In this era, common people actually have certain standards. For example, they have their own house, their own farmland, they pay taxes all the time, and they have a certain amount of private wealth. Even if they don't have cattle and horses, they always have some chickens and sheep.

Liangzhou should be regarded as an area where many ethnic groups gather, but regardless of whether the original ethnic groups are Hu, Qiang, Xiongnu or Han, those who settled in Liangzhou are all Han people.

The people here in Liangzhou can be roughly divided into three categories.

The first type is people who live in the city or have settled in fixed civil buildings around the city.

This kind of people either reclaim land or participate in farming. Their life mainly revolves around farming and occasionally raising some pigs and sheep. They are peaceful and peaceful, and they can be regarded as relatively pure common people. Whether they are local powerful people or officials, they don't trust them, but they don't care.

Not important.

The second category has fixed settlements and will also build fixed residences, but they prefer grazing livestock to cultivating land for planting.

This type of people usually occupies a better geographical location and establishes their own pasture away from the official city. The clan chooses a place with abundant water and grass, or they have the ability and strength to build a village near a commercial road.

This type of people are usually local powerful people. Many of them are grassroots officials in Liangzhou, and they are also the main source of Liangzhou's elite soldiers.

The third category is more troublesome. They are Han nomads who retain quite strong foreign customs. They chase water and grass for grazing, wander around in the four seasons, and sometimes even stop and settle outside the border.

This type of people accounted for a large proportion in Liangzhou, providing Liangzhou with a large share of the output of war horses, and making greater use of Liangzhou's natural resources, bringing more cattle and sheep production to this bitter cold land.

.

As far as Liangzhou is concerned, although they are always surrounded by fights and rebellions, the government actually pays more attention to them than the settled farmers.

Liangzhou likes to raise livestock. In addition to the so-called bitter cold, raising livestock can bring more wealth than farming.

There is no shortage of merchants in Liangzhou. Although it is chaotic, most people will not rob merchants casually. This is because merchants allow them to exchange livestock for money, food, weapons, daily necessities, etc. This kind of replacement will

Wealth that farming can never achieve.

Nomads are greedy and gamble their lives, while farming is mediocre and disaster-resistant. That's the only difference.

In the Liangzhou rebellion initiated by Beigong Boyu, many powerful groups in the second category would provide funding to the rebels in order to avoid trouble and harassment. The nomadic groups in the third category will inevitably become the main source of rebel soldiers.

.

Most of the rebels are not interested in farming. For them, there is no need to attack cities and occupy land. It is rare for someone to gather troops. If they can kill those powerful tribes that have occupied the land with abundant water and grass for a long time, it is already a profit.

This has also led to the fact that in the months since the rebellion, the powerful families in the southeastern Liangzhou area from Jincheng to Fufeng have not experienced massacres and can still occupy pastures to maintain normal lives. At least they have some unclear relationship with the rebels.

These things can be said to be on the surface. But again, as long as the flag of rebellion is not raised, the Han military officials cannot clean up the powerful forces in these places.

Because for the people here in Liangzhou, they will listen to whoever has a big fist and can threaten them. This has been an unspoken rule that has been formed in Liangzhou for a long time.

Regarding this Liangzhou rebellion, the official army's fists are not small. Unfortunately, compared to the rebels who can "justifiably" act recklessly, the official army has no ability to threaten the local powerful.

However, Liu Cang pulled out a group of ferocious beasts at the right time, which made up for this shortcoming quite well.

Wolves roam Liangzhou! Countless wolves have silenced the people here who admire wolf nature.

Liu Cang's so-called beast disaster made many people hate and fear the beasts brought by Liu Cang, but what is even more frightening is that these beasts are out of control.

The herd of beasts walking under the sun is at best a wild deterrent.

But if these ferocious beasts get out of control, when they hide in the dark and are dominated by their own animal nature and run around wantonly, then it will be a real terror for people who mainly focus on herding animals.

This has also led to a very strange phenomenon in this rebel area, that is, people know that they are being threatened by Liu Cang, but they inevitably do not want anything to happen to Liu Cang, and sincerely hope that he can control the ferocious beasts under his command.

Liangzhou has a vast territory and is sparsely populated. Compared with the millions of people in other states and counties, the total population in this vast land is only four to five million.

