Chapter Forty-Nine: Attacking the Heart

Ma Tan never thought that he was a good person, after all, how could a person who was in his position but wanted to die every day be a good person.

He just wanted to act with his own heart and die in the way he thought was right.

My heart and my deeds are as clear as a mirror, and living until now is purely hard.

As for the so-called promise, it's good to smile, it's impossible for Ma Jian to leave a few guilty people behind. Ma Yan's purpose is to kill them all, and no one can be left.

Seeing that Yao Hu was a little unacceptable to this, Ma Jian just shook his head and sighed that this person was true and sincere.

"Yao Hu, if you have time, you should read more books, the leader of the Qiang people, Shu Ji, has more eyes than you."

"Even if I have more eyes than me, it's not certain who will win and who will lose in the fight." Yao Hu muttered a little dissatisfied, and took Ma Yan's order and turned his head to carry it out.

However, Ma Yan's persuasion he remembered that the persuasion of the prince could not harm you, and it was better to listen to the persuasion.

After Yao Hu left, Ma Jian called Li Mu out again, saying that the Juntian Law was ready to be reopened.

Originally, I wanted to slowly cut the flesh of the family by relying on the Junda method, but now the problem has been solved. The entire clan of the family is gone, and the land of Longxi County has really become a borderless land.

The biggest obstacle to the Junda method is gone, so when will it not continue to be implemented as soon as possible?

However, Li Mu shook his head and said that there might be trouble in restarting the Juntian Law.

"Ming Gong, this Longxi County family has basically been imprisoned, and we are suddenly not enough." Li Mu smiled bitterly and pointed to the county government where there were a lot fewer people and said.

"Many of the scribes and civil officials of the county government are related to the Longxi clan. Now that they have all been caught, they can't even deal with normal government affairs. ”

"What's this, you can pluck a few from those civilian-born officials and cultivate them, can't you still use them?" Ma Tan didn't think it was a big deal, he waved his hand and said.

"Go back and find some diligent officials, teach them to learn, and when they are almost done, just work directly."

"This is not a big official who is a county commander, just cultivate a little bit of ability!"

If you directly take up a high-ranking official such as a county magistrate, then you really can't drag an official casually. However, the requirements of the local civil servants are not so high, and for Ma Yan, he only needs to be able to count and write.

For the rest of the things, it's good to suffer Li Mu.

"It's not that ......easy," Li Mu shook his head helplessly, but he didn't refuse Ma Yan's request.

"Why is the county guard in such a hurry to promote the Juntian Law? Now that the Longxi family is finished, we have time to deal with this. ”

"It is of great benefit to the imperial court to make sure that the cultivators have their fields as soon as possible." Ma Tan said lightly.

"Don't forget, we are not going to promote this to deal with the family, but so that the government can rise to the top. Only when the people have cultivated the land and live a good life, can the government receive taxes and levy forced labor. ”

"What's more, the autumn harvest in Longxi is coming soon, and the people who divide the fields as soon as possible are also motivated to harvest."

"After the autumn harvest, it is time for wheat to be sown, these are all days, and there are countless grains delayed."

Ma Tan's almost casual words made Li Mu suddenly feel in his heart, and he quickly glanced at Ma Tan.

This is all knowledge about agriculture, and officials who are not engaged in tuntian all year round basically do not understand it. Ming Gong came out of the army to join the army, and he actually treasured these things......

is really worthy of being the prime minister's apprentice, they are all all-round talents.

"And it won't be long before I have to go out of the city to deal with the problem of the Longxi Zhuqiang, and the time is still very tight." Ma Yan didn't notice Li Mu's respectful eyes, and continued to say to himself.

"Although the Zhuqiang of Longxi may not dare to come out this year, it is better to take the initiative for the sake of safety."

"Take the initiative?" Li Mu was slightly stunned, a little puzzled.

How to take the initiative to deal with the Qiang people? A group of outsiders hiding in the deep mountains and old forests are not easy to deal with.

"Naturally, we use the old method, attacking the city as the bottom and attacking the heart as the top." Ma Jian nodded, and once again stated his opinion.

"From now on, the Juntian Law of Longxi County can also be included in the Qiang people. As long as a foreign Ding man comes to Didao County to report his household registration, he can get a share of cultivated land in Longxi County. ”

"And it must be the person who comes to report the household registration, and no one else can replace it. Whether you are Dongqiang, Lingqiang first, or burn Dangqiang, as long as you come to be a subject of the Han Dynasty, you have the right to cultivate the land. ”

"As for those Qiang people who do not accept the rule of the Han Dynasty, my Han will uphold the legacy of the ancestors, although they will be punished from afar. At that time, I will personally take the Wudang Feijun to their camp and talk to them in person. ”

Attacking the heart does not mean being gentle with them, and winning them over by appeasement.

The core essence of the heart attack strategy is to use a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, and then give sweet dates to the sweet dates after knocking out the stick. If you don't accept it, you will be beaten, and if you take it, you will be given benefits, so that people can be convinced.

That's what Zhuge Liang did in Nanzhong back then, first hammering down all the old fists to let them know who the boss was. Then the local clans were dragged to work in the imperial court, and most of the barbarians moved to the tuntian under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and joined the army.

The rest of the diehards are fighting, fighting without mercy. Chasing the dead and chasing the north, he captured Meng Shudu, who was the leader on the opposite side, seven times, and beat him until all the diehards were dead and there was no longer enough strength to rebel.

Therefore, Ma Tan's plan was the same, first to win over the pro-Han Qiang people, leaving only the diehards on the opposite side. Then he can rest assured that he will lead his troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress them, and eliminate all the stubborn Qiang people.

This has two advantages, Longxi, which is originally sparsely populated, can be filled with a large number of people for cultivation in a short time. Longxi County, which is faced with less people and more land, can tap greater agricultural potential.

Moreover, so many Qiang people can also fill the army, and then form a strong Wudang flying army.

These aspects undoubtedly enriched Shu Han's weak national strength a few points, and the Northern Expedition would be more powerful in the future.

Ma Yan's plan was perfect, but after understanding it clearly, Li Mu was shocked and fiercely opposed.

"Ming Gong, this plan is absolutely impossible, with your body really can't withstand the deep hairlessness and conquest of the Qiang people!"

Ma Tan's body is obvious to everyone, and he has been very weak since the fire dragon burned the warehouse. Now the injury is healed, but the body is weak as if it was blown down by a gust of wind.

If you take the soldiers and horses to the deep mountains and plateaus to suppress Qiang, I am afraid that you will come back vertically and horizontally.

"Look, you're in a hurry." Ma Tan pointed at Li Mu, shook his head and smiled.

"At the beginning, the prime minister was able to enter the Nanban in May and go deep into the Mao to command the battle. And I, Ma Yan, am just a little Confucian student, is it possible that I am still greedy for life and afraid of death, hiding in the city and watching the Han soldiers fight outside? ”

"What's more, I am still from the army, as a general, I need to experience the battlefield and live and die with the soldiers, and share honor and disgrace!"
