Wang Ben was slightly silent, the fishing rod in his hand floating unsteadily.

"Feng Chang should be able to do it. I have heard some news before that Feng Chang is not prepared to leave anything to his descendants."

"What Fengchang hates the most is probably the kind of people who rely on their parents to do whatever they want."

"So, Feng Chang's determination to change this tradition must be firm, but..."

Wang Ben stopped talking before he finished what he said, and Li Xin also sighed. Both of them knew what it meant.

Although Chen Ke wants to change and has the ability to insist on change, the problem is that there are many people hidden in Da Qin who do not want such change.

The road ahead is very long.

At this time, circles of ripples rippled on the lake, and a fish swam in the lake. The next moment, Wang Ben suddenly lifted the fishing rod in his hand.

A fish was hanging on the hook. Wang Ben pointed at the fish and said: "Look, the fish is hooked."

Beihai Prefecture, Wangdu County, Qingcao County

The eyes of the Guizhou leaders in the audience were numb and tired. They stood on the grassland and looked at the people standing in front of them on the grassland.

It's just another person oppressing them.

They never had hope in these people.

The man standing on the stage looked at the numbness in the eyes of these Guizhou leaders and sighed in his heart. In fact, he could understand the mood of these people.

On the grassland, these may not be called "people".

Slavery has not yet been abolished in the grasslands and some places in the Western Regions, and their countries are still slave countries.

It is different from today’s Daqin.

Da Qin no longer has "slaves", but of course there are still "servants" and "servants". These are two different things.

Although the Khans in the Xiongnu grasslands called themselves "Khans" and "Wolf Kings", they were not so-called "kings", but "slave owners", or at most larger slave owners.

These slaves who are attached to the tribe may not be as important as a cow in their eyes.

Meng Wendong looked at the insensitive group and knew what he needed to do first.

"This place is already the territory of Great Qin, and you are also citizens of Great Qin."

Meng Wendong's voice was cold and serious, and the first sentence determined the nature of the matter.

He did not establish his dignity, nor did he declare his status as a high official.

The first thing Meng Wendong did was to appreciate, commend, and give rewards from the court to some people.

"Bazar Banner and others come out."

A few middle-aged people in the audience who were wearing relatively clean clothes, but whose aura showed that they were not rich people, stood up.

When this group of people stood up, the others were at a loss.

What is this for?

Meng Wendong was heard to say: "You made some achievements in annihilating the Xiongnu tribe, and you proactively welcomed the arrival of the Qin Dynasty."

"Therefore, Great Qin would like to commend you."

Hearing this, the numb people in the crowd became a little jealous, and they looked at Bazar and others.

Commendation?

They were all calm in their hearts.

First of all, this process is very familiar, and secondly, the reward for recognition is "them". As slaves, they will be rewarded to the new slave owner.

It just changed its owner.

Why do they have mood swings?

However, what they said next made them a little confused and at a loss.

Only to hear Meng Wendong continue to say: "His Majesty has decreed to grant Daqin household registration to a few of you. He will also give you one thousand yuan and ten silver coins. You will have ten acres of pasture in Qingcao County and five cattle and sheep each."

Bazar and others immediately kowtowed: "People, thank you for your grace."

After Meng Wendong gave the things to these people, Bazar and others returned to the team.

This made those people a little confused. What does this mean?

Some people even snickered in their hearts, is helping Da Qin just such a small reward?

Meng Wendong looked at the people with different expressions and just smiled and said: "Everyone, I know what kind of life you lived when the Huns were here."

"But in Da Qin, we do not allow slave owners to exist."

He said with a smile: "Slave owners can burn, kill, loot and even kidnap you without any responsibility. You also need to worry about your own life and your family every day."

"But the leaders of Da Qin and people with Da Qin household registration do not need to worry about this."

"The Qin Law Society will protect everyone with a Daqin household registration impartially."

"Any provocation against people with Da Qin household registration will be regarded as a provocation against Da Qin and the laws of Qin."

"And His Majesty the First Emperor will definitely use the laws of Qin to punish him."

Meng Wendong said such a sentence in an understatement, which made a very deep impression on these people later.

Of course, people at this time still don’t know the true weight of this sentence.

Meng Wendong just continued: "According to Qin law, all people in Great Qin will get some land. Since Qingcao County is a grazing county, we will turn "land" into "grassland" and continue to distribute it."

He took out a booklet and said slowly: "Now in Qingcao County, except for the people from Bazar Banner who have Daqin household registration, most of the others have Daqin temporary household registration."

"Although Da Qin's temporary household registration cannot directly allocate you grassland, it does allow you to exchange labor for grassland."

Meng Wendong's eyes were cold: "As for people from the Three Banners such as Lamu Tuo'er, Kula Duku, and Tan Degao, they cannot have any kind of household registration because they have colluded with the Huns."

He looked at the people below and carefully explained to them the role of Daqin household registration, what temporary household registration can do, and what people without household registration or temporary household registration should do.

Everyone standing on the grass subconsciously pinched their foreheads after listening to Meng Wendong's introduction.

People with household registration can be allocated land, and can even take selection examinations and work in the court as a minor official?

You can even serve as officials in various banners and districts?

People with temporary household registration can get money through labor, and can even own their own grassland, they just need to buy it with their own money.

You don’t have to treat yourself as a slave, can you even own your own property?

Are they dreaming?

Even people who do not have household registration can ensure their own life safety.

At least they won't be killed by people who don't know where they come from, snatched away as slaves, or even tortured to death.

Their children, their relatives, and their wives no longer belong to others and may no longer be abused at any time.

At this time, even those who had resisted Da Qin before felt a little moved in their hearts.

If you can be a good human being, no one will want to be a slave.

This is human nature.

Meng Wendong's eyes quickly captured the thoughts of these people, and a smile slowly appeared in his heart.

He knew what these people were thinking, but pretended not to know and continued to introduce in detail the "rights" and "obligations" of people with household registration, temporary household registration, and those without household registration.

The numb slaves were kneeling down, sincerely, as if they were in front of Changshengtian.

This is not Meng Wendong's request, but they feel the excitement and joy from the heart, unable to express their emotions, and can only use such primitive means to feel their numb hearts.

It's not an exaggeration to say that I burst into tears.

Meng Wendong looked at the people in front of him. Perhaps these people could only be considered real "people" now.

Before, their livestock was not even as valuable.

Meng Wendong's originally somewhat cold heart softened for a moment, but in an instant he became cold again.

Even though these people are now Da Qin people and belong to Da Qin, he still knows how to treat them.

He is also one of the colleges in Baijiagong and has attended many lectures before.

What impressed him most was Chen Ke's attitude towards these "naturalized" people.

To sum it up, just a few words.

"It can't be too good, it can't be bad, it can't be better than the people of Qin and the Central Plains, and it can't be much worse than the people of the Central Plains and the Qin."

The degree of this needs to be figured out by oneself.

Meng Wendong felt that he should be able to understand Prime Minister Chen's thoughts.

After all, he also felt that what would happen to these people even if they were naturalized? If because their race is different from the Central Plains people and the Qin people, they are very friendly to them, even more than the original Qin people, then the Qin people

What does the previous effort count?

Therefore, in Meng Wendong's view, these people must not be allowed to live better than the Qin people.

We must always let them know that there is some gap between them and the Qin people, but we must not let them feel that the gap is too big.
To be continued...
