Chapter 1660: Defying the hero and obeying mediocrity
Does Yuan Shao want to implement the new law? Of course he does. After all, South Korea, which is far inferior to Zhao in terms of strength, relies on the benefits of the new law to fight against Zhao. If Zhao also implements the new law, the national strength will definitely usher in a change.
A big explosion in the stage.
But even if Yuan Shao wanted to, he could not implement new laws in his own territory that would harm the interests of the family.
Not to mention that the Yuan family where Yuan Shao belonged was the largest aristocratic family in the Han Dynasty. Most of his subordinates, such as Guo Tufeng, Ji Xin, Ping Xin and Cui Yan, were all from aristocratic families.
Therefore, if Yuan Shao implements the new law, the internal resistance will definitely be the highest among all the princes, and even the foundation of Zhao State will be shaken by this.
Precisely because he knew that his roots were in a noble family, Yuan Shao had never dared to implement the reform even though he knew the benefits it would bring, but now he had to change.
Su Dingfang's proclamation directly exposed the biggest contradiction of Zhao State. If Yuan Shao did not make substantive changes, he would actively push the people of Zhao State to the opposite side.
Yuan Shao personally experienced the Yellow Turban Uprising and knew the consequences of standing on the opposite side of the people. At that time, the Han Dynasty was the public enemy of the people in the world, and he was eventually forced to promulgate new laws to alleviate the conflict.
The current situation of Zhao State is even more dangerous, and the Qin army has already arrived at the city. Once internal chaos breaks out, Bohai will be defeated.
For the current plan, Yuan Shao can only implement reforms and promise to grant land to the people in order to get the people of Zhao State to side with him. Otherwise, once Bohai City, the capital of the country, is captured, then Zhao State will basically be the same.
The country was destroyed.
"Sir, what you said is reasonable. In order to protect Zhao State, I am determined to reform the law and allocate land to the people." Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.
[Yuan Shao’s skill ‘Reverse Hero’ is activated...
In adversity, one is in adversity and in adversity, one is in adversity and in good times, one is in mediocrity. Different people have different effects.
Effect 1, under adversity, five-dimensional permanent 5;
Effect 2: In good times, the five dimensions are permanently -6;
Effect 3: If you can maintain a humble heart and avoid arrogance, you can avoid the activation of Effect 2 even in good times.】
[Currently Yuan Shao is in adversity, his five dimensions are permanently 5. Yuan Shao's current five dimensions are: Commander 89 (5), Force 88 (5), Intelligence 90 (5), Politics 97 (5), Charisma 101 (5)]
Under the crisis of national subjugation, Yuan Shao finally unleashed his greatest potential. After activating the "Reverse Hero", his five dimensions were permanently improved, and his whole person was as if he had been reborn.
With the improvement of the five dimensions, Yuan Shao was most helped by his political attributes. The 97-point politics allowed him to discover many things that he had ignored before. At the same time, he also felt some regret in his heart for not implementing the reform as soon as possible, otherwise he would not have been able to do it now.
So passive.
"Mr. Wen Zhong, I will leave the reform to you. In addition, while telling the people to divide the land, we must not slack off in collecting the propaganda documents. Each of these articles counts, and none of them can be left to me." Yuan Shaoning.
The voice warned,
Hearing this, Wen Zhong smiled and cupped his hands and said: "My lord is wise, and with the land as an incentive, the people of Bohai will surely fight bravely to take the lead. It will not be easy for Su Lie to capture Bohai."
"Go and do it quickly."
"promise."
As soon as Wen Zhong left, Shen Pei hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master, if we really implement the reform and allocate land to the people, I'm afraid the aristocratic family will not be able to explain it."
After Yuan Shao was silent for a while, he said: "After the Qin army is defeated, I will visit the Jizhou family one by one. I believe they will give me a good deal. After all, once Zhao is annexed by the Qin army, the land in their hands will still be lost."
They were forcibly confiscated by the Qin army and distributed to the people."
"Well, I hope they can distinguish right from wrong."
Shen Pei said with a wry smile, but he was extremely pessimistic about this. After all, he was also from a noble family, and he knew the nature of those people very well. How could he want a noble family to take the initiative to give them benefits? This would be even harder than killing them.
Xiao Yan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up after hesitating for a long time: "May I ask my lord, is it true that what Su Lie said in the article that the lord has secretly sent the young master out of the Bohai Sea is true?"
Hearing this, a cold light suddenly flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes. He kept this matter extremely secret, and few people in the entire Bohai Sea knew about it, but Su Lie knew about it and wrote it directly in the announcement.
What does this mean? It means that there is a spy of the Qin army among the cities in the Bohai Sea. If this spy is not rescued, Yuan Shao will have trouble sleeping and eating.
Yuan Shao did not answer Xiao Yan. Instead, he sat down and wrote a few names on the paper, then handed it to Xiao Yan and said: "General Xiao, go check these people secretly. If you find any contact with the Qin army, report them immediately.
We will imprison you, and if you dare to resist... you will be killed."
After looking at the list above, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly shrank. Those written on it were all important ministers of Zhao State.
Yuan Shao doesn't even believe them, will he still believe me? Xiao Yan thought to himself.
Although Yuan Shao did not answer Xiao Yan's question, Xiao Yan could already guess from Yuan Shao's reaction that what the declaration said about sending his children out of the Bohai Sea should be true.
And this also exposed a bigger problem, that is, Yuan Shao himself was not confident about this battle. Can Bohai really stop the Qin army's attack?
Xiao Yan was a person who always showed his emotions and anger. Although he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, his expression was always the same. He took it respectfully and lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely live up to my master's trust."
Because of Su Lie's declaration, the entire Bohai Sea was in turmoil, especially the 100,000 newly recruited militiamen, who were the most affected.
These 100,000 militiamen have been armed and have a certain degree of combat effectiveness. If Yuan Shao does not handle this matter well, these 100,000 militiamen who were originally intended to defend the city will be the first to be in chaos. By then, Bohai City will also
It's self-defeating.
However, when Wen Zhong stood up and told the people that King Zhao had decided to change the law and would allocate land to the people after the Qin army was defeated, the people in the city cheered for joy, as if they had forgotten how they had spurned Yuan Shao before.
People's hearts are fickle and people are easily contented. These two points are vividly reflected in Bohai.
The people of Bohai were happy, but the aristocratic family completely exploded.
Yuan Shao, who is the head of an aristocratic family, actually wants to sacrifice the interests of the aristocratic family to carry out reforms? Is this okay?
Even if they knew that Yuan Shao was forced to implement the reform, and even if they knew that once the Zhao Kingdom was destroyed, the interests of the aristocratic family would not be preserved, the aristocratic families still united to oppose Yuan Shao's reform.
When Yuan Shao learned about it, he was so angry that he overturned the table and cursed: "Idiots, they are all a group of idiots."
