Wang Ben was silent for a while, the fishing rod in his hand was floating.

"Feng Chang should be able to do it. I have heard some news before that Feng Chang does not plan to leave anything to his descendants."

"And the ones I hate the most are generally the kind of people who rely on their parents and act recklessly."

"So, Fengchang's determination to change this tradition must be firm, but..."

Wang Ben stopped talking before he finished speaking, and Li Xin also sighed, and both of them knew the meaning.

Although Chen Ke wants to change and is capable of persisting in changing, the problem is that there are many people who do not want such a change hidden in Daqin.

The road ahead is very long.

At this time, ripples rippled on the surface of the lake, and a fish was swimming in the lake. The next moment, Wang Ben suddenly lifted the fishing rod in his hand.

A fish was hanging from the hook. Wang Ben pointed to the fish and said, "Look, the fish is hooked."

Beihai Prefecture, Wangdu County, Qingcao County
The heads of Guizhou under the stage were tired with numb eyes. They stood on the grassland and looked at the person standing in front of them.

It's just another person who oppressed them.

They never had hope in these people.

The person standing on the stage looked at the numbness in the eyes of these Guizhou chiefs, and sighed in his heart. In fact, he could understand the feelings of these people.

On the grassland, these may not be able to be called "people".

In the grasslands and some places in the Western Regions, slavery has not been abolished, and their country is still a slavery country.

It is different from Daqin today.

There are no "slaves" in Daqin now. Of course, there are still "slaves" and "servants". These are two different things.

Although the Khans of the Xiongnu Grassland called themselves "Khans" and "Wolf Kings", they were not so-called "kings" but "slave owners", at most older slave owners.

These slaves who are vassals in the tribe may not be as important as a cow in their eyes.

Looking at the insensitive group, Meng Wendong knew what he needed to do first.

"This place is already the territory of Daqin, and you are also the people of Daqin."

Meng Wendong's voice was stern and serious, and the first sentence determined the nature of the matter.

He did not establish his majesty, let alone declare his status as a senior official.

The first thing Meng Wendong did was to praise, commend, and give rewards from the court to some people.

"Bazar Banner and others come out."

The few middle-aged people in the audience who were dressed relatively cleanly, but whose temperament could tell that they were not rich, stepped forward.

When this group of people stood up, the rest were at a loss.

What is this for?
I only heard Meng Wendong say: "When you wiped out the Xiongnu tribe, you made some contributions and actively welcomed the arrival of the Great Qin."

"Therefore, Daqin wants to commend you."

Hearing this, the numb people in the crowd became a little jealous, and they looked at Bazar and others.

Commend?

They were all calm in their hearts.

First of all, this set of procedures is very familiar, and secondly, the rewards for commendation are "them". As slaves, they will be rewarded to new slave owners.

The left and right are just a change of master.

Why do they have mood swings?
However, what they said next made them a little confused and at a loss.

I heard Meng Wendong continue to say: "Your Majesty has a decree to give you Daqin household registration, give you one thousand qian, ten silver coins, ten acres of pastures in Qingcao County, five cattle and sheep each."

And Bazar and others immediately kowtowed: "Min, thank you for your grace."

After Meng Wendong gave the things to these people, Bazar and others returned to the team.

This makes those people a little confused, what does this mean?
Some people even snickered in their hearts, is it just a small reward for helping Daqin?
Meng Wendong looked at the people with different expressions, just smiled and said: "Everyone, I know what kind of life you lived when the Huns were here."

"But in Daqin, we don't allow the existence of slave owners."

He smiled and said: "Slave owners can burn, kill and loot at will, and even take you away without taking any responsibility. You also need to worry about your own life and your family every day."

"But the heads of Guizhou in Daqin, people with Daqin household registration, don't need to worry about this."

"The Law Society of Qin will fairly protect everyone who has a Daqin household registration."

"Any provocation against those who have the household registration of Daqin will be regarded as a provocation against Daqin and the laws of Qin."

"And His Majesty the First Emperor will definitely use Qin Law to punish him."

Meng Wendong casually said such a sentence, which left a deep impression on these people.

Of course, people at this time do not know the true weight of this sentence.

Meng Wendong just continued: "According to Qin law, all people in Daqin will get some land. Since Qingcao County is a county for grazing, we will turn "land" into "grassland" and continue to distribute it. "

He took out a booklet and said slowly: "In Qingcao County, except for the people in Bazar Banner who have Daqin household registration, most of the others have Daqin temporary household registration."

"Although Daqin's temporary household registration cannot directly allocate grassland to you, it allows you to exchange labor for grassland."

Meng Wendong's eyes were cold: "As for the members of the Three Banners, such as Ramtuo'er, Kuladuku, and Tan Degao, they cannot have any kind of household registration because they colluded with the Huns."

He looked at the people below and carefully explained to them the function of Daqin household registration, what temporary household registration can do, and what people without household registration or temporary household registration should do.

All the people standing on the grass subconsciously pinched their foreheads after listening to Meng Wendong's introduction.

People with household registration can allocate land, even take part in the selection examination, enter the court to work, and become a small official?
You can even go to various banners and districts to be officials?
People with temporary household registration can get money through labor, and even own their own grassland, but they need to buy it with their own money.

Don't have to treat yourself as a slave, and even be able to own your own property?
Are they dreaming?
Even those who do not have household registration can guarantee their own safety.
At least he won't be killed by someone who doesn't know where he came from, taken away as a slave, or even tortured to death.
Their children, their relatives, and their wives no longer belong to others, and they are no longer likely to be abused at any time.
At this time, even those who resisted Daqin before felt a little moved
If you can be a good human being, no one is willing to be a slave.

This is human nature.

