Chapter 70: Timing

"Lord!"

As soon as Yuan Shu's words fell, Gu Yong stood up: "Is it too anxious to do this?" This law violates the Han system and is easy to cause others to attack! And the gentry of the family will also be dissatisfied with this! ”

Looking at Gu Yong, who was upright and upright, but his tone was a little weird, Yuan Shu was happy in his heart.

Gu Yuan sighed, he was really a wonderful person, and this hand was really ingenious.

When the other strategists saw this scene, they also smiled in their hearts. Gu Yuan sighed, it's very smart!

On the surface, Yuan Shu was ruthless, and said in a deep voice: "I want to go to Luoyang this time, so you all know why." It is a big deal for the princes to ask for Dong, and these are inconsequential little things, and the other princes must have some scruples, and it is impossible to come to me for Yuan Shu's trouble because of this matter. ”

"Besides, it is precisely because all the princes of the world have gone to the alliance, that is, someone dares to risk the disapproval of the world to invade my Yangzhou, in the case of most of the princes in the alliance, it is estimated that only Jingzhou is likely to attack, and you can always defend the power of a single state, right?"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately stood up.

He understood that as the Taishou of Yuzhang County, which was adjacent to Jingzhou, opposite was the Huang family, a second commodity hostile to Yuan Shu. If Jingzhou attacks, the first target is probably himself.

Kneel on one knee in front of Yuan Shu.

"Please rest assured, Liao will be cautious and guard Yuzhang, if Yuzhang is lost, Liao is willing to die to apologize!"

Yuan Shu looked at the calm and steady Zhang Liao with satisfaction. He was inconspicuous before, but now he is beginning to show his edge, and his style of action shows the demeanor of a general. With him stationed in Yuzhang, with Huang Zu's reckless man, he will definitely not be able to take a step into Yangzhou.

Zhang Liao's talent as a commander is counter-warfare, and when his own forces are less than the opponent's, he will arouse the courage to break a cauldron and sink a ship, and his combat power will continue to increase. The greater the disparity in troops, the higher the combat power increases, and it can be said that it is the nemesis of a large number of non-elite troops.

In history, Zhang Liao was able to break Sun Quan with 7,000 people, which is enough to see the power of this talent.

It was also because Sun Quan was careless at the time, and there were no capable generals and elites around him, so he was beaten to the ground by Zhang Liao.

Under normal circumstances, the strength of Zhang Liao's army is not too strong, but if he encounters a large number of rookie opponents, the strength of Zhang Liao's army can far surpass Sun Jian in an instant.

With such a powerful talent coupled with Zhang Liao's steady character, isn't it more than enough to deal with a Huang Zu?

"Wen Yuan is joking, I have confidence in you! You are a handsome talent, why should you worry about a mere Huang Zu? Then there is another arrangement, you step down. ”

Zhang Liao looked grateful and retreated into the queue.

"With Wenyuan Town guarding Yuzhang, Jingzhou doesn't need to worry, who can invade my Yangzhou?"

"And those families, Yuan sigh, as a member of the Gu family, you must understand that although I have slightly suppressed your family, it is not that I have not given you benefits!"

Yuan Shu's face was gloomy at this time: "My decree this time did not directly harm the interests of the family, but only restricted the ownership of the land. ”

"These families have made a lot of money in the past six months, right? Insatiable greed is not a good thing! The family has enough land and wealth, and should be content. In all fairness, aren't they far more wealthy in business than they are in rent? Why do you want so much land? Rebellion! ”

In the end, Yuan Shu knocked on the table heavily, and suddenly tea splashed.

Everyone in the audience saw Yuan Shu angry, and knelt on the ground in unison and said, "The lord is angry!" ”

Yuan Shu saw that the people below were so cooperative with the performance, and he praised it in his heart, and they were all good actors.

waved his hand and asked the civil and military forces in the audience to sit back.

On the surface, he still looked extremely angry: "Yuan sigh, tell the heads of those families." They've been greedy enough, and I won't give less to what I should have given them, but I can't take what I don't want to give! Don't be insatiable, otherwise if you violate my bottom line, you will disappear from Yangzhou directly! ”

Gu Yong looked sad and replied, "Yes!" ”

Yuan Shu seemed to calm down some of his anger and lay back in his chair again.

It's not that Yuan Shu is impatient, but this time is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The princes of the world are ready to concentrate in the Tiger Prison, and few people have the time and energy to pay attention to this place in Yangzhou. And now it happens to be the time when Yangzhou is initially prosperous, and the family is about to emerge again.

At this time, the family had just acquired a large amount of land, and there was a lack of population, and it was time to make ends meet. Yuan Shu proposed the policy of land reclamation at this time, which happened to not harm the current interests of the family, and the family's willingness to resist was smaller.

If it is delayed any further, even if it is only in half a year, with the development speed of these families, in their absence, I am afraid that they will be able to encroach on another three or four million hectares of land in half a year.

After all, land and population are resources that will never go out of style, and no one is too much. These families just don't need it, and they want to stock up on more for future generations.

But the land is not endless, even if there is a lot of fertile land that can be cultivated in Yangzhou, it will not take a few years to be exhausted.

At this time, it was the turning point when the family had just recovered, and it was also the best time for Yuan Shu to restrict and initially transform the family.

Yuan Shu only led more than 30,000 troops to Huimeng, and the main force remained in Yangzhou, and these families couldn't jump up at all.

Therefore, Yuan Shucai decided to issue the decree of recovering the land at this time.

And the second decree is a reminder and a suggestion from Yuan Shu to these families, and it is also a compromise.

Don't think about the land, I can't give it to you anymore. If you want to make money, if you want to maintain your high position, then take control of commerce, farming and handicrafts!

Yuan Shu's signal has been clearly expressed, that is, to force the family to transform. From control of land and knowledge to control of resources and wealth.

It is too dangerous to control the land and knowledge, and it can completely subvert the rule of the ruler, just like the usurpation of the throne by Sima in history, which Yuan Shu must not allow.

It was impossible for Yuan Shu to put the land and officials that were the lifeblood of the country into the hands of the family.

The system of the Han Dynasty is already relatively good in Yuan Shu's opinion, but it is still forced to a dead end countless times, if it were not for many wise emperors, it is estimated that it would have fallen long ago.

is such a powerful man, but he is still forced to a dead end by the family. Land may not be the most fundamental reason, but it must be one of the most important.

Yuan Shu really wanted to try to stop it.

With the most critical people's hearts, land, officials, and army in his hands, Yuan Shu did not believe that he could not forge a thousand-year-old dynasty.

Jiangdong's people's hearts and army Yuan Shu have basically been held in their hands, and the official Yuan Shu still needs a long time to cultivate before it can achieve initial results, and now and even for a long time in the future, the family and the Hanmen will be needed to rule the territory under their command.

However, fortunately, there is not a single heart between these families and the Han Sect, and Yuan Shu can take advantage of the conflict of interests between them and their respective selfishness to temporarily disintegrate them.

As for the land, although Yuan Shu can't fully recycle it now, the minimum restrictions can still be achieved.

Yuan Shu is not in a hurry now, so it is okay to take his time. As long as the family's land can be reduced or not increased, it will no longer be a problem in the heart of the family.
