Carrying the iron hoe, out of the dark mine, just at the door of the mine, there were a few soldiers, one by one to take the iron hoe in the hands of everyone, this is the custom, especially after the previous many indigenous rebellions, even more so, for all their daily necessities, the supervision is very strict, the sluggish look of the laborer walked to the door, about to hand over the iron hoe in his hand.

The guard smiled, waved his hand, and said in a broken native language, "Take away!" Yours up! ”

The laborer looked at the soldier in front of him in surprise, and for a while he didn't know how to do it, in fact, he was also afraid in his heart, taking this thing out, he would not be arrested halfway, seeing that they were still hesitating, the soldiers were no longer polite, and pushed him out directly, the laborer looked at the iron hoe in his hand, and walked on the road with some anxiety.

This kind of thing happened in almost every mine cave in Jianning Changdao, this is the second day after Yuan Yao arrived here, the laborers have obviously felt a different situation from before, perhaps trust, take the iron hoe in their hands, and return to their respective residences, they suddenly found that there were many fewer soldiers who had been patrolling around.

They all lived in a dilapidated house with a group of fifteen people, when the gang brought the food, these people were even more shocked, no one dared to say more, no one dared to say anything, they just looked at the food in their hands, their expressions were still numb, when everyone was eating, Yuan Yao took Ling Tong to walk on the road, looking at these people seriously.

"Yuan Jun... Your strategy doesn't seem to be working..."

Ling Tong shook his head, if it weren't for Yuan Yao's previous time as the county commander, he had indeed made good achievements, and now he might not be able to help Yuan Yao, in the entire overseas, Yuan Yao's supporters are very few, most of them are against him, because of the reason of the metropolitan governor, he didn't say anything more in front of him, but in secret, there are still many people waiting to see Yuan Yao's jokes.

These people's ideas are very clear, to deal with these natives, there is no need to engage in any promotion system, nor do they have to engage in any care, as long as the means are strict enough, they can ensure their obedience, of course, there are also proposals to implement the caste system of Guishan here, most of the governors ignore them, but have a soft policy for Yuan Yao, a hairy boy, which naturally makes these people extremely dissatisfied with Yuan Yao.

Ling Tong asked, of course, it was not a mockery, and there was absolutely no sarcasm, his relationship with Yuan Yao was really good, and he was also a little worried in his heart, Jianning Changdao is one of the largest islands overseas, and the gold mine here is also the most important industry in overseas provinces, and there are more than 200,000 indigenous people on this island.

If it is messed up, this is not a trivial matter, but I am afraid that no matter how big Yuan Yao's background is, he will not be able to hold it.

However, Yuan Yao was unusually calm, not panicked at all, smiled, and said, "How can it not work?" Wait, the people I want haven't arrived yet, and when they arrive, the situation here will be much better, and in a year's time, I can guarantee that this place will change dramatically, you know..."

"One of my teachers once told me that the best way to whip a horse, no matter what kind of horse, will get rid of the reins, is to feed the horse a mouthful of grass every time it arrives at a destination, so that he is satisfied, in order to eat the grass, you don't need to whip, it will run wild... As long as we can control this degree..."

Ling Tong frowned, he didn't know why the young man next to him was so confident, so calm, he didn't look like a hairy boy in his twenties at all, the temperament on his body seemed to be those big people who had gone through the vicissitudes of the temple, there was a convincing quality, Ling Tong gradually became relieved, Yuan Yao was not in a hurry, why was he in a hurry here?

"However, if you don't confiscate their tools, listen to Yuan Jun's meaning, it seems that you still want them to build their own houses... Is there really no problem with making management more relaxed? What if something happens? ”

"What? The thousands of elite soldiers under the command of the general can't deal with these hoe-wielding ones? ”

"It's not, but if something happens, I'm afraid that the Metropolitan Governor will blame it."

