Chapter 563: Liu Xian likes to take the initiative
In this ancient era, people were the productive forces.
Liu Xian's development is inseparable from people.
Although the hundreds of thousands of displaced people who migrated from Luoyang were large, they had their own things to do. Moreover, the construction of the city wall is a very intense and laborious work, and it is not something that ordinary infirm people can do.
It's not that it can't be done, but the progress will be too slow.
Liu Xian was not willing to tire people to death when building the city wall, so he would not deliberately ask for harsh requirements to increase the intensity of work. In this way, it is necessary to have a strong labor force, and the best of all is to capture some thieves to do the labor.
Because real labor can be beaten or scolded, and sometimes, even if some people die, it doesn't matter. However, ordinary people are not allowed to beat and scold, let alone die easily.
Liu Xian likes those thieves very much, just like the Yellow Turban captives captured by Huangfu Song at the beginning. At that time, every effort was made to keep so many prisoners from Huangfu Song. Just to get those free labor, and not even care about their life or death.
Now, his secret agent actually heard about the changes in the Shangjun Mansion, and there was actually the shadow of Yu Fuluo in it. This made Liu Xian both vigilant and a little happy.
Because it's really a matter of coming whatever you want.
If the Shangjun government wants to make trouble with Yu Fuluo, then it is just an excuse for himself to use the knife against Shangjun, and obtain a large amount of population labor from it.
What's more, in Liu Xian's plan, there was already a plan to completely control Shangjun, but it was far from enough to just take over Zengshan County.
In Shangjun, Liu Xian doesn't have to be as careful as he is in Jizhou Julu and Beihai, he can completely let it go. As long as you can grasp the handle of the Shangjun government and make a report to the imperial court, then even if you destroy all the Shangjun official mansions and replace them with your own people to govern the upper county, the imperial court will acquiesce. As long as Liu Xian himself does not personally come forward to serve as the magistrate of Shangjun, then the imperial court has no handle to punish Liu Xian.
In the final analysis, now here, Liu Xian represents the imperial court. If the Shangjun government has bad intentions, it will be tantamount to rebellion, so Liu Xian can give them a fatal blow.
It can be said that Shangjun is too guarded and Zhaoyuan, and they are really a little wrong, they are still worried that Liu Xian has come here, and after occupying Zengshan County, it will affect their interests and their rule over Shangjun. I don't know that after they didn't clearly express their obedience to Liu Xian, Liu Xian already had the intention to get rid of them.
If there is no action, the government officials who are on the corpse and eat the vegetarian meal cannot ensure the peace of the people and cannot make profits for the people, so there is indeed no need for existence. What's more, it is very likely that they will collude with the Huns and secretly murder some mercenary evil officials of the Han people?
Liu Xian immediately asked the spies to conduct a detailed investigation of the situation in Shangjun, and be sure to hear their every move. Report to yourself in a timely manner.
Then, Liu Xian immediately recruited men and horses to prepare for a possible war.
Liu Xian hopes to fight in his heart, and only external threats can make it easier to unite people's hearts internally.
Now, the people of Zengshan County and people of different races have been drawn together, and under the condition that Liu Xian does not care about the consumption of money and food, these people have been favored by Liu Xian, and in some promulgated regulations, they can see a better future. Under such circumstances, I believe that they do not want to see what they have now deprived, and even less willing to see the current development trend destroyed.
And what about the murderous Huns? If you want to kidnap your wives and children, and plunder your own money and food, then you will fight to the death with them.
In Zengshan County, and even in the entire Shang County, there are really few foreign tribes that are doing well. Their living conditions were already extremely poor, and they were barely able to survive the previous winter. Among them, many tribes really barely survived the previous winter.
If they continue to develop according to the beautiful blueprint that Liu Xian described to them, then they will not have to worry about the hardships of the cold winter every year in the future.
Now the situation is unclear, Liu Xian didn't have to recruit people so quickly, but Liu Xian really didn't want to fight an uncertain battle. In addition, there are some things, in fact, there is no need to confirm, you only need to capture some rumors, you can guess some things.
