Chapter 279 Imitation
"My general is willing to redeem one person with [-] shi. The total is [-] shi. If there is an extra [-] shi, my general would like to thank Prefect Yang..." The envoy came to Xidu for the fourth time.

Xidu and Guzang are not too far away, nor too close, so it takes about two days to hurry up.

"How much?" Yang Zheng suspected that he had heard wrong.

Although it is possible to bargain, the difference between 100 shi and [-] million shi is too big, right?
This is treating yourself as a beggar.

I was a little embarrassed at first.

"Inspector Hu has not lost the food sent by Chang'an during this period, more than 70 shi, why should we divide it into Xiping?" Yang Zheng pointed it out directly.

Besides, even if Hu Fen is short of food, is Deng Ai short of food?

After many years of farming, everyone knows that Nan'an is rich and rich.

Hu Fen and Wei Guan knew everything about Xiping well, but Yang Zheng couldn't hide what happened in Yongliang.

The messenger looked a little weird.

"Go back and tell Governor Hu that Xiping is indeed in trouble. Ten thousand shi is not enough to fit between the teeth. How about it? One price, [-] shi per person, a fair price. The families of these generals can get it together no matter what." Yang Yang Zheng helped them figure it out.

Three nine 27, 27 shi grain...

The price gap between the two parties was too big, Yang Zheng just didn't let go, and the messenger could only leave in despair.

Once September is over in Xiping, the weather turns cooler.

But the busyness of various places is still going on, opening fields, leveling land, building roads, and building canals.

Probably Yang Zheng's lion opened his mouth and Hu Fen was a little annoyed.

Several Hu tribes went south to plunder again. They encountered Jiang Faye's Qiang soldiers and returned home in defeat.

Appropriate enemy attacks also made the common people share the same hatred with the Xiping military mansion.

Some tribes in the deep mountains and old forests in the north were not very fond of Xiping before, but now all of them are obedient.

The private village chiefs and Shi chiefs who were sent there were also treated courteously.

Good news from the south is coming.

After the implementation of the Twelve-Military Merit System, the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers exploded directly, which is equivalent to fighting for themselves, and everyone is desperate.

However, the Qiang people are still in a slave society, and their armor is not fully prepared.

More than 100 years ago, to deal with the Han army, they rushed up with hoes and sharpened sticks screaming.

When they found out that the enemy who was holding a sword with a ring head, holding a spear, and wearing leather armor and iron armor was also a Qiang, what was the psychological impact on them?
The soldiers of the four-way army, driving straight in, can often defeat the enemy several times.

Seeing the good news, Yang Zheng was quite relieved.

A system that can last for four to five hundred years in the mighty history naturally has its unique features.

And Yang Zheng could clearly feel that since the enactment of a series of measures such as dividing the land and reducing the tax, and the military system, Xiping has also entered a period of rapid development.

Every autumn, all the barbarians of the Western Regions go south to the Xihai Grassland one after another.

This year, the West Sea is calm and calm, but some Xiaohu tribes requested to be included, and they were placed near Longqi.

Shao Tong's Sinicization strategy is the most radical, with a knife, life or death is up to him.

"Five thousand stones per person, no more." The envoy of Guzang went back and forth for the fifth time.

Yang Zheng was almost sure that it wasn't Hu Fen who was bargaining with him. Hu Fen had a bold personality and wouldn't be so penny-pinching, so it must be Wei Guan.

"Twenty thousand stones per person, no less." Naturally, Yang Zheng would not agree to the price of five thousand stones.

But this time the messenger came prepared, and seemed to know Yang Zheng's psychological value.

Come three times a day, every penny is grinded, every penny counts.

This made Yang Zheng very annoyed, and finally agreed on a deal of [-] shi for each person, nine people, rounded up, and Hu Qi asked for [-] shi, a total of [-] shi.

Hu Fen gave [-], Deng Ai gave [-]...

It can be considered a small fortune.

Several descendants will be overjoyed.

These days, Wei Jun is rarely able to become a general and school because he was killed from the bottom.

Most of them have some backers and family backgrounds.

They have always been pampered, but in Xiping, they work like ordinary soldiers, eat and rest like ordinary soldiers, which is a double torture for them both mentally and physically.

