Hundreds of thousands of captives, if they are put in Dongwu, it will not be too easy. Hundreds or thousands of families, large and small, each family divided into hundreds of thousands of people and digested them all. As for the newly assigned thousands, when they arrived at the manor, they refused to be serfs honestly? Hum! The big family of Soochow, which family does not have hundreds or thousands of private soldiers in their hands? If you dare to be honest, you will die for me!

But Shu Han can't do this, Shu Han, who insists on the self-farming economy as the main body, is too late to suppress the family, how can it be possible to divide these people to the family? Besides, haven't you seen the performance of the Yizhou family in this war? When Lao Tzu frees his hands, he wants to purge and kill people, how can he give them people?

So, what to do? Easy to do!

"Before Yi set out from Xindu, regarding the more than 20,000 captives on the battlefield of Xindu, he had suggested that Shangshutai make such arrangements...... Therefore, Yi means that the 40,000 people in the captives of Yang'an Pass will also be dealt with with the same way. Ten people were placed in each pavilion in Ba Wu County, and they were given land to make them self-cultivated farmers of our Han Dynasty. ”

To tell the truth, the group of people sitting here, except for the team brought by Guan Yi from Fuling County and Jiangyang County, the rest of the people are all stronger than political strategy. But it is precisely because these people have been dealing with Cao Wei for a long time that it is clearer: although the exploitation of yeoman farmers by Shu Han is cruel, it is very gentle compared to Cao Wei, who still partially implements the tuntian system - Cao Wei has very few yeoman farmers, and ordinary farmers rarely own their own land. Therefore, although these 40,000 people are not here because their families are not here, they may have some other thoughts in a short time. But it will only take a year at most, and they will be very happy to become the people of Shu Han - farmers, who have been thinking about it all their lives in order to have their own land.

"Good!" "Yes!"

"Okay, let's talk about the 90,000 Wei troops." A touch of blood also appeared on Guan Yi's pale face at this time: "In Yi's Fuling County, various industries are in the ascendant, and there is a great shortage of manpower. It can accommodate 10,000 people! ”

10,000 people is almost the current limit of Fuling County. Because although the pig industry chain in Fuling County is getting bigger and bigger, Guan Yi wants to leave more employment opportunities to the Bizka in Wuling Mountain. Those people are one of his basic plates.

Then Guan Yi said to Zhang Zun: "How much can you eat in your Zigong Pavilion?" ”

"Well, this time, the salt workers of my Jiangyang County lost more than 2,000 people and seriously injured more than 2,000 people. If all the remaining 5,000 people return to Zigong Pavilion to maintain stability, they can eat 10,000 people! ”

Yes, the salt workers' gun array had to be rebuilt, and the production of salt in Zigongjing after this campaign was not only a matter of restoration, but also of expansion. A large number of lean laborers are required. But it can't eat them all—or the saltmen and lancers won't be able to hold them down.

"Well, that's 70,000 left. I mean, sell 50,000 of them to Soochow! ”

"Huh? What? Sell to Wu Dog? Can they eat? ”

Why can't they eat it, they will only be too little. These 50,000 people, if they were not afraid of causing the Dongwu Emperor to be uneasy, the Jingzhou landowners represented by Bu Xie alone could eat them all.

Among the people present, Huo Yi has been in Nanzhong for a long time, which borders the Jiaozhou of Soochow, and can be regarded as knowing some of the inside information of Soochow. So he opened his mouth and asked: "Zifeng, of course you can sell it to Dongwu, but how to calculate the price?" ”

"Huh~~~ What I sold to them is strong. There is strength in plowing the fields, and it is also powerful in fighting when necessary. How can they pay more for such a good thing, right? I'm not greedy, a Wei army surrendered, and they exchanged one and a half Shanyue people for it. At the same time, it is responsible for all the expenses of the turnover and resettlement of these hundreds of thousands of people. ”

"Okay, this Shanyue people have come to our Han and have their own land, so they must be grateful to us. And Zifeng, if you want to change, you must want those Shanyue people to enter my big man one by one, right? ”

"Hahaha, what Shao Xiangong said is exact!"

