Chapter 645: Change

Previous Chapter

Here, Liu Pan met Emperor Xian of Han in Xudu and got the desired result.

On the other hand, Liu Qi sat in Jiangxia Taishou Mansion, and while sending a sufficient number of clerks to the Xudu Palace, he also started the large-scale development of the four counties of Jingnan.

In the Jiangxia army, haven't there been a lot of second- and third-rate generals recently, and Liu Qi naturally has to make good use of their strength to accelerate the development of the four counties of Jingnan.

Ahem, in fact, it is just the work of opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water.

On the official roads in Jiangxia County, as long as there is no rainy weather, you can often see more than a dozen sergeants, pushing 500 catties of stone mills to roll and compact.

The weight below 1,000 catties is not an unbearable weight for the well-trained Jiangxia soldiers.

Sometimes in a hurry, three or two sergeants can carry a heavy stone on their backs and walk like a fly.

It's not that you can't use a stone grinder of more than 1,000 catties, and a dozen or so sergeants can still use it easily, but it's not necessary for the time being.

With the passage of time, the official roads in Jiangxia gradually became smooth and spacious, and the number of pedestrians, vehicles and horses that could pass gradually increased.

That is, because of the lack of manpower, otherwise according to Liu Qi's mind, the official road must be based on a solid gravel road.

Pedestrians and business travelers have long been accustomed to it, and they are very satisfied with the smooth official roads in Jiangxia, which are much stronger than other places.

This hand also appeared in the four counties of Jingnan.

The official roads were leveled and widened by the local garrison in person, and they encountered obstacles from the mountains, unless the mountains were high and the forests were dense and difficult to clear the area, they directly invited the newly rising second- and third-rate generals to directly chop the mountains wildly.

The fierce and domineering sword qi roared, and it was born in the not thick mountain, opening up a road for pedestrians, cars and horses to walk.

When encountering a turbulent river, you can either directly take the stone and cut it into stone strips and directly use it as the main base of the bridge, or you can get a century-old giant tree to build a stable bridge.

In a short period of time, the four counties of Jingnan, which were originally barren places, had spacious and smooth official roads, solid and durable bridges, and greatly improved traffic conditions.

With good traffic conditions, the caravans from Jiangxia and Nanjun naturally took the initiative to come to the door, and even the caravans from Xiangyang were not to be outdone.

With the increase in exchanges with the outside world, the economy of the four counties of Jingnan has developed rapidly, and the living standards of the people have been improving day by day.

The specialties of the four counties of Jingnan can be transported through more and more convenient transportation, and the types of goods that come in are also diverse.

As long as there are commodities in Jiangxia at this time, they can be seen in the four counties of Jingnan at this time.

It can be said that at this time, the four counties of Jingnan were unprecedentedly rich in material life.

Such a thriving scene naturally attracted most of the people from all walks of life who lived in the mountains and forests.

No matter who you are, you all yearn for a better life.

Not to mention, at this time, the living standards of the people in the four towns of Jingnan have been greatly improved, but the Yi people living in the mountains and forests are still standing still.

The quality of life of the people living in cities and towns is already better than that of the Yi people, and now the gap has widened to the point that it is difficult to ignore.

Then, some small Yi tribes who had a good relationship with the Han people took the initiative to send envoys down the mountain, expressing their desire to integrate into the life circle of the Han people.

There is no way, the gap in living standards is too big, even if the Yiren practice slavery at this time, they can't suppress the people's impatience.

If you don't want to be killed in the internal strife, you can only conform to the 'people's will' and honestly go down the mountain to cooperate with the government of the four counties of Jingnan.

The officials of the four counties of Jingnan are naturally happy, but they are extremely short of labor at the moment.

Whether it is building roads and bridges or cultivating wasteland, the four counties of Jingnan can be said to be vast and sparsely populated, so they can't always use well-trained troops, right?

It is impossible for the local garrisons to be completely transferred to the production and construction corps, and there is not so much labor force to use.

The people of the four counties of Jingnan have basically made use of what can be used.

Because the Jingnan region has not been vigorously developed, it is difficult to develop at this time, and the labor required can be said to be a vehicle bucket.

But in each county, the number of labor force that can be used is only a little more than 2 million, how can such a small number be enough?

This is the result of making use of all the men, women, and children who can be used, and even less than a million if they have a strong labor force alone.

These labors must also be trained simply, and must be carried out by well-trained sergeants with the temptation of labor and visible benefits, but this is still not enough.

It is not so easy to just level out the official road.

You have to consider the terrain and landform, as well as the bearing capacity of the young and strong people, after all, it is not a sergeant who has cultivated the martial arts in the army and has been physically trained to be very strong.

Even if the government hires them, they can eat a full meal for free, and at the same time have one to three catties of miscellaneous grains to take, the daily labor intensity is still limited.

