Because Dian Wei was left in the barracks to select personal guards, Wang Xu rushed back to Taishou Mansion alone. After finding Tian Feng, who was reviewing the official documents, he didn't explain much, and directly dragged him to the study in his backyard.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Tian Feng, who was inexplicable, couldn't help but ask: "Lord, you are in such a hurry to pull me here, but what happened." ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile slightly, and he was not in a hurry, and after pulling Tian Feng to sit down, he said unhurriedly: "It's not a big deal, I just want to talk to you about the barbarians' handling methods." At present, everything is moving towards normalization, and only the problem of barbarians worries me the most. ”

"I see!" Tian Feng suddenly raised his head and smiled, but then he stroked his beard and asked calmly, "Then I don't know what the lord thinks about this?" ”

For the barbarians, Wang Xu's own idea is to coexist peacefully and achieve the great integration of the famous clans. But it is clearly inappropriate to say so now. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled slightly: "Yuan Hao, my idea is to appease, and it is best to completely integrate them into them and become the most ordinary people in my county, so as to completely eliminate worries." You also know my goal in the future, if we don't completely calm them down, if there is a fire in the backyard, it will be our biggest obstacle. ”

After listening carefully to these words, Tian Feng immediately nodded with a smile and agreed: "What the lord said is good, and it is not enough to appease the barbarians to help the world. Originally, according to my idea, it was to subdue its leader, and then pay equal attention to grace and power to achieve the purpose of suppression. And since the lord is so open-minded and willing to educate the barbarians, of course it is better. ”

"Huh?" Wang Xu glanced at Tian Feng with some surprise, because he didn't expect him to be able to accept it lightly. Because in his thinking, the attitude of the literati of this era towards the barbarians was extremely extreme. I couldn't help but ask strangely: "I didn't expect Yuan Hao to support me so much, I thought you would oppose it?" ”

"My lord, of course, the overall situation is the most important thing in everything, and I am not a person who does not know the general situation." Tian Feng smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Wang Xu immediately laughed: "Since this is the case, what good way does Yuan Hao have?" ”

"Actually, it's very simple." As he spoke, Tian Feng stopped, glanced at Wang Xu with a smile, and gestured with his hand on the table. "Lord, the barbarians in the four counties of Jingnan are mainly concentrated in Wuling, and in the mountainous areas to the west and south of Wuling, the total number of barbarians living in the four counties of Jingnan accounts for two-thirds. And Changsha, Guiyang and our Lingling occupy one of the three, and among them, there are more Lingling. So really speaking, if you want to realize the idea of the lord, it is best to start from Lingling. If there are too few barbarians, then the influence is not enough. There are too many barbarians, and it is more difficult to implement them at the beginning. ”

Wang Xu frowned and thought about it, and couldn't help nodding and said, "Hmm!" Yuan Hao's words are extremely true, but how to actually operate it? As far as I know, Liu Yu also wanted to appease and integrate when he took office as the assassin of Youzhou, and some time ago he was transferred to the assassin of Youzhou again, which was also a continuation of the policy of that year. But he has encountered a lot of resistance, so many years of hard work, the results are not great, although he himself is respected by all ethnic groups in the border area, but it is still far from real stability. What's more, I'm going to do this in a short period of time. ”

"Hahaha...... The lord was too worried. After listening to Wang Xu's words, Tian Feng suddenly burst out laughing, shook his head and said, "The situation in Youzhou is completely different from Jingnan. Although the Southern Xiongnu have surrendered, there have still been defections of individual tribes from time to time in the past 100 years, especially with the people of the border areas, and it is naturally very difficult to appease and integrate in this case. ”

"But the barbarians in Jingnan are different, they have been subjugated for a long time, and they have lived and communicated with our tribe a lot, and in many areas there are even cases where the two tribes are mixed. So, in fact, they have learned that it is easier to communicate even than the mountain tribes in the south of Yangzhou and the Nanban in Yizhou. Although there were occasional rebellions, they were almost always caused by excessive oppression by local officials, so it was not difficult to achieve the goal as long as reasonable and effective decrees were formulated and strictly enforced. ”

Hearing Tian Feng's incisive analysis, Wang Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately smiled: "Then Yuan Hao has a good plan?" ”

Seeing that Wang Xu asked about the specific implementation details, Tian Feng couldn't help but slowly close his flickering eyes, and after a while, he opened them suddenly: "Lord, there are three in total." First, a decree was issued to appease the inhabitants of the county, and to make them tolerate it with the prestige of the lord and the trust and love of the people in the immediate aftermath of the great disaster. ”

"Second, send a shrewd and eloquent man to persuade the barbarian chieftain to issue an order that the barbarians should be equal to our people, and that the barbarian villages should be incorporated into the county government, and that certain changes should be made in the decree according to their special customs. It is also advisable to promise the barbarian leader a position in the army, to make sense and induce him to benefit. ”

"Third, it is necessary to strictly prohibit discrimination between the two ethnic groups, and not to talk about ethnic contradictions."

