When Gao Yuan came to Jinyang, Chen Lin and Xin Bi led the state officials to greet him. Too many officials showed disgruntled expressions, all of whom were from the noble clan, and were very resistant to the lofty land reform policy. But they still have a glimmer of illusion, so they're still here.

However, the people spontaneously organized themselves to welcome Gao Yuan's arrival, which was something that was not seen in other princes at all. This comes from the good governance of Gao Yuan and close to the people, which has won him the support of the people.

As for the support of the scholars, Gao Yuan, who came here in poverty and whiteness, has never received the support of the scholars at all. He didn't have even a day's relationship with the nobles, which made him naturally able to carry out good governance close to the people.

Gao Yuan dismounted and responded to the people who supported him. Bursts of voices spread to Jinyang City.

This made Sima Yi and others see his people's foundation, the world of those who won the hearts of the people, and in the hearts of Sima Yi and others, perhaps Gao Yuan would become the only prince who could dominate the world without the support of the scholars.

The contest between the power of the people and the power of the nobles began at this moment.

Tens of thousands of people in Jinyang rushed to see Gao Yuan's demeanor, and after he came to the mansion, he did not disperse for a long time.

In the palace, Gao Yuantang sat high and looked at the people: "Jinyang will be used as a pilot to implement the peasant land ownership system." ”

The hearts of the Shi clan officials sank.

Since the Jinyang royal family will be the first pilot, so on this night, all the big and small clans around Jinyang came to Wangjiabao, which is located ten miles away from Jinyang County. There are more than 20 of these people, but we can't underestimate these 20 or so, but they have 80% of the land in their hands. In each person's family, there are hundreds of soldiers at a small number, and there are thousands of soldiers, for example, the Wang family, the leader of the Bingzhou Shi clan, has 5,000 soldiers.

These soldiers came from tenants who had cultivated their land for generations and were required to serve as a conscript.

The various families in the hall were very angry, "Gao Mengyan must not be allowed to carry out his land reform." ”

"This is definitely pushing us to a dead end."

"How can the land of our ancestors be given up to someone else?"

"Gao Mengyan is the Yellow Turban Thief!"

Gao Yuan will never be a yellow turban thief, he will be much more advanced than Zhang Jiao's people. The reform of the feudal peasant land ownership system with lofty characteristics will bring earth-shaking changes to this era.

In the hall, Wang Ze, the head of the Wang family, frowned. He used to be the Taishou of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his son was even more remarkable later, and he was the official of the Wei State. His family is the largest gate valve in Bingzhou, with thousands of hectares of fertile land and more than 10,000 tenants. So he can also think of why Gao Yuan was the first to use his own home as a pilot.

Wang Ze was still quite calm, and said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, that Gao Mengyan will come here tomorrow, wait for me to test it, and then make plans." ”

On the second day, Gao Yuan arrived as scheduled.

He couldn't help but be a little shocked, because this palace was built on a hill, the area is huge, and there are even ten meters high city walls, similar to European castles, of course, it is a castle rich in the architectural characteristics of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "My lord, the Wang family once relied on the castle to block the attack of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops. ”

Sima Yi should be reminding something, Gao Yuan nodded when he heard this.

When Gao Yuan came to the gate of the castle, more than 100 people from the Wang family came out to greet him, and there were countless slaves and maids accompanying him. There are also sword and axe soldiers wearing leather armor around, all of whom can be regarded as mighty. The soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, some pieces of wood were strung together as armor, if it weren't for Gao Yuan knocking 10,000 sets of armor from Yuan Shao, the soldiers' equipment would not be as good as this Wang family.

There are people with money and food, the emperor of the soil, Gao Yuan can be regarded as having seen the strength of the scholars. But Gao Yuan will not have any fear, because Grandpa Mao said that all reactionaries are paper tigers.

Gao Yuan glanced at Sima Yi, it was with the support of the private soldiers of the Shi clan that Sima Yi successfully launched the coup d'état in Gaopingling. Subsequently, Sima Yi, who received the support of too many scholars, successfully completed the transformation to Cao Cao. The gentry must be outlawed, because the interests of the gentry conflict with the interests of the state, and it can be seen that they only possess a large number of means of production without paying taxes.

"See General Gao." Wang Ze led the whole clan to salute.

