Chapter 236 New Strategies for Governing Barbarians
Qiao Xuan's face suddenly turned blue. Chen Wen was also shaking his head. Lu Kang was laughing secretly, "If you continue to be arrogant, you'll only be applauded if you offend everyone."
Lu Jun was secretly sweating for Cao Zhi. Sun Ce pretended to hold up the wine bottle and took a sip, secretly saying: "Damn it, you have the guts!"
It is normal for Cao Zhizhi, who comes from the 21st century, to say such nonsense in one breath. In our current era, the concept of race has long been subtly eliminated. Several modern Han people are still purebred Han people. For thousands of years, the concept of race has been eliminated.
With the change of dynasties, the taking turns of rule by multiple ethnic groups on the stage of Chinese history, and the multiple fusions of ethnic groups, the blood of the modern Han people has been mixed with countless foreign elements. According to research by modern scientists, the purebred Han people in China are in Fujian
Some very remote and isolated backward areas still exist. It is conceivable that Cao Zhizhi logically proposed the concept of "ethnic equality", which is actually a normal concept in his mind.
Cao Zhi touched his chin and sighed. Just when he was about to continue his train of thought, he realized that Cao Cao was looking at him with a look of shock. Cao Cao secretly said: "I want you not to be afraid anymore."
They didn't ask you to break up with them now!"
Cao Zhi also knew that he was speaking freely and causing trouble! Cao Zhi had recently been thinking about how to better arrange Jiang Xiaman's various things. When Qiao Xuan teased him, he came out easily. He originally lacked the ancient "respect"
"Elders" education, but once the words are spoken, they cannot be taken back, and they can only be broken down.
Qiao Xuan was also an old man. His expression changed, and he immediately returned to normal. He suppressed his anger and said calmly: "I would like to hear the details!"
Cao Zhi shrugged, cleared his throat and said: "At the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, we also awarded these barbarians the titles of city kings and city chiefs, as well as seals and ribbons. The barbarians also surrendered for a time and treated them differently.
Different taxes are collected. Take Banzhen Man as an example. In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the tax standard set for them was an annual tax payment of 2,060 yuan, a righteous tax payment of 1,800 yuan every three years, and a household tax of eighty feet.
Two feet, chicken feathers and thirty deer, but the government gave them more tax, and the servants were better than slaves, and the Banzhen people were worried about the taxes and torture, so they joined forces many times and got together.
Rise up and resist. Even if we capture the Jiangxia barbarians this time and drive them back to Jiangxia, they will definitely rebel again in a few years. For decades, the Jiangxia barbarians have been capricious and capricious. This is why the imperial court
It’s difficult to achieve lasting peace and stability!”
Cao Zhi's words made the lobby fall into silence for a while. Lu Kang, who had not spoken for a long time, also stayed quiet for a while before slowly asking: "Humph! Captain Cao means that we forced Jiangxia Man to rebel?"
Cao Zhilue leaned over and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "I don't mean to be lowered to the official position, but things often happen for a reason. The root cause of Jiangxia barbarian rebellion is that the government is unfair to them, repeatedly increasing their taxes and treating them as slaves, which leads to continuous
Rebellion, it is useless to talk about it now, we are powerless to change this fact."
Lu Kang said "hmm" and said, "In your opinion, how can we naturalize it?"
Cao Zhi gave Lu Kang a steady look and then replied: "First, we must use force to dampen his spirit and make him surrender, so that he will not dare to resist again; second, build city walls and garrison troops to maintain law and order; third,
Third, the Han people were equal in taxation, labor and labor, so that they knew the laws of the court and had no intention of injustice; fourth: Now the barbarian village is a barbarian village, and the Han residents are Han residents. In the Jiangxia area, it is said that they live together, but in fact they are surrounded by barriers.
In the Ming Dynasty, people did not interact with each other until old age and death. Not only Lujiang, Jiujiang and even Yangzhou should be forcibly relocated to barbarians and forced to live together. In ten years, there would be intermarriage, and at the latest a hundred years, they would be reunited. Fifth: Let the barbarians know Chinese characters and get used to them.
Chinese, read the books of sages; Sixth: The barbarians are ignorant and backward, and they are full and happy when they are cultivated by fire. The government should provide assistance and help them build houses, open up fields, and teach farming so that they can have houses and fields, and live and work in peace and contentment. Chapter 2
Seventh: Establishing folk studies and teaching etiquette so that all the barbarian children can learn and educate; Eighth: Expanding commerce, merchants from the north, south, west and east travel back and forth, the world's news flow is not blocked, the horizons are broadened, and the knowledge is extensive. At that time, troops were used to drive them away.
I’m afraid they will no longer be willing to live in the mountains and forests and live a savage life.”
When Cao Cao spoke, he was unsure of his younger brother at first. When he heard the first two words, he just nodded and listened quietly. When he came to the third one, he hurriedly waved his hand and asked Cao Ren to write it down one by one. After Cao Zhi finished speaking about the Eight Strategies of Ping Man,
Cao Cao was so excited that there was even applause in the hall.
The one who took the lead in applauding was Chen Wen. Chen Wen was already happy at this time. After passing a few cases, he grabbed Cao Zhi's hand and praised repeatedly: "Captain Cao, you are really talented. I finally saw the right person!"
It's not that Chen Wen didn't know about the bad relationship between Lu Kang and Cao Zhi. When he came to Wancheng, Lu Kang had instigated him and Cao Zhi more than once. But after all, Cao Zhi is now his, and he has gained prestige.
, I also feel that my face is bright.
In the past two years, Captain Cao Zhi had done many meritorious deeds for him. When there was something good for him, Captain Cao always thought of him as the governor first. Chen Wen always remembered Cao Zhi's good deeds and led his troops to Luoyang. Although he was the main
The purpose was to save his brother, but he led 3,000 troops out once, and he, the governor, was not asked to pay a penny. Not only did he bring back an expanded army, but he also brought back a cart full of loot.
The car was loaded with grain, grass and property. Chen Wen was worried about having nowhere to collect the money and grain needed to pacify the Jiangxia barbarians. This did not solve Chen Wen's urgent need at the time. It is not reasonable to say that Cao Zhi's behavior was a timely act.
Pass.
Of course, someone also complained to him. This person was of course his valet Deng Ai. He said that Cao Zhi went to Luoyang nominally to participate in the Kwantung Alliance's campaign against Dong Zhuo with his brother Cao Cao, but how could he lead it?
After returning so much property, he must have done something shameful along the way, and asked Chen Wen to investigate thoroughly, but Cao Zhi never returned to Liyang, and was drafted to Lujiang to quell the rebellion on the way, so nothing happened.
Later, Deng Ai reported to Chen Wen that Cao Zhi had enriched himself and only a small part of the property handed over to Chen Wen, and that Cao Zhi and the soldiers of the Western Camp had embezzled a lot.
Chen Wen paid great attention to this matter. He conducted a thorough search on Cao Zhi's 1,000 soldiers who had returned to the camp first, and found a lot of property, but it was only a drop in the bucket compared to what was handed over to Chen Wen. Chen Wen was immediately relieved.
Is this easy to understand? Captain Cao gained a lot of loot during his expedition, but he cared about Yangzhou and the governor who was kind to him. He did not take the property for himself and distributed some to his subordinates. He might also be greedy.
