"How is the family in Yangzhou now?"

After sorting out the political affairs, Yuan Shu turned his head to look at Xun You and Gu Yong.

Xun You and Gu Yong glanced at each other, and finally Gu Yong stood up first: "My lord, this time there are six more families that have been raided due to rebellion, and there are now eleven families left in the entire Yangzhou except for Lu, Gu, and Zhu." ”

Yuan Shu touched his nose, as if he had done something too much, and the Yangzhou family forced himself to rebel and raid half of the house. However, the few that were copied were either too ambitious, or short-sighted, and it was better to be cleaned up. The rest of these families should be considered to be among them that can be supported.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shu felt that he should still give some sweetness to these remaining obedient families, otherwise how many families would be willing to do it with him in the future?

Killing chickens and monkeys can be regarded as a family, and now unless Yuan Shu's brain is pumped and he wants to kill the remaining families, with Yuan Shu's actions during this time, I am afraid that they will not dare to mess around again. Now we also need to appease it in a timely manner, is it the king to have a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other?

Xun You had already guessed Yuan Shu's thoughts, and stood up in Gu Yong's slightly grateful gaze: "Lord, now that the family group in Jiangdong has suffered a heavy blow, should we appease one or two?" ”

Yuan Shu nodded: "Gongda's words are reasonable. What about the Yizhou that I asked you to send troops to investigate? ”

Guo Jia seemed to understand something, and stood up: "My lord, three months ago, I sent Jiang Qin to lead 10,000 sailors to Yizhou to investigate according to the arrangement of the lord. According to the information received, it is indeed the land that is as the lord said, the land is vast and fertile, the rainfall is abundant, and the climate is hot, which is very suitable for growing food. The rice grown by the local indigenous people can basically be harvested twice a year! Moreover, the size is comparable to that of Wu County, and a quarter of the land is suitable for arable land, which is indeed a treasure land for production. ”

The strategists who are doing this news are very clear. They were shocked when they first found out. Everyone understands that with this big rear, Koto will no longer have to worry about food after three years at most.

"The local indigenous population is less than 20,000, and it is quite rude, but after all, it is only some indigenous people, and they have been subdued by General Jiang Qin. If we want to develop Yizhou, we need to transport at least 100,000 people in the past. ”

Yuan Shu had already been mentally prepared for this, and as for how to transport the population, he had already had a draft in his heart.

Although the people of the Han Dynasty are nostalgic for their homeland and are reluctant to relocate, it is now a troubled time, and there are displaced people everywhere. can't live, and there must be many people who are willing to let them live a comfortable life in this place where there is no dispute with the world. What's more, in addition to the homeless, aren't there still a lot of people in those families?

Just take this opportunity to give the family a big gift on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also quickly develop Yizhou. Kill two birds with one stone, and everyone will be happy.

Yuan Shu looked at Gu Yong with a smile: "Yizhou County lacks population, and it is inconvenient to manage it directly overseas, so I decided to give the Yangzhou family a chance." Yizhou has two counties, the northern half is named Beitai County, which is managed by the Yangzhou government, and the southern half is named Nantai County, which is managed by various families, including land and people. ”

"The Nantai County Government will not intervene and intervene, nor will it be recycled for no reason. As long as more than thirty percent of their families are unwilling to give up their fiefdoms, then I will never cancel this policy. They only need to pay the full tax according to the proportion, but the population of Nantai County still needs to be registered. ”

Astound! Although he didn't say it explicitly, all the strategists present understood what Yuan Shu meant. Although it is not explicitly stated, this is equivalent to dividing half of Yizhou to these families, or hereditary replacement.

The sub-feudal system gradually disappeared after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, although the Han Dynasty still has a parallel system of counties and states, but the people who can have fiefs are all princes and kings surnamed Liu, and the size of the feudal country is generally only two or three counties.

Yuan Shu's doing so can be said to be equivalent to giving the family a chance to establish a feudal country, and the territory is not small, about one Lujiang is big. The land and the people were handed over to the family to manage, which was tantamount to turning it into a back garden of the family. Even if it is still partially restricted by the Yangzhou government, it is enough to make the family crazy.

After the Zhou Dynasty, all the rulers realized the disadvantages of the feudal system and imitated the centralized system of Qin Shi Huang. The family's goal also shifted from feudalism to land.

Now that Yuan Shu has given them the opportunity to take charge of a country alone, how can this not make them crazy? Even the slightest bit of a brain knows that this could be a centuries or even a thousand years of inheritance!

Yuan Shu has a strong desire to control, but he is a man of all kinds, his personality is the same as his predecessor, he doesn't look back when he breaks through the south wall, he breaks his teeth and swallows it in his stomach, so the credibility of this promise is very high.

Gu Yong could imagine that those old things in his family would be crazy after getting the news, and kept coming to him, hoping to get more fiefs from Yuan Shu.

Desireless is just now, as a direct minister Tian Feng will always play the role of a black face, hearing Yuan Shu's words, he immediately stood up and pulled hatred: "Lord, isn't this a little too cheap for those families?" There should be restrictions. ”

This is such a tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister. In dealing with the issue of the family, it is always Gu Yong and Xun You who pretend to be white-faced, Tian Feng who pretends to be black-faced, and Yuan Shu to weigh it.

Hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shu naturally took the opportunity to say his request: "Yuan Hao's words are reasonable. So let's do it, if these families want to get a fief, they have to hand over part of their fields in Yangzhou. The size of their fiefdom was distributed according to the area of cultivated land they handed over. ”

Tian Feng and Yuan Shu glanced at each other, and the two of them smiled tacitly: "The lord is wise." ”

Yuan Shu's move is a yang scheme, clearly telling these families that if you want to occupy more fiefdoms, you have to pay more land than other families. With the urine nature of these families, even if an agreement is reached on the surface, it is estimated that they will secretly hand over more land.

After all, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity, and how many fiefs you occupy will basically belong to you for hundreds of years, and the next time you can encounter such a good thing, you may have to wait a few hundred years.

They are still clear about Yuan Shu's strength, if they cooperate and support, not to mention anything else, it is still possible to hold on to Jiangdong for a hundred years. Relying on this good place to develop for a hundred years, even if Yuan Shu falls, the other princes don't want to take it easily, it is estimated that they will have to compromise in the end. Just think about it a little and understand the pros and cons of this.

Yuan Shu smiled slightly, as if he had seen the scene of the families rushing to hand over the title deed.