After a while, Gao Yuantang sat high, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun stood left and right, and Zhou Cang carried Fang Tian's halberd. Before he could speak, Wang Ze said first, he bowed and said very respectfully: "General Gao is here, it is really a celebration of Chaimen, and it is full of glory." Since the general settled in the state, Wang Ze has never had the opportunity to see it, and in the future, wherever the Wang family is useful, the general said that it would be okay. In the coming summer, the Wang family will have 5,000 stone of military rations to be sent to the front of the army. ”

Looking at the gorgeous halls around me, I said in my heart that if you are here in Chaimen, I will be a kennel there. However, he also knew that this was a sign of loyalty, and his opening was five thousand stones, which was much richer than the Lu Su family.

On Gao Yuan's side, land reform must be carried out. Why was Liu Bei's Shuzhong able to mobilize an army of 700,000 and support Zhuge Liang's six expeditions out of Qishan and Jiang Wei's nine northern expeditions. It was because after Liu Bei's group of people entered, he accepted Zhao Yun's opinion and returned the land and houses to the people. This allowed too much of the population not to be controlled by the scholars, and it could be used by Liu Bei's court.

And Sun Quan has been in Jiangdong for three generations, and there have not been many soldiers, why is this? It is because the Jiangnan Gate Valve is deeply entrenched and firmly controls the land and the population on the land.

Gao Yuan signaled, and Sima Yi took out the bamboo slip and handed it to Wang Ze. When Wang Ze looked at it, Gao Yuan said: "Your Wang family, twenty years ago, there were only 1,000 hectares, but now there are 10,000 hectares. How this extra land was obtained, I believe that you don't need to say it to General Ben, you know better than me. ”

As soon as Wang Ze heard this, the sweat on his forehead fell. Of course, he knew how his family's fortune had skyrocketed.

The Wang family is consistent with the local tyrants and inferior gentry in later generations, which is nothing more than collusion with the government to seize the money.

Sima Yi said from the side: "My lord's new policy, you will return these lands to the original family, and under the new land system, your family will keep a certain amount of land." You can grow your own or rent it to other people, but there will be a uniform standard for rent. ”

Sima Yi whispered in private: "Lord Wang, the little nephew advises you in private, the sky is different now, don't think about anything wrong." The lord did not deprive us of our furniture, and although we lost our land, there were many other ways to make money. ”

Although Sima Yi had not followed Gao Yuan for a long time, he keenly noticed that Gao Yuan was different from other princes. At first, he thought that Gao Yuan was just doing it, but he soon discovered that Gao Yuan had a whole set of formed theories. This theory is so profound that it can replace the current system. And Sima Yi's wisdom can see the advancedness.

This made Sima Yi look forward to the lofty future, and therefore began to work in peace. Following someone who may be able to truly change the world is the best choice for someone like Sima Yi.

Of course, Gao Yuan only picked some advanced ideas that could be combined with today's later generations, and slightly reformed this era, focusing on agriculture and industry, and politically using the more advanced centralized system of the later feudal dynasties would not conflict with his hegemony.

It can be said that it is a feudal system with lofty characteristics.

These methods and measures were hundreds or thousands of years ahead of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and for someone like Sima Yi who can understand, they must be very amazing.

But Gao Yuan can't be achieved overnight, and the fact that it still needs to be done step by step, land reform, knocking out the gentry clan is the first step. Under the unified system of selling and renting, he could allow enlightened landlords who were diligent and rich, but he would never allow nobles.

However, the person who seems to be able to think of Sima Yi is too feathery and phoenix. For example, Wang Ze only has land in his mind, and the concept that land is the life of the scholar clan is deeply rooted. He suppressed the anger in his heart, he would never give up the land, so he delayed time, bowed and said, "General Gao, can you give the old man some time." ”

"It's okay, this governor is waiting for news from Wang Lao."

After Gao Yuan left, the Wang family exploded, and the upper and lower generations immediately surrounded Wang Ze.

"Don't make any noise!" Wang Ze's face gradually showed madness, and he said fiercely: "In this case, immediately send someone to inform the family masters, who are willing to fight against Gao Yuan, and can bring troops to the Wang family castle as soon as possible." In the arraignment of Yuan Gong, I merged with all the tribes of the state to support him to retake the state. ”

Following Wang Ze's order, countless messengers galloped away
