Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 266 Entrust
In the seventh year of Jianxing, in November, Wudan Mountain.

At the foot of Wudan North Mountain, the avenue leading directly to the school palace on the hillside is very flat. Market stalls are placed on both sides of the road, vendors are yelling hard, and scholars are constantly coming and going on the road.

Looking at the hustle and bustle around, Liu Chan said, "I didn't expect that the market here would have such a scene. It's not the desolation of the past."

After Yak Qiang settled down, there were no major affairs in the court. Liu Chan was bored, so he went out of the palace half-hidden to visit Wudan Academy in private to see how the academy has developed in recent years.

Liu Chan and his entourage consisted of more than ten people, accompanied by Qiao Zhou, Mr. Xuegong, Zhuge Qiao, the captain-in-law, and Guo Youzhi, the attendant.

Li Gui held the long sword in his hand, watched the noisy surroundings vigilantly, and guarded His Majesty.

Qiao Zhou took over the conversation and said: "In recent years, the number of students enrolled in the school has increased, and the surrounding market vendors have heard the news and set up stalls on both sides of the road."

Liu Chan pointed to the hillside avenue, motioned to move forward, and said jokingly: "Scholars are human beings and not immortals. It is also a good thing for them to study and study scriptures if they get a little bit of smoke and fire. Otherwise, how can they know the hardships of the people from above."

Qiao Zhou was a step behind, and said with a feeling: "Your Majesty's words are very true. Scholars come from a noble family with a big surname. They don't know the sufferings of the people, so it is difficult to empathize with the people."

Qiao Zhou's father died early when he was young, and he was brought up by his mother. Unlike Jiang Wei, Qiao Zhou's family was really poor.Fortunately, his father was a man of culture and left behind some books, otherwise Qiao Zhou might really face the loess and his back to the sky now.

Looking at the majestic arch in front of him, Liu Chan said with emotion: "That's why it's so rare for a big man to have Lu Inspector (Lv Yi)."

After finishing speaking, Liu Chan pointed to the word Wudan Xuegong on the arch, and said to Zhuge Qiao, "This word was first mentioned by the prime minister himself."

Since Zhuge Qiao entered Shu, he has never been to Wudan Academy, and he looks around very curiously, looking at novel things.

On the way, the students didn't know Liu Chan and the others, but they recognized Qiao Zhou, they gave way one after another, saluted and said, "Students have seen Mr. Qiao."

Qiao Zhou was not arrogant, but returned the gift very friendly, saying: "Good friends."

The 29-year-old Qiao Zhou is currently a well-known gentleman in the Wudan Academy.

After the seniors greeted each other, they all rushed in one direction.

"Yunnan, why?" Liu Chan asked curiously.

Qiao Zhou glanced in the direction and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is someone who wants to open a forum and invite people to discuss it."

Hearing this, Liu Chan was a little moved, and said to everyone: "I'll go and have a look later, to see the demeanor of my big man student."

Liu Chan and others flocked to the forum with the flow of people, and because of Qiao Zhou's status as Mr. Liu Chan and others got better viewing seats.

On the forum, two young students sat opposite each other with serious expressions.

A gentleman sat kneeling in the center, and seeing that the time had come, he shouted in a deep voice, "Today's topic: Benevolence and trust."

A student with a strong body and a square face, he stood up and bowed to the surroundings, and said: "I am the heir of the king, Wang Chengzong, who is a person in the middle of the capital. I think that I can rule the barbarians with kindness and trust."

The thin, gentle and refined student immediately got up to salute, and cupped his hands and said: "I'm Xue Qi, Xue Yifu, people from Peiguo in Yuzhou. Some people think that the barbarians can be ruled only by combining civil and martial arts."

Qiao Zhou muttered next to Liu Chan: "Xue Qi is the son of Xue Yong, the new prefect of Hanjia. The heir of Wang, who came from Qianwei's surname, is honest and loyal, and his family has a lot of property."

Xue Yong's father, Xue Lan, was the driver of Yanzhou. After his father died in battle, Xue Yong followed Lao Liu in the east and west in his early years. He can also be said to be an old minister, and he can be trusted and used.

Liu Chan nodded, and asked in a low voice, "Who does Yun Nan think can win?"

Qiao Zhou shook his head and said: "I don't know, Your Majesty can take a look patiently."

Xue Qi straightened his back, took the lead in attacking, and said: "Is it okay to hear that the king came from someone who is arrogant?"

