Before the Liangzhou Rebellion, the Qianghu rebellion was common, and the common ones were only thousands, and the most were only tens of thousands.

However, since the Liangzhou Rebellion, the Qianghu rebellion in Liangzhou was often a combination of several counties, and the number of rebels also climbed from thousands to tens of thousands.

The reason is that local wealthy families are involved.

Without the support of local wealthy clans, it is relatively rare for the Qianghu rebels to reach tens of thousands.

Just like this time, someone dared to put forward the slogan of re-establishing the head of the river and the king of Pinghan.

If someone said that there was no remnant of the Song Jianxiao court mixed in, Feng Yong would rather believe that his mother-in-law was pregnant with twins, and it was the kind of dragon and phoenix fetus!

But none of that matters.

In the face of Jufu, Chen Shi and others leading the Han army after the Battle of Longyou, Feng Yong believed that the rebels could not make any big waves.

This kind of thing is enough to hand over to his general, and he has more important things to do.

For example, to ensure logistics.

Compared with going to the front line, the most important thing in this battle is how to turn the results of victory into war dividends.

The Xinghan Association plays an important role in it.

Some time ago, when the weather began to show signs of warming, Dongfeng Express was ready to resume the supply to Longyou.

Xu Xun is now completely giving the route from Jincheng to Yong'an to his nominal cousin Xu You to do.

He himself worked tirelessly to walk the line of Longyou.

By the time he ran to Shouyang in person, the weather in Longyou was already very warm, and Shouyang in Longxi might be a little colder, but it was only a little.

Walking outside, wearing a sweater and a coat, that's enough.

Xu Xun brought a small bag of grain over and asked Feng Yong to inspect the goods: "Brother, look at it, how is this good?" ”

Feng Yong touched his body, but didn't touch the knife.

I had to pick up a little powder with my thumb and forefinger, put it in my mouth and tasted it, and then snorted, feeling that it didn't taste like dry food 2.0.

He snatched the bag and looked inside, only to see that the powder inside seemed to be gray.

I thought it was because the light was not enough, so I walked to the door of the hall and looked at the sun, yes, it was gray.

"What the hell? Can you eat it? ”

Feng Yong frowned and smashed his mouth, always feeling that something was not right in his mouth.

Xu Xun walked over and smiled: "Brother, it's normal to be unaccustomed to eating this thing." ”

"Less! Say, what is this thing? Feng Yong scolded, and shook the bag in his hand again, it looked like flour that was not polished at the beginning.

But today's flour is not only much finer than before, but also much whiter, even if mixed with various types of soybean flour and the like, it will not be gray like this.

If it was flour, Xu Xun would not be able to take it for himself to inspect with a face.

Xu Xun leaned over and said in a low voice: "I can't complain that my brother doesn't know, this is a new thing from Nanxiang." ”

"But he made flour out of the head, and did not change anything except the flour for the flour, and fried it in lard, and mixed it with salt."

"It looks like it's not as good as flour, but it tastes pretty ......."

Feng Yong looked at Xu Xun muttering and nagging, and couldn't help but shout: "Talk about people!" ”

"Ah, yes, yes. The meaning of the younger brother. The food in the hands of our brothers in the club can't just be used on this side. Over there in Nanxiang, didn't you plant a lot of bamboo heads in the first two years? ”

"Since this head can be ground into flour and can also replace flour, then this dry food ......"

When Feng Yong heard this, his heart was full of fire, isn't this just drinking the blood of soldiers?

Lao Tzu is working desperately on the front line, and you are waiting for war money in the back, and you dare to think of drawing blood from the soldiers?

When the time comes, one day the soldier turns his face, and the first one to die is me!

Thinking of this, Feng Yongyang raised the bag of bamboo powder and was about to smash it on Xu Xun's head: "You dare?" See if I don't kill you first! ”

Xu Xun saw that his brother didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and he turned his face when he said it.

On the spot, he held his head and shouted: "Brother spare his life, this is what Zhang Xiaoniang meant, the little brother is wronged!" ”

That is, Xu Xun shouted in time, and Feng Yong took back the bag that was almost smashed out: "Who?" Little lady Zhang? ”

Thinking of Zhang Xingyi's cute and delicate appearance, Feng Yong was furious again: "You are talking nonsense! How could Siniang do such a thing? ”

Although she knew that she was hurting her heart, how could Siniang bury a mine for herself like this?

