When the leaders of the Qiang people heard Liu Chan's words, their faces changed.

They are a nomadic tribe, although they are weak, but they are free, living in pursuit of water and grass, drinking wine and eating meat on weekdays, and they are extremely happy and free.

Although the Han Dynasty established the official position of Qiang Lieutenant against the Qiang people, it was used to deal with them and prevent them from rebelling, and it did not control them.

Even in times of peace, they can only solve the contradictions between the various Qiang tribes, and cannot manage the internal affairs of their tribes.

It can be incorporated into the Han nationality and become the people of the Han Dynasty, its nature is different, the most fundamental change is that the Qiang people are the leaders, and the nobles will lose their existing rights and interests.

Originally, they were the masters of the tribe, just like the emperor of the soil, but after becoming the people of the Han Dynasty, they were just like the people of the tribe, they were all Han people.

And they also have to be bound by the laws of the Han Dynasty and the official uniform, and for them, they lose their freedom.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, now Liu Chan deprived them of their interests as soon as he opened his mouth, how could they be willing.

"Your Majesty, we are used to grazing for a living, and we don't know how to ......farm at all."

"If you don't know how to farm, I will send someone to help you, and if you become a big Han people, I will treat you equally." Liu Chan's voice was resolute.

The Qiang people were the first frontier trouble in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and between the Han and Qiang from the beginning of the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty to 189 AD, hundreds of battles were fought between large and small, basically for many years.

At this time, if you don't take advantage of this opportunity, while Ma Chao is not old, and completely solve the problem of the Qiang people, you will not have this opportunity in the future. If you let them go back, they will repeat the same mistakes in the future.

A leader gritted his teeth and fell to the ground: "Our tribe is willing to pay tribute to 800 good horses, 2,000 cattle and sheep, please be gracious." ”

When a leader next to him heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, my tribe is willing to pay tribute to 1,000 good horses and 3,000 cattle and sheep, please be gracious." ”

"Our tribe is willing to ......"

"Our ministry is willing to ......"

For a while, all the leaders spoke one after another, willing to exchange livestock for freedom, but after a while, the number of livestock they said, the number of war horses reached 50,000, and the number of cattle, sheep and livestock reached more than 100,000.

His Royal Highness and all the Han generals are very excited.

In their opinion, even if these Qiang people were accepted as Han people, they would have to solve many miscellaneous things, and they might still rebel.

For now, they are willing to trade livestock for freedom, and it is better to agree to expand their strength.

Liu Chan waved his hand: "Okay, needless to say, even if you just give me the livestock of the entire tribe, I will not agree, I have said, you only have two paths, the first is what I said just now, change to herding to farming, and belong to Han, and the second is death!" ”

Seeing that Liu Chan was so resolute, the leaders fell silent one after another.

Liu Chan looked at everyone, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "I am helpless to do this, the Han and Qiang have been fighting for hundreds of years, and if you want to completely maintain peace and stability between the two places, you can only do this."

I am not only for the Han, but also for you, you are born for the water and grass, when the water and grass are abundant, the tribe can still support it, and when the water and grass wither in winter, and the cattle and sheep freeze to death, they will not be able to live, so they can only rob the people of my Han Dynasty.

If you can change from herding to farming and become my Han people, you don't have to worry about not being able to live in winter, and my Han people won't worry about being plundered by you, which is the best of both worlds. ”

When the leaders heard this, they couldn't help but sneer in their hearts, Liangzhou is a bitter cold place, and the people of the Han Dynasty make a living from farming, and it seems that they are even more sad than us in winter......

Liu Chan naturally knew what these leaders thought, and said with a smile: "Liangzhou is a bitter cold land, but I have corn and sweet potatoes in Yizhou, I think you have also heard of it, its yield is much higher than that of wheat, and there are corn and sweet potatoes, which can solve the problem of food shortage in Liangzhou." ”

Liu Chan said and glanced at Ma Chao.

Ma Chao suddenly understood, and scolded: "You wait for the Qiang people to be in trouble for my Han for a long time, and now Your Majesty has abandoned the previous suspicions, came up with a solution, and is willing to include you in the Han nationality, and from now on there will be no more wars in the Yongliang land, and you still don't agree?" When my horse super long gun is not good to call? What do you think, Chief? ”

Ma Chao said, looking at a Qiang leader who was nearly half a hundred years old.

This leader of the Qiang tribe used to have a very good relationship with Ma Chao, and he looked forward to Ma Chao and Ma Chao, and after listening to Ma Chao's words, the leader of the Qiang tribe hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the people of the tribe to be included in the Han nationality and become the common people of the Han Dynasty." ”

"Good!" Hearing this, Liu Chan patted the table and said, "Very good, I plan to build a city on the grassland, set up a pasture, and send someone to take care of it."

Chief, your tribe only needs to send half of the people into Liangzhou to practice. The rest of the people still live on the grasslands, under your leadership, and manage the pastures for me, but they are subject to the constraints of the city lord, and the people of the tribe are still included in the Han nationality. ”

After listening to Liu Chan's words, the leader of the Tunsi was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

This is really another village.

In a tribe, there are also nobles and commoners, the nobles have more cattle and sheep, and the commoners have fewer cattle and sheep, so the commoners can go to the interior of Liangzhou to be included in the Han nationality for farming, and these nobles can also live in the grassland.

Although there are more constraints, the size of managing a ranch is also an official. It's better than being killed and going to Liangzhou to farm, right?

As for those ordinary herdsmen, life on the grassland is actually not satisfactory, as long as they are fooled that it is better to go to farming, they will not refuse.

One of the leaders arched his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know ...... this ranch."

Liu Chan said lightly: "I plan to build a city on the grassland, a city is in charge of the grassland within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the tribes within the range are managed by the city.

The tribe is responsible for grazing for the state, cultivating war horses, cattle and sheep, and each tribe does not need all the people to farm, but can keep some of the livestock for grazing, but only part of its livestock can be retained, and the rest must be owned by the state.

And you, the leaders, are the owners of the pastures, and everything is as usual except for the observance of the laws of the Han Dynasty and the control of the city. Not only that, but you can also enjoy some preferential treatment from the imperial court, such as reducing some taxes, and the ranch owner who contributes more livestock will get a knighthood, which is the biggest concession I can make, if you don't agree, I will have to kill to stop the war! ”

After hearing the words "stop the war by killing", one of the leaders hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am willing!" ”

"I do, too!"

"I do, too!"

For a while, all the leaders agreed to come down, although the rights were almost exploited, but at this moment, people under the roof had to bow their heads.
