Liu Bei decided to pacify Nanzhong. The kind that is completely calmed.

However, the issue that needs to be considered here is not simply a question of sending troops to conscript, but a question of long-term peace and stability in South China.

First of all, there is an unavoidable problem, that is, how to deal with the contradictions between Han and Yi.

After Emperor Xiaowu of the former Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and hollowed out the Western Regions, in the eyes of the Han people, the Hu people were basically not individuals.

One Han is ten beards.

This is not only a reflection of the gap in combat power, but also a manifestation of status. The Han people are superior.

Up to now, although the Eastern Han Dynasty's record against the Hu people is sometimes quite stretched, there are also highlight moments such as Dou Xianle Shi Yanran, and Cao Cao's northern attack on Wuhuan.

Even if the Han Dynasty is now divided, the suppression of the surrounding alien races is still very strong.

Cao Cao attacked Wuhuan in the north, slashed and stepped on the ground, Xiahou Yuan swept away Xiqiang, Guo Huai Liangzhou called God, and Sun Quan in the east although he was fighting outside the war, but for Shanyue, it was also regarded as a population and military source base, and it was cleaned up casually.

So now when Liu Bei is dealing with the Nanzhong issue, the first thing that comes to mind is to send troops to sweep away these barbarians, and then use the barbarians to mine these minerals and enrich the power of Yizhou.

But there's a problem in this - how much food does it take to support such a thunderous battle?!

Isn't the reason why Liu Bei is making peace with Jiangdong now because after the war, there is a shortage of money and food, so he has to recuperate.

Again, what should those wealthy families in Nanzhong do?!

These people are not easy to deal with.

It is very likely that as soon as your army arrived, they obediently surrendered, and as soon as your army left, he rebelled and took all the mineral resources you had just developed for himself.

You can't keep your army stationed in those places, can you?!

Yizhou has few people and few soldiers, so you can't waste your troops like this.

You can't even raise barbarians to fight against these powerful people in the south, because if you want mining development, you must ensure a relatively peaceful situation, and you can't wantonly start up again.

Therefore, Zhang Xi's suggestion was to suppress the wealthy families of the Nanzhong family on a large scale, but to organize the people in the Nanzhong area, regardless of Han Yi, all of them were regarded as Han people, and sent officials to rule to prevent the local families from sitting on the throne.

In the first half, Liu Bei has no opinion, after all, those so-called wealthy families in Nanzhong, in fact, the wealthy families in Yizhou look down on them, and feel that they have been mixed with the Yiren for too long, and they are no longer considered to be the heirlooms of the Eight Classics of Poetry and Books.

Even if Liu Bei really attacked these families, the Yizhou family probably wouldn't have any opinions on Liu Bei.

But the Yi people are also regarded as Han people. This Liu Bei felt a little unbearable.

No way, that's how people think in this era. How can Yiren be compared to Han Jialang?!

If Liu Bei does this, it may cause criticism from the Yizhou family and have a bad impact on his reputation.

After all, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang people, who are theoretically of the same root as the Han people, are considered aliens, let alone the Nanzhong barbarians.

But Zhuge Liang expressed support for Zhang Xi's strategy.

But only limited support.

Zhuge Liang thinks that he is afraid of power but not virtue.

If you don't give them prestige, rashly give them the same status as the Han people, but it will stimulate their arrogance, and they feel that the Han people can't do without them, and they have to step by step, and slowly improve the status of the Yi people, but they can't be in place all at once.

You can give Yiren a thought, such as a notice that as long as you help the government serve for a certain number of years and pay a certain amount of taxes, you will be treated as Hermes-Epitek, and if you have made a major contribution, such as joining the army and making meritorious contributions, you can enjoy the treatment of Hermes-Epitek for the whole family.

Zhang Xi wondered at that time, who was the traverser?!

Co-authored the green card, it was there thousands of years ago, right?!

Of course, this is also to treat the people, to treat those wealthy clans in the south or a cave master, Zhuge Liang's suggestion is to fight, it is best to kill and cripple directly, even if the people who surrender, they have to move to Chengdu, and they can't be allowed to stay in the local area.

Otherwise, with their appeal, they may rebel again at any time, and they cannot afford not to guard against it.

In this way, regarding the fate of the wealthy clan in Nanzhong, Zhang Xi, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bei reached an agreement.

The people. This Liu Bei thought about it again, and then decided.

Then the rest is the question of how to develop Nanzhong.

First of all, it is necessary to confirm that what Zhang Xi said in the plan is true.

This Zhang Xi can't come up with evidence, after all, it's something in his head, and there are no books in this era that record the distribution of minerals in such detail, so Zhang Xi can't come up with circumstantial evidence.

