Zhang Yuan found that he couldn't understand what these people were thinking now, and he didn't want to know?

"Zhang Xingren, you are a civil official, and you may not know Your Majesty's views on foreign countries.

The reason why the Huns had the highest combat achievements was because it was too difficult to win.

If no one loses and takes the country of Yelang, His Majesty will only think that the people of Yelang are all animals waiting to be slaughtered.

Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless a general comes to attack Yelang first, and finally dies without a problem, or even the whole army is wiped out, so that Your Majesty mistakenly thinks that Yelang Country is rich and strong, and then I will give Yelang Country a pot, and the marquis will definitely not be a problem."

Tang Meng still thinks too beautifully, even if there is a way to trap others, Zhang Yuan will not joke about the lives of the Han soldiers, and he will not allow others to use the lives of these soldiers as a stepping stone for his promotion.

"I will not back down, the whole mission knows about my proposal to count the population of Yelang, and Your Majesty will eventually know about it.

If I don't stand firm, I will be the one who suffers in the end.

As for what you have to do to fix these things, that's not my business. ”

Zhang Yuan didn't want to continue this meaningless argument with Tang Meng anymore.

Tang Meng's eyes were full of pity, and he wanted to continue to persuade Zhang Yuan, but the words that had reached his mouth never came out.

After saying goodbye to Tang Meng, Zhang Yuan directly found Jifu and told him everything.

Here, the only person who can guarantee that there will be no accidents after Zhang Yuan returns to Chang'an is Jifu.

After hearing Tang Meng's plan to use the women of the Baiyue tribe to expand the population of Yelang Kingdom, Ji Fu also felt that Tang Meng's idea was good, but he felt that after doing so, the Han would have a large number of slaves that could be used to undertake forced labor in a few decades.

In the Han Dynasty, no matter which side said that it was not a slave society, slaves were also called by various other names.

Servants, handmaidservants, and so on.

But the fact that they could be used to buy and sell suggests that this was slavery.

The superiors could not accept slaves, but they did not need people to serve them, so slaves existed in China until the nineteenth century.

But now when Zhang Yuan proposed to use foreigners to bear all this, everyone was able to accept it.

Only with a sufficient population can this vast area be developed.

"The old man has a way to solve the contradiction between you and Tang Meng, and it will not interfere with you, but will only transfer the pressure to him."

Jifu's IQ is much higher than Zhang Yuan's, and his brain turns even faster, which Zhang Yuan does not deny.

Zhang Yuan's advantage is that he is a traverser, and then there is a system that brings him all kinds of things beyond this era.

"Since Mr. Jifu has an idea, let's say it."

"It is imperative to count the household registration of the population, and forcibly divide the people of Yelang Kingdom into five people into one household, and one person for every five people will be assigned to bear the conscription. 2020

Even if these five people were all women, he Tang Meng had to capture a man for the big man to bear the conscription.

In the future, when the population is counted, even if the population of Yelang Country increases, then the increase will only be some women and children, and it will be strictly marked at that time.

Your Majesty and the nobles of the court will not be wary of women and children, so there will be no practical contradiction between you and Tang Meng, as for where Tang Meng goes to arrest people and who to use to arrest people, it is all his business. ”

Zhang Yuan's eyes rolled in his sockets, and he understood the intention of Jifu after a while.

"Mr. wants Tang Meng to arrest people, and then form a slave army, and attack the Dian Kingdom and the Ailao Kingdom?"

Ji Fu looked at Zhang Yuan with a teachable look.

"Yes, since he wants to be a marquis, it is too easy to just guard a Yelang country.

Lieutenant General Lang and the long history of the army have the right to form a slave army several times their own, and the three counties of Bashu will definitely not produce this person again, since Tang Meng is stationed in Yelang, then he can only conquer here, as long as the dead person is not my Han people, then it has nothing to do with us.

Wouldn't it be the best way for the dynasty to be able to reap all this without having to bear anything. ”

Zhang Yuan likes to be like this, but it may be that in the next ten years, Tang Meng will have to stay in the mountains of the southwest, harassed by mosquitoes and diseases.

Whether he can survive or not, Zhang Yuan can't guarantee it.

Dian and Nanyue were all countries that the Qin Dynasty's armies had come to open up here, but the reason why they were getting weaker and weaker was because of geographical differences.

Yelang is still semi-open, and it is safe, if Zhang Yuan is allowed to envoy to the Dian Kingdom, he will definitely be a hundred unwilling.

"Okay, it is estimated that after Tang Meng returns to the camp, Huang Changshi will definitely come back to see us, and then let him pass on these ideas to Tang Meng, so we don't interfere anymore, Tang Meng knows that the Huang clan also knows, and he can only accept it under pressure in the end."

Ji Fu nodded, and accepted Zhang Yuan's statement that he drove the people of the Huang clan.

Zhang Yuan didn't interfere in everything else, and when it came early the next morning, Duotong sent someone to tell Zhang Yuan to let him go out and start counting the registered population in Yelang Country.

For this reason, the officials of the mission began to complain, but there was no way, in order to ensure that the data presented to Liu Che were true and reliable, they could only be counted by the officials of the mission before the court sent new officials.

Most of the people of Yelang Country live together, and those hidden in the mountains cannot be counted as the people of Yelang Country, and it is also very convenient to count, because the number of people in Yelang Country is not very large.

The half-moon period soon arrived, and the officials who counted the registered population from all walks of life also handed over the data to Zhang Yuan, who summarized it.

"73,200 households, almost 200,000 people, according to Mr. Jifu, you said, this Tang Meng needs to catch at least 40,000 people to be able to make up for the gap in the number of conscripts."

Ji Fu was also busy with Zhang Yuan, and when he heard Zhang Yuan's, he showed a smile.

"Boy, you miscalculated, 40,000 servants are to be used as officials, and the Huang family needs at least 5,000 slaves, and the old man can't stop this year."

Zhang Yuan nodded after listening.

"If it were me, I wouldn't take on such an errand anyway, I would be a lieutenant general and stay at the border, there are still weak countries around, how comfortable is this life, and I don't worry about other people's sneak attacks or worry about mistakes, Your Majesty can't find it even if you want to find trouble."

Ji Fu's face changed, and he raised his voice and said.

"The Han does not raise useless people, he has been comfortable for a long time, if His Majesty transfers him to Beisai, what should you do?

If you are not useful to the big man, why should the old man chat with you here. ”
