Three Kingdoms

Parents who only want their sons to be successful and their daughters to be phoenixes are often not dragons and phoenixes. Similarly, children who only dislike their parents' mentality of hoping that their sons will be successful and their daughters will be phoenixes will often not be dragons and phoenixes.

Zhuge Liang fulfilled the expectations of his elders for his son to become a dragon, and he eventually became a model of "dragon".

Sichuan and Shu.

Nanzhong.

In fact, the word Nanzhong was associated with Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and became a special CP. It seems that Zhuge Liang's peace with Nanzhong is a beautiful scenery.

Place names with the character "中" as the suffix generally refer to a certain area, such as Hanzhong, Yunzhong, and Qianzhong, and the area sandwiched by something is called a certain area, and Nanzhong is no exception.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court sent Tang Meng, Sima Xiangru and others to manage the Southwest Yi region, and successively established four Nanzhong counties, Jianwei County, Yuexun County, Yizhou County, and Zangke County.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Ming, Zheng Chun served as the captain of the western vassal state of Yizhou. "The songs of the Yi and Han Dynasties were praised by countless people, and everyone from the three bureaus to the ministers admired them." Later, King Liu Mao of Ailao and the 77 kings of the cities under his jurisdiction finally unanimously decided to "return the whole country to the Han Dynasty", and the Eastern Han Dynasty established the After moving to Yongchang County, it became the Five Counties of Nanzhong. Yuexi County, Qianwei County, Zangke County, Yizhou County, and Yongchang County.

What is worth noting is that among the five counties in Nanzhong, there is no longer Jianwei County, but it has become a vassal state of Jianwei. It can be said that during the Western Han Dynasty, Jianwei County was used as a base to migrate southward, spread culture, and develop the economy, and its influence gradually expanded to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. After Zangke County and Yizhou County were gradually established, the large base of Jianwei County completed its historical mission. The county government was moved from Yibin to Peng County in the north. Zhaotong was known as "the key to southern Yunnan and the throat to Western Shu", and the Jianwei vassal state was established here. , controlling the Yunnan-Guizhou portal is undoubtedly an improvement.

Later in history, Liu Bei established the Shu Han in Sichuan and Shu, and naturally carried out further management strategies for Nanzhong, implemented a more complete system of counties and counties, expanded the direct management area, and increased the taxation area. Therefore, the barbarians in Nanzhong rebelled, and eventually This led to Zhuge Liang's conquest of Nanzhong.

As for the so-called "Seven Captures of Meng Huo", that is Mr. Luo's meritorious service.

Historically, Zhuge Liang was on an expedition to the south, but he didn't have any spare time to do anything.

Not long after Liu Bei's death at that time, Jingzhou was completely lost, and Shu's grand strategy suffered a setback. Cao Cao faced huge pressure in the north, Sun Quan attacked twice in the east, there was another rebellion in the south, and Qiang rebellion occurred in the west of Sichuan and Shu. It can be said that Zhuge Liang was besieged on all sides. Under such circumstances, the Southern Expedition was actually a process in which a scholar had to put down his pen and pick up his sword. It was not as poetic and leisurely as what Mr. Luo wrote.

It was also after Zhuge's Southern Expedition that the conflict between Zhuge and Li Yan began to gradually intensify. It is difficult to know exactly what happened in history, but after thinking about it, I am afraid that the word power cannot be separated.

Zhuge Liang is now in Nanzhong. Of course, this time he is not leading an army to conquer, but convening various large clans in Nanzhong for discussion.

The main purpose is to split up Jianning and, incidentally, Nanzhong. Of course, the issue on the scene is certainly not this, and it cannot be so direct.

Jianning is also a county name that only came into being in the later period, but you might as well use it now, and it is generally not bad. Otherwise, if you just say Nanzhong, the scope is too broad.

The reason for splitting up Jianning was because of the Yong family.

Yong Kai is dead.

The Yong family, which came from the Marquis of Shifang in the Western Han Dynasty, perished.

Li Hui is dead.

The Li family in Yuyuan County also suffered heavy losses, with almost nothing left.

Couture is dead too.

Of course, Gaoding is a Yi people, and there are many Yi people tribes in Shiwandashan.

Therefore, in the area of ​​Jianning, the original order on the ground was completely broken. Of course, the rest needed to be reorganized and the territory cut off. Under such news, all the big names in Nanzhong came one after another.

The Lu family from Buwei County is here.

