Chapter 2792: Indigenous people have not made any progress in a century, and they are finally pardoned after exile.
That's right, Liu Bei is also considering a new path.
"You don't have to be too humble, so that you can't destroy your morale!" Guan Yu said in a deep voice, "There was no hero coming to Zhuya some time ago, which means that your brother's reputation is growing..."
Liu Bei stroked his beard, "Is this matter? Haha, these people may not be all good intentions."
Zhang Fei glared, "Brother, do you mean these people have no plans? Then just kill them!"
Liu Bei still smiled gently, "Why don't, let's talk about it. As long as we are not anxious or confused, we are others who are anxious and confused..."
Unlike Sun Quan, who was eager to fight the Northern Expedition, Liu Bei, who was kicked out of the finals by Fei Qian, did not have any reluctance to the Central Plains in his heart, but knew his own strength limitations, so he had to look away.
Among the three heroes of the Three Kingdoms in history, Liu Da'er is the one who knows the current affairs. As the saying goes, you can stretch and bend, you can be big and small, you can be soft and hard...
Well, there seems to be something wrong... I don't care, just have to say the meaning is right.
Therefore, what Liu Bei considered after he stood firm in Jiaozhi was not to immediately counterattack Sichuan or Sichuan or the Central Plains, but to accumulate strength.
This is almost a kind of instinct of Liu Bei, or the experience and lessons he learned in his life.
Without strength, even speaking is like farting, you can't hear it at all when you are farther away, and if you are closer, you are annoying.
"The people in Zhuya are mostly pirates..." Liu Bei smiled, "But it doesn't matter. Anyone who can be used for me... pirates are nothing. We also gathered the Yellow Turban thieves back then, right? I'm afraid these guys have bad intentions..."
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and hummed hard.
Liu Bei smiled, "But, there may be something we want in the Zhu Cliff..."
Zhang Fei scratched his head and said, "What can there be in that ghost place? I think the people on the zodiac side are as poor as ghosts. Could it be that Zhuyao can be so good?"
Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "This is really different. Is it a big deal...?"
Liu Bei turned around slightly, looked at the direction of the village in the distance, and then smiled and said, "Unless it is the person who is trying to show weakness... Otherwise, what do you think about the person who is occupying the person?"
Guan Yu shook his head.
Zhang Fei said a few words, "Native chickens and tiles."
『Hahahahaha…』 Liu Bei laughed and sighed leisurely, 『Sunnan, Rizhinan… Do you know why this place is called Rinan?』
Zhang Fei shook his head.
Liu Bei pointed to the sun in the sky and said, "This place is in the south during the year, so it is called Sun South."
The middle of the year is summer.
Guan Yu looked up at the sun and nodded, "So that's it."
Liu Bei still smiled, "I know when this name came into existence? During the time of Xiaowu, it was probably Yuan Ding or Yuan Feng period. At that time, Emperor Xiaowu conquered a lot of places, so he changed from a tripod to a Feng..."
"Oh, then?" Zhang Fei asked, obviously he was still quite interested in these things.
Liu Bei thought about it, "How did I write it specifically, I forgot... But in my impression, it was like this when the Yuanding Yuanfeng was... "Man is like a beast, no difference between old and young"... Think about it, after so many years, these people... haha... they still look like this..."
"According to legend, the land in the south of the sun has known that it has been more than 600 years. The farming method is actually no different from the Spring and Autumn Period. It is all about slashing with fire, but the ripening of the rice seeds and grains are ripe quickly. You also know this..." Liu Bei said, "In July, fire can be made, and in October, there are fires in December, and then when the next April is ripe, this is the two ripe places mentioned by the cavalry...
"You saw such a good piece of land too..." Liu Bei shook his head and sighed, "In the past few hundred years, nothing has changed... It can be seen that these people occupying people... Humph...
Guan Yu nodded and said, "Brother insisted on coming in person to meet the leader of the zombie. It turned out that it was to see the realities of the zombie?"
