Wang Ben was slightly silent, and the fishing rod in his hand floated.

"Bongchang should be able to do it, I've heard some news before, and Bongchang is not going to leave anything behind his descendants."

"And the one that Feng Chang hates the most is probably the kind of person who relies on his father and does wrong."

"So, Bongchang's determination to change this tradition must be firm, but ......."

Wang Ben didn't finish his words, so he stopped, and Li Xin also sighed, and both of them knew the meaning.

Although Chen Ke wants to change and has the ability to insist on change, the problem is that there are many people hidden in Daqin who don't want such change.

The road ahead is very long.

At this time, there were circles of ripples on the surface of the lake, and a fish was swimming in the lake, and the next moment, Wang Ben lifted the fishing rod in his hand.

A fish hung on a hook, and Wang Ben pointed to the fish and said, "Look, the fish has been hooked."

.........

Beihai Prefecture, Wangdu County, Qingcao County

The leaders in the audience were tired with numbness in their eyes, and they stood on the grassland, looking at the people standing in front of them on the grassland.

It's just another person who oppresses them.

They never had hope in these people.

The person standing on the stage looked at the numbness in the eyes of this group of leaders, and sighed in his heart, in fact, he could understand the mood of these people.

On the grasslands, these may not be called "people".

In the steppes and in some parts of the Western Regions, slavery had not yet been abolished, and their country was still a slave country.

It is different from today's Great Qin.

Daqin now has no "slaves", of course, there are still "slaves" and "subordinates", which are two different things.

Although the khans of the Xiongnu steppe called themselves "khans" and "wolf kings", they were not the so-called "kings", but "slave owners", at most larger slave owners.

These slaves who were vassals of the tribe were probably not as important as a cow in their eyes.

Meng Wendong looked at the insensitive group and knew what he needed to do first.

"This is already the territory of Great Qin, and you are also the countrymen of Great Qin."

Meng Wendong's voice was cold and serious, and the first sentence first defined the nature of this matter.

He did not establish his majesty, let alone declare his *** identity.

The first thing Meng Wendong did was to appreciate, commend, and give the court's rewards to some people.

"Bazar Banner and others are out of the ranks."

The few middle-aged people in the audience who were dressed relatively cleanly, but the temperament of their bodies could be seen to be not rich.

When the group stepped forward, the rest of the group was at a loss.

What is this for?

I only heard Meng Wendong speak: "When you exterminated the Xiongnu tribe, you made some contributions, and took the initiative to welcome the arrival of Great Qin."

"Therefore, Great Qin wants to commend you."

Hearing this, the numb people in the crowd became a little jealous, and they looked at Bazar and the others.

Commend?

Their hearts are all unfazed.

First of all, the process is familiar, and secondly, the prize for recognition is "them", who, as slaves, will be rewarded to the new slave owner.

It's just a change of owner.

Why do they have mood swings?

However, the next words left them a little ignorant and overwhelmed.

I only heard Meng Wendong continue: "Your Majesty has a decree to give you a few people a household registration in Daqin, and give you a thousand coins and ten silver coins, so you have ten acres of pasture in Qingcao County, and five cattle and sheep each."

And Bazar and the others immediately bowed: "People, thank you for your grace."

After Meng Wendong gave the things to these people, Bazar and the others returned

to the middle of the ranks.

This makes those people a little confused, what does that mean?

Some people even snickered in their hearts, could it be that there was such a small reward for helping Daqin?

Meng Wendong looked at the people with different expressions, and just smiled and said, "Everyone, I know what kind of life you lived when the Xiongnu were here."

"But in Great Qin, we don't allow slave owners to exist."

He smiled and said, "Slave owners can burn, kill and loot at will, and even take you away without any responsibility, and you also need to worry about your own lives and your families every day."

"But the leaders of Great Qin, those who have Great Qin's household registration, don't need to worry about this."

"The Qin Law Society will fairly protect everyone who has a Great Qin household registration."

