In all fairness, after Liu Bei took charge of Liangzhou, the life of the Qiang people was much better than in the past.

Liu Bei really put a lot of effort into the survival of the Han people and the Hu people.

He personally abolished many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and also strictly limited the process and content of the government's tax collection, stipulated them in a very detailed manner, included them in the government's performance evaluation, and did his best to control the government's tax collection and prevent them from messing around.

That is, after taking charge of Liangzhou, Liu Bei discovered that the original tax collection has been played by the bureaucrats from ancient times to the present.

Many of the taxes he had never heard of were found in parts of Liangzhou.

For example, what is the tax on cattle farming, the tax on drilling wells, and the tax on firewood.

Ploughing cattle have to pay taxes, otherwise the government will pull them away.

You also have to pay taxes for digging a well, and you also have to pay taxes for going up to the mountains to cut wood, because the whole world is not the king's land, and you are engaged in the east and west on the king's land, how can you not pay taxes?

In a few other counties, the county officials were very greedy, and the newlyweds had to pay taxes, and they had to pay an extra tax for having children, and they had to pay taxes when the farm tools were broken.

Treat the Han people like this, and treat the Hu people similarly.

All kinds of threats, blackmails, telling them that if they don't pay more extra taxes, the army will go against them.

Those Qiang people were not very good at farming technology, and they forcibly seized a considerable part of the income from agricultural production, and they couldn't live at all.

They are equally involved in looting and collecting money, and they really do their best to loot the people's fat and ointment.

At that time, when Liu Bei knew these news, he was so angry that he wanted to kill people himself.

Now it's different, all unreasonable taxes have been abolished by Liu Bei, and oral taxes have also been abolished by Liu Bei in the form of official payment in fact, which has greatly reduced the tax pressure of ordinary people and allowed them to breathe.

In addition to the taxes of the registered population, the tax tribute for the semi-independent foreign settlements in and outside Liangzhou was also cut by Liu Bei, and Liu Bei did not allow any individuals or groups other than the state tax collectors to levy taxes on them.

The tax power against foreign settlements was taken back by Liu Bei with the strongest force without negotiation, and no one was allowed to interfere.

Therefore, whether it is the Qiang people, the Huns, the Xianbei people living in the territory, or the rest of the ethnic groups, their survival pressure has been reduced.

The living pressure of the people living in Liangzhou has been greatly relieved.

As long as the exploitation and oppression are not so strong, they will not gather a crowd to revolt if they have a little hope, and the same is true for the Han people and the Hu people.

The reason why the Qiang rebellion in the Eastern Han Dynasty lasted for so many years could not be quelled, and even the Han people often participated in the rebellion of the Qiang people, the arbitrary expropriation and extortion of Liangzhou officials was definitely one of the important reasons.

Therefore, Liu Bei made great efforts in the governance of officials, and through a period of adjustment of official governance, the situation of local officials raising taxes without permission was curbed.

The tax officials sent by Liu Bei had a detailed discussion with the tribes led by Naduo on the content of the previous tax tributes, and in order to show their sincerity, they abolished some unreasonable contents, and then agreed on the amount of tax tributes that need to be paid to the government and the imperial court in the future, as well as the frequency and amount of payment.

The tribes that grow grain pay a certain amount of grain to the state capital.

The grazing tribes paid a certain amount of fur and livestock to the state capital.

The number is not much lower than before, but at least it is modest and reasonable.

It was only after getting the approval of Naduo and the local leaders that the content of this part was finalized.

The tax collectors of the government no longer forced the collection of taxes with their teeth and claws, and there was no longer any coercion and inducement of the tribes to pay all kinds of tributes that were not agreed upon at all, and the number of taxes that passed through the road checkpoints was reduced on a large scale.

Even through the relationship of burning Dangqiang, tribes who are willing to pay taxes and tributes to the state capital on time and in accordance with the amount can get a certificate of paying taxes and tributes, and with the certificate, they can enter the city of Kan in Jincheng County and have the qualifications to participate in the mutual market.

