Chengdu, on the north gate of the city, hang three heads.

Outside the city gates, stacks of heads lay on both sides of the street. These beheaded people all followed Jia Long, Li Yuan, and Cui He to raise troops and were eventually killed.

The heads are piled up like a small mountain, revealing a cold breath, which makes people feel a chill down their backs at a glance. Passers-by saw the mountains of heads, and felt that there were countless pairs of cold eyes staring at them, and their hearts trembled, especially the three heads hanging above their heads, which was even more terrifying.

This scene fell in the eyes of those who have a heart, and they know the deep meaning. As for the ordinary people, it is nothing more than seeing the white bones of the forest, which makes people chill, and they feel a little scary, but they don't think there is anything strange.

"Wheels! Wheel! ”

A horse-drawn carriage ran through the streets, through the city gates, and headed for the governor's house.

In the carriage, there was an old man wearing a navy blue brocade robe, this old man's name was Xu Han, a wealthy family in Chengdu, and the chamber of commerce under his command was all over Yizhou, which can be described as a wealthy family with strong strength. However, it was also because this person was flexible and good at judging the situation that he was not exterminated by Liu Yan.

Xu Han sat cross-legged, opened his slightly squinted eyes, and said softly, "Where are you?" ”

Outside the curtain of the carriage, the little guy sitting with the groom heard Xu Han's voice, straightened up, and hurriedly replied: "Master, the carriage enters the city, and in a quarter of an hour, it will arrive at the governor's mansion." ”

Xu Han said: "Hmm! Hurry up and arrive early. ”

The little guy arched his hand and said, "No! ”

The carriage fell silent again, becoming silent. Along the way, the carriage galloped quickly, and by the time the carriage stopped outside the governor's mansion, there were already six carriages outside the mansion. Three of them had already disembarked from the carriage and entered the house; Three other people had just gotten out of the carriage and were about to leave for the house.

The three of them walked together, and the leader was an old man, about the same age as Xu Han.

The three of them heard the horses pulling the cart screaming, looked back, and saw Xu Han's carriage stopped, and they all stopped and waited.

Xu Han opened the door curtain, and the little servant immediately brought a wooden stool and put it next to the wheel and asked Xu Han to come down.

"Brother Xu, you're a step late!" Among the three people waiting for Xu Han, the eldest elder saw Xu Han coming down and immediately greeted him.

This person's name is Wang Li, and like Xu Han, he is also a businessman, and his family is also one of the few big families in Chengdu. He, like Xu Han, was able to survive under Liu Yan's butcher's knife, but it was because he did not have the internal affairs of Cha Yizhou that he was saved and was not dealt with by Liu Yan.

It can be said that Liu Yan's massacre of the Yizhou clan solved a big problem for Wang Can.

Without Liu Yan sacrificing a butcher's knife and killing more than ten clans in Chengdu, Wang Can faced more complicated things. Even now, Wang Can is also facing many Yizhou clans, fortunately, these people are more responsible, and they don't have too much cha hands on Yizhou's internal affairs, and the people who were eliminated by Liu Yan are thinking about restoring the glory of the Yizhou clan, trying to overthrow Liu Yan, without this group of people, Wang Can will be more relaxed.

When Xu Han saw Wang Li, he laughed and greeted him, and arched his hand: "Brother Wang, it's polite." ”

These two people are very old, and they are people in their sixties.

After the two saluted, the two middle-aged people behind Wang Li walked up and arched their hands: "I've seen Xu Lao!" ”

Xu Han bowed his head slightly and nodded in greeting. These two middle-aged people, one of them is named Zhou Lan, because one of the family members is an official in Chengdu, and the family is small and powerful, so he can barely be regarded as a strong party. Another person named Bian Yi, who lives in Chengdu, belongs to the scholarly family, and is also one of the largest families.

Xu Han and Wang Li walked together and walked towards the mansion.

