Regarding Fazheng's dream, Liu Ye, who has always been serious, did not directly question it, but thought about it seriously for a while, and then nodded.

"I will make a suggestion to Your Majesty, since there is no shortage of money in Rinan County, then I believe that there will be some people who are willing to come here to make contributions, but in this way, is the future of the Han really here, in this Ninan County?"

"I didn't believe it when His Majesty said that he was going to exert force on Ninan County before, but now, I think Your Majesty is right."

Fa Zheng nodded, and said slowly: "As long as you find the right way, a place like Rinan County can also have such a huge advantage, there are natives, there are foreign merchants, if you want to make money, you can almost lie down and have money to send to the door, such a good thing is very difficult to encounter in the Central Plains." ”

"It's true."

Liu Ye nodded and said: "In the Central Plains, the only way to do this is to cultivate the fields diligently and work hard to produce, but in these places, any method can be used and everything can be done, so ...... Filial piety, you have to pay attention to the question of the law, you can't let there be no morality and law here, if so, it is difficult to say whether you will gain more or lose more. ”

Fa Zheng was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he came back to his senses and smiled.

"I don't think your worries should be very necessary, for the current Jiaozhou and Rinan County, earning enough money and cultivating enough land is the most important thing, the ancients called the warehouse is real and knows the etiquette, the warehouse is not true, how should people know the etiquette?"

"The words are so, but ......"

Liu Ye hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and sighed: "That's it, it's not the time for Confucianism to dominate the court, there's no point in dwelling on these, what you said is right, Cang Liao knows etiquette and etiquette, just control the law, and the rest is not important." ”

"That's nature."

Fa Zheng didn't say anything more.

He didn't think what Liu Ye said was unreasonable, and he couldn't look past things that didn't talk about morality, but the most critical problem now was that Rinan County was poor, chaotic and without construction, so it was a bit too early to talk about morality at this time.

It's like the kind of living environment in Liangzhou, which makes them pay attention to the understanding of Zhongyuan Prefecture, which is really a bit of a bully.

Isn't it the same with Ninan-gun?

So, go ahead and do it, as long as you dare, as long as you can, the lives of the natives...... It's not fate.

In the whole month of April 1 of the second year of Zhenguan, Fa Zheng and Ma Chao jointly signed 107 arrest certificates, and 107 families or active social gangs were reported here in the Ninan County Government and obtained the qualification to legally use armed forces to arrest the natives as slaves.

With the permission of the government, they can legally use bows and crossbows and armor under the supervision of the county soldiers.

Although these weapons and equipment were provided by the government, they had the right to use them, and they could temporarily circumvent the imperial court's ban on private possession of bows and crossbows and armor, but they had to return all of them after use.

In addition, it is necessary to pay a sum of money for the use of it, and if it is damaged, it will also be compensated according to the price.

Naturally, local families and active social gangs were willing to accept this condition, and the legal use of bows and armor would reduce their casualties and human losses to a considerable extent, which was very cost-effective relative to the use of money.

The use of superior equipment meant that the balance of combat effectiveness was tilted, and the acquisition of a large amount of wealth may have further stimulated the yearning of the people of Nichinan County for the natives, especially the living young and strong natives, and this yearning prompted the change of the situation in the Ninan County area.

In the past, it was the natives who took the initiative to attack the government and pedestrians, as well as destroy farms, etc., but now, it is the Han people who are armed with red eyes and attack, looking for natives everywhere, and arresting them in various ways, and a large number of natives have been destroyed in large numbers, and a large number of natives have been captured, and the natives are completely unable to resist this invasion and are forced to move to the south and west.

The Turen tribes around Xianglin County have been swept away in three months, and the demand is too great, and the enterprising spirit of the Han armed group is extremely strong, and they almost never sleep to investigate and attack, just to catch more Turen.

It was only at this moment that these natives suddenly discovered that their past arrogance and wildness were all false, and everything was just because they were worthless in the eyes of the Han people, so they didn't bother to deal with them.

And once they generate value, they realize that the Han people are beasts, and they are the prey.

By the time Liu Ye returned to Luoyang, more than 30,000 young and strong natives had been arrested, either retained by local farms in Rinan County, or transported to Jiaozhi County to become the labor force of the newly established farms in Jiaozhi County.

However, compared with the initial thirst for labor in Jiaozhou, the provision of these 30,000 people is really a drop in the bucket.

Then, after learning about the relevant policies and huge profits promoted by the law in Ninan County, the minds of the Taishou of the counties in Jiaozhou were also activated.

They were red-eyed, anxious, envious, and eager for benefits, so they immediately copied the policy promoted by Fa Zheng in Ninan County and promoted it locally.

Such a good thing, how can the Fazheng be preoccupied with beauty? How can you make Fa Zheng the most beautiful boy in Najiaozhou?

