This time, Fan Guoshi had the full support of the emperor, and the plan was carried out smoothly without any hindrance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But it is obvious that while Fan Guoshi is dedicated to the country, he is also quietly planning a layout for himself. The valuable lesson he has learned from decades of life experience is that only when he is strong enough can he live well.

Fan Guoshi is a smart person, of course he will not be like those fool-like families in the former Ping Zhou Dynasty, desperately digging into the corners of the country to fatten themselves. In the end, he was fat enough, but unfortunately the Ping Zhou Dynasty collapsed, and his wealth became the treasury of the Tuliao State.

Fan Guoshi's plan can be described as a win-win situation for the benefit of the country and the people. Of course, this "people" is first of all himself, and secondly, the big families who have taken refuge in the Tuliao State, don't mistake it for those ordinary people. Fan Guoshi knew very well that he had to win over some forces to lean towards him in order to stand firm. It is difficult to stand alone, this is the eternal truth.

Fan knew that he would never be able to truly win over the Ashina magnates, even though Ashina Huo'er was now working with him to help. But Fan Guoshi knew very well in his heart that it was just a relationship of mutual use. Fan Guoshi must develop his own power as soon as possible in order to cope with possible changes in the future in order to maintain his glory and wealth.

This time, Fan Guoshi is further wooing the families of the Tuliao Kingdom to throw themselves into him.

At the end of the new round of plans, Fan Guoshi added an additional one. At this time, all the Ashina nobles were worried that the land and goods that originally belonged to them would be divided again, and no one would have time to oppose this plan.

Taking advantage of the implementation of this policy, Fan Guoshi clarified the ownership of those clans to guard the imperial city, instead of hiding it as before, and sending a Tuliao president to take charge of the city.

Fan Guoshi directly asked the emperor to use the seal, and the holy decree was issued everywhere, and the ownership of the city was assigned to the families in those places. As long as you pay a full amount of taxes each year and send your children to fight according to the emperor's orders, you can own these cities and the nearby lands in perpetuity. The court of the Tuliao State no longer sent Tuliao commanders, and the cities in various places were completely owned by the local families.

As soon as this holy decree was made, those families who had already been a little disappointed in the Tuliao Kingdom instantly came to their spirits again! These families left over from the former Ping Zhou Dynasty have had an inexplicable attachment to the land and the city for generations. Fan Guoshi's measure just tickled their itch!

The Tuliao nobles who were originally stationed in the cities were all recalled and instead sent a nasi (an official in charge of collecting taxes) who only cared about the taxes that should be paid to the imperial court, and did not care about anything else.

As soon as Fan Guoshi did this, the family suddenly became enthusiastic again, and they immediately handed over the first batch of taxes, and gave away a large number of treasures.

Fan Guoshi took out a part of these taxes and distributed them to the Ashina nobles, and immediately blocked their mouths. The noble Ashina, who had received the benefits, no longer squeezed Fan Guoshi, and gradually quieted down. Money is always a stepping stone to power.

Fan Guoshi took these newly acquired goods and recruited tens of thousands of captives from the grassland again. Before and after, the Tuliao State had already recruited nearly 200,000 captive troops to enter the customs to participate in the war. Many subordinate tribes on the grassland were already a little dissatisfied, but they also couldn't stand the cartloads of goods sent by Fan Guoshi. Moreover, intimidated by the military deterrence of the Tuliao State, the elders and nobles of all ethnic groups could only accept the goods with a smile while crying and sending the young and strong people of the clan into the customs to participate in the war.

After Ashina Huo'er received the reinforcement of this captive army, the army formed a size again and began to jump up and down. At the same time, in Tuliao, those Ashina magnates who were originally dissatisfied with Fan Guoshi also honestly kept their mouths shut.

The commander of the army, Ashina Huo'er, openly said that if anyone could replenish his troops so quickly, he would support whoever presided over the affairs of the state. Even the little emperor has publicly stated many times that I can't go without a national teacher for a day, and the Tuliao country can't be without a national teacher for a day.

Although the nobles of the Ashina family were envious and jealous of this, they could only hold back their words in their hearts and secretly scold a few words. If you want them to admit that they are incompetent, and admit that Fan Guoshi is indeed capable, there is no door. People don't want to admit that others are better than themselves, otherwise the words "jealousy" and "envy" would not have been born.

Commander Xiao Liu originally thought that after a big war, the Tuliao Kingdom would not recover until the weather warmed up after the year. Unexpectedly, before the Chinese New Year, the Tuliao Kingdom successfully pulled up a large army.

Commander Xiao Liu recently developed a secret intelligence channel in Tuliao, so it didn't take long to know that this was a good thing done by Fan Guoshi.

"This Fan Guoshi is really a talent. In such a short period of time, tens of thousands of cavalry were able to be pulled out again. After seeing this information, Commander Xiao Liu couldn't hold back, and burst into foul language in front of his junior brother.

"What is this, as many Tuliao cavalry come, we will cut as many as we want. Will Fan Guoshi still scatter beans and become a soldier? Sooner or later, the Tuliao cavalry will be cut down by us, and it will be interesting to see what he will do to block the advance of our garrison regiment! Li Deyi didn't care about this, and opened his mouth to make bold remarks.

But Captain Xiao Liu smelled a strange smell from Fan Guoshi's series of measures.

Just say that the ownership of the city belongs to the family. A city is often guarded by three or five big families, so who should be the leader? How should taxes be distributed? How should the soldiers be dispatched each year? These are all extremely important keys. Power, money, and military strength are all deadly things.

