Li Zheng bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "According to common sense, General Huangfu's consideration is very reasonable. ”

"However, the lord is very human."

The two of them laughed as they spoke.

After laughing, the topic shifted to the content of Zhang Shan Xinbao.

"What does Zhang Shan think of wanting to use the power of Linsonglu Shuihu in Hexi to deal with the Han Sui rebel Gongda? I don't know much about Lu Shuihu. ”

Xun You read the letter, pondered for a moment, and said: "Lu Shuihu can be righteous, if the lord is willing to take out some money, and then move it with reason, and know it with affection, he must be able to say that Lu Shuihu will be able to help." ”

Li Zheng frowned and said: "Although Zhang Shan said that Lu Shuihu has been recruited by the imperial court many times and has also made great contributions, I don't trust the Hu people. Moreover, at present, the situation in Liangzhou is chaotic, and Han Sui is in a big position, I am afraid that Lu Shuihu is afraid and does not dare to be hired. ”

Xun You smiled indifferently and said, "The lord is too worried. Maybe the lord doesn't know what kind of tribe Lu Shuihu is, right? ”

Li Zheng nodded yes.

"The components of Lu Shuihu are very complex. There are Hu people in the Western Regions, Qiang people, Xiongnu people, and even Han people, etc.! Historically, this tribe has been an important source of Hexi soldiers in the Han Dynasty. There were many generals who were born in Lu Shuihu who were reused by the imperial court, and in a certain way, Lu Shuihu was tied to the imperial court. ”

"My lord, since the first year of Zhongping, the Qiang people have rebelled, and now Han Sui is a rebel and a thief, have you ever heard of Lu Shuihu's involvement?!"

"That's right." Li Zheng couldn't help but nodded.

"Perhaps Han Sui was so powerful that Lu Shuihu had to retreat, but he did not participate in the rebellion. If you promise to use wealth and goods, and then move it with reason, only the kingdom will be defeated, Han Sui will be weak, and General Huangfu is about to enter Liangzhou, and after thinking about Lu Shuihu, he will definitely not refuse to be recruited. ”

Li Zheng listened, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This Lu Shuihu is a complex tribe, or a tribe in the form of mercenaries, and has survived in this Xiliang border for countless years, thinking that the people must be fierce and abnormal, otherwise they will not be regarded as an important source of Hexi soldiers in the Han Dynasty.

If you can swallow this tribe in one bite, it will have a great effect on the development of the power.

After thinking about it, Li Zheng said: "In this case, let Zhang Shan try it first, as for the goods" Speaking of this, Li Zheng frowned.

In the past two years, he has never been rich. If you want to hire Lu Shuihu and wait for a little leisure, I am afraid that you will not be able to impress people's hearts.

"The lord can pay for it with grain." Xun You said: "The grain sown in the spring of this year has just been put into storage. Three counties, just in taxes, there are more than 3 million stones. This grain can supply the army under the command of the lord for at least ten years, too much, it is better to use it here! ”

Li Zheng has three counties under his jurisdiction, and the sown area this spring has exceeded one million mu. Although it is not all ginseng and wheat, because of the promotion of intensive cultivation and the increase of investment in water conservancy facilities, the grain output has been qualitatively improved.

Only 30% of the tax revenue is more than 3 million stones, that is to say, the total income of the three counties of Lingzhou, Fuping and Lian County is about 10 million stones!

There is so much grain in just one year, and Li Zheng's command is only more than 10,000 soldiers, plus thousands of domestic slaves, and hired workers, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat it all in five or seven or eight years.

"Okay, that's a good idea." Li Zheng smiled.

Because of the war, the livelihood of the people in Liangzhou has been greatly damaged, and food, for anyone in Liangzhou, is more valuable than money!

Thinking about it, if the grain is used to compensate for the employment money, Lu Shuihu will definitely not refuse.

"That's right, my lord." Xun You suddenly said: "Lu Shuihu has three branches in Liangzhou, the Hexi Corridor is Linsong Lu Shuihu, Jincheng County has Hehuang Lu Shuihu, and this Anding County is the birthplace of Lu Shuihu!" Do you want to recruit and settle Lu Shuihu on the spot and fight for the lord?! ”

"Stability too?!"

Li Zheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said, "I'll leave this matter to you, you can try it." ”

When Xun You heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and arched his hand: "Obey." ”

Li Zheng smiled: "Those who can work harder." ”

After Xun Yu left, Li Zheng's face was dark, but he fell into thought.

In this place of Liangzhou, the folk customs are one of them, and the most important thing is that many ethnic groups live together. Because of the differences in beliefs and habits between various ethnic groups, it is easy to cause conflicts between them.

Combining these factors, you can imagine why Liangzhou is so chaotic.

Of course, the most important reason is that the imperial court is weak and cannot be controlled.

Liangzhou is the meat in Li Zheng's bowl sooner or later, if these problems are not solved, it is inevitable that there will be some chaos in the future.

There is a Lu Shuihu today, and tomorrow there may be some kind of Hu like this, so prepare as soon as possible, come up with a preparatory plan, and wait until they are subdued in the future, and implement it directly.

As far as Li Zheng is concerned, he feels that in this world, except for the Han people, there is no need for other ethnic groups to exist at all! Of course, it does not mean that other peoples will be destroyed, but that they will be actively integrated!

Li Zheng recalled the history of later generations, and in the entire thousands of years of history, the so-called national integration was in a passive state! It is always when the Han people are almost weak that the so-called national integration occurs in blood and tears.