Zhou Ran followed behind the two and asked, "Elder Xu, Wang Taishou summoned us to discuss the matter, has Elder Xu ever found out?" ”

Xu Han glanced at Zhou Lan and said lightly: "Zhou Lan, the era of Liu Yan's rule has long been in the past, Zhao Wei, Jia Long and others have also been killed, and now the person who is in charge of the overall situation is not 'Wang Taishou', but 'Wang Yizhou', understand?" This man, you have to learn to judge the situation and change yourself, understand? ”

After hearing this, Zhou Ran's body trembled, and he immediately said respectfully: "Thank you Elder Xu for mentioning it, the younger generation has been taught." ”

Xu Han showed a teachable expression, nodded and said: "This time Wang Yizhou summoned us and others, the specific matter is not yet known, but in line with a reason: 'stick to the bottom line and cooperate with Wang Yizhou', this is the best policy." ”

"Thank you Mr. Xu for mentioning it!"

This time, not only Zhou Ran, but even Bian Yi also looked respectful.

Wang Li smiled slightly when he saw Xu Han teaching the two of them.

After entering the gate, he did not speak, and went straight to the hall of the governor's mansion. Outside the hall, Wang Can had already arranged for his attendants to receive the gentry who came. When the attendant saw someone coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile. Xu Han, Wang Li, Zhou Ran, and the little servants beside Bian Yi saw the attendant coming up, and immediately took out the famous thorn from his sleeve and handed it out.

The attendant checked and led the group into the hall.

Immediately, the attendant arranged for the four of them to sit down, and then left with the little servants around the four of them.

Among them, Xu Han and Wang Li are the oldest and have high prestige, and they are arranged at the front, sitting on one left and one on the right respectively. In the hall, three people had already arrived and were arranged to sit down. When the three of them saw Xu Han, Wang Li and others coming in, they all straightened up and nodded in greeting. Seven people sat in the hall, waiting for Wang Can to appear.

After a while, there was the sound of steady footsteps outside the hall.

The seven people followed the prestige, only to see Wang Canlong walking in.

Wang Can was wearing a black official uniform, a collared shirt, and the collar was inlaid with gold wires, revealing a sense of luxury. He wears a long crown on his head, beards on his lips, and a black beard under his chin, which is set off by a beard, which makes him look more mature. This is all because Wang Can has always grown a beard and has not shaved his beard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, be polite!"

Wang Can entered the hall, bowed his hand slightly, and immediately walked to the main seat of the hall.

After Wang Can sat down, the seven people in the hall all straightened up and shouted, "Meet Wang Taishou (Wang Yizhou)!" "Because there is no unified voice in the speech, it seems a little noisy.

Wang Can smiled, and his eyes swept over the seven people sitting in the hall. Seven people spoke at the same time, but they were different, Wang Canjian sat in the front, Xu Han and Wang Li, who were on the left and right, called Wang Yizhou, and the other three people also called Wang Yizhou, but there were also two people who called Wang Taishou.

Zhou Ran and Bian Yi had already been told by Xu Han, and they both called Liu Yizhou.

In addition, the person who called Liu Yizhou was a fat man, fat and slippery, with two fat Rou hanging on his face, and when his body writhed, he felt that the fat Rou on this person's face was trembling.

The other two people who called Wang Taishou looked at each other with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Wang Can smiled in his heart, judging from the title alone, he could see the wonders.

People who can judge the situation change their title immediately with the change of Wang Can's status. As for the other two people, although their names have not changed, it cannot be said that they have bad intentions, but it is only that these two people are not as smart as the rest of the people, and they do not know how to adapt to the times and change flexibly.

Wang Li bowed slightly, and arched his hand: "Wang Yizhou, I don't know what is the important matter to inform me?" ”

Xu Han continued: "As long as Wang Yizhou commands, my Xu family is willing to support it, and there is no other word." ”

There were two old foxes, Wang Li and Xu Han, who made a move, and the rest of the people spoke one after another, willing to support Wang Can. In fact, Xu Han's words were a bit exaggerated, but they revealed a message that he was willing to tie the family to Wang Can's warship.

