Chapter 836: Benevolence of Benefit

Xiong Huai nodded, and then continued: "However, it's just that, it's just to calm the hearts of the people." There are also other rumors that are walking around the country, which also need to be dispelled, so that the hearts of the people can be completely settled. For this matter, I don't know what Xianqing suggests. ”

When Tang Yu heard this, he showed a confident look.

Most of the appalling rumors in Yue Di were taken out by himself for a walk, and he had already thought of countermeasures as early as when he was walking.

At this time, hearing the king of Chu's inquiry, Tang Wu immediately responded: "The king, the more the land is disturbed, the direct cause is that the king was assassinated, and the people and nobles are worried about harming themselves.

And the most fundamental reason for the turmoil in the more land is still the new attachment of the more land, and the deeper the doubts in the hearts of the people about our Chu State. The most direct doubt is that the people are worried about whether they will be reduced to slaves, whether they will be relocated to other places for reclamation, whether they will be levied harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and will be enslaved by the Chu State.

As for those aristocratic giants, they are worried about their own status, whether their wealth can be preserved, as well as the future of the family and the future of their children.

As long as these problems can be solved, then the turmoil in the border will be easily solved. ”

Xiong Huai bowed slightly, these problems that Tang Yu said all pointed to the core of the problem, as long as these problems were solved, it would be easier to cross the land and even Jiangdong.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai looked at Tang Yu and asked, "What do you suggest?" ”

Tang Mo pondered for a while, looked at the King of Chu, and saw that the King of Chu had a smile in his eyes, but it was difficult to see what he was thinking through the eyes of the King of Chu. The worries of the people are well resolved. Now more than half of the nobles of the Yue Di have been killed and wounded, and all the land they control has been taken over by the state.

Nowadays, when people cultivate these lands, the most worrying problem is how to pay taxes after harvest. So..."

When Tang Wu said this, seeing that the face of the King of Chu remained unchanged, his speech suddenly became faster: "Therefore, now it is only necessary to distribute the land in the hands of the state to the people who cultivate it before the autumn harvest, recognize that the land belongs to the people, and make a contract to stipulate the taxes that the people need to pay after the autumn harvest."

In this way, when the people saw that the king had given the land and that the tax had been set, they would have made up their minds. Because if the state of Chu wants to reduce them to slaves, it will inevitably not give them land, because slaves have no property. In the same way, if the state wants to move them away, it will also not divide the land in their hometown, their home is in Dongting, the land is in Jiangdong, and if they want to cultivate the land, they have to cross thousands of miles, even if they are mentally ill, they will not do such a foolish act.

In addition, as long as the tax is determined, it can dispel their doubts and not worry that the state will enslave them and impose exorbitant taxes.

In this way, it is enough to dispel the concerns of the Yue people and understand the benevolence of the king. ”

Xiong Huai couldn't help but nodded.

This is the purpose of his special coming to Jiangdong from Yingdu, when he decided to move the Yue nobles, while getting the list of Yue nobles, he also got Tang Wu's suggestion that he planned to take the opportunity to convert all the Yue Wang Tian into private fields, and Tang Wu's suggestions coincided with him.

It is precisely because of this big killing weapon that Xiong Huai unscrupulously hunted and exiled the nobles of Yuedi, but he was not worried that the people of Yuedi would rebel.

Because after this large number of Jiangdong nobles were killed or exiled, the land controlled by this group of people, plus the land that previously belonged directly to the Yue State government, more than two-thirds of the fields in Jiangdong were already in the hands of the Chu State. So much land is enough to distribute to all the people of Jiangdong.

At this time, Xiong Huai smiled, from ancient times to the present, and even in the distant future, although the people's way of life has changed a lot, but the people's minds have never changed.

The so-called taking others has short hands and eating other people's mouths is short, and the people will speak for whoever they rely on to eat, at least on the surface.

