Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 382 Butcher Knife
"Headache...headache..." Zhang He only felt a headache when he saw the imperial edict. He also served as governor of Bingzhou. As a result, the military and political affairs of Jizhou and Youzhou also fell into his hands.

To put it nicely, he thinks highly of him; to put it worst, there may be bad people in the court who are deliberately flattering and killing him.

But if there is a problem, then there is really no problem.

Jizhou and Youzhou were basically harmed by Lu Bu and Yuan Shao. Gongsun Zan was not good at managing money. During his time in power, most of the power in Youzhou fell into the hands of local wealthy families.

Thanks to Gongsun Zan for not proclaiming himself emperor, otherwise he would have ended up in the same situation as Liu Yu and become someone else's puppet.

The wealthy families in Youzhou need to be liquidated, the people in Jizhou need to be appeased, and supplies and soldiers are mobilized to the front line.

Jizhou was handed over to county soldiers and county soldiers to maintain stability. Bingzhou was left with [-] soldiers to guard it, and Youzhou was left with [-] soldiers, but none had enough experience.

So Zhang He was asked to serve as commander, since he was also General Pingbei anyway.In this way, no matter Qianzhao or Zhang Liao, they can guard one side.

When will my resume be uploaded and I will officially take over?

Judging from the current situation, there is indeed nothing wrong with the appointment by the court.

"Who is the governor of Youzhou and Jizhou?" Zhang He asked casually.

"The governor of Jizhou is Zhen Yi, and the governor of Youzhou is currently Yan Pu. Zhen will only serve as governor for one or two years." Xun You came back and was naturally responsible for handling these miscellaneous things.

There were not enough supplies to appease the people of Jizhou, so Zhen Yi was appointed as the governor.

It was up to him, a local wealthy family, to communicate with other wealthy families and temporarily intervene to appease the people.

There is also the intention of returning home in glory. Now those who are better informed know that Zhen Yi is planning to be promoted to the position of Chief Agriculture Officer.

Just talking about the governor, if Zhou Mu is equivalent to the regional general manager, the governor is also equivalent to the supervisor.

The names are similar, but the power is much different. Even the power of the governor is not as good as that of the local governor.

But things are different now. Liu Bei has enhanced the power of governors in various states, allowing them to be truly responsible for the political affairs of each county.

Of course, it is only government affairs, and it does not have military power, so as to distinguish it from the state pastoralists.

In fact, during the late Han Dynasty, local governors were equivalent to state pastors without military power.

After more than ten or twenty years, all states have almost become accustomed to this, and Liu Bei just made it regular.

Now it is clear how much power the governor has and how much power he has.

Beyond this range, it is also convenient for the prefects of various counties to report.

The main reason is that when there is no transgression, they have no excuse not to cooperate with the governor in governing politics.

Back to the topic, Zhen Yi will come over, at most by the end of next year, and will probably be transferred back to Chang'an the year after that to serve as the chief agricultural officer.

The governor of Youzhou has not been changed. Originally, Yan Pu was the interim governor, but now he continues to serve.

Not surprisingly, he served there for the next three to six years.

"That's alright. As long as Jizhou comforts the people and maintains local security, there will basically be nothing wrong with it." Zhang He replied.

The only purpose is to find some excuse to liquidate the wealthy families who are close to Yuan Shao and Lu Bu.

If we don't eliminate some old forces and promote the redistribution of resources, how can the people below get benefits?

The Boling Cui family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Zhongshan Zhen family, and the Changshan Zhang family became the biggest beneficiaries.

The Zhang family of Changshan is the family to which Zhen Yi's wife belongs, and the Zhang family of Zhongshan is their collateral line.

The Zhang family came forward to take care of the food for the Zhen family and the maintenance of Zhen Yi's property after she became an official. She used the channels of the Zhang family in Changshan and Zhongshan to help take care of it.

Not to mention the intelligence on Jizhou's side, Zhen and Zhang also contributed a lot, and now it's time to reap the rewards.

Not to mention the Zhang family and the Su family in Zhongshan, Liu Bei naturally remembered the kindness of Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, and named their sons Langguan, repaying the gifts tenfold.

Without them, the rebel army would not even have many war horses.

"Then don't be idle. Before winter comes, be a bad guy!" Zhang He rubbed his hands.

