I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Before Liu Bei developed the entire Jiangnan, the Jiangnan in the Eastern Han Dynasty was poor, with a lot of wild animals such as tigers and crocodiles. It was extremely difficult to develop, and it was extremely dangerous.

So he started to pay attention to these Baiyue mountain people. At the beginning, he used fair and just policies to attract these mountain people to settle in Jiangnan and become the people of the Han Dynasty. This is also the reason why there are tens of millions of people in the remote Jiangnan, because Liu Bei moved More than 300 million Shanyue people were killed, and the population of the entire Jiangnan was expanded, unlike when the big Han directly thought that these people did not exist.

And for these Shanyue people, they can have the household registration of a big man, which is more attractive than the household registration of Hope Country, and those who don't come are fools.In addition, Liu Bei treated the people of Shanyue fairly. After everyone had a role model, they believed in Liu Bei even more, and only then did the great development of Jiangnan.

But there are really many people who have been deceived by the big man, or the stubborn mountain people are not willing to come out, but continue to fight against the big man, and Liu Bei is also polite, and directly let these people taste the iron fist of the big man. Enjoying the treatment of the Hukou of the Dahan, so Liu Bei learned the policy of Daqian, let them become captives and open up wasteland for three years before they can become the people of the Dahan.

At the beginning, Liu Bei wanted to use these three years to let these savages go wild, and at the same time let them adapt to the life of a big man, so that they can become the people of a big man. After all, Xu Wei put him under great pressure. With a population of over 3000, he desperately needs allies, even if these people are savages, to deal with Dagan who occupies the Central Plains with a population of more than [-] million!
At the beginning, the effect of this policy was extremely good. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei brought a large army and Wuling Man and other leading parties. The Han army quickly cleared up these tribes that refused to cooperate with Liu Bei, and wiped out the entire Jingzhou and Yangzhou The savages at the same time got a lot of labor, so that the development of Jiangnan can proceed smoothly!
The population of Jiangnan increased by more than 300 million, and the young and strong labor force increased by one million. At the same time, he also recruited nearly 10 barbarian soldiers. In the battle with Dagan, Liu Bei was defeated repeatedly, but he was able to defeat repeatedly because of such cheap but powerful barbarian soldiers. This did not hurt the roots of Jiangnan and allowed him to quickly Reply strength!
But any policy will change because of interests, but Liu Bei set off a wave of development in the entire south of the Yangtze River, and Daqian drove the elites of the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River and let them join this wave. The nobles and nobles in the Central Plains had no choice but to do it themselves, and began to change the wild scene in the south of the Yangtze River little by little.

And this has caused a huge shortage of labor force in Jiangnan, especially those who do dangerous work (you will encounter tigers and wild boars in the wild, and crocodiles in the river, especially during this time period, there will be many crocodiles in Jiangnan, otherwise there will be no shortage of crocodiles in Jiangnan. There will be no story of Zhou Chu eliminating the three evils, this is after Jiangdong has experienced a hundred years of development), and death will not cause too much trouble, at least for the powerful and nobles.

The common people of the Han Dynasty were strongly protected by Liu Bei. How to challenge the bottom line of Liu Bei's elite clan was taught by Liu Bei's iron fist. Everyone saw that Liu Bei was resisting Lei Gong, and they didn't dare to go too far. More importantly, they Can't beat Liu Bei.

So they set their eyes on these prisoners of war. Not only are they not the people of the big man, but they are also against the big man. It is not a pity that such people die. The most important thing is that there are countless such people in the endless mountains in the south of the Yangtze River. Tribes, if they are captured, their own Wubao will not have labor force for farming.

So the whole big man set off a wave of arresting mountain and cross-country people, and Liu Bei saw that this was beneficial to the development of Jiangnan, and these savages were not the people of the big man, so he turned a blind eye, but he never Thinking that this trend will expand so much, in Yangzhou, the savage tribes in Jingzhou have been captured, and these slave hunting teams have begun to go deep into Jiaozhou, and even the number of savages in Jiaozhou has become less in recent years, and the slave hunting team of the big man began to go deep into Jiaozhou In the deep mountains and old forests outside.

Now a slave in a big man is worth 5 yuan. In front of such a huge wealth, the big man's slave hunting team has become popular. As long as a tribe is captured, people can find out. Under the temptation of money, even in dangerous places, these people Dare to go!

