Not to mention the tenants in the family, now the family members are thinking about escaping.

I don't know where they are capable, they have already sought the help of the yamen to search for these fleeing family members, but they can always let them slip away. After walking for three days, I couldn't find it, and the yamen didn't bother to help, after all, there were too many runaways like this!

The tenants are better, mainly because they are worried that they will not fulfill their contracts, and they are used to it.

But dreams will not disappear, and the younger generation will always have the idea of fighting together, so those who have the conditions to go are gone.

The situation in Jizhou, Yizhou and Jingzhou is very serious. Especially with Taihang Mountain and Qinling Mountains as cover, the fugitive slaves could not chase after them at that time, and the pursuing thief Cao Peng himself got lost first.

As a result, the major families suddenly faced a serious problem, that is, the fields at home were not cultivated, and the guards at home began to have problems. What's more, some thieves found out about this, and from time to time they took care of it, and even if they didn't care about food and money, it was a bit too much for the flower thieves.

But there is no way, the family members who used to be guards used to deter the existence of ordinary family members and tenants, and many of them ran over.

It is said that the imperial court attaches great importance to military merits, and military merits are already available, so they are not waiting for the expansion of the army over there. It doesn't matter if you have no culture, over the years, I have learned some martial arts, and I just used it to fight for the future.

"But if there is no one to farm, how can we do it?" The old man of the Zhen family replied, "The rent is reduced, they are all natives, who wants to leave their hometown if they can live?!" ”

"To put it lightly, you Zhen daughters, one is a concubine, the other is a beauty, they are all relatives of the Qin and Han dynasties, can you not talk to them?" The words of the old man Zhen naturally aroused the resentment of several other people.

But there is no way, people are really right, if you want to keep people, you can only improve the treatment.

Now that everyone has no intention of internal fighting, what about beating Zhen down? After getting those fields of the Zhen family, the problem of lack of people will be even more serious at that time!

Not to mention the three families of the Zhang family, the Su family and the Zhen family, which operated horses, iron ore and grain business respectively. Even the King of Bohai (Yuan Shao) didn't dare to take these three out.

There is another problem that cannot be put forward, that is, if these three families are really taken out, in case the Qin and Han dynasties really dominate the world, and others kill them back, it will be the end of the three clans in minutes.

This is still the lightest, and it is not a strange thing to constantly squeeze their living space through official means, and finally ruin their family. even colluded with the officials to prevent their clansmen from coming out, and there was no place to cry if they really cried.

No, on the one hand, they can only maintain basic neutrality, and on the other hand, they secretly fund the King of Bohai, only hoping that he can compete for power, ascend to the throne as soon as possible, and then destroy the Qin and Han dynasties, and then they will be able to attack these three families unscrupulously.

"When Liu Tao started, he passed through Zhongshan. In order to seek peace in the place, the head of the family married him, and later Liu Tao recovered Zhongshan, all the way to Guangzong, so that the Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided, and you and I can benefit. At that time, who would have thought that a Sima from another department in Youzhou could ascend the throne and become an emperor? The old man of the Zhen family said that he was innocent, and the Zhang family and the Su family also said one after another.

After a pause, he continued: "No matter what, we are all from Jizhou, and we must take care of our own people. Over the years, I have made a lot of money with you, but have I treated you badly? ”

Almost all the grain was sold to Liu Tao, and the cooperative winery was also sold to the grassland, and now Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu are still big customers, and they only trade with them. Just for this, who doesn't eat with a mouth full of oil?

As far as the family's affairs are concerned, they are going to turn against each other? No matter what you say about this matter, the others don't take care of it.

"It's just that the income has to drop by more than 30%!" Someone told the truth, who hasn't thought about appeasing the family, but there is no cost to appease? Who doesn't feel distressed at the thought of a 30% or even 40% drop in their family's income?

"Why is it going down?" The old man of the Zhen family asked rhetorically, "Isn't it that the imperial court (Zhao Han) has collected too many taxes?" We have collected so many taxes and recruited so many soldiers, but we have not moved for a long time, and the money we have spent has not been wasted? ”

Secretly funding several families of the King of Bohai, their faces suddenly became ugly when they heard this.

Indeed, at present, the King of Bohai is slow to make a move, and he is not the emperor and does not expand externally, so they have invested so much money into it, is it just a waste? No, at least you can still hear it!

"Everyone......" The old man of the Zhen family looked at everyone, "Everything has to leave a way back for yourself, and now the group is divided, who knows that in the end, the smile will be the last." Bet on the wrong person, that's not a small problem. The imperial court wants to support it, but the Qin and Han dynasties can give up? ”

"Of course you can't give up...... Look at Elder Zhen, what do you say we should do? One of the heads of the family asked, and the Zhen family was also too much, sending the oldest one out.

This old man, who had been called a brother to their father back then, was a generation shorter in front of him.

"Next year, there will be an Enke over there, and if you pass the exam, you will be able to become an official. I wondered if I might send someone over this year and take classes there so that I could take the imperial examination immediately next year. The old man of the Zhen family said with a smile.

Sending a few sons and nephews to other forces is not a strange thing in itself. On the other side of the problem, it can be said that everyone in the world is offended. If it is known to others, they sent their sons and nephews over, it is estimated that life in Jizhou will not be easy!

I can't help but say this concern vaguely.

When the old man of the Zhen family heard this, he stretched out his hand and knocked on their heads: "Stupid? Split up! Drive away a few unscrupulous clansmen, or can't get by, and divide the family, is there still one less? ”

When Zhen Lao said that, several heads of the family seemed to have an understanding: yes, there is still this trick!

The topic began to be active for a while, and the hatred of the same enemy, which was originally caused by the problem of the family, seemed to disintegrate unconsciously. Sure enough, as long as the benefits are sufficient, any resentment is actually a fart.

Zhen Lao has lived for so long, and he may not have much talent, but his knowledge is there. With a little guidance, not only did it disintegrate their resentment, but it was even possible to transfer the resentment to Yuan Shao's side.

At the same time, if their nephews were really sent to Jinyang, no matter what the excuse was, couldn't Yuan Shao see that it was an excuse?

When the time comes, Yuan Shao will have to be suspicious of them, and at that time, push them behind their backs, and these families will not obediently ask to come to Zhen's side? Boys, you play with Lao Tzu, it's still tender!

It's just that he knows better that as long as these family heads are not stupid, they can naturally see his plan. Even if you can't see it, go back and think about it, and you can taste it.

If you can stand out from a few brothers and become the head of the family, and the family has not declined, it must be insightful.

But it's useless to have knowledge, it's not as horizontal as the Zhen family, there is no way to reduce the number of family members and tenants, and the future of the family's children and nephews cannot be ignored, after all, it is also related to the survival of the family. If you can't afford to provoke it, you can only choose to join!
