Early in the morning, a servant boy from the mansion came to look for Zi Ye. He said that there was a row of people kneeling outside the door neatly, and whether or not he needed to inform the Prince Zhan. Zi Ye nonchalantly waved his hand, "The prince isn't someone that can be seen just by their kneeling. Kneel."

The servant couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eyes, "That's just kneeling, that's already been kneeling for four hours." He just thought about it and didn't dare to say it.

At dawn, the sun slowly rose in Wencheng. The row of City Lords had also knelt at the entrance of this prefecture garden for several hours. Everyone was usually happy and happy. Slowly, these people's kneeling bodies became unsteady, and they became unsteady and anxious. "Didn't Prince Zhan see us when we got the notice? It's already morning. " One of the city lords was rather old, and he had collapsed to the point that he couldn't bear it any longer, so he muttered to himself.

The remaining few people couldn't help but look at each other in dismay, but they didn't dare to mutter anything like that City Lord. They could only silently endure and continue kneeling.

In the yard, the kitchen had already prepared food. The manager in the kitchen came over and asked Zi Ye, "Your highness hasn't woken up yet? Do you need to prepare breakfast? "

"The prince never doesn't know how to pay it back in the morning, he must have some plan!" Thinking this, Zi Ye raised her head and looked outside the door, as if she could see the people kneeling outside, "Wait here for now, the prince might not be able to get up for the time being." After saying that, Zi Ye glanced at the manager in the kitchen.

When it was almost the appointed time in the morning, Prince Zhan lightly opened the door of the study, "Call them in." Slowly, the Prince Zhan looked at Zi Ye and ordered.

At this time, the ten city lords outside the gate had already knelt for almost six hours, their legs were already numb, the muscles on their legs were constantly shaking and twitching, they really were on the verge of losing consciousness. At this time, Zi Ye just happened to open the gate of the mansion.

Creak!" Everyone was overjoyed to hear the door open, and they all raised their heads to look at Zi Ye.

The corner of Zi Ye's mouth curled up as he said with a less than kind expression, "The king has announced that you are entering."

The city lords tried their best to stand up, but they found that their legs were useless, and they struggled to walk while trembling.

The Prince Zhan was still as cold as ever, and it was hard to tell if they were angry or not. The City Lords recalled the letter that was delivered to the Palace last night, and it was filled with accounts from the recent years. Before Prince Zhan could say anything, the City Lords' foreheads started sweating.

"Midnight, look at the seats." All of them were strong and strong, but after kneeling for a few hours, their legs and knees could no longer take it, and they started to sway one by one in front of Prince Zhan.

After hearing the orders, Zi Ye called for servants to enter the study and gave seats to each of the ten city lords. The City Lords were truly happy. If they continued to stand, their legs would be crippled. He only looked at Prince Zhan's cold expression, and nervously waited for Prince Zhan to say something.

"Tian Sheng has only enjoyed a few years of peace, but you all are getting impatient. Since the Emperor has handed over the ten cities to you all, you all should do your best to guard them and not perform any preposterous acts. Yesterday, I had arranged some spies at the border to scout for me. You all have done quite well, City Lord. The words that Prince Zhan had said were clear and indifferent, but his expression was incomparably cold. When the city lords heard this, their hearts felt like they had fallen into a deep abyss and they almost couldn't breathe. They thought that Prince Zhan would definitely punish them today.

"The border area is very far away from the Shangjing City, so naturally, the imperial court will have a part of the responsibility towards all of you if you neglect management. So naturally, this king came to assist you in your governance. " Then, the Prince Zhan explained to the city lords the policy of assimilation that was enlightened by Nangong Waner. In order to carry it out, the Prince Zhan had requested for an imperial edict on his horse and horse quickly, so the Prince Zhan had come prepared today. It was just that this "assimilation policy" required a large amount of money.

Prince Zhan seemed to not have heard the City Lord's question, as she looked at his chair with interest. She seemed to be sizing him up, but also seemed to be probing him. When the Mayor's body was completely frozen by Prince Zhan, he slowly said, "Ziye, the Old City Lord's chair is broken, go and spoil it."

