Is it abnormal to want to marry an empress?

Lu Chengan's answer can be said to be flawless.

"On my desk, there are three memorials, take out one and have a look for me." Emperor Zhengying pointed to the memorials on the table.

"The grassroots don't dare." Lu Chengan refused.

"It's just a matter of discussion, not a decision." Emperor Zhengying did not lose his dignity, and smiled faintly, knowing that he was "pressing" too hard and exerting too much power.

Lu Chengan raised his head and looked at the three memorials on the table.

The memorials that are placed here are a bit messy, it doesn't look like they came to test others on purpose, the bottom one is crushed, the top one is open, and the middle one is sandwiched in the middle.

Lu Chengan suddenly thought of what the eunuch in front of the palace said - let nature take its course.

At this time, he immediately came to his senses. The open question on the top was the question that Emperor Zhengying wanted him to answer, and this question obviously wouldn't make things too difficult for him.

Lu Chengan was about to pick up the open memorial.

The king of Qin got up suddenly and took out the memorabilia that was pressed at the bottom, "Father, I have heard for a long time that this Hangzhou scholar Lu Cheng'an is very knowledgeable and knows everything. The minister has already made a decision on disaster relief. Why don't you listen to Lu Cheng'an?" Cheng'an's policy on things in the Southwest, right?"

The sudden change made King Han's killing intent freeze in his heart.

She had beaten King Qin beforehand to let King Qin take care of himself. Unexpectedly, King Qin stepped up to disrupt the situation and deliberately made it difficult for Lu Chengan.

Emperor Zhengying frowned slightly, and was extremely displeased with King Qin's meddling behavior, but he didn't say anything.

King Qin glanced at King Han.

Since the imperial court wants to use Lu Chengan, it is natural to squeeze Lu Chengan's talent to the maximum extent. It is meaningless to ask such trivial matters as disaster relief, and it is useless to the country.

Answers come and go, and the answers are all consistent.

That being the case, why don't she let King Qin choose a topic for Lu Chengan, and Lu Chengan takes over the memorial, which is the memorial of local officials impeaching the local chieftain for his misdeeds.

Emperor Zhengying put his eyes on Lu Chengan and said: "Since King Qin chose this topic for you, I will use this question to ask you."

"In recent years, many barbarian chieftains in the southwest have rebelled from time to time, and they are far from my appearance. The imperial court is also exhausted from these chieftains, and it is a waste of money and harm to the people."

"Let me ask you."

"This Southwest chieftain rebellion, how to put down the rebellion?"

Emperor Zhengying put this memorandum at the bottom. Naturally, it was his idea. The southwestern chieftain rebellion had this problem long before Emperor Taixi, and there was no good solution for many years. When encountering rebellion, he often just took soldiers Repression.

But after the soldiers suppressed it, after a while, they rebelled again.

Some chieftains are extremely cunning. They rebel and surrender again, surrender and rebel again. Relying on their local power and foundation, the imperial court has nothing to do with them. Knowing that the imperial court can only appease them, they are confident and capricious.

Emperor Zhengying's eyes rested on Lu Chengan, but within a few seconds, a sense of helplessness appeared in his heart. He actually pinned his hopes on a young man who couldn't solve the matter that many ministers in the court could not solve.

Lu Chengan gave a decent answer casually, and Emperor Zhengying planned to let the matter go lightly.

"Your Majesty, the grassroots have an idea." Lu Chengan got up, took the memorandum, and walked into the main hall, "To solve these southwestern chieftains' rebellion, my strategy is very simple, that is - reform the land and return it to the people."

Just when Lu Chengan uttered the four words [reform the soil and return to the stream].

A voice sounded in King Qin's mind.

[Congratulations on unlocking Ceka—returning the soil to the people. 】

A golden ce card seems to be unlocked like this?

King Qin glanced at it.

