Tianshui County Governor is full of favors, and it cannot be said that he is not a talented person, but when he just took office and everything was done from the basics, it is difficult to do more.

What's more, the location of Tianshui County is extremely sensitive. It borders Guangwei in Liangzhou to the north, Longxi, which is currently a border county, to the west, and Wudu County to the south. No matter which direction there is an enemy invasion, Tianshui County cannot get around it.

Important place.

Therefore, the first thing Man Chong did when he took office was to understand the current military strength of Tianshui County, and then work hard to restore civilian production while ensuring that a certain amount of military power could be used.

The agricultural situation in Tianshui County can only be regarded as average. In addition, after the chaos in the past few years, there is no grain at all. If it were not for the support of the imperial court, it might not be able to survive during this period. Man Chong used all his strength to bring the situation to an end.

The situation in Tianshui County has stabilized, but prosperity? That's far from being said.

"In addition to the people of the Han Dynasty, Tianshui County also has many Qiang and Di people mixed in. These people either make a living by hunting or selling some small items. Most of them live in peace."

"But there are always a small number of people, either who have just moved from Bi, or who have a mission themselves. After coming to Tianshui County, instead of doing production, they go around making trouble. From the beginning of this year to now, nothing has happened.

Ten up!”

Man Chong had nothing to do about this, especially considering the current embarrassing situation of the court, he did not dare to use force at will. But it was impossible for him to tolerate it so much. During this period, Man Chong had already strengthened the patrols of soldiers, and at the same time went to

Ask the court for instructions on whether to use force to solve the problem if necessary?

Even Man Chong had already prepared the idea of ​​​​suppressing it directly with force. Even if the court blamed him later, he would bear the responsibility. It happened that the emperor was touring the northwest and came to Tianshui at this time, and he had someone to ask for instructions.

After Liu Xuan heard this, he also knew the general situation of Tianshui.

It's troublesome to say it's troublesome, it's simple to say it's simple.

However, Waihu means that some foreigners have sneaked in with other ideas, stirred up trouble, and then sought asylum from the local Qiang and Di people in the name of "compatriots."

For these foreigners living in their own territory, officials from all over the Han Dynasty generally adopted a tolerant policy. This was the case when Liu Yu was in Youzhou. Later, Zhuge Liang, the Sun family of Eastern Wu and even Cao Cao all adopted appropriate tolerant policies - Gongsun Zan

He was different in this regard, because he advocated killing all the unruly guys directly. Because of this, when Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought in history, Wuhuan sent troops to help Yuan Shao defeat Gongsun Zan.

Even in the heyday of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was mostly tolerant towards the problems of foreign races. This was almost the general policy. Although Man Chong had his own ideas, he did not dare to mess around easily.

The generally adopted method is that as long as these foreign races do not cause trouble, then they can do whatever they want - the foreign races will also draw a circle of their own to gather and live in. The exchanges with the Han people are mostly trade, and they have little contact with them, and they still retain their original characteristics.

lifestyle habits.

Tianshui County has relatively good integration of foreign races, and some have completely integrated into the lives of Han people, but most of them still retain their original habits.

This seemed to be the Han Dynasty's usual way of dealing with foreigners within the territory. Although Man Chong wanted to use force, he just wanted to properly force the other party to hand over the 'chief criminal', but he didn't think about anything else.

But Liu Xuan thought further.

"These people staying here like this are always a scourge, and it cannot be solved here, and it is the same in other places. This problem must be completely eradicated."

The first seat in the prefect's mansion was naturally given to Liu Xuan, and the first person next to him was Xun You Xun Gongda, the current Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs. As the prefect and the landlord here, Man Chong also accompanied him.

Further down are the many civil and military officials accompanying him, such as Zhong Yao, Guo Jia, Huang Zhong and others, as well as a local county official from Tianshui County.

This man's name was interesting, he was called Jiang. Liu Xuan dismissed it after knowing which word it was, but Man Chong said that this young man in his early twenties was very talented and knew the local situation very well, so he helped him.

A lot of work and one thing, Jiang is a native of Tianshui. Jiang is very popular in this place. It can be said that there are people in every county who sell his face. When Man Chong does things, it will go much smoother naturally if he has this person to help him.

Just because of Man Chong's compliments these few times, he also had a place in this discussion that had nothing to do with him.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Man Chong was also quite curious about the young emperor. He knew that the emperor personally agreed that he could serve as the governor of Tianshui County, but he had never met the current emperor because he was under special circumstances when he received the conquest and entered the capital.

There was no stopping, and after taking care of the necessary chores, we went straight to Tianshui.

At that time, he only said to himself: "The emperor values ​​you very much!" But he didn't know at all why he valued the Dharma. This time, he could find out by discussing the affairs of foreign races with the emperor.

Liu Xuan did not directly give a method, but asked Man Chong: How do you think we should solve it?"

