Chapter 906: The Family Gathers

The news of Yuan Shao's defeat and the fact that the world had been decided spread all over the world as early as the first time. When the people of the world learned about it, they all clapped their hands and celebrated.

What the Han people want is very simple, whoever can keep them alive and not starve to death, they will follow. Since ancient times, the so-called prosperous era has not been very prosperous, and most of it has been preached. The food and clothing that the people can mix can basically be called a prosperous age.

At this point, Yuan Shu did a good job. Vigorously supporting the children of peasant families and Mohists for the innovation of agricultural technology, as well as the expansion of territory and the nationalization of land, have promoted the development of agriculture beyond imagination.

The division of the family has sharply intensified the competition between the wealthy gentry, and the core of this competition is no longer the previous officialdom, family education, money, etc., but the population. It has changed from the vicious competition that suppressed the people to the healthy competition that is now competing and developing. The increased awareness of the wealthy gentry and businessmen has greatly enhanced the value of people.

The population that never cared about it in the past is now in a big gap. Nowadays, there are no orphans and beggars living on the streets. All the orphans and beggars were coaxed and taken away by the government or the family.

There is a shortage of people everywhere, and the government's mines, construction sites, and farms are not allowed to do heavy work, but they can also help deliver food, feed pigs, and herd sheep. And the family is recruiting people everywhere, and they are more eager than the government.

Because Yuan Shu gave them so much share of the population, apart from these black hukous, they really couldn't find a place to recruit people to expand themselves.

The Maisons also have their own ambitions. Yuan Shu allowed them to establish their own country outside of Great Chu, undoubtedly unleashing this wolf pack that was even more terrifying than the capital behemoth.

What was the most important indicator of how strong a country was in ancient times? It's nothing more than people and land.

The southwestern kingdoms used to seem inconspicuous, but it was only after the families really dug into them that they discovered their terrifying potential. However, even the largest and more fertile land needs to be cultivated, so it is imperative to compete for population.

Yuan Shu can now confidently say that more than ninety percent of the people under Da Chu have solved the problem of food and clothing. As long as you don't live in the deep mountains and old forests, and you don't have too many disabilities, you can go to any nearby town to find the government, and the government can arrange a job for you with food, shelter and money. It's nothing more than a lower salary or a little harder, but food and clothing are certainly not a problem.

The people are in their hearts, and the family is now happy and convinced of Yuan Shu.

Whether it is blindly suppressed or blindly curryed, it is impossible to make the family return to their hearts. If you want to conquer the family, the only way is to subdue you first, like Yuan Shu. Let you fall to the bottom, from the original indispensable existence to govern the country to dispensable, at any time may be eliminated existence. Subsequently, it will give you a brighter and better future.

Show it with authority, and then give it grace, so that it can be reaped from its heart.

The southwestern countries, once poor and remote, wild land, have been completely renovated in a few years.

Countless Han Chinese arrived, bringing advanced technology and culture, and the local economic development was like a catalyst, stepping on the fast track.

Today's southwestern countries can no longer see the slightest trace of the original, and they are not much worse than many counties in the late Han Dynasty. Under the influence of continuous propaganda, the local aborigines have been able to speak some commonly used Chinese characters familiarly, and their clothing and demeanor are also close to the Han people.

On the surface, the wind is calm and peaceful, but in the depths, as Yuan Shu thought, the local backward culture is constantly being eroded and replaced by the advanced Han culture, and the local people are changing to the Han people under the trend of interests and the silent influence of propaganda.

In the palace of a small country in the southwestern countries, a group of family heads are gathering here.

"Wen Xiangong, long time no see." Countless family heads looked at the old man sitting on the main seat, and hurriedly bowed down.

It was none other than the current head of the Yang family, Yang Biao, who was once one of the three princes of the Han family.

The Yang family, as the second largest family in the world after the Yuan family, is an existence that the families present can only look up to, regardless of prestige, power or others.

