After Ran Liang heard the idea, he disagreed.
"This idea of yours is too reckless. Killing the goose and taking the egg will not be worth the loss!"
Hearing this, the subordinate was greatly puzzled.
"The emperor personally appointed me as the first foreign vassal. Do you know why?" Ran Liang did not answer, but asked his subordinates.
Everyone was puzzled.
Except for some of the original begging refugees, most of them were Zabu Xianbei who had surrendered in the Xiazhou grassland area. They were all illiterate roughnecks. How could they possibly know the emperor's thoughts?
Ran Liang also knew that most of them didn't understand, so he explained directly.
"The emperor personally appointed me as a foreign vassal, because he wanted to imitate the strategy of the emperor of Zhou who divided the world by dividing the empire."
"Back then, the Emperor of Zhou only occupied Xiqi and flourished for a while. If he wanted to consolidate the world, he had to entrust the most trusted people to various places to protect the Emperor of the capital."
Even though Ran Liang made his words so clear, some of his subordinates still found it difficult to understand.
When Ran Liang saw it, he skipped the eloquent explanation and spoke directly.
"To put it bluntly, the emperor asked us to become an independent vassal state close to the Western Regions, just to let us defend the Western Regions Protectorate, and even defend the Liangzhou Central Plains. This was the strategy used by the Emperor Zhou to seal the world."
"Your Majesty, what are the Xiajun Yimin?" a general asked.
"Xiajun Yimin, that is to say, among the Kangju people, all of us are going to become Xiajun, and those local Kangju people, Hujie people, Wusun people, etc., they are all Yimin."
"The number of these barbarians is almost ten times, or even dozens of times, that of ours. If we want to secure the kings and princes of this feudal country, we must follow my method!"
"Turn some of the barbarians into our loyal hawks and dogs, and use them to monitor and rule the rest of the local barbarians."
"Those who are good at farming, animal husbandry, and craftsmen are the group of people we attach the most importance to. People here in Kangju are accustomed to doing business, and farming, animal husbandry, and craftsmen have always had little status. If we promote them according to the standards of scholars, farmers, industry, and commerce, it must be our loyalty. It’s a hawk.”
"And those Kangju merchants are the tools we use to collect money from all directions. We can tax them heavily, but we can definitely not kill them and plunder them at every turn."
Ran Liang spoke endlessly about his entire philosophy of governing the country.
After everyone listened, they were all deeply shocked.
These people were originally homeless herdsmen or horse thieves. They had never thought about running the country.
Now after listening to Ran Liang's words, everything suddenly became enlightened.
"That's great. If it is what the king said, then in the future we will just sit and be the masters here in Kangju. No matter what kind of food, livestock, or money or jewelry, we can give it to ourselves. Come to your door?"
Some generals immediately fell into daydreams about a better future.
Although they are used to killing and fighting all day long, there is nothing they can do about it.
If we could live without worries every day and have good food and clothing, no one would be willing to contribute.
"This is just the beginning, let's start from Zhizhi City."
Ran Liang then assigned the task of reorganizing the people of Zhizhi City.
According to his plan, the first step was to turn some of the Kangju people who were most loyal to him into "city dwellers" and then gradually implement assimilation.
The next step is to move the businessmen with the highest status in Kangju to these seats.
Ran Liang was not worried about any threats from these Kangju merchants.
The tens of thousands of prairie cavalry in his hands may not be good at governing the country and bringing peace to the people, but they are the best at looting and killing.
The Kangju people, who have declined to the point where they are everywhere in the city-state, simply cannot have the strength to resist themselves.
All changes did not take long at all.
Soon, the entire Kangju people near Zhizhi City discovered that the entire world had undergone major changes.
The merchants who originally operated in the city were all driven outside the city, and the small Zhizhi City was filled with the influx of "Han people" from the East.
In addition to these "Han people", the only Kangju people who have the right to continue to live in the city are farmers and craftsmen.
In fact, the so-called 'farmers' here are not very accurate.
Because since ancient times, it has been impossible for mud-legged farmers to live in the city.
The 'farmers' in Zhizhi City are actually some large local landowners who own farmland and pastures.
According to the latest statement from Zhizhi City, the ranking of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce determines their title of 'farmer'.
"Your Majesty, everything in the city has been arranged!"
As soon as several popular generals saw Ran Liang, they immediately reported it.
Ran Liang looked at his subordinates with satisfaction.
These were originally the next steps, which were to move the businessmen with the highest status in Kangju to these seats.
