Chapter 94 Uncle will do it for you
Zhang Rang is a poisonous wine, poisonous and mellow, making people want to stop. Cough...
Liu Cang came empty-handed, and in the blink of an eye he had hired tens of thousands of servants, plus there was no need to worry about miscellaneous taxes. It coincided with this calamity year, so he chose a place where there were no villages or counties. Although he had no official position, it was enough to build a business.
A village has been built.
Regardless of commercial taxes, industrial taxes, or even customs duties in the mountainous wilderness, these are things that are within the scope of the duties of the Zhongchang Shi. To help Liu Cang settle these, you don't even need to use your power to suppress others. You only need to get Liu Honghu over.
.
Now, regardless of Liu Hong or the eunuch group, their appetites have long been fed.
In fact, they pay more attention to the kind of money that can be obtained directly and easily. They are not interested in things like Liu Cang that require work to maintain, and there will be no surprises in the future.
Regarding the choice of location, Liu Cang and Zhang Rang made a comprehensive discussion.
The east of Luoyang is not suitable. Villages have been established in the flatter area for many years, and there are even many foreign tribes who have migrated inland and settled here to multiply.
The main body of the mountain system over there is Songyue. The terrain is steep and the ravines are very dense.
Not to mention the Yuzhou Plain east of Hulao, where farmland in counties and counties has been inhabited for generations.
The north of the Yellow River is suffering from various droughts and floods. It is simply a fantasy to think of farming there.
After much deliberation, Zhang Rang finally decided to carve out a foothold in the Mang Mountain area between the south of the Yellow River and Bei Mang.
Well, forget about the Beimang section between Mang Mountain and the Yellow River. There is a cemetery over there, and the people buried there seem to be people who cannot be dug up casually.
Zhang Rang and Liu Cang were murmuring, while Zhang Feng and Zhang Xiu Niang were dumbfounded. This meal could not even be considered a meal, but they were so close to each other?
Liu Cang's hostility toward He Jin was not to fool Zhang Rang. He had a vague vision of the future, and the He family was indeed blocking his way.
But the so-called Xu Xu Tuzhi is somewhat untrue. He was waiting for Liu Hong to show off his hair, and he was also waiting for Zhang Rang to trick He Jin into begging.
As for Zhang Rang, in fact, he didn't have much hope for Liu Cang's so-called Xu Xu Tuzhi. After all, without his full support in breeding, it would take him who knows how many years to save the family fortune.
Zhang Rang now attaches great importance to Liu Cang. Anyway, he has not yet reached the top. If the boy wants to toss, let him toss for a year or two. The main purpose is to increase his knowledge and become familiar with the environment of Luoyang. When the boy can't stop tossing, it will naturally be time to listen to his arrangements.
Regarding the future, Zhang Rang has always believed that it is still very far away.
After making an agreement, Liu Cang tentatively asked Zhang Rang if he could train soldiers at home. Zhang Rang agreed without much thought, and his casual words made Liu Cang secretly frightened.
"Yes, there will probably be turmoil in the next two years, and it will be necessary to train some private soldiers. I will try to mobilize some armaments for you later. If there is no war, don't show off."
"Uncle, on the way to Luo, we once met Zhang Jiao by chance in the wild." Liu Cang asked Zhang Rang as if to test.
"Zhang Jiao? Haha, Taiping Road, in the past few years they have frequently visited the survivors' gathering place. Disaster is not far away. Don't mention him." Zhang Jiao smiled softly, and Liu Cang shuddered.
Sure enough, these people all knew that there was a problem at Taiping Road, and they might even know that Zhang Jiao was going to rebel, but they didn't say anything, they were all waiting for something.
Huh? That’s not right.
"Remnants? Xiongnu?" Liu Cang suddenly wondered.
"Well, what's the matter?" Zhang Jiao continued casually without knowing what Liu Cang was confused about.
"Those Xiongnu have lived in the Han Dynasty for a long time and settled in villages. The imperial court also gave them preferential treatment in all aspects."