Liu Bei nodded and said, "This is one of the purposes. The cavalry has words. Even if the language is not clear and the customs are different, as long as it can be called "people", it can be educated, otherwise..."
The "person" mentioned by Liu Bei is of course not just the concept of human beings in terms of physiology.
Guan Yu stroked his long beard and nodded, "I understand."
"Ah? What do you understand?" Zhang Fei glared wide, "Brother, second brother, what are you talking about?"
Liu Bei laughed, "Second brother, tell me about it with the third brother."
Guan Yu nodded slightly, then glanced at Zhang Fei with a little disdain, "It can only be used to occupy people, and it is difficult to achieve any results in a short period of time... There has been no decent change for hundreds of years, so it is naturally not worth our spending much energy and time... On the contrary, people in the Zhujing Land may be more suitable for us...
"Yes. Zhuya was also called wild and rude at that time. Now if you look at it, the gap is huge... People from Zhuya can take a boat to us, and then these occupying people are just shrouded in the mountains..." Liu Bei pointed to the land on both sides of the road and said, "I have seen these lands. They are actually very suitable for farming, but are they occupied by people... Think about it, there are only a few cultivated land, and there are no agricultural tools... According to the people from Zhuya, there are millions of arable land within Zhuya... This number may be somewhat watery, but no matter how much, it is more than these occupying people... With farmland, people can set it down and pass on the inheritance..."
"What my brother said is that with arable land, we can feed more people..." Guan Yu added, "We want to rebuild counties, repair water conservancy, and build ships in the Jiuzhen Sunnan area of Jiaozhi, and require more manpower. If there is not enough food, we cannot guarantee that these projects can proceed smoothly... This is a complicated matter. We cannot expect that these people will not even occupy people for clothes and understand such cumbersome affairs..."
Liu Bei sighed: "This is also something I am worried about... In addition to recruiting personnel, we must also pay attention to arrangements, allocate money, grain and equipment, and place epidemic prevention and resettlement. These are all things that need to be solved... The conditions in the Zhujing Land will be relatively better..."
Simply put, even when facing the same indigenous people, the degree of Chineseization of Zhuya will be a little higher than that of Sunan. There is something relatively easier to communicate with. There will be no situation like the current situation of talking to the people who are talking to the people and playing the piano with the cow.
"This time I came here not just to occupy people..." Liu Bei said, "It's also for the treasure..."
『Baby?』 Zhang Fei looked around and looked, 『Apart from wood, there are bugs...』
"There are also Han people." Liu Bei said slowly, and his smile also closed. "Yes, more special Han people..."
During the Western Han Dynasty, there were already counties here, but later the national strength was insufficient, and the Nine Trunks in the South of the Sun had gained and lost several times. By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, before Liu Bei arrived, Shi Xie and others curled up in the Hepu area of Jiaozhi and rarely developed southward.
But isn’t it said that in Jiuzhen Rinan, there are only natives and no Han people?
That's not the case.
Liu Bei knew that this land was very fertile. If it could be managed well, the future would be limitless. However, because of his population, he could only be envious of this land at the moment. He had more advanced methods and better tools in his hands, but he could still only carry out limited development. At present, Liu Bei lacked people everywhere, whether it was plowing fields, mining, or drying salt and building ships, he really wanted to split a person into two parts...
Not only is there a lack of labor, but Liu Bei also does not have many officials at the middle level.
Craftsmen are also scarce.
All of this made Liu Bei have the will but not the strength.
Although some schools were initially established to transform the people who escaped from the Central Plains and the indigenous people with higher levels of sinicization into craftsmen as much as possible and become household registrations under Liu Bei's rule, the results were not fast and the gap was still obvious.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, wars in the Central Plains have frequently started, and people have fled south. Jiaozhi is vast and sparsely populated, and most areas are still in a wilderness. At that time, the children of the gentry were willing to join the Shixie family and could find Shixie to eat and drink. Other ordinary people, or those who were unwilling to find Shixie, hid in the mountains, opened up a piece of cultivated land, planted some food, and were self-sufficient. They could also survive and avoid military disasters.
