"Hmph! This system is pretending to be dead just for the sake of the host..."
The system regained its vitality, and said in a arrogant imperial sister's accent: "The host is currently too weak, so I don't know the details. When the host finds He's Bi, he will naturally have further understanding..."
"Weak!? Are you trying to make me laugh?"
Liu Hao was completely speechless and clicked on his attribute values.
Liu Hao has 94 force, 85 intelligence, 85 politics (Xuzhou Mu, Langyahou bonus), 84 command, and 105 charm.
If you add in the increase in various magical weapons and equipment, Liu Hao's current strength is said to be the best in the world, and there is absolutely no problem!
"Forget it, system, remember to get the rewards for the fifth step of the hidden mission as soon as possible, and the delayed compensation rewards must also be included!"
Liu Hao muttered to himself, and his thoughts returned to reality.
When Liu Hao mentioned taking action against the nobles in Xuzhou, all of Liu Hao's men fell silent, mainly because they were afraid that Mi Zhu and Chen Deng would be embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, actually stood up and clasped his fists: "My lord, the opinions raised by several military advisors are very pertinent. The power controlled by the nobles is indeed enough to pose a threat to the stability of Xuzhou. Please
The lord has made a decisive decision to disband the armies of all major noble clans!"
Mi Zhu was actually smiling bitterly in his heart. For Liu Hao, he had tricked himself this time...
After hearing this, Chen Deng also stood up and said: "My lord, what Military Advisor Wen Ruo said is right, and what Mi Zizhong said is absolutely true. If internal worries are not eliminated, Xuzhou will still be the Xuzhou of the nobles, not the lord's Xuzhou!"
If Xuzhou Mu was replaced by Tao Qian, Chen Deng would definitely adopt an ambiguous attitude and muddle through.
But since Liu Hao was his recognized master, Chen Deng was willing to sacrifice some of his family's interests to fulfill Liu Hao's interests.
After all, Liu Hao was extremely benevolent to him. Not only did he make him Prime Minister, but he also made him military counselor, which was equivalent to pulling Chen Deng into the inner circle of think tanks...
"Haha, Zizhong and Yuanlong know the general idea very well. I thought about it, why not adopt a compromise plan?"
Liu Hao's thoughts changed and he said: "Deploy 70% to 80% of the 10% of the family soldiers of the major noble clans and turn them into soldiers of the county and state responsible for farming."
"In this way, each major noble clan can still retain a certain degree of self-defense ability. When there is no war, these people can also play a role in increasing food reserves for the army..."
"My lord is wise! This plan can not only weaken the power of the nobles to a certain extent, but also enhance our army's logistics capabilities. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"
The eyes of Liu Hao's think tanks lit up.
With their intelligence, they can figure out the key points with just a quick thought.
The counselors all bowed to him and looked at Liu Hao with admiration.
...
The task of dealing with internal problems was related to subsequent rewards. Liu Hao did not hesitate and put it directly on the agenda.
Today, the more powerful nobles in Xuzhou were gathered at the martial arts field outside the city to rectify the strength of the nobles' family soldiers.
Mi Zhu stood on the steps of the high platform of the martial arts arena outside the city, bowed and said, "My lord, the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Mi family are all here now!"
He saw Liu Hao's face was calm and majestic.
Wearing the Seven Seas Dragon Armor, his eyes as profound as the emperor's sky slowly scanned the Mi family soldiers in the audience.
"Zixuan's growth is getting more and more amazing... He is now so unfathomable that people can't see through it at all!"
Mi Zhu was slightly shaken in her heart and said: "My lord, all the soldiers of the Mi family are obeying your orders, lord. The other noble clans have also brought their own soldiers!"
"There are actually... so many private troops!"
Liu Hao looked at the dense crowd of family soldiers in the audience, not only from the Mi family, but also from the Chen family, the Cao family, the Zhao family...
A family may only have a few hundred or thousands of soldiers.
But when dozens or hundreds of family soldiers from large and small families gather together, the scale becomes quite impressive.
"Lord, the number of soldiers from all clans below the stage has been counted!"
Cao Shaoqin rolled up his cloak and walked quickly to Liu Hao's side.
"How many people are there?"
Liu Hao frowned and asked.
"My lord, the Mi family has more than 11,000 soldiers, the Chen family has 4,300 soldiers, the Cao family has 1,270 soldiers...all added up, there are more than 19,000 soldiers in total.
people......"
"Holy shit, did you make a mistake? There are so many?!"
Listening to Cao Shaoqin's report, Liu Hao suddenly hissed and gasped!
The total number of these soldiers was almost the same as the official troops of Xiapi City under Tao Qian's rule, which was beyond his imagination.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was indeed dominated by the gentry. The power of the gentry was so powerful!
Liu Bowen and Liu Hao thought of going together. Yushan covered his mouth and whispered: "My lord, the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain. It is necessary for the major families to reduce their number of soldiers today!"
"Yes, let's do as we agreed!"
Liu Hao's eyes were as cold as iron, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said:
"Now, a large part of these people will be broken up and reorganized to become new soldiers in the field. They will train and participate in farming at the same time. A small number of those with stronger physical fitness can inject fresh blood into our army!"
What he is doing now is to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in his rear!
Otherwise, if his foundation is not stable, if these noble families have second thoughts and collude with foreign enemies, Liu Hao's backyard will be set on fire.
The series of efforts in the past few days were not in vain.
All of this is to pave the way for today's temptation of the noble clan by Liu Hao.
Anyone who stands up to object will be the target Liu Hao will deal with next.
"Zizhong, I will definitely remember the sacrifice you made today!"
Liu Hao patted Mi Zhu heavily on the shoulder and said gently: "In the future, I will definitely organize a grand wedding for Zhen'er, and the Mi family will also gain its due status!"
