Chapter 218 Collection Policy

Kill the nomadic group in one place, and the wolf army will have dozens of casualties. In another nomadic gathering place, hundreds of slaves will be released. Hundreds of people will join the army, and the rest will be distributed and all the money will be dispersed.

There are very few tax evaders among Tibetans in Liangzhou. Most of the people here hide slaves. However, there is basically no such thing as slave status for the slaves here. Most of them are simply plundered and held in bondage.

It is a major feature of Liangzhou to describe it generally and not rigorously. The people are not the same as the people, and the bandits are not the bandits.

Gather the livestock supplies in the camp, make sure the herds are well fed, and take away the cattle, sheep, and horses that can be carried away, and leave other bits and pieces that should be left behind for the people who find this place to collect.

After all, it was to drive away the beasts, not to plunder Liangzhou, so the best troops could be sent out sparingly to avoid becoming bloated.

The wolves fled again, and Liu Cang led his troops out again.

There are actually not many nomads east of Chencang. This area was originally Yongzhou, close to Sili, and was heavily influenced by Han culture. Herding here tends to establish relatively stable pastures.

Starting from Tianshui, you can reach Longxi Street Pavilion along the waterway, where Hu and Qiang customs are more intense, and more tribes have settled in places with abundant water and grass.

Time passed day by day in wandering and chasing, the wolves passed through villages and counties, and around the city were often watched, and the Chinese flag depicting the beasts was flying all over the place for a while.

The animal disaster in Liangzhou is happening east and west, and its location is unpredictable. No one can be sure whether they will wake up to a pack of wolves looking around their home.

"Roar~"

"Ouch~"

At the entrance of Puxiang Village, Langhai was expelled from the village, either dividing the food between cattle and sheep, or cannibalizing the same kind, and stayed away for the time being. It seemed that he was in confrontation with the Han army who was resting in the village.

Tigers compete for food, roaring from time to time. Eagles and tigers chase wolves, drawing flags. The three-beast flag with the Han flag as the background is flying in the village. The young people at the entrance of the village are nervously paying attention to the movements outside the village.

Although there are only about two hundred in number, when tigers gather in groups, ordinary people usually ignore their numbers.

Once they hit the eyes, they will subconsciously send out warnings of disaster, making it impossible to identify their individuals.

Hate it, right? King Dongping drove the tiger, and in just an hour he found and dispersed the wolf pack that had troubled them for many years near the village.

That's right, there were already wolves breeding near the village, and those cunning wild wolves have always been a headache for the village.

Now not only are there less harassment by wild wolves, but a lot of land has been added to the village that can be cultivated and grazed.

Are you grateful? But everyone already knows to some extent what the more exaggerated wolf disaster is.

The scene of these ferocious tigers and vultures squatting at the entrance of the village tearing apart wild wolves, cattle and sheep really made them feel unsure.

Wild wolves may eat their livestock and attack children outside the village, but if they are targeted by this group of vicious creatures, their village of thousands of people may not just lose some livestock.

"Your Highness! Your Highness~!" A man shouted from the entrance of the village, and the shout attracted the attention of the tigers. The large group of tigers turned their heads and looked around, which also made the man's voice change his tone.

It wasn't until Liu Cang shouted and the tiger beast stopped looking at the entrance of the village that a group of stiff young men at the entrance realized that they had broken out in a layer of sweat.

The tiger gave way, and Liu Cang rode his horse to the entrance of the village. Neighing Wind was much taller than an ordinary war horse, with thick hooves and feet, and the horse was covered with armor, making it full of intimidation.

"Your Highness, thank you for helping us get rid of the wolves. We have prepared a few old sheep for the tigers to eat." The middle-aged man is the head of Puxiang Village. He stood in front of Xi Feng and pointed at the dozen sheep behind him.

Said to Liu Cang.

Although it was scary for the kings to ride their horses and carry their halberds, the middle-aged man now felt more secure standing in front of this horse that could easily trample his head with its hoof.

"Do you know all the rules?" Liu Cang asked.

