Zhao Long's battle report frightened many people, including Wang Rui, and there were almost zero casualties in each battle, and the crushing massacre gave them a full understanding of this absolute force of the Tang Dynasty.

The most fatal thing is Li Shimin's attitude when Zhao Long cleared and suppressed Wang Hao's remnants, since he was happy to see Wang Hao's remnants of the forces eliminated, it also means that he gave up the strategic plan that Wang Hao suggested to him before, and adopted the conservative development suggested by Sun Xiangfu, and slowly integrated and promoted the strategy of expansion in a non-war way.

At a time when the emperor has absolute force in his hands and can ignore the economic capital of the people, they always feel a cold chill on their necks and may be beheaded at any time.

However, they didn't know that Li Shimin wanted to use everything he could, so when Feng Ang launched a general attack on those miscellaneous coalition forces, Li Shimin's holy decree arrived.

"Zhao'an?"

After Feng Ang received the holy decree, he looked at the general in the army who suddenly appeared and really held the official seal of Li Shimin.

He was not surprised that there were people in his army who had secret guards, but that he was surprised why Li Shimin would make such a disposition.

"Yes, Yue Gong, how can I say that this is also fifty or sixty thousand young people, even if there are some extremists among them, pick them out and behead them, and the rest of the people, according to Your Majesty's will, will be transformed into people on the spot and build cities and fields."

"These people have all killed people and seen blood, even if they are on the spot, I am afraid they will not live in peace."

For less killing, Feng Ang naturally agrees, for him, as long as he has a certain ability to sail on the sea, with a little training, he is a good hand.

But it would be inappropriate to place them on the far coast of India, because they have lived for at least a year or two in a life dominated by looting and massacres, and they can no longer be treated as civilians.

"Therefore, Your Majesty will keep me here to manage these people, and you may give me some ships and a few thousand naval soldiers."

The soldiers of Lingnan, although they are under the command of Feng An, are also soldiers of the imperial court, if Feng Ang does not say a word in this matter, it will be of a serious nature.

However, the original purpose of his coming here was just to rescue the Vaanaby Kingdom and keep the trade from Lingnan to India uninterrupted, as for the army, he had no intention of rebelling, Li Shimin used it as he liked, and he had no resistance.

"Well, if you can convince those men to surrender, I'll leave you thirty ships and five thousand men and horses."

"In this way, Yue Gong will wait for the good news of the lower officials!"

Seeing the confident smile of the secret guard general hidden in his army, Feng Ang knew that Zhao'an's matter would be successful.

Now, what he can do is to quickly inform Sun Xiangfu of the situation here, but this is a distant Indian coast, no matter how fast it is, when the news is delivered to Sun Xiangfu in Shannan Province, I am afraid that it will be a month or two later.

That night, the secret guards reported to Li Shimin that all the people on the side of No. 1 were vying to say goodbye to Sun Zhengming, but Li Shimin just laughed at it, he should eat, sleep, and live overnight.

However, at this time, news came from Chang'an.

I don't know who it is, the whole country knows the situation in Jiuyuan County, and it has instigated the envy and jealousy of the people, and now, many people in poor areas are the same as the people of Shannan Province at the beginning, and they feel that it is unfair for the imperial court to be so good to the people of several counties in Shannan Province, of course, if it is under normal circumstances, they will not have this kind of cognition, and they have any complaints about the imperial court, after all, starting from the new countryside, everyone knows that the policy of the imperial court is gradually advancing to the whole country.

But I can't stand the deliberate incitement of people with intentions! Ordinary people, who do not want to enjoy free medical care, free education, free pension and other benefits like the people of Jiuyuan County, especially those who are old, have lost their labor force, have been suffering from diseases all year round, and have no money for treatment at home.

Therefore, there have been a wide range of people in need of help and assistance across the country to petition the government yamen, and then, many ordinary people have also begun to join this ranks.

Even in later generations, there are many poor counties, and the whole county is unwilling to take off the hat of 'poverty', because they have taken off their hats, they cannot continue to receive various poverty subsidies from the state, let alone now.

Moreover, at present, the officials of the Yamen are actually mainly from the family line, so they have naturally been instructed by the family a long time ago, and in a very rude way, they rejected the people's petitions, and deliberately stimulated the emotions of the people who petitioned.

This incident broke out in Shannan Province at the beginning, but the local county order was pestered by some people for a while, and after the eldest grandson Wuji came forward and promised that the policy would be gradually implemented in all states and counties, the people settled down.

But this is only in the Shannan Province area, in those places where the people are already strong, with those local officials deliberately using brutal methods to drive away the people and create conflicts between the government and the people, a huge backlash was immediately formed, and even bloodshed was caused, some people died, and emergency reports from all over the country were sent to Chang'an like snowflakes, and the secret guards also continued to transmit all kinds of news to Li Shimin.

