Ding Lingren's style made Burhan very annoyed, since this is the case, it is no wonder that he is ruthless, that night, Burhan did not sleep very soundly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The next day, after breakfast, Burhan found that his father was no longer in the big tent, and it was estimated that he was on official business. However, after a short time, Burhan was called to an emergency meeting. Burhan thought about it, it was up to the owner to beat the dog, it must have been Batu Bagen who sued his father, and he just took this opportunity to clean up the group of Ding Lingren who didn't know the height of the sky.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the tent, he heard Batu Bagen crying to his father Alert:

"Leader of Alett! You're going to call the shots for me! My minions only gave me some mare's milk wine, and those Ding Ling people couldn't help but fight when they came up, and now a few of them can't move their dusters. It's already spring, and it's about to be short of manpower, how much do you think I have to lose? ”

Alet, like Burhan, was preconceived, thinking: Batu Bagen has never stopped, and now he is very close to Urizhao, is this secretly instigated by Urizhao?

After thinking about it, he shook his head again, Wu Rizhao supported the slave matter, and even a child in Burhan presided over the taming work. If you want to stumble secretly, there is no need to make a gesture in the first place!

As a chief, it's not fair that Alett can't add his personal likes and dislikes to tribal affairs! At least not too obviously. One side of the word didn't mean anything, he looked at Guo Wei on the side, he was a slave camp guard, and he should know best what happened that night.

Guo Wei knelt down with Alert's gaze and said, "Leader Alert! At the time of the incident, the general was at the scene, and as Lord Batu Bagen said, it was those Ding Ling people who made the first move. Moreover, this Ding Ling people are quite rampant, and this kind of thing is not one or two incidents, but this time the impact is relatively bad. ”

There is a saying: the wall falls down and everyone pushes it! There is no accumulation of virtue on weekdays, and it is inevitable that there will be people who fall into the well when they are in trouble.

"General Guo Wei is right! The lowly position was assigned to a few slaves, and it was just a matter of not working every day, and bullying other slaves. said that he was also incompetent and failed to beat those slaves! He blushed and lowered his head.

Kali's unconscionable joke said, "Hahaha! You're a shame on us! I really don't know who the nobility is! ”

The little nobleman immediately retorted, "Kali! Can I let others know about such a shameful thing? Do I want to live? Besides, we've never met such a brutal slave before. ”

"Yes! Where they are slaves, they are all masters. "If you kill it, it's a pity."

The words of a few little nobles surprised Alert, who was the leader, and at the same time he was also very indignant! For so many years, the life of the Hechi Ti tribe has become more and more abundant, and the people have become rich, has the blood of the nobles been diluted by the good life? Be! That's right! The Hechi Tibu is known for being good to the slaves, and the slaves are also extremely hardworking, hoping to integrate into the big family of the Hechi Tibu as soon as possible. Therefore, for a long time, both the tribesmen and the nobles of the Hechiti tribe regarded slaves as their own people, because it would not be long before they would be completely integrated into the Hechiti tribe, and exploitation was not necessary. And this is also a virtue left over from the time of the old Khan, everyone is poor, why bother with each other?

However, the addition of the Ding Ling people makes it quite tricky for the Hechi Ti Tribe, they don't cooperate very much, but will be your enemy everywhere. However, Alett couldn't figure out if the knife of the Hechiti Department had been blunt.

Wu Rizhao, who had not spoken, stood up and said, "It is already spring, the people are busy breeding livestock, and the female animals that were pregnant last year should also give birth, and then they will have to shear sheep, and there will be more and more things, and it is the time when people are needed." However, Ding Lingren is unsociable and oppresses his master, which makes no one willing to use such slaves, and it is not easy to distribute. Besides, our ranch simply can't arrange so many people to work, if we let them do all the work, our people will slowly be as clumsy as the bladed knife, how far can the Hechi Ti Department go in the future? So it can't all be arranged. But... There are too many slaves at the moment, and we are experiencing it for the first time, and the number of Ding Ling people among them...? Speaking of this, he looked at the great butler Ulliji, who should know best about the number of people.

"Oh! How many people! "That's right, so far we have taken in 19,033 slaves, 1,370 old people, 4,952 young children, and 12,711 young men and women. There are more than 8,500 people in Ding, and most of them are young and young children. ”

The life of the Ding Ling people is not easy, and their social organization is similar to that of the Hechi Ti Tribe, with few old people and many young and strong children. That's why they were able to oppress other slaves.

"Nearly nine thousand slaves, who have nothing to do all day, need a lot of manpower just to take care of them. While the other slaves worked hard to get enough food, they could get it by just lazily basking in the sun, which was better than our people. My main fear is that in the long run, other slaves will follow suit, and it will be difficult to manage at that time. ”

This is indeed a problem, but fortunately it was raised today, otherwise it would have been a ticking time bomb.

"Hmmm! ...！ Alett pondered for a moment, the question was very tricky. If it seems that a small thing is unfolded, it may affect the future of the Hechi Ti Division, and he doesn't have a very good idea at this time? Hard-earned slaves killed? It's just a few people, but that's a few thousand! And most of them are young and strong, to be honest, he is really reluctant.

Alette looked at Burhan, who had been silent next to him, and asked, "Burhan!" What do you think about this? "After all, Burhan was transferred to the work of slave taming, and the matter of Ding Lingren proved that he had failed.

