Chapter 26 Interests Drive People's Hearts
After giving Tang Meng a three-day time limit, Tang Meng left with an army of 500 men, and left Fuguan from the southern gate.
In the days when Tang Meng was away, Zhang Yuan also discovered the secret that Tang Meng wanted to hide.
One-third of the military tents in the barracks are all stored in all kinds of treasures of the southwest, bronzes of different shapes, boxes of golden sand, one-man coral, and even a few night pearls.
The time that prevented Zhang Yuan from entering the city was probably to hide these things.
The process of developing the Southwest Yi was a process of seizing wealth, while the war launched against the Xiongnu was only a process of consuming wealth.
The Han Dynasty was able to enter a prosperous era after Liu Che's exhaustive military for decades, because all the wealth in the south was transported to the Central Plains.
The iron ore in Zhang Yuan's imagination did not appear, and there were no Huang clan members in the army, of course, it cannot be ruled out that those Huang clan people were dressed as soldiers.
"The head of the family, this Fu Guan is nothing to look at, aren't we going to send an envoy to Yelang Country, why don't you go."
Erdan was sent out by Zhang Yuan, and he wandered around the barracks all day long, chatting with those soldiers just to be able to get some useful information, and now Fu Guan has almost all of these things turned upside down by Erdan Zongxing and the two of them, which makes people lose their curiosity.
"The matter of sending the envoy to Yelang Country must be postponed, and the anger of the people in Ba County has not subsided, and Yelang Country cannot go for the time being."
Erdan thought about it and didn't even understand what the public anger of Yelang Country had to do with Ba County, wasn't that all because of the death of a large number of people in road construction.
"Head of the family, there is no obvious connection between the two."
Zhang Yuan looked up at Zong Xing, Zong Xing was the smartest of the young people in the family, and this time he was beaten out to see the world, and he didn't know if he had grown up.
"Zongxing, tell me why I did this."
Zong Xing bit his lip and thought about it, and then analyzed it slowly.
"After those people were requisitioned, they all entered the Yelang country to build roads, and there was only one road from Ba County to Yelang country.
It stands to reason that the death of those people is a major event, and it is naturally impossible for Tang Meng to let the news spread to the three counties of Bashu.
And those people of the Huang clan are the initiators of this matter, it is even more impossible to spread the news, and it is impossible for the sergeants and soldiers to have no chance to return to Ba County, the only possibility is that the local people of Yelang Country saw it and spread it.
Southwest Yi is full of mountains and rivers, and there must be small roads in it that we don't know that can lead to the three counties of Bashu, and this is how the news should spread.
If the head of the family sent an envoy to the southwest when the people's anger did not subside, it would definitely be revealed, and you agreed to the people of Ba County in advance in order to calm the people's grievances in order to bring those people back, if you directly sent the envoy and did not fulfill the previous promise, it will definitely make the people of Ba County dissatisfied, and feel that the messenger of the Son of Heaven is not trustworthy.
You can not be true to your words, but the messenger of the Son of Heaven cannot. ”
Zhang Yuan looked at the head of Zongxing's analysis and nodded with satisfaction.
This has been the case in all dynasties, as long as people die because of these engineering accidents, the first thought of those direct leaders is to suppress them and conceal them.
Even if it spreads to the higher level, it will be the same at the higher level, and it is a sin to be lax in discipline.
Zhang Yuan experienced such an incident in his later life, when a friend's relatives built a wind power station, a group of more than a dozen workers rode in a van and rolled down the mountain road, and all of them died. 69 school bags
I thought I would see it on the news the next day, but there was no news, and in the end, I learned that the company in charge of the project paid to reach a deal with the families of the dead workers, and took the money to settle the matter, how sad it was.
I don't know how many people die every year because of forced labor, but who can dig out all these things, Zhang Yuan doesn't dare, others are disdainful, and those who have the ability to speak out They thought that these disasters were the fate of ordinary people.
"Zongxing is right, that's the truth.
The only person in the world who can't be sorry for the people is Your Majesty, who makes these people his people.
When those people go back, and the families who should get the compensation also get the compensation, the people of the three counties of Bashu will not care about the affairs of Yelang Country, whether we are going to Yelang Country or staying overnight, the people will no longer care. ”
Erdan nodded as if he didn't understand, as for whether he could learn something, Zhang Yuan didn't care.
That's what human nature is.
It's not about oneself to hang high, which is the normal state of human nature.
However, there will be some people in any era who will become heroes in people's mouths, and they are praised by the world precisely because of their selflessness.
People always think that it would be better to have more people who are selfless and selfless for the country and the people, but they have never thought about whether they want to become such people.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Zong Xing asked at Zhang Yuanfa.
"Let Li Jian Huo Zhong take those soldiers to make wooden boxes, the more the better, and when Tang Meng comes back, we can use it."
Erdan and Zong Xing didn't ask Zhang Yuan's intentions this time, they could see that Zhang Yuan's mood suddenly became a little depressed for some reason, and he withdrew from the military tent after clenching his fists.
Tang Meng still had 500 soldiers left in the Fu Pass, plus the people brought by Zhang Yuan when he came, more than 600 people started to cut down the trees in the surrounding mountains and forests and began to make wooden boxes.
As the number increased, Zhang Yuan did not let them stop the movements in their hands, and everyone gradually knew what Zhang Yuan wanted to do.
Zhang Yuan also sighed in his heart, wiping the emperor's ass is really not an easy job.
The three-day period soon arrived, and Tang Meng returned to Fuguan with tens of thousands of people as promised.
When Zhang Yuan saw these people, he was instantly stunned, he thought that there were 20,000 people who died in the people's husband, and there were more than 10,000 people left after a few thousand deaths, but now the Fu Pass was crowded, at least 30,000 people, Zhang Yuan knew why the people were angry.
That's to get a quarter of the labor force in the three counties.
"Lieutenant General Lang, why did it say that there were only more than 10,000 people in the recital presented to His Majesty, and what is going on now?"
Zhang Yuan scolded angrily, this must have nothing to do with Liu Che, it is obvious that he is doing things without Liu Che.
Tang Meng immediately knelt down and said to Zhang Yuan.
"Honorable envoy, it is true that there are only more than 10,000 people left before the chapter is presented to Your Majesty, and the sin general is worried that His Majesty will make a decree to stop building roads, so he wants to recruit more people and build the road in a short time, which is not a deception to the Son of Heaven."
Tang Meng's rhetoric didn't matter at all even if it was said to Liu Che, before the new will came down, Tang Meng did have the power to levy people's husbands.