But there is an example of this, and you can send an urgent report to Deng Fang, who is still in the Governor's Mansion, and ask him to look within the Governor's Mansion to see if he can find a copper mine.

Zhang Xi gave two directions, one was the mountainous area north of Guchang, and the other was the area south of Dianchi Lake and west of Fuxian Lake.

That is, the two places of Dongchuan and Yuxi in later generations.

In this way, Zhang Xi and Zhuge Liang temporarily re-settled in Hanzhong, waiting for Deng Fang's return.

In the middle, Zhang Xi and Zhuge Liang also exchanged views on how to specifically govern Nanzhong.

Zhang Xi still felt that if Nanzhong was to be developed on a large scale, it was necessary to rely on the strength of the local natives, and the power of the clan family was not credible, and if it was slightly uncontrollable, it would easily cause very serious consequences.

But Zhuge Liang still insisted that Yiren could not be trusted after all, and this kind of mineral resources must still be in the hands of his own family, even if it is a little slower, it is acceptable to start with Jianning County, and slowly, step by step, pacify Nanzhong.

Even Zhuge Liang was still thinking about whether to give up a little benefit and let the heroes of Yizhou join in the plan to pacify Nanzhong, after all, once the news of gold, silver, copper and iron in Nanzhong came out, the possibility of those Yizhou heroes not going in to scrape a copy is very small.

The Han Dynasty has a monopoly on salt and iron, and those families dare not touch minerals such as salt and iron, so the dominant position of Liu Bei Group can still be maintained.

Their target is most likely the same as Liu Bei, and the copper mine is eye-catching.

As for the copper mine, it depends on how much reserves there are.

If Liu Bei can eat it alone, of course he won't hand it over to outsiders to interfere, but if Liu Bei can't eat it, it's not impossible to give a little to the family in Yizhou.

In this way, on the one hand, it can further attract the Yizhou family, and at the same time, it can also use the manpower and material resources of the Yizhou family to develop the place, which is the best of both worlds.

However, these things can only be decided after Deng Fang's return.

Deng Fang's back and forth, plus the time required for the investigation, took at least two months, and during this time, Zhang Xi waited for his family to arrive in Hanzhong first.

Zhang Xi went to Hanzhong in April to participate in the military conference, and in June he sent back the news that he would not return to Jingzhou and that he would be the governor of the capital, and he did not say how long his term of office would last. Where did Sun Shangxiang endure such a long time of separation.

One more. Sun Shangxiang's current position is quite embarrassing.

Although he made a choice and stood on the side of his husband, it was not a taste for Sun Shangxiang.

Not to mention that his unpromising brother actually wrote a letter to himself, asking him to help blow the pillow wind, and persuade Zhang Xi to support the two families to talk about peace Sun Shangxiang's awkward heart, don't mention it.

So, Sun Shangxiang thinks it's better to go to Yizhou with her husband, and the province feels uncomfortable staying in Jingzhou.

Therefore, through Guan Yu's coordination, Sun Shangxiang left Xiao Qibao to run the family business in Jiangling, and she herself took a pair of children and Xiaoba, a total of four people, and Guan Yu sent a naval escort to Hanzhong.

There is no need to worry that Xiao Qibao will embezzle the family business, so many years of loyalty are in the eyes, not to mention the help of the family members.

Ben came to Hanzhong, Sun Shangxiang was still thinking about how to recruit guards and go south from Hanzhong to Chengdu, but his husband was still in Hanzhong.

It just so happened that the family was reunited.

As soon as Sun Shangxiang arrived, Zhang Xi didn't have time to talk to Zhuge Liang about what to do in Nanzhong.

Zhuge Liang also knew that he was not in a hurry at this time, and Zhuge Liang also received all the experience of the defense of Jiangling, and knew what Sun Shangxiang had paid in this defense battle.

A girl's family chooses to break with her mother's family and side with her husband. It's hard to do.

Especially in this era, sometimes a woman's marriage is a bond to maintain the relationship between the two families, and the woman is the most uncomfortable one in the middle.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang is also very interesting, and deliberately set aside time for Zhang Xi to accompany Sun Shangxiang well.

But. Really, it's really not that he Zhuge Liang is cautious and doesn't know how to be considerate.

Zhang Xi, a bastard, has been walking around with his wife for more than a month, and Hanzhong is already about to travel, and he hasn't had the heart to come back to work yet.

Deng Fang's investigation report has been sent to Hanzhong for almost ten days, why is this guy still accompanying his wife?!

This can't work, the eldest husband still has to focus on his career, and after reading Deng Fang's report, the lord can't wait to return to Chengdu.

Before we go back to Chengdu, we have to come up with a plausible charter, right?!

Now Chengdu is about to fall out, do you know?!
