"When there are more herdsmen who have surrendered, how to manage them will be a problem."

Zhu Xuan said again.

Jing Qing knew that this was a test for himself, so he asked this question deliberately, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "How to govern really needs to be carefully considered, but General Ping's method is still more effective, and His Highness can continue to use it."

The management measures developed by Ping An are really useful.

Use heavy regulations to suppress their restless hearts, then use military force to suppress them, and provide some profit inducements, so that the herdsmen can stay safely.

Now that Zhu Xuan has come, he has also brought a recruitment revelation, offering high wages and asking the young and middle-aged people who have submitted to help the Ming Dynasty to build infrastructure. He separates the people and goes to other places to hone their skills for a few years to round out their edges and corners.

"Anything else?"

Zhu Xuan nodded.

"The herdsmen moved south to surrender for two reasons. One is that they see no hope in the grasslands and may be exploited."

"The second is that we can provide high enough interest inducements."

"I think we can start from these aspects."

Jingqing actually couldn't give much good advice.

All that can be said now is safe and ready.

Ping An basically does the same thing.

Beyond this scope, it's really hard for Jing Qing to say. After all, he has very little exposure to this aspect and has never dealt with related matters personally.

"It seems that Ping An's approach is indeed good!"

Zhu Xuan said with admiration.

Jing Qing echoed: "General Ping is the person arranged by His Highness. He started from scratch and slowly started to explore. Naturally, he has much more experience than I have."

"All right!"

"Go and have a chat with Ping An and continue to improve it."

"If a large number of herdsmen come to seek refuge, how to deal with it is also an important matter."

"Just be more prepared."

Zhu Xuan nodded.

"Yes!"

Jing Qing said loudly.

Next, he had to find Ping An to study.

The next day, early in the morning.

Not long after Zhu Xuan got up, he was about to walk around the city, but Yan Guan came over and said that another herdsman had come to surrender, and Ping'an and Jingqing were already receiving them.

Hearing that another herdsman was coming, Zhu Xuan still had to go take a look.

The herdsmen who came to surrender brought their families and their sheep with them. When they came to Guishun, they could not help but marvel and envy the excitement and prosperity here. Then they saw other herdsmen living a prosperous life here. , thinking that this is the right place to come. The people of Ming Dynasty treat them better than the officials in their grasslands.

They decided to stay and become naturalized.

The naturalized people gradually started to get busy, especially Ping An and Jingqing.

Zhu Xuan also helped them do something and discussed how to do it, which relieved a lot of their pressure.

The progress of the plan was initially smooth.

and Lin.

Han Jun got another piece of news and immediately sent Yao Guangxiao to ask for advice.

This news is divided into two parts.

One is the two brothers Zhu Gaoxu, who brought hundreds of cavalry and advanced weapons across the grasslands and beat many of their small number of soldiers who went to recruit troops and food.

This small group of soldiers is not very numerous.

The few are one or two hundred, and the many are only five or six hundred.

Precisely because there were so few, Zhu Gaoxu was able to fight so readily, but the puppet military had nothing to do with them. Their whereabouts were erratic and they had no fixed target, so even if they wanted to catch them, it would be difficult. The second thing is that during the conscription of troops and grain, some pseudo-Ming soldiers were very restless and demanded benefits by force, and robbed the herdsmen of their cattle, sheep, and grain, which far exceeded their requisition standards and caused dissatisfaction among the herdsmen.

Once they are unhappy, they will not continue to stay in the grassland, but will find another way out.

He actually went to naturalize!

Naturalization was something that Zhu Yuanzhang and his grandson worked hard on. The people on their grasslands were inherently at odds with Zhu Yuanzhang, but those herdsmen were still able to become naturalized and join him!
This made Han Jun confused and felt it was impossible.

"Master Daoyan, what do you think?"

Han Jun said helplessly.

Yao Guangxiao looked at the newly returned information, considered it carefully for a long time, and sighed: "This is not good!"

"Master, what's wrong?"

Han Jun couldn't see any problem yet, so he had to wait for Yao Guangxiao's answer.

Yao Guangxiao said: "I have already said that what Zhu Yunxuan did was probably to make things mysterious. At that time, I couldn't guess what he was thinking. Now I can almost guess."

Han Jun suddenly felt nervous and asked, "What does Zhu Yunxuan want to do?"

"population!"

Yao Guangxiao stood up, put his hands on his back, turned his back to Han Jun, and looked out of the house with an enigmatic look: "The most important thing for the development of a country is its population. If the Ming Dynasty of King Ming does not have enough population, sooner or later it will not be able to support it. If it fails to develop, it will get into a lot of trouble.”

Of course Han Jun knew this. After listening to these words and recalling what happened recently, he finally understood and said: "Master, are you saying that Zhu Yunxuan wants to take away all the population of our grassland?"

Yao Guangxiao nodded and said: "It's very possible, that's the case! He must have calculated correctly. When we are on the way to recruit troops, the people below will do something. King Ming should know that most of the herdsmen who betrayed and went south were exploited by the recruiters, right? If they stay on the grassland, they can’t even protect their own interests, so what do they do here?”

Stay and have nothing.

Escape, maybe there's still a chance.

If that's the case, why don't you run away?

Leaving the grassland, there is still plenty of shelter.

Han Jun trembled slightly, and he could understand why Yao Guangxiao said this.

"What Zhu Yunxuan did was to reduce the population of King Ming so as to increase his population." Yao Guangxiao added.

"But, there's something I don't understand."

Han Jun listened and said: "Zhu Yunxuan took us grassland herdsmen away, isn't he afraid of any unrest? Aren't he afraid that someone will disobey discipline?"

Yao Guangxiao laughed and said: "As long as there is enough profit temptation, a lot of things can be done. Do you think there are so many herdsmen in Guihua City, can they cause chaos? Maybe, but not many, they can be suppressed easily."

"This is the power of Zhu Yunxuan, and of course the power of Ping An."

he said with admiration.

Han Jun became even more worried and gritted his teeth and said: "The people below really deserve to die! I asked them to recruit troops and collect food, but I didn't let them exploit the herdsmen."

After being so tortured by those people, they may have been overthrown by the herdsmen inside before the Ming army came in.

"The order goes down and all soldiers must not exceed the standard range for conscription and food requisition."

"Whoever dares to do this, I will kill first!"

Han Jun said through gritted teeth.

Although it is said that it is too late to remedy the situation, it is not too late.

If you start now, there is still a chance.

"Master, I'm under a lot of pressure!"

Han Jun said again.

Yao Guangxiao said calmly: "Which of us is not under great pressure?"

Everyone’s is big!

Especially when it comes to these things, if you don't handle them well, you will lose everything.

"King Ming."

At this time, a man from the White Lotus Sect hurriedly walked in and said: "The envoy from Wala is here to ask for an audience with King Ming." (End of this chapter)