Only with population can someone have strength.
Shi Xie claimed that he had 80,000 people, and some said that he had 100,000 soldiers and 30,000 elite soldiers.
Of course, these are all bragging between the Shixie clan.
According to Liu Bei's own statistics, Shi Xie's subordinates excluded the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, at most, there were 10,000 to 20,000 regular soldiers. These soldiers may be able to dominate the king in the Jiaozhi area, but once they disperse to the southern part of Jiuzhen, it is obviously not enough, let alone participate in the battle of the Central Plains. Therefore, Jiaozhi Shi Xie always tried to be calm until Liu Bei came.
If the population is insufficient, there will be no enough food and grass. If there is not enough food and grass, there will be no way to feed more soldiers. So in the final analysis, if you want to develop, it is a population problem.
Now, in addition to using good conditions to attract barbarians in the mountains, refugees come out to settle down and increase their household registration, Liu Bei can only use the advantages of technology to make up for the problem of population shortage. However, the power of technology is limited, especially for population. No matter how much technology Liu Bei has, it can only be exhausted. Those who are about to be pregnant for ten months still have to be pregnant for ten months. What technology can be used to replace the growth process of more than ten years?
Liu Bei originally brought some basic officials, but now he has basically become a landlord. In addition to handling government affairs, these people also have to serve as the head of the school, technical consultant, local magistrate and other positions. It was quite reasonable in the early stages of the occupation, but as time went on, these people inevitably had various problems.
Some people are dedicated to their responsibilities and then they are exhausted...
Some people, when they see others half dead, are scared or tired, they will naturally relax.
This is not an adjective, it is really "half-dead".
If you are not accustomed to the environment and have been exhausted for a long time, once you get sick, "half-death" is considered to be God's eyes open.
Fortunately, Liu Bei is still kind, or in other words, he has at least preserved some kindness. Unlike the capitalists in later capitalist countries, he naturally did not advocate anything that 996 is a blessing...
Even if Liu Bei felt a little anxious in his heart. Time is unforgivable, he can wait for one year, two years, or three years, but if he had to wait for the next generation to come out, Liu Bei might have lost all his glory and become a staggering old man who can't walk.
So Liu Bei came to Rinan because there was a very special group of Han people in Rinan.
Those Han people who were exiled.
During the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the location of Jiaozhi was generally awkward. He was considered a great man, but he was often abandoned outside the so-called "orthodox" Han Dynasty. If the entire Han Dynasty was compared to a home yard, then the Central Plains was the hall hall, and Jiaozhi was not even a side room, and at most it was just a garbage dump in the corner of the yard.
That's right, this is the place where the big man threw away the "trash".
Since the Western Han Dynasty, it seems that this place has become a place for the emperor to deal with some "garbage". This is true for the Western Han Dynasty, and the Eastern Han Dynasty is the same. Not only ordinary families were exiled here, but even the royal relatives were not spared. For example, it was the Yin family, yes, it was the Yin family of Emperor Guangwu. I remember when Emperor Guangwu was a poor boy...
At first, the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty would throw these people into the Hepu area in Jiaozhi. Then, these areas were developed and prosperous and their living conditions were relatively better. The emperor felt unhappy and said that it would not be enjoyable to let these political prisoners go to Hepu area in Jiaozhi. So he swayed his arms and threw the "trash" away.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the place where he was sent was basically the South.
Simply put, it is a county in Rinan County, Bijing County. The sun is above the head and the scenery is below, so it is called Bijing.
Liu Bei and his party arrived in Bijing County.
Among Bijing County, the most famous "political prisoner" is the Dou family who was thrown out by Emperor Xiaoling.
In the first year of Jianning, Empress Dowager Dou was in power. His father Dou Wu relied on the Grand Tutor Chen Fan to preside over the government. Chen Fan used a large number of scholars who were punished during the first party and bribery disaster. The two reached an agreement soon afterwards and conspired to eradicate the eunuchs. As a result, the news leaked. The eunuchs gathered urgently and took blood to form an alliance, but they only took one night to get everything done...
