Chapter 236

"Please don't worry about your left chariot. You will certainly guard the land of Liangzhou for the imperial court." Liu Ye said firmly.

Huang Fu Song was slightly silent, then nodded: "well, since you insist on this, this will release these Qiang people."

Liu Ye was overjoyed and said, "thank you for your left riding."

After Liu Ye released more than 20000 Qiang and Hu soldiers, it had a positive effect in Liangzhou. Many Qiang people thought that their father and brother would not come back, but Liu Ye let them back.

The effect is also obvious. Tens of thousands of Qiang people are grateful to Liu Ye and persuade the soldiers who once rioted from Han Sui to keep their own affairs.

"Mother, the child is back."

"God bless you, my child, don't make trouble at will, you know?"

"Mother, I dare not."

Such dialogues have been staged in many Qiang families, and after discussion with Fu Xie, Liu Ye struck while the iron was hot and issued the "order of internal migration".

The Qiang people, who moved to agriculture, could inherit 20 mu of the reclaimed wasteland for generations. The taxes would be reduced by half within three years, and those who settled in the prefecture for more than three years would be treated the same as the Han people.

Foreign invasion of the Han Dynasty is common, but in fact not all ethnic groups are plunderers. There are peace loving people among Qiang people. After hearing Liu Ye's order, many Qiang people even moved their families to Liangzhou counties. The population of Liangzhou, which was reduced by the war, began to rise slowly.

However, a new problem quickly broke out in Liangzhou, that is, many Han officials had a mean attitude towards the Qiang people, even extortion, which led to many Qiang people's complaints, and this kind of problem is difficult to solve.

"From a certain point of view, it is better to treat Qiang with Qiang." Liu Ye said slowly.

Fu Xie frowned: "to cure Qiang with Qiang?"

"Not bad." Liu Ye nodded, "the Qiang people are divided into settlements, and the local officials are responsible for collecting food and fodder. However, in order to prevent the Qiang people from dying out, the Qiang people can live in one village at most, and they should move to the inland of Liangzhou as far as possible."

In fact, this is the rudiment of regional ethnic autonomy in later generations. However, Liu Ye did not directly delineate the autonomous regions. Instead, he followed the example of autonomous prefectures and autonomous villages. Otherwise, there would be too many Qiang people living together and a new rebellion would break out.

Fu Xie immediately drafted laws and decrees according to Liu Ye's instructions, and arranged the Qiang people from the interior to the counties in an orderly manner. The main difference between the Qiang people and the Han people lies in the mode of production. Therefore, whenever the climate is cold, the nomads will go south to plunder the Central Plains Dynasty.

Instead of spending a lot of manpower and material resources to eliminate the nomadic people in the northern expedition, why not simply transform the nomadic people fundamentally and turn the Qiang people and the Huns into a member of the Han nationality?

But even so, Liu Ye did not relax his armaments. After the battle with Liangzhou, Han Sui, his officers and soldiers lost more than ten thousand people. However, this group of newly recruited soldiers turned into a practical combat force.

In the next few months, tens of thousands of troops were supplied by the meiyang camp. Therefore, Liangzhou's grain and forage reserves were quite abundant. The total number of Liangzhou's troops was more than 37000, and the total population of Liangzhou was just over 500000. Liu Ye thought that his military strength was basically enough. In fact, Liu Ye even wanted to send some soldiers back to the field In terms of the productivity of the Han Dynasty, the ratio of military to civilian was more than 20 to 1.

After the collapse of the Shu Han Dynasty, the state of Wei made a thorough investigation of its population. It was found that 940000 people raised 102000 troops and horses, which was more than 10:1. However, Zhuge Liang failed to return to the Northern Expedition because of the constraints of grain and grass, so he had no choice but to withdraw from the army. He even went to Hanzhong to organize food production.

With more troops, the consumption of grain and grass will naturally increase. If you want to reduce the consumption of grain, you have to reduce the number of troops. However, if you reduce the number of troops, you can't win the northern expedition. Therefore, Zhuge Liang's northern expedition is naturally difficult to succeed. Even if he did his best, he could not make up for the disaster of militarism.

Liu Ye, who was deeply convinced of this, of course had to be considerate of the people's power, and wrote to the imperial court as a deputy governor.

"Minister Liu Ye tells us: Liangzhou has been in war for a long time. Some of his officers and men have been fighting thousands of miles. After dozens of battles, the officers and men under his command are tired, and the people are crying out I hereby ask your majesty to reduce and remit taxes in order to stabilize the hearts of Liangzhou scholars... "

After seeing Liu Ye's performance, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was also very happy. He immediately ordered to reduce taxes in Liangzhou for one year and reduce taxes by half within three years. However, it is only Liangzhou that the Lingdi can be so generous, because the total population of Liangzhou is only several hundred thousand. If Liu Ye is replaced by Yanzhou, Yuzhou or Jizhou, it is estimated that emperor Lingdi of Han Dynasty would be distressed if he only exempted taxes for half a year. After all, the population of Runan County alone is 2 million, which is equal to four Liangzhou.

These Qiang people are at most a group of accomplices, so Liu Ye releases the prisoners. However, it is very clear about the treatment of Han Sui's family.

On the seventh day of October, Liu Ye ordered that 76 Members of Han Sui's family members be arrested and killed.

Han Sui's children of several years old, as well as the old men and women over 50 years old, are said to be less guilty than their families. However, all dynasties have been intolerant of the big crime of rebellion, so Liu Ye is unable to change this result.However, due to the tax exemption power he won, the counties of Liangzhou entered a period of prosperous development. Liu Ye did his duty as an official, persuading Nongsang and building academies.

Since the victory of the Liangzhou rebellion, there was no need for the Han Army stationed in meiyang camp to exist. Therefore, the Ling emperor issued an imperial edict to order Zhang Wen, a general of chariots and horses, to return to the imperial court.

Luoyang.

"So Gao, if you have anything to say." Lingdi sat on the Hu bed leisurely and contentedly. The Hu people's things were quite comfortable to sit on, which was much easier than kneeling down.

He Jin came forward and said, "Your Majesty, relying on your Majesty's divine power and the protection of previous emperors, our Han Army First leveled off the Yellow turban rebellion, and then decided to Liangzhou. This is a great victory, which should be celebrated."

Ling Di frowned: "how should we celebrate?"

He Jin bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty can review the three armies in Luoyang, ride a horse and patrol in person, and show your Majesty's majesty to the world. I think later historians will record your Majesty's majesty."

Both the eastern and Western Han Dynasties were founded by martial arts. Emperor Guangwu established the Western Han Dynasty by conquering Xiang Yu and conquering Chu and Han. Emperor Guangwu took Hebei as the foundation and set Luoyang as the capital. Although the Ling emperor was weak, he was very interested in reviewing the three armies.

"Well, I'll leave it to the general's office. By the way, I'll call back Liu Ye and Huang Fusong."
