Qin Ming was very curious, what other tasks would make the emperor so serious and solemn, so he asked:

"What the hell?"

The emperor sighed: "Although the state of Chu won the war, however, the problems will be exposed more, you remember, the Great Confucian of the Southeast, the one who was angry with you at the beginning."

After his death, although the southeast was dissatisfied, it couldn't be good, but the southeast had some special existences. The Tusi family, you should understand that they have always been a headache for all dynasties. ”

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, and thought, really, the iron-beaten toast, the flowing water dynasty, the toast is more headache than those families that have been inherited for hundreds of years.

The Tusi system originated very early, almost since the establishment of the feudal dynasty.

Different from the imperial court's liuguan system, the tusi system means that the local governors are all held by local ethnic minority leaders, and they are hereditary from generation to generation.

The liuguan system is appointed by the imperial court, and has a certain term of office, and takes the official appointment of the imperial court.

The Tusi system is given a certain title by the imperial court, but there is no term of office, but a lifelong system, and the imperial court does not give Tusi a fortune.

Most of the local toasters are self-sufficient, making a living by collecting taxes from ethnic minority areas.

Since the local ethnic minorities are directly managed by the Tusi, it is inevitable that the Tusi abuse their power and enslave the local people.

The family controls resources, but the toast controls the people, the real emperor of the soil.

At this point, the emperors of all dynasties and dynasties also had to admit that they couldn't say anything yet, so they could only compromise with Tusi.

So far, the land of a province in the southeast has always been controlled by the Tusi family.

"Now, are you going to do something to Toast?" Qin Ming asked.

"Originally, I didn't plan to do anything to them. However, they are becoming more and more excessive, and now, not to mention other Tusi in the southeast, the four largest Tusi families have been tyrannical and oppressive to the people of the southeastern states in recent years. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor took a deep breath: "I wanted to do it a long time ago, but the southeast is too far, the terrain is complicated, the army is inconvenient, and it will be easy to suffer, plus the people there are used to being managed by Tusi, maybe they don't have a good impression of the imperial court." ”

Qin Ming nodded: "So I haven't done it all the time, and this time it's because they're too much in the local area?" ”

The emperor nodded: "That's right, there is another reason, a few toasts, not only to strengthen the power of their rule, but also to dilute the imperial court." They indoctrinated the people to believe in the Tusi family, and they increasingly ignored the imperial court.

The last time you were angry with the Great Confucianism in the southeast, it became an excuse for them again, saying that our imperial court did not pay attention to them in the southeast, and their great Confucianism died in the imperial capital, and it was unclear or ......"

Qin Ming frowned: "If it's not my race, its heart will be different!" ”

The emperor said: "Therefore, what I want is unification, and while fighting foreign enemies, I want my Chu State to truly achieve unification, instead of ruling the world with the Tusi in this remote place!" ”

"The minister understands that this wind cannot be fueled, if there is still Tusi as the Tu Emperor in the local territory, then we will not be able to manage a wider land in the future?" Qin Ming said solemnly.

The emperor looked at Qin Ming: "It's good that you understand this truth!" ”

Qin Ming naturally understood this truth, the hidden danger of toast was too big and had to be solved.

Under his influence, the ancient Chinese way of dealing with toast was to change the land and return to the stream. It is to abolish the toast and change it to a liuguan system.

But it wasn't that easy, at that time, it was also because of the infighting of several Tusi families, which almost consumed each other's power, that the court was given a chance.

And Qin Ming has to start with this piece to deal with toast.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming realized that the task behind him was important, but he still nodded:

"After the problem of the Ulan country is settled, I will go to the southeast. I can solve this toast problem. ”

After all, Qin Ming still knows some about the history of China, so he still has some ideas on how to effectively disintegrate the Tusi family.

"Okay, I believe in you, and when you come back, I will help me solve my troubles." The Emperor said.

Qin Ming nodded, then chatted for a while before leaving the Qingxin Palace.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Qin Ming personally sent the little princess back to the palace, and told her on the way that he was going to the west.

The little princess is still wondering, where is the west?

Qin Ming told her that the west was the original Liguo, after all, it was ruled by the Chu State, so it couldn't be called Liguo, right? So, change the name to the west, the westernmost part of the Chu State!

The little princess was a little more relieved, after all, the west was the world of Chu, and she had nothing to worry about.

Qin Ming didn't tell her either, he was actually going to Ulan Country.

After sending the little princess back to the palace, Qin Ming accompanied her for a while before leaving.

Back at the palace, Qin Ming asked people to go to the Sifang Pavilion and find the prince of Ulan.

After the prince of Ulan came, he walked into the hall and bowed to Qin Ming: "I've seen King Xiaoyao." ”

In the past, Qin Ming had a low official position, while the prince of Ulan was a prince anyway.

But at that time, Qin Ming didn't take him seriously.

Now, Qin Ming is the prince and a king, and the father of the prince of Ulan is also a king.

It's just that Qin Ming is the prince of Chu, and the father of the prince of Ulan is the king of Ulan.

But in fact, Qin Ming's status is not much lower than that of the king of Ulan, so the prince of Ulan has to salute.

"Prince of Ulan, this time, I will take you back to Ulan Kingdom." Qin Ming said.

The prince of Ulan was stunned for a moment and said, "Take me back to Ulan?" Don't want it, right? I don't spend much money in Chu State, so you don't need to drive me back, right? ”

Qin Ming was speechless and said, "Last time, didn't you ask me to help you?" ”

The prince of Ulan frowned and said, "What do you mean...... Are you willing to help me seize power? ”

"That's right, your conditions at the beginning, now, I have agreed." Qin Ming said.

At the beginning, the prince of Ulan said that his father was seriously ill, and his uncle was in power in the Ulan Kingdom.

His uncle Wang was very ambitious, and he wanted to be the king after taking power, so he sent the prince to the state of Chu, and together with the princes of other countries at that time, he came to the state of Chu to propose relatives and do things.

His uncle's purpose was obvious, to spend the prince of Ulan and make it difficult for him.

If he fails to complete the task of disrupting the Chu State, he will be said to be useless and suppressed when he goes back, so he has never dared to go back and dare not face the reality.

At the beginning, he asked Qin Ming to help him seize power, on the condition that he would be friendly with the Chu State for generations.

But Qin Ming at that time was not interested at all, so he didn't agree.

Now, the Ulan Kingdom is becoming more and more rampant, and the emperor asked Qin Ming to solve it, so he looked for the prince of Ulan.

"Thank you, for most of the past half a year, I have been hiding in Chu and dare not go back, and now I ......" The prince of Ulan was very excited.

Qin Ming sneered and said, "I still have conditions!" ”

"On what terms?" The prince of Ulan asked.

Qin Ming said: "I will help you seize power and make you the king, you must let the Ulan State be a vassal state of my Chu State, and bow down to my Chu State, with Chu State as the mainstay!" ”

The prince of Ulan frowned: "This ...... The subject country can, and the state of Chu can be recognized as the main ......"

Qin Ming frowned: "I'm not discussing with you again, you don't have a choice!" ”