The government is not a good church, it is good to be able to maintain a full meal every day, at most there is a little more oil star in the dish, and that's it.

It is impossible for these people's bodies to reach the best state because of a full meal, no matter how you look at it.

The number of Yi people in the four counties of Jingnan is not less than that of the Han people.

The key thing is that the living environment of the Yi people is harsh, and the mortality rate of the elderly and children is extremely high, so the number of young and strong people is also quite amazing.

If the Yiren of the four counties can be brought under the rule and the labor force of the Yiren can be fully utilized, the development speed of the four counties of Jingnan will be even higher.

Liu Qi did not take tough measures against the people of Jingnanyi, which would only intensify the contradictions and distract his energy, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the gains outweighed the losses.

It is better to use a higher quality of life and a better standard of living to attract them to take the initiative to invest, so that there will be fewer troubles and hidden dangers.

In fact, with a group of Yi tribes who already had a good relationship with the Han people, they took the initiative to come out of the mountains and forests and were carefully resettled by the local government.

With the help of government officials and garrison soldiers, he soon joined the construction army that developed Jingnan, and after receiving enough generous returns and benefits, he completely integrated into the life of Hermes-Epitek with peace of mind.

In this era, the people of the four counties of Jingnan have several poor relatives in each family, and the Yi people who live in the mountains and forests have more poor relatives.

With relatives who eat crabs and have a good life as an example, the rest of the Yi people who are still living a hard life in the mountains and forests can't stand it.

There are examples of relatives who ignore the threats and warnings of the tribal leaders and even the priests, and go out of the mountains and forests one by one to join the local government or relatives, hoping to live a good life together.

The local government has Liu Qi's strict orders, but they don't dare to be as powerful as the previous officials, and they are quite enthusiastic about the Yi people who take the initiative to defect, and they are properly settled.

During this period, it was not without contradictions.

However, Liu Qi had already prepared, and instructed the local government and garrison to set up several more martial arts rings in places where Yi and Han people lived.

With a very tough attitude, he said that there were contradictions to be resolved in the ring.

Even if it is a great feud between life and death, as long as you sign a life and death certificate and go to the ring, then life and death depend on your ability.

After the local garrison severely taught the Yi and Han people who did not listen to the greetings a few times, they became more honest and peaceful, and there was a place to vent their contradictions.

At this time, the Han people were not the wretched sons of the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were full of blood and amazing combat effectiveness, and they were not afraid of provocation at all.

They have lived a good life for a while early, and their physical fitness has been fully improved, and they all have hundreds of kilograms of strength.

Not to mention, the garrison intentionally or unintentionally spread the martial arts in the army, and the fist and foot kung fu alone is enough to crush the so-called Yiren warriors.

Of course, Yiren is not easy to bully!

Those who can survive in such a harsh environment as dense mountains and forests are all shrewd hunters.

What surprised the garrison the most was that the poison technique of Yiren and the 'method of inviting gods' were not vegetarians.

Once the Yi people use poison techniques, it is basically difficult for the Han people to fight.

Fortunately, drug production is also a high-cost matter, even among the Yi people, there are only a few people who have mastered the ability to make drugs, otherwise the local garrison is afraid that they will be ruthless and deterrent.

In addition, I don't know what kind of power the Jingnanyi people have inherited, and they actually have the means of channeling and inviting spirits to the body.

This is similar to the so-called god witch and the means of the god to fight.

Once the Lingyi is successful, the Yiren's combat power will immediately increase exponentially, unless it is an entry-level general, it is not so easy to deal with the most ordinary Lingyi people.

Fortunately, there is a price to be paid for inviting spirits, and every time after inviting spirits, the person who asks for spirits will fall seriously ill because of physical weakness.

You must know that the medical skills of this era are quite touching, not that there are no divine doctors who have no interests, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing are the existence of this era, but there are too few and too few medical skills.

The Han people are so scarce doctors, not to mention the Yi people, whose survival is even more difficult.

How many people can be saved by the priests and witch doctors of the tribe alone?

Fortunately, because of the good attitude of the local government and the obvious deterrent effect of the local garrison, the Han-Yi contradiction in the four counties of Jingnan is not prominent.

As more and more Yi people descend the mountain, settle in the villages and towns under the mountain, and take the initiative to participate in the development and construction of Jingnan, the living standard has been greatly improved.

Life is better, and few Yi people are willing to take the initiative to provoke right and wrong.

When the government opened a school in their place of residence, they did not need propaganda and agitation, and they actively sent their children to school to read and write.

With a stable life, it is natural to seek a better quality of life.

But the people of Xiashan Yi found that unless they have 'a skill', they can only do some hard work, and it is not easy to get a better living environment.

They have found that there are no ways to achieve a better quality of life, and that literacy training courses organized by the government and schools for children are the best ways to improve themselves......
