At this time, they are still people in the barbaric period, and if they have thoughts, beliefs, and changes, they will move towards that civilized society.
Wouldn't such a change do them any good?
Such a change would naturally be able to pull them out of that poverty and hardship, and then move towards a prosperous life together.
This is a change, an earth-shaking change, as long as they can seize this opportunity, they will know what it means to be a pig on the cusp of the storm!
We are not qualified to say what is called change. People of these nomads must feel it. Only after experiencing them will they know what is called real change.
People who have never experienced life in this grassland will definitely feel that life is very good.
However, what the person in charge tells you is that this kind of life was not good in ancient times.
When ordinary people think of grasslands, they think of horseback riding and archery, carefree, endless prairie, where cattle and sheep can be seen under the wind and grass.
This kind of scene is indeed beautiful when you think about it, but there must be some people who can't stand the life that has always been like this.
This grassland does not have the prosperity of the city, let alone the affluence of the city. As the saying goes, there is a good reason for the poor mountains and rivers to produce troublesome people.

It is precisely because of this situation that the folk customs of those nomadic peoples will become so sturdy.
The reason for this is that their productivity and those resources are very lacking.
If people are not more aggressive, they will not be able to keep their property at all!
It is precisely because of this that their folk customs will be very sturdy.
Secondly, living on the grasslands is very hard work.
All kinds of trivial things, and all kinds of things need to be self-sufficient, even if you are sick, you can only survive.
Whether it is life experience or the rhythm of life, it gives people a feeling of hard work.
Even, where they migrate and live according to the precipitation, because they need to raise livestock, they need to follow the amount of precipitation to the next pasture, and only in this way can they ensure that the livestock they raise will not starve to death.
Take the migration track of those Huns as an example. In the first month, they need to spend the winter in the winter pasture, and in May they must go to the summer pasture. After living for a few months, they will go to the autumn field again, and then go to Migrate from the autumn field to the winter field.
This is the case, throughout the year, with the migration of the seasons.
During the migration, only the grassland in summer will stay a little longer, and the other places live with aquatic plants.
This kind of migration is very time-consuming, because each place is very far away and requires a long journey. Only in this way can we ensure that the livestock we raise will not die.
If you stay in one place and don't leave, the grass here will die, and with the heavy snow coming, such a place is not suitable for survival at all. When the time comes, some of the livestock they raise will all die. The fatal blow was struck.
After the livestock are all starved to death, it will be their turn.
Not only that, but they need to be united because of their fierce folk customs.
Some nomads began to sign up for groups to keep warm, and then formed a group first, and after forming a group, those groups formed a tribal alliance.
The reason for forming a tribal alliance is to resist the war and to survive the war. Of course, this kind of alliance is only a wartime alliance. Not secure.
Under such a bad life, there are very few herdsmen who can live a good life, and that is also because there are not many herdsmen with more experience.
In addition, the weather itself is relatively bad, so for their nomads, this situation is completely dependent on the weather.
Once there is a heavy snow, or a severe drought, or other natural disasters, then they have a very high possibility of disappearing from this world.
Although it is very easy to say, if they really encounter such a situation, the only thing waiting for them is death.
It is precisely because of this situation that after these nomads suffered natural disasters, in order to survive, they naturally pointed the finger at the farmers in the southern farming society closest to them.
There are some things they don't know how to grow, but they are good at fighting, and it seems that the blood of beasts flows in their bones.
This is also the case, in order to ensure that they and their family members will not die, they will naturally do anything.
This is one of the reasons why those nomads plundered all the year round.
In Cao Ang's view, the reason for all this comes from one word, that is, poverty!
Now that the differences between the nomadic people and the farming people have been found, the causes of various contradictions between them have been found, so it is much easier to break this balance.
Cao Ang also said afterwards: "What we need to do now is to change the herdsmen in the north, change their lives, strengthen the stability of that society, and then increase management."
The specific method is that you can make a fuss about the fields that the herdsmen in the north are good at. For example, they are good at raising horses. Coupled with the unique climate there, they can grow and produce a lot of pasture, and such pasture is not only for their own use. It can even be used as a cash crop to exchange for money.
Therefore, the first thing Cao Ang wants to implement now is to upgrade and change the farms of the nomads better.
To achieve this, it is necessary to let the population of this nomadic people form a social division of labor.
Only in this way is it possible to directly give up changing the place of residence due to the weather.
Even Cao Ang thought about imparting all the crops in the north to these nomads, as long as they had these, they would definitely be able to solve their food and clothing problems.
Not only that, after satisfying their food and clothing problems, the products produced can also meet the needs of those livestock, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
With such a request, those nomads can settle down in one place without having to migrate. This is not only a convenience for them, but also a convenience for the court.
After the positions they chose have stabilized, they will start to develop agriculture, and then start to develop other aspects, such as culture and the like.
After settling down, the requirements for other materials will increase, first of all, food, clothing, housing and transportation. In terms of living, a city will definitely be built, and then start to live here for a long time.
In this way, the nomads settled down and developed agriculture. After a few years, they are no different from those farmers in the Central Plains!
After hearing such words, the people present were also very shocked.
This method is simply very practical, no matter which one it is, there are traces to follow, which makes people sound very comfortable.
It's not that the nomads heard it, but the subordinates who were Han people felt very comfortable after hearing it.
Under such circumstances, the people on the grassland couldn't be happier after learning about it?
What Cao Ang said left a deep impression on their hearts. Before that, it was impossible for them to have heard such a large amount of information, let alone heard of it.
Because, in the history before Cao Ang, no one paid any attention to these nomadic tribes in the grassland. What awaited them was only war. A fierce nation considers so much.
If what Cao Ang said just now were all written on a piece of paper and then published, it would surely shake the nomads, right?
And Cao Ang is probably the only person who can come up with such a method?