This is what Li Zheng does not want to see.

Active integration is imperative.

Just like in the grassland, there are no Qiang people, all of them are Han people.

But that time, it was just a special case.

To integrate the Hu people, we have to take it step by step, and at the same time, we must take care of the dignity and affection of the Han people.

Combining all kinds of chaotic thoughts in his head, Li Zheng sat silently for two hours before gradually sorting out his thoughts.

Graded!

Yes, in grades.

The inclusion of Han nationality in the highest rank, in terms of social welfare, tax exemptions, rights and obligations, and so on, reflects this nobility.

The secondary level is naturalization. Those alien races who voluntarily surrendered to Li Zheng and voluntarily moved closer to the Han civilization can be included in this naturalized list. Of course, there are naturally many clear conditions, such as strict requirements in language, thought, behavior, and so on. Otherwise, they are not eligible for naturalization.

Naturalized nationality also enjoys various social benefits, but it is far inferior to the noble Han nationality.

The lowest is slavery.

Aliens who have been taken prisoners of war in foreign wars and passively submitted will be included in this rank. People at this level can only enjoy the most basic social benefits, and they also have to bear the heaviest social obligations, and in all aspects, there are very strict restrictions!

Of course, such hierarchical differentiation, over time, can easily lead to class contradictions.

In order to alleviate this contradiction, it is necessary to build a bridge between the classes.

Therefore, Li Zheng decided that whether they were slaves or naturalized, their identities were not absolute. For example, if a person from a slave nationality meets the requirements in terms of language, culture, behavior, etc., he can go to the yamen in charge of civil affairs to apply for promotion, and after passing the assessment, he can be promoted from slave to naturalized. Similarly, under certain conditions, naturalized nationality can also apply for assessment and become a real Chinese nationality.

In addition to this regular way of upgrading, there are some exceptions. For example, if you have made great contributions, if you have made a great contribution to society, if you become a model in terms of behavior and morality, you can go straight to the Han nationality!

In this way, it can not only alleviate the class contradictions that may be formed, strengthen the honor and dignity of the Han people, and enhance the cohesion of the nation, but also promote the development of society in a certain way!

It is conceivable that the slaves and naturalized people work hard, rack their brains to do research, and so on in order to promote their status, and so on, does this not strengthen the impetus for social development?

At the same time, in order to give some impetus to the highest-level Han nationality, Li Zheng is also preparing to formulate a rule for demotion. For example, crimes, such as lack of ethics and morality, etc., etc., if a Han Chinese person has flaws in these aspects, then he will be demoted.

In this way, the highest-level Han people will also have pressure and spur, and in a certain way, they can suppress the corruption of this class.

Thinking about these things inside and out, Li Zheng's eyes were as bright as stars. Although this system seems to be perfect, Li Zheng knows that no system can be perfect. You can try it first, do it while finding flaws, and then make up for it.

Pick up the brush, write down your thoughts one by one, dry them, roll them up, and put them on the desk.

This system was conceived by Li Zheng himself, and he had to discuss it with Xun You and other important figures under his command before he could make a final conclusion.

Exhaled, Li Zheng stood up, his legs and feet slightly numb.

I sat on my knees for more than two hours, and it was strange that I was not numb.

I walked out of the study, walked around the yard, and moved my hands and feet, which made me feel much more comfortable.

After calling two guards, Li Zheng walked out of the Gaoping County Office and walked slowly on the street.

Having just experienced the war, the whole of Gaoping seems to be very depressed. Although three or four days have passed, there is still a smell of blood in the streets.

Pedestrians walked in a hurry, especially when they saw Li Zheng, just like a mouse seeing a cat, they looked very scared.

Although Li Zheng was helpless, he also knew that it was inevitable.

Later, as time passes, as a series of measures are implemented, it will naturally be reversed.

Although Gaoping can be regarded as an important town in Anding County, it is actually not large, and it is not as good as Lingzhou at the beginning. Coming out of the county office, it took only a quarter of an hour to walk to the city gate.

After walking around the city and chatting with the soldiers defending the city, Li Zheng turned around and went to the barracks.

Originally, there was no military camp in Gaoping City. However, after Zhang Hengma and others led the troops to settle here, they demolished all the houses in the north of Gaoping City and made them into military camps.

At present, there are still more than 8,000 prisoners in the barracks, and Pound has been busy in it for the past few days, recruiting, pacifying, and training them.

When he arrived at the barracks, Li Zheng was immediately stopped by the guards and soldiers.

The two guards who followed were about to scold, but were stopped by Li Zheng. If there is something important, you must hold the barracks guard token to enter and exit. This is a military order, a military order decided by Li Zheng himself.

Of course, as the lord, Li Zheng's own exclusive token can be used anywhere in his own territory. But Li Zheng didn't take it out, just stood outside the barracks door, waiting leisurely under the vigilant eyes of the guards.

After a while, Pang De came out in a hurry, and when he saw Li Zheng being stopped outside the barracks, he couldn't help blushing, and kicked the guards several times, and then welcomed Li Zheng into the camp.

"The Lord forgives sins, they do not know the Lord"

"It doesn't matter." Li Zheng waved his hand, looked at Pang De, who was a little at a loss, and said with a smile: "This is my military order, and everyone must abide by it." I didn't take out the token, so I was not eligible to enter the barracks. They do well, and so do you! ”

In this barracks, they are all prisoners who have just surrendered, so naturally they don't know Li Zheng. However, in just a few days, Li Zhengjun's military order was implemented, and Pang De contributed a lot.