No way! We want it too!

They also announced that local families or active social groups could form arrest teams, report to the government, and under the supervision of the county soldiers, they could participate in the arrest of the natives, so as to supplement the agricultural labor force in the Jiaozhou area.

From May to July of the second year of Zhenguan, with the arrival of the first batch of Central Plains people who had settled in the counties of Jiaozhou for various reasons, the Jiaozhou area immediately began to implement the requirements of the Dutian Decree to provide these newcomers with a sufficient amount of undeveloped wasteland.

The arrival of these people and the rapid implementation of the Dutian Decree caused the demand for agricultural labor in the counties of Jiaozhou to rise sharply, and with this wave of large demand for labor, the local arrest teams organized in the counties gradually grew stronger.

The Dutian Decree did not allow them to own a large number of Han Chinese slaves, and there were quite a few restrictions on Han Chinese slaves, but they were allowed to have a sufficient number of native slaves for agricultural purposes.

The cost of a Han Chinese slave is enough for these Central Plains people to have about five to seven native slaves, and the government will intervene in the management of Han slaves to ensure their lives.

But the government didn't care about the management of native slaves.

In short, as long as you pay a one-time filing fee to the government, you can legally own and use these native slaves in the Jiaozhou area, how to use them, how to manage them, it is not something that the government needs to care about.

As long as you make sure that this group of natives will not rebel, then the government will not care about other things, but if this group of natives rebels and make trouble, then the government will hold the lord responsible.

Such preferential conditions were not found in the Central Plains Prefectures, which required the landlords to pay large taxes and to pay considerable expenses for the labour employed by the collective farms.

Compared with the Central Plains, the policy of the Jiaozhou region is simply superior.

The only regret is that the land is all wasteland, and the living environment is relatively harsh, if you want to get the most initial income, at least the least, it will take three years, and during these three years, everyone can only rely on their own family savings to live.

Fortunately, at this stage, the southbound families basically had this capital that could be provided to the clansmen who went south to start businesses, and the compensation they received for land sales during the implementation of the Dutian Decree was also a large amount of money.

Fortunately, at this stage, the southbound families basically had this capital that could be provided to the clansmen who went south to start businesses, and the compensation they received for land sales during the implementation of the Dutian Decree was also a large amount of money.

Other migrants also had imperial court policies, and Liu Bei specially took out a part of the money from selling salt in Shaofu to subsidize the common people who went south to ensure their livelihood and prevent them from starving to death.

As for the other promise terms, Liu Bei still did what he said.

He extensively recruited [expeditionary reclamation teams] in the collective farms in the Central Plains, and used veterans of the army as the captains of these farm youths, and called them south to carry out the task of reclamation.

The government pays money, takes care of food and housing, and pays salaries and bonuses, and one month's income is equivalent to four months of work in the farm, which is still a net income.

The expeditionary reclamation team is equipped with doctors, medicines, and experienced veterans, and they will assemble in the land of Qingxu, and then take a boat south to Jiaozhou, land in Panyu County, and after a period of adaptation, they will begin to officially start the reclamation mission.

They will carry out resolute reclamation actions on the mountains and forests and the barren grassy lands with sharp axes, blades and various agricultural tools, eradicate vegetation, level the land, do a good job of drainage, and repeatedly cultivate the wasteland to a state suitable for growing food.

Of course, all this is not without risks, they may die of illness, or they may be attacked by poisonous insects and beasts and savages, which is unavoidable, so while the recruitment work is carried out, the government will mark the risks, and everyone will do what they can.

Quadruple income is certainly sweet, but it also has huge risks, so everyone needs to think carefully, and if you really have the courage and need to join the expedition reclamation team.

In addition to civilian recruitment, Liu Bei also ordered to organize some of the recruits and veterans in the army, and in the name of [special operation], recruit some professional soldiers to join the expeditionary reclamation team, and also recruit some fireheads and auxiliaries in the army to join the team.

In this way, Liu Bei hopes to recruit 100,000 expeditionary reclamation team members in a short period of time, limited to one year, and after one year of work, he can choose to return to his hometown to end the "expedition", of course, he can also continue the expedition and choose to renew the contract with the imperial court.

After the end of the first phase of the expeditionary team, the second batch of expeditionary teams will be recruited according to the actual situation, followed by the third and fourth batches, and then form a voluntary action of compatriots in the developed agricultural areas of the Central Plains to support compatriots in the underdeveloped agricultural areas.

The labor force is available, and the military strength cannot be less, and like Rinan County, the other counties of Jiaozhou also have a large number of various natives, they are just as fierce and cunning.

Therefore, when the expeditionary force entered Jiaozhou, the Jiangnan Military Region also needed to send at least two armies into the Jiaozhou area to accompany it.

