Chapter 144: Bloody Storm
Zhang Xiang didn't know how he fell asleep that day, anyway, as soon as Zhang Xiang woke up, he could be said to have gotten the state, Zhang Xiang even had the illusion that his dream came true, but looking at everything strange around him, he knew that everything was true.
Zhang Xiang got the state, was the first group of people to rise in the late Han Dynasty, the last fig leaf of the Han Dynasty was completely torn apart by Zhang Xiang, Yuan Shao and others, some people say that Zhang Xiang is an ambitious rebel.
But more people chose to be attached, Lu Pi's family also moved out of Taihang Mountain and moved into Bingzhou, Zhang Xiang of course welcomed it very much, all major families were betting everywhere, and the Lu family put all the bets on Zhang Xiang.
Directly sent more than 300 family members to join Zhang Xiang's forces, many of these people are strong in force, the Lu family is also fighting, they must go all out when they are born in the troubled times, otherwise there will be no place for them to stand again.
In fact, the Lu family was also forced to be born, Taihang Mountain is no longer as calm as before, Zhang Yan led the Yellow Turban Thief Kou to hide in the Taihang Mountain Range, and the number of people has grown rapidly in recent years.
can already threaten the Lu family, the Lu family can't choose Zhang Yan, but can only choose Zhang Xiang, and just when the Lu family made up their minds, Zhang Xiang happened to win the entire state.
Lu Pi is also only famous in the Han Dynasty, and the two arrows outside the Tiger Prison Pass set the red rabbit, and the Lu family made up their minds to follow Zhang Xiang, and tied the entire family to Zhang Xiang's chariot, both glory and loss.
After Zhang Xiang occupied the state, he transferred a large number of troops to the county seat in the west, in order to prevent Dong Zhuo's army, although Dong Zhuo was addicted to alcohol after returning to Chang'an, and did not deal with political affairs.
It seems that the ambition is extinguished, but no one can guarantee when this greedy wolf in Liangzhou will be hungry and bite you, Zhang Xiang can no longer believe in history, history can only play a role as a reference. But it doesn't have to happen.
Zhang Xiang transferred most of his cronies out and distributed them to various parts of the locality, and at the same time transferred the local county officials to his side, in order to increase his dominance, but Zhang Xiang found that this method did not work much.
In fact, most of the county officials in the county town come out to eat, and there are few who are really capable. The role of his side is also dispensable, but it is the private soldiers of those families who really cause trouble to Zhang Xiang.
Zhang Xiang already has the energy and time to take care of the place, and the biggest obstacle he encounters is these moths, of course, these moths are not everywhere, and many talents come from these moths.
There are indeed a lot of talents in the cold door, but they are not as good as these moths in terms of quantity, Zhang Xiang does not have so much time to select talents one by one, these moths can make up for Zhang Xiang's problems.
What Zhang Xiang lacks most now are those petty officials who can govern the place, and Zhang Xiang can't put the talents of these local families in the original place. In that case, the collusion between their officials and families will be too big to end.
This is not a good thing for Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang can only transfer water from the south to the north and place these talents in different places, perhaps Zhang Xiang has always been too tolerant of these local families.
So that these families are becoming more and more unscrupulous, they all think that the small actions they do are seamless in the world and will not be known by others, but these things are finally placed in front of Zhang Xiang through Yang Xu's hand.
These families are sanctimonious on the outside, but they do nothing evil in private. Annexing land to store dead soldiers is the most intolerable thing for Zhang Xiang. Zhang Xiang can turn a blind eye to their troubled places.
After all, when the water is clear, there are no fish, since these families have brought Zhang Xiang some benefits, Zhang Xiang naturally has to give them a little sweetness, which is a matter of courtesy.
But some families like to step on the line and like to play with fire, so don't blame others for not being emotional, of course, Zhang Xiang can't be killed with one shot. Otherwise, no one would want to do things for themselves.
So Zhang Xiang can only kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, but how to choose chickens is still a problem, Zhang Xiang, Yang Xu, and Cheng Yu are all looking at various local families and choosing the most suitable dead chickens for monkeys.
It has jurisdiction over 91 counties in nine counties, including Shangdang, Taiyuan, Shangjun, Xihe, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen and Shuofang, except for 14 counties in Yanmen. Other counties have more or less family troubles.
This is a scourge that penetrates deep into the spinal cord, and it takes fierce medicine to cure a serious illness, Zhang Xiang decided to kill a chicken in each of the seventy-seven county towns, and the state is Zhang Xiang's first territory, and it is also Zhang Xiang's most important territory, and he can not allow any instability.
In order to select seventy-seven chickens, Zhang Xiang and others spent seven days, weighing the pros and cons of all parties, and some of the ones that were not suitable for Zhang Xiang to do were handled by Yu Zeng.
As a result, Yu Zeng can't get mixed up in Bingzhou, Zhang Xiang is not suitable to start, either he is very related to the local area or has a very background in the court, although the court has existed in name only, but no one dares to really stand up and defy the court.
