Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 74: The aristocratic family and the powerful counterattack

When he first heard the influx of [-] tenant farmers, Liu Bian's first thought was: Where did these tenant farmers come from?
Liu Bian's second thought was: Nanpi County reluctantly accepted the [-] tenant farmers from the last time. Before they could fully digest them, they rushed to send them away again... This was a private agreement. ? !
Or: just a coincidence?
Isn’t that right? ——All the tenant farmers in Nanpi County should be here. How could there be another 10 people?

Could it be Zhang Yan's side...?
His heart moved, and he quickly denied: If Zhang Yan wants to hand over someone, he must have an appointment document issued by Luoyang City?It can be seen that at present, let alone the appointment documents, there is not even a messenger in sight!

therefore……?
He was thoughtful.

After thinking for a moment, he blinked, came back to his senses, and subconsciously aimed at Yuan Shu.

When Yuan Shu first heard about the influx of tens of thousands of tenant farmers in Nanpi City, his face turned green as he recalled the scene of staying up late to register... Fortunately, Yuan Shu was considered a man who had experienced strong winds and waves, so he only lost his composure for a moment and then recovered. calm.

After cupping his hands, Yuan Shu said: "Your Highness, do you want to take a look?"

Liu Bian did not answer the question and asked: "He Xian, do you know where these tenant farmers come from?"

He Xian shook his head and said: "I don't know! I just sent people to see off Mr. Shi, Zhang Dasi and others. When I returned, I saw a crowd of people outside the city. It doesn't look like they are from Nanpi County."

"It seems that the other party is really an outsider?" He murmured, waving his hand, "Let's go and take a look."

So, he led everyone, such as Yuan Shu and Shi Yue, as well as five guards and five retainers, to the high ground of Nanpi County.

It is said to be a highland, but in fact it is the gateway to Nanpi City.

It's a pity that this door is so dilapidated.

The ruins made Liu Bian suddenly think: When Nanpi County becomes rich, it will be time to repair the city gates and walls.

Now, though, that's clearly not the point.

The point is: he stood on the high ground and looked ahead, and he really saw the dark crowd of tenant farmers semi-surrounding the entrance to Nanpi City - no, no, no!Said to be tenant farmers, Liu Bian felt that they were more like refugees, extremely poor and poor!
The reason why the tenant farmers did not dare to break into the city was because of He Miao——

He Miao led 120 cavalrymen to guard the front steadily, preventing the tenant farmers from approaching!
Because of He Miao's general aura, he intimidated all the tenant farmers, so that they did not dare to rush in and out.

But I heard the tenant farmers shouting: "Let us enter the city quickly! We are really tenant farmers, and we have the land deed to prove it!" "Didn't I say that the governor of Bohai loves the people like his sons? Is this the way to love?" "Don't I thought there was nothing we could do to you if you were stuck here... It made us angry, believe it or not, we directly charged at your Nanpi City!"

Bah bah bah, the tenant farmers shouted rudely to He Miao and hundreds of cavalrymen.

He Miao warned with a cold face: "You are not allowed to act rashly before His Highness the Governor comes! Otherwise, I will kill you regardless of whether you are a tenant farmer or a commoner! Please think carefully before you act!! "

The effect of the threat was immediate: the tenant farmers were extremely resentful towards He Miao and his party, but they really did not dare to commit any crime.

Therefore, the two sides reached a stalemate.

Upon seeing this, Liu Bian understood that the tenant farmers were not from Nanpi County, but outsiders.

——I really didn’t expect that there would be so many migrant tenant farmers coming to Nanpi County... What are they looking for?

Liu Bian couldn't laugh or cry and thought to himself: Although it is good to have a land deed, the land deed is not from Nanpi County!Even if you want to farm, you don’t have suitable land?Furthermore...

Tilting his head, Liu Bian thought of a possibility.

"...Your Highness." At this moment, Yuan Shu's voice sounded, "Are you planning to accept these tenant farmers?"

Raising his eyebrows, he asked, "What do you think of Yuan Jijiu?"

Yuan Shu pursed his lips and suddenly said: "Your Highness, I have some ideas, and I don't care whether I want to talk about it or not." "You have already said it, so why don't you talk about it? - Talk about it!" He demanded decisively.

Yuan Shu then said: "Your Highness, I suspect this is a conspiracy."

Ok? !

Not only Liu Bian, but also Shi Yue looked over in surprise.

