignoring the efforts and progress of generations before these splendors.
Just like the prosperous era of Sui and Tang in original history.
Most people can only see the glory of that time but overlook the foundation laid by the Northern Wei.
Fundamentally——
It is because of the successful ethnic integration implemented by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei, creating a new and vibrant Hu-Han culture, that a super civilization system spanning the grasslands, agriculture, and oceans was established in later generations.
This is a process of blossoming and bearing fruit.
Huaxia can have this cultural legacy that has lasted for thousands of years; repeated integration and rebirth are indispensable in it.
The Gu Clan has a long way to go.
With the progress of the era and the improvement of productivity.
The influence of the Gu clan is definitely not limited to the land of Huaxia alone.
Gu Yi must ensure that the Gu Clan stays at the forefront of the era, even if talents do not appear in every generation, to ensure the family has an unimaginable foundation and heritage.
The news was quickly sent to Luoyang.
——When the news from the Northern Border was heard, the court boomed instantly!
