Chapter 105 An off-topic conference
Zhao Xing and Xu Jie stood side by side on the steps of the lobby, waiting for the arrival of the officials. Xu Jie murmured in a low voice: "Have you played for bribing Loudi? 100,000 slaves, 70 million yuan, totaling 7,000 kilograms of gold. Do you have it? Besides, the mistress doesn't know what to treat you, you're dead."
Zhao Xing pointed to his face: "After a night, do you see if there are scars on my face?" Then he said proudly: "One hundred thousand slaves are my chance to increase the population quickly, and I will not waste my seven thousand kilograms of gold. I don't have it. Of course, Loudi can't take it away, and-"
At this time, officials from all over the country were ordered to come over one after another. When they saw the two people standing on the steps waiting, they all stepped forward to pay a visit to report.
While returning the gift, Zhao Xing and Xu Jie continued to talk about the topic just now: "I bought 100,000 slaves from Loudi. First, for humanity, I saved my 100,000 Zhou people and let them return to their hometown. For this reason, I will get the gratitude of these 100,000 people. This will become the most loyal part of my Dai County and become the basis for me to gain a firm foothold in Dai County. Second, I solved the danger in Loudi this time, and I earned Loufan's wholehearted gratitude to me. If I continue to show kindness to Loufan, they will no longer invade my Dai County."
"If you don't raise a wolf in Zhongshan, be careful that you will be harmed by him in the future." Xu Jie reminded his master with the concept of this era.
Zhao Xing smiled coldly: "Wolfs are not well-skilled, but they can be domesticated into dogs with whips. While feeding, they will continue to whip them while dipping in cold water. A wolf will eventually become a dog and will become a performance prop tamed by jugglers."
Xu Jie didn't comment.
"Actually, I have another purpose, that is, to continue to do business in Loudi, so that he can understand a truth in a subtle way. Some things can be achieved without war. As long as he has this idea, as time goes by, we can use the huge assimilation ability of the Central Plains people to assimilate him. Think about the future, maybe we don't spend a single soldier, and I will get a vast land of Loufan with hundreds of thousands of people. Do you think that my 7,000 kilograms of gold without shadows are worth it?" So, Zhao Xing said proudly: "Later, a businessman bought an emperor of descendants. But I took the lead and bought a tribe and a large area of land with commercial means. It seems that there is no need to use force that can be completed by commerce. I call this economic war. I like such wars."
Of course, Xu Jie didn't understand some of Zhao Xing's inexplicable and strange words, but it didn't delay his admiration for this master and the teacher.
"But you force your subordinates to buy slaves. Although the money is actually yours, and although it is equivalent to giving it to them for free to their slaves and servants, everyone thinks that the money you reward is theirs. As a result, you still force them to use their own money to buy things they don't want to buy. You will get everyone's complaints, and such things will damage your prestige."
Zhao Xing smiled confidently: "Wrong, I will make them happy and grateful."
"How can it be?" Xu Jie still didn't believe it.
Zhao Xing looked at the more and more officials at all levels gathered in front of the hall and whispered proudly: "Reforms happen at any time, and the means are different. The changes I promote may not be offensive to others, but they can also benefit them. Thank me. Just wait and see."
The officials arrived one after another, and this time, even the officials from all counties from all over the country came. They wanted to thank the Lord for his reward and grace and listen to the Lord’s orders and arrangements.
Three or four hundred officials could not sit in the lobby, so they could only stand in the square in front of the lobby and listen to the admonition.
In the same way, in the square, the people of Daiyi, mainly those who are all sent out smart people, stand outside and eavesdrop, and for a moment they have the feeling of crowds of people.
Looking at the officials standing by the departments and levels below, Zhao Xing was very satisfied with his achievements. From a lonely time traveler to a teacher brother who became the king, and then his own territory and subordinate subjects, his life is so brilliant. Although there are also a little regrets, such as the Lion Roar in Hedong, it is the impulse of a boy, and the impulse needs punishment, but this is just details. Details do not need to be cared for but should and must be ignored. Is life always flawed?
Zhou Tong of the Ministry of Personnel named him and confirmed that everyone was here, he formally reported to Zhao Xing, and then asked Zhao Xing to instruct him.
Zhao Xing took a step forward, Xu Jie stepped back. He went behind a table, picked up his pen, and started recording.
"My colleagues, I believe yesterday, I hope everyone will know the news of buying slaves and maids. I believe that I must have resentment towards my decision. After all, forcing people to do things they don't want to do is very annoying, and I understand this."
Zhou Tong muttered: "I know I still do this, isn't this just a fight to hate himself?"
Don’t worry about the old man’s muttering, Zhao Xing changed his tone: “Our Dai County is vast and sparsely populated. Don’t talk about the deep mountains and forests, just say that these two huge plains have 80% of the fertile land that has not been developed. What a pity, it’s a pity. So, our next step is to reclaim the land and let our Dai County become the granary of our Zhao State.” Then Zhao Xing thought about the future generations that this was the most important grain supply base in Beijing, and his heart was full of hope.
As for the fact that my master had been selling slaves from the conference, he suddenly turned to the development of the land, everyone was disproportionate and whispered to the point of being seriously off-topic for a while.
Zhao Xing knocked on the table and continued his topic: "And for us, a new law will be implemented for the land. Because Dai County is mine, so in terms of legal principles, all the landscapes of Dai County are mine."
After reading the account book, Xu Jie reminded: "Lord, but there are also eleven small lords here that were granted by the previous kings. Have they forced their forest land been taken back?"
Zhao Xing shook his head: "The fiefs of other people are obtained by their ancestors because of their various efforts. We have no right to deprive the land and property obtained by their efforts. The Ministry of Justice, now you can record a law."
The envoy of the Ministry of Justice immediately lifted the pen.
"I now stipulate that in my Dai County, all property obtained through legal means is protected by the laws of the Dai County. Even I, the Lord Xingjun, cannot be snatched arbitrarily. No one's land and homes are allowed to invade without the consent of the owner. This is called wind and rain, but the lord cannot enter. At the same time, even if the person is guilty, he only confiscated his illegal income, and no other legal income can be moved. This must be implemented in practice. This law is the same as the national law."
As soon as this law was released, all the officials and subjects were happy because their property was no longer something that anyone else could invade. Now, through their efforts, they truly became their own property.
