"However, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers!"
"Only what you truly hold in your hands is yours. Da Qin does not need such young men!"
Jin Yao continued.
What the Qin State wants to implement is counties and counties, the feudal system no longer exists, and aristocratic autonomy is even more impossible to exist!
If we don’t kill them now, the implementation of the county-county system will still trigger this contradiction in the future.
Rather than letting the already devastated Chu land be destroyed again, it would be better to solve the trouble once and for all.
"If nothing else happens, the chief administrator of the Chu region will arrive soon, and Guo Kai should be on the way too!" Jin Yao continued while looking at everyone.
The land reform method was led by Guo Kai. Once the Chu land was conquered, it would naturally not be left behind. Therefore, Jin Yao could guess that the chief official sent by Xianyang this time must be Guo Kai!
"Here!" Meng Wu and Meng Tian finally accepted the order.
So the two of them took the wolf guards and began to travel through all the counties, counties and villages of Chu State, or in other words, they killed all the nobles of all sizes in Chu State.
At first, Meng Wu and Meng Tian really didn't dare to go on a killing spree, but after the butcher's knife was swung, they couldn't stop.
Killing one is killing, killing two is killing, there is no difference.
The key is that they killed a few big nobles first, and when they saw that Li Mu didn't send anyone to stop them, they understood that this was Li Mu's acquiescence to their actions.
Although Li Mu was very angry and furious, he didn't say anything. He had already killed everyone, so what else could he do?
At the beginning, some nobles came to him to cry, but due to Jin Yao's current status, Li Mu didn't say much else.
But as the killings of Meng Wu and Meng Tian progressed, Li Mu discovered...
It seemed to be much quieter. No one was fooling around in front of him every day, and no one was crying in his ears.
So, Li Mu stopped caring about it. Isn't it good to keep the ears clean?
Anyway, he is only a temporary administrator. After Xianyang comes, these things will be the business of the latecomers.
He really doesn’t know how to govern!
"You killed all these nobles, are you not afraid of the civil uprising in Chu?" Li Mu looked at Jin Yao who invited him to go fishing by the river. After hesitation, he still put on his helmet.
"I killed everyone in Jiujiang and Dongting, and the people were clapping and applauding!"
"I killed everything south of the Yangtze River, and there was still no civil unrest!"
"Later, I massacred Huainan, but there was no civil unrest either!"
"So, civil unrest does not exist!"
Jin Yao said nonchalantly.
"The common people in the world are actually very easy to be satisfied. All they want is two meals a day and three meals for four seasons. These aristocratic things are too far away from them."
"As long as it can make their lives better, even if they kill all the nobles, they will just clap their hands and say "well done!"
Li Mu looked at Jin Yao who was talking to Kai Kai and knew that this was the truth.
"Zhao's old troops, how do you plan to solve them?" Li Mu stopped dwelling on the matter and turned to ask Jin Yao about Zhao's 100,000 old troops.
This is what he cares about most!
This army is too large in number and too elite!
As their former boss, Li Mu couldn't do anything, but as a lieutenant and general of the Qin Kingdom, he had to pay attention.
This army is a restless and turbulent factor. If left alone, it will be deceived by people with malicious intentions in the future, and it will definitely lead to great chaos.
"Do you think military honors can still exist after the world is unified?" Jin Yao asked rhetorically.
Li Mu frowned, "Master of military merit!"
This is the foundation of Qin's strength. To put it bluntly, it is to turn the entire Qin Dynasty into a militaristic system with only farmers and warriors. Once the world is unified, it will enter a period of recuperation. At that time, the military merit system will inevitably become a stumbling block that hinders the development of Qin and will be abandoned.
It is also inevitable.
"Military honors no longer exist, and the army will become the key to change!" Jin Yao continued.
"When the world is unified, Great Qin will no longer need such a large army!" Li Mu said.
Due to the needs of the war, Qin's current standing military strength is too large. Coupled with the surrendered soldiers gathered after several battles, Qin's military strength has now reached nearly one million.
This is a very high proportion for the world's population of less than 30 million.
"So, in the future, Great Qin will need elite soldiers and generals, and it will also follow the elite route. At that time, what the world will need is just as we expected back then, and what it will need is an army that is fully trained on a full-time basis.
Rather than being drafted as soldiers in wartime and as farmers in leisure time!" Jin Yao continued.
Li Mu's eyes lit up and he understood what Jin Yao meant.
This Zhao State's old troops used to be completely off-duty soldiers, but they were later disarmed and returned to the field because Zhao State was no longer around.
Now that they have appeared again, how to resettle them is actually very simple. Just like when Zhao was still there, Qin will provide funding for them.
I think Xianyang will also be very hungry for such an elite army that is good at fighting!
The most important thing is that the Qin State is not short of money now. If it can solve such an unstable factor with money, anyone in Xianyang who is not stupid will know what to do!
On the way from Xianyang to Shouchun, Guo Kai also brought Wang Ming.
The first is to implement land reform in the Chu region!
The first is to find a way to keep this elite Zhao State!
What's more, he should succeed Li Mu as the chief local administrator of Chu State to appease the people and win over the people!
"Lord Long!" Guo Kai was most worried about the delicate relationship between Xianyang and Longcheng.
The one who cannot be avoided in governing Chu Land is the Dragon King of Dragon City. Whatever he wants to do, he has to argue with Dragon City!
It is equivalent to two imperial courts jointly managing the Chu region!
However, the relationship between Long Jun and the king was too good, which made Guo Kai even more distressed.
"We can only take one step at a time!" Guo Kai had no better way.
Just as he entered the Chu territory, Guo Kai saw Meng Wu and Meng Tian leading the Wolf Guards killing people everywhere. For a moment, he thought it was Li Mu who was killing good people and taking advantage of his merits, and was plundering troops, and he was shocked.
But based on Guo Kai's understanding of Li Mu, this kind of thing could not happen, so after asking around, he found out that this was Lord Long's order.
"This is trying to intimidate me!" Guo Kai thought.
As soon as you come here, you put yourself in a situation where no one can use it. What a good trick!
When Guo Kai arrived in Shouchun, not many people came to greet him, and the banquet was extremely deserted. Apart from the generals of the army, only officials from Longcheng were left.
"Are you trying to intimidate me?" Guo Kai looked at Li Mu and asked in a low voice.
After all, they come from the same country as Zhao, a natural political alliance!
"Do you still want noble officials from Chu to greet you?" Li Mu blinked and looked at Guo Kai.
"Shouldn't there be?" Guo Kai asked back.
"You'd better not expect it, otherwise you'll have to live in your dreams to see them!" Li Mu said seriously.
"???" Guo Kai was stunned, not knowing what Li Mu meant.
"They were all killed by Lord Long! If they can welcome you, you may really be the only one to go down, or you may have a dream!" Li Mu said playfully.
"..." Guo Kai fell silent, "Then it's better not to come!"