"Good! I didn't expect that there would be such a way, and in this way, my Han will add another 70,000 or 80,000 yeoman farmers. It will be a great supplement to our national strength. ”

Hmph, what is seventy or eighty thousand, when Lao Tzu is done with this pile of, he will return to the CD and start cleaning the family that collaborated with the enemy and treasoned the country, and when the time comes, destroy their manor and release their house slaves, so that there will be no more than 100,000 people in one round, I have your surname!

"Uh, Zifeng, what about 20,000?"

"Well, the general, Wang Jianjun, you two eat 5,000 each, and it's no problem to turn them into our soldiers on the spot, right?"

Jiang Wei and Wang Han pondered for a while after hearing this suggestion. After a while, Jiang Wei spoke: "My mobile corps can eat five thousand, but it can only be the Luoyang Chinese Army, not the Yongzhou Army." ”

And Wang Han also agreed: "This, General Zuo, there are only more than 7,000 people in the Hanzhong Corps now, and you can't swallow 5,000." Eat up to 2,000 people. And it can only be the Luoyang Chinese Army, not the Yongzhou Army. ”

"Eh, Wang Jianjun, this is what Yi will be ready to say. Since you mentioned it, I'll start with that. This time, all the 5,000 feather forests brought by Shao Xiangong did not go back for the time being, and were incorporated into the Hanzhong Corps on the spot. ”

"Then the Hanzhong Corps was restored to 12,000 men...... Even so, eating five thousand is still too much. Three thousand people at most, no more. ”

"Okay, then three thousand. So there are 12,000 left......"

"Zifeng, do you want to sell it to Dongwu again?"

"Hehehe, Shao Xiangong. These people, I'm going to let you take them back to Nanzhong. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fear that you would have too few people in the Nanzhong Corps, I really want all these 90,000 people to go to Nanzhong with you. ”

"Huh? There are a total of 5,000 people in our Nanzhong Corps, and the losses in this battle are nearly 1,000. How is it possible to eat so much? ”

Hehehe, because, you have good things there.

In the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, what industry could best accept a large number of laborers. There's only one answer: mining!

And in this day and age, what mine makes the most money? Undoubtedly, is there anything more profitable than the mining of copper, the main raw material of the currency?

In this most fertile land on the East Asian continent occupied by the Huaxia people, there has always been a lot of copper mines, but the bad thing is that it is not very evenly distributed, and it is centrally distributed. Among the seven major copper ore distribution belts in Jiangxi, Northeast China, Shanxi, Gansu, Anhui, Zhongtiao Mountain and Yunnan, only the Yunnan copper ore belt (Yunnan County and Jianning County among the seven counties in Nanzhong) is actually controlled by Shu Han.

"Zifeng, there is indeed copper in Nanzhong, but the distribution is too scattered, and the output of each mine is limited, so many people go to ......"

"Hehehe, Shao Xiangong, we can do this. Let these 12,000 troops be divided into groups of six or ten, and they will be mined in different mines. Then the family of my Han Dynasty signed a purchase agreement with it. Surrender troops are responsible for mining and selling. My Han family is responsible for purchasing and transporting. The state is responsible for minting coins. As long as there is the first time, the hearts of these soldiers will be settled! Moreover, it is to let these soldiers compete with each other, and then they will naturally not be able to hold a group, and then Shao Xiangong can sit back and relax! ”

"Huh? There is such a clever trick. Okay, that Zifeng, can you give a few more prisoners? ”

, you dead old man. In this era, although money and food are equally important, food is the foundation of everything. There are a lot of people there, not to mention the problem that it is easy to rebel if it is not diluted well. The point is that there are fewer prisoners of war on my side who will be exchanged for peasants, who will farm for me? Also, the right to purchase this copper mine is the cake that I will throw out to appease another group of Yizhou families after killing a group of Yizhou families in the future - in this era, I can't be the enemy of all the families, I am asking for my own death! I can't let the Maison control the land and the population, I have to let them control the money – and when they have it, they will find a way to spend it. Where to spend it? If you can't find a place in the country, you will naturally become aggressive and willing to support the Northern Expedition!