The Lu family in Nanzhong can be traced back to the era of Lu Buwei. At the beginning, Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei failed in the political struggle and committed suicide. Ying Zheng sent Lu Buwei's tribe to Sichuan. Later, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the descendants of the Lu family continued to develop in Sichuan and Shu, and even the entire county was named "Buwei", which shows the strength of the Lu family.

Buwei Lu family is mainly distributed in Buwei County, Ditang County, Bisu County, Yeyu County and other places.

Then, the Cuan family, which had benefited from the Jianning incident, also sent people. If there are Yi people in Sichuan and Shu who have become Han people, of course it is inevitable that some Han people have become Yi people. The typical example is the Cuan family. The earliest ancestor of the Cuan family is said to be Banshi. Later, Banshi was granted a fiefdom in Cuan due to his merits, so they took "Cuan" as their surname, that is, "the fiefdom was in Cuan, because of the clan."

It's a pity that the Cuan family didn't continue walking towards the Ban family for some unknown reason, but went towards the Yi people. Basically, they don't wear Hanfu anymore. They also like to use some kind of dye on their faces. Applying it on the body means that this is a new fashion, and those old men don’t understand...

Going forward, after the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Cuan clan competed, merged, and split with each other. By the early Tang Dynasty, they were divided into Eastern Cuan and Xicuan, and finally even directly degenerated into Wuman and Baiman.

As for the Meng family who was close to the Cuan family, naturally someone came to visit them. Yes, even in history, uh, it cannot be counted in history. It can only be mentioned as the Meng family who captured Meng Huo seven times in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. And it happened to be Meng Huo who came. But the difference from the novel is that Meng Huo is just an errand boy at the moment, and has nothing to do with the chief cave master of the 72nd Cave or the head of the 81st Village.

In addition, Jiao Huang, the Jiao family, also came.

There are also the Zhu family of Zhu layer, the Zheng family of Zhengang, the Lei family of Lei Dong, the Lu family of Lu Cheng, and the Xing family of Xinglan.

In addition, some people, such as the Qiu family and the Di family, also came.

These surnames basically include most of the big surnames in Nanzhong. The big families are also big squires and big landowners.

These people with big surnames are more or less related to each other. Even if they are not married at all, they still have a certain respect, so when they gather together in one place, it is not to mention how lively it is.

But inside the government office, Zhuge Liang was alone, standing in front of the map and looking at it carefully.

This time, on the surface it was to divide Jianning's interests, but in reality it was to disrupt and redistribute the whole Nanzhong area.

In the Han Dynasty, the development of Nanzhong and the expansion into the southwest actually originated from a beautiful misunderstanding.

Back then, Zhang Qian dug through the Western Regions and came to Daxia. Here he saw Shu cloth, which was originally only available in Shu, and Qiong bamboo and bamboo sticks, which were only found in Qiong. So he asked the Daxia people where these came from. ? The people of Daxia said: "People from the Shendu Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away from Daxia, can do business with merchants from Shu." 』

Because the Han Dynasty had not yet investigated the surrounding fog of war, Zhang Qian thought that this was a new way to bypass the front of the Xiongnu and attack the rear of the Xiongnu, so he reported the matter to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and suggested that he use the "body poison" direction. By opening up a road, we can then bypass the Western Region, which was not completely controlled at the time, and raid the rear of the Huns...

Of course, this strategy was ridiculous in the eyes of later generations, but the problem was that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not have any world map in his hands, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that he could give it a try, and soon began to develop the southwest region.

Later, a series of southwest wars occurred.

Surrender, rebel, quell the rebellion, then rebel again, quell the rebellion again. The rebellion in the southwest was never big, and generally could not directly affect the central court, but it was never completely stable, so that the court would have to move southwest from time to time. Blood transfusions again and again.

"Barbarians...enlightenment..."

Zhuge Liang frowned and whispered softly.

When he was in Chengdu, he stayed with Xu Shu and deeply realized that governance in Sichuan and Shu was not easy.

The most important point of contradiction is the barbarians, and the strategy formulated by Fei Qian and Xu Shu is to "use business to promote education and educate people."

The Nanzhong area is an important transfer station. This was true not only in the Han Dynasty, but even for a long time in later generations. A large number of Shu products, especially raw silk and Shu brocade, travel westward through Yongchang to places such as Bhamo and Myitkyina, then to the snowy areas, and then to Shendu Patna, and then exported to Europe via Daxia. This is a land-based The ancient tea horse road.

