In addition to materials, the most important resource for warfare in the era of cold weapons is manpower!

Especially the people who transported supplies and sustained the war!

The battles of Mayi, Gaoque and Yanji, and the victories of the Han army were all built on hundreds of thousands of people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Especially in the Battle of Gaoque, most of China was mobilized for the war.

The Yanzhao region has even mobilized to every natural village.

Millions of people carried a stone of grain, bundles of arrows, and bows and crossbows to the front line to give to their own soldiers.

It ensured that the front-line Han army was always well fed and bombed, no matter what.

But this time, the timing of the Hexi campaign was too tight, and it almost overlapped with the traditional spring plowing date in northern China.

If the peasants were to be transferred to the war on a large scale, it would inevitably affect agriculture for an entire year.

The people of several counties will be in danger of famine!

No one dares to bear this price.

But war is on the horizon and has to be sent.

If the Han army cannot complete the preparations for war before the spring and March, then it is likely to miss the best opportunity to seize the Hexi Corridor!

Therefore, Liu Che ordered the suspension of the Wei River, the chasm, and the transformation of the Great River, and mobilized all the slave laborers involved in these projects to devote themselves to transporting materials and provisions, and participating in the war.

The total number of these slaves is now nearly 200,000!

It was mainly from the prisoners of war in the previous wars and the trade between the Han dynasty and the Northern Xiongnu and the Western Xiongnu.

These people have been tamed with whips and clubs in China, and they have a strong obedience and good physical condition.

On top of that, they don't require much resources to sustain.

Slave labor, food, clothing, and even life and death, don't need to be too concerned.

They are the best tool from an economic cost point of view.

Of course, their efficiency requires whips, clubs, and even swords to sustain them.

But it didn't matter, Liu Che immediately issued an edict, promising all slave laborers involved in the transfer of materials to pardon one-tenth of them when the war was over, and give them free status.

And the rest of the people also gave a promise.

As long as they work diligently, respect the law, and do not slack off or fight for the next five years, they will be pardoned after five years.

This is undoubtedly a picture cake.

Whether it's an order to pardon one-tithe, or a five-year period, it's a pie.

The reason is simple.

All slave laborers were prisoners of war or slaves from thousands or even thousands of miles away.

They have nothing and no relatives in China.

Even if you are free, where can you be free?

I am afraid that as soon as the front foot has been pardoned and freed, the back foot will have to sell itself to those big merchants and big workshop owners in order to survive.

From slave labor to bonded labor.

Although the status has changed, the situation has not changed at all.

It could even be worse!

Because, at least the tools are the means of production, but the bonded workers are only consumables!

Unless they can learn a skill and make the most vicious businessmen realize their value, it is better to serve the state as free labor.

At least the officials of the Shaofu still care about the free labor in their hands, and they will not let them starve to death or die of disease.

But when the slaves heard the news, they were very excited and excited.

"Ahura is on top, is that true?" Countless people tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.

In the past two years, there have been a few lucky ones among these slave workers.

Because of their hard work or excellent performance or skill, they were favored by the noble officials of the Eastern Empire, and they were given household registration to the Han family, and even did not hesitate to accept them as retainers.

These lucky ones then lived a life that was the envy of all.

They took off their shackles, removed their shackles, put on silk, and ate rice and noodles.

There are even people who have become overseers, which is enough to influence the blessings and misfortunes of thousands of people.

Everyone wants to be one of those lucky people, to get the household registration of this great empire, and thus to escape their own miserable fate.

As a result, the mood of the slave workers was immediately stabilized, and the officials of the Shaofu did not make much effort to pull this huge contingent of slave laborers out of various construction sites, and then organized them into convoys one after another.

However, there are only 200,000 slave laborers, and it is difficult to bear the burden of transporting the coming war!

However, soon, the campaign to check Yu Zi came to fruition.

Under the slogan of Jing Zhao Yin Boshi's 'hiding the remnants is to fight against the Son of Heaven', the county and township officials in Guanzhong gave full play to their subjective initiative and enthusiasm.

For the sake of black yarn hats, they went into the village, took the household registration book, and counted the population from house to house.

In just one month, they found more than 10,000 people in 68 counties in Guanzhong (including Xin'an and other new counties).

This remnant son is the name of those non-eldest sons who are adults but have not separated from their parents in the Shang Emperor's decree.

The remnant of the son, the remnant of the son.

Whether according to Qin law or Han law, these people must establish their own households!

However, whether it was the Qin Dynasty or the Han Dynasty, Yuzi was a widespread social problem.

And it is a group that Liu Che hates more than his son-in-law and ranger.

The sons-in-law and the rangers, at least tried to find their way on their own.

But these scum are gnawing old people who are attached to their parents and elder brothers.

Of course, this may be a bit harsh, in fact, many surplus children are actually the main labor force of the family.

They work with their fathers and brothers, but because of poverty or other reasons, they have no way to establish their own households - the children of the poor, once they become independent, almost mean abject poverty.

But as a ruler, Liu Che doesn't care about this.

He organized all these people into convoys.

Let them transport supplies to the front line, and at the same time, by the way, they will also send themselves to the area of Heli Mountain to participate in the reclamation on the spot.

And more than 10,000 children were found in Guanzhong, how many should there be in other places?

Liu Che was excited just thinking about it.

What's the matter, you can find out five or six hundred thousand, right?

If there are 500,000 or 600,000 men, then the immigrants from Heli Mountain and even the reclamation regiment in Hexi will be settled.

However, problems also arise.

If all of them are sent to the reclamation, then their wives will have to help them find them, right?

You can't let these hundreds of thousands of Han subjects all fight in a foreign land, right?

If so, sooner or later this will come out of the basket!

If this problem cannot be solved, the resettlement policy will definitely fail!

In order not to let the immigration policy fail, Liu Che, the emperor, can only become a matchmaker and find their fine monarchs for his hundreds of thousands of subjects.

"I, the emperor, can be regarded as having worked hard......" Liu Che also had to sigh: "Other kings are all powerful and blessed, wine ponds and meat forests, but I have to be responsible for sending sisters......"

But it can't be helped, that's how it is to develop abroad.

If you want to succeed, you have to do whatever it takes!