And the largest slave hunting team among them is Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. After all, they have the support of the Han army, and they also recruit soldiers who have retired from the Han. At first Liu Bei thought that the two of them wanted to help him solve the problem of placing soldiers. He felt it, but soon he found out that Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were leading people to capture savages outside Jiaozhou!
Of course, Liu Bei hates this kind of thing. Originally, he wanted to stop the actions of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, and he even wanted to stop the habit of capturing slaves in the Han Dynasty. After all, the Han Dynasty is now a feudal country, not a slave country. Moral habits do not like to be forced into slavery in this way.

It's a pity that Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping handed over the account book to Liu Bei and said: "Now the annual income of the slave hunting team exceeds 10 billion, and it is still increasing. It is difficult for the general to develop Jiangnan. There is a war, there is blood under every acre of land, and that blood is inevitable."

"Now the general doesn't want me to wait for the capture of prisoners of war, and use these prisoners of war to carry out the most difficult and dangerous land reclamation work, then these tasks must be done by our people, and what is left can only be the blood of my people! Is it the reason why the general saw my people shed blood and die, or because he saw these savages shed blood and die!"

What Liu Bei said was speechless. No matter from the economy or the actual needs of the big man, the population is indispensable, especially under the oppression of the big man. If the big man can't develop rapidly and strengthen his strength, he will definitely be annexed by the big man. Faced with the situation that if the development is slow, it will die, Liu Bei can only lower his moral bottom line.He can only pay attention to the people of the big man not being persecuted by the nobles!At the same time, he believed that as long as all the savages in the south of the Yangtze River were caught, this trend would stop.

But Liu Bei would have thought that in the face of interests, morality is just a wiper.The entire south of the Yangtze River is five thousand miles across, and 1000 million people are enough. Even if all the people of the entire cadre join in, it will be difficult to complete the important task of developing the south of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, with the deepening of the development of the south of the Yangtze River, more and more elite families feel that they have too little labor force, which leads to higher and higher prices for prisoners of war, so the demand is increasing, and this is how the big man's slave hunting team appeared. Such a thing as going deep into the south beyond Jiaozhou!

The current big man has somewhat returned to the appearance of the former Han Dynasty. Not only is he full of martial arts, but also the tyrants below are in groups of servants. With the efforts of these servants, Wubao has been established one by one, and pieces of land have been reclaimed. After coming out, Jiangnan's economy has increased by more than 5 times, and the tax revenue has increased by more than 10 times in Liu Bei's hands.

It was because of the sharp increase in the strength of the big man that Liu Bei turned a blind eye to such a situation, but he never imagined that Guang Su, Shuang, and Zhang Shiping could provide 10 prisoners of war. Such a slave!

Liu Bei closed his eyes, but what he thought of was that he wanted to get rid of the evil government of the big man and help the world and the people, but now that he has finally become the kind of person he looked down on at the beginning, it is difficult for him to refuse the benefits of prisoners of war.

Yuan Ji and the others don't understand Liu Bei's inner activities, especially Yuan Ji. Their family is full of slaves, and there are hundreds of thousands of people attached to his family in Runan County. This is also Yuan Shao, and the two brothers Yuan Shu can easily pull out The reason why tens of thousands of people opposed Dong Zhuo.So now there are hundreds of thousands of savages in each family of the powerful and powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River, and he doesn't take it seriously at all.

He was still eloquently saying: "Apart from Kuaiji County, the most important thing is the defense of Wu County and the mouth of the Yangtze River. If these two places are broken by Fan Xian of Dagan, Yangzhou will be completely surrounded by Dagan. , if Yangzhou is occupied by Dagan, our defense system in the south of the Yangtze River will be completely breached. Dagan will disperse the main force to Yangzhou, so that they can attack Jingzhou! Now the only way we can think of is to confront Dagan at sea Possibility, build solid fortifications along the coast and delay Dagan's attack time, after all, these places don't have enough food, our attack on Dagan's grain road is our only chance to win!"

But when Yuan Ji spoke, he realized that Liu Bei was still closing his eyes.

This made Jian Yong worry and asked: "Xuande, what's wrong with you?"

