Chapter 343 Dingba Ce!The slave gap is not optimistic!

"Cerious methods will not pacify a place. Even if it can defeat the chin, it cannot govern the chin. Qin's military front is so great! However, after conquering the six kingdoms, it failed to implement benevolent policies, resulting in Qin Fen and the six kingdoms. The second generation of the world that was conquered by Shi Yu Lie is dead, and the story of Qin must be observed by Your Highness!"

In the prince's chariot, Zhuge Liang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he continued: "It is naturally a good idea for Your Highness to take advantage of the contradiction between Banzhen Man and Lin Junman to visit Badi, but after passing through Badi , one should use gentle tactics, a carrot, and a big stick to make Badi obey."

"What the Prime Minister said makes sense. This is exactly what Zen wants to do."

Liu Chan said slowly: "The disobedient Linjun and Bancheng barbarians were demoted as slaves to reclaim the ownerless land of Yizhou. Mining, building roads and bridges, and digging canals all required human hands. Those who disobey will have no choice but to do this."

Dissatisfied, right?

Then I’ll do it until you’re convinced!

It's like mining. No matter how strong a man is, if he goes mining for a year or two, he will basically be useless.

Those who can spend three full years in the mines can only be described as rare.

Those who disobeyed died, so how could Baadi be in turmoil?
Furthermore
If you want to get rich, build roads first.

The official roads in Yizhou were in disrepair and were in poor condition. Liu Chan planned to build a large number of cement roads after cement was successfully developed and mass-produced.

When the road is clear, both business and marching will become smoother.

What was originally a one-day journey became half a day's march when the roads were improved.

But whether it's mining, building roads, or repairing canals, it all requires labor.

Even if the land slaves for the meritorious soldiers were rewarded, the government would still need a large number of people.

For today's Yizhou, the more slaves, the better, there is no such thing as too many.

"Those who are obedient among them will be organized into households to unite the people, and the Han people will rule the barbarians, and the barbarians will rule the barbarians. They will be recruited into the Barbarian Guards and made into Baman Guards. They will not have to pay taxes and will conquer the world for our Han family. The rest of the barbarians can be cultivated. If you have land, you can learn Chinese studies, and you may not be able to become an official in the court."

"The Prime Minister said that benevolent government will be implemented. After Badi is pacified, benevolent government will naturally be implemented. However, benevolent government can only be given to obedient people, and will not be given to rebellious people."

Now that Yizhou is short of people, what kind of benevolent government is there?
Are those disobedient people worthy of benevolent government?

"Of course. Now Gu's thoughts are just like this. When we get to Badi, if the situation changes, it will also change accordingly."

There is no hard and fast strategy.

When we get to Badi, if the situation is not going smoothly and it is time to change, Liu Chan will naturally change.

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan and finally nodded.

"Since the prince has already made a plan, I won't go into details. If His Highness goes on an expedition, I will definitely make arrangements for the logistics of food and grass for the prince."

As Zhuge Liang, who has a full level of internal affairs, Liu Chan naturally believes in his abilities.

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Liu Chan bowed his hands to Zhuge Liang.

While the two were talking, Donggong had already arrived.

"Prime Minister, would you like to go into the East Palace and have a drink?"

"No."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "I'm waiting for my return at home. There are still matters to be dealt with in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I won't waste any time."

Iron man!
During the day, Liu Chan and Liu Chan handled nearly a hundred small and large matters together at the Chancellor's Desk, writing furiously for nearly five hours. As a result, after get off work, he still wanted to work.

Even cows and horses are not as diligent as you.

"Prime Minister, although state affairs are important, the Prime Minister's body is even more important. After I am alone, I will still rely on the Prime Minister!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang also had a smile on his face.

"I understand His Highness's wishes. Don't worry, Liang is in good health and there will be no problem."

no problem?

Then why did the stars fall in Wuzhangyuan?
Liu Chan got down from the prince's carriage and watched Zhuge Liang leaving in the prime minister's carriage, his eyes twinkling.

Zhuge Liang worked so hard that he even risked his life.

Although Liu Chan likes such a minister, how can his body bear it if this continues?

"It seems that Hua Tuo has to make a health plan for Zhuge Liang."

If I don't feed you a long life by playing Wuqinxi every day and drinking health-preserving soup every day, how can I, Liu Chan, be worthy of Zhuge Cheng's efforts to the great man?

Entered the East Palace.

In the lobby, Dong Yun took out the materials related to Badi and said:

"Your Highness is planning to plan for Badi. The Banzhen barbarians have a feud with the Linjun barbarians. The Banzhen barbarians are also known as the 'White Tigers to restore the barbarians' because they hunted white tigers. The Linjun barbarians worshiped the white tigers when they beat drums to offer sacrifices. They thought they were right. After the White Tiger. This may be the beginning of the feud between the two, and perhaps this is the most appropriate place to start."

Banzhenman is a Ba people.It is mainly distributed in the vast areas such as Yingshan, Langzhong, Bazhong and Qu County in the northeast of Yizhou.

