Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

He looked at the old man who was speaking, and then at many young people in the village. Compared with the old man, these young people had different expressions. A few of them obviously wanted to refute, but they all held back.

"I know, but the current Great Tang is different from the previous dynasties. The most important thing is that the current Great Tang really treats us as the people of the Great Tang, not some barbarians." Huang Lingshan took a deep breath He opened his mouth with a breath.

"The Xiaogou village where Puka is located, because they are closer to the outside world, they have always kept in touch with the outside world, and you all know about their changes."

"Now His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty collects medicinal materials widely in Lingnan Road. Not only do we mountain people in the mountains collect medicinal materials at high prices, but also sell us food at a lower price. Xiaogou Village is not only not short of food for every household. , No longer hungry, and many people also bought a lot of new iron utensils, knives, pots and other iron items."

"Although there are a lot of prey in this mountain, we all know that the prey cannot feed everyone, and the farmland we can reclaim on the mountain is limited, and the food we can grow is also limited. In our village for so many years, although no one will starve to death, everyone Have you had a full stomach?"

"More importantly, Datang's attitude towards us not only gave us preferential treatment, but also offered us ironware. The previous imperial courts never dared to sell ironware to us mountain people."

"There is also this book "The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook". As long as you are willing to exchange it, almost every village can exchange it for a copy at a very low price. Not to mention anything else, only in our village, because this book was saved. How many children and people are there? In the past six months, five people have been saved because of this book."

"I don't need to tell you how expensive books are. You all know it, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin is willing to sell us this book on curing diseases and saving lives at a very low price. Barbarians, but we are not people who don't know how to repay favors."

"What's more, His Royal Highness Qin Wang gave us a lot, but he didn't ask us for anything in return. As for persuading the corvee, joining the army and fighting will kill people, but isn't joining the army and fighting the same to protect ourselves? What's more, when we hunt in the mountains, when Have you been safe?" Huang Lingshan said.

"Headman. I want to go down the mountain, even if I want to serve as a soldier. I heard that now the Tang Dynasty recruits soldiers to pay the military salary, which means that they are given money every month, and the money given is enough to feed a family of more than ten. food! I have three children now, and if I just rely on hunting, they won’t have enough to eat.” Just after confirming that his son was fine, Huang Gu stood up and said.

"Go to me too. My old lady is sick. If it wasn't for Dr. Puka, she might have died. Besides, if I go hunting and can't get any prey, they will all be hungry, so it's better to serve as a soldier to buy food."

Many young people in the village stood up and said.

Seeing the attitude of these young people, some old people in the village could not object.

……

In Gaozhou, Feng An is listening to the report of his own people.

"Brother, according to the information so far, among the veterans under the command of King Qin, more than 1 mountain people have finished their training, and this month, nearly [-] mountain people have come out of the mountain. From different tribes." Feng Wenji said with a strange expression.

"Is it just our place?" Feng An asked.

"Yes, it's just our place. If it's the entire Lingnan Road, there may not be as many as [-] mountain people after training." Feng Wenji took a deep breath and said.

"Hey, I used to hear about how powerful His Royal Highness King Qin is from the Tang Weekly and some legends, but now I have seen the real power." Feng An admired it a little.

"Yes, one hundred thousand mountain people! With our own influence, we only recruited thirty to forty thousand soldiers at most. This is because we have connections with the leaders of some big tribes, but His Royal Highness Qin Wang did nothing. The mountain people came out on their own, asked the local officials to register as citizens of the Tang Dynasty, and then took the initiative to train. The gap is too big." Feng Wenji nodded, admiring but also somewhat terrified.

It's so powerful!

Most of the mountain people are brave. After all, they all need to hunt to survive. They have been good at moving in the mountains since they were young. Fighting with wild animals is naturally good at fighting. Now His Highness has easily pulled out a hundred thousand mountain people. What is the concept?

The [-] mountain people can sweep the entire Nanyang land, not to mention Lingnan Road, although His Highness did not conscript, but selected the best from among the [-] mountain people.

But these mountain people are willing to accept training, which means that in the future, as long as His Highness wants to recruit, he can instantly send [-] more soldiers!

"Every family is quite well-behaved now." Feng An couldn't help but asked with a smile.

"That's natural." Feng Wenji nodded.

Feng An smiled. The Feng family is different from other wealthy nobles. Feng An's sons are all in Chang'an, so when Feng An returned to the Tang Dynasty, he never thought of rebelling, but among the local wealthy families in Lingnan Road, Relying on their own influence in the local area, there are quite a few people who do evil and disdain the imperial government's orders.

Now, you let them try again?

Heh, when His Highness said at the beginning that he would buy herbs from the mountain people and pay them food, these people dismissed them. They felt that His Highness was just pretending to keep buying herbs. Money toss?Although food in Lingnan Road is cheap, how much food can His Highness provide?

But after a few months...His Royal Highness's medicinal material processing plants began to spread all over Lingnan Road. Not to mention, there are more and more mountain people who continue to register their households and become the people of the Tang Dynasty, and then follow the medicinal material factory to expand to Lingnan instructors. We began to train these mountain people.

The training time is not long, only three months, and during the training, these mountain people have no military pay, only food can be received, but for the mountain people, this is enough, because the food they receive every month is less than They hunt a lot more, and they are stable.

And His Highness will only select the best of them as members of the Datang City Management Force.

Feng Wenji didn't know very well, but Feng An knew very well that when His Highness's instructors selected these members, they selected a few people from each village, which meant that almost every village had personnel reserved by His Highness.

Once a war breaks out, these people are the foundation!

The influence of those wealthy families now?No matter how powerful the influence is, it will not have any influence in the face of an army of [-] mountain people.

What's more, His Highness's deeds have such a strong influence on the mountain people, and even more on the local people. Without the people as their foundation, they, the powerful and powerful families, only have a little money.

"I heard that His Highness's Iron Works has decided to use that kind of loan to the people at the foot of the mountain, and then give them priority in providing them with Quyuanli and various iron farm tools?" Feng An asked.

"Yes, the person in charge of Gaozhou told us about it before." Feng Wenji said immediately.

"Contact the other party and say that if they are short of money, our Feng family is willing to provide funds to His Highness as a guarantee to support His Highness's policy. First, give priority to the distribution of farm tools such as Quyuanli to the people, and then let all the pack horses under our family's name be able to take Those who come out to be studs will be taken out and given priority to the common people to breed the mules." Feng An directly made a decision.

"Yes! Big brother." Feng Wenji immediately understood what his big brother meant.

If Lingnan in the past was like an enclave of Datang. Although it belonged to Datang, and even the local wealthy families were also officials of Datang, but in fact Datang did not have enough control over the local area, then the current Lingnan Road may become a land of Great Tang. The Tang court has the strongest control over the local area, except near Chang'an.

And after one or two years with the passage of time, this cohesion will become even stronger!In particular, the local people's ownership of Datang will make Datang's rule of the local area unfavorable, including Lin Yidu who has just joined Datang.
