Chapter 662: Soaring Forward (4)
Of course, Luo Ming didn't intend to make a big deal out of these nobles.
Although he wants to take advantage of the victory and chase after him and win a lot of benefits in one go, his digestion ability is also limited, and if he eats all these nobles, he will hold on.
And if they really want to annex them, even if their strength is weak, they will resolutely resist in order to encircle the territory, and may even unite to cause a riot, in short, it will be very annoying.
And neither the royal family nor the nobles of other counties will let go of Luo Ming's obvious "rule-breaking" move, and use this as an excuse to interfere in Van Shee County.
If you calculate it this way, it really outweighs the loss.
Therefore, Luo Ming still agrees with a certain great man's sentence: It is best to make a fortune by making a lot of noise.
This time, he held a county-wide celebration banquet, which seemed normal, but it also had huge political implications.
He was the most powerful nobleman in the county and now the regent of the county, and any nobleman in the county had to be respectful to him at his banquet.
Whatever he says, everyone will applaud thunderously, and whatever he calls, everyone will sign up enthusiastically.
Of course, it is difficult to say how many of them really loved him, how many flattered him only for the sake of getting a share of the benefits from him, and how many were completely duplicitous and just didn't want to make him angry.
Of course, Luo Ming himself would not be deceived by this superficial phenomenon, but what would other nobles think when they saw this scene?
I'm afraid that they will immediately form such a concept in their minds: Luo Ming is the ruler of Van Xi County, and it is difficult to disobey every word.
Luo Ming does not have the luxury of achieving a high degree of control over most nobles, which is completely unrealistic, but it is enough to at least do so that most nobles will not cause him trouble, and will cooperate with his work in some small things.
——————————————————————————————————————
Although the trial of those nobles who defected to the enemy has not yet been carried out, Luo Ming has already discussed internally in advance and planned a partition plan.
There is a general consensus on which piece to be given to a certain nobleman, which piece to be given to Luo Ming, which piece to be given to the new nobleman, and which piece is left to the original owner.
Troops, security forces, officials and priests poured out of Meiquan and rushed towards those areas.
"Wipe out the remnants of Belan, arrest the scum who defected to the enemy, crack down on bandits and robbers, and restore order and stability!"
Shouting such righteous and awe-inspiring slogans, they came to the Quartet, and the first thing they did was to investigate the situation, and the second thing they did was to start arresting and killing people.
Of course, people are not caught indiscriminately, and the first thing to be arrested is those who are shouted in the slogan.
Some of the deserters in the war became bandits, and the bandits who already existed took advantage of the chaos to do evil, harming one party, arresting them and then trying and executing them on the spot, of course, it was very popular with the locals.
But it doesn't stop there, after all, these deserters and bandits are not very intimately evenly distributed in each area, and Luo Ming also knows about it, so he gives them a special indicator.
For every 100 people in that area, one man's head was to be killed, three in a village of 300 people, and a dozen in a town of more than 1,000 people.
In a small village with less than 100 people, as long as there are more than 50 people, one must be killed.
If more bandits are caught, they can be escorted to other areas to lend them to kill, if this is not enough, even the ruffians and hooligans who are more angry with the people, and even ordinary thieves are arrested and killed together.
