Chapter 38 Disposition in accordance with law
Tianshui County is full of favors, and it can't be said that he is not a talent, but it is difficult to do more when he has just taken office and everything starts from the basics.
What's more, the location of Tianshui County is extremely sensitive, the north is adjacent to Liangzhou's Guangwei, the west is the current border county of Longxi, and the south is Wudu County.
Therefore, the first thing Man Chong did when he took office was to understand the current military strength of Tianshui County, and then work hard to restore civilian production while ensuring that there was a certain military force that could be used.
The agricultural situation in this part of Tianshui County can only be regarded as average, and after the chaos in the past few years, there is no grain stock at all. If it weren't for the support of the imperial court, it might not have been able to survive this time.
It is a matter of great effort to stabilize the situation in Tianshui County, but it is far from being able to talk about prosperity.
"In addition to the people of the Han Dynasty under the jurisdiction of Tianshui County, there are also many people of the Qiang tribe, who either hunt for a living, or sell some small items, and most of them are still living in peace. ”
"But there are always a small number of people, either who have just moved from Bi, or who have a mission in their own right, and after coming to Tianshui County, they don't do anything about production, but make trouble everywhere, only from the beginning of this year to the present, there have been no more than ten cases!"
Man Zhong was helpless about this, especially considering the current embarrassing situation of the imperial court (provided by the first tyrant in history), and he did not dare to use force at will. But it is impossible for him to endure it like this, during this time, Manzhong has already strengthened the patrols of the soldiers, and at the same time, he asked the court whether it is necessary to use force to solve it?
Even Yu Manzhong has already prepared the idea of directly suppressing it by force, even if the court blames him afterwards, he will bear it, and it just so happens that at this time, the Son of Heaven patrolled the northwest and came to Tianshui, and he has someone who can ask for instructions.
After Liu Xuan listened, he also knew the general situation of Tianshui.
It's troublesome to say, and it's easy to say it's simple.
It is not called out that some foreign races mixed in with different intentions, and then provoked an incident and then sought refuge from the local Qiang people in the name of 'compatriots'.
For these alien races living within their own borders, officials in various parts of the Han Dynasty generally adopted a policy of Huairou, as was the case when Liu Yu was in Youzhou, and later Zhuge Liang, Sun of Eastern Wu and even Cao Cao all adopted an appropriate policy of Huairou - Gongsun Chan was an alternative in this regard, because he advocated simply and neatly killing all these disobedient guys.
Because of this, when Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fought in history, Wuhuan sent troops to help Yuan Shao defeat Gongsun Chan.
Even in the heyday of the Han Dynasty, the problem of foreign races was mostly Huairou, which was almost the policy in the general direction.
And the general way is that as long as these aliens don't make trouble, then they can do whatever they want - the aliens will also gather and live in a circle of their own areas, and the communication with the Han people is mostly trade, but they rarely have contact with each other, and still retain their original living habits.
Tianshui County is considered to be a relatively good place to integrate with other races, and some of them have completely integrated into the life of Han people, but most of them still retain their original habits.
This seems to be the Han Dynasty's usual way of dealing with foreign races in the territory, although Man Zhong wants to use force, he only wants to properly force the other party to hand over the 'main culprit', but he has not thought about anything else.
But Liu Xuan thought further.
"It's always a scourge for these people to stay here, and it can't be solved here, and it's the same everywhere else. This problem must be eradicated once and for all. ”
In the Taishou Mansion, the first one is naturally given to Liu Xuan to sit, and the first one is the current Hubu Shangshu Xun Yu Xun Gongda, who is also the landlord here as a husband and a man, and is also accompanied by the side.
Further down were many civil and military officials who accompanied him, such as Zhong Xuan, Guo Jia, Huang Zhong and others, as well as a local county official in Tianshui County.
This person's name is quite interesting, called Jiang Yu, Liu Xuan was embarrassed after knowing which word it was, but I heard Manzhong say that this young man in his early twenties is doing a good job, and he knows the local situation very well, which has helped him a lot - there is another point, Jiang Nai Tianshui surname, Jiang Yu is very open in this place, it can be said that there are people in all counties who sell him face, and when Manzhong is doing things, he is assisted by this person, and it is naturally much smoother.
Just because of these few compliments, he also had a place in this discussion that had nothing to do with him.
"What does Your Majesty think it should be?"
Man Chong was also quite curious about this young emperor, he knew that he could serve as the county guard of Tianshui because the emperor personally nodded and agreed, but he had never seen the current emperor, because he was in a special situation when he received the expedition, he did not stay in Kyoto, and after dealing with the necessary trivialities, he came directly to Tianshui.
At that time, only people said to themselves: "The emperor values you very much!" But he didn't know exactly what kind of law he valued, and this time he could take a look at it by discussing the affairs of the alien race with the emperor.
Liu Xuan did not give a direct solution, but asked Man Chong: How do you think it should be solved?"
