Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 74 The Three Guards System
After pondering for a while, Liu Chan poked his index finger on the map and threw out the thoughts in his mind, and said to Zhuge Liang slowly: "The world of Han is not only Han people, but also people from the Han, Nan, and Qiang. Therefore, I think that the world should not only have counties. The county system should be used for different people. After it is Sinicized, it can be changed to the county system.”

Zhuge Liang said in his heart that sure enough, His Majesty transferred Wang Ping to Chengdu probably for this reason, Wang Ping is a Sinicized 豨 from Brazil, so it is quite beneficial to deal with 賨 people.

But Zhuge Liang smiled wryly in his heart. Now the big man still has the energy and money to solve these problems. His Majesty wants to use a different rule to govern the barbarians, regardless of whether it is feasible, and the implementation process will cost a lot of money.

"The country wants to expand its ambitions and subdue the barbarians, and the ministers are overjoyed to hear it! But now the big man is tired, and I hope the country will find out." Zhuge Liang clasped his hands and praised.

Liu Chan helped Zhuge Liang up, sighed and said slowly: "I don't know what Xiangfu said. It is because Yizhou is exhausted that I want to do this, accumulate soldiers, and restore vitality!"

Zhuge Liang was silent when he heard the words, a little unclear what Liu Chan really meant, he was thinking about preparing to reform and was waiting for other matters to advise.

Hearing Liu Chan say again: "Father Xiang must think that I am lying, but in fact, the governance I think has traces to follow. In Qin Dynasty, we used different methods to govern the poor, and now we, a big man, also use different methods."

"Your Majesty, please tell me!" Zhuge Liang said seriously.

"The core of this method is to rule the barbarians by Sinicizing them. Since ancient times, the barbarians have been good at hunting, singing and dancing, respecting witches, and being brave and good at fighting. In order to win its soldiers, King Zhaoxiang of Qin allowed him to "not rent a hectare of land, so that the murderer can live Money to redeem death'. I, a big man, can further imitate it. I want to make people who register households no longer pay taxes, and don’t do farming. A soldier is sent out from every household, and soldiers are soldiers from generation to generation. They train in leisure time and send troops in war.”

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang frowned, and the people did not pay taxes, did not farm, and devoted themselves to fighting.

How do people feed their lives?

The big man pays?

Liu Chan noticed Zhuge Liang's expression, and he said slowly, "Why do people make a living with slaves? They produce with slaves and farm with slaves; Yizhou does not accept that there are many barbarians, and the people of Jin are brave and good at fighting. They can make people fight against slaves and do things with slaves. farming."

"Humans fight, and slaves farm."

Liu Chan spoke lightly, but it sounded like thunder in Zhuge Liang's ears, and Zhuge Liang's heart was beating wildly.

Zhuge Liang was not frightened by Liu Chan's vicious policy, but moved by it.

Since the Qin Dynasty, there have been a large number of slaves in Yizhou, but these slaves were barbarians in the South and Central China. Chengdu was the largest slave trade center in East Asia at that time.

For example, Bodao County in Qianwei County was inhabited by Bo people during the Qin Dynasty. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Han people plundered a large number of Bo people as slaves, causing the Bo people to strongly resist.However, after the suppression by the Han Dynasty, the Bo people in this area gradually repelled and migrated because of "there were many Han people."

During the period of Gongsunshu, the population of central Shu was 210 million, with 30 slaves.When Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu attacked Gongsun Shu, he also used the title of "Release slaves, liberate slaves" (Han people) to gain support from slaves.

Zhuge Liang also thought about writing reform items, including the release of slaves.Although he was moved by Liu Chan's policy, he still had some doubts.

"Although the country's policy is good, I am afraid that this policy will lead to the prevalence of slavery in Sichuan. The wars in Guanzhong and Longyou have caused many people to go south, and the poor will sell themselves to the tyrants in Sichuan. I want to issue an order to release slaves in the future." Zhuge Liang Express your doubts.

Liu Chan smiled lightly and said, "Father, let me continue to talk about the rule of generals."

