One thousand and seventy-seventh white-eyed wolf (1)
"The last generals and others welcome you!" Fan Mingyou, the captain of the Qiang Hunting School, led the orders to join the generals and officials of the upper and lower levels, as well as the generals of the northern regions of Longyou, and the generals of Anding counties, personally went out of the city to welcome them.
"Please get up!" Zhang Yue helped everyone up and said softly: "You guys, please get up..."
Then, surrounded by people, he went straight into Lingju City.
Along the way, Fan Mingyou made reports to Zhang Yue from time to time.
The main introduction is the captives who were ordered to be captured in the residence and the losses of the war.
Zhang Yue listened, nodded from time to time, and asked. When he walked to the residence of the Qiang Hu Qiang lieutenant in Lingju City, Zhang Yue had almost figured out the current situation of Lingju.
Overall, the situation is not optimistic.
The main reason is that there are too many prisoners.
The Qiang people alone were at least tens of thousands of people captured, and there were about tens of thousands of Yuezhi prisoners.
In addition, as the war ended, the Yuezhi tribes, which were not involved in the rebellion in the Hehuang area, came to express their loyalty.
The tribes involved in the rebellion, those without traces who had disappeared for a time, suddenly came out. They all came with their tribe members, bare-handedly and carrying thorns on their backs to apologize.
Of course, Fan Mingyou did not have the authority to deal with these people, so he could only take them all in, put them under house arrest, and wait for Zhang Yue, the imperial envoy, to come and deal with them personally.
However, the consequence is that Ling Ju's ability to withstand reaches its limit!
Tens of thousands of prisoners of war, more than 20,000 to 30,000 so-called "remedy" righteous men who were waiting for rewards, and those who apologized for guilt and expressed their loyalty.
All of them need to be eaten, drunk, defecated and urinated.
The post road connected to Lingju and Hexi has limited carrying capacity.
It was already very painful to maintain Lingju's army.
Now, with the supply of about 70,000 to 80,000 people, the supplement is far less than the consumption.
The reason is that after the Lingju war ended, Zhao Xindi's cavalry began to evacuate. I am afraid that Lingju will be short of food now.
Even so, the supply of food and grass in Lingju is already very dangerous.
However, Zhang Yue didn't care about this result.
Because he could soon pass on these burdens away. In essence, the prisoners of war in Lingju were sold to the noble officials and wealthy businessmen in Chang'an.
So, after Zhang Yue settled down, he immediately began to distribute prisoners of war and land.
The process was that the prisoners of war, grouped one hundred people into numbers, and then threw them into a pallet, allowing the noble officials and wealthy business representatives from Chang'an to draw lots according to the number of people they ordered.
Therefore, the prisoners of war were assigned quickly.
From then on, these people were not prisoners of war from the Han Dynasty, but slaves from a certain man.
Naturally, their masters are responsible for their food, drink, defecation and sensation.
Of course, in order to reduce the burden and pressure of "investors", Zhang Yue ordered them to purchase grain at Lingju at the market price in Chang'an.
Although this is a big loss, the price of rice in Chang'an is only a few dozen yuan per stone, in Lingju, the freight of these grains alone may have exceeded this price.
But, no matter what, it is much better than the previous completely losing money transaction, and now it can at least recover some of the costs.
After throwing the blame from the prisoners, Zhang Yue took his men to start rushing to encircle the land.
Hehuang was so big that hundreds of years later that this place could even maintain a small power that could beat the Northern Song Dynasty and kick the Liao Kingdom.
Nowadays, because the soil and water are well preserved, the vegetation is lush, and the natural ecology is very strong.
This area has very good farming conditions.
The only problem is that the place has not been developed by agriculture at all.
There are pastures, swamp areas, wetlands, and forest farms everywhere.
If you want to develop, you will not be less effort.
However, it is easier to enclose land.
Zhang Yue sorted the companies from Chang'an, in the order of their investment amount and official titles.
Divide these people into sequences and sort them first, and they will have the opportunity to choose first.
Then, let them enclose their own land.
The method of land grabbing is also very simple. If you like something, you will ride a horse and run over, put down a flag in the desired location, and then run to a location you don’t want, and put down a flag there.
Then, Zhang Yue will go and have a look.
Generally, it is not too much. For example, if you only bought a hundred hectares of land, but you ended up 200 or 300 hectares of land. Zhang Yue would pretend that he had not seen it, sign the land on the land plan, and allocate the land to the person who chose it. Anyway, there is nothing in Hehuang, but there is no shortage of land.
There is enough space in the Qianli Hehuang River Basin to satisfy the appetites of these noble officials and wealthy businessmen.
For a time, the children of wealthy businessmen who were carrying their retainers and under the protection of the army could be seen everywhere in the Hehuang area.
And their arrival, especially their behavior of enclosing land, scared the remaining Yuezhi tribes in Hehuang.
Because some people, especially the children of Huo Guang, Shangguan Jie and others, directly encircled the land into the pastures of these tribes, and Huo Yu even quite domineeringly encircled the land directly into the core territory of the "Huangshui Ministry", one of the former overlords of the Yuezhi.
In front of the Han army's bright swords and guns, the Yuezhi people, who had been beaten to death and had lost their fighting power, finally realized the terror.
They wanted to resist, but they didn't need the Han army to take action. Just the retainers of each family and some Qiang people who began to surrender and were willing to be tyrants, they arranged these weak scumbags to be dismissed.
Tribes were driven out of their ranch.
Then, they could only watch their homes be occupied by others.
But, this is just the beginning!
Because, soon they discovered that all the fertile lands and places with abundant water and grass were almost favored by the Han people.
The noble officials and wealthy businessmen from Chang'an may not be able to do anything else.
But the vision is nothing.
They know clearly where farming is suitable and where it is good.
Even if you don’t understand, some retainers understand.
Therefore, within a few days, the Hehuang area changed its world.
The Yuezhi tribes were basically driven to remote corners of Hehuang, even among the mountains.
Zhang Yue had no sympathy for their experience.
Because, they all suffer!
Therefore, when these tribe leaders began to complain and ran to him to complain, Zhang Yue just sneered and said, "When did the Han Dynasty lose Yuezhi?"
"I remember that at the beginning, the Yuezhi tribes were originally a dog that was lost to the family and were harmed by the Huns. The champion Zhongjinghou, Duke Huo, did not miss the difference between the barbarians and the Xia. He waited for the Yuezhi to be sincere and gave it to the land of Hehuang, and ordered Yuezhi to guard the borders of the Han Dynasty!"
"However, you and others treated each other with rebellion and met with swords and weapons!"
These people still want to argue, saying things like, "I have never rebelled!", "We have always been loyal." Even ghosts don't believe it.
Zhang Yue directly attacked into the soil.
"Is it a loyal minister before rebellion?"
"The man who stands up on both ends of the snake's head and stands on the wall, the Han do not want such a 'loyal minister'!"
So, they drove these people away directly!
In Zhang Yue's eyes, the Yuezhi people are now like the ungrateful wolf who is not well-fed.
Chapter completed!
