Chapter 374: Conquer Baiyue

There are as many as 30,000 disabled people in Wu Kingdom?

Hearing this, the ministers in the court couldn't help but gasp and feel shocked.

After all, they don't see many people with disabilities on weekdays.

It's just that people with disabilities are often ashamed of themselves, and they rarely come out to meet people.

However, Ji Za changed his words again and said: "These 30,000 disabled people include congenital disabilities and acquired disabilities. ”

"Deafness, or blindness, or lameness, or paralysis, or lack of hands, or broken legs, are all disabilities."

"Among them, half of them are congenitally disabled, and only half are acquired with disabilities."

"Most of the acquired disabled are retired veterans, caused by the legacy of war. However, their blindness, lack of feet, or severed hands do not affect their work, but they may not be as efficient as those with sound limbs! ”

Hearing this, Qing Ji bowed slightly, this data is actually within his tolerable range.

Not surprisingly!

Even in later generations of China, with a population of more than one billion, there are about 85 million people with disabilities, accounting for 6.21% of the total population!

Now, the population of Wu is roughly 3 million, and people with disabilities account for 1 percent, which is not unacceptable!

After all, Wu is a country that fights all year round and is reckless, and there are many disabled soldiers the day after tomorrow.

Ji Za added: "According to the edict of the king, the disabled can be self-reliant, and if they are blind, they can learn music. ”

"If there are few feet and hands, they can also be taught the method of fishing and farming, so that they can earn a living and abandon it."

"If you are deaf and dumb, you can also teach them to read and hyphenate and send a doctor to recuperate."

"If you are an idiot, a madman, or a paralyzed person who is partially paralyzed, you will be recuperated and improved together, and the government will take care of it."

"For those who are really unable to support themselves, the government should also bear the food and clothing of one of them."

"The Department of Health Care is already implementing it, and I believe that the results will be visible in the near future."

"Good!"

For Ji Za's work, Qingji is still very relieved.

Besides, this disease care department is under the command of Fan Li, and Fan Li's ability is beyond doubt!

"King!"

At this time, Da Sima Sun stood up.

"What's the matter with Da Sima?"

"Sun Wu was edicted, led the army to the south, and the tribes in the southern part of Fuling Ling, there were few resistors, and most of them surrendered to the wind, and they were assigned to the rule of our Wu State. I believe that by the end of the year, Wu's southern expedition will definitely be able to take all the lands of Lingnan......"

Sun Ping's words are to the point.

He is reminding Qingji that he must take precautions and how to settle the land of Lingnan?

Since 771 BC, King Ping of Zhou was forced to move the capital of Ho Jing to Cheng Zhou after the disaster of the dog Rong, so it was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Among them, the Yue people in the land of Baiyue have been trading with the princes of the Central Plains to exchange silk and handicraft products of the Central Plains with ivory, tortoiseshell, rhino horn, fragrant wood, etc.

The so-called land of Baiyue includes the land of Wuyue, as well as many Yue tribes such as Yangyue, Donou, Minyue, Nanyue, Xiou, Luoyue and so on.

The distribution of Baiyue is seven or eight thousand miles from Jiaozhi to Huiji, and Baiyue is mixed, each with its own caste.

As for the Baiyue in the south of Wu, it includes the later Jiangxi, Fujian, and Liangguang, as well as some areas of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Yuenan monkeys, with a vast territory, which is larger than the current Wu State!

Much bigger!

With the national strength of the State of Wu at this time, if you want to completely establish effective rule over these places, so that you can't digest them, you can't do it at all!

The reason why Wu was able to quickly conquer the land of Lingnan was also due to the fact that Fucha had conquered the land of Lingnan before and established a state of Southern Wu, which made hundreds of Nanyue tribes subjugated.

After Fucha was killed, the leaders of those tribes also surrendered to the state of Wu.

In order to get the land of Lingnan, Qingji did not blame them for the past, as long as he promised to belong to the state of Wu, he could continue to be a chief.

In addition, most of the main forces of the Yue people have all folded in Huiji County.

This led to the Wu army's southern expedition being very smooth, unlike the later Qin army's expedition to Baiyue.

You must know that after Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, he also sent 500,000 troops to conquer Baiyue in the south, three times before and after, which took many years and killed and injured hundreds of thousands of people, so he completely conquered Baiyue!

That's the army of tigers and wolves that once swept through the six countries!

In order to conquer the land of Lingnan, the Qin Dynasty paid a very heavy price.

Now, the state of Wu has been able to successfully capture the land of Lingnan.

I have to admit that Qingji is far-sighted.

Of course, at this time, the Yue people in Lingnan had not yet formed a climate.

The land of Lingnan led by Sun Wu included Fujian, Jiangxi and Liangguang in later generations, this land is very vast and narrow, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not easy to really conquer it completely.

At this time, Dazai Jiza stood up and said to Qingji: "The king, the old minister thinks that the land of Lingnan is too vast, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the miasma will be full of miasma, and the place where poisonous insects and beasts often haunt is barren and not suitable for settlement. ”

"Therefore, when our Wu army conquered the land of Lingnan, it can migrate the local natives to the country, and even settle in the local area, and carry out indoctrination, so as to enrich the population of Wu!"

As soon as they heard this, the ministers all stood up and agreed.

The servant Shen Xi said loudly: "King, what Dazai said is very true! ”

"The land of Lingnan is a wild land, and its people are also rumao and drink blood, do not obey the king, and the roads are blocked, and the environment is bad."

"It's different from Jiangnan, and it's even more different from the Central Plains!"

"If my Wu Kingdom wants to rule the land of Lingnan, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it!"

"Exactly!"

Shaofu was separated and said: "King, if you want to govern the land of Lingnan, the gains outweigh the losses!" ”

"Only by digesting the Yue people and integrating them with my Wu country, regardless of each other, is the royal road!"

In the huge court, more than 100 ministers, the vast majority of whom had already stood up, asked Qingji to relocate the South Vietnamese from the land of Lingnan to the country, instead of establishing rule over the land of Lingnan.

This made Qingji hesitate.

Because in his mind, the Yue people in Lingnan can also be assimilated by the Wu State.

Because hundreds of years ago, Wu Di was also a Yue person - Yangyue (Jing Man).

The main characteristics of their and the Yue people are that they have broken hair and tattoos, wrong arms and left arms, and they are easy to attack each other among tribes, most of them are cave dwellings, engaged in fishing and simple agricultural production, and the whole is in an uncivilized barbaric state.

Even at this time, in the land of Wu, there were still some Yue people who retained their primitive state, and they could accept the governance of Wu, and there were few contradictions.

Because Qingji is very generous, Wu Guo is also inclusive, can respect the local culture, as well as customs, and will not force them to change their past habits.

Of course, the premise is that you can't offend the bottom line in Qingji's heart!

Paying tribute on time, paying taxes, and communicating with Wu are important reasons why all Yue tribes can survive in Wu.
