People who have their own ideas are always a little arrogant, before Zhou Wuxue was inevitably a little conceited, feeling that other students were not as smart as themselves, however, when he knew that the imperial court had already begun to actually operate the things he proposed, he realized that he was just a fledgling young man after all, and his ideas were not ahead of the court princes, and there was nothing to be proud of at all.

With this kind of comprehension, his eloquent momentum weakened in an instant, and Sun Xiangfu, who felt his obvious changes, knew that from now on, he should put himself in the position of humbly learning.

Someone wanted to learn, so he naturally wanted to find some opportunity to teach, and said again, "When we have a good idea, how to realize it is the embodiment of our political ability.

Not to mention, to really realize the situation like the one mentioned by Zhou just now to let the emperor take turns to govern in the four-sided capital, it needs to be solved, not only the problem of road traffic, you can imagine how difficult it is for the emperor to transmit a message to Lingnan thousands of miles away in the west of Broken Leaf City.

However, as long as we find the right direction and know where we can gradually solve this problem, we will be able to achieve it one day.

I listened to a lot of the suggestions you just said, and in general, as a student of Hongwenkan, you are still concerned about current affairs, which I am quite satisfied with, but what I learned in Hongwenkan is only some theoretical knowledge, which is not much different from the official training of the Ministry of Officials.

And when you go to the actual post, you will find that the theoretical knowledge that can be taught by words and deeds is only the basic knowledge that you must learn as an official, and how to stand out among the many officials and make superhuman political achievements, so as to sit in a higher position and truly realize the ambitions in your own hearts, you must rely on using your brains more, pondering more, and humbly asking your predecessors for advice.

There are many people here, all of whom have served as county magistrates or even higher-level local chiefs in multi-ethnic remote areas, and are your predecessors, and I will invite them to tell you about their experiences when they were in power, so that you can see the gap between reality and theory, and the gap between the past and the present, so that everyone can ponder more, in the future, our court officials, how to specifically govern which remote areas, so that the surrounding barbarians can gradually submit to the king. ”

The political system of Datang has already transformed from passively solving problems in the past to actively discovering and solving problems, making plans in advance, and making plans and plans in a few years, which is what all yamen have to do now, which makes all officials have to think with their brains and have ideas for the future.

Those people lack understanding and tolerance of the Han political system, and they do not have the idea of obedience to the emperor who they don't know at all, which will make all the officials sent to the minority areas first face a problem, how to gain their trust and make them listen to you.

Liu Yong took the lead in coming out under Sun Xiangfu's eyes, "You were talking about relocating people and changing customs and the like just now, but in fact, for those of us who have been officials in border areas, it's just a joke.

Do you know what the word 'barbarian' means?

I guess I don't understand, let me tell you about my experience as an official in Danzhou, and you will know what 'barbarian' is.

As we all know, there are three states on the entire island, and there are less than 20,000 aborigines, of which Danzhou has a population of about 5,000, distributed in seven or eight areas within a radius of two or three hundred miles, and is in a situation of tribal autonomy.

The so-called Danzhou City, is a small village fort built up by a sand and soil enclosure, it is said that this small fortress, or the first year of Zhenguan Sun Dudu went to the island after a trip, Feng Gong sent people to establish, the people who lived, but also Feng Gong sent more than 100 households to develop the coconut industry in the past, it is not good to say, a state city, not as good as a larger village in our Guanzhong, where is it called what state city.

After I took office in Danxian County, I found that there were coconut trees everywhere, not to mention processing them into expensive coconut sugar, but only responsible for picking, collecting, and transporting the people who gave them to Feng Gong and pulling them back to Guangzhou by boat for processing, and they could also earn a lot of wages, at least, more than most of the farmers in Guanzhong earned in the second year of Zhenguan.

When I, under the guidance of the coconut pickers left by Feng Gong on the island, went to various fangren and Yiren tribes, trying to persuade them to work together to build this industry, guess what happened? ”

"What happened?"

Many students were attracted by Liu Yong's story and asked in unison.

"When I first went to the first tribe, they kidnapped me. My official robe, official hat, fish charm, and even the crotch cloth were all robbed by them. ”

"Ahh No way! Robbing the court officials, don't those fangs want to live? Many scholars made up that picture in their brains and said a little depressed.

If they were also sent to such a place as officials, it would be tragic.

"Think about it, I'm a student of Hongwenguan, the seven-grade county order appointed by the imperial court, as soon as I arrived at the beginning of the year, I was picked up by others, and I didn't even have a fig leaf, what kind of mood is it, a great shame in life, nothing more than this!"

Many young students asked, "What happened?" ”

"So, when I went to look for them, I kept an eye on my heart and asked my companion who went with me to stay behind to see the situation, so my companion went back to report the news. Two days later, the sergeant under Duke Feng exchanged me with two bags of grain. ”

"And then?"

Since everyone saw Liu Yong, who was about to be added to the official position and went to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to do the state assassin history, they naturally knew that the peak circuit must have turned in the future, and they wanted to hear how Liu Yong turned around now.