"Yes, we all know it. Don't worry, Your Highness, these old sheep are all from this village." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Your Highness went on an expedition to quell the rebellion, and also eliminated the wolves for us. After all, our village has been the county magistrate of Yuzhou, so we should make some contribution to the fight against thieves." The man carefully looked at Liu Cang's face as he spoke.

"Keep these sheep for yourselves. From now on, your village will provide five sheep to the army every month, no matter what the month or year." The middle-aged man's remarks mainly wanted to express that Puxiang Village has nothing to do with the rebels, and Liu Cang nodded.

confirm.

"I won't lie to you. The ferocious beasts need to be fed with blood. Once the rebellion is over, I can do my best to put an end to the beast disaster."

"When the army returns to Luoyang, this service will be stopped. If there is any inconvenience, you can also go to the army to complain." Liu Cang said to the middle-aged man.

Five sheep per month is not difficult for this village, but it will have some impact on the development of the village. The main sheep here are bred for wool, and only the old sheep are slaughtered.

Liu Cang chased wild beasts from various places, and he also suppressed wild beasts everywhere. He did not just kill to scare people, nor did he do good deeds.

Regardless of whether it is a village of a thousand people or a nomadic group of more than a dozen people, those who are closely related to the rebels will not be stopped unless the wolf army and beast disasters are stopped.

In more villages and counties, household registrations will be reviewed, and according to their financial situation, those with military registration will be exempted or exempted as appropriate, and the rest will have their livestock requisitioned by Liu Cang.

The number of recruits won't break their muscles, but it's enough to make people feel uncomfortable.

Strictly speaking, the method is not much different from robbing someone to collect protection money. Under normal circumstances, this method is no different from seeking death.

However, anyone who is not blind can understand the situation of the rebels this time.

Recruiting livestock is considered a good thing, but if you encounter a place where there is a shortage of young people, but you can't prove where you are going, and you are notified that a beast disaster is coming, it will be thanks to the fact that no one in the wolf army has any hatred for you.

In this kind of place, Liu Cang would not care if he hooked up some men from elsewhere and settled in the house, or if the men in the family suddenly returned home.

Anyway, as long as there are enough men, we can resist the beast disaster, and the wolves will not dare to offend easily.

But if you want to move with your family and wealth and are not attacked by ferocious beasts, then count yourself lucky.

Liu Cang and others did not threaten or make any noise. They just held the wolf pack and wolf army in front. They also cleared out many wild beasts from various places to eliminate harm for the people without asking for anything in return. However, if there is any disobedience to the collection,

, weigh it yourself.

It is quite simple to end Liu Cang's exploitation as soon as possible. After all, Liu Cang made it clear that he would just put an end to this rebellion as soon as possible.

He didn't ask too much, he just wanted to kill Bian Zhang, Han Sui and Beigong Boyu as soon as possible.

"Your Highness is considerate and we will definitely cooperate." Liu Cang made it clear to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man nodded in agreement. Then the man's eyes flickered and he lowered his voice.

"Your Highness, there is a low-lying pasture thirty miles southwest of where we are going. In the early years, the Hu family over there relied on their bravery to occupy that pasture area. It is rare that a man named Jin comes to our area this year."

"Oh?" Liu Cang carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him for the first time. Most of the Hu Qiang people actually had no surnames, and most of the Hu Qiang people in the Han region also changed their surnames to Han. The so-called Hu family was probably a Qiang tribe that changed their surname to Jin.

The middle-aged man in front of him looked honest and honest, but his words were really not very harmonious.

"A rebel pasture?" Liu Cang's expression seemed to indicate something, and his middle-aged eyes lit up.

"Yes, Your Highness, there are more than a thousand cattle in that pasture. We in Puxiang Village are willing to raise livestock for Your Highness." The middle-aged man responded quickly.

"Well, then Mr. Hu will know the details. If there is any untruth, I will not spare you." Liu Cang looked serious and spoke sternly.

"I dare not, I will never tell a lie." The middle-aged man assured in a panic.

In the distance, wolves howled strangely, and tiger beasts roared on Liu Cang's side.

The battles in Liangzhou are really ubiquitous. The Puxiang Village has been suppressed by the Jin family for a long time, but a pasture can kill people here, and "packs of wolves" look at each other.
