In the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, there is a post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps, and the atmosphere is extremely solemn.
When Chen Yuan arrived, Liu Bei was already sitting in the lobby with a solemn expression.
Obviously something important must happen today.
Chen Yuan came to his first position on the left.
On the left are civil servants, on the right are military generals. The first military general is Guan Yu. There is no doubt about this.
Everyone else sat across from each other.
Liu Bei glanced around and saw that everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, so he coughed lightly.
"Everyone, the reason why I have summoned you here today is because I have something important to discuss with you. I hope you will spare no effort and prepare a good suggestion."
As soon as they heard Liu Bei speak so formally, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.
What happened? It looked serious.
Liu Bei didn't whet everyone's appetite and said it directly.
"What do you think of the Cai family in Jingzhou?"
Hey, what do you mean by this?
Is it possible that the Lord wants to deal with the Cai family?
Thinking of the Cai family's attitude towards the Prefectural Mufu, smart people have already figured out something about it.
It seems that the lord is dealing with the Cai family.
What they thought was right, but they never imagined how deep Liu Bei's treatment would be, uprooting him from the ground up.
Suppressing powerful people in the country is one of Zhou Mu's own tasks. It's not surprising to everyone, so they naturally support it.
Therefore, some people began to speak: "The Cai family has been in Jingzhou and has committed many violations of law and discipline. Based on what my subordinates have seen, the Cai family should be taught a certain lesson."
This is what people from the Jingzhou faction said. They believe that they can be suppressed, but they cannot be killed. As long as the Cai family gives in, they can be let go.
"My lord, the Cai family has no state government, oppresses the people, and hoards people. It is the root of the bane of our Jingzhou. I suggest that the family be moved and divided into different clans. Those who violate the laws and disciplines among them will be severely punished according to the law to serve as a warning to others.
"
This is the non-Jingzhou sect. For them, killing the Cai family is naturally the best thing to do. However, I don’t know what Liu Bei’s thoughts are. Let’s test it first.
After everyone discussed for a while, Liu Bei raised his hand to stop the discussion in his house.
"It seems that this Cai family is indeed not a kind family. In this case, I want to eradicate the Cai family. Can you give me some advice?"
As soon as this statement came out, except for Chen Yuan and a few other people who knew it, everyone else was shocked.
Getting rid of Mr. Cai is a big deal.
The people here are all very aware of Cai's strength and reputation.
Many people even relied on the Cai family to survive.
This sudden need to deal with the Cai family naturally took a while for everyone to react.
Regarding the Cai family's matter, only Chen Yuan, Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng, Jushou and Gu Yong were the only ones who knew about it in advance in the entire Prefectural Mufu.
Others are completely unaware.
Previously, everyone just speculated on Liu Bei's intentions, but now there is no need to speculate. This is definitely going to kill the Cai family.
This makes some people look a little ugly.
It doesn't matter if we suppress the Cai family and take some benefits from the Cai family.
But completely killing the Cai family made many people feel unhappy.
For example, the Kuai brothers, such as Guo Yong, the governor of Nanjun.
For this meeting, Liu Bei summoned all the governors from the seven counties of Jingzhou.
Because the Cai family's influence is spread throughout Jingzhou, the governors from all places need to work together to completely eradicate the Cai family's influence from Jingzhou.
In order to find out the distribution of power of the Cai family in Jingzhou, Jin Fengwei has spent a lot of effort in the past few months, and of course also spent a lot of money.
Fortunately, so much energy was not wasted, and all the power distribution of the Cai family in Jingzhou is now under Liu Bei's control.
The two brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang looked at each other, and finally it was Kuai Yue who spoke.
"My lord, the Cai family belongs to a large family in Jingzhou, and is related by marriage to Yizhou Liu Shijun and Hui Shugong (Zhang Wen). Will our doing this have any bad effects?"
Guo Yong nodded at the side and said: "Cai's strength is spread all over Jingzhou, and it is intertwined. A single move can affect the whole body. Don't move lightly."
It seemed that the two of them were thinking about the state capital, but in fact they were secretly opposed.
For them, it was okay to suppress the Cai family, no problem, and they even wished Liu Bei would do it.
But if they were eradicated completely, it would shake their bottom line.
Liu Bei glanced at the two of them and thought to himself, Zichu really has a keen eye and can see clearly.
A few days ago, when Liu Bei and Chen Yuan discussed this issue, Chen Yuan said that Jingzhou's noble families and officials might object.
The reason? It's quite simple.
Since Liu Bei took control of Jingzhou, he has not vigorously suppressed the powerful people in the territory, and has been more tolerant.
For example, the Kuai brothers, the Ma family in Yicheng, the Liu family in Changsha, etc. were appointed.
Even for people like Cai who obviously did not give the state government face, Liu Bei did not suppress him, but turned a blind eye.
This would inevitably make the powerful people in Jingzhou feel that Liu Bei is easy to talk to and would not dare to offend them.
Therefore, it is imperative to get rid of the Cai family and establish their authority.
Is there any better way to establish authority than to get rid of the Cai family?
there is none left.
Liu Bei thought of this and said to Kuai Yue and Guo Yong: "The Cai family must be destroyed. All consequences will be borne by Benzhou Mu. Do you have any other opinions?"
It looks like he is asking, but actually he has already made up his mind.
Kuai Yue and Guo Yong seemed to want to say something more.
