Wu Ge turned a blind eye to Chen Fang's yelling, and just quietly watched him being beheaded with a knife.

The bloody head opened with anger, showing Chen Fang's resentment and unwillingness.

However, he forgot that the reason why the imperial court set up native officials like them was to stabilize the place, not to let them become kings and overlords.

By themselves, taking advantage of the great convenience brought to them by their power, the Chen family has been domineering for a long time, and has forgotten the majesty of the court.

The reason why they were not punished before was just because the mountains were high and the road was far away, and it was not cost-effective to labor on an expedition, so we just turned a blind eye to it.

This time, many local officials united with various tribes to rebel, and the imperial army has arrived.

Countering the rebellion is of course the primary goal, cutting these native officials is nothing more than mowing grass and beating rabbits.

I don't ask much, just for the place to be peaceful forever.

When Chen Fang's head was tanned and hung high on the bamboo pole, everyone in the village had already gathered together.

More than [-] servants were killed and injured, and the rest squatted together. There were more than [-] direct descendants and family members of the Chen family, and more than [-] collateral descendants of the Chen family.

The rest are maidservants and servants, more than two thousand in number.

The luxury of the Chen family's life can be seen from this.

There were more than [-] people, men, women and children, all of whom were trembling, for fear that the wolves and tigers of the imperial court would kill them.

Wu Ge drove his horse up to the group of servants, and shouted: "You guys resisted the heavenly army with weapons, the crime is unforgivable, you should be killed as an example to others.

However, the Holy One is merciful and can't bear to kill more, so before leaving, I specially asked you to give you a chance to take the blame and make meritorious deeds.

Those who are willing to accompany the bandit suppressors will be pardoned for crimes after the rebellion is put down, and they will be rewarded with the regular army without any discrimination.

Wait...how to choose? "

"General, we are willing to commit crimes and make meritorious service!"

"Join the army and suppress the thieves."

The servants shouted one after another.

Wu Ge nodded in satisfaction, and shouted: "Come on, take it down and reorganize."

Regardless of whether he is sincere or false, there is no need to make waves after the reorganization, and it will be more appropriate when there is a battle.

As for the combat effectiveness of these servants, there is actually no need to worry.

They are naturally no match against the well-armed imperial elite, and they are enough, if not more than enough, to deal with the rebellious mob.

After dealing with the servants, Wu Ge looked at the Chen family.

"According to the plan, all of them will be escorted to Ruxi Village and exiled for resettlement."

Ruxizhai is a military village on the seaside of Qinzhou. It used to be a military village for patrolling the ocean, but the military equipment has been abandoned for a long time, and there are not a single soldier left.

With the establishment of the navy, Ruxizhai was reorganized, supplemented with personnel and warships, and specially investigated and collected the situation in the south for later use.

When Wu Ge and others came to suppress the rebellion on Guangnan West Road, they went to Ruxizhai and landed.

As for the several hundred members of the Chen family, it is of course possible to kill them, but it is too wasteful, and there is a shortage of people in Liuqiu, so of course they all have to be sent away.

Anyway, according to the plan, several 10 people will be sent to Liuqiu, just a thousand people, and they will lose power and be separated, so there will definitely be no waves.

As the Chen family was taken away, the rest of the people felt relieved.

The heinous Chen family is just exiled, and naturally these servants will not be in danger of their lives.

Since you won't die, let it go.

These servants, except for those who are favored by the master and can live well, are no different from slaves. It is normal to be beaten and scolded, and it is normal to not have enough to eat. Fortunately, Hengzhou is not cold in winter, so they avoid freezing.

While the servants were secretly observing, Wu Ge scanned the audience and said, "From now on, you are all free citizens."

As he spoke, a soldier moved over a box.

In the box, there are all deeds of prostitution.

Wu Ge opened a fire folder and threw it directly into the box.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

The servants... No, from now on, they are already registered civilians by the government.

"When you regain your freedom, you also need property. The Chen family has ten thousand hectares of fertile land. You can rent out the tenants according to your ability. You can also apply for interest-free loans to purchase seeds and farm tools. You can purchase the residence in installments with the village..."

"Long live Long live Long live……"

The people cheered again.

The things Wu Ge promised were all from the Chen family. The seeds, agricultural tools, including loans and houses, the court did not put a penny in them except for sending out troops, which was completely generous to others.

However, who made this native official too rich, just for the court to use to buy people's hearts.

After dealing with the affairs of the village, the leaders of the various tribes who were ordered to come here also arrived.

There are many barbarians on Guangnan West Road, whose living habits are quite different from those of the Han people. The headman is roughly equivalent to the patriarch of a family, and they are unique in the tribe.

Seeing Chen Fang's head, the Chen family was suppressed, and these leaders were either happy or worried.

I am happy that the sitting tiger is gone, and I think the days to come will be much easier. The worry is that the imperial court is so powerful, will it send troops to wipe out their tribe?

"Don't worry, the Holy One is sympathetic to your hardships, and specially sent herdsmen to govern the area. As long as you obey the imperial government's decree, it will not be difficult to eat enough."

After a word of reassurance, Wu Ge began to talk about the detailed arrangements.

The first is that all tribes are changed to villages, and all people are included in the household registration, and they are managed in the same way as the Han people.

As for those chiefs, a village head or something will be resettled, but they cannot be hereditary, and if they do not do well, they will be dismissed or even punished.

Those who are willing to go out of the mountains can be resettled on the land of the Chen family. They can buy land with low-interest loans for cultivation, and the government will send people to guide them.

Those who are unwilling to go out of the mountains can collect and plant medicinal materials, cut wood, hunt and breed under the guidance of the government, so as to ensure that the barbarian people included in the management can live without worry.

Of course, the benefits are enjoyed, and the obligations are indispensable.

Corvée and taxation are the same as Han people, without preferential treatment or harsh treatment.

Of course these leaders are unwilling, but with the shining swords and guns in front of them, who would dare to say no?

Moreover, Wu Ge will not leave until the change is completed.
