I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 504: The crime is in this age, but the benefit will last for generations! White Dragon Fish Suit!

"Come on, take me out for a walk."

The Longcheng Palace covers a large area and has quite a lot of scenery.

However, Han Shao, who was in the middle of it, always felt a little depressed, as if he was in a cage.

The most important thing is that all the buildings here are too similar to the majestic and sacred palace complex in the capital. Staying in it for a long time will always make people inexplicably have some kind of illusion that should not be there.

Han Shao didn't want to make the same stupid mistake as Shi Bi did before, so he didn't really like this place.

"It's just a corner of the capital, it's far from it."

Reminding himself of this in his heart, Han Shao suppressed his somewhat impetuous mood a little, and then walked out with Abaoji's bowing accompaniment.

However, Han Shao soon paused.

Looking at the familiar figure kneeling hurriedly, Han Shao smiled faintly.

"Not bad, much more mature."

The wolf cub who once knelt in front of his horse and begged for his life has now grown up. Not only has his body become taller, but he also has a layer of short beard around his lips.

At first glance, he seemed to be a bit older than Han Shaoye.

how to say?

All I can say is that the cold wind on this grassland is really too unbearable.

When Tiemu Aguda heard Han Shao's words, his eyes turned red and he kowtowed hurriedly.

"Aguda was young and ignorant before, and he let his master down."

Han Shao lowered his eyes and looked at Tiemu Aguda, his voice without much emotion.

"No one is perfect. To admit one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue."

"Stand up, you are the commander of the guards after all. It would be a loss of dignity if those people under you saw you."

Previously, Han Shao had arranged for him, Taiji and Wuzhu's tribe to march west together.

The Taiji controlled the Guiyi Army, while he served as the military supervisor of the Wuzhu tribe.

But later on, there was a small disturbance in Dragon City, so he had to be transferred back to serve as the commander of the palace guards.

It not only has the meaning of balance, but also to a certain extent provides an extra layer of protection for Karasuma and Miyabi mother and son.

To prevent some people from making stupid mistakes again.

As for how to ensure that the Wuzhu tribe does not get out of control, I believe that with Taiji's ability, there will be no trouble.

When Tiemu Aguda heard Han Shao's words at this moment, he could not hide his excitement. He kowtowed to express his gratitude while speaking hurriedly.

"Aguda is always a loyal dog to his master!"

"It is thanks to the majesty of my master that Aguda is where he is today. If it weren't for my master, Aguda would be nothing more than a shepherd slave of the Qiyan tribe! How can I talk about majesty?"

In the past, Temujin Aguda would never have been able to say this kind of flattery due to his inner pride.

It seems that there is really no difference between raising a wolf and raising a dog. If it is disobedient, just put it in a cage and let it starve for a few days and it will become obedient.

Han Shao chuckled and nodded slightly.

"Yes, you are better at speaking than before."

After saying that, he took Abaoji and walked past him casually.

Just when Temu Aguda was feeling disappointed and lonely, he suddenly heard Han Shao say another sentence.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you come closer and let me lead the way?"

Tiemu Aguda was stunned when he heard this, but then he felt quite surprised and excited as if a new light had suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Here!"

"Master, wait a moment. Aguda will be here soon!"

From the moment Han Shao came to Longcheng again, he had been guarding outside the inner hall, waiting for such an opportunity.

Now that the opportunity has finally come, how could he let it go?
But soon he was scratching his head.

"Master... Master, where are we going?"

Seeing how attentive he was, he actually looked a bit like a loyal dog. Han Shao smiled softly.

"No hurry, let's go for a walk in the city first."

……

When he came, Han Shao had a rough overview from a high vantage point and could only see the general picture.

Being in it now, I have a different feeling.

The clothes, faces and language around him were so different from those in Yongtu that Han Shao always felt like he was in a foreign land.

This made Han Shao frown slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.

"This Chen Shu... is he incompetent or too timid to let go?"

Chen Shu is Lu Yan's father-in-law.

Han Shao originally abandoned this father-in-law and son-in-law in Longcheng, where they served as a good match for each other.

The purpose is self-evident.

But now he is a little disappointed.

Yi Nian landed on a government office near the palace, and Chen Shu hurried over.

"Your humble servant Chen Shu greets His Majesty!"

Seeing that Han Shao looked a little unhappy, Chen Shu didn't know what was wrong and suddenly became a little nervous.

Han Shao glanced at him indifferently, raised his hand and pointed at the barbarian costumes around him, and said indifferently.

"I can understand that you can't change or learn how to speak in a short time."

"But this etiquette of clothing cannot be changed?"

Chen Shu, who finally realized why Han Shao was dissatisfied, broke out in sweat and couldn't help but speak up for himself.

