The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Chapter 110 The choice of the Bingzhou gentry ([-])

And state.

As the matter further developed and the nobles were still in a dilemma, the Wang family of Jinyang and the Guo family of Yangqu took the lead to express their attitude.

First: For offenders who commit crimes, they will be expelled from the family tree. If the offender is brought to the governor's office, all the stolen money will be handed over, and the family will pay ten times the fine.

Second: Tenfold compensation to the family members who were violated.

Third: Hand over all the land, population, private soldiers, mineral veins and all the books in the main and branch lines of the family!
The collection of books is the heritage of the noble clan and the foundation for the noble clan to gain a foothold in the Han Dynasty!Through the "Confucianism" promoted by the central government of the Han Dynasty and land annexation, the gentry controlled the promotion channels of local talents and further expanded their influence in the local area.Handing over land, population, private soldiers, etc. will only cause serious damage to the family at most, but the centipede will not die. As long as the nobles have culture in their hands and the channels for promotion, then there is the possibility of bottoming out and rebounding.

However, handing over the collection of books is different. Handing over the collection of books means handing over the lifeblood of the family to others, which means that one's family will most likely disappear from the public in the future.

This matter was also discussed by Wang Rou and Guo Quan. Although it was very painful, it was the only way to prove loyalty to the lord.

The closer you get to him, the more you can feel the power of the lord. In the eyes of outsiders, this is a ruthless man who has great literary talent, but is too murderous and will retaliate.

But all this is just the appearance he wants people to see. The lord is actually a hero with a strategy and a long-term vision!
Wang Ze was in Shuofang and Guo Jian was in Wuyuan. They both felt that their lord had an extremely terrible political mind. In just two years, the border counties of Han Dynasty began to become wealthy. However, these policies were all unfavorable to the gentry, so the policies It was only carried out in the five Bingbei counties under his actual control. Now there is an additional Xihe County. The remaining three counties have only implemented part of it. Although it has an impact on the nobles, it is insignificant.

The Lord was wary and malicious towards the nobles, so Bingzhou began to separate military and political affairs from the very beginning when he took over. The prefect was in charge of the government, and the chief general was in charge of the army. Only people he trusted, such as Xu Rong and Huang Zhong, would capture him.

As nobles, Wang Rou and Guo Quan had a premonition that if they did not make a decision at this time and surrendered, they might become victims of the times in the future.

Others think this is a revenge against the Bingzhou nobles, but they can clearly say that this may be a step that the lord has planned long ago, and may have been planned since he first entered Bingzhou.

The nobles cannot defeat him!
Wang Rou can guarantee that the master definitely has a backup plan. Even if he escapes this time, he still has other ways to kill people openly.

Guo Quan also felt deeply, because when his lord came to Bingzhou, he used conspiracy to deal with foreigners, but it was all conspiracy to deal with nobles and powerful people. Once he said something wrong, he would be promoted infinitely. Originally, he only had to hand over the culprit. It's possible that everyone's heads moved because of one sentence. He wanted to kill Guo at that time. It was really not a joke.

The fourth and most cruel point is that the family branches are independent. Although everyone in the future is from the same branch, they are not from the same branch.

The first reason for weakening the strength of their own family is to eliminate Liu Han's fear of them. Even if someone is reused in the future, not so many people will stick together; the second reason is that in the future, if any clan member breaks the law, only that one will be dealt with. There is no need to bring disaster to the whole clan.

The pros and cons are very obvious, but the two families still reluctantly do it. This is equivalent to dismembering themselves, which is very dangerous in these troubled times.

The Wang family of Jinyang and the Guo family of Yangqu expressed their loyalty. As the lord, Liu Han naturally wanted to express his loyalty, "Send all the books to Master Zheng's academy. The person who committed the crime, depending on the crime, ranges from beheading to the Yi clan, and is an accomplice." He was dragged to build roads, but if he was not pardoned, the matter should be dealt with impartially."

(There are two interpretations of the three clans in history: one refers to the father's clan, mother's clan, and son's clan; the other refers to the three clans of father, brother, and son, here it refers to the first one)
"Here."

Liu Han was sitting on the mat with his eyes open, "Tell Guo Quan and Wang Rou that their two families are very good and Gu is very satisfied. There is no need to separate the families. Let them send the descendants of the clan to Xihe County to civilize the foreign races and at the same time provide A few people have come, and the prefects of each county have been purged, and there are a lot of people missing. Let them choose five as a family and draw up a list." Liu Han knew this truth well, so he avoided the fourth method and became his subordinates. people, give them a sense of superiority.

"Here."

When the news came, the two families finally let go of their worries. Although they suffered a lot of losses, most of them were saved in the end, and their efforts were not in vain. What they didn't expect was that for the first time, the lord had opened an attack on them, the nobles. Kouzi, this shows that the lord finally accepts them.

Weeping with joy!
No loss!

So he quickly arranged for the tribesmen who were not weak and old to go to Xihe County to educate the foreign tribes. At the same time, he drew up a list and handed it over to the lord.

Jinyang Wang family: Wang Xun, Wang Kan, Wang Hua, Wang Wei, Wang Song.

Yangqu Guo family: Guo Fan, Guo Zhao, Guo Jian, Guo Qi, Guo Lie.

The two families also recommended to Liu Han the most outstanding members of the clan, a total of ten of them.Liu Han first asked Jushou to conduct an assessment on them, and Jushou nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the Wang family of Jinyang and the Guo family of Yangqu were serious this time. Although the people they handed over were not great talents, they were indeed enough to serve as an assistant.

Subsequently, according to the individual's ability, he was assigned to each county, either as a county magistrate or as a county sergeant. The assessment period was one year.

"The two scholars sent to Xihe County this time, a total of 120 people, will arrive in three days. By then, Prefect Duan will have nearly [-] scholars and will educate nearly [-] people under the age of ten for a long time. Children of the original southern Huns.”

Hearing this number, Xi Zhicai was slightly startled, "These two families have spent a lot of money this time. Let's send out all the people in the clan who can be sent out."

"Yes, this shows that the lord has completely conquered both families."

As a noble family, each family had its own complete education system. However, in the Han Dynasty, due to backward technology and lack of educational resources, it cost a huge price to train a qualified intellectual. Even people like the Wang family of Jinyang and the Yang family The Quguo clan was one of the top gentry in Bingzhou, and there were only a hundred useful gentry in the clan. The rest were women, children and domestic slaves.

Therefore, by sending so many people from both families, it can be regarded as basically sending out all the members of the family who can be sent out except for the necessary internal personnel.

Liu Han walked to the small map on the side, picked up his pen and put a checkmark on the Yangqu Guo family and the Jinyang Wang family, "Let's do this for these two families."

"My lord is wise."×2
This map only shows the counties and counties in Bingzhou. There are no military secrets. However, each county is densely written with words. It is clear which county corresponds to which noble family and which powerful man.

Now, Liu Han has crossed out the two families, indicating that they have escaped disaster.

"The Mi family of Donghai, the Duan family of Wuwei, the Wang family of Jinyang, and the Guo family of Yangqu have completed their transformation and can survive."
