My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 421 200 Free Labor Forces Are Coming
"Can't fight anymore?"

Zhang Liao and the others were startled for a moment, and then their faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Damn it, have the barbarians mastered it?"

Zhuge Liang looked at the barbarians in front of the city gate, and the envoy headed by him took out the peace agreement that he had prepared a long time ago from his arms.

Throughout the ages, there have been rules not to beheaded, not to mention that people are holding the peace letter with both hands, which is obviously a confession.

As a last resort, Zhang Liao had no choice but to order the city to be opened and local officials to welcome people in.

During this process, many people expected that the Hu people would just pretend to surrender, and it would be best to sneak into the city and cooperate with the army outside the city.

It's a pity that after thinking too much, the barbarian is determined to surrender and negotiate a peace this time.

"Done for nothing."

Return to the convoy in Luoyang.

Lu Su leaned against the leopard-skin soft couch in the carriage, holding a jug of wine in his hand, complaining drunkenly.

Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fazheng, and Lu Xun looked at each other. Fazheng rubbed his brows and said, "It's not in vain. We've all gained a lot from this plan, haven't we?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Fazheng, smiled and said nothing.

Pang Tong leaned his back against the car window, shook his head and said, "There is a saying in the art of war: if you win without fighting, you are good."

The youngest, Lu Xun, knelt on the soft couch full of restraint, listening to the conversations of the younger brothers, his pink face was tangled for a while, relieved for a while, and very unwilling for a while...

Luoyang.

The news of the Hu people negotiating peace quickly spread overwhelmingly.

At this moment, the people in the city knew that when they greeted the new year in full swing, there was a war on the border.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

As for the Hu people negotiating peace, this was not a rare thing as early as the time of Emperor Huan. This is how the Huns from the north and south of the Eastern Han Dynasty came.

Compared with the Northern Huns, the Southern Huns were considered half-integrated into the Han Dynasty, and even became part of the northern frontier army's combat power for a time.

It's just that there are always some show jumpers who like to make things happen, and take advantage of their father's weakness to find freedom; when their father is strong, they come to lick their toes again.

After Wei Cheng heard the news, he immediately asked the various families to act.

Without him.

Cultivate wasteland, build roads, build bridges, open rivers...

Everywhere requires a lot of labor, and it is also time to test the brainwashing skills of each school.

Only when people get together and have nothing to do, can they think wildly.

Therefore, Wei Cheng intends to fundamentally solve the problem.

"The thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, except Liangzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, the other ten prefectures each took 20 people back."

Council Hall.

Wei Cheng looked at Wei Min, who was on the right, and said: "The Ministry of Officials must fully cooperate with the states, especially the appointment of personnel. Try to choose people from southern families to go north to serve as errands, and people from northern families to go south to serve as officials."

Wei Min bowed to accept the order.

Wei Cheng looked at Xu Ding again, and said: "The Ministry of War will send people to the grassland as soon as possible, and the first batch will take 60 people to Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou to prepare for the spring plowing next year. After all, the herdsmen It takes a little adaptation period to change to the status of a farmer."

"There are also the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry."

As soon as Wei Cheng finished speaking, Xun Yu and Hao Dadao stood up together. One of them was the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the other was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

As for why Hao Dadao was able to sit in this position, it can only be said that he does not avoid relatives when he is a virtuous person.

"The Ministry of Household Affairs must dispatch a batch of grain to the north as soon as possible. Sending charcoal in the snow is better than icing on the cake. While the barbarians are hungry and cold, giving them some warmth will also facilitate the next move of the Ministry of War."

"The Ministry of Industry must speed up the production of various types of farm tools as soon as possible. Before the spring of next year, the share of farm tools in all states and counties must be satisfied. It is imperative to prepare for spring plowing with all our strength."

Xun Yu bowed in response, stood up and said, "I have one more thing to ask Mr. Wei."

Wei Cheng nodded slightly.

Xun Yu said: "A large number of Hu people moving into the states and counties will inevitably arouse public anger and unnecessary disputes. I implore Wei Jun to issue an order to force Hu people to wear our Han costumes and hairstyles. Those who do not follow will be skinned and follow suit. Lingnan."

Wei Cheng's expression changed, and he looked at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu raised his eyes slightly, smiled and said nothing.

After a long silence, Wei Cheng said loudly, "Yes."

Three days later.

People from several aristocratic families in Hedong gathered together to discuss how to "relieve" the Hu people.

"For this peace negotiation, my big man has given such harsh conditions. I think the Hu people will most likely not agree to go south."

"Hmph, wouldn't it be better if you don't want to? It won't waste our rations."

"You can't say that. Compared with labor, that little ration is not worth mentioning at all."

The people of the Xie family said with great wealth: "My Xie family's more than a dozen farms have had a bumper harvest this year, and it is more than enough to raise tens of thousands of Hunu, hahaha."

Everyone from the other aristocratic families rolled their eyes.

A rich middle-aged man sitting on the east side took a sip of warm wine and said, "Who is short of that little food now? The key now is, if the Hu people are unwilling to move south, what should we do?"

"Brother Pei, is there any good way? You can't let Jun Wei order the Ministry of War to forcefully escort the Hu people to the southern states and counties?"

"It's not impossible, but I'm afraid many people will be killed or injured on the way." Someone echoed.

At this time, the box door knocked.

Everyone looked back, only to see Wei Hao clasped his hands together, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry everyone, Mr. Wei is late."

"Hahaha, brother Wei is joking, brother Wei is the Minister of Rites, and he is no match for ordinary people like us."

"You, Pei Laoliu, still speak in such an awkward manner. Fortunately, I brought good news."

Several people were overjoyed when they heard the words, and stood up to greet each other. Their attitudes were a 180-degree change, especially the elders of the Pei clan.

Wei Hao enjoyed the service with peace of mind, and then said bluntly: "Don't say that I don't take care of you, the first batch of 200 million Hunu, each state will get 20 people, and Hedong will get 20 alone. I don't want any of the Wei family, it's all cheap for you." gone."

"20?" Several people were overjoyed and toasted.

Wei Hao also raised his wine glass and replied with a smile: "A few days ago, there was a [-] army that invaded the border. None of them went back, and they brought [-] herdsmen to go south together. Now they have been arranged in Hedong, just waiting I was helped by everyone."

"My Pei family is helping, my Pei family is willing to help 10 people."

"Get out, 10 people? Who gave you the courage?"

"Let's split it equally. I, Xie, don't want much. It's [-]. It just so happens that the coal mine needs some manpower."

"One hundred thousand barbarian cavalry, you let them go mining?"

The old Xie clan raised their eyebrows, took a sip of wine dismissively, and said: "The world is a strong army, I only recognize Tiger Soul Dragon Mountain, what about barbarian iron cavalry? Don't we have to go to cultivate wasteland in the spring of next year?"
