The envoy of the Yue Kingdom arrived in Lianzhou for the second time, but this time he had no confidence, this messenger was Li Yang, the son of the Yue King, Li Hui sent his son as a messenger, which also shows Li Hui's determination to negotiate peace, the situation of the Yue State is already very dangerous, and now we must go all out to deal with the Nanzhang State, otherwise there is not only the danger of losing the country, but it is not impossible to die.

Liu Chengfeng had already returned to Lianzhou City, and took advantage of this victory to start dealing with the mountain barbarians.

The Hou Mansion had already hung up a notice that allowed the barbarians to go down the mountain, and the Lianzhou government was responsible for providing land, giving them cultivation, and providing cattle and horses and other animal power.

The barbarians on the mountain were divided into two factions at once, and some of them were excited, and although they had concerns, they were obviously willing to go down the mountain. However, others think that the Han people are cunning and should not be easily believed in their words, not to mention that they have been hunting all their lives, how can they say that they will go down the mountain? Naturally, he refused.

The barbarians who are willing to go down the mountain are often in the mountains by other cottages oppressed by the small village, they are not strong, often bullied by other cottages, there is no fixed hunting place, there is no upper and lower meal, life is particularly difficult, and even some cottages are still hunting with stone tools, using wool grass to cover the body.

A few days later, finally there is a cottage leader with the tribesmen down the mountain, this cottage only more than 900 people, in the vast mountains, the strength is the weakest, they do not really believe in what the government's 'sweet words', what to send rice seeds, give enough land, and even every 100 people send a cow to a cloud, they just hope to find a way to live, the mountains are too bitter, and then go on like this, sooner or later there will be a crisis of extinction, the prey in the mountains has become less and less, people can not have food to eat their stomachs, nor can they not have grass to shelter the wind and rain.

These hundreds of people went down the mountain, and the local magistrate immediately went to greet them, while informing Lianzhou, Liu Chengfeng got the news, and his spirits were lifted, and the time for his daughter to buy bones had come, so he put Annan's envoys aside, and rushed to Wuhe County to greet these mountain barbarians in person.

Of course, they knew that once they went down the mountain, their fate would change, but they didn't know what it would be, who knew if the Han people would go back on their word, but soon, they dispelled this concern.

These people were first placed outside the county seat, where the government has set up tents for them, and sent food, the food standard is also sufficient, in addition to the enough rice every day, but also deliberately kill a pig, ten chickens to entertain, in fact, more than 900 people, one person at most a few taels of meat, but this kind of hospitality, but let everyone feel at ease.

Subsequently, it is said that the biggest official in Lianzhou came, and the person who came looked very young, entered the camp of the mountain barbarians, and did not greet the patriarch of the cottage at first, but said directly to the patriarch: "I heard that some of your clansmen were sick when they went down the mountain, where are the people now?" ”

The straightforward words were very heartwarming, the old patriarch listened, and hurriedly led Liu Chengfeng to a camp tent, Liu Chengfeng got in, and this camp was already surrounded by mountain barbarian clansmen.

After entering, Liu Chengfeng's entourage came out of a few doctors, these doctors were specially invited from other places, it is said that Liu Chengfeng invited more than 200 in one breath, in addition to doctors, there are many readers, but these scholars have no fame, Liu Chengfeng himself is also a doctor, but did not personally go to see the patient, just nodded to the accompanying doctor, the doctors immediately stepped forward, after examining the condition of the sick barbarian, wrote out the prescription, and then someone sent the medicine to the patient.

Liu Chengfeng's actions may not be able to fool those Han people who have long been familiar with the purchase of thousands of gold and bones, but it makes these mountain barbarians grateful, after all, in their eyes, this Lianzhou Marquis is a very remarkable person, but no matter how great it is, he is also an outsider, and he has just come, so careful and more considerate than his own people.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Chengfeng and some elders in the clan went to another tent to talk, and naturally they inevitably told them that the content of the Anman notice would never break their promise, each person was divided into ten acres of land, and the land was in Hefu County, in addition to the land, some food would be distributed, after all, everyone had just come down the mountain, even if they wanted to harvest, it would be at least next year, and this year would have to pass to make everyone starving. In addition, there are also grains and livestock, which are also distributed and supplied.

