After Liu Cong had dinner in Sun Shangxiang's yard, she kicked him out.
Chen Xiaoruan also set up his own courtyard, and Sun Shangxiang drove Liu Cong to her.
Looking at this weak-looking woman, Liu Cong felt a little emotional. Just listening to Sun Shangxiang's story about the past, he could guess why she was like this. She really has a delicate heart.
"I sent someone to your home today to recruit someone. Your parents know that you are in the Marquis, so you don't have to worry about your family anymore."
"I thank you husband." Chen Xiaoruan was about to kneel down when Liu Cong held him up.
Liu Cong looked at Chen Xiaoruan with a playful look on his face and said, "How do you want to thank Gu?"
Chen Xiaoruan's face turned red when he saw it, which made Liu Cong laugh, "Looking for a good day, Gu He and you will organize the happy event, but before that, Gu He and you still have one important thing to do."
"What are you talking about, husband?"
"ah!"
Liu Cong picked her up and said, "Have a baby!"
When Liu Cong was being ridiculous, his white paper also spread throughout the world! It caused an unparalleled shock to all the princes!
"Three million people! An army of 260,000! And such huge taxes! Is the family really that powerful?"
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Cao Cao was a little shocked, but also wondered if he had really underestimated these aristocratic families?
It seems that he has suppressed these powerful people very firmly. In his eyes, these people are just a handful, but are they really so obedient?
Be subdued, be patient, and wait for the opportunity! The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more he became afraid. The iron-clad dynasty and the unchanging family. Can he hold it back? What about his descendants?
If one day his descendants compromise with these people, will it be his Cao family or the aristocratic family that has the final say in the north?
"Wen He, if you want to follow Jing Chu's example, count the population and divide the land into acres, do you think it's feasible?"
In the entire hall, there were only Cao Cao and Jia Xu!
Without thinking, Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Prime Minister, although you did not rely on the support of aristocratic families to make your fortune, now your subordinates, Chen Qun, Yang Xiu, Sima Yi, Xun Yu, Xun You and others, are all members of aristocratic families."
"Perhaps Xun Yu will support the Prime Minister, but what about the others? If you do this, the Prime Minister will be able to clean up his house within twenty years. A noble family cannot choose the Prime Minister, but can also choose other princes, even the Han Dynasty!"
Cao Cao clutched the newspaper angrily, "Then why can't I do what Liu Xiye did?"
"Because Liu Cong broke the pot when facing the Prime Minister when he went south. If he was not ruthless, he would have to face the fate of defeat and annihilation! Prime Minister is different. Your north has just been at peace, and you have been defeated again in the south. And the Han Dynasty
The room is here and can’t stand any trouble!”
"To put it bluntly, people who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. The more resistance Liu Cong starts to do, the less resistance he gets. Coupled with his defeat of the prime minister and Liu Bei, as well as Sun Quan's prestige, he can accomplish these things!"
"Even so, you have seen that many rebellions under his rule were led by aristocratic families, and even the rumors this time are the same. However, his control over the army is too strong, and the people's support is also with him, so he can't stand
fall!"
"Prime Minister, if we could unify the world, this might be possible. Now, the stakes are too complicated. Please think again."
Cao Cao smiled bitterly, "Can I still have a time to dominate the world?"
Twenty years, can he live another twenty years?
Koto
Sun Quan was also talking secretly with Lu Su, "Zijing, the aristocratic families in Jiangdong are worse than those in Jingchu. Can Gu..."
"Lord! You must not do this. If this happens, there will be no need for Liu Cong to attack, and Jiangdong himself will be in chaos first!"
In Jiangdong, unlike Cao Cao, although Sun Ce also suppressed the aristocratic family, the consequence was that he was assassinated and died. This shows how tyrannical the aristocratic family in Jiangdong was.
After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, in order to stabilize his position, he made many compromises with the aristocratic families. Now he wants to impress them? Haha.
"With such great strength and such great wealth, in their hands, it's like being stuck in their throats!" Sun Quan didn't think anything of it before, but now he really envied Liu Cong.
Seeing that Lu Su still wanted to remonstrate, Sun Quan said again, "Zijing doesn't need to say much, I know what to do."
Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief, "Lord, although we can't take down all of them, we can still make them spit out some of them!"
Sun Quan was a little surprised, "How do you say that?"
Lu Su's eyes were full of wisdom, "Liu Cong did what he did in Jingchu. He wants to capture Jiangdong. Do you think anyone will want to surrender?"
Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "Definitely not! This is cutting off their foundation!"
Lu Su nodded, "Yes, so we can use this newspaper to intimidate major families!"
"Now, there are only 120,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, and 20,000 must be allocated to defend Shanyue and 50,000 to defend Cao Cao. But Liu Cong has wiped out the Wuxi barbarians and captured Wancheng in the north. There are no worries in the territory."
"If Liu Cong comes to attack, the number of troops will definitely not be less than 150,000. The lord can use this to explain the interests to the family. I am willing to be a lobbyist myself to win these for the lord!"
"Hahaha, Zijing is a great talent!"
Hanzhong.
After Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong, he destroyed Taoism in various places and steadily developed people's livelihood. So far, he has recruited 30,000 troops!
With a population of more than 400,000, he recruited 30,000 troops. Including Liu Bei's original 10,000 troops, it was only 40,000. However, this was only a county in Hanzhong, and Liu Bei had already expanded to such an extent!
"Kong Ming, Liu Cong has implemented various reforms in Jingchu, and now Jingchu has become so powerful. What do you think?" On Liu Bei's desk, there was also a newspaper.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, we can definitely follow Jing Chu's example! Whatever Jing Chu does, we will do it!"
"Imitate it completely? Is this possible?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.
Zhuge Liang stood up directly and said, "No prince in the world, except Liu Cong and my lord, can do this again!"
"Let's talk about Cao Cao first. Although Cao Cao didn't make his fortune from aristocratic families, most of his subordinates are members of the aristocratic families. He can do this, but during the period of doing this, the north will be like a sick tiger. Let alone attacking foreign countries, can he keep it?
It’s great to have your own territory!”
"Since Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he has made various compromises with the family in order to stabilize his position. If he does this, Sun Ce's fate will be a lesson to others!"
"A horse is more brave than an ordinary man, Han Sui is buried with bones in his tomb, and Liu Zhang is kept as a dolphin and dog. They are all worth mentioning. Gongsun Kang of Liaodong might be able to do it, but most of the things he conquered were barbarian lands. To implement such a system, he didn't have that many talents!
"
As he spoke, Zhuge Liang looked shocked, "Only my lord! Hanzhong has just been captured by us, the Five Pecks of Rice Cult has been abolished, and the people can produce with peace of mind. There are no big and powerful families in Hanzhong, so it is all under my lord's control!"
"Hanzhong now is like a blank piece of paper, just waiting for the master to outline it!"
Liu Bei was still worried, "But if we capture other places and have to rely on the support of local scholars, wouldn't this be feasible?"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said, "Then there's no need to worry. My lord relies on all of you here, not the new ones!"
"They have only two choices, either to cooperate respectfully or to annihilate their race! My lord, everything Liu Cong has done is to benefit the country and the people, strengthen the army and enrich the country. Please don't worry, lord!"
"Crack!"
Liu Bei directly patted the table and said, "Okay, then let's take the imperial examination for two consecutive years to accumulate talents and then comprehensively reorganize the system!"
