Chapter 18 Unwanted Europe
"Although you are already crowned kings, you can't act recklessly within the territory and exploit the common people.

All actions must be carried out in accordance with the laws of the Song Dynasty. If there is any resentment among the people, don't blame me for killing people and cutting down the land! "

Ji Yue looked at the joyful faces of the hundred or so princes who had just been rewarded below, and couldn't help pouring cold water on them to prevent them from being too presumptuous.

Now cracking the earth to seal the king is talking about restoring the system of princes of Ji and Zhou, but in reality, it is definitely impossible for them to really have the same degree of freedom as princes of Ji and Zhou.

It can only be said that he has a little more power and a little more status than the original frontier officials.

Essentially, the constraints will be slightly greater than those of the original vassal state.

"I dare not!" Although the responses below were slightly uneven, they were still very respectful.

……

This title carnival lasted for more than a month, and it didn't subside slowly until the knighted ones went to their own fiefs to take office.

For a long time to come, Ji Yue is not going to continue to expand, because the domestic population is really sparse now, if the expansion is forced, even if it can be expanded in the past, then the newly expanded territory will be very bad stable.

The most urgent thing at present is to quickly gather up those newly conquered places as soon as possible, and truly tame them.

Among them, India is slightly better. As long as a group of Brahmins and Dishana classes are killed and tamed, the rest will be easy to deal with.

The most difficult thing to deal with is the European side, which is now in the Middle Ages, and it is still in the middle and late Middle Ages, almost in the darkest period, so there is no need to elaborate on the degree of ignorance.

Even though the Holy See and all the royal families have been killed, the remaining nobles and serfs are still not easy to deal with.

Firstly, it is difficult to communicate because of the different languages, and secondly, because they are quite stubborn and do not listen to orders at all.

And the environmental problems over there are really terrible. During the previous attack, because they could plunder the assets of those nobles, everyone was quite active. Facing the harsh environment, they gritted their teeth and squeezed their noses to survive.

But after the attack, it really became a place that everyone detested.

When enfeoffing before, Ji Yue originally planned to divide the whole of Europe into sixteen duchies and enfeoff them to sixteen dukes.But the sixteen dukes all resigned with very ugly faces, preferring to have a smaller fief than to accept the fief over there.

In the end, they had no choice but to assign them to Southeast Asia, but because Southeast Asia was relatively close, their respective fiefdoms were reduced by nearly half, but even so, they happily accepted it from the inside out.

It can be seen from this that how unpopular those European territories are?

Ji Yue was also very worried about that side, after the propaganda of those soldiers who came back, coupled with the fact that the sixteen dukes clearly refused before.

Now if Ji Yue wants to send any official to Europe to govern the world, that official would rather resign than go.

It made everyone look at it like a scourge.

Coupled with the rumors that were passed on one after another, in the end, the rumors spread so badly that the land in Europe was almost passed on by them as the real hellish land.

In the Chuigong Hall, Ji Yue specially summoned the left and right prime ministers and the heads of the six ministries for this purpose.

"Since the land in Europe has been conquered, we can't just leave it alone like that. Tell me, is there any solution?" Ji Yue raised his head and glanced at them, and asked listlessly.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't think of a way, Ji Yue wouldn't bother to summon them.

Speaking of it, it is still a disadvantage caused by too fast expansion. When expanding to other places, including Southeast Asia, because there are many farmers without land in the country, so as long as some preferential policies are given, a large number of farmers will soon be willing to travel long distances. Trek, leaving home to reclaim wasteland there.

Of course, there is no reason why Southeast Asia is relatively close to the mainland.

But now, it cannot be said that everyone is a landlord, but as long as they are willing to work, and they are not really lazy, there will be no landless peasants in their hands.

In this way, where to attract people to open up wasteland in Europe so far away, let alone the three-year tax exemption, no one is willing to go to the ten-year tax exemption.

No one immigrated there, which means that there are basically aboriginals there, and basically all white people.

What is the difference between sending an official to such a place and letting the official die?
"Your Majesty, the barbarians are difficult to govern, why not let them govern themselves!" Zeng Bu was getting older, but he still firmly occupied the position of the right prime minister.

It's not that he has any irreplaceable talents, but it's mainly because he didn't do anything himself, and he didn't fight against Ji Yue very much. He is quite discerning, and he can give some really useful suggestions from time to time, so he can stay until now.

"What about the others? Don't you have anything to say?"

To be honest, Ji Yue doesn't like self-government very much, because it has a lot of autonomy, and because the two sides are of different races, the probability of accidents in the future will be far higher than in other regions.

As long as they can't completely assimilate them with culture, there will definitely be things like uprising and independence in the future.

"Your Majesty, among the slaves captured by the previous generals, a group of slaves have performed well and can be officially issued residence registration certificates.

If you don't send them to Europe to be farmers, maybe it will be useful after a long time! Hu Huaye, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, suddenly thought that he was worried about what to do with the slaves before, and said quickly.

This is a rule previously formulated by Ji Yue. Sergeants who are defeated and captured serve 5 to 10 years in prison, and they can regain their freedom after receiving education.This is also to allow them to have a goal, so as not to resist strongly in despair.

As for the limit of 5 to 10 years, of course it is 5 years of good performance and 10 years of poor performance.

No, the batch that performed well has been around for five years, but the Ministry of War has never done this before, and I am worried about what to do?

Ji Yue didn't think of it for a while. There are so many things in normal times, how can he often think of those prisoners?

But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed a good idea.If they help, let those freed slaves become farmers on the European side.So it is equivalent to controlling the whole of Europe as long as they control those farmers.

Those slaves who regained their freedom had all undergone five years of brainwashing education. Even if the brainwashing was not 100% successful, it should have some effect no matter what.

 Sense of existence in anger! (_)
