Chapter 878 Why
Carrying iron hoes, he walked out of the dark mine. At the entrance of the mine, there were a few soldiers standing there, taking away the iron hoes from everyone one by one. This is a common practice, especially when there were many indigenous rebellions After the incident, it was even more so. All their daily necessities were monitored very strictly. The dull-looking laborer walked to the door and was about to hand over the iron pick in his hand.

The guarding soldier smiled, waved his hand, and said in a bad native language, "Take it away! It's yours!"

The laborer looked at the soldiers in front of him in surprise, and for a moment he didn't know what to do. In fact, he was also afraid in his heart. If he went out with this thing, he wouldn't be caught halfway. Seeing that they were still hesitating , the soldiers stopped being polite, and drove him out directly by pushing and shoving. The laborer looked at the iron pick in his hand and walked on the road with some anxiety.

This kind of thing happened in almost every mine in Jianning Changdao. This was the second day after Yuan Yao arrived here. The workers obviously felt the situation was different from before, maybe it was trust. , Holding the iron hoes in their hands, they returned to their respective residences. They suddenly found that there were a lot fewer soldiers who had been patrolling around.

They all lived in a dilapidated house in a group of 15 people. When the cook brought the food, these people were even more shocked. No one dared to say anything, and no one dared to say anything. They just looked at their hands. Yuan Yao took Ling Tong along the path while everyone was eating, and looked at these people seriously.

"Yuan Jun, your strategy doesn't seem to have any effect."

Ling Tong shook his head. If Yuan Yao hadn't achieved good results when he was the county magistrate, he might not be able to help Yuan Yao now. Yuan Yao's supporters are very few overseas. They were all against him, and because of the governor, they didn't say much in person, but secretly, there were still many people waiting to see Yuan Yao's jokes.

The idea of ​​these people is very clear. To deal with these natives, there is no need to implement any promotion system or care. As long as the means are severe enough, they can be guaranteed to be obedient. Of course, there are also some who propose to implement Guishuang’s caste system here. The Metropolitan Governor ignored them, but instead had a soft spot for Yuan Yao's soft-hearted policy, which naturally made these people extremely dissatisfied with Yuan Yao.

Ling Tong's question was of course not a mockery, nor was it meant to be ironic. His relationship with Yuan Yao was really good, and he was also a little worried. Jianning Changdao is one of the largest overseas islands, and the gold mines here are also The most important industry of the Overseas Government, there are more than 20 indigenous people on this island.

If it gets messed up, it's not a trivial matter, no matter how powerful Yuan Yao's background is, he won't be able to hold on.

However, Yuan Yao was unusually calm. He didn't panic at all. With a smile, he said just now: "How could it be useless? Wait a minute, the people I want haven't arrived yet. After they arrive, the people here will The situation will be much better, and in a year, I can guarantee that earth-shaking changes will take place here, you have to know."

"One of my masters once told me that if you keep whipping, no matter what kind of horse it is, it will lose its rein. The best way is to feed the horse a mouthful of grass every time it reaches a destination." , let him be satisfied, in order to eat the grass, you don't even need to whip it, it will run wildly as long as we can control the speed."

Ling Tong frowned. He didn't know why the young man beside him was so confident and calm. He didn't look like a kid in his 20s at all. There is a convincing quality, and Ling Tong gradually feels at ease. Yuan Yao is not in a hurry, so why is he in a hurry here?

"However, instead of confiscating their tools, according to Yuan Jun's opinion, it seems that they intend to let them build houses by themselves to make the management more relaxed. Is this really no problem? What if something happens?"

"What? The thousands of elite soldiers under the general's command can't deal with these people with hoes?"

"That's not true, but if something goes wrong, I'm afraid the governor will blame him."

"Don't worry, the management is getting looser. It's not for everyone. Isn't it time to record their work today? For those who work hard and are obedient, first feed them a mouthful of grass, so that they can draw a relationship with ordinary natives." Keeping a distance and living like this for a year will not only allow everyone to see a driving force to move forward, not to mention, it will also allow their own people to look at their own people, do you believe it? Soon, there will be a group of people who say The aborigines who speak elegant words, help us."

Yuan Yao smiled, and Ling Tong asked in disbelief, "They are of the same origin, how could they come to help us?"