Meng Wendong's eyes quickly captured the thoughts of these people, and a little smile slowly appeared in his heart.

He knew what these people were thinking, but pretended not to know, and continued to introduce in detail the "rights" and "obligations" of those with household registration, temporary household registration, and those without household registration.

The group of numb slaves knelt down, sincerely, as if they were in front of Changshengtian.

This is not Meng Wendong's request, but they feel the excitement and joy from the heart, unable to express their emotions, and can only use such primitive means to perceive their numb hearts.

It is not an exaggeration to say that tears flowed.

Meng Wendong looked at the people in front of him. These people may not be considered real "people" until now.

Before, they were not even worth as much as livestock.

Meng Wendong's originally cold heart softened for a moment, but it became cold and hard again in an instant.

Even if these people are Daqin people now and belong to Daqin, he still knows how to treat them.

He is also one of the academies of Baijiagong, and he has listened to many lectures before.

What impressed him the most was Chen Ke's attitude towards these "naturalized" people.

To sum it up, just a few words.

"It can't be too good, it can't be bad, it can't be better than Qin people and Central Plains people, and it can't be much worse than Central Plains people and Qin people."

The degree of this needs to be figured out by yourself.

Meng Wendong felt that he should be able to understand Chen Chengxiang's thoughts.

After all, he also felt that even if these people were naturalized, so what?If they are very friendly to them because their race is different from the Central Plains people and Qin people, even surpassing the original Qin people, then what is the previous efforts of the Qin people?
Therefore, in Meng Wendong's view, these people must not be allowed to live better than the Qin people.

Let them always know that there is some gap between them and the Qin people, but they can't make them feel that the gap is too big.

Meng Wendong's heart continued to harden, but his tone subconsciously softened.

Now these frontier people's attitude towards him is really much better than some Qin people, at least now these people are still simple.

This kind of thing happened not only in Beihai Prefecture, but also in Tianshan Prefecture.

These two territories that originally belonged to the Huns were inhabited by some aborigines. These people may be the efforts of the Huns who did not have time to take them away, or some original ethnic groups who lived here and did not belong to the Huns.

And under the propaganda of those county magistrates, at this time the whole frontier knew the benefits of being a Qin person and having a Daqin household registration.

What's more, some people sneaked to the local magistrate's office after hearing the news, and began to ask how to earn "points" to turn their temporary household registration into household registration.

Those who don't even have a temporary household registration no longer reject Daqin at this time, and begin to actively seek their own jobs, wanting to obtain Daqin household registration.

Zhangtai Palace
Listening to his subordinates constantly reporting news from all over the country, Ying Zheng unconsciously wore a smile on his face.

For him, it is of course a good thing to be able to conquer these two places without bloodshed, but at the same time, it is his son who made this plan, which makes him even happier.

It's the kind of pride that my family has grown up with.

With his hands behind his back, he said with a smile, "Han Tan, what do you think of Fu Su?"

Han Tan bent slightly, he knew that sometimes the emperor didn't really want to ask you when he asked you, but wanted you to praise him.

Dang even smiled: "Your Majesty, how does this servant know what is wrong, after all, this servant does not know many words."

"However, I can tell from Your Majesty and from Chengxiang Chen's expression that this plan to help Mr. Su must be the best."

"If it were a servant girl, I'm afraid the servant girl also wanted to fight for Daqin's household registration."

"What is this like?"

Han Tan had a wry smile on his face: "I heard from Prime Minister Chen that this servant is hanging some kind of radish in front of me."

Ying Zheng sneered, "Hang the carrot in front of the donkey?"

"That's how he, Chen Ke, would say such vulgar words."

He touched his chin and said, "However, what Chen Ke said is quite appropriate."

"I heard from the Black Ice Terrace below that some frontier regions originally resisted the Great Qin. After hearing some benefits of the Great Qin, they have already given up their resistance and started to discuss naturalization."

Ying Zheng sighed: "I prefer to open and close, but Fusu probably prefers to turn everything into himself in a silent place."

Han Tan just lowered his head, listening to the gossip belonging to His Majesty the First Emperor, at this moment he dared not say a word.

After all, this is not a time for talking.

Ying Zheng shook his head slightly, with a calm expression on his face: "Okay, what is that kid Chen Ke doing recently?"

"I haven't seen him for several days, and I even miss him a little."

Han Tan glanced at Ying Zheng's expression with the corner of his eyes, and after a few guesses in his mind, he said, "It's nothing."

There was a sneer in his tone: "I heard from the servants that Prime Minister Chen has been busy with making new currency recently, but I just don't know how it's going."

new currency?
Ying Zheng was a little curious: "Isn't the matter of the new currency already settled? Why are you still struggling with that matter?"

"Is there any problem?"

Han Tan shook his head: "This point, the servant is not clear."

Although Ying Zheng was curious, he also knew that this was a big deal. Since it was a big deal, it was better not to bother him for the time being. Let's talk about it when Chen Ke is done.

Manufacturing Department
Li Si, Fu Su, and Chen Ke stood in front of the mold, while Lin Fang and Zuo Ge looked helplessly at the coin in front of them.

Chen Ke does have some ideas of his own, which are also aimed at currency, but this idea is indeed a bit difficult for Lin Fang, Zuo Ge and the craftsmen.

But what?
These craftsmen were actually a little moved by Chen Ke's proposal, otherwise they wouldn't have gathered together to think about it now.

When the group of craftsmen were discussing together, Lin Fang turned to look at Chen Ke, and said curiously, "Master, how did you think of this?"

"There hasn't been such a thing since ancient times, right? Whether it's the original Zhou, or the earlier Shang, or Xia, or the previous Six Kingdoms, and the current Great Qin."

"How did you come up with this thing?"
