Chapter 156 The Disposal of Huaiyi Prisoners
"Monarch, there are many of these Huaiyi, and they are not etiquette and have not yet been civilized. It will be easy for us to surrender them, but it will not be easy to tame them. ”
After Gao Lishi finished reporting the situation in various places, Xie An on the side spoke. Although he also understood the importance of population, he did not support Zhang Shuo's large-scale subjugation of Huaiyi.
In his opinion, it is the right thing to do to recruit a young man from this group and use it to build the country. Once too many barbarians were brought together. The slightest carelessness can easily lead to riots, which is not conducive to management and wastes food.
Of course, in Xie An's heart, there is also a trace of rejection. At present, there are more than 930,000 Han people registered in Donghai County, and from last night to now, Qianguo has captured no less than 100,000 Huaiyi. Judging from the current situation, there may be more than 100,000 or even 200,000 Huaiyi prisoners in the future. The integration of these nearly 300,000 Huaiyi into the state will inevitably have a tremendous impact on the stability of the Qianguo.
"What Xie Dazai said is true, the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of Huaiyi is a very thorny problem. After all, people everywhere have xenophobic complexes, and even the relocation of the next village will be squeezed out and suppressed by the local people, not to mention aliens.
The last time the two towns were vacated for strangers, the follow-up livelihood problems continued to occur one after another, and fights and brawls often occurred, and local officials were miserable. If these Huaiyi are dealt with in the way of aliens, then at least one county of land needs to be vacated! This move will seriously shake the foundation of the country. Think twice! Think again! ”
Wang Anshi, director of the Ministry of Governance, also spoke. Gao Lishi, Wang Yanzhang, Huang Zhong, and Sima Tai on the side all nodded. On this issue, the courtiers were surprisingly unanimous in their thinking.
"These are the questions that Lone has also considered. In this way, in several major battles with Shu the day before yesterday, the main soldiers and government soldiers in various places suffered heavy losses. Especially the government soldiers of Lanling, Tancheng, and Hexiang. In this case, it is better to directly supplement these more than 100,000 people to the military governments in various places. Han Sheng, you first select a group of strong young men from among these Yi people, form an independent army, and you are responsible for leading it. ”
"The last general has thanked the king."
Huang Zhong, who was on the side, couldn't help but be touched after hearing that Zhang Shuo had directly granted the right to form new soldiers. Thinking that he was in a high position in Shu before, he was one of the five generals in Shu State. But for the sake of the child, he had to betray his old master, who treated him well, and naturally complained about Zhang Shuo in his heart.
It's just that after he came to Qianguo, he was infected by Zhang Shuo's Corporal Lixian, and saw that his eldest son Huang Xu's illness treatment was promising, which made the resentment in his heart dissipate a lot.
Now, Zhang Shuo completely disregarded him as a new recruit, and directly gave him the important task of a military army. This made Huang Zhong, who was originally a mustard, a little more complicated.
And Zhang Shuo didn't care about the change in Huang Zhong's expression, and after granting Huang Zhong military rights, he continued: "Except for the new army newly formed by Han Sheng, the remaining young and strong, women, and old people are all incorporated into the military governments of various places. Although it is a bit troublesome to put them in charge of farming directly. However, it is also a good idea to let them be in charge of infrastructure projects in various places as sappers, and their strength and quality are greater than those of ordinary Han Chinese, and they can do a lot of high-intensity coolie work excellently.
As for the question of shelter, they can temporarily build some shelters that can only shelter them from the wind and rain as a temporary shelter. At present, there is a lot of vacant land in Donghai County, and an area can be re-planned in the future to accommodate Huaiyi.
In addition, those Huaiyi children were all assigned to the schools in various places according to the treatment of the children of the government soldiers, and they were still young and had not yet formed their own thoughts. We must take this opportunity to teach them and let them establish the concept of being Qianguo people. ”
"I think the placement of the children is not proper." Just when Zhang Shuo was talking eloquently about his many ideas, Sima Tai, director of the Department of Household Registration, suddenly spoke up to oppose it, and when he saw that some people were opposed, Zhang Shuo, who was originally full of interest, couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at the other party and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Monarch, originally I was in Donghai County, since Sun Ru raised his army, the people have been displaced, and the people have no livelihood. Later, although the monarch swept away, whether it was the original people of our country or the refugees who joined later, there were many orphans. The older children entered the military government, and the younger ones could only rely on eating hundreds of meals, and starvation and freezing to death were commonplace.
The original government soldiers made great efforts in the battle of Qianshu, and the monarch treated them well. But now, the monarch wants to give special treatment to the children of the soldiers even to these rebels. It's chilling.
Then there's the issue of education. Everything is inferior, only reading is high. If the situation allows, ordinary people, who don't want their children to read and learn words, will get ahead in the future. But now the monarch has directly given these Yiren teenagers, and only the children of the government soldiers can enjoy the free education, so is it a little unfair to the other people of the Qianguo? ”
Sima Tai, director of the Department of Household Registration, was speechless. Zhang Shuo has been thinking about the resettlement of the Huaiyi people, and he has indeed ignored many factors, but now after listening to Sima Tai's words, he suddenly realized that he was considering the resettlement of the problem, and he took it for granted.
"So be it...... These Yi people are still incorporated into the military government. However, in terms of treatment, it is necessary to lower one level, and the former government soldiers only need to pay 30% of the grain as a tax for this year's autumn harvest, and after next year, they will be exempted from taxes. And these soldiers will pay 30% of the grain as taxes in the future. And those Yiren children are still incorporated into the military academies of various prefectures, and on the basis of the original taxes of their parents' families, an additional 10% of the taxes are levied, and they also stay in the school to do chores on weekdays and holidays to offset the tuition fees of the school.
After all, in order to fully integrate these Yi people into our country, the education of these children is indispensable. For this reason, it is necessary to isolate them from those elderly Huaiyi. Anyway, bringing dozens of children is a belt, and bringing hundreds of children is also a belt, so let those gentlemen in the school work harder first. If these Huaiyi children are not good at dealing with people, they will first draw a few veterans from the regular army of various ministries and train them for three months to familiarize them with the rules before entering school. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Shuo made a new arrangement. And Xie An, Wang Anshi and others also acquiesced to Zhang Shuo's Hu Lai after some eye contact.
"Then how to solve these daily rations that Huaiyi needs?"
Wang Anshi asked again with an embarrassed expression: "At present, nearly half of the grain and grass in the treasury have been consumed after the war with Shu. Although there is an indemnity given by Shu, it can only be said to be barely surviving. It is simply not enough to cope with such a large shortfall. ”
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
