Zhang Yu is going to make a move on the family in Luoyang City.

He held a banquet at the palace and invited all the great and small families on the list.

They didn't dare not come, and if they didn't come, they would let Zhang Yu send troops to invite.

Inviting these families, Zhang Yu's purpose is very simple, to ask for money.

Luoyang was scraped again, and it was also for Cao Cao to keep it.

Of course, Zhang Yu can also take the soldiers and horses to the door to rob it, but Zhang Yu doesn't like to use this way to make Luoyang chickens fly and dogs jump.

Inviting people over, Zhang Yu was polite.

"Everyone, I am reasonable, your support for Cao Cao is to be my enemy, I am a good talker, I don't want to kill, but I am greedy for money and lustful, you must spend money to buy peace." After calling everyone over, Zhang Yu said.

"We don't have any money."

"Yes, you don't have any money, are you going to kill us all."

"This Luoyang was built on the ruins, where do we have the money."

Hearing that Zhang Yu asked for their money, they all protested.

In fact, they also knew that they had to spend money today, but they just wanted to bargain with Zhang Yu in this way.

Zhang Yu didn't pay attention to them, but waited quietly, waiting for them to calm down before saying: "You may not know that the fire of the Yuan family in Luoyang was set by me personally. ”

Everyone was stunned, this fire was set by Zhang Yu, and it was already known to everyone.

However, everyone immediately understood Zhang Yu's insidiousness, and told them clearly that if they didn't pay the money, then they would be polite.

What a helpless choice it was to meet Zhang Yu.

"Zhang Yu, you can't be like this, everything is reasonable." Someone said.

There are a lot fewer people who are in agreement, and everyone knows that Zhang Yu really dares to kill people and set fires.

"Reasonable? I have been very reasonable, and I did not send troops directly to the door, but politely invited you over. Zhang Yu said.

Everyone was silent, and now Luoyang City was in the hands of Zhang Yu.

"No need to talk nonsense, everyone hands over sixty percent of the property, and if the money is not enough, they will find a way, and only give you five days, if you want to hide the property, you can all try it." Zhang Yu said.

Everyone was speechless, sixty percent of the family property was simply fatal.

If you don't give it, then Zhang Yuke will kill someone.

If you want to get lucky, then it's up to luck.

Zhang Yu asked for sixty percent, which was already very polite.

In fact, Zhang Yu can't help it, many of their family properties are real estate, fields, and goods in the hands of merchants, and these Zhang Yu can't take them away.

Therefore, Zhang Yu gave them five days to raise money, so that they might be able to ask for more.

If the money handed over is too much less than he expected, then Zhang Yu will naturally send someone to investigate, if it is out, then I am embarrassed, I will have to use the knife.

Luoyang City is so big, it is not easy to hide if you want to hide, mainly because the streets are full of Zhang Yu's soldiers, and it is difficult to hide.

Zhang Yu did this for another purpose, that is, to suppress the family in Luoyang.

Suppress these families and make them not so good, so that their influence in Cao Cao will decline, and Cao Cao will be able to better develop Taixue.

Suppressing the family is what Zhang Yu has been doing, not to mention the family of the enemy's family, so he has to step on it hard.

After Zhang Yu finished blackmailing, he let them go back, and at the same time asked them about Dong Zhao's news, and if they knew anything, they could tell him secretly, and it would be beneficial when the time came.

Zhang Yu offered a reward of three million dollars to buy Dong Zhao.

In the end, there is no way for Zhang Yu to have any effect.

When these people went back, their faces were not good.

Sixty percent of the family property was extorted, and everyone had a bad face, but fortunately, Zhang Yu only extorted their family property in Luoyang, these families generally operate more, and there are industries in many places.

They went back to raise money, and some people wanted to think about it, but when they saw that the streets were full of patrolling soldiers, they were intimidated.

If you want to transfer assets, it is obviously not possible, and it is estimated that you will be targeted as soon as you go out.

All families are full of mourning.

Many people handed over posts to see Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu didn't see any of them.

"How can we completely suppress these families and divide them?" Zhang Yu thought.

To divide the family is to treat it differently.

Zhang Yu plans to focus on attacking those big families, and then let the small families take the opportunity to take the position.

After thinking of countermeasures, Zhang Yu acted quickly.

After five days, most of the people had handed over their property.

After that, Zhang Yu asked the soldiers to search, and the Great Family searched very carefully.

"Take it away, take it all."

The soldiers rushed into the study and took all the books inside.

Many of them are printed on paper, and many are made of bamboo slips.

Whatever it was, it was all looted, not a single book, not a single piece of paper left.

The families were dumbfounded.

"No, you can't take it away."

"We've already paid for it."

"What are we going to do without books?"

After paying the money, Zhang Yu also asked people to rob their books, as long as they were big families, they would be cleaned.

Nowadays books are easy to buy, but they also cost a lot of money.

It's not stressful to buy three or five copies, and it's okay to buy ten or twenty copies, but it's not so easy to buy a new study.

Books, in this era, were still very valuable, and despite the availability of printed matter, the price was still high.

Most of them are only hundreds of dollars a book, but it also costs a lot of money to get a study.

It used to be nothing, but now sixty percent of the family property has been handed over, and most of the families only have some real estate.

In this way, it will not be so easy for them.

And Zhang Yu showed mercy to those little family subordinates and did not confiscate their books.

In this way, under the differential treatment, the natural change will slowly occur.

If you don't have books, if these people want to study, then they can go to Taixue, and if you don't go, then you can slowly save books again, or sell some of your property.

When the family property was sold, the size of the family became smaller.

Zhang Yu worked hard to shorten the gap between them and the little family and let them contain each other.

When Zhang Yu cultivates a group of civilian scholars, the real crisis of these families will come.

In fact, Zhang Yu has long cultivated a group of civilian readers, and there are still a lot of them, but these people all work for themselves and have little influence.

It is very difficult to raise a large number of civilians in other places, because there is no opportunity for Zhang Yu to provide them with a large number of books.

Zhang Yu tried his best to suppress the family in Luoyang, and this is only the first step, and the second step is to establish a talent selection system in the entire Han Dynasty.

Of course, Zhang Yu will definitely not be able to do it in other places, as long as he does it in Jiangdong, the talent will be admitted through the examination, and people from other places will also be able to participate.

In this way, if the princes did not give those commoners a chance, then they themselves would run to Jiangdong.

As long as the princes slowly open their mouths, the commoners will slowly rise up and impact the entire family system.

The family gate valve was still very serious in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty could even affect the direction of the empire, and it was only after the Song and Ming dynasties that the family was suppressed by the imperial power.
