A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 924 Peeling

Liuzhou,

Dongning City,

The four streets in the city form a tic-tac-toe, dividing the city into eight squares. The city has four gates, and the square inside the east gate is the East Market. This is a lively wholesale market with all kinds of goods, and also buys foreigners. items.

In the four city gates and on the four streets, shops are also opened along the streets.

Although only some of the shops are in operation at this time, the planning is still relatively long-term.

Beifang, the newly built Liuzhou government office, has an eight-character wall, six doors, and a drum standing at the gate, which can be beaten to appeal.

A guard wearing soap clothes, carrying a long stick and carrying a horizontal knife stood in front of the door with great dignity.

A group of Daoyi tribe leaders and elders who came to pay homage had been very nervous since entering the city. Now they arrived in front of the governor's office and looked at the house that was many times more majestic than their tribe's barracks. Even more nervous.

"Everyone, please!"

Everyone carefully walked into the yamen, and found that after turning around a screen wall, there was a small house in the courtyard.

"Let me show you around. This is the Earth Temple built in the governor's office."

A group of Yi people listened to the translator and seemed to understand, but they didn't understand, it was the temple of the earth god.

Someone saw many human-like objects standing in the temple, as if they were made of leather that had been cut with grass and turned into dolls. "Could that be the God of the Earth?"

The golden-armored Prime Minister seems to be a bigger official, but he will not be here in the future.

Next, we took them to visit the various rooms in the Yazhong, and then went to see Governor Wang. These people were like walking zombies all the way.

Many people even think that there is no return this time.

Liu Shenjun explained to everyone, "After the last battle, Chief Mona, the Wild Boar King, was knocked down by our tooth army cavalry and captured alive. Prime Minister Wu had orders to treat the captives preferentially and did not kill him. He was just allowed to help build the city here.

But this wild boar king didn't know what was good or bad. He ran away several times without repentance. He secretly incited the prisoners to rebel and was captured by the guards.

Governor Wang ordered the leaders of Mona and others to be peeled off and erected in the earth temple in Yazhong as a warning. Their heads would be hanged on the city gate to show the public, and then passed on to other villages to show their respect and imitate them! "

Liu Shenjun, the governor who brought them in, smiled and showed his neat white teeth. He pointed at those things and said, "Actually, you should be old acquaintances of these.

The one in the middle turns out to be the leader of the Pabra tribe, nicknamed the Wild Boar King. I heard that he is the bravest warrior within hundreds of miles around you, and the youngest and most promising leader of each tribe."

Everyone's faces turned red at the thought of peeling off a piece of skin.

Liu Canjun glanced at him, then looked at Mona's bag of human skin, "At first, they were skinned alive, but later on, they lost their breath. Half were skinned alive and half were skinned after death."

"Chief Mona?"

His voice fell,

Today I brought these leaders to the Governor's Yamen. The first stop was to visit these human skin bags, just to warn them.

Although the Daoyi tribe has the custom of hunting heads out of the grass, they will also process the hunted heads and store them on the walls of their homes.

But people from the Tang Dynasty are more fierce.

The complete human skin is peeled off and then lasted with grass to make a human skin bag.

But Governor Wang is quite polite, and he is very young. Such a young man is actually the tallest leader here.

The Wild Boar King is Mona's nickname. On the hunting ground during Mona's coming-of-age ceremony, he single-handedly killed an eight-hundred-pound wild boar king, earning him the title Wild Boar King. Later, he also used the lower jaw of the wild boar king. The bones were polished into a wild boar bone tomahawk, and the wild boar tusks were used as daggers. In the subsequent battles, he gained a lifelong reputation for bravery.

"No,"

hiss!

There was a sound of inhalation, and the barbarians were trembling.

Skinning him alive is more cruel and miserable than being beheaded alive.

"Is this skinned alive?" a clan leader couldn't help but ask.

Who dares to imagine that this most courageous clan leader is like this now?

But it's even worse when the last is hanging after peeling.

The scene fell into dead silence,

The barbarians who were just guessing whether it was the God of the Earth all stood there with pale faces, and some were even trembling with their arms and legs.

Mona and others suffered the punishment of being skinned, which was very miserable.

"Our prefectural economics school and medical school in Liuzhou have been completed and are about to enroll students. With special approval from Prime Minister Wu, each of the two schools will recruit fifty Confucian students and medical students. They will be provided with food and six dou of rice per month."

"He also gave special instructions that in addition to the junior students, fifty additional students, fifty epistudents, and fifty regular students will be given each..."

All the barbarians were puzzled.

Why did the school suddenly come up again? After a translation and explanation, they seemed to understand it but not quite. It seemed like it was a place where Tang culture and medical skills were taught?

"Those who have young and outstanding disciples from various tribes can choose to come to the school. Those who pass the interview can stay and study. If they succeed in their studies, they will be put to great use in the future."

Everyone listened carefully, and the more they listened, the more interested they became. It seemed really good. At least you could learn the Chinese language and even medical skills here.

