The Yin family in Yanling suppressed the ancestral property and was the pastor and guardian of Xiangya. When he was in Hedong, he had a good relationship with Liu Han, so he did not conflict with the army during the purge of Yingchuan. Although he was reluctant to the New Deal, he still accepted it.

The Yanlingtangxi clan, "Customs" says: "Wu Fugai went to Chu and sealed Tangxi, because he took it as his clan."

Tangxi Hui studied from Gongyu, and it was recorded in Gongyang Chunqiu.

Tangxi Dian, courtesy name Bo Bing, was a scholar of Eastern Han Dynasty. In the fourth year of Xiping reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Dian, Cai Yong and others established the text of the Six Classics and set up a stone outside the Taixue Gate.

Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. For Cai Yong's sake, the Tangxi family still stayed in Yingchuan, but all the things that the gentry should hand over had to be handed over.

The Li family (Li Ying family) in Xiangcheng was exterminated.

So what about the first of eight heroes?
That's what the nobles do to put money on their faces, but I, the royal family, don't recognize it.

When troubled times come, everyone must reshuffle their cards. If they dare to oppose the big man, they must be prepared to be killed.

Killing one person is considered a crime, killing ten thousand people is considered a hero. If you slaughter nine million, you will be called the hero among the heroes.

Liu Han didn't mind killing more innocent souls with his sword, because he found that only if they were more ruthless, shameless, and lifeless than the nobles, they would speak nicely when facing him, instead of pointing their nostrils to the sky and being arrogant.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, Cao Cao organized an armed force of 5,000 people in Chenliu to prepare for a crusade against Dong Zhuo. It was at this time that Zao Zhi defected to Cao Cao's command, and together with Cao Cao raised rebel soldiers to confront Dong Zhuo.

"..."

The same was true for Zao Zhi. Liu Han cherished his talent and was asked if he was willing to surrender. However, he got an answer that he was not very satisfied with.

Later, Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, took over Yanzhou as a herdsman, and appointed Zao Zhi as Dong'aling to guard Dong'a. During this period, he and Han Hao suggested setting up farmland, and the court would lend cattle to the people for farming, and harvest them according to regulations. rent. Cao Cao adopted this suggestion and appointed Zao Zhi as the captain of the field. Under his rule, he recruited people to work in the fields and built water conservancy projects. He harvested tens of thousands of grains that year.

The Chu family of Yangzhai was a relative of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, an official in the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties, and a famous family in medieval times. (Chu, served as General Andong in the Western Jin Dynasty and Chu Suiliang, Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty)
The Chu clan in Yangdi now is far less prosperous than it will be in the future. It is just a small local clan, and Liu Han is too lazy to kill.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. First, Lu Bu launched a surprise attack on Yanzhou, and then there was a drought that occurred once in a century. The harvested grain was wasted before it could even warm up.

Then, he shook his head and said, "Gu is still too kind."

Yangdi Zao's surname was changed from Ji by his ancestors.

After finally surviving the severe drought and locust plague, Liu Han directly invaded Yanzhou and Zao Zhi became a prisoner.

He had never paid attention to this group of prisoners who would rather die than surrender. They were nostalgic for their master and were determined not to surrender. Liu Han could only let them stand and then defeat them one by one.

"A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses his master to serve. The king is a hero of the world, and I am willing to surrender. I am willing to surrender!"

This time, Liu Han made sufficient preparations to show his sincerity. He led someone with a knife and asked him in front of his parents, wife and children if he was willing to surrender. Zao Zhi's attitude changed 180 degrees and he was moved. He had to cry bitterly and express his willingness to surrender.

After repeated confirmation, Liu Han finally felt relieved and ordered his men to take the knife away from the necks of Zao Zhi's parents, wife and children.

Liu Han asked tentatively: "Stop struggling? Show your loyalty to Cao Mengde?"

"I... I call those who know the current affairs a hero!"

One sentence silenced everyone present.

Zao Zhi knew that Liu Han had a bad character, but he never thought that he would be so bad.

