Liu Yan is not stupid enough to think that those Jin people should naturally stand in support of him.
At present, the Jin people are the most complex group. They are selfish and self-interest. It is not that they are willing to be selfish and self-interest. It is the Jin court that abandoned them, and then the bad situation forced them to make such a choice.
"Yes, they have no sense of security. They live in worry and uncertainty all the time." Ji Chang has a deep understanding of this: "we don't need to give them a sense of security now, just let them know that we don't have much malice."
The Han ministry will send people to collect taxes from various powerful or ethnic groups. Similar things have been done last time. There is a list of willing and unwilling to pay. Because the tax demanded by the Han ministry is not excessive, it can even be said to be just symbolic. At that time, most of the great powers and big families chose to make friends, and only a few of them ignored it.
"Continue to collect taxes." Liu Yan has specially learned that there are powerful forces near Huangdao District. He said: "if there is a strong refusal, they are the target of our next attack."
Jin people living in the Central Plains won't have too many fools. Fools can't survive in the complex central plains. Liu Yan really wants to see if there will be fools among the giants who originally refused to pay taxes because the Han ministry has removed the threat.
"We don't have siege equipment..." Xu Zheng said his needs: "moreover, siege equipment can be made, but soldiers still need some time to practice siege."
Only the Han Dynasty has relevant ideas. Since Liu Yan thinks it is a kind of murder to drive people to the battlefield without training, Xu Zheng will say what seems like a bastard.
That's true. Without training, they were drawn to the battlefield. It doesn't matter what role such troops can play. The population of the Han Dynasty is not rich enough to sacrifice at will. Next, the Han Dynasty will probably continue to recruit the powerful. Those powerful basically have strongholds or fortresses. The soldiers of the Han Dynasty need to practice how to attack the city.
It has to be said that Tian Shuo does have experience in managing civil affairs. What's strange is that he says he knows how to make siege equipment. He also says that the equipment he makes is not very complex. Siege ladders are bound to be. There are almost some practical ladders, cloud ladders, cart (siege vehicle) and Jinglan.
Siege ladder? What else can't be made? Liu Yan knows that he really can't make it. After all, this is not the age of information explosion. Nowadays, people receive too little information. In addition, the wisdom of the people is not open, and there is not enough culture as the basis. It is really different from modern times.
"Villain's ancestor..." Tian Shuo wanted to talk nonsense. After thinking about it, he said honestly: "villain once was ordered to supervise craftsmen, but he paid special attention and learned some."
In fact, Liu Yan also has a concept of similar technology, but what he needs is repeated experiments. He asked Tian Shuo to take the craftsman to try it out, but Tian Shuo proudly said that he needed to be responsible for too much. Just let a person named Wang she be responsible.
Wang she is a very honest person. When she sees Liu Yan, she salutes flustered. Looking at the nervous appearance, she doesn't seem to know where to put her hand.
"Villains have been craftsmen for generations. They once worked as prison for the general of the state of Han (former Zhao)." Wang shejian saw that Liu Yan was kind and calm. Only after a little while could he say something expediently: "if you let villains make equipment, villains can do it."
Liu Yan asked, "can you make a bed crossbow?"
"Yes, yes." Wang she lowered her head and didn't see the happy expression on Liu Yan's face. She said, "it's just... It needs a lot of suitable wood, ox tendons need special exercise, and the creation of some small objects..." she said a lot of things.
Liu Yan has been nodding. Any instrument will not appear simple and needs to be matched with a lot of parts. He also knew that the making of the bed crossbow would be more complex. Otherwise, the whole history of cold weapons in China should be that the bed crossbow was widely used. It would not be seen that the bed crossbow was used in some battlefields in the era of prosperity.
"Don't worry about the bed crossbow." Liu Yan looked at Wang she with the eyes of finding the baby and ordered: "build a batch of ladder and cart first."
Standing aside, Tian Shuo was a little embarrassed and waited for Wang Shea to leave. He ran in small steps and bowed to Liu Yan: "Jun Shang, villain......" he smiled and secretly looked at Liu Yan's face. Seeing that Liu Yan was not angry, he said with embarrassment: "villains don't actually make weapons......"
