Chapter 966 Ranch Agreement
Yumen Pass!
The setting sun shines, the earth is golden and the scenery is very charming.
But Yuan Mudan, who had reached this far, had no time to take care of this beautiful scenery. She sat on the Gobi Desert, with the desert in her eyes full of sorrow.
Han Yi! You bastard, my little sister is so sad. You'd better not die, otherwise I'd have to get rid of it. When Yuan Ji saw Yuan Mudan like this, he felt a tumultuous throat and was eager to find some people to vent. What's hateful is that Juya and the others have already been away from him, and no one dares to approach him at this time.
"Master!Master!"
Suddenly, I heard a burst of excitement. I saw a man galloping towards this side on a fast horse.
Juya immediately said: "The lord of the castle, it seems to be a lonely fox!"
Yuanjiu raised his eyes and said, "It's really a little fox."
After a moment, the Guhu came to Yuanjiu and said happily: "Master, there has been news from the front that the special envoy has returned to Hengdu City safely."
Yuan Mudan on the Gobi Desert was shocked and tears of joy immediately flowed down, because for her, it was a breaking her destiny and a beginning of a new life.
Yuanjiu jumped up happily and waved to Yuan Mudan and said, "Little sister, have you heard that kid Han Yi is not dead, not dead."
Yuan Mudan nodded, she could no longer speak.
But soon, Yuan Jiu became confused again and said, "Little sister, are we going yet?"
After a while, I heard Yuan Mudan say, "I won't go!"
Hengdu City!
The facts are just as Cheng Yaojin said, and they are fully reflected in closed-door meetings.
As time goes by, the voices of those small tribes become louder. They think that if you don’t fight, you will argue, and if you don’t argue, the big tribe will definitely hold a grudge against us. We can only tie it to the overlord of the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty. Since that’s the case, let’s take the initiative.
Now even neighboring tribes with considerable strength have reached a certain consensus, but they all believe that they will only determine this consensus after they have finished talking with the small tribe.
Another month has passed between quarrels and quarrels.
Han Yi has time to let them struggle. Anyway, he can only return to the court after the army returns. But he is also cautious and never interferes in any negotiations. No matter which tribe comes to him, he will make the same statement. When the small tribe comes to him, he guarantees that the Tang Dynasty will ensure that the agreement is attributed to their interests, and the large tribe will be the same.
Some tribes suggest that some controversies will be discussed later.
no!
Han Yi did not agree and had to discuss the result. This was his only request.
After the fight, everyone was tired!
When the large tribes saw that these small tribes were not scared, they became stronger and stronger. They didn't know when they would be the leader if they continued to fight.
But they didn't think about it. Han Yi stipulated that the Tang Dynasty would guarantee the interests of both parties to the agreement. If my ranch could not support our tribe, what should we do? The small tribe only asked for a little to ensure that the tribe members had land to graz.
The more benefits the large tribe strives for is a prosperous life.
After this comparison, of course the small tribe is more persistent.
The large tribes began to compromise and changed their negotiation strategies one after another to ensure that small tribes can strive for their best interests when they are self-sufficient.
Small tribes also know the reality. After all, large tribes are strong and powerful. In this case, if they can give in, that is victory.
The atmosphere began to ease.
Many tribes have successively determined the agreement, and after half a month, they finally agreed and handed over the agreement to Han Yi in unification.
Han Yi summoned them to gather in the courtyard again.
"First of all, I want to clarify that these agreements were formed in an absolutely fair environment. We, Datang, did not intervene, did not favoritize, and did not threaten or induce. I wonder if everyone agrees?"
Everyone nodded one after another.
"That's OK!"
Han Yi said again: "The content of this agreement was negotiated by you yourself. We believe you have been carefully considered. In my opinion, there is a saying that a real man is just a word. This is not a child’s game. You must be responsible for this agreement. Our Tang Dynasty will only follow this agreement in the future. Whoever breaks this agreement will break the rules will definitely be punished. Then don’t blame the court.”
One person said, "But we Hu people are different from you Han people. We are camps that are mobile, the population will increase or decrease, and the pastures will change. This agreement should be able to change."
Many people agree!
"This is not possible! I agreed, how can I go back on my word?"
Many people also objected.
Those who agree with the big tribe, while those who oppose the small tribe are people.
Han Yi smiled and said, "You both make sense. Do you want to say that this agreement is permanent? Surely not! I hope you understand that I asked you to sign this agreement, mainly to avoid war. You are now the people of my Tang Dynasty. The court must be responsible to any of the people. The court does not want innocent war to hurt my Tang Dynasty's innocent people. This agreement has a deadline, and is limited to ten years. In ten years, we will convene the leaders of each tribe to sign a new ranch agreement three months before the end of this agreement. I wonder what you think?"
These tribal leaders looked around and saw that ten years of long and shortness of shortness not only guaranteed the interests of the large tribe, but also guaranteed the interests of the small tribe, so they all nodded and agreed.