For example, the Upper County Government itself has a huge problem. No matter who else comes here, if they can threaten their power, status and prestige, and can affect their interests, then they will definitely take action, and they will definitely not sit idly by. It just depends on what kind of action they take.
When Liu Xian was in Shangjun, they intended to coerce Liu Xian and make Liu Xian hand over the power to settle the hundreds of thousands of displaced people.
Liu Xian wanted to know very much, if this was another person, it was estimated that they would really succeed.
Now that he is hooking up with Yu Fuluo, the Xiongnu Right Sage King who is ambitious for the Han Dynasty, then Liu Xian will not believe that he is a good person.
Since he has the intention to get rid of them and change his own people to govern Shangjun, then even if he doesn't have, Liu Xian will say that he is.
As for that Yu Fuluo, he wanted to make trouble in secret, so Liu Xian forced him out. And, let him have no place in Dahan again. After what happened here, Liu Xian made him dare not return to the capital Luoyang.
Liu Xian doesn't like to be passive.
Therefore, when the current alien centaurs were gathered, there were nearly 20,000 horses. The 20,000 horses did not include Liu Xian's men and horses and the 2,000 people brought by Zhang Liao, as well as those young and strong men and horses who had no combat effectiveness but could maintain the official order of Zengshan County. These were organized in Luoyang to form the young and strong guards of their original homeless settlements, adding up to about 30,000 people in total.
From the hundreds of thousands of displaced people, 30,000 young people were drawn out, and these are indeed young and strong, and with a little training, they can be formally organized into an army.
In fact, along the way, the escort team of these 30,000 displaced people settlement has indeed played a very important role. Hundreds of thousands of displaced people can now safely migrate to Zengshan County, and they have indeed contributed a lot.
What makes Liu Xian relieved is that along the way, there are no lost or dead people due to any accidents. Only a dozen or so died of serious illness.
Now, these 30,000 young men are actually the main force in cultivating wasteland, so it is impossible for Liu Xian to transfer them to build the city wall.
These 30,000 horses are actually a kind of deterrent to the aliens who have returned to Shun around Zengshan County, because no matter whether these 30,000 horses have combat effectiveness or not, they are indeed 30,000 horses. Those alien tribes, in terms of combat effectiveness, may be strong personally, but a single alien tribe, they have more than 10,000 people like the Xiangli tribe. In this way, how dare they go against Liu Xian?
It is precisely because of such a deterrent that the Xiangli tribe will be willing to obey, and then there will be a chain reaction.
Now, towards Liyue, Luo Hai stood on both sides of Liu Xian on the left and right, and the thirty or forty people below were all leaders of some foreign tribes near Zengshan County.
That's right, in Zengshan County alone, there are thirty or forty alien tribes. If it is calculated by region, it is equivalent to the time in the later generations, there are one or two foreign tribes in a town.
Of course, these thirty or forty different tribes are not all different, some of them are actually the same tribe, but they have many branches, and it is basically difficult for them to graze and live together in one place, so they branch to other places, and after more than a hundred years, they have formed a separate tribe.
Among them, most of them are Huns. The small half were originally dependent on the tribes of the Huns.
None of them knew what important thing Liu Xian was suddenly going to summon them to come, so they all asked each other in low voices.
When Liu Xian saw that everyone had come, he coughed and said to them: "Fellow clan brothers, you must be very curious why Benhou suddenly summoned you here, right?" Hehe, don't worry, I'll tell you. ”
Liu Xian waved his hand at them with a relaxed demeanor and asked them all to sit down first.
