Lu Xuan returned to the palace to rest and had some free time.
On the other side, Guo Jia is fine for the time being. When he is free, Guo Jia can go drink and listen to music, or go to the Goulan place in Hua's City.
Cao Cao was busy, quickly adjusting the private soldiers of the nobles in the Western Regions.
The nobles of the Western Regions were quite resistant to the disbandment of private soldiers. They felt that the emperor was crossing the river and burning bridges, but no one stood up to oppose it.
On the one hand, the three largest nobles in the Western Regions, Pudan, Chanshu and Abeluo, have been arranged by Lu Xuan. Each of them can serve as an official, their respective families can also benefit, and they are all willing to give up private soldiers.
On the other hand, Lu Xuan's army was so strong that no one dared to explode.
Finally, this time, the disbandment of the private soldiers of the nobles in the Western Regions was a benefit to the soldiers. If you go back to Xizhou, you can have land and receive preferential treatment. If you stay in Tianzhu, you can have your own land, be given a certain amount of money, and take Tianzhu women at will, so you can live a good life.
As a result, some people are not happy, but they can only admit it.
The private soldiers of the nobles of the Western Regions were constantly being demobilized.
At the same time, the merits of the nobles of the Western Regions and their respective official positions are constantly being arranged to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
In fact, Cao Cao's arrangements for the nobles of the Western Regions had some conflicts with Xun Yu's responsibility in the rear. However, Lu Xuan authorized Cao Cao to arrange them, and he continued to arrange them. How Xun Yu will adjust in the future will be discussed later.
When Cao Cao arranged it smoothly, Lu Yu and Jia Xu quickly detained all the family members and women of the Brahmin and Kshatriya nobles.
There are as many as 23,000 women under control.
Some of them were the family members of the Brahmins and Kshatriya nobles who had been killed earlier. In addition, there are also a large number of family members left behind by the Brahmin and Kshatriya nobles who have fled.
After all, many noble monks took advantage of the chaos and fled Huashi City.
More than 23,000 people are controlled, which is not a small number. There were women of Kshatriya and Brahmin origin, and in fact there were many women of Vaisya and Sudra origin, all of whom were forcibly snatched back by Indian nobles.
Lu Yu and Jia Xu walked around and learned about all the women before returning to where they lived.
The look on Lu Yu's face was a little sad.
His expression was even more serious.
Lu Yu looked at Jia Xu and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jia, I have doubts in my heart."
Jia Xu raised his eyebrows.
He glanced at Lu Yu, noticed Lu Yu's posture, had a rough guess, and felt deeply about the emperor's arrangement. This time, it can be regarded as the emperor's test for Lu Yu, and he deliberately let Lu Yu come into contact with these.
Jia Xu's expression remained unchanged and he said, "What doubts does the prince have?"
Lu Yu said in a deep voice: "About Brahmin and Kshatriya women, all of them look miserable. I don't think it's appropriate for such women to be casually assigned to the army and become other people's playthings."
Jia Xu thought as expected.
The prince is young, only in his teens, and cannot understand many things thoroughly.
In addition, it is normal to be young and not cruel.
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Why does the prince think that they have become just playthings?"
Lu Yu said: "Their family members have been executed, and they feel pain in their hearts. At this time, the government can leave them alone and let them live their own lives. But now, they are forcibly assigned to soldiers, aren't they reduced to playthings? "
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "The prince is wrong!"
Lu Yu still insisted on his opinion and said, "Sir, please give me some advice."
Jia Xu did not directly explain the wives and concubines of the Indian nobles. Instead, he sorted it out from the beginning and said slowly: "The prince thinks it is right to kill all the men of the Brahmin and Kshatriya nobles this time?"
"Naturally correct."
Lu Yu answered without thinking.
To control Tianzhu, it is impossible to eliminate these noble monks of Tianzhu who bully the good and exploit the people.
They must be killed cleanly.
Jia Xu smiled happily and continued to ask: "Since the prince agrees with the killing, everything will be easy to handle. The prince thought that after killing the noble monks of Tianzhu, all the family members should be dismissed. Little did he know that if these people were left behind and allowed to leave, they would be left behind. There is a hidden danger.”
Lu Yu asked: "What are the hidden dangers?"
Jia Xu replied: "The prince thinks of releasing all women and letting them be free, but he forgets that the vast majority of women here have become the wives of Brahmins and Kshatriyas and are pampered. How many of them can support themselves? "
“Everyone has clothes to put out his hands and food to eat and his mouth to open, can he cultivate the land?”
"If a person is not diligent about his four limbs and cannot distinguish between grains and grains, how can he carry firewood for cooking?"
"Every one of them will die if they don't touch the spring water with their fingers. If you throw her out, they will have to fend for themselves. The vast majority of them may become women in the land of hooks."
Jia Xu's words were very direct.
Lu Yu's expression changed slightly after hearing this.
This was the most tragic thing he had witnessed while following Jia Xu, and it had a great impact on him. He knows about farming, the sufferings of the people, the county magistrate who has lost his family, and many problems in being an official.
When I saw these women today, I felt unbearable and felt that the treatment was inappropriate.
Jia Xu's words revealed everything.
It will be worse if you let it out.
Jia Xu looked at Lu Yu's appearance, his expression was as usual, and he said calmly: "The prince thinks these people should be released, but he forgets their ability to survive. This is one of them."
