Zhao Xing and Xu Jie stood side by side on the steps of the lobby, waiting for the arrival of the officials. Xu Jie muttered in a low voice: "Have you played in order to buy Loudi?" 100,000 slaves, 70 million dollars, a total of 7,000 catties of gold, do you have it? Besides, the mistress doesn't know what to do with you, you're dead. ”

Zhao Xing pointed to his face: "After a night, do you see that there are scars on my face?" Then he said proudly: "100,000 slaves is an opportunity for me to increase the population quickly, and my 7,000 catties of gold, I will not waste it in vain, I don't have it, of course, Loudi doesn't want to take it, and-"

At this time, officials from all over the country were ordered to rush over one after another, and when they saw the two people standing on the steps waiting, they came forward to salute and report.

Zhao Xing Xu Jie returned the salute while continuing to talk about the topic just now: "I bought 100,000 slaves in Loudi, first, out of humanity, I rescued my 100,000 Zhou people and let them return to their homeland, for this, I will get the gratitude of these 100,000 people, which will become the most loyal part of my Daijun and me, and become the foundation for me to gain a firm foothold in Daijun." Second, I solved the crisis of Loudi this time, and I earned Lou Nuren's gratitude to me, and if I continue to show kindness to Lou Nuren, they will no longer harass my county. ”

"If you can't raise a Zhongshan wolf, be careful that you will be harmed by it in the future." Xu Jie reminded his lord with the concept of this era.

Zhao Xing smiled coldly: "Wolves are not familiar, but they can be domesticated into dogs with leather whips." While giving food and giving grace, while constantly whipping with a leather whip in cold water, a wolf will eventually become a dog, and it will also become a tame performance prop in the hands of jugglers. ”

Xu Jie was noncommittal.

"Actually, I have a purpose, that is, to keep doing business in Loudi, so that he can subtly understand a truth, some things can be achieved without war. As long as he has this idea, as time goes by, we can use the huge assimilation ability of the Central Plains people to assimilate him, think about the future, maybe we don't need to spend a single soldier, I have to bother the vast land, hundreds of thousands of people, do you say that I have no shadow of 7,000 catties of gold is worth it? Therefore, Zhao Xing said proudly: "Later, there will be a merchant who buys a descendant emperor." But I went first, using commercial means to buy a tribe and a large piece of land. It seems that if it can be done with commerce, there is no need to use force, I call this an economic war, and I like this kind of war. ”

Of course, Xu Jie didn't understand some of Zhao Xing's inexplicable words, but he didn't delay his admiration for this lord and teacher to the ground.

"But if you force your subordinates to buy slaves, even though the money is actually yours, although it means that you give them slave servants for nothing, everyone thinks that the money you give them is theirs, and as a result, you still force them to use their own money to buy things they are not willing to buy, and you will get complaints from everyone, and such things will damage your prestige."

Zhao Xing smiled confidently: "Wrong, I will make them rejoice and be grateful to Dade." ”

"How so?" Xu Jie still didn't believe it.

Zhao Xing looked at the officials at all levels gathered more and more in front of the hall, and whispered proudly: "Change can happen at any time, the means are different, the changes I implement are not necessarily offended by people, but they can also benefit and thank me, you just wait and see." ”

Officials arrived one after another, and this time even the officials of the various counties and counties came, and they wanted to thank the Lord for his reward and grace, and at the same time listen to what the Lord had to say.

Three or four hundred officials, the lobby could not sit down, so they could only stand in the square in front of the lobby and listen to the admonition.

At the same time, it was in the square, and the people of Daiyi, mainly those of everyone, also stood outside in person or sent clever people to eavesdrop, and for a time there was a kind of crowd of people.

Looking at the officials below who were standing according to the department and rank, Zhao Xing was very satisfied with his achievements, from a lonely traverser, to a teacher and brother who became the king, and then had his own territory and subordinate subjects, how brilliant life is, although there are also a little regrets, such as the roar of the Hedong lion, that is the impulse of a teenager, and impulsiveness needs to be punished, but this is just a detail, and the details do not need to be cared about but should and must be ignored. Life, there will always be a little flawed.

Zhou Tong, the official department, took the roll call, and after confirming that everyone had arrived, he officially reported to Zhao Xing, and then asked Zhao Xing to give instructions.

Zhao Xing stepped forward, and Xu Jie stepped back. Make a desk behind, lift the pen and start recording.

"Colleagues, I think yesterday I wanted you to know the news of the slave maids. I must also have a grudge against my decision, after all, forcing people to do things they don't want to do is very annoying, I understand this. ”

Zhou Tong muttered: "I know that I still do this, isn't this my own hatred." ”

Ignoring the old man's muttering, Zhao Xing's words changed: "Our Daijun is vast and sparsely populated, don't talk about those deep mountains and old forests, just say that in these two huge plains, eighty percent of the fertile land has not been developed, it's a pity, it's a pity." Therefore, our next step is to reclaim the land and make our Dai County the granary of our Zhao State. Then Zhao Xingyao thought about future generations, this is the most important food supply base in Beijing, and his heart is full of hope.

As for their master, who had changed from the original intention of the conference to trade slaves, suddenly turned to the development of land, everyone was for a while uncomfortable with this serious digression.

Zhao Xing knocked on the table and continued his topic: "And here for us, a new law will be implemented for the land, because Daijun is mine, so in legal theory, all the mountains and rivers of Daijun are mine." ”

Xu Jie looked through the account book and reminded: "Lord, but there are also eleven small lords here who have been sealed here by various ancestors, are they all forcibly repossessed of their mountains and forests?" ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "People's fiefs are all obtained by their ancestors because of various contributions, and we have no right to deprive them of the land and property obtained by paying for them." Envoy of the Criminal Department, now you will write down a law. ”

The envoy of the criminal department immediately put pen to paper.

"I now stipulate that in my Daijun, all property obtained through legal means is protected by the laws of Daijun, and even I, the lord of Xingjun, cannot be snatched arbitrarily. No one shall trespass on any man's land or home without the consent of his owner. This is called the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the lord cannot enter. At the same time, even if the person is guilty, but only his illegal income is confiscated, and no other lawful income can be touched, and this point must be effectively enforced, and this law is equal to the law of the land. ”

As soon as this law was issued, all the officials and subjects rejoiced, because their property was no longer to be usurped by anyone else, and now what they had earned through their efforts became truly their own property.

So, the people who were listening were also happy, and the little lords who were hiding in the crowd also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this new lord of Daijun is still full of reason. As long as you are reasonable, you are a good lord.
