Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Those officials who participated in the rebellion must be killed. If these people are not killed, it will not be enough to deter them, but these ordinary soldiers who participated in the rebellion have no independent opinions and just passively accept the leadership.

"In your opinion, how should we deal with these people?"

Ning Fan looked at Fang Zhengming.

"Rebellion has been a serious crime since ancient times. The crime is unpardonable. In my opinion, all these people will be killed to avoid future troubles forever."

Fang Zhengzheng said without hesitation.

There are a total of 20,000 people. According to Fang Zhengming's opinion, all these people should be buried alive.

As a modern civilized person, Ning Fan naturally could not accept Fang Zhengming's statement. After all, there were so many living lives, and these people who participated in the rebellion were only passively accepting orders. It was not that they really wanted to rebel. .

"Human life is not a casualty, nor is it meant to be killed casually. Let's do this. Officers with more than a thousand households will be executed on the spot, and the rest will temporarily accept the transformation of Jin Yiwei."

Ning Fan thought for a while and couldn't think of a good and proper way to deal with these rebellious soldiers. He could only temporarily let the Jinyi Guards take care of them.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 20,000 people here. We have to feed them and drink them every day. This is a huge expense. Do you really want to support these rebels?"

"In my opinion, it is better to send these people to the front line and let them fight to the death with the rebels in the northwest. In that case, they will still be of some value to the country."

Fang Zhengming obviously disagreed with Ning Fan's handling methods. He felt that Ning Fan was too kind.

Ning Fan also felt that his handling methods were a bit inappropriate. After all, these rebel soldiers had to spend a lot of food to feed them every day, and it was indeed not worth the gain.

"Let's do this. Reorganize all these soldiers into the field army and let them choose a deserted land to farm."

Ning Fan suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Killing cannot solve the fundamental problem, and killing a large number of people is very inhumane. Ning Fan suddenly thought of the labor reform system in later generations. It would be better to let the 20,000 rebels undergo ideological transformation and transform them into a field army.

Soldiers are the best to control, and their thoughts are easy to change. After these troops formed their initial scale, Ning Fan had another idea for the next step, that is, if there are officials who break the law again in the future, they will not be killed. Instead, they will be sent directly to the farm of the Tuntian Army for labor reform.

Using limited life to create unlimited value is the best use of these people, rather than cutting off their heads with a knife.

Execution of officers from more than a thousand households is to disrupt the organizational structure of these rebels and make them leaderless, making it easier for them to accept ideological transformation.

"Your Majesty is truly a wise and mighty monarch. Only you can think of these methods."

After hearing Ning Fan's explanation of the labor reform system, Fang Zhengming was so impressed that he had never thought that a person's thoughts could be so thorough.

Those methods that had never been thought of by anyone since ancient times were actually spoken lightly from Ning Fan's mouth.

That afternoon, Ning Fan summoned everyone in the cabinet again.

The reason why Ning Fan summoned everyone in the cabinet was for two things. The first thing was to hear about the preparations for future technology.

The second thing is that Ning Fan plans to write the reform-through-labour system into Dakang's laws, which must be discussed by the cabinet.

After Ning Fan finished explaining the institutional thoughts and the entire system of reform through labor, he discovered that the academicians around the cabinet were completely stunned and completely convinced by Ning Fan's unconstrained ideas.

Ning Fan went on a killing spree these days, the capital was full of people, and hundreds of civil and military officials were killed so that they did not dare to raise their heads.

There are a large number of vacancies in the officialdom of Kyoto, which is why Ning Fan is so anxious to conduct the imperial examination.

The wanton arrest and killing of officials will inevitably produce a large number of dispatched and assault personnel, who are the officials' family servants.

How to deal with these people is a difficult problem, and even everyone in the cabinet feels a headache, but the reform-through-labour system that Ning Fan just mentioned can perfectly solve this problem.

Dafa original area is vast and sparsely populated. In many places, there is a large amount of barren land that has not been cultivated.

These idle lands could have produced a large amount of food every year, but it is precisely because of the lack of population that these barren lands have no harvest.

Now, the reform-through-labor method mentioned by Ning Fan is too subtle. In the future, a large number of rebels can also be added to the field army. In the future, Dakang will have millions of soldiers to farm, so the court will only have 100 soldiers per year. Self-produced food is sufficient for expenses, and there is no need to charge ordinary people for it.

In this way, a virtuous cycle will be formed in the long run. The court will no longer collect taxes from ordinary poor people, and ordinary people can reduce their pressure and free up their energy to create more people.

As the population increases, the economy and agriculture will inevitably further revitalize and prosper. Then Dakang will enter a stage of positive circulation, and Dakang will enter full prosperity and strength in less than 20 to 30 years.

Under this situation, the threat of the Huns to Dakang will no longer exist at all. At that time, as long as Dakang has his troops and horses free, he can completely crush the Huns with just one finger.

Under the leadership of Cheng Wei, the master of the cabinet was completely loyal to Ning Fan. After some discussions, the surrounding cabinet members also had a new understanding of the young emperor.

Ning Fan's thoughts, words and deeds shocked these knowledgeable cabinet scholars, because the truth contained in Ning Fan's casual words was enough for these people to study for half a month.

"The reform in Jiangnan is now at its most critical moment, and the war in the northwest is also going on in full swing. We are planning to go out for a private visit in the near future."

Ning Fan expressed his thoughts in front of Cheng Wei, the chief minister of the cabinet.

This is not a whim of Ning Fan, but something that Ning Fan has planned in his heart for some time. He always stays in Kyoto and in the deep palace compound. Ning Fan feels that there is a gap between himself and the people at the bottom.

What he wants to do most now is to visit the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to see how Zhou Qun is flexing his muscles there and to see how far the reforms have progressed there.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this. The government is currently unstable. If you leave Kyoto, it is very likely that you will leave a gap for those ambitious people."

Cheng Wei, the chief minister of the cabinet, strongly opposed it.

However, Ning Fan didn't take it seriously. He shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "I have almost killed all the Beiguan and aristocratic families in the capital. What's there to worry about? I secretly left the capital. Maybe I gave these remnants A breakthrough for the power.”

"Let them jump. The higher they jump, the more they will be exposed. When I come back, I will catch them all and clean them all up."

Ning Fan already had a deeper plan in mind.
