"Your Majesty, I am stupid and not good at farming, but whether it is planting or picking cotton, it seems that it requires a large amount of manpower..."
Although the Kailun tribe was not as popular as the people at this time, it was not much better.
And even if there is an imperial edict, they are unlikely to give up the traditional livestock industry immediately.
Herding cattle and sheep also requires a large population.
Therefore, the population of the Kailun tribe at this time was definitely a big problem.
"Your Majesty," Guan Yi bowed and tentatively said: "Can the Empire consider moving some civilians from the east...?"
First, it can alleviate Kailun's population problem, and second, it can also better accelerate assimilation.
Ren Ning understood what he meant, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head slowly.
"I know this in my mind."
"And..." He smiled and looked towards the western sky, "Calun's population is not as small as you imagined."
In order to fight the east, the King of Xiliang was arrogantly forcing the people of all races on the grassland.
It can be described in one sentence.
Either set off or perish, there is almost no third choice.
At the beginning, many small and medium-sized tribes like Kailun had objections, but these people died soon and died.
When others saw the ending of these neighbors, they either collected money and agreed, or gritted their teeth and agreed.
Although these tribes later asked people to contribute their strength and devoted themselves to the east.
But the royal court did not give up because of this, and never even took the efforts and sacrifices of these tribes seriously. It still drank like a slave and scolded him.
Many patriarchs were dissatisfied, and after returning to their senses, they became even more resentful.
It was just because the tribe was weak and unable to resist, so it hid and refused to release.
Later, Dingxi counterattacked.
Many small and medium-sized tribes are happy to be transferred to the periphery of the defense circle and do not have to serve as the first siege troops.
It turned out that this was a completely big pit, and they were actually under more tragic attacks than climbing the top of the Wheelstone City.
With a heart of death and extreme anger, these small and medium-sized tribes resisted for a while and then fled without hesitation.
During this period, many people escaped from the battlefield by chance, but soon these people discovered something.
The world is so big that they have nowhere to go.
Going east is the vast mountain range of falling in front of you, and behind the mountain is the people who regard them as their mortal enemies, and cannot go.
Going north is the rumored non-returning desert, and the forbidden land on earth, so I dare not go!
Go west, you can return to the tribe.
But as a battlefield deserter, once he is caught by the royal court, all the clans will not be able to escape death.
In the end, they had to go south and then they arrived near the Kailun tribe.
Guan Yi suddenly realized.
"I see."
Although these people are either clan leaders or elders, they usually have elite taxes or personal guards in the clan, and their combat power is strong.
But after a long journey, I couldn't cause any storm when I met Xinglu soldiers stationed in the Kailun tribe.
Speaking of this, Ren Ning smiled slightly.
"In addition to these people, after the Dingxi counterattack ended, the fortress also captured a large number of Dingxi soldiers and various slaves..."
All of these people were cut off by Huo Ling, and then put them back into the Xiliang grassland in batches.
Most of them go west, but some go south.
Although there are many people, it is not enough to be worried about being unable to ride a horse due to injury and cannot take up a gun.
When we arrived near the Kailun tribe, we happened to stay and farm.
"So Kailun is not short of manpower for the time being," Ren Ning concluded.
When Lao Santai and his friends planted cotton on a large scale and found that they were not enough to ask Xingji City for help, they sent the people from the east to come over, so that the two tribes could be more easily integrated.
"Your Majesty's great opinion," Guan Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely: "I am ashamed of myself."
Ren Ning shook his head.
"Don't be arrogant, is there anything else?"
If you have nothing to do, he will be a bastard. He has to go back to the harem to accompany his wife and children.
The imperial physician has already said that Li Hezhu was about to give birth in the past or two days.
"Your Majesty forgives your crime, I do have one more thing."
Guan Yi knew Ren Ning's temperament and quickly took out another note and picked it up.
"Your Majesty, this is a negotiation letter submitted by the Yamato Pavilion of the Honglu Temple. It is the Japanese pirate Emperor's idea of the future relationship between the two countries and the intention to redeem the captured Japanese pirate general."
Ren Ning took it and glanced a few times, then gently put it back on the dragon table.
His face was as calm as water.
"The only Japanese pirates are just barbarians who live in a corner of the overseas world. They could have lived a life of silence, but they were arrogant and repeatedly violated the power of heaven. Now that their country is destroyed, their families are broken, their mountains and rivers are broken, they are rashly sent troops overseas, and their soldiers are killed and injured, which is the end of the road."
"A mere dog that is stray, is worthy of discussing how to get along with me in the future?"
"ridiculous!"
Guan Yi felt a secret in his heart and suddenly felt refreshed.
He bowed and bowed again, and the sound was like a loud bell.
"Your Majesty is wise! Han Feizi said that if a country is small but not humble, if it is weak but not afraid of strength, if it is rude and insulting big neighbors, if it is greedy and stubborn but clumsy, it will be destroyed."
"I think if the Japanese pirates know the truth, they should bow their heads and be slaves forever. If they don't know the truth, Yun Chui just waves his hand and lets his country be destroyed and the seeds will never turn over!
Ren Ning nodded with satisfaction, "I will leave this matter to you and Shangshu Fan to discuss and handle it properly."
"I obey the order."
Guan Yi was not surprised, he hesitated.
"Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates are going to redeem Naoto, Ishikawa Taki, and Nezui Masato, what should we do with the generals leading the army?"
Knowing Ren Ning’s bottom line, he and Fan Wen can negotiate.
Ren Ning stood up, his eyes as if it was a torch.
"Jiudon Naoto was honored as a general in the Western Expedition and led the entire Japanese pirate army. However, this person was not brave or scheming, and he was even more out of order in terms of military strategy and specific tactical command. It was pure nonsense and not worth worrying about."
"If the Japanese pirates intend to redeem them, they will get half-dead, let them bleed heavily and take the people away."
Guan Yiran, and in his heart, he was planning on how to get Canjido Naoto and what price to pay.
He said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will let the Japanese pirates know that Yun Chui cannot be provoked, and they will regret it if they provoke it."
Hmm.
Ren Ning nodded with satisfaction.
"As for Ishikawa Taki..."
Speaking of this, his eyes became cold, as if a blade was unsheathed, and it was cold and impatient.
"This thief has repeatedly sent troops to invade our territory, and during this period, he killed, burned, looted, and committed a lot of evil. Although he has been killed, if he does not crush his bones and dust it, it will not be enough to comfort me, and to calm the anger of the people of the world."
"Your Majesty's wise!"
Guanyi bowed his hand, his voice was as iron as iron, and every word was sonorous.
"I have already thought of a plan to punish Ishikawa. Apart from removing the violent corpse for a hundred days, crushing the bones and ashes, he will die without losing his life, he will kneel on the Dinghai Wharf, so that he will kneel forever, and be scolded by my people for thousands of years and be whipped forever."
"The name of this thief will be infamous for thousands of years and will always be a laughing stock in the world!"
"Very good." Ren Ning was very satisfied.
"There is also a Neni Masato..."
He pulled the corners of his mouth.
"He is also a few brave and resourceful Japanese pirates, and he will sacrifice everything to achieve his goal. If he is released, it may be a big problem. In this way, just like Naoto Kudo, please send the Japanese pirates a disabled person after receiving the money."
"In addition, the middle and high-level generals who were named by the Japanese pirates will be treated the same. Those who did not name will be sent to all parts of the empire like other prisoners, and asked them to build roads and bridges."
Yunchuan has a vast territory, and there are still many places to be repaired, repaired and expanded.
Moreover, as prisoners, these Japanese pirates do not have to pay any salary at all, and they are good laborers.
