Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 183
Wu State, Yunyang County.

At the gate of the city, a brand new notice has been posted for passers-by to watch.

Next to the notice, there was an official wearing a black robe, responsible for interpreting the content of the notice for Li Shu!

"What's written on it?"

"Your Majesty wants to attract savages and people from other countries into Wu. If anyone flees to Wu, the government will give them a head, and each person will be given a house, three acres of land, one piece of cloth, and a set of agricultural tools. He will also rent cattle to cultivate. The rest should be treated like Chinese people."

"Moreover, the savages in Wu are treated the same as those outsiders!"

"what?"

The people nearby are quite dissatisfied with this decree issued by the country.

Wu State is not a xenophobic country, and the people of Wu are not without the slightest amount of tolerance.

However, Qingji gave so many preferential policies to outsiders at once, which would inevitably make the Li Shu of Wu State feel unbalanced!
Be kind!

Savages are similar to outsiders, but lower in status than outsiders.

Because savages are generally forced to make a living, people or criminals who cannot make a living in other countries, and those who exile to Wu are considered refugees.

Savages have no household registration and are black households, so they are often listed as slave arrest targets.

It's okay for migrant households. If they migrate to Wu State through proper channels, they can enjoy household registration.

After a few generations of hard work in farming, grazing, fishing and hunting, they would become real Wu people.

Moreover, outsiders like them need to pay taxes to the country, so they can also be called Wu people.

The Li Shu of the Wu Kingdom didn't have much xenophobic psychology, but Qingji's preferential treatment of outsiders would inevitably make them feel dissatisfied!
"Your Majesty treats outsiders too generously!"

"Hehe, so what? It's not about taking your land, your houses and farm tools and giving them away!"

"Your Majesty, this is out of consideration for the national interest. How can you know the deep meaning of it when you are promoted to the common people?"

"Yes! Your Majesty is concerned about the country and the people, and he is a benevolent monarch. How can we criticize His Majesty?"

"We should obey all the orders of the king!"

It has to be said that Qingji's status in the hearts of Wu people is extremely high.

At least for some of Qingji's practices, even if the common people can't understand, they can follow them unconditionally.

……

Wudu, Xianghu Camp.

When Grand Sima Sun gathered the troops by beating drums and told the news of Qingji's decision to disarm the soldiers, there was an immediate uproar!
However, this seems to be an unreasonable thing.

Because so far, Wu's army has implemented a system of combining soldiers and peasants. Except for generals of noble origin, anyone in the army may be dismissed, and there is no kind of compensation.

However, Qingji considers that it is not easy for the soldiers to guard the border for themselves, so they will give retired soldiers a certain degree of pension.

At the same time, in the Wu Palace, in the Zide Hall, Qingji was sitting across the table with Zhisu Neishi Fan Li, playing Go.

This is the so-called game!

However, Qing Ji's chess skills are far inferior to Fan Li's.

His stinky chess basket, even if Fan Li conceded a few moves and deliberately released water, it couldn't last long and ended in failure.

Fortunately, Qingji's chess skills are not good, but he still has his chess virtues, and he will not be angry with Fan Li or condemn Fan Li because of his repeated defeats on the chessboard.

After all, Qingji is the Lafayette Cixi of later generations.

It is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi loves to play chess. Of course, it is "high addiction and low level", but no one dares to beat her, whether it is a minister in the court or a eunuch in the palace. Over time, Lafayette thought he was a national player.

One day, Lian Qi, the eunuch of the imperial dining room who was born in a chess family, played chess with Lafayette. Lian Qi said hurriedly while taking the cart and eating the horse: "The servant killed Lafayette with a horse."

When Cixi saw that she had lost at chess, she was furious and shouted, "What? You killed my horse? Okay, I'll kill your whole family!"

The ending of the story is that the eunuch, who is a chess master, was really executed by all his families.

"No more, no more!"

Seeing that his chess piece was cornered and there was no possibility of a comeback, Qingji simply put the chess piece back in his hand.

But just don't admit defeat!

"Your Majesty, I accept it."

Fan Li smiled slightly, and hurriedly bowed to Qing Ji.

"Young Uncle, this is you. If I were Bo Tong, I would give him ten guts, but he wouldn't dare to win a round with him!"

Qingji lost the game, but still couldn't help joking with Fan Li.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, I have just given way to the King in the chess game, and I also thought about letting the King win a game, but my strength does not allow..."

I rely on!

This is outrageous!
This is embarrassing!
"Uncle Shao, you are a real person."

Qingji had no choice but to praise Fan Li.

If Fan Li hadn't known Qingji's tolerance, he probably wouldn't have been able to do such a thing.

Fan Li is not a person who is good at flattery and flattery, and his personality is not like that of Bo Tong, but at the same time, Fan Li is not the kind of upright person who doesn't know how to adapt.

He knew that if he won Qingji, he would not be punished or annoy Qingji.

My king's belly is not ordinary!
Furthermore, sometimes it is more difficult to deliberately lose than to win!
There was no need for Fan Li to worry too much about this kind of thing.

Bo Tong is different, Bo Tong knows how to please Qing Ji all the time, and he is the kind who does everything he can!
"Where. In fact, the king's chess skills have improved. I believe that in three to five years, the minister may not be able to beat the king in Go!"

"As for the widow's stinky chess basket, let's not talk about it."

Qingji waved his hands, very open-minded.

"Uncle Shao, have you heard any rumors about the prohibition of arresting slaves in our country of Wu recently, the closure of tooth shops, and the banning of them by officials and slaves?"

Public opinion is a major concern of Qingji.

After all, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world!

Without a certain mass base, Qingji's throne would not be stable.

Qingji still knows the truth that water can carry a boat and capsize it.

People's livelihood and public opinion, the celebration of the taboo is the first priority from the beginning to the end!

In the past few days, Qingji has been staying in the Wu Palace, never going out, and concentrates on handling government affairs, so if he wants to know the news from outside, he can only get it through a minister like Fan Li who is outspoken and admonishing.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the people of the country don't care about the government's prohibition of arresting slaves, and the banning of tooth trade by the government's slave government. On the contrary, they are quite critical of the preferential treatment offered by the King to absorb the people and savages of other countries!"

Complaints?

Regarding these problems, Qingji was very clear in his heart.

On the issue of slavery, it really has little to do with ordinary people, and it is natural to be indifferent.

As for Qingji's series of preferential policies to attract savages and people from other countries to settle in Wu, the people of the country would be disgusted, which is also understandable.

After all, everything is difficult to be satisfactory, and Qingji only wants to have a clear conscience!