Because the Peng people among the Ba people helped King Wu defeat Zhou and used wooden boards as marquees, they were called Bandun barbarians and received preferential treatment from the Zhou Dynasty.

Later, the Pakistani preferential treatment was cancelled.

In the Qin Dynasty, because of its merit in shooting tigers, the Qin Dynasty restored the same benefits as the Zhou Dynasty, so it was also called the White Tiger Fuyi.

Because he helped the king of Han to restore the Three Qin Dynasty, he received preferential treatment from the Han Dynasty, and he paid material (cloth) in exchange for the tax.

The Yinba people call Fu "訳".Therefore, they are also called 訳人.

This banzhenman can stand at the forefront of the times every time. It can be said that he has a bit of luck and a bit of ability.

Liu Chan laughed and said:

"The feud between the two tribes is not just a matter of White Tiger, but Qin won over the remnant people of Ba after it destroyed the two kingdoms of Ba and Shu.

The king of Ba was crippled and harmed the people of Shu at that time. It was the Banzhen barbarians who pacified him. In addition, he had the merit of shooting tigers, so Qin and the people carved stones to form an alliance. "Qin invaded the barbarians, and lost a pair of yellow dragons; when the barbarians invaded Qin, they lost a pair of clear wines." bell. '

When Sima Cuo raised his troops to attack Chu, because he was brave and good at fighting, he sent Xi people as the vanguard. After the war, the Bancheng barbarians were exempted from taxes.

In the time of Emperor Gaozu, when he went east to attack the overlord, there were Zhi people to help him. When Sima Cuo raised his troops to attack Chu, he was brave and good at fighting, so he used Zhi people as the vanguard. After the war, the Bancheng barbarians were exempted from taxes.

Later Hanzhong suffered a great famine, and a large number of hungry people went to Badi and Shu where the Mi people lived for food. After Emperor Gaozu proclaimed himself emperor, he issued an edict to exempt the Mi people who had made great contributions to the seven states of E, Luo, Pu, Zan, Du, Xi, and Gong. The taxes paid by the other surnames are only [-]% of those of the Han people. "

Liu Chan patted Dong Yun on the back and said with a smile: "How can I not know these stories?"

Dong Yun touched his head. He thought that Liu Chan didn't know the situation in Badi, but now it seems that his Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows the situation in Badi better than he does.

"It's too much for me to do this."

Liu Chan shook his head again and said, "You don't have to be alone to know the situation in Badi. You all need to know it too."

However, Zhang Bao stepped forward and said: "Your Highness wants to take advantage of the conflict between the two races. Are you going to help the Banzhen barbarians or the Linjun barbarians?"

Wu Xiang, the son of Ba family, was the first of the five surnames and was named Linjun. He "served both ghosts and gods". Linjun turned into a white tiger after his death and was worshiped by subsequent generations.

Linjunman is a branch of the Ba people.They live in Bajun and Nanjun, so they are also called Bajunman and Nanjunman.There are five surnames: Ba, Fan, Qi, Xiang, and Zheng. According to legend, they all came from Zhongli Mountain in Wuluo. Ba came from Chixue, and the other four surnames came from Heixue.

When it comes to the degree of unruliness, it is not much inferior to that of others.

"The barbarians of Linjun are weak, but the people of Lin are more Han-like. I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

Guan Xing frowned slightly and stepped forward and said: "Linjun is weak, so we have to support him to deal with the Jin people, especially since the Jin people have rebelled many times, we can't trust him easily!"

Lin Junman is indeed unruly. Even now, there are reports that Lin Junman is killing Han people and attacking Han people's villages.

But I'm not a good person either.

In the third year of Guanghe reign of Emperor Ling, the barbarians in Banzhen of Ba County rebelled and plundered the three Shu and other counties in Hanzhong. In order to solve the barbaric rebellion at the lowest cost, Emperor Ling sent the prefect Cao Qian to issue an edict of amnesty, and they all surrendered.When the world was in chaos, Danqu of Brazil moved to Yangcheban, Hanzhong, where he raided travelers and named him Yangcheba.

When Wei Wuk conquered Hanzhong, the seven surnamed Yi kings Pu Hu and the Marquis of Yi Yi led the people and Bayi to rely on Cao Cao during the battle of Hanzhong.

These people can be said to be rebellious.

Even now, Pu Hu, the Yi king of the seventh surname, and Du Yi, the Marquis of Yiyi, often cause trouble in Badi. Because of their noble status and local snakes, they cannot be suppressed by the government. This is also the reason why the problem of Badi often cannot be solved.

"Your Highness, I have something to say. Please listen carefully."

Ma Liang's younger brother Ma Su stepped forward and saluted Liu Chan. His face was quite high-spirited at the moment.

Who knew that such a heroic general would lose his street pavilion in the future and become a sinner of Shu Han?

As soon as Ma Su said these words, everyone fixed their eyes on him.

"The reason why Banzhen Man and Linjun Man rebelled was because the court tax was too high, and they had to rebel. If taxes could be reduced or reduced, then there would be no more chaos in Badi, just like the story of Emperor Ling."

