Chapter 0644 Crossing the River by Feeling the Stones
"Just follow the old example."
Feng Yong spoke without hesitation.
In fact, compared to the Nanban of Yueshan, Longyou Qianghu is easier to deal with.
Because the barbarian tribes of Yue Shan were rebels in the first place, they needed to be subdued by force first.
And there are many tribes that live in the mountains and forests, and you have to think of ways to move them to flat land.
Finally, they can be taught to farm, or they can build a hay tower to adapt them to settled life.
Therefore, a considerable part of the barbarians have changed from scratch to settled farming.
But Longyou's Qianghu is different.
They continued to migrate to Longyou and Guanzhong in order to be able to eat a full meal, so they had to learn to farm, both subjectively and objectively.
In fact, the further east they went, the more accustomed Qianghu became to farming.
Not to mention Guanzhong, the vast majority of the Qianghu in Longyou and Liangzhou are in a state of semi-nomadism and semi-cultivation, and even a small part are in a state of transformation into a complete cultivation nation.
Although the Qianghu continued to move inward, they also continued to integrate with the Han Chinese.
Therefore, the foundation of Qianghu is actually much better than that of the Yi people in Nanzhong.
And because the Han Dynasty was an era when Han nationalism was prevalent, the social status of Qianghu was not high.
In addition to handing over a considerable amount of the grain they grow, the local officials will also forcibly requisition the surplus grain at any time.
In the eyes of local officials and tyrants, they were regarded as slaves and were often enslaved at will.
"Those who belong to them are either the right hand of the mighty and the right, or they are bent to the diligence of the servants", this is their true position.
The most tragic thing is that as the Qiang rebellion in Liangzhou becomes more and more frequent, Qianghu will often be borrowed by border generals to take the lead in the army.
They have a very urgent need to improve their social status - if you don't give it, I will rebel and take it myself.
If you want to change the former Han Dynasty, or Cao Wei and Eastern Wu, who are the masters of the family, to get the imperial court to take the initiative to improve the status of Qianghu, it is basically impossible.
But Ji Han is different.
The basic national policy "Longzhong Pair" first put forward the proposal of southern Fu Nanyi, which was affirmed by the founding emperor Liu Bei.
Zhuge Old Demon, as a pragmatic prime minister of the Han Dynasty, when he conquered the Southern Barbarians, he captured Meng Shu seven times, swore an alliance with the Southern Barbarians, and promised that the Han Yi would be the same.
Although his actions had a specific political purpose, and at the same time, they were also to gather as much manpower and material resources as possible to carry out the Northern Expedition, it is undeniable that these measures objectively improved the status of the Yi people.
At the same time, it has also promoted ethnic integration and accelerated the development of South China.
Compared with Feng Yong's own notorious and stinking like dog shit title of "Ghost King", the prime minister of the Han Dynasty has now been respected by many Nanzhongyi people as "Zhuge Ah Gong".
Compared with the previous days when the day was precarious, unclothed, and hungry, the days in the Nanzhong Plantation at least had a place to sleep, not afraid of the invasion of fierce beasts, and had clothes to wear and food.
Even when you are sick, there are medical workers to treat you - it is a student of Nanxiang Medical College who is practicing his hands.
In the eyes of the people of Shuzhong, this kind of life may be a hard life, but in the eyes of the Yi people in Nanzhong, it is the quality of life that is improving.
Therefore, Zhuge A's name is spread to Nanzhong, which is inevitable.
This made Feng Tu Turtle feel deeply jealous.
There is no way to recover his reputation in Nanzhong, but Yinping Wudu and Longyou counties are different.
Feng Langjun's reputation is not ordinarily good.
Since the Han Dynasty now has the political and practical needs to improve the status of the Hu people, and the Qianghu also has this urgent need, the two hit it off.
Therefore, Feng Yong felt that he could take advantage of this east wind to properly save his increasingly corrupt reputation.
The people of Qianghu who are living in dire straits need my salvation!
If the operation is good, it is impossible to say that after a thousand years, the people of Qianghu will also spread the reputation of "Feng Ah Gong"!
The prime minister of the big Han who was walking in front naturally didn't know that Feng Yongcai had turned so many thoughts in an instant, and he carefully recalled Feng Yong's approach in Yueshan.
Suddenly suspected, this kid couldn't have been planned a long time ago, right?
Yueshan's approach to the Yiren Hu people grazing in the mountains and forests hardly needs to make the slightest change, just take it and apply it.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang turned his head suspiciously, just in time to see Feng Yongzheng's demented appearance with a smirk on his face.
The prime minister of the Han Dynasty frowned, "This is what you planned a long time ago?" ”
Feng Tu is immersed in a fantasy world and can't extricate himself.
"I'm talking to you!"
Zhuge Liang raised his voice.
If he had changed to someone else and dared to be so rude in front of him, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty would have been blacklisted a long time ago.
Just touched the telescope worth 500,000 yuan in his arms, and the prime minister of the Han Dynasty felt that he could give him one more chance.
A low cry woke Feng Yong up, and he subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth, well, fortunately, there was no saliva.