Before, they were attached to the nobles of the Yue Kingdom, so they naturally had to speak for the nobles of the Yue Kingdom. Now, if the Yue people want to rely on the Chu State for food, they naturally have to stand on the side of the Chu State and abandon the nobles they relied on before.

Xiong Huai can expect that after the division of the field, all the Yue people will probably be grateful to him, and they will spurn the nobles who were killed and exiled before.

Otherwise, if those nobles are not guilty, what will happen to the land in their hands?

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai sighed: "Open up the wide, divide the fields and settle the people, in order to settle people's hearts and be kind!" ”

Seeing that the King of Chu agreed, Tang Yu instantly had a bottom in his heart, so he continued: "King, as for those nobles, it is actually easier to deal with them. Now there are very few nobles left who still have their hearts set on Yue Kingdom, even if there are a few fish that have slipped through the net, after this killing, he will not dare to show it.

If you want to win over the hearts of the remaining noble giants, the key lies in promoting the virtuous, and the way to promote the virtuous, the minister asked the king to issue an edict, conduct a recommendation and assessment in the entire Jiangdong, and then select the best to serve, among which the particularly outstanding can be appointed as the county governor or even go to Yingdu to serve. ”

"Hmm!" Xiong Huai was stunned and asked, "It's the same as what I did in Yingdu not long ago." ”

Tang Yu shook his head and said: "No, the minister means to expand the scale, all the heads of a place, as well as those who have a knighthood, can nominate sages, and then participate in the assessment." ”

Xiong Huai nodded, the last election was only the head of a place, and it was recommended by these people who were the county Yin and the county guards, and those who had titles and no positions were not qualified to be promoted.

Now to have all those who have knighthoods elect sages is to expand the scale.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai's heart suddenly remembered that those county Yin Fengjun had recommended virtue and talent before, and then looked at Tang Yu and asked: "Xianqing, if the widow gives an edict, the Yue people will be suspicious, and they dare not recommend their own children, but promote others casually, what should I do?" ”

Tang Yu smiled and said, "King, this is still a matter of reputation. As the saying goes, people can't stand without faith, and the country will die without faith, and all the previous measures were all based on the trust of the Yue people in the Chu State. And if you want to establish a letter, the minister asked the king to let each county first recommend morality, benevolence and filial piety, and after finding out that it is correct, he will give a cow to reward his deeds, showing that the king is close to the Yue people, and loves morality, benevolence and filial piety.

After the reward, wait a while for the virtuous person to be evaluated. After the qualified person goes to serve in various parts of Jiangdong, after announcing the division of the land, in this way, everyone in the Yue people will inevitably be submissive. ”

Xiong Huai instantly understood that Tang Yu's series of actions were all a combination of punches linked by rings.

First, let the counties recommend people who are morally benevolent and virtuous, give priority to the people who are morally benevolent and filial to report to Huiji, and then give rewards to the Huiji City immediately, and then let all localities send the rewards to their homes.

In this way, it can not only express his intention of advocating morality, benevolence and filial piety, as well as his intention of being close to the Yue people, but also set a model for the Yue people to set up a model for the king of Chu to do what he says.

What's more, the reward of the king of Chu, whether they are willing or not, cannot be avoided, as long as they accept the reward, the heavy reward of a cow is enough to make the people yearn for it.

Advocating morality and governing the country with virtue is exactly what the people are looking forward to.

Moreover, when the nobles and giants saw that all the people with morality, benevolence and filial piety were rewarded, they would no longer doubt the intentions of the King of Chu, and for the inheritance and prosperity of the family, and even for their own fame, they would inevitably compete for the number of virtuous people.

Once they recommend themselves or the children of the clan to Huijilai, the aristocratic and rich people will be stable, indicating that Chu Yue has begun to merge.

In this way, in the end, when he, the king of Chu, ordered the division of the fields, the entire Jiangdong was completely stabilized.

After waiting for more than ten years, there will be no more Yue and Wu people in Jiangdong, and only the Chu people will remain.