This kind of blackening speed is too sudden!

Thinking of this, Feng Yong kicked Xu Xun again.

"It's true, brother, Little Lady Zhang said, in the past few years, Nanxiang has planted a lot of bamboo heads every year to prepare for famine."

"There are too many of them, and they can't even eat the coolies underneath, so they can only feed the pigs in the end."

Xu Xun was kicked, he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly explained, "It just so happened that Little Lady Zhang came back to Longyou and knew the situation on Longyou's side." ”

"After she went back, I don't know who she learned from, she took the head and ground it into flour, fried it and made it into dry food."

When Feng Yong heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.

Seeing the change in the expression on his brother's face, Xu Xun knew that he might be safe, so he cautiously approached again.

"Brother, in the final analysis, this little lady is also for the sake of our brothers."

"This Hu man from Longyou, what is it not to eat? There is not much difference between this flour and flour, at most the color is different. ”

"Besides, the food in the hands of the brothers is not only for Longyou, the plantation in Nanzhong, and the horse farm in Yueshan, which one does not need food?"

"And the grain in our club has been decreasing day by day since the Northern Expedition, so it can't go on like this. Anyway, instead of feeding the pigs, why not use it to relieve the Hu people in Longyou? ”

it!

You look like a natural thing, you really are a complete profiteer.

Feng Yong looked at him: "Are you sure that this is what Little Lady Zhang ordered you to do?" ”

It shouldn't be, how could my family's Siniang be so immoral, you must have instigated her to do it, and then pushed the matter on her head!

"How dare the little brother talk nonsense? Besides, the little brother can't think of such a lack of morality, uh, such a good way to save money......"

Xu Xun's mouth stumbled.

Do you say it again? Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death!

Feng Yong pondered for a while, and finally rolled his eyes, picked up a little powder and put it in his mouth and licked it.

Force yourself to believe: Well, this tastes, almost, right?

"I just don't know if they are used to eating ......"

"What's not to be used to?" As soon as Xu Xun saw that Feng Yong was showing signs of loosening, he hurriedly puffed up his tongue, "Brother, this year, it's good to have something to eat." ”

"The younger brother came from Pingxiang, and happened to meet a small tribe of the Huns, and I heard that General Ma arranged to send it."

"They were chased by the Xianbei people in the north, and they lost their cattle, sheep and horses. The younger brother couldn't see it, and specially sent them a bag of these dry foods. ”

"And guess what? The leader of the Huns was very grateful to the younger brother, and kept the younger brother in his tent for the night......"

When Feng Yong heard this, he squinted and looked at it: "Huh? Why, you slept with him? ”

"Ahem," Xu Xun blushed, "Brother doesn't know, this Hu person is rude and rude, and some customs are very different from ours. This host stayed overnight, which made people feel ......"

At this, he paused, as if he couldn't think of any words to describe it.

"Tasteful?" Feng Yong answered.

"That's right! What a taste! Xu Xun slapped his thigh, and then looked at Feng Yong, "Brother also knows?" ”

He looked to the side, and then whispered, "Brother Mo Cheng also spent the night in the Hu people's tent camp?" ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized: "That's right, my brother is the descendant of the mountain god in the eyes of the Hu people, I'm afraid that there are countless Hu leaders who want to invite my brother to spend the night?" ”

"In this way, the wife and daughter of the leader of the Hu people in Longyou ......"

Feng Yong saw that this person was speaking more and more unhuman, and kicked him away with a kick: "Get out!" ”

Even if I rubbed them with soap all night, I didn't even have the heart to do that.

Xu Xun posted it again with a dead face: "Brother, look at this dry food......"

"How many do you have?"

Feng Yong asked.

"If my brother doesn't open his mouth, how dare we do this easily? Now the younger brother has taken a little bit and let the elder brother palm his eyes. ”

"If the elder brother thinks it is feasible, then the younger brother will bring a batch over next time. Speaking of which, this Nanxiang's head has been stored for a winter, and if it is left unchecked, I am afraid that it will be broken. ”

Xu Xun hurriedly said.

