Zhu Xi would actually lower his profile and ask Han Du for advice?
Muying felt that Han Du was more complicated than he thought, so he decided to continue taking a closer look.
Han Du looked at Zhu Xi: "Li's behavior in Annan was rebellious, harsh and unpopular. This is why we were able to capture the entire Annan so quickly. But after all, we are outsiders in the eyes of Annan people, and we have no righteousness. name, so if you want to completely conquer Annan, I’m afraid it will take a lot of effort.”
Zhu Ming nodded calmly and said: "I know this too, but it doesn't matter. I am patient. But how can we completely conquer the Annan people? Han Du, what do you think? I want to hear your opinion first."
Han Du was not polite and said directly without hesitation: "First of all, the Li clan must die. The Annan people have deep resentment against them. As long as we kill them, we can temporarily win over Annan's people."
Neither Zhu Ming nor Mu Ying expressed anything about this. It's just killing people. Not to mention that the Li family deserves their punishment. Even if they are not guilty, as long as killing them can win over people's hearts, Zhu Xi and Mu Ying will not have the slightest suspicion when killing them. It's not his own person anyway, so he won't feel bad if he kills him.
But Fang Xiaoru didn't agree very much. He frowned and asked, "Are you going to kill the entire clan?"
Han Du turned his head to look at Fang Xiaoru, somewhat guessing what he was thinking, but he still nodded and said solemnly: "Kill them all, and it is best to expose their crimes and then kill them in public. .”
"Do you know how many people will die from your words?" Fang Xiaoru's tone seemed to be filled with sparks.
Fang Xiaoru's words made Zhu Ping and Mu Ying frown. They couldn't help but look at Fang Xiaoru. Is this guy too scholarly? Are there any immortals in this world? Now only the Annamites are dead, which is considered very good.
Han Du saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward and didn't know why Fang Xiaoru suddenly broke out. After calming down his thoughts, Han Du looked at Fang Xiaoru, who was full of anger, and explained: "You have to know that when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. The Li family's harsh rule in Annan harmed the people, if they simply let it go How can they, and the people who were harmed by them in the past, redress their grievances? Moreover, if the Li family is not eliminated, it will cause endless troubles for the Ming Dynasty."
Fang Xiaoru was speechless. He didn't know how to answer Han Du. Just as Han Du said, if the Li family is innocent, are other people innocent? Since the Li clan has enjoyed the glory brought to them by the Li clan, no one should blame anyone when disaster strikes.
Seeing that Fang Xiaoru didn't say a word, Zhu Ping made a decision directly, "That's it. All Li's crimes will be investigated within three days. After three days, the people will be informed and executed on the spot."
This time, Fang Xiaoru said nothing more.
After Zhu Ping finished speaking, he turned to ask Han Du, "What should the Chen family do? Chen Tianping has not been heard from yet, and he doesn't know where he went to hide."
Han Du sighed silently, crossed his hands together awkwardly, coughed twice, and glanced at Fang Xiaoru. Then his expression quickly returned to normal and he said: "Spread the news that the Li family has slaughtered all the Chen family. This will not only add another crime to the Li family, but also make the Chen family disappear."
Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment and looked at Han Du in confusion: "Disappeared? How could a large group of living people disappear? Besides, Chen Tianping is probably still alive. If he stands up, what should we do?"
Han Du said to Fang Xiaoru in a soft tone: "Since the Chen family has been killed by the Li family, of course the people who appear now cannot be real. There are always a lot of daring people in this world. It is not impossible for some people to come out and pretend to be the Chen family."
"Your Majesty, I think we should kill such young people every time we see them. Otherwise, if someone dares to pretend to be a member of the Chen clan today, someone will dare to pretend to be Chen Tianping tomorrow."
Zhu Xi stroked his beard and nodded with a smile on his face: "Yes, of course we cannot let people with such ulterior motives live in the world. It is better to kill them all."
Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the smiles on the faces of the three people, he immediately reacted. Compared to the Li family, the Chen family deserved to die even more. If they don't die, their status as the Annan royal family will always be an obstacle to the Ming Dynasty. As long as anyone from the Chen family is alive, Zhu Ping will have no hope of peace in Annan. Rather than leaving endless troubles in the future, it would be better to take advantage of the current unstable situation to directly kill the Chen family and put everything back on the Li family. When the Li clan is eradicated, the Chen clan will naturally disappear.
Even if someone comes forward and claims to be a member of the Chen family in the future, just like Han Du said, just label them as fake. As long as Zhu Ping is resolute and kills all such pretenders, after a few times, even the real Chen clan members may no longer dare to admit their identity.
As a result, the former lineage of King Annan naturally disappeared.
"Will this make it impossible to control people's hearts?" Mu Ying asked Zhu Xi worriedly. His worries are not unreasonable. If the Li family were to mistreat the people in Annan and lose their hearts, the Chen family has been the king in Annan for more than a hundred years and would have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Han Du nodded with a smile, agreeing with Mu Ying's statement, "It will definitely be a little difficult at the beginning. But the Chen family has only been in Annan for many years. In fact, it can be seen from the lives of the people in Annan that they have no regard for Annan.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The governance is not good at all, or even very poor. As long as the prince can allow the people to recuperate and recuperate, he will naturally win over the people in a few years. "
After hearing this, Mu Ying had no choice but to put this issue aside for the time being. The situation was just as Han Du said, judging from what Mu Ying herself learned. The Chen family did not manage Annan very well at all. They cared more about their own enjoyment. Otherwise, the Li family and his son would not have slowly eroded away all their power.
Is it possible for a person who cannot even hold on to his own power to expect them to be good to the people?
"I was just about to ask you, how can we appease the people?" Zhu Ping was a little undecided about how to appease the people, but when Han Du mentioned it, he asked.
Han Du thought for a moment, and said calmly and naturally: "The most direct and effective way to appease the people and win their hearts is to be tax exempt. Since we are still outsiders to the Annan people, I suggest that the tax exemption years be extended. Some."
"How long?" Zhu Xiang asked after smashing the bar.
"Five years." Han Du responded with no faults in his attitude, and then looked at Zhu Xi calmly to see how he would choose.
Although the people of Annan are ignorant, they are not stupid. Regardless of whether it is the Chen family or the Ming Dynasty people, for the people, whoever can give them real money and silver benefits will be supported, and the Chen family's status in the hearts of the people is not necessarily that good.
If Zhu Ping can really give the people of Annan tax exemption for five years, even if he cannot win over all the people of Annan, he can at least be recognized by the majority of people, then Ming Dynasty can really take Annan into his pocket.
"Five years..." Zhu Xi pondered for a moment, raised his head to meet Han Du's eyes, and asked: "Five years of tax exemption can indeed win the hearts of the people, but isn't it too long? If it is five years of tax exemption, then what? I have had no income for five years. Let alone building a palace, it would be nice if I didn’t die of poverty."
After the tax exemption, there is no income, and whether it is the Qin Prince's Mansion or the Qin Prince's Six Guards, they all need to spend money to support them. Moreover, Annan was in ruins and waiting for prosperity. If Zhu Ping wanted to govern Annan well, he also needed to recruit officials and set up a court. Each of these required a lot of wealth to support it.
Zhu Ping can rely on his own family resources to support him for a period of time, but it will definitely not last long, let alone five years.
Fortunately, when Han Du was talking, he had already figured out a way for Zhu Fang, saying: "The common people only have a little money... The real rich people in Annan are not the common people, but the gentry and bureaucrats. They wantonly enclosed land and monopolized business, completely disregarding the life and death of the people of Annan, and everyone was fat and oily.
Aren’t we going to wipe out the remnants of the Li family now? This is the perfect opportunity to eradicate these people one by one. Money, isn’t it coming? "
The best way to get rich is to raid homes. These Annan gentry and nobles lord it over the people, and they are all very fat. By copying them, not only will they not cause dissatisfaction among the people, but they can even use their money to support the people, getting the best of both worlds.
