The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 205 Luo Yuan talks about the new policy, Liu Huan feels something

"Well, it's normal for you to worry about this. After all, our army's slogan is to eliminate the nobles, distribute the land equally, and let the people live in peace!" Luo Yuan said in a friendly manner.

Liu Huan's face darkened. What he feared was coming true. "My Lord, what crime have we, the nobles, committed?"

"You have oppressed the people, you have controlled the local area, you have imposed heavy taxes, what are your crimes? You dare to say you don't have any of the crimes I have mentioned? You, the Liu family, are local tyrants, you don't respect the government, right? Don't you have private assassins?"

Liu Huan nodded and didn't dare to say anything!
Of course they do have these. As long as they are from the noble families, they cannot escape. Everyone is the same. If they don’t oppress the locals and levy heavy taxes, how can they get rich!

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "But you don't have to panic. If I wanted to eliminate you, I would have done it long ago. Why would I wait for you to come to me? I won't see you either. I will just kill you!"

That's right!
Liu Huan immediately perked up. Since Luo Yuan was willing to see him and talked so much to him, it meant there was still hope.

"Please give me some advice, my lord!"

"I will destroy the nobles, this will not change. So if you nobles don't want to be destroyed by me, you must become new nobles who are in line with the interests of our army, understand our military philosophy, cooperate with our army, and support our army. What I want to destroy is the old noble families that have been cultivated for a long time since the Han Dynasty!"

Luo Yuan was not afraid to tell the other party, but was afraid that Liu Huan would not be able to digest it for a while, so he specially explained what the old aristocratic families were: "The aristocrats are also human beings, and they are bound to make mistakes. But as long as they are transformed into new aristocrats that meet my requirements, I am willing to accept them!"

Liu Huan's mind was like a mess and he was unable to react.

Luo Yuan said: "First, you have to hand over your land. The Military Command can buy it from you. You nobles can keep enough land for yourselves to eat according to the number of people. If you don't know how to farm, you can rent it to the people. However, the rent cannot exceed the regulations of the Military Command. You have to pay taxes and are not allowed to control the land. In short, you are no different from ordinary people!"

Are they still aristocratic family?

Liu Huan reacted immediately and said quickly: "My Lord, please be merciful. The reason why our noble family is where we are today is not because we oppressed the people. It is also because of the hard work and accumulation of our people. To be honest with you, my Liu family is originally the bloodline of the King of Changsha and a relative of the Han Dynasty."

"What's wrong?" Luo Yuan turned around and looked at Liu Huan!

The relatives of the Han royal family are not valuable!

How could Liu Bang's descendants not have many offspring after being passed down for hundreds of years?
The Han royal family is just a signboard. The Dahan Limited company is almost finished, okay? And you tell me this?

"I had dinner with the emperor, and he wanted to marry me a princess from the royal family, but I flatly refused." Luo Yuan said with a smile, "I told the emperor that the reputation of the Han princess was too bad, and the emperor just smiled awkwardly and did not dare to refute. Do you think you are a relative of the Han family, so powerful? How about I ask the emperor to send a princess from the royal family to you? You think you are Liu Bei, and you can get by with the signboard of being a relative of the Han family!"

Liu Huan looked at Luo Yuan dumbfounded. Xu Shu and the others were even more surprised. "The Lord actually rejected the Princess of Han?"

"Yes, oh, this is not a glorious thing. I have never told you that the emperor wants me to stay in Xuchang and is willing to give me a lot!"

"What a pity! If the lord could marry a Han princess, he could conquer the world!"

"cut!"

You know shit. Am I the kind of person who needs to rely on women to get to the top? Luo Yuan rejected the emperor’s kindness, of course the main reason was that the Han princess was not good-looking.

If she were like Wen Ji or Cao Jie, she would have accepted it with pleasure. But how could a princess in her thirties still look good? She is just a young boy.

Liu Huan certainly didn't want to use the Han royal family to threaten Luo Yuan: "Sir, that's not what I mean. What I mean is that the Liu family's land was originally granted by the King of Changsha. We didn't rob the people of their land. We have also reclaimed some of it over the past hundred years to get to where we are today!" "That may be the case, but a hundred years is such a long time. Who knows if what you said is true?" Luo Yuan looked back at Liu Huan and smiled, "I know you are here to inquire about our army's new policy today. I will tell you. The land will be divided according to the number of people. Each person will have five acres of land. The excess must be given out. The General Military Office will not take advantage of you and can use copper coins to buy your land. If you lose your land, you can do business."

Liu Huan thought for a moment, looked at Luo Yuan and said, "Is that the only way?"

"This is our army's new policy. Supporting and cooperating with it is the first step for you to become a new noble family. Otherwise, you will end up like Jiangxia. If you don't cooperate with us, you will be our enemy. We will deal with our enemies like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves."

Luo Yuan smiled gently and said something truly terrifying.

'

If you don't cooperate with me, there's no point in me being polite to you.

Luo Yuan thought for a moment and whispered in Liu Huan's ear: "The fish in the Yangtze River turned white. I knew what you did. I didn't deal with you right away, but I gave you face. You should think about your future. I think you are smart and talented. You should think about your future."

Liu Huan wiped a cold sweat and said, "You are going to kill my whole family, what else should I consider?"

But he had to consider it!

After all, Luo Yuan did not kill people as he did in Jiangxia, but left a way out for the local nobles. He was even willing to use copper coins to buy land, which seemed quite fair.

Liu Huan was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. He felt that he had encountered a dilemma that he had never encountered before. He didn't understand why Luo Yuan was unfriendly to the gentry.

Doesn’t Luo Yuan need the nobles?

But Du Mao and Shi Tao are both members of the gentry, and they seem to be living a good life under Luo Yuan. So it seems that Luo Yuan does not really want to completely eliminate the gentry.

Transformation?
Suddenly, Liu Huan thought of the word that Luo Yuan said. He didn't quite understand the meaning of this word, because there was no word "transformation" in the writing of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it included "改" and "造".

Change from the old, create from the new, change the old into the new!

Liu Huan felt that he had grasped the key point, and had a sense of excitement as if he had discovered new knowledge: "What exactly do you mean by the word transformation?"

Oh!
The young man is pretty good. He grasped the key point right away. It turns out that his brain is not in vain.

The big head is indeed full of wisdom.

Luo Yuan said, "Zi Lan, you are indeed extraordinary. Reform is what I mean by changing the old into the new. Dynasties can change, but the nobles cannot. We should adapt to the times and keep pace with the times. This is reform."

Liu Huan was stunned. You have so many new words. I almost don’t know them all.

Luo Yuan briefly explained it. He couldn't explain it in detail as he didn't have the time. If Liu Huan wanted to know, he could ask Xu Shu and others, or he could go to the propaganda team to take a look.

"If Zi Lan doesn't mind, you can go to the Propaganda Department and help out there. You will gain something from it," Luo Yuan said.
