When Liu He left Juyong County, it can be said that he had a bumper harvest and was very beautiful.

One hundred adult ploughing cattle, five hundred high-quality war horses, one thousand fat live sheep, three thousand Wuhuan slaves, plus one thousand Wuhuan warriors, this is a dazzling wealth, enough to make any ordinary person in Youzhou instantly become a first-class rich family in the state.

Not to mention the value of those livestock and war horses, just three thousand slaves are three thousand honest and obedient strong laborers, who can create continuous wealth for their masters' families by farming or working, not to mention a thousand Wuhuan soldiers who are hard to buy.

However, this hot wealth for others is really nothing in the eyes of the eldest prince who owns the seven counties of Youzhou. This autumn breeze from the tribe on that floor this time, compared to the population of more than 4 million and the army of nearly 100,000 in Youzhou, it is just a drop in the bucket, and it is not enough to even plug the gaps. What Liu He really values is not how much wealth and military resources the nearly 100,000 Wuhuan people in Shanggu County can provide him, what he needs is the true obedience and reliability of the Wuhuan people here.

In other words, the Wuhuan tribe in this area of Juyong County is a test field for Liu He to implement his own ethnic policy, and it is also a window to show the Wuhuan people in other counties.

After the team left Juyong County, it did not return to Juyong Pass along the route of Liu He's arrival, but turned to Fuyang County, which is seventy miles away from Juyong County in the southwest.

Fuyang County is located on the north bank of the river, from here along the river all the way to the southeast, you can reach Jixian County, which is a lot of time less than walking through the mountains of the military capital. A few years ago, Xiahoulan and Zhao Yun escorted grain and grass from Jicheng to Macheng, which was the path they took.

The 2,000 infantry carefully prepared by Weidun for Liu He did not come in handy, they were brought back to the pass by Tian Chou and returned to Weidun, while Liu He was escorted by a hundred dead guards and a thousand newly recruited Wuhuan soldiers, and let the three thousand slaves pull cattle and sheep all the way back to Jicheng.

In the beginning. Xu Huang and Murong Ping insisted that Tian Chou escort Liu He back to Jicheng with two thousand infantry from Juyong Pass, instead of letting Wuhuan soldiers and slaves follow Liu He together, but Liu He refused. Liu He didn't want the 2,000 soldiers in Juyong Pass to toss back and forth for himself, and at the same time, he was also very confident in his prestige and appeal.

Xu Huang and Murong Ping were worried that the newly recruited thousand Wuhuan soldiers would not obey the control, and if they defected or even launched an attack on Liu He on the way, it would be a great threat. Also, the 3,000 slaves were a problem. They used to be under the orders of the Wuhuan people, but now they have suddenly changed their masters, and they haven't changed their brains for a while, maybe they will be secretly instigated and used by a thousand Wuhuan warriors. That's even more dangerous.

In order to dispel the worries of the two generals, Liu He announced two pieces of news to the Wuhuan soldiers and the three thousand slaves, and the result was completely subdued, and there was no accident along the way.

Liu He told the 1,000 Wuhuan soldiers that after the beginning of the year, those who performed well among them would be added to Zhao Yun's command and become a member of the Youzhou cavalry in the Central Plains in the future, and from then on they would be admired by the world and supported by the troops. Such a message. For the Wuhuan soldiers who wanted to be soldiers and eat food, it was absolutely unwanted, so their attitude towards Liu He's enthusiastic support instantly exploded, directly surpassing Nawu Kangning, who was traveling with the team.

Nawu Kangning returned to Jicheng with Liu He this time. Go directly to Youyan Academy to study and listen to the teachings of the university scholar Cai Yong. Liu He gave the chief ten places in the building, and the old fox only sent his own son to Jicheng to study in order to ensure the dominance of the Nawu clan in the tribe. As for the other nine places, he took the initiative to lower them by one notch and merged them into the other twenty places to enter Yenching University.

If you use an analogy. Youyan Academy, which Cai Yong personally presided over, is like a graduate school within a university, and although it is also part of Yenching University, the level of talent cultivated is obviously much higher than that of the "undergraduate" college, which widely recruits students. As long as there is Cai Yong's gold signboard, in the future, scholars from all over the Han Dynasty who want to enter Youyan Academy will definitely have to break their heads, and Liu Heneng will give ten places to the tribe in that building, which should be of a caring nature.

Of course, as soon as Liu He opened his mouth, he gave ten study places in that building, and he didn't hide some other thoughts. It's just that the "turtle" with little culture in that building is obviously not stupid, and he would rather waste nine places in vain than have a few opponents in the tribe who may compete with his son in the future.

Although Liu He's kindness was swept away in that building, he sent his eldest son to Jicheng to study was tantamount to handing over the proton in disguise, so Liu He did not dwell on this matter, and he agreed to it.

