Volume 4 The Difficulty of Shu Road Chapter 340 [By the People's Autonomy]

In fact, in addition to Shengyu, there are a large number of Miao, Li, Yao, Dong and other ethnic groups in the Bashu region, which has always been the goal of naturalization.

However, there is a great misunderstanding in this, that is, in the eyes of the imperial court, the so-called naturalization means that these ethnic minorities must settle down, pay taxes, and bear forced labor, and accept the control of the government by the administrative means of protecting the integrity of the Jiali, and in the eyes of the ethnic minority people, such a requirement is not only difficult for the strong, but also has no benefits for implementation.

First of all, the two sides have no objection on this issue, and even many ethnic minority people hope to settle in the city, because these aliens are not qualified to live in the city, and they have to be careful about entering the city to buy and sell.

As for the two items of paying taxes and undertaking forced labor, the government seems to be the full beneficiary, and the ethnic minority people are the full loser, because in the eyes of the ethnic minority people, they only have unilateral contributions, but they have not received any benefits from the government, and the government of the Great Song Dynasty has not been able to say such clichΓ©s as providing public services and providing an environment for national defense and security development, at least for the time being.

And finally, the Baojia Lizheng system is also the "Baojia System", which is to strengthen the rule of the people, clamp down on the people's freedom of movement and production and survival, and this is precisely in conflict with the primitive social system of chiefs, patriarchs, and patriarchs inherited by the ethnic minorities themselves.

Therefore, even if the Great Song Dynasty came up with a lot of methods in order to naturalize the ethnic minorities in various places, it would not work, even if it relied on the prestige of Di Qing's defeat of Nong Zhigao, subdued many ethnic minorities in Liangguang and gave appeasement measures such as tax reductions and exemptions, land division and green seedling loans, etc., it was not too young. There are still a large number of ethnic minorities who have defected one after another.

The reason for this is actually the result of the collision between the idea that "the whole world is not the king's land" and the human nature of "not being free or dying", and it is natural that "human nature" will win in an all-round way.

Huang Jie didn't know why he had the answer to this question, and it was unknown whether the answer came from his own experience or a dream, but he had a clear solution in his mind. That is, to transform the current government's "making decisions for the people" into "being independent by the people"!

The specific implementation measures and rules, if Huang Jie wants to write a charter at the moment, I am afraid that it will take at least ten days and a half months, and he may not be able to make this problem clear and clear in the paperwork, so he simply asked Wu Xian to let him give it a try.

only said that Huang Jie asked Wu Xian to let him give it a try, and Wu Xian also asked very seriously: "Oh! I don't know what the nephew is going to do? ”

Huang Jie thought for a while and said: "The specific plan, the younger generation will not be able to tell for a while, I just want to ask the county honor, how much grain can be borrowed from the Wushan County Treasury now?" How many public fields and public land can be used in the county? ”

Wu Xian also replied directly: "The summer tax is solved." The autumn tax has not been collected, and the silver money in the treasury is only more than 30,000 yuan, but there are more than 8 million yuan of money, 2,800 stones of old grain, and more than 1,000 stones of new grain. As for the public land under the county, you have to ask the treasurer to know it. ”

When Huang Jie heard this, he also had a plan in his heart, but he heard Wu Xian actually mention that Qian Yin had more than 8 million yuan. I couldn't help but laugh secretly. In the first year of this grand view (1107), the imperial court changed "Jiaozi" to "Qian Yin". Change "Jiaozi Affairs" to "Money Introduction". Except for Sichuan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Huguang and other places that still use "Jiaozi", other roads have changed to "Qian Yin". Later, Sichuan also changed Jiaozi to Qian Yin in the third year of Daguan (1109). However, the "money citation" does not place banknotes, does not allow exchange, and is issued at will, so the value of paper coupons has plummeted, and at first it was a consistently low copper coin. Later, the value continued to plummet, and in the first two years, a hundred yuan in Huangzhou could be exchanged for up to 20 copper coins in the official money shop, but that had to be related, and this year, the exchange rate fell a lot, and it was more difficult to exchange. I'm afraid I can't even exchange it for five coherences on the black market.

