Hearing Liu Bei say this, Zhang Yan's heart sank, and her head lowered lower.

He could have a hunch that Liu Bei was going to attack him on this issue, but he didn't know the specific process and result.

"The lowly also thinks that this is wrong, but there is no other way to survive...... The mountain people were also unbearable to the harsh government of the government, and they had no choice but to escape from the mountains and wilderness, and there was no way to survive in order to survive......"

As he spoke, he cautiously looked at Liu Bei's expression.

saw the emotion on Liu Bei's face.

"Yes, it's not easy for anyone, living in this world, eating the last meal, I don't know if there is a next meal."

Liu Bei said with emotion: "Don't talk about them, more than ten years ago, why didn't I feel like this?" However, there was no way before, in order to survive, I could only fight, but now that I have a solution to the problem, why continue to live like that? ”

Zhang Yan blinked, and suddenly realized that Liu Bei meant something.

"General, what do you mean ......"

"General Zhang Zhonglang, since you are already an official of the imperial court, you should do things for the imperial court, and now that the imperial court is restoring and merging states on a large scale, don't you plan to help the imperial court?"

"I ...... Of course, I'm willing to help the court solve problems, but I don't know how to act as a ......."

"Hahahaha, Zhang Zhonglang will know it, but he still wants to pretend to be confused with me!"

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Yan with a smile, and said word by word: "Looking at it this way, Zhang Zhonglang will be a master of pretending to be confused." ”

"This ...... This...... General, lowly ...... There is no ...... in lowly office"

Looking at Zhang Yan's slightly flustered expression, Liu Bei laughed and patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder.

"It's complimenting you!"

"Multi-...... Thank you for the compliment. ”

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Bei then laughed, and after laughing, he looked at Zhang Yan gently: "No kidding, this time when I go back, General Zhang Zhonglang, the people who should be dismissed, will be dismissed, hundreds of thousands of people staying in the mountains are not a long-term thing, how do I think it is inappropriate."

If you don't have enough to eat on the mountain, you can't dress warmly, and you have to go down the mountain to loot if you don't have anything to eat, it will only make the relationship between the mountains and the mountains more and more tense, so let them all leave and go to the state.

This time, we have recovered the state, many counties are short of population, and I will also find some way here, the population in the mountains can also be migrated to the state for naturalization, so that the construction of the state should be able to resume. ”

Zhang Yan swallowed her saliva, and secretly said that this was indeed the case.

In fact, Liu Bei's request was within his consideration, and it was not unexpected by him, he guessed that Liu Bei would definitely make this request to him.

So his response was not flustered.

"The general hopes so, and the lowly will naturally not object, but the general needs to know that these people who go up the mountain are not out of their original will, they are not willing to go up the mountain, but are forced to desperation by corrupt officials and tyranny, so they go up the mountain.

If corrupt officials and tyranny cannot be controlled, then even if they are forced to go down the mountain, one day, they will go back to the mountain. ”

Liu Bei nodded.

"Yes, they were forced to go up the mountain by corrupt officials and tyranny, the ancients were harsh and fiercer than tigers, and I realized this, so I have been working hard all these years to rectify the governance and governance of officials, and there have been some changes, such as Liangzhou has been governed well.

There used to be only 500,000 people in Liangzhou, and there were many hidden escapees, as well as the slaves of big families, after my governance, now the population of Liangzhou has exceeded one million, this is a real thing, no one can cheat, no one can ignore.

You can tell them that the general Liu Bei promised them that they would not have to pay any taxes or be levied for three years, and after three years, they would only be levied land and arithmetic, and the oral taxes would be borne by the government. ”

Zhang Yan was slightly surprised.

"General, this ...... Is it true? ”

"The promise given by someone Liu has never been broken, isn't the reason why you are willing to submit to the court because of someone Liu's promise? And such a thing has not happened before, this is the case in Liangzhou, so now, it will be the same in Bingzhou. ”

Liu Bei smiled: "Liu really wants to govern the state well, he really hopes that the state will be restored and become an important barrier in the land of the three rivers, and he must not watch the state decay, it is normal to pay something for this, so you can rest assured." ”

Zhang Yan looked at Liu Bei for a while.

