Chapter 260 Desire to Return to Youzhou Bing Saichuan
After Liu Xiang finished eating, he watched Dian Wei eat a basket of pancakes, two jars of porridge, seven or eight salted fish, and a basin of rice. This amount of food was enough for him to last for two days, twice as much as the pot-bellied Zhao Jing.
.
The two immediately became close friends because of this meal.
They all have the same attitude towards meals. It doesn't matter what they eat, but the amount is sufficient.
After dinner, they met for a martial arts competition. Zhao Jing said that he would help Dian Wei get familiar with the army and impress his soldiers. Liu Xiang felt that there was nothing wrong with this. Zhao Jing was beaten in public, and Dian Wei's prestige was established.
, there’s nothing wrong with it at all, it’s really helpful.
This guy is a tough guy who fights repeatedly.
Putting aside these trivial matters, Liu Xiang was thinking about his next plan. The war in Taihang Mountain must end here and must not go south, otherwise it will definitely provoke the imperial army. He does not want to expand the scale of the war. Youzhou's foundation is too weak to fight a big army.
A large-scale war of attrition must limit the intensity of fighting on the southern front.
The city of Hanoi County cannot be occupied for a long time. We must save some face for the court. After all, this is Sili.
The war in Liaodong is still at a stalemate. The royal city of Fuyu is thousands of miles away from Liaodong. Yuan Huanguang has to travel for more than a month. There will be no news for the time being. There is no useful information sent back from Goguryeo and Dongxianbei, but Tiqi is enjoying it.
Lang got some information that I don't know if it's useful or not.
In Bingyuan, Guan Ning avoided misfortune and enjoyed being unfaithful, and Zhang Qi, the prefect, often hosted banquets. Many people and scholars relied on him and were willing to listen to his teachings.
Together with Hua Xin, these two people are called three people and one dragon. Hua Xin is the head of the dragon, Bing Yuan is the belly of the dragon, and Guan Ning is the tail of the dragon. They were all famous Confucian scholars in the late Han Dynasty. The "Shishuo Xinyu" written during the Southern and Northern Dynasties also has
It records the story of Guan Ning's "cutting off the righteousness".
In later generations, the cutting off of robes and severance of righteousness, the severance of kindness and so on, all evolved from this.
I wonder if Xianbei, Fuyu, and Goguryeo are on Lelang's side this time. Is there any trace of them?
We have to find a way to get it and put it in a college to run a school. These two people are both virtuous and knowledgeable educators. They also come from poor families. They understand the suffering and treat the people well.
Guan Ning is a descendant of Guan Zhong. He lost his father in his early years and was lonely and poor. Bing Yuan was orphaned when he was young. He was too poor to even go to school. If not for the mercy of the teacher in the school next door, he would have become a trafficker and a pawn.
situation.
Both of them were from Zhuxu County, Beihai County, Qingzhou, and they both fled Liaodong during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Liu Xiang looked for them when he attacked Liaodong, but unfortunately he could not find them. It seemed that they hid in Lelang at that time.
There is no need to be too anxious about this matter. Once Lelang is captured, if you don't believe they can go to Sanhan or Japan, if you really have the ability, just go to the sea. That's a really cool person.
"Can't I compare to the mere Zhang Qi? What the hell is running to Lelang?" Liu Xiang complained angrily.
These people are brainless.
The night flowed with his complaints, non-stop.
The next day, 40,000 people under Zhou Cang went to Cangyan Valley to clean up the battlefield. Taishi Ci and Zhang He escorted 60,000 prisoners back to Youzhou. These prisoners were demoted to hard labor and sent to various places for mining, logging, and road construction.
dam.
There are already 300,000 to 400,000 people in hard labor in Youzhou, some are for life, some are for a limited period of time, and there are prisoners of war and criminals. Under Liu Xiang's rule, it is impossible to quietly eat in prison. People are detained in various county jails.
, either on death row or as people awaiting sentence but not yet sentenced, and the others were sent to hard labor camps in various places.
These hard labors are different from slaves. Slaves have a lowly status for life. Hard labors are released home after serving the sentence and will not involve their families. The hard labor sentences in Youzhou range from one day to a lifetime.
For example, public toilets are built in every county, and there are fire and plague prevention and control teams patrolling those who defecate in public. If these people are caught, they will be fined to clean the streets. The time is not fixed, at least one day, until the next one is caught defecating.
Until he replaces him, what he caught himself counts, so the group of people who were punished have the highest motivation.
Theoretically, he could clean for a day or for a lifetime.
The effect of promoting public toilets is very good, mainly because it provides a way to make money. Those who are responsible for pulling night scents can make money. There are farmers who specially buy them and then bring them home for retting.
There are also people who specialize in retting and selling fertilizers, which is more profitable than selling night scented food.
Many heroes have switched to this industry, but there is no other way. Those who engage in assassination and plundering people will be beheaded when caught; those who help people complain and work as thugs and run gambling stalls are now working hard in hard labor camps; those who lend money and collect loans
, either died or the whole family became slaves, worse than hard labor.
As for those who collect protection fees, they are not crazy yet. The shops in the city are either owned by Liu Xiang or belong to the military. If you go to collect money, you will be chopped into eight pieces.
You can't even go to the countryside. Those militia groups are not freeloaders. No matter how good their martial arts skills are, they can't stop bows and arrows or throw spears. They kill people and throw them into the ravine, and it's all over.
Transporting goods, fertilizing, and selling night incense have become their few choices. They also have to compete with those military caravans, and they are often bullied, which is miserable.
To be a chivalrous person is to put away your temper and be an honest person. Being able to share a piece of land is the greatest blessing.
Dare to explode? Whips, boards, and hard labor camps are waiting for them.
At least that's the case in Youzhou.
Liu Xiang does not need knights. If he likes excitement, he will join the army and go to the battlefield. Otherwise, he will quietly farm and eat. Those who obey orders will live and work in peace and contentment. Those who resist will be welcomed into the family of hundreds of thousands of hard laborers.
Just because he cares about the people doesn't mean he is a bad person.
His current political system is a military government that works hard and fights. It prioritizes war, the army, and stability. He cannot satisfy everyone. Those are the benefits, and he will only share them with gratitude. Listen.
According to his words, those who are willing to follow him and the rest will be suppressed.
Every person who starts a business has a group of interest groups surrounding him. It's just that some people choose a wealthy family, while he chooses poor people. There is essentially no difference, it's just different ways of doing things.
For example, most of the people in Chaoge were unwilling to follow him, and he was not prepared to force him. Forcing a group of resentful people to go to Youzhou would do more harm than good. He just ordered Zhang Liao's troops to move with more than 10,000 poor people who were willing to accompany them.
It emptied the county treasury and the wealth of large households.
On September 26, Zhou Cang's troops retreated to Taihangxing.
On the same day, a detective report was received: Henan Yin He Miao led an army of 30,000 people and crossed the Yellow River to go north.
The prisoners and the people were returning to Youzhou along the highway at the east foot of Taihang Mountain, and the team had not traveled a hundred miles.
Liu Xiang decided to lead the Anping Army after Chao Ge died.
Order Zhou Cang to leave Taihangxing again and capture Tangyin County, ninety miles north of Chaoge, which would threaten the Anping Army's supply line.
The governor of Hanoi did not move, but Yin from Henan came all the way across the river. What kind of gameplay is this?
I retreated because I didn't want to expand the scale of the war, but it wasn't because I couldn't defeat him. He Miao and Xiao Cong, without his sister Queen He, were just the sons of butchers selling meat.