"This, how is this possible?" Fang Xiaoru suddenly spoke up, completely disagreeing with Han Du's statement, "The prince will govern Annan in the future. If all the officials and gentlemen are killed, who will govern Annan for the prince?"
Seeing how naive Fang Xiaoru was, Han Du couldn't help but snorted, "Brother Fang, if you want to rely on those gentry to help the prince manage Annan, I'm afraid it won't work. These people are more hostile to us than ordinary people."
"But these are all scholars. How can Annan be governed without scholars?" Fang Xiaoru immediately retorted.
Han Du shook his head and said: "It is true that governing Anmin depends on scholars, but brother Fang, don't forget that these scholars are from Annan. What does they have to do with us? Why would they help us govern Anmin? Moreover, these people The people of Annan have a great say in their hearts. If they respond to every call in the future, how will we deal with it?"
Scholars were educated and knowledgeable and could help Zhu Ping govern Annan, but at the same time, these people were not easy to fool. Especially when they had experienced the Chen Dynasty and the Li Dynasty in power, if Zhu Ping's actions were not to their liking in the future, they would definitely collude with each other to oppose the Ming Dynasty.
If that's the case, what are these people doing? Did you find anything for yourself and give it to your ancestors?
"But, but...there must be loyal people among these people..." Fang Xiaoru said nonchalantly.
Han Du immediately sneered disdainfully and said: "Loyalty, that is also their loyalty to Annan. What does this have to do with us? As the saying goes, they are heroes and enemies of mine. Keeping these people here will do no harm but no benefit. Of course, I didn’t say that we should kill all the gentry. We can keep the weaklings who obey us. With them, we can manage the Annan people."
Seeing that Han Du did not use loyal men, but wanted to use despicable villains who betrayed the country and sought glory, Fang Xiaoru suddenly blushed with anger and became thick-necked. But although he was so angry that he continued to vent his anger towards Han Du, he could not find a reason to refute Han Du.
Regarding the time change, the Ming Dynasty naturally tried its best to use well-mannered scholars, but here it is better to use despicable villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
Because such people will be more obedient, they will do whatever the Ming Dynasty says, and they will not consider too much the interests of the people of Annan. They only care about whether they can be promoted and make a fortune. As long as Ming Dynasty gives them enough benefits, they can bite the enemy for Ming Dynasty like dogs.
"Not bad...
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
...I also like people like this. "Zhu Xiang touched his chin and chuckled, not feeling anything bad about this at all. What he lacks most now is money. If he doesn't confiscate some officials' homes and exterminate their clans, where will he get the money to support the Prince of Qin's Palace and the Sixth Guards?
As for those weaklings who are corrupt officials, it is not their own money that they are greedy for anyway.
Han Du moved his eyes away from Fang Xiaoru's face and said to Zhu Xi: "The prince should not only be tax-free, but also try his best to enable the children of the common people to study. Of course, they must not learn from the books of Annan now, but We must use special books. We must completely downplay Annan and the Ming Dynasty in the books, and repeatedly add Annan's subordinates to the Ming Dynasty and the various prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, etc. We must also completely collect and destroy Annan's history books. In this way, when these ignorant children grow up, no one will admire the former Annan, and they will be closer to the Ming Dynasty."
When Fang Xiaoru heard this, his eyes suddenly shrank and he looked at Han Du with horror on his face. Suddenly he raised his finger and pointed at Han Du, and asked sternly: "What do you want to do? Burn books and humiliate scholars?"
Although Zhu Xi and Mu Ying didn't react as much as Fang Xiaoru, they frowned subconsciously. In their opinion, books are, after all, classics of saints. The books used by Annan were also the Four Books and Five Classics circulated in the Ming Dynasty. Burning them rashly might be too much.
"Burn books and entrap scholars? Brother Fang is serious. I am not Qin Shihuang, so I am not qualified." Han Du smiled faintly.