"Hahaha, Ling Jun, don't be like those short-sighted people. What we are doing in Jianning Changdao now is also a major event that is not inferior to the law. If it can be successful, the big man will use us for hundreds of years. The current policy of using barbarians to control barbarians against me is a big game, not just what you see now, we cooperate sincerely, and Ling Jun will understand me in just one year."

Ling Tong smiled helplessly, and said: "You don't need Yuan Jun to say more, when did I not help you? Young Master has something to do, just ask. I will definitely do it." Yuan Yao laughed, and then said: "If so, Just trouble Ling Jun to run with me around Jianning Changdao, lest some idiots spoil our event."

"Okay, what should I do about the matter here?"

"In terms of defense, it is natural to keep confidantes. As for government affairs, I don't bother others to intervene. I transferred some educated indigenous people and let them take posts in various places. Just take the post of county magistrate, and there is no need to go What to do, just take care of those natives."

Ling Tong nodded.

Yuan Yao spent a lot of thought when he served as the county magistrate overseas, which is roughly the same as governing Jianning. Many of them were discovered at that time. Yuan Yao learned the indigenous language there, and at the same time , and gathered a group of loyal and obedient natives, and sent people to teach them to speak elegant language, learn customs and etiquette and so on.

Ling Tong didn't know why at the time. It wasn't until today when he heard Yuan Yao's words that he realized with some horror that this kid started preparing for this time a year ago, and the young people nowadays are so powerful. what?He hesitated to speak, hesitated for a moment, and then asked the question that he had always wanted to know, "Yuan Jun, who is your master?"

"Master? I have many mentors, but the one who taught me the longest now holds a high position in the temple." Yuan Yao replied with a smile.

"High position? Which servant is it?" Ling Tong asked suspiciously.

Yuan Yao smiled without saying a word.

So, after a few days like this, there was still no change. However, when the group of aborigines that Yuan Yao wanted arrived here and became local officials, everything changed dramatically. The aborigines were shocked. Seeing that my fellow clansmen have become the officials of the big Han, looking at the brand new robes on them, seeing their smug appearance, watching them chatting with those high-ranking Han people.

They were shocked, especially after these people began to manage them, and they no longer dared to complain in private, because the official could understand the abuse and dissatisfaction.

However, they still failed to bring much hope to the native laborers. After all, they seemed out of reach. They didn't know if they would have such a day, but half a month later, when these native officials They found a few of the hardest-working and honest laborers among them, and allowed them to build their own houses, gave them support, and even the food was different from them, and then they saw it. hope.

It turns out that they can also change themselves through hard work, so will they be the next one to get the privilege?

The privileged natives, after gaining status and wealth, not only work harder, but even disdain their original companions. They learn elegant words from these officials, and some of them actually wear He wore a robe, which he would occasionally wear out, and walked around the mine in the aboriginal residential area, meeting everyone's envious and envious eyes.

Afterwards, Yuan Yao promulgated the second policy, the continuous sitting system. Among the fifteen people, if one person makes a mistake, the rest will be cut off from the promotion path. After this decree was issued, the soldiers were surprised to find that, Maintaining order and supervising everyone already requires them to do it themselves. Every day, someone will report on their companions, and thus get promoted.

Nowadays, no one has obtained the right to become a commoner, but just relying on a little bit of preferential treatment, Yuan Yao has successfully planted hope in everyone's hearts. As long as there is a privilege, it will definitely cause a split in the whole , Even if you dare not mention it on the surface, in the dark, this kind of division still exists, even if it is a fair promotion system.

Ling Tong was the first to notice the difference. He inspected various areas of Jianning Changdao, and saw that these people gradually had hope in their eyes, and they worked harder. It seemed that they no longer needed to be whipped. After eating a mouthful of green grass, they galloped away, but they showed no mercy to those of the same kind who wanted to hold them back, and directly used it as a springboard.

The originally united natives fell apart in just two months, full of suspicion of each other, full of class divisions brought about by the upper and lower classes, Jianning Changdao not only did not experience turmoil, but gradually became a The island with the highest yield and the best law and order.

This made those who were waiting to see Yuan Yao's jokes widen their eyes with confusion on their faces. Why is this happening? ?