"I have done what you have been told, but it is not going to work!"

Except for the barbarian people in the city who are used to wearing grassland clothing, whether to change or buy new clothing for the Yong people is a considerable expense for ordinary barbarian people, and even a heavy burden for the whole family.

Today's Longcheng has gone through several wars. After the city was breached, it was severely looted by the poor rural residents who came with the Yong people.

Even if they are lucky enough to survive, many families are still extremely poor.

Is this just the reason?
Han Shao looked at Chen Shu and sneered, "Can't you push it through? Don't you still have your son-in-law Lu Yan?"

"The five thousand armored cavalrymen under his command are all holding fire sticks?"

Chen Shu, who had already understood Han Shao's intention, had beads of sweat on his forehead becoming more and more frequent, and he spoke in a low voice.

"It's just... it's just that if this happens, the situation in Dragon City that has finally stabilized will be ruined..."

Stablize?

Han Shao interrupted with a cold snort, "I don't want the current stability, I want long-term peace and stability!"

What we want is to change customs and habits!
What we want is to completely digest this ethnic group!
What we want is true unification!
What does it matter if some people die for this long-term goal?
If we don't take advantage of the fact that the might of destroying the country has not yet dissipated and wipe out everything in one fell swoop, a huge chaos will occur with a little instigation by those with ulterior motives, and even more people will die!

After all, the word "integration" may seem like an understatement, but the price it comes at is bound to be bloody and cruel.

It is always better to pay here than there.

No?
After hearing what he said, Chen Shu looked hesitant and seemed reluctant.

For a moment, he was already planning to make a substitution.

But considering Lu Yan's face, Han Shao decided to give him another chance, so he controlled his temper and spoke gently.

"I know you have good intentions, and you care about your reputation, so you are bound to be hesitant about some things."

"But you don't know that many things in this world have to be done by someone."

"Otherwise, what you and I can do today with only half our strength will probably take all our strength to accomplish in the hands of future generations, or even be powerless to do anything!"

Having said that, Han Shao stepped forward and patted him heavily on the shoulder, encouraging him in a serious tone.

"It is only Spring and Autumn that knows that I have sinned against you!"

"When your name is recorded in history, future generations will surely sigh that you, 'Mr. Chen,' committed sins in your own time, but will benefit future generations!"

When it comes to misleading people, Han Shao is number one, and few dare to refute him.

The fearlessness of the phrase "Only the Spring and Autumn Annals know me and judge me."

A great sacrifice of "the sin is in the present, the benefit is for future generations".

Almost instantly, a bonfire in Chen Shu's heart was ignited, and it became more and more intense.

Han Shao did not give him a chance to refute or give up, nor did he bother to repeat the general strategy, and just made the arrangements himself.

"From now on, we will cut down all the chaotic festivals on the grassland." "From now on, all the festivals of the Yong people must be celebrated in a grand manner!"

"If the wealth is not enough..."

Han Shao paused as he spoke, then cast his gaze on a few slaves who had come out of the mansions of the nobles in the city, and finally grinned.

"Take it from these people."

If ordinary barbarian people did not obey the government orders to change their clothes, they could explain and make excuses by saying that their families were poor and could not afford it.

What about these noble families in Longcheng?

The clothes he wears are made of Yong people's silk, but they adhere to the style of the grassland. What is he trying to do?
Is he harboring resentment towards his former master, Shi Bi, and intending to destroy the good situation of reconciliation between the two tribes and plotting a restoration?

When Han Shao said this, his eyes suddenly fell on A Baoji behind him.

Abaoji felt a chill on his back and bowed quickly.

"This is the fault of the Six Gates! I will investigate it later!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I will investigate it thoroughly and will never let those evil-minded thieves ruin Your Majesty's overall situation!"

Han Shao shook his head and denied what Abaoji said.

"It's not for me, it's for the people of Longcheng!"

"It is to restore the peaceful grassland world that has finally come to an end, a bright and clear world!"

You see, the same content, expressed in a different way, doesn't it seem more righteous?
So, they still have to practice and learn.

The Six Gates do all the dirty and private work. If they can't learn this, let alone being admirals or not, their reputation and end will probably not be good.

Han Shao will teach him Abaoji once today, and how much he can learn depends on his luck.

Seeing that Abaoji looked thoughtful, Han Shao stopped looking at him and turned his gaze back to Chen Shu.

"In addition, I will dispatch a group of scholars to the north later."

"Specially teach the children in the city to learn Yong language and Yong script."

The level of these people does not need to be very high, it is enough to be roughly the same as their predecessors.

Once they are familiar with the local customs and practices of the grassland, Han Shao can even appoint the best among them as minor officials.

