The next day, Zhu Ping'an ordered people to buy ten thousand stones of grain and grass, ten cattle, one hundred piglets and five hundred chickens from the market. He called Liu Dadao and others, and brought Liu Dianli and five
More than ten government officials, pulled by carriages, rushed to the Wuxi Mountain area again.
"County Lord, aren't there a few of us? Yesterday, Wuxi Miao didn't know our reality. Today, I'm afraid they have already realized it. If Wuxi Miao turns against us, how can we protect the County Lord?"
Liu Dianli reminded Zhu Ping'an more than once on the road that he was still worried about Wuxi Miao.
People who are not from my race must have different minds. Liu Dianli has always been worried about this.
"Liu Dianli, please be at ease. Yesterday they didn't dare, and today they certainly don't dare. What they are afraid of is not me or the 50,000-strong army, but the court behind us. Besides, we fought with them 30,000 shi yesterday.
Food and grass, Wuxi seedlings have no reason to rebel anymore." Zhu Pingan explained to Liu Dianli.
"Your Majesty, we already gave them 30,000 shi of grain and grass yesterday, why do we need to give them 10,000 shi of grain and so many piglets and chickens today? Isn't it a bit too much to be kind?"
Liu Dianli asked in confusion.
"Yesterday I gave them food and grass to quell the rebellion. Today I want to help them as a whole and win a hundred years of peace. The Wuxi Miao people live in Wuxi Mountain. There are more than ten tribes of different sizes, with about 70,000 to 80,000 people. Such a large population
, if it can be merged into our Jingnan, the population of our Jingnan will nearly double out of thin air. The taxes collected every year will far exceed the gifts today." Zhu Pingan looked far into the distance and said leisurely.
"How to protect their entire clan?" Liu Dianli asked again.
"Yesterday I communicated with the chieftains of Wuxi Miao and learned that they are quite envious of the farming life of the Han people. Because they live in the deep mountains, make a living by hunting and gathering, and rely on the sky for food, and their lives are difficult...I
The Han people guard their fields, men farm and women weave, and their lives are prosperous, which is countless times better than theirs. Yesterday, I gave them thousands of acres of wasteland, both as a favor and as a test. They heard that I gave them thousands of acres of wasteland.
, the excitement is palpable. Today I am with them forage, cattle, piglets, and chickens, to speed up their move out of the Wuxi Mountains."
"Not only that, I also allocated five miles of land for them next to thousands of acres of wasteland, and set up Wuxi Town to allow them to settle. The mayor of Wuxi Town allowed them to choose Wuxi seedlings and report to the county government.
appointment."
Zhu Pingan told Liu Dianli his plans and plans while walking on the road.
Zhu Ping'an had a premonition that he would soon go to Zhejiang to be appointed as the Procurator-General, Si Qian, so he explained the whole story to Liu Dianli. After the new county magistrate took office, Liu Dianli and others would relay the matter.
"Your Majesty, will this make the Wuxi seedlings grow bigger?" Liu Dianli asked worriedly.
"Haha, the reason why the Wuxi Miao are difficult to deal with and become one of the five major dangers in Jingnan is because they live in the mountains and occupy a favorable geographical location. Once they rebel, it is inconvenient for the government to conquer them. If they can defeat them, they will attack them. If they cannot defeat them, they will go deep into the mountains.
...If they move out of the mountainous area and live in the town, they will no longer have the geographical advantage. Even if they rebel, it will not become a climate. Which town have you seen that dares to rebel?! Besides, the Miaohe people in Wuxi are not the same.
There are 50,000 people, and there are tens of millions of Chinese Han people. When the Wuxi Miao people moved to Wuxi Town, they must have exchanges with the Han people, and intermarriage is inevitable. After a few years, the Wuxi Miao people were sinicized by us Han people, and from then on
Wuxi seedlings are no longer a problem. In this way, with only ten thousand stones of grain, ten cattle, one hundred piglets, and five hundred chickens, you can get 70,000 taxpayers and hundreds of years of peace. Liu Dianli, you still have
Do you think the favor is too much?!"
Zhu Pingan looked at Liu Dianli with a smile and asked meaningfully.