"Exactly!" Wang Si replied.

Xue Qi smiled softly, and said: "Your Majesty is from Qianwei County, so why don't you know Qianwei's origin. Emperor Wu ordered Tang Menghou to bribe King Yelang and other barbarians, and the barbarians rewarded him with Qianwei County. If you bribe generously, you will have Qianwei County. What does the king say about being kind and trustworthy?"

A smile appeared on Wang Si's loyal face, and he said: "This is a kindness, what is the benefit. The barbarians were poor, and Tang Meng Yili kindly treated them, and the barbarians had nothing to repay, so they offered their soil to Emperor Wu."

Liu Chan nodded secretly, Wang Si's concept was well changed.

After a pause, Wang Si asked back: "I don't know how Mr. Xue used both civil and military affairs to govern barbarians?"

Xue Qi cupped his hands, and raised his voice and said: "The barbarians are not peaceful, use force to suppress them; the barbarians are stable, use culture to educate them. I don't know how the king governs them with kindness and faith?"

Wang Si did not answer in a hurry, but thought for a while, and said: "How can the barbarians be governed if they are not leveled? This is leveling, not governance. A certain person needs to be leveled before he can govern the barbarians with kindness and trust."

Xue Qi sneered slightly, and said: "Your words are out of the way. I rule Nanzhong with great Han, and all the eunuchs control it with civil and martial arts. You should know that without my great Han teaching, the counties in Nanzhong will be full of barbarians."

Wang Si shook his head and said: "Jun Xue knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. The great Han can educate the barbarians because of the kindness and trust of the prefects of the counties, and the barbarians feel it, so they can be educated. Zheng Chun of the later Han Dynasty, with his clean government, convinced the barbarians, Make an appointment with the Ailao people, two collars for the headgear, and one dendrobium of salt, as a regular gift, this is a policy of kindness and trust."

Wang Si talked to everyone and said.

"Mr. Xue, you should know that if you want to change your habits quickly, it's like a Han style. barbarian education."

Xue Qi pondered for a moment, and replied: "The king's words seem to be reasonable, but they are not. Wuzhi barbarians, if the barbarians rebel because of excessive taxes, how to deal with them, we should use weapons to suppress them."

"The rule of the barbarians by culture is because the barbarians are afraid of the martial arts and are used to farming and weaving, so they can be transformed into Han style. There is nothing better than governing the barbarians."

Wang Si thought for a while, then clasped his hands and replied: "After the barbarians were pacified with martial arts, the barbarians rebelled again. Why?"

"The cause of the opposite is not the bottom, but the top. The barbarians at the bottom are impoverished and rebellious. If someone grants them the law of farming, the officials are not greedy for their things, and they agree to give them a constant tax. How can they be against it?"

"If the barbarian leaders turned against each other because of their interests and encouraged the lower classes to rebel because of the establishment of households, the reason is also above."

"From my point of view, after the suppression of barbarians with Wu, the barbarians rebelled again. The reason was that the Han officials were too greedy; the barbarian leaders rebelled because they were profit-seeking, and they organized their households to equalize the people. Sleep in a room, eat a full meal, marry a wife and have children, how can you rebel?"

"That's why, govern the barbarians with kindness and trust, grant farming, don't be greedy for barbarian things, fix the endowment, and don't change it lightly. Treat the barbarians at the bottom level as their own people, and the barbarians will naturally be convinced. They appreciate our kindness, so why would they turn against it? As for the barbarians If the leader can be petted, he will be petted, but if he can't be petted, he will be killed."

Wang Si explained in depth the internal situation of the barbarians, and made it clear from the perspective of class relations.After the barbarians were subdued, the households were registered as the same as the people, and the barbarians rebelled because the profit-seeking class could no longer squeeze the ordinary barbarians, so they were naturally dissatisfied, so they induced the barbarians to rebel.

As a new profit-making class, the big Han officials should not be too greedy, otherwise the bottom barbarians will also rebel.

Liu Chan couldn't help admiring Wang Si's words.

But having said that, the implementation of specific policies will extremely test the governance ability of the political officials, and the political officials need to pay a lot of effort to implement the governance policies of Wang Si.

Liu Chan looked solemn, turned his head to Guo Youzhi, and said, "Executive director, Wang Chengzong will become a great weapon in the future!"

"Pay more attention to him for me in the future."

"promise!"

(Wang Si, you can download it on Baidu, the ability to govern the barbarians is very strong!)