This can be regarded as Han Shao opening up a path to change the lives of those "Shao brothers" who have no way to make progress.

At this point, Han Shao's expression became slightly serious.

"They are good seeds sown alone on the grassland, and one day they will bear abundant fruits."

"What you have to do is to protect their safety for me. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Chen Shu had no time to think about Han Shao's plan, and hurriedly nodded to assure Han Shao.

After reiterating his determination and attitude to change the customs on the grassland with these words, Han Shao didn't say anything else.

Let Chen Shu try it first. If it still doesn’t work, we will have to replace him.

In fact, Han Shao already has a candidate.

"Forget it, let Cao Wu come over and serve as Chen Shu's assistant."

This will not only allow us to test Cao Wu's abilities, but also give him a chance to gain experience.

If Chen Shu is really a hopeless case, Jin can replace him.

Tui Yike can use the experience and merits accumulated from this grassland training to recall Cao Wu to serve him.

It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone.

Han Shao thought about it, and then he simply concealed his breath and strolled around the city with a few people behind him.

During this time, when Han Shao met some Yong merchants and pedestrians, he approached them unnoticed.

He took the opportunity to invite the two barbarians, Abaoji and Temu Aguda, to come forward and have a conversation.

Han Shao casually looked at the goods displayed in these shops and stalls.

To be honest, most of the Yong soil in the south is very crude, but it is sold at a very high price.

Han Shao looked around and finally picked out two relatively exquisite odds and ends to cheer Wu Wan and Ya up.

Different from his arrogant attitude towards Abaoji and Temu Aguda, the Yong merchant was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Han Shao's Yong face, and then said with a smile on his face.

“It is a great joy in life to meet an old friend in a foreign land.”

"This little thing is not worth much, take it!"

Although the item itself is not valuable, it is worth a lot considering the distance of thousands of miles.

Han Shao laughed and did not refuse.

After saying thank you, he put the two small items into his arms and said.

"You gave me... two gifts. How about I give you two sentences in return?"

There is no stupid person who can travel thousands of miles for business.

Han Shao's tone was quite arrogant, and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

Upon hearing this, the merchant straightened his expression and bowed.

"Sir, you can talk as you please!"

Han Shao smiled, then nodded at Abaoji and Tiemu Aguda before speaking.

"The first sentence is... If you want to do business for a long time, it is better not to treat people too obviously differently in the future."

"These barbarians have very hot tempers. When they get angry, they often throw their brains aside."

"Even if our Lü...Lü Zhonglang who is guarding the city seeks justice for you, the damage has already been done, right?"

People live a face, and trees live a skin.

Some things are better to be avoided if they can be avoided.

At present, the Yong people still have the majesty of breaking cities and sweeping across the grasslands, so these barbarians can still tolerate it.

When this resentment accumulates for a long time in the future, it is inevitable that it will explode, which will not be conducive to Han Shao's "integration" strategy.

Hearing Han Shao's words, Shang Jia's eyes fell on the cold faces of Abaoji and Temu Aguda. He suddenly understood something in his heart and hurriedly bowed to Han Shao.

"Sir, what you said is very true! I will take your advice!"

Han Shao smiled and nodded, accepting his greeting.

"This second sentence..."

Han Shao said this while tapping lightly on the heavy iron tools.

"If you can get rid of these things, try to get rid of them."

"Don't waste time transporting it here in the future. It's unnecessary."

When these words were spoken, the merchants were completely dumbfounded.

You should know that for countless years, due to the lack of smelting technology and mineral resources on the grassland, iron utensils such as iron pots have always been a scarce commodity on the grassland.

It is also the biggest source of their profits!
How come it becomes a hot potato in the mouth of this young guest?
He was just about to open his mouth to ask what was going on, but when he looked up he realized that due to his distraction just now, not only the young guest of the same tribe but also the two barbarians had disappeared.

The merchant was anxious and quickly pulled over a helper.

"Did you see which direction those guests went just now?"

The guy who was grabbed looked at the shopkeeper's anxious look with a confused look on his face.

"Guests? What guests? I didn't see any!"

"Weren't we the only ones here just now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the merchant suddenly felt as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

But after calming down, he slammed his palm, his face showing both annoyance and excitement that he could hardly control himself.

"I remember it! I remember it!"

"I've seen it before! I've seen it before! How come I didn't recognize it?"

After saying this, he immediately called all the accompanying staff.

"Spread my words! From now on, sell all our ironware at a low price!"

"Leave nothing behind!"

Seeing their boss's crazy dancing appearance, and hearing his words, all the employees turned pale and said to themselves.

"It's over, the shopkeeper has gone crazy!"
