The shortage of manpower is not impossible to solve, and it is enough to recruit some slang.

It's just that non-members of our race have different hearts, and it's easier to get into trouble if you reuse them without a certain degree of assimilation.

Even if the racial prejudice in Wen Yi's heart was not so deep, he didn't dare to open this mouth easily.

After thinking about it, he could only say: "The navy can recruit as many people as it can, but the soldiers recruited now must be trained as generals." ”

"It is necessary to teach them to read and write, teach the art of war, and when the population problem is solved in the future, they can quickly expand the army."

He Fangdao: "Yes." ”

"The shipyard focuses on cultivating Han craftsmen, and then recruits people from among the Chinese slang people to serve as helpers, and tries to train craftsmen if they feel reliable for a period of time."

"The water army can also recruit some Chinese slang, but remember not to discriminate against bullying, and must treat everyone equally."

"People have self-esteem, and discrimination will inevitably force them to disagree. If there is no way to treat everyone equally, then it is better not to recruit slang. Do you understand? ”

Wen Yi also felt the urgency of sinicizing slang, but this thing was really in a hurry. Sinicization is not as simple as letting them speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, this is just the appearance.

The real core is cultural, historical, and intellectual assimilation.

He already has a preliminary idea and is ready to start compiling a special textbook, but this will take time, and he can only slow down the development for now.

But he wasn't disappointed by that, and slowing down wasn't all bad, it could have made the foundation stronger.

Xie Daoyun returned to the mountain and was welcomed by the whole army. As long as she goes to that station, the morale of the army can rise by 30% without saying a word.

But it is unrealistic to say that everyone supports her to create Wenyi, it has nothing to do with ability, and the identity of a woman is doomed to be impossible.

The reason why everyone listens to her and respects her is first because of Wen Yi behind her, and secondly because of her ability.

The slang captives finally repaired their temporary settlements and began to build the walls instead.

The new city wall was not simply reinforced and heightened, but expanded, and the city area was tripled to accommodate 50,000 or 60,000 people.

At first, everyone thought that this area was too large to be used. Wenyi knew the development potential of Quanzhou and insisted on building according to this standard.

If it weren't for the conditions, he would even want to build a little bigger.

However, the location of this city is actually not good, when it was originally built only considering safety issues, the location is relatively close to the inside, which is not very suitable for being a commercial city.

When the conditions allowed, he would build a larger new city near the sea, which could be used as a satellite city.

Of course, these are all plans for the future, but for now, we should expand the city first.

The progress on He Fang's side was also very smooth, and after the recruitment announcement was posted, the young and middle-aged people in the city enthusiastically signed up.

This is thanks to the good reputation of the Langhu Army.

Drama, military and civilian fish and water conditions, public trial conferences, defeating slang people to support the Han people, all of which made the good reputation of the Langhu Army deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

I have to mention that the matter of dividing daughters-in-law is also a plus, although most of them are not short of daughters-in-law, but who would hate such an army?

Considering the ratio of military and civilian, He Fang still recruited only 400 people, and recruited 200 people from the Sinicized slang people to form a battalion of 600 people.

The recruitment of workers in the shipyard is smoother, and the helpers have a grain a month, which is a good thing that can't be found with a lantern.

Soon one hundred and fifty helpers were recruited, including one hundred Han Chinese and fifty Slang people. He also unexpectedly recruited three craftsmen, one of whom was a slang craftsman.

Xue Dayuan finally arrived four days later, and he came so late because he had taken care of the affairs on the Langhu side.

Various construction work in Langhu Lake has resumed, and major workshops have also restarted.

Wen Yi held a small welcome ceremony for him, and then officially appointed him as the governor of Jin'an County, exercising the power of the county order.

Xue Dayuan quickly took over government affairs, and within a few days, he took control of the overall situation and took care of everything in an orderly manner.

On the seventh day, that is, the appointed period, the leaders of the slang people came to the county seat to meet the new lord of Jin'an County.

"About two-thirds of the slang leaders arrived, and a third either watched or moved away."

It's already very satisfying to be able to come to so many people, and this is also thanks to the efforts of the previous generations of yamen to sinicize, otherwise most of these slang people will choose to escape.

Then he killed Ning Huai and Tan Zhen and their henchmen in front of these people, which really shocked these people.

So the follow-up negotiations went very smoothly, almost whatever he said slang.

This, of course, has to do with the fact that he did not put forward harsh conditions.

The first of his requirements to the slang people is to accept his rule, which is the proper meaning of the title and will not be repeated.

The second is the registration of slang people. But he didn't have to pay the poll tax, only the land tax - so he took the lead in implementing the policy of apportioning the land into the mu among the slang group.

Why were the ancient barbarians reluctant to become naturalized? Or even rebelled because of the issue of naturalization?

Because naturalization means paying taxes, they are already poor, and if they surrender to the imperial court, they have to pay taxes first, and no one wants to change it.

Wenyi promised not to collect their poll tax, only land tax, and would also send people to guide them in farming techniques, so the slang people would naturally be eager to become naturalized.

The third point is about mutual market trading, he will set aside a special place outside the county as a trading market, and both Han slang can trade here.

Even some slang people are allowed to work in the county, provided that they must learn to speak Sinicization and understand the rules of the Han people.

Fourth, all slang people must learn how to shave their hair and learn how to dress the Han people in Langhu.

Slang people don't say that shaving their hair is unfilial, and they even think it's honorable to use the same hairstyle as the Han people, so they agreed without hesitation.

Wen Yi emphasized that the reason for shaving his hair was to gain a sense of identity from the hairstyle and lay the foundation for subsequent assimilation.

Fifth, the various tribes of the slang are not allowed to attack and fight each other in private, and those who violate the order are regarded as rebels.

If there is a contradiction, it will be resolved through negotiation, and if it cannot be solved by itself, it will come to the county seat to find an official to adjust.

This was done to prevent the slang from privately annexing and forming a powerful force, and it could also subtly make them accustomed to the rule of Langhu.

There are some other articles later, but they can only be regarded as trivial compared to these five articles, so I will not go into details.

Anyway, the final result was that the slang people were very happy, and the whole of Jin'an County was also very satisfied, and everyone naturally sang praises to Wenyi.

But soon they found themselves rejoicing too soon, for the people were reluctant to learn of the agreement.