Burhan knelt on the ground and said, "Uncles and nobles, it was Burhan who thought about the problem too simply, and Burhan felt deeply guilty for the inconvenience caused to everyone. ”

"How can I blame you for this? If you want to blame it, blame those Ding Ling people for not knowing current affairs. Although Wu Rizhao did not like Burhan, he has proved that he is indeed better than his own son. Look at the slaves except for Ding Lingren, they are like their own family members, diligent and peaceful.

"Burhan, sit down!" His own Anda also came forward to intercede, and Alert, the father, naturally couldn't let his son be wronged, he patted Burhan on the shoulder and asked him to sit down, but seemed to feel that Burhan had not finished speaking, so he no longer tried to force him to sit down.

Burhan continued: "Ladies and gentlemen! Burhan listened to what you just said, and it boils down to the fact that the other slaves have been living a life of exploitation, and although they are slaves when they come to the Hechiti tribe, they are also liberated, and they no longer have to worry about living. However, these Ding Ling people were captured and traded into the Hechiti tribe. Most of them were injured when they came, and now they are all alive and kicking, and they only have hatred for us, so it's hard to manage. ”

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard this, and Burhan felt the same way when he said this.

"To sum it up, it is: they are idle!"

"Idle?" Thinking about it, it is true, find them some work to do, they are not as energetic as they are now, but the problem is that the tribe does not have so much work, and the tribe does not dare to use Ding Lingren.

Alette sighed and said helplessly: "Yes! Rather than just feeding and wasting food and yielding nothing, keeping it is also an unstable factor, so I have to deal with it painfully, right? Wu Rizhao also responded and said, "I have no choice but to do this." ”

When they said this, it was a sign that Alett had already started to kill, which made Burhan very angry. How can the slaves who have been bought so hard be killed! He immediately said, "Don't mind! Although we don't have a lot of work to do, it is still very useful, and if it is used well, there will be unexpected benefits! ”

Alert and Wu Rizhao looked at each other and smiled at this time. Hehe! This son doesn't know how many things are in his head, but no one can sell Guanzi's ability, if he is not forced, he will have to be tired to death. Now it's okay, the words are opened, and the nobles will listen carefully.

"So! What are you going to do? "Whatever his son does, Alett is supportive.

Burhan only said two words: "Build roads?" ”

"Build roads?" ...... the word "road building" is a strange word to the nobles of the Hechi Ti Department, even if it is placed in the Ming Court, it may not be clear to anyone. The ancients generally rarely built roads, at most they repaired a road pattern. As Lu Xun said: There is no road in the world, and the more people walk, it becomes the road. Like Qin Shi Huang, there are very few people who deliberately open roads and build bridges in the mountains and rivers, and build gallop roads and straight roads, and they must be far-sighted monarchs! You must know that in later generations, there will also be those who want to be rich, have fewer children, and build more roads.

"Not bad! It's about building roads. Only by building roads can we arrange so many slaves, and of course it is also to improve the road conditions of our Hechiti Division. Look..."Burhan walked to the side of the map and pointed "here", Burhan pointed to the current place where the Hechiti tribe is stationed - Zini Lake, "This is the Zini Lake where we are now stationed for grazing, here is 170 miles to the Jilantai Salt Pond, the salt we produce needs to be sold to the Ming Tinghan people, if we use pack horses as usual, it is not only time-consuming and laborious, but the road is muddy after the rain, and it is not easy to walk, if we build a straight road, we can use a carriage to pull it, and a cart can pull at least five loads of salt, fast and stable." And the most important thing is that this can allow most of the slaves to have work to do, so that there will be no place for abundant energy, and the idle ones will be idle anyway! "Indeed, Burhan's proposal to build a road is a good idea, and it will take three or two months to build the road with more than 10,000 people, but if the Hechiti tribe really wants to overhaul the road, it will be repaired.

When he heard that he was going to build a road, although Wu Liji didn't know how difficult it was to build a road, he knew that it must be a personal effort, and it could not be completed in ten days and half a month, but a long-term project. Then, the pressure on him as a housekeeper is particularly great. He got up and said, "Chief! Son! We don't have much food, and we can only last half a month if we are careful about it. Spring is about to begin, and if there is another spring drought, I am afraid that it will not be able to last even ten days, let alone the physical work of building roads? If the grain runs out and can't support the summer grain storage, the slaves will not be as restless as they are now! ”

Hiss! It's a slave matter again, and if there weren't so many people, the life of the Hechi Tibu would be extremely relaxed! Many nobles began to wonder whether the original decision was correct. Although the Mongols did not rely on food as a staple food, they still had the necessary reserves to meet their needs.

It is right to take precautions, but solving the problem of Ding Lingren is the key to everything. Alert said: "This is not busy! If Ding Ling can't be resettled, no matter how much food there is, these wolves can only be raised for nothing. That's it, build the road! ”

After Alert finished speaking, Wu Rizhao was about to say something more, but he heard Alert's extremely tough tone and said, "No one else is allowed to object!" One sentence made everyone selectively silent, and at the same time said to Burhan, "As for the food problem!" Burhan to figure it out himself! ”

"Huh? Why me again? Burhan couldn't help asking, but the answer he got was helpless: "If you can't feed them, then starve to death!" Compared with the stability and unity of the clan, I will not take eight or nine thousand slaves to heart. ”

Alert put down a cruel word and left, and the other nobles also withdrew, leaving only Burhan with a blank face. As a clan leader, it is necessary to be ruthless. Today he realized his father's cruel and cold-blooded side, which regarded human life like a mustard. It seems that this should be the trade-off of an emperor?
