Thank you Huaxia ~ Yellow Emperor for the golden reward, thank you!

Rumble!
The cannon outside Changsha City rumbled, and the rocks on the mountain rolled, announcing the asphalt road from Changsha to Kunming, and this huge project officially kicked off.
The imperial court brought in 30,000 troops to guard 40,000 Jurchen captives and 50,000 Luzon natives.
There are also a lot of incentive mechanisms, such as people who are sudden at work will be able to get the opportunity to be promoted, from ordinary slaves to squad leaders, squadron leaders, and captains, and finally even have the opportunity to get rid of the fate of slaves and enjoy the treatment of the people of Great Qin.
All the projects are also contracted, with one squadron for every 100 people, and ten squads under its jurisdiction, which contract a section of the road together.
If the project progress is fast, you can get various rewards.
If you fail to complete the task, there will be a corresponding punishment.
The system of joint sitting is also implemented, one person escapes, and a team is beheaded. One squad escapes, and the entire squadron is cut down, leaving them to keep each other in check. In addition, one or two thousand watches were selected from among the natives, and a servant army was formed, and they were put in charge of supervising the work nearby.
In a flat area, dig drainage ditches on both sides, pave seven inches of sand and gravel, tamp it, and then pave it with asphalt and roll it flat.
In the case of a section facing a ravine, the edge needs to be built with stones.
The whole project will require a large amount of stone, and a large number of quarries will be opened along the way, both official and private.
If a small river can build a stone bridge, a stone bridge will be built. When encountering a big river and not being able to build a stone bridge, the piers are cast on both banks with cement steel bars to build a large rope bridge to ensure that the carriage can still pass.
The natural asphalt mined from Guangyuan in Sichuan Province enters the Yangtze River through the Jialing River, then into Dongting Lake, and then into the Xiangjiang River all the way to Changsha.
In short, almost all the processes that can be contracted are contracted as much as possible. First, so that the domestic people can make money from it, and second, to reduce the burden on the imperial court.
As soon as this huge project began, it naturally caused a lot of shock to the various toasts in the southwest, and all kinds of heated discussions arose, and many discerning people saw that once this asphalt road was completed, it would threaten the foundation of their self-government.
Because the fundamental reason why the successive dynasties allowed the various Tusi in the southwest to be autonomous was that the roads were not smooth and difficult to control. Once the road is open. Not only have they lost their natural barriers, but a large number of people have come and gone, and they will certainly bring the people of the southwest and the people of the Central Plains closer and more integrated. They have lost the basis of self-government.
The Great Qin Imperial Court naturally took into account these psychological reactions of the Southwest Tusi and made corresponding arrangements for this.
First, Qin Mu gave the various big toasts officials and knights to appease them.
Second, 20,000 troops of Ai Nengqi were stationed in Hengyang, Guilin, and Nanning. Another 6,210,000 soldiers and horses were transferred as mobile combat troops to garrison the front line in Guiyang. It will form a powerful deterrent force militarily.
Third, the auxiliary officers were dispatched to give new crops such as corn and sweet potatoes free of charge, and vigorously promoted them in various toasts. As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. This is not unreasonable. Guan Zhong also said: Cangqiao actually knows etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace. Let the people in the southwest have enough to eat first, so that there will be fewer people willing to rebel.
Fourth, as in the seven northern provinces. In the name of the royal family, Mongolian schools were set up in various Tuzhou prefectures, allowing school-age children to enter schools free of charge, teaching Confucian classics, mathematics, geography, history, and so on.
Fifth. In addition to the north and south lists, a southwest list was added to the imperial examination. This list is designed for ethnic minority readers in the southwest, and there is a separate exam. In this way, we will gather the people of all ethnic groups in the southwest.
Whether it is to build roads or to change the land in the southwest, Qin Mu is ready to persevere in his heart, and does not expect to be able to smooth it all out in one or two years, but in any case, in his lifetime, he will never allow this kind of substantive separation in the southwest to continue.

Si'en Mansion is the strongest of the four Tufu in Guangxi, the government was originally in Zhaishan City (Pingguo County), Ming orthodoxy four years in October, with the local official Cen Ying repeatedly has the side merit to be named the Si'en Tu Governor, hereditary.
In the seventh year of orthodoxy, Cen Ying, the prefect of the Tufu, moved the government to Qiaoli (Qiaoli Township, Mashan County).
