Chapter 485: Buying People's Hearts
The 20,000 new troops in Shuzhong, advancing by land and water, rushed to Chengdu with great momentum.
People's patience is limited, Ye Xun has given Zhu Fengquan a chance again and again, since Zhu Fengquan is unwilling to give in, it is no wonder that Ye Xun is not surprised.
Qin Liangyu led 3,000 cavalry first, and when he arrived in Chengdu, he would take over the military power of Chengdu and clear the way for the successor army.
It has to be said that Zhu Fengquan's last fight still played a certain role, when Ye Xun's army was still more than 100 miles away from Chengdu, and finally the owner of Shengmiao Village came to him.
It has not been a day or two since Ye Xun entered Shudi, and the rumors spread by Zhu Fengquan have already been secretly reported to him.
It's just that Ye Xun didn't take it too seriously, it was the general trend for the seedlings to come out of the mountain, and the only thing that was a little difficult was how to place them.
Second, what Ye Xun thought in his heart was similar to the rumors spread by Zhu Fengquan, and it was still necessary to suppress those seedlings who refused to go down the mountain, otherwise those cave owners who sat in the well and watched the sky would always feel that the Han officials were weak and could be bullied.
The two old men who came to find Ye Xun were seedlings living in the mountains closer to the town, because they were afraid of being exterminated by Ye Xun, so they came to Tou Cheng in advance, and they also wanted to find some cheap here in Ye Xun by the way.
Strictly speaking, these seedling tribes, which are closer to the towns, are no longer much different from the mature seedlings, and their living habits have become closer and closer to those of the Han people, except that they still live in caves or stone houses.
There was an old man named Atai and Gongchang, and their subordinates were not many, and they only added up to more than 3,000 people.
At this time, Yu Chongming was still kept by Ye Xun as an advisor, in view of his meritorious dedication, Ye Xun had been released from his custody, but it was impossible to return to Yongning.
While ordering the two old men to be invited into the big tent, Ye Xun turned his head and asked Yu Chongming.
"Do you know these two?"
Yu Chongming nodded, and said: "Seeing the grass on the wall of the wind and the rudder, it is estimated that they want to find a cheap place in the father-in-law, if the father-in-law really wants to place these seedlings, the best way is to disrupt them all and scatter them all around, so that they can't make trouble even if they want to."
Ye Xun took Yu Chongming's words seriously, because no one had more say than him.
It's just that these two people who came today are the first to take the initiative to come to the door, and to appease them will let other seedlings in the deep mountains see their sincerity.
There was not much time, and two old men with thin bodies and somewhat tattered clothes walked in under the guidance of the guards.
As soon as they entered the tent door, the two old men knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "The little people in the border wilderness, knock on the father-in-law of the Heavenly Empire"
Hearing this strange name, Ye Xun was amused, and walked over to help the two old men up, and then raised his voice to the guard at the entrance of the tent: "Go and get two sets of my clothes."
I just looked at it, and although my clothes were a little loose on the two old men, they were better than what they were wearing now.
The two old men suddenly felt flattered, you must know that Ye Xun's name is already like a god among the Miao people at this time, and it is a great honor for such a character to give them his clothes.
was busy kneeling down and kowtowing again, but was stopped by Ye Xun.
"The two old people, the Han and Miao families since ancient times, don't need to make this big gift in front of my father, please sit down quickly, have you eaten?"
Ye Xun's enthusiasm made Yu Chongming on the side feel creepy, is this still the Ye Gonggong he has seen who killed Fan Long while talking and laughing? Could it be that you are dreaming?
At this time, the two old men had already finished introducing themselves to Ye Xun, and they were infected by Ye Xun's enthusiasm, and the two of them were much more relaxed.
I only heard the old man Atai take the lead and said: "There are rumors outside that my father-in-law wants us to go down the mountain, I don't know if this matter is true or false?" ”
"Of course it's true, not only that, but the Gong also wants to let the Miao people enjoy the same treatment as the Han people, the children of the Miao family can enter the school for free, all the expenses are borne by the government, and the land cultivated by the Miao people can also enjoy a three-year tax exemption policy, I don't know what other requirements the old people have? As long as the father can do it, he will definitely help the elderly to complete it."
The old man Atai turned his head to look at the old man Gongchang beside him, the happiness came so suddenly, both of them couldn't believe it was true.
Before the two of them could speak, they suddenly saw Ye Xun patting his head again and said with a smile: "Look at my head, how could you forget to say such an important thing?" ”
"Among the Han people, the title of the cave master or the owner of the village is not Xing, but the head people can't lose their identity, so after the head people go down the mountain, the government will grant certain positions to the head people according to the size of the tribe, such as protecting the armor and the head of the village or something, like the two of them, there are more than 1,000 tribes, so first be wronged to be a chief!"
The lieutenant chief is equivalent to the village chief of later generations, and it is very suitable to manage a thousand or so people.
After listening to Ye Xun's words, the two old men were even more happy in their hearts, the village system of the Han people, they knew something about it, according to Ye Gonggong, after they went down the mountain, the tribe was still under their jurisdiction, and even said that they had also entered the sequence of court officials, even if it was a sesame mung bean official, it was also recognized by the court!
The two old men couldn't wait to gather their subordinates to go down the mountain now, and they couldn't stop thanking Ye Xun.
This place is not far from Tongchuan, in order to show sincerity, Ye Xun immediately ordered someone to call the Tongchuan prefect over, and then in front of the two old men, he gave a series of orders to the Tongchuan prefect.
Not only that, Ye Xun also drafted a letter to the Miao people in front of everyone, in which he reiterated the promise he had just made, but finally mentioned that if there is still resistance to the king's order, it must be killed.
After the writing was completed, he stamped his own Qincha seal, ordered people to copy dozens of copies, and distributed them to all parts of Shuzhong to be posted.
The two old men left with a thousand thanks, they were ready-made live advertisements, Ye Xun believed that as long as they were placed, those Miao people who were hesitating and waiting and watching would definitely go down the mountain by themselves.
The Miao people are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and when they treat their compatriots, Ye Xun's words have always counted, and the measures he said in the notice are also for the long-term peace and stability of Shuzhong, so they will definitely be fulfilled.
He just got a treasure, so Ye Xun is not short of silver.
In order to prevent the civil and military officials from all over Shuzhong from starting up again, after summoning them last time, they were not allowed to leave immediately.
According to Ye Xun's idea, it is necessary for these officials to witness the end of the King of Shu with their own eyes, so as to completely dispel their illusions.
Now that there are more Miao people going down the mountain, Ye Xun has to let them leave early.
Summoning all the officials, Ye Xun first burned a copy of their confession in front of them.
Finally, he said: "My lords, the past does not forget the teacher of the future, what have you done, God knows, you know yourself, and my father also knows, I burned this thing today so that you can say goodbye to the past completely, and to what extent you can go in the future, it depends on your own, according to the orders of the Duke to appease the Miao people, a great achievement, if not, don't blame the Duke for several crimes and punishment."
Seeing that Ye Xun burned their confessions, the officials couldn't help but feel relieved, but after listening to Ye Xun's last words, their hearts couldn't help but rise again, dare to love This matter is not over! ...
