Shuhan

Seeing that Liu Chan had made up his mind, a bitter look appeared on Du You's face.

His brows were furrowed, as if carrying unspeakable worry and helplessness.

Those deep eyes revealed helplessness about the situation and worry about the future.

The corners of his mouth drooped slightly, forming a desolate arc, which seemed to express the heaviness and bitterness in his heart.

"Prime Minister."

Du You turned to Zhuge Liang with a look as if asking for help. The latter pretended not to see Du You's expression and stepped forward and said to Liu Chan: "There must be a charter for the redemption of a son of a wealthy family."

Between the Han countries, all parties have their own interests and needs.

Yizhou faction, Jingzhou faction, Dongzhou Shi, Yuancong faction, and now a Guanzhong faction is added.

From the perspective of the stability of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang must accept the Guanzhong gentry.

But accepting the Guanzhong gentry does not mean condoning the Guanzhong gentry.

After the recapture of Chang'an, the political center of the Han Dynasty inevitably shifted from Chengdu to Chang'an.

It is difficult to move to the homeland, and the power of the Yizhou local faction will definitely be attacked.

They, the Jingzhou faction, moved again and again, and it was not easy for them.

Although the Guanzhong Plain is large and the population of Guanzhong is large, it is inevitable that the new forces entering Guanzhong will compete for interests with the original Guanzhong gentry.

Be it land or population.

As outsiders, you, the Guanzhong gentry, shouldn't you first come to honor the elders of the Han Kingdom?

Disadvantage is a blessing.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t suffer a loss, you can’t get nothing!

If you do this, what will the high-ranking gentry officials who migrated from Jingzhou and Yizhou and Yuan Cong's confidants eat and drink in Guanzhong?
If the Guanzhong gentry wanted to enter the center of power in the Han Kingdom, there was no doubt that they would need to give up their benefits.

The problem now is that they are unwilling to give up the benefits.

is the reason
Among those present, only Du You firmly opposed the oppression of the Guanzhong gentry.

Because he is one with the Guanzhong gentry.

Some of the others don't want to delay important matters and want to put them off until later.

But if you don't solve some things now and admit them, you will have to keep looking for excuses if you want to solve them in the future.

Besides
Turmoil has its benefits.

When Guanzhong is pacified, it is difficult to destroy an entire family, but killing a few people will cause an uproar.

But not now.

In the mountains and fields, bandits are rampant.

The Wei army was defeated and scattered all over Guanzhong. Whose Wubao was defeated, and whose family was exterminated by bandits. Isn't this normal?

Do it!

Do it now!
"To replace one person, it would cost a thousand mouths, ten thousand hu of grain, thousand bolts of cloth, or millions of money!"

"Sigh~"

When Du You heard this, he took a breath of air.

As far as he knew, the number of captured children from various families was probably in the hundreds.

Converted into grain, that would be millions of grains. There is not so much grain in Guanzhong now.

It turns into a population, which is hundreds of thousands of people.

Where do these people come from?

"Your Highness, I'm afraid the family will not give in."

These aristocratic families are all stingy, and it would be more uncomfortable to make them bleed than to kill them.

Liu Chan grinned and said, "Give them ten days first. After ten days, they will naturally understand."

"Cao Zhen is still on the right side to support the wind. Your Highness, if you do this, I'm afraid it will increase the power of the thieves."

"Humph!"

Liu Chan snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a murderous aura that was too thick to dissolve.

"If he dares to help Cao Zhen, he will die and his family will be destroyed!"

Before Cao Zhen was defeated, Liu Chan might have been worried that the Guanzhong gentry would make peace with Cao Zhen and secretly undermine the situation in Guanzhong. But now that Cao Zhen has been defeated, his vitality has been severely damaged. Even with the full support of the Guanzhong gentry, it may be difficult to cause any trouble. coming. The nobles are very realistic, and most people can see the situation clearly.

a small number of people
If you don't understand, then your land, property and population will have to be taken back.

