Chapter 235: Negotiation

"It doesn't matter! I like to talk about things after dinner at the dinner table, and everyone who knows me knows this habit. You came just in time for dinner, so let's eat together and talk by the way. Li replied with a smile after seeing the reactions of these people.

However, he was accompanied by only a few students who were responsible for entertaining guests. Wu Shun and the others all stayed in Quanzhou Port, and the people around Li Hao are now like smoke. After several girls now broke through that layer of relationship with Li Hao, they also took turns to follow Li Hao.

Because this is the front line, Li Hao didn't dare to bring them all over, for fear of risk. Just like this banquet, Ruyan didn't attend. Li Hao still believed in his skills, but he couldn't take care of Ruyan when he was fighting, who knew if these Shanyue people would have crooked thoughts, so Li Hao didn't let Ruyan come over.

"People take food as the sky, and people live to have food and clothing. I have always felt that if the common people can eat enough and live their lives, there will be no rebellions and riots, and there will be no killings, do you think this is right? ”

The things that came up were not rare ingredients, in fact, the people here in Yamagoe had also seen these things, and perhaps many of them were the things they usually used to satisfy their hunger, just ordinary food.

But after passing through the hands of the Li Mansion, these foods became very delicious. What's more, there is chicken, duck and fish meat in it, which is full of fragrance. These Shanyue people were originally a little reserved, and once they ate and drank, they couldn't control their hands.

"What the adults are saying is that the people live in the world, and all they want in their lives is to have food and clothing every day. If there is a way to live, who wants to rebel and go to the dead? After all, those who want to make a fortune from rebellion are only a minority. ”

It was one of the two women who spoke, and when she was introduced, she called herself Chen Sanniang. Li Hao glanced at her meaningfully and smiled. then poured himself a glass of wine, and then signaled to Chen Sanniang to clink glasses.

"It's good that you Shanyue people can think like this, and I think the same way, which is the basic condition for our cooperation. I will help you solve your safety, food and clothing problems, but my requirements must also be carried out, so that everyone will be fine. ”

It seemed that the business began without warning, and the woman paused after listening to Li Hao's words. Everyone else was eating their big meals, and no one was even thinking about it. This made the woman feel that her people were disgraced and dead, and she wanted to kick these guys to death.

You must know that at the beginning, these guys were worried that Li Hao was looking for poison in the meal, and they didn't dare to eat one by one. If it weren't for Li Hao laughing and eating first, and following on top of him, these guys could only look at the things on the table and didn't dare to eat.

Li Hao didn't need poison to deal with them, and the current Shanyue people had little choice but to surrender, so he didn't need to do anything more. Poisoning these people will only make the negotiation a desperate fight for the Shanyue people, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"But after all of our Shanyue people lay down their arms and surrender to the adults, what if the adults repent? If we don't have weapons, in the end we are not fish and meat, and we are slaughtered by adults? Also, if the adults are transferred away and replaced with a new official, can they still treat us Shanyue people like this? ”

seemed to feel the anger of the woman next to him, and was kicked for no reason, the middle-aged man who took the lead was a little reluctant to put down the pork knuckle in his hand at this time, and then wiped his mouth and asked, the question was very direct, he called himself Xie An.

"I've already replied to this question, and I promise in my name, but if you don't believe it, then it's a solution, we'll see you on the battlefield. Finally, I would like to add that I have the final say in the entire Lingnan Road, and at least in the next five years! ”

Li Hao poured himself a glass of wine, these things on the table are made according to the taste of Fujian cuisine, in addition to the seafood, there are also a lot of mountain delicacies, which is suitable for the taste of these Shanyue people. Plus they're afraid they haven't eaten anything decent for a long time, so it's strange that they can hold back when they see this.

"Your news is not so blocked, so you can go and inquire, my name is actually very valuable. Many people are willing to break the bank for a promise I made. Seeing that those guys were eating very happily, Li Hao smiled, then slowly replied, and then slapped his face, and let people take out their sand tables.

Knowing that there are big leaders of the Shanyue people among these people, there are some things that are easy to discuss. Above the sand table is a topographic map of the entire Quanzhou Prefecture, which is scaled down. The people who ate a lot were still eating, but the two women and the middle-aged Xie An didn't eat it.

