Liu Bei hoped that even if he was dead, the way of thinking of "indecision, disaster and trouble" had become one of the guidelines of the Third Reich and all subsequent dynasties.

It's really important.

He hopes that once there is any problem in the future, the first thing that everyone thinks of is not to reflect, not to think about their own mistakes, but to immediately think that it is someone else's mistake, and quickly turn to the outside to seek a solution, lead to trouble, and divert contradictions.

Shameless, but happy.

Just like when the Jin Kingdom was defeated by the Mongols, they would not think about strengthening and improving themselves, but immediately thought about launching a war in the south and seeking compensation from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Mixed to this point, mixed to the point that the country is about to be wiped out, and you can still feel that this is the fault of the Southern Song Dynasty and not your own, how shameless?

However, this mode of thinking never appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Southern Song Dynasty has never had such a mode of thinking, from the imperial court to the people, which is really a huge pity.

Living in this chaotic world, if you don't have the ability and ambition to change the world, you have to have a shameless spirit, and you have to have a little thinking that even if the flood is monstrous, it can't delay Lao Tzu's timely happiness.

You can't feel like it's your fault.

Once there is a dispute, you feel that it is your own mistake and reflect on it...... Why not think differently?

Is there a possibility that it's someone else's fault?

Is it possible that even if it is my fault, I can make others realize that it is their fault and not mine through force and war?

The incremental scramble is just as brutal, but at worst, it may be external.

Follow this pattern of thinking until you find a new incremental point, or you can't lead to it, and you can't find any incremental point anymore.

At that point, Liu Bei had no choice but to watch the human race move towards a brutal war of stock competition, and most of the people were squeezed out of this war and died, until the population and resources matched again.

Cruel, right?

But at least before this model comes to an end, the subject who launched it is happy, they don't need to go through the brutal battle for stock, they just need to watch others go through the brutal battle for stock, and then think that it is their mistake, not the fault of the subject who started this war.

But there are problems with this.

Just like the problem raised by Zheng Xuan before, that is, the serious problem of development.

If there is no good preparation, the development will not be fruitful, a lot of wealth will be invested but no output will be obtained, and there will not be enough increment, then sooner or later the Third Reich will have to return to the mode of stock contention, and will go to the end of collapse in chaos.

Therefore, there must be results, there must be income, for example, there must be a clear increment point in front of the whole society, so as to form a consensus of the whole society.

Even the drooping children can know that they can make a lot of money by forging ahead externally.

By the time this thinking becomes the general consensus of everyone, the Third Reich will be able to jump out of that damn circle, take an unprecedented path, and abandon the meaningless "modesty".

And for this, Liu Bei needs to do a lot, a lot of work.

First of all, he wanted to give the Han Empire the ability to sail in the oceans.

As he knew before, people's understanding of navigation in this era was still quite rudimentary, and the navigation tools were very limited, there was no compass and no corresponding navigation knowledge, and even the big ships of navigation were flat-bottomed ships.

Such a ship cannot resist the wind and waves, and when the wind and waves are large, the ship will capsize and fall apart as a whole, so ocean-going voyages are driven by the coastline.

Safety is safe, but it also loses a lot of possibilities, so Liu Bei in the Yangzhou area, at the same time as Guan Yu shipbuilding, promoted the technological innovation of ocean-going ships, that is, the creation of pointed bottom ships.

In the structure of the ship to add the concept of keel and pointed bottom, enhance the ability of the ship to resist the wind and waves, enhance the solidity of the hull, as for the sails, rudder and the like, the ancients are not fools, in the long time of exploration, these things have gradually appeared on the sea ship, but it is still not systematic.

Just like the astronomical technology of the time, not everyone could have sufficient astronomical knowledge to discern the direction in the ocean voyage, so experience is one thing, whether you can find experienced people is another, and whether these experiences are reliable is another matter.

There are many things that are needed for smooth sailing, and in particular, tools to orient oneself.

These things are either not available now, or only in rudiments, and do not have the possibility of widespread use, which is very unfavorable for navigation, but at this moment, only through practice again and again, can we really find a way to solve the problem.

It is useless to do things behind closed doors, and it is still necessary to use everything available to engage in so many practices and explore possibilities in continuous practice.

