The secret agents of the Xia Kingdom who were densely stationed in Sanfu reported the treacherous situation to Liu Yuan early on, and reported it every three days, and it never stopped. Li, Guo and others raised troops to the west, and the court in Chang'an was busy dealing with them, Liu Yuan had only one reaction when he heard the news, he was overjoyed and did a good job.

Leisurely combing through the affairs of Hedong, at this time, there is no hurry to go west, Guanzhong, there are Li, Guo and others fighting to death, it is impossible to settle down. It's best to lose both sides and wait for Xia Jun to take over Guanzhong.

In the territory of Hedong, there are 20 large and small cities, and it took a lot of time for the Xia army to pull out one by one. To the east of the river, there are countless fertile fields, but the prosperous Sili Chong County in the past has been ruined a lot under the devastation of the military famine in these years.

Before the Yellow Turban, there were nearly 600,000 registered people in Hedong counties, but now, only half of them are registered. But Liu Yuan knew in his heart that those powerful families could take advantage of the chaos to swallow a lot of people and occupy a lot of land, and many Qiantou and their land were packaged and swallowed up and reduced to tenants. Of course, sometimes, being a tenant of a family is much better than being a good citizen in official uniform.

Now that Liu Yuan is here, he naturally wants to let him spit it out. When Xia Jun came, it was like a devil entering the village to loot, such a good errand, Liu Yuan handed it over to Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others.

Zhang Ji and others, who previously dealt with the Hedong family as Dong Jun, felt that they were ruthless and tough enough, but compared with Xia Jun's methods, they were really insignificant. They didn't do it so thoroughly. They were unhappy with these wealthy families who controlled most of the wealth of the county, and Liu Yuan let go of the restrictions, and they were also decisive.

As for Yang Feng and others, they are even more cheerful, and they have the feeling of turning over as serfs and singing. In the past, when he was Bai Bo, he was greedy for the wealth of these families, but he always felt difficult to swallow when facing the dock fortress slowly built up by the Hedong family. Now, with the strong military support of the Xia army, countless families have been broken.

Of course, this time, Liu Yuan was much more "convergent" than in Taiyuan, and did not choose to be one-size-fits-all, and most of the people who started were poor in the county's stroke, predatory people, and many evildoers. In fact, the real bullying is too much, and the bullies are those who don't have much inheritance. Famous families, cherish feathers, and don't do too much, but even so, which family doesn't have a little black material under the buttocks.

Xia Jun's move naturally lost the "hearts of the people", but will Xia Jun care about this?

Under the unscrupulous invasion of the Xia army, the heroes of Hedong were naturally unwilling and decisively instigated a crowd to resist. At this time, they felt the strong malice from the Hu clan in the grassland, and the original Dong Jun was too cute compared to the current Xia Jun.

There are hundreds of large and small dock walls in the east of the river, and under the strong attack of the Xia army, most of them have been breached, and all the resisters have been slaughtered. Wealth was plundered, acres of land were forcibly swallowed, and tenants were disbanded. The "scholars" rushed to flee, but only a few were able to escape.

Even though Liu Yuan thought that he had "converged" enough, he couldn't copy it down, and he got a lot, and he went up and down the east of the river, freeing up and down hundreds of thousands of tenants, thinking that Xia Guo was using it. One percent of the property and food obtained were confiscated by the soldiers, three percent were rewarded by Liu Yuan to the three armies, three percent were used for military purposes, and three percent were handed over to Liu Yuan.

Xia Jun's biggest food problem has been greatly alleviated after this move. The sequelae caused by this were that the ruling order of the former Hedong counties was completely destroyed, most of the counties were deprived of the chief officials, and the local administration was completely paralyzed.

Faced with such a situation, Liu Yuan was also decisive and directly promoted officials to officials. In all counties and towns, there are always some unambitious officials, Xia Jun came, and the old men of the family at the head were finished, and they were given a chance, so they naturally would not refuse.

Up and down the east of the river, the scholars of the Hanmen became the county commander, the county leader, the pavilion chief, and the county lieutenant, many of whom were promoted, and many common people in the township got the "official body" by this. Of course, on the whole, there are only a few people who can seize this opportunity, and they have to be that kind of clever people.

