Chapter 629 General Zhang Zhonglang is a master at pretending to be confused
Hearing what Liu Bei said, Zhang Yan's heart sank, and she lowered her head even lower.

He could foresee that Liu Bei was going to attack him on this issue, but he didn't know the specific process and result.

"I also think this is wrong, but in order to survive, there is no other way... The mountain people are all unbearable to the government's tyranny, and they have no choice but to escape from the mountains. In order to survive, there is no other way..."

As he spoke, he carefully looked at Liu Bei's expression.

Seeing the emotion on Liu Bei's face.

"Yeah, it's not easy for anyone. Living in this world, after one meal, you don't know if you will have another meal."

Liu Bei said with emotion: "Don't talk about them. Ten years ago, how could I not be like this? But ah, there was no way to do it before. In order to survive, we could only fight for it, but now that there is a solution to the problem , why do you want to continue to live like that?"

Zhang Yan blinked, and suddenly realized what Liu Bei meant.

"General, what do you mean..."

"General Zhang Zhonglang, since you are already an official of the court, you should work for the court. Now the court is recovering and merging states on a large scale. Don't you plan to help the court?"

"I... I am of course willing to help the court solve problems, but I don't know how to do it..."

"Hahahaha, General Zhang Zhonglang knows it clearly, but he still pretends to be confused by me!"

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Yan with a smile, and said word by word: "Looking at it this way, Zhang Zhonglang is a master at pretending to be confused."

"This... this... the general, the humble... the humble..."

Seeing Zhang Yan's flustered expression, Liu Bei laughed out loud and patted Zhang Yan's shoulder.

"This is a compliment to you!"

"Many... Thank you, General, for your compliment."

"Hahahahahaha!"

Liu Bei continued to laugh, and after laughing, he looked at Zhang Yan gently: "I'm not joking, this time when I go back, Zhang Zhonglang will dismiss all those who should be dismissed. Hundreds of thousands of people are staying in the mountains. For long-term things, I don't think it's appropriate no matter how I look at it.

Not enough to eat, not warm enough to wear on the mountain, going down the mountain to plunder if there is nothing to eat, will only make the relationship between the mountain and the mountain more and more tense, let them all leave and go to Bingzhou.

This time we have regained Bingzhou. Many counties are short of population. I will also think of a way here. The population in the mountains can also be moved to Bingzhou for naturalization. In this way, the construction of Bingzhou should be resumed. "

Zhang Yan swallowed her saliva, secretly thinking that it was so.

In fact, Liu Bei's request was already within his consideration, and it did not exceed his expectations. He guessed that Liu Bei would definitely make this request to him.

So his response was not flustered.

"The general hopes so, and the lowly position will naturally not object, but the general needs to know that these people who went up the mountain did not go up the mountain out of their own will. When he was cornered, he went up the mountain.

If corrupt officials and tyrannical government cannot be brought under control, then even if humble officials force them to go down the mountain, one day they will go up the mountain again. Such a thing, with the wisdom of the general, must not have been unexpected, I wonder if it is so? "

Liu Bei nodded.

"Yes, they were forced to go up the mountain by corrupt officials and tyrannical government. The ancients said that tyrannical government is fiercer than tigers. I have realized this, so I have been working hard to rectify officials and governance over the years, and there have been some changes. , Liangzhou, for example, is well governed.

There used to be only 50 people in Liangzhou's household registration, and there were also many hidden households fleeing from households, as well as servants of big families. After my governance, Liangzhou's population has now exceeded one million. This is a real thing, and no one can Fake, no one can ignore.

You can tell them that General Liu Bei promised them that they will not have to pay any taxes and will not be conscripted for three years when they go down the mountain and enter Bingzhou. borne by the government. "

Zhang Yan was a little surprised.

"General, is this... true?"

