Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Wu Li was a little surprised by Village Chief Zhang's choice, because the forest rangers seemed to be more stable. After all, the imperial court gave monthly money, but in fact, most people would not choose this, because they lost the most important thing. things - the land.

But Zhangjia Village made this choice. Although the village head chose it, Wu Li knew that the village heads of these villages named after a single surname were almost all very prestigious.

Since the village head said so, there must be no problem.

But what should be said, Wu Li still has to say it properly.

"Mr. Zhang, Your Highness said that we have to rely on the principle of voluntariness for these tasks. If no one is willing, we, the security guards, will send some people to take care of them in rotation later. But in any case, we cannot force it."

"I believe that you, Village Chief Zhang, must have your word in the village. As long as you let the whole village stay, they will definitely stay, but I think you should let them make a choice, Village Chief," Wu Li said seriously. .

"Don't worry, Security Officer Wu, I'll let them decide for themselves. After all, we dare not forget what His Highness said." Village Chief Zhang said seriously.

Next, Wu Li did not leave, but followed Village Chief Zhang to call all the villagers in Zhangjia Village, and then Village Chief Zhang told all the villagers about the matter again.

Just like Village Chief Zhang said, he made them voluntary and did not force them, but all the people here have made a choice. They are all willing to stay here and become forest guards to guard the forest for His Highness.

Wu Li carefully recorded this matter beside him, and made an evaluation of the people in the whole village. The report here may eventually reach His Highness's desk and be known by His Highness and His Majesty.

But in the words of the people in Zhangjiacun, His Highness has paid so much for them, but they have only done the most insignificant things.

Wu Li, who left Zhangjiacun, was a little silent. Although he was a member of the Security Force and the Ministry of Public Security, Wu Li actually wanted to join the army. If it wasn't for the fact that his mother was unattended, he shouldn't be here. .

But the scene in front of him made Wu Li understand that there are too many people in the world protecting His Highness. Although he can't join the army to fight for His Highness, he believes that there are many colleagues in the world who will fulfill his wish for him.

And he also wants to protect this land for His Royal Highness like Zhangjiacun. I believe that there are too many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who will make the same choice as himself.

Just like what Wu Li said, the Jiannan Road in the Shu land is now renamed as Sichuan Prefecture, and the government is Yizhou Prefecture.

In the south of Sichuan Prefecture, close to Guizhou, according to His Highness's re-division of the jurisdictions of the states, the entire northern part of Guizhou has already been under the jurisdiction of Datang.

But the southern side of Guizhou has always been the control area of ​​countless Shanyue people. This place is composed of countless tribes of [-] mountains. There are many mountains and canyons, and many places are almost called Jedi.

If there is no outsider to lead the way, even a hundred thousand troops coming in here may not be able to affect the mountain people here.

But since last year, the situation here has been gradually changing. First of all, the measures taken by His Royal Highness's medicinal material factory have allowed more and more mountain people here to gradually walk out of the mountains.

Datang gave them subsidies and implemented the most sincere strategy for them, which made the mountain people gradually realize that Datang was good to them, so mountain tribes continued to respond to the call of the Datang court.

Walking out of the mountains, I am willing to migrate to the plains below the mountains to live, and live according to the land allocated by the Tang court to grow crops.

And similarly, because more and more mountain people came out of the mountains, with these mountain people constantly rushing into the Datang government soldiers and security forces, Datang has more and more control over the surrounding hills, and the intelligence is getting better and better. The more detailed.

And after the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" solved the threat of miasma all over the [-] mountains, Datang's security forces and soldiers here became even more powerful, constantly expanding the influence of Datang.

Until the influence of the Tang Dynasty expanded to the land of the Six Commandments, there was another name on the map given by His Highness, the south of Caiyun, Dali.

The policy of the Tang court was transmitted here very slowly, but this time a lot of news was transmitted immediately.

When many mountain people who were already hesitant learned about Datang's latest policy, they made decisive choices.

Migrate!

Although the mountain people are used to living in the mountains, they do not really live in the mountains voluntarily. Many people either escaped into the mountains, or their ancestors were people in the mountains.

The production conditions in the mountains are always backward, and there is little arable land on the mountains, and life is very difficult. Although there is a saying that people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, in fact, besides hunting, the mountain people still have to farm.

Farmland has been reclaimed on many mountains. As early as the Han Dynasty, many mountain tribes here have reclaimed terraced fields to make a living.

It's not that they don't want to live under the mountain, or in a place that is more suitable for planting fields. It's because the land is always under the control of the court. This is one, and the other is that their life is too hard, and if they go down the mountain, they need to pay taxes .

They were afraid that they would not be able to support themselves. After all, the ability of these mountain people to farm was far inferior to that of the people in the Central Plains.

But now His Majesty the Tang Dynasty not only brought better plowshares and columbine carts, but also higher-yielding grain seeds, although their place is not suitable for growing wheat, but more suitable for growing rice.

But this kind of agricultural tax subsidy... who wouldn't want it?

What's more, if they are willing to migrate down the mountain, their tax-free time will be longer, and the Tang court will also be responsible for all their food for the first year.

They will even help them build new villages and houses in places suitable for farming under the mountain.

So when the news spread to the land of the six imperial edicts, he had already made a decisive choice to belong to the several small countries in the six imperial edicts that the Tang Dynasty was about to move.

There is nothing they can do if they don't choose, because the mountain people under their name are constantly migrating to the territory of Datang.

Although this is a place where hundreds of thousands of mountains gather, there are also some plains suitable for farming among the mountains. Not to mention, the entire population of Liuzhao, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places may not be able to fill the Central Shu Plain.

So the people here don't have to worry that they don't have arable land to cultivate. Under such circumstances, why do they insist?

Of course, they directly submitted letters to surrender, and they were all knowledgeable. Datang began to encroach on this land from various directions such as Jiannan Road, Lingnan Road, Linyi Road, and Qinghai-Tibet Road.

Even if they are unwilling, it is only a matter of time before the mountain people under their command are eaten away.