Tuliao Guoshi Fan took the lead in this matter, and the other assistant ministers were all Ashina nobles, who didn't know a single big character. These things are not all up to Fan Guoshi alone.

This power is very large, and the number of cats that can be operated in it is simply incalculable.

Fan Guoshi can take this opportunity to vigorously attract a group of big families to get closer to him, and he can easily suppress those big families who are unwilling to be honest and obedient to him.

For example, let's just say that the annual tax is determined. The three families jointly guard a city, which family family takes refuge in Fan Guoshi, the annual quota of this city is 500,000 silver coins, then this family only needs to pay 100,000 silver coins. The remaining 400,000 yuan was paid by the other two families. This can cut your tax expenses in half!

In this way, those big families will inevitably rush to join Fan Guoshi. What if all the families in a city took refuge in Fan Guoshi? That's easier to do, whoever privately gives Fan Guoshi more benefits, who pays less taxes.

For example, several families jointly guard a city, so who should have the final say, and how to distribute power in the city? This is naturally arranged by Fan Guoshi.

There are all kinds of things like this, and Fan Guoshi has the final say. After these cities are assigned, Fan Guoshi's power in the Tuliao Kingdom may increase to a terrifying magnitude.

Thinking of this, Commander Xiao Liu had to admire Fan Guoshi's skill, which was indeed clever. Fan Guoshi's every move is for the sake of the Tuliao State, but if you look closely, you will find that he can still take care of his own interests well, benefiting the country and himself without delay.

Through a series of measures, Fan Guoshi conjured nearly 100,000 cavalry, tens of thousands of foot soldiers, and a large amount of goods for the Tuliao State as if he had created something out of nothing. And what he paid was only the city and a large area of uninhabited land that did not grow pasture that the emperor and Ashina nobles did not value.

This ability to manage the government, even the head of Xiao Liu can only sigh to himself.

But at the same time, Head Xiao Liu couldn't help but secretly scold the stupidity of those big families.

The dedication of these families to the land and the city is really amazing, and it can even be called stupid. In other words, their greed for land and cities has reached the point of nearing stupidity.

According to the current situation, it is not surprising that the Tuliao State will lose the entire Beiji Province next year. At this time, those big families in Northern Hebei Province still didn't care about it, and they fought for the ownership of a city.

I have to say that Fan Guoshi really understands the minds of these families left over from the Ping Zhou Dynasty, and knows the greedy and insatiable nature of these families. The catastrophe is about to come, and they are still desperately competing for the immediate interests, and these families don't seem to be aware of the imminent catastrophe.

In other words, they already knew that the Dingbei garrison would come sooner or later, and even slaughter their family. But these families just can't control the greed for profit in their hearts, and this greed can even cover the fear of death.

Fan Guoshi had already seen through the stupid and greedy nature of these great families, so he gently placed these lands and cities in front of these great families. In an instant, these centuries of great families forgot what courtesy, righteousness and shame, forgot what poetry and books heirlooms, forgot what family faces, and instantly turned into crazy flies that smelled the smell of, desperately competing for a big lump of stinky in front of them.

The ugliness of the Tuliao family who only looks at the immediate interests and does not care about the guillotine that is about to fall on the top of their heads is very similar to those families in Zhongshen City before the fall of the Ping Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, Zhongshen City was besieged by the Tuliao Army, but the families in the city were still fighting infighting. For the position of the garrison marshal of Zhongshen City, all the families in the city are vying for each other, and they all want to take this position in the hands of their own families, and take the opportunity to grasp the military power of Zhongshen City, so that in wartime, they can protect their family's property from loss as soon as possible.

At that time, the person who held the position of the garrison marshal of Zhongshen City was the experienced old marshal Chongdao, known as the old general.

In order to seize this position, after the old general repelled several sieges by the Tuliao cavalry, these families thought they were safe, and immediately united to impeach the old general for his selfish and conspiracy during the defense of the city.

The Son of Heaven of the Dou family was already a frightened bird at that time, and when he heard someone accusing the old general of a bad plot, he directly took it down, and he had no intention of asking the reason at all.

In the end, the old general was framed and unjustly imprisoned, and the position of the garrison marshal of Zhongshen City was also vacant.

After some competition between these families, Zhao finally got his wish and got this position. However, within a few years, the Tuliao cavalry made a comeback.

The newly appointed Marshal of Zhongshen City is proficient in eating, drinking, and playing, and is proficient in everything; Bow and horse martial arts battle formation strategy, everything is sparse. Not long after he took office, he ruined the three guards of Zhongshen City, which the old general had worked so hard to rebuild, and all the elite soldiers were driven away by him, and they were replaced by some children of families who were powerless and only wanted to spend money and mix up military qualifications.

With this kind of marshal and this kind of soldiers and horses guarding the city, Zhongshen City will naturally be quickly broken.

The Zhao family, who broke the head to compete for this military position and wanted to protect their property in wartime, ended up being a joke. These great families were also completely reduced to ashes with the fire of Zhongshen City. The dirty wealth they had obtained with all their efforts and means had also become the spoils of war for the Tuliao cavalry.

Sometimes, I have to say that God's retribution comes so quickly that people don't expect it. These big families framed the old marshal in prison on the front foot, and the back foot was broken through by the Tuliao iron cavalry, and the family was slaughtered and looted.

And now, in the several provinces controlled by the Tuliao State, a scene with a striking resemblance to the Zhongshen City has been repeated in almost every city. These families are as greedy and stupid as ever. I always think that I may be lucky enough not to die, maybe I can keep this hard-won wealth and power.

History is always strikingly similar. The only lesson that people learn from history is that people don't learn anything from history. (To be continued.) )
