Chapter 354: Grace and Might
Seeing off the patriarchs of the mountain barbarian tribes, Ouyang Shuo prepared to receive the second group of guests. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This group of guests has a more special identity.
They are the leaders of the tribes of the steppe. Except for the Khan Meng Ke of the Tianyan tribe, who did not come in person due to physical reasons, the leaders of the other seven medium-sized tribes all arrived.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, the leaders of all ethnic groups were "invited" by the Second Division to Shanhai City.
Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City, and he had no time to spare, leaving the leaders aside.
"Meet the Prince!"
Walking into the main hall, all the leaders saluted in unison.
This is a historic moment.
This kneeling of the leaders, on behalf of all the departments of the grassland, officially returned to Shanhai City.
Ouyang Shuo sat upright, accepted the salute calmly, and said lightly: "You guys are seated!" ”
"No!"
The leaders sat down obediently, looking worried.
Among them, on behalf of the Tianyan tribe, is Munch's eldest son, Jida, who is also nearly thirty years old. Unlike the other chiefs, this man had a rebellious expression and sat first in the left row.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo frowned imperceptibly.
Among the leaders, there are those who are delicate-minded, and they are already gloating in their hearts.
Jeddah really doesn't know whether to live or die, and at this time, there is still a shelf for the first tribe of the steppe.
Compared with the kindness when he met with the mountain barbarian tribe, Ouyang Shuo's expression at the moment was a little cold, and he said: "Before you surrendered, there was also a leader named Dari Achi on the grassland, who also led his troops to surrender. ”
As soon as the words fell, the hearts of the leaders trembled.
During the Battle of Lianzhou, Dari Achi tried to collude with the coalition army, but because of his lack of secrecy, he was put in prison by Shanhai City, which had already spread in the grassland.
Lian Zhouhou suddenly mentioned this matter, and the meaning is self-evident.
Sure enough, Ouyang Shuo's face was angry, and he said awe-inspiringly: "For Dari Achi, Shanhai City has never treated badly. Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be a wolf with ambition and intended to rebel. For such a white-eyed wolf, Ben Hou will never tolerate it. The Criminal Investigation Division has already concluded that in a few days, Dari Achi will be beheaded in the street to set the record straight. ”
The leaders, pale, trembled and said, "Monarch Shengming! ”
The taste is really mixed.
"I won't hide it from you. A minister once made a statement to Ben Hou, saying that Dari Achi was a model for the grassland, and such people were indispensable. For all parts of the grassland, thunderous means should be used to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to set an example. ”
Ouyang Shuo's face was pale, and the words he said were a sea of blood.
"What do you think?"
Ouyang Shuo's words were not entirely bluffing.
The minister in his mouth is Tian Wenjing, the director of the interior.
The case of Dari Achi was handled by the Home Affairs Department. After Tian Wenjing reported the case to Ouyang Shuo, he took the opportunity to put forward a proposal to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots of the leaders of the various departments.
At that time, Ouyang Shuo was noncommittal, which was equivalent to shelving Tian Wenjing's proposal.
Compared with killing, Ouyang Shuo was more biased, and adopted a relatively mild method to solve the problems left over after the return of the various tribes of the grassland. He didn't want to catch all the nobles.
After all, Dari Achi is just an example.
The grasslands are unified, even if they want to rebel, there are no conditions.
The most important thing is that if Ouyang Shuo wants to win the hearts of the people of the grasslands, he must treat these nobles well.
Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.
Ouyang Shuo didn't want to see that under his rule, there was a chaotic grassland. Unifying the Lianzhou Basin and operating Lianzhou County into a large rear like an iron barrel is Ouyang Shuo's strategic choice.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, if you really slaughter the grassland nobles, it will not only chill the hearts of the grassland herdsmen, but also the hearts of the mountain barbarians. The death of a rabbit and a fox is sad, but it is not a joke.
The leaders looked at each other, and their faces became whiter and paler.
Seeing that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable, the leaders, who do not want to sit idly by, have come forward to declare their allegiance and clear their name, one by one, speaking sincerely.
"Prince! Prince!! One of the leaders fell directly to the ground, with a cry in his voice, where is there still the majesty and self-esteem of the leader of a clan, "The prince is a great virtue, it is not a pity for Dari Achi to die, but it cannot represent all the tribes of the grassland." We are sincere and obedient, and there is no second heart, and please also ask the prince to be clear! ”
"Please be clear!"
……
"The Marquis Clear!"
Among them, only Jeddah did not plead, and there was even a disdain in his eyes for the attitude of the leaders, and a disdainful snort came out of his nostrils.
Jeddah's words and deeds are like "standing out from the crowd", and it is impossible not to attract attention.
"Prince Jeddah, it seems that you have a different opinion?"
Ouyang Shuo's expression was indifferent, but there was a hint of wit in his words.
When Jida heard this, he said with a big grin: "Since ancient times, the king has been defeated, and Dari Achi is innocent of death, but it does not have to affect us. The tribe of heaven has no seeds. ”
Ouyang Shuo's eyes lit up, and Jeddah's words were soft and hard.
It not only stated its position, but also maintained the pride and face of the royal family.
In just one sentence, it is extremely level.
For this person, Ouyang Shuo wants to re-evaluate.
Perhaps, cynicism is nothing more than a "coat" for Jeddah to protect himself.