The family is the root of this society.

Historically, Cao Cao used the Hanmen scholars to confront the family, but ultimately failed.

However, Cao Cao didn't figure it out, even if he used a Hanmen scholar to overwhelm the family. However, when Cao Cao becomes famous, the scholars of the poor family will be transformed into a big family, a new noble, a new big family. It can be said that as long as it is this era, it is impossible for the family to be destroyed.

The family is a double-edged sword, which can only be used rationally, and it is impossible to completely eliminate it.

This era is the age of the big family.

As for the royal court, it is the most powerful family.

Wang Can understood this truth, so he did not chase after him. During the reign of Hanzhong, Wang Can destroyed the Fang Ju family, shocked the Hanzhong clan, took the Hanzhong clan for his own use, and began to promote talented people in the clan to enter Hanzhong and appease the Hanzhong clan. Now, Wang Can has captured Chengdu, but he has not yet pacified Yizhou. He only killed Jia Long, Li Yuan, and Cui He, and did not connect with the rest of the family.

Wang Can looked at the people in the hall, thought for a while, and said, "Lords, there are two main purposes for summoning you here today. First, due to Zhao Wei's rebellion, more than eighty percent of Chengdu officials were shot by Zhao Wei's archers, which led to a crisis in Chengdu, which was difficult to maintain, and it was necessary to recruit talented people from your families to fill the vacancy. ”

"Huh?!"

When everyone heard this, they exclaimed in surprise, with an incredible look in their eyes.

Recruiting talented people from the family to fill the vacancies is a pie in the sky, a step to the sky.

However, Xu Han also understands that things can't be so simple.

Wang Can, who commanded Yizhou, was not a bad person, and it was impossible for him to sell his official position in Chengdu to the people sitting in the hall just to show favor to the Yizhou clan. Moreover, what Wang Can needs is talents, and it is impossible to throw the appointment of an official position to a person who is illiterate, and he must be evaluated.

Xu Han arched his hand and said: "Wang Yizhou, I don't know what the second purpose is?" ”

Wang Can glanced at Xu Han, and secretly said that this old man was steady, which made Wang Can impressed.

He glanced around, and the cacophony of voices in the hall immediately stopped and vanished.

Wang Can said with a smile: "The second is because Liu Yan sent a large army to fight Hanzhong twice, with countless casualties, barren fields, poor people, and soaring prices, making it difficult for the people to live. I have decided to reduce or reduce taxes, and at the same time unify the prices of Yizhou, and the prices of all grain will be arranged by the government for the time being, so that the people can relax. ”

In troubled times, there are solutions to troubled times.

The people were poor and had no money to buy grain, so Wang Can had no choice but to adopt a planned economy and forcibly suppress rising prices to give the people a way to live. In times of peace and prosperity, it is impossible for the government to forcibly determine the price of grain, and the only way to do so is to determine the price according to the investigation and coordinate the handling.

When Wang Li heard this, the evaluation of Wang Can in his heart rose to a new level.

Those who have attained the Tao will be helped; Those who have lost their ways are helpless!

The so-called winner of the hearts of the people wins the world, Wang Can temporarily unified the price of grain, considered the livelihood of the people, and was called the lord of benevolence and righteousness.

This kind of practice is beneficial and harmless for Wang Can, but for the big families present, there is a certain loss. However, Wang Can threw a big radish in advance, so that everyone could not refuse, once he refused, it was impossible to enter the officialdom of Chengdu, which was an exchange of interests, and also tied these families to Wang Can's chariot.

Seeing that everyone was pondering, Wang Can asked, "Princes, what do you think?" ”

These seven people are all quick-minded people, and they immediately arched their hands and said: "I am willing to drive for Wang Yizhou!" ”
