Chapter 1143(1/2)

When Huan Wen heard the idea, he disagreed.

"Your idea is really reckless. Killing a chicken to get eggs is not worth the cost!"

After hearing this, the subordinate was very puzzled.

"The emperor personally named me the first vassal of the Southern and Central and Foreign vassals. Do you know why?" Huan Wen did not answer, but wanted his subordinates to ask.

Everyone was puzzled.

Except for some of their original beggars and refugees, most of them were the Baipu, a illiterate and crude man who could not be illiterate. How could they know the emperor's thoughts?

Huan Wen also knew that most of them didn't understand, so he explained directly.

"The emperor personally named me a vassal of the Southern and Central China, in order to follow the strategy of Emperor Zhou's enfeoffment in the world."

"At that time, the Emperor Zhou emperor only occupied Xiqi and was prosperous. If he wanted to consolidate the world, he had to enfeoff the people he trusted most to various places to protect the emperor of the capital."

Even though Huan Wen said so clearly, some subordinates still struggled to understand.

When Huan Wen saw it, he avoided this kind of explanation and said directly.

"To put it bluntly, the emperor asked us to be independent from Nanzhong and became a vassal state, which was to let us protect the Nanzhong Protectorate, and even protect the Central Plains of Liangzhou. This was the strategy of Xiajun and the people used by the Emperor Zhou to enthrone the world."

"King, what are Xiajun Yimin?" asked a general.

"Xia lords and the people of the Yi people, that is, among the people of Funan, all of us want to become Xia lords, and those local people of Funan, Hujie people, Wusun, etc., are all people of the Yi people."

"The number of these barbarians is almost ten times that of ours, or even dozens of times that of ours. If we want to firmly hold this country's king and prince, we must follow my methods!"

"Turn some of the barbarians into our faithful hawks and dogs, and use them to monitor and rule the rest of the local barbarians."

"Those who can farm and herdsman craftsmen are the people we attach the most importance to. People here in Funan are used to doing business, and farmers and herdsmen have always had no status. When we promote them as scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, we must be our loyal hawks."

"And those Funan merchants are tools we use to make money from all directions. They can pay heavy taxes on them, but they can definitely be beheaded and looted them at any time."

Huan Wen talked endlessly and expressed his entire set of ideas on governing the country.

After listening to it, everyone fell into great shock.

These people were originally refugee herdsmen or horse thieves, so they never thought about governing the country.

Now after hearing Huan Wen's words, he suddenly became enlightened.

"It's so great. If we follow what the king said, then in Funan in the future, wouldn't we just sit and be the master? No matter what food, livestock, or what money and jewelry it is, we can deliver it to our door by ourselves?"

Some ministers immediately fell into their imagination of a bright future.

Although they are all used to killing people all day long, there is nothing they can do about it.

If you can be carefree every day, you can be rich and well-behaved, no one is willing to work hard.

"This is just the beginning, let's start with this Angkor Thom."

Huan Wen then arranged the task of reorganizing the people of Angkor Town.

According to his plan, the first step was to turn the part of Funan people who were most loyal to him into "city people", and then gradually implement assimilation.

The next step is to place the businessman who was originally the highest-ranking businessman in Funan into such seats.

Huan Wen was not worried about the threats these Funan merchants would be.

The tens of thousands of grassland cavalry in his own hands may not be good at governing the country and ensuring the people, but plundering and killing people is the most proficient in everything.

The Funan people, who have declined to the point of being everywhere in the city-state, cannot have the strength to resist themselves.

All changes did not take too long.

Soon, the entire Funan people near Angkor Thom discovered that the entire world had undergone a major change.

The merchants who were originally operating in the city were driven outside the city, and the small Angkor City was filled with the Eastern "Hans" who rushed in.

In addition to these "Han people", the Funan people who can gain the right to continue living in the city are some farmers and craftsmen.

In fact, the so-called "farmers" here are not very accurate.

Because since ancient times, mud legs that farmed in the land have never been able to live in the city.

The ‘farmers’ in Angkor Town are actually some of the big landlords who own farmland and pastures in the local area.

According to Angkor Thom's latest statement, the ranking of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce determines their title of "agricultural".

"King, everything big and small in the city has been arranged!"