Han Yi said: "If everyone has no objection, then start signing an agreement! In triplicate, one for both parties to the agreement and the court."
Next was the signing ceremony, and agreements were born under the gaze of Han Yi.
This ranch agreement will surely be recorded in history.
After the agreement was signed, Han Yi held a big banquet to entertain these leaders.
These tribal leaders were also exhausted, and now they finally got it done. No matter whether they make or lose money, they all settled down. Everyone relaxed, drank and danced with all their hearts. In this era, Han people liked to dance at banquets, let alone Hu people, they had to dance gracefully.
"Everyone! Everyone!"
Han Yi suddenly came to the middle and saw three people standing beside him, the city lord Wu Kelie, Yigu and Kasmi.
Everyone immediately became quiet.
Han Yi said: "You may not know that during this discussion, the food, accommodation, and the wine and meat you have in your hands are all donated by Wu Kelie, Yigu and Kasmi. We must toast them and be grateful for everything they have done for us."
When everyone heard this, they immediately raised their glasses to greet Wu Kelie and the others.
The three of them were shocked. They were really willing to take out the money because they thought that the Tang army would not kill them, so they would be very satisfied. Now, the Tang army not only did not kill them, but also had not even moved their property. What is this little money?
After drinking it all, Wu Kelie said, "The Special Envoy and you all have praised me too much. The money was taken out by the three of us, for nothing else, because of the good intentions of the Special Envoy."
Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "There have been wars on the grasslands in the north of the desert. But what has war brought us? Killing, running around and homelessness has not brought us any benefits. Even if we seize the broader pasture, our relatives will not be able to come back, and we do not have so many people to manage it. When our tribe becomes stronger, the war begins again and continues. The pastures become deserted because of the war and no one is grazing. I am really tired of war. Therefore, when the special envoy proposes that everyone sign a ranch agreement to prevent the resurgence of disputes, I made it clear that if the special envoy can do all this, I am willing to donate all my money. If the money is spent, I can still make another profit, but if my life is lost, I will not come back."
These words made many people feel the same. Although the Hu people were warlike, they always fought and everyone became tired, because since the Eastern Turks were destroyed, the Western Turks had never stopped fighting. They did not fight with the Tang Dynasty, and they also had constant wars with each other and their population also decreased sharply. In this battle, at least tens of thousands of Hu people in this area died in the war.
"Well said!"
Han Yi said with a serious expression: "Mr. Wu Kelie said it very much. In fact, war is just to satisfy a very large number of ambitious people. Most people cannot benefit from the war. Instead, their families will be destroyed because of the war. Why do I rush to ask you to come and agree on this ranch agreement? It is because Mr. Wu Kelie and others told me that the war in this area is mostly caused by the battle for ranch. Therefore, to stop the dispute, we must first start with the ranch.
In addition, I also hope to use this agreement to let everyone know that the court attaches great importance to you and will do its best to help all tribes resume production and promote the prosperity of this generation of regions. I know that some of your tribes have sent troops to support the rebel Ashinahelu, but I know even more that you did this for self-protection. I will not blame this for this. From tomorrow onwards, you will give me the list of your tribes participating in the war. If they are lucky enough not to die in battle, you can bring them back!"
As soon as these words were said, everyone was surprised. They kept thinking that it would be fine if the Tang army did not cause trouble for them, but they did not expect to ask the Tang army to release the captives from their tribe!
"What you said is true?"
"Of course it's true."
Han Yi smiled and said, "Didn't I say before? The court will do its best to help you resume production. The key to production lies in people. Your ranch also needs people to grazing, right?"
The tribal leaders couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"This is just the second!"
Han Yi waved his hand and said, "According to Mr. Wu Kelie's reports, the people in this area are very hardworking. No matter how hard the people are, they can't defeat nature. Once a snow disaster occurs, many families will face the dilemma of destruction of their families. It is precisely because of this that once a snow disaster occurs, it is the origin of the war. In fact, the same is true in the Central Plains. Our court has been trying to find ways to help the people of the Central Plains resist natural disasters. Similarly, you are also people of my Tang Dynasty, and the court will treat everyone equally. I here assure you that this situation will definitely be alleviated within three years. Of course, I am not saying that if a snow disaster really occurs, there will be no loss at all. This loss cannot be avoided and the court cannot stop it. What the court needs to do is to help you overcome the disaster, reduce the losses caused by the disaster, and not be homeless."
These tribal leaders were stunned!
The snow disaster has always been the biggest enemy of the Hu people. Once a snow disaster occurs, the entire grassland will face bankruptcy. In their opinion, this is irresistible and can only endure it. However, Han Yi now told them that they could help them reduce their losses and was overjoyed, but he also thought it was quite incredible. In fact, this is not incredible. When a snow disaster occurs in the Hu people, they have no food to eat, so they can only rob. Who is robbed, and it is not robbed of the Han people. For the Central Plains, no matter what, they still have to help them, otherwise they will be implicated.
"The court - can the court really do it?"
"It must be possible!"
Han Yi promised: "Please trust the court and give the court some time."
