The men, women, and children of the Cham tribe present were all shocked, thinking that Yan Yan was going to pull out the man who wanted to assassinate him just now and explode the corpse to show the public, but in fact, they often do this kind of thing. After the Cham captured Lurong City last year, they beheaded all the captured soldiers defending the city and hung their bodies outside the city gate. But the Han people pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality, and have never done this, are these Han people in front of them more fierce than in the past?

After a while, a large number of soldiers came running with hundreds of large baskets. Seeing these baskets, the eyes of the men, women and children of the Cham tribe suddenly lit up.

The basket was not filled with bloody corpses, but white steamed buns. The main thing that the Cham people usually eat is corn, and steamed buns are only occasionally eaten by the leaders of the clan, and they are not used as staple food, but as "leisure food" to taste.

Yan Yan suddenly laughed, and gave the second order: "Anyone who has already laid down his weapons can come and get two steamed buns to fill his stomach first." ”

Trapped in the mountains these days, the Cham people can only feed their hunger on grass roots and tree bark, and they have long been dizzy with hunger, otherwise the warriors of their clan will not be able to resist even a round. Now when he heard Yan Yan's order, he suddenly rushed forward like a hungry tiger. Fortunately, Yan Yan had been prepared, thousands of soldiers lined up into a wall, and the chaotic scene was controlled, and there were many old and weak women and children among these Cham people, otherwise there would definitely be a stampede.

Although the steamed buns made of the best wheat are genuine, they are a drop in the bucket for the hungry Cham people, and they are stuffed into their mouths after three or five strokes, and many people are still looking at the empty baskets with great satisfaction.

Yan Yan raised his hand, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said: "As long as you are truly obedient to the Han, in the future, there will be not only steamed buns to eat, but also fragrant rice, and I guarantee that everyone will not go hungry." However, if anyone dares to rebel again, then don't blame Yan for being polite! When the time comes, Yan will definitely cut your whole clan! ”

The elders said in unison: "Please rest assured, the general will not dare to rebel against the imperial court in the future." General, please see, according to your request, we have selected all the qualified women. ”

Yan Yan turned his head to look, only to find that he didn't know when, the team of the Zhan people had been divided into two pieces, and one piece was full of young women. Among them are women in their twenties and thirties, unmarried girls, and even young girls in their seventies and eights.

Seeing these young girls, Yan Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and said sharply: "Didn't you understand what I meant? These female dolls are also singled out? ”

An elder said with a bitter face: "The general doesn't know, the clan really can't pick out 10,000 people, so I have to pull these little girls out to make up the number." Why don't the generals go over there and pick some more? ”

Yan Yan glanced at the side, although there were also many young women inside, but it could be seen that they all had their own men and children, so he couldn't help waving his hand and said, "That's it, bring back all the children under the age of twelve, and let the rest count as much as you want." ”

There are 10,000 soldiers from the Reclamation Legion who have been singled out to be their daughters-in-law. However, the sight of these dark-skinned, short-built women made many soldiers unhappy.

Most of these young soldiers had not yet started a family, and after a long day's work, they slept in their tents at night, and they inevitably talked about women. However, it doesn't mean that they don't have any special ideas about their future partner. And these Cham women are generally good-looking, but some are already in their thirties. You must know that in that era, it was common for women to get married and have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and in their thirties, the dolls were about the same age as them.

Yan Yan saw that the soldiers of the Agricultural Reclamation Legion were twisting and pinching, and no one was willing to take the initiative to step forward, so he couldn't help but be angry, and said, "Since you don't pick it yourself, then line up and take it back one by one!" ”

The military order is like a mountain, and no one dares to resist this time, so I have to silently pray in my heart that my luck can be better, and I don't want to take an old aunt back. In fact, although these Cham women are short in stature and have darker skin, their facial features are still upright, and they are quite beautiful if you look closely, and their bodies are strong and able to give birth. In particular, these women are all good at work, farming, weaving, and cooking. Although it is a bit of a forced match, for the soldiers of these agricultural reclamation corps, it is not a good help.

The women of their own clan were taken away by the Han people like property in this way, and the elders of the Zhan clan and the people who stayed behind were still a little resentful in their hearts, but they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Yan Yan knew that in order to make these Cham people with backbones in the back of their heads completely surrender, they had to adopt a strategy of both soft and hard. Just now, I killed people and gave them a full meal, all of which were pediatrics. Snatching the young women of their clan is the real stick. In this way, unmarried young men in the Cham tribe will not have to think about getting a daughter-in-law within three years.