"Cheng, then bring a batch next time." Feng Yong nodded, as if he had responded to this matter, "But this thing needs to be changed." ”

"Try mixing half of the flour with half of the flour and half of the flour so it's not too obvious."

After all, it was Siniang who proposed it, so how can this face be given.

Besides, prepare for the famine, prepare the famine, now there is a famine in Longyou, what's wrong with the head to prepare for the famine?

Not only is it not wrong, but it is also a matter of course.

It's just that the form is different!

Siniang is indeed a virtuous helper, and she immediately grasped the essence of things: if you don't use the good food to save the famine, you actually use it to feed the pigs, which is a great crime!

"It's still my brother who thinks about it!" Xu Xun hurriedly patted his ass, and then came up again, "Brother, this time the Western Expedition rebelled against Hu, our ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Xun's eyes flashed, "Shouldn't the price also be raised?" ”

"What?"

Feng Yong couldn't react for a while.

"Labor." Xu Xun pointed out directly and said, "I heard that there are more than 100,000 Hu people who rebelled in Longxi!" ”

"The price of this pork has risen nearly doubled, and this human meat ...... Well, the younger brother is saying that this labor is still a first-class labor, so why should the price go up! Otherwise, would we not have died? ”

"How much are you going to go up?"

Feng Yong asked.

The rise is definitely going to rise, but Feng Yong has been staying in Longyou this year, and he has even gone to a remote place in Longxi in the past few months.

The message transmission is inconvenient, and I am not very familiar with the current market, so I should ask someone who is familiar with the market.

"That's the number." Xu Xun stretched out three fingers, "The junior brother has discussed with Deng Weizhe, and it is enough to increase this number." ”

Feng Yong heard this, and gasped, you are also dark enough, the price has risen by almost half at once.

"A whole number?"

"Yes, that's right, make up a whole number, one hundred."

Xu Xun nodded.

"Will it be too much?"

Feng Yong hesitated.

It's not that I pity these nonsense people, but I'm worried about causing a market rebound.

In these years, for the Hu people who did not obey the indoctrination, once the army drove over, it was basically a massacre.

Since the war between the Han and the Xiongnu, it has always been this routine, without mercy and humanity at all.

History books often say that they won the war and obtained tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, but they never mentioned what happened to the original owners of those hundreds of thousands of livestock.

How will their livestock survive after being taken away?

Just die, what livestock do you need?

This is the real historical truth.

Since Feng Yong proposed the concept of converting prisoners of war into labor and resuming farming, the treatment of prisoners of war has been much better than before.

And this concept is very much in line with the trend of the Han people's urgent need for population.

At least the prisoners of war went from being bloodily slaughtered to having a little hope of survival.

In this respect, Feng Yong felt that he had made great merits.

"Brother, this is really not much. We have already negotiated with those who plan to come to Longyou to build a workshop in Shuzhong, and they are also willing to raise the price. ”

Xu Xun hurriedly said, "Brother, you don't know, except from my brother, I really can't find labor anywhere else." ”

"Even that Nanzhong, two years ago, it was good to say that the tribe that belonged to the name of the five commanders of Nanzhong could catch some barbarians from the mountains and forests who attacked the manor."

"Now those small tribes and small villages in the mountains and forests have also learned to be obedient, and they will actually take the initiative to run out of the mountains and forests to find the government, saying that they want to learn farming."

"Brother, listen, this barbarian is not good to stay in the mountains and forests, learn what to farm......"

When Feng Yong heard this, his face seemed to be smiling, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

It's just that on the surface, he had to scold: "Say a few words, teaching barbarians to cultivate is the South China policy set by the prime minister, how can you be allowed to comment indiscriminately?" Don't want to die? ”

"Oh, yes, yes. The prime minister is kind-hearted, or else, I heard that the general Huo Aji in Pingyi County also went to Jincheng to meet His Majesty in person. ”

"In the end, with the permission of His Majesty, he was also ready to open a sugarcane plantation, which was still under the name of Nanzhong Metallurgical. It seems that the Yi people in the south have really been enlightened......"

When Feng Yong heard this, he was slightly stunned: "Huo Aji? ”

"Brother don't remember?"

How could it not be remembered?

