Chapter 601: Adjustment of Government Decree
"Yes, Your Highness. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Fiji's excitement at the Qingzhou camp was palpable, and he was annoyed by these idle officials these days.
However, remembering something, he asked: "Your Highness, the lower officials heard that this time the wealthy families of Wei Land will have their property confiscated even if they are innocent, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
"Yes, this is the policy when dealing with the wealthy families of the feudal country three years ago." Xiao Ming nodded and waited for Fiji's next step.
Fiji looked a little worried when he heard this, he said: "Your Highness, the lower officials think that the policy of three years ago is not suitable for Weidi, this time the Southern Expeditionary Army can take the city of Wei so quickly, firstly, because the Southern Expeditionary Army is strong, and secondly, His Highness promised to let go of those children of the wealthy families who surrendered, and now His Highness confiscates their property only for fear that they will have hatred in their hearts and will repeat, in this way, the difficulty of governing Wei will be greatly increased, Your Highness should not forget, to this day, there are still wealthy families in the feudal country of His Highness. ”
"Fei Ge Lao's words are wrong, it's not that His Highness is not merciful, but after His Highness bypassed these wealthy clans, not only did they not be grateful to Dade, but tried to murder His Highness, the wealthy clans in Wei are more deep-rooted than the feudal country, if they don't get rid of the evil, they will have disasters in the future."
"What Niu Dudu said is exactly what this king is worried about, compared to the number and power of the wealthy clans in Weidi, the wealthy clans who were originally feudal are just a small thing, but this king's confiscation of their family property is just the part of their greedy people, what's wrong with this?" Xiao Ming said.
Fiji smiled lightly, and he said: "These days with His Highness, Xia Guan found that His Highness's character is very strong, which is a good thing for a king, but it is easy to break if His Highness wants to achieve a generation of Maven, he must have both the fierceness of a tiger and the cunning of a fox." ”
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, Pang Yukun also said this about him, but he thought that he had changed a lot, but he didn't expect that it would still be this image in the eyes of Fiji.
"Elder Fei Ge might as well say it directly."
Xiao Ming can still listen to the advice of the contrary, and Fiji is very knowledgeable, and his understanding of the Great Chongqing Country is much deeper than his, and he is also willing to learn.
"Then the old minister will be too talkative." Fiji pondered for a moment, and he said: "Now His Highness's main thing is not to suppress the Hao clan, but to end the domestic disputes and unify the Great Yu State, although the Hao clan in Wei is still powerful, but it can no longer threaten His Highness, after all, the King of Wei cannot confront His Highness, who can have this ability than the King of Wei?" ”
Xiao Ming nodded.
Fiji continued: "Since no one can threaten His Highness's rule over Wei, why should His Highness make enemies in Wei, so that a rich Wei land will continue to fall into war and civil strife, now His Highness is determined to the world, what is needed is money and food and supporters, and the wealthy families of the people in the past generations are all grass on the wall, if His Highness gives grace, they will become His Highness's minions again, and when His Highness conquers the world, the wealthy families in the various vassal countries will not be countered by death." ”
Niu Ben glanced at Fiji, his expression a little complicated.
"The lower officials know that His Royal Highness was murdered by the wealthy family three years ago, but the situation has changed, and the current Royal Highness is not the weak His Royal Highness back then, and the lower officials also agree with the handling of the feudal wealthy family three years ago, after all, there were internal and external troubles at that time, and they could not leave hidden dangers in the feudal country." Fiji said.
"So what does Fei Ge Lao mean to let this king win the support of the wealthy clans?" Xiao Mingyin said that the most important thing for His Royal Highness at present is to unify the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and he vaguely understood Fiji's thoughts.
"Exactly, the wealthy clan of Wei Di must be suppressed, but they must not be forced to rebel, so that Wei Di can quickly resume production and become the granary of His Highness."
Xiao Ming frowned, he looked at Wei Di on the sand table, this fief with thirteen states was larger than his original fiefdom, and the number of people in the fief was also three times that of the six states.
As Fiji said, it would be a troublesome thing to turn the Hao clan back, because it would mean that the cost of managing Wei would be greatly increased, and he would even need to send some soldiers to suppress the rebellion.
In this way, he may get bogged down in war and waste his national strength, which will be extremely disadvantageous to him, because the real enemy he faces is the vassal king.
When he solves these vassal kings, there will be no more separatist forces in the country, and it will not be too late for him to solve these wealthy clans at that time.
However, putting it aside for the time being does not mean that he does not deal with it at all, but changes the method of boiling frogs in warm water, looking at Fiji, he wants to continue to test Fiji's ability, so he said: "Then what do you say about how to deal with it?" ”
"First, confiscate land from the big wealthy families in various states and distribute it to the local people, and confiscate their family property, because these wealthy families are all staunch supporters of the King of Wei, and most of the children of the family hold official positions in the government office, and second, curb the middle wealthy families and unite the small wealthy families, there are many such wealthy families, they are attached to the local big wealthy families, but they have resentment against the suppression of the big wealthy families, so their land and property can be partially confiscated. The third is that there are some more enlightened and virtuous wealthy families in various states and counties, and His Royal Highness should appease them and win their support. Fiji said with a smile.
Xiao Ming laughed when he heard this, and he said to Fiji: "Did Fei Ge Lao read any interesting books in Bowen College these days?" ”
"Your Highness guessed it?" Fiji was a little embarrassed.
Xiao Ming said: "These books were written by this king, how can I not know? You are right, this time the king was a little negligent, did not make a timely and appropriate decree on Wei Di, but it seems that it is not too late now, this matter of dealing with the wealthy family of Wei will be handed over to Fei Ge Lao, as you said, this king needs a stable and prosperous Wei land, not a war-torn Wei land. ”
Fiji breathed a sigh of relief, since the last time he was scolded by Xiao Ming, he had been reading books in the liberal arts college, and gradually learned some magical policies.
This bold proposal is also at the risk of being scolded, but this time he was right.
"Yes, Your Highness, the old minister will live up to His Highness's expectations." Fiji said solemnly.
Niu Ben gradually understood under Fiji's explanation, and he said: "Fei Ge Lao is not a Fei Ge Lao, if Wei Di is politically harmonious, this southern expeditionary army will not have to spend in Wei to suppress bandits." ”
After a pause, he confidently said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, this battle of Wei is enough to prove the strength of the feudal army, in the eyes of the last general, none of the other vassal kings is the opponent of His Royal Highness, after taking Wei Di, His Royal Highness should take the initiative to attack, level Liuhe as soon as possible, and ascend to the throne." ”
