Although Duan Wenjun always felt that he was very important, when Chai Jingyun actually said that he was an important person, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
It seemed that there was a feeling of being remembered by the thief.
Fortunately, Chai Jingyun is not a thief.
He looked at Duan Wenjun, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn: "Brother Duan, your aunt has already advised your majesty on your 'carrot and stick' policy to quell banditry last time, and she has also received your majesty's approval. Agreed, the imperial edict will probably come out in a few days."
Hearing this, Duan Wenjun was shocked again.
The last time Chai Jingyun went to Duanjiabao, he just mentioned the "carrot and stick" policy casually, saying that using both soft and hard tactics to deal with bandits might have good results.
At that time, Chai Jingyun seemed a little interested and asked herself many questions.
Duan Wenjun originally thought that Chai Jingyun was just a young man from an idle prince's family, and that he only wanted to hear something new. At most, he was thinking about how to recruit people from Moon Island, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But I didn't expect that this guy was actually the commander-in-chief of the siege of Moon Island, and he even took what he said that day into consideration.
This guy even turned his ideas into policies, put them into a set, and reported them to Emperor Shun.
What was even more unexpected was that Emperor Shun actually approved it.
This seems to be a little beyond my expectation and control...
Just when he was surprised, Chai Jingyun's words rang out again, "Brother Duan's 'carrot and stick' policy, if it can be successfully promoted, will definitely greatly improve the banditry problem in our country. If it succeeds, Brother Duan will definitely be famous." Leave a lasting legacy!"
"With fewer bandits, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and only then can we in Dashun become rich and rise rapidly and become stronger."
"I have tried to dismantle Moon Island internally, but the results are not very good. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the general attack on Moon Island will take place in half a month at most, and then all the prisoners will be handed over to Brother Duan. Duanjiabao is the first trial point for Brother Duan's 'carrot and stick' policy. Not only will the emperor be watching, but the ministers of the court will also be watching, and even the common people and bandits in the world will be watching."
"That's why I said that Brother Duan is the most important person at this moment. It is related to Dashun's national destiny and the lives of tens of millions of people in the world. There is nothing to be careless about."
"Although I know that the Shadow Sect is very involved, I don't want Brother Duan and Daxia Mo to be distracted by it. At this juncture, you can't have any accidents. Therefore, I also believe that Uncle Eight Emperors will definitely Come forward and deal with the Shadow Gate matter."
After hearing this, Duan Wenjun finally understood.
When Chai Jingyun came to borrow food from him that day, he proposed to take in the prisoners on Moon Island.
The princess aunt couldn't bear to see those people beheaded, so she saved those people's lives.
But what to do with these people behind them, the princess and Chai Jingyun just had no idea.
If these people are sent to the frontier, no one knows how many people will die on the way.
Duan Wenjun said that although he and his aunt Princess only met once, they felt very close to each other.
It is my honor to be able to solve the problems for the princess aunt.
Therefore, he can find a way to take in those people.
But, to be honest, he has selfish motives.
Because he has already thought that his construction in Duanjiabao will require a lot of labor.
Although those on Moon Island are basically old, weak, women and children, they can still be fully utilized if there is proper division of labor and cooperation.
In previous lives, women could hold up half the sky.
It's just that this world is a male-dominated society, and women's status is too low, so they cannot fulfill their potential.
The reason why I want to take in people from Moon Island is because, whether they are women or old people, although their labor force may not be as good as that of mature men, they can still do things.
If they are children, as long as they are well nurtured, they will become the future flowers of Duanjiabao.
However, if the people of Moon Island desperately resist the encirclement and suppression by the army, and after the big battle, all the people left behind are people with missing arms and legs, and they are sent to Duanjiabao, then I will suffer a big loss.
That's why he suggested that Chai Jingyun consider a soft policy to subdue others without fighting.
Only then can we ensure the quality of the people we take in.
However, she couldn't let him know her selfish intentions, so she followed Chai Jingyun's words and used the princess's aunt as a shield.