"The county magistrate is far-sighted and far-sighted, and I am ashamed of my humble position." Liu Dianli said with sincere admiration and admiration.
Zhu Ping'an and his party soon arrived in Wuxi Mountain area.
"Greetings, my lord."
When Mrs. Yilan heard about Zhu Ping'an's arrival, she led a group of Wuxi Miao people, big and small, to come to greet him from a distance.
"Chieftain, leaders, please get up quickly." Zhu Ping'an stepped forward and offered help with a smile.
"Thank you, sir." Mrs. Yilan stood up.
"Sir, this is..." Mrs. Yilan and others couldn't help but be curious when they saw the carts of grain and grass, ten strong cattle, and countless piglets and chickens behind Zhu Pingan.
It’s not given to us, right?!
Mrs. Yilan and other big-headed people took a deep breath in disbelief and excitement.
"Yesterday I worked with you on thousands of acres of wasteland. After I returned home, I thought about how you would be able to farm without oxen. No, today I have evened out ten oxen from the county and given them to you so that you can reclaim the wasteland. Don't miss the farming season.
.These ten thousand stones of grain and grass are given to you to store as agricultural seeds. As for these one hundred piglets and five hundred chickens, they are given to you to breed in captivity."
Zhu Pingan said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is so considerate of our Wuxi Miao people. I, the Wuxi Miao, have nothing to repay. I will remember your great kindness from generation to generation and will go through fire and water for you without any hesitation..." Although Mrs. Yilan and others had already guessed
Yes, but when I heard Zhu Ping'an say it with my own ears, I still couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude and thank you endlessly.
"Please get up, please get up quickly." Zhu Pingan stepped forward and offered help.
Mrs. Yilan and others warmly invited Zhu Ping'an and others to enter the camp and received them with the highest standards of Wuxi Miao.
"I have considered that you have lived in remote mountains and have difficult conditions, and are far away from the fields assigned to you, making it inconvenient to farm. Therefore, I plan to set aside a five-mile radius of land next to the fields assigned to you and set up Wuxi Town.
You have lived here for generations, and the mayor of Wuxi Town will be selected by you Wuxi Miao and then reported to the county government for formal appointment by the county government. The mayors of Wuxi Town will also be selected in this way for generations to come."
Zhu Pingan suggested to Mrs. Yilan at the banquet.
"Is that true?!" Mrs. Yilan and the big and small heads at the banquet heard this and were very excited.
No one wants to live in the deep mountains and old forests, where the mountain roads are difficult to navigate, transportation is inconvenient, life is difficult for hunting and gathering, snakes, rats, beasts, and mosquito bites... Who wants to live such a life?
They have wanted to live on the plains for generations, and many generations of rebellions have this reason.
According to their ancestral legend, Wuxi Miao originated from the plains, where the land is fertile, there are seas, rivers and rice fields. There they have no worries about food and drink, and there are no threats from wild beasts... It was just in the war years.
They were defeated and were driven into Wuxi Mountain...
They dream of living in the plains.
Now after listening to Zhu Pingan's words, everyone is moved to tears.
This girl Butterfly has such a deep prejudice against Zhu Pingan, but after listening to Zhu Pingan's words, she took the initiative to come over to pour wine and serve dishes for Zhu Pingan without Mrs. Yilan's instigation.
The man is affectionate and the concubine is interested, so naturally they hit it off! Smooth, extremely smooth!
Zhu Ping'an's trip couldn't be more smooth. Not only did he completely solve the hidden dangers of Wuxi Miao, but he also successfully negotiated the cooperation with Wuxi Miao on the secret method of creating medicine with a knife. In fact, Mrs. Yilan and the others didn't know anything about the secret method of creating medicine with a knife.
They thought that the secret method of knife wound medicine was just a local way to treat wounds and was worthless. When they heard Zhu Pingan mentioned the secret method of knife wound medicine, they took the initiative to present the formula and production method. However, Zhu Pingan knew the secret method well.
The preciousness of Dao Chuang Yao did not take advantage of them and keep the secret recipe as their own, but negotiated cooperation with them. A win-win situation was the best choice.
