385 Decentralization
"Hmph, master, didn't you see the joy of those landlords and gentry changing their faces before and after, when they first participated in the banquet, they were like dead parents, with a painful look, as if we were bandits who tied up meat tickets, I really don't know what to say!" Qin Xue'er, who was lying in Lin Haoda's arms, blushed with excitement, and chattered to Lin Haoda like a bird.
"Hehe, if you really look into it, in fact, I am similar to the bandits who kidnapped tickets, except that I didn't tie one or two meat tickets, but the land that I snatched from the Ming Kingdom." Lin Haoda replied with a nonchalant smile.
Banqueting the local gentry and landlords in Baoqing County, with Lin Haoda's identity as the emperor of the Han Empire, naturally there is no need to show up in person and have a show with them about corporal Lixian.
Lin Haoda's strength doesn't need to do that at all, if he really does that, it will make people perceive that the Han Empire is strong and middle-class, and even the emperor Lao Tzu has to show up in person to win over them, the rich people in the countryside!
Therefore, only Xu Fu, the representative, and Qin Xue'er, Lin Haoda's little secretary, attended the banquet.
As a qualified king, Lin Haoda naturally wanted to understand the attitude of the landlords and gentry at the banquet in detail, and then Qin Xue'er reported to Lin Haoda in detail what she had seen and heard on the bed......
Dictators have the advantage of not being bound by some red tape, and they can do whatever they want, and they are much more comfortable than the emperor.
Kings and emperors are not absolutely dictatorial professions, in addition to those founding kings and famous masters of Zhongxing, how many emperors can really do whatever they want?
Zhu Yuanzhang can give an order to peel the skin of corrupt officials and fill the grass, and no one dares to jump out and make noise, but if it is replaced by the emperor succeeded by Zhu Yuanzhang and his grandson, it will be different!
The monarch who fights the world by himself is fundamentally different from the throne he was born with, the founding king can subdue a country with his own prestige alone, but the king who succeeds to the throne must rely on the assistance of civil officials and military generals to sit firmly in the seat.
This is the reason why the civil power during the Ming Dynasty was so great that the emperor was taboo.
The edict of the founding king is not disobeyed, and the king who succeeds to the throne rules the world with the civil ministers and military generals below to seek common interests.
This is also the reason why the founding kings are often handy and invincible in the future when they kill the heroes.
"Master, those gentry and landlords were all crying poor at first, but after Xu Fu made our policy clear, he immediately changed his personality, and all of them became the loyal and good people of my Han Dynasty, who have money to contribute money and grain, and their attitude is called a passion, as if our Han is destined to return, hehe, if these squires and tyrants know that our so-called Han Dynasty only has dozens of ships and more than 10,000 soldiers, how would they feel."
"More than 10,000 soldiers are just now, the strength of the Han Dynasty will only increase, don't forget, our external propaganda began to come from overseas countries to crusade against the army, I am the royal pilot, who told that Qin Feng to let his navy go out to the ocean as a pirate?
This reason is that the following people are still enough, except for the key figures above the Ming court, most people in this continent are not aware of the overseas situation, and this loophole can be regarded as whitewashing the identity of the Han Dynasty. ”
Lin Haoda said while playing 'Qiuqiu'.
"Isn't there a single one of the squires and landlords in those places who are silent?"
"How can there be any opposition, if it was really a loyal minister of the Ming Kingdom, he would have fled when we occupied Baoqing County, not to mention, the conditions we gave were beneficial to them, as long as they paid a certain amount of money, food and materials every once in a while, we would give them almost all the rights of local autonomy, and be a local emperor in their rural villages, how many of these short-sighted squires did not want to be 'chicken heads'?
What's more, they have also seen the combat effectiveness of our Han army, from the landing to the capture of Baoqing County, it is better to say that it is a war than an armed march to expel the mob.
However, will our policy of decentralization really not cause future troubles in the future? Although we have a lot of money, food, and materials, the land of the Ming Kingdom is very rich, and the cultivation technology is not weak, and in time, they can completely rely on the remaining wealth to form local armed groups to protect themselves and form their own forces, and our decrees will not even reach the countryside. Qin Xue'er said with some concern.
"So what? We came to this world as destroyers, and we didn't want to occupy it for a long time, Qin Feng of the Ming Kingdom incorporated the officials into the imperial court system and extended the ruling tentacles to the countryside to control, which must have touched the interests of these squires and the common people, but the Ming State was powerful, and they didn't even have the qualifications to flutter, and now with the intervention of our big man, it is natural to hold the thighs firmly.
I bet that as soon as our main army is opened, those landlords and squires will be connected to each other according to the region, and in various names they will organize and train only their own townspeople, and then they will build their armed comfort nests.
These local squires of the Ming Kingdom who are willing to take refuge in my Han Dynasty want the right of autonomy, what we want is to overthrow the rule of the Ming Kingdom and kill Qin Feng, and the interests are not conflicting at all, why don't I turn a blind eye?
I really want to take over so much useless land management to worry about, I'm not happy to do it, this time I only brought the military staff team, but there is no administrative team, if I meddle in the management of local administration, I basically don't have to do anything else, I can be tired of reviewing and reading all day long! Lin Haoda picked up Qin Xue'er and changed to a more convenient position to play with the ball, and said in a gentle tone.
"Master, you don't plan to ask for any Ming Kingdom territory in the future? Are all of them in this similar form of decentralization for protection fees? Qin Xue'er asked curiously.
"That's natural, except for large and medium-sized cities with high strategic positions and transportation arteries, I won't stay a single soldier, and when we enter Yuejing, the capital of the Ming Kingdom, even places like Baoqing County will let go, but when it comes to my troops entering the capital of the Ming Kingdom, Qin Feng's rule will almost collapse." Lin Haoda confidently bit the indescribable......
"Ah~~~ Master, I haven't finished reporting yet!" Qin Xue'er shouted softly and coquettishly.
"It's okay, it's not too late for me to report first, you little goblin is really seductive, no matter how many times I hug you, I can't hold it, anyway, I just need to know that those local squires are not really brainless and loyal to Qin Feng, it's enough to swear to do it against me, and I'll talk about other details slowly later."
After speaking, Lin Haoda couldn't wait to press it.