Speaking of this, Tian Feng took a deep breath before he stroked his beard and said, "Lord, in fact, now is the right time. At present, the chaos has just been settled, and the people are too busy with their own livelihoods to take care of anything else, so there can be much less resistance. And the prestige of the lord and his current position in the hearts of the people can also effectively suppress a qiē opponent. ”

As Tian Feng's voice fell, Wang Xu immediately burst out laughing: "Hahaha...... Okay, Yuan Hao's words are really to my liking! ”

Saying that, Wang Xu frowned and thought about it again, and solemnly continued: "However, I think it is also possible to slightly change the military service system of the imperial court for barbarians, after all, many of the previous rebellions were due to excessive military service and conscription. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of people who are subject to military service and mix with ordinary soldiers, and they can also be promoted by virtue of their own skills and abilities. And the conscription was changed to the same as the ordinary people, what did Yuan Hao think? ”

"Hmm!" Tian Feng immediately nodded, and then added: "However, in this case, we must coordinate with General Gao and them, and we must ensure that the various treatments of these soldiers are the same as ordinary soldiers, otherwise it may be counterproductive." Moreover, it is necessary to pay special attention to unity and discipline in the army, and there must be absolutely no phenomenon of bullying and oppression. ”

"I'll have a good talk with Gao Shun and the others about this, they are very strict in governing the army, as long as the order goes down, there shouldn't be any difference." Saying that, Wang Xu paused, raised his head and said with a smile: "It's the candidate who went to persuade, who does Yuan Hao think is better?" This man must be eloquent and quick-witted, and he must also know the meaning of the decree. ”

Tian Feng glanced at Wang Xu deeply, but he didn't rush to speak, but said with a smile: "I'm afraid the lord has already made up his mind in his heart, why do you need to ask me again?" ”

"Huh!" Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help laughing: "I just want to see if Yuan Hao and I have the same idea." ”

"Pang Ji, Pang Ziyou!" Tian Feng didn't go around the bend anymore, and spit out the name of the person who came with a smile.

"Hahaha......" Wang Xu suddenly laughed, stood up and said: "Yuan Hao, then I will leave this matter to you with full authority, how about it?" ”

"No! The subordinates will certainly complete this matter by the spring of the next year. After speaking, Tian Feng did not retire immediately, but sat there with a smile and waited quietly.

Seeing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but be surprised. This Tian Feng is inevitably too godly, he even knows that he still has something to say? I wanted to wait for him to get up and then suddenly stop him, but now he was waiting for him to say it.

Thinking of this, Wang Xu had an idea, wanted to deceive Tian Feng, and couldn't help but ask with confusion: "Yuan Hao, I don't know what else is going on?" ”

When Tian Feng heard this, he calmly straightened his beard and looked at Wang Xu for a long time before he suddenly laughed: "Hahaha...... Why should the lord continue to tease me, since the lord has already mentioned the barbarians, he must take the last step to stabilize the Lingling. Why is there one thing that is always avoided? ”

Seeing Tian Feng debunking it so bluntly, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, and sighed: "Yuan Hao's wisdom is really rare in the world!" It's hard to even make a joke. ”

As he spoke, he shook his head, stopped playing, and immediately solemnly continued: "Since Yuan Hao already knows, I won't say more about it, I don't know if you have any good ideas?" ”

Tian Feng was obviously more solemn than just now, and he was silent for a long time before he sighed slowly: "Hey! Lord, in the past 100 years, when local officials take office, what they are most afraid of is the problem of being resisted by the local family, and this is inevitable. However, at present, the problem of the Lingling Gate Valve Family is not too obvious. During this time, I also paid attention to it, because there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion first, then the Barbarian Rebellion, and this time it was caused by thieves such as Ou Xing, so many families suffered a lot of losses, and Lingling's problem was not a big one. As long as the lord controls it well, takes the opportunity to weaken, and restricts it, there is no need to worry at all. ”

Saying that, Tian Feng paused, and then lowered his voice and said: "It's just that the lord's wish is the whole of Jingzhou, which is a little difficult." Because as far as I know, there are many big families in Jingzhou, and they are very powerful. Therefore, for the sake of the future, it is necessary to issue some restrictive decrees from now on, although it is useless for the time being, but when the lord enters other counties with force in the future, especially north of Jingzhou, it will be logical. Then they are co-opted, restricted, divided, weakened, and gradually suppressed step by step. Originally, I personally didn't agree with this kind of suppression, but the lord has great ambitions, so he should naturally treat it with extraordinary care. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu thought for a long time before slowly asking, "Can there be a specific decree?" ”

"I can't say this at the moment, it's best to go out one by one, and then take the next step according to the reactions of all sides, so as to avoid a sudden big move, and the guide zhì strong rebound. At present, the wealthy families of the Lingling County are not very powerful, and they only need to limit their rights and influence, and it is best to direct them to the side of money, and use money and wealth to divert their attention to power. ”

"Hmmm! Yuan Hao's words are extremely true. Nodding, Wang Xu also said categorically: "In short, I don't care how much money they have, but there is one point, the scope of land must be controlled, the strength of the family must be controlled, the number of vassals must be controlled, and the rights of officials in various places must also be controlled." As for their connections and influence in the court, I am not afraid. Therefore, Yuan Hao, you must help me formulate a detailed plan, at present, it is mainly suitable for these families in Jingnan, as for those big families in the north of Jingzhou, I will think of some special ways to help deal with it in the future. ”

"Now that the lord has made up his mind, then I will let it go. But now I need to gather a lot of details, and when it's finalized, I'll submit it to my lord for review. ”

"Good!" Wang Xu nodded suddenly.

Watching Tian Feng slowly get up and leave, Wang Xu's heart was finally completely relieved. Next, we just need to survive this winter, train the army to govern the government, and completely restore the Lingling. When you don't have any worries in the spring of next year, it's time to take Guiyang......
