Chapter 756 Choice
Xiping County accounts for at least half of the birthplace of the Qianghu Rebellion in Liangzhou.
Because the Huangshui River Valley in Xiping County is a place that produces fine horses, it is naturally a good place for grazing. It is also the place where the Hu people gather most.
Qiang people, Di people, Xiaoyuehu people, Sanzahu people, etc., all graze there in groups.
At that time, the Later Han Dynasty also organized the Huangzhong Yi Conghu and asked them to help guard Liangzhou.
The latest Liangzhou rebellion was caused by the rebellion of Huangzhong Yi Conghu who was guarding Lingju, which caused the Liangzhou chaos to get out of hand.
Ten years ago, Xiping County Quyan rebelled, and Zhangye and Jiuquan responded. The Hu people in Wuwei also followed suit.
Zhang Gong and Zhang Ju, father and son of the Zhang family in Dunhuang, were rewarded for their contribution to quelling the chaos at that time.
Two years ago, another rebellion broke out in Xiping, which was put down by Hao Zhao and Lu Pan.
So the Han Dynasty wanted to re-govern Liangzhou. The Huangshui River Valley in Xiping County and the large area across the river in Longxi Powhan were the key monitoring areas for the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion.
But those who can see this definitely do not include Liu Liang.
Because to have this strategic vision, in addition to the individual's own talent, he also needs a professional department to collect various information and then make judgments.
The only people in the palace of the Colonel Protecting Qiang who have such a vision are Feng Junhou and Mrs. Zhang.
Ms. Zhang made her judgment based on her talent and the information collected by the relevant departments of the Qiang Protector's Office.
And Feng Junhou was just cheating.
Relying on the massive knowledge and experience of later generations, as well as various bombings on the Internet, or being bombarded.
Using the keyboard as a weapon and the Internet as a battlefield, we can act chivalrously and do anything.
Although Liu Yan has no abilities, at least he is considered to be in a high position in name.
Part of the reason why he can do this is that Ji Han currently has too few royal relatives.
There were even fewer royal family members who were willing to support the late emperor, and only Liu Yan was the only one.
Zhang Xingyi doesn’t like Liu Liang from a personal perspective.
However, from a royal perspective, if Liu Liang is willing to strive for success, she will definitely give more advice.
Xiping County is like a dry firewood pile poured with oil.
The Tufa Tribe is the strongest Hu tribe next to Xiping County and is not under the control of the Han Dynasty. Even without Feng Yong's relationship, it will receive special attention.
This is a political strategy and has nothing to do with personal feelings.
Politics must not involve emotions.
Liu Liang, who was instructed by Zhang Xingyi, tried to implement the policy of settlement of the Hu people in the Xiping area. The final result will determine how much credit he can get.
So it’s natural to pay attention to this matter.
The three of them were drinking and cutting the barbecue on the fire with daggers, and they soon became drunk.
The bald man watched Liu Liang burp from wine and put his arms around his son, and his words seemed a little awkward.
So he asked tentatively: "Looking at Liu Langjun's daily behavior, he cares a lot about my family. I am very grateful, but I am afraid. Is there anything I can do to repay Liu Langjun?"
“Repay, wool is the reward!”
Liu Liang put a hand on Bald Kheli's shoulder and said with a loud tongue, "You can also use oxen and horses. If you have high-quality war horses, that would be the best!"
"But I wonder how much Liu Langjun wants? The bald tribe must be taken care of by Liu Langjun. Although the tribe is not big, as long as Liu Langjun asks, he will do his best to take care of it."
Liu Liang shook his head and stuffed the wine jar into Bald Pigu's arms, "Mr. Bald, don't worry. If you have these cattle, sheep, and horses, that would be the best."
"If you don't have it, it doesn't matter. But you have brought this wool of no use, so I'll buy it and exchange it for grain!"
As he spoke, he burped again. He looked quite drunk and couldn't keep his mouth shut.
“You don’t know that my official position is important to you. I have a lot of grain on hand, and I can decide which tribe to lend it to.”
The bald Pigu couldn't understand: "Mission?"
What's the meaning?
“Huh, that is, a certain amount of wool must be collected every year. If the wool is insufficient, the best war horses can make up for it. The worst, cattle and sheep must be used to make up for it.”
Liu Liang waved his hand, "If not, then it will be a dereliction of duty and you will be punished."
“So there are still such rules?”
The bald man nods his head.
“Otherwise, why do you think I would say good things to those barbarians and give them food supplies?”
Liu Liang took the wine jar again, raised his neck and took a sip, exhaling a strong smell of alcohol.
“That Feng Yong is a capable person, but he won’t deal with me. I won’t hide this from you either.”
"So I have to do this errand well. If I can't do it well, Feng Yong will not show mercy to me."
At present, there are two types of governance of the Qiang and Hu people in Liangzhou by the Qiang Protector's Office.
One is like Tianshui County, where those who want to graze can divide pastures, and those who want to cultivate can open up wasteland and divide fields, all for the purpose of unified management.
In a few years, when they are used to settling down, they will be able to directly register the people as household members, and the process will go smoothly.
Because Feng Langjun’s reputation is in the Tianshui area, so good!
As long as they are not allowed to wander around and can settle down, the Han Dynasty will have many methods in governance and management.
An ancient saying goes: Only those who have constant income have perseverance!
The second type is like Longxi's Fuhan and Xiping counties, where the Hu people are too concentrated and have a long tradition of rebellion.
In addition, because it is a newly settled place, it cannot be too harsh, so there are more transitions than in the Tianshui area. We must first find ways to appease them and win the hearts of the barbarians.
Bald Pigu naturally didn't know about these plans of the Protector Qiang Colonel's Mansion. When he heard Liu Liang's words, his heart moved.
“Liu Langjun, you just want wool?”
“It’s not that I want it, it’s that the Protector Qiang Colonel’s Mansion wants it.”
Liu Liang drunkenly patted the bald man on the shoulder, "As long as you are willing to sell the wool to me, everything will be fine."
"As long as you are willing to help me, no one will care about you on the other side of the West Sea."
However, this sentence is of no use to a bald man.
Because neither the Han people nor the Wei people have the ability to send troops to the West Sea.
But the next sentence caught his attention.
"When winter comes, you can spend the winter here at the border of Xiping every year. From now on, the Han Dynasty will open pastures in Huangshui, and then I can think of ways to provide you with fodder in the winter."
The father and son, Bald Pigu and Bald Kheli, looked at each other.
“Liu Langjun, are you serious about this?”
"Why did I lie to you?" Liu Liang drank too much and simply let go and said, "Otherwise, what do you think I am doing here?"
“Who am I? I am a royal clan member, do you know? If I hadn’t been forced to do nothing, I would have come here to drink from the northwest wind, for what purpose…”
“That Feng Yong, he’s not a good person…huh…huh…”
Liu Liang fell asleep while talking.
It was already late at night, and the bald man ordered the women of the tribe to help Liu Liang to rest. He also informed the entourage Liu Liang had brought over that they would rest in the big tent tonight.
The father and son continued to sit back by the firepit.
“Sir, what do you think?”
The bald man couldn't help but ask.
“At least we don’t have to worry about it in the winter.”
Bald Pigu replied.
