"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this."

Ulu stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

The rest of the tribal leaders who saw through the intentions of the Zhao people also stepped forward one after another, their faces full of irrepressible anger.

They originally thought that they would be able to enjoy wealth after surrendering to the Zhao people.

But now, the Zhao State actually wants to disperse the Huns, and then slowly assimilate into the Zhao people.

The power they have gained is closely related to the tribesmen, and without the backing of the tribesmen, these people's good days will come to an end.

That's why these tribal leaders reacted so violently.

Tou Man seemed to have expected the performance of the leaders of the various departments, but there was no panic on his face.

It wasn't until all the leaders had finished speaking their minds that Touman began to whisper to the leaders, "Everyone, please take a step to speak." ”

The leaders of the Huns looked puzzled, but they still abandoned everyone and came to a secluded place with Touman.

Touman looked around at the leaders of the Huns, looking at the high existence that he needed to look up at in the past, and now he actually showed nervous expressions, looking forward to what he was going to talk about, and suffering from gains and losses.

Tou Man suddenly felt that it was the right choice for him to kill Shan Yu and take the initiative to go to Zhao Guo's camp.

For Touman, he didn't care much about the interests of the Xiongnu tribes.

Even, even if he will become stronger, compared to his future, Touman doesn't care so much.

As long as he can ascend to a high position and look down on these once high-ranking tribal leaders, even if he changes his course to become a real Zhao person, even if he is a lackey of Gongzi Jia, Touman is willing.

The wolves on the steppe are all subservient to the strong and go to prey on the weak.

Forbearance, ambition, greed, bullying the weak and fearing the hard.

In Touman's temperament, these wolf natures are hidden.

"Chiefs, the reason why you speak alone is because there are many things that it is best not to let ordinary tribal warriors know."

"Gongzijia treats us and other Huns, and the way of dealing with them is also different."

"Especially as the leaders of the tribes, Gongzijia relies on you a lot, and in the future, I will have to rely on you a lot in order to settle the tribesmen."

Ulu was more anxious and asked, "That Gongzi Jia, what kind of preferential treatment do you have for us?" ”

Tou Man talked eloquently.

"As long as you help Gongzijia and move your respective tribes to Zhaodi, Gongzijia will not take any of the property that originally belonged to you in the tribe, and even if you live in Zhao in the future, you can be a rich man who has no worries about food and clothing."

Compared with the previous harsh requirements, this condition is undoubtedly much more generous.

It's just that these tribal leaders, as the former rulers of the tribe, are still a little dissatisfied with Zhao Jia's way of dealing with it.

What they need is not just possessions, but social status.

What's the use of having only possessions without corresponding social status?

As if seeing through everyone's thoughts, Touman continued: "Of course, that is only the first plan proposed by Gongzijia. ”

Ulu asked again: "What is the second option?" ”

Tou Man said with a smile: "The second plan requires you to hand over eighty percent of the tribe's property to Zhao Guo. ”

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.

Tou Man waved his hand, signaling everyone not to make a noise, and continued: "Zhao State will not take these treasures in vain, but will canonize different titles to the leaders according to the amount of property and the number of people from each tribe who have moved into Zhao Land. ”

"For example, the leader of Ulu, because the tribe under his jurisdiction is a large tribe, and the tribe has a lot of wealth, he can completely obtain the title of Zuo Shu Chief."

"Zuo Shuchang, isn't it the title of Qin State?"

When Ulu heard this, his face showed a look of confusion.

Tou Man said with a smile: "Gongzi Jia wants to emulate the Qin State and use the twentieth rank system, and Zuo Shu Chang is the tenth rank of the title, and his status is comparable to that of Zhao Guoxun. ”

"Not only will there be the title of Zuo Shu Chief, but the leader will also be assigned a hundred acres of fertile land and ten strong servants."

When Ulu heard this, his face looked better.

Although these rewards are not as good as controlling a large tribe alone, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Compared with those ordinary Huns, these rewards of Ulu can be regarded as very rich.

"The most important thing is that Gongzijia gives special preferential treatment to the leaders of the tribes, as well as the descendants of you, and each rank can obtain the qualification to recruit two hundred slaves."

"The left chief of the Ulu chief is a tenth-rank knighthood, and he can recruit two thousand slaves."

"For these two thousand slaves, the leader of the Ulu can let them reclaim the wasteland, and he can also let them join the army to help the prince fight everywhere, and the military exploits obtained can continue to improve the title of the leader of the Ulu."