"Secondly, the prince is the prince of the Ming Dynasty. He is never an ordinary person and cannot have the emotions of ordinary people, because you must consider the overall situation. More often, you have to put aside all emotions to deal with things."
"For example, all the noble women this time."
"These people are arranged into the army and distributed to all the soldiers who come to fight. Although it cannot completely satisfy everyone, it can satisfy some meritorious people. Those who have made the most merits will be given priority, which will inspire more soldiers."
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Soldiers marrying wives and having children, and being able to settle down in Tianzhu is equivalent to settling in Tianzhu. For the Ming Dynasty, there will be more children of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be descendants of the Ming Dynasty."
"This is the most reliable person."
"In addition, after absorbing Brahmin and Kshatriya women, as they gave birth to children, even if there was hatred in their hearts towards the Ming Dynasty, as time went by, as the family members grew more and more, there were concerns and hatred. It will slowly dissipate.”
"Because they have to look forward."
"They have to think about their children."
"That's how it is said that one day a couple's kindness will last a hundred days."
"From appeasing the army to eliminating hidden dangers in Tianzhu, it is a cost-effective thing to arrange these noble women."
Jia Xu's eyes became more and more serious, and he said loudly: "The prince, if you can't suppress this reluctance, you will face more and more complicated things in the future, and you will be even more unable to deal with them."
"When the prince reads history books, he should take history as a mirror and consider it based on his own situation."
"Benevolence and righteousness are necessary."
"However, the prince's benevolence and righteousness are for the people of the Ming Dynasty all over the world, and for the entire Ming Dynasty. They are not benevolent to a certain person, or to benefit foreign people, ignoring the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty."
"For example, this time, if all the aristocratic women are sent away, firstly, they will have to fend for themselves and end up miserable. Secondly, there will always be some people who have the ability and will escape, and will pass on their hatred for the Ming Dynasty after having children. , it will pose a threat to Ming Dynasty in the future."
Jia Xu solemnly said: "The current arrangement is the most appropriate."
After hearing this, Lu Yu let out a long breath, cupped his hands and said, "Lu Yu has learned from what you said."
Jia Xu chuckled and shook his head and said: "The number of noble women has been counted. Next, we need to count the military merits. Please summon Huang Zhong, Guan Yu and other generals to count the soldiers who have made meritorious deeds, including the Qiang soldiers, according to their merits." Arrange women according to their level."
Lu Yu immediately started making arrangements.
He summoned Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and others, asked about the merit list of the war in Tianzhu, and listed all those who had made meritorious deeds. Although there are many people who have not made any meritorious service, what these people want to arrange is random arrangement.
In just three days, Lu Yu completed the arrangements for all the noble women.
As this group of women was arranged, the army became excited.
This is the first time.
Lu Xuan led the troops to fight, and he never assigned women during the war. Now, the soldiers who had made meritorious deeds were given women, and they were all excited.
As a result, there was a lot of discussion in the army.
Some soldiers secretly regretted that they had not been able to achieve military exploits. If they had achieved military exploits, they would not have been single while watching their comrades have women.
The morale of the army was rising steadily.
Especially when arranging women, Lu Yu specifically explained that in the subsequent battle against Tianzhu and the capture of Tianzhu noble women, priority will still be given to them based on merit, and those who have made great contributions will get women.
As a result, the soldiers were looking forward to the upcoming war, hoping to make meritorious deeds, and thinking about getting women in the future.
After Lu Yu made all arrangements, he went to see Lu Xuan and reported the arrangement. He finally said: "Father, the soldiers are asking for a battle and hope to seize the time to go south to fight. The morale of the army is completely boiling."
Lu Xuan looked approvingly and said, "What you did this time was very good."
Lu Yu said: "Father, you are very grateful."
Lu Xuan continued: "Next, I will go south to attack the city and plunder the land. There will be many battles and there will be opportunities for the soldiers to perform meritorious service. Next, I will sit in Huashi City and will not go south in person. You can go south with Jia Xu to have a look, because Vietnam As you go south, the climate in Tianzhu becomes more different, so go see more and learn more."
"Here!"
Lu Yu answered again.
He turned and left.
In the next arrangement, Cao Cao finished adjusting the troops in the Western Regions and dismissed the soldiers as common people. Some stayed in Tianzhu and some went back.
The nobles of the Western Regions all serve in Tianzhu.
The army was adjusted, the caste system was abolished, and all the Brahmin and Kshatriya nobles in Huashi City were killed. Everything was on the right track.
Ten days later, all adjustments in Fahrenheit City were completed.
Lu Xuan stayed in Huashi City, Xu Chu stayed with the imperial army, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, Xiahou Dun, Ma Chao and other generals all separated and went south to raid various places in the south.
When the war against southern Tianzhu was in full swing, Lu Xuan once again arranged for people to go north to Lanshi City and informed Xun Yu to go south, and to transfer Xun Yu to Huashi City to preside over government affairs.
During this period, Lu Xuan received a letter from Zhuge Xuan in the court. Zhuge Xuan and Gu Yong chose Gu Xi, Gu Yong's clan sister.
Zhuge Xuan also sent a portrait in his letter.
I drew Gu Xi’s appearance.
Lu Xuan looked at it and had no impression. After all, there were many people in the Gu family, and Gu Xi was Gu Yong's clan sister, not his biological sister. Lu Xuan thought the portrait was good, so he wrote a special letter and arranged for it to be sent to Qiancheng in the Western Region together with the portrait.