"General, what if someone doesn't want to go down the mountain?"

"At the beginning, there were many people in Liangzhou who didn't believe in the government's policies, until someone really got the benefits, they saw it, and they regretted it, and quickly returned to the government's household registration.

The more you go down the mountain first, the sooner you can enjoy the generous policies of the government, the later you go down the mountain, the more you have to suffer, and never go down the mountain, then continue to suffer hardships, not compulsory, the ruler must always be convincing, and what I do, where is the harsh government and tyranny? ”

Then this is the truth, the government can do such a thing as paying the oral tax on behalf of the government, it is simply doing charity, where is the harsh government and tyranny?

If the local government could also do this, where would so many people follow Zhang Yan to rebel up the mountain?

After thinking about a lot of things, Zhang Yan nodded slowly.

"If the general has such considerations, then he is willing to cooperate with the general and let as many people down the mountain as possible."

"General Zhang Zhonglang, I will give you a standard later, you select 10,000 people in your army according to the criteria I gave to stay, and all the others will be dismissed as people."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "After that, I will reorganize your army into the regular army of the imperial court, give the military number, give the salary, you bring the army to Luoyang to be trained, after the training is completed, you will be the royal division of the imperial court, and you and your subordinates will also become regular court officers, and you don't need to worry about other things." ”

Zhang Yan's heart sank.

This is Liu Bei's treatment after talking to him.

Zhang Yan has a little understanding of Liu Bei's army, and knows that Liu Bei's army is composed of 10,000 people, and attaches great importance to training and the education of officers.

So Zhang Yan knew that Liu Bei was not tricking him.

"In other words, the lowly position will be suspicious, but the general says this, the lowly position will not doubt, and the lowly position is willing to obey the general's orders."

Zhang Yan said a very good sentence.

I believe in your Liu Bei's character and promise before I agree to you, I will definitely not agree to someone else, so you should also be careful, but don't ruin the character you have accumulated over the years.

Liu Bei also heard the subtext of these words, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"Only by doing the right thing can you have a bright future, Zhang Zhonglang, you will have a future."

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Yan with satisfaction.

Zhang Yan's problem has been solved, and the problem of Yu Fuluo, who was left aside before, should also be raised.

Liu Bei shifted his target and began to smile at Yu Fuluo again.

"It's really rude for a big order to come and be disappointed."

Yu Fuluo shuddered for no reason.

"The general has said it, he is just a small lieutenant general, and he doesn't dare to call himself a single ......"

"Hahahaha, Da Dan Yu is laughing, Da Dan Yu has always been the Da Dan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu, why don't you dare to call yourself?"

Liu Bei walked to Yu Fuluo's side and shook Yu Fuluo's hand: "Da Dan Yu Department has provided great help to the imperial court in this Northern Expedition, and I am very grateful, so I want to provide some help to Da Dan Yu Department, I just happened to hear that Da Dan Yu Department's life is a little difficult, I don't know if this is the case?" ”

Yu Fuluo couldn't figure out what Liu Bei meant for a while, and he hesitated.

"This ......"

"Actually, this time I went north, and Bei's subordinates also provided Bei with a lot of news about the Southern Huns, and after Bei learned about it, he felt very embarrassed."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he sighed with emotion: "The Southern Xiongnu people are displaced, living in hardship, and have never been able to live in peace, the houses they have lived in for a long time have to be abandoned, and the land that has been cultivated for a long time has to be abandoned.

So this time the Southern Xiongnu made a great contribution, and wanted to thank the Southern Xiongnu for their contributions, so they deliberately wanted to solve problems for Da Dan Yu, and thought of a very interesting way, I don't know if Da Dan Yu can agree with such a method. ”