When the patriarch heard this, he no longer doubted Liu Chengfeng, and knew that the noble man in front of him would do what he said, so he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly at the left and right, then got up and helped the old patriarch up, and encouraged: "Ben Hou is just a favor, these lands were snatched from the Annan people, and they were given to you together, and those who should be helped can only help here, so you can do it yourself." ”

There is a deep meaning behind this sentence, which is to tell the patriarch that the land is not mine, it is the Yue people, and I did this favor, but how to defend these lands and let them produce food is your business, and everyone who should be helped has helped, and the rest is up to you.

Even if the patriarch doesn't understand Liu Chengfeng's words now, he will understand sooner or later in the future, after all, in those states and counties occupied by Liu Chengfeng, there are still many Yue people, and there will definitely be conflicts over land at that time.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Chengfeng said: "How are the nobles cured when they are sick?" ”

The medical conditions of Shanman can be said to be very backward, the patriarch looked ashamed, and said: "Most of them saw the witch doctor first, but life and death are fateful, and most people can only watch God's arrangement at home." ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly, in fact, he already knew about this situation, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "It can't go on like this, although everyone is born, old, sick and die, but how can you not be treated if you are sick?" It's not good to go on like this, there are few nobles, if it becomes a major illness because of some minor illness, wouldn't it be a pity? Shanman is also my Ming people, it is better to send a doctor to your village, rest assured, this doctor is from the Hou Mansion to withdraw money and food, so you don't need to spend money to invite, then stay in your village to see people. ”

When the old patriarch heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and he was even more grateful, this person went down the mountain, not only gave the land, but also gave the tools for cultivation, sent food, and even paid for medical treatment, this Liu Chengfeng is simply a living Bodhisattva! Great kindness, I really don't know how to repay it.

Liu Chengfeng smiled again: "Reading is also very important, reading books to understand things, so Ben Hou also decided to appoint some gentlemen who sit in the hall to go to Guizhai, although it is not to let your clansmen take the top prize in the Jinshi, but to be able to read and understand, there are many benefits, there are 1,000 people in your village, with a doctor, a gentleman, how?" ”

These mountain barbarians will also know a little bit about the outside world, knowing that the Han people respect the most are scholars, Liu Chengfeng asked people to go to the village in the classroom, of course, it is a good thing, so he hurriedly agreed.

Liu Chengfeng comforted the patriarch again, and ordered the accompanying officials to take care of it, after all, the people have just arrived, don't take care of it, the officials agreed, and when Liu Chengfeng rode a horse and took a group of attachΓ©s out of the camp, the mountain barbarians inside knew that the marquis of Wanhu not only kept his promise, but also gave a lot of benefits, and for a while, the camp was boiling, and there were cheers everywhere.

Liu Chengfeng, who was riding on the horse, walked farther and farther, and when he heard the cheers coming from the back of his head, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face, he knew in his heart that the mountain barbarians were completely convinced.

The distribution of land is to solve the livelihood of the mountain barbarians, but also to change their way of life and reduce their attacks caste. And the distribution of food and animals is to win people's hearts and let everyone remember Liu Chengfeng's kindness, after all, there has long been a feud between the Han and the barbarians, and if you want to release your previous suspicions, you have to take some means of appeasement.

Liu Chengfeng's most brilliant means is not this, but to send doctors and scholars to each cottage, you know, at least in this era, doctors and scholars are the most beloved people, patients are not cured, people will not complain, at least there will be no disputes, and once people are cured, for these simple barbarians, people will always remember the doctor's kindness, the so-called grace of life, springs reciprocate, now it is not a money society, everything is measured by money, people think that they spent money to cure the disease, Everyone doesn't owe each other, but in this era, the meaning is different.

The teaching gentlemen are tantamount to passing on their values to the next generation of the mountain barbarian children, teaching them to read and write at the same time, but also telling them the truth of doing things, and these people have a more far-reaching influence.

Liu Chengfeng can almost imagine that after a few years, the most respected people in the mountain barbarian village may not be the patriarch and the wizard, those doctors and teachers who were sent to the cottage by Liu Chengfeng will also have great appeal, with the doctors and teaching gentlemen as a bridge, and there are Yue people outside as a threat, the entire Shanman can be regarded as a complete peaceful coexistence with the Han people.

Liu Chengfeng on the horse was a little relaxed, looking at the sunset in the sky, Le Ma entered the door of the city gate, and rested in this county town that night, and told the local parents and officials not to slack off on the mountain in the future, and the migration of a large number of people is also quite complicated, so it can only be handed over to the local officials to do.