Man Chong knew that this was the emperor's test for him. If his answer satisfied the emperor, he would have fewer constraints in his future work, and he could even truly manage this county according to his own ideas.

But if the emperor is not satisfied...

It is useless to think too much, not to mention that the emperor is waiting for him to speak. Man Chong said directly: "I think that we should use weapons appropriately so that some people with different intentions can know that this country is still the country of the Han Dynasty."

Man Chong's words are a relatively safe way. A proper display of force will let some people know how powerful they are. And he didn't say anything else, which means that Man Chong believes that it is enough to deal with the alien problem in the usual way, and wait until the world is peaceful.

Take your time with this.

After hearing this, Liu Xuan felt that it was safe, but it was not what he wanted.

"The world is in chaos today, and the imperial court has only two states: Yongliang and Yongliang! If you want to regain all the states in the world, Yongliang is the fundamental place, and we must not allow some people with different intentions to cause chaos!"

Just listening to the first half of the sentence, Man Chong thought that the emperor was more prudent than himself. He wanted to tell himself not to use his weapons lightly, to deal with the past, and then go back and deal with those little things after regaining the world. But after hearing the second half

After finishing the sentence, I realized that His Majesty was much more aggressive than me, because what Liu Xuan said in the second half of the sentence was not that there would be no chaos, but that there would be no chaos caused by those with different intentions. This was a big statement.

"What does your Majesty mean...?"

Man Chong was afraid that he had misunderstood, so he spoke to make sure.

Liu Xuan also knew what Man Chong was worried about, and nodded: "If anyone causes trouble in the future, we will directly punish them according to the laws of the Han Dynasty!"

People say that the laws of the Qin Dynasty were strict, but in fact the laws of the Han Dynasty were not much worse than those of the Qin Dynasty.

However, no matter how strict the law is, if it cannot be implemented, it will be just a decoration. This did not happen to the authentic people of the Han Dynasty. The main problem for some officials was these alien residents.

Many of these foreign people do not regard themselves as subjects of the Han Dynasty, so it seems a bit inappropriate to use the laws of the Han Dynasty to govern them. What's more important is that once they are dealt with in this way, a large group of foreign people will be dissatisfied. If there is a quarrel, it will be

It was troublesome for a while. But if left unchecked, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Just because of these differences in the ideas of local officials, different people treat foreigners in different ways.

And what does the emperor mean by treating everyone equally? According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, those who commit rebellion are serious crimes. If we really want to deal with them in accordance with the law, what will happen to those aliens who really cause chaos?

When he asked his question, he received a chuckle from the emperor: "Bo Ning is confused. Do you still need me to teach you how to deal with the rebels?"

When Man Chong heard this, he no longer had any doubts in his mind - he was already sure that this young emperor was a very tough emperor, and he actually said such bloody words so easily when it came to dealing with aliens...

The most troubling thing about the issue of foreigners is that once a foreigner commits a crime and seeks refuge among the same ethnic group, they, the officials of the Han Dynasty, will be in a difficult situation, either without arresting them or not.

But according to the emperor's instructions, there is no need to worry and they will be arrested directly. If anyone resists, they will be punished for treason. To put it bluntly, they will kill all the people and behead everyone who refuses to obey.

Ordinarily the emperor would be worried that if he did this, all the alien races in the northwest would rebel? Because the aliens would not reason with you, the Han people. If you kill my compatriots, we will rebel directly - not to mention that they have no idea in their hearts.

As a subject of the Han Dynasty, this is not considered a rebellion. Raising troops to avenge blood and hatred as a slogan is almost the same.

Just because the chain reaction it will cause is so troublesome, even though many people know how to do it correctly, they still don’t do it.

Liu Xuan is not afraid of this. If you really dare to rebel, I will really dare to kill him. He even said to Man Chong: "Although the main purpose of the imperial court is to restore people's livelihood, it cannot tolerate some people's misbehavior. As long as these aliens don't make trouble, really

If there is a commotion, then everyone will rush into the desert!"

Anyway, it's not like he has no soldiers at his disposal. Although the three most elite soldiers and horses are undergoing new training, it's not impossible to practice while fighting.

What's more, it would be a good thing if this killing could really solve the alien problem that has plagued the northwest for many years. At the same time, in order to set a strict handling standard for the governors of the northwest counties, Liu Xuan directly issued an edict: "From now on

Anyone living in the territory of the Han Dynasty, no matter what their status is, must abide by the laws of the Han Dynasty. If they do not comply, they will be dealt with according to the law!"

With this article, it can be regarded as setting the court's attitude towards the foreign races under Liu Xuan's rule: Just live a good life, if you really want to do something, Liu Xuan's soldiers will not care about you. As for these

Do you think of yourself as a citizen of the Han Dynasty? Liu Xuan doesn't care about you! If you really don't think of yourself as a citizen of the Han Dynasty, then you will have no pressure to kill him.
