More than 20 years ago, when Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty was still in power, a new grassland force appeared on the grassland after the Northern Xiongnu were forced to leave West Asia, which was Xianbei.

The Xianbei people are the descendants of the Donghu in the past, and have been dormant under the banner of the Xiongnu since they were defeated by Maodun that year, until the Eastern Han Dynasty when Emperor Guangwu was named a prince by Liu Xiu and began to gradually become independent of the Xiongnu.

With the continuous attack of the Eastern Han Dynasty on the Xiongnu, Xianbei also became an important force in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and finally became the largest force after the Xiongnu moved westward during the Han and Emperor periods.

Originally, Xianbei was also a tribe that did not belong to each other, but the situation created heroes, and the son of the deer marquis, Tan Shihuai, conquered the east and the west, successfully unified Xianbei, and resisted Ding Ling in the north, attacked Fuyu in the east, and entered Wusun in the west, spanning the homeland of the Huns for thousands of miles, and Xianbei, who had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, naturally learned from the Huns and began to look at the wealthy Han.

From the second year of Yongshou, that is, in 156 AD, Xianbei began to constantly harass the frontier of the Han Dynasty, and this attack was not the kind where a few people came to fight the autumn wind, but the kind where thousands of troops attacked the city and captured the land.

Soon after, Liu Zhizhu killed Liang Ji, it was the time of high spirits, so he ordered to reorganize the sergeants and counterattack Xianbei, and at this time, Lin Huan and others joined the army from different places, and gathered in Youzhou.

Because most of the Xianbei are cavalry, the Han army often can not be decided in a battle, which makes the war continue year after year, in a battle, Lin Huan and others followed the main general out of the fortress to pursue the Xianbei cavalry, but was surrounded and killed by the main force of Xianbei, a big battle was killed by a river of blood, and finally the Han army was defeated, Lin Huan and others desperately broke through, Lin Huan and others were in the tun where Lin Huan finally only Lin Huan and other five people stood out from the encirclement.

Because one of them at that time, that is, Yang Wanli, the old man who had just come in, was hit by an arrow in his foot, and it was a poisonous arrow, he could only cut off his own leg to save his life, Lin Huan and others were unwilling to abandon Yang Wanli, so they accompanied him to hide in the mountains and forests to recuperate, which also made them not return to the barracks in time to report the news, and they were all judged to be killed by Zhang Yang, the main general at the time.

In the Han army, there is an iron law of "the lord will die, and those who survive without reason will be killed", if they are found to be alive, it is difficult for them to explain where they have gone in the past ten days, and it may also involve their families, and finally decided to find a place to live in seclusion, so they came here to settle down.

In fact, this is also a common scene in ancient wars, after each major war, there are not so many people who really die, and a large number of people have fled, but these people are often afraid of the disposition of military law, or Wuthering mountains and forests, or secluded in the mountains, do not dare to go back.

The disappearance of Lin Huan and others did not affect the entire Han Xian War, in the later ten years, although the Han army organized a large army out of the fortress several times, but there was no big victory, especially after Liu Hong ascended the throne, and then the party was reinstated, so that most of the generals of the Shi clan were not reused, and they were repeatedly defeated, until two years ago after the death of Tan Shihuai, and Lian ascended the throne, this and Lian were greedy for money and lustful, and were shot and killed when they plundered the Han land less than a year after ascending the throne, and Xianbei has been completely split since then.

On today's grassland, Xianbei is divided into three parts, namely Budugen, with tens of thousands, according to Yunzhong, Yanmen area, the second is Kebineng, distributed in Daijun, Shanggu and other places, and the third is a number of small groups led by the original alliance "Eastern Lord", scattered in western Liaoning, Youbeiping and Yuyang. Among them, the Kebineng Group is the strongest.

It is worth mentioning that the original grassland overlord Xiongnu was actually attached at this time and lived in Bingzhou for a generation. Later, Cao Cao's exterminated Wuhuan was also attached, living in Youzhou for a generation, while the northwest was mainly Qiang, and the Qiang were actually attached and not independent.

After listening to Lin Huan tell their story, Ma Qiang asked curiously, "In that case, why do you want to take the initiative to incorporate Qi Min now?" Taxes and forced labor are not light. ”

The so-called Qi Min, which means that the household registration management system began in the Western Han Dynasty, is not only an administrative management system, but also a tax system, which needs to pay various taxes on time and also bears forced labor.

Of course, if there is obligation, there is power, and only the people who are organized into households can make political progress, in the Han Dynasty, that is, to promote filial piety and honesty, to serve as officials, and after the Tang and Song dynasties, they are qualified for the imperial examination.

But for most people, such power is really not cost-effective compared to the taxes and obligations that need to be assumed, so for thousands of years, the common people have been trying to become tenants and recluses in order to avoid taxes and servitude.

Of course, if it comes to the period of light taxation and meager taxation, the rental costs that need to be paid to become tenants are higher than the income obtained, and these people will take the initiative to become tenants.

So at the end of the day, political issues are often economic at the core.

Lin Huan looked at Lin Zhi, who was teasing the white smoke, and said, "If you don't be assigned to the household, you won't be able to enter the city if you want to enter the city in the future, although the current Taishou Liu Wei is a child of the clan, he is greedy for money and lustful, and in order to please His Majesty, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes have increased a lot."

For those of us who are not on the list, once we find out, we must check all the carry-on goods, which can be said to be a truckload of goods in and a pair of pants out. ”

"This is a border county, isn't he afraid of accidents? Who is the current history of assassination? Doesn't care? ”

"How? And he doesn't care, Liu Wei doesn't touch foreign races, doesn't touch big clans, only deals with us hermits in the mountains and wilderness, he knows that we have fur in our hands, and he wants to force us to hand over all the fur. ”

Lin Huan shook his head, looking helpless.

"These officials are all bad!"

Ma Qiang nodded, this bitter cold land in the northeast, the output is not high, and there are alien invasions, the only thing that can be used is probably the fur mountain goods, and the most fur is in addition to the alien race and the scholar clan, that is, the hunter hermit like Dasong Village, Liu Wei did this, it can be said that he hit the death hole of the hermit.

Many people will say, then don't go into the city, but the precious fur is difficult to get rid of if you don't enter the city, and trading outside the city may be robbed by robbers, now is not the era of cameras everywhere in the future, robbers kill people and drill elsewhere to find it, if you wait for the merchants in the village to collect, the price is easy to be depressed.

Speaking of which, Martial Saint Guan Yu now doesn't know if he is already a fugitive because of murder.

In ancient times, the city was the only place where there was order, and outside the city, the law was useless, and the patriarchs of the wealthy clans everywhere were the greatest laws.

"In that case, I haven't been on the book either, I wonder if Li Zheng can help solve it?" Ma Qiang asked, he didn't want to be a black household, even if he didn't have to pay taxes, but he had no future.

"It's simple, now our village's booklet hasn't been handed in, just write your name when I hand it in a few days." Lin Huan patted his chest and said.

"So much Xie Lizheng!"

This really helped a lot, and Ma Qiang can be regarded as having a hukou, which gives him the right to be elected and the right to vote.

emmmm, well, the so-called election of filial piety is in the hands of the big clan, and it has nothing to do with Ma Qiang.
