Zhu Xi would actually lower his profile and ask Han Du for advice?
Mu Ying 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 and harsh, and the people did not support it. This is why we were able to conquer the entire Annan so quickly. But after all, we are outsiders in the eyes of the 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 Xi nodded calmly and said: "I also know this, but it doesn't matter. I am patient. But how can we completely conquer the Annan people? Handu, 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 Xi nor Mu Ying expressed anything about this. It was just killing people. Not to mention that the Li family deserved their crimes. Even if they were not guilty, as long as killing them could win over people's hearts, Zhu Xi and Mu Ying killed them.
He wouldn't have the slightest scruples when he got up. He wasn't one of his own anyway, so he wouldn't feel bad if he was killed.
But Fang Xiaoru didn't agree very much. He frowned and asked, "The whole clan is going to be killed?"
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 if you just say this?" 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 a few times, thinking that this guy is too scholarly? Where are the immortals in this world? The only ones who are dead now are Annan people.
It's already pretty good.
Han Du saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward and didn't know why Fang Xiaoru suddenly burst out. After calming down his thoughts, Han Du looked at the angry Fang Xiaoru and explained: "You have to know that in an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.
.The Li family was harsh in Annan and harmed the people. If we simply let them go, how could the people who were harmed by them in the past be redressed for 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, the Li family is innocent, so are other people innocent? Since the Li family has enjoyed the glory that the Li family has brought them, when disaster strikes, they will also
Don't blame anyone.
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 Fang finished speaking, he turned to Han Du and asked, "What should the Chen family do? Chen Tianping has not been heard from anymore, and I don'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 said: "Spread the news, the Li family has slaughtered all the Chen family. Like this
Not only can it add another crime to the Li family, but it can also make the Chen family disappear."
Fang Xiaoru was stunned 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 softly: "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 realized. Compared to Li
The Chen family and the Chen family deserve to die. If they don’t die, their identity as the Annan royal family will always be an obstacle to the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Chen family lives for a day, Zhu Xi will not have peace in Annan. Instead of leaving endless memories in the future
If there is endless trouble, it is better to take advantage of the current unstable situation to directly condemn the Chen family and blame everything on the Li family. When the Li family is eradicated, the Chen family will naturally disappear.
Even if someone comes forward and claims to be the Chen family in the future, just like Han Du said, just label them as fakes. As long as Zhu Ping is resolute and kills all such fakes, after a few times, I'm afraid
Even the real Chen clan members would never dare to admit their identity again.
As a result, the former lineage of King Annan naturally disappeared.
"Will this cause the people to lose control of their hearts?" Mu Ying asked Zhu Xi with some worry. His worries were not unreasonable. If the Li family were to mistreat the people in Annan, they would lose their hearts, but the Chen family was in Annan.
He has been king for more than a hundred years and has long 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 occupied Annan for many years. In fact, it can be seen from the lives of the people in Annan that they have great feelings for Annan.
The governance is not good at all, or even very bad. As long as the prince can let the people 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 learned about herself, the Chen family did not manage Annan very well at all. They were more
He just cares about his 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 then said calmly and naturally: "The most direct and effective way to appease the people and win over the people's hearts is tax exemption. 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 fault 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. No matter the Chen family or the Ming Dynasty people, for the people, they will support whoever can give them real money and silver benefits, and the Chen family's status in the hearts of the people is also
I don't know how good it will be.
If Zhu Zhen 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 the 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 I will be five years
There is no profit. Let alone building a palace, it would be nice if I don’t die of poverty.”
After the tax exemption, there will be no income, and whether it is the Qin Prince's Palace or the Qin Prince's Six Guards, they all need to spend money to support. Moreover, Annan is full of waste and is waiting for prosperity. If Zhu Ping wants to govern Annan well, he also needs to recruit officials and form a court.
Yes, each of these items requires a large amount of wealth to support them.
Zhu Xiang 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 lot of money. The real rich people in Annan are not the common people, but the gentry and bureaucrats. They wantonly enclose land and monopolize
Business, completely disregarding the life and death of the people of Annan, everyone is fat and oily.
