Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 374 Conquering Baiyue
There are as many as [-] disabled people in Wu?
Hearing this, the ministers in the court hall couldn't help but gasped and were shocked.

After all, they don't see many disabled people on weekdays.

It's just because people with disabilities are often ashamed of themselves, and rarely come out to meet people.

However, Ji Zha changed the subject again and said, "These [-] disabled people include congenital disabilities and acquired disabilities."

"Whether deaf, blind, lame, paralyzed, missing a hand, or broken a leg are all disabilities."

"Half of them are congenitally disabled, and just over half are acquired."

"Acquired disabled people are mostly retired old soldiers, caused by the legacy of the war. However, their blindness, missing feet or broken hands do not affect their work, but their efficiency may not be as good as those with healthy limbs!"

Hearing this, Qing Ji nodded slightly. This statistic was actually within his tolerable range.

as predicted!

Even in the later generations of China, with a population of more than one billion, there are about 6.21 million people with disabilities, accounting for [-]% of the total population!

Now, the population of Wu country is roughly three million, and the disabled account for one percent, which is not unacceptable!

After all, the state of Wu is a country that fights all the year round and is militaristic, and there are many disabled soldiers.

Ji Zha said again: "According to the edict of the great king, the handicapped will be self-reliant. Like the blind, they can learn the rhythm."

"If there are few feet and hands, you can also teach them how to fish and farm, so that they can make a living instead of abandoning them."

"If a deaf-mute person, you can also teach him to read and write, and send a doctor to recuperate."

"If idiots, lunatics, and paralyzed people with hemiplegia, they will be recuperated and improved, and the government will take care of them."

"For those who are really unable to rely on themselves, the government should also bear the food and clothing of one of them."

"The Department of Nursing and Diseases is already implementing it, and I believe we will see results in the near future."

"good!"

Qingji is still very relieved about Ji Zha's handling of affairs.

Furthermore, the Department of Nursing Diseases is under the command of Fan Li, the internal history of Zhisu, and Fan Li's ability is beyond doubt!

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Da Sima Sun Ping stepped forward.

"What's the matter, Da Sima?"

"Sun Wu was ordered to lead the army to the south. Among the tribes in the south of the Lingnan, few resisted, and most of them surrendered, and they were placed under the rule of Wu. I believe that by the end of the year, Wu's southern expedition will be able to take all the land in the south of the Lingnan. Down……"

Sun Ping's words are to the point.

He is reminding Qingji that he must plan ahead, how to arrange the Lingnan land?
Since 771 BC, King Ping of Zhou was forced to move his capital, Haojingdong, to Chengzhou because of the disaster of the dog army, so it was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty because it was in the east of Haojing.

Among them, the Yue people who existed in Baiyue had been trading with the princes of the Central Plains to exchange silk and handmade products in the Central Plains with ivory, tortoiseshell, rhinoceros horn, and fragrant wood.

The so-called land of Baiyue includes the land of Wuyue, as well as the Yangyue, Dongou, Minyue, Nanyue, Xiou, Luoyue and many other branches of the Yue ethnic group in the south.

The distribution of Baiyue is seven or eight thousand miles from Jiaozhi to Kuaiji, and there are various places in Baiyue, each with its own caste.

As for the Baiyue in the south of Wu State, it included the later Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong and Guangxi, as well as parts of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Yuenan Monkey. It has a vast territory and is larger than the current Wu State!

Much bigger!
With the national strength of the Wu State at this time, it is impossible to completely establish effective rule over these places, so that it can be digested!

The reason why Wu State was able to quickly capture the land of Lingnan also benefited from the fact that Fu Chai had already conquered the land of Lingnan before and established a Southern Wu State, which made hundreds of Nanyue tribes surrender.

After Fu Chai was killed, those tribal leaders also surrendered to Wu.

In order to get the land of Lingnan, Qingji will not blame them for the past, as long as he agrees to submit to Wu, he can continue to be the chief.

In addition, most of the main force of the Yue people have all been folded in Kuaiji County.

This made Wu Jun's southern expedition very smooth, unlike the later Qin army's expedition to Baiyue, which was full of difficulties.

You know, after Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world, he sent [-] troops to conquer Baiyue three times in the south. It took many years and hundreds of thousands of people were killed or injured. Only then did he completely conquer Baiyue!

That is the tiger and wolf master who once swept the six kingdoms!

In order to conquer the land of Lingnan, the Qin Dynasty paid a very heavy price.

Now, Wu Guo was able to successfully capture the land of Lingnan.

I have to admit that Qingji is far-sighted.

Of course, at this time, the Yue people in the south of the Five Ridges had not yet formed a climate.

The Lingnan land conquered by Sun Wu led the army, including Fujian, Jiangxi, and Guangdong and Guangxi in later generations. This land is very vast and narrow, and it is sparsely populated. It may not be an easy task to completely conquer it.

At this time, Dazai Ji Zha stood up, bowed to Qingji and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the land in the south of the Five Ridges is too vast, and the land is sparsely populated, and it is full of miasma, where poisonous insects and beasts often haunt, so it is barren." The land is not suitable for settlement."

"That's why, when my Wu army is conquering the land of Lingnan, we can move the local aborigines to the country, and even settle in the local area, and practice enlightenment, so as to enrich the population of the country of Wu!"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers stood up and expressed their agreement.

The eunuch Shen breathed loudly and said: "Your Majesty, what the Dazai said is absolutely true!"

"The land in the south of the Lingnan is a barren land, and the people here drink blood like hair, refuse to obey the king, and the roads are blocked and the environment is harsh."

"Different from Jiangnan, even more different from Central Plains!"

"If my country of Wu wants to rule the land of Lingnan, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it!"

"Exactly!"

The Shaofu was followed by Li and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to govern the land in the south of Lingnan, the gains outweigh the losses!"

"The only way is to digest the Yue people and integrate them with our country of Wu, regardless of each other, is the kingly way!"

In the huge hall, more than a hundred ministers, most of whom have already stood up, begged Qingji to relocate the Nanyue people from the Lingnan land to the country instead of establishing rule over the Lingnan land.

This made Qingji hesitate.

Because in his mind, the Yue people in Lingnan could also be assimilated by Wu.

Because hundreds of years ago, the land of Wu was also full of Yue people——Yangyue (Jing Man).

The main characteristics of the Yue people are broken hair tattoos, wrong arms and left lapels, and the tribes tend to attack each other. Most of them live in caves, engaged in fishing and simple agricultural production, and they are in an uncivilized barbaric state as a whole.

Even at this time, on the land of Wu State, there are still some Yue people who have retained the original state, and they can accept the governance of Wu State, and there are few contradictions.

Because Qing Ji is very magnanimous, Wu Guo is also tolerant, can respect the local culture, customs and customs, and will not force them to change their past habits.

Of course, the premise is that Qingji's bottom line cannot be violated!

Paying tribute on time, handing in taxes, and communicating with Wu State are the important reasons why all Yue tribes can survive in Wu State.