Everyone else followed without looking back, only Huangfu Kai bowed to Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng also bowed his hand in return.

The Anding Huangfu clan can be regarded as a general since the Han and Wei dynasties, Huangfu Gui, one of the Liangzhou Sanming, and Huangfu Song, one of the three generals in the late Han Dynasty, all came from the Anding Huangfu clan.

If Anding Hu hadn't hugged Sima Yi's thigh, he wouldn't even be qualified to lift Huangfu's shoes.

In the torrent of troubled times, scholars are also floating and sinking.

Over the past few days, Jiu Camping had been secretly observing, and Yang Zheng roughly knew what Huangfu Kai was thinking.

After staying in Xiping for more than half a year, I saw and felt it.

The general will also choose sides.

It's just that Yang Zheng's influence is now limited to the western edge of Jincheng, but the Huangfu family is stable, so it is impossible for him to defect to him at the risk of extermination.

Deng Ai learned a lot from a pitfall, this guy is very cunning now, his eyes are red and he only stares at Yang Zheng, and he cooperates with Wei Guan in Liangzhou, and anyone who goes in and out of Jincheng from east to west will be severely tortured.

Several nine camp soldiers were caught by him.

As a result, there is less and less news from the east.

It was difficult to break through to the east, so Yang Zheng focused on the north.

Wei Guan is determined to rectify and work carefully, but the area currently controlled by Hu Fen is only Wuwei.

Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang are leaking everywhere.

Without Deng Ai's control over the place, it would be impossible to completely block it.

"Wuwei is also implementing the Fubing system recently!" Meng Guan brought back a news that surprised Yang Zheng.

"Where did he get the fields?" Yang Zheng asked curiously.

I feel like I've been ripped off...

There is a kind of inexplicable anger, but also a kind of inexplicable expectation.

Hu Fenweiguan plagiarized himself, isn't it his recognition of himself?

But the implementation of the Fubing system is not that simple.

There are many Huns in the Northwest and few Hans, so Sinicization must be completed first. However, Wuwei is a Xiongnu and Xianbei with its own royal lineage. Sinicization is very difficult, unlike the Qiang people in Xiping who are scattered.

Secondly, most of the Qianghu in Wuwei are nomadic tribes, and they don't know how to farm...

The reason why Yang Zheng implemented the Fubing system was due to a lot of preliminary preparations.

The farming system, slavery, waiting to return, and governing the people are all in one.

Designed a relatively perfect system of integration and ascension...

Moreover, there are fewer people in Xipingtian.

Wuwei also has fields, but more of them are powerful, most of them are grasslands...

"Hu Fen collected some official villages, and bought some middle and low-grade fields from the powerful, and distributed them to the Han army under his command..." Meng Guan also felt a little funny.

Sure enough, it is the beggar's version of the Fubing system.

Yang Zheng was also a little funny,
This courage to try to change is commendable.

In farming civilization, land is actually combat power.

"How is Peng Hu recently?" Yang Zheng was quite concerned about his nominal father-in-law.

"Hu Fen took a fancy to him, and kept him with him all the time. He dispatched [-] cavalrymen from Peng's army, but many of them had their thoughts on our side, and the Jiuye Camp secretly had contact with them."

Marrying Peng Qingchan is tantamount to marrying part of Peng's heart.

While Peng Hu was under house arrest in Xiping, many people in the Peng Department secretly turned to Yang Zheng.

The battle against Qiang strengthened their confidence even more.

Yang Zheng praised: "You did a good job. Hu Fen brought him by his side not only because of his fancy, but also out of precaution."

"Wei Guan is very shrewd, many of us in Wuwei have been arrested." Meng Guan said in an unexpected way.

"Let everyone lurk, cancel the system of reporting every seven days, and if there is no important news, there is no need to show up." Between Xiping and Wuwei, it is almost a clear card.

In addition to careful work, the business travelers who come and go can also bring back a lot of news.

There is no need to take any more risks.

Yang Zheng didn't care about the Fubing system, slaves waiting to be returned to the law, and the Twelve-Military Merit System. These things were all based on the land, and Sima and his son couldn't use them.

The most important thing for Sima and his son now is to calm down, deeply bond with the gentry, and calm the hearts of the people inside and outside the court.