The stick has been waved, and now it's time to give a sweet date. Yan Yan suddenly took out a piece of paper and read it aloud: "From today onwards, all the children of the Zhan clan between the ages of six and twelve can enter the Han Academy to study, with free room and board, and a monthly living allowance of five yuan of silver. If you are willing to study, you can go to the Xijuan, Lurong, and Linxiang county schools tomorrow to register. If you don't want to study, the government will not force it. ”

There was a commotion among the Cham people. The reason why they rebelled again and again was because they had to live too hard, and they had to endure the harsh taxes of Han officials. What's worse is that the Han people do not allow them to study at all, so that they will never have a chance to get ahead, and can only do farm work all their lives, and continue to be oppressed by the Han people. Now, this Han general not only allows their children to go to school, but also has such good conditions. Even if you don't want to get ahead, you have to go for the five coins of silver!

Liu Xin, who was far away in Xiangyang, received Yan Yan's military intelligence report, couldn't help laughing, and said, "This Yan Yan is too capable of." Liu organized the agricultural reclamation corps and let them start a family in the local area, which also required them to be happy with the local girl. ”

He smiled and said: "At an extraordinary time, doing extraordinary things, General Yan has no choice but to do it." However, in this way, the Cham people are not only unable to rebel in the short term, but also have no hope of recovering for ten years and eight years. ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Well, I just think that this approach is a bit inappropriate, and I don't mean to blame Yan Yan." It's just that those moral guards have to add another charge to Liu. ”

"My lord, you don't even bother to explain the crime of cannibalism to them, do you still care about such a crime that is not trivial or serious?" Frustrated Professor took out a secret letter from his sleeve, presented it to Liu Xin with both hands, and said, "Lord, please see, this is the crime they have recently fabricated for the lord, is this even more ridiculous?" ”

Liu Xin took the secret letter, didn't even look at it, put it on the table casually, and said, "Oh, who are they?" And what accusations have you fabricated against me? ”

Frustrated and said, "It's not Youheng's group yet. They said that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north fought fiercely for more than half a year, killing and wounding countless people every day, but the lord sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, ignoring it, and letting the lives be ruined, which is really a great crime. ”

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. The real culprits that caused the devastation of life were Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they didn't blame Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but they put the blame on my head, it's really funny, and I'm embarrassed to brag about what is full of talent. Liu has always advocated freedom of speech, as long as they don't go too far, let them go and ignore them. Liu Xin waved his hand lightly and said, "By the way, how has the war in the north changed recently?" ”

Fu Zhu thought for a while and said, "Back to the lord, in the past six months, Liyang City has changed hands several times, which shows that the competition between the Yuan and Cao families is extremely fierce. But the difference in strength between the two is incomparable, and it may be too early to say that they are superior. It's just that more and more refugees have recently entered Sili, Xuzhou, Jingzhou and other places, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the local government is under great pressure. ”

Liu Xin nodded and said, "This is also expected. The young and strong men were forcibly dragged by them to serve as soldiers, and the remaining old and weak women and children had difficulty supporting themselves, and they had to pay food and taxes. ”

Fu Zhu frowned and said, "I'm afraid that if this situation continues, the border counties will be overwhelmed." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand again and said, "Well, your worries are not unreasonable. Well, let them take care of the refugees as much as possible, and let the medical school send some people to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic. ”

Frustrated and replied: "My subordinates will do it." ”

Fireworks in March, grass grows warblers fly, and the land of China is full of life. Liu Xin returned from a trip with his wife, concubines, and children, and suddenly saw several carriages parked outside the gate of the state governor's mansion. Although these carriages have also been carefully decorated, they are just so ordinary in the bustling city of Xiangyang.

Seeing Liu Xin, who was riding a white horse and wearing a white robe, a middle-aged scribe suddenly jumped out of the carriage in front of him, walked over quickly, and said, "Grass people Qiao Xuan see your lord." ”

Liu Xin looked at it, and sure enough, it was Qiao Xuan, a famous man from Lujiang County, and he was a little surprised. Qiao Xuan is upright and not afraid of the powerful, when he was in Lujiang City, Liu Xin also took a lot of trouble to dispel Qiao Xuan's doubts. To say that Qiao Xuan would take the initiative to come to Xiangyang to pay a visit, even Liu Xin himself didn't believe it.

But Qiao Xuan really stood in front of him, Liu Xin was only slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It turned out to be Qiao Yuanwai, why did you have time to come to Xiangyang today?" ”
