There are several powerful families in Puyang County, among which the most solid family is the Huang family.

At this time, it was in the lobby of the Yellow Mansion. The head of the Huang family sat high in the hall.

Because he is the fourth, most people call him Huang Shilang.

In addition to Huang Shilang, there were several other members of the scholar clan who sat in the hall.

"Hehe, Master Huang's plan is still effective, I heard that the newly appointed Taishou Cao Cao almost turned green with anger!"

"It's okay to be angry, let him know that Dongjun is the world of our scholars!"

Everyone in the hall laughed.

Listening to their conversation, Huang Shilang in the hall did not say anything, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Seeing this, someone couldn't help but ask,

"What is Master Huang thinking?"

"I'm thinking, Cao Mengde is also a capable person, how should he respond to us?"

Huang Shilang said lightly.

"Hehe, no matter how capable Cao Apo is, can he fight with so many of our families?"

"That's it, this is Dongjun! If he's willing to bow down to us, that's the best. Otherwise, just wait and get out! ”

The members of the clan laughed, and Cao Cao was not taken seriously in their words.

While everyone was talking, suddenly a subordinate hurriedly ran in from outside.

"Master, it's not good!"

Huang Shilang frowned and said softly,

"What a panic! Take your time! ”

"Back to my lord, just now the villain found that two notices were posted at the entrance of the county office."

"A notice says that anyone with talent, regardless of their background, can come to the government to do things."

"Another notice says that anyone who is willing to reclaim wasteland can take the initiative to apply to the government."

"The government will provide farm tools, ploughing cattle, and seeds, but the land is reclaimed and cannot be traded!"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Shilang's face changed, and he lost his voice,

"Not good!"

"Why is Master Huang so excited?"

Someone hasn't come over yet, stupidly authentic.

"Idiot, can't you see that Cao Mengde is targeting us!"

Huang Shilang scolded.

The reason why the Shi clan is called the Shi clan is that they control the upward channel, and secondly, they own a large amount of land and population.

And now that Cao Cao is a meritocracy, he reuses the children of the Han family, and the foundation of the scholar clan is directly shaken.

Anyway, he encouraged the people to reclaim the wasteland.

In this way, how could the people continue to farm for the scholars, they must all go to reclaim the wasteland one by one!

If this goes on for a long time, the powerful forces of the Shi clan will definitely be suppressed!

Huang Shilang's face was quite embarrassed.

He, along with the other scholars, originally just wanted to give Cao Cao a dismount and let him take the initiative to bow to the nobles of Dongjun.

But he didn't expect Cao Cao to come with a backhand to draw salary.

Such a ruthless scheme is simply the life of the warriors!

It's just that I don't know if he came up with it himself, or if there is another master behind it!

Hearing Huang Shilang say this, the other members of the Shi clan also reacted one after another, realizing the seriousness of the problem!

"Cao Apu is so inappropriate!"

"Master Huang, you have to think of a way for us!"

Everyone looked at Huang Shilang with expectant eyes.

Huang Shilang frowned, his face was solemn, and after a long silence, he sneered,

"Since he Cao A is unkind, then don't blame us for being unjust!"

"Go back and tell the children of the clan who are officials to resign from their official positions immediately!"

"In addition, send out more people to stop those untouchables from cultivating wasteland!"

The members of the clan nodded their heads and said in unison,

"Everything is at the command of Master Huang!"

Just as everyone was about to leave, Huang Shilang stopped them again, with a cold glint in his eyes,

"You send a messenger to Chaoge County to contact Yu Poison, Bai Huan and others of the Black Mountain Army, so that they can get ready!"

"Yes!"

And they all answered in unison.

……

After giving Cao Cao a plan, Yang Ling lived a leisurely life again.

Boredom, he simply found tools and made a deck of playing cards.

It happened that Dian Wei could rest today, so the three brothers got together and began to fight the landlord.

The rules of fighting landlords are not complicated, and they are simple and easy to use.

After some explanation, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun also understood.

in the courtyard.

Dian Wei and Zhao Yun grabbed the cards in their hands, and their faces were a little solemn.

"Hey, do you want two of you? No, I'm going to play my cards! ”

Yang Ling urged.

Zhao Yun, who only had one card left, shook his head at Chao Dian Wei and said helplessly,

"Second brother, I can't take care of it!"

"It's okay, you can't care about me!"

Dian Wei glanced at Yang Ling's two, gritted his teeth, and slapped the cards in his hand.

"Four spikes! If you want it, if you don't want it, I'll have one card left! ”

"Second brother, are you very good at fighting? You will have a fart, come out and mix, you must have power, you must have a background! ”

Yang Ling chuckled and slapped the two big and small kings on the table, and then walked a single four.

It's such a little four, but it makes Dian Wei and Zhao Yun shake their heads in unison,

"To ...... I can't afford it! ”

Yang Ling slapped the last three out, looked at it, and found that what Dian Wei and Zhao Yun were holding in their hands was a small three.

He couldn't help but laugh,

"It turned out to be two little deflated three, and this made you lose again!"

"Big brother, you're too much!"

"That's it, he actually cheated me and my second brother about their salaries."

Dian Wei and Zhao Yun threw down the cards in their hands and couldn't help but complain.

"It's no wonder to me, who made you inferior to others?"

Yang Ling smirked.

He came from later generations and was quite experienced in fighting landlords.

Playing with Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, the two novices, isn't it still a pinch?

"No, let's continue!"

Dian Wei was a little unwilling, and shouted for Yang Ling to reshuffle the cards.

"It's okay to continue, but I have to remind you that you two have already lost to me in the next two years, are you sure you want to play?"

Yang Ling pretended to be kind.

"Play, why don't you play? If you don't play, you won't have a chance to turn over! ”

Dian Wei puffed and said.

"Okay, then I will fulfill you!"

Yang Ling smiled and grabbed the card.

Just as he was about to shuffle the cards, he heard a sound of footsteps, and when he looked up, it was Cao Cao who walked in with Xiahoudun and others.

The three of them hurriedly put down the cards in their hands and saluted Cao Cao.

"I've seen Taishou!"

"Excuse me."

Cao Cao waved his hand and sat down directly beside Yang Ling, then sighed,

"Sir, we're in new trouble again!"

"Oh? What's the trouble? ”

Yang Ling said with a smile.

"In recent days, the children of the scholars who served as officials in the county have gone home one after another! Nowadays, there is a shortage of manpower in the county. ”

"In addition, those people who applied for reclamation were also obstructed by the scholars!"

Cao Cao's face was solemn and authentic.

Yang Ling was not particularly surprised.

The strategies he put forward were all aimed at suppressing the scholars, and he would naturally be counterattacked by the scholars!
