"Taizu once said that it is better to soothe the people than to frighten the people, and it is better to calm the people than to scare the people."

After Liu Xing asked rhetorically, Zhao Jinzhu still looked up at Liu Xing, and first said a set of things that Zhao Kuangyin said back then.

Then she paused slightly, revealing a shallow smile: "Brother Liu, you have to deal with those who have violated the new law in the name of exile, if it is you, you will not be assassinated, but exiled to the original barbaric place." Moreover, I will not be able to return to my hometown for many years, even my whole life. Will you still have a crush on my Da Song in the days to come? ”

"Maybe you want to say that Han has Su Wu shepherding sheep, but those who are exiled for crime will not become Su Wu."

The words paused again, and Zhao Jinzhu became righteous and righteous: "The reason why I dare to commit a crime must be because I am dissatisfied with and dissatisfied with the new law. Once the dissatisfaction accumulates over time, sooner or later it will evolve into hatred for our Great Song Dynasty, and eventually push those who committed crimes to the point of recovering and opposing our Great Song Dynasty. ”

After another pause, Zhao Jinzhu stared at Liu Xing and said: "So the slave family asks Brother Liu to think twice, don't openly deal with those criminals in the name of exile, and don't plant a new bane for the northeast that my Great Song Dynasty is going to pacify!" ”

After listening to what she said in one breath, Liu Xing couldn't help but secretly exclaim again: I'm going! Is this a thirteen-year-old girl? This thoughtful is not much worse than me!

In the midst of the surprise, Liu Xing's face did not change, and he smiled faintly: "What the princess is worried about, I have already expected it. However, what I can tell the princess is that I let those criminals go to Liaodong and Liaobei and must not be allowed to return to their hometowns. Since the princess is so worried, I won't hide it......"

There was a slight pause in his speech. Liu Xing turned his head to look at Lei Zhen: "Send the order to the Criminal Department, and let the Criminal Department issue a warning." Tell those criminals who were exiled to Liaodong and Liaobei that all those who formed volunteers on their own and launched an expedition against the barbarians who were not our Great Song Dynasty. Since the land he occupied was his new homeland, the looted wealth and twenty percent of his taxes belonged to his own person. ”

"The laws of the Great Song Dynasty are not applicable to the volunteers when they fight abroad. The military law of my Great Song Dynasty. It will not be used as a criterion for rectifying those volunteers in the future. That is to say, those criminals can form volunteers on their own and expand their territory to the land that is not our Great Song Dynasty at will. Speaking of this, Liu Xing looked sideways at Zhao Jinzhu.

After a strange and cold smile appeared on his face, Liu Xing continued: "Running horses occupy an area, whoever takes the land of a foreign race, that land is his." If I take a lot of land, I will not only not hold him accountable, but will give him a knighthood. 100 miles of man, 500 miles of seals, thousands of miles of uncle. If any criminal has great ability and gives me thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the master doesn't mind making him a marquis of a hereditary land. ”

Baron Bailifeng, Viscount Wubailifeng, whoever snatches the new territory of Qianli from a foreign race. Directly named him an earl.

These decisions about the title in Liu Xing's words were not enough to shock Zhao Jinzhu. What shocked the little princess was the last sentence "The marquis of the hereditary land." ”

Hereditary, that is the inheritance of generations, even according to Liu Xing's unexpected new title system, the father is the marquis, the son is the uncle, at least five generations must be inherited, until his descendants are demoted to only the third class cloud cavalry captain, his family will become nobles for generations.

This kind of hereditary replacement is not worrying, on the contrary, it is very reassuring.

But once it is associated with the "land of self-possession". The meaning is completely different.

What's the difference? The difference is that in the current Great Song Dynasty, even if it is the hereditary title of Yang Yi and others. After being sealed, they only take money and have no fiefdom, and they cannot claim to be a prince.

But if it is self-advocate, it is to let those new nobles become a country and become a prince on the land that they have seized back outside the Great Song Dynasty.

The rebellions of the princes have occurred frequently in the past dynasties. From the Han Dynasty to the Two Jin Dynasty, and even to the Tang Dynasty. The princes rebelled against the imperial court, and how great a disaster it brought to the Central Plains Dynasty. That's something that anyone who can read some history books will know at a glance.

So when Liu Xing finished speaking, Zhao Jinzhu was completely anxious.

She grabbed Liu Xing's hand and said urgently: "Brother Liu, are you going to divide the princes on Xinjiang soil?" This is unacceptable, unacceptable! ”

"Why not?"

In fact, he also knew why she couldn't help it, but Liu Xing still smiled and asked her with a mocking smile. The reason why Liu Xing asked knowingly was actually to see how meticulous this little princess's mind was and what level her political thinking ability had reached.

"If you do the sealing method. In the future, sooner or later, the world will be full of princes, and the Great Song Dynasty will be uneasy! Zhao Jinzhu shook Liu Xing's hand without thinking, and said: "Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is not uncommon for princes to bring disaster to the country and the people. ”

History, of course, Liu Xing sees it very clearly. After the little princess finished speaking, Liu Xing secretly snickered in her heart: It's just like that, she only knows one thing and doesn't know the other, or she is in the same vein as the short-sighted emperors of her Zhao family.

Snickering, Liu Xing looked at her and said, "Han Youtuen and Tang Na are the products of the Li family's own messing. Princess, what I dare to do, can I not do it? What I want to do, which one and which one is to harm the Great Song Dynasty? Didn't you? So, don't say more. If I dare to do this, there must still be a backhand. ”

At this point, without giving Zhao Jinzhu a chance to speak, Liu Xing looked at Lei Zhen again and said his new order.

These new orders were all for Lei Zhen to send Zong Ze. First of all, Liu Xing asked Zong Ze to lead the Privy Council to formulate a mercenary method for the princes of the territory.

There are three basic principles, one of which is that the mercenaries should not exceed the strength of the officers and soldiers and patrol soldiers in their territory. Anyone who has a lord's troops and horses and a strength that exceeds the local garrison, whether overt or covert, will be regarded as complicit in rebellion and severely punished.

The second is not to compete with the imperial court for soldiers, that is, all men who are ordered by the imperial court and are of military service age in the Great Song Dynasty are not allowed to switch to the lord's private soldiers.

If all means such as high salaries are used to recruit men of appropriate age by the imperial court into the lord's private soldiers. At the least, the lord will be cut down and the land will be confiscated, and the heavy punishment will be beheaded, and all his people will be sentenced to the indoctrination camp and become criminals.

Third, the lord's private army and the court can call it at any time, and the lord will not resist, otherwise he will be regarded as complicit. And the imperial court is stationed in the territory, whether it is the border army, the forbidden army or the patrol army, those lords have absolutely no right to collude. Those who dare to tamper with the soldiers of the imperial court will also be regarded as complicity and will be severely punished.

At the same time, let Zong Ze give an order to Hu Anguo and let the council come up with a set. Three points are clarified, first of all, all laws must be revised based on the law of the Great Song Dynasty, and secondly, only local taxes are taken, and no tax items of the imperial court are used as the expenses of their autonomous domains.

Third, forty percent of the local taxes collected each year shall be paid to the imperial court, two percent shall be paid to the lord himself, and forty percent shall be used by his territory. (To be continued.) )
