Wuwei.
The people have become numb, and they are about to witness the city changing hands again.
However, this time the owners of the city were changed from Qiang people to Han people.
The young people are still lifeless, like a walking zombie, more like eating and waiting to die.
"Your Majesty... Liangzhou has always been looked down upon by the imperial court."
"What's more, there are many Qiang and Hu people who are constantly causing chaos. The court always sends troops to quell the chaos."
"This hatred of Qiang and Hu has also spread to the people of Liangzhou over time."
Zhang Ji sighed. After he went to Jincheng, he realized the suffering of the people in Liangzhou.
They have lost hope of life!
The nobles were not allowed to serve as officials in the court, let alone the common people, who had no chance of getting ahead.
"So much so that no matter who rules Liangzhou, it doesn't matter to the people."
"I hope the prince can change Liangzhou's predicament!"
"Duan Xuan and Dong Zhuo are cruel! Ma Teng is gentle! Han Sui is unkind!"
"The only one who can bring peace to Liangzhou is the Crown Prince!"
Zhang Ji bowed and saluted, showing his passionate love for the land of Liangzhou.
Unfortunately, he was alone and weak. This time he went to Jincheng to patrol, but he also carried the imperial court on his back.
Otherwise, he would not have met Liu Mang by chance.
"De Rong please get up quickly."
Liu Mang said with relief: "Now, I plan to give the young people in Liangzhou a chance to get ahead!"
Zhang was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, but then he realized something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, your compulsory education will last at least nine years!"
"It seems like this group of young people can't keep up, right?"
"There is also the so-called examination. There are still many illiterates today..."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhang Ji's eyes.
After all, he was still too embarrassed for Liu Mang!
The people in Wuwei City came to the streets symbolically, waiting for Liu Mang to speak.
Every ruler who first came to power made empty promises, but no one could truly bring them peace.
They don’t ask for much, just to fill their bellies and survive!
"Looking at your appearance now, I really doubt the world's opinion of Liangzhou."
"Here, there are brave and capable Liangzhou cavalry, and I even fought with them against Cao Cao!"
"Cao Cao knows this, right? He's the one who killed the Three Sages with one shot!"
The people of Wuwei were a little confused. According to the routine, shouldn't they be given a pie?
What about those false and empty words?
"Martyrs and military ministers often come from Liangzhou, and their morale is strong, so they learn military skills!"
"You, the walking dead, are worthy of such an evaluation?"
"I used to yearn for Liangzhou, so I wanted to regain Liangzhou as soon as possible and return it to the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Mang sighed: "Until I saw your appearance, all my illusions about Liangzhou were shattered!"
Liu Mang's words made everyone feel ashamed.
There are many martyrs and military ministers from Liangzhou!
No matter how much you despise Dong Zhuo and other Xiliang troops, there is no denying that they are brave and capable generals!
Unfortunately, as time passed, the people of Liangzhou were gradually abandoned by the imperial court and lost their original blood.
As for the Liangzhou people who left, they never thought about changing their hometown or doing anything for the people of Liangzhou.
Jia Xu, who held a high position in the imperial court, had long forgotten his identity as a Liangzhou native.
Even if the Qiang people were to evacuate the county soldiers and allow the Qiang people to cause trouble in Liangzhou, it was still Jia Xu who offered advice to Cao Cao.
"I won't promise you anything."
"In my opinion, whether it is glory, wealth, fame or fortune, you have to strive for it yourself!"
"There are two roads before you now!"
The young people in Liangzhou were so embarrassed by Liu Mang's scolding that they also wanted to know what path the Prince of Hanzhong would give them!
"One is to continue to eat and wait to die, but I will eliminate the Qiang people and bandits and restore peace to Liangzhou!"
"Farming is a way of life. As for taxes, I will exempt you from Liangzhou for three years!"
Tax-free for three years!
Hearing this, the people's eyes couldn't help but light up.
In the past, both Qiang and Han people would only increase taxes to the death!
If the people don't have it, they will transform into wolves, tigers and leopards and start plundering.
Only Liu Mang directly ordered him to be exempted from tax for three years.
"As for the other one, it's to join the army!"
"A soldier's morale is strong, so he can learn military skills! This is by no means an empty talk!"
"A good man, don't you want to face the earth with your back to the sky for the rest of your life?"
Liu Mang's words were like enlightenment, inspiring young people's ambitions.
"It is an honor for you to serve as a soldier, and the court will never treat you badly!"
"Anyone who joins our Han army, their family members are military households! The local government must treat their family members preferentially, respect military households, and is prohibited from plundering civilians from military households, otherwise they will be severely punished."
Liu Mang's move gave the soldiers great respect.
He has lived through nine lives and has seen too many scenes of soldiers and their families being bullied.
It made perfect sense in ancient times that a good man should not be a soldier.
Even in order to recruit soldiers, prisoners will act as soldiers.
Liu Mang wants to change this concept and let the people of Liangzhou and even the people of the world understand that it is glorious to be a soldier!
"The imperial court will exempt military families from corvee taxes! You are glorious soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and your families have the right to live a prosperous life."
Liu Mang's move allowed the military families to gradually accumulate savings and their lives gradually became richer.
In this way, children from poor families will actively sign up to join the army, which will also solve the problem of insufficient soldiers in Liangzhou.
After all, Cao Cao drained the firewood and completely took away the county soldiers in Liangzhou.
"As long as you become a soldier, you don't have to worry about food for your wife, children, and children at home. The imperial court will register you!"
"I will call on officials from all walks of life and local wealthy families to raise money and food for the families of military personnel. I will definitely keep them fed and clothed!"
Liu Mang's move was an opportunity to continue to support military households, and at the same time help poor families who were unable to serve as soldiers.
Liangzhou people are really miserable!
Liu Mang wants to do his best so that everyone can have enough to eat and wear warm clothes!
"When merchants from the Western Regions come, military households will have priority in trading! Even wealthy households will have to be ranked behind military households!"
Where can military families have so many goods to communicate with merchants from the Western Regions?
Liu Mang's move was very simple, let the soldiers and military households have enough to eat, and then give them the greatest respect!
It seems that it doesn't matter who trades first, but it gives the military families dignity and makes them feel the glory of joining the army.
"Look at all of you, you are all sallow and skinny!"
"Why do the Qiang people eat meat and we Han people starve?"
"If you want to join the army, please sign up here. I only give you two days!"
After that, Liu Mang turned and left, but the crowd burst into amazing cheers!
"I'm going to join the army and serve the country!"
"One person joins the army and the whole family has enough to eat. What are you waiting for?"
"Dad! Mom! The child is going to join the army and make our family full of glory!"
Suddenly, countless people joined the army in Wuwei City, and the Han army directly received two thousand recruits!
"The next step is the Hexi region!"
