Chapter 1185: The Four Surnames of Wu County
Wang Can stared at the smoke-billowing hall and fell into deep thought.
At this time, Shi A came over and said in a low voice: "My lord, my subordinates have something to report!" Shi A's voice pulled Wang Can back and returned to reality.
Wang Can asked, "What's the matter?" β
Shi A said in a low voice: "Lord, will Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang cheat to death, and the golden cicada will come out of its shell?" β
Wang Can raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "I believe not, but you can start reviewing this matter." The surrounding Wu soldiers were detained, examined one by one, and then after the fire was extinguished, the burned bodies were examined. I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll have to deal with the affairs of the city. β
"No!"
Shi Ah responded with a fist and immediately set about dealing with the matter.
It's a pity that Sun Quan didn't fake his death.
After some review, Shi A didn't get any useful information, it was all the news that Sun Quan had killed himself in the main hall. At the same time, after the fire burning in the main hall was extinguished, Sun Quan's corpse examination was also self-inflicted, and it was only burned by the fire, everything was consistent with the soldier's description, and there was no point in arguing.
Wang Can got the news and let go of his heart.
If Sun Quan and Zhuge Liang really ran away, Wang Can would have to worry about it.
β¦β¦
The Shu army entered the city, and the situation in the city was controlled by the Shu army, and the scattered Wu soldiers surrendered one after another and no longer resisted. After Wang Can withdrew from the palace, he stayed in the military camp in the city, and at the same time gathered LΓΌ Meng, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and Jia Xu, and the rest of the generals were still cleaning the battlefield and stabilizing the situation, and they were not all recalled.
Wang Can's face was not happy, but his expression was serious, and he said: "Sun Quan committed suicide in defeat, and the state of Wu perished, but he left a mess. The situation in Wu is not like Jingzhou and Jiangxia and other places, and Wu County is even more panicked and chaotic. The thing now is to stabilize the situation, and what you think about it, you can say what you want. β
Xu Shu immediately said: "Back to the lord, the minister thinks that the most important thing at the moment is to settle the people and stabilize the people's hearts. β
Wang Can said with a straight face: "Say it carefully." β
"No!"
Xu Shu said unhurriedly: "As the lord said, Sun Quan was defeated, but Wu County and even Wu Guo were in chaos. Now there are hundreds of thousands of people outside the city, and these people have been forcibly detained by Sun Quan, their families are broken, and they are all homeless. Some of them are orphans and widows, and some are old, weak, sick and disabled, and these people must be properly addressed, otherwise they will become a great disaster. β
"The minister thought that the money should be transferred out of the treasury of Wu State to give it to the people to settle down, so that they could return to their homeland and live again. As soon as this move came out, the people praised it, and the people's hearts returned to the lord, which will definitely become a great good talk. β
Xu Shu cares about the people outside the city.
If the people cannot be properly resettled, it will definitely be a big hidden danger.
Lu Meng frowned, shook his head and said, "Master Xu, I agree with your suggestion, and I also think that the people should be settled." But have you counted, the people outside the city are at least 400,000. To resettle 400,000 people, a lot of money and grain is needed, and the treasury of Wu is probably not enough to support the money for the resettlement of the people. β
Xu Shu shook his head and said: "How can the treasury of a country not be supported by hundreds of thousands of people?" β
Wang Can looked at Shi A and ordered: "Send someone to investigate the situation of the treasury immediately, and send back the news within half an hour." β
Shi Ah nodded in agreement, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Next, Wang Can discussed the rest of the matters with everyone, such as whether to withdraw the army, whether to attack Cao Cao in the north, and other issues. Half an hour later, Shi Ah hurriedly ran back, his face full of bitterness.
Wang Can chuckled in his heart and asked, "Shi'a, what happened?" β
When Xu Shu, Jia Xu and Guo Jia saw this, they all expected that something was wrong.
Shi A said with a sad face: "Lord, the treasury of Wu is empty, and there is nothing. β
Wang Can's heart was shocked, and he said in a deep voice: "Sun Quan is dead, how can the treasury be empty?" β
Shi A gritted his teeth and said: "I found that the treasury did not have any money, so I immediately found the soldiers of the Wu army who were once stationed in the treasury and asked carefully. They said that the state of Wu fought repeatedly, the treasury was empty, and there was not much money left. Half a month ago, Sun Quan's uncle Sun Jing transferred all the grain in the treasury, and there was nothing left. β
"Sun Jing?"
Wang Can asked, "Where is Sun Jing?" β
Shi A said in a deep voice: "In a hurry, the minister can't find out where Sun Jing went. In short, since Sun Jing took all the money away, Sun Jing disappeared abruptly. β
Wang Can frowned and ordered: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated, you mobilize all the forces of the Hero Building in the Wu Kingdom, investigate Sun Jing's whereabouts, and at the same time find out the news of the Sun clan's people." Originally, I wanted to detain the Sun clan and imprison them forever, but now it seems that the matter is much more than that, and it must be investigated and dealt with as soon as possible. β
"No!!"
Shi A came out of the camp tent and was busy dealing with Sun Jing's affairs.
