For Qin Shaoyou, there are a lot of things he has to do now, the newly collected five towns have spent so much money, although it has stabilized the hearts of the people, and through the establishment of the five military camps, almost all the towns have been completely included in the hands of the Shence Mansion.

Coupled with the fact that almost all the governors were under control, there was no need to worry about their loyalty, and a large number of officials appointed from the Shence Mansion went to the towns to 'assist' the governors, basically, Qin Shaoyou's rule over the two hundred and thirty-two counties of the five towns and thirty-one prefectures was already solid.

But...... Obviously, for Qin Shaoyou, this is a gratifying result, but for the princes in the council hall, it is another matter.

The councillors of the council hall originally represented the interests of all parties, including the Shence Army, the merchants and scholars, and some scholars, but now, these people have merged with each other, and to a certain extent, they are actually just an ironclad interest group.

The scholars are no longer simple landlords, and even the vast majority of the scholars in Henan Province, and now their proportion of business has far exceeded the expenditure on farmland, which means that no matter which family in Hongnong, in fact, in essence, they have become a giant with a prominent family background.

These huge chaebols, who have extended their tentacles into all walks of life, are obviously hungry.

A few months ago, because of the many policies of various towns, the commercial activities of Henan Province began to shrink, and many people did not have a good time, but now, Qin Shaoyou has won the five towns, and many people have begun to sharpen their knives.

A large number of works have made them begin to gear up, and above all, a large number of goods are also in urgent need of being dumped, and there are even people who have the will to set up some workshops in the towns.

After all, building a workshop on the ground can save a lot of unnecessary transportation costs. Although the canal has been opened, it is always convenient to be nearby.

Merely...... Regarding the current environment of the five towns, the councillors of the council hall are obviously extremely dissatisfied.

First, there is a shortage of manpower, and it is really difficult to meet their needs with the registered manpower, and the vast majority of the labor force is actually in the form of slaves and slaves, hidden under the local wealthy families, and the population is ...... It's all about it. For example, in Shuofang Town, the registered population is pitiful, but many people estimate that the real population may be two to three times the current number, and the excess manpower has all been concealed.

Beyond that, it's the land, whether it's a workshop or a storehouse. Or build bridges and pave roads, these require a lot of land, if the land is insufficient, once the commercial houses are crazy to buy land. It will inevitably lead to a sharp rise in land prices until the commercial banks can no longer bear it, and the biggest profiteers will naturally be. It has become a local wealthy family.

These are obviously situations that the major commercial banks in Henan Province never want to see, and they go to the five towns to throw money in order to make profits. It's not to share that huge profit with the local wealthy family. Otherwise, everyone will be a landlord, just sit on the land and share the spoils, so why worry about what kind of workshop to set up.

At the beginning, in order to suppress the wealthy families in Henan, Qin Shaoyou used a policy of redemption, giving them a little sweetness and benefits, and then slowly trying to get them in exchange for their local control over the land and population.

Of course, there are brutal methods, but in the end, the policy of carrots and sticks has been continued, although it took a lot of effort and a lot of money, but the effect is remarkable.

But for these five towns, it is obviously difficult for Henan Mansion, which is now in ruins, to take out those astronomical sums of money to redeem it, and there are many reasons for this, such as the power of the businessmen represented by Qin Shaoyou is still very weak, if it is too rough, it is very likely to be counterattacked, and in the end, the gains outweigh the losses, and there is that Henan Mansion is entrenched in countless high-ranking families, and their strength is obviously not comparable to the local tyrants in Shuofang, Zhaoyi, Shenwei, and Zhenwu, so obviously, the council hall has no intention of redeeming at all. However, under the auspices of Yang Jiong, many laws and regulations related to the five towns were passed in succession.

When these decrees spread from Luoyang to Weizhou, Qin Shaoyou was really shocked when he saw it.

These so-called decrees are so familiar, such as the abolition of slaves, anyone who raises private slaves, once reported, is guilty of a felony, such as the restoration of Wang Tian, the so-called Wang Tian, naturally a lot of land is directly confiscated, and naturally it is the Shence Mansion, such as encouraging money to borrow Yunyun.

It's clear...... It is the decree implemented by Wang Mang's new policy.

And now, the makeover has appeared more than a thousand years later.

And Wang Mang's new policy, which can be described as a negative teaching material for reform, looks very advanced, and even makes people suspicious, this Wang Mang is simply a traverser, but in fact, these things look beautiful, but in fact, in the late Western Han Dynasty, it could not be implemented at all, but it touched the interests of Haoqiang at that time, plus Wang Mang was not right, and suddenly the world was in flames, and Wang Mang's new policy naturally entered hell with Wang Mang's new dynasty.

It's just that I never imagined that the so-called new policy passed by the council hall is actually the same as Wang Mang's new policy, this kind of measures, in fact, are used to crack down on the five towns and strong, if those heroes are unwilling to give up the population and land, then what will be ushered in is the heavy blow of the Shence Mansion, and if it conforms to the current situation, it may become a group of new local business tycoons.

In any case, these measures are obviously extremely precise strikes, and they are almost tailor-made decrees for Henan's big commercial banks to encroach on the five towns.

And the reason why these people unscrupulously formulated such radical and harsh laws is also because the emerging super interest groups that have merged with the magnates and the nobles are disdainful of those small fish and shrimp in the local area.

At the end of these decrees is a sentence: "Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish."

But...... Qin Shaoyou weighed it for a long time, and also listened to the suggestions of Wang Ju and others, and finally found that this decree was feasible.

If the problem of private slavery is not solved, more people will not be able to be liberated, and the effective population will be lost, and the Shence Mansion will also be a victim, after all, there are fewer people who pay taxes, and there are fewer strong men recruited.