During the Jiajing period, after Wang Yangming, the master of Xinxue, recruited Lu Su, Wang Shouhe and suppressed the rebellion in Bazhai, he personally went to Qiaoli, thinking that the government was governed in the surrounding mountains, and the surrounding peaks were especially like Ge, spears, swords, halberds, thorns, miasma, the yin bank was chaotic, Jiahe was difficult to grow, the fox squirrels were chaotic, and the epidemic was easy to arise, in order to protect the law and order of the people, in the seventh year of Jiajing, the government was moved to Wuyuan (Wuming County) Zhige Aratian Station, which was anointed with the four wild fields 6o miles away from Qiaoli, and has been until now.
Wang Yangming forcibly moved to Si'en Prefecture in order to protect the law and order of the people, and the meaning of "protection" is particularly important.
But on the other hand, after Si'en Mansion moved to the four wilderness and vast fields, the grain production was bumper and the population increased, so the strength of Si'en Mansion continued to increase, and finally became one of the various Tusi in Guangxi.
As the northern border troubles became more and more severe in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Ming court's control over the southwest became weaker and weaker, and it was no longer able to control these toasts.
They continued to send troops to plunder the four directions, annex the weak, and extort tyrannical land against the people under their rule.
In the city of Si'en Mansion, the castle of Cen Yin, the hereditary prefect of the earth, can be described as full of gold and jade, if you don't get there in person, it is difficult for you to imagine that in such a remote place, there is such a luxurious mansion, and this life is no worse than that of the emperor.
When Gu Xiancheng, who was alias Gu Nanfeng, stepped into Cen Yin's mansion, he was deeply shocked, he had seen some of the world, but he was still shocked like this, which shows how extravagant Cen Yin's mansion is.
Gu Xiancheng secretly swallowed his saliva, bowed forward and said, "The villain is really an eye-opener, Lord Cen!" ”
"Why did Gu Zhuangshi sigh!" Cen Yin asked proudly, he is Chinese New Year's Eve six years old today, wearing the prefect uniform of Daqin, he is also full of officialdom, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, that kind of flying and domineering expression has been cultivated since childhood, and he can't hide it.
Gu Xiancheng said humbly: "The villain heard that the adults like rare treasures, so he deliberately found a few things, and wanted to offer them to the adults, so that he could beg for a bowl of rice to eat under the hands of the adults, but after looking at the collection in the adult's house, the villain was shameless, and the few crude things in his hand really couldn't be handled, disturbing the adult, the villain said goodbye!" ”
Gu Xiancheng looked unusually crisp, and was about to retreat after speaking.
Cen Yin loves money like his life, and since Gu Xiancheng said that there are rare treasures to offer, how could he let people go away like this.
"Gu Zhuangshi stays, Gu Zhuangshi is an extraordinary person at a glance, this official is lacking talents like Gu Zhuangshi, this official is thirsty for talents, how can Gu Zhuangshi say and leave? Come to someone, watch the seat, serve tea. ”
Cen Yin immediately became affectionate, Gu Xiancheng didn't really want to leave, and said with a grateful look: "Gu Nanfeng and a group of brothers have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and they have achieved nothing.
I heard that the adults are generous and bold, and they are called the people of the world, so that they want to try their luck, and when I see them today, the world is honest and do not deceive me, and the adults are really righteous and thin, and their minds are like the sea. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say" Cen Yin snorted, but his eyes unconsciously aimed at Gu Xiancheng's bulging bag.
After the Han people who committed crimes, or Jiangyang thieves who were chased by the government and had nowhere to hide, they often chose to go incognito and defect to these toasts in the southwest.
Cen Yin has seen a lot of people like Gu Xiancheng, and there are more than a dozen such people under him.
These people tend to be more talented, and they are often more faithful because they are inevitably required to offer some treasure in order to keep them, and because they have nowhere else to live.
Among the various toasts in the southwest, it has long been common to take in such people.
According to the usual practice, Gu Xiancheng untied his burden after showing his loyalty, and slowly opened it, and for a while, the jewels reflected all over the room, and Cen Yin's eyes lit up, and he secretly swallowed his saliva.
"This is all the villain's accumulation over the years, and it's not worth a few dollars, so it's really not respectful. The adults can afford the villain, and the villain is grateful, so he gives everything to the adult, just hoping that the adult can enjoy the food in the future. ”
Gu Xiancheng has really collected a lot of treasures over the years, Cen Yin looked at his eyebrows and smiled, and immediately said: "Since Gu Zhuangshi is sincere, then the official will laugh and accept it, Gu Zhuangshi can rest assured, in my Si'en Mansion in the future, Gu Zhuangshi will naturally have a place for Gu Zhuangshi." ”
Cen Yin couldn't wait for his subordinates to put away the treasure, but he didn't know that what he had taken in was not an ordinary Jiangyang thief. He wouldn't have thought of what kind of bloody storm Gu Xiancheng was bringing.
