Le Jin surrendered, and Sima Yi and Sima Fu disappeared with four corpses. The two major forces in Hebei had no support. They had no generals to fight, so they surrendered one after another. The four major families surrendered, and the remaining little shrimps
Naturally, the little crab did not dare to do anything wrong. It could no longer gather strength. Wherever the Dragon Army passed by, they surrendered one after another. Those who were short-sighted attacked and attacked without leaving any trace behind. The rest no longer had the courage to resist. The Dragon Army
Occupy Hebei.
Although Hebei was nominally occupied, the government and scholars also surrendered. However, Hebei was not as peaceful as imagined, and all the hatred accumulated over the years could not be wiped out in an instant. The third-rate bandits, refugees, and hooligans were
The most difficult problem in Hebei has been solved. After years of disasters, people across Hebei have risen in rebellion. How can they, who are used to living a happy life, be controlled by others? There are also those refugees, Cao Cao's soldiers who moved north to the south of the Yellow River.
They are not the only ones on the river. There are thousands of family members who follow the army with their families. Rogues are the most difficult to deal with. They usually keep to themselves, but the arrival of the Dragon Army seriously threatens their survival. This group of people
Then they got up and made trouble. As the saying goes, it's easy to hide from an open gun and hard to guard against a hidden arrow.
Long Fei occupied Hebei and also carried three big burdens. It is easy for the refugees to say that the problem of moving to their ancestral home is not a big problem, and all they consume is food and grass. Now the Long Army has no shortage of anything. Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Yongzhou have had good harvests year after year, and the people are growing food.
The enthusiasm of the government is very high, and the government purchases it every year. It is military ration during wartime, and it can be used to stabilize prices in peacetime. There is almost no food fluctuation in the Tianlong Empire. There is no problem in giving some to let these refugees go home, not to mention Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou
Various places are also stepping up reforms, and the refugees are eager to go home and live a better life.
As for the bandits, those who can be persuaded will be dealt with by force, and those who cannot be persuaded will be dealt with by force. Most of these people are from ordinary people, and they go to the mountains and weeds just for a bite of food. Except for those die-hards, no one wants to be the target of the government. Not to mention the biggest bandit Chiang Kai-shek.
Gui is already dead, and there is no one who dares to compete with Long Fei's army. It is only a matter of time before they can be dealt with.
The gangsters are different. They seem to be the most ruthless, but in fact the support behind them is very powerful. Some have existed for hundreds of years. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty moved powerful people from various places to Chang'an, it was to control the local gangsters.
Centralize management so that it does not leak out of your hands. These powerful people are more or less related to the local aristocratic families, and these aristocratic families are very involved, and if one of them is touched, it may cause unnecessary trouble.
Long Fei thought about it again and again but could not be cruel. It cannot be said that gangsters are unique to Hebei, they are also found in other places. They are all found in Jingzhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou and other places. At that time, Long Fei was young and vigorous, and all his generals were also
It's all because I am alone. If I do something, it will never involve me. It's different now, all kinds of relationships are complicated. Even if Long Fei has this idea, those gangsters will know it soon.
For example, there is a family in Xindu. The head of the family is named Wang, and everyone calls him Wang Guiren. In the past, during the Wei Dynasty, he held nearly 20% of the land near Xindu. The family raised hundreds of servants, and all of them were full of evil.
After Long Fei arrived in Hebei, Wang Guiren immediately donated his land and started doing business in the streets of Xindu. However, the family still raised hundreds of servants.
Wang Guiren had a daughter who married the son of Xindu Ling. Xindu Ling was the hero who opened the city gate and let the dragon army enter the city. He excelled in the examination of the Political Council, so he continued to be Xindu Ling. Xindu Ling
Ling is a good official, who enforces the law impartially and has a clean mind. However, he only has one son, and the whole family shows weakness and treasures. Xindu Ling's brother-in-law took the daughter of the Zhang family of Fan Yang. The head of the Zhang family of Fan Yang was originally Liu Yu's general. During the Gongsun Zan period, they united
The Wuhuan people attacked Gongsun Zan and became brothers with Liu He. After Liu He's death, he took Liu He's sister as a concubine. In this way, he was also a relative of the previous dynasty. The former emperor Liu Xie and Long Fei were brothers, and they married
They are both Cao Cao's daughters. A distant nephew of Fan Yang's Zhang family is the nephew of Xia Houyuan's aunt. All in all, after all the relationships have been calculated, Long Fei is related to this royal nobleman.
On weekdays, Mr. Wang is polite to others, but if someone offends him, he will never live a good life. There is a family in the west of the city. Seeing that Mr. Wang’s cloth business is doing well, he opened a shop opposite Mr. Wang’s shop. Originally, Mr. Wang’s cloth business was doing well.
Competing with each other is a good thing for buyers. Unexpectedly, a fire broke out within two days of opening, and all the people and the store were destroyed. After the government investigation, it was determined that it was a fire. But everyone knew that it was Wang Guiren who was behind the trouble.
When Long Fei heard about this, before he could say anything, Xin Du Ling came first and handed over the various physical evidence of the investigation to Long Fei. Long Fei looked at it for a long time and found no flaws. This was the only way to deal with the matter first.
When Long Fei had this idea, Wang Guiren was extremely restrained, and Xindu City seemed to have turned into a paradise overnight. Wang Guiren donated money and materials, repaired government offices, roads, and funded children who could not afford to go to school.
After going to school, he instantly became a benevolent king. Many people even went to the Yamen to volunteer to add Wang Gui as counselor to Xindu.