Even if he hadn't noticed it before, Liu Yan should see it now. But he did not pursue it. Many times, the talents of his subordinates are those of his superiors. Such things exist in any era. In fact, what else can he expect from Tian Shuo? He wanted to make equipment. Tian Shuo found someone. That's enough!
Of course, Liu Yan still needs to beat Tian Shuo, but there is a little girl like Xiang Yi preparing the meal. Liu Yan pinned his hand behind his back, his tone is not heavy or light, and his speech speed is not slow or slow. He really looks like a superior.
What should the superior look like? Dignity, maintain the dignity that others can't touch, and then don't hesitate when it's time to exercise power.
By the way, tuobaxiu was also there. She sat safely in the chair, her hands supporting her chin, and quietly watched Liu Yan under her discipline.
Tuobaxiu was looking forward to coming over and eating the dishes fried by Liu Yan himself, but he didn't expect to see his subordinates. She is now considering whether she should ask. After all, there is a kitchen next to the house. It seems that it doesn't take much time to fry a dish?
Stir fry? No one studied it before the Song Dynasty, so fried vegetables did not exist. In fact, fried dishes should only appear in the two Song dynasties. The current recipes are not too many. The luxury is basically raw fish, which is the legendary popular food.
The relationship between Liu Yan and tuobaxiu has changed. Those Xianbei warriors who have not been killed have regained their status of freedom. Tuobaxiu did not leave half of them. All of them were sent back to daiguo to report several things to tuobashiyiqian.
1、 She tuobaxiu was captured by Liu Yan. She was at Liu Yan's disposal. Liu Yan chose marriage.
2、 Liu Yan will be the Tiefu of the Tuoba family. He is willing to take out some weapons as a dowry. The Tuoba family can't be stingy. Her original tribe should be used as a dowry, and then Tuoba shiyiqian needs to take out something to add to the dowry.
3、 In the future, she will be responsible for trading salt and weapons with Dai country. How should the collective trade be? Tuoba shiyiqian can send someone to negotiate.
Tuobaxiu didn't tell Tuoba shiyiqian that Liu Yan would also have sex with other ethnic groups in Eastern Liaoning. She didn't need to talk so much with Tuoba shiyiqian and wait for the exchange of bride price and dowry. In addition to her identity of being born in Tuoba family, her relationship with Dai country will become a thing of the past.
I'm not kidding. Compared with the Chinese, a Hu woman's marriage completely belongs to her husband's family. Her name should be preceded by her husband's surname. For example, tuobaxiu married Liu Yan, either called Liu Xiu or Liu tuobaxiu. (there is no nonsense. Modern bay or Hong Kong still have the custom of naming husband by his surname.)
"Gone?" Tuobaxiu didn't receive Han family education, but he didn't know what to do as a fiancee: "don't be too kind to those people. When you should smoke, you can take a whip."
Liu Yan was stunned and said slightly displeased, "don't use the Hu people's set on the Han people."
Tuobaxiu frowned: "it was. How could he not be strict with his subordinates..." seeing the displeasure on Liu Yan's face more obvious, he pursed his mouth and didn't say a word again. After waiting for a little while, seeing Liu Yan sitting opposite, she suddenly asked, "when are you going to sleep with me?"
Liu Yan had picked up the water cup from the desktop and put it to his mouth. He drank a little. When he heard tuobaxiu suddenly ask, he hurried to swallow the water in his mouth, but he still couldn't help coughing.
"I'm not at ease if you don't sleep me." Tuobaxiu sniffed his own smell, confused: "there's no mutton smell?"
"..." Liu Yan understood. No wonder Tuoba show seems a little sticky recently. Now it's swaggering to rub rice. Should we move in next?
Sleep, Liu Yan must have to sleep with tuobaxiu. But... Liu Yan decided to wait first. He wasn't waiting for anything. He was really waiting for Tuoba Xiu. The smell of mutton on on his body had disappeared