Yuan Shu said: "Being able to send [-] tenant farmers at once shows that the other party is not just one person, but has been discussed in advance, and the other party is a wealthy or powerful family... If His Highness accepts this group of tenant farmers, I am afraid that Nanpi County There is not enough land for cultivation. Once the population limit is reached and it cannot provide enough shelter, what will happen if the tenant farmers are dissatisfied? On the contrary, if His Highness drives away the tenant farmers, His Highness's reputation may be ruined, and the world will say that His Highness He is ruthless and unworthy of being a king! It was His Highness who did not provide accommodation to the tenant farmers, which resulted in them being forced to wander and wander to death——"

After listening to Yuan Shu's analysis, Liu Bian felt a chill in his heart and said in shock: "This...is it really what Yuan Jijiu said, is this the so-called "conspiracy"? "

Moreover, this conspiracy is quite insidious: it is Liu Bian who wants to suppress aristocratic families and powerful people, free the tenant farmers, free them, redistribute their fields, get rid of their shackles, and live a good life... This idea has great impact on the suffering people of Li. For us, it should be a dream, right?

The aristocratic families and powerful people were unlucky, as they were all included in Liu Bian's suppression list.

Assuming that Liu Bian's actions go smoothly, the aristocratic families and powerful people will no longer occupy the land of the tenant farmers, and they will no longer be able to exploit the tenant farmers... Theoretically, the aristocratic families and powerful people will be effectively weakened.

However, what about the facts?
The fact is: the aristocratic families and powerful people realized Liu Bian's plan, actually listened to Liu Bian, cooperated with Liu Bian, took the initiative to let the tenants go, and returned the corresponding land deeds to the tenants.

The only difference is: these tenants are not tenants in Nanpi County, and this land is not land in Nanpi County.

This resulted in the following: the outside tenant farmers were destitute and had to enter Nanpi County with land deeds that were like waste paper. They would share the land resources equally with the local tenant farmers in Nanpi County, and they would also accelerate the depletion of the land resources that Liu Bian had finally accumulated. supplies and food... Unless the migrant tenant farmers return to their original hometowns, this group of migrant tenant farmers will do more harm than good to Nanpi County!
Are these the aristocratic families and powerful people?

Is this the counterattack of aristocratic families and powerful people?
The aristocratic families and powerful people will openly welcome Liu Bian, which can be described as a harmonious group, but secretly set a soft nail for Liu Bian... As long as Liu Bian is not careful, his future will be ruined!
After all, Liu Bian was the eldest son of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, even if he was not taken seriously by the Emperor of Han and was not established as the prince... he was so inconspicuous that he seemed not worthy of anyone's attention - let's see what would happen if he really made a mistake. ?
At that time, being ostracized and ridiculed by the nobles was considered a minor matter!
The most terrifying thing is that now, Liu Bian still can't find fault with the aristocratic family and the powerful: he is the one who asked the other party to hand over the tenant farmers and the land deeds, isn't it? ——The other party handed over obediently, so why is he still dissatisfied?

Pursing his lips, he calmed down and looked at Yuan Shu. He first looked at Yuan Shu with stunning eyes: Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, don't you see that your head is pretty easy to use? ——Sighing lightly, Liu argued:

"Based on Yuan Jijiu's thoughts, what are you going to do?"

Yuan Shu said: "How about sending him back to his hometown?"

——Sorry, I misjudged you!This suggestion of yours has brought you back to your prototype again!

Shaking his head, Liu Bian said: "Why send the other party back to his hometown? - Do you know where the other party's hometown is? What if it is in a far away place? 10 people! Not ten people, not a small number... …”

"Your Highness!" Yuan Shu said anxiously, "These tenant farmers must be from the surrounding areas of Nanpi County, not far away at all! Your Highness, please think again! Based on the land capacity of Nanpi County, Nanpi County really cannot accommodate another wave of 10 Tens of thousands of people!”

"Since we can't live in it, why not expand it? How big of a deal is that?" Liu Bianfeng retorted lightly.

"W-what?!" Yuan Shu was stunned and almost bit his tongue.

"Expansion?" Shi Yue's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood, "His Highness's idea is great! Looking at the entire Bohai County, it belongs to His Highness! His Highness wants to connect Nanpi County and neighboring counties into a whole , so why not?”

The most important thing is: Bohai County has eight counties, and it seems that none of the eight counties has county magistrates - cough~ there were county magistrates originally. Ever since Zhang Yan led the Yellow Turban Army to take control of Bohai County, the county magistrates... just They all ran away!

Therefore, Liu Bian went beyond the county magistrates and threatened to knead several counties together, and there would be no problem!

With a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, Liu Bian won the approval of Shi Yue and even everyone present. He took a slight step forward and shouted with all his strength:

"Everyone!! This king is the governor of Bohai!! Who are you? Where are you from?! Why are you coming to Nanpi City?!"
