Chapter 299: It's done
The leaders are tempted, and only mediocre people want to live their lives plainly. They are ambitious, ambitious, and in the prime of life, with a great desire for power and glory.
"Everyone, think about it, what a grand feat it would be if the East and West Qiang, which had been divided for hundreds of years, were completely unified in your hands."
Lu Bu raised his arms and struck while the iron was hot, "At that time, General Ben will recommend all your merits to the imperial court, and if you want to come to the marquis to pay respects, it is just around the corner." β
The leaders present were encouraged by Lu Bu's words, and their blood was boiling, and they were eager to rush to the battlefield immediately, behead the enemy and make meritorious contributions, so as to be crowned as a general.
They didn't think that if Lu Bu really had such ability, how could he only be a border general?
But if you don't have that ability now, it doesn't mean you won't have it in the future.
The leaders moved their minds, and Lu Bu was a little happy in his heart, and made the last killer move: "I can provide you with war horses and weapons, as for the women, children and old people in your clan, if you can trust them, you can move to Bingzhou." The general hereby guarantees that they will be treated in the same way as the local Han people, and that they will build houses and allocate land. β
"Is this true?"
The leader of a certain clan in the lower right couldn't help but ask out loud, he had moved to Beidi County for many years, and even if the people in the clan had integrated into the living customs of the Han people, when others learned that they were Qiang, they would still look down on them.
This kind of ethnic discrimination makes every Qiang person very uncomfortable.
"If he tells half a lie, he will die with ten thousand arrows piercing his heart."
Lu Bu made a poisonous oath on the spot, he really wanted to move these Qiang people to Bingzhou.
Bingzhou has a vast territory, several times the land of Qing, Yan, Hebei and Xu, but the population is less than half of it, why?
Because of poverty.
The more barren it is, the less people come, and last year's Yellow Turban Rebellion was vigorous. There are countless people who have fled and displaced, most of them have taken refuge in Sili, Yan, Xu, Yang and other places, have you ever heard that someone is going to flee to Bingzhou?
If a region wants to develop, it can never be separated from the population, and the ordinary people at the bottom are the basic guarantee of the labor force.
If there is no population, even if there are more outstanding people to serve, it will be equally difficult to plan.
This is the same as 'it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice'.
Lu Bu once had a long talk with Xice Bingzhu in Wuyuan, and during that time, Xice made a basic plan for the future of Wuyuan County and even the entire state.
There are three main reasons why it is difficult to develop a state: a small population, a cold climate, and low production.
As long as the reform and expansion of the system are carried out in response to these three points, and the state is slowly developed, it may not be impossible.
In the past, because of the war with the Xianbei people, the state was unstable, and the land was destroyed and the population was extremely bad. There are very few people who want to settle here on their own initiative, there is only one group of people who do not serve anyone, but also serve everyone.
The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.
The mind of a businessman is probably no more than these sixteen words.
By next year, Lu Bu will be ready to exchange commercial markets with the Western Regions and Zhuhu. The establishment of a market in Wuyuan County is the same as in Chang'an City.
As long as the five originals can be developed, any method can be tried.
Xi Ce made the overall plan, and was only responsible for moving his mouth. Cumbersome matters such as the implementation of supervision naturally have to be the turn of Yan Xin, the county warden.
"You can't do it when I'm dead!"
Within the Qiang tribe, more than half of the leaders were ready to respond to LΓΌ Bu and raise troops to attack Xiqiang. The Great Elder slammed the table and angrily reprimanded the Qiang leaders: "As long as I live in this world for one day, you will never be allowed to cause another war!" β
What kind of calculation Lu Bu made, the old man knew better than anyone else in his heart.
"Great Elder, if you don't want to soar, please don't stop us." One of the leaders stood up and took his position.
With this person's statement, many people spoke out on the spot.
The Great Elder was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and all of these melon men under the tent thought they were smart, but they didn't know at all, and they were all played with and applauded by this surnamed Lu.
Even if he wins the victory in the future, I don't know how many sons and daughters of the clan will die for it.
"Whoever dares to raise this head today is to be the enemy of me first!" The Great Elder did not hesitate to let go of his cruel words, but also to restrain everyone.
Among the various ethnic groups in Dongqiang, it is the Xianlingqiang with the largest population and the strongest strength.
However, the leaders of the Qiang people were so hot at this moment that they didn't buy it at all: "Great Elder, Xiqiang doesn't dare to fight, so he will intimidate us here?" β
"I propose to abolish the Great Elder and elect a new leader to lead the command." Someone shouted.
The Great Elder shouted angrily, this clearly meant that he wanted to rebel, "Come on, take him and Lu Bu down with me!" β
Lu Bu glanced left and right, but no one made a move, and even the leader of Xianlingqiang, the most trusted leader of the Great Elder, persuaded him: "Uncle, General Lu is right, this kind of aggrieved life controlled by others, we have lived for decades, and it is time to turn over and suppress the Xiqiang people." β
The Great Elder sighed heavily in his heart, and his whole person seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and he sat there, unable to lift half of his spirit.
It's that he can't hold the knife anymore.
The rebellion has left, and the general trend has gone.
A new leader was quickly elected, the nephew of the Great Elder, and the current leader of Xian Lingqiang, Wu Yi (yi) Hun Yue.
After all, Xian Lingqiang's strength is there.
The Dongqiang people agreed to send troops, and the purpose of Lu Bu's trip could be regarded as a successful conclusion.
He has lived and died several times in Liangzhou, since someone wants to take advantage of the fisherman, then I will stir up the water in Liangzhou, which will be even more turbid.
"I wonder what kind of return General Lu wants?" The new big leader Wu Yi Hun asked that since Lu Bu was willing to give them war horses and weapons, in his opinion, there must be some plan.
However, Lu Bu's original purpose of coming here was just to disrupt the situation. However, it was an unexpected harvest to be able to move the Dongqiang people to Bingzhou.
Now that he asked, if he didn't say anything, Wu Yi Hun Yue would definitely suspect that he had ulterior motives.
"Since the big chief asked, the general also opened the skylight and said something. On the way to Liangzhou, some people repeatedly targeted me and repeatedly set up a situation to take my life. If the Great Leader finds out, please help me punish me a little. Lu Bu made a temporary condition.
Wuyi Hun Yue heard it so simple, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Little meaning, now General Lu is a distinguished guest of our clan." If someone dares to attack you, he is the enemy of our entire Dongqiang, and he will be kept so that he can't eat and walks around. β
Subsequently, Wuyi Hun asked someone to serve wine, drank with Lu Bu, and made an oath in front of all the tribal leaders.
I rested in Zuogu for a night, and when I woke up, the sun had not yet risen, and it was still early in the morning.
Lu Bu, who got up early, said a simple goodbye to Wuyi Hun and left here.
On the way back, there were two more boys behind him, which Chen Wei found Ma Teng last night and begged for it.
One is called Ma Mengqi and the other is Pang Lingming.
