There were some things that Mu Yan didn't want Huo Xi to worry about, so she didn't ask her.
"I heard that you made a roster of the family members of the garrison in Kunming City?"
Huo Xi nodded and asked someone to show it to Mu Yan.
Mu Yan looked carefully, with serious eyes. Each name above is recorded in detail, including origin, family structure, source of income, character, strengths and weaknesses, social contacts...
After reading it carefully, Mu Yan looked up at Huo Xi. He knew that there were some things that she thought and did better than him.
"I'll have someone copy this roster."
Huo Xi nodded and asked him to transcribe it for others. He asked again: "It seems that most of the troops stationed in Kunming are Han Chinese?"
"Well. Most of the garrisons in Kunming City were brought by my grandfather from the capital. Kunming City was built, and then some were absorbed from various places, and most of them were Han people. They were loyal to the Mu Mansion. Therefore, the military funds of the various guards in Yunnan were insufficient. The Mu House has never been in arrears with the military expenses for the Kunming City garrison. It’s just that he took over later, and the Jun family was in charge of the house... and the outer guard said that the Mu House treated them differently, so it gradually changed from the past.”
"The Mu Mansion was founded in Kunming City, and the troops stationed inside and outside the city are also responsible for guarding the Mu Mansion, so there is reason to treat them differently."
"If you think like you, there will be no such thing as the family members blocking your door."
The husband and wife were silent. Afterwards, Huo Xi asked him: "Do you also think that Aunt Jun instigated me to be blocked at the door?"
"I still think so? It's not clear, right? Are you stupid?" Stretched out his hand to poke Huo Xi's forehead.
Huo Xi turned his head to hide, staring at him: "You are stupid!"
Mu Yan just smiled: "Yes, it's because of my husband's stupidity." He stretched out his arms and gently scraped Huo Xi's face.
"You don't need to pay attention to her with Jun's. I have an endless relationship with her. As long as I am alive, I will block her son's way, and she and us will not even have a friendly face. But she used to be full of smiles. Laughing, she said that she often attacked me, but no one believed it. Don't follow her way."
"She is a wife who runs the house, why bother to attack you personally, some servants obey orders, and you haven't got her evidence. She smiled, and of course I greeted her with a smile. I'm not good at flattery."
Mu Yan looked at her slightly smug look, and hooked the corners of her mouth. Yeah, you never bother me, but I just can't stop thinking about you.
Mu Yan stared at her closely.
"Your Majesty, if you have unresolved matters, just send Gansan to call for my manpower to stay in Kunming City. Although there are many soldiers in the mansion, they are not as good as my manpower. The soldiers in the department are not afraid."
"We've come to the point where soldiers meet each other. But, Kunjiang Wushi, isn't he quite powerful? I think Wushi still has dowry soldiers in the mansion, and there are also quite a few female soldiers."
"Those people are not enough to be chopped down by Zhufeng alone."
"So weak?" Huo Xi expressed disbelief.
"Why don't you let Chasing Wind Yeli try and test them?"
"I'm not stupid." Huo Xi glared at him.
"Don't worry, if my husband says they are not as good as they are," he pinched Huo Xi's nose with a smile, "However, Kunjiang Wushi is indeed a relatively powerful branch among the many chieftains in southwestern Yunnan."
Immediately, he told Huo Xi about the situation of chieftains in various states in Yunnan.
After Wei destroyed Wu, he eradicated the influence of the Duan family and the Yi people on Yunnan, vigorously cultivated the culture of the Central Plains, and moved a large number of Han people. So far, the Han people in Kunming have far outnumbered the indigenous residents.
However, in order to stabilize the southwestern border, Taizu still retained the status of the leaders of the Yi tribes, and still regarded their territories as their governance area. Set up various chieftain government offices, and the barbarians rule the barbarians. Each chieftain, that is, each native official, is hereditary and pays tribute every three years.
"Although the chieftains marry each other to consolidate their status, there are many conflicts between the big and small chieftains due to the imbalance of power. They often have conflicts due to land disputes and vendettas. The big chieftains often bully the small chieftains and annex their lands. Mu Zhan is often He sent to reconcile these contradictions."
Huo Xi looked at him, "Are you happy not to have to deal with this?"
Mu Yan raised his eyebrows, obviously?
"Mu Zhan is wholeheartedly eager to get the support of the chieftains, so he will only make peace in the middle. If you are my husband, I will not use such a gentle method. Mu Zhan is quite powerful, and he often favors the big chieftains. The chieftains complained and complained to him a lot. This time, he told me that he wanted to plead with the emperor to allow me to stay in Yunnan and help him."
"You declined?"
"If I want to stay in Yunnan, I have to go to Beijing with Mu Zhan's family as a hostage. I'm afraid he won't be willing." Mu Yan sneered.
No matter if it is a biological child, it cannot compare to Mu Zhan's affection for staying by his side since he was a child.
Huo Xi stroked his arm, comforting him silently, "I'm afraid Xiao Yuer will have to sit on the threshold every day waiting for dad again."
"That child." The corner of Mu Yan's mouth curled up, and the haze in his heart dissipated.
"Tell me about the situation of the chieftains. I heard that the situation is better in chieftain states with a system of officials?"
Huo Xi will make a big move next, and urgently needs to understand the sphere of influence of each state.
Mu Yan also knew that she had an arrangement, so she explained it to her in detail.
"You are right to say that. Hundreds of barbarians live together in Yunnan, and the development is very unbalanced. If there are prefectures and counties governed by both local officials and local officials, the economic situation will be better. Like the Minjia (Bai) in Dali, there are many dams and basins. The living standard of the people is high. The Luoluo (Yi nationality) who live in the closed mountainous area are still primitive slash-and-burn farming, so how can the people live well? There are also mostly native officials self-government.”
"The prefectures and counties where the chieftains are autonomous, are the situation worse?"
"Not all of them. For example, Moxie (Naxi nationality) in Lijiang is governed by the Mufu. The leader Mu Senzhi is good at propriety and righteousness. The family surname is "Mu" and the word "serve the country with sincerity". Last year, the emperor gave his family a picture of "serve the country with sincerity."
The Tusi Autonomous Prefecture, which is actively integrating into the Han culture, has much less effort for the Mu Mansion.
"What about Wuzhi?"
"Ushi..."
Mu Yan didn't want to mention it.
He felt that Wu Zhi was a bit foolish, but he was afraid that Huo Xi would follow Wu Zhi's way.
Then he said in detail: "The Wu Clan in Kunjiang ranks high among the prefectures. There used to be some low-level officials, but because Wu Clan married a daughter to the Mu Mansion, the little officials were abolished. All these years, relying on the presence of the Mu Mansion This in-law has frequently annexed the land of the little chieftain. Because of Mu Zhan's protection, the little chieftain has nowhere to complain."
Mu Yan frowned.
"This Wuzhi is quite tricky? Is it a branch of Baiyi (Dai)?"
Mu Yan nodded, "The Baiyi people live in the mountains and plains, with a lot of arable land, and their lives are considered affluent. But the leader of the Baiyi people in Kunjiang is Mu Zhan's father-in-law, so he can annex the land of other chieftains. I don't care about his family. good impression."