Ulu's eyes brightened when he heard this.

He was already a little dead hearted, wanting to be a person with an idle title and enjoy his old age in Zhao Guo'an.

But I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing.

With the qualification of 2,000 slaves, that is, 2,000 subordinates can be conscripted, so many subordinates are comparable to all the warriors of small and medium-sized tribes.

In this way, although Ulu is not as brilliant as before, it can also have the treatment of small and medium-sized tribal leaders in the territory of Zhao State.

Soon, however, Ulu asked, "I don't know where the slaves came from, and where did the money come from to raise them?" ”

Tou Man said with a smile: "Slaves, they can't be Zhao people, nor can they be people from the Xiongnu tribes who surrendered, they can only be those Xiongnu tribes who are unwilling to surrender and resist the Zhao State, or Lin Hu, Yueshi, or even people from other countries." ”

"As for money and food, the chieftains of the Ulu can make these men serve in their spare time, and these slaves in wartime."

"In the service of conscription, the government will not only take care of the food, but also pay the wages of these slaves; Military service also takes care of the food, and counts the exploits of these slaves. ”

"The wages and war exploits obtained by slaves, the leader can take half of the data as his own, if the slave saves enough money to redeem himself, or accumulates enough military exploits, he can get rid of the slave status and become a Zhao person."

"At that time, the chiefs either spent a lot of money to hire these people and continue to serve under their command, or restored these people to their freedom, and continued to plunder slaves from other means."

"Of course, if the leader has enough money and food, he can feed two thousand slaves alone, or lead these slaves to plunder money and population, and the money leader can keep all of them, but the population needs to be handed over to the government in exchange for war exploits and rewards."

"It's just that the slaves owned by the chief are not allowed to go out alone, they can only fight with the army, and the government will assign tasks, otherwise they will be punished as rebellion."

Touman spoke a lot in detail, and it also painted a new future in front of the eyes of all the tribal leaders.

That is, to obtain slaves through war, and then use these slaves to help them make money, or to obtain war exploits.

As for the money needed to support these slaves, the tribal leaders did not have to worry about it.

They could have handed over their slaves to the government, and the government would take care of the food.

Of course, Touman did not speak in such detail, and it was impossible for Zhao Jia to inform the tribal leaders of all the details through Touman's mouth.

Now, after the Shang Dynasty reform and the governance of several generations of Ming monarchs, the Qin State has completely crushed the six Kwantung countries in the system.

If Zhao Jia wants to learn from the Qin State, even if it takes a long time to change the law, it will be difficult to surpass the current Qin State.

What's more, the system of the Qin State was not suitable for the Zhao State at all.

If Zhao Jia wants to follow the rules, not only will he follow the example of the east, but he will not become an anti-dog, and it may even cause civil strife in Zhao, and then accelerate the demise of Zhao.

Zhao Jia's strategy now draws on the external expansion of later capitalism.

What is the desire to expand?

Endless capital and wealth, and those meritorious titles at your fingertips.

Although Zhao Jia has a lot of knowledge far beyond this world, the land of Shenqi he owns is sparsely populated, scarce in materials, and even not rich in food.

If it is done step by step, it will be a long and difficult thing for Zhao Jia to make the land of Shenqi rise quickly.

Even if a million people are migrated to the land of Shenqi, it is extremely difficult for Zhao Jia to feed these people and then digest these people.

Ponder over.

Zhao Jia finally thought of the fastest way to develop the land of Shenqi, that is, bloody exploitation and plunder.

How to exploit?

Of course, it is impossible to exploit the Zhao people, let alone the people of Shenqi, nor can they exploit the Huns who surrendered to the Zhao state.

On the contrary, it is necessary to let these people obtain practical benefits and tie them firmly to Zhao Jia's chariot.

Only in this way can these people be willing to die for Zhao Jia, so that the Huns can truly integrate into the Zhao people.

Zhao Jia came to this era, not just to unify the world.

He prefers to let Huaxia take the initiative to integrate all ethnic groups and become the most powerful race in the world, rather than being destroyed by nomads several times in history, and then passively carrying out ethnic integration.

In fact, in Zhao Jia's view, it is not fusion, but shame.

Compared with China, which greatly promoted Confucianism in later generations, today's Zhao State is more open and the atmosphere is closer to that of nomads.

In this way, the difficulty of national integration is greatly reduced.

Exploitation is naturally to exploit Donghu, Linhu, Yueshi, and all kinds of nomadic people in the north.