As for the land question, it is the fundamental problem of all things, and if it cannot be solved, it is obvious that the administration of the Shence Government must rely on the local power. The only way to break these so-called township party relations that rely on land to connect with others is to do everything possible to completely eradicate the basis on which they depend.

Way...... It's possible.

Although it is a so-called new policy that has almost failed, it is different from the past, Wang Mang's set cannot be implemented in Chang'an, and it cannot be implemented decades ago, but for the current Shence Mansion, it is simply tailor-made.

Qin Shaoyou pondered for a long time. There was also some bargaining with the council, and in the end, these aggressive bills were revised into a more modest plan, and handed over to the Shence Mansion for them to promote.

That being said...... Before the results of the promotion came out, Qin Shaoyou was still quite apprehensive, after all, ...... There is no precedent for this, and I don't know if those damaged heroes will jump for a while. Of course, it should be suppressed if he jumps, after all, Qin Shaoyou does not rely on a group of powerful people to govern the place, this is the method used by the imperial court. Qin Shaoyou's back is the giants and the Shi clan group in Henan Province.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

These days have been waiting for the news from Henan, Qin Shaoyou seems to have nothing to do, of course he wants to return to Luoyang early. However, for Weizhou here, there is always some peace of mind, before the five military camps are completely built. Qin Shaoyou didn't dare to easily take the Shence Army to 'return to the court'.

Today, he sat idle with nothing to do, and in the early morning he saw Wang Fangyi and said something about the Fifth Army Camp, so he was bored and read some books, and was about to take a nap, and then read some urgent official documents sent from Henan.

Who knew that someone came to report at this time, and Zheng Rong and Zheng Tong, the governor, asked to see him.

Here it comes......

Qin Shaoyou knew that Zheng Rong was definitely coming, and after calculating the day, Ye was almost time to arrive.

This time he pitted the Zheng family, which made Qin Shaoyou gain a lot, on the one hand, it hit Webster hard and put Webster in even greater trouble. On the other hand, it has turned the Zheng family from his own enemy to his 'friend', and this kind of friend is definitely the kind that belongs to the two ribs, and there is absolutely no need to worry about their betrayal.

So hearing this news, Qin Shaoyou was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Please come in." ”

Originally, as Zheng Rong, Qin Shaoyou had to open the middle door to greet him, and when it came to official positions, he was not even as good as Zheng Rong.

But Qin Shaoyou knows the position and position of both sides, in this world larger than the size of a fist, if Qin Shaoyou is a corporal with a relatively low status, people may be flattered, but for a person like Zheng Rong, even if you greet him, you will definitely not be honored and grateful, but it is better to wait here, let him understand his current identity and situation, in this way, it will be easier to get along in the future.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Not long after, Zheng Rong and Zheng Tong came in, Zheng Rong was very polite, and saluted directly, saying, "I've seen Your Highness." According to the qualifications, Zheng Rong did not salute Qin Shao first, whether it was official or seniority, there was a gap between the two sides, but Zheng Rong did not hesitate, obviously this time, he was prepared.

For people like Zheng Rong, his personal honor and disgrace can be let go, for him, life is only a hundred years, and many things are nothing, but his own family has to reproduce and exist for countless generations, people like Zheng Rong are the same as Yang Jiong, there is no difference, although they have a noble status, to a certain extent, they are just slaves of the family.

Zheng Tong saw Zheng Rong like this, where did he dare to slack off, he felt quite aggrieved for the eldest brother in his heart, what kind of person is the eldest brother, but now, he wants to grovel to Qin Shaoyou, hey...... Who's to blame for this, blame me.

Zheng Tong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Zheng Tong, I have seen His Royal Highness." ”

Qin Shaoyou smiled slightly and said, "Ha...... It was Zheng Shizhong who came, Zheng Shizhong was not in Beijing, why did he come here. ”

Zheng Tong's heart is bleeding, this is your mother, my eldest brother is not in Jingshi, it is not because of you, it is good now, but you asked knowingly.

But it seems that cunning people have the stinky problem of knowingly asking.

Zheng Rong didn't have any slander in his heart, he came to lose sincerity this time, he himself knows very well that the future of the Zheng family can only be pinned on the young man in front of him in the future, although it is a little sad, but he is powerless to change, since this is the case, naturally there is no need to play tricks, but it is better to be more frank: "The old man came to protect His Highness, if His Highness does not give up, the Zheng family is willing to serve His Highness and be driven by His Highness." ”

Straight to the point, there was no twist and turn, and he directly said that he was asking for others, and he said his difficult situation, neither hiding anything, nor playing any word games.

This attitude is simply treating himself as a fish on the board, looking like he is being slaughtered by Qin Shaoyou.

Qin Shaoyou couldn't help laughing, Zheng Rong's performance was beyond his expectations.

is different from the treacherous Zheng Rong, this Zheng Rong, although Qin Shaoyou has seen it many times when he was in Luoyang, but he doesn't deal with it much, but now it seems that Zheng Rong is indeed a very smart person, much smarter than Zheng Tong, who can only play with his heart.

Since the matter is already very clear, any little cleverness may cause the suspicion of others, and once Qin Shaoyou is suspicious, the consequences are obviously not something that the Zheng family can bear, so he chose the most direct and effective method, but this method is very appetizing to Qin Shaoyou.

Qin Shaoyou laughed and said, "This ...... How can this king be virtuous, but ...... Since Zheng Gong is here, this king is also a very good talker, but Zheng Gong has something to ask, this king naturally has to do his best, and he will never teach Zheng Gong to be disappointed. ”

This is to give Zheng Rong a reassurance pill first.

Although Zheng Rong had long expected this result, because he still had usable value, Qin Shaoyou should not give up, but now that he heard Qin Shaoyou say it in person, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