Wang Can said again: "There is no money in the treasury, what do you say should I do?" β
Xu Shu's face fell, and he was very uncomfortable. Hundreds of thousands of people cannot be resettled, which must be a major hidden danger and a huge suffering for the people. No matter what, the people have to be settled.
Xu Shu used his brain and considered various methods.
Jia Xu opened his mouth and said: "My lord, there is a strategy, which is enough to settle hundreds of thousands of people. β
Wang Can had a smile on his face and asked, "What is Wenhe's plan?" β
Jia Xu said: "To resettle the hundreds of thousands of people outside the city, two problems need to be solved. First, there is the food problem faced by hundreds of thousands of people; Second, it is the people who return to their hometowns, which requires resettlement costs, and it is also a matter of money mentioned by Yuan Zhi. β
"The money and property of the Wu State Treasury have been moved, but it is impossible to remove all the grain, and there is grain in the army, which is enough to solve the food problem of hundreds of thousands of people. With food, hundreds of thousands of people do not go hungry; The lord also sent people to distribute some clothes uniformly, so that the people would not be cold; Letting the military physicians diagnose and treat the people will solve the current problem. β
"The people need money to settle down. To solve this problem, you can gather the squire and wealthy families in the city. They have a lot of food and wealth, and the lord starts from them, and he will definitely finish it. β
Jia Xu is neither humble nor arrogant when he speaks, and he is confident.
Xu Shu retorted: "Master Jia, it's not easy to get the gentry in the city to pay. If the lord is in a hurry, he will definitely be opposed by the gentry and the great family, which will have an impact on the great cause of the lord. β
Wang Can nodded in agreement.
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Yuan Zhi, it is actually very simple to solve the wealthy gentry family. β
"I want to hear about it." Xu Shu hurriedly asked.
Jia Xu glanced at Guo Jia and nodded to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia did not shirk, and said loudly: "First of all, the lord has just taken the state of Wu, and he is the victorious side. The gentry in the city had supported Sun Quan and were the enemies of their enemies, and they must be uneasy now, worried that the lord would attack them, and were thinking about how to please the lord and protect the family. β
"As long as the lord decrees, the gentry in the city will surely come immediately. When the time comes, won't the lord put forward the condition of letting the gentry raise the money again? β
"Of course, when it comes to money, the gentry must be heartbroken."
"If it were me, I'd be heartbroken."
Speaking of this, Guo Jia smiled evilly and continued: "The lord and the gentry discussed the matter of money, and proposed to publish the name of the gentry and tell the people that they were the ones who paid for the disaster relief of the people. With fame, I believe that the wealthy gentry in the county will agree even if their hearts ache. β
Guo Jia has a signature smile on his face, chic and casual.
After hearing this, Wang Can nodded yes.
The so-called combination of grace and power is like this.
The use of force to deter the gentry and gentry in Wu County is to show Wang Can's strength. At the same time, with the help of fame, it is Wang Can's favor and the enveloping of the gentry family.
The combination of the two is Wang Can's means.
Wang Can said with a smile: "The general direction is said by Fengxiao, but Wu County is the capital of Wu State, and there are many gentry families, and the relationship is intertwined, and it is difficult to sort it out." Therefore, it is necessary to select the most prominent families and persuade them one by one, and only with these great families taking the lead in agreeing can the rest of the families agree. β
Looking at Jia Xu, Wang Can said; "Wen He, you are familiar with the situation in Wu Kingdom, talk about it carefully."
"No!"
Jia Xu bowed his hand and said loudly: "There are four surnames in Wu County, and these four surnames are all from Wu County, and they are the most prominent and famous families in Wu County, namely Gu, Zhu, Lu, and Zhang. β
Among them, the representative of the Gu family is Gu Yong, who has a certain relationship with the lord. In the past, Mr. Bo Ji lived in Jiangdong, and Gu Yong once worshipped Mr. Bo Ji as his teacher, and the relationship between him and his lord was that of a brother and sister. Gu Yong was young and ambitious, and he joined the government as an official very early, but after the lord hit Wu County, Gu Yong resigned and went home and was living at home. β
The Lu family is Lu Kang's family, and the ancestral shrine of the Lu family is in Wu County. The lord appointed Lu Xun as the Taishou of Lujiang, which is a clever move that can be used today. β
"The Zhu family is Zhu Huan's family, and when Tai Shici entered the city, he personally captured Zhu Huan. With Zhu Huan, the lord can persuade the Zhu family and Zhu Huan to return to obedience. β
"In the end, the Zhang family is Zhang Yun's family. This Zhang Yun is not Liu Biao's nephew, but a famous man in Wu County, who is quite famous. His son Zhang Wen is young and intelligent, with outstanding virtue, and a talent, and both father and son are representatives of Wu County. With the current situation, Zhang Yun will make a wise choice. β
Jia Xu spoke clearly, and said the people of the four major families of Wu County one by one, and named how to persuade these people.
Wang Can laughed and said, "Okay, with Wenhe's words, he will definitely be able to convince the four major families in one fell swoop." Moreover, if the four major families can be submissive, it will also be beneficial to the stability of Jiangdong. β