It was such a person. What could Long Fei do? It was impossible to order his death and confiscate his home, and it was even more impossible to let him harm the countryside. But he couldn't ignore it. The whole of Hebei was originally a must-have place for wealthy families to escape, and countless people gathered here.
With so many aristocratic families and powerful people, how to deal with them has become the most difficult problem.
Long Fei thought about it for half a month, but to no avail. Li Ru understood Long Fei's difficulties and took the initiative to find Long Fei: "Your Majesty, the aristocratic family is the mainstay of the Han Dynasty, and powerful people are attached to it. To deal with these powerful people, we can only start with the aristocratic family.
"
"Wen You has a good idea?" Long Fei straightened up quickly.
Li Ru shook his head: "The family is deeply rooted and has been living like this for hundreds of years. It will last forever. It may be difficult to shake them."
"I know it too! But until this matter is completed, the world will not be stable!" Long Fei looked at Li Ru: "Not to mention, our empire is already on the rise, and new aristocratic families are being formed."
Li Ru smiled: "Has Your Majesty ever thought of splitting up these aristocratic families?"
"How to dismantle it?" Long Fei got a little closer to Li Ru.
Li Ru thought for a while: "This is what I think. If officials are not allowed to do business and business people are not allowed to be officials, power and money will be completely separated. Our country has a strict official selection system, which can be used for secondary purposes."
"This is not a good plan!" Guo Jia ducked in from the door, holding a wine gourd in his hand. Guo Jia was good at wine but not money, and he didn't know how to do business. His salary was enough for him to live, so he wouldn't do it for money.
Selling the power in his hands. As he was passing by the door, he happened to hear the conversation between Long Fei and Li Ru, and Guo Jia came in.
"Why did Fengxiao say that?"
Guo Jia took another sip: "Officials are not allowed to do business, but their brothers and children can. How is this different from doing business on their own? The same is true for businessmen. We Han people have been running families with filial piety for thousands of years. What is going on?
A word of filial piety is vulnerable until now, unless Your Majesty can break the word of filial piety!"
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult!" Li Ru lowered his head and pondered.
Long Fei smiled: "It's a bit difficult? It's harder than climbing to the sky!"
"So, Your Majesty can't break the world!" Guo Jia sat down, raised his head and continued drinking.
"Is there nothing we can do?" Long Fei asked.
Guo Jiadao: "There is a way to alleviate it!"
"Fengxiao, tell me quickly!" Long Fei and Li Ru both opened their eyes wide, waiting for Guo Jia to continue.
Guo Jia was not in a hurry. He looked around for something. When he looked up and saw that the wine gourd was still in his hand, a smile appeared on his face. Then he said lightly: "Your Majesty can ask all officials to announce their property. If there is any false information or the money is unknown,
Those who are killed will be killed! At the same time, legislation will be enacted to prohibit relatives within the three clans of officials from doing business in the name of the parliament. In this way, the influence of the aristocratic family will be much smaller."
"Who dares to become an official here?" Li Ru looked at Long Fei: "Your Majesty is not encouraging investment in business. He himself has shares in the weapons workshop. This is not to..."
Long Fei waved his hand: "This is not difficult. Tomorrow I will donate all the weapons workshops and other shares to the country!"
"Okay! Give it all to me!" Guo Guo was a little drunk.
Long Fei smiled and said: "It's not for you Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, it's for the empire! I don't want it anymore!"
Long Fei's sudden donation of all his money caused a huge shock in the empire. Even the old men in the parliament felt that Long Fei was going to reshuffle the cards. The next day after receiving the news, the second donor appeared.
, it was Mu Shuang, the deputy speaker of the parliament. For a moment, no one could sit still. A bombshell hit the imperial officialdom.
Along with Long Fei's donation letter, he also sent to the parliament an imperial decree, which explained in detail the reasons for doing so. He also hoped that the parliament would pass his proposal to limit the income of all officials and cut off the family's financial resources.
Force these aristocratic families to go into business and downplay their relationship with the government. Things happened suddenly, and there was a fierce quarrel in the parliament.
The Fourth Chief of Yingchuan can be regarded as the representative of the imperial family. The major families in Yingchuan will never pass this decree because it will be destroyed in one day. The old men were so angry that they almost left angrily. They were angry because they were angry.
The vote was still carried out. With Long Fei's appeal, the Official Restriction Decree was passed with a vote of 35 to 11, with four abstentions. Ju Shou was appointed as the executor of this decree.
When the Ministry of Justice traveled across the country, everyone finally understood the purpose of Long Fei's donation of his property. The officials immediately felt that they had been tricked by Long Fei, but there was nothing they could do about it. Xiangyang bore the brunt, as it was the gathering place for emerging aristocratic families, and the victory was achieved
Who can let go of the fruit if it is to be taken away? The Fourth Chief of Yingchuan even ordered the Yingchuan students to withdraw from the imperial government in an attempt to resist Long Fei's plan to attack the aristocratic family.
In response to this situation, Long Fei did not give in at all and ordered the country to enter a state of emergency. Soldiers began to wander on the streets. The army was stationed outside the city. As long as there was any commotion, they would immediately come out. Fortunately, the military power was concentrated in
In the hands of the brothers who followed Long Fei all the way. Although this group of people also bought some property, they are not as rich as those civil servants. As long as Long Fei trusts them, they can take away their heads, not to mention money.
The two sides were at war with each other, watching a storm hovering above the empire.
