Chapter 0875 - Living Up to the Prestige

Fifteen years of Yankang, at the end of the year

Dahan Overseas Jianning Long Island.

Jianning Long Island is not an isolated island, nor has it been isolated overseas, he is an island connected with the Han Dynasty, in the southwest of Jiaozhou, there were two small countries, one is called Funan, one is called Zhenla, and during the Xiping period, Emperor Yizong Xiaoxian took the silent Liu Gong as the envoy, sent two countries, to feudal states, made the prime minister, and incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and then Liu Gong was the history of Jiaozhou Thorn, Jiaozhou Dazhi, and the same is true of these two countries.

Liu Gong was born a barbarian, so he failed to come to the core of the temple, but when he was a local official, he still did a particularly good job, because Jiaozhou is barbarian, they are all wild people in the mountains and forests, they don't know how to educate, they don't know ethics, Liu Gong doesn't look down on them like others, and he doesn't despise them in his heart, Liu Gong, who has the same background as them, tries his best to let them live a good life, at least better than his life in Ningzhou.

He promoted countless talents, opened trade, cultivated land, and brought all his farming methods in the north here, Jiaozhou, which has always been despised, but because of this, it has its own glory, the land here is very suitable for farming, and after obtaining advanced farming technology, Jiaozhou has become more and more prosperous after obtaining a kind and patient history of catching chickens and thorns and not discriminating against barbarians.

Liu Gong came to the bottom many times, and soon learned many local languages, taught Han law for these people, let them learn Han culture, he opened a lot of official schools, the whole Jiaozhou, actually opened a full sixty-eight official schools, and made every effort to obtain talents from the Central Plains, as long as they can read and write, Liu Gong is very good, hoping that these people can change the situation in Jiaozhou.

It is not limited to Jiaozhou, in Funan and Zhenla, Liu Gong broke the connection between Jiaozhou and these two regions, and did not regard these people as flood beasts, in these two countries, he also opened a lot of official schools, and even, Jiaozhou also has its own university, called Xianglin Academy, Liu Gong convened a large number of local bachelors and celebrities, and allowed anyone who has the heart to study, to go here to study.

His achievements in Jiaozhou are not small, now, in the southwest of the entire Han Dynasty, you can often see a huge statue wearing a coarse coat, shaped like a floating slaughter, but there is no temple, just standing in the center of several cities, the former Xianglin Academy, now called Donghao Academy, Donghao County is obviously in the northeast, why a local academy in the southwest is called this name, few people know.

Just around the two countries in the southwest, there are some small states, here has not yet been able to form a unified country, the most common here is some elephants, Jiaozhou's influence has spread to here, but from here further west, is some poisonous gas filled with primeval forests, Jiaozhou sent a team stopped here, several times of advance, but also failed to harvest, but, according to the local indigenous language, and then to the west, it is possible to reach the Kushan Empire.

Just below this vast area, there is a long island that stretches out of the way, like a snake's head poking out of the sea from a continent, which is called Jianning Long Island.

There are not many indigenous people on Jianning Long Island, but compared to the coastal land in his north, Long Island is more suitable for farming, especially at the end of Long Island, that is, the southernmost position, there are a lot of minerals, and even gold exists here.

However, there are still some small islands around Jianning Long Island, and these islands are completely under the management of Jianning Long Island.

In the southernmost port of Jianning Long Island, Ling Tong, who had only become a garrison on the whole long island not long ago, was standing here, looking into the distance in a little panic, and behind him, a group of ragged laborers looked into the distance numbly, and around them, there were hundreds of soldiers, shuttling back and forth among them, and the laborers were probably thousands, all of whom were responsible for mining here.

Although they are all young and strong, they don't have any spirit in their bodies, they are decadent and sluggish, and they are not human.

Why did the garrison gather them here, they don't know, they heard that a big official is coming, of course, the soldiers here are very clear, they cheered up, their armor and swords have been brushed countless times, they look extraordinarily elite, they have all heard that the little governor is coming! The so-called Metropolitan Governor is a pronoun for the ministers who administer the islands overseas, and now the overseas metropolitan governor is none other than the Zhou servant of the overseas government.

In addition to him, there were three governors, who ruled over Jianning Changdao, Xiping Island, and Yankang Islands.

And this governor in charge of Jianning Changdao, I heard that he was born in a big family, and has a relationship with the governor of the capital, some time ago he served as the county commander, and then he was constantly promoted because of his merits, and at this time he was promoted to the governor of Jianning Changdao, and he is not very old, so he is called the small governor.

Even the very steady garrison Ling Tong on weekdays was a little flustered at this moment, I heard that he had worked with the little governor, and I don't know what the relationship between the two was, everyone waited like this, and after a long time, they saw a fleet, which was driving towards the port, and the beginning was a huge car and ship, and everyone who saw it was amazed.

