I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 318 It's Time to Go Back
"." Chen Chan looked at Ma Rong in front of him, then at the Qiang Hu behind Ma Rong, and finally fell silent.

He was not convinced by Ma Rong, he was shocked by Ma Rong or Liu Long's intention.

To be honest, Chen Chan was not very convinced of Liu Long before this.

Perhaps Liu Long himself knew this very well.

It takes three years to renovate Wudu waterway to see the effect, and five years to restore half of it. These words made Chen Chanruo go to the court and the temple.

I'm afraid he didn't dare to say a word.

Because Chen Chan knew that even in this temple, there was no one familiar with Liangzhou, Wudu, or Tianchi Daze.

But they are still very familiar with the word scheming.

Chen Chan said so much before. In fact, most of it was because of one sentence.

That is, before he dies, he wants to do something that will leave his name in history. To put it bluntly, he wants to be famous!
Also for the sake of his own descendants.

He knew that with his current ability, it was not easy to protect his son, but after all, he did not only have one son, Chen Chan also had his own thoughts and calculations.

He didn't deceive Liu Long, but he didn't tell Liu Long how intuitive the figure was.

Even the number he told Liu Long didn't have an exact meaning. To put it simply, he bet that Liu Long didn't know what the number he told him represented.

Before, he thought he had won the bet!
Liu Long was young and frivolous, and after years of continuous battles and victories, he must be very ambitious, so he wanted to get Liu Long to help him, or to get Liu Long to agree to his approach, and then provide enough food for his reputation and future. .

As for whether he can succeed in the end or whether he can persevere, Chen Chan knows that as long as Liu Long gives it, he can succeed!

As for whether the Han court would be brought down by this incident.

To be honest, Chen Chan wasn't worried.

It wasn't that he was unfaithful and unjust, the main reason was that Chen Chan knew that Liu Long was young and frivolous, but the court was not.

They will stop this matter, and in the end they will have a reputation for doing their best, and they will have ideas, and then in order to save His Majesty's face.

As long as you are not wrong, you can get promoted and leave Wudu.

Let this matter end like this.

Originally, Chen Chan thought that the court would resolve this matter, but he never expected that Liu Long would resolve it himself.

And still use this method to solve it.

Qianghu or Qianghu slaves are really a good group of laborers.

Using them does not require much consumption. Liu Long even promised to give them food and drink, but what is eating is not eating?

Use whips to whip them to work for the big man, and then give them food and drink while dividing them so that they dare not make mistakes and cannot make mistakes.

In this way, the consumption of money and food is instantly reduced several times, and there is no need to worry about the corvee. Without the corvee, they are all slaves!

Moreover, all spring planting and autumn harvest will not be delayed, because these Qianghu people are not people who know how to cultivate.
As for Ma Rong's last sentence, kill!

The more they kill, the more they learn.

Chen Chan knew more clearly that this did not tell Chen Chan how to manage the Qiang and Hu, but it also told Chen Chan that His Majesty had anger in his heart.Killing the Qiang and Hu is also killing. If you can't do it yourself, kill him to calm down your anger. That's still killing!

That Your Majesty understands his plan, it’s just that he underestimated His Majesty
After thinking about this, Chen Chan, who had been silent for a long time, looked at the tied Qiang Hu again and could only nod silently.

"Let them go one by one. I want to say something to them."

The war in the Yongliang land in the northwest is still going on, and it is far from over.

The first Qiang and Hu tribes were almost a thing of the past, and some collateral tribes fled back to the grasslands and deserts, lingering under the pursuit of the Han army.

Even if it is not annexed by other tribes, it will take decades to recover.

But the name of Xianling Qiang and Hu will always be spread in this desert because the Han will use them as an excuse to constantly send troops to wipe out those tribes.

It's just that this time Liu Long will not attack as aggressively as before, which will consume a lot of food and grass and trigger fierce resistance from the Qiang and Hu people.

It may even cause the Qiang and Hu to evacuate early, making the war futile in the end, thus wasting a lot of food and baggage.

Following the suggestions of Deng Zun, Ma Xian and others, Liu Long directly broke them into parts, and then asked each general and colonel to lead their own troops to encircle and suppress them. Starting from small tribes, he silently liquidated the entire northwest.

While clearing up, they also continued to attract more Qiang and Hu, migrating and exterminating them at the same time. In the end, the Qiang and Hu were surrounded by the Han army before they had time to resist.

In this way, within a few months, Liu Long personally took charge of two armies under Hanyang. Each general and commander wiped out hundreds of Qiang and Hu tribes, and then surrendered tens of thousands of Qiang and Hu young men, as well as women and children.

Among them, the women among the Qiang and Hu family members were rewarded by him, the children were sent to various counties for resettlement, and the young adults were sent to Wudu for the same ten-year period.

After ten years, you can return to the desert, or you can become a citizen of Wudu, or a citizen of other places.
As for the Qiang and Hu who were attracted, they were part of the migration. At the same time, the part that was also attracted reorganized the Qiang and Hu Yi Cong in the northwest, and followed Liu Long to fight everywhere.

In just a few months, the Qiang Hu finally built up a usable army, and the military capital also had a total of [-] Qiang Hu.

Then Chen Chan is indeed Chen Chan. To be valued by so many people, he naturally has some tricks.

He divided the Qiang and Hu by first settling them and then disorganizing them.

Then the rewards and punishments will be decided. Reporting resistance can reward meat and wine, and even reduce the period of ten years.

Resisting, increasing the deadline, and even beating him to death, even causing skin cramps.
In addition, the method of sitting together was used to restrict them, and the old people were used to manage the newcomers. After repeated hardships, the Qiang Hu in Wudu could be considered to be somewhat large.

At the same time, this Wudu also started the road of repair.

It's just that this started to work, and it also proved that the Qianghu was indeed not as useful as the Han people, but it was better than saving money and food.

Liu Long sent over a lot of cattle and sheep, which allowed Chen Chan to be self-sufficient in Wudu.

As for the allocated grain and grass, Yu Xu provided part of it, Hanzhong took part of it, and finally Wudu was self-sufficient in part.

Even if it is still needed and there is any gap, it is not too big.

A few months later, when the Winter Festival came, Liu Long finally waited for Yu Xu who had returned from Yizhou.

There are also letters and silks sent from the capital.

"The queen has summoned us, it's time for us to go back."