In addition, you can also go from Yongchang to Jiaozhi, to Rinan, and directly to the Indian Ocean and as far away as West Asia and Europe, becoming part of the Maritime Silk Road.

This important role as a transit node lasted until World War II. Therefore, those who do business and serve as officials in Nanzhong are really rich. It is said that "one term as an official will make you rich for ten generations", which can be seen from this.

But again, poor people are really poor.

The huge gap between rich and poor makes the southwest region prone to various problems.

Poverty and ignorance are good brothers who always hold each other back. Just like the Nanzhong Rebellion in history, in fact those barbarians flocked here because they believed Yong Kai's lies at that time. Yong Kai asked people to fabricate a lie, saying, "The official wants to get three hundred heads of black dogs, black heads in front of the head, three buckets of mite brains, and three thousand pieces of wood that are three feet long. Can you get it?" 』

Rumor has it that the government went to the south and asked for 300 black dogs, even the hair on their chests must be black; mite brains refer to agates, which cost three bushels; The forest is dense, but most of the trees can grow up to two feet high. If it is three feet tall, it is considered a sacred tree. Where can I find three thousand roots? As a result, he made up such an unreliable joke and successfully coaxed the Yi people to rebel. This shows that the behavior of the Han people among the Yi people at that time was indeed not very good. On the other hand, the Yi people really had no brains. Being fanned makes me so excited.

Maybe some Yi people don't believe these rumors and just want to buy them for zero yuan? They are all so poor anyway, why not give it a try if they are so poor that they die?

Therefore, if we want stability, we must stabilize the "middle class." Of course Zhuge Liang didn't understand the term "middle class", but if he put it in the words of another great god, Zhuge Liang would naturally understand, "The people are the way, those who have permanent property have perseverance, those who have no permanent property have no perseverance, and those who have no permanent property have no perseverance." Be perseverant, put aside the extravagance of warding off evil spirits, and do everything for your own sake. 』

"Zhuge is engaged in work, and everyone is here..." The soldiers in the hall came forward and reported.

Zhuge Liang withdrew his eyes from the map, smiled slightly, straightened his clothes, stepped out, walked around the corridor, and then walked into the hall amid the soldiers' roll call, facing Everyone offered salutes and greetings in a flurry. They all cupped their hands in return, and then stretched out their hands to invite everyone to sit down.

After a series of experiences, Zhuge Liang also lost some of his youthfulness and gradually matured. He smiled, his eyes were as clear as a pearl, and everything in the world seemed to be reflected in his dark eyes.

"Now that you are here, you must be the leaders of each family. You have been approved and can make decisions for your family..." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and spoke unhurriedly, as if he was waving a hoe in the field. Whether it's planting crops or digging holes, it's hard to say. "If any of you are unable to take charge, please go quickly and let someone who can take charge come..."

"One Sword Dominates"

At first, everyone looked at Zhuge Liang's youth, and although they seemed to care about Zhuge Liang's etiquette and thoughtfulness, they didn't look down on him in their hearts. They thought that he could not do things well because of his lack of words. However, when they suddenly heard Zhuge Liang say this, they all became a little uneasy. , it’s okay for some people who can speak within the family, but some of the families looked down on Zhuge Liang, so naturally they didn’t send important personnel.

"This...Zhuge is engaged in," Meng Huo of the Meng family said with a smile, "I don't know what is important. Can you reveal a little bit first so that we can inform the family elders..."

Zhuge Liang tilted his head slightly and glanced at Meng Huo, "This is..."

"I am the Meng family, a younger brother of Pinglu Xiaowei and the governor of the tent." Meng Huo said with his hands raised. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Meng Huo's reputation is greater than that of Meng Yan, but now, Meng Yan's status is greater than that of Meng Huo. Meng Yan was awarded the title of school captain because of his merits in the last Jianning incident, while Meng Huo Mao I haven't caught one yet, maybe there is one? Now he is working as a miscellaneous person under Meng Yan, which is better known as "the governor of the tent".

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Brother Meng... However, Liang is a little strange. Could it be that in the documents Liang sent before, it was not stated that this was a gathering to discuss important matters in Nanzhong and determine the ten-year plan?" If there is any unclear wording in Mo Feiliang's writing, please correct me. 』

Everyone exchanged looks.

Of course, it's not that there was anything wrong with Zhuge Liang's previous writing, but that the big clans in Nanzhong are already used to being lax. If Xu Shu comes, these people will certainly take it seriously. But with the arrival of Zhuge Liang, these Nanzhong surnames can't climb into history. If you look at it from the shoulders of giants, you will naturally feel a little neglectful.