"The promise given by Liu has never been violated. Isn't it because of Liu's promise that you are willing to submit to the court? And this kind of thing has not happened before. This is the case in Liangzhou. Now, Bingzhou will do the same."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Liu really wants to govern Bingzhou well, he really hopes that Bingzhou will recover and become an important barrier in the land of three rivers, and he must not just watch Bingzhou decline. It is normal to pay something for this. Things, you just don't worry."

Zhang Yan looked at Liu Bei for a while.

"Then, General, what if someone doesn't want to go down the mountain?"

"At the beginning, there were many people in Liangzhou who didn't believe in the government's policies. They didn't regret it until someone actually got benefits. They quickly returned to the government's household registration. Right now, it's just a matter of doing it all over again.

The sooner you go down the mountain, the sooner you can enjoy the government's favorable policies. The later you go down the mountain, the more you will suffer. What's more, what I have done is not tyranny or tyranny? "

Then this is the truth, the government can do such things as paying taxes on behalf of the government, it is simply doing charity, where is tyranny and tyranny?
If the original local government could do this, how could so many people follow Zhang Yan to rebel and go up the mountain?
After thinking about many things, Zhang Yan nodded slowly.

"If the general has such considerations, then the humble staff is willing to cooperate with the general and let as many people as possible go down the mountain."

"General Zhang Zhonglang, I will give you a standard in the future. You will choose 1 people in your army to stay according to the standard I gave, and all the rest will be dismissed as civilians."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Afterwards, I will reorganize your army into a regular army of the imperial court, give you a military title, and pay you food. You take the army to Luoyang for training. After the training is completed, you will be a serious court royal teacher." , you and your subordinates will also become regular court officers, and you don’t need to worry about other things.”

Zhang Yan's heart shuddered.

This is the matter of Liu Bei's treatment after talking to him.

Zhang Yan has a little understanding of Liu Bei's military strategy. He knows that Liu Bei's army is organized with 1 people as an army, and he pays great attention to training and officer education. It is fully reflected in the military.

So Zhang Yan knew that Liu Bei was not cheating on him.

"If you were someone else, the humble official would have doubts, but the general said so, the humble official would not doubt it, and the humble official is willing to obey the general's order."

Zhang Yan said a very good sentence.

I only agreed to you because I believed in Liu Bei's character and promise. If it were someone else, I would definitely not agree, so you have to be careful, don't spoil the character you have accumulated over the years.

Liu Bei also heard the subtext of these words, so he nodded in satisfaction.

"If you do the right thing, you will have a bright future. General Zhang Zhonglang, you will have a bright future."

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Yan with satisfaction.

Zhang Yan's problem is solved, and Yu Fuluo's problem, which was left aside before, should also be brought up.

Liu Bei shifted his target, and started showing a kind smile to Yu Fuluo again.

"It's really impolite for the great Shanyu to come here and welcome him from a distance."

Yu Fuluo shivered for no reason.

"The general has said it before. I'm just a small Zhonglang general, I don't dare to call myself Shan Yu..."

"Hahahaha, the Great Chanyu was joking. The Great Chanyu has always been the Great Chanyu of the Southern Huns. Why don't you dare call yourself that?"

Liu Bei walked to Yu Fuluo's side and held Yu Fuluo's hand: "Da Shanyu's troops have provided great help to the imperial court in this Northern Expedition. Please provide some help, I just heard that the life of the Da Shan Yu is a bit difficult, I wonder if this is the case?"

For a while, Yu Fuluo couldn't figure out what Liu Bei meant, so he hesitated.

"This……"

"Actually, during this trip to the north, Bei's subordinates also provided Bei with a lot of information about the Southern Huns' troops. When Bei learned about it, he felt very embarrassed."

Liu Bei didn't mean that Fu Luo had finished speaking, so he said with emotion: "The people of the Southern Huns were displaced and lived in poverty. It's not that Bei can't understand things like this.

So this time the Southern Huns made great contributions, and they wanted to reward the Southern Huns for their contributions, so they specially wanted to solve problems for Da Shanyu, and came up with a very interesting method. "