Looting homes and exterminating clans can become addictive if you do it too much.

Not to mention fixed assets such as land and houses, displaying all kinds of floating wealth and food will create a great visual shock.

Especially for those families that are hundreds of years old, their wealth is even more abundant.After all, to maintain such a large family, you also have to support a lot of nursing homes, domestic slaves and offerings.Not to mention the exchange of favors, where should we not spend money?
Anyway, for them, spending one penny and earning three penny back is fine.

Not to mention in troubled times, if you spend a penny to go out and don’t make ten penny back, that’s considered incompetent.

It's true that they bet on the right person, but now they bet on the wrong person, so no wonder Zhang He Wuqing.

Select the three officials and officials of Zhao Han, and then investigate the local wealthy families who support Yuan Shao.

Depending on the severity of the case, a light fine may be imposed, and the direct descendants may be arrested and may be released after a few years of hard labor.

Serious confiscation of homes and genocide, according to Zhang He's habit, everything is serious.That is to say, the lightest one is at least the Yi tribe.

Scold them, whatever they want!
Zhang He doesn't care about reputation. He used to have to run a business before becoming an official, but now it's not good if his reputation is too high.

Regardless of whether the guys in the court wanted to praise him or not, Zhang He planned to use this opportunity to taint himself.

For a time, Jizhou and Youzhou were filled with rivers of blood, and many people were sold into slavery.

In the end, Liu Bei couldn't stand it anymore, and issued a decree that fined him a year's salary, suspended his power to interfere in the government affairs of Jizhou and Youzhou, and warned that if this happened again, he would directly remove him from the post of governor, and the matter came to an end.

"Brother, this won't work!" Zhang He sighed as he looked at the imperial edict.

Let’s just say that among the princes and princes in this court, who are still living on their salaries when they are in this situation?

Let's just say that his property, all added up, can probably cover the imperial court's taxes for a year.

Since you don't live on salary, then the penalty thing is meaningless.

Unless you learn from the pre-Qin Dynasty, you will be punished directly.

It doesn't matter if he is confiscated as Marquis of Xiangcheng, especially since his own fiefdom is in Yunzhong County occupied by Xianbei. If he doesn't conquer it and then manage it well, even if he is granted the title of Wanhu Marquis, it will be meaningless.

Zhang He also hoped to directly depose him as the governor, but Liu Bei did not do that and only suspended his power to interfere in government affairs.

So what if it just stopped? Can the rolling heads of Jizhou and Youzhou still grow back?
Besides, all the heads that should be chopped off have been chopped off, so it won’t be his turn to intervene in what happens next.

Therefore, this punishment is just a guarantee that he will not take action against the remaining wealthy families to the maximum extent possible.

On the one hand, it is an explanation to the local wealthy family, and on the other hand, it is also a reminder to them that they may still take action.

We are not fools, so we naturally keep our tails between our legs and be a good person. Some of the negative remarks about Zhang He completely disappeared a year ago.

The people complained everywhere when they were too idle. This year, under Zhang He's leadership, most of the people were allocated their own fields.

As the actual beneficiary, Zhang He almost had to be given a shrine.

After handling the affairs of Jizhou and Youzhou, Zhang He was about to return to Bingzhou, and Zhen Yi stayed with him for a drink.

"Dadao, I will return to Chang'an next year. The appointment has been issued and a certain person has been appointed as the chief agricultural officer." Zhen Yi said with a smile at the table.

"Congratulations to Brother Zhen!" Zhang He congratulated.

It was a bit unexpected that Zhen Yi went back a year in advance.

"Jizhou has been at peace, there is nothing to worry about. The rest can basically be solved by relying on the prefects of each county." Zhen Yi replied.

Zhang He was too cruel, but he also solved the most difficult part in one go.

He doesn't need to take action on the remaining trivial matters.

The main concern is that the remaining wealthy families cannot deal with Zhang He and will blame themselves.

After all, he is from Jizhou, and Zhang He slaughtered local wealthy families, and you didn't come out to persuade him.

Liu Bei probably transferred Zhen Yi back out of protection.

"Dadao..." Zhen Yi looked at Zhang He, "I plan to let Yao'er come to your door. No matter where you go from now on, take him with you!"
