The fifth year of Xinhan.

The new concubine Bu Lianshi is pregnant with a dragon son, and the sixth prince is about to be born.

In October, Zhen Mi obtained the emperor's consent to give birth to a daughter and was named a noble lady.

The Zhen family of Jizhou was overjoyed and moved their entire clan to Luoyang to settle down, leaving only some side branches to control the few remaining resources in Jizhou.

The sixth year of Xinhan.

The road from Wuwei to Jiuquan has been paved, and the development of the Northwest is entering its final stage.

The construction of the three cities in Northeast China is also entering the final stage.

Lu Su, director of the Construction Bureau, was granted the title of Marquis and was in charge of the finalization of the two major plans.

Zhuge Liang, who was in charge of the Northwest, and Pang Tong, who was in charge of the Northeast, were both conferred the title of Marquis of Guannei and appointed as counselors to the Grand Council.

In the same year, Yu Fan and Gong Lei from the Southern Theater Command opened up the Canglan River and established contact with Zhou Yu in the southwest, announcing that the development of the south had entered the next stage.

Jin Mao appointed Zhou Yu as the Grand Councilor and Grand Commandant, and conferred him the title of Marquis of a county, which was hereditary for three generations.

The person who succeeded Zhou Yu was Yu Fan.

Jin Mao specifically asked Zhou Yu about this matter.

Zhou Yu said: "All the tribes in the southwest will submit, and there will be no more unrest for decades."

Therefore, only a person who is capable of maintaining the status quo and has sufficient prestige is needed to guard the city, and Yu Fan is an ideal candidate.

However, when Zhou Yu returned, he naturally had to ask about politics.

"Gongjin, the east and west of the country are in great order now, and the south is also in full swing. I wonder if you have a good plan to deal with the hidden dangers in the north?"

Although the Xiongnu and Xianbei fled or moved inland a few years ago, the nomadic peoples would not become extinct.

Without the Xianbei and Xiongnu, new small tribes would emerge, such as Tuoba.

Zhou Yu's eyes were deep when he heard this. After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "My Lord, you are right. The grasslands in the north are vast and boundless, and the nomadic people are as endless as weeds. However, from my observation of their habits, although they are brave and good at fighting, they also have their weaknesses. First, the nomadic people rely on water and grass for survival. Once they encounter natural disasters, the tribes often fight for survival resources. This is an opportunity for us to take advantage of. Second, they lack a stable political system and the support of agricultural civilization, and it is difficult for them to maintain large-scale war operations for a long time. Therefore, we can adopt the strategy of 'using calm to control movement, and using both kindness and force'."

"Specifically, we can send envoys with generous gifts and peace intentions to various tribes to make friends and at the same time secretly explore their internal conflicts and support the weak at the right time to check and balance the strong, so that they can restrain each other and cannot form a unified threat. In addition, we should strengthen border defenses, build strong cities, and cultivate land to store grain in case of emergency. More importantly, we should vigorously develop the economy, enhance national strength, make the Central Plains more prosperous, attract the northern people, and naturally have the desire to naturalize. This is the fundamental solution."

"Furthermore, we can show tolerance to newly emerged small tribes such as Tuoba in the early stage, encourage them to trade with our dynasty, learn the culture of the Central Plains, and gradually integrate into the Chinese family. However, if they invade the border, they must be resolutely attacked to demonstrate the majesty of our Han Dynasty and let all sides know that our dynasty cannot be underestimated."

Zhou Yu's words were clear and logical, with strategic vision and practical operation, which made everyone present nod in agreement. Jin Mao was overjoyed after hearing this and praised: "Gong Jin's talent is unparalleled! With such a good plan, why worry about unrest in the north?" He immediately ordered to prepare for the implementation of Zhou Yu's plan to ensure the eternal stability of the Han Dynasty.

Then, Jin Mao turned to the generals, his tone revealed an unquestionable firmness: "Generals, Gongjin's plan requires our concerted efforts to be realized. From today on, we will strengthen border patrols to ensure that every inch of land is within our sight. At the same time, send envoys to these small tribes to convey our goodwill and invite them to participate in the upcoming 'Huaxia Integration' market. Through trade and cultural exchanges, we can enhance mutual understanding and reduce misunderstandings and conflicts."