Ling Tong greeted him, and the soldiers also saw the legendary little governor, who was really young, but wearing an official uniform and a long sword, his expression was very solemn, Yuan Yao chatted with Ling Tong, and slowly walked towards them.

"Knowing that the governor is coming, I will lead the soldiers and people of Jianning Changdao South County to greet ...", Ling Tong said with a smile, Yuan Yao nodded, and came to the front of many soldiers, the soldiers tried their best to make themselves look more energetic, raised their heads high, Yuan Yao was obviously very satisfied with them, and said with a smile: "You did a good job, very good, very good, these are the warriors of the Han Dynasty!" ”

"Someone! Enjoy the warrior's wine and meat! Yuan Yao commanded, and suddenly someone rushed onto the car and ship and began to carry it, and many soldiers looked at it happily and hurriedly shouted: "Thank you Dudu!" ”

Yuan Yao nodded with satisfaction, and those laborers were startled when they heard this roar, and looked at Ling Tong and Yuan Yao in the distance in horror, Yuan Yao noticed them, Yuan Yao stepped forward, looked at these laborers in front of him, his face became more and more unkind, and he suddenly shouted: "Ling Tong? What's going on? Why don't they have winter clothes? Looks so thin?? But you mistreated them? ”

"The subordinates don't dare! It's not too cold in winter, so they weren't prepared, and besides, they're already short and thin..."

"Shut up!! It's clear that you don't manage it well!! Could it be that these are not the people of my Han Dynasty? How dare you treat them like this?! Yuan Yao shouted angrily, Ling Tong lowered his head, but he didn't dare to speak, Yuan Yao looked at the many laborers in front of him, and said in a proficient local language: "Everyone! I'll be the chief of this place from now on! ”

Hearing Yuan Yao's voice, the laborers were shocked, they had never seen an official who could speak to them, they raised their heads one after another, looked at the strange young man in front of them, Yuan Yao had a straight face, and said solemnly: "I am here to educate you, the chief here treats you badly, I will take care of him, you can rest assured!" ”

"I came this time, there is good news to bring you, my Han Emperor, I can't bear to see you suffer, so I set up a law, in the future, as long as you can cultivate more land, weave, and mine more for the Han, as long as you have merit, you can be promoted, become the people of my Han, go to the hinterland of my Han, enjoy wealth, you can have your own money, land, wife..."

The natives were in an uproar, looking at the young man in front of them in shock, but they still didn't dare to speak.

"I won't deceive you, farm hard, as long as you farm for three years and are proficient in Yayan, you can go to Jiaozhou! Of course, if you want to stay here, you can also enjoy the treatment of the Han people! Yuan Yao said loudly, the soldiers looked at Yuan Yao a little strangely, they couldn't understand what Yuan Yao was saying, the governor could actually speak the bird language here? It's incredible.

Ling Tong stood behind him, bowing his head aggrievedly.

The soldiers couldn't understand Yuan Yao's words, but they found that the natives around them began to get excited, and some even cried bitterly, kneeling towards Yuan Yao and begging for mercy.

"How can this governor speak the language of birds?"

"How do I know what he's talking about?"

"It seems that these people are going to be cut down, this governor is also cruel enough, you see these natives are scared, they all cry, and there are kneeling begging for mercy, later, the governor will let us do it, just do it quickly, don't lose our face..."

"But they are mining and digging well, what are they doing?"

"Who knows what kind of character the northerners are, it can't be this kind of killing for fun."

Yuan Yao finally finished speaking, then he looked at the soldiers and ordered, "Take these people back!" Remember, don't beat them! Don't bully them! Violators will be punished heavily! The soldiers took the order, took these people back to their residences, and watched them leave one by one, until there was no one around, Ling Tong straightened up and asked with a smile: "Did the Metropolitan Governor agree to Yuan Jun's proposal?" ”

Yuan Yao shook his head, there was still a little annoyance on his face, and said gently: "Just let me try it on Jianning Changdao to see how it works, if it's okay, it can be implemented in the entire overseas, and now overseas supports the treasury of the Han Dynasty, and it is impossible for my brother to mess around... I'm here to try the effect...."

"But I don't think these people believe much... Is it necessary to set up a few more bureaus and punish a few soldiers? ”

"No, they just haven't gone to school, and they're not stupid, how can they not see through such a simple strategy?"

"What does Yuan Jun mean?"

"Starting tomorrow, give them two meals, some more dishes, give the soldiers a few more commands, and be gentle with them in the future... As long as a little change and improvement can completely destroy their defenses and distrust...", Yuan Yao squinted his eyes and said coldly.

Ling Tong looked at the young gentleman on the side in surprise, and couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaim:

"It's really worthy of Yuan Yufan!"