They followed Li Hao to the big sand table, and then listened to Li Hao's introduction: "This sand table is the topographic map of the entire Quanzhou Mansion, and the piece you are staying in now is here." Everything around is blocked, and wherever you want to go, there is a blockade in front of you. ”

Li Hao's words were not serious, but the faces of the three people who looked at the sand table all changed. Compared to the kind of map or familiar terrain they used, the thing in front of them was much more vivid, and at this time they realized that they had only a little space that had been shrunk, and the government could completely surround them at any time.

"So it's actually not that hard to start a great war to completely destroy you. But that's not what I want, because you're going to have a lot of deaths, and you're definitely going to have dead and wounded. You are forced to rebel, so I am willing to give you a way to live. ”

Li Hao pointed to the place marked with a red flag on the sand table, and then introduced: "Whether it is a big family or a wealthy family in Quanzhou Mansion, I have cleaned up a lot recently, so they are much more honest, and I also have a lot of real estate in my hands." These red areas are the ones that can be used to house you. ”

"All of these areas are isolated from the earthen buildings of the Han people, and the general is going to completely disperse and resettle our Shanyue people?" The middle-aged Xie An has the same name as a famous person in history, but he does not have that person's talent. He introduced himself as a negotiator for the Shanyue people in the mountains, but Li Hao felt that this person was more like a businessman.

"What do you think? If you are allowed to live together and make a fuss over a trivial matter, how can I explain it to others? These places are all fertile land, which can support a lot of people, and after you settle some people there, they will also build earthen buildings over there, so your safety is also guaranteed. ”

At this time, the tulou can not only be used to defend against enemies, but also to resist typhoons, which is one of the reasons why Li Hao is ready to promote this kind of building on a large scale here. Maybe many years later, these things can become a beautiful scenery and leave some valuable wealth for future generations.

"What are these things that go up one after another?" The woman named Chen Sanniang next to her didn't have much idea about being broken up and resettled. Whether they are the surrendering side or the weaker side, it is actually good to have a scattered settlement.

She cares about other things, those places marked in red can't accommodate so many people, and she wants to come to the mountains to settle some too. So he asked a little curiously when he saw the things that bent up in the west, as if they were all coiled up the mountain.

"It's a terrace." Li glanced at it and replied, this thing is not innovative, in fact, terraces appeared in the east during the Qin Dynasty. However, after Li Hao arrived at Quanzhou Mansion, he didn't see any terraced fields here, so he pulled this thing out, which is completely feasible.

When I traveled to Fujian Province in later generations, there were many terraced fields here. However, according to the tour guides, these terraced fields seem to have been developed after the end of the Tang Dynasty, and in later generations, they were not only cultivated as cultivated land, but also formed a special scenery.

Terraces are fields with strip-like steps or wavy sections built along the contour line on hilly slopes. This kind of cultivated land is very effective in controlling soil erosion on sloping cultivated land, and the effects of water storage, soil conservation and yield increase are very significant. On the Fujian side, there is a mountain and a field and a water, and there is an extreme shortage of arable land.

If you want to vigorously develop this side, in addition to vigorously developing commerce, the cultivation here must also be improved, which has something to do with the performance appraisal at this time. And the resettlement of these Shanyue people also needs a place, and Li Hao used this thing here.

"Terraces? It does look like a ladder. But I don't remember there are any terraces like you said in this area, right? Chen Sanniang looked at the thing Li Hao said, and asked after making sure that she hadn't seen this in Quanzhou Mansion.

"No, not in the entire Quanzhou Mansion. This is a farming method that I have seen from other places, where there are many mountains and little land, and if some terraced fields can be developed, the grain production of Quanzhou Province will be greatly improved. And it's not a problem to settle those people you are hiding in the mountains, and the Han people here can also develop together. ”

Li looked at Chen Sanniang well, and he can now be sure that this Chen Sanniang in front of him should be the big leader of the Shanyue people. But Li Hao doesn't want to expose this, so let this girl continue to pretend, anyway, she doesn't use this woman's head to receive the reward.

Whether it is Chen Sanniang, Xie An and a few others, their clothes are similar to those of the Han people, they all know Chinese characters, and their living habits are actually no different from the Han people. Since the Qin Dynasty, for so many years, these people have been slowly domesticated, and after the Song Dynasty, these people will even be proud of themselves as Song people.

At the end of the Song Dynasty, these Shanyue people even organized various righteous teachers to support the imperial court, leaving a strong mark in the history of resisting the Yuan Dynasty. Later, the Shanyue people became history, and there was no such thing anymore, and all of them became Han people.

Li Hao's current arrangement is also for this purpose, because the Shanyue people here have actually been sinicized for most of them now, and with a little more time and energy, they can be domesticated.