However, they can't have too much money in their hands, so they can't do too much labor for copper mining.

"Okay, let's deal with the prisoners like this. Next, let's talk about the whereabouts of our armies. General? ”

Just now, he had been silently watching Guan Yi pointing out the country there, Jiang Wei only felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart: everyone had been discussing the problem for two days and couldn't find a solution, and as soon as he woke up, he immediately turned the problem into a good thing that was profitable for everyone. It's no wonder that when everyone was arguing two days ago, the officials of the revival department were not flustered at all - anyway, the boss woke up and could solve anything. This has been confirmed by many years of experience.

Therefore, when Guan Yi asked him to issue a military order, he came again: "What does Zifeng mean?" ”

Guan Yi was not polite to Jiang Wei's inquiry, after all, he is actually very dangerous now, and if many things are not arranged well, he will die a miserable death. Therefore, even if Jiang Wei really gave the order first, if it was not in line with his wishes, he would fight for it on the basis of reason.

"The King of the Northland, the Great General, the General of Annam, all my colleagues. Yi has a little shallow opinion, please correct. Guan Yi stood up and saluted everyone first: "Yi thinks that after we win this battle, if Sima Zhao hadn't gone crazy, he wouldn't have sent troops to attack again in a short time." But we still have to make some preparations. Therefore, Yi wanted to integrate the 5,000 feather forests brought by General Annan into the Hanzhong Army on the spot. Then he asked Wang Jianjun, Jiang Hujun, and Liu Shenjun to lead the newly formed Hanzhong Corps to improve the defense of Xingshi and other fortresses. ”

It is the southern exit of Minoya. When Cao Shuang invaded, Wang Ping set up a large array to meet Cao Shuang here. Guan Yi proposed to rebuild the fortresses in Xingshi and other places, in fact, to restore the previous Hanzhong garrison strategy of Wei Yan, Wu Yi, Wang Ping: keep the enemy outside the country, and never play with heartbeats like this time.

Wang Han and the others have not yet expressed their position, Jiang Wei has already nodded heavily: But!

"Thank you, General." After bowing sincerely to Jiang Wei, Guan Yi continued: "After the reorganization of the general's mobile corps is completed, you can move westward and take back Yinping and Wudu. The point is: Qishan Camp! ”

It can be said that the Qishan camp is one of the roots of the painful memories of Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei and others for most of their lives. The mountain is actually not very high, compared to the surrounding flat land, it is only more than 200 meters. But Cao Wei always stationed heavy troops here. During the Northern Expedition of Shu Han, the Wei army here did not pay attention to it at all. But once the main force of the Han army passed here, it meant that the grain route was greatly threatened - the grain transport team was small, and the Wei army in the Qishan camp came out to grab or burn grain. And the cost of allocating too many soldiers to the grain delivery team is too high. And the previous Northern Expeditions of Shu Han, the food could not keep up, which was always a major problem that plagued Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei.

And now, with the Longxi Army almost completely annihilated. The Qishan camp is now almost empty. It is indeed the best time to seize this strategic high ground.

"Good! That's what Wei thought, too. This time, we must take the Qishan camp! When the time comes, Wei will be stationed here himself. ”

"Hehehe, the general will succeed when he goes out. But general, this time to Qishan, please bring Zhongying with you! ”

When Guan Yi said this, he was very relieved to see that Jiang Wei had no embarrassed expression at all. On the contrary, it is very happy.

Okay, my general, I just want to let go of my personal grudges completely.

"Next, our Renaissance Army will escort most of the captives back to the interior of the Han Dynasty for resettlement and exchange. And Shao Xiangong will also return to Nanzhong to settle the prisoners. Ladies and gentlemen, Yi is convinced that it will not be long before all of us here will gather together again, and at that time, it will be the time of my Han Dynasty's Northern Expedition again! ”