Then the entire Dou family and Chen family's relatives were exiled to Bijing.
In addition to meeting with the leader of the Zhanren Cave National Congress this time, Liu Bei also came for the descendants of the Dou family and Chen family.
Just like many political prisoners in later generations would have a small room, the descendants of the exiled Dou and Chen family in Bijing cannot be said to have a good life, but it is not too miserable. After all, Dou Wu and Chen Fan were also famous people back then. As losers in the struggle with the eunuch who had been cut into pieces, they would also be taken care of by others in secret...
Liu Bei got off his horse and looked around.
Perhaps because they were both exiled, the Dou family and the Chen family gathered together to keep warm, and now they live in the same manor. Although they are in the south of the sun, the courtyards where the Dou family and the Chen family live still have the obvious style of the Han Dynasty manor.
Liu Bei looked at the white walls, blue bricks and tiles, nodded slightly, and asked his personal guard to come forward and call the door.
"The royal relative of the Han Dynasty, the left general, the governor of Jiaozhou, and the envoy Liu came here!"
The doorman said clearly that I don’t remember...
Uh, I went to the wrong set, do it again.
A middle-aged man came out of the door and bowed to Liu Bei with courtesy, "It is not convenient to see the envoy after the sinner. I hope the envoy will be forgiven."
The county magistrate of Jing County was a little embarrassed and jumped out. While winking the middle-aged man, he scolded: "Irrespectful! Envoy Liu is the royal relative of the Han Dynasty. He led the emperor to assassinate the imperial emperor. Now he is coming to the court. How can you refuse him rudely?"
In fact, it was the command of the cavalry, but this was not the key, and Liu Bei did not want to explain it specifically.
The Chen family of Dou was exiled to Bijing County, Rinan. It would definitely not be as comfortable as the people from the Northeastern people traveled to Sanya and Southeast Asia to avoid winter. From the first year of Jianning to the present, even Empress Dowager Dou's mother could not move to her coffin and return to her hometown after she died. It would be strange if her soul fell into this place. But the meaning of Bijing County Magistrate was very clear. Those things were the previous things, and if you want to complain, you can only resent the eunuchs at that time. They have nothing to do with Liu Bei, not to mention that Liu Bei is still a big boss in Jiaozhou, and the county magistrate is better to take charge now!
The middle-aged man was silent and did not speak. He remembered how he came all the way back then, from being rich and frugal, suddenly turned into a prisoner overnight, and then wandered to the south of the country, and then how hard it was to rebuild the current manor brick by brick. How could the hardships in this mean that he could let go of it?
Zhang Fei glared, his eyebrows stood up and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Guan Yu, and then turned his head aside in anger.
Liu Bei sighed slightly, then signaled to the guard beside him. The guard stepped forward, untied a bag on his back, then took out a sealed edict with a bamboo tube, and handed it to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei took a step forward, held the imperial edict and looked at the middle-aged man, "What do you call me?"
『…』The middle-aged man looked at Liu Bei with a gentle smile, was silent for a while, and bowed his head and replied, "In the son of the Dou family, his name is humble and not worth asking for it."
This is to indicate that his name is not worth mentioning, but does the Dou family name not mean that no one can despise? Liu Bei nodded, and his smile remained unchanged. "Well, since it is a little inconvenient, I don't force it... but this edict for pardoning Dou family Chen's crime, but I don't know...
The middle-aged man suddenly looked up and shouted, "What?!"
Liu Bei still smiled gently and gave the imperial edict to the middle-aged man a little, "Court edict, pardon..."
Before Liu Bei finished speaking, the middle-aged man rushed forward, as if he wanted to take the imperial edict. He realized that something was wrong, so he knelt down on the ground with a thud and knocked on the ground with his head. There was a whimpering sound in his voice, "Caomin... Dou... Wuwu... receive the imperial edict..."