These nomads are like seaweed floating on the sea, and it is very difficult to exterminate them all.

Forcibly waging war, the soldiers also lack interest and do not have much motivation.

In this era, both food production and transportation capacity are far inferior to those of later generations.

Don't say anything else.

The complex and harsh terrain outside the Saiwai alone, as well as the long transportation and supply lines, were enough to drag the entire Zhao Kingdom down.

It was with these in mind that Zhao Jia wanted to use the title, as well as the money and slaves of the various tribes outside the Saiwai as bait, so that these tribal leaders could explore the Saiwai on their own.

Of course, Zhao Jia is not so naïve.

If these tribal leaders are allowed to develop, they may not be able to lose their tails in the future, and they must be restrained.

Slaves were raised by officials, and slaves could be redeemed with money and merits, and slaves had to be purchased from the government, which became the basis for binding the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes, as if a tight spell was put on these people's heads.

In addition, Zhao Jia also had many unspoken tricks that were enough to restrain these tribal leaders.

When necessary, Zhao Jia will even do whatever it takes to do the bird's best to hide the bow.

To be more precise, it should be hunted with hounds first, and when the prey is caught, or when the hound is fat enough, the hound can be killed and then eaten by its meat.

Zhao Jia will not have much psychological burden on these people, let alone the so-called feelings of the Virgin, or the kindness of women.

After owning slaves, these tribal leaders were naturally unwilling to be lonely for the sake of money and titles.

Even if they didn't have great ambitions, Zhao Jia would use all kinds of means to spur these tribal leaders and send his slaves to various places to investigate.

In Zhao Jia's conception, the Xiongnu leaders had to spend a lot of money and hire regular generals to lead slaves on the expedition.

Alternatively, the Xiongnu leaders could also spend a lot of money to hire a caravan of Zhao and lead their slaves to export the cheap goods from Shenqi to Donghu, Linhu, Yueshi, the Korean Peninsula, and even the countries of the Western Regions.

The Xiongnu leaders will account for the majority of the trade proceeds, and will naturally bear the greatest risks.

Whether the goods were robbed or the slaves were killed in battle, it was a risk for these Hun leaders.

Of course, the expansion of capitalism is accompanied by incomparably huge profits and huge risks, and it is precisely because of these Xiongnu leaders as risk-bearers that the pressure on the government will be reduced.

What the government had to do was to exploit the property of the various tribes outside the Cypriot region through trade, and in the process of trade, to gain a deeper understanding of the tribes outside the Cypriot region.

The reason why these Xiongnu leaders, rather than the Zhao people, were used to do these things was because the status of the merchants was not high, and many Zhao nobles would have a rejection mentality.

In comparison, the Huns were much more casual.

They are like greedy hyenas, as long as they are profitable, even if they encounter a powerful lion pack, they dare to snatch the prey in the hands of the other party.

This type of person is more aggressive.

Once they get substantial benefits, even if they don't have Zhao Jia behind them, they will try their best to exploit and plunder.

When exploitation reaches a certain level, or when the other side refuses to be exploited by trade, it is the time to start a war.

At that time, without Zhao Jia's personal intervention, these Xiongnu leaders would also be willing to unite to pull out their respective slaves and wage war for the sake of wealth and slaves.

When these people start a war, they naturally have to bear the risk of defeat and the money and food they need to go to the outside of the country.

All Zhao Jia had to do was to send lieutenant generals and some regular troops to assist these Huns in waging war.

Of course, these are all plans for the future.

Now the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes are still suspicious, and even if they are knighted for merit, they have no slaves under their command.

Zhao Jia is now tying these leaders of the Huns to his chariot.

As long as the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes are truly subdued, Zhao State is equivalent to an additional 100,000 fierce and combatable soldiers, and an additional population of nearly 500,000.

Is it difficult to subdue them?

It's hard to say, these people used to be the patriarch of a clan after all, and they had a huge amount of power to divide one side.

Suddenly becoming prisoners, these people have no ideas in their minds, it is impossible.

It's easy to say, but it's actually easy.

Sugar-coated cannonballs can always corrupt people's hearts more than swords, guns, swords, and halberds.

When these people get used to the luxurious life in the land of Shenqi, they will find that even if they were tribal leaders before, they still do not have the comfort of living in the Zhao Kingdom.

For those who are willing to corrupt and degenerate, Zhao Jia will naturally entrust them to reuse, and for those who are still ambitious, they can only be killed secretly.
