Mongolian nobles proposed to turn the north into a pasture. Which Khitan saved the catastrophe?

/kloc-at the beginning of the 0/3 century, the power of the Mongols suddenly rose. Under the leadership of legendary leader Genghis Khan, he defeated the Jin regime established by Nuzhen and replaced Jin as the overlord in northern China.

In the process of unifying the north, Mongolia absorbed many ministers who had served in the State of Jin, the most famous of whom was Lu Ye Chucai, a Khitan.

Lu Ye Chu Cai is a descendant of the royal family of Liao, and his ancestor is Lu Ye Baoji, the ancestor of Liao Taizu. During the Jin Dynasty, Yelu Chucai's family began to be an official in the State of Jin, and his father Yelulu was a senior official of Zhengerpin.

Yeluchucai was diligent and studious since he was a child, and he was gifted. Is that what the history books call him? Ji Bo and Shu Qun, by-pass astronomy, geography, law calendar, skill numbers and the theory of explaining the old and medical divination, write it as a text, if it is a structure. ?

1206, Lu Ye was awarded the title of Kaizhou Tongzhi by the imperial court. Although Yelu Chucai was young at this time, his profound knowledge was already very famous in the ruling and opposition circles.

12 14, after being besieged by the Mongolian army for many times. The Emperor of Jin decided to move the capital from Zhongdu (now Beijing) to Nanjing (now Kaifeng, Henan). Lu Ye stayed in Zhongdu, and was appointed as the foreign minister of the left and right department by the prime minister and marshal of the capital who stayed in Zhongdu.

Soon, the Mongolian army conquered Zhongdu. Genghis Khan ordered people to bring all the members of the imperial clan in Liao country, including Lu Ye Chucai, to him. Yeluchucai's reputation is so great that even Genghis Khan heard about it, so he said to Yeluchucai: Liao Jin feud, I am your snow. ? Liao and Jin are feuds. Now I'll avenge you. However, Lu Ye Chucai replied:? My grandfather and I are both panning for gold in the north. Since we are courtiers, we dare to hate your father! ? My ancestors have been courtiers of the State of Jin for generations. How dare you hate your father? ) Yeluchucai's answer made Genghis Khan extremely satisfied, so he stayed with him.

12 19, Genghis Khan led the army to the west to explore the flower thorn submodule, and Lu Yechu was nearby. Yeluchucai is proficient in divination, so whenever war breaks out, Genghis Khan will let Yeluchucai divine good and bad luck, and then decide the next military action. As a trusted minister around Genghis Khan, Lu Ye Chucai had the opportunity to talk with Genghis Khan frequently about the way of conquering, governing the country and keeping the people safe, and Genghis Khan paid more and more attention to his talents.

1227, Genghis Khan died on the way to conquer Xixia. On his deathbed, he pointed to Lu Yechu, the third son who inherited Khan's position, and said:? This man is a godsend in my family, and I will take care of the military affairs in the future. ? Wokuotai obeyed Genghis Khan's orders. In the early days of his administration, Lu Yechu was consulted militarily, and Lu Yechu's suggestions often hit the nail on the head, so Wokuotai also attached great importance to him.

/kloc-in the winter of 0/230, there was a fierce debate in the Mongolian court. Baidal (son of Chagatai and grandson of Genghis Khan), a representative figure of extremists, put forward a shocking suggestion, saying: Han people are not good for the country, so it is advisable to empty their land for pasture. ? Han people are of little use to the country. It is better to empty their dwellings and turn these places into pastures. )

At the critical moment, Lu Yechu stood up and suggested: Your Majesty's cutting south, the allocation of military supplies, the central plains land tax, commercial tax, wine, vinegar, salt, iron, mountains and other interests are equally determined. You can get 502,000 pieces of silver, 80,000 pieces of silk and 400,000 pieces of stone every year, which is enough to supply. What is useless? ? Yeluchucai's suggestion is to adopt a fixed tax plan to bring more long-term benefits to the imperial treasury. Wokuotai agreed to Lu Ye Chucai's suggestion and immediately began to implement it. Soon after, the imperial treasury was very abundant. In recognition of him, Wokuotai appointed Lu Ye Chucai as Prime Minister.

For the people of the Northern Han Dynasty at that time, Lu Yechu was undoubtedly their savior. Because in that case? Should the clearing be a pasture? Once the crazy suggestion is adopted, the northern Han people will go to born to die.

Since the mid-1930s, Wokuotai gradually lost interest in managing the empire and began to indulge in drinking and having fun. Lu Ye Chu Cai, who was bent on seeking the country, was gradually left out in the cold because he repeatedly put forward suggestions that did not conform to Wokuo Tai's wishes.

1244 In May, Lu Ye Chucai died of depression at the age of 55. 1330, Yuan Wenzong posthumously awarded Lu Yechu as a hero, a surname and a pillar of Liang Yin, and awarded the title of King Guangning, posthumous title. Zheng Wen? . It is worth mentioning? Zheng Wen? This posthumous title was recognized as the first civil servant posthumous title in the history of China, and the emperor would not easily give this posthumous title to the minister, which also represented the Yuan Dynasty's high recognition of Lu Ye's contribution to Chu Cai.
