In the wilderness, a group of sheep can be seen moving slowly.

This is the most fertile season in the north.

The warehouses are full of grain, and the cattle and sheep are in droves.

When the shepherd saw the army, he saluted from a distance and shouted: "The king is mighty!"

He Lianrong smiled and said: "The hearts of the people are with the Duke!"

Yang Xuan waved his hand.

Over there, the herdsmen did not expect to get Yang Xuan's response and jumped up excitedly.

"At this moment, I somewhat understand what Haigangfeng meant."

Yang Xuan suddenly thought of the Ming Dynasty in another world, and of Hai Rui and Hai Gangfeng who were criticized as cruel officials.

When Hai Rui takes office in a local area, he will first clear up past cases. In any case between local powerful people and the people, he will always judge the people to be right.

Some people say that Hai Rui is trying to gain fame.

Some people say that Hai Rui hates evil as much as he hates it.

Some people say that Hai Rui is a rich man.

But what is a local power?

cancer!

They plundered, annexed land, recruited people, evaded taxes, colluded with the government, and exploited the

The more powerful and wealthy the local people are, the harder it will be for the local people.

What to do in such a situation?

Suppress the powerful!

This is Hai Rui's method.

Regardless of right or wrong, press on!

Get rid of their arrogance and arrogance that says, ‘I am the local emperor!

Only in this way can we govern calmly.

Only in this way can we gather the hearts of the people.

Yang Xuan was suddenly startled.

“Is local power a good thing or a bad thing?”

He asked the question.

He Lianrong said: "It does more harm than good."

Four words, very insightful.

"So, what is their reason for existing?"

Yang Xuan likes to discuss social issues such as this with his subordinates. In the divergence of his thinking, he can often find inspiration and find ways to solve the current situation.

He Lianrong thought for a while, "Just because they have power and money."

In a social atmosphere that suppresses business and suppresses businessmen, most of the local tycoons are composed of officials and aristocratic families.

Does the official's family or the local magistrate have to give some face to annex the land? It's okay, let's give him a favor. Next time we ask him for something, can he just sit back and watch?

The key point is that after this trend is formed, if an official provides convenience to others, others will also facilitate his family.

They worked together and turned Datang into their business place.

"Power has become a tool of transaction, a means of making profits for oneself!"

Yang Xuan squinted his eyes, and He Lianrong's heart trembled. Is the Duke thinking about the administration of officials?

No one has ever attached as much importance to officialdom as Yang Xuan. Since he took office, hundreds of officials have been captured in northern Xinjiang.

After Luo Cai took office, he received unprecedented support. He often lamented that if Chang'an could support the official department in this way, why would the official administration of the Tang Dynasty be like this?

Yang Xuan was thinking about the official administration, but not in Northern Xinjiang, but in the Tang Dynasty.

The officialdom of the Tang Dynasty was obviously corrupt.

The south is not yet clear, but the north has already become the hardest hit area.

Tens of thousands of refugees are born in the North every year. At first, the refugees fled all over the world. Later, Northern Xinjiang extended a helping hand to accept the refugees. This has become a routine. Every year after the beginning of spring, the refugees from the North consciously go to Northern Xinjiang.

There is money and food in Northern Xinjiang.

The key is that Northern Xinjiang has prepared fields and houses for them, allowing them to start over again far away from home.

Therefore, when it comes to loyalty in northern Xinjiang, those immigrants come first.

In the evening, they camped in the wild.

After eating, Yang Xuan took a slow walk in the camp.

"My lord, this is..."

The old thief came back with a sentry and found that Yang Xuan seemed to have encountered a problem.

Wang Laoer had eaten and drank enough and said, "The Duke is probably thinking about official business."

"Second brother, go ask." The old thief encouraged.

"Okay!" Wang Laoer didn't care.

"The Duke."

Yang Xuan raised his head and said, "Second brother!"

"What does the Duke want?" Wang Laoer asked.

If others ask, they will most likely be put off.

"I'm thinking about how to suppress the increasing momentum of powerful people. But after thinking about it, even if I turn all the local powerful people in the Tang Dynasty into ordinary people, ten years later, twenty years later, the families of current officials will

It will still rise again in the local area and become a new power."

Just like Wang Laoer, in ten or twenty years, his children and grandchildren will become powerful in the local area. Generation after generation, they will become blood-sucking moths lying on the local body.

But can you deal with the diligent Wang Laoer now?

cannot!

Can you castrate him now?

cannot!

Then, local powerful people will still spring up like mushrooms after a rain.

"Hasn't the Duke suppressed the mighty powers of Northern Xinjiang now?"

Wang Laoer said.

"But they will still appear after ten or twenty years." Yang Xuan felt that this was a cycle.

"But ten or twenty years from now, the new emperor will continue to suppress them!"

"But what if the emperor is stupid, or the tycoon is powerful?" Yang Xuan was suddenly startled, thinking that he had eaten too much, and he actually discussed this situation with his second brother.

Wang Laoer scratched his head, "Then the next emperor is incompetent, so he deserves to die!"

Yang Xuan: "."

yes!

If local tyrants rise again in the future and become a cancer for the Tang Dynasty, that will not be their problem.

That’s a problem in Te Niang’s court!

"It's like bugs in the field. A hard-working farmer will kill them or drive them away. The farmer's son is lazy, so the bugs overrun. He deserves it!"

Wang Laoer felt that the Duke was really well fed.

yes!

That's not the bug's fault, it's the farmer's fault.

Yang Xuan felt his heart suddenly light up and asked with a straight face:

"Second brother, when can we have children?"

Wang Laoer immediately ran away.

He Lianrong came over and Yang Xuan told Wang Laoer his opinion.

"Tsk!" He Lianrong was amazed, "Are you so sharp?"

Tu Shang coughed dryly and said, "My lord, it's not that my second brother is sharp, it's just that he thinks straightforwardly."

Straightforward, no need to beat around the bush.

Go straight to the goal!