"Nowadays, although there are many families who have changed their surnames and established clans and can be called powerful, the Huns are greedy and often enslave their tribesmen. The surrounding Han people are disgusted with them. The Taiping Road is getting stronger and stronger. Haha." Zhang Jiao chuckled,
Not showing any concern at all.
"Boom~" It was like a flash of thunder in Liu Cang's mind, and the word "dark under the lamp" suddenly appeared in Liu Cang's mind.
Yellow turban, mob, surrender of the Huns, a series of words flashed through Liu Cang's mind. He had long felt that something was not right about the so-called Yellow turban uprising, this...
Starting from the Western Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was at war with the Xiongnu. Today they captured thousands of prisoners, and tomorrow they brought back tens of thousands of prisoners of war. From the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, after overthrowing the Northern Xiongnu, they even captured more than 200,000 prisoners at a time.
The northern Xiongnu fled, and all eight southern Xiongnu tribes returned to the Han. There were millions of Xiongnu. Some of these surrendered Xiongnu merged with various ethnic groups in the north, some stayed in the border towns in the north, and some moved inland to the Central Plains.
The Han Dynasty liked to catch foreign captives and throw them around, including the Romans. Because there were many noble families in the Central Plains, they could act as a check and balance. Most of the Xiongnu survivors moved to the Central Plains. They selected a piece of land to allow them to settle down and multiply, and they were naturalized and returned to the Han Dynasty.
The Xiongnu who moved inland to the Central Plains were large in number, and many of them changed their surnames to Han, but they retained their own ethnic groups, established villages and clans, and multiplied according to the Han
After hundreds of years of reproduction and reproduction, there were hundreds of thousands of naturalized Xiongnu people in the Han Dynasty. If the real number was strictly investigated, it might be in the millions.
Nowadays, these Xiongnu have become part of the Han people. Most of them have built villages in various places, cultivated and cultivated crops, multiplied and multiplied, and became some clans, families, and even large households, powerful and powerful.
Needless to say, the Huns were greedy and cruel. If they moved inward to the Central Plains and could not rob or enslave the Han people, you can imagine what they would do.
They inherit the wolf nature from generation to generation, and they don't care about good reputation or reputation. In other words, enslaving others is a manifestation of fame and ability for them.
They have no patience to run the so-called maintenance cycle of the aristocratic family. Perhaps in their eyes, the aristocratic family's kind of care for the village is a kind of hypocrisy, idiotic, and unreasonable performance.
If nothing unexpected happens, more than half of the millions of naturalized survivors may have lost all their wealth. They have been controlled by the big families in their villages and the nobles of their clans for generations, and live like slaves.
It's all about embezzling land and squeezing serfs, and that's it for the peaceful years. The imperial court wants to promote integration and do less management, and most people from aristocratic families don't want to deal with those village clans.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And Zhang Jiao, what about the Yellow Turban Uprising? If someone rises up, I think these remaining serfs who have nothing and have been enslaved for a long time should be more active than the Han people.
With the cultural quality of the Han people in this era, Zhang Jiao's talisman water that can cure all diseases can fool them casually? Have you ever asked Master Zhongjing about his lineage?
The Zhang Jiao Yellow Turban uprising of 360,000 people, and how many states across the country responded to it, sounds outrageous. But you must know that Yanzhou alone has a registered population of four million.
To say that Zhang Jiao dragged Han disaster victims to join him in causing trouble, then the number of less than 400,000 was really too small.
Many things are said simply and briskly in one sentence, but they are all connected in series, as if there are unreasonable questions everywhere.
The funeral is still unknown, but now that he thinks of the "Han surnamed Xiongnu" scattered across various places, Liu Cang's originally chaotic feeling about the external situation seems to be connected by a thread.
After being called out by Zhang Rang in a daze, Liu Cang gathered his emotions and said, well, put aside the Yellow Turban Huns and all that. He had more important things to ask Zhang Rang for help.