Huang Jie said: "The county dares to borrow 10,000 yuan of silver, 2,000 stones of grain and juniors, and it will be repaid in one month at most!" ”

Wu Xian had already obtained information about Xiazhou and Guizhou before, and he also knew that Huang Jie's family was quite rich, but this opening was to borrow a lot of money, and two thousand stone of old grain was also a huge amount of material, how could he easily agree, so he also asked: "What is the basis?" ”

Huang Jie thought about it, reached out and took out a mouthful of tips from the bag under his waist, and said with a smile: "How about the official seal of the imperial official envoy?" ”

Wu Xian was not polite, stretched out his hand to take the bag, and said, "Okay! In a word, the county will lend you 10,000 yuan in cash and 2,000 yuan of old grain, and the deadline will be returned in one month! ”

Immediately, the two of them also stretched out their palms and struck three times, which was settled!

After finalizing it, Huang Jie immediately sent people to find Sun Xin, Sun Gu, Hua Rong, Zhanchao, and Buddha to come to discuss the matter.

After everyone arrived, Huang Jie assigned: "Fang Cai and Wushan County Zun borrowed some money and grain, and asked the second brother to preside, and went back to lead the handover with the county honor." Gorou and Zhan's guards are still here to appease everyone, but you need to find the tongue people, carefully explore the origin of these servants, and try to make a picture. Hua Dalang went to the city and quickly found Qu Sheng, who led the way with us yesterday, to come to discuss. There are also Buddhist monks, you also quickly send people to get all the monks and pots and pans of the temples in the city, and after a while, the second brother will hand over the money and food, and then he will start a gang in front of the city, and take care of these servants to eat and drink. ”

When a few people got the order, they naturally didn't dare to hesitate to do it separately, and the Buddha was also overjoyed and hurriedly called a few medicine monks to trot into the city. It seems to him that Huang Jie asked his Buddhist disciples to preside over the fasting, which is also a good job to do good deeds and accumulate virtues.

After a while, Hua Rong was the first to find Qu Sheng, and Qu Sheng saluted from afar: "The grass people have seen the envoy!" ”

Huang Jie also stepped forward to pull him and said with a smile: "It's only been a day, and the manager is gone!" Now I don't have much gossip, dare to ask the manager Qu to know my family's Huangzhou canned meat? ”

Qu Sheng also nodded and said, "I know!" Know! This time I went to Jiangling, and the grass people also made some canned sauce meat from Fuzhou Xu Ji and vegetarian fruits from Anzhou Wanji. ”

Huang Jie said with a smile: "I remember that the Song family and the Zhao family of Chengdu Mansion were authorized as far west of Huangzhou, and there was no one in Kuizhou and Guizhou, so I don't know that you Xingmao Xing is not far away to make a living?" ”

Qu Sheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and only after five or six breaths did he react, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes!" Willing! Tens of millions of people are willing! ”

Huang Jie continued: "It's good if you're willing! I roughly put the idea and Qu Steward to talk about it, on the way to come, I was also inspired by Qu Steward's good deeds of exchanging food for pheasant tails, and now more than 1,000 servants and their families in Wushan City are in urgent need of resettlement, I think about it, this is not as good as people and fish, it is better to teach people to fish. Therefore, I am willing to take out the secret recipe for making canned meat for free, and after your family gets the recipe, you must choose a site in Wushan County to set up a workshop and settle these servants. ”

Qu Sheng turned his head when he heard this, and then he was dumbfounded again, and said, "Can ...... Can...... But these servants, I'm afraid there are thousands! ”

Huang Jie laughed when he heard this, and said, "Too much? I'm afraid that in the future, there will be too little to do! (To be continued.) )
