Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 481
Chapter 485

A herd of tigers led by a sheep cannot even beat a herd of sheep led by a lion.This is the role of the leader.Ran Ming believed that Ran Min would never remain indifferent when Qingzhou was attacked.

Although Ran Min didn't have a ready-made army in his hand at this time, Ran Ming believed it.

Ran Min has the power to turn decay into magic.Even a group of untrained farmers can turn into a fierce army under the leadership of Ran Min, and naturally they can take down Zhuge You without any effort.

With the demise of the Yan State, all the tribes that originally surrendered to the Murong tribe of the Yan State sent people to Lulong to express to Ran Ming that they were willing to surrender to the Wei State.

"Go out of Lulongsai in the east, and look at Shanyutai in the north. The wind connects the desert, and the Han army is coming thousands of miles away. Hu'er's morale is great with galloping horses. Don't hesitate to defeat the enemy, don't wait for the frost and snow to be white!" This poem Ran Ming did not I don't know who made it, but it feels very appropriate to put it here.

Ran Ming blurted out this poem, and Murong Ke who was following him quickly flattered him, "The king of Jiaodong is really a genius in the world. He can govern the country with literature, and he can rule the country with martial arts. Even writing poems is majestic!"

Seeing that Murong Ke was going to steal their limelight, the leaders of these ministries who had just surrendered to Wei State quit. They used to surrender to Yan State, so they couldn't look at Murong Ke's face and smile. Now Murong Ke is a downcast phoenix not as good as a chicken. The Regent of Yan State, as a captive of Wei State, he does not even have the freedom of these small tribal leaders.These tribal leaders who understand Chinese praised Ran Ming for being extraordinary, and those who did not understand Chinese let the tongue speakers (translators) express their meaning.

However, the leaders of these ethnic minorities really lacked language, so they repeated a few words, "Okay, very good, very good!"

Don't say that Ran Ming plagiarized the classics of later generations, even if he got a piece of shit, it can be blown like a flower by these people.Ran Ming's originally very good mood was ruined by these flies.

Although the entire country of Yan has surrendered now, Ran Ming did not take it lightly. Ran Ming knew about the fertile land in the Northeast and knew that the Northeast is rich in mineral resources. In terms of utilization, it has become the cornerstone of the rise of nomadic peoples from generation to generation. "If you don't take it from the sky, you will suffer from it!" It deserves that Middle-earth has been invaded by generations of foreigners.Instead, a clearer thought appeared in Ran Ming's head, "Develop Youzhou and stabilize Wei State's rule in Youzhou!"

However, Ran Ming didn't get overwhelmed and just do what he said.The population problem is the biggest bottleneck restricting the development of the Wei Kingdom. Now even Jizhou and the Central Plains, where the climate is relatively mild and more fertile, there are still a lot of fertile land that is barren. How can there be any thought to develop here?But if you leave Youju alone, it will be cheaper for Daiguk, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Buyeo.

This is a very troublesome problem for Ran Ming. Although there is no way to develop it for the time being, it is a habit that Ran Ming has developed for a long time to be prepared for danger in times of peace. He will not wait until the day when the problem breaks out to deal with it.

The biggest problem facing Ran Ming now is the small population of the Han people, and the various ethnic groups in Liaodong live together in a mixed, canine-toothed manner, with very complicated forces.Originally, Ran Ming wanted to wipe out the Xianbei people, but if the Wei State wanted to unify the world, it would not be able to carry out large-scale massacres. Doing so would only intensify ethnic conflicts, and would not be conducive to the rule of the Wei State.

At this time, the captives surrendered by the Yan army, Ran Ming did not let them eat free food.In the current Lulong, Ran Ming has carried out a large-scale expansion. Originally, there was one master and two sub-city fortresses in the shape of Yipin, but Ran Ming opened up and connected them together.The overall city wall of Lulong has also been heightened and reinforced, and densely packed arrow towers (like gun towers) have been set up farther away.Of course, those responsible for the construction of these military facilities are all prisoners temporarily placed in Lulong.

Originally, Wang Meng did not agree with Ran Ming to use the captives to build the city wall. Wang Meng was afraid that the high-intensity labor would make the captives who had been sloppy used to rebel.But Ran Ming did this, which surprised Wang Meng. These prisoners not only did not have any complaints, but were very enthusiastic about their work.

Wang Meng asked strangely: "Your Highness, how did you do it?"

"It's very simple!" Ran Ming said with a smile: "Gu just told them that we Dawei don't support idlers. If we want to eat, we must work. If we want to eat well and eat well, we must work and do more than others." Live! Most of these captives are actually poor people. Don’t look at them burning, killing, and looting. It is the private property of their tribal leaders, and they have no power at all!"

It was only then that Wang Meng suddenly realized that the Qing Dynasty adopted the same semi-slave and semi-feudal system in the Yan Kingdom. All the people in the country were the emperor's private property. The emperor was the biggest slave owner, and the nobles were small slave owners. slave.

Wang Meng said: "Didn't your Highness suffer from not being able to find a solution to the Liaodong problem?"

"What's your opinion, sir?"

