All preparations for going to the Central Plains are in place, the factory is at full capacity, and the construction progress bar is rising every day. Other leaders in Hongzhou also started to deal with the refugees in Sanmiao in an orderly manner under the arrangements of Yuzai and other big leaders. take over.
What is more uncomfortable is the person in charge of the registration office. They have to register many Sanmiao people from Dongting Lake every day. Among them are reform-through-labor prisoners and people who have listened to Azai's slander and come to Hongzhou to seek a way to make a living. One group was the Sanmiao tribe who had defected to Hongzhou before the war.
A group of tribal people, such as the Benyun tribe, surrendered to Hongzhou on the battlefield and are now waiting for resettlement. There is certainly no shortage of land. Although the quality is high or low, the people in the registration office are based on their contributions on the battlefield. , to determine the quality of the acquired land, most of the original Miao tribes had no objection.
Not only are you respected for your strength, your fist is big, so your contribution is outstanding, so you get what you want. This is a matter of course, and this time on the battlefield, except for the Benyun tribe who took the initiative to surrender, other tribes It can be said that they were all defeated. Now they feel that surrendering so quickly is still beneficial. Look, not only do they not have to be prisoners of labor reform, but they can also be allocated land.
These situations were naturally seen by other Miao people who were reform-through-labor prisoners. Some people sighed with great contempt: "In the war, they abandoned their ancestors and left their king, and they surrendered only after being slightly oppressed by the other party. In this way, It’s ridiculous that spineless people can get their share of freedom in this rich land.”
As soon as the man finished speaking, he was stopped by his companions who covered his mouth and said, "Okay, don't say it anymore. The water in this kind of words is too deep for you to grasp. Delete it." Let me post...
"You can't say this randomly. If you want to say it, everyone should give their opinions together. I heard that reform-through-labor prisoners in Hongzhou can also express dissatisfaction with policies. Of course, they only have the right to make suggestions. Whether others listen or not is someone else's business. But this phenomenon, I think we should tell the leaders of Hongzhou."
These Miao people were very unconvinced and made some commotion. They soon arrived at the Hongzhou Warrior Group, which was enforcing the law. Some Miao people expressed their opinions on these warrior groups, saying that these people have no backbone. You gave them land and production tools, although they did not They are not given any real wealth, but they can still get what they want with their hands, and then live a happy life.
The soldiers in Hongzhou burst out laughing after hearing this:
"Don't we reward those who surrender, but those of you who fight to the death? We admire your spirit, but if you fall into our hands, we dare not be too kind to you!"
Those shackled warriors from Sanmiao said angrily: "We fell into the hands of the enemy. We didn't expect to live well. To put it harshly, we wanted to save our lives in the end, but these people, They have neither the courage to fight to the death nor loyalty to the monarch. If everyone is like them, they will be like weeds blown by the wind. They will fall to whichever side is stronger!"
"This is a bone without a foothold, so the grass bends easily. People cannot do this. Don't Hongzhou people pride themselves on being benevolent, righteous, and moral standards? How can we allow these opportunistic people with no loyalty at all to obtain the best land and get the best land?" Where is the abundant wealth?”
The protest of the Sanmiao warriors spread quickly. After hearing this, the warrior commanders of the Hongzhou Legion thought it was reasonable, so they told these Sanmiao warriors that they would report this opinion to the big leaders above. report.
The faces of those who surrendered changed. Some people glared at these former compatriots and shouted loudly: "These people followed the stupid monarch, so they suffered many defeats and killed many of their companions. We also followed that stupid monarch." That’s why he was defeated. Now that we follow the wise monarch, how can we turn our backs on the wise and take refuge in the foolish!”
"It's just that you can't see us living well. People are always like this. In the past, people from big tribes looked down on people from small tribes, and you couldn't see the small tribes living comfortably. Once the small tribes had no worries about food and clothing, the people from the big tribes would That must be conquered and plundered!”
"We didn't want to die needlessly, so we surrendered, and the land distribution was a promise we made when we surrendered. We know that the people of Hongzhou are trustworthy and benevolent, so we sincerely surrendered!"
"If a country does not respect trust and benevolence, and jails and detains warriors who have taken refuge in the past, or suppresses and ostracizes them, only if this happens will they become what you call a walleye, everyone. It’s all about survival. If you weren’t afraid of death, you would have died in front of Baling City and rushed to the cannon. We saw someone doing this at the time, what about you?”
