Chapter 145 Big Man Doesn't Need Useless People

Zhang Yuan found that he had no idea what these people were thinking now, and didn't even want to know?

"Zhang Xingren, as a civil servant, you may not know His Majesty's views on foreigners.

The reason why killing the Huns has the highest military exploits is entirely because victory is too difficult.

If no one loses the Yelang Kingdom, His Majesty will only think that Yelang people are animals waiting to be slaughtered.

unless"

"Unless what?"

"Unless there is a general who comes to attack Yelang first, and ends up without a problem, or even the entire army is wiped out, making His Majesty mistakenly think that Yelang is rich and powerful, and then I will take over Yelang, and the title of Marquis will definitely not be a problem."

Tang Meng still thinks too beautifully, even if there is a way to deceive others, Zhang Yuan will not make fun of the lives of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and will not allow others to use the lives of these soldiers as a stepping stone for his promotion.

"I will not back down. The entire mission knows that I proposed to count the population of Yelang, and His Majesty will eventually know.

If I am not firm in my stand, I must be the one who suffers in the end.

As for what you should do to solve these things, that's not my business. "

Zhang Yuan no longer wanted to continue this meaningless argument with Tang Meng.

Tang Meng's eyes were full of pity. He wanted to continue persuading Zhang Yuan, but he still didn't spit out the words that had reached his mouth.

After bidding farewell to Tang Meng, Zhang Yuan found Ji Fu directly and told him everything.

The only person here who can guarantee that no accidents will happen to Zhang Yuan after he returns to Chang'an is Ji Fu.

After hearing about Tang Meng's plan to use Baiyue tribe women to expand the population of Yelang Kingdom, Ji Fu also felt that Tang Meng's idea was good, but he felt that after doing this, there would be more big men in decades. Lots of slaves available for corvee.

No matter which side of the big Han said that this is not a slave society, slaves have also been replaced by various other names.

Servants, maidservants, etc.

But the fact that they can be bought and sold shows that this is a slave.

Those in power cannot accept slaves, but they cannot do without people to serve them, so slaves existed in China until the nineteenth century.

But now when Zhang Yuan proposed to use foreigners to bear all this, everyone can accept it.

Only with a sufficient population can this large treasure land be developed.

"The old man has a way to resolve the conflict between you and Tang Meng, and it won't interfere with you, it will only transfer the pressure to him."

Ji Fu's IQ is much higher than Zhang Yuan's, and his brain turns faster, which Zhang Yuan does not deny.

Zhang Yuan's advantage is that he is a time traveler, and there is a system that brings him various things that are beyond this era.

"Now that Mr. Jifu has an idea, let's talk about it."

"It is imperative to count the population and household registration, and forcibly divide the people of Yelang into five households, and every five people will get one person to bear the corvee.

Even if these five people are all women, he, Tang Meng, has to capture a man for the big man to undertake the corvee.

When the population is counted in the future, even if the population of Yelang country increases, the increase will only be women and children, and it will be strictly marked at that time.

Your Majesty and nobles in the court will not be wary of women and children, so you and Tang Meng will have no practical conflicts. As for where Tang Meng goes to arrest people and who to use to arrest people, that is his business. "

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes in their sockets, and soon understood Ji Fu's intention.

"Sir, do you want Tang Meng to capture people and form a slave army to attack the Dian Kingdom and the Ailao Kingdom?"

Ji Fu looked at Zhang Yuan with childish eyes.

"That's right, since he wants to be a Marquis, it would be too easy to just guard the Yelang Kingdom.

Lieutenant General Lang and Chief Shi of the Army both have the right to form an army of slaves several times their own. The three counties of Bashu will definitely not produce this person again. Since Tang Meng is stationed in Yelang, he can only conquer here. As long as the dead person is not my Han nationality, then it has nothing to do with us.

Wouldn't it be the best way for Guochao to be able to reap all of this without having to bear anything. "

Zhang Yuan likes Jifu like this, but maybe for the next ten years, Tang Meng will have to stay in the thousands of mountains in the southwest, suffering from mosquito diseases.

Whether he can survive, Zhang Yuan cannot guarantee.

The Kingdom of Dian and Nanyue were all countries that the army of the Qin Dynasty came here to open up, but the reason why they became weaker and weaker was the geographical difference.

Yelang is still in a semi-open state, and it is still safe. If Zhang Yuan is sent to Dian as an envoy, he will definitely not be willing to do so.

"Okay, I guess after Tang Meng returns to the camp, Huang Changshi will definitely come back to see us, and then let him pass on these ideas to Tang Meng, and we will stop interfering. After Tang Meng knows that the Huang clan also knows, he will force him to Due to the pressure, I had to accept it in the end.”

Ji Fu nodded, accepting Zhang Yuan's statement that he drove the Huang clan members.

Zhang Yuan didn't intervene in everything that followed, until early the next morning, Duotong sent someone to tell Zhang Yuan to let him go out and start counting the household registration population in Yelang Kingdom.

For this reason, all the officials of the mission began to complain, but there was no other way. In order to ensure that the data submitted to Liu Che was true and reliable, the officials of the mission could only conduct the investigation before the court sent new officials. statistics.

Most of the people of Yelang Kingdom live together, and those who are hidden in the mountains cannot be counted as Yelang people. It is also very convenient to count, because the number of people in Yelang Kingdom is not very large.

The half-month period is coming soon, and the officials who count the household registration population from all walks of life have also handed over the data to Zhang Yuan, who will collect it.

"20 households, with a population of almost 4. According to what you said, Mr. Jifu, Tang Meng must arrest at least [-] people to make up for the gap in the number of corvees."

Ji Fu was also busy with Zhang Yuan. When he heard Zhang Yuan's words, he smiled.

"Boy, you made a mistake. The 5000 corvées are for official use, and the Huang family needs at least [-] slaves. The old man sees that Tang Meng can't stop this year."

Zhang Yuan nodded after listening.

"If I were, I would never accept such an errand. I would be a doctor and stay at the border, surrounded by weak countries. How comfortable is this kind of life, and I don't worry about other people's sneak attacks or mistakes. Your Majesty You can’t find any trouble if you want to find it.”

Jifu's expression changed, and he raised his voice.

"The big man doesn't raise useless people, he has been at ease for a long time, if His Majesty transfers him to Beisai, what will you do?
If you were not useful to the big man, why would the old man chat with you here. "
