On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 482: Forgiveness for the People

Cui Che never did anything unnecessary. He suggested that Ah Huigoye send his son to Jinyang, not only to keep Cui Badger's company, but also to allow them to continue the friendship between their father and ancestors.

The purpose is to allow the son of Ahuigoye to accept the influence of Chinese culture, and strive to make him a spiritual Han Chinese, and lead the Xi people to sinicize in the future.

This move is not without precedent, and Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty is the most famous example.

He was raised by his maternal grandmother, the Queen Mother Feng, who was a Han woman and hired Han teachers for the young Emperor Xiaowen, making him deeply influenced by Han culture since he was a child.

After comparing with the backward nomadic civilization of Xianbei, Emperor Xiaowen yearned for the civilization of the Central Plains, which led to the later Taihe restructuring and the Sinicization of Xianbei.

It's just that no matter how well planned things are, they will take time to brew. Cui Che himself doesn't know if he will ever see the Hanization of the Xi people in his lifetime.

After the meeting, guests from all ministries bid farewell to Cui Che and left one after another. Dulan Khan also took the 10,000 cattle and sheep donated by Cui Che and set off north to the Qikou Palace.

Cui Che said goodbye to everyone, but was not in a hurry to leave. He used the altar left by the previous alliance and ordered people to bring more than 60,000 women and children, and more than 10,000 prisoners, a total of nearly 100,000 people, to the altar.

under.

The Tiele people were driven off the stage by the cavalry of the Eastern Sui Dynasty, thinking that from then on they would be separated from each other and enslaved by others, and their cries were endless.

In the final analysis, it was Cui Che's brutal tactics in the early years that caused the disaster.

In order to bring the soldiers of Youzhou back home, he often led them out to plunder, and the women and children he gained would be divided among the soldiers.

Therefore, on the grassland, he has a fierce reputation, just like Zhang Liao, who was so powerful in Xiaoyaojin that his reputation spread and he could stop children from crying at night.

In the eyes of the Tiele people, now that it has fallen into Cui Che's hands, there is no hope at all.

However, when the guards used their poor Turkic language to spread what Cui Che said on the first floor of the altar, everyone was stunned.

"From today on, you are all free!"

The women and children of Tiele looked at each other, free? Could it be that these strange and familiar words really meant that those who conveyed the message had the wrong meaning?

However, the shouts one after another were so clear, even if the accent was strange, it was really telling them that from today on, they were free again.

For a moment, cheers resounded through the sky, and the joy was beyond words.

The evil person has done too many bad things, and people's psychological expectations for him are low enough. When he suddenly does a good thing, it is even more precious.

And Cui Che is such a notorious villain in the eyes of the Turks and Tiele people.

Now, with no psychological preparation and having already prepared for the worst, he granted me a pardon. No wonder the Tiele people were overjoyed.

After finally waiting for the cheers from the audience to stop, Cui Che continued to shout in his skilled Turkic language:

"I will build a royal palace here, and you will be the tribe directly under the palace.

"You pay taxes to the palace, and I will protect your safety from harm.

"From now on, you can thrive here, and no one will bully you, rob you of your livestock, or let you suffer from the separation of your family."

When the Tiele people in the audience heard this, they all cheered.

They do not object to paying taxes to Cui Che. In fact, these Tiele people also had to pay taxes in the past.

"Book of Zhou·Biography of the Turks" records that the Turks had the position of Tutun, who were supervisors sent by the Turkic Khans to various ministries. They were responsible for collecting taxes, supervising tribal leaders, and even commanding the army in the garrison to exercise ruling power.

Paying taxes to Qimin Khan, he can't protect Tie Le people. How can Cui Che, who has a terrible reputation, be reliable?

Tribes in the grassland strive to be strong, and this has always been the case.

And in today's world, who is more famous than Cui Che?

Having been abducted from the desert to Monan by Cui Che, these Tiele people desperately wanted stability, and on the Monan grasslands, the only one who could truly bring them a stable life was Cui Che.

It's just that although the Tiele people are now free, their pockets are empty. Their property was either lost when they fled, or was plundered by the cavalry of the Eastern Sui Dynasty.

If you want them to resume production, obviously you can't just rely on words.

Cui Che gave all the livestock he plundered during this expedition to these Tiele people, except for the 10,000 cattle and sheep that were presented to Dulan Khan.

But it’s not free. When the lambs and calves are born next year, they will be fed and grown up, and then returned in full. Of course, they cannot be asked to pay it off in one lump sum. They can pay it back in years.

After all, these Tiele people still have to bear annual taxes.

The tax was not light. A quarter of the annual harvest was handed over to the palace, and the remaining three-quarters were kept by the tribesmen.

But it really doesn’t matter. After all, whether it is Qimin Khan or Dulan Khan, the amount of tax they levy from the tribes under their command is even slightly higher than the standard set by Cui Che.

The two of them had been fighting each other on the grassland before, so they naturally had to increase taxes to exploit the people in order to maintain the war.

Don't worry about whether the livestock Cui Che handed over now were snatched from them before. The law of the jungle is the biggest principle on the grassland.

Cui Che did not distribute livestock to Tiele tribesmen one by one. He distributed more than 60,000 yuan to each house. Who knows how long it will take.

The person who took over this job was Wei Zheng.

Cui Che left Wei Zheng at the southern foot of Daqing Mountain and ordered Mai Tiezhang to lead 10,000 soldiers to temporarily station here and assist Wei Zheng in registering more than 100,000 Tiele people.

This is also a voucher for collecting taxes in the future.

In addition, Wei Zheng has another task, which is to supervise the construction of the Yan Palace at the southern foot. In addition to the more than 10,000 Tiele warriors who were previously captured and went south, Cui Che will also recruit 30,000 civilians to go north after the autumn harvest and return to the

Wei Zheng assigned him to help him build the palace.

After arranging everything, Cui Che will also leave for the south. Before leaving, he carefully told Wei Zheng to build the palace without asking for luxury, but only to consider its safety.

Cui Che would definitely not allow Yang Su to rush to build the Renshou Palace for Yang Jian and tire many civilians to death.

He built the palace not really just to escape the summer heat, but to form a palace army to participate in foreign wars in the future.

If you really want to escape the summer heat and capture Guanlong in the future, Renshou Palace will be a ready place to stay.

The palace army could only put it on hold until the kidnapped teenagers completely returned home.

Therefore, Cui Che naturally would not urge Wei Zheng to work day and night.

In fact, Cui Che chose Wei Zheng to supervise the construction of the palace because Cui Che valued Wei Zheng as a man who cherished feathers and would never make his own decisions. In order to invite favors, he spent all the people's resources to build a luxurious palace for himself.

After spending half his life in the military, leading troops outside, he always had to sleep in a military tent. He had experienced many difficult conditions. Cui Che really didn't attach much importance to accommodation.

I'm a little stuck, so I won't have it tonight.