"Okay, why is there a sudden chaos in the world?"

Li Shimin crossed his hands on his waist and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, who had rushed to Jiuyuan County, Fang Xuanling, Qu Tuquan and others said depressedly.

"Don't suffer from poverty, suffer from inequality, and some people deliberately took things out of context, instigated the people, and stimulated the people with a bad attitude, which led to the current situation. Fang Xuanling said a little depressed.

The bloody conflict between the government and the people, no matter what the reason, is that the work of the imperial court is not in place, which fully proves that the government is not yet an object that the people can trust and rely on, and the overall popular foundation of the Tang Dynasty is still very weak, and it has not reached the level that everyone is patriotic and willing to understand the policies of the imperial court.

If, all over the country are like Jiuyuan, Jinan, Zhongxiang and other counties, and even, as long as they reach the level of Guanzhong prefectures and counties, this kind of thing will not break out, because the people in these areas produce a lot of output, and they can live very well without relying on the help of others.

"Is there a problem with the prince's handling of this?"

The reports from various localities were sent to Chang'an first, so Li Chengqian, who was in charge of the state, had already made a preliminary decision to deal with the matter a few days before Li Shimin, and his plan was to dismiss all local officials who had bloody conflicts and send them to prison, and all the chief officials of prefectures and counties where quarrels and conflicts with the people were relatively large were suspended pending investigation.

The Ministry of Rites also asked the Ministry of Rites to write an article, and the newspapers were distributed nationwide, and the officials of the Ministry of Justice were responsible for reading them to the people, explaining that these welfare projects were promoted by Jiuyuan County in cooperation with the local chamber of commerce, and were all funded by the local chamber of commerce.

In addition, the government has been making every effort to promote the construction of people's livelihood throughout the country, and the new countryside will be promoted to all prefectures and counties in the country within three to five years.

At the same time, he also urgently ordered all the art troupes under the Tale Division to go down to the counties in remote areas, and even the villages, to carry out condolence performances one by one, publicize the policies of the imperial court, do a good job in the ideological work of the people, and tell them that they can produce with peace of mind, and everyone will have such benefits in the future.

After all, if you want all the patients in the country to take medicine, you must first produce enough medicinal materials for all patients in the country, and if you want all the children in the country to read, you must first have so many books and so many teachers in the country that can be used.

Before the national strength has not really reached this level, no one can immediately get on the horse, even Jiuyuan County School, the teacher is also lacking, with the current lack of talents in Datang, there are not many scholars who are willing to be teachers, even if the teacher can obtain the status of a first-class citizen, because, with this level of people, with a little effort, they can be a higher income, more decent social status officials, willing to do dedication to others, unreservedly teach their own knowledge, Just a handful.

"Your Majesty, in general, the prince's handling is quite appropriate, but hundreds of officials have been imprisoned and more than 1,000 officials have been suspended, and the backlash may be great, and you must come forward to stabilize the situation." Fang Xuanling spoke again.

"How to stabilize the situation?"

Fang Xuanling was silent for a long time before he replied, "The minister thinks that he can take this opportunity to promote a large-scale system reform, kick out all those who are above him, and at the same time, promote and appoint some newly emerged talents, imitate Jiuyuan County Governance, and build a new government based on the local people and more refined management." ”

"Do you think so too?" Li Shimin looked at the contemplative eldest grandson Wuji again and asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, however, I'm afraid things will not be so simple, this turmoil, even if it breaks out three years later, it is possible that as the minister said, directly promote the reform of official governance, remove officials on a large scale, and build a new management system to solve the possible chaos in the court. But, now, I'm afraid I can't do it. ”

"Why?"

"Because there are not enough people! You should have watched the list of public servants in Jiuyuan County these days! Although Jiuyuan County is only a county governance, there are nearly 100 officials under its rule, even the town mayor, all of whom are officials who have entered the Zhengjiupin, the chief officer, adjutant, and adjutant of each department, all neat, plus the non-grade errand officer, the patrol, and the community director of the Ministry of People's Livelihood Security, the number of all public servants adds up, as high as five or six hundred, except for the Yuantian area, or Guanzhong Prefecture, if the states and counties in other places establish such a huge management system like them, I am afraid that it will be very difficult, and there will be insufficient manpower. Excessive financial consumption is a problem.

And those people, they chose to launch together at this node in a very organized way this time, and used some ambiguous rhetoric that can get out for themselves afterwards to stimulate the people, they actually expected that the imperial court at this juncture, that is, there is no manpower to promote the comprehensive reform of the rule of officials, and there is no financial resources to promote the comprehensive reform of the people's livelihood policy, and in the end they will definitely choose to compromise with them to maintain stability temporarily, so they are so fearless.

So, what we have to consider is what they want to achieve by deliberately making such a big thing? ”
