Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 726 Jiangnan Road (2)

Wu Gang summed up the reasons for the lack of progress. First of all, the Shanyue people believed that they had lived here for generations and owned the land. It was the Han people who drove them away from the land after they came, making them lose their life support, and massacred the Shanyue people. The population plummeted.Secondly, the Shanyue people live together in a group, without restraint, and are unwilling to be ruled by the Han people, and the leaders of each ethnic group exaggerate the clan members because they have lost power.

Zhou Xin was a little helpless, and faintly moved to ask his father for advice.My father put himself here just to practice himself, and to ask for advice when encountering difficulties, that's not right!Is it possible that only swords, guns and whips can subdue the Shanyue people?Zhou Xin believes that Pei Yuanshao can do it, but this will not only increase the killing, but also consume money, food, and time, which is extremely detrimental to the construction of Jiangnan.

After some premeditation with Wu Gang and Zhou Xi, Zhou Xin decided to use a three-pronged approach:

Gain the favor of Shan Yue people.If the dialogue fails, you can talk about it if you have something to say, and discuss it if you have something to do, so as to downplay the conflict.First, he promised the Shanyue people that as long as the Shanyue people did not harass the Han people, they would never send troops to fight.The two sides are at peace for the time being, and the Shanyue people should be able to accept it.In this way, the states and counties can develop production according to the plan, and soldiers can farm.Then give gifts to the Shanyue people. The gifts are not gold and silver treasures, but wine and tea. The Shanyue people should not refuse them. As long as they are addicted to drinking, there will be demand, and there will be exchange if there is demand, and there will be exchange if there is exchange.A group of teachers and students were transferred from the medical school to provide free diagnosis and treatment for Shanyue people.

Raise the status of Shan Yue people.Jiangnan Road is equal regardless of race, and Han people are not allowed to discriminate against foreigners. Some officials from Jiangbei are encouraged to intermarry with Shanyue people, and a group of brave men are recruited from among the Shanyue people who belong to them to serve as corps leaders and post chiefs in the army, and pay military salaries .In the military competition, Pei Yuanshao should properly let some Shanyue people stand out, and then reward them heavily.Take a three-day bath every month, and you are allowed to use military pay and rewards to buy goods locally and send them home.

Divide the Shanyue people and defeat them all.Starting with the pro-Han leader, the Shanyue people saw the benefits of associating with the Han people, and also saw the threat of pro-Han tribal power rising to other tribes, so they scrambled to attach themselves to the big Han.

Zhou Xin made another astonishing move: to allow Tianshi Taoism to preach in Jiangnan Road, the prerequisite is that he does not involve in military affairs, does not collect money, persuades people to do good, and is happy to help others.In addition, Zhou Xin set aside five dojos for Tianshi Dao, but all of them are adjacent to Shanyue without exception.He wants to rely on the power of religion to infiltrate the Shanyue people, and the efficacy of faith is far greater than whips and honey.

Time, what Zhou Xin needs most is time.He roughly estimated that it would take at least three years to put Jiangnan Road on the right track.Talent is undoubtedly the most lacking, but unfortunately only Zhuge Jin left his youngest son, but all those who had some fame and prestige were taken away by Yu Fan. Although there were fewer constraints, there were fewer minions.

There are no leftovers?This is impossible!Zhou Xin issued a decree, and in March of the following year, there will be competitions for money, agriculture, commerce, industry, and calculation in each county. The winners will participate in the competition held in Wu County in June. Anyone with a skill can participate. There are many prizes and rewards. .Naturally, there is no need for Zhou Xin to pay for this competition. The chamber of commerce finds a major business opportunity and sponsors it exclusively. The only condition is that the chamber of commerce has the priority to purchase special talents and utensils.Zhou Xin simply handed it over to the chamber of commerce for sponsorship, with Su Shuang in charge of supervision.

All kinds of government orders were sent from Wu County to other counties like snowflakes. Both the officials and the people in Jiangnan Road were full of curiosity and suspicion, especially the Shanyue people could not believe that the Han people would coexist peacefully with them.Years of resistance made them both hate and fear the Han people, but the first group of Shanyue people who had nowhere to go and were forced to join the army received military pay, bought salt, iron pots, and clothes and took them home. The poor suddenly became rich, and many people became jealous. Some leaders began to send a few confidantes to the army, and exchanged the furs and medicinal materials in their hands with the Chamber of Commerce. Han Chinese contacts.

But the tribes that interacted with the Han people began to get rid of poverty slowly, and the closed tribes became poorer and poorer. The people in the mountains wanted to obtain daily necessities, and those outside the mountains wanted to hunt and gather herbs in exchange for better commodities. The letter ordered this to be an internal matter of the clan and not to intervene.

Outside the mountains, most of the young and strong joined the army, and the tribe was unable to protect itself, so they began to ask Zhou Xin for help, and the young and strong who joined the army began to make troubles and asked to go home to protect the tribe.Wu Gang sent envoys to negotiate with the mountain people, either to go out of the mountains and communicate with the Han people, or to encircle and suppress them with a large army.

The Shanyue people didn't care about Zhou Xin's warning.Pei Yuanshao took the surrendered Shanyue soldiers as his guide, and broke through several Ganzhou tribes in a month. A few of the remaining tribes fled into the deep mountains, and most of them walked out of the mountains. Zhou Xin kept his promise and still gave him the treatment he had given before.The mountains of Minzhou are more stubborn than those of Ganzhou. Zhou Xin ordered Liao Hua to build a city, guard the vital points, and block them in the mountains.

Pei Yuanshao was very puzzled by this, and Wu Gang explained with a smile that there are many people in Minzhou Shanyue and few Han people. It is unwise to wipe them out at this time.Pei Yuanshao was skeptical about this. What he was most worried about was that Sun Quan would turn against the water, and Cao Pi would send troops south and waste his troops on the Shanyue people. What about the defense of Jiangnan Road? Jiangnan Road has only 5 troops, and [-] of them are recruited. Shan Yue people.

Zhou Xin laughed and said: "Sun Quan was able to accept the title of king, I'm afraid he had thought it over a long time ago, and he would not dare to make Jiangnan's idea again if he had a hundred courage. Attaching to the big man is his most sensible way out. As for Cao Pi, it is more Nothing to worry about, I'm just afraid that he won't come. General Xingba's Yangtze River Navy is in Xiakou, and he will be defeated if he dares to invade the south with a large army. Looking south from head to tail."

The economic envoy Zhang Shuang used a month to formulate an outline for economic development. He focused on agriculture and handicrafts in Jiangnan Road.Agriculture focuses on fishing, tea, rice, and silk; handicrafts include bamboo, textiles, and rice wine. After some investigation, Yangzhou is suitable for silk, textiles, and rice wine, Ganzhou is suitable for bamboo, and Minzhou is suitable for tea. Rice can be widely planted in the three states. The same is true for fisheries.Zhou Xin sent the outline to the counties, only for guidance and not for force.

In the first month of [-], the Jiangnan Branch of the Dahan Bank and the Jiangnan Branch of the Dahan College were established one after another. Zhou Xin ordered to stop the circulation of old coins and use the new coins after one year; the Jiangnan Branch opened a school in the residence of Shanyue and started teaching.

The only policy that Zhou Xin proposed to Zhou Cang from the beginning to the end was not to pay taxes to the court within three years, but to be controlled by Jiangnan Dao. Zhou Cang's answer made him dumbfounded.