Who would have thought that he would threaten you with the lives of his entire clan in front of you?
If he didn't surrender, it would be fine to just kill one of his own. It would be considered as a sign of loyalty. Zao Zhi could guarantee that if he dared to say no, Liu Han would definitely kill the entire Zao family in front of him, and then kill himself. He has really done this!

Gentleman's integrity?

It's nothing under the circumstances!
However, because of this, the Yangzhai Zao family survived. The Zaoji people went north to Yanzhou and were responsible for the farming work in Yanzhou and Qingzhou. They redistributed the large amount of newly acquired land and made the best use of it.

The Handan clan of Yangzhai is a branch of the Zhao family of the Jin Dynasty official. They take the fiefdom of Handan as their clan. The clan members are good at calligraphy and compilation and engraving.

The current head of the family is named Handan Chun, also known as Zishu. He is famous for having written three volumes of "Laughing Forest" and one volume of "The Book of Arts". He is known as the "ancestral of the laughing forest". He has been talented since he was a child, erudite and good at He writes articles and understands "Cang, Ya, Chong, Zhuan, Xu's character refers to", and many people around the world know his name.

However, during the Chuping period, Handan Chun took his people to avoid disaster in Jingzhou. Now that the clan land is vacant, Liu Han takes it all. If they come back to seek reason in the future, Liu Han believes that they will speak nicely when facing him.

The remaining families, such as the Yingyang Ji clan, the Jiaxian Zang clan, the Jiaxian Cho clan, the Jian clan, the Ping clan, and the Shentu clan, which were not large in size, were also purged.

Yingchuan, one of the three major gathering places of the Han gentry, was purged by Zhao Yun with iron and blood methods for more than a month, which made the entire Han gentry feel terrified.

The world is in chaos, and when heroes rise together, there will be a destiny.

The nobles originally thought that this was a carnival for them to overthrow the Liu family and divide their power. Unexpectedly, Liu Han appeared halfway and tried to turn the tide for the Liu family, and also used iron-blooded methods against the nobles.

When Liu Han unified the Han Dynasty, although the nobles survived, they would be extremely weak.

Fight back!

Must fight back!

But they are in an embarrassing situation again, how to fight back?
The gentry under Liu Han now only have an empty name. Without the resources to control ordinary people, they only have some so-called reputation in the countryside.

Although there were gentry members among the county magistrates and prefects, they only had administrative power and no military power. Only then did they feel the horror of the separation of military and political affairs. In the future, only the emperor would be under the control of the military and political power of the Han Dynasty.

The army is used to ensure local security so that they do not dare to rebel; the army's logistics and supplies are controlled by government decrees, and the army is prohibited from doing business. The military becomes a pure profession, and many restrictions on the deployment of troops prevent it from becoming someone's private soldier.

As for public sentiment?

Liu Han was hated by the gentry, but his reputation among ordinary people was soaring. He gave them land, houses, money, and knowledge, allowing them to change from a state of being hungry and cold, exchanging children for food, to what they are now. No worries.

Although the land is not privately owned by them, there are many restrictions on its use. For example, it cannot be traded privately, it cannot be abandoned for several months, and it must pay rent every year... But to be honest, didn't it happen when I was a tenant?

As for the rent, it can only be said that it is pitifully lower than before. The Ding tax has been changed to a field tax, and the family has a surplus of food every year.

After the chaos, the Liu family gained more popularity among the people, and a large number of ordinary people became vested interests. The nobles could not point fingers at Liu Han from the moral high ground, let alone fool ordinary people into confronting him.

Those families that oppressed ordinary people in the past, no matter how much family property they handed over, it was useless. Once they were found to have committed a crime, they would be dealt with in accordance with the law. Those who committed serious crimes would be punished by the whole family.

As the largest noble family, Liu Han knew them very well. Which family was not glamorous on the surface but dirty behind the scenes? Even the Liu family has too many black sheep.

Therefore, in these years, Liu Han also dealt with a large number of Han clan members who had corrupted the name of the Liu family, and he was more ruthless than he dealt with the nobles.

Many people privately said that Liu Han was too cruel and would not even tolerate his relatives, but Liu Han's reply was very direct: "It is Emperor Gaozu's job to not forgive them, and what I have to do is to send them to see Emperor Gaozu. "(End of chapter)
