Chapter 682 The villain Zhang Lang

Zhang Lang looked up at the distance and said with some emotion: "Peace and tranquility are a good thing, but it is also a freak. Just like a big tree that can only grow vigorously in blood. Only by constantly watering it with blood can it grow and survive. Haha, it is really ironic to say that peace and tranquility can only survive by relying on corpses and seas of blood! This is like what Taoism says about yin and yang as one! Only yang does not grow, and the two complement each other is the way to lasting survival."

Zhang Chuchen looked thoughtful and nodded. He looked at Zhang Lang and said, "Brother, the Marine has been completely conquered. What should we do next? The army has some opinions, and believes that this bitter and cold place in the extreme north is really of little use. He feels that it should follow the Han Dynasty's practice of migrating the Huns and move all the Marines to the south to choose a place to settle down."

Zhang Lang said angrily: "This concept is short-sighted. How can there be no useful land? Even if it is not suitable for growing food, can't the animal husbandry and forestry industry be developed? In addition, the underground in the north contains countless treasures. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to give up so forth? Furthermore, if the Marine people are moved away, sooner or later, other tribes will settle here to reproduce and reproduce. After the future development and growth, it will still pose a threat to us. The real solution to this problem is to turn this place into our own territory. Of course, to achieve this, the economy here must be developed, otherwise it is not a lasting way to rely on the mainland to replenish blood."

He paused and thought, "To do this, we must first build cities and roads to migrate the people. The people of Marine are unreliable after all. Only after a considerable number of Han people can we truly control this place!" Zhang Chuchen nodded and thought, "What my brother said is very true! It is not difficult to build cities and roads. You can ask those prisoners to do it. Even if there is not enough manpower, it is just supplemented by some migrant workers. But this migrating the people... Brother, I think this is not easy. Everyone lives well, how can they be willing to give up their current prosperous and peaceful life and migrate to this bitter and cold place in the north? You can't force the people to migrate, right?"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Of course, we can't force it. But we can tempt it for profit. Although Liaodong County and its surrounding areas have developed, the problem caused by the rapid increase in population is that many people who rely on agriculture make a living are significantly lower than other people due to the limited land in their hands. These people have no other advantages and can only farm for life. In their eyes, the greatest wealth is land. We can fully introduce relevant policies to grant land. This far north is thousands of miles in radius, and some are wastelands to be reclaimed. Not only can they grant fields, but also forest land and waters. In this way, the income of these people is not limited to crops. The mountain delicacies in the mountains and fish and shrimps in the water can be their source of income. At the same time, we will lead it here as a bridge for the circulation of products. I don't believe that it can't develop here."

Zhang Chuchen couldn't help but say admiration: "Brother's idea is really clever!" Then he said jokingly: "But I'm afraid that if this happens, the eldest brother will have another sin in the Confucian scholar!" Zhang Lang asked in confusion: "What sin?" Zhang Chuchen smiled and said: "They will say that the eldest brother values ​​profit rather than righteousness and good fortune but not virtue!" Zhang Lang laughed and said: "This is indeed what they can say!" Then he said sarcastically: "There is no empty righteousness and so-called morality in the world. The real righteousness is the interests of most people. Leaving the interests and talking about so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality is simply fart!" Zhang Chuchen could not help but smile, and then gave Zhang Lang a look, as if he was blaming him for saying swear words.

At this moment, Feixu rode his horse and ran towards him. When the two heard the sound of horse hooves, they couldn't help but stop and turn around. Feixu grabbed the horse, turned over, and clasped his fists at Zhang Lang and said, "The king, the patriarchs of the Hei Shui tribe, the Bodu tribe, and the Sumo tribe are all here, waiting to pay homage to the king!"

Zhang Lang's actions in Marinha quickly spread throughout the world. People were talking about this in the restaurants and teahouses in Chang'an. However, few people said good things. Just as Zhang Chuchen had expected, all the Confucian scholars and scholars were heartbroken and hatred to the so-called unwilling crimes committed by Zhang Lang in Marinha.

An old Confucian scholar said in anger: "What Zhang Lang did is really outrageous! He launched a random war and killed all the people of the whole clan, and men, women, young and old, chickens and dogs! If this thief is not dead, what is the law of nature?" The Confucian scholars around him nodded and agreed, and they all looked indignant. A young Confucian scholar said in anger: "As the saying goes, even if a country is big, it will be destroyed if it is wary! This thief is not only wary, but also so cruel. I believe that the day of defeat is not far away!" Everyone agreed and scolded Zhang Lang. In fact, this situation is normal. Confucianism is a pathological anti-war school, not only opposing the outside world.

War, and even if foreign tribes fight, they often do not advocate responding through war means, but rather resolve through peaceful means. In the face of the massive invasion of Jin Dynasty during the Song Dynasty, many people did not understand why most of the people in the Song Dynasty were still in charge of peace. In fact, these people who were charge of peace were not all cowardly, but were mainly influenced by the Confucian concept of peace and rebellion. The reason why Yue Fei was killed was perhaps the emperor, but the cultural root was the Confucian anti-war. They believed that Yue Fei's strong initiative to fight was the root of trouble. The so-called "take-back" and the sea widened the sky, this is the Confucian concept.

It's a long way to go, and get back to the point. After Zhang Lang handled the matter of Mart, he left only 10,000 troops to guard Heishui City. He himself led a large army and brought tens of thousands of Martial warriors from various tribes back to Liaodong County. Why did Zhang Lang bring these Martial warriors back to Liaodong County? It turned out that Zhang Lang wanted to reorganize these Martial warriors, just like he did to the Turks. He wanted these men to become trustworthy forces, rather than ungrateful wolves who could bite him back at any time.