The Old City Lord was about to refuse, strongly expressing that the chair wasn't broken. However, Zi Ye didn't give him the opportunity to open his mouth. She directly picked up the Old City Lord's chair and pulled it away.

Prince Zhan seemed to have forgotten once again that the previous actions had nothing to do with the special allocation to the imperial government that the Old City Lord had asked him about. He looked at the Old City Lord indifferently, "I still have a more detailed account of the transactions between the government and you, the Old City Lord. This King has seen that the financial resources are quite decent, so the city's policy implementation will depend on the Old City Lord to think of a solution."

After being pulled out a chair by Zi Ye, his face was deathly white as he stood in place and struggled to hold on. Hearing Prince Zhan's words, "You have to think of a way yourself", the old City Lord had to endure the pain, even though he knew that when the Prince Zhan came, he would definitely pull out their tendons and pull out their bones. He also understood the methods of the Prince Zhan, and although he was unwilling, he did not dare to reveal it, so he could only respectfully reply, "Yes, this official will follow the arrangements of Your Highness."

As soon as she said that, Zi Ye handed over a chair and pushed down the old mayor.

As for the remaining nine city lords, how could they not understand what was going on? They all sat there with unsightly faces, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

Since Zicheng has agreed so readily, the remaining nine cities will follow suit. The Mayor will personally settle all of the money during the 'assimilation policy' period, no one is allowed to raise the exorbitant taxes, no one is allowed to plunder the cream, and those who disobey will be executed on the spot. Prince Zhan's words were cold, but his aura was extremely astonishing. After he finished speaking, all ten of them fainted.

"Throw it out." Prince Zhan ordered Zi Ye indifferently.

Therefore, it could be said that Zi Ye had spent quite a bit of effort to throw all ten of them out of the mansion.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Prince Zhan's "policy of assimilation" was spread all over the streets and alleys.

Due to the limited climate and geographical location of the ten cities on the frontier, the economy was underdeveloped for a long time, and the people were in dire straits. The Emperor sympathized with the people and decided that the world was common, the people were rich each other, and he used the advanced technology in the eastern part of the country to bring wealth to the western border. The Emperor ordered the Prince Zhan Chu Xiuhan to promote the three policies of economic development in the ten cities near the border.

First, agriculture: encourage the reclamation of wasteland, after the reclamation of wasteland belong to the reclamation, the government will not receive food for five years. At the same time, the introduction of midwestern grain people to improve the frontier farming environment, the introduction of talent within five years can be free of charge to receive high-quality grains issued by the city. As for those who could bring in talents, they were rewarded with 10 taels of silver.

Secondly, on the business side: opening up the border cities' foreign trade and internal exchanges, the border cities' business tax revenue will be reduced to 20% of the original amount in the next five years. He encouraged the mayor to introduce some famous chains in the Tian Sheng, and rented out shops for the famous brands to use. Within five years, the mayor was exempt from the rent.

Third, on the welfare of the citizens: the city will pay for the destruction of the dangerous houses in the city, so that the people in the city can have a home to return to, clothes to wear, food to eat.

In addition, under the posted notice, it was written clearly and strongly that the above three policies could be overseen by the citizens of the city.

At the very end of the notice was a very clear map, clearly showing the location of the manor where the Prince Zhan was staying.

After half a day, Prince Zhan's notice was pasted all over the streets and alleys of the ten cities, and was even pasted bit by bit towards the center and east.

The people of the ten cities at the border were in a frenzy. The people of the central and eastern regions were in a frenzy as they thought about going to the west.

Even Prince Zhan Chu Xiuhan did not expect that his small "assimilation policy" would cause the biggest migration in the history of the Tian Sheng Empire. In the near future, the ten borderlands cities, especially the Wen City, where the Prince Zhan was currently located, would become the region with the most people and most tolerance in the Tian Sheng Dynasty.

This "assimilation policy" had also brought about a leap in the economic quality of the ten cities on the border, and the changes were increasing day by day.