As a result, many Qiang tribes were willing to pay taxes and tributes to the Liangzhou Prefecture in exchange for the qualification to participate in the mutual market and participate in the mutual market in Jincheng County.

They obtained the materials they needed for their lives through trading, and the Liangzhou government did not exploit them much, the amount of materials was very large, the price was moderate, and it was not expensive.

This state can be said to be the fairest since the trade between the Liangzhou government and them.

After several exchanges, there are many people in the Zhuqiang tribe who believe in Liu Bei.

They all thought that Liu Bei was a military and political governor with a reputation for speaking, and they had expectations for him, believing that his words were effective and trustworthy compared to other previous governors of Liangzhou.

They hope to obtain the peaceful living conditions they have now, and hope that they can obtain the survival materials they need in a relatively peaceful way, and live as peacefully as possible.

Therefore, they naturally do not want to make trouble.

Suddenly learned that Liu Bei was at war against the Sanqiang tribe, everyone was worried, worried that Liu Bei would have a bad feeling towards the Qiang people, worried that such a beautiful situation would never return, and quickly sent someone to contact Liu Bei to express everyone's wishes.

Liu Bei knew this, and he didn't want war either, so he responded to the willingness of Naduo and others to cooperate, explained the situation to them, and hoped that they wouldn't think too much.

The general policy of the Liangzhou Prefecture will not change, and the Prefecture will not involve the innocent, but the crackdown on malicious rebels must be carried out, and whoever dares to violate his rule will let him lie down and enter the mass grave.

The Zhuqiang tribe should take this as a warning, and if they want to continue to maintain good relations with the Liangzhou government, then they must not be soft on the rebel forces who try to disrupt the peaceful situation.

If the Zhuqiang tribe takes the initiative to help the Liangzhou court to quell the rebellion and eliminate the non-ministers, they can inform the Liangzhou government, and the government will help the Zhuqiang tribe to apply for official rewards from the Luoyang court and give material rewards.

If you can't eliminate it yourself, it will also be a great achievement to report it to the Liangzhou government in time, and you will also be rewarded.

Liu Bei and the representatives of the thirty-seven Qiang tribes reached this agreement in Ji County, and the two sides made a bloody alliance, each of them used the way of the Han and Qiang people to pay homage to heaven and earth, and swore an oath.

Then the two sides exchanged tokens, and the covenant was finalized.

The agreement between the thirty-seven Qiang tribes and the Liangzhou government under Liu Bei's command was thus implemented.

The Zhuqiang tribe was relieved and returned safely to prepare for the next payment of taxes and tributes, as well as the next mutual market.

Liu Bei also dealt with the aftermath of the battle, and rewarded the subordinates who participated in the war, should be promoted, and should be rewarded, so the existence of Zhonglang General finally appeared in the Liangzhou Corps.

Zhang Fei, the commander of Longxi County and the captain of Wumeng, was promoted by Liu Bei to the rank of Wumeng Zhonglang General for his merits of holding the city without defeat and killing the two leaders of the invading Qiang people, and was the first Zhonglang general in the Liangzhou Corps

Liu Yong, the captain of Wu'an, was promoted by Liu Bei to the rank of general of Wu'an for his merit of killing the brave general of the Qiang army, and was the second lieutenant general.

Captain Pang De of Wuping was promoted to Wuping Zhonglang General for his great merit in killing a major leader of the Qiang Army and breaking the enemy, and was the third Zhonglang General.

This war brought three lieutenant generals to the Liangzhou Corps.

In addition, the military Sima Chengpu was promoted to lieutenant by Liu Bei because of his previous merits and was given the title of Wuyang.

The military Sima Yan Xing was promoted to lieutenant by Liu Bei because of his merits before and after, and was given the name Wu Zhen.

The military Sima Cao Ren and Cao Chun were promoted to captains by Liu Bei together because of their brave battles and the brave generals of the Qiang army, with Cao Ren as the captain of Weiding and Cao Chun as the captain of Weisheng.

The soldiers who killed many enemies were also rewarded very well and were promoted, the best of which was Guo Hao, an ordinary cavalryman who killed the Qiang generals, and because of this merit, he was promoted to military marquis.