"Huh? Oh, Prime Minister, I am thinking about how to govern the Hu people of Longyou, and I lost my mind for a while. What were you talking about? ”
Feng Yong came back to his senses, hurriedly took two steps, and asked.
"What you did in Yueshan, didn't you have a plan for a long time?"
"Nope."
Feng Yong denied it.
Zhuge Liang didn't believe it.
It's just that regardless of whether Feng Yong had a plan or not, it has little impact on the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
What he was concerned about was whether Feng Yong's age would have the experience to deal with what was going on.
He stopped and waved his hand, letting the people below disperse so that no one could hear the next conversation between the two, and then continued, "Now that the drought in Longyou is a foregone conclusion, it is too coincidental for the Han to encounter such a thing as soon as he recovers Longyou." ”
"If you want to appease the Qianghu, the first thing is food. Without enough food, Qianghu was afraid that he would commit thieves. And the Han Dynasty has just regained Longyou, and for the majesty of the official mansion, he will inevitably march to suppress it. ”
"Otherwise, the people of Longyou and the Hao clan will feel that the Han Dynasty is still like the Later Han, the law is lax, and the punishment is not severe. When the people do not have a fear of the law, evil thoughts arise. ”
"However, now that the Northern Expedition has consumed most of the grain stored in the Hanzhong Treasury, the rest can barely appease the people of Longyou, what should you do?"
When Feng Yong heard this, he was stunned on the spot: "What does the prime minister mean is that the imperial court has no extra food to relieve those Qianghu, so I have to figure out my own way?" ”
There are so many spicy people in Longyouqiang, where can I find so much food? For such a position, why don't you raise the price to the sky? Open so much, and don't think about whether I can afford it?
Feng Yong slandered, glanced at the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and said in his heart: You are forcing me to write a "In the Name of Ji Han", Prime Minister!
"I originally wanted to set up the post of captain to protect Xiqiang, to lead the protection of Xiqiang, and to be in charge of Xiqiang's affairs. If the Qianghu can be appeased, it will be appeased, and if it is the Qianghu rebellion, it will be broken. ”
Zhuge Liang turned around and said, "This position is very powerful, although it is only in charge of Longyou Qianghu at present, but in the future, Liangzhou will be recovered, and even Guanzhong, and the Qianghu in these two places are also under its jurisdiction." ”
"To protect the Qiang captain, not only to mediate the disputes between the various tribes of the Qianghu, but more importantly, to prevent the Qianghu and Cao Wei from being connected, and even to restrain the Qianghu in Cao Wei for the use of the Han Dynasty."
"Looking at the territory of Dahan, you are indeed the only one who is the most suitable. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, when Longyou was restored, and it coincided with the drought in Longyou, if you can appease Qianghu and prevent them from causing trouble. ”
"Then who will say that you are not suitable for this important position? I just put the matter of Xiqiang on you, so what's the matter? ”
Feng Langjun, who was thinking about how to write "In the Name of Ji Han", was immediately a stirring spirit when he heard it: Longyou, Liangzhou, and Guanzhong Qianghu are all under my control?
From the Qianghu side alone, this is much more powerful than the several governors of the Han Dynasty!
Coupled with Qianghu's low social status, if he really wants to be the captain of Qiang, wouldn't he be the emperor of Qianghu?
When the time comes, which tribe will dare not listen to Lao Tzu's words, the clan!
Ah, no, it's to lead the king to ask for a minister, and by the way, bring a few cows and sheep back to make a tooth sacrifice......
Thinking of this, Feng Yong only felt extremely hot all over his body, and blurted out a question, "Prime Minister, is this true?" ”
"How could I joke with you about the affairs of the country?"
When Zhuge Liang saw Feng Yong's appearance, an unpredictable meaning flashed in his eyes, but there was a slight smile on his face.
Feng Yong's eyes rolled and asked, "As long as I can appease Qiang Hu?" ”
"It's this year that people appeased Longyou Qianghu." Zhuge Liang bit down and said in a heavy voice. "This year's Longyou chaos has been decided, so the main responsibility of the captain of the Qiang Guard is to appease Qianghu."
Speaking of this, how could Zhuge Liang not understand Feng Yong's careful thinking, "Don't think about what loopholes to exploit!" You also said that if you want to imitate the old example, then from next year, Longyou Qianghu will be included in the household registration. ”
"In the year after that, every year, according to the number of household registrations, the quota of cattle, sheep, horses, wool, and grain must be handed over to the imperial court before it can be regarded as passing. After the recovery of Liangzhou and Guanzhong, the quota will be increased according to the situation. ”
Feng Yong asked, "Is the quota also according to the rules of Yueshan?" ”
"For the time being, let's follow the old practice." Zhuge Liang seems to have considered this issue for a long time, "I will make adjustments according to the actual situation in the future." After all, this is the first year that the tax will be fully implemented in Vietnam, right? ”
Feng Yong nodded, "Yes." ”
Although Yue Wei was able to collect some of the taxes last year, it can only be regarded as a trial trial.