If his answer satisfies the emperor, then he will have a lot less constraints in doing things in the future, and he can even really manage this county according to his own ideas.
But if the emperor is not satisfied......
It's useless to think too much, not to mention that the emperor is waiting there for him to speak, and Man Zhong said directly: "The minister thinks that when you use swords and soldiers appropriately, so that some people with different intentions will know that this country is still a Han country." ”
Full Favor's words are a relatively safe way, and the appropriate display of force lets some people know that it is powerful. And he didn't say anything else, just said that Man Zhong thought that it was okay to deal with the interracial issue in the same way, and wait until the world calmed down and then deal with this matter slowly.
When Liu Xuan heard this, he felt that it was safe, but it was not what he wanted.
"Today's chaos is in turmoil, and the imperial court has only Yongliang and two states! If you want to recover all the states in the world, Yongliang is the fundamental place, and you can't allow some people with different intentions to make trouble from it!"
Only listen to the first half of the sentence, it is more prudent to be the emperor than himself, to tell himself not to start the sword soldiers lightly, deal with the past, and then go back to clean up those villains when the world is recovered.
But after hearing the second half of the sentence, I realized that this majesty was much more radical than himself, because what Liu Xuan said in the second half of the sentence was not 'no chaos', but 'chaos must not be caused by those with different intentions", which is too big.
"Your Majesty means ......?"
Man Pet was afraid that he had misunderstood, so he opened his mouth and confirmed it again.
Liu Xuan also knew what Man Chong was worried about, and nodded: "In the future, if there is a troublemaker, it will be directly governed by the law of the Han Dynasty!"
People say that the laws of the Qin Dynasty are strict, but in fact, the laws of the Han Dynasty are not much worse than those of the Qin Dynasty.
But no matter how strict the law is, if it can't be applied, it is tantamount to decoration. This did not happen much to the people of the authentic Han Dynasty, and it was these foreign residents who were the main headaches for some officials.
Many of these alien people do not regard themselves as the people of the Han Dynasty, so it seems a bit inappropriate to govern them with the laws of the Han Dynasty (provided by the first tyrant in history), and more importantly, once they are dealt with in this way, it will cause a large group of foreign races to be dissatisfied, and if they make trouble, it will be a bit of trouble. But if left unchecked, partiality will cause many troubles.
Because of these differences in the thinking of local officials, different people treat aliens differently.
According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, those who commit rebellion are serious crimes, and if they are really dealt with according to the law, what should those aliens do if they really cause chaos?
asked his own question, but in exchange for a chuckle from the emperor: "Berning is confused, how to deal with the rebels, do you still use me to teach?"
When Man Zhong heard this, he no longer had any doubts in his heart, and he could already be sure that this young emperor was an emperor with quite tough means, and he actually said such bloody words lightly on the issue of dealing with foreign races......
The most annoying thing about the problem of alien race is that once a foreign race commits a crime and then runs to the same race to seek refuge, these Han Dynasty officials are not caught or not arrested, and they are not arrested.
But according to the emperor's orders, there is no need to worry about it, just arrest it directly, if anyone resists, it will be directly punished for rebellion. Speaking of whiteness, it is necessary to kill on a large scale, and those who are not satisfied will be beheaded.
Ordinary emperors are afraid that they will be worried about whether this will provoke the alien races in the northwest to make a rebellion together? Because the alien races will not reason with you, the Han people, if you cut down my compatriots, we will directly rebel, not to mention that they did not regard themselves as the people of the Han Dynasty in their hearts, this is not a rebellion, and it is almost the same as raising troops to avenge blood hatred as a slogan.
Because the chain reaction is so painful, many people know how to do it right, but they still don't do it.
Liu Xuan is not afraid of these, if you really dare to rebel, Lao Tzu will really dare to kill, and even said to Manzhong: "Although the imperial court is mainly to restore people's livelihood now, it can't tolerate some people's misdeeds." If these aliens don't make trouble, they will all be rushed to the desert!"
Anyway, he didn't have no soldiers in his hands, and although the three most elite soldiers and horses were undergoing new training, it was not impossible to practice while fighting.
What's more, it would be a good thing if this killing could really solve the alien problem that had plagued the Northwest for many years (provided by the first tyrant in history). At the same time, in order to set a strict treatment standard for the northwestern counties, Liu Xuan directly issued an edict:
"In the future, anyone who lives in the territory of the Han Dynasty, no matter what his status, must follow the laws of the Han Dynasty, and if he does not obey it, he will be dealt with according to the law!"
With this article, it can be regarded as setting the attitude of the imperial court towards the foreign races under Liu Xuan's reign: It's just a matter of living a good life, if you really want to do something, the soldiers in Liu Xuan's hands won't care about you. As for whether these people regard themselves as people of the Han Dynasty? Liu Xuan doesn't care so much about you! If you really don't think that you are a citizen of the Han Dynasty, then he will have no pressure to kill him.
