Chapter 386 Iron Fist and Righteousness

"Lord Su?"

"What do these experimental fields and degrees of freedom mean?"

"Huh? Why are you still here?"

Su Yao looked up, looking surprised.

All the tasks have been issued, but instead of going to work, you're still staring at me. What are you doing?
"Is there anything else?"

"."

The three of them looked at each other. It turned out that they had just discussed for a long time, but Lord Su didn't listen to a word.

Gongsun Zan and others held their foreheads in silence.

Although they gradually got used to the fact that this prince would suddenly wander off into space without them noticing.

But the way they completely ignored them talking to themselves was still a bit worrying.

It is hard to describe the weirdness of this prince.

Is he mentally okay?
But they didn't dare to ask this.

As expected, strange people often do strange things. Compared with Lord Su's extraordinary appearance on the battlefield, his strange behavior is nothing surprising.

Qian Zhao coughed, cleared his throat, and said:

"Everyone strongly supports your immigration policy."

"But it's still a big deal. It's the middle of winter now, and it takes a lot of time to prepare for the migration."

"But we must work harder and try to catch up with the spring planting season, so that the pressure in the first year will be much less."

"But the biggest problem is that this is a long-term project and may not be of much help to the current situation."

"Although the leaders of the surrendered Wuhuan settlements outside the city appear to be submissive, they actually have their own agenda."

"I'm afraid they will become an unstable factor after we leave."

Su Yao looked at Qian Zhao, nodded and asked:

"Brother Zijing is right, but since you asked this question, I guess you have a strategy?"

After having been in contact with Qian Zhao for some time, Su Yao had a basic understanding of him.

This good brother of Liu Bei has a pretty good intelligence attribute.

And basically no nonsense.

Since he pointed out the problem, he must have some ideas in mind.

Su Yao naturally knew that immigrating to the border and changing the local population structure was the best option for long-term stability.

However, in the short term, local instability factors still exist.

Just by taking a look at those surrendered leaders who were standing far away in the outer circle, carefully watching the situation here, Su Yao could see their extremely low loyalty and favorability.

These people surrendered only because of the circumstances.

But Su Yao didn't want to trap himself here. In order to solve this problem, he needed some more specific plans.

This is the time for counselors to take action.

Otherwise, if he has to do everything, wouldn't he be exhausted?

This move obviously has an idea:
"Since ancient times, the only way to deal with mobs and rebellions is to suppress and appease them."

"I just wonder if you want to continue to suppress with an iron fist, or practice the way of benevolence and righteousness?"

After hearing his words, Su Yao chuckled:
"Iron fist and benevolence? Zi Jing used this description. It seems your inclination is obvious."

Qian Zhao didn't even blush when Su Yao pointed it out. However, before he could say anything, Lu Bu interrupted him and said:

"How can we talk about humanity and justice when dealing with jackals?"

"You, the official, also said that they all had their own agenda."

After that, Lu Bu clasped his fists towards Su Yao and said:

"In my opinion, why don't we just do what we did in the past and find an opportunity to force them to rebel, and then catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Gongsun Zan also expressed his agreement with Lu Bu's suggestion:

"Didn't the prince promise to reward land to those who defected and made contributions?" "We can use the land distribution to intensify their conflict."

"After forcing them to rebel, we will kill them as a warning to others, and we can also take back the land along with them."

"Killing multiple birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful?"

"."

Su Yao was quite impressed by Gongsun Zan's smooth and flowing Glamorgan technique.

But he doesn't want to do that now.

Because for the areas outside the Great Wall, population is a very valuable resource.

Moreover, such treatment of those who voluntarily surrender will bring little benefit other than completely discrediting themselves.

I think if Liu Bei and Zhao Yun were here, they would probably turn green in the face when they heard what Gongsun Zan did.

So, Su Yao shook his head:
“These people should serve as a role model.”

"We must let people know that stubborn resistance is a dead end."

“We must also let people know that if those who surrender are sincere and loyal, they will be treated well and reused.”

Su Yao glanced at everyone and said firmly:

"I, Su Yao, have no other wish in this life, but to cleanse the four directions and restore peace to the world."

"To achieve this, in addition to killing, what is more necessary is to appease the people."

“An iron fist and benevolence can coexist. The key lies in how to use them.”

As he spoke, Su Yao's thoughts gradually opened up, and he talked eloquently:
"The Master said: Those who have constant wealth have constant hearts."

“Distribution is the fundamental solution to all conflicts!”

"Immigration to the border is one thing, and we want to stabilize the situation in Pinggang as soon as possible and deter potential enemies with ill intentions."

"What is more important is to redistribute the land and wealth here, restore order, and make sure everyone can live a good life with hope."

"In this way, naturally no one will be willing to risk their lives to rebel."

Su Yao also knew that not all of these Wuhuan people were enemies.

Even if we put aside the reality that they have long been subservient to the Han Dynasty.

This time, after hearing his ultimatum, many tribes turned against their allies.

It was precisely for this reason that Su Yao could ignore the logistical issues and launch a rapid attack to defeat Ping Gang in one fell swoop.

After uprooting those stubborn elements and the forces of the tribes directly under Qiuliju and clearing them out of Pinggang, Su Yao obviously had to adopt another way to govern the ordinary Wuhuan people and those cooperative tribes.

If you want to go further and more steadily, you must surround yourself with more and more friends and partners.

Of course, these Wuhuan people cannot be treated as disposable items. They must be allowed to play a greater role.

After Su Yao expressed his intention, Qian Zhao was convinced and praised:

"Your Excellency has a far-sighted vision, which is a blessing to the people and a blessing to Youzhou."

"Since ancient times, those who are good at employing people must follow the will of heaven and the people and clearly reward and punish."

"If you redistribute and clearly reward and punish, it will not only benefit those who surrender, but also deter those who have evil intentions."

"In this way, not only can the border be stabilized, but also the people's hearts can be won, laying the foundation for long-term stability in the future."

"To be able to serve you like a dog or a horse is the greatest blessing in life."

Su Yao felt relieved when he heard this and tried hard to control his facial expression.

Don’t say it, really don’t say it.

This intellectually gifted person always quotes classics when he flatters others.

It’s different from those who just applaud or say the same thing.

"Don't just say nice things, clerk."

Lu Bu said anxiously:
"How do you practice your benevolence and righteousness? Tell me quickly and quickly."
