The Liangzhou Hao clan is weak, and it has been tamed by Liu Bei and has become the promoter of the community of interests, and it is no longer a trouble.

Because of the cooperation between Meng Tuo and Ma Riyan, the local obstructive forces are now tamed and are no longer troublesome.

The Land of the Three Rivers is also not a big trouble.

First of all, the land of Sanhe is equivalent to the land of Gyeonggi of the Eastern Han Empire, which is more affected by the imperial power, and the tendency of local independence and separation is relatively weak, and it is more likely to be influenced by the imperial power.

Moreover, Liu Bei's basic team has a considerable number of people from the Land of Three Rivers, and by using their connections, the problems of the Land of Three Rivers can be settled relatively easily.

Therefore, at present, the process of salt sales in the land of three rivers is also relatively fast, from about February of the fifth year of Zhongping to the present, except for the impact of the war, the salt sales business in Hedong County has not yet been rolled out, and the salt sales business in Hanoi County and Henan Yin has begun to be rolled out.

In Liu Bei's view, Yizhou is the same as Hongnong County, it is a hard bone and it is more difficult to gnaw.

Not to mention the Hongnong Army, the behemoth of the Hongnong Yang clan is here, and the interest groups surrounding the Hongnong Yang clan control almost all aspects of Hongnong County.

The Hongnong Yang family is definitely not a good man and a woman level, and their fortune is mainly because of the achievements of the Hanqiang War.

The Hanqiang War lasted for a hundred years, and all the strategic materials had to be transported from Luoyang, and they would inevitably pass through Hongnong County on the way.

But there is no doubt that the Yang clan of the third prince Hongnong really developed from that time, and if there is no connection between them, a fool will not believe it.

To this day, it may be a bit exaggerated to directly say that Hongnong County is the fief of the Yang family, but if you want to pry open the resource gap in Hongnong County, without the nod of the Yang family, it is still quite difficult.

As for defeating the Yang family in order to sell salt, this goal is still a bit ambitious, and Liu Hong's side is not very willing, because he still has to keep the Yang family and the ancient literature school to fight in the ring.

Therefore, the first phase of the salt sale plan directly avoided Hongnong County.

The situation in Yizhou is actually similar, and because of the relatively inconvenient transportation, the ruling power of the Luoyang court over Yizhou is not too strong, so the powerful clans in Yizhou are often larger, more powerful, and more influential, and have a stronger countermeasure ability to the central government.

In this case, in addition to strengthening transportation and increasing the influence of Luoyang on Yizhou, it is more effective to control key economic resources.

Economic resources did not have much impact on the common people in ancient times, because the key economic resources themselves did not belong to them, and they only needed a piece of land and a relatively stable situation to survive.

Only the powerful clans and eunuchs will be affected by this, and without these local economic resources, the food on their tables will not be so luxurious, and the manpower and material resources that can be mobilized will not be so powerful.

Therefore, the struggle for economic resources is a blow to the powerful forces.

The more Luoyang controls, the less capital Yizhou can afford to fight against Luoyang, and the less climate it will become.

The most favorable economic resource in Yizhou is salt, because of the existence of well salt, Yizhou has a very big interest in the salt industry.

What's more interesting is that there are still many "fire wells" here in Yizhou, that is, natural gas wells, and smart people in Yizhou have long started to use natural gas wells to light fire and cook salt, which has a low cost and a very good effect.

There are thousands or tens of thousands of salt wells used to make salt in Yizhou, and some of the salt wells in the famous salt-producing areas are controlled by local families, such as the famous Linjiang Gan family.

When they control the local salt wells, they control the production of salt, and they control thousands or even tens of thousands of salt workers, who are rich and have people, and their power is huge, and the government has nothing to do with them.

Liu Hong and Zhang Rang want to sell Liangzhou fine salt here, of course, they can, Liangzhou fine salt is also beneficial to the quality that the local salt in the state cannot achieve, and it can definitely tear open the interest gap of Yizhou salt.

However, after adding freight rates, it is difficult to say whether it can rely on normal means to lower the price and obtain enough revenue to seize market share.

Moreover, the local families in Yizhou who control the interests of salt will definitely not just be in business, and there will definitely be various off-the-counter recruits to fight against Liangzhou salt.

There are also many people in Yizhou who rely on boiling salt to eat, and it is possible that one is not good to be instigated to attack in groups, and when there is bloodshed, it will be difficult to calm down.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Liu Hong to rely on foreign Liangzhou salt to win the world in Yizhou, and Liu Bei is not very optimistic about Liu Hong's plan.

But if you want to gain control of Yizhou, it's actually not that difficult, each era has its own rules, and each era has its own way of playing, since you are in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is better to use some simple and crude means to solve the problem.

For example, power, the power brought about by the ideological environment of divine monarchy.

Instead of sending Liangzhou salt to Yizhou after all the hardships, it is better to seize the salt wells and salt workers in Yizhou.

It is really stupid not to use such a justifiable official position in Yizhou Assassin History, and so many justifiable positions and powers.

If Liu Bei served as the pastor of Yizhou, or even if it was the history of Yizhou, he would have a good way to deal with the local heroes in Yizhou.

Although the Eastern Han Dynasty does not play with the monopoly of salt and iron now, it also has the right to collect taxes and a certain number of government-run salt and iron offices.

Liu Bei didn't believe that the Yizhou clan was all clean in terms of taxes, as long as they were willing to investigate, there would definitely be a bunch of problems, and then force them to pay taxes.

I have to make up for the taxes that have been lacking over the years, and I have to pay fines, and then report to me all the size of the property under the control of the family, so that I can check your taxes, and how many salt workers and slaves there are in your family, and you must also give me a clear account of the poll tax of these people.

If there is a problem, you can justifiably ask for the guilt.

Those who admit it, pay taxes and fines, and have a long-term vision, then allow them to continue to exist.

Those who do not admit it, do not want to pay fines, and do not want to hand over the actual scale of their family property, the road left for them is very narrow, and there is almost only one road left to take the road of armed confrontation.

That's better, I'm just waiting for you to fight with arms, I can't deal with you if you don't fight with arms!

Once they enter the armed confrontation link, they will be in the middle of it.

Armed confrontation is rebellion, there is no room for anything, wave the army to attack, fight and destroy them, as long as the battle is won, everything is the winner, there is nothing else to say.

You say that I killed someone, I did kill someone, but I didn't violate the rules of the game, Han Lu clearly wrote these regulations, I did it, what can you do?

Or do you want to play the drama of the Spring and Autumn Prison with me, the inheritor of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn"?

Are you sure you want to play with me?

I can't kill you!

Taking such a proper measure, Liu Bei felt that he could get a lot of things very smoothly, and the channels he took were all fair and in accordance with laws and regulations.

I'm chasing taxes for the state, what's wrong? I was wrong?

If you don't follow the right path, you will take the crooked path, which is also a significant feature of the last days of the dynasty, and when the top of the dynasty begins to do this, it means that even they are beginning to disbelieve and are unwilling to follow the rules.

If the rules don't exist, then the dynasty is not far from being completely destroyed.

Thinking about it like this, Liu Bei felt a little touched.

Does Liu Hong know this?

Did Liu Hong realize this?