These words were also well-founded, and the faces of the Sanmiao reform-through-labor soldiers suddenly turned red and they were furious.
A shouting match broke out among the Miao people, but no one took action. The quarrel was just fierce. The Hongzhou soldiers separated the two groups, and then the people in charge of the registration office did not divide the land among these Miao people. Registered.
The matter got serious, and someone came over to ask if it was the labor reform prisoners who were causing trouble and were uncooperative and had a bad tone. The soldiers from Sanmiao stood up and responded that they were not making trouble, but were giving a reminder to the people of Hongzhou.
"The suggestion is very good, but it is a bit redundant. Since Hongzhou has accepted these surrenders, Hongzhou will naturally use them. Don't worry, those who don't want to fight will naturally disarm and return to their fields.... Oh no, you don't have armor."
The visitor was very casual and asked the people at the registration office to continue working. The faces of the Sanmiao soldiers changed, while the Miao people who surrendered in advance looked happy.
Look, if those who surrender to help don't get the treatment they deserve, then who will dare to seek refuge with you in the future?
In fact, this is exactly what happened. When Yu Zai heard about this incident, he also commented on it in the same way.
"Of course those who surrender must be given good comfort and correct policies, otherwise they will think that Hongzhou is suppressing them and is just using them and throwing them away after they are used up. It is neither benevolent nor virtuous, let alone trustworthy. Only in this way can they It will make them even more disloyal, and it will also bring bad reputation to us."
"In a battle, being able to induce a group of people from the other side to surrender is actually one of the best strategies in war. This is the secret to winning more battles without losing any blood. If the other side knows that we are not good to the surrendered legions, we will oppress and Detain them or even torture and kill them, then the enemy will take this opportunity to rally their morale."
"The enemy knows that surrendering will lead to a bad life and may even lead to death, so it is better to stay in the tribe and fight for the best. In this way, they will fight to the death and our war will be difficult to fight."
Yu Zai asked Chu Qin: "After you dealt with this matter, did the soldiers of Sanmiao have any special reaction?"
Chu Qin responded: "Their hatred for those who surrendered seemed to be even deeper."
Yu Zai smiled: "Then the relationship between these two groups of people is completely over. From now on, when we see each other, we have to spit before leaving and say respectable people to each other."
"This batch of reform-through-labor soldiers is good. One thing they said is right, that is, they should do what they should do. Although these soldiers also wanted to survive, they surrendered under our coercion, inducement and oppression. But the most important thing is Emperor Bai Miao... This is the core figure of our capture of Baling, and he is now a distinguished guest in Hongzhou. Feed him good food and drink, and don't let him leave the courtyard."
"Hongzhou's new culture cannot be seen in three to five days. I thought, why don't we invite him to be a guest for three to five years first, and then let him go back after we have transformed the social conditions of the Sanmiao people. "
"Not talking about Emperor Bai Miao, let's talk about the previous group of warriors. From their actions and words, I can understand that they are all the same people as leader Benyun. That is, no matter how bad the monarch treats him, he will There is always an identity, and he knows that he is a member of Sanmiao, even though Sanmiao is a collection of many tribes, but Sanmiao has become a people, and they are Miao people."
"So, if you have to fight for the name of Sanmiao, fight for Dongting and Baling, even if you fail, it will be because of 'why did your majesty surrender first?' Such warriors are so good. They are so rare even with lanterns. They know why they are fighting, and they know the meaning and dignity of fighting. Even if they fail, it is not because of their own collapse, but because of the incompetence of the monarch."
"Even a monarch like Emperor Bai Miao can use them so bravely. If they are in my hands, they will be the best vanguard army in the world."
Chu Qin's eyes moved: "So, you want to use them? What about this new reform-through-labor village? The original reform-through-labor village can no longer accommodate so many prisoners. Now the productivity of the reform-through-labor village is almost the same as ours in Hongzhou. People’s productivity is about the same.”
Yu Zai also nodded:
"We have defeated too many people over the years. You came late and don't have a deep understanding of this. This village was a centralized management center from the beginning. At the beginning, it detained the 10,000 or 20,000 people from the Diyou clan. Later, Diyou left. , Xu Ao came; Xu Ao left, and the refugees from the mountains and fields came; the refugees from the mountains and fields left, and the Ba people and Jinyun came, one after another."
