Chapter 150: Dividing Regions and Calming People's Hearts

After the empire's land area increased by more than ten times, the next urgent task was to divide the administrative regions and effectively manage the newly incorporated territories of the empire to calm the people's minds.

After all, they had just experienced a brutal war, coupled with the four-way army, in order to deter the empires, so that they were frightened, surrendered without a fight, reduced resistance, and carried out massacres of varying degrees, and now the people are panicked and restless.

The difference between the living conditions of the people who have just been incorporated into the territory of the empire and the people of the empire before is a paradise and a hell.

Moreover, because of the war, many grain routes were destroyed, and large grain merchants were raided and slaughtered by the Daoist army, which made it difficult to purchase grain, and many people were already in a state of severe hunger, and they were at risk of starving to death at any time.

There is an urgent need to send a shipment of food to them.

Regardless of whether the war is won or lost, it is these ordinary people who suffer the most.

Although Jing Wudao was cold-blooded and ruthless, it was only for outsiders and enemies.

Now these people are all included in the Wudao Empire, that is, they are counted as their own people, and Jing Wudao will never allow his people to be starved to death.

The fact that some of the emperor's people starved to death was the greatest dereliction of responsibility of the emperor.

People do something, but they don't do something.

Since he has become the emperor of this empire, he must be responsible for his own people and let them be guaranteed to live and work in peace and contentment.

This is his political pursuit, and it is also the responsibility he should bear.

Moreover, now when these people are hungry, they are given food to save their lives.

Not only can it eliminate the fear and resistance of the people brought by its massacre, and its resistance to the rule of the empire, but also make him grateful to Dade and be truly loyal to himself and the empire from the bottom of his heart.

Only by winning the hearts of the people can we better win the world.

Jing Wudao still knows this truth.

Such a good deal, if Jing Wudao doesn't do it, he is simply not worthy of this throne.

Of course, if the grain reserves of the previous Wudao Empire were the size of the territory, it would definitely not be able to relieve the food of tens of millions of people.

But on the way to conquer the empires, I don't know how many royal families and family properties were copied, and the amount of food obtained was so large that hundreds of millions of people could eat it for two or three years.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

The food of the powerful families was moldy, and the common people had to worry about the next meal every day, and sometimes even starved to death.

This is also the reason why Jing Wudao resolutely implements the "Land Reform", everyone divides the land, and those who resist the reform will die.

If you can't even eat, how can you make the people loyal to you?

The first step in winning the hearts and minds of the people is to feed them.

The king gives the people a happy land, and the people repay the king with loyalty!

There will be no love for no reason, and there will be no hate for no reason.

Only if you give, you will get something.

It is obviously unrealistic to just want to get it blindly, but not want to give, and vainly try to ascend to the sky in one step and become a god overnight.

The next step is to divide administrative areas and manage them effectively.

For the administrative level of the entire Yunmeng Plain, Jing Wudao has prepared the administrative level of a state.

All the territories that have been conquered now, with the exception of Gyeonggi (the territory of the former Four Empires), have been merged into the regional administrative level of a single province.

As for naming, Jing Wudao didn't have any good method, so he applied the ancient Chinese place names.

It can also be regarded as a disguised expression of commemoration of hometown.

Chang'an, one of the most famous imperial cities in ancient China, together with this newly built mansion, surrounded the entire land of Gyeonggi.

Therefore, this province was named "Chang'an Mansion".

At the same time, a new city "Chang'an City" will be built as the capital of Chang'an Province.

The four armies, each occupying a territory, are divided into one county, that is, four counties.

After all, the place names of China are limited, and the administrative areas below the prefecture are no longer named after the ancient place names of China, otherwise there will be no choice in the future.

Each of the four counties selected the most important cities in the region as the county capital, and named them after them.

They are: Sky Wolf County, Tiger County, and Black Wind County. Tianyuan County.