The people here are very fierce, but their ability to deal with large groups of ferocious beasts is even weaker.

Are tigers, bears, and wolves so easy to control? Just raise one or two. How dare you bring out such a big group!

In people's conventional wisdom, that bastard Liu Haoxuan is playing with fire!

The imperial court officials did not care about Liu Cang's control of the beasts. The people of Liangzhou were worried that the beasts would get out of control, but they hoped that Liu Cang would live a long life. Well, at least he would live a long life before he left Liangzhou with his ferocious beasts.

And Liu Cang was indeed using animals to control animals. Regardless of whether they harmed people or not, after the wolf disaster, the ferocious beasts in the local area were gone anyway. He was really encircling and suppressing the beasts that harmed people all over the world.

Liu Cang confiscated the livestock, but it seems that after the wolves, tigers and leopards around the pasture were cleared, even if he surrendered his share, it seemed that the livestock production could increase this year?

This is a bit of a joke. Some people hate Liu Cang with itching teeth, and some people hate Liu Cang. It seems that they suddenly don’t know what to hate?

The Yuzi Gorge Wild Wolf Valley was leveled, and the wolf plague pursued by Liu Cang seemed to have expanded a lot.

The vultures disappeared from Qiumeng Mountain, and Liu Cang added three hundred vultures to his collection of birds. Even some of Liu Cang's slave soldiers' war horses had ugly and ferocious vultures squatting on their butts.

At the same time, the two places are rich in water and grass, but they are vast and dangerous places that cannot be used by humans due to the indestructible ferocious beasts, making them real treasures.

Within half a month, more than 50 private fights involving more than 100 people occurred in the two places, resulting in thousands of casualties.

In the end, the five larger nomadic tribes decided to settle in the two places and were willing to offer a certain amount of livestock to Liu Cang every year as a reward for Liu Cang's righteous deeds of eliminating harm to the people.

This kind of beast is difficult to get rid of, and there are countless dangerous places where the beasts live in Liangzhou.

As a result, Liu Cang was wandering around outside for two months chasing the wolf disaster, and the call for counter-rebellion in Liangzhou was rising. The rebels should go to hell!

The imperial city of Luoyang.

He Jin was a little confused. The military report came out of Qinchuan, Liangzhou, and there were people gathering troops in the street pavilion, wanting to show their loyalty, and there was some tendency to spontaneously attack the thieves.

Most of the elite cavalry of the imperial court are still staying in Hedong. If you don't graze and cultivate the land, why are you just joining in the fun?

Liu Hong was also a little confused. Why were the rebels forced back to the Jincheng area?

He was also planning to discuss with He Jin the establishment of the Eighth Battalion of Xiyuan in another six months, under the pretext of being unlucky in attacking thieves.

The family of hundreds of officials was shocked. They searched all over the world for information about Liu's dragon-controlling skills, but to no avail. Many court officials petitioned Liu Hong to issue an edict, strictly prohibiting Liu Cang from returning to the hinterland of the Central Plains with his herds of beasts.

It can't really be said that everyone is targeting Liu Cang. Seeing that the wolves that Liu Cang is "chasing" are probably close to tens of thousands, no one knows how many ferocious beasts he can control and how long he can control them? People in Liangzhou

People in the Central Plains are also afraid of ferocious beasts getting out of control.

Bian Zhang, Han Sui, Beigong Boyu and other rebel leaders are relatively simple and simply crazy.

In two months, with good food, good drinks and good service, the number of rebels from more than 100,000 turned into 50,000. There was no fighting, and they all ran away.

Do you want to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister? Is it good to plunder the Central Plains?

Damn you! It’s easy to say anything else, but what do you mean by going home to catch an adulterer!? You guys should rebel against me!

Regardless of the reaction from the outside world, Liu Cang has not returned to the military camp for a long time. Because he had to take care of food, drink, and accompanying a large group of cattle and sheep, Liu Cang always thought that his march was too slow and there were too few places to wander around.

At this time, Liu Cang had just wandered around Tianshui Lake. The terrain here was full of mountains and ravines. Hearing that ferocious tigers often appeared here, Liu Cang planned to add some new blood to his tiger group, which had grown to 300.

It seems that there are too many wolves in his family, and Liu Cang is not sure whether he should change their staple food to wolf meat.
