Obviously, the problem of Emperor Hongzhi was not at all. The last moment he was thinking about selling his ancestral property, but the next moment he turned to the transformation of land and return to the flow.

Fang Jifan immediately realized that the emperor's arrival here was probably related to the change of land and return to the current situation.

He felt a little excited in his heart. The emperor read his article? It seemed... this article was very suitable for his appetite.

Fang Jifan said, "Yes, it's the subject's answer."

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment before saying, "But if the court changed the land and returned to the flow, it would inevitably trigger a rebound from the chieftains in the southwest, and chaos was right in front of us. Therefore, changing the land and returning to the flow was certainly the fundamental solution, but it was still superficial."

Yes, once the court implements the reform of the territory and return to power, it is like reducing the vassal states. How could those chieftains be willing to unite to launch a greater rebellion?

Fang Jifan said: "Therefore, I have made suggestions. Start by using barbarians to control barbarians. The court can allocate military households or local people in Huguang to the southwest to check and balance the southwest vassals and implement differentiation. In addition, using the method of mercy, a two-pronged approach is used. Anyway, these chieftains always have to rebel every now and then. As long as the army that suppresses the rebellion and the wolf soldiers can temporarily suppress them, they adopt different strategies according to different Tuzhous and refuse to accept them, the court will order the local wolf soldiers and army to suppress and cut off their chieftains. If they are willing to submit, they will be granted a generous salary, so that even if they are seized, they will not lose their wealth."

Emperor Hongzhi stood quietly with no expression on his face.

Fang Jifan didn't know if what he said was good or not, so he said a little dryly, but continued: "In fact, the frequent rebellions in the southwest are the most critical point that the imperial court has always had a huge blind spot."

The word "blind spot" made Emperor Hongzhi raise his eyebrows slightly, revealing an unhappy look.

Liu Qian, who was standing aside, was already filled with joy. This guy is so bold that he has never heard of the word blind spot, but he can understand the general meaning. Isn’t this just accusing the court of blinding his eyes? If you look deeper, it means that Your Majesty is confused and cannot be aware of everything?

Fang Jifan gradually calmed down. When he spoke just now, his tone was not very coherent, but now he began to be "unrestrained": "In history, the imperial court always regarded the chieftains, local officials, and local people in Tuzhou as one. Therefore, if he wanted to give mercy to the local people, he would most of the time award them. But in fact, although the local officials received countless rewards, what are the benefits for the local people? The local people did not get any benefits from the court, and this benefit was taken away by the chieftains and local officials, so they naturally would not be grateful for the kindness of His Majesty. However, these chieftains and local officials were all in a clear mind, and they knew that the reason why the imperial court rewarded them was because the imperial court wanted to appease them and not rebelled, so they naturally had a arrogant heart, because they knew that the more moderate provocations they were against the court, the more worried the court would make the court more and they could gain greater benefits from it."

"The court is not unfair to the southwest Tuzhou, but the natives have not gained real benefits, so how can they be grateful to the court? Now, the transformation of the land is essentially aimed at those hereditary chieftains and local officials. While the court wants to weaken them, it must not regard the natives and these chieftains as one, and treat them separately. There is no need to show mercy to the chieftains and local officials, but can try every means to give the benefits that should have been given to the chieftains and local officials to the natives. If they are transforming the land, they must return to the natives.

At the same time, the court allocated money and food for the poor natives. At the same time, he ordered the local garrison to provide enough salt and iron for the natives, and then gave them some land to open up land. From some natives, some clever ones were promoted, and schools were set up to allow them to study, so that they could become officials in the future. Then, even if the interests of the chieftains and hereditary local officials were infringed on their interests and wanted to resist the court, if the natives refused to obey, could the thirty or fifty local officials resist the heavenly soldiers?"

"I think that no matter where, the people in a place have different abilities and different ranks. They each have different needs and must not be regarded as one. To generalize, to govern Tuzhou, they can only divide and govern it. Dealing with chieftains is one method, treating smart natives is another method, and dealing with ordinary natives is another strategy, and treating weak women and children should also have an effective method. Only in this way can the court distinguish between enemies and us, who can win over and who need to be resolutely attacked. As long as the court follows this method, sends a capable minister to the southwest, leads the matter of changing the land and returning to the land, and then lets the local military towns and wolf soldiers station in various key places. After three or five years, using the resigned officials to replace the hereditary chieftain, this problem can be completely solved."

Emperor Hongzhi heard it casually at first.

He was very interested in the four words "changing land and returning to the flow". However, at first, he thought it was a bit unrealistic, but now... he suddenly realized that Fang Jifan not only said it well, but also... it was very reasonable.

Why do chieftains always suppress them? It is because the court regards chieftains and their tribesmen as a whole, so the court rewards them and gives them to chieftains. If the natives want a good life, they still have to rely on the chieftains. The chieftains take out the money and grain rewards from the court and distribute them to the natives to win people's hearts. If a chieftain rebellion, the court will regard the entire tribe as a rebellion, and the result is that the natives who have received the benefits of chieftains and unite with the chieftains. Once the chieftains rebelled, the natives will share life and death with the chieftains.

Dividing and governing... The more Emperor Hongzhi listened, the more he felt it felt. Although the court was good at using the method of dividing and governing, such as dealing with the Oirat and Tatars, they often provoked internal struggles between the various tribes, so that the court could enjoy the success. However, what Fang Jifan said about dividing and governing was to separate the three or six or nine classes of the entire Tuzhou and formulate methods of dealing with it according to different groups.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up, and he vaguely felt that this strategy could work.

It's strange that Emperor Hongzhi was shocked to be a big problem. The monarch and ministers in the court were helpless. But they were told through by such a guy.

He couldn't help but look at Fang Jifan deeply curiously. Where did this guy learn these things? But he has always been steady. Although he was shocked, he didn't show any expression. He smiled slightly and said, "I heard that you are a playboy, ignorant. When you see him today, you feel that the rumors are so untrue!"

When he said this lightly, Fang Jifan raised his eyes carefully, but found that Emperor Hongzhi had a cool face.

Fang Jifan felt proud just now, and he felt that it was time for him to become successful, but now, his heart skipped a beat.

A terrible thought rose from his heart.

What I did in the past was indeed a slut and LIUSAG image. But when the emperor met today, he found that he was polite and answered like a stream of words. This...

No.

How can a person who is usually so bad that his bones change greatly?

So... what would the emperor think? The worst result is that in the emperor's heart, he believed that he was pretending to be stupid, a person who pretended to be stupid but was extremely smart at the critical moment. Isn't this telling the emperor that Fang Jifan was extremely cunning?

No emperor would hope that the people below are too cunning and too thoughtful, and even the emperor cannot predict it. Can you feel at ease? So...

Fang Jifan understood that he had performed so well just now, and he was simply seeking death.

Thinking of this, Fang Jifan was already sweating profusely and wished he could beat his chest and fall down.

Is this meaning that if I don’t become a prodigal son, I will give people the image of a conspirator and an ambitious man?

In this way, our Fang Jifan must be a villain scumbag and prodigal son!