Liu Yuan's practice of appointing officials regardless of origin, virtue and ability, as long as he served was effective, in a short period of time, the rule of the Xia State in Hedong was established. But there will be endless troubles, and in the long run, there will be trouble. Fortunately, Liu Yuan knew very well in his heart that there was no one available in his hand, he was only temporary, and he would always adjust slowly in the future.

Even so, the vacancy of Hedong officials is still huge, and there is chaos up and down.

……

Anyi, as the governance of Hedong, is the most wealthy family, and it is also the hardest hit area of "suffering". These days, under the sword of the Xia army, trembling.

The Wei family is the leading wealthy family in Hedong, and since Wei Qing, the Wei family has been inherited to this day and has an outstanding reputation. The actions of the Xia army, the Wei family's losses are not small, and the nobles who are born and attached to it are strong, and most of them are plundered by the Xia army, but there is no invasion of the Wei family.

Many families in the county secretly asked the Wei clan to rebel against the tyranny of the Xia army, but they all refused.

To the south of Anyi, at Fort Wei's, thousands of people cowered in terror. Just because, thousands of Xia troops outside are riding on foot and are waiting for the battle. Xia Jun finally showed his fangs to this wealthy clan in Hedong.

Patriarch Wei Qi stood on the wall wall, looking at the tiger and wolf division outside, his expression was solemn, and he sighed: "It's finally here!" ”

Wei Qi was less than thirty years old, and he was already in the palm of the huge Wei family, with a very majestic body and an extraordinary appearance. When the war broke out in Hedong, he led his family to withdraw from the city and take refuge in this dock wall.

Sitting in the fort and watching the chaos in Hedong, it was only the actions of the Xia army after subduing the defenders of Anyi that made him deeply appreciate the barbarism of the Hu people from the Hetao grassland, so unreasonable, so ruthless. The majestic reputation of the wealthy family is worthless under the iron hooves of the Xia army.

These days, in the face of the collusion of other families, Wei Qian is cautious and does not dare to be light. It is not easy for the Wei family to pass on so far, and if it is not very good, it is the extinction of the clan. This is also what Wei Qi saw that the Xia army did not beat all the Hedong Shi clan to death with a stick, otherwise he would have taken the lead in resisting or fleeing with his family.

"King Xia is here, visit the Wei clan, and ask the Wei clan patriarch to open the door to welcome!" A tough voice came from under the wall, and it was Zhang Xiuce who immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly.

"Patriarch, what should I do?" The clansmen looked at the Lord's heart in horror.

Looking at the flag of King Liu Yuan fluttering in the army outside the city, so dazzling, Wei Qi smiled bitterly: "Open the door, I will personally meet the king of Hu Xia!" ”

Liu Yuan had no intention of forcibly entering the fort, he was indeed here for the Wei clan and for the sake of Wei Qian. Seeing Wei Qian coming out of the fort "acquaintance", he received him in the army.

The guards set up a blanket, a small table, and a wine vessel. Sitting on the ground, Liu Yuan looked at Wei Qi, who still maintained his demeanor, and said with a smile: "Patriarch of the Wei clan, he really has an extraordinary demeanor!" ”

Surrounded by Xia Jun, Wei Qi was difficult to show that he was as comfortable as Liu Yuan, and said simply: "King Xia praised it!" Fools in the countryside, how can there be any style! After speaking, wait for Liu Yuan's reaction.

……

After talking with Wei Qi for more than a quarter of an hour, Liu Yuan let him go, and then the Xia army withdrew, and the withdrawal was not separated from the water, and there was no infringement on Wei's grass and trees.

Subsequently, Liu Yuan's royal order came out from Anyi, and Wei Qi, the head of the Wei clan, was recruited as the chief of the Xia Dynasty, and Wei Qi "happily" went to the post, and at the same time offered a lot of money and food to the Xia army to reward the army. Slowly, the children of the Wei family also have many people who have descended to Xia as officials. The Wei clan was surrendered, Hedong was much calmer all of a sudden, and Liu Yuan also stopped the Xia army from continuing to invade.

At that time, Liu Yuan didn't say much nonsense to Wei Qi, and only gave him two things, a bloody short sword and an official seal, and let him choose for himself.
