As soon as Zhou Yu said this, everyone in the audience couldn't help but be shocked. Zhou Yu's words, on the surface, meant that he wanted to completely separate the plain from Gongsun Zhan's rule, so as to become Liu Bei's own.

Why Liu Bei was blocked everywhere in the plain, in the final analysis, it was because the plain was taken over from Gongsun Zhan.

Whether it is the officials or the people below, they still default to the rule of Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Bei, the prime minister of the plains, is sometimes said to be in vain.

Liu Bei said with a little hesitation: "If you do this, how should Brother Bogui explain it?" ”

"We don't need to change anything, brother just needs to do a good job of this plain country with peace of mind, and then wait for those wealthy families to make their own choices. At that time, the situation in the plains has been decided, so no one can say anything. ”

"I don't know how the fourth brother should convince those wealthy families?"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and continued: "We are giving them benefits, I believe they will not refuse." ”

"To be more precise, we are giving land to tenant farmers and tenant households, most of whom have to attach themselves to the powerful people in those places because the land has been annexed."

When everyone heard Zhou Yu's words, they all seemed to have caught some point, and Jian Yong asked: "Those tenant farmers and tenants are the foundation of the wealthy family, how can they give it up easily?" ”

Zhou Yu said to Jian Yong that he had thought about this question for a long time, and knew that this was no less than cutting off a piece of meat on the body of a local hero, but he still said with a straight face:

"Actually, I prefer to call it an internal farming war, the purpose of which is to protect the territory and the people, and at the same time cultivate and build an army that belongs to the plains. At this time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thieves plundered, how could those people disagree when they were in danger. ”

"And after we divide the land to the tenant tenant farmers, we can agree that the harvest will be divided among the three parties, and even say that after the cultivation will be long, the ownership of the land can be completely given to that person."

"After they have been given land and food and become freemen, how can they not be grateful to their brother, and then his brother will be able to reap the hearts of the people of the plains. What the plains really need now is a group of freemen, not a group of tenant farmers and tenants who are attached to the local powers. ”

After Liu Bei heard Zhou Yu's words, his face finally showed a hint of excitement, but then he shook his head, he had a deeper understanding of the greed of those local tyrants:

"If that's all there is, I'm afraid it's not enough to impress those local giants."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "What if this ploughing war is organized in townships, and the command of the township armies can be delegated to these local heroes under certain conditions?" ”

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Guan Yu stood up directly: "This is not good, if these local wealthy clans have their own army, won't they be even more domineering in the future." ”

However, Liu Bei keenly noticed the words in Zhou Yu's words: "What does this mean under certain conditions?" ”

"The premise is that the army of each township must be formed and trained by us, and the people who can command the army temporarily must also be from our army."

"In fact, this is more like an exchange of interests, we are out of the land, the wealthy family is out of people, and the people are out of force. As long as all three parties get what they want, then I believe this deal can be maintained very well. ”

Jian Yong still had some worries in his eyes: "If you do it like this, will the situation in the plains be even worse in the future?" ”

"I don't think so." At this time, Tian Yu, who had not made a sound since entering the house, suddenly said.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Tian Yu couldn't help but be a little nervous for a while, Zhou Yu looked at Tian Yu and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's talk about your thoughts." ”

Zhou Yu is still looking forward to Tian Yu, if Liu Bei wants to develop in Jingzhou and Yizhou in the future, then Tian Yu is not often a person who can be trusted.

When Tian Yu heard Zhou Yu's words, he felt a little confident in his heart, after all, he was still a newcomer in this team: "I think the most important thing this time is the four words 'protecting the territory and relieving the people' that Mr. just mentioned." ”

When the people present heard Tian Yu's words, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but look at Zhou Yu, wanting to get an accurate answer from Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu glanced at Tian Yu appreciatively, this person really did not live up to his expectations in vain: "That's right, our cultivation battle this time must be carried out closely around the four words 'protecting the territory and relieving the people', otherwise it will be difficult to get a response from the people of the plains and the wealthy clan." ”

"We want to make people feel like we're here to help them, not them to help us."

"At that time, we and the plains, you have me, I have you, then the plains can be used by us!"

Liu Bei stood up directly after hearing Zhou Yu's words, and this was the first time Liu Bei stood up since the beginning of this discussion: "Wonderful! If this plan is successful, it will definitely benefit for a while. ”

Zhou Yu's hand was tightly held by Liu Bei at this time: "Fourth brother, it's really a blessing for me to meet sour jujubes." ”

"Brother, this matter needs to be done as soon as possible, if Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao start to fight, Hebei will be chaotic, and there is not much time left for us."

Liu Bei nodded: "I'll write the paperwork and send it to the various families in the plains." ”

"As for the paperwork, let's let the second brother and the third brother personally lead the troops to deliver it, otherwise I'm afraid it won't attract their attention."

……

Late at night, Cui Jing, the contemporary head of the Cui family in Qinghe County, was holding a document and checking it repeatedly, and only put the document aside after a long time, and said with a slight emotion: "I thought that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were worth mentioning in Hebei, but I never thought that there would be such heroes." ”

Cui Lin was also attracted by the documents put aside, and he also sighed with some emotion: "I can't match this person's talent." If this move is successful, it will be much better than Yuan Benchu's plot against Jizhou, and the so-called moral politics will be nothing more than this. ”

"Deru, what do you think about this?"

"When I look at my uncle's expression, I know that I must have made a decision in my heart, so why should I say it again."

Cui Jing looked at her nephew Zhengse and said, "My intention is to send you to serve under Liu Xuande's camp, I don't know what you think?" ”

Cui Lin's young face suddenly had a hint of a smile: "My nephew is trying to get acquainted with such a talent, and I hope that my uncle will be successful." ”

Cui Jing patted Cui Lin on the shoulder: "Okay, you are worthy of being the descendant of my Cui family." ”

"You follow that Liu Xuande may not be worse than your brother Cui Yan following Yuan Shao, in my opinion, in this troubled world, the slogan of protecting the territory and relieving the people will definitely be more popular than those slogans of meritorious service."

"Uncle, why should I worry about me, Liu Xuande alone has won the position of Qingzhou pastor, which proves that his ambition is not small. If I work for this person, I will have a lot to do. ”

Cui Jing looked at her nephew's firm eyes, and was a little relieved for a while, Cui's family can guarantee a hundred years of worry-free.