"The two newly opened villages still have mixed residents. Part of the Ba and Jinyun people moved there and mixed with the people of Sanmiao. This ensures that their residences are in small circles, where seven or eight people can live in groups and have mutual understanding. Take care of each other, but don’t form a big circle..."
"And tell them that the holy bear who sells fish will also go to the new village to sell goods. Tell them not to worry."
Ruan Zai thought about the recent events. Sanmiao was an emergency. Others, including social policies, were also in the process of reform here. However, the large iron smelting plant was quite busy, so he couldn't spare time. Tomorrow was a mobilization lecture. , I have to prepare myself well so as not to talk too much when the time comes.
"It just so happens that this time I go to the Central Plains and I have to take the assessment. I have asked Ehuang to help me prepare various forms accumulated over the years, but most of them are bamboo slips and mud boards. If I go to the Central Plains, I guess I can only bring The previous part on paper...Zhongyuan’s assessment policy is very good, and now it’s mine.”
Yu Zai decided to directly transfer and use the assessment policy from the Central Plains. The operation of a large society is like a large machine. The operation of the machine will gradually produce errors. At this time, manual control is required. The change and implementation of the policy are In this way, new policies are constantly injected to maintain the vitality of society and suppress the birth of corruption. Although it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, it is better than no treatment at all.
For the rest, take your time. One bite will not make you fat. One of the best things about this era is that the per capita moral level is high and the leaders of all walks of life have strong self-control. In history, in fact, Yao and Shun The politics of the three generations of Yu were relatively clear, at least on the surface. Bocheng Zigao even retreated from his fiefdom. Of course, Bocheng Zigao also said that in the three generations of Yao, Shun and Yu, people's moral standards were in a state of continuous decline. Evil deeds also continued to increase. By the time Qi established the Xia Dynasty and even during the Taikang period, most monarchs and nobles were completely addicted to hedonism.

Regarding the relocation of the people in the reform-through-labor village, Yuzai knew that they did not have much resistance, because part of it had already been moved out before, and a group of people there only cared about whether the bear pushing the truck would come.
Speaking of the Holy Bear, due to the booming business recently, the Holy Bear is busy purchasing and selling goods every day. He hangs out in Hongzhou all year round, dealing with various gods and men, and occasionally goes to the pharmacy to buy some herbal medicine for free. Therefore, it has now become The sacred bear of the strange beast began to expand its business.
Holy Bear is planning with Luo Luo to trick Tianhu, who works as a gatekeeper at the farmer's market, into the business and ask the fox to purchase goods for them at wholesale market prices. Of course, the goods purchased from the fox are all vegetables and the like.
Tianhu was guarding the market, but a bear and a green-haired tiger found him... Of course Tianhu knew these two people, and after a warm conversation, Luo Luo said that they wanted to develop Fox as a downline and become a new supplier......
Tianhu's eyes suddenly brightened up. He thought of something happy and mentioned the salesman of the adult country. He said that since he wanted to develop, he should not stick to small shops. It is very popular among the human race to open factories recently. He didn't know about these strange beasts. Is it possible?
Luo Luo made a question mark.
What are you doing, you want to be the director of a meat factory? The livestock station would come to beat people, and I occasionally stole pigs in the past few years. They still remembered these things, and they didn't like me very much.
Tianhu said, you open a big factory, I will find wholesale food for you, and I will help you shout when you turn around. The fox's cry is very unique, and the phrase "Da Chu Xing King Chen Sheng" will definitely attract people. There are many people, and it just so happens that they don’t want to be guards anymore.
I have been guarding the door of the vegetable market for ten years. My wife is guarding the top of the mountain and is the boss, but I can only guard the door at the entrance of the vegetable market. I can't even raise my head at home.
Tianhu persuaded them and lied to them, how great it would be to open a factory. It was the first factory for alien animals. Who said that only humans can open a factory? They have lived here for so many years, so opening a factory for animals is not that shocking, right? Let me tell you, who is still self-employed now? How can you, a self-employed person, compete with big companies?
We should aim at the big mill in Hongzhou and strive to surpass it!