In addition, the Northern Expedition was a major event related to the life and death of the Han Dynasty, so the Yue Dynasty implemented a wartime policy last year.
Only when this year is all over, and the Vietnamese statistics team headed by Amei counts all the data, can we make targeted adjustments to the policies of the Vietnamese Federation.
"That's right. The rules of Yue Shan were initially set, and no one knew if there was anything inappropriate, so this year we will first see if there is anything that needs to be filled. After confirming that it is correct, Longyou will follow the rules. ”
"No problem!"
Feng Yong nodded repeatedly.
There will be a full year of gap next year, which is enough to get back all the money that I have spent in advance!
"The wool harvested next year will be harvested by the imperial court. From the following year, the harvest is fifty percent. ”
Zhuge Liang added.
Feng Yong's face froze, and then he quickly calculated in his heart: In this way, the price of wool for the five workshops of the Shuzhong family can only increase by another fifteen percentage points.
"Okay!"
Seeing that Feng Yong agreed very happily, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty suddenly regretted it in his heart: he knew that he would harvest fifty percent from the beginning.
"The subordinate officers of the Qiang Guard have a long history, Sima and the two, and there are a number of them, you can draw up a list of these places and hand them over to me for review."
"Also, the captain of the Qiang Protector can lead 10,000 troops, and then you will be given 3,000 soldiers first, and the rest, you need to be requisitioned from the Qianghu tribe. After recovering Liangzhou and Guanzhong, the army will be expanded. ”
"After paying a full amount of taxes to the imperial court every year, the remaining money and grain will be allocated by the captain of Huqiang himself, but the captain of Huqiang belongs to the army, and the imperial court will no longer ration weapons, armor, grain and grass, etc., so you have to figure out your own way."
Hearing that the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty gave him the right to protect the lieutenant, Feng Yong's first reaction was not joy, but was taken aback, and even a little chilled: Lao Tzu didn't make any big mistakes, right? Is this going to kill my rhythm?
The power of the captain of Huqiang is so great, it will really take a few years, and no one can say that he has a crooked mouth, "The captain of Huqiang has the right to collect troops, and he also has the duty of collecting money and food, and he also buys his own soldiers." ”
"And Qiang Hu regards Feng Yong as a god, which cannot be controlled by the imperial court, but is the source of chaos......"
Horn la la or something.
It is estimated that Zhang Xingcai does not want to marry her sister-in-law to me, but wants to burn paper money for me.
Feng Yongzheng was thinking about how to shirk it, only to hear the prime minister of the Han Dynasty say again, "Five years, this method will be tried for five years first." Five years later, the Hu people, who had completely settled down, were set up by the imperial court to set up another county and appoint officials. ”
Isn't this the five-year plan plus one country, two systems?
Managing Qianghu and managing Hermes-Epitek is definitely different, so Zhuge Old Demon let himself cross the river by feeling the stones first, and then reach out to pick peaches when the time is ripe.
But Feng Yong had to accept it.
First of all, the white wolf with empty gloves, and five years of cattle, sheep, horses, wool and grain, there is no risk at all.
Then he waited for himself to work hard, finish his hard work, and easily reach out to pick peaches.
This is a clear conspiracy and an upright political method.
But will Feng Yong refuse?
Definitely not.
Unless he asks for nothing, no one can resist the temptation.
Five years is enough time to eat a big belly.
Besides, it's not that there will be nothing left after five years, it's just that the Qianghu who have completely settled down will be divided.
As the Han Dynasty moved west into Liangzhou and the east returned to Guanzhong, there will only be more and more Qianghu who need to be managed.
There is even the Western Regions, how young is this?
What's more, as long as he can become the captain of the Qiang Guard, how many outlets can he find for the people below?
The disabled Nanxiang soldiers don't have to worry about the arrangement, and even the students who come out of the academy will be in short supply within five years, so they must be expanded immediately.
Even if the imperial court appoints officials five years later, will they know how to deal with the new type of production relations that Longyou Qianghu has?
At that time, it will not be the same as the grassroots personnel who have to rely on the Xinghan Hui system?
Thinking of this, Feng Yong rubbed his hands, leaned forward and said with a smile, "The prime minister has an order, how dare I disobey?" Prime Minister, please rest assured, the money and grain needed to appease Qianghu this year will definitely not let the imperial court give me a grain of grain, just hand it over to me. ”
Zhuge Liang smiled with satisfaction, "This is what you said, if you can't solve it properly, then don't blame the old man for appointing someone else." ”
"No problem."
Feng Yong patted his chest in response.
At the same time, he gritted his teeth secretly, and it stands to reason that after cutting a wave of leeks, he should water them a little to let them breathe.
This year's drought in Longyou just made those who were cut leeks in the Nanxiang Exchange return to their blood, which is the right reason, so as not to dig up the roots of leeks.
But for now......
I can't say that I have to harvest another wave!
No matter what, for the stability of Longyou, everyone should take a long-term view, and regard it as a contribution to the imperial court.
Speaking of the long term, Feng Yong subconsciously touched his arms again.
Hey?
What about my telescope?
Feng Tu raised his head, only to find that the prime minister had disappeared.