Their goal is to use military means to attack the people who affect the reclamation mission, and launch the strongest attack on them, and then they will be approved to use fierce fire oil canisters to help the reclamation mission in the Jiaozhou area, and for some places that are difficult to reclaim by manpower, they need to use the power of flames to help.

Flames, the flames brought by the fierce fire oil tank can burn all dangerous things, whether it is poisonous insects and beasts, or wild people in the mountains and forests, under the power of the flames, everything will be hidden, which is a recognized fact in the previous Yellow Turban Eradication War.

Therefore, during this period, Liu Bei also urged the Ministry of Industry to expedite the production of a large number of fierce fire oil tanks, and constantly transported them to the Jiangnan Military Region, so that the Jiangnan Military Region could reserve a sufficient amount of fierce fire oil tanks to prepare for the flame to open the way and assist in reclamation.

A large number of materials began to be transported, a large number of people began to gather, a variety of professional equipment began to be transferred, and the Jiangnan and Jiangbei launched a linkage.

So at the same time, Liu Bei began to think about the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but the stakes were very high, and he felt that this matter still needed to be discussed, at least, it could not be done now.

From July of the second year of Zhenguan to September of the second year of Zhenguan, the expeditionary reclamation team was basically formed.

On the sixth day of September in the second year of Zhenguan, the first batch of expeditionary reclamation team members arrived in Donglai County, Qingzhou, and under the organization of Shi Xunyu, they boarded the ship and headed south to Panyu County, Nanhai County, Jiaozhou.

On the eighth day of the ninth month of the second year of Zhenguan, the second group of members of the expedition and reclamation team arrived in Donglai County, and they will also go south to Jiaozhou by boat, and their destination is Hepu County.

On the 10th day of September in the second year of Zhenguan, the members of the third group of expeditions boarded the ship, and their goal was Jiaozhi County, Jiaozhou.

The three groups of reclamation team members, totaling 100,000 people, will go to Nanhai County, Hepu County and Jiaozhi County in batches, and the first batch of expeditions to land reclamation targets are these three counties.

In addition, because Rinan County has relatively excellent implementation conditions and policies, Liu Bei followed Liu Ye's suggestion and sent 300 graduates who had just graduated from Liangzhou Prefecture School and Taixue to Rinan County, and handed them over to Fa Zheng as reserve officials, so that Fa Zheng would lead them to work, and train them, guide them, and cultivate them by the way.

In addition, in other aspects, Liu Bei also gave full support to Rinan County, supporting 1,000 pairs of armor, 10,000 bows and crossbows, and 200,000 arrows, all of which will be in place within three months by sea.

In addition, Liu Bei also sent a total of 560 craftsmen and doctors recruited with high wages to Rinan County, and handed them over to Fazheng for use, so that they could make the best use of them.

The Shu brocade, all kinds of silk brocade and special iron pots for foreign trade required for the trade of Ninan County were also manufactured in the first batch at the end of September of the second year of Zhenguan, and they were about to be transported to Ninan County.

All in all, in terms of policy and materials, Liu Bei gave sufficient support to Jiaozhou, including Rinan County, and the large-scale development of Jiaozhou was officially launched in September of the second year of Zhenguan.

As for Liu Ye's mention to him of the action of "hunting natives and slaves" that swept through Rinan County and even the entire Jiaozhou, Liu Bei was silent for a moment and gave a positive opinion.

"The resources of the Han are limited, my energy is also limited, I can only take care of the Han people, the rest of the people are not within the scope of my care, the Han is not rich enough to take care of those people, and the people who pay me taxes are not those natives."

Liu Bei issued an edict to support the slave hunt in Jiaozhou, saying that in addition to strictly controlling the use of armor and bows and crossbows, other places could do their best to support them, so that those who could not contribute to the development of the Han Empire could also contribute to the development of the Han Empire.

Whether it's active or passive, it's important to contribute.

If you don't take the initiative, then you are passive.

At the beginning of October of the second year of Zhenguan, Nichinan County obeyed the law on the table, indicating that the territory of Nichinan County may be appropriately expanded.

Fa Zheng believes that the area south of the southern territory of Ninan County also has great agricultural potential, and now that the slave hunt is expanding more and more to the south and west, the former native settlement area has been swept away and turned into a wilderness, and if it continues to be left underenowned, it may affect the continued development of the slave hunt.

Therefore, Fa Zheng suggested that another county should be set up in the original local settlement area, which would be controlled by the government, and that the basic goal of the base camp of the slave hunting operation should be built and developed, so as to serve the slave hunting operation, and perhaps increase the efficiency of the slave hunting operation.

Moreover, this can also be regarded as a serious expansion of territory, can it?

In this regard, Liu Bei approved it on the ninth day of October in the second year of Zhenguan.

Permit.