Liu Chan shook his head and said: "If we reduce taxes, wouldn't it mean that Baman is trying to make Baman bigger? Now is a time of great strife, how can we delay the matter? This year, I will completely resolve the chaos in Badi!"

Now that you have reduced taxes, they will stop making trouble.

When they become stronger and see the prosperity of Han Dynasty, won't they send troops to rob it?
You leave taxes to them. Doesn’t this allow them to grow faster?

When the time comes, they will have many elite soldiers and sophisticated weapons. It will not be easy to pacify them.

"promise."

After what Liu Chan said, Dong Yun naturally wanted to be consistent with his Highness.

"It's getting late. Everyone, except those on duty, should go back and rest."

You have work to do, but you also have to live!
The subordinate officials in the East Palace now are all talented people!

Basically, whether they were Jingzhou sect, Yuancong sect, Yizhou sect, or Dongzhou scholars, the capable ones in the second generation basically entered the East Palace and became subordinate officials.

In addition, he was a child from a poor family who came from a martial arts hall.

It can be said that there are many talents.

After Liu Bei became emperor, their official positions naturally rose to a higher level.

From the original royal official, he became the world official.

From being an official in the prince's palace to a prince, he became an official in the east palace of the crown prince.

He himself has taken a step forward in his personality.

Liu Chan was about to go to the mansion to rest, but Fei Yi, who was also a model worker, came forward with a document.

"Your Highness, a lot of copper and iron ores have been discovered in Nanzhong, but mining them is not a simple matter. Li Hui asked your Highness to allocate three thousand slaves to mine the copper and iron ores."

Liu Chan was stunned for a moment and asked: "Aren't there many barbarians south of the four counties of Nanzhong? They are so close, why are you afraid that you won't be able to find slaves?"

Fei Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Tens of thousands of people are hunting slaves in the south of Nanzhong. The first priority of the slaves they get is to supply Chengdu. Where can I get a few from the mines? Now His Highness has to mine copper to make money and refine it. Sulfur, if you want to produce it, you have to put it in."

Hearing this, Liu Chan frowned slightly.

Under Qing Xuzi's sleeplessness and forgetfulness of food, the power of gunpowder increased a lot. Although it was not as powerful as later generations, it was enough to destroy the city.

This is also Liu Chan's biggest reliance on pacifying Badi.

But now it seems that mass production of gunpowder is not that easy.

The slave business in Chengdu was so booming that even Li Hui, who was living in Nanzhong, couldn't find anyone to mine the mines.

Notice
Mining a mine is not a simple matter.

Liu Chan already knew this after consulting relevant personnel.

In this era, mining, even open-pit copper mines, was not as simple as wielding a hoe and pickaxe to dig out the ore as he had imagined before.

How were mines mined in later generations?

Blow it up first, and then drive in with the large machinery.

But in this era, there are no explosives or such large equipment.

Qing Xuzi's improved gunpowder can only blow open city gates. There is still a long way to go before it can reach the level of mountains.

nowadays.

The only way to conquer those solid mines is to burn the mountains.

Using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the rock wall is baked with firewood continuously for two or three days, and then the rock wall cools down.Ore will naturally peel off under the rules of physics.

This is just open pit mining of ore.

If the veins are buried deep underground, human lives will be needed to fill them.

A miner working in a mine can only live up to 30 years...

For example, in the Chu State's Tonglushan Mine during the Spring and Autumn Period, countless miners died in the mines.

This is also the reason why it takes tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of people to mine a copper mine.

If the equipment is not good, then human lives can only be used to fill the gap.

"If this is the case, then an edict is issued: Anyone who catches slaves in Nanzhong and catches five slaves must pay one to the government as slave tax. If anyone fails to pay, his qualifications to catch slaves in Nanzhong will be revoked and he will be fined a hundred Thousands of dollars!”

Now that Liu Chan has not gone to Badi, the shortage of slaves in Chengdu will be difficult to satisfy for a while.

If this is the case, then the slave catching team in Nanzhong will suffer.

In fact, it is not bitter.

They can now make tens of thousands of dollars selling a slave, which is already a profit of [-] to [-]%.

No need to pay tax yet?
If they capture five slaves and hand one slave over to the government, they will actually make a profit, and a big profit at that.

It’s just not as profitable as before.

Fei Yi thought for a moment and nodded immediately.

"With this method, Li Hui's problem should be solved."

Most of the slave-catching teams in Nanzhong were organized by nobles. In order to leave a good impression on Liu Chan, they did not dare to disobey Liu Chan's orders.

of course
Even if there is disobedience, just kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Liu Chan counts the time now.

Spring plowing has ended. Repairing official roads and dredging water conservancy is a long-term task. Now that Zhuge Liang is in charge, there is no problem at all.

After Liu Bei became emperor, after a month or two of stability, everyone adapted to the new changes.

It's time to go to Badi and level the Badi barbarians.

Whether it is the fields on the Chengdu plain, road construction, water canal dredging, or mining.

All need population.

At this stage, these people can only be plundered from Badi!