"My minister is rude." Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said.

"I want to set up three guards, Baijia, Qingjia, and Chijia. The people who are incorporated into the Baijiawei are only guard households, which are different from the soldiers and peasant households of the Han Dynasty."

“20户设一洞称洞将（20人）、5洞设一叟称叟将（100人）、5叟设一种称种主（500人）、三种设一邑称邑主（1500人），三邑设一卫称卫帅（4500人）。”

"The people who were incorporated into the Weizhong all changed their Han surnames, and one of them became a single surname. From now on, the Wei people only have Wei points, not clan points. I don't know what Xiangfu thinks?" After Liu Chan finished speaking, he took a few sips of tea .

"How to cure it when farming?"

"100 households are set up as villages, and counties and counties can manage them."

"How can it be controlled if the lord and the commander-in-chief are powerful?"

"Then set up the Xuanjia Guards, filled with the elite of the three guards. The Xuanjia Guards are the main guards, and the Liu family's children can also be incorporated into the Xuanjia Guards in the future. The Xuanjia Guards are the top guards, and the other three guards are the bottom guards. The three guards enter the upper guard and are called ascending guards."

"I don't know what Xiangfu thinks?" Liu Chan asked Zhuge Liang with a smile.

"My last question, where will the three guards be stationed?" Zhuge Liang said slowly.

Liu Chan smiled and took out the scarf in his sleeve and handed it to Zhuge Liang.Zhuge Liang immediately took the scarf, spread it out to check the details of the Three Guards System, and the rest of the doubts in his mind had been resolved.

The Zi people were compiled as Baijiawei and were stationed in Langzhong, Brazil; the Qingyi Qiang were compiled as Qingjiawei and stationed in Hanjiayi County;

……

Zhuge Liang put away the scarf and silk, exchanged it with Liu Chan with both hands, looked at Liu Chan and said righteously: "Although the country's policy is good, but slavery has become common in the middle of Sichuan, and the large number of slaves needed by the three guards, I fear that the barbarians in Yizhou will be defeated in the future." The rebellions keep coming."

Liu Chan remained silent. The Three Guards system was somewhat different from Zhuge Liang's policy of "Harmonizing the Rong in the west and pacifying the barbarians in the south". The ministries were compiled as slaves for production.

Liu Chan put away his mood and said slowly: "As long as you submit to the barbarians, you can also be incorporated into the three guards; if you pay taxes and the barbarians submit, the tyrants, gentry, and three guards in the middle of Shu cannot capture them as slaves. If there is any rebellion, thousands of people will rebel. .”

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and nodded slowly. According to Liu Chan's policies and countermeasures, even if there is a rebellion in the future, it will be a small-scale rebellion that will not affect the overall situation.

Zhuge Liang also considered that the large-scale implementation of the three-guard system would lead to the Nanzhong rebellion spreading to Shu.

"Just as Qing said, I want Wang Ping and Deng Ai to go to the local area to surrender the barbarians first and make them guard households, and to fight against the disobedient barbarians to show the power of the Han Dynasty." Liu Chan said his plan.

"How many soldiers and horses?"

"Each leader of a hundred soldiers needs to conquer across counties."

"Good! The minister issued an official document ordering the counties and counties to assist."

Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang made an arrangement, and Zhuge Liang immediately issued an official document ordering his attendants to be handed over to Deng Ai and Wang Ping.
-
During the Han and Wei Dynasties, it was common for large households to keep slaves. There were thousands of slaves in Liu Yan and hundreds of slaves in Li Yan in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the average price of a cow in Shu was 1.5 yuan, and the average number of servants was 4 yuan.

Shi Le was sold as a slave when he was young.

Some book friends have recently reported that the plot is flat, and I also have a headache. The emperor's essay needs farming content. In history, Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong and waited for Liu Chan to ascend to the throne for a year or two before going south. It must be written again, but these contents are too hardcore, and you may not like to read them.

So I decided to revise the content of the second volume of the outline to retreat to the people, interspersed with the prelude to the reform; the script of Wang Ping and Deng Ai;
