The Xianbei people who stayed on the east side of the trench had internal strife.

Some of them want to surrender, some want to escape, and some want to fight back.

But those who want to fight back are a minority after all, and those who dare to fight back are even a minority among the minority.

Hu people are just stupid, but they are not fools.

Anyone facing a head-on confrontation with an armored monster on the grassland will feel a sense of powerlessness.

As for escaping, when the snow has not yet melted, although the grassland is huge, where can we escape?

How will you survive the next month after escaping from here?

Coupled with the persuasion of Tuoba Desert Khan, the leadership of Tuoba Luguan and Karasuma King Kuxian, the surrender faction finally gained the upper hand.

Dozens of tribal leaders dismounted and came to kowtow. Even General Zhendong, who always stayed away from strangers, rarely came out in person to appease the leaders.

After receiving the Han general's personal promise in public, the leaders who were still a little uneasy were relieved.

Everyone burst into tears of gratitude and shouted again, "The emperor of Han Dynasty is kind and the general is kind."

General Rao Shi Zhendong always showed his coolness to others, but when he saw so many people calling him "sir", the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried.

Nothing else, because this may be the largest batch of labor that the Han Dynasty can obtain in at least the next ten years.

Whether they voluntarily surrender or are forced to surrender, there is not much difference in nature from captured labor. The difference in superficial treatment does not change that they are expendable and a one-time consumption of labor.

——Quotations from Feng Slave Owner.

Ninety-nine percent of them have no way to change their destiny.

They will all contribute to the big man in different ways. As long as they can't do it to death, they will do it to death.

Figures like Duanmuzhe are just a few exceptions.

And their descendants, after receiving a certain amount of education and possessing a certain ability to read and write, can be called labor force, not labor force.

Of course, even if they become a labor force, they are just working as cows and horses in a different way.

As productivity increases, their salary may improve and their living standards may change, but the class remains the same.

No matter how many channels there are for ascending, it will still be like crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops.

The children of the aristocratic family are watching with eager eyes, and the children of the humble family are fighting desperately. The barbarians... will die first!

Oh, I can't die. I should say that the right way out is to herd the court's cattle and sheep and shear their sheep.

Only by doing what you are good at can you live a more relaxed life, right?

As the wife of the largest labor trafficker in the world, Father Guan often carries a small book of secrets of the Feng family with him, so he can naturally guess some future trends.

But that didn't stop her from being happy.

After all, it's not her son who works like a cow or a horse.

On the contrary, the more cattle and horses the big man has, the greater the benefits his son will enjoy.

As a powerful man in the Han Dynasty, and as a representative of the emerging aristocracy, Dad Guan naturally possesses the attributes of powerful capital.

As for the possibility that her descendants will be hanged on the roadside in the future, Guan's father is not yet so aware.

And she probably won't have the chance to see that day either.

She only knew that the big man's desire for labor was endless.

In the past, except for a special existence like the capital that gathered the power of the world to provide support, every county, county, or even state had an upper limit on the population it could accommodate.

This upper limit is determined by land output.

Agriculture is the primary industry, and not without reason.

Even if Feng, who holds the secret of dragon slaying, wants to advance in technology, the first step is to come up with various new farming tools and techniques to increase food production and try to increase caloric intake. Only then can he proceed to the next step.

step.

Rather than being like those protagonists who carry the white-bearded grandfather with them, they can transform into the void with a "ding".

As for worrying about whether these new things will be copied by enemy countries...

You have to believe in the speed of spread in the era when imperial power did not go to the countryside.

This is an era in which it will take more than a hundred years for the horse-iron shoes to spread from the Hexi Corridor to become fully popular in the Central Plains.

Moreover, the northern part of the Central Plains is the birthplace of farming. It is a joke to steal the farming technology of a small country in the west!

Not to mention that as a modern person who has received a complete military and political education, he is timid even if he comes up with something for farming, so what kind of technology is there?

Wouldn't it be better to just have a sweet wife and a beautiful concubine on the hot bed, and have many children and grandchildren?

The rapid development of the primary industry for more than two decades has provided the Han Dynasty with enough surplus food - at least for the current population.

Coupled with the secret prodding and prodding of certain people, Han Dynasty has initially established a factory social organizational structure in many places.

No matter how low-level and low-efficiency a factory society is, its population accommodation is far greater than that of a small-scale peasant society.

The demand for population also far exceeds the social structure of small farmers.

Various plantations in the south, various workshops in the north, various pastures in the grassland, and mines in various places, etc., labor is buried underground every day.

There are dead ones and there are alive ones.

One black and the other, really speaking, the most useful labor force is actually the Han people who come from a farming society.

Take the most representative textile workshop as an example. If a Han woman enters the workshop to work, as long as she gets a little training and becomes familiar with the machinery and equipment, she can start working on her own in ten and a half months at most.

Men farm and women weave, this is a very normal phenomenon.

Therefore, whether they are prisoners of war from rebels or laborers from criminal families, they are all the most popular.

However, the imperial court has always been very strict in controlling this aspect.

If it were a Yi girl from Nanzhong or a Qiang girl from Liangzhou, it would basically take three months of internship.

This was the result of Nanzhong accepting the teachings of Grandpa Zhuge and moving to the flat land to learn farming.

As for the Liangzhou Qianghu, they were originally half-farmers and half-grazers.

But if it were a pure Hu girl from the prairie, it would be impossible for them to master it alone without more than half a year of study.

This is also the reason why labor prices have not increased significantly over the years.

The quality of labor is different, and the market pricing is naturally different.

Of course, slave owner Feng has a good heart and cannot bear to make money from his friends, which is also a very important reason (black whistle).

But even so, the emerging dignitaries and new aristocratic families are still extremely hungry for labor on the grasslands.

There is no other reason.

Because Han people were protected by Han law, they had to be paid for work.

Skilled female workers are even more expensive.

The annual income of a skilled female worker with advanced skills is enough to support a family of five digging food in the fields.

Even for an ordinary female worker, her labor income is better than that of the men in her family farming at home.

Although the wages of barbarian girls are less, who asked people to recognize the prime minister as grandpa?

The prime minister set up a monument in the south, and the ghost king also testified as a guarantor, and even accepted two barbarian girls in his backyard.

Naturally, you can't squeeze it too much.

As for the Liangzhou Qiang and Hu species, although they are of a lower class, such as the Dunhuang Zhang family and Liu Hanzi.

But in the more than a hundred years of the Later Han Dynasty, they at least displayed the value of united front.

Moreover, Han and Qiang emerged from the same seedling, and Ji Han was the first target to implement the national policy of Han-Yi Ruyi in the north after leaving Qishan in the north, so he must be cautious.

Only the barbarians in the northern grasslands were the natural enemies of the Han Dynasty.

It allows those new rich people to have no psychological pressure and no moral bottom line, and they don't have to worry about the criticism of moral masters. They can even take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Do it!

Fuck it!

Grab wool, grab population, grab pasture!

It may take a year to cultivate the stolen labor, but it will take at least fifteen years to wait for a labor force to mature.

The quality of labor on the grassland may not be that good, but whether one year or fifteen years is more cost-effective, the newly rich can still figure out this simple arithmetic problem.

It is precisely because we know how much the big man needs labor, and how much value such a large number of labor will create for the big man.

That's why General Guan couldn't hold back his lips.

Rebuilding the Han Dynasty with the flesh and blood of foreign races originated from a certain ghost king who did not want to be named and watered Hanzhong with the flesh and blood of the barbarians in Nanzhong.

This is a path that has never been imagined before.

This is the path pioneered by Alang himself.

General Guan, she is proud.
