Of course Liu Chan understood what the old man meant. Such things have never happened before in history. For example, Genghis Khan, the later generation of genius, also occupied a large territory. However, due to improper governance, he ended up shooting with a bow.
Big eagle.
Liu Chan said with a smile: "Of course, Sasanian is the native language of the Sassanid people. I will support its preservation. The promotion of Chinese throughout our territory is just to facilitate communication throughout the country. It can be communicated from top to bottom. It is definitely not for
Remove the Sasanian culture."
It is very difficult to assimilate a race and remove the culture of that race. Even if you want to achieve it, it will take a long time to be possible. If you do it too hastily, it will easily cause a fierce backlash.
p>
The Sasanian people in the main hall were quite satisfied with Liu Chan's answer. They only regarded Chinese as an official language, but Sassanid was still retained.
Then another person came out and asked: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, I don't know why you want to abolish the slavery system. This system has been implemented for thousands of years. There is nothing wrong with it." As he said that, he thought for a moment,
He added: "If it is abolished, it will also cause a strong backlash from the nobles, because it will affect the interests of the nobles. Will your Majesty have to pay for it?"
The slavery system has been operating in the West for a long time. As a time traveler, Liu Chan is naturally very opposed to this system.
If the slave system is followed and Sassanid is now occupied by the Han army, the Han army can turn the Sasanians into slaves, then oppress and exploit them.
"The Han Dynasty is a people-oriented dynasty!" Liu Chan said, then stared at the man and asked: "If I, the Han Dynasty, continue to retain this system, can I understand that I can include you all as my Han Dynasty?
slave?"
Liu Chan's words made that man shut up.
Because what Liu Chan said was not wrong.
They are the Sasanians, the Sasanians defeated by the Han army. According to the practice after previous wars, the defeated people will become the slaves of the victor.
"As for the interests of the nobles!" Liu Chan continued: "In this world, the nobles are a minority, and the common people are the main force and the main productive force in this world. Without these common people, what would the nobles eat? What would they drink? What would they wear?"
The fact that the Sasanians in this hall now can understand Chinese means that they are definitely not ordinary civilians, and many of them are nobles.
Perhaps they were the least willing to hear what Liu Chan said.
But Liu Chan didn't care.
Why?
Anyway, now that the Han army has occupied Ctesiphon, if they continue to stay, the Sasanians should resist, or they will resist. After all, the Han people are a foreign race in the eyes of the Sasanians.
This is essentially different from the Sasanians overthrowing the Parthians.
The implementation of the New Deal may affect the interests of these nobles, and they may stand up and resist, but for Liu Chan, it is not a big deal.
At worst, if we lead the army back to the Central Plains, what will we lose?
If this policy is successfully implemented.
Hum——
At least the people at the bottom will think of the great man.
Liu Chan gave his explanations for all three policies. For these Sasanians, they may not be able to accept them in the short term, because they can understand these policies. For ordinary people, this is a good thing, but
For some nobles among them, this is not a good thing.
But Liu Chan didn't care.
The three decrees were promulgated and implemented in court. The first place to be implemented was naturally the Mede City, Assyrian City, and Taixi Feng City that had been occupied by the Han army.
After the policy was promulgated, it really aroused a strong response.
The Sasanians did not have many opinions on the first and third articles of the decree. They wanted to learn another language. The Han also advocated equality for everyone and did not lower the status of the Sasanians, so they did not oppose these two articles.<
/p>
But for the abolition of slavery.
This caused a big shock.
The slave owners in the three cities were the first to stand up and oppose because their interests were deprived by the Han people.
"Your Majesty!" Xu Shu asked with a frown: "Now the slave owners in the three cities do not accept the abolition of slavery... I am worried..."
"Is Xu Aiqing worried that they will resist?" Liu Chan asked.
"Yes!" Xu Shu nodded and said: "The nobles here are already accustomed to this system, and slaves are their private property... Your Majesty's abolishment of the slavery system is, to them, robbing their private property."
Xu Shu was really worried, just like when Liu Chan wanted to attack the aristocratic family in Chang'an before. The aristocratic family has deep roots. In fact, the population hidden by the aristocratic family is equivalent to the slaves of the aristocratic family.
"Xu Aiqing!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "Society must develop and mankind must progress. Sooner or later, this kind of slavery system will be eliminated by the times. Now that we are here, if this system is not abolished, it won't take long before our
Some Han people will also come here to become slave owners."
"As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there will be resistance!" Liu Chan sighed before adding: "Now we have occupied the three cities of Assyria, Media, and Ctesiphon, but we have not completely made the Sasanians surrender. Once
These slave owners stand up and resist, and sooner or later we will be kicked out by them."
"Your Majesty!" Xu Shu asked: "Your Majesty, are we going to stay here forever?"
Xu Shu was stunned. When he first entered Sasanian, he asked Liu Chan whether the purpose of this expedition to Sasanian was to completely conquer Sasanian or to Yang Wei Sasanian.