In addition to letting a thousand Wuhuan warriors see the hope of changing their fate, Liu He also let the three thousand Wuhuan slaves who were originally living in a mess see the hope of changing their fate. Liu He told the slaves that some of them would have the opportunity to become servants and subordinates of the Central Plains scholars, while the able-bodied ones would have the opportunity to become tenant farmers in the families of the casualties, and the rest would be sent to Macheng Tuntian.

For these slaves, even if the worst ending is to go to Macheng Tuntian, it is much better than staying in Juyong County and being slaves for the Wuhuan people. Because there are clear regulations in the Governor's Mansion of Huwuhuan, the lives of all the young and strong laborers involved in Tuntian are protected by the government, and no one has the right to take them away easily, not to mention that they can still have enough to eat, and there is still some food to share throughout the year.

These Wuhuan slaves are two-legged cattle and sheep in the Wuhuan tribe, and the master family can slaughter and sell them at will, without any life guarantee and survival rights.

As for becoming a tenant farmer in the family of the casualties in Youzhou, or even becoming a servant of the Central Plains scholars who have just come to Jicheng, for these slaves, it is equivalent to reincarnation again.

Tenant farmers had no land, but they had the power to form families and raise children, and the children of the tenant farmers did not necessarily have to farm, they could go to apprenticeship, join the army, and engage in business, which was a hundred times better than being a slave.

If you can be a servant or subordinate to the scholars of the Central Plains, it will make these slaves yearn even more. Everyone knows that the future identity of those scholars brought back to Youzhou by the eldest prince of Ludao from Luoyang is indescribably precious, in case there is a county guard and a state pastor, even if it is a servant in the house, it is also a noble status, and it can be regarded as a dependence from now on.

Liu He's hand does not seem very profound, but it just gives everyone a hope and goal, but the effect is very obvious. The Wuhuan soldiers obeyed Liu He's orders along the way, letting them do whatever they wanted, and none of them disobeyed the marching discipline. Wuhuan slaves behaved more actively, they were responsible for Liu He's cattle, herding sheep and feeding horses, in order to prevent these animals from losing fat and sick, the slaves were eager to walk with the sheep in their arms, carrying the cattle and horses to the road......

Guo Jia, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but say to Liu He: "Gongzi's means of buying people's hearts are becoming more and more sophisticated now, but they are just two promises, which make these unruly Wuhuan soldiers so well-behaved and obedient, so that the eyes of the slaves who are like walking corpses exude brilliance." ”

Liu He did not take Guo Jia's words as resentment, and said thoughtfully: "Hope is the greatest motivation for people to live, if one day I can make everyone in the eyes of the Han people see hope, then the Han will really have the hope of prosperity and strength!" ”

"I want everyone to see the hope of living...... How difficult! Guo Jia sighed, and there was a rare taste of old-fashioned on his young face.

On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the eldest prince who had disappeared in Jicheng for a month suddenly appeared outside the west gate of Jicheng, which surprised the people who entered and exited the city gate and the defenders at the head of the city.

Liu He also knew that the movement of returning to the city this time was a bit big, and thousands of people and thousands of livestock lined up outside the city for more than two miles, and it was difficult for people not to see it. In line with the principle of not exposing wealth, Liu He asked the lieutenant guarding the west gate to hurry up and call Xian Yuyin over, while he himself hid in the carriage and did not come forward.

After a while, Xian Yuyin, who had basically recovered, rode a horse out of the west gate and drove straight to Liu He's car.

"Childe, which rich family did you rob here?" As soon as they met, Xian Yuyin couldn't hide his surprise, and asked Liu He in a chattering voice.

Liu He told Xian Yuyin angrily: "Get out!" This is the New Year's gift given to me by the chief of Wuhuan in Shanggu, is this son what kind of person robbed the house? ”

"Childe sent someone to call me here, what do you have to do?"

"Later, I will go directly to the city with Feng Xiao and Gongming, and after I am far away, you and Murong Ping will take these Wuhuan soldiers, slaves and livestock directly to the northern military camp that was vacant at the previous time, and settle them all down first! Remember, these Wuhuan soldiers, slaves, and livestock are the property of this son, you have to show me, if there is one less person, a cow, and a horse, I will not let you take the position of general of Duliao! ”

Xian Yuyin had a whimsical expression on his face, and asked curtly: "Childe, what if there is one less sheep?" ”

"Look at your bear-like look! No matter how stingy this son is, can he still eat your mutton without you during the New Year? ”

After Liu He said this, he lowered the curtain and asked Xu Huang to drive in person and go into the city with Guo Jia.

Half an hour later, Xian Yufu personally led the way in front and properly sent the "harvest" of the eldest prince's trip into the northern military camp, and then immediately dispatched three hundred soldiers to guard the military camp.

Seeing that the New Year is coming, the people and businessmen who came to Jicheng to buy New Year's goods from nearby counties have increased significantly in the past few days, many people have seen such a huge number of livestock being led into the city, and those high-class slaves with sturdy bodies and faces branded with signs are also eye-catching.