"There is no good plan!" Wang Meng shook his head and said, "These measures are all being worked out by His Highness. Our Great Wei has three classes of civil registration, the Han nationality is the most respected, the next is the naturalized nationality, and the last is the barbarian nationality. Barbarians are not allowed to join the army, not to be officials, and have almost no power. Your Highness can formulate a set of flexible policies suitable for Liaodong, and stipulate that these non-Han barbarians, if they work hard for our Great Wei for five years, can be transferred to Naturalized nationality, although naturalized nationality is not Chinese, but they are already free. They can not only own their own property, but also join the army and enjoy certain treatment. If they have been naturalized for five years, they will be You can enter the Han nationality!"

Ran Ming interrupted: "Jing Lue means that we don't determine household registration by blood?"

Wang Meng said: "Of course, as Your Majesty has said before, those who agree with the officials will stay, and those who disagree will be left alone. The third-class household registration of our Great Wei is not static, but has a certain degree of flexibility. Even if you are Han, what can you do? As long as They dare to abolish the government for private reasons, collude with foreign thieves, and betray Wei, not only can they get rid of their Han nationality, but they can also be classified as naturalized or barbarian!"

Ran Ming knew that the Wei State was very short of population. If the Xianbei Murong tribe and other tribes could be assimilated, the population would increase by tens of millions.Ethnicity is actually a virtual thing. As long as there are common values, even people with different skin colors and races can think about the same thing and work together.

Just like the United States in later generations, the United States is a country of immigrants, and there is no concept of democratization, but Americans are still the boss of the world.It is undeniable that they have the same goal in terms of national interests!
Wang Meng continued: "For these captives, there are also the Yuwenbu, Duanbu, Goguryeo, Fuyu and other ministries of the Xianbei tribe who surrendered at the same time. They will be treated equally, and they will be loyal to the Great Wei. They will be transferred to the country after ten years. Become a Han nationality, allow them to move inland, and give them land and let them settle down!"

What Wang Meng meant was not to intensify ethnic conflicts, but to appease and induce interests.In later generations, why do Chinese people like to emigrate overseas?The main reason is that overseas has the kind of interests they want.

Now it is no different from the later generations. In that era, people worshiped foreigners and fawned on foreigners, but now it is just the opposite. Hu people all worship China and fawn on Han.

Ran Ming said: "Yan Kingdom is dead, Gu Gu will receive the imperial decree soon, and Gu will return to Yecheng together with Mr. I am afraid that the three states of Youzhou, Yingzhou and Pingzhou will not be peaceful!"

"What's so difficult about this?" Wang Meng said: "Your Highness can take precautions against the northern barrier. I have written to Your Majesty, suggesting that Xu Yuan be removed from the post of Lieutenant of Zhongba, and that he should be conscripted as General of the North. General, Inspector of Yingzhou, stationed in Longcheng. General Ran Feng Jiafu Army, Inspector of Pingzhou!"

Yingzhou is the history department established by Yan State, mainly including Longcheng, Daling River, Xiaoling River, Liugu River Basin, Xuantu County, Changli County, and Pingzhou is the territory of Liaodong, Lelang, Goguryeo, Fuyu and other regions. Most of the northern part of the Korean peninsula.

Ran Ming immediately swiped the brush and splashed ink, and when Ran Ming picked up the pen and wanted to write a memorial, he suddenly felt a chill down his back.

"Be careful!" Ran Ming said and pushed Wang Meng down.

With a sound of "Zheng", a short arrow shot into the roof beams of the house.

At this time, Wang Meng found something abnormal, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Ran Ming immediately shouted: "There are assassins here!"

"Your Highness, the person who came here may not have any malicious intentions!" Wang Meng's eyes were sharp, and he could see at a glance that there was an arrow book wrapped on the short arrow.Wang Meng opened the arrow book and read, "It's urgent, I have something important to discuss, please meet me at the Qinglong River ferry outside the city at midnight tonight!"

Ran Ming took the arrow book and said to himself, "Who is this?"

"Your Highness, the humble rank is incompetent!" Xue Tao said with shame on his face: "The humble rank has searched the surrounding area for several miles, and no suspicious person has been found!"

Facing Ran Ming's "assassination" indoors, Xue Tao was frightened out of his wits.Although there was no danger this time, it made Xue Tao feel ashamed.

Ran Ming waved his hand, signaling Xue Tao to retreat.He also felt that the other party should have no malice.At that time, Ran Ming heard the sound of arrows piercing through the air, and then he realized that if the other party really wanted to kill him, Ran Ming, who was dressed in casual clothes inside the house, might encounter something unexpected.

Ran Ming said thoughtfully, "What do you think, Mister?"

Wang Meng murmured, "Meng also can't guess who is so boring and playing such childish tricks!"

"Actually, Gu can also see that the other party has no malicious intentions. If they really want Gu's life, Gu can't escape at that time!" Ran Ming said: "Go and see, don't you know who it is and why?"

Qinglong River, also known as Gulushui, is a tributary of Luan River.Although Ran Ming also knew that the other party might not be hostile, Xue Tao did not dare to be careless.The Qilin Guard almost searched the entire ten miles of Qinglong River Crossing, and found that there was no accident, so he agreed to Ran Ming to go out.
