Liu Huan and Jiao Siluo have a good personal relationship, but he is an official of the Song Dynasty after all. If the court has a friendly attitude towards Jiao Siluo, it would be best if the officials are willing to recruit or discuss in detail. If they are unwilling, Liu Huan will stand decisively opposite Jiao Siluo.

Now that the official family is willing to give Jiao Siluo this opportunity, Liu Huan certainly has to seize this opportunity to explain his words to Jiao Siluo. Before leaving, the official family gave him some explanations. Until now, he still doesn't understand why the Song Dynasty needed so many slaves?

Especially the official line: "Liberate the serfs."

It made Liu Huan puzzled. The serfs were originally the property of the Tubo people and were privately owned by others. Tubo was different from the Song Dynasty. They could not enforce orders, and the laws of the Song Dynasty had no effect on Tubo!

On the contrary, in Liu Huan's view, the Song Dynasty should protect the interests of the Tubo nobles. Only in this way can they be used to achieve the purpose of ruling Tubo. If they cannot get the support of the Tubo nobles, even if Tubo surrenders, it will not last long, and they will not loyally support the Song Dynasty.

The official knew this, but he had to do the opposite and insisted on liberating the serfs on the plateau. He had no other requirements for the serfs, only one, to liberate all the serfs and be under the jurisdiction of the officials of the Song Dynasty.

Although Liu Huan did not understand, the official's will was implemented properly. He believed that these serfs who were regarded by the Tubo people as inferior to pigs and dogs should be easily abandoned.

Liu Huan went to Qingtang many times to visit him. He had seen the status of serfs in Tubo. He was really inferior to pigs and dogs. Pigs and dogs could have a nest with them and some people were fed, but these serfs lived without tiles covering their bodies and had no grains to fill their stomachs. It was simply dry.

Not to mention Liu Huan, who is well-read in poetry and books, even the servants he brought with him could not bear it.

The servant gave the serf some barley cakes, but the serf's left hand that was picked up was cut off...... The cakes naturally fell into the hands of the master's family.

In the eyes of Tubo slave owners, the serf's hands were not even as good as a few barley cakes mixed with fine noodles.

It's so simple and crude, and so unconscionable, but it's a normal thing in Tubo.

It is because of this incident that Liu Huan regarded Tubo as a barbaric and ignorant place, and Wang Hua could not reach it. His always-in-law in the court had to abandon Tubo and not contact him.

Zhao Zhen is not unaware of this. He even knows more and more in detail than Liu Huan. Later information records a lot of harms and inhumanity brought about by the serf system.

Tubo's land policy began to change in the second year of Huichang in the Tang Dynasty. This can be found in detail in historical books. After Damazamp was killed by Buddhist monks that year, Tubo slavery began to collapse and the regime also partially split.

Wang Tian's land rights were moved downward, wealth was dispersed, and private ownership continued to develop. Some slave owners and nobles began to carry out more thorough privatization, turning free farmers and private farmers into serfs.

Human desires become stronger and stronger, and their greedy nature is exposed, so there are fewer and fewer civilians in the middle, only two classes: aristocratic manor owners and serfs.

This has led to the increasingly fierce division between the rich and the poor in Tubo, and some rich people and private owners have become huge businessmen. They gather wealth, purchase land, become emerging large land owners, and build many manors on the basis of enslaving villagers.

The serf owners in Tubo occupied most of the production resources such as land, forests, grasslands and rivers, and completely occupied serfs. The serfs got a piece of land from the serf owners, and at the cost they had to cultivate the lord's land free of charge, serve various labor, and hand over most of the labor products.

The basis of serfdom is to tie the serfs to the land and have to rely on the serf owners. After they leave, they have no possibility of survival, while the serf owners use this personal dependence relationship to force exploit the serfs.

In this way, wealth began to gather rapidly in the hands of the rich, and at the same time it greatly dispersed the power of Tubo. It can be said that the private ownership of Tubo was stronger than that of the Song Dynasty, and there was no unified, powerful and complete regime.

Although the manors of Tubo are strong and the slaves and nobles are strong, this also means that the strength of Tubo is dispersed. There is no mention of the leadership of a unified regime. No one is convinced by each other and hopes to maintain their current lives.

This is why the situation in Tubo has made Jiaosiluo progress all the way. No matter how powerful the individual manor is, it cannot compete with a unified regime.

However, Jiaosiluo did not implement the universal practice of Tubo. He implemented a centralized system. All the land belonged to the Qing Tang regime and the land of his Jiaosiluo, the great leader of Miaochuan.

The land and pastures of the people of Qingtang were given by Jiaosiluo, and were given by the equal-land system. Of course, he also recognized the existence of slavery and retained the serfs from Tubo, but ordered the serfs from Qingtang to maintain the basic rights of human beings. Killing serfs was still a method, so the slave owners of Qingtang were more restrained.

In contrast, the serfs in Qing Tang are much better than those in other places.

Zhao Zhen hoped that the main force to overthrow Tubo was not Jiaosiluo, but Tubo's serfs. They were a "power of prehistoric times" hidden under the tranquility. What kind of power would they produce after they were released?

That's why he ordered Liu Huan to take officials from the Song Dynasty to Tubo to recruit serfs. The biggest benefit of doing so was to reduce the possibility of the Song Dynasty sending troops and to a certain extent restrain Jiaosiluo.

The Song Dynasty does not have to occupy the land on the plateau, at least it is not necessary now, but the land on the plateau must obey the arrangements and arrangements of the Song Dynasty. The best way is to support Jiao Siluo while supporting another force, a force recognized by both the Song Dynasty and Jiao Siluo.

This is also the reason why Zhao Zhen sent Liu Huan to Tubo. If Jiao Siluo wanted to get support from the Song Dynasty, he had to agree with the Song Dynasty's policies.

Liu Huan left as fast as possible. Everything is in a hurry. Jiao Siluo led the Qing Tang army to march very fast. Every step he went further was to destroy Zhao Zhen's plan.

Zhao Zhen looked at Liu Huan's back as he left anxiously, and it was obvious that Liu Huan had already understood his intention and knew that it was time to race against time.

As an emperor, he was always prepared for both ways. If he could overthrow Tubo through serfs, it would be best if the Song Dynasty could easily control Tubo. If he could not...... The Song Dynasty's army would not be in vain.

The experience and strength brought back by the 100,000 Beiwei Army for so long training on the Tubo Plateau are very precious. At the same time, the Song Dynasty will also start to rotate troops continuously to enter high-level training during this period.

First, adapt to the climate environment of the plateau, and second, collect information on the plateau, so that you can know yourself and your enemy and never lose your battle.
