Chapter 398 The President Compromises After the Chaos
Why didn't any immortal come forward to help, let alone intervene?
Naturally, it cannot be Xie Xin's fault. After all, under the collective threat of almost all the monks and monsters, Xie Xin is unwilling to become their enemy no matter how strong he is. It is not easy for everyone to practice, and the reason why they come forward is involuntarily.
, what’s the point of being a villain in vain?
So why, at this moment when the country feels like its survival is in danger, no one is willing to lend a helping hand?
Because, in fact, this is not a precursor to a war to destroy the country at all!
All the barbarians miraculously disappeared after burning, killing and looting. They seemed to have disappeared in this world and could not be found anywhere. Even if they found their former nest, they would be empty.
There are even places where spider webs have grown.
Where did the Shanyue people go?! Sima Yi was furious, and Zhu Zhi was really depressed.
He is the director of the National Security Bureau and is in charge of a lot of spies, but in the end he couldn't find any information about these Shanyoshi.
But he didn't know that there was a report on his desk, saying that due to the recent violence in Shangyue, several aristocratic families had migrated to the south and returned to the north. The report pointed out that many untouchables and common people were also returning to the north.
, or on the way north.
"What's the difference between Yue and Han?" Xie Xin was playing chess with Lou Gui at the moment.
"Other than customs, clothes and demeanor, there doesn't seem to be much difference in appearance?" Lou Gui thought for a while and said.
"If a Yue person has been Sinicized for more than half a year, and his appearance and demeanor are almost the same as those of Han people, can you tell that he is Yue person?" Xie Xin asked with a smile.
"Disciple can't tell!" Lou Gui said calmly.
In fact, now that we have reached this point, there is no longer any distinction between superiority and inferiority. We are all Chinese people.
"In this way, this group of Yue people pretended to be people who moved south, and then settled down in various villages and towns, and then they farmed and worked obediently. Although they were modest and polite, they were no different from ordinary refugees. Under such circumstances,
Do you believe that there are a group of Shanyue living around you?" Xie Xin asked again.
After playing a good game of chess, why did the conversation suddenly come to the subject of Shanyue?
"It's nothing, it's just that there may be someone in the south who is confused about where Shanyue comes from, so I am kind-hearted and just answered it a little bit." Xie Xin said with a smile.
"By the way, Master, you should go to the south and talk to him...what's the point of talking to the disciples?" Lou Gui complained.
"It's just because I can't let him know that I have to tell you!" Xie Xin said with a smile.
"But, what's the point of this?" Lou Gui was confused.
"There is a meaning, it is to distract you... General!" Xie Xin moved the chess piece.
"Ah! Master, you are cheating! This game does not count!" Lou Gui immediately argued loudly.
No matter what, anyway, more than 20 tribes and about 50,000 people passed through the mountains through various means, wasting several secret passages and contact points in the Han Empire, and finally brought them safely into the empire.
Subsequently, the state gave them a new living environment and ordered local officials to treat these friends from the south equally!
At this moment, almost everyone in Shanyue is wealthy, and the looted wealth can almost pile up several hills. It is accumulated by more than a dozen aristocratic families in the south for decades or even hundreds of years.
The Yue people who gained this wealth also bought local land and houses. They first lived a life as landlords, and then began to turn into capitalists depending on the situation.
"Welcome everyone!" Not long after, Liu Xie led the cabinet members to greet more than 20 aristocratic families at Luoyang Imperial Square.
"The criminals have returned from foreign countries and are guilty of treason. They do not deserve His Majesty's love!" However, a group of aristocratic families immediately knelt down with their clan members.
"You have done a lot for the Han Empire. I welcome you personally. That is what you should do. Just forget about everything in the past. Now, I, the Han Empire, welcome you to come back and settle, and I also welcome you to come back to make a fortune.
! Of course, the three major political parties also welcome your descendants, who can serve as prime ministers in the future!" Liu Xie said cordially to everyone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and all the cabinet ministers for forgiving our sins!" Everyone kowtowed three times in unison, and then slowly stood up on the ground.
"So, whoever reads the list next, please follow me!" Xiahou Dun walked out, picked up a list and started reading it.
Afterwards, about five aristocratic families left with Xiahou Dun.
And the other aristocratic families who watched them leave couldn't help but secretly whisper, where on earth are these people going?!
Naturally, they didn't know that these aristocratic families had actually been working undercover through Liu Xie and others early on and had gone south to serve as undercover imperial heroes. Although their role had not been fully exerted, their mission was canceled directly, but this operation was because of
They and the empire have received a lot of benefits, so let them retire early, just retire early!
