The policy of the Luoyang Imperial Court has not changed, and the situation of semi-government-run and semi-private enterprises throughout the country has not changed.

Liu Bei doesn't have the ability to change anything now.

However, in Liangzhou, Liu Bei achieved a monopoly on salt and iron in local areas through a two-pronged approach of market competition and strong authority.

Naturally, there are still salt officials and iron officials who should be there, and the taxes that should be collected still have to be collected, this kind of left-handed upside-down right-handed thing, Liu Bei does not feel troublesome.

He doesn't like the monopoly of salt and iron, what can the bureaucrats do, Liu Bei also has a little idea.

Although semi-governmental, semi-private is not a good strategy, it is better than the monopoly of salt and iron, and at least it leaves a glimmer of life for the people.

Therefore, under this stormy action, Liu Bei did not completely lock up the monopoly of salt and iron.

After cleaning up the people who were not of the same mind as him before, for a longer-term consideration, Liu Bei turned to open his interests to his core subordinates.

In order to motivate them to follow and support him more desperately, Liu Bei planned to include them in his economic plan.

Abbreviation, wooing.

It is not a simple matter to let people with ability and capital work hard, interests are an eternal topic that can never be bypassed, Liu Bei is not naïve to feel that his subordinates are selfless, nor do he feel that they are all a group of tool people who have no desire and no desire and worship him.

Obviously, if you think about it a little, you should know that they each have their own desires and interests.

Therefore, it must be given to the subordinates, and only by forming a binding at the level of interests can the subordinates work for themselves with all their hearts, rather than having the possibility of incarnating Xiao Fengxian anytime and anywhere.

And sometimes, even if the sovereign's charm is amazing, his subordinates really can't do the things of Xiao Fengxian, and they will not continue to follow the sovereign, but will choose to leave and find a place that is more in line with their own interests.

Because the interests are really incompatible.

For example, Uncle Liu Huang's painful loss of the lead and Tian Yu.

It's not that they have no conscience, it's not that Uncle Liu Huang is not charming, and it's not that their relationship is not good enough, but that they can't give up their hometown and family.

Uncle Liu Huang couldn't give them what they wanted, or rather, what the family they couldn't give up needed, so under the threat of troubled times, they had no choice.

So Liu Bei saw this era clearly.

Emotional connection is important, and personal charm is also very important, so the character of a warm man cannot be lost, and the image of a fierce man from the sky cannot be crooked.

But the benefits must also be put in place, and if there is no benefit, how many people can break through to the end?

Especially for some subordinates from big families, their joining in itself will bring great help to Liu Bei, so what they need will not be very cheap.

For example, the local Yan family made a great contribution to Liu Bei's foothold in Liangzhou, and Hanyang Taishou Gaixun's support for Liu Bei was an important support for Liu Bei to gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou at the beginning.

If they want to remain loyal, they themselves need more in return than the subordinates from the humble background need.

For subordinates from humble backgrounds, give them affection, give them positions, give them high-ranking officials, and consider their personal needs, they don't have too many family needs.

But for the subordinates who come from large families, it is necessary to consider their family needs.

At this stage, Liu Bei is indeed inseparable from them, so what should be given must be given.

As his power grows and his status increases, he must further unite people's hearts and become an entity in this way.

To put it simply, he needs to hold a new spoils conference in the new stage.

Liu Bei divided the ranks of his subordinates according to the size of their origins.

Among his subordinates, the largest local influence of the family is the combination of the Gai family, the Yan family, the Zhen family, and the Cao family, and the Xiahou family.

Both the Gai family and the Yan family have great influence in the Liangzhou region, and their influence has spilled over from Dunhuang County and Hanyang County, and they belong to state-level families.

The Zhen family has a hereditary position of 2,000 stones in Zhongshan Kingdom, and its influence overflows from Zhongshan Kingdom, so it also has a certain influence in Jizhou, and it is also a state-level family.

The Cao family and the Xiahou family alone are not enough to form any influence in Yuzhou, but the two families join forces, with the Cao family as the mainstay, supplemented by the Xiahou family, plus their influence in the center, it can barely be regarded as a family association with a certain influence in Yuzhou.

These five families are deeply bound to Liu Bei and have strong strength, and they have basically cooperated with Liu Bei in an all-round way, betting on Liu Bei, providing Liu Bei with great help, and being the first-line force supporting Liu Bei.

No matter how long they followed Liu Bei and when they were deeply bound to Liu Bei, their importance was beyond doubt.

And one of their characteristics is that the individual cannot easily represent the family, the family and the individual are separated in a sense, and the individual often needs to be subordinated to the needs of the family.

It is worth mentioning that although Xun Yu is also of noble birth, his family investment is too scattered and he does not serve Liu Bei wholeheartedly, so Liu Bei did not count the Xun family.

Xun Yu alone cannot represent the Xun family, but only Xun Yu's own small family, only Xun Yu himself is valuable, and there is no intervention of family forces.

Next is the first-rate, second- and third-rate county and county-level families.

For example, Han Hao's Han family, Yin Da's Yin family, Ruan Yu's Ruan family, Jia Xu's Jia family, Zhaozhao's Zhao family, Guoyuan's Guo family and Sun Qian's Sun family, etc.

The commonality of these small and medium-sized families is that they have a certain influence in their hometowns, but they mainly have a lot of influence in the county, and the influence spills over the county and has a certain influence in the county, but it is not enough to spill over the scope of the county and cannot have influence on the state.

However, they can study, have the financial resources and channels for their children to study, have certain social relations, and can contact some more famous readers, and can also do it by learning from teachers.

Although their family is said to be a family, there are not many excellent clansmen, a person can influence and represent a family, and also need to be responsible for the family, and the interests of the family and personal interests are relatively unified.

They also care more about the existence of the family and the interests of the family, and will not easily leave the place where the family lives too far, and will not choose forces too far away from the family to work for them.

Less money and more proximity to home, that's the most wonderful.

What they can give Liu Bei and what they seek is naturally not comparable to the previous level of the big clan, Liu Bei can control them relatively easily, and has a considerable degree of dominance over them.

And then there are the subordinates from the humble background.

They basically only represent them personally, with no family kinship, and at most they are family-level figures.

They are less sensitive to interests, more concerned about their own situation, don't mind following the people they identify as running around, and don't have much attachment to their hometown.

Anyway, they didn't leave any very good memories in their hometown.

They were not necessarily born into poor families, and perhaps they were well-to-do local families, but they did not have the means and financial resources to study and access well-known scholars to receive education.

They often do not have a background of scholars, not even a third-rate scholar, or their families are in the middle of the road, they have the title of scholars, and they do not have the family power to match.

For example, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, such as Jian Yong, as well as Pang De, Xu Huang, Dong Huang, Ma Teng, Yan Xing, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others.

They don't have the family power to provide Liu Bei with some local help, they only have their own talent and loyalty, and their main step is military merit, or follow the boss, so that they can achieve a political leap.

They couldn't give Liu Bei anything, almost all of them relied on what Liu Bei gave them.

From this point of view, they are already the lowest-born existence in the sequence of Liu Bei Group.

Further down are the ordinary big-headed soldiers and the average small officials, almost completely relying on what Liu Bei provided them.

In response to the different needs of his subordinates at these three levels, Liu Bei can make accurate judgments, and then accurately put what they need according to their different needs, so as to consolidate the deep interest binding between each other.

To be honest, this is not very difficult for Liu Bei.

Because these days, he can make too many cakes.