As soon as several popular generals saw Huan Wen, they immediately reported it.

Huan Wen looked at his subordinates with satisfaction.

These people who were originally poor on the grassland have now thrown away their worn-out battle robes and fur coats, and they have all replaced them with gorgeous clothes with gold and silver.

Many of the clothes are clothing with strong Funan characteristics, and you can tell at first glance how they got them.

"The various divisions have already divided the areas in the city, but Angkor Thom is too small, and half of the people can only be stationed outside the city."

Huan Wen did not feel anything wrong when he heard this.

If all the troops gathered in the city, not to mention whether they could be installed, it would be equivalent to abandoning the defense outside the city.

You know, now they only occupy the vicinity of Angkor Thom, and there are countless hostile Funan towns or tribes around them.

"This is done well. We just need to win over farmers and craftsmen, and we have the capital to consolidate Angkor Thom."

Huan Wen first praised several subordinates who were capable of doing things.

Then he closed his face and said with a serious expression.

"There is another thing, which is an extremely important thing. You must do it immediately after hearing it, and there must be no delay."

When everyone heard this, they immediately smiled and patted their chests.

They thought it was something that bullied Funan people.

These days, they have made a lot of money by relying on this path.

"We are here in Angkor Thom now, but we must always remember your identities."

"You are no longer herders on the grassland, nor are you from any tribe of Baipu, nor are you Qiang people, but Han people."

"This Han people naturally have to look like a Han people. Clothing etiquette is the most important thing. You are not allowed to wear these Southern Middle School clothes."

"We must also go back to restrain your tribes. Everyone has only one identity, that is, Han people! Starting from clothing, we must let those Funan people understand that we are all Han people, the best of them."

"We are here to rule them, not to be assimilated by them. Only the Funan people change to wear Han clothes and practice Han customs, and there is no custom of the Han people following the Southern Barbarians!"

"So from now on, when we are here in Angkor Thom, we must always keep in mind the great defense of the barbarians and Xia!"

Huan Wen has been growing up with Liu Yu's side since he was a teenager.

Under the influence of the eyes, the original appearance of a noble and powerful warrior actually has the understanding of a cultural person.

The words he said unconsciously made a group of subordinates confused again.

"King, what is the great defense of the Yi Xia?"

"I'm so stupid. Didn't the king just now say that we just want us to remember that we are Han people, different from those Funan people. We can't let them win us over, but we can win them over to us."

A general with a cunning look said with a smile, and then he asked Huan Wen again.

"Master, are I right?"

Huan Wen nodded with great satisfaction and then praised.

"I'm so right, that's what I mean!"

"From now on, all of you will no longer be Baipu, nor are you Qiang people or Huntao Suoto. All of you are Han people, and even your previous identities are not allowed to be mentioned again."

"We must let these Funan people know that the people who ruled them were Han people of the same language and race as the Han Nanzhong Protectorate. Even if there are ambitious people in the country in the future, they will be afraid of the neighboring Nanzhong Protectorate and dare not act rashly."

When everyone heard this, they immediately realized it.

It turned out that Huan Wen had such long-term plans for this idea.

This is not only for their own rule, but also for future generations to plan ahead.

After all, no one can guarantee that their descendants will be as brave as them.

If there is no transcendent force and no advantage in numbers, then the only thing they "new Han people" can count on is the identity of "Han people" and the Nanzhong Protectorate behind it.

"The king is indeed as wise as a god. I can think about it for such a long time. I admire him. As long as the king gives us the order, we can do whatever we want. If anyone dares to have something to say, I will deal with him for the king!"

The general just now immediately looked loyal.

Although these nomadic leaders on the grassland are basically rough and rude, they are all non-slow-minded people who are obsessed with words and expressions, and they immediately understand Huan Wen's intention.

"Ao, well,,,"

This kind of flattery behavior is very helpful to the young and energetic Huan Wen.

He was about to praise Ailao's loyalty, but just now the words came out, and suddenly he remembered something again.

"Master, what are your instructions?"

Ailao Amu smiled honestly and flatteringly, and an ugly face full of fine scars was actually a bit silly and cute.

The other generals did not feel that there was anything wrong with Ailao's shameless behavior of pleasing.
