I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 253 Alone

"Your Majesty misunderstood. The savages I mentioned are not really savages. They are also Daqin people, but they just couldn't survive outside the mountains, so they gave up their citizenship and fled to the mountains to become savages."

As soon as Yun Panpan heard Zhao Xin's question, he immediately knew that he had misunderstood.

He explained: "Actually, the so-called natives were originally ordinary people outside the mountains, but because of various reasons such as war and corvee, they finally hid in the mountains, and finally multiplied, forming the so-called natives today.

However, most of the natives are people from the former dynasty, or even earlier, who entered the mountain.

Today's fugitives are still savages, and they actually live in more embarrassment than the natives, and they are also more unstable.

They are said to be savages, but they are also bandits in many cases. "

Xin Zhao nodded upon hearing this, but his brows could not help but frown.

This kind of thing is actually not new, but for the emperor, there is no way to numb it.

This is not pure humanitarianism of traversers.

But for the emperor of this era, population means taxes, soldiers, and manpower.

And as Yun Panpan said, these people are not just savages, but some of them are also bandits.

They may have been pitiful, but now they are a factor of social instability.

This is the emperor's perspective, cold, even if he loves the people like his son, he loves those people who are beneficial to his rule.

In the eyes of the emperor, whether it is aristocratic families or wild people, they are all disasters.

Now that he suddenly knew that there were still some hidden dangers in his own country that he had ignored before, his expression was of course not very good.

"Are there many of these people in the Great Barren Mountain?"

Xin Zhao asked.

Yun Panpan's answer was very calm, and he said matter-of-factly: "It's okay in the Great Barren Mountain, not too many, because there are native people in the Great Barren Mountain, and it's hard for them to gain a foothold.

However, most of the counties in Bingzhou are poor mountains and remote areas, among which there are probably not a few wild people who have fled. "

But she then added: "However, most of these people were robbed of their land by tyrants, unable to survive outside the mountains, and unwilling to be slaves to tyrants' families, so they fled to the mountains."

"Ah."

Xin Zhao nodded, as expected, the roots were still in the aristocratic family.

Then he asked, "Are there any other states and counties like this?"

Yun Panpan was taken aback for a moment, then hesitantly said: "I don't know about this, but I suspect that there are some, and they are no longer rare."

After a slight pause, he continued: "Before, when my father was still an official in Nanzhou, I also happened to read the old records of the imperial court.

At that time, I found a problem. From the Xuanzong Dynasty to today, although there are occasional natural and man-made disasters, there are not too many major plagues and chaos. However, in the past 50 or [-] years, the population of the world has not increased but decreased. .

I asked my father about this, but was reprimanded by my father for talking too much, saying that this is not something a woman should ask..."

Yun Panpan couldn't help laughing at this point, and then said: "However, I gradually discovered some clues, most of which are naturally because the rich and powerful are hiding their population, and another reason is escaping.

Or the fundamental problem is the loss of fields..."

Yun Panpan talked eloquently, Xin Zhao was just listening with a smile at first, but slowly he became sitting upright.

He suddenly realized that the sheriff he had chosen might really be the right one.

"Your Majesty, I heard from the ancients that those who have no property have no perseverance. Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying something disrespectful. Since then, I have felt that if this problem is not resolved, the world of Great Qin will inevitably fall into chaos."

When Yun Panpan said this, he bowed to Xin Zhao and bowed to ask for forgiveness.

Xin Zhao had completely forgotten the other party's gender at this time, Xin Zhao naturally knew what Yun Panpan said.

But as a person at that time, I was able to see so clearly that gender can no longer limit the brilliance of the other party's talent.

He didn't interrupt her immediately, but just waved his hand to signal her to continue.

Yun Panpan bowed again and said: "I suspect that your Majesty ordered you to be the governor of Dahuang County, and the purpose is to let you be familiar with the interests of all parties in Dahuang County, so as to make all parties harmonious and naturalize the natives.

But my minister bluntly said that if this fundamental problem cannot be solved, I am afraid that the natives will not be naturalized, and the Qin people will also be disordered. "

After finishing speaking, subconsciously looked up at Xin Zhao's expression, and pleaded guilty again.

However, to her surprise, Xin Zhao was not angry because of her outspoken words, nor did she seem surprised by the circumstances of her words.

Immediately, he knew in his heart that this His Majesty might be like a mirror in his heart.

Then think of the opponent who has almost wiped out half of the powerful families in the county in the past few days.

Immediately understand the other party's intentions.

only……

She was pondering, but after hearing Zhao Xin think for a while, she suddenly said: "I suddenly remembered that Yun Aiqing also came from a famous family, your father was once the Prime Minister of Qi County, right?"

Xin Zhao's sudden words stunned Yun Panpan, who didn't know how to answer.

I am clearly analyzing the general situation of the world with the emperor here, but why did the emperor suddenly talk about his life experience.

After a while, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my father is the Prime Minister of the State of Qi. I was deposed a few years ago because of admonishing the King of Qi, Wang Tian, ​​and because of this, I became the saint of the natives of the Great Barren Mountains."

"I see."

Xin Zhao nodded slightly, then seeing her hesitation, he knew that she had misunderstood, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just thought of something suddenly, so I just asked casually."

Seeing her still puzzled after speaking, she smiled and said: "You must have seen what I did in the county these days, Qing Yun must have seen it, I originally planned to help you clean up the Great Wilderness County.

Originally thought that there was no aristocratic family in Dahuang County, and the powerful foundation was not deep, so this matter should not be difficult.

It turns out that the biggest difficulty in this matter is not how strong those powerful families are, but that if I really eliminate them all, there will be no one in this world to use.

And I also discovered that my original intention was originally to be good for those common people, but when I really did this, it was those common people who were most disturbed.

Without those tyrants controlling the village, they seem to be unable to do anything, at a loss as to what to do. "

Xin Zhao thought about these two days, when he saw the people in the county seeing those tyrants who oppressed them being cut off, they didn't applaud, but panicked.

Some people even took the initiative to plead for the lives of those powerful families.

There are also some who are not under the control of those village tyrants, and actually take advantage of the fire to rob.

Xin Zhao was a little confused at that moment.

This is completely different from what he had imagined before, and it is also completely different from the legend in later generations that the local tyrants will divide the fields and then the people will enthusiastically support them.

What's going on here?
Are the people of this world more ignorant and numb?
But he soon understood that this matter was probably because he thought the problem simply.

The success of later generations is due to the fact that the world at that time has undergone decades of changes, and secondly, it is also a powerful force for propaganda and mobilization.

That is the strength of a group of people, and he is only one person.