But Liu Chan’s answer was the latter, just to let the Sassanid people know that we big men can’t be bullied casually.
But what is Liu Chan saying now?
"Why not?" Liu Chan said with a smile: "This land is rich in products, so it would be a pity to discard them so easily."
"Your Majesty!" Xu Shu said hurriedly: "Sassan is far away from the Han Dynasty. How can we manage such a vast territory?"
As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, not to mention that this is the land of foreigners.

Xu Shu objected.
"Don't worry, dear, I have my own ideas!" Liu Chan said, and then said seriously: "Pass this order, the three cities of Media, Assyria, and Ctesiphon must abolish the slavery system and order all slave owners to release all slaves immediately.
Slaves, anyone who violates this will be killed without mercy."
"Your Majesty!" Xu Shu was a little panicked, but Liu Chan said seriously: "Xu Aiqing, if we want to occupy these three cities for a long time, we need the support of some Sasanians;" He sighed again, and then said: <
/p>
"Don't count on these nobles. Even if they appear to be surrendering now, they are the most unreliable; and the people at the bottom who are slaves to them are the ones we can fight for, and this group of people is huge."
After deciding to stay in Sasan, Liu Chan has been thinking about this matter.
Now that the Han Dynasty had just defeated the Sassanid royal family, and also killed the Sasanian war god Shapur in front of the battle, the Sassanid people are now afraid of the Han army.
At this time, the Sasanians in the three cities occupied by the Han army, even if they were dissatisfied with the Han army's policies, did not dare to become too obvious enemies of the Han army.
This is an opportunity.
Liu Chan has always believed that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. Even for foreigners, the same principle applies. Now that the people who are oppressed by slave owners are liberated, these people will naturally be grateful to the Han people and side with the Han people.
As long as the Han army has the support of the common people at the bottom, those slave owners and nobles, even if they want to overthrow the world, they will have to weigh it.
Xu Shu is a smart man, Liu Chan said it so straightforwardly, and also told him that the Han army does not plan to leave now and will stay in this land.
"Old minister obeys the order!"
Xu Shu had no choice but to agree.
Liu Chan's idea is very simple. He wants to use these three cities as experimental fields, and at the same time, he also wants to shock the surrounding city-states.
However, in the next six months, Liu Chan was always nervous.
It wasn't until July of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty (AD 244) that Liu Chan's nervous mood finally calmed down.
In the past half year, most of the large and small city-states that originally belonged to the Sasanian Dynasty chose to ignore the edict issued by Liu Chan. Only five or six smaller nearby city-states were afraid of the Han Dynasty.
The army had to temporarily express its willingness to rely on.
Liu Chan was actually mentally prepared for this.
Although the Han army entered the capital of the Sassanid Dynasty and destroyed the Sasanian royal family, these city-states were previously afraid of the Sasanian Dynasty, so they surrendered to the Sasanian Dynasty.
But now, the Han army came from afar. Although they defeated the Sasanian king, they did not recognize the Han Dynasty.
Of course Liu Chan can understand it, but he may not necessarily agree with it. After all, they are foreigners. The real headaches for Liu Chan are actually the slave owners of Media City, Assyrian City, Ctesiphone City, and the nobles.
p>
Because Liu Chan ordered the abolition of slavery.
First, the slave owners in Assyria stood up to resist, and then in the cities of Media and Ctesi. The slave owners and nobles all disagreed with Liu Chan's decision. They paraded the streets with their slaves all day long, refusing to implement the government's decree.
But Liu Chan has made up his mind to abolish the slavery system. If these slave-owning nobles oppose it and compromise, it will be difficult for the Han army to stay in Sassanid for a long time.
Strictly enforce it!
This is Liu Chan’s decision.
As a result, large-scale conflicts soon broke out in the three cities.
In May 244 AD, Liu Chan couldn't bear it anymore and finally ordered the arrest of the rebellious slave owners and nobles.
Of course, these slave owners and nobles would not be captured without mercy, so they led the slaves in a desperate fight with the Han army.
It took a month for the Han army to kill more than 2,000 slave owners and nobles in three cities. Only then did the rebellion of the slave owners and nobles finally subside.
Facing the slave owners and nobles who refused to carry out the decree, Liu Chan decided to kill without mercy. He actually did not want to kill people, but these nobles and slave owners were unwilling to cooperate.
Anyway, from the beginning, Liu Chan didn't have a good impression of these nobles and slave owners, so he had no choice but to kill them as a warning to others.
After the slave owners' rebellion subsided, Liu Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because, through this suppression, the cities of Mede, Assyria, and Ctesiphon finally completed the abolition of slavery.
After final statistics, this suppression resulted in the death of 130,000 people in the riots in the three cities, but in the end, 960,000 slaves were released as slaves.
In the study, Liu Chan looked at the data and said with satisfaction: "Slavery in these three cities has been abolished. The fields will be distributed to these people immediately. We have to let these people know that our Han Dynasty means what we say."
Xu Shu, the censor doctor, complimented him and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
