As Meng Huo moved south and west with all his clansmen to conquer the vast Asian subcontinent, the thousands of mountains of the entire Yi Mountains completely fell silent and became a kingdom paradise for birds and beasts. The southern Xinjiang of the Han people completely settled down, and the people of the Han people began to slowly infiltrate to the south, stepping on the road that Meng Shu had walked, opening up a southern Silk Road, controlling this huge space, and the war in the south was completely calm from then on.
After this war with Meng Shu, he completely subdued the civil and military forces of the original Yizhou.
In the past, in order to exterminate and conquer the southern barbarians, the father and son of the Liu family did not know how many Han men had been damaged, and they didn't know how much grain they had filled in, but every time they were either helpless, or they cut their feathers and returned.
But this time Lu Peng went out, originally thought that it would be a war that would cost countless people, not only completely solved the problem, so that there would be no war in southern Xinjiang for hundreds of years, but also turned out to be a lot of gains, not only got 17 billion money for the slave trade, but also got the "gift" of the huge treasures accumulated by the Meng people for thousands of years. And Lu Peng was very generous, and after allocating 20 billion yuan to Xiliang to support Han Sui, he left everything left in Yizhou, so that Yizhou's treasury was immediately filled.
With money, everything is easy to do, and Lu Peng and Pang Tong began to implement the great cause of Yizhou's transformation that they had planned long ago.
So the government sprinkled a lot of money, hired countless people, began to renovate water conservancy, open up land, build windmills, repair roads, renovate granaries, improve production tools, in a short period of time, a huge granary has already had a prototype, and in another year, Yizhou can not only meet Yizhou's food needs, but also energy to the west of the cool, to the state to export grain, completely solve the Youzhou Group northwest grain embarrassment.
So Lü Peng and Pang Tong took advantage of the fact that they were holding heavy troops in Sichuan, and began to strengthen the garrison at the pass in front of Gaoyang Pass.
As long as there is a large army living here, it can hold off the enemy who is heading north along the Yangtze River.
In Guanzhong, Zhang Yan's garrison was also strengthened, as long as it grasped here, Yizhou would no longer be in danger of military disasters, so that it was completely unnecessary for Yizhou to retain 300,000 troops, so after leaving 10,000 people as a deterrent and bomb the bandits, the Yizhou army began to be dismantled, and the 200,000 soldiers were directly released as farmers.
At the time of the retrenchment, each soldier gave 10,000 steel coins as severance pay, this money was issued, not only to make these soldiers feel at ease, but also to ensure the life of these soldiers after returning home, but also to stimulate the economy of Yizhou, so that Yizhou's economy once again exploded prosperity, and this money in the near future, and returned to the treasury in the form of various invisible taxes, which of course made the officials in charge of the treasury simply inexplicable, how did the money thrown out come back, so Lu Peng transferred a group of students from Youzhou Academy, A good economic lesson was given to these people.
The soldiers no longer fought desperately, and they also received 10,000 yuan for settling-in money, which was of course very happy. Peace is rare, who wants to let go of a comfortable peaceful life, but live that bloody fighting years? The hot kang head of the wife and children is the life that the people want most.
There are pros and cons to everything, there are those who are happy, and of course there are those who are not happy, those senior officers in the original Yizhou army were transferred to other places by Lu Peng for reuse because they had no soldiers to bring, and the mediocre people who were incapable were of course kicked out of the ranks of officials. According to Lu Peng's practice, he drew a piece of land for them in the grassland, gave them enough money to settle down, and wanted them to become a rich man. But how can a person who is used to being an official get used to being a flat-headed commoner? What's more, Yizhou is a rich country of abundance, for these officials, it is really a world of flowers, how can they be willing to go to the grassland to herd sheep and graze and start a new business, such hardship, it is terrible to think about it, so they complained one by one and began to walk around, hoping to regain their original rights.
There is a foundation for their tandem walking, and the biggest foundation of them is those middle and lower-level officers, but in this major disarmament, there is indeed no place for them, so according to their ranks, they are given enough settling-in allowances, so that they can return to their hometowns and enjoy peace. After so many years of hard work, he finally got ahead and became a middle- and lower-level officer, he could fish and meat in the township, and he could show off his might, but as soon as he was disarmed, he made them civilians again, such a huge gap made them full of dissatisfaction, and after being found by the old superiors, they immediately agreed to follow the old superiors to do a vigorous career and regain everything they lost.
There are also some wealthy landlords, according to the practice formed over thousands of years, education and culture are in their hands, so that the officials at all levels of government are naturally controlled by their children's families, forming a small gatekeeper.
But Lu Peng completely broke this convention, he not only transferred a large number of students to Youzhou College to serve as officials at all levels, but also began to let the elites from the poor families of the people to join them, which greatly damaged their interests, so under the influence of those officials, the two sides hit it off, one side sent people and troops, and the other side contributed money and food, so riots of different sizes appeared in various places.
This time, Lu Peng was no longer merciful, and he was not merciful, so he implemented the thunderbolt method, turning the Youzhou army in his hands into several major forces, and then divided the area into pieces, and carried out resolute encirclement and suppression.
But how could those rebels be the opponents of the powerful Lu Jiajun? Everywhere the Lu Jiajun went, they were all devastated.
Then every time Lu Peng extinguished a rebellion in a region, he wiped out all the rebellious officers and officials, as well as those wealthy clans, and never left a little trouble.
The Yizhou that Lu Peng asked for is a Yizhou that obeys the people.
His purpose was achieved.
Under the economic gift of Lu Peng, under his blood and fire butcher's knife, Yizhou finally calmed down, singing and dancing everywhere, and chickens and dogs smelled each other and smoked together. It has become a real country of abundance.
Everything was settled, and on the day of the first anniversary of Lu Peng's complete pacification of Yizhou, he took his army to Hanzhong, passed through Guanzhong, crossed the territory of Sili Liu Bei, entered Bingzhou, and returned to Youzhou headquarters.