Aren’t we going to clear out the remnants of the Li clan now? We can just take this opportunity to bring these
Eradicate these people one by one. Won’t the money just come?”
The best way to make a fortune is to raid homes. These Annan gentry and nobles are tyrannizing over the people, and they are very fat. If they are raided, not only will they not cause dissatisfaction among the people, but they can even use their money to support the people.
Best of both worlds.
"This, how is this possible?" Fang Xiaoru said suddenly, 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, I'm afraid it won't work if you want to rely on those gentry to help the prince manage Annan. These people are more hostile to us than ordinary people."
"But these are all scholars. How can Annan be governed if there are no 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 everything in the future, how will we deal with it?"
Scholars are educated and knowledgeable and can help Zhu Ping govern Annan, but at the same time, these people are not easy to fool. Especially when they have experienced the Chen Dynasty and Li Clan in power, if Zhu Ping's methods are not to their liking in the future, they will definitely
They will collude with each other to oppose the Ming Dynasty.
If that's the case, what are you going to do with these people? Have you found an ancestor for yourself?
"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, these people are their heroes and my enemies. Keeping these people here will do no harm but no good.
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 people, but wanted to use despicable villains who betrayed the country and sought glory, Fang Xiaoru suddenly blushed and had a thick neck. However, although he was so angry that he kept venting at Han Du, he could not find him.
Reasons to refute Han Du.
Regarding the matter of 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 Annan people. They only care about whether they can be promoted and make a fortune. As long as the Ming Dynasty gives them enough benefits, they can
Like a dog, it bites the enemy for Ming Dynasty.
"Yes, yes, I like people like this too." Zhu Xi touched his chin and said with a smile. He didn't think there was anything wrong with 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 go?
Use money to support the Qin Palace and the Six 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 exempted from taxes, but also try his best to allow 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 envy 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 a horrified face. He suddenly 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. When they thought about it, books were, after all, saints' classics. The books Annan used were also the Four Books and Five Classics circulated by the Ming Dynasty, so they rashly
I'm afraid burning it is a bit much.
"Burn books and entrap scholars? Brother Fang is serious, I am not Qin Shi
The emperor does not have this qualification." Han Du smiled faintly.
But neither Fang Xiaoru, nor Zhu Ping, nor 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 destroyed, and even if they are not destroyed, they must be properly preserved and must not be allowed to drift to the
Annan folk."
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 obtain 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 neighboring country 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 Han Du's face with Yun Danfeng talking lightly, if someone didn't know better, they would definitely think 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 said almost everything he needed to say. He didn't want to stay here any longer. He stood up and cupped his hands towards Zhu Xi and said, "The King of Qin will consider this matter himself. I've been tired for a long day, so I'll leave first."
"Oh, I understand. Since you are tired, you should go and rest first." Zhu Xi did not stay with Han Du and waved him away. The words Han Du just said were too heavy and rich in content. He
You still need to think about it carefully.
When Mu Ying and Fang Xiaoru saw him, they also stood up and said goodbye to Zhu Ping.
Fang Xiaoru walked out behind Han Du, 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 calmly. The Ming Dynasty had occupied the entire Annan, so naturally it would not return it. Since Annan is to be included in the Ming Dynasty's territory, the biggest problem is that Annan will resist. If you want to,
To eliminate this kind of resistance, in addition to killing people, we must not let go of Annan's history. Otherwise, there will be endless disasters in the future, and the Ming Dynasty will be subject to endless uprisings and struggles.
Therefore, Annan is doomed and no one can save it.
Fang Xiaoru was stunned when he heard this and looked at Han Du who was silent. Suddenly he looked up at the sky and laughed to himself: "When His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to go to sea, I didn't think so. Although it is said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, but
I, Xiaoru, consider myself well-informed. I didn’t expect that what I saw and heard overseas was really eye-opening for me. The most important thing is that you gave me good advice."
"Brother Fang's words are serious. Don't take your 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, honest and honest, and 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, can you explain it to me?"