As the vanguard of all these actions, the direction of Ninan County sent a battle report on the 19th day of the first month of the second year of Zhenguan, saying that Gan Ning commanded 3,000 battalions of soldiers, and with the help of 1,500 county soldiers under the command of Ma Chao, they broke the natives of Rinan County, killed the leader of the natives, and recovered Xianglin County, resolving the rebellion of Rinan County that lasted for two and a half years.

Speaking of which, this battle was not an easy one.

Of course, it's not that those natives are very good at fighting, they can't even make up a few standard weapons, they basically use their own locally produced weapons, the materials are varied, the styles are also varied, and there are similar to meteor hammers and other useless things, when they go to the battlefield to fight, the damage to their own people far exceeds the damage to the enemy.

So much so that Gan Ning and Ma Chao didn't know for a while whether those guys were enemies or allies.

But if that means those guys are completely undesirable, that's not necessarily true.

Their advantage lies in their familiarity with the terrain, their outnumberedness, and their determination to fight, not the kind of rabble who don't know what they're fighting for.

They also dared to take the initiative to attack, dared to attack at night, and often took the initiative to launch sneak attacks on the Han army.

When the Han army first came to Rinan County and was still adapting to the climate, these guys came to attack at night every night, which really made the Han army uncomfortable for a while, and they didn't know how to better solve them.

However, the Han army was the elite in the end, and it also strictly abided by the wartime health regulations in the army, did not drink raw water, did not eat raw food, did not eat wild fruit fungi, used things like mugwort leaves to drive away mosquitoes, and set up the military camp in a relatively clean place, away from jungles and waterholes, and there were more than 100 military doctors in the army and local doctors who were familiar with the local situation.

With such blessings, the Han army survived the difficult days of the first two months.

After that, at the end of the first year of Zhenguan, even Ninan County had a cool feeling, of course, the days when you could still wear single clothes in November and December were quite novel experiences even for soldiers from Jiangnan.

According to the locals, the cool days of Ninan-gun are very short, and they are very precious when they pass, so if the army wants to go to war, it must seize the opportunity to start the war as soon as possible, otherwise it will start to heat up again in February and March next year.

Gan Ning, Ma Chao, and Fa Zhengyi felt that they really had to seize the time to take action, so the three of them worked together and gave full play to the spirit of teamwork, and launched a counteroffensive against Xianglin County, Rinan County at the end of November, catching the local natives who were entrenched in Xianglin County and constantly encroaching on the territory of the empire north.

On November 28, Gan Ning led his soldiers to fight a victory south of Lurong and defeated more than 1,000 natives who had come to attack and harass.

These natives were ragged, their weapons were tattered and varied, and there was nothing to praise except for their fierce faces and imposing possence.

Gan Ning commanded the army to release arrows, and after a few volleys, they were shot into a large area, and then the army formed a formation and stepped forward to fight, and the natives were cut to pieces with three strikes and five divided by two, with heavy casualties, and the rest tried to escape, and were cut off by the only 300 cavalry of the Han army, and finally the whole army was annihilated.

Then Gan Ning went all the way south, towards the direction of Xianglin County, and encountered three Turen tribes along the way, all of which were defeated and destroyed by him.

So when the army approached Xianglin County and faced the more than 10,000 native coalition troops led by the district company, Gan Ning did not have any worries.

The battle soon ended, the Turkish coalition army was annihilated, and the Han army won a complete victory, recovering the county seat of Xianglin and rebuilding the county.

As for the infamous country established by the guy named Ou Lian, it was also destroyed, and everything was burned by the Han army, leaving no trace.

That's the end of the matter.

However, although Ou Lian died, the local natives did not admit defeat.

The coalition army was defeated, and there were still many of them, who lived in the jungle and were difficult to find traces, but they could easily take a small road to attack the county seat, and they played the spirit of kraft candy, even if they were beaten away once, they could come back a second, a third, and a fourth time.

Gan Ning and Ma Chao thought of a lot of ways, but they couldn't successfully drive all these natives away, and wanted to take the initiative to attack, but they couldn't find where these guys were, and sent people to find the way, but the efficiency was very low, and they touched three tribes in a month, and there may be dozens or hundreds of such tribes in the entire dense jungle.