The title of the ghost king of Nanzhong, if it were not for the promotion of the two leaders of the Yi people, Meng Shu and Huo Aji, would not have been able to resound through Nanzhong and leave such a notoriety.

"Huo Aji is a sober person." Feng Yong nodded approvingly, Feng Yong had always admired this Yiren general who used the strength of the whole clan to assist the Great Han Ping Nanzhong Rebellion.

With such a change, Nanzhong has taken another step from a semi-feudal to a real county management.

Xu Xun was a little disapproving, he only had labor: "Therefore, today's labor is becoming more and more difficult to find." ”

"I heard that my brother was preparing to attack the rebel Hu in the west of Longxi, and the younger brother was really happy in his heart, and he kept coming over."

When he said this, his face was very anxious, and even anxious: "Brother, have you heard?" Recently, there have been rumors that the prime minister is planning to take action against labor. ”

Feng Yong looked like he had expected it a long time ago, "Isn't this a normal thing?" How many benefits have we suffered in the past few years, and the court can only watch from the sidelines, who will be better? ”

After the initial brutal growth, emerging markets always have to return to the management of the government.

Not to mention the sensitive issue of population.

The Han Yi proposed by the prime minister is the same, and in the final analysis, it is also for the population.

Xu Xun was a little surprised when he saw Feng Yong's expression: "Brother already knows the prime minister's plan?" ”

Feng Yong glanced at Xu Xun: "What do you say?" This kind of thing, how could the prime minister not greet me in advance? ”

After all, he is the general leader of Dahan Labor Company.

You can't bypass anyone.

When Xu Xun heard this, he was overjoyed, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and gave a thumbs up: "It's still my brother!" ”

In the Battle of the Northern Expedition, the Han Dynasty not only captured many Wei soldiers, but also captured many Hu people.

For example, Qiangduan, the king of Di, originally wanted to repeat his old tricks and wanted to yin the Han again, but he was yin by the Han, so many rebellious Di people in Yinping Wudu fell into the hands of the Han.

As a result, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty finally planned to extend a criminal hand to the huge market of labor.

The land of Longyou is vast and sparsely populated, and the Han decided to settle here.

How to do labor?

Find the ghost king!

The total source of labor is here in Feng Yong, as long as you find Feng Yong, everything will be solved.

"What the prime minister means is that in the future, all those who use labor must be registered with the government, just like ploughing cattle, and they will be fined if they kill laborers at will."

"Therefore, these laborers can only be regarded as sinners who have served hard labor, and after serving hard labor, they must be rearranged by the government."

Feng Yong carelessly explained Zhuge Old Demon's plan, "At present, there is such a meaning, as for when it will be implemented, it is not clear." ”

"Since the prime minister has told his brother what he meant, it's probably not far from implementation, right?"

When Xu Xun heard this, he became even more anxious.

"Maybe."

Feng Yong actually couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt.

The savage growth of the market, in a huge advantage of the party must be welcome, you want to eat as much as you want - but there are huge hidden dangers.

Maybe it will explode one day, especially for yourself who is getting more and more in a high position.

Therefore, it is much safer to return to the unified management of the government, which shows that this market has been recognized by the government.

Insecure short-term profiteering and long-term trickle of water have their own benefits.

"Brother, then this price increase is even more inevitable, who knows what will happen to this labor in the future? I didn't wait for the news from the Prime Minister's Mansion to come out. ”

"Brother is now sending troops to quell the rebellion of the Hu people in Longxi, hurry up and eat a few more bites of meat!"

Xu Xun hurriedly persuaded, like a profiteer whose heart was as black as coal.

"Are you spreading the word that the prime minister may not allow labor to be bought and sold in the future?"

Feng Yong remembered what Xu Xun said just now that people who buy labor are also willing to raise prices, and he suddenly understood in his heart.

You shameless crony capitalists!

For the sake of profit, he dared to let the prime minister carry the black pot? Well?

"No, no, brother, don't talk nonsense." Xu Xun immediately denied it, "It's not a rumor from anyone, the little brother just hears it occasionally!" ”

Feng Yonghe sneered, and didn't say whether he believed it or not.

Using information asymmetry, deliberately disrupting the market, and then taking the opportunity to grab huge profits, how does this routine feel so familiar?