"If it can be completed in full, and there are no descendants of the clan in the captive camp, ten of the descendants can be moved to the martial arts hall and two to the prince's palace."

Liu Chan and the Guanzhong gentry were like two parties doing business.

As a buyer, Liu Chan naturally has an advantage in transactions.

Liu Chan was not satisfied with the business list submitted by the Guanzhong gentry last time. Now, he is launching a new transaction.

Consent
I, a big man, will accept you and after you submit, I might as well give you some benefits.

Sending his children to the martial arts hall and the palace of the Crown Prince was a sign of goodwill from Liu Chan.

If you dare to violate it.

The death of the body and the annihilation of the clan are right before our eyes!

The Guanzhong gentry have never been monolithic. After the division and disintegration, Liu Chan will annihilate all of them, and the other Guanzhong gentry who have benefited will not say anything.

There are only so many resources in the world. With a few companies missing, their room for development will be even greater.

There are only a few people in high positions above the court. If there are a few less people, there will be fewer competitors.

"This" Du You looked embarrassed, but still said bravely: "I will definitely share your worries for His Highness and persuade other nobles."

The Jingzhao Du family has now completely moved to the Han Dynasty, and he has also been promoted to the position of Shizhong. No matter what, he has no other choice.

Du You still knew clearly which was more serious, offending other nobles or offending the future emperor of the Han Dynasty.

"Very well, let's issue the edict!"

The edict issued in the crown prince's womb was like a drop of water falling into boiling oil, immediately causing an uproar inside and outside Chang'an.

Chang'an City was a place where nobles gathered together. Even the nobles in the most remote places in Guanzhong all had some property in Chang'an.

There are even some eloquent people from the clan sitting in the midst.

"Isn't the Han Kingdom a heavenly army? Why do the heavenly soldiers come to compete with the people? Then Liu Gongsi is so famous, greedy and cruel that he can rival Dong Zhuo!"

Some people were so angry that they directly compared Liu Chan to Dong Zhuo.

But they only dare to complain in their mouths and dare not actually take action. These people do not pay money or trust people, and choose to wait for the situation to change before making a choice.

"The Han State is strong and the Wei State is weak. Guanzhong will definitely belong to the Han State from now on. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Money, silk, population, and external possessions are nothing more. When you occupy a high position in the new dynasty, these things will come back."

Some people choose to accept it.

This kind of people are relatively sober. Now when facing the Han Dynasty, they are undoubtedly like a worm shaking a tree and an egg hitting a stone.

The advantage of the family lies in its talents.

When the influence of the Guanzhong gentry increases, his treatment will naturally be better.

The younger members of the family have ascended to high positions in the new dynasty. What benefits can they seek to bring to the family?

There are also some people who really want to use weapons.

"Then Liu Gongsi really thinks that I am a bloodless man in Guanzhong? It is simply unreasonable to treat our Guanzhong gentry like cattle and sheep, cutting off their flesh and taking their hair at will! Dignity is gained by fighting, not by compromising. Cao Zhen is still in Guanzhong, and together with him , let Guanzhong return to the embrace of the Wei Dynasty, and make the Wei Dynasty great again!"

There was no way. During the rebellion, they invested too much in Cao Zhen. As a result, there were too many children in the family in the prison camp. If they were exchanged at Liu Chan's price, the family would really go bankrupt.

They were cornered and had no choice but to fight back.

And at the same time.

Right Fufeng.

Liu Feng reined in his horse and stopped on the hill, looking at Wubao not far away, his eyes gradually narrowed.

Behind him, an elite army with well-equipped armor, as well as ladders and other siege equipment were ready.

Tonight, he will become a 'bandit' and destroy a whole clan of nobles!

Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.

Dare to rebel against my big man's world?

Dare to disobey His Highness's orders?
come on!

Come and taste the iron fist of the big man! (End of chapter)