"Uncle, I don't want to worry about raising livestock any more, but I am determined to try to tame wild beasts. I wonder if my uncle can find some tiger and bear cubs, or capture some tiger and bear beasts." The surviving family? The surviving family can have tigers.
Xiong Xiang? Liu Cang gave way to Zhang with anticipation.
"Well, ferocious beasts? Although ferocious beasts are expensive, in terms of hunting, if they are raised, not to mention the danger, the food will be a loss." Zhang Rang shook his head. Nowadays, the amount of meat is still the main measure of the value of livestock.
"Why did uncle forget my ability to drive away beasts?"
"For the time being, let's just treat this matter as Cang's young fooling around, and let's not talk about business. If I was given a thousand wolverines, as Wang Yun said earlier, Cang could let him live in a house that collapsed, and his palace collapsed, and he could also let these wolves
Badgers tend sheep and chickens, but they can save a lot of energy." When Wang Yun was mentioned, Liu Cang said with a sad expression.
Zhang Rang was a little stunned. He really thought what Li Cang said was nonsense.
Zhang Rang knew that Badger was good at digging holes. He couldn't help but think of the scene of "the house collapsed and the palace collapsed" in his mind, and he felt all kinds of sour and happy. This seemed to be possible.
"Uncle, the livestock breeding company Cang will definitely not allow outsiders to gossip, but Cang wants uncle to find some tiger and bear cubs, or rhinos, elephants and other powerful animals." Liu Cang told Zhang Rang.
Besides, my eyes flashed and my heart agitated, I wanted it so much.
"This...this is a bit difficult to handle." Zhang Rang frowned, and Liu Cang was puzzled.
In other words, what Liu Cang looks forward to most about Zhang Rang is actually letting him help collect ferocious beasts. It is basically impossible for others to accompany Liu Cang to do such things.
If you raise a group of badgers, you can say that you can command tigers and bears. Let alone tigers and bears, even wolverines, which are native to Liaodong, no one will help them capture and collect them for free.
But Zhang Rang can do it. Who makes others a bad person?
Can a bad person be called a bad person if he does not abuse his power?
His relatives don't like Zhang Rang, but there are a lot of people who 'like' Zhang Rang. I'm afraid that as soon as word spreads that they like Zhang Rang, countless people will help him find him.
However, Zhang Rang, who was confident before, was suddenly in trouble, and Liu Cang was a little confused.
"There are some tigers and bears in the mountains around Luoyang, and I also have Forbidden Army generals under my command, just like my elder brother." As he spoke, Zhang Rang pointed at Zhang Feng.
"You, Ah Weng, command the Northern Army's cavalry and will also go out for training. However, these forbidden troops are mostly composed of sons of good families, and there are also many sons of wealthy families. Tigers and leopards are dangerous, and casualties will inevitably occur when hunting wild animals. If there are casualties caused by hunting wild animals, the impact will be real.
It's too big." Zhang Rang explained, and Liu Cang suddenly understood.
The children of wealthy families came to join the imperial army, but they ended up fighting and suppressing rebellions and getting into trouble, but you took them to the mountains to fight tigers?
If a human life was involved in this, let alone the imperial army, even if it were done to the local army, I'm afraid they would have to give an explanation.
"Well, ferocious beasts such as tigers and leopards are difficult to deal with, and it is hard to find them. It takes a lot of time and money to transport live elephants to the Central Plains. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Your Majesty."
"Feixiong can find some for you, but don't restrain yourself when you get them. Don't let me be laughed at." Seeing Liu Cang's disappointment, Zhang Rang tried to comfort him.
Liu Cang's eyes lit up. Wolverines and wolverines are also fine. If there are enough wolverines, tigers, bears, etc., wouldn't we push them ourselves?
"Uncle, can you get some more giant dogs and carved eggs?" Liu Cang pushed further and Zhang Rang raised his head and laughed.
After all, he is still a kid, and he is very playful. When he reaches his prime, he still needs to restrain himself.
