Chapter 302: Straight Road
PS: Thank you to the brother of the Count of Monte Cristo for a monthly ticket!
The move of Jingguan, used at this time, although it can deter the Quartet, but it will indeed attract the criticism of the people of the world, and the princes who still exist today will use it as an excuse to attack Cao Cao.
What's more, Cao Cao already had the methods to deal with these barbarians a long time ago, so it is even more unlikely that he would choose to kill them all and cast them into Jingguan.
The reason for Cao Cao's opposition is not something that those officials can imagine, they can imagine at this time, that is, since Cao Cao is against Jingguan, it means that Tian Chou's words are equivalent to saying in vain, and their rights are still there and will not disappear.
At the same time, since Cao Cao opposed the casting of Jingguan, then he must have chosen to release it, after all, from the past to the present, after the victory of the foreign war, there are only these two ways to dispose of the barbarian prisoners, Cao Cao gave up the Jingguan and chose to release it, which undoubtedly shows their victory.
"Your Majesty!"
In the earth-shattering cheers, Cao Cao clearly saw the joy on the faces of those officials, the sneer and resentment towards Tian Chou, and the fleeting disappointment and sad sigh of Tian Chou.
"However, the policy of repatriation, Lone will not take it, if these Xianbei captives are released, it will inevitably cause the barbarians outside the Saiwai to have no awe from now on, and at the same time, it will make Kebi can just lose the vitality, so it will be recovered, the policy of returning, on the bright side, Xuanrende is in the four seas, causing all the people in the world and the barbarians outside the Saiwai to return to their hearts, in fact, it is to make the barbarians outside the Saiwai no longer have a sense of awe from now on, making it more rampant to invade our Han land, this policy is absolutely not advisable!"
After Cao Cao's words fell, no official dared to speak anymore, what to say, is it a clear law to say that release, except for fools, no one can hear the meaning of Cao Cao's words.
These words were almost not directly pointed at the faces of these officials. scolding them for being spies sent by barbarians, if they really jump out at this time, it will be equivalent to hitting the muzzle of the gun, which is equivalent to saying it unmistakably. He is a spy of the barbarians, and for the lives of those thousands of barbarians, these officials have not yet reached the point of being such saints.
"The ministers will listen quietly to the king's holy judgment."
By this time, most of the officials had understood. Cao Cao opposed Tian Chou's method of Jingguan, and opposed the method of releasing himself and others, either Cao Cao was not satisfied with these two methods, or Cao Cao already had a method, and the inquiry just now was just a formality, and judging from the look on Cao Cao's face, most officials chose the second one.
"The law of Jingguan is too cruel and hurts the peace of the heavens, but let it go. But it also made the Quartet despise my Han, and since then it has been more rampant to invade my Han land, these two methods are not advisable, and after thinking about it, I came up with a two-way strategy, that is, these Xianbei captives are reduced to slaves, and all things that are labor are replaced by Xianbei captives, therefore, these thousands of Xianbei captives. Lone decided to use it to build a straight road from Youzhou directly to Jizhou, and then from Jizhou to Chendu! ”
Now, Cao Cao finally said his method. That is to learn from the Roman Empire in the West, reduce these captives to slaves, and replace all the manpower needed in the work of labor and money with these humble slaves.
There is a saying in later generations that all roads lead to Rome, and we can know from this sentence alone. The number of roads in the Roman Empire, and the series of benefits that resulted from them, are too numerous to count.
For example, the speed of the march, the trade wealth brought by the roads, etc., not to mention, a large part of the centuries-old rule of the Roman Empire was due to these direct roads to Rome.
In the later period, it was because of these roads that the rule of the declining Roman Empire was maintained for nearly two centuries, and these straight roads that shocked later generations were covered with the corpses of the slaves captured by the Roman Empire after the conquest of the West, and at the same time, the slave trade was one of the pillars that supported the early Roman Empire.
This method of the Roman Empire, not only the greatest way to eat the benefits after the foreign conquest, will be transformed into one of the materials to strengthen themselves, but also to prevent the vitality of those hostile forces from recovering, it can be said to be a good way to kill two birds with one stone, for Cao Cao, although he does not like the West very much, but will not oppose the West because of this, reject the West one qiē, as long as it can strengthen its own strength, Cao Cao will not mind, with the doctrine of taking it to implement it.
And in the face of Cao Cao's unprecedented method, the officials below were stunned, they had never heard of such a fresh method, but everyone present was not stupid, they all understood that the benefits of Cao Cao's method just now could be said to be beneficial and harmless.
At this moment, everyone was convinced by Cao Cao, who was the leader, doing what ordinary people can't do, doing what ordinary people can't do, such a person will make the people with him feel admired, admired and in awe from the bottom of their hearts.
Undoubtedly, Cao Cao, who proposed such an unprecedented method at this time, was admired by everyone present, and at this moment, no matter who it was, they all knelt down in front of Cao Cao sincerely, and shouted respectfully: "The king is wise, and the ministers are ordered!" ”
"Okay, Wen Ruo, this matter will also be handed over to you, while there is still some time before winter, you immediately start to build a straight road, those Xianbei captives, as long as they don't starve to death, the rest, they don't need it."
In fact, ancient China is not without the construction of straight roads, the famous Qin Dynasty has built a huge straight road from Xianyang to the Great Wall, so that the army of the Qin army, it is easy to do the morning and evening, the reason why the successor Han Dynasty did not continue to build the straight road, one of the most important is the construction of the straight road, it is too much labor and money, if you are not careful, it is easy to cause turmoil in the world.
The chaos at the end of Qin, one of them is the Qin Dynasty to levy strong men, the reason for the construction of the Six Kingdoms Chi Road, there is a lesson from the previous car, the successor of the Han Dynasty, of course, it is impossible to continue to build roads, and after the Han Wu Emperor, there is no border pass of the Han Dynasty emperors, but also directly put the idea of building the Chi Road into the cold palace.
Cao Cao used Xianbei captives to build a straight road, and there was no worry about this, if he really dared to mess up, then the Cao army who was guarding them could easily suppress it without any psychological burden and worry.
Outside the Great Wall, there are quite a few Xianbei slaves, even if these Xianbei slaves are killed, they can still continue to capture more Xianbei slaves to build straight roads, and it is also some other things that cost people and money, such as canals and so on. (To be continued.) )