"Any provocation to a person with a household registration in Great Qin will be regarded as a provocation to Great Qin and a provocation to Qin Law."

"And His Majesty the First Emperor will definitely use Qin Law to sanction him."

Meng Wendong said such a sentence lightly, which made these people very impressed later.

Of course, people at this time did not know the true weight of this sentence.

Meng Wendong just continued: "According to the Qin law, all the people of Great Qin will get some land, and since Qingcao County is a grazing county, we will turn the 'land' into 'grassland' and continue to distribute it."

He took out a booklet and said slowly: "Now in Qingcao County, except for the people in Bazar Banner who have a Daqin household registration, most of the rest of the people have a temporary household registration of Daqin."

"Although Daqin's temporary household registration cannot directly allocate grassland to you, it allows you to exchange labor for grassland."

Meng Wendong's eyes were cold: "As for the people of the Three Banners of Ram Tor, Kula Yuku, and Tan Degao, because of their collusion with the Xiongnu, they cannot have any kind of household registration."

He looked at the people below and carefully explained to them the role of Daqin's household registration, what temporary household registration can do, and what people who do not have household registration or temporary household registration need to do.

All the people standing on the grass subconsciously pinched their foreheads after listening to Meng Wendong's introduction.

A person with a household registration can be allocated land, and can even take the selection exam, enter the imperial court, and become a small official?

You can even go to various flags and districts as officials?

People with temporary household registration can get money through labor and can even own their own meadow, but they need to buy it with their own money.

You don't have to be a slave or even have your own property?

Are they dreaming?

Even those who do not have a household registration can guarantee the safety of their lives......

At least they won't be killed, snatched away as slaves, or even tortured to death by people who don't know where they came from....

Their children, their loved ones, their wives, are no longer among the others, and they are no longer in danger of being abused at any time......

At this time, even those who had rebelled against Great Qin before were a little moved in their hearts....

If you can be a good person, no one will want to be a slave.

It's human nature.

Meng Wendong's eyes quickly caught the thoughts of these people, and a slight smile slowly appeared in his heart.

He knew what these people were thinking, but he pretended not to know, and continued to explain in detail the "rights" and "obligations" of those who belonged to the family register, the temporary family register, and those who did not have a family register.

The group of numb slaves knelt down at this time, sincerely, as if they were in front of the immortal heaven.

[In view of the general environment,

This is not Meng Wendong's request, it's just that they feel the excitement and pleasure from the heart, and they can't express their emotions, and they can only use such primitive means to perceive their numb hearts.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sobbing stream.

Meng Wendong looked at it

The people in front of you, these people may only be considered real "people" now.

Before them, they didn't even have livestock worth much.

Meng Wendong's heart, which was originally a little cold, softened for a moment, but in an instant, it became cold and hard again.

Even if these people were now Great Qin people and belonged to Great Qin, he knew how to treat them.

He is also one of the academies of Baijiagong, and he has listened to many lectures before.

Among them, what impressed him the most was Chen Ke's attitude towards these "naturalized" people.

To sum it up, just a few words.

"It can't be too good, it can't be bad, it can't be better than the Qin people and the Central Plains people, and it can't be too much worse than the Central Plains people and the Qin people."

The degree of this needs to be figured out by yourself.

Meng Wendong felt that he should be able to understand Chen Chengxiang's thoughts.

After all, he also felt that even if these people were naturalized, what could they do? If it is because their race is different from the Central Plains and the Qin people, they are very friendly to them, even more than the original Qin people, then what is the previous contribution of the Qin people?

Therefore, in Meng Wendong's opinion, it is absolutely impossible to let these people live better than the Qin people.

Let them always know that there is some gap between them and the Qin people, but they must not feel that this gap is too big.

Meng Wendong's heart continued to harden, but his tone unconsciously eased a little.

Now the attitude of these frontier people towards him is really much better than that of some Qin people, at least these people are still simple now.

...........

This kind of thing happened not only in Beihai Prefecture, but also in Tianshan Prefecture.