After a long time, Liu Bei shook his head and said: "It's okay, we don't need to be overly nervous now, Dagan hasn't mobilized troops yet, even if they are stationed in Ryukyu now, given the remoteness of Ryukyu, it is difficult to attack our base in a short time! And Yangzhou Compared to Hanzhong, I am more worried about the problem in Hanzhong. Zhang Lu and we are not of the same mind. He has a complicated relationship with the Yellow Turban Army. They will not surrender to Lei Gong. After all, they are all members of the Taoist sect. With this relationship, Lei Gong may not do anything to him! If Zhang Lu surrenders to Dagan, Hanzhong will not be guaranteed, Hanzhong will not be guaranteed, and Shuzhong will definitely be difficult to stabilize, so The problem in Hanzhong is what we should be most concerned about at this stage.”

Yuan Ji nodded slowly. He also thought that Zhang Lu was an unstable factor, especially Hanzhong is the gateway to Shuzhong, which is extremely important to the current big Han, but he still hesitated: "The soldiers in Zhang Lu's hands It is not difficult for us to defeat it, but Hanzhong's terrain is dangerous, and it can be said that one man is in charge of the gate. Even if we have hundreds of thousands of troops, it is difficult to break into Hanzhong, not to mention that there is a covetous giant beside us. Dry!"

"As long as we make a slight move, Zhang Baiqi from Guanzhong may break into Hanzhong. I'm afraid we will be really dangerous at that time, because we can defeat Zhang Lu, but it will be extremely difficult to expel the main army from Hanzhong !"

Liu Bei said: "So this time I will lead the soldiers into Hanzhong. Before Zhang Lu reacts, I will directly capture Zhang Lu and occupy the entire Hanzhong! Yangzhou will be handed over to Yun Chang to establish a solid line of defense in the dangerous place. , we must not let the generals of the army drive straight in!"

Liu Bei figured it out, he had given up his moral bottom line, but the big man must be rescued!
Liu Bei didn't know, because Dagan occupied Ryukyu, which caused commotion in the entire Kuaiji County and even Yangzhou.

Everyone was frightened at the beginning, and the nobles in Kuaiji County even fled to Jingzhou without Dagan's army landing in Yangzhou.

In the eyes of the nobles, Dagan is so terrible, and the people of Kuaiji County, under the humiliation of the nobles, are also frightened by the soldiers of Dagan. After all, although the world has been in chaos for decades, Yangzhou has not been affected. It can even be said that the people of Yangzhou have been a little transparent for thousands of years. Even the dispute between Chu and Han did not come here.

Whether it is the people or the local tyrants here, they have continued to live according to the 400-year-old habit of the Han Dynasty. Under Liu Bei's governance, Yangzhou has been changing with each passing day. The population has doubled in ten years, and the land has increased several times. It's bustling during the day, so it can be said that everyone has a good sense of Liu Bei, a great general.

But the arrival of the Dagan army made them finally understand that the world is now in troubled times, and the flames of war have already reached their homes.

For a while, the whole of Yangzhou was in turmoil. Those who had money tried to escape from Yangzhou, and those who had no money tried to hoard food. In this way, they survived the military disaster.

Yangzhou Mu Guanyu followed and led the soldiers to patrol around Yangzhou to suppress the turmoil. After several months of panic, the people of Yangzhou discovered that the army of Daqian had not firmly established the land of Yangzhou.

Everyone also relaxed and began to resume their old life. After all, even if there is a war, everyone's life will continue. Ordinary people can't afford to stay at home all the time!
Kuaiji County, Dongzhi County!
Zhu Hai brought his buffalo to his field and continued to reclaim the land. Although the field was still a bit cold in early spring, Zhu Hai was still sweating profusely soon.

At this time, a strong man shouted: "Zhu Hai, have you started plowing the land so early?"

Seeing the person coming, Zhu Hai stopped what he was doing and said, "Brother Marlowe, why do you have time to visit my younger brother!"

Marlow approached him and whispered, "Brother has a way to make a fortune, so I don't know if you dare to do it!"

Zhu Hai asked in a low voice, "What deal?"

Marlowe said, "You know about the Ryukyu incident, right?"

Zhu Haidao: "Who else in Yangzhou doesn't know!"

"There are people coming from the island. They bought the grain and grass in our hands at three times the price, as well as all kinds of chicken, duck and fish meat. They don't want us to transport them. As long as they transport the goods to the seaside, they will use three times the price of Lilan!"

Then he excitedly said: "This is the way for us to get rich!"