Munch raised a good son.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Okay, that's a good point." ”
He looked around, his voice slow but full of power: "As the Lord of the People." Ben Hou is responsible for the territory, has the heart of the owner, and knows the way of forgiveness. But if someone is stubborn, in order to maintain the order of the territory, Ben Hou will not hesitate to show the wrath of thunder, and drown in the ocean with blood! ”
Majesty, the majesty and murderous aura that towered like a mountain filled the entire hall.
Irresistible slaughter and prestige.
All the leaders fell to their knees at the same time, even the "cynical" Jeddah, who also knelt down at this moment.
The leaders prostrated in unison, no one dared to speak, and there was a dead silence in the hall.
Looking at those trembling figures, Ouyang Shuo secretly sighed. The people who are prostrate in front of them are the top people on the grassland, representing the most peak strength of the grassland.
Now, they are all prostrate at their feet, and they dare not breathe.
That's where the power comes in.
It is no wonder that throughout the ages, countless heroes have gone to the trouble for this.
In the afternoon of the same day, Ouyang Shuo made a promise.
For the leaders of the grassland tribes and a cadre of nobles, they were allowed to bring their private wealth and move to Shanhai City to settle down.
Shanhai City will demarcate an area in the outer city and establish an exclusive neighborhood for them to live in.
On weekdays, the nobles were not allowed to go out of the neighborhood, let alone contact the clansmen.
Once it is found, it will be severely punished.
In addition, a joint sitting system will be introduced.
If one person is investigated, the nobles of the entire tribe will be punished.
Property shall be confiscated in the light case, and hard labour shall be imposed in the worst case.
If there is still a rebellious heart, the whole clan will be slaughtered!
Under the combination of grace and power, all parts of the grassland can only crawl at the feet of Ouyang Shuo.
**********
February 22, the second day of the first lunar month.
On this day, Ouyang Shuo left all his affairs behind and specially met with the prefects and city guards in the study.
The four prefects and one city guard reported to Ouyang Shuo in turn.
Ouyang Shuo met with them one by one and pointed out the plans and requirements for each prefecture and city. The key object of explanation is naturally Zhou Haichen, the prefect of the Broken Blade Mansion.
Although Badao was ruthless, it also left a territory with deep roots.
According to Zhou Haichen's report, the total population of Broken Blade County is more than 210,000 people, which is equivalent to two full-population third-level counties.
Broken Blade Mansion has become the most populous territory in one fell swoop except for Shanhai Mansion.
Even the Mulan Mansion is dwarfed.
With such a huge population, if you want to rely on Shanhai City to accumulate, I don't know how long it will accumulate. Broken Blade Mansion is also the most successful case since the implementation of Ouyang Shuo's "Gu Cultivation Plan".
In addition, the greatest wealth of the Broken Blade Mansion is the gold mine discovered by the Badao.
Like the Wolf Mountain Mine, the gold mine named the North Mountain Mine by Badao, the gold ore contains very amazing. What the Badao is really mined is just a drop in the bucket.
Ouyang Shuo immediately promised that the Beishan Mine would be under the direct jurisdiction of the Broken Blade Mansion. He also hopes that through the Kitayama mine, the financial situation of the Broken Blade Mansion will be improved.
During the reign of Badao, more than ninety percent of the territory's fiscal revenue was used to develop armaments. Expenditure on people's livelihood and public finances is almost zero.
The Broken Blade Mansion is in dire need of recovery.
Of course, although the Beishan Mine is classified into the Broken Blade Mansion, the Hou Mansion doesn't really care about it. In addition to the required proportion, the funds should be handed over to the Financial Services Department in the form of fiscal revenue.
Ouyang Shuo also instructed the Wolf Mountain Mine to send experts and skilled personnel to guide the Beishan Mine and improve its mining and refining levels to increase gold production.
Finally, Ouyang Shuo put forward three requirements for Zhou Haichen.
First, the Broken Blade Mansion should immediately set up a battalion of the Dongla Lake Water Division to eliminate the water bandits in Dongla Lake and create conditions for the development of Dongla Lake. Whether it is aquatic fishing or artificial pearl farming, it is necessary to take advantage of it as soon as possible.
Second, all counties under the Broken Blade Prefecture, especially the county towns that are second-level subordinate territories, should be withdrawn, and the population should be gathered in the main city and efforts should be made to develop a city.
Third, the planning of the outer city wall of Broken Blade City should be carried out in a timely manner, and strive to build the city wall before spring sowing. If it can't be built, it has to be put on hold for the time being. Wait until spring sowing before continuing construction.
In addition, Ouyang Shuo had already ordered the Military Affairs Department to be responsible for forming the Broken Blade City City Guard Brigade.
Compared to Gushan County, Broken Blade City is closer to the 100,000 Great Mountain.
In the future, Broken Blade City will be at the forefront of defending Chiyou City.
After the debriefing, the prefects set off for the next day to return to the administrative office.
The plan of the year lies in the spring, and as the prefects, they really don't have much free time. Even Cui Shouhei, after meeting his cousin Cui Yingyu briefly, had to embark on the return journey immediately.
Before Zhou Haichen left, Ouyang Shuo handed him a token. It is a village building token that Ouyang Shuo used to fuse before. This token will reactivate Broken Blade City.
Giving away this token, Ouyang Shuo had three more such tokens in his storage bag. (To be continued.) )
