The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 600

"Yi Di, fearing authority but not being virtuous, there is some truth in what he said."

Standing in the house behind the main hall, Xu An looked thoughtfully at the carefully seated Qiang Di envoys sitting in the main hall through the screen.

"Awe-inspiring but not virtuous..."

A hint of surprise appeared in Yan Zhong's eyes.

"Where did Ming Gong hear this sentence, but it is true...it is quite correct."

Xu An was slightly taken aback. This sentence came from "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" by Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was a sentence said by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.

But he definitely can't tell Yan Zhong like this now.

But for the answers to these questions, Xu An has always had a universal answer.

"This sentence comes from the "Taiping Jing"."

Yan Zhong smiled slightly and said, "I am more and more interested in the "Taiping Jing" now."

"However, I need to remind Duke Ming that the Han and Qiang peoples in Liangzhou have lived together for a long time, and we cannot treat them as barbarians. The Xianbei tribes in the north may be completely fearful of power and not virtuous, but some of the Qiang and Di in Liangzhou can also be regarded as barbarians. Germany."

In the past, Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, was defeated, and the soldiers of the six counties were defeated. Han Sui and others besieged Hanyang County, and Fu Xie defended the city to the death.

At that time, thousands of Hu cavalry from Beidi County followed Han Sui to attack the city. In gratitude for Fu Xie's kindness, they kowtowed outside the city together, begging to send Fu Xie back to his hometown.

Fu Xie did not surrender in the end, and led the only soldiers out of the city to fight, and died in the battle, but it was those Hu cavalry that Fu Qian, Fu Xie's son, was able to return home, and the rest of Ji County were spared.

When Dong Zhuo was young, he befriended the nobles of Qiangdi in Liangzhou, and later returned to the fields. The nobles had followers. Dong Zhuo slaughtered the cattle and feasted with each other. The remaining heads were presented to Dong Zhuo.

"I know."

Xu An nodded, but he had his own ideas on how to arrange these Qiangdi tribes.

The chaos in Liangzhou has lasted for such a long time, and the turmoil has been endless. Since Liangzhou was established as a state, the Qiang chaos has not been subsided much.

It is true that some Hu people are influenced by Han culture and appreciate kindness, but more people still fear power and do not cherish virtue.

When the Wuhu is in disorder, all the animal nature is revealed in it.

Yan Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew that Xu An didn't listen to what he said, Xu An probably made a plan long ago, and this decision was much more radical than he imagined.

In fact, Yan Zhong has been a little strange since a long time ago. Whenever he talked about the Huns, Qiang people, Di people, especially Xianbei, Xu An's eyes would become sharper, as if he was suppressing his anger.

"Minggong."

Xu An stopped in his tracks, and turned his head to look at Yan Zhong who was at the side.

"Every decision you make and what happens afterwards proves your correctness. This time, although I don't know what you are going to do, I will support you no matter what you do."

Xu An grinned and laughed.

"However, I will finish what I have to say. As for how to choose, it is up to you."

Yan Zhong also smiled.

"I see."

Xu An took another step and walked out slowly from behind the screen.

"Welcome to the great virtuous teacher."

The envoys of the Qiangdi tribe who had been waiting for a long time in the main hall all stood up in fear.

They all speak Chinese, not the tribal Hu language.

Xu An walked all the way to the first seat, sat down, glanced at the people in the hall first, then raised his hand, signaling them to sit down,
"All sit down."

Only then did the envoys of the Qiangdi tribe dare to sit down again.

Xu An glanced at the people in the hall again. Few of the emissaries of the Qiangdi tribe in the hall dared to look up at him, let alone those who looked at him. some worries.

"I sent people to summon people before, and I have already stated that you are all envoys sent by the tribes, and you should be able to make decisions for the tribe."

Xu An leaned on the back of the chair and said in a deep voice.

"I know that Liangzhou has been in chaos for many years. It has become a common practice for various ministries to compete with each other for pastures, land, and livestock. The continuous turmoil in the state has become the norm."

"but……"

Xu An paused, and slightly accentuated his tone.

"I don't care what the counties and states do when the Han court occupies Liangzhou."

"Now Liangzhou has changed, and the forces occupying Liangzhou are my Taiping Dao, not Hanting."

The unstoppable commotion in the hall caused some commotion, but no one dared to question it, but the envoys of the Qiangdi tribe were a little restless.

Xu An's eyes were sharp, and he tapped the armrest of the chair, and the commotion in the hall subsided with this soft sound.

The battle of Gaopingchuan, and the military appearance of the Yellow Turban Army gave these people a bit of awe.

"First, all tribes in Liangzhou must be under the management of our Taipingdao officials and pay taxes on time. A certain amount of tax is collected according to the cattle, sheep, pastures, land, and population they own. All tax systems are in accordance with our Taipingdao. The enacted "tax law" charged."

As soon as Xu An finished speaking, there were noisy voices in the hall.

Xu An didn't care about the voice of the alien, but beckoned. Dozens of yellow angels wearing helmets and armor outside the hall had been on standby for a long time. Hearing the order, they walked into the hall with books in their hands.

"This is the content of a part of the "Tax Law" that I ordered people to print. You only need to read this part. My Taiping Road officials will collect taxes twice in June and December."

The yellow angel entered, and the noise in the hall was immediately suppressed.

"Remember, I'm not asking for your opinions, but a notice."

Xu An frowned slightly, and said coldly.

"Secondly, the leaders of the various tribes in Liangzhou must accept my Taipingdao's pardon before they can continue to manage the tribe, and they must go to nearby cities to report the situation in the tribe every month."

"I will send officials to count the population of each tribe, divide them into three classes according to the population, and then send envoys to give seals and pardon the leaders."

"If there is a violation."

Xu An's sharp eyes swept across the faces of the envoys of the Qiangdi tribe in the hall, and said in a deep voice.

"Destroy his family, revoke the name of his tribe, and punish all tribesmen with five years of labor reform."

"Thirdly, the entire territory of Liangzhou is owned by my Taipingdao. In this case, you must abide by my Taipingdao's laws and regulations. All laws and regulations in your tribe will be abolished. Anyone who violates them will be severely punished according to law."

"Probably these three, and some side details. After our conversation is over, my long history will continue to discuss with you in detail."

"If any of you have any problems, you can stand up and explain now."

Xu An stood up and asked condescendingly.

"I hope it's better not to, it's better for everyone."

Xu An waited for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement in the hall, he was about to leave, but at this moment, an envoy from the Qiang tribe stood up.

"Great virtuous teacher... This is really too harsh..."

Xu An stopped in his tracks, looked back at the standing Qiang envoy, and then narrowed his eyes.

"Does anyone here think my orders are harsh?"

After Xu An's words fell, several people in the hall stood up sparsely.

The positions of everyone in the hall have been arranged, and Xu An naturally knows which tribe those people represent.

These few stood up and said that the harsh tribes were all relatively large tribes, the least of which was three or four thousand people, and two of them were large tribes with more than ten thousand people.

Xu An turned around and smiled happily.

"If it goes too smoothly, I'm still a little uneasy. Now that you have stood up, everything will be much easier to solve."

"Order Lü Bu and Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry under their command to march."

"Invite these people out by the way, they are no longer messengers."

A group of yellow angels guarding the hall received Xu An's order, and quickly stepped forward to take down all the opposing messengers.

Xu An's gaze was serious, and he said coldly.

"In Liangzhou, other than my Taipingdao voice, no other voices are allowed."
