Xiao Jie turned his head and said to Chen Shan who was beside him: "General Chen, the will of the people cannot be violated, you can do it."

Chen Shan never expected that Xiao Jie would let him do it himself, but he only hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Yes, Your Highness!"

Ever since he ordered troops to capture the rebels in the city last night, he had no turning back, he knew that if he hesitated or evaded, he would only provoke Xiao Jie's dissatisfaction, he might as well go all the way to the dark.

Chen Shan took the big knife in the hands of the executioner, walked to the front of the stage, took a deep breath, ignored the pleas of these Cochin nobles, and chopped off the heads of these people one by one like cutting melons and vegetables with a blank face...

The people in the audience watched these people being beheaded, and there was no sympathy or pity in their eyes, only excitement and fanaticism, because every cochin noble fell down, which meant that he could get a lot of benefits again.

What's more, every time a head rolled down, many people in the audience clapped their hands and applauded.

At this time, Fan Er who was hiding in the crowd suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Long live Daning! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

The excited Yue people didn't think too much, and raised their arms and shouted: "Long live Daning! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

Everything was within Xiao Jie's expectation, it was difficult to eliminate the contradiction, but it was much easier to transfer the contradiction.

It is true that the ethnic conflicts between Han and Vietnamese were sharp, but the class conflict between landlords and peasants was the biggest contradiction in the feudal era.

Once the class conflicts are detonated by oneself, the ethnic conflicts are insignificant compared with it.

From now on, it is impossible for the powerful and common people of Jiaozhi to rebel against the Central Plains Dynasty together. Both of them will only think about how to rely on the court to protect their own interests.

……

After executing these Jiaozhi nobles, Xiao Jie asked the onlookers to go back to their homes to wait for the good news announced by the government, but he himself did not go back to the dilapidated palace, but went to the original Jiaozhi prefect's mansion.

In any case, everything he did in Jiaozhi had to be reported to Xiao Ji who was far away in Luoyang. Although the imperial envoy had the right to kill first and report later, he believed that no emperor would like his subjects to exercise this right.

"General Chen, you're a smart man. I'll go up to my father right now and show you as the prefect of Jiaozhi, Marquis of Qinghua." Seeing Chen Shan eagerly following behind his buttocks, Xiao Jie naturally understood his intentions, and gave it to him with a smile. He drew a pie.

Chen Shan was so excited that he knelt down to Xiao Jie at once: "The young one thanked Your Highness, and from now on, the young one is willing to go through fire and water for His Highness, even death."

Xiao Jie shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not necessary to go through fire and water and die, I still have one thing for you to do."

Chen Shan couldn't help nodding: "Your Highness, please give me instructions, the little one will definitely do things beautifully for His Highness."

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "I don't think it's the dignitaries of Thang Long City who colluded with Ruan Nan to rebel against the imperial court. I need you to lead troops to the Jiaozhi counties and punish all the dignitaries who participated in the rebellion on the spot. Some people even if they don't Participate in the rebellion, but if you are dissatisfied with the court on weekdays, you don't have to keep it."

Chen Shan gasped, he didn't expect this King Qi to be so ruthless, he wanted to kill the entire old Jiaozhi nobles.

Xiao Jie seemed to see Chen Shan's thoughts, and smiled lightly: "This is not helping me, but helping yourself, you might as well think about how these Cochin dignitaries hate you so much, if you don't kill They, how can you live in peace."

Chen Shan secretly broke out in a cold sweat. He knew what Xiao Jie said was right, so he didn't hesitate any longer, and happily accepted the order: "Your Highness, just rest assured, I know what to do."

"Those people's fields need to be confiscated by the imperial court and distributed to the common people. As for their property, you can look at how to deal with it. As long as it doesn't go too far, just leave some for the imperial court to deal with. Also, don't forget to go to the palace first , there is a beautiful woman waiting for you." Guang Huabing Xiao Jie was afraid that Chen Shan would starve to death, so he decided to give him some visible benefits.

Chen Shan was overjoyed, in this way, after cleaning up the old aristocratic forces in Cochin, he would become the richest person in Cochin.

Thinking of the charming face of that woman in the palace, Chen Shan couldn't help itching in his heart, he immediately bid farewell to Xiao Jie and left in a hurry.

After Chen Shan resigned, Xiao Jie slowly calmed down and took up a pen to write a memorial to his father in Luoyang, telling how he went to Tsinghua by sea and captured the Dragon City at night, and then explained himself All kinds of actions after occupying Shenglong City, of course, he knew that his father didn't like to hear about the short dispute with Xiao Huang, so he just skipped it.

At the end of the memorial, Xiao Jie put forward his own three strategies for leveling Jiaozhi.

One strategy is to take advantage of the Jiaozhi Rebellion to completely eradicate the powerful class in Jiaozhi, distribute all their land to the Yue people and divide the Yue people, so that the entire Jiaozhi can no longer unite against the imperial court.

The second strategy is to set up official schools in every county in Jiaozhi, select a group of scholars from the Central Plains to teach in Jiaozhi, not only to teach the way of Confucius and Mencius, but more importantly, to promote the culture of the Han family, increase the understanding of the Han culture of the Yue people, and reduce the relationship between the Han people and the Yue people. The differences between people gradually assimilate more people.Of course, the imperial court can't treat those talents who are willing to come to Jiaozhi to teach, and can stipulate that they can be awarded Tongju people's background as long as they have stayed in Jiaozhi for three years.

The third strategy is to encourage the people of Cochin to learn the ways of Confucius and Mencius and the culture of the Han family. Each imperial examination can reserve a place for Cochin candidates. If no one of the Cochin candidates is ranked, the best score in the provincial examination can be selected to be awarded the same birth. , In the palace examination, one person can be selected to be awarded the same Jinshi background.

In Xiao Jie’s view, the last item is particularly important, because only when Jiaozhi Yue people have the opportunity to achieve a class transition through the imperial examination, and if Jiaozhi people have the opportunity to enter the imperial court, they will actively learn the ideology and culture of the Han family and recognize the Central Plains Dynasty rule over Cochin.

This is similar to the policy of preferential treatment of ethnic minorities in later generations.

After Xiao Jie finished writing the memorial, he called Ye Qiu directly and ordered him to send someone to send the memorial to Luoyang by sea. Although the land route was faster, Xiao Huang was never a person willing to suffer. It would be troublesome if the memorial was intercepted by him halfway. .

In the following days, Xiao Jie began to implement household registration in Jiaozhi, and recorded the people of Jiaozhi in the household registration one by one according to their name, age, place of origin, identity, appearance, wealth and other items. Eligibility is allocated to estates.

After Ning Taizu destroyed the Dayue Kingdom, in order to stabilize the situation in Jiaozhi as soon as possible, he retained most of the old nobles in Jiaozhi, and ruled Jiaozhi and the people through these old nobles.

And these old aristocrats wantonly concealed their household registrations for their own power, which not only reduced the court's taxes, but also was not conducive to the court's rule and management.

Now that Xiao Jie is purging the old aristocrats on a large scale in Jiaozhi, it is natural to reorganize the households of the Yue people in Jiaozhi, which can also greatly strengthen the imperial court's control over Jiaozhi.

Xiao Jie believes that if these policies of his can be implemented normally, Jiaozhi will never rebel again.