Although the world has been in turmoil for more than ten years, the family has also been reshuffled, and countless families have stood out and risen to the forefront, while the Yang family has declined because of its choice to rely on the royal family.

But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Yang family's heritage is still not to be underestimated. Not to mention that there is still an in-law relationship between Yang Biao in front of him and the one in Da Chu, and his sister-in-law is still working under him, which is quite important. No one dared to ignore the existence of the Yang family.

The status is here, and Yang Biao didn't put his posture too low, but just responded politely with a nod.

Coming to this place in the southwestern countries, in fact, Yang Biao was still a little unwilling and weak in his heart.

Although he has never openly supported Yuan Shu, as an in-law, he used to secretly do a lot of convenience for Yuan Shu. I thought that I could continue to pursue the family's consistent style, relying on the relationship by marriage to attach myself to the royal family, so as to ensure the family's thousand-year-old immortality and longevity.

But this was just wishful thinking on his part, and Yuan Shu didn't have the slightest idea of supporting his relatives. Even the heir of the clan, Yuan Shu is not ready to divide the official title and the prince.

The Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the Anshi Rebellion, and the tail of the clan after the end of the Ming Dynasty dragged down the country, Yuan Shu had some resistance to his relatives, clans and eunuchs.

Compared with the soldiers and generals, the flaws of these three forces themselves are too great, and they basically do more harm than good. Although it is conducive to the royal family's power, it is not a good thing for the country or the emperor in the long run.

In this way, Yang Biao, who originally planned to stay in Chang'an, traveled thousands of miles to the remote southwestern countries after having a deep conversation with Yuan Shu.

Eggs cannot be put in the same basket, this is a principle that the family generally follows, and the Yang family is no exception. The main focus is on the domestic royal family, but for the matter of Yuan Shu's division of the southwestern countries, the Yang family also secretly mixed in to be the backhand. Sure enough, it's enabled now.

Although this small country is not large, it has a population of more than 100,000. For today's Yang family, it is just right.

After a few years of operation, the whole country has been branded with the Yang family, and the so-called king has long become a puppet that has been hollowed out. And Yang Biao entertained the heads of various families in the palace at this time, which was naturally logical.

Today's Maison is in a sensitive period of change, and all the people of the Maison are extremely cautious. This time Yang Biao invited him, none of these family heads refused to miss the appointment, and they all came on time.

After the personnel arrived, Yang Biao slowly raised the wine glass on the table: "It's not an honor for the heads of the family to come, please drink this cup." ”

When the heads of the families heard this, they raised their glasses and returned the salute.

After drinking it all, Yang Biao went straight to the point: "The heads of the family are busy, so Yang will not lie much. This time, His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu defeated Yuan Shao and ruled the world, which is really a great blessing, and it should be celebrated on the National Day. Therefore, in a few months, a ceremony will be held in Chang'an. I wonder if you are interested in participating? ”

"Wen Xiangong laughed, such a grand event, why can't I go. If you don't give face to anyone, we have to give face to His Majesty the Emperor of Chu! ”

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor Chu is the destiny of heaven, and he should celebrate the domination of the world."

The heads of the families agreed.

For Yuan Shu, the family is happy and convinced. Even so many loyal people didn't have much aversion to Yuan Shu in the past. After all, the living conditions of the people under Da Chu's command are not fake, they have eyes to see.

Although Yuan Shu said that he did a great rebellion, he was indeed an unprecedented saint in the ages, and he treated the old and young of the Han family very well.

Except for a very small number of absolute diehards in the Han family, the rest of the scholars have long accepted the reality and accepted Yuan Shu, an emperor with no loss of great virtue and no loss of private virtue. Among the family, it is even more praised.

"If it is a celebration, it is natural that a congratulatory gift should be given. Our family has been silent for a long time, and it is time to show our ability and value. Yang Biao's eyes flashed, and he said in a low tone.