"And then! I asked the soldiers under Duke Feng who exchanged me with food why the locals were like this. The lieutenant told me that many tribes of fangs were like this, and that all the people who entered their territory, or wild beasts, were their prey, and I was unlucky enough to be taken as prey by them, so they kept me there and fed me mosquitoes for two days, and gave me something like pig food every day.

Moreover, they also told me that Feng Gong had sent troops to take them all down and discipline them earlier, but it was useless, they only claimed the territory.

Later, Feng Gong didn't send officials here, because the faction was also a white faction, but from time to time, he sent them some rations, clothes and other things, but they were no longer so hostile to Feng Gong's subordinates, and they didn't dare to kill foreigners who entered their territory at will, so they could easily exchange me with two bags of grain.

And advise me not to provoke them in the future, these fangs have been like this for hundreds of years, unless you subdue them like wild beasts, with knives and guns, they will not communicate with us well. ”

"Then, I began to ponder, since Feng Gong sent them food, they all accepted it, so that they were no longer hostile to the people sent by Feng Gong, then, I also sent them things, will they no longer be hostile to me?"

So, unwilling to come back in such a gloomy way, I began to do it, of course, this is also because my official robe and fish talisman are still in their hands, and I want to get them back.

I first asked Gong Feng's subordinate to pull the coconut fleet and sent a few hundred stones of grain to Dan County. Each time, my servants and I carried a sack of grain to their tribes and gave it to them for free. So I only made five or six trips to each tribe, and in less than two months they were no longer hostile and robbing me, and every day they were looking forward to my passing.

Even, the fangman tribe who robbed me of my official robe and fish talisman in the first place also gave me back those things, these things, for them, they can't eat or drink, in fact, they don't have much use.

After that, I didn't send food, I put the food a little outside their territory, let their own people carry it back, and then, every time, I put it a little farther away, until one day, they carried the food, and when they carried it to the village and fort in Dan County, I entertained them with a table of rich and delicious food.

And then. They began to organize a group to come to the village fort to carry food, rub food and eat, because of the language barrier, our communication was very difficult, but gradually, we were able to understand some of the other party's meaning.

Soon, the hundreds of stones of grain were eaten by everyone, just right, Feng Gong's boat arrived in Danzhou to pull coconuts to deliver grain, they saw us hand over the coconuts to the people on the boat, and the people on the boat handed over bags of grain to me, and then the next day, I saw a mountain of coconuts outside the village fort. ”

"Is that okay?" Many students were almost overwhelmed by the experience told by Liu Yong, and opened their mouths one by one.

"Of course this doesn't work, I went to Danzhou to lead the people of Danzhou to become rich, to help the court civilize the barbarians and create wealth, how can I just use them as simple labor, just let them eat!"

As they came to the village fort to deliver coconuts more often, and ate more and more delicious food, they became more and more dissatisfied with their original life, and in a few months, I was able to communicate more with them through various gestures and movements, you may not know that due to the strong sense of territory, there are three or four languages that they themselves do not understand each other in the seven or eight tribes of Danzhou.

Later, after a period of time, I taught them to grow Champa rice, built houses that could resist the strong wind and rain on the island, and brought them out of the damp cave dwellings, and then, some villages were formed, and in order to exchange coconuts for more food, under my call, they learned from us to build many carts to transport coconuts, and in Dan County, built warehouses to store coconuts, and finally, built the wall high, forming a city comparable to the scale of a small county town in the Central Plains. And because they had to guard the coconuts they picked in the storehouses of the city, they gradually began to move out of their territory and live in the city.

When I came back at the beginning of the year, half of the population of each tribe in Danzhou lived in the city, so that the permanent population of this small county town reached more than 3,000 people.

A few days ago, Lingnan sent coconut candy to Guanzhong on the ship, I saw a boatman who often pulled coconuts in Danzhou, in his mouth, I learned that Danxian County can now produce a boat of coconut candy every two months, and it is a ship of 3,000 stones, the price of a pound of coconut candy can be sold for more than 100 wen in Chang'an, and a stone is at least 16 or 7 yuan, that is to say, the price of this boat of coconut sugar in Chang'an can almost reach 50,000 yuan, in addition to their wages, food, clothing and other aspects of the need for input, On average, they can create at least more than 10,000 net income for the Lingnan Governor's Mansion every month. In a year, that's more than 100,000 or 200,000! ”

Using thousands of uncivilized fangren people, creating nearly 100,000 yuan of income for the imperial court a year, how to say, this also seems to be an unrealistic story, however, it just happened, no wonder, the imperial court will promote all this a seven-grade county order, directly mentioned as the five-grade state assassin history, people, there is indeed such a merit, if you change a person who has a hot temper and does not like to use his brain to find a way to solve the problem to be this official, it is estimated that after being robbed, he will immediately come back and ask soldiers to destroy these fangren tribes.