Then, the director of the Security Bureau, Jia Xu, came up. This guy only served one more term. From the next term, the deputy director Guo Jia came to take on this responsibility, and he also retired to entertain his children and grandchildren.
"Whoever reads the list next, come with me..." Jia Xu did not have the moderate survival mode of history at all. Perhaps it was because the political system had changed, so he did not need to worry about the prosperity and decline of future generations.
After some chanting, three or four aristocratic families followed Jia Xu and left the square.
This group is all aristocratic families that are difficult to guarantee. In other words, just like the first batch of aristocratic families that were taken away, they are likely to be spies sent from the south. As for how to screen and confirm, not to let a spy go, no matter how
To unjustly accuse a good person, it depends on the methods of the Security Bureau.
In the end, there were only about a dozen aristocratic families left in the square.
"Everyone, the Minister of Imperial Affairs will make an excuse to explain your arrangements. Please rest assured that it is yours and we will not take it away. But it should not be yours. I hope you can understand and support it!
Liu Xie said with a smile and then drove back to the palace.
As for the remaining cabinet ministers, they also left the square one after another after being polite.
"Everyone, I am Xie Ben, the Minister of Imperial Affairs. Now, I will select your property. It belongs to the income you earned through hard work. We will not take a penny. But you use tricks, expropriation, extermination, etc.
The wealth gained... Of course, we won't take all of it.
For this part of the property, you only need to pay 40% to 95% of taxes depending on the ferocity of your methods, and the rest is naturally yours. Our people have already calculated the income in this area, so we hope you can cooperate.
Thank you!" Xie Bian said to them politely.
"We are willing to cooperate!" All the aristocratic families breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, not all of them were taken away. Although there were many of them, they actually made their fortunes by force and robbery. Otherwise, spies from the Han Empire would not have caught them and used them as bargaining chips to drag them into the water.
After some statistics, the aristocratic families naturally paid their respective taxes. Afterwards, the country was very tolerant in arranging their whereabouts according to their wishes. Whether they planned to return to their hometown or go to a wealthy area, their needs were met.
As for those Shanyue, they are relatively directional and arranged in several special areas. In fact, it can also be seen from this that in terms of its attitude towards the Shanyue minority, the Han Empire must treat them equally and treat everyone equally. In fact, there are still some
So a bit difficult.
It is also worth mentioning that almost all of the families killed in the south were unwilling to cooperate with the north, or had a history of betraying northern spies. Such families are defined by the Security Bureau as obstacles to infiltration.
Must be cleared!
For this reason, they were all killed by the Shanyue people. It was that simple.
The Han Empire began to be busy relocating these people and aristocratic families.
The Republic of China is also very busy working on the aftermath of this incident.
Especially for President Sima Yi, the public sentiment index has dropped to a record low of 30%. More than 50% of residents are questioning whether it is appropriate for him to continue to stay in the position of president. The remaining 20% of residents need to be based on
He will decide whether to continue to support him based on his opinions on how to handle this incident, or whether to join others in asking for a change of president.
Three months later, the handling opinions came out in line with people’s expectations:
All the more than 30,000 Shanyue residents involved in the case have been executed, and through the efforts of General He Qi, there is no longer a Yue or barbarian in the entire Republic, so everyone can live with peace of mind.
The second point is that the state will gradually provide compensation for the economic losses of residents in various places. However, due to the large number of people and the large amount, it will need to be gradually compensated within three or even five years. I hope you will wait patiently.
The third point is to abolish the Four Civil Laws. To put it simply, from now on, the republic is only divided into citizens and the people, and there is no distinction between the four peoples.
The definition of people is people who have joined the Republic for less than three years and have not yet received an identity card. This group of residents can only be regarded as a floating population and cannot be regarded as real citizens. Naturally, they do not have the political rights of citizens.
The fourth point is that all the people who protested in the early stage will be re-buried with honorary standards. The government will provide pension or free education to the family members of the deceased until they die or start working in the second year after graduating from college.
The above four points are the final opinions on handling this incident.
Many people cried because they knew that their struggle had worked, but their comrades or classmates who lost their lives could no longer see this scene.
More aristocratic families feel at ease, because without Shanyue, they no longer need to stay in the city and have a home. Well, it is actually not that safe in the city.
No one knows that some small villages on the border have now been quietly removed from history. The residents of those small villages, a total of more than 30,000 people, have just disappeared from the world.
There was nothing that could be done about it. All the mountains and rivers had already moved north. Where was Sima Yi supposed to find 30,000 mountains and rivers to come out to calm the situation?
This time, Sima Yi suffered a huge loss. He was still young and did not understand economic warfare and cultural invasion thoroughly enough, so there was nothing to complain about if he lost a few chips in the fight.
