Chapter 542: Attitude towards the Southern Barbarian Tribes
Liu Xin set out from Ruixian County in mid-April and took a boat to the south of Ruixian County. He saw that many places in the Changnan Lake area were already under construction. Wengcheng was built in many places around the official roads.
It is developing in the way Liu Xin hopes, and this year there has been a lot more farmland near various water bodies.
The four southern counties of Shu County are already very prosperous. Wengcheng was built near the county seat. Many local Han people lived in it, and a Yi tribe also moved in. Some Wengcheng were even built in some mountains and cliffs in special ways.
, this also allowed Liu Xin to see that the solution to the barbarian tribes in southern Yizhou was to build roads.
Constantly building roads, building roads to all places where people live, and maintaining roads means building local characteristics on each road. If he does this with all his strength, he will definitely be able to see the results in his lifetime. Is it all worth it?
Liu Xin feels that there is nothing worthwhile about all this, only whether he is willing or not. These problems will eventually be solved, even if it takes him more than a thousand years. If Liu Xin can solve them now, then this will be more important than his struggle for hegemony of the Three Kingdoms.
many.
With Liu Xin's wisdom, in the past few years when he practiced steel and social productivity increased rapidly, he focused on the construction of the southern region of Yizhou, which would not have a great impact on his northern counties. He could completely consider using local tribes and through labor
and construction to transform them step by step, but this requires some methods and means.
When Liu Xin entered Yuexun County, the mountain roads here were even more rugged. Countless caravans were driving carriages through the official roads from time to time. The narrowest parts of these official roads were more than ten feet wide. In many places, holes were opened to build bridges, and they were detoured for ten meters.
After a few miles, I looked back and found that I had only crossed a ravine.
Cheng Yu was waiting outside Qiongdu County early. At the same time, Liu Xin also saw some local tribal representatives. He knew what Cheng Yu meant by doing this. The tribal leaders who could welcome Liu Xin had already joined them. He could not let Cheng Yu down.
preparation...
While talking cordially with the tribal leaders, Liu Xin told them the guarantees he could give them. As for what he wanted, Liu Xin also made it very clear. He wanted to make money. There were many people in the entire Central Plains, and there were many rich people.
, you can make a lot of profits by obtaining herbs, furs, minerals, etc. from southern Yizhou.
These tribal leaders expressed their understanding and told Liu Xin that they would always cooperate with Liu Xin. Some tribal leaders vaguely mentioned that there were people in their tribes who were unwilling to surrender to Liu Xin. They had different cultures and habits and just wanted to live in peace with Liu Xin.
Liu Xin gave a very clear answer. As long as he did not rebel and did not object to the exchanges between the government and the caravans, he would not send troops to any tribe unless he did evil.
The tribe finally breathed a sigh of relief. They happily told Liu Xin that they were willing to cooperate with Liu Xin. Liu Xin's army did not harm them and brought them food and hope. They were willing to send more
Soldiers and members work for Liu Xin.
Now that he has decided to solve the Nanman problem, Liu Xin plans to implement it concretely. Make each tribe more dependent on himself and finally like the new life, so that certain Nanman tribes in Yizhou will really submit to him.
"That's what I think. Yuexun County is rich in mountains and rivers. If you spend time cultivating new fields, the food output will be good.
Many cottages have the habit of growing herbal medicines. We can also ask various tribes to grow herbal medicines for us, treat them as one of our aristocratic families or chambers of commerce in Rui County and Chengdu County, and then cooperate with them, so that the other party may be more accessible.
.
To make southern Yizhou completely stable, it is extremely important to communicate with various tribes. We can first express our goodwill, for example, let them have some planting and construction skills, and let them sell the things they make to us.
Then the mutually beneficial relationship will become closer.
You should take the time to communicate more with the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Construction, and the Ministry of Agriculture to see what can be produced or planted in the counties of Yuexun County, and let me review it before implementing it.
At the same time, all the existing work cannot be stopped. What should we do if we continue? The pace of road construction should never stop. If the prefectural governors and county governments in each county do not have enough funds, they can apply for funds from the Finance Department. It is very important to win over the leaders of the major tribes. Winning over
The hearts of the people are more important, and the traffic situation in southern Yizhou represents the strength of our rule here." Liu Xin said.
Liu Xin told Cheng Yu another set of governance methods, which was a new system based entirely on commodity trade. This method was indeed useful for the southern barbarian tribes with very different cultural customs.
Liu Xin and Cheng Yu inspected the roads in Yuexun County. Many roads could not meet Liu Xin's requirements. Some bridges and roads that were dangerous and could not be guaranteed needed to be rebuilt at a high cost. This trip to Yuexun County made Yuexun
The county officials in Yuexun County finally knew that Liu Xin attached great importance to the counties in southern Yizhou and could not slacken in their work because Yuexun County was remote. After inspecting the entire Yuexun County with Cheng Yu, Liu Xin dismissed the three county magistrates.
The five county magistrates and eight county captains were not capable and had correct attitudes, so Liu Xin replaced them with others.
Cheng Yu introduced Liu Xin to the implementation of the three major New Deals in Yuexun County. Because there were very few aristocratic families in Yuexun County, there were only three that could be considered aristocratic families. When the New Deal was issued, the three families were very cooperative. They also saw that Liu Xin
The people's strength can only obey. It is much easier to implement the New Deal in the south of Yizhou than in the north.
After inspecting Yuexun County, Liu Xin planned to go to Yongchang County, and Cheng Yu chose to accompany him. There is no Yunnan County where the official road has been built to Yongchang County, because the mountain roads here are more rugged and road construction is more difficult. Liu Xin and Yue
The person in charge of the Construction Department of Xi County discussed the possibility of building a bridge and digging tunnels. The other party said that it was very difficult. Liu Xin used the current industrial construction ideas to discuss with the other party. In the end, the problem all came from the tools.
If the iron castle in Shu County is built, the iron output of the blast furnace will be greatly increased. If Liu Xin is willing to spend energy researching with the blacksmiths, he will definitely be able to make more large-scale construction tools and use screws to link the steel parts together.
Bridges can also be built.
Tunnels require special attention to landslides and are difficult to dig, but if supervision is in place and masonry is used to stabilize the interior of the tunnel, some small tunnels can still be built.
He asked the Ministry of Construction to make several construction plans to build an official road with a width of more than two feet. Liu Xin planned to study cement manufacturing. The principle of cement firing is very simple. Liu Xin was engaged in chemical industry in his previous life. If he could bake
