Zhao Xing stayed in Meiji City for several days, met with local officials such as Wangmen, Wangmen, Wuyuan County Prefect, Guan Chun, Shuofang County Prefect, Geng Wu, etc., who came to visit, and then walked eastward and crossed the inside and outside of the Great Wall several times, with the goal directly aimed at Daqing Mountain.**--*

The reason why Zhao Xing's team crossed the Qin Great Wall several times was that the Great Wall in the northern part of Jin came from Yanmen to Shangjun in the southwest. From the map, many places did not move from east to west, but were positioned from north to south. Therefore, Zhao Xing's team crossed the Great Wall from west to east in Dingxiang County, and then went to Gaoliu area in Daijun and crossed the Great Wall from south to north.

On the way to Daqingshan, Zhao Xing could always see the Great Wall not far away standing across the side of the road. The outline of the vicissitudes seemed to tell Zhao Xing about the heavy memories of many glorious years.

As a time traveler, Zhao Xing certainly knew that the Great Wall was a national symbol of the Chinese nation's tenacity and indomitable nation, but at this time it was obviously not yet rising to that level, and there was no need to rise to such a level.

The word "China" was formed by the philosopher who believed in the concept of "harmony between man and nature" in the Wei and Jin Dynasties in 300 AD, from the two names "China" and "Huaxia". The concept of "Chinese nation" was proposed by Liang Qichao in 1902 in "The General Trends of Changes in Chinese Academic Thoughts" and is a general term for all ethnic groups living on the land of China and overseas Chinese.

In fact, the title of the Chinese nation, which is full of the vicissitudes of history of 5,000 years, was only more than a hundred years from its proposal to its later recognition by the Chinese people. Since there was no concept of the Chinese nation in the Han Dynasty, the Great Wall was just a conservative fortification and did not carry more spiritual connotations given by man.

The formation or awakening of the Han people was only truly begun after being repeatedly invaded and bullied by various northern ethnic groups in later generations during the Northern and Southern Song dynasties. In the Qin and Han dynasties, there was no pure nationalism. As long as many alien races expressed their obedience to the royal world and were willing to accept the advanced ideas and culture of the Central Plains, they could be absorbed by the empire and become formal citizens.

Jin Ri (mi) (di), whose courtesy name was Weng Shu, was a minister very popular with Emperor Wu of Han. However, he was the prince of the Xiongnu Xiu Tu, a Xiongnu who was stationed in Wuwei. Emperor Wu of Han gave him the surname Jin because he was given to King Xiu Tu's sacrifice to the heaven. When Emperor Wu of Han was seriously ill, he asked Huo Guang and Jin Ri (Jiang) to assist Prince Liu Fuling, and he passed the will to grant him the title of Marquis of Gui (du).

Regardless of the immortal achievements of Jin Il-jeong in maintaining national unity and social stability, just in terms of his ability to gain the trust and trust of Emperor Wu of Han, if Liu Che and the ministers in the court had a widespread Han nationalist ideas, how could a foreigner become a life-threatening minister of the Han Empire?

Thinking of Jin Il-jeong, Zhao Xing turned around and asked Zhao Gang who had been with him and said, "Two years ago, you personally captured Jin Xuan, the commander general stationed in Hedong County, the imperial court. It is said that the ancestor of this person was Jin Il-jeong, an important official of the Han Wushu?"

Zhao Gang recalled carefully for a moment, then nodded and said, "This person is difficult to distinguish between Han and Hun in terms of appearance, words and clothing, but it is no different from those pampered and generous men in Luoyang City. However, Situ Huang Wan said in person that this person is indeed a descendant of Jin Riyi, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the Central Army General and became a good person in Luoyang City."

After joking all the way, Zhao Xing finally came to the foot of Daqing Mountain. This was the place where the Huns and Xianbei people worshiped the sky, and it was called Danhan Mountain. Now it has become a scenic spot for people of all ethnic groups inside and outside the Great Wall to escape the summer summer. The reason why Zhao Xing included Daqing Mountain on the cruise route was to see if there are still ethnic conflicts here.

According to the rules set by Zhao Xing, the boundary of Daqing Mountain is the area of ​​the Yaoxing tribe, and the west to Sujiang City is the animal husbandry area of ​​the Yansheng tribe. As for the herders of the two tribes occasionally crossing the boundary to go to each other's area to grazing, it is not a big deal. There are officials who are responsible for managing grassland animal husbandry to mediate. In short, quarrels are OK, but they are never allowed to fight each other.

The problem in the animal husbandry area is easy to solve, but the ownership of Daqingshan is very sensitive, because the Huns and Xianbei people have occupied this mountain, and it is difficult to determine who is right and who is wrong. Regarding this issue, a few years ago, it attracted Zhao Xing's attention. He simply took Daqingshan back from Ulan and placed the mountain directly in his own name, so as not to fight and cause ethnic conflicts.

On this day, next to a clear river under Daqing Mountain, Zhao Xing asked someone to organize a bonfire party here and invite nearby herders from Yaoxing and Yansheng to come and have a party together.

Among the invited people, there were several small officials who were responsible for the management of grassland herders. One was named Yang Changgui, who was specifically responsible for mediating disputes between Yansheng and Yaoxing tribes; one was named Bazhadu, a member of the Yaoxing tribe from the east of Daqingshan. He was usually responsible for conveying notices from the superior official office to the herdsmen, purchasing cattle and sheep raised by the herdsmen, and distributing money to the herdsmen; the other was named Jiwang, who was from the Yansheng tribe from the west of Daqingshan. His work was basically similar to Bazhadu.

Yang Changgui, Bazhadu and Jiwang often meet by the river where the bonfire party held today by the King of Pingxi. Everyone often greets each other a few words across the river, which is very familiar. But they never dreamed that one day they could sit by the bonfire like the gods on the Daqing Mountain, eat roasted lamb legs, drink the long river songs, and talk about the world.

Zhao Xing asked Yang Changgui: "How many disputes have you mediated in this year? Why did they arise?"

Yang Changgui replied: "There are about two or three stakes in a month, most of which are caused by cattle and sheep running around across the border, and a few are because of the competition for water."

Zhao Xing asked again: "Have you ever had a direct action without mediation? Has it been a life-threatening?"

Yang Changgui was originally a straightforward person. Although he was frightened in front of Zhao Xing, he still told the truth: "Once once, the two families fought for the river ditch where cattle and sheep were drinking water. However, they did not kill anyone, but were injured. The two families that fought were severely punished by the patrol judge in Daqingshan area, and now they have eliminated their resentment."

Zhao Xing asked Bazhadu and Jiwang again, two "land masters", and said: "Since there are many disputes between the herdsmen of the two tribes over water sources, why not organize everyone to build water conservancy and improve the drinking water conditions of livestock?"

Bazhadu and Jiwang replied with some embarrassment: "It's not that I don't want to repair it, it's just because there is a shortage of young and strong labor and the stone required to build the canal is very huge. I really have the will but lack the ability."

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, turned to Li Ru behind him and said, "I sent a notice to all places, saying that from now on, anyone who lacks stones near the Great Wall due to the construction of water conservancy projects can dismantle bricks and stones from the Great Wall section in the territory for civil use!"

Li Ru almost thought there was something wrong with his ears at that time. This lord was too incredible, right? He actually planned to demolish the Great Wall!