Chen Yuan said lightly and directly gambled back what the two wanted to say.
"You two, do you want to stop the lord, or do you have some relationship with the Cai family?"
Chen Yuan's words were like blood on the bayonet.
If the Kuai brothers and Guo Yong try to stop it, the end will definitely not be good.
Despite Liu Bei's merciful demeanor in the past, at critical moments, he was a decisive and decisive leader.
If the Kuai brothers and Guo Yong still don't understand, Liu Bei doesn't mind killing them both.
Seeing the coldness in Chen Yuan's eyes, Kuai Yue and Guo Yong were so interested that they stopped talking.
Of course they don't want to see the Cai family be eradicated, but to say that they would die for the Cai family is just a joke.
Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Liu Bei raised his voice and said, "Since everyone has no objections, it's settled."
"Yunchang, Yide, Fengxian, Hansheng, Gongyi."
"The end will be here."
"The four of you will each lead a thousand soldiers and horses. Gong Yi will lead the navy to transport you across the river and surround Caizhou. Don't let anyone escape."
"The last general takes orders."
Guan Yu and five others went out to collect Liu Bei's arrows.
"Zilong led three thousand troops to Jiangling to assist Governor Guo in eradicating all the Cai family's farms, restaurants, grain stores, etc. in the territory. Jinfengwei cooperated to provide specific information. Don't let any one go."
Although Guo Yong was unwilling to go out to take orders from Zhao Yun, the current situation was obvious. If he didn't agree, he would probably be killed.
Therefore, Guo Yong could only accept the order.
Moreover, Liu Bei is not afraid of Guo Yong's cooperation. With Zhao Yun, a wise and courageous person, he is not afraid of your unwillingness.
Next, Huang Gai still assisted Lu Kang in Jiangxia, and Wei Yan assisted Qin Chu in Nanyang. Liu Bei, the four counties in Jingnan, arranged for Taishi Ci, Wenpin, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others.
The power of the Cai family in the four counties of Jingnan is relatively weak, and it is enough for Tai Shici to lead these three people.
After the personnel in various places were arranged, Liu Bei said to Gu Yong: "Yuantan, please arrange the manpower to take over Cai's farms, grain stores, restaurants and real estate in various counties. Be sure to register them and don't miss them."
Gu Yong accepted the order and said yes.
This is what he, a great butler, should do.
Finally, Liu Bei said to the others: "Gentlemen, please go to the academy to preside over the opening ceremony, and then we will go to Caizhou to see the bravery of the soldiers."
Chen Yuan and the others bowed and said: "I respectfully obey the orders of my lord, general."
Finally, Liu Bei said: "My lords, this move is related to the safety and survival of Jingzhou. I hope you will be more careful."
Everyone bowed and said: "I will obey your Lord's order."
Then, they all left the state capital and led their troops to march.
The state pastoral office is under martial law today, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without Liu Bei's order.
Liu Bei took Chen Yuan, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Tian Feng, Ju Shou and others directly to Xiangyang Academy.
Today is the opening ceremony of Xiangyang Academy.
At this time, there were many cars and horses in front of the academy gate, and many pedestrians.
Those who come and go are by no means unknown.
This is not only due to the reputation of Cai Yong, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, and Xiang Lang, but also due to the debate conferences in the past few days.
Because the Bible Debate Conference just ended yesterday, the scribes who participated in the Bible Debate Conference took the opportunity to attend the opening ceremony of Xiangyang Academy.
It's not that these people just want to join the academy, it's mainly because it's easy and effortless.
There's nothing wrong with participating.
Many people have heard that Xiangyang Academy has an extremely rich collection of books, and there is no restriction on people copying and viewing them, and they can even borrow them.
This is very attractive to many poor or poor scholars.
Many people have already decided to study in academies.
They just don’t know what the academy is like. If it’s too expensive, they won’t be able to afford it.
But I also heard that the academies seemed to be open to the public and that students could study for free.
I don’t know whether this news is true or not, so today’s opening ceremony of Xiangyang Academy was very lively.
Fortunately, Liu Bei arranged for Zhang A to lead 500 soldiers to maintain order, so there was no chaos.
Liu Bei had already told Cai Yong that he would participate in today's ceremony.
Therefore, the academy had already sent people to wait for Liu Bei at the door.
This person is Xiang Lang.
Cai Yong, Pang Degong and Sima Hui have high reputations and seniority, so it is inappropriate to greet Liu Bei at the door.
This will give Liu Bei a reputation of neglecting talented people and elders.
Xiang Lang is the most suitable person.uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com
As the academy's supervisor, Xiang Lang's status was sufficient and would not make outsiders think that the academy was neglecting Liu Bei.
Of course, this is for outsiders to see. In fact, this Xiangyang Academy is the Imperial College of Jingzhou.
It's just that Liu Bei is not the emperor yet, so he can't be called that.
When Xiang Lang saw Liu Bei leading a group of people, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Lang has seen the lord and his colleagues, so I didn't come far to greet them. Please forgive me."
Liu Bei supported Xiang Lang and said, "Sir, you are worrying too much. Today is a great day for the academy and we are busy with business. Why bother to come to pick me up? I can just go there on my own."
Xiang Lang said seriously: "Lang is the supervisor of the academy, and he is also a subordinate of the lord. How could he not come to greet the lord as a courtesy?"
Liu Bei smiled, said nothing more, and entered the academy under the leadership of Xiang Lang.