"Don't worry, the management is gradually relaxed, not for everyone, isn't it today and start recording their work? For those who are hardworking and obedient, feed them a mouthful of grass first, and let them distance themselves from the ordinary natives, so that everyone can see a momentum to move forward for a year, not to mention, this can also let their own people look at their own people, do you believe it? Soon, there will be a group of natives who speak Yayan to help us. ”

Yuan Yao smiled, and Ling Tong asked in disbelief, "They are of the same origin, how can they come to help us?" ”

"Hahaha, Ling Jun, don't be like those short-sighted people, what we are doing in Jianning Changdao now is also a major matter that is not inferior to the law, if it can be successful, the Han Dynasty will use our current policy for hundreds of years... Raze to raze... My game of chess is very big, not just the little point you see now, we cooperate sincerely, it only takes a year, Ling Jun will understand me. ”

Ling Tong smiled helplessly and said, "You don't need Yuan Jun to say more, when did I not help you?" The young gentleman has something, although he commands... I will do so under the order. Yuan Yao laughed, and then said: "If that's the case, then bother Ling Jun to run around Jianning Changdao with me, lest some stupid things will ruin our big things." ”

"Okay, so what's going on here... What to do? ”

"In terms of garrison, it is natural to leave confidants, and as for government affairs, I don't bother others to interfere, I have transferred some aborigines who have been taught, and let them take up posts in various places, just hang up the post of county order, and they don't have to do anything, just take care of those natives..."

Ling Tong nodded.

Yuan Yao spent a lot of thought when he served as a county magistrate overseas in the past, which was roughly not much different from the governance of Jianning, and many of them were explored at that time, where Yuan Yao learned the indigenous language, and at the same time, he gathered a group of loyal and obedient natives and sent people to teach them to speak elegant dialects, learn customs and etiquette, and so on.

Ling Tong didn't know why this was at the time, but it wasn't until today that he heard Yuan Yao's words that he understood with some horror, this kid started preparing for this time a year ago, and now the young people are so powerful? He wanted to speak and stopped, and after a moment of entanglement, he still asked the question he had been asking all along, "Yuan Jun, who is your master?" ”

"Master? I have a lot of teachers... However, the one who taught me the longest is now in a high position in the temple. Yuan Yao replied with a smile.

"High position? Which servant is it? Ling Tong asked suspiciously.

Yuan Yao smiled and said nothing.

So, after a few days like this, there was still no change, but when the group of natives that Yuan Yao wanted arrived here and became local officials, everything changed dramatically, and the natives were shocked to see their own people, who had become officials of the Han Dynasty, looking at the brand-new robes on their bodies, looking at their arrogant appearance, and watching them chatting with those high-ranking Han people.

They were shocked, especially after these people began to govern them, and they no longer dared to complain in private, because the official could understand the invectives and grievances.

However, they still failed to bring much hope to the indigenous laborers, after all, they seemed to be out of reach, they did not know if they had such a day, but after half a month, when these indigenous officials found among them some of the hardest working and honest laborers on weekdays, and allowed them to build their own houses, gave them support, and even the food was different from theirs, they had hope in their eyes.

It turns out that they can also change themselves through hard work, so will it be themselves who will be the next to get the privilege?

The natives who had obtained the privileges, after gaining status and wealth, not only worked harder, but even had some disdain for their former companions, and they followed these officials to learn Yayan, and a few even put on long robes, and occasionally wore them out, and walked around the mines in the indigenous settlements, facing the jealous and envious eyes of everyone.

Subsequently, Yuan Yao issued a second policy, the system of continuous sitting, in which every one of the fifteen people made a mistake, and the rest would be cut off from leading the way for promotion, and after this decree was issued, the soldiers were surprised to find that they needed to do it themselves to maintain order and supervise the people, and every day, someone would denounce their companions, so they would be promoted.

Nowadays, no one has gained the power to become a commoner, but just by relying on a little preferential treatment, Yuan Yao has successfully planted hope in the hearts of everyone, as long as there is a privilege, it will definitely cause a whole division, even if he does not dare to mention it on the surface, in secret, this division still exists, even if it is a fair promotion system.

Ling Tong was the first to notice the difference, he inspected the various areas of Jianning Long Island, and saw that these people gradually had hope in their eyes, and they worked harder, they no longer seemed to need whipping, they had already begun to gallop in order to eat a bite of grass, and for those of the same kind who wanted to pull them back, they did not have the slightest mercy, and directly used it as a springboard.

In just two months, the originally united natives were falling apart, full of suspicion of each other, and full of the upper and lower classes brought about by class division.

This made those who were waiting to see Yuan Yao's jokes wide-eyed and confused, why is this happening? ?