"In addition," Jin Mao changed the subject, his eyes were sharp, "we also need to strengthen military training and improve the combat effectiveness of our soldiers to prepare for emergencies. We must not only master the art of riding and shooting, but also learn military tactics and strategies, so that we can attack when advancing and defend when retreating, to ensure that our Han army can remain invincible under any circumstances." He paused, looked around, and saw that everyone had a resolute look on their faces, which made him feel very relieved. "Also, intelligence work cannot be ignored. We must increase the intensity of intelligence collection in the north and surrounding areas, whether it is local customs or military trends, we must know everything. Only in this way can we know ourselves and the enemy, and fight a hundred battles without danger."

"Finally," Jin Mao's voice became gentle and powerful, "I hope everyone can remember that we are not only fighting for a temporary victory, but also for the long-term stability of the Han Dynasty, so that our descendants can live and work in peace and contentment on this land. Let us work hand in hand and create brilliance together!"

After that, thunderous applause rang out in the hall, and morale was high. Jin Mao and Zhou Yu smiled at each other, their eyes flashing with infinite longing for the future. A grand plan aimed at consolidating the border and promoting ethnic integration was quietly rolled out on the land of Xinhan, heralding that the Han Dynasty would usher in a more prosperous and stable era.

As the applause gradually died down, Jin Mao slowly walked down the steps and came to the crowd of ministers. He personally helped up several old but still vigorous veterans. Their eyes showed not only the accumulation of years, but also deep respect for their lord. "My dear ministers, the strength of a country cannot be achieved by one person alone. It requires the will of all to overcome difficulties. I know that you all have great ambitions and are willing to sacrifice your lives for the Han Dynasty. Today's oath will be tomorrow's action program."

He turned and looked out the window. The river in the distance was sparkling, as if foreshadowing infinite hope and possibility. "We must strengthen the navy and make the warships of the new Han Dynasty an insurmountable barrier. At the same time, we must also focus on farming and trade to make the people's pockets fatter and their hearts more stable. Education is a long-term plan. We must open academies and cultivate talents so that the seeds of wisdom can take root and sprout in every inch of land in the Han Dynasty."

Zhou Yu followed closely and added: "My lord, what you said is very true. We should also strengthen friendly exchanges with neighboring countries, resolve disputes by peaceful means, jointly resist foreign aggression, promote cultural exchanges, and let the prestige of the Han Dynasty spread far and wide. At the same time, military training should not be relaxed. We need to constantly innovate tactics and improve the combat effectiveness of our soldiers to ensure that we can protect this territory at any time."

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this, with an unprecedented sense of mission and pride in their hearts. They knew that this would be a long and arduous journey, but as long as there were leaders like Jin Mao and Zhou Yu leading the way, and countless loyal and brave soldiers and hardworking and wise people supporting them, the future of the Han Dynasty would be even more glorious.

Thus, in the warm spring days, the land of Xinhan ushered in a profound change. In the farmland, new farming techniques doubled the grain output; in the school, the sound of reading aloud could be heard one after another; in the military camp, the soldiers sweated and practiced hard to kill the enemy. And all this was for the common dream - to make Dahan the most powerful country in the world, so that every citizen can proudly say: "I am a Dahan!"

As merchants came and went, the eastern starting point of the Silk Road took on new vitality in Xinhan. The rare treasures from overseas and the silk and porcelain from the Central Plains met here, which not only promoted economic prosperity, but also made cultural exchanges more frequent and profound. Xinhan's craftsmen absorbed the essence of the four directions and created unprecedented artworks and crafts, making the light of Han civilization more dazzling.

In the streets and alleys of the city, the newly built markets are bustling with all kinds of stalls, from exquisite handicrafts to authentic Jiangnan snacks, all attracting visitors from all over the world. People exchange the latest news and share the bits and pieces of life here. The vitality and hope of the city grow quietly in this hustle and bustle.

At the same time, Jin Mao and Zhou Yu knew that the prosperity of a country was inseparable from the progress of science and technology. They vigorously promoted scientific research and encouraged craftsmen and scholars to innovate and invent. Soon, new technologies and inventions came out one after another, from improved water conservancy and irrigation systems to more accurate navigation instruments. Each achievement greatly promoted the development of the new Han and even the entire Han Dynasty.

In terms of foreign policy, the New Han Dynasty has maintained an open and inclusive attitude and established friendly diplomatic relations with neighboring countries. Through peaceful diplomatic means, a series of potential conflicts have been resolved, winning precious time for the peaceful development of the Great Han Dynasty. At the same time, New Han's envoys have frequently traveled to distant places, bringing the civilization and wisdom of the Great Han Dynasty to every corner of the world.