[Returning the land to the flow: After using this strategy card, the security of the area will be improved, the population near the area will be increased, a certain population will be obtained, the rule and management of the local area will be strengthened, and additional population taxes will be obtained, making the ethnic group Inclusiveness is strengthened to promote handicrafts and commerce in local areas. 】

[Be careful when using this card: After using this card for three years, when the dispatched officials are not capable enough, it is easy to cause local rebellion again; when the dispatched officials are not morally high, it will cause local corruption, and then lead to rebellion . 】

At this time, Emperor Zhengying, after Lu Chengan said these four words.

I fell into deep contemplation.

Reformed?

In the next second, a ray of light seemed to bloom in Emperor Zhengying's eyes.

"What is reforming the native land?" Emperor Zhengying raised his hand and slapped the table violently. Just hearing these four words, he felt that he understood something.

But my heart felt as if I was scratching an itch, and there were still some things I didn't understand, something I couldn't figure out.

"Tell me quickly!"

Ask for a monthly ticket, kowtow to all the gentlemen, dong dong dong.

Chapter 154 What?What is this? (3rd update!)

For Da Sheng Chao.

The chieftains in the southwestern region, this kind of southern barbarians, are very difficult to deal with. If you treat them as ordinary barbarians, you will suffer a big loss. These people are very smart, and they are constantly learning the culture of the Central Plains .

This system of chieftains gave them an independent administrative power. After all, many of these natives refused to accept discipline.

And this is the characteristic of the chieftain system.

First, the chieftain has the hereditary right to rule.

The second is the hereditary chieftain, who has the hereditary ownership of the land in the jurisdiction.

The third is the hereditary right to rule over the native peasants attached to the land.

So, the phenomenon that the emperor is far away from the high mountain appeared. Since you appeased and recruited me, I will obey you on the surface, but I will do it to you from time to time.

The most common thing these hereditary chieftains do is to oppress the natives who rule the land, and then frame them to the court, and then find a chance to rise up again. Chieftain, the chieftain took the money and went to enjoy himself. After a few years, he will come again.

Emperor Zhengying also wanted a once-and-for-all solution, but so far there is no good solution. The proposal given by most people is the most conventional counter-insurgency.

If you rebel, then kill, until you dare not rebel.

However, it is not a cure for the symptoms.

After suppressing the rebellion and then rebelling, back and forth, this cost a lot of money, many soldiers died, and the natives still have to rebel.

Lu Chengan thought for a moment, and slowly shared his views one by one.

In fact, these chieftains are essentially alternative 'vassal kings', who have their own clans on their own territory.

Therefore, facing these chieftains is the same as cutting off feudal clans, there is no difference.

The most important point is to divide these natives internally. As long as there are conflicts among the natives, the imperial court will have sufficient space to cooperate with external forces to implement the policy of reforming the natives.

So the first thing Lu Chengan did was to talk about the technique of 'tweeting'.

Since your chieftain is a hereditary system, it is impossible for a chieftain and a family to have only one heir. A large number of people does not necessarily represent unity, but also represents a lot of selfishness.

Who doesn't want to be the boss?

If the method of Tweeting is used, the power of these hereditary chieftains can be consumed internally to a large extent, thereby greatly weakening their vitality.

"Your Majesty, chieftains are also human beings. Their sons can be united, but can their grandsons be united? Generation after generation, the bond in the blood will also fade." After Lu Chengan finished talking about the method of pushing grace, he said again : "This is an open conspiracy, and these chieftains have to suffer from this dull loss."

Emperor Zhengying couldn't help nodding his head when he heard Lu Chengan's method of extending grace, but after a moment of silence, he said: "Returning the land to the brigade, I hear it now, is indeed a good strategy for governing the country, but these chieftains Among them, there are many cunning people."

"They know how powerful this method of 'tweeting grace' is, and they will definitely trigger a bigger rebellion in advance to resist the imperial court's policy." Emperor Zhengying frowned slightly.

"But, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why these natives would give their lives to these chieftains?" Lu Chengan said calmly, "The natives and the chieftains are not one."