Unexpectedly, Chai Jingyun not only believed what he said, but actually thought that he was a righteous man who sympathized with the princess's painstaking efforts and the suffering of the people, as if he had become a savior and a great hero.
This guy even linked his desire to take in prisoners with his "carrot and stick" policy.
In this way, it is logical that he has become a typical representative of the "carrot" policy.
Duan Wenjun swore that he really didn't think so far back at the beginning, and he really didn't think that the two things would be connected in this way.
After wearing such a high hat, the previous problem of worrying about others saying that he was colluding with bandits has been completely solved.
He can take in those people openly and turn them into Duanjiabao's labor force.
However, Duan Wenjun also understood that Duan Jiabao's taking in the prisoners of Moon Island at this moment was not just about his filial piety to his aunt, the princess.
As Chai Jingyun said, once the "carrot and stick" policy is finalized, Duanjiabao will become a trial site for national policies.
Many people in this world will be staring at this place.
If it is solved well, then everything will be easy to say.
If something went wrong, he didn't dare to think about it anymore...
When the emperor was angry, blood flowed like a river.
In his previous life, he had seen it on TV a lot...
Things seemed to be more difficult than he thought.
Moreover, it was so difficult that it was beyond his control.
However, this seems to have many benefits.
For example, if you become the center of attention and have a good reputation, it will probably be easier if you want to do some business.
If things on Moon Island are handled well, maybe more people will come to seek refuge with him.
As long as it is managed properly, there will be a steady stream of labor coming.
By then, the construction of Duanjiabao will definitely be completed faster, and the idea of their industrial park will be easier to implement.
If conditions permit, you can also open a branch of the workshop and tinker with other new gadgets.
Like that, it might just be a business empire...
However, the imagination is very rich, but the reality is very skinny.
Chai Jingyun's words rang out again, bringing Duan Wenjun's thoughts back to reality. "Brother Duan, do you have any idea about how those people will be arranged by then?"
"We have some directions, but there is no specific plan yet." Duan Wenjun shook his head, "But then we can see how many people there are, and I will make further plans."
"Judging from the intelligence coming in these days, I'm afraid there are more people on Moon Island than originally planned. There must be at least 8,000 people." Chai Jingyun's face became serious. "And more than half of them are woman."
Having said this, Chai Jingyun held the tea cup's hand and stopped in mid-air. "And, what I'm most worried about is that someone may be targeting these women now."
"Focus on these women? What do you mean?" Duan Wenjun was stunned when he heard this.
Chai Jingyun took a sip of tea, held it in his mouth for a long time, then swallowed it, and then spoke slowly.
Just a few days ago, the army encircled Dongshi Island, a bandit's water village next to Moon Island.
Dongshi Island is much smaller than Moon Island, with only a thousand people on the island.
Similar to the situation on Moon Island, these gangsters only brought their families with them.
Of the more than a thousand people on the island, women account for almost half.
According to the original plan, in order to implement the "big stick" policy, everyone on Dongshi Island would be killed to scare the monkeys.
However, in the end, it was discovered that the officers and soldiers who were encircling Dongshi Island hid the women on the island and secretly sold them to various places.
It was because an official from Lingxiao City bought a woman home and was assassinated that night that the incident came to light.
In order to prevent this from happening again, he has now been ordered to take over the entire siege of Moon Island to ensure nothing goes wrong.
He transferred a team of troops from the southern border army overnight, switched defenses with the local defenders, and completely took control of the situation.
This is why he is so confident that he has completely and firmly controlled Moon Island.
Because the southern frontier army must be more reliable than the local garrison.
The person in charge of the southern frontier army was Weng Ziqin, the son-in-law of former general Ye Ming.
Moreover, the people who were transferred here are all the people who I followed General Ye Ming and came here to quell the rebellion.
When he heard this, Duan Wenjun couldn't help but frown.
Could the troops under Ye Ming's command in Wangjiang to put down the rebellion be the same people who put down the rebellion of the four princes back then?
Is it a coincidence that Chai Jingyun transferred them here at this time? Does he have another plan?