As time went by, Xinhan gradually became the most prosperous and wealthy place in the Han Dynasty. All these changes were inseparable from the unremitting efforts and selfless dedication of every son and daughter of Xinhan. They used their actions to interpret what loyalty and bravery, wisdom and diligence are. Under the Han Dynasty's sky, the story of Xinhan is like a bright pearl, shining forever in the long river of history.

In this prosperous land, Xinhan has not only achieved a leap forward in economy, but also led the way in culture and technology. There are many schools and Confucianism is flourishing, attracting countless talented people to come and study. They exchange ideas, collide with wisdom, and jointly push the boundaries of knowledge. Poetry, songs, calligraphy, painting, chess, all show the profound heritage and unique charm of Xinhan culture, and become a good story passed down by later generations.

In terms of agriculture, the people of Xinhan took advantage of the unique water conservancy conditions, innovated farming techniques, and developed rice-growing culture, which greatly increased grain production, not only meeting local needs, but also exporting them to all directions through trade networks, making an important contribution to the country's food security. At the same time, handicrafts and commerce also flourished, and exquisite handicrafts such as silk and porcelain were exported overseas, becoming the iconic commodities of the Han Dynasty and greatly promoting the prosperity of international trade.

In social governance, Xinhan District advocates the concept of giving equal importance to rule of law and rule of virtue, attaches importance to the fairness and strictness of the law, and emphasizes the role of moral education, thus building a harmonious and stable social environment. Officials are honest and dedicated to their duties, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, forming a good social atmosphere and laying a solid foundation for the continued prosperity of Xinhan.

In addition, Xinhan has also actively participated in the wave of scientific and technological innovation, and has made remarkable achievements from the improvement of agricultural tools to breakthroughs in navigation technology, from the in-depth research of medicine to the exploration of astronomy. These scientific and technological achievements have not only improved the living conditions of the people of Xinhan, but also contributed valuable strength to the progress of civilization throughout the Han Dynasty and even the world.

In short, the prosperity and development of Xinhan is a magnificent chapter written by history and the people. With its unique charm, profound heritage and unremitting pursuit, it has become an indispensable part of the history of Han and even world civilization. In the years to come, the story of Xinhan will continue to be passed down, inspiring future generations to keep moving forward and explore a more glorious tomorrow.

As the wheel of the times rolls forward, Xinhan not only continues to lead the way in science and technology and civilization, but also shows unprecedented vitality and innovation in culture and art, education and social systems. Poetry and songs flourished on the fertile soil of Xinhan, and a group of talented literati emerged. They used their pens as boats and their dreams as sails to travel in the ocean of literature, creating countless popular masterpieces and enriching the treasure house of Chinese culture. These works not only reflect the delicate emotional world and profound ideological pursuits of the people of Xinhan, but also promote the exchange and integration of cultures from different regions.

In the field of education, Xinhan took the lead in implementing a series of educational reform measures, popularized basic education, and established a complete education system. There are many academies and students. Countless students receive the baptism of knowledge here and grow up to be the pillars of the country. This tradition of attaching importance to education has not only cultivated a large number of outstanding talents in the Xinhan area, but also laid a solid foundation for the long-term development of the entire country.

At the same time, Xinhan's social system is constantly innovating and improving. The government pays attention to people's livelihood and implements a series of policies that benefit the people, reducing the burden on the people and improving their living standards. The rule of law is constantly strengthened, and the social order is well-ordered, providing a strong guarantee for economic development and social progress. In addition, Xinhan also actively advocates an open and inclusive social atmosphere, attracting merchants, scholars and artists from all over the world, and jointly promoting the prosperity and prosperity of Xinhan.

Looking to the future, Xinhan will continue to uphold the spirit of openness, innovation and inclusiveness, deepen exchanges and cooperation with all regions, jointly respond to global challenges, and promote human civilization towards a better future. In this land full of hope, every dream has a chance to take root and sprout, and every effort will reap rich fruits. Xinhan, this shining pearl interwoven with history and modernity, will surely shine more brightly in the years to come and illuminate the way forward for mankind.

At the same time, Newcomm will increase its investment in education, scientific research and cultural industries, build a more complete innovation ecosystem, encourage original thinking and cross-border integration, let the sparks of wisdom collide freely here, and breed more scientific and technological achievements and artistic works that lead the trend of the times. By hosting international forums, exhibitions and events, Newcomm will further enhance its influence and voice on the global stage and become a bridge and bond connecting Eastern and Western cultures.