Emperor Zhengying listened attentively.

"At the end of the day, the chieftain is the chief culprit for exploiting the natives, but the imperial court's suppression is often one size fits all." Lu Chengan mused.

To Xungui, the natives are military merits of walking.

Poor equipment, poor military force, one-stop counter-insurgency, and easy promotion, so the nobles look down on these natives and look down on these chieftains.

These natives are bothered by surrendering over and over again, and then rebelling again, not how high their combat effectiveness is.

When the imperial court dealt with these natives, it hurt more their own pockets, the mobilization of soldiers, the expenses of fighting, the transportation of food and grass, and the appeasement of the natives after the rebellion, all of which were a lot of money.

However, the nobles and military officials have never figured out that the real enemy of the emperor is the chieftain, not the natives.

They regarded the natives as military achievements, and the natives also regarded the officers and soldiers of the court as enemies, and attached themselves to the chieftains, "protecting the family and defending the soil" in a disguised way, which improved the overall morale.

"As long as the imperial court makes these natives realize that it is these chieftains who are really exploiting them, and then supplemented with the Tuen Decree, and slowly follow the policy of reforming the natives and returning them to natives, the Southwest can be settled." Lu Chengan continued.

"It's just like—the king treats me as a gentleman of the country, and I will repay him as a soldier of the country."

"If Your Majesty treats these natives as his own people, it will only be a matter of time before these chieftains are eliminated." Lu Chengan said again: "The people of the natives are also common people, and they also have needs, and they have needs. , naturally there is a way to satisfy them, when they are satisfied, who would think of rebelling, who would want to lick blood on the tip of a knife."

"The imperial court must first know who our real enemy is ideologically. We must resolutely attack those people, and then win over the people we should win over. In this way, the situation will soon stabilize." Lu Chengan proceeded step by step. Said: "What we actually want to solve is those unreasonable moths, not to kill them all."

Lu Chengan dissected his own thoughts, and when he spoke, he eloquently.

Emperor Zhengying became more and more fascinated as he listened. The brows that were frowned before were slowly loosened and stretched, which is the improvement of Emperor Zhengying's understanding of reforming the land and returning to the people.

With a deeper understanding, Emperor Zhengying gradually had a strong approval of Lu Chengan's views.

At first, Emperor Zhengying didn't expect that Lu Chengan could solve this problem at all. He put this memorial at the bottom, and he knew how difficult this problem was for Emperor Zhengying.

The ministers of the DPRK and China talked a lot, but they couldn't say anything about it. Here, Lu Chengan described his own views, ideas, strategy development, entry point, including those points worth noting. Lu Chengan mentioned it all.

The more Emperor Zhengying listened, the more he felt that Lu Chengan's method of reforming the native land and returning to the local people was a feasible way.

"Reform the land and return to the bloc, good, what a change to return to the native land, I will give you the pen and ink, and write down the policy of reforming the land and return to the bloc." On Emperor Zhengying's face, it was a picture of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him, and his color was different. Changed look.

But the movements of his stretching out his hand and calling the eunuch to give him pen and ink have already exposed all the thoughts of Emperor Zhengying.

Liu Kuan, the eunuch who was listening all the time, was also dumbfounded. He felt that what Lu Chengan said was vague and had some truth, but it was still a little unpredictable.

And Liu Kuan slowly rubbed the ink after listening to Emperor Zhengying's words. This was like the slow motion of an old man, which seemed to really annoy Emperor Zhengying.

"Father, let me sharpen the ink for this 'failed' scholar." Ning Wang bit his words: "This policy of reforming the soil and returning to the brigade really made my minister suddenly realize."

The King of Han woke up like a dream.

That's right, Lu Chengan provided such a good strategy and unlocked a gold-quality strategy card, but she actually forgot to ask Lu Chengan for a reward.

Do not!

It's not that she forgot to ask for a reward from Lu Chengan.

It's that King Ning's actions are too fast.
