Chapter 511: Asking Yuan Shao about life and death became a mystery
With Zhao Hui's current ability, he still can't change the minds of these families.
From childhood to adulthood, they were instilled to put the interests of the family first.
Therefore, the contradictions between Zhao Hui and them can never be reconciled.
Only one side will back down, and there will be no win-win situation.
Zhao Hui can guarantee the wealth of some families, but the members of the family must not exceed ten.
And they don't have privileges either.
Unlike these families now, there are thousands, even tens of thousands, and hundreds of family members.
Although there are many elites among them, more of them are just moths with nothing to do.
They enjoyed the best treatment, but did not contribute to the empire in the slightest.
Zhao Hui doesn't need these people.
These people are alive, but they only add to the burden of Youzhou.
If these moths are all pulled to reclaim the fields, Youzhou will be even richer.
Zhao Hui doesn't need a family.
But even with Zhao Hui's current status and prestige, he can't eradicate all the families and uproot them.
As far as the large and small families in Youzhou are concerned, they control more than sixty percent of Youzhou's grain and grass materials.
If they really twist into a rope, they will have to fight against Zhao Hui.
Although Zhao Hui could defeat them with the powerful forces in his hands.
But in this way, the construction of Youzhou in the past few years will also be ruined.
There are more than two million people in Youzhou, and there may be less than one million left.
There will be little grain and grass left.
The advantages that Zhao Hui has established now will disappear, and his strength will drop several times, even inferior to Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
Therefore, Zhao Huicai has never dared to press too these families.
It has always been to suppress one part and then win over the other part.
Let these families have been in a state of dispersion, so that they feel that there is still hope, and they will not be broken by Zhao Huiyu.
It's a water mill effort.
These families see the interests of their families as higher than their own lives.
It's not that when there is no way out, they don't want to lose both with Zhao Hui.
Most of the family heads only stayed for a few days after coming to Jicheng, and after meeting Xu Shu, they left.
They couldn't see Zhao Hui, and they couldn't find out Zhao Hui's tone.
The purpose of their coming here is mainly to show that their family will not go against Zhao Hui and is on Zhao Hui's side.
As for the news they want to know, they still have to rely on those great families to find out a little, and then they are digging from the mouths of these great families.
After the Gongsun family chose to become Zhao Hui's minions when Zhao Hui got married, the current Gongsun family has once again become the most powerful family in Youzhou.
Gongsun Wei, the head of the Gongsun family, naturally belongs to the head of the family who can meet Zhao Hui.
In addition to the Gongsun family, there is also Song Bin, the head of the Song family in Shanggu County, which was also supported by Zhao Hui.
However, today's Song family, although the industry is very large, the number of people in the family is very small.
Those side branches were all divided by Song Bin.
The entire Song family is centered on dozens of people within three generations.
As for the others, Song Bin gave them a little money and left them to fend for themselves.
They are no longer members of the Song family in Shanggu, nor are they protected by the Song family, and they no longer enjoy the privileges of the family.
They all need to rely on their own hands to harvest food and let themselves survive in this troubled world.
Several families in Shanggu County are now Zhao Hui's staunchest supporters.
The head of their family was secretly supported by Zhao Hui.
Their ascension to the position of head of the house is not very bright.
And the Song family, even if there are only a few dozen descendants left, their strength has not weakened.
Whether it is financial resources or influence, the Song family is stronger than when Song Ren was in charge.
The former Song family, although it was the first family in Shanggu County.
However, Shanggu County is only a county on the edge of Youzhou.
In terms of strength, it cannot be compared with Yuyang County and Beiping County at all.
Therefore, the former Song family was not ranked in Youzhou, and the family that was stronger than the Song family could not be counted on two hands.
But now, as Zhao Hui's staunchest supporter.
Although the number of the Song family has decreased, their industries are now all over Youzhou, and even Jizhou, there is the shadow of the Song family.
In the past, if these families developed industries, the shopkeepers of those shops must have been members of their own families.
And now, most of the shops and people in charge of the shops around the Song family are not from the Song family, but they are hired to work specifically for the Song family.
With Zhao Hui's popularization of education in Youzhou.
Although there are no capable ministers who can govern the world, there are many third-rate talents in Youzhou now.
It's no longer exclusive to the Maison.
The reason why the shopkeepers of those families are using people from their own families.
One is because they believe that only their own family is more reliable.
The second is that they can also find talents who can be qualified as shopkeepers from the outside.
At most, you can only find those guys who run errands.
It's good luck to be able to find a bookkeeper.
Most of the shopkeepers are also bookkeepers.
And now, even in those colleges established by Zhao Hui, the students who have not yet graduated, as long as their grades are not countdown, they will basically let them make an account, and there will not be much problem.
Nowadays in Youzhou, talent is no longer something that the family can monopolize.
As time passes, as those students in the academy walk out of the gate of the academy, they will sprout in the land of Youzhou.
The heads of those families still haven't understood.
Not only in the officialdom, but not in the hall of their family.
Even in other industries, whether it is business or agriculture, there will be more talent in the future.
Their influence will be lower and lower.
Zhao Hui can't wipe out the family in one fell swoop now, but as time goes by, Zhao Hui has the confidence to slowly pull out the tumor of the family.
There are too many resources under the control of the family, and their resources are all used on their own families, and they only enter and exit.
"Lord Zhou Mu, is Yuan Shaoke willing to surrender?"
Gongsun Wei asked after bowing to Zhao Hui.
"Yuan Shao is also a generation of heroes, how can he surrender easily." Zhao Hui said.
The news that Yuan Shao was unconscious did not spread after Zhao Hui ordered a blockade.
Gongsun Wei and the others knew more limited information, but they only knew that Yuan Shao was seriously injured and captured by Zhao Hui.
Zhao Hui didn't want the news to spread.
Yuan Tan of Jizhou does not dare to directly inherit Jizhou Mu now, just because Yuan Shao is still alive.
If you let them know that Yuan Shao has been unconscious, it is even said that Yuan Shao is dead.
Yuan Tan will definitely inherit Jizhou Mu as soon as possible.
A living Yuan Shao has a greater value of use.
Zhao Hui could use it to negotiate with Yuan Tan and force the Yuan brothers to surrender.
"Zhao Youzhou, maybe let's give it a try and talk to Yuan Shao, after all, one more person may succeed."
Chen Liangdao, the head of the Chen family in Fanyang County.
The news that Zhao Hui captured Yuan Shao has spread all over the world, but no one knows what happened to Yuan Shao after he was captured, whether he was alive or dead.