But neither Fang Xiaoru nor Zhu Ping and Mu Ying's faces improved.
After pondering for a while, the smile on Han Du's face gradually disappeared, and he said solemnly: "If you want to destroy your country, you must first destroy its history; if you want to destroy its history, you must first destroy its writing.
Of course, the characters used in the Annan Court were originally the Chinese characters of our Ming Dynasty, so this step was omitted. However, Annan's history books must be completely destroyed. Even if they are not destroyed, they must be properly preserved and must not be allowed to wander among the Annan people. "
As he said this, Han Du turned to look at Zhu Xi across from him, and when he saw him nodding with understanding, he continued: "When these ignorant children grow up, the King of Qin can also open a subject to recruit scholars, and then let them recruit those who were traitors to the country." Clean up the villains. In this way, Annan will be clean and upright, and there will no longer be any fatigue. If the King of Qin can act like this, no one will remember Annan's past in less than ten years."
A very powerful neighbor of the Ming Dynasty just disappeared from the world... The three of them looked at Han Du blankly, and these words came to their minds at the same time.
Looking at the talkative look on Han Du's face, anyone who didn't know would have thought that Han Du was discussing morality and mystery with the three of them.
Mu Ying also looked at Han Du deeply and refused to look away. Han Du shocked him too much. In the past, he had seen people killing people while talking and laughing, but he had never seen people destroying countries while talking and laughing.
Now, Muying has seen it!
"Ahem." Han Du covered his mouth with his hands and looked at the three of them with a smile, "What are you looking at?"
"without......"
"Didn't see anything..."
Zhu Xi and Mu Ying both replied quickly and incoherently.
As for Fang Xiaoru, he didn't want to talk to Han Du at all. Han Du's appearance at this moment felt extremely strange to him, as if Han Du's skin was still there, but he had changed into a different person in his heart.
There was something wrong with the atmosphere. Han Du had almost said what he needed to say, and he didn't want to stay here any longer. He stood up and cupped his hands towards Zhu Ming and said, "The King of Qin will consider this matter himself. I have been tired for a long day, so I will leave first."
"Oh, I understand. Since you are tired, you should go and rest first." Zhu Ping did not stay with Han Du and waved him away. Han Du's words just now were too heavy and rich in content. He still needed to think about it carefully.
Mu Ying and Fang Xiaoru saw him and stood up to say goodbye to Zhu Ping.
Fang Xiaoru followed Han Du and walked out. He hesitated for a moment and then called out to Han Du.
Han Du turned back to look at Fang Xiaoru and asked him with a smile: "What? Looking at your gloomy look, are you dissatisfied with my proposal?"
Fang Xiaoru couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly asked Han Du: "Are you really planning to destroy Annan?"
"Of course." Han Du said lightly. The Ming Dynasty had occupied the entire Annan, so naturally it would not return it. Since Annan is to be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the biggest problem is that Annan will resist. If you want to eliminate this kind of resistance, in addition to killing people, you must not let go of Annan's history. Otherwise, there will be endless disasters in the future, and Ming Dynasty will be subject to endless uprisings and struggles.
Therefore, Annan is destined to be destroyed, and no one can save it.
Fang Xiaoru was stunned when he heard this and looked at Han Du in silence. Suddenly he looked up at the sky and laughed at himself: "When His Highness the Prince asked me to go to sea, I didn't take it seriously. Although it is said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, I, Xiaoru, thought that I was well-informed. I didn't expect that all this overseas What I saw and heard really opened my eyes. The most important thing is that you gave me a good lesson."
"Brother Fang's words are serious. Don't take advice seriously." Han Du stood on the spot with his feet side by side, motionless.
"In the past, I thought Brother Han was a humble gentleman. Not only was he upright and honest, but he also found ways to help the weak. But I never expected that Brother Han would look like this overseas." Fang Xiaoru said, staring at Han with burning eyes. Du asked, "Why is this? Brother Han, may you be able to explain this to me?"
