The first thing they did when the eager officials were sent out was to verify the number of acres of land in the area and the secret population of the great families.
During the years of Gongsun Zhan's reign in these four counties, he killed more than 100 wealthy families and vacated a large amount of land. This gave Lu Peng the resettlement of the migrated population, and flowed out of a huge amount of land space.
But there are no wealthy families who have left, and now Lu Peng has unceremoniously carried out a land verification on them, and there were originally land account books, of course Lu Peng admitted, after all, the land in the hands of some people is not all forcibly taken, but also obtained under hard work, for these lands, Lu Peng said that he has limited recognition, after all, he can't offend all the wealthy families in the world. However, taking advantage of the war and population loss, Lu Peng resolutely took it back.
But even so, Lu Peng's policy was still resisted by some big families, such as the Gao family in Bohai, this policy, in front of the Gao family of the Bohai wang clan, hit a nail fiercely, and directly beat out Bohai's subordinates at that time, the new Taishou Gaofeng's subordinates.
This Gao family is now taking advantage of the chaos to occupy more than half of the land in the Bohai Sea, controlling tens of thousands of households on the land, nearly 100,000 people, they all count these people as their own family slaves, not only do not have a household registration, but also do not pay a little tax contribution to the imperial government, which has become a major unstable hidden danger for Lu Peng.
But the Gao family is a prominent family in the Bohai Sea, and its power is very huge, so when Yuan Shao was coerced this time, he didn't dare to touch him. And this Gao family, in the future, once developed to the level of the gate valve family, controlled the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and then later established the Northern Qi Dynasty, out of three emperors, more than a dozen princes, as the so-called world Gao family out of the Bohai Sea, it can be seen that its power is great, the situation is victorious, so to move him, there is really no good way.
And the Gao family is almost the benchmark of Bohai County, and the other families all watched his actions, and for a while, the Youzhou government and the family were deadlocked.
In order to break the deadlock, there was no way, the new Bohai County Taishou Gaofeng decided to go to meet the head of the Gao family in person, ready to reason with him, hoping to get the understanding and support of the Gao family.
When I came to the Gao clan's clan house, I did enough of the rules of Corporal Lixian, and wanted to discuss it with the patriarch of the Gao family.
When he walked in front of the Gao family's old mansion, he was shocked by the magnificent momentum and the huge mansion.
Gao Feng is a foreigner, he is also from a family, and he has seen the world, but in the face of this huge and magnificent old mansion of the Gao family, Gao Feng really feels what it means to be small and big, and what is a place of heroism.
Where is this ordinary wealthy manor, it is simply a majestic castle, a tall city wall built of bluestone, glowing with cold clear light, neatly dressed and well-equipped family weapons on the city wall, facing outsiders, even if they are too guarded, their parents are simply not worth mentioning in front of them.
After several times of asking to see, the castle put down the drawbridge, opened the city gate, and a rich man came out, looking arrogant at this peak Taishou arched his hand, and casually said his identity: "I am the head of the Gao family, Taishou is coming, and I am sorry for my sin." ”
He said forgiveness, but his face was full of contempt.
Gao Feng, who was born in a family, has also seen the rules and momentum of these families, so he has done enough work and humbly greeted this housekeeper, hoping to introduce himself to meet the head of the Gao family.
After several times, Gao Feng was brought into the ancient manor of the Gao family with twists and turns, and Gao Feng finally met the mysterious head of the Gao family.
As a result, seeing this Gao family patriarch, who has great influence in Qingzhou, Youzhou and even half of Hebei, was unexpected by Gao Feng.
This is a shrewd and capable middle-aged man, different from his subordinates, there is no arrogance of other family patriarchs, and the hall that receives him is also very simple, a simple hall, a few pairs of popular furniture, tables and chairs in Youzhou, and a few antique shelves, simple and tidy, low-key and not exaggerated.
Seeing the arrival of the new Taishou, the patriarch took out a humble attitude, smiled from afar and bowed down: "I don't know that the arrival of the old Taishou's parents is indeed far away, and they will atone for their sins." ”
Gao Feng knew that the head of the Gao family had once been the imperial historian of the Han Dynasty, and later the royal family declined, and the family was very assertive and immediately resigned, avoided Dong Zhuo's quagmire, returned to Bohai, and painstakingly managed his family territory, and once served as a grain secretary under Yuan Shao.
This time the war between Lü Peng and Yuan Shao, although the two sides ended with the emperor's adjustment, but in fact, the internal reasons are obvious to all, a new type of thriving power is rising, while the old bureaucracy is constantly declining, decaying, and changing the sky has become an irreversible fact. So the head of the Gao family once again made a wise decision, refused Yuan Shao's forced relocation, and stayed, so as to wait and see where the wind went.
At the same time, as early as a few months ago, the children of the family had been sent as messengers to rush to Youzhou Lu Peng to convey his willingness to get married. This is obviously stepping on a few boats, but this is understandable, family interests come first, people all over the world are doing this, and you really can't say anything.
Gao Feng didn't expect that the Bohai Gao family was so prosperous, and as the head of a family, he was so humble, so of course he relaxed his vigilance, but after the negotiations just began, Gao Feng learned the truth that a dog that bites people does not bark.
Since people look easy-going and talkative, Gao Feng also frankly explained his origins, hoping that the Gao family can set an example and let Youzhou's policies be implemented smoothly.
After listening carefully, the patriarch of the Gao family said with a look of embarrassment: "The land is the lifeblood of my family's survival, thousands of clansmen, tens of thousands of slaves, and tens of thousands of family members who follow behind them, all need this point, our Gao family has accumulated land to feed, if the state pastor takes back these lands and cuts off the foundation of our survival, then we, the hundreds of thousands of old and young, can only take risks, so on the side, please also ask the old parents to be considerate of us, let us have something to eat, Let us survive in this troubled world, my Gao family will be grateful to Dade, and will fully support all the things of the state pastor, and will be willing to work for the ambition and hegemony of the state pastor. ”