For such a situation, Gan Ning and Ma Chaoyi felt that it was too difficult to deal with these natives only by relying on the army, and the army was not stationed here, but the county soldiers were stationed here, but the county soldiers still had to maintain order and enforce the law, and they couldn't spend all their time dealing with these natives, otherwise there would be insufficient manpower to maintain local order.

At the critical time, Fazheng, who had read more and had a more active mind, thought of a way.

Previously, when the new Dutian Decree was issued, Liu Bei said that for the undeveloped areas in the south of the Yangtze River, the official and private individuals were allowed to use slaves in the process of employing labor and cultivating land.

But for non-Han Chinese groups, the imperial court was open to slave restrictions.

Therefore, as long as he is not a Han Chinese, as long as you can catch and raise him, then he can be your slave, and he only needs to pay a deposit equivalent to one-quarter of the Han slaves to the government, and you can legally use these slaves in the Han Empire to do things for yourself.

According to the requirements of the Dutian Decree, in a place like Ninan County, an adult Han man can be allocated 1,000 mu of land, a woman can also own 500 mu of land, and a family of three can own at least 1,500 mu of land, and a maximum of 2,500 mu of land.

This scale of land is considered a well-known place in the Central Plains, and it is a powerful configuration.

When Liu Bei first started, there were more than 2,000 acres of land, which was already one of the representative families with abundant martial virtues in a county, and in Rinan County, because of the vast land and sparsely populated population, there was no shortage of land but only a lack of population, even if so much land was given, the amount of land was still very large.

Rinan County is quite good, and the Jiuzhen County to the north has a very large amount of plains and fertile land at first glance, but there are not so many people in Jiuzhen County who can cultivate these lands.

With such a large amount of land, only a few people in a family, even if the waist is broken, they can't cultivate so much land, and they must ask someone to help, or find a slave to help cultivate the land, and the master only needs to supervise these natives.

Therefore, Fa Zheng believes that to deal with these natives, we cannot rely only on the government.

It was obviously not enough for the government and the army to deal with these natives, but if the land could be distributed and the requirements of the Doda Decree could be implemented, it would be possible to promote a large-scale demand for natives and slaves among the landowners of Nichinam-gun.

When there is no demand, only rely on the army to deal with the natives, and the input-output ratio is very low.

But when the market puts forward demand, the input-output ratio will increase instantly, and even this will become a business, a business that everyone is willing to compete for.

It is like after Liu Bei captured more than 700,000 grassland captives, because there were powerful families in the Central Plains who needed these captives, a large number of captives were sold to Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou.

Now, they can also try to see if these native captives can open the market.

After Fa Zheng put forward this idea, Gan Ning and Ma Chao both felt that this could be tried, although they had not experienced it before, but since it was possible, then they had to give it a try.

They must always find a way to maintain peace and stability for a long time, and they can't let the Han army stay here all the time to deal with the surprise attacks of these natives, so the Han army doesn't have to do anything, just fight endless law and order wars here.

As the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to suppress thieves, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?

However, Ma Chao is still a little worried that this matter is not easy to do, worried that this matter will take a long time to be effective, and the army will not be able to stay here for too long, he is worried that once the army leaves, it will be more difficult to maintain it only by the county soldiers.

But Fa Zheng doesn't think so.

Fa Zheng believed that as long as the government released the news of the Dutian Decree, and then issued a permit for the large-scale use of non-Han slaves, and provided a certain amount of help, then the Han people in Rinan County and even Jiuzhen County would take the initiative to help the government deal with the natives and arrest them.

The martial virtues of Schrödinger in the Han group need certain conditions to motivate, and as long as the conditions are met, they can become a "fighting nation".

Fa Zheng also believes that when time passes slowly, at the latest in a year, the natives of Ninan County will face a situation where the number is insufficient and they cannot make ends meet.

At that time, the whole Jiaozhou will set off a wave of arresting natives as slaves, and everyone will go to the dense forests further south and west to actively find more natives to capture and supply the development of Jiaozhou.

At that time, whether it is the imperial court or the local government, there will be no more worries about the invasion of the natives.

He has that confidence, and he doesn't think he's joking.

Gan Ning and Ma Chao didn't look that far, they were skeptical about it, and only said that they wanted to see the results.

As a result, after the release of the Nitan Ordinance and the latest slave decree in Nichinam County, in just five days, more than 20 large local families came to consult about the issue.
