Chapter 2157
"Since we have talked about this, this matter has been decided. From tomorrow on, you will take people to overthrow the temple, smash the Buddhist incense burner, and all good land and oasis will be divided into unified divisions, so that the coalition forces will only collect no more than 20% of the tax on the people of the Western Regions!"
"In addition, I want to set up several departments to manage the dunes. From today on, this place will no longer be allowed to take human lives and robbery. Everything will be done according to the rules!"
"I want to protect the interests of everyone here, let them know who is their savior, and let them see that the Buddhist sects in the past were just exploiting them again. Only by following us can we turn over and become masters!"
Zhou Jian spoke one after another, his eyes shining like a torch, and his whole body exuded a leader's light.
The people from the Twenty-Three Tribes were said to be stunned and were all at a loss. This was the first time they heard of such a novel thing. Why did they have to establish rules as they were fighting?
"wrong!"
"Only twenty percent are collected?" Someone exclaimed, and even thought he had heard it wrongly. Zhou Jian said whether they took eighty or twenty or not.
But they could hear Zhou Jian's words clearly next.
"Yes, only 20% are charged. At present, there is a trading department and a yamen bar. The trading department is responsible for all transactions and market security, ensuring that people here can get shelter from trading."
"As for the yamen, it's very simple. Whoever dares to kill and set fire to bully the lower class will do everything according to the rules. I will write the punishments as soon as possible." Zhou Jian said calmly. He firmly believed that doing so was the biggest way to truly overthrow the Dunhuang rule, and war was just a bad strategy.
These measures are undoubtedly subversive. There has been no law in this wild land of the Western Regions since ancient times. This is the first time such a novel system has appeared.
This undoubtedly made the people of the Twenty-Three Tribes a little uncomfortable and talked a lot!
Zhou Jian looked at these people and knew very well that this road would not be so smooth. After all, these races have become accustomed to burning, killing, looting, and have no civilized ways to change. If you want to change, you need to bleed!
So he specially summoned five hundred young and strong sects who survived the battlefield to fulfill their promises, so that they could all be promoted and made money, abolish the slave surnames, and let them take charge of these two departments, and obey him only.
These five hundred people were extremely grateful, and they burst into tears. They were all so excited that they shouted loudly, yelling and swearing to be loyal to Zhou Jian to the death.
In their opinion, Zhou Jian is even more timid than his own father!
Soon, the plan began to be implemented.
In just one day, the news ignited the entire dune land, and the people were as ecstatic, uneasy, disbelief, and were talking everywhere!
The Yamen and the Trade Department quickly established themselves on the ruins of the temple. All the oasis lands, suitable for planting, were all divided into people based on human heads.
Those places that they usually dare not wish for have become their homes, and their autonomy only requires low taxes and harvests. This is the first time in thousands of years on the land of the Western Regions!
In an instant, Zhou Jian established a high prestige in the sand dunes!
But the matter was only less than three days later, and the problem arose. People from the twenty-three tribes could not restrain themselves, and could not quit burning, killing, looting, robbing beauty and swallowing wealth. In just one afternoon, many people suffered and mourned!
But these people dare not seek justice at all.
After Zhou Jian found out about this, he was extremely furious and waved his hand and ordered the establishment of the yamen to arrest people. No matter what background or tribe, all of them would be suppressed and act according to the rules.
Even if you have military achievements, you cannot offset it!
On that day alone, more than 100 people were cut down on the heads and hung them on the Hunchback Mountain so that all the people in the dunes could see them, letting them know that this place was different and they were qualified to survive!