These two territories that originally belonged to the Xiongnu were inhabited by some aborigines, who may have been made efforts by the Xiongnu who did not have time to take them away, or some of the original ethnic groups that originally lived here and did not belong to the Xiongnu.

And under the propaganda of those county orders, at this time, the entire frontier knew the benefits of becoming a Qin person and having a household registration in Daqin.

What's more, after hearing the news, some people secretly went to the local county government office and began to consult how to earn "points" and turn their temporary household registration into household registration.

Those who didn't even have a temporary household registration no longer rejected Daqin at this time, and began to take the initiative to seek their own work, wanting to obtain Daqin's household registration.

..........

Zhangtai Palace

Ying Zheng listened to his subordinates constantly reporting news from all over the country, and unconsciously put on a smile in his eyebrows.

For him, it is of course a good thing to be able to subdue these two places without bloodshed, but at the same time, it is his son who has come up with this plan, which makes him feel even happier.

It's the pride of having a child in my family.

He put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Han Tan, what do you think of Fusu?"

Han Tan bent down slightly, he knew that sometimes the emperor didn't really want to ask you when he asked you, but wanted you to praise you.

When he smiled: "Your Majesty, where do slaves and maids know what is and how not, after all, slaves and maids don't know many words."

"However, the slave can see from Your Majesty and Prime Minister Chen's expression that this plan of Fusu Gongzi must be the best and the best."

"If it's a slave and maid, I'm afraid the slave and maid also want to fight for Daqin's household registration."

"What is this like?"

Han Tan had a wry smile on his face: "The slave maid heard Prime Minister Chen Cheng say before that what kind of radish was hanging in front of something."

Ying Zheng sneered, "Hang the carrot in front of the donkey?"

"That's why he, Chen Ke, would say such a vulgar statement."

He touched his chin and said, "However, Chen Ke's statement is quite appropriate."

"I heard from the Black Ice Platform below that some of the forces in the frontier areas that originally resisted Great Qin had already begun to give up resistance and began to discuss naturalization after hearing about some of the benefits of Great Qin

。」

Ying Zheng sighed: "I prefer to open and close, but Fusu probably prefers to make everything his own in a silent place."

Han Tan just lowered his head and listened to the gossip belonging to His Majesty the First Emperor, and he didn't dare to say a word at this time.

After all, this is not the time to speak.

Ying Zheng shook his head slightly, with a calm look on his face: "Okay, what has that kid been doing lately?"

"I haven't seen him for days, and I even miss him a little."

Han Tan glanced at Ying Zheng's expression with the corner of his eyes, and after a few moments in his heart, he said, "It's nothing."

There was a hint of ridicule in his tone: "Slave maid listening to the recent matter of Chen Chengxiang has been busy with the matter of hairstyle new currency, but I don't know how this thing is doing."

New currency?

Ying Zheng was a little curious: "Isn't the matter of the new currency already decided? Why are you still struggling with that?"

"Is there a problem?"

Han Tan shook his head: "This point, the slave maid is not clear."

Although Ying Zheng was curious, he also knew that this was a big deal, since it was a big deal, it was better not to bother for the time being, and wait until Chen Ke got it right.

...........

Department of Manufacturing

Li Si, Fusu, and Chen Ke stood in front of the mold, and Lin Fang and Zuo Ge on the side also looked at the coins in front of them helplessly.

Chen Ke does have some ideas of his own, which are also aimed at currency, but this idea is indeed a bit difficult for Lin Fang, Zuo Ge and a group of craftsmen.

But .....

These craftsmen are actually a little excited about Chen Ke's proposal, otherwise they wouldn't have come together to think about it now.

Lin Fang turned his head to look at Chen Ke while the group of craftsmen were discussing together, and said with a curious face, "Uncle Shi, how did you come up with this?"

"There's never been such a thing since ancient times, has it? Whether it is the original Zhou, or the earlier Shang, or the Xia, or the Six Kingdoms before it, and the Great Qin today."

"How did you come up with this?"
