    After sending Gao Yuan away, the most important thing for Huang Mingli was to smoothly take over Pyongyang City.  What was received was not just this city, but the responsibilities and powers assumed by Pyongyang as the capital of the entire Goguryeo.

    The first is the treasuries and pavilions throughout Pyongyang City.

    Although Goguryeo fought for three years and its supplies were somewhat depleted, the emaciated camels were bigger than horses, and Goguryeo¡¯s hundreds of years of savings were not fake.  In addition to leaving some food to stabilize the city, all the treasures, beauties, and treasures of the Goguryeo royal family were transported to the warships.  In order to build Liaodong, a huge amount of money has been consumed for more than a year. This money is enough to make up for Huang Mingyuan's shortfall, and then start the construction of Liaodong.

    Otherwise, the war is a good weapon to make a fortune, breaking through Pyongyang, and everything that originally paid was rewarded.

    Then came the war horses, weapons, etc. Huang Mingli did not keep any of them, either to supplement the army or to transfer them directly.

    Of course, there is no use in leaving armaments behind. If the city of Pyongyang is in danger, the Sui army will not dare to distribute weapons and let the people in the city help defend the city.

    Of course, the most important thing in conquering Pyongyang is the maps, atlases and other materials left by various Goguryeo officials. This is the most important thing to understand the situation in Goguryeo and restore people's livelihood as soon as possible.

    Fortunately, Goguryeo surrendered normally, and the various pavilions in the palace were not damaged. Now they are all left to the Sui army.

    As for the rest of the supplies, there were a lot of them, and most of them were basically emptied by the Sui army.

    But for the Sui Army, the problem is not receiving supplies, although this is the Sui Army's biggest gain now.  The difficult thing is how to stabilize people's hearts.

    The entire Goguryeo, including Liaodong, has a registered population of about 750,000 households, or about 4 million people.  After two Goguryeo wars, Goguryeo lost a large area of ??land in Liaodong and suffered numerous military casualties. Before the third Goguryeo war, there were almost 470,000 households and 2.4 million people.

    As the nurturing place of Goguryeo, Pyongyang City has 30,000 households and a population of 160,000 to 70,000. It can be said that by stabilizing Pyongyang City, most of southern Goguryeo can be stabilized.

    ??And south of Pyongyang, there are no less than 100,000 households, mostly Goguryeo. If these people escape into Goguryeo and Silla, it will also increase the strength of the other party.

    Although the Sui army has taken the letters of persuasion written by Gao Yuan and went to various places in the south to take over the cities, no one can guarantee the effectiveness or whether the people will recognize these letters of persuasion to surrender.

    Facing the hostile and distrustful eyes of the city, Huang Mingli decided to win the trust of the people.

    There are a lot of savings in Pyongyang, not only the Goguryeo royal family, but also the nobles in the entire city.  These people occupy a large amount of land and resources and control the development lifeline of this country.

    Huang Mingli knew very well that except for some of the leading parties, most of these people did not accept the Sui Dynasty.  In this case, instead of trying hard to win the support of these people, it is better to turn over the table and treat the guests again.

    Through various intelligence, Huang Mingli listed a group of people in the city who had a bad reputation, did not submit to the Sui Dynasty, and had vast assets as targets for elimination, and then ordered the army to ransack their homes one by one.

    These people were a source of instability in Pyongyang City. The Sui army launched a thunderous attack and immediately wiped out hundreds of families.  Countless harvests of various lands and grains.

    ¡°When a country is rotten, the ruling class must be rotten.

    ¡°Other people in Pyongyang saw those around them end up in this fate, and in order not to follow in his footsteps, they donated money, food, and land one after another.  More people devoted themselves to the Sui army with their own thoughts and became the thugs of the Sui army.

    This wave of attacks by the Sui army shocked most people.

    The art of controlling people is to pull and hit them.  The Sui army killed some people and made the people in Pyongyang feel powerful. The next step was to make the other party feel close.

    It is not an unprincipled kiss, but a group of people who can become supporters of the Sui army.

    ?Those who have permanent property have perseverance, but it is really difficult for ordinary people without property to have the thought of loving the country and the nation in this era.  For them, no nation or country is as trustworthy as whoever gives them a full meal.

    Huang Mingli collected a large amount of confiscated fertile land as public land, and then leased the land to ordinary people who had no land or whose personal land was less than ten acres, and reduced land rents and taxes.  These ordinary people got the land to cultivate and paid less taxes. They received direct benefits, not to mention being more grateful to the Sui army.

    Huang Mingli also asked people to spread the word among the people that if the Goguryeo army, Silla people, and Baekje people came over, the cheap land they rented would be taken back.  These people were frightened and actively joined the Sui army in order to defend their land. As for the previous Goguryeo government??long forgotten.

    Of course, Huang Mingli once asked his brother why he didn¡¯t like to divide the land, but preferred to lease it out as public land.  Huang Mingyuan said: "I don't feel bad about selling my land. If I didn't get it with my own hard work, I won't cherish it. If the land is distributed to them, within two years, some lazy people will sell the land again. This way  Annexation can never be prevented. Only leasing can increase their interest in working, because this is not their own land, and if it is abandoned, the government can take it back."

    Of course, the more important thing is that in Fengzhou, only soldiers could be granted land by military merit, so the soldiers in the army fought desperately to obtain their own land.  But if ordinary people can do it, then why do they need military service?

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s direct lineage is called Fengzhou lineage, not only because he was born in Fengzhou, but also because many of the systems implemented by Huang Mingyuan were established in Fengzhou and he gained sufficient experience.  It was the same this time. By leasing land at low prices, the Sui army had a group of supporters in Pyongyang.

    Huang Mingli also selected smart, capable and literate people from among these people, enriched them as local officials, and implemented the method of governing Goguryeo people by Goguryeo people.  In order to gain the recognition of the Sui army, these people were more vicious than the Sui army. Huang Mingli made these people be bad guys, while the Sui people were good people, and gathered more and more Goguryeo people under the Sui people's command.

    For barbarians, including the Goguryeo people, the biggest killer weapon is naturalization. Just like the yearning for the United States in later generations, this era is also filled with the yearning for the Central Plains household registration of all ethnic groups.

    Huang Mingli proposed that some people who supported, were loyal to or contributed to the Sui army could be absorbed into the Han nationality, which immediately attracted a group of Goguryeo traitors. These people tried their best to please the Sui army master, hoping to get a quota and change their identity.  .  Huang Mingli used some Han household registrations and was sought after by a group of elites.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    After Huang Mingli continued to suppress the upper class of Goguryeo and improve the status of the ordinary people at the lower class, it didn't take long for the entire city of Pyongyang to become a loyal and reliable vassal of the Han family.  When the officials wanted to resist the Sui people, they suddenly found that the old fools no longer listened to them.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
