After taking the Danqu County without any blood, Liu Bei basically put down this rebellion of the Han people.
The rebel troops all surrendered and did not continue to cause chaos. The situation in Bajun stabilized, and the situation in Yizhou also stabilized, and no more wars occurred.
This was Liu Bei's second visit to Shu. He put down the rebellion in Shu for the second time and subdued the famous fighting nations in Sichuan and Shu. The reputation of the ever-victorious general quickly spread throughout Sichuan and Shu.
However, the affairs of the Jin tribe did not end there. Liu Bei still had many things to do.
The Jin tribe is large in scale and has a large population. Although they have lived together with the Han people for a long time and have been deeply Hanized, they still retain some of the traditions of the primitive tribes.
Its tribe has seven surnames, including Luo, Pu, Da, E, Du, Xi and Gong, as the largest surnames. The seven major surnames account for a considerable part of the Jin people's population, so the heads of the seven major surnames are also the seven leaders of the Jin people.
At present, the Ti people do not have a unified leader. This is a good thing for Liu Bei. It means that the Ti people are not a whole that cannot be penetrated by needles or splashed by water. In this way, they can divide and conquer, and this fighting nation can be controlled.
.
Before the war, Liu Bei's promise was to let them follow him, and then he would be able to protect them. After the war, Liu Bei decided to convene a meeting with the most eloquent leaders among the people. He wanted to announce something and fulfill his promise.
In this rebellion, four of the seven major surnames participated, namely the Luo family, the Du family, the E family and the Gong family. The remaining three major surnames did not participate due to various reasons.
Liu Bei summoned the heads of the seven major surnames for a meeting in Danqu County to discuss some future matters.
First of all, Liu Bei said that he would recruit troops in Bajun, mainly recruiting Ti people to join the army. The major tribes of Ti people should actively sign up to join the army. Liu Bei should recruit at least 20,000 Ti people to join the army. This would increase Liu Bei's power and status in Shu, and also increase the number of Ti people.
The affiliation between Ren and Liu Bei.
In addition, Liu Bei will recommend someone he trusts to be the governor of Bajun.
Since the new governor of Bajun is someone Liu Bei trusts, that is, someone who can speak on behalf of Liu Bei, the future taxation, corvee, etc. of the tribe will be discussed with them after the new governor of Bajun takes office.
Everyone discussed a special clause within the scope of the laws of the Han Empire, signed it in black and white, and declared that heaven and earth would approve it before it was implemented.
When the time comes, the Ba County government will fulfill its promise and act in accordance with the agreement, and the people will also pay taxes in accordance with the agreement, abide by their duties, and cannot continue to cause trouble, otherwise Liu Bei will not spare them.
When the Heavenly Soldiers of the Han Dynasty arrive, it will be the time for the tribe to confer heads. Some things can happen once, but they are never allowed to happen a second time. If they happen a second time, don't blame him for turning against him.
In addition, Liu Bei believed that although the Chi people had a reputation of being brave and good at fighting, they were still barbarians in the eyes of the mainstream Han people.
The reason why they are barbarians is because they do not read enough books and do not have rich enough knowledge, so they are looked down upon by the Han people.
If the Ti people want to gain the respect of the Han people, they can't just be good at fighting.
The Ti people can fight, and many Han people can fight too. The more Han people there are, the more powerful they are in fighting. The Ti people can't read and fight, and they'll be a ghost if they don't look down upon.
Therefore, people should seriously reflect on their wrong behaviors, correct their wrong practices, strive to improve their knowledge, study hard, read and write, and strive to move forward deeply in the direction of civilization and enlightenment, and fully embrace the civilized world.
In this way, the Ti people can finally be respected, get rid of ignorance, and be recognized by the mainstream Han people.
Regarding Liu Bei's suggestion, the leaders of the seven major surnames were all knowledgeable and well-educated. They knew how much the Han people valued reading and education, but because they had no access to this aspect, they could not learn anything good.
"Although we have the idea of going to school, we do not have enough money and there are not enough teachers willing to teach. This is the most helpless thing."
Luo Ge looked at Liu Bei expectantly: "In the past, we had no choice, but now, I heard that you have set up a state school in Liangzhou, and many people are studying there. I wonder if we..."
Luo Ge's expectations played into Liu Bei's mind.
"I have set up a state school in Liangzhou to recruit students. I think the effect is pretty good. If you are willing, you can select the smart and outstanding children from your clan to go to Liangzhou state school to study. I will send people to teach them properly so that they can
If you master the knowledge, you can become Liu's disciple in the future."
The leaders of the seven major surnames were very happy and thanked Liu Bei one after another for giving them such a precious opportunity to receive education.
And as the upper echelons of the tribe, they also have some basic understanding of the four words "disciple of the Liu family", and they yearn for this identity's status within the mainstream group of Han people.
That was an opportunity that was beyond their reach. Now, this opportunity is in front of them, how can they not seize it vigorously?
Seeing that they were willing, Liu Bei chuckled and put forward some of his own ideas.
"Your children have received education, but there are still many people who have not received education. Although their status is not high, I think it is necessary to teach them how to read. I will set up literacy classes in Liangzhou to teach illiterate commoners how to read.
Reading and writing, I think this is very necessary.
After you can read and write, you will at least be able to understand the imperial edicts and will not be deceived by some lawless people in the government. In the past, your people were bullied by the government. The main reason was that they were illiterate and could not understand the imperial edicts.
So much so that I was deceived by some unscrupulous officials.
Of course, this is a big expense, but I think it is very meaningful to spend this expense. I hope that the government will contribute half of this expense, and you, the seven major surnames, will contribute half, and jointly fund the hiring of knowledgeable people.
What do you think about a hyphenation person coming to teach you reading and writing skills?"
The representatives of the seven major surnames were silent for a while and looked at each other. Finally, Luo Ge stood up and broke the silence.
"Your Majesty is wholeheartedly thinking about our people. This intention is absolutely irresistible to our clansmen. Therefore, I think what Your Majesty wants to do is right and we should support it."
Du Hu also stood up and said angrily that he was also willing to support Liu Bei's request and was willing to pay for literacy classes for the tribesmen. If all the tribesmen could understand Chinese characters, they would not be deceived by the government.
If a few leaders stand up and support it, then the rest of the people will be willing to support it.
They didn't want Liu Bei to be dissatisfied because of these things, so they just regarded it as spending money to eliminate disasters and make Liu Bei satisfied with them. Then there was always something worthwhile.
So the matter was finalized.
The Tao people initially reached an intention to cooperate with Liu Bei, and as an important issue of cooperation, Liu Bei announced that he would start recruiting troops in Bajun, recruiting about 20,000 Tao soldiers to join his army and obey his orders.
This is what Liu Bei hopes for, and it is also what the people hope for.
They eagerly hoped to reach cooperation with Liu Bei as soon as possible, so before September came, this matter was announced to be carried out.
At the same time, out of various considerations, Liu Bei decided to petition the court to recruit his good brother as the new governor of Bajun.
There are many things in Bajun, and there are even more problems in getting along with the Jin people. Liu Bei must choose a reliable person to serve as the governor of Bajun, and handle the many matters of the Jin people for him in Bajun, ensuring the harmony between the Jin people and the Bajun government.
Build a good relationship and don't let anything go wrong again.
