Chapter 5511: Taking root and becoming a barbarian
The black robe gritted his teeth and said: "What the ancestor said makes sense. To conquer people's hearts, you need to use both kindness and power. Killing blindly or indulgence without principles will not truly convince people. Like the White Wolf tribe, most of them
Most of the tribal warriors who went on the expedition with Sha Qianmo will not be able to come back, but those who come back will also
They are veterans who have experienced battles for a long time. They are far stronger than ordinary barbarians from the Lingnan tribe. If these people are directly pardoned, they will take advantage of the decline in the power of the imperial court and rebel again in the future, because they think they are soldiers and horses of the imperial court.
If we cannot defeat them or eliminate them, we will appease and pardon them."
"But if a large army presses the border, and all other tribes and warriors and the Beifu Army surround you, a fight will definitely destroy the entire clan. In this case, surrender is a choice made out of fear and complete surrender.
Like Meng Huo, he will not dare to rebel again in the future. I have to say that this is the best way to make the barbarians fear power and be virtuous. But..."
Having said this, Heipao raised his eyebrows, touched his goatee, and said: "It may not be too difficult to subdue the barbarian tribes by force, but here in Guangzhou, there is no land output. Most of the time, the barbarian tribes
It is also impossible to surrender to the king and organize the people into households. They can only let their leaders and chiefs manage it on their behalf. It would be good if they do not rebel. Yes.
In the final analysis, the governance of Guangzhou mainly depends on the governance of the powerful Han families. These powerful families once appreciated Wu Yinzhi's kindness, but during the years when Tianshi Dao occupied Guangzhou, they turned to Tianshi Dao.
Allegiance, and with the connivance and instigation of Tianshi Tao, these powerful families have become Bengali in terms of corruption."
"In order to expand the army and increase military expenditures, Tianshi Dao completely entrusted the overseas trade and rare treasures that came ashore through Guangzhou to these powerful Han people. Their greed was greater than ever before.
Excessively, most of the trade income went into their own pockets, and less than 30% was given to Tianshi Taoism.
It is used for military expenses, that is, Tianshi Dao just wants to rebel and expand its army, so they don’t care about it. Now, Tianshi Dao is going to be finished. In the future, Guangzhou’s governance and income will still mainly rely on these overseas trades. If Wu Yinzhi is like last time
If we use the anti-corruption storm as an excuse to kill them, these aristocratic families in Guangzhou and Lingnan will probably be uprooted."
The ancestor smiled slightly: "Then are these powerful clans fools? When Tianshi Dao was still there, they could plunder and even embezzle trade goods. Will they continue to do so when Guangzhou returns to the government's rule?"
The black robe curled up his lips and said: "I'm afraid they are not willing to spit out the fat in their stomachs. Wu Yinzhi didn't bring any children from aristocratic families as his staff this time. He can't rule the whole of Guangzhou by himself. He had a son before.
Help. There are also nephews and nephews from other aristocratic families who come to help.
Officer, there is none this time. Moreover, there is another problem. After Lu Xun and the others go to sea, they have nowhere to go for the time being. They may turn to pirates and rob overseas merchant ships coming to Guangzhou. If they really do this
, I’m afraid the blow to Guangzhou’s trade will be devastating.”
The ancestor nodded: "It is indeed possible. The main overseas traders who come to Guangzhou are from the South China Sea. Maritime traders from Linyi, Zhenla, Srivijaya and other Southeast Asian countries. However, in Tianshi Dao,
When they were in power, they had a good relationship with these maritime merchants. Even if they became pirates, they probably wouldn't kill them.
They will kill all the goods and only take part of the goods as military supplies. The merchant fleet can still be released. Moreover, Tianshi Dao will not always float on the sea. There will always be a time to find a new place as a base. It turns out that
Didn't you discuss it and let them go to Linyi or Jiaozhou to build a new territory?"
The black robe nodded: "This will take some time. However, even if these maritime merchants' goods arrive in Guangzhou and powerful families control the ports of commerce and shipping, Wu Yinzhi will not be able to fight against corruption as he did before.
, the ruling power of Guangzhou will still essentially fall into the hands of the local powerful families. You see, can we find a new agent from these powerful families, and through this person in the future?
What about actual control of Guangzhou?”
The ancestor shook his head: "Don't think so, it is absolutely impossible. According to the news I heard, Liu Yu will use Guangzhou as the main place to resettle the children of the aristocratic family in the future, and will let many children of the aristocratic family who have preliminary military achievements here.
When they come here to serve as officials, some nobles who have graduated from the official school will also be used here as a training place for internships and official trials. After gaining experience, they will be sent to other places to entrust them with important tasks. Venerable Doupeng
, that’s right.”
Doupeng nodded and said: "The ancestor is right, that's it. Here in Guangzhou, Wu Yinzhi is mainly responsible for the initial post-war governance of Huairou. Later, he will definitely have to change someone to take charge. Wu Yinzhi is over seven years old.
Ten days ago, he was already in his twilight years. If he hadn't been in Guangzhou before,
With the prestige here, and as an iconic figure who gives up hatred and faces the future, I'm afraid I won't send him here. I originally thought he was here for revenge, but after my ancestor's analysis just now, he was here for pardon and pardon.
After that, he will almost complete the task."
"But in Guangzhou, there has always been overseas trade, and there are many rare and precious treasures. The central courts of the past dynasties did not pay too much attention to the local regular products such as rice, grain, cloth, or the labor of people, and collected
The taxes are mostly like
The levy, or staying in Guangzhou, does not need to be transferred to Jiankang's treasury, so a lot of local trade income often goes into the pockets of the children of aristocratic families who are officials here. This was also the case last time when Wu Yinzhi
Anti-corruption reasons.”
"However, compared to these officials who are lining their pockets, those treasures and foreign objects from Southeast Asia are actually more loved by the Wudi family in Jiankang City, as well as some precious exotic medicinal materials, such as ambergris, frankincense, rubber, etc.
, are only found in the hot land of Nanyang, and some are even necessary to configure various immortality elixirs. Therefore, the noble family has always sent many managers, masters and merchants.
Households set up shop here to purchase these precious medicinal materials and rare treasures, and the people who manage these people are often some concubines of aristocratic families, as well as tributaries. Over time, some concubines of the family also spread their branches here and established Lingnan.
Junwang. Just like the Meng and Cuan clans in Nanning Prefecture, they are the Han people in the Central Plains who took root in the barbaric land and became a large barbarian clan." (End of this chapter)
