Chapter 683: The Problem of Rest and Kushan (Part 2)

A month later, Yuan Xi's frame finally turned back to the Shendu and entered the Daming Palace amid the sound of cheers all over the city.

After entering the palace and getting together with the Liu family and the harem concubines for one night, Yuan Xi quickly convened the first central meeting after returning to the Shendu.

"Your Majesty, at present, the attack of Your Highnesses is going very smoothly, and the artillery has been transported by sea, and most of Rome has been brought under my command," Li Ru took the lead in reporting.

Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction, and said: "I have seen it, it is all good, it is expected that after half a year, it will be able to sweep the entire Mediterranean region, so that except for North America and Africa, the universe will be in the hands of my Daxi."

"This is all due to Your Majesty's holy might," Li Ru immediately said in reverence.

"Haha, the so-called governing the world is more difficult than fighting the world, in addition to expanding the territory, I am more concerned about the governance of various places, only if it is truly stable, then it can be regarded as my Daxi's land, Kong Ming, you can talk about it" Yuan Xi said softly.

"Your Majesty, rest in peace, the Kushan and Kushan dynasties have completely implemented military management and controlled the politics, economy, and military of the two countries, but in the step-by-step management, there have also been many problems," Zhuge Liang said solemnly.

"Tell me carefully," Yuan Xi said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty" Zhuge Liang gave a salute and said: "Your Majesty, my lords, although Anxi and Guishan were the four great empires in the past, Liang feels that their national system, humanistic customs, religious beliefs, and the gap between the rich and the poor are too far behind my Daxi, it is simply heaven and earth, and many of my Daxi's thoughts are simply unacceptable to the people of the two countries, and my Daxi's past people also look down on them from the bottom of their hearts, and even say contempt and shame for them."

"It's so serious," Tian Feng said unexpectedly.

"Yes, for example, the school, since His Majesty opened the dynasty, I began the six-year school system, and later changed to a nine-year school, with a fair and fair imperial examination system to select materials, greatly improved the quality and culture of the people of our dynasty, but also improved the self-confidence of the people, and these two countries except for the aristocracy, ordinary people are not qualified to study, once studied, the nobles of the two countries seem to feel that it is a great shame, so the officials are all nobles, and the key is that the people of these two countries also seem to agree with this point of view, for them, They were originally lowly, not qualified to study, not qualified to be officials, after some of our teachers passed, they deeply sighed to what extent the thoughts of the low-level people in these two countries have been imprisoned" Zhuge Liang frowned.

Yuan Xi was silent for a while, then said, "Continue"

"No! In addition to learning, the most serious is religion, there are many religions in these two countries, and these religions are far from the inaction of Taoism, their religion has a chilling binding force, and even directly controls the lives of the people" Zhuge Liang said solemnly.

"Let's talk about it"

"There is such a religious rule in the memory of the ministers, that is, there can be no thatched houses in the house, and they feel that having a thatched house in the house is a blasphemy against the gods and will pollute their purity, so they defecate in the wild one by one" Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly.

"What" Hearing this, the other ministers finally let out a voice of surprise.

"Because of this system, it has led to the emergence of many rape and criminal cases, and the public prosecutor was originally to deal with it impartially, but another helpless thing appeared" Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.

"Isn't it that the status of women is extremely low, similar to that of slaves," Yuan Xi said.

"Your Majesty, there has long been a law in my dynasty that stipulates that as long as women abide by women's virtues, no one is allowed to harm at will, and the queen is personally controlled, but in these two countries, the status of women is low and scary, the public prosecutor's department has just arrested people, and before they started to ask, a large number of villagers have come around, especially the injured women retract their confessions, which makes it very troublesome for the public prosecutor to do, so many crimes have not been punished at all" Zhuge Liang said.

"This is indeed a problem, but the minister feels that it is not an overnight thing to change the customs of a nation and a country," Tian Feng said after listening.

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "Uncle Tian said well, these can be solved slowly, the key is the stability of the ruling power, as long as the ruling power is stable, then the next thing can come step by step."

"Your Majesty, after a long period of understanding, Shang Shutai has drawn up five articles to stabilize the rule of the two countries," Zhuge Liang said.

"Tell me about it," Yuan Xi asked.

"First, re-appoint a group of officials who are resting and retaining the country, first, because they understand the national situation and can manage them better, and second, they can alleviate the friction that will arise in the process of integration."

"Yes, this is crucial, tell these people that if they do a good job, I will meet them in person"

"No!"

"Second: Abolish all the military establishments of the two countries, and let our Daxi send troops to manage them, and the public security in all localities will be responsible for the public procuratorate."

"Haha, Xu Miao, is there a problem, your task is very heavy" Hearing this, Yuan Xi looked at Xu Miao standing behind him.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the public prosecutor will definitely complete the task," Xu Miao said immediately.

"Good"

"Third, both countries must all learn Xi language, and any family that does not understand Xi language will be severely punished," Zhuge Liang said solemnly.

"Xiyu" Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This change is good, Kong Ming has a heart"

"Your Majesty"

"And what?" asked Yuan Xi.

"The fourth faction of people is to win over the religion that is willing to take refuge in Daxi, and write His Majesty's name into the scriptures, so as to confirm His Majesty's supremacy," Zhuge Liang said.

"Okay, I will treat the religion that is willing to submit, if not, then even uproot, I have said, any religion that affects the operation of Daxi must be completely eliminated" Yuan Xi said with a cold face.

"Obey"

"What about the last one?" Yuan Xidao.

"Your Majesty, this last one is marriage, choose a few daughters of Sabbath and Guishan, if you can give birth to a few princes, it will definitely promote the integration of the nation faster" Zhuge Liang smiled.

"Haha, Kong Ming, you have calculated me" Hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this point is very important" Li Ru stood up.

"Yes, since ancient times, marriage has been the most effective way to stabilize the country," Han Yan agreed.

"You guys!" Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "Then so be it!" Implement it immediately"

"No!"

The meeting lasted for two hours before it ended, and after it was over, Yuan Xi left Zhuge Liang alone.

"Kong Ming, you are an honest person in front of me, do you still have something to say today?" asked Yuan Xi.

Zhuge Liang's face was shocked, and he immediately knelt down and said: "The minister is guilty"

"Since the occupation of Anxi and Kushan, more than 2,000 rape cases, more than 3,000 homicide cases have been initiated, including three massacres, killing and injuring 110,000 people, half of which were committed by my Daxi soldiers," Yuan Xi said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are actually impulsive," Zhuge Liang hurriedly pleaded.

"You didn't report it because there are several commanders and military advisors here, right" Yuan Xi said solemnly.

"The minister is ashamed," Zhuge Liang bowed his head and said.

Yuan Xi sighed and said, "I didn't see it before, but in the future, let these bastards pay a little attention to the impact on me, it's too much, and I can't protect them even if I want to."

"Obey" Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief, after all, His Majesty still cares about his soldiers.

After Yuan Xi stood up, he walked in front of Zhuge Liang, helped him up personally, and said softly: "Even if this matter is over, I actually have another thing to tell you."

"Your Majesty's famous words," Zhuge Liang said curiously

"Wenhou Lu Bu" Yuan Xi said lightly.

Zhuge Liang's pupils shrank, looked at Yuan Xi, who was expressionless, and silently lowered his head, waiting for orders.
