A Timely Wife

Anping quickly replied: "I don't have any drafts, I just think that if these people are allowed to do damage, it's absolutely impossible, but if you just deprive these people of what they enjoy now, it's even worse, the common people will indeed envy Nanchu's side. life, but at the same time, ordinary people also have their own concerns. Although they are not in power, in fact, they are much more terrifying than those in power.

And the nobles of these countries in the south, apart from anything else, are capable of fanning the flames. All they need is one sentence. They can do this to us, let alone you. I think this sentence is no more powerful than Southern Chu’s guns are poor, and those who belong to our race must have a different heart. Not only you think so, but we also think so. There are two countries, even countries with blood feuds. It is too easy to provoke the common people up.

No one would believe such a thing as a pie in the sky, offering courtship for nothing is either rape or stealing, if you want the common people in the south to accept Nanchu from the bottom of their hearts and believe in Nanchu, it is useless to lure them, and sometimes the necessary means are not enough What is missing, I don't deny that most of the common people are pure and kind people, but there are always some people who are evil, dark, and shady, but it is just such a small group of people. It is unmatched and at the same time the most troublesome.

What I am worried about is never that the common people are unwilling to accept the rule of Southern Chu, but whether these dignitaries who are about to lose their status will incite people to make trouble. You must know that it is best if this kind of thing can be smoothly transitioned. If not, there will be future troubles. endless. "

Of course Li Ruosong understands the power of the common people. If Nanchu had not had the full support of the common people, it would have been unable to hold on for a long time. The only reason why they can sit here and negotiate conditions with others is the people of Nanchu. , Chengdong told him back then that you must get the common people to support you so that you can secure your position, and you must mobilize the common people to defeat all reactionary forces. He has never worried about the powerful, but if these powerful people lose the support of the common people, the loss outweighs the gain.

Anping looked at it, and immediately realized that he had hit the point, and when he was about to say something, he heard Xiong Ruoshan say: "Actually, there is nothing to fear from the rich and powerful, and there is nothing to fear from the small group of people. Just kill them all." I have never believed that these powerful people have never done anything outrageous, never used their power to bully others, and I have never believed that this small group of people can turn black and white. Rumors are indeed terrible, but reality is always stronger than rumors horrible.

If the people in the south have experienced it themselves and lived in Nanchu, I don’t think they will be willing to go back. Prince Anping, what you said is indeed a problem, and it is also a problem that we need to find a better solution to, but definitely It is not the biggest hindrance to our future plans.

Let me make a statement here, if these dignitaries want to use this incident to make trouble, waiting for them is definitely not a good end. I hope Crown Prince Anping can convey this to them. I have never been the kind of soft-hearted I have never been a benevolent person. I hope you can see clearly the fact that now you are asking us, not us begging you. We only make one request. As for how to do it, you have to consider it. It's not something we want to consider.

There is only one thing we have to do, to make Nanchu stronger and more prosperous, so that the common people can live a better life. This is what the three of us sitting here think about. As for you, Now that you are from Southern Chu, you have taken advantage of it, and you want to cry about it. Crown Prince Anping really has a good plan. "

Anping blushed for a while, but soon recovered, he calmed down, and said: "Since the emperor believes that I can handle the affairs in the south well, then I will..."

Xiong Ruoshan interrupted Anping's words unceremoniously, and said lightly: "Stop, I never said that I believe you can handle the affairs in the south. Don't rush to express your opinion. It is my brother and my brother-in-law with I recommended you, saying that it is rare in the more than ten countries in the south to have a clear-headed person who understands current affairs, but judging from what you said just now, you are not a person who understands current affairs. At this time, you still want to get it from us To grab greater benefits, if you have always had this attitude, I don’t think it’s worth talking about the following things. I think even without you, there will be other people who are willing to cooperate with us. Prince Anping, you are a smart person, you You should know that if you want to get something, you must first give it up, otherwise, how can you say it is willing, it is always the first to give up and then the gain, isn't it?"

Anping cleared his throat, and said: "I'm thinking about it, but I want to ask the emperor, does the emperor have any ideas or arrangements for the south?"

