All Heavens Hongmeng Tree

As a subject, the most fearful thing is that the lord's relatives will mess up. If you encounter a sensible lord in such a situation, you can still restrain it.

But in this era, everyone is family-centered, and many people will promote him to that position even if they know that their relatives do not have that kind of talent.

In the end, you can only harm yourself.

Liu Xi said: "Let's listen to the information first, and then we will discuss the future behavior."

He ordered someone to call Liu Lu in and asked him to report the information he had inquired.

After Liu Lu visited him, he glanced at Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong with some hesitation.

Liu Xi said: "It's okay, these two gentlemen are my masterminds, and there is no need to avoid them."

The two bowed their hands to Liu Xi with emotion.

Liu Lu began to talk about the situation in Taishan County, from civil and military officials to local tyrants, to the economic farming situation in various places, and so on.

Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong looked at each other with a little surprise in their eyes.

They did not expect Liu Xi to have such a powerful espionage organization.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

This is because they still don't know that Liu Xi's spies are not limited to this county, but are spread all over the world, otherwise they will be even more surprised.

Following Liu Lu's speech, Liu Xi, Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong's expressions became serious.

Today's Taishan County is already dominated by the Xicheng family, and the rest of the family must rely on their breath to survive.

In the imperial court, the Yuan family served as a backer, and locally, while marrying other families, they exploited and robbed themselves to develop themselves.

Over the years, the Cheng family has penetrated into every aspect of Taishan County.

The officials in the entire Taishan County either came from the Cheng family, or were drawn by the Cheng family, and those who did not move closer to the Cheng family were all pushed out and retaliated.

Officials who came here from other places to take office, even if they did not join the Cheng family, would not dare to offend it.

There have been several officials with upright personalities who did not buy into the Cheng family. As a result, they either made various mistakes and were dismissed from office, or they were inexplicably killed by the so-called enemy family.

The army of Taishan County was also slack. Not only was there a shortage of troops, but its combat power was far less than that of the powerful private soldiers of aristocratic families.

That's it, the generals and commanders who control the army also come from various families.

In addition, there are two powerful Yellow Turban thieves roaming in Taishan County.

According to Liu Lu's inquiries, these rebels were not pure Yellow Turbans, but bandits and bandits supported by the Cheng family and other aristocratic families behind their backs.

They followed the Yellow Turban Rebellion and transformed their own private soldiers into the Yellow Turban rout.

In this way, people can be plundered in an open and fair manner, not only bringing wealth to their own family, but also training soldiers and attacking dissidents.

However, these are all speculations by Liu Lu based on the analysis of intelligence. Although almost everyone knows the secrets, there is no conclusive evidence.

After Liu Lu told all the information, he retired with interest.

He is very clear about his position. He is the eyes and ears of the lord, and is only responsible for inquiring about news. As for how to make a decision, he should not be the one who should betray.

This is also the way his grandfather taught him to be a servant and a minister.

Liu Xi tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, and pondered: "It seems that if you want to completely control Taishan County in your own hands, the first problem to face is the Cheng family."

Xi Zhicai said: "The lord, whether it is a righteous name or a military force, can completely control the entire Taishan County, why should you be afraid?

From my point of view, the general situation was directly crushed, and a group of inferior and mediocre officials were expelled and replaced by a group of cadres.

If the Cheng family cooperates, it is not unacceptable that the lord and horse will lead the way.

If you still want to be as powerful as before, and use the Shangguan, just destroy it! "

He came from a commoner, not even a poor family, so naturally he didn't like these tyrannical families with bad behavior, and wished they all died.

Chen Gong hurriedly persuaded: "Absolutely not!

People say killing chickens to warn monkeys, you are killing monkeys to warn chickens.

Wouldn't that put everyone in the major families at risk?

The world's aristocratic families are powerful, which one doesn't do this?

The difference is that some do more and some do less; some pay attention to etiquette and do it in a veiled manner, while others are ugly and show evil deeds.

If the lord does not have a good reason, he will destroy the Cheng family, I am afraid that it will make the world's family feel alienated.

What's more, the Cheng family had the Yuan family as their backing in the court, and in the prefectures, they bribery and made friends with Liu Dai, the prefect of Yanzhou.

My lord, Taishan County is under the rule of Yanzhou. Although the prefect is not as powerful as the state shepherd, he cannot offend him. "

Chen Gong himself came from an aristocratic family, of course, the interests of the aristocratic family must be considered.

In the original history, the reason why Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao was because Cao Cao was a genius and betrayed the interests of the family.

Cao Cao's killing of the famous person Bian Rang was the fuse of Chen Gong's betrayal of Cao.

Liu Xi never thought of completely suppressing the family. After all, he only wanted to conquer the world and accumulate luck, not to establish a dynasty that would not be easy for all generations.

In this era, there are very few talents who really rise from the common people, and [-]% of the talents in the world are in aristocratic families.

Moreover, the poor family is also a member of the gentry.