Dong Zhuo can only abolish the young emperor and set up a new emperor, and in the future, Cao Cao will also coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which represents the invisible binding force of the imperial court.
Yu Zeng once helped Zhang Xiang when he was in Jinyang, and Zhang Xiang could only dissociate himself from him and gave Yu Zeng a lot of money to cover up, but in fact, it was just a formality, and the money entered the right pocket from Zhang Xiang's left pocket.
Zhang Xiang actually didn't intend to hide it from everyone, but he just blocked everyone's mouths on the surface, and there was nothing that everyone couldn't get by with if they could get by on face, and finally Zhang Xiang pretended to turn his face with Yu Zeng.
Yu Zeng was forced to leave the state and develop in other states and counties, and when Yu Zeng left, Zhang Xiang personally sent him away, and he did not need Yu Zeng in other states, but other places did need Yu Zeng to operate.
After Yu Zeng left Bingzhou, he had to start from scratch, and without Zhang Xiang's help, it was very laborious like a cattle to open up a wasteland, Zhang Xiang had nothing to do for him, he could only do some small things like seeing off to make himself feel at ease.
Except for the goal for Yu Zeng, which was completed on the first day, the families in other places were solved in batches, causing a terrible storm to blow among the local families.
Everyone knows who the initiator is, but they have been scared by Zhang Xiang, and they don't know who Zhang Xiang's next target is, a butcher's knife hanging on their heads, no one can feel at ease.
They began to stubbornly stammer Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang showed no leakage, so that these local families did not see any gaps, flies did not bite seamless eggs, and these families did not find Zhang Xiang's seams.
can only start from the people around Zhang Xiang, Zhang Hao and others have moved to the Jinyang Yuan Thorn Mansion, these days they have received a lot of heavy gifts, they received Zhang Xiang's hint that all gifts will not be refused.
These things should not be in vain for Zhang Xiang, and even more so, since the woman was given to Zhang Hao as a concubine, Zhang Hao's backyard was smashed.
Zhang Hao is rough on the surface, but he is actually very afraid of guilt, and he has not gone back to the room to sleep for several days, and he has been dealing with it in the guest room for one night, for which Zhang Hao also complained about Zhang Xiang, but this matter was known by Zhang Fei and laughed at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao and Zhang Fei are more like brothers than father and son, this time Zhang Fei ridiculed Zhang Hao as a brother, and what he got was the majesty of Zhang Hao's father, and he beat Zhang Fei hard.
Zhang Fei and Zhang Hao have never been soft, in fact, Zhang Xiang did not say what he thought, he did not object to Zhang Hao marrying these families, and a few such stepmothers are also very beneficial to Zhang Xiang's rule.
However, after seeing Zhang Fei's appearance, Zhang Xiang was very glad that he had escaped a catastrophe, this bloody storm led by Zhang Xiang finally lasted for a month and ended, and those local families did not dare to disobey Zhang Xiangyang.
Beat a stick to give a sweet date, and the rest of the place also got a lot of benefits in this bloody storm, and they also understood that only by listening to Zhang Xiang's words could they get more benefits.
With the support of the families in these places, Zhang Xiang is really firmly in the position of the lord of the state, and there is no one in the state to stop Zhang Xiang, and Zhang Xiang can also grow up as a source of recruitment.
But Zhang Xiang didn't have so much money, so Zhang Xiang could only follow Cao Cao's military tun, which was different from the ordinary tuntian, which was a soldier who was busy training and farming when he was busy, and he didn't delay.
In this way, Zhang Xiang also has better management, Tuntian is very easy to say but it is difficult to do, and the land in the state is barren, and the grain output is actually not large, Zhang Xiang can only win by quantity, and a large number of wasteland is used to produce grain.
At the same time, Zhang Xiang began to plant a large amount of cotton, in recent years, Zhang Xiang has obtained cotton seeds in his mother's house, and has produced a lot, enough to use the tuntian, although the land in the state is not good for grain production, but the production of cotton is not a problem.
Zhang Xiang started trading through the relationship between truth and falsehood, exchanging these cotton for grain and grass, the Zhen family deserved to be a businessman's family, and soon saw the value of cotton and purchased a large number of them.
The price is also very considerable, so that the Zhen family has made a lot of money in the north, and cotton is also well known to northerners, so there are also many caravans in Bingzhou, and the price of cotton is getting louder and higher.
It's about to catch up with the price of grain, Zhang Xiang looked at a large pile of white cotton and seemed to see the money starting for him, but Zhang Xiang also knew that this was only temporary, and many people would follow suit if cotton was good, and when other people planted cotton, the price of cotton would definitely drop.
can only bring short-term high returns to himself, and it will only increase some popularity in the future, but Zhang Xiang is already very content, and the tariffs received by Zhang Xiang during this period are several times that of before.
No one doesn't like money, not to mention people like Zhang Xiang who can use money everywhere, Zhang Xiang used to send money out lavishly, but this time he finally saw the money back, and it was really not easy. (To be continued.) )