Xiong Ruoshan replied: "There are too many countries in the south, and Southern Chu does not need so many prefectures. Crown Prince Anping has been in Southern Chu for so long and has already roughly understood how our Southern Chu is now divided. There are only three provinces in total. There are more than 20 cities, and I will set up three provinces and ten cities in the south at most."

Anping thought about it in his heart, three provinces, that is, sixteen monarchs only use three at most, and more than 20, that is, countries are likely to be mixed together and then re-divided territories. Nanchu's move is really too ruthless , if you follow the practice of the Southern Chu emperor, the common people will not say anything. After all, they will all be Southern Chu people in the future, and it will be the same wherever they live. It is nothing more than the former emperor is no longer the emperor. Heshi is a very unique mode of administrative division. He has been in contact with it for such a long time. It can be said that no one understands the horror of this mode better than him. If it is operated well, even the three of them All the provinces are governed by the monarchs of the three countries. In the end, it is Nanchu who can control the right to speak, because the regulations of Nanchu are that the governor of a province is rotated every five years, and the same is true for the mayor. After five years Where they will be transferred, no one knows in advance. Because of this, in the past five years, no one dared to do anything too extreme. After all, they don’t know who will be the next person to take over their work. If you report yourself, not to mention that your official career is lost, the future of future generations may also be dragged down by yourself. Southern Chu's management of officials is extremely strict. Of course, the various preferential treatments given are also the best Moreover, dividing the sixteen countries into three provinces, Anping did not think that the Emperor of Southern Chu would allow them to manage their former country, and it was likely that they would supervise each other. You will manage the people in my former country, and I will manage his former country. People from the previous country, who managed the people in your previous country, restrained each other, supervised each other, and no one wanted to take advantage of it. Of course, no one wanted to engage in small tricks.

Anping broke out in a cold sweat. The little emperor of Nanchu seemed to be quite young, but he considered things very long-term and looked at problems very thoroughly. Li Ruosong is a person who really cares about the people, and he probably has a lot to do with his husband. However, the Emperor of Southern Chu was educated by the emperor after all. In the eyes of the emperor, human life was never a big problem, so he was able to say such things as killing them lightly.

After living for more than 40 years, Xiong Ruoshan is one of the few people who makes Anping feel afraid from the bottom of his heart. He suddenly has a premonition that he was completely wrong before. Before that, he always thought that the little emperor of Nanchu was just a puppet who really called the shots. The person in charge should be Li Ruosong. After all, the emperor Xiong Ruoshan is too mediocre. He thinks that Li Ruosong is just coercing the emperor to order the world.

Anping has a very obvious shortcoming. When the development of the tense deviates slightly from his expectation, he can still deal with it calmly and adjust his previous thoughts in time, but once the development of the tense deviates from him again and again In the initial conception, he would have a sense of uneasiness in his heart that things were out of control, and he would even become anxious. This is the case with Anping now. He has no idea how to talk about it. Things have been different from what he expected from the very beginning. Thinking of so many countermeasures now seems to be completely useless, and the clues and information he has are too few, there is no way for him to analyze everything he has heard now.

Seeing this, Chengdong patted Li Ruosong's leg lightly. Li Ruosong smiled knowingly at Chengdong, and said to Xiong Ruoshan: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Anping is indeed a rare talent. I think this person It can be entrusted with important tasks. Each of the sixteen countries in the south has its own ideas and circumstances. If you want to realize the complete integration of the south and Southern Chu, you must have someone who is very familiar with the sixteen countries in the south. Recognize our people in Southern Chu, so that we can make steady progress. His Royal Highness Anping Crown Prince is the most suitable person. The others are not good enough, but their recognition of Southern Chu is not so high, and their prestige in the south is also low. It’s not as good as Crown Prince Anping, Your Majesty, I still feel that Crown Prince Anping is just thinking about it for a while, and has no other intentions, I implore the emperor to give Crown Prince Anping a chance, a chance to prove himself.”

Hearing this, Anping immediately looked at Li Ruosong gratefully, and said, "Yes, General Li is right, Your Majesty, I dare not say that I understand the situation in the south [-]%, but among the existing envoys, I can compare you I know more, absolutely nothing, and I admire Nanchu very much, I really want to be a part of Nanchu, do what I can for the development of Nanchu, I beg the emperor to give me the next chance, I will definitely do my best All right."