Liu Xian also sat down and said, "First of all, I want to ask, are you still satisfied with the current situation of the disposal arrangements given to your tribesmen by Benhou?" ”
"Marquis Wu Yong, we are very satisfied! Now that we have accepted the governance of the Zengshan County government, our clansmen have been properly resettled, and in the future, we will all live in the Han county town. This makes us feel that we have all become Han people in the city. Also, now the government has really done the same as our tribesmen, and our people can also feel the government policies that you Han people have. ”
"Yes, yes, Marquis Wu Yong, the old man is really grateful to you now. If it weren't for you, we'd ...... I'm afraid I can only hide in that ravine, where can I move to the county seat. Also, your government has organized so many people to build us a bright house like your Han people. Hehe, the old man feels that if he can have a house like that, he will be satisfied in this life. The old man has already planned to pass on the patriarch to my son, and when the time comes, let him make cattle and horses for you Wuyonghou! But there are orders, and everything is obeyed! ”
"The old patriarch is right. We can also see it, whether it is a Han or a tribe, in fact, everyone is the same, as long as everyone lives in harmony, they can live a good life. Now, the people in our tribe who are willing to learn from the Han people have been allocated three acres of land per person. ”
……
These clan leaders, patriarchs, etc., gossiping, it seems, they really recognize Liu Xian in their hearts, and really regard Liu Xian as their own.
The benefits that Liu Xian is giving them are indeed real, and these cannot be faked. If it was the original Han government, how could they be treated so favorably?
Having said that, now in Youzhou, Youzhou Mu has implemented a nostalgic policy towards those aliens. In a sense, it's not a bad thing. However, the bad thing is that Liu Yu can't control the overall situation in Youzhou, but even if he can control the overall situation, he can't be as thorough as Liu Xian. The most important thing is that Liu Yu doesn't have so much money and food to directly help so many aliens anyway.
In fact, Liu Xian's practice can only be carried out locally, and it is impossible to be so beneficial to all foreign tribes. Of course, this is only temporary, and if Liu Xian develops and grows over time, then he will have the ability and strength to implement these policies.
Liu Xian pressed his hand on the people below at this time, and said: "Very good, I, Liu Xian, am here to make a bottom with you, I really want you to live well, and I don't need you to be a cow or a horse for me." Of course, some government orders still have to be obeyed. There is one that I Liu Xian can also guarantee, as long as this place is still my Liu Xian has the final say, then I can guarantee that what I am doing now, some of the regulations that have been sung are effective and must be strictly enforced. I told you that if you don't collect your field tax for how many years, then you won't collect it for how many years, these are hard and fast rules. In addition, even if your land tax is collected in the future, it will be controlled within a hard percentage. Definitely not exceeded. In addition, if there is a disaster year, you must be unconditionally exempted from the field tax, and then depending on the disaster situation, you will be given a certain amount of support. ”
"I am so grateful to Wu Yonghou for his great grace! The Great Han is mighty! Long live Marquis Wu Yong! ”
As soon as some of the clan patriarchs were excited, they shouted, which also caused other leaders to also bow and thank Liu Xian.
Liu Xian was startled, and quickly stopped: "Shut up, shut up, don't get excited!" Also, long live Liu Xian, who can shout or something in the future, if this spreads, it will be a big crime. Well, stop shouting! ”
Long live being called? Once this reaches the imperial court, I am afraid that it will really be questioned by the imperial court. Now the imperial court is eager to catch Liu Xian's handle, which is tantamount to giving the imperial court an excuse to deal with itself in vain.
Liu Xian stopped the excited crowd, and then said: "Okay, there is no need to shout nonsense if you praise your merits." Now, what I want to tell you is that everything we have now has has not come easily. So, do you want the situation to change? Want to be ruined by someone else? ”
"What? Who is going to change? Who's going to ruin our current situation? No way! This is absolutely not a no-go. Marquis Wu Yong, what are you...... Is this what happened? ”
Liu Xian shook his head and said, "I won't let people ruin the current situation." However, there are still people who are not used to our good and plan to destroy it. You say, "Can we say yes?" ”
"Can't!"
"Yes, it can't. Now, I can tell you about it. On the side of the Shangjun government, they colluded with Yu Fuluo, the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu, and are plotting with bad intentions, and it is very likely that they will collude with each other to attack our Zengshan County. That's the real reason why Benhou has summoned you here today. ”