In the tribe, medical skills are mastered by witch doctors. It is a very mysterious and precious skill that will never be passed down lightly.

Some people did not believe that the Tang people would easily teach their children medical skills, and they did not expect to become officials or soldiers after learning, but they thought that if they learned from the Tang people, it would be much easier to do business with the Tang people.

Lin students also receive six dou of rice per month, which is a very good salary for public-funded students. Of course, the number of places is limited, and the tribal leaders also know that their children will probably not be selected. However, there are also hyperplasia and epiphysics, etc. I heard that these are additional admissions, but they need to pay for themselves, including tuition, accommodation, food, and school uniforms. Etc., the difference between these types of life is that the money paid by accretion is less than that of epiphysis, and the money of epiphysis is less than that of epiphysis.

Students not only pay various tuition fees, etc., but also have to pay an additional tuition fee, which is equivalent to buying admission qualifications.

If your tribe's descendants are poor in all aspects, but you are willing to pay a small sum of money, you will have the opportunity to become an exception student. Of course, there is a quota. There are only fifty places for each of the prefectural classics and medicine. until.

One recruitment per year, five years of schooling.

Among these students, only the public-financed students have the status of official students, that is, they have the status of reserve officials. The outstanding ones will be recommended as tribute students and go to Beijing to take the imperial examination. After five years of study and graduation, you can be qualified to be an official.

These conditions are quite good.

Other students do not have these benefits.

Liuzhou now has a second school, which does not include metaphysics. In addition, the two subordinate counties also have two schools of medicine and economics, with half the number of students compared with the state school.

So this time, one state and two counties have to recruit one hundred people each for economics and medicine, and one hundred people for epiphyses.

Six schools with a total enrollment of 800 students.

For the newly established Liuzhou, this is simply a major expansion of enrollment. After all, there is not much population now. Not only are the six official schools complete, but they also have many more students than the rated number, and there are so many epiphytic overgrowth cases. .

"Xianggong Wu and Governor Wang still appreciate the tribes like you who have taken the initiative to join, so this special instruction will directly allocate student quotas to each of your tribes,"

There are four complete tribes that did not participate in the alliance's attack, and there are also branches of the other three tribes. There are a total of seven tribes and thirteen tribes.

"Each of your clans will be given thirty student quotas, five from each of the six schools, and ten from each of the epiphysics and epiphysics."

The leaders were stunned again.

Is this a direct apportionment?

A tribe must produce thirty young people.

"Entry requirements are between ten and sixteen years old, boys."

After the Yi people heard these requests, they didn't react much. They realized that this school was actually the Tang people asking their tribe to hand over hostages.

A tribe handed over thirty young men as hostages.

They wanted to understand this and did not express dissatisfaction. On the contrary, they accepted it calmly. Compared with seeing Mona being skinned and made into a human skin bag hanging there,

It would be more understandable and acceptable to hand over hostages.

Although you have to pay money to study, and the students pay more, they can accept the payment. After all, as conquered people, they have been mentally prepared for this.

Thirteen tribes had to hand over a total of 390 protons.

It's just that those Tang people said it nicely, students, teaching Confucian classics and medical skills.

The Yi people have never heard of the saying that those who know the current affairs are heroes, but they have learned a painful lesson from Mo Na and they are now very aware of the current affairs.

One by one, they expressed their agreement in front of Liu Canjun, and some even wanted to pay tuition and scholarships immediately, promising to send their children back when they returned, or to send someone to pick them up now.

"Very good," Liu Canjun thought he would need to spend a lot of time, but he didn't expect them to be so cooperative.

"Don't worry, everyone, the tribal children come to study in the prefecture and county towns and have one day off every ten days. They don't have time to go back to the tribe, but you can come to visit them when you are free, and there are long winters and long summers every year, so you can go home."

"We will soon open social schools in various tribes and send students to social schools to teach the children in the tribes, literacy, arithmetic, etc..."

After visiting the school,

The tribal leaders were actually quite envious of them. Although these schools seemed a bit crude to Wanda and others, the tribal leaders thought they were really luxurious.

Especially after visiting the school cafeteria and trying a meal directly in the cafeteria at noon, I knew that these would be the meals for the students in the future, which made me even more envious.

The thing called soup cake is so smooth, chewy and delicious, and the steamed cake is fluffy, soft and elastic. When you pinch it, they can't help but think of their wife on their wedding night...

The rice is different from what they eat.

You can also eat fish and shrimp every day.

······

"Everyone, I have some good news to tell you."

"We will open a shop in each village to purchase local products, and also sell Central Plains goods to everyone, such as oil, salt, tea and wine, pots, dishes, needlework, ropes, knives and hoes, cloth and medicine, etc., and the sales prices are lower than In the past, the products at the seaside market were cheaper, but the purchase prices for deerskin, camphor, medicinal materials, rice, etc. have increased a lot."

"Also, we will recruit some people from various villages to work in the near future. The treatment will be generous and the wages will be large. If you are interested, please sign up quickly..."