As for the division of counties, towns, and villages, there is no need for Jing Wudao to consider, and all of them are handed over to the cabinet to deal with.

After about ten days of reforming the camp, those captives of the royal families and families of various empires, under the super eloquence of Ma Yun, have been completely brainwashed and swore allegiance to Jing Wudao and the empire.

These people have a high level of martial arts cultivation and good quality, and with a little training, they are enough to be qualified as administrative ministers in various places.

After everything was ready, the ministers of the executive who had been appointed by the Cabinet began to rush to their places of appointment and began their essential work in accordance with the instructions of the Cabinet and various departments.

The lord of Chang'an Mansion, the first-level civilization of the Whirlwind Empire, the emperor of the Whirlwind Empire, surrendered to the Wudao Empire, although he was only more than forty years old, he had the cultivation of a one-star martial king.

The talent is quite good, even if it is placed in the three or fourth-level civilization empires, there are few people who can compare.

If there was no Daoless Empire, this Whirlwind Empire would likely be promoted to a second-level civilization empire under his leadership.

He is cautious and alert, and knows how to judge the situation, so he will not hesitate to take refuge in the Wudao Empire.

The city guards of the capital, the public security bureau of the prefecture, and the four county guards, and the ministers of the county city guard and the county public security bureau are all among the four first-level civilized imperial emperors who have defected to the Wudao Empire.

The rest of the ministers at the county, city and town levels were appointed by the cabinet itself, and Jing Wudao no longer bothered.

Along with these ministers, there was also a heavy wagon of grain.

————

Tanglin Village, a backward and poor small mountain village.

Because of the war, the price of food has risen sharply, and the villagers here cannot afford to buy it at all, so they can only throw tree roots to eat, and they are already hungry and have no strength to walk. Lie on the ground and wait to die.

Even some people's bodies have begun to stink, annoying flies that keep flying on their bodies,

Just when they were about to starve to death, suddenly several carriages carrying grain, waving the imperial flag of the Wudao Empire (ancestral dragon pattern flag), came to Tanglin Village.

"The villagers of Tanglin Village, we are the little history of the Civil Department of the Wudao Empire. On the orders of His Majesty, I have brought you food. ”

A man dressed in the uniform of a small imperial historian shouted at all parts of Tanglin Village.

"How is this possible?"

In the thinking of the villagers of Tanglin Village, it is impossible for the royal family to care about the life or death of these people who are far away from the imperial capital.

"Fuck it, we're all going to starve to death, as long as we have something to eat, tell me to do whatever I want. ”

Immediately, under the urging of severe hunger, more than 500 villagers in Tanglin Village took out the last bit of strength and flocked to the grain team.

"Real food!"

Looking at the truckloads of grain loaded with burlap bags, the eyes of all the villagers lit up.

Then he rushed forward regardless of everything.

"Everybody line up. Divide them one by one, rest assured, everyone will have it, don't earn it. ”

Xiao Shi of the Ministry of Civil Affairs persuaded the villagers who were crazy about grabbing grain one by one.

"Your Majesty is really benevolent, send food. ”

An octogenarian old man, trembling with his hands that were thin and only bones left, touched the golden grain, moved to tears, and said excitedly.

In this chaotic continent, every empire, except for its own people in Gyeonggi, has never cared about the life or death of the people on other grounds.

They just need to collect their taxes on time.

Now that they meet an empire that cares whether they live or die, the gratitude in their hearts can be imagined.

The same thing began to happen everywhere in the newly incorporated empire.

At this time, people's hearts gradually stabilized, and everyone was elated, and they were grateful to Emperor Jing Wudao.

The wounds of the war are slowly disappearing.

Without any concern, he willingly joined a new empire, the Empire of Daolessness.

Every ordinary person is very cooperative with the implementation of the system established by the empire.

The minds of ordinary people are so simple, they just want a full meal.

Whoever feeds them, they will gladly obey his commands and be loyal to him.
