Sun Jian was about to go to Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Zhao came.

Sun Jian received the news from Kuaima, he was a little confused, and he didn't know why Sun Ce had just arrived in Xiang County and made a move against the Cai family. Although I have passed through Xiang County several times back and forth, I have nothing to do with the Cai family, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and I have not heard that the Cai family provoked Sun Ce, what is wrong?

Zhang Zhao was somewhat mentally prepared. At the end of September, the county plan was completed, and the household registration, land reclamation, and taxes in Xiang County had dropped significantly, and there was no war in Runan this year, and the situation in most counties had recovered, and this kind of situation was usually caused by the local tyrants and greedy, wantonly encroaching on land, taking away the peasants' land, and forcing the peasants to be his vassals, renting his land, collecting high rents, but not paying taxes.

Sun Ce had already planned to do something to the Yuzhou family, and now that the Yanzhou War is over, this matter naturally has to be put on the work agenda. He just didn't expect Sun Ce to be in such a hurry, and as soon as he landed on the shore, he took the Cai family under the knife.

However, Zhang Zhao was also relieved to learn that Sun Ce only controlled the Cai family and did not destroy the door as Xu Shao said, and at the same time was very dissatisfied with Xu Shao's approach. Aren't you spreading rumors? However, from another point of view, with Sun Ce's meticulous work, Xu Shao still got the news so quickly, which is enough to show that the relationship between Haoqiang and Hao Qiang is complicated, and it affects the whole body.

Although he was a little uncomfortable with Sun Ce not notifying him, Zhang Zhao also knew that this was no longer something that he could control as a Runan Taishou, and Sun Ce was also thinking about him if he didn't notify him, so as not to embarrass him.

"Since that's the case, don't hesitate to let Wu Zhou and the others rush over immediately."

——

Xu Shao didn't go back to his yard, and went directly to Xu Qian. Xu Qian was practicing guidance in the courtyard, dressed in snow-white single clothes, his movements were soothing, his expression was calm, and he was a little dusty. Xu Shao could see it for a while, and the anxiety in his heart was inexplicably dispersed. He arched his hands and stood quietly aside, watching Xu Qian slowly practice.

After a long while, Xu Qian took a few more breaths, and then turned around and went to the court. Xu Shao followed, and the two sat down in the hall. Xu Qian wiped the slight sweat on his forehead with a piece of cloth, and said with a smile: "What happened to this appearance early in the morning?" ”

"Hey, there is news from Xiang County, Sun Ce arrested Cai Yang and killed people, now the Cai family manor has been controlled by him, I'm afraid there will be more than one luck."

"Didn't this Sun Ce just come back, count the days, just arrived in Xiang County for two days, right?"

"Just arrived yesterday."

"So fast?" Xu Qian was also a little surprised, but he was not in a hurry, and slowly folded the cloth in his hand and stuffed it back into his sleeve. "Are you worried that he will do this to all the families in Yuzhou?"

"Wouldn't it?"

Xu Qian glanced at Xu Shao. "What kind of person do you think Sun Ce is, a reckless and ignorant martial artist?"

"Isn't it?"

"If that's the case, then what do you have to worry about, the Sun family's father and son are only more than 30,000 soldiers, and there are hundreds of Yuzhou families, he is really going to commit public anger, and in an instant, there will be smoke everywhere, rebellions are everywhere, he is tired of running for his life, he is too busy to take care of himself, and how many days can he stand on his feet?"

Xu Shao was silent. Their brothers are also known as Pingyu Erlong, he is more famous than Xu Qian because he presides over the Yuedan commentary, but he himself knows that Xu Qian's knowledge is not below him, and when he encounters tricky things, he still likes to come to Xu Qian to discuss. Listening to Xu Qian's words, he did not feel a trace of relief, but became even more uneasy.

Sun Ce is indeed not a reckless and ignorant martial artist, Sun Jian is. Sun Jian killed Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Zhang Shi, the Taishou of Nanyang, but he was unable to gain a foothold in Nanyang, and his subordinate Liu Shen was even attacked to death by the Nanyang people. After coming to Yuzhou, he attracted lessons and lessons, but he also shrank back because of this, and did not dare to do anything. But Sun Ce is different, he not only controlled Nanyang, but also did not be idle in just a few months in Yuzhou, except for Runan, several other counties have been controlled by him, and now it is Runan's turn.

This person is very disciplined, but I don't know if it's his own ideas or the suggestions of Zhang Hong, Guo Jia and others around him. Speaking of which, Sun Jian has debuted for so many years, and there is no strategist around him, Sun Ce has only debuted for a year, but he has recruited several celebrities one after another, and even people like Zhang Zhao are willing to drive him, which shows that his methods are not ordinary, and he must not be treated as an ordinary martial artist.

It's a bit underestimated. Xu Shao secretly regretted it.

"So how do we deal with it?"

"Don't be in a hurry, let's see how long he runs rampant, wait for him to show his flaws, and the sky will be angry, and then it's not too late to fight back." Xu Qian flicked his sleeves. "Our Xu family didn't pay less taxes this year, right? Have all the vassals reported the population? ”

Xu Shao's face was embarrassed and he was silent. When Xu Qian saw it, he shook his head again and again. "General, you're just too conceited. When has this been, and you are still reluctant to make that little floating wealth? Does my Xu family lack that little money and food? ”

Xu Shao's face was red and his ears were red. "Brother, I was negligent for a while and forgot to take care of it."

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and do it." Xu Qian patted his forehead. "It's all my fault for not reminding you in time. It's not too late to make amends. Go, go, go. Wait a minute. Xu Qian suddenly stopped Xu Shao, thought about it, and stomped his feet. Make up what you owe for these five years, no, ten years. ”

Xu Shao was taken aback. "Ten years?"

"That's right, ten years, make up for the ten-year shortfall, and then hand over all the extra land and household registration."

Xu Shao gasped. The shortage of ten years is already a huge amount of money, and if the extra land and household registration are handed over, the Xu family's industry will shrink by at least half. He looked at Xu Qian, unable to believe his eyes. "Brother, you're not practicing guiding, you're practicing Bigu, right?"

"Zi General, when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan."

Xu Shao opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, so he had to arch his hand and leave in a hurry. Xu Qian watched Xu Shao disappear outside the middle door, frowned, and sighed. "This general, the year is no longer confused, why is it getting more and more confused. The gentleman took the opportunity to do it, but he didn't wait all day, but he still hasn't reacted. This day is going to change, if you don't respond to the weather, how can you keep it for a long time. ”

Xu Shao returned to his courtyard, asked people to bring the account books, and calculated the accounts according to Xu Qian's requirements, and the more he calculated, the more painful he became. The Xu family has a big business, and the usual expenses are also large, not only raising so many customers, but also overwhelmingly welcoming and sending them to. If you really want to give away the taxes owed for ten years according to Xu Qian's words, the Xu family will have no surplus grain, and then hand over the excess land and household registration, the loss of the Xu family will exceed sixty percent, and it will become an ordinary gateway from the first family of Pingyu. There may be nothing wrong with your own life, but when something big happens, it's overstretched.

What's more, Sun Ce just arrested a Cai Yang, and the Xu family panicked like this, is it too weak? What will Sun Ce think of me, and what will others think of the Xu family? If they all learned from the Xu family and surrendered without a fight, wouldn't it have allowed Sun Ce to succeed?

Xu Shao thought about it, but he was still reluctant, so he decided to stand still and see the situation.

"Prepare the carriage and go to Liao's house."
