Sun Jian was about to find Zhang Zhao, but Zhang Zhao came.

Sun Jian received the news from Kuaima. He was a little confused. He didn't know why Sun Ce attacked the Cai family as soon as he arrived in Xiang County. Although he had passed by Xiang County several times, he had nothing to do with the Cai family. He did not interfere with the rivers, and he had never heard of the Cai family provoking Sun Ce. What's wrong?

Zhang Zhao was somewhat mentally prepared. At the end of September, the county's plan was completed, and Xiang County's household registration, land reclamation and taxes were significantly reduced. There was no war in Runan this year, and most counties had recovered. This kind of situation was usually the local tyrants who were greedy and unscrupulously encroached on the land, took away the farmers' land, and forced the farmers to become his vassals, rented his land, and collected high rents but did not pay taxes.

Sun Ce had planned to attack the Yuzhou family. Now that the war in Yanzhou is over, this matter will naturally be put on the work schedule. He just didn't expect Sun Ce to be so anxious and would attack the Cai family as soon as he landed on the shore.

However, Zhang Zhao was relieved to learn that Sun Ce only controlled the Cai family and did not destroy the family as Xu Shao said, and was very dissatisfied with Xu Shao's actions. Aren't you spreading rumors? However, from another perspective, with Sun Ce's careful work, Xu Shao still got the news so quickly, which is enough to show that the relationship between the powerful and powerful is complicated, and it can affect the whole body.

Although it was a little uncomfortable to attack Sun Ce if he didn't inform him, Zhang Zhao also knew that this was no longer something that he, the prefect of Runan, could control. Sun Ce would also consider him if he didn't inform him, so as not to make things difficult for him.

"Since that's the case, please don't hesitate. Let Wu Zhou and others rush over immediately."

Xu Shao did not go back to his yard, but went directly to Xu Qian. Xu Qian was practicing guidance in the yard, wearing a snow-white single dress, with a soothing movement and a calm expression, with a bit of outrageous aura. Xu Shao could see it for a moment, and the anxiety in his heart inexplicably dissipated a little. He bowed his hand and stood quietly aside, watching Xu Qian practice slowly.

After a while, Xu Qian took a slight breath and then turned around. Xu Shao followed him and sat down in the hall. Xu Qian wiped his forehead with a piece of cloth squirting slightly, and said with a smile: "I looked like this early in the morning. What happened?"

"Hey, news came from Xiang County that Sun Ce captured Cai Yang and killed people. Now that the Cai family manor has been controlled by him, I'm afraid there will be more danger."

"Isn't Sun Ce just back? It's a day. I've just arrived in Xiang County for less than two days?"

“Just arrived yesterday.”

"So quickly?" Xu Qian was also a little surprised, but was not in a hurry. He slowly folded the bupa in his hand and stuffed it back into his sleeve. "Are you worried that he would do this to all the aristocratic families in Yuzhou?"

"Can't it?"

Xu Qian glanced at Xu Shao. "What kind of person do you think Sun Ce is, a reckless and ignorant martial artist?"

"Isn't it?"

"If this is true, then what are you going to worry about? The Sun family has only more than 30,000 soldiers, and hundreds of families in Yuzhou. If he really wants to offend the public, he will be full of war and rebellions in an instant. He is exhausted and unable to take care of himself. How many days can he have a foothold?"

Xu Shao remained silent. Their brothers were called Pingyu Erlong. He was famous for hosting Yuedanping, but he knew that Xu Qian's knowledge was not inferior to him. When encountering difficult things, he still liked to come to Xu Qian to discuss. After hearing Xu Qian's words, he did not feel a little relaxed, but became even more uneasy.

Sun Ce is indeed not a reckless and ignorant martial artist, Sun Jian is the only one. Sun Jian killed Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, but he was unable to gain a foothold in Nanyang, and his general Liu Xiang was even attacked and killed by the people of Nanyang. After heading to Yuzhou, he attracted experience and lessons, but he was also afraid to do anything. But Sun Ce was different. Not only did he control Nanyang, he did not stay idle in Yuzhou for just a few months. Except for Runan, several other counties and countries have been controlled by him. Now it is Runan's turn.

This person has a very well-organized work, but I don’t know if it is his own idea or the suggestions of Zhang Hong, Guo Jia and others around him. Speaking of which, Sun Jian has been in the industry for so many years, and there is no counselor around him. Sun Ce has only debuted for a year, but he has recruited several famous scholars in succession. Even people like Zhang Zhao are willing to drive him. It can be seen that his methods are extraordinary and he must not be regarded as an ordinary warrior.

I underestimated the enemy a little. Xu Shao secretly regretted it.

"Then how should we deal with it?"

"Don't worry, let's see when he will be rampant. When he reveals his flaws, he will be angry and fight back." Xu Qian shook his sleeves. "Our Xu family has not paid less taxes this year, right? Have the population of the vassal tribe reported?"

Xu Shao looked embarrassed and stammered. When Xu Qian saw him, he shook his head repeatedly. "Zi Jiang, you are so arrogant. When is this time? You still can't bear to bear that little money? Is my Xu family short of that little money and food?"

Xu Shao blushed. "Brother, I was negligent for a moment and forgot to take care of him."

"What are you waiting for? Go and do it quickly." Xu Qian patted his forehead. "It's all my fault. I didn't remind you in time. I hope it's not too late. Go and go quickly. Wait." Xu Qian suddenly called Xu Shao, thought for a while, and stomped his feet. "Make up all the owed things in the past five years, no, ten years."

Xu Shao was shocked. "Ten years?"

"That's right, ten years, make up for the ten years of vacancies, and then hand over all the extra land and household registration."

Xu Shao took a deep breath. The ten-year shortage was already a huge sum of money. If you hand over the extra land and household registration, the Xu family's property would shrink at least half. He looked at Xu Qian and couldn't believe his eyes. "Brother, what you are practicing is not guidance, but fasting, right?"

"Your Majesty, if you stop breaking, you will suffer from chaos. If you are not willing to bear it, you will cause trouble."

Xu Shao opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, so he had to bow his hand and leave in a hurry. Xu Qian watched Xu Shao disappear outside the middle gate, frowned, and sighed. "This son is no longer confused, why are he becoming more and more confused? A gentleman waits for the opportunity to do things, but he has not yet reacted. This day is about to change, and if he doesn't follow the heavens and responds to others, how can he protect him forever?"

Xu Shao returned to his yard and asked someone to take the account book. He calculated the account according to Xu Qian's requirements. The more he calculated, the more he felt pain. The Xu family had a great business and had a lot of expenses. Not only did he raise so many guests, but he was overwhelmed with us. If Xu Qian said, he would give out the taxes owed for ten years, the Xu family would have no surplus grain. He would hand over the extra land and household registration. The Xu family would lose more than 60% of the money, which would turn from Pingyu's first family to an ordinary portal. There might be no problem with his own life, but once there was something big, he would be in a short position.

More importantly, Sun Ce just captured a Cai Yang, and the Xu family was so panicked. Isn’t it too weak? What would Sun Ce think of me, and what would others think of the Xu family? If they all learned from the Xu family and surrendered without fighting, wouldn’t Sun Ce succeed?

Xu Shao thought about it but still couldn't bear to let it go. He decided to stop and see the situation before talking.