Cuan Li wore a robe full of barbarian flavor. There were complicated patterns on the cuffs and collar. Together with the tattoos exposed on his face and hands, he created a slightly rough atmosphere. "What are you doing?" If anything happens, just say it directly, if we can make the decision, we will make the decision. If we can’t make the decision, we will find someone who can make the decision for you! 』

When everyone saw Cuan Li taking the lead, they responded one after another. Suddenly, the hall was full of people talking, making it noisy and restless.

Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry, he just smiled and watched with clear eyes, as if he had seen something interesting, or as if he was watching a group of monkeys.

After a while, everyone in the hall gradually fell silent.

Zhuge Liang looked at these people with a calm expression, but in his heart he was thinking about Xu Shu's instructions when he came from Chengdu.

Xu Shu said that the population of Nazhong was actually larger than that of Chengdu. During the reign of Emperor Xiaoheng, a census was conducted. At that time, Nazhong Yongchang was the second most populous county in the Han Dynasty...

This did surprise Zhuge Liang, but after seeing the data Xu Shu produced, Zhuge Liang was silent for a long time.

In the third year of Emperor Huan's Yongshou reign, Yongchang County was the second largest county in the country, with a population of 1.89 million, second only to Nanyang County's 2.43 million. However, Jianning, on the edge of Yongchang County, has a poor population of only 110,000.

Although Yongchang County is larger than Jianning County, the population is not so different. What is certain is that the number of 110,000 is only the population of Han people and does not include the local Yi people.

Of course, it is reasonable to say that the war reduced the population, but in fact, whether it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Yan, Liu Zhang, or even Fei sneaking into Sichuan later, the main battlefields were concentrated in northern Sichuan. This area has little to do with South China. In the only battle of Jianning, several tribes of the Yong clan and Gaoding were killed and injured. It was impossible for the rest of the population to drop significantly because of this.

What Zhuge Liang didn't know was that after Liu Bei entered Sichuan in history, the population of Sichuan and Shu was only a pitiful 940,000. Even when the Shu Han Dynasty perished, the population number reported by the powerful Yizhou was still a pitiful 980,000...

In history, during Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei's several Northern Expeditions, the annual taxes, labor and tax increases required for the war were all apportioned to the "registered population" of less than one million. Therefore, in the late Shu Han Dynasty, I really don’t want to fight and I can’t fight anymore.

The barbarians in the mountains and forests almost do not have to pay taxes.

Servants who are dependent on powerful people also do not have to pay taxes.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's failure to solve this problem in history was a big mistake in his domestic strategy. Of course, at that time, perhaps not only Zhuge Liang, but the entire world believed that such a tax policy was correct... …

But now, under the influence of General Fei Qian, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and others began to feel that there were some problems with the original taxation strategy and population registration method of the Han Dynasty.

If you are not a Han Chinese, then you will be educated to be a Han Chinese. Is there any reason to keep them outside for generations? The Han Dynasty has been here for three or four hundred years, but these barbarians still cannot love the Han Dynasty. Whose fault is this?

Undoubtedly, in the land of Sichuan and Shu, as well as in the areas surrounding Sichuan and Shu, the Han people are in the minority, and the Yi, Di, Qiang, Zhi and other ethnic minorities are in the majority. Unbalanced taxation and uneven distribution of labor can easily cause problems. Conflicts between ethnic tribes. A one-size-fits-all policy is a fine tradition in China. Rigid and inflexible executors will often ignite bigger mines after dealing with a small matter.

Enlightenment is fundamental. It is to allow these people to actively be attracted to China's Han culture, instead of being afraid of Han culture and staying away from Han civilization.

The Academy in Chengdu is just the beginning.

Zhuge Liang's eyes were piercing and his smile was friendly, "Liang is here under the order of Hussar, especially for the hundred-year welfare of Nanzhong!" Nowadays, the people in South China are mostly trapped by insects, tigers and leopards, the mountains and forests are narrow, and the roads are not smooth! The living cannot grow up smoothly, the strong are trapped in illness, the old and the weak cannot be taken care of! Qiao Qi is kind and knows the suffering of the people in Nanzhong. He has been tossing and turning all night long, so he sent Liang here to share the worries of the people in Nanzhong, develop strategies to supplement people's livelihood, and promote local commerce! 』

When everyone started listening, there was nothing at first, but the more they listened, the more they stretched their necks and straightened their waists, like a monkey attracted only by bananas or guava...
