Xiao Ruxun did this in order to prepare for the fiefdom of the meritorious officials in the future.
Since he was going to seal off the land, he couldn't kill all the people in the place, right?
If he killed all the people, the land would be left far away from the border. How could he develop and build it? How could he earn profits?
The meritorious officials would definitely not be happy.
Keep some of the population, let the local people have the minimum standard of profits, and then reward the meritorious officials. Only then would the officials be happy.
After all, Xiao Ruxun couldn't make things too ugly. If she ate the meat herself but didn't give the soup to her subordinates, she wouldn't be able to last long. If she wanted to establish a long-term rule, the task of distributing the benefits must be done well.
Under such a background, under Xiao Ruxun's arrangement, the population screening unit came to Nippon with their special mission. They were the first unit of Daqin to do this kind of thing, and they were also rookies. They had only gone through a period of training. If they could do it, they could cultivate a steady stream of talents for Daqin.
The previous dynasties of Daqin did not have this need, but Daqin did, Xiao Ruxun did, and Nippon was the first. Who would be the next? No one knew yet, but there would be a next.
With the size of Daqin, there was no population that couldn't be digested, no resources that couldn't be used.
Instead of letting Confucianism educate the barbarians, it was better to use military means to simply and crudely digest them and end all troubles. They could also contribute to the infrastructure of Daqin. As for the rights of captives, humanitarianism, civilization, benevolence, and so on.
Xiao Ruxun said, "Fuck you."
The winner enjoyed everything of the loser. If he wanted you to live, you would live. If he wanted you to die, you would die. If he wanted you to live a life worse than death, you would obediently live a life worse than death. Your life, your soul, your everything, all belonged to the winner. You could do whatever he wanted. There was nothing else to say!
Not satisfied? Want to resist? Want to retaliate?
Come, come, come, take revenge on me.
As long as you think you can do it.
Can't do it?
In that case, he could only obediently become fertilizer and die.
Consume the old and weak, then consume the young and strong, and finally consume the last batch of indigenous people under the colonial rule of Daqin.
Ten million people might seem like a lot, but if ten thousand people died every day, they would all be dead in less than three years.
Xiao Ruxun could not bear to let them die so quickly. At least, it would be better to wait until the construction of the Great Road in the country was completed, or even after the Yunnan-Burma Great Road was completed. The lives of the people of Daqin were precious. They still needed to have more children and grow more food.
After the screening team went ashore, they were led by the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Liu Tai. He led the screening team of over a thousand people and set off to find Chai Guozhu. After meeting with Chai Guozhu, he brought up the contents of Xiao Ruxun's orders.
"Screening the population? Is this an order from His Majesty? "
Chai Guozhu didn't understand, so Liu Tai took out Xiao Ruxun's warrant.
After Chai Guozhu saw it, he was secretly shocked. He quickly expressed that he understood and immediately arranged for the army to assist the population screening team in screening the first batch of craftsmen.
Traditional skills could be selected, but new and useful special skills could also be selected.
Especially craftsmen who could cast knives. If there were any, they must be brought back to Daqin. These were Xiao Ruxun's original words. Japanese knives were quite famous, and the related smelting technology was very secretive. If they could get their hands on them, it might bring some inspiration to the swordsmiths of Daqin, and it could also satisfy Xiao Ruxun's personal interests.
There were also blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, and so on. Miners with mining experience were also included. These people were useful, and they must all be retained to bring back to Daqin. Of course, these people were only retained personally, and not their families who didn't understand the technology.
"His Majesty's requirements are so detailed. Has the Japanese population been properly arranged?"
While arranging the work, Chai Guozhu also took time to discuss this with Liu Tai.
"Yes, His Majesty has held many joint meetings of the cabinet and various ministries to discuss how to deal with the Japanese population. His Majesty said that these people should become nourishment for the development of Daqin and be absorbed by Daqin. It seems that this is also part of the absorption."
Liu Tai said with emotion, "These Japanese are so unlucky that they actually pretended to be His Majesty. Humph, but this will happen sooner or later. The Japanese are audacious and disrespectful to Daqin, so Daqin will not tolerate them. What I'm most worried about now is that when we separate the young from the old, weak, sick, and disabled, it will cause a large-scale riot."
"Does His Majesty have any arrangements for this?"
Chai Guozhu had learned his lesson long ago. He knew that the current His Majesty was far more intelligent than ordinary people, so before Xiao Ruxun's order was given, he would never say his opinion, in case it went against the Emperor's will and made him unhappy.
"Of course, His Majesty is so wise, how could he not consider this?"
Liu Tai shook his head and said, "His Majesty wants us to take turns in each region, on a small scale, and have enough troops to deter the Japanese. We also need to make full use of the Japanese Autonomy Associations."
"Japanese Autonomy Associations … Oh, these are the ones that His Majesty said are allowed to stay …"
Chai Guozhu thought about the content of the imperial edict he had read before.
"Yes, His Majesty said that if we rely on the Daqin army to manage so many Japanese, we can't manage them all. We need to choose the Japanese who are willing to cooperate with Daqin as soon as possible and establish Japanese Autonomy Associations in various places. It's probably similar to the peasant associations in the villages of Daqin, but it's controlled by the Daqin army.
To put it simply, on the surface, we will push out some Japanese to manage them, but in fact, we will be the ones manipulating them. We will make them the bad guys, make them look bad, and make them hate us. We can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
To be honest, I really want to see this scene. I want to see to what extent they will fight. His Majesty said that at that time, the Japanese will feel that the Japanese Autonomy Associations are more hateful than the Daqin army. If they have a choice, they would rather kill the Autonomy Associations than rebel against Daqin. "
Chai Guozhu thought about it carefully.
"You don't say, it's really possible. It's the most hateful to use the tiger's power to intimidate others."
Liu Tai nodded his head and said, "That is what we say now, but when the time comes and we really do do this, the results are still unknown. His Majesty also wants us to be more careful. In an emergency situation, he would rather slaughter than cause any casualties."
"Of course, a group of captives, a group of slaves from a subjugated country, how can they make a big scene?"
Chai Guozhu nodded and said, "Then let's do it first. Let's start with Feiqian. This place has a larger population and has been occupied for the longest time. We can use this place as an experiment to see how the Japanese will react. Then we can discuss the next strategy."
Liu Tai nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, let's do that."
The two immediately started to act.
