Looking at the group of insects in front of him who were trembling because they had been debunked, Guan Jing sneered and waved his hand to send off the guests.

"Now you have to do two things when you go back, first, go back and honestly count the number of slaves in your family, and then follow the instructions of the imperial court to go to the county government to register, one person can keep up to three slaves, and all the rest will be dismissed and handed over to the government, and no one more is allowed to stay, this is what you must do in the near future."

"Second, go back and honestly count how many acres of land there are at home, and the number of farm tools and livestock left, etc., and report them to the county government, and wait for the county government to arrange someone to verify, and then, pay taxes per mu, and not a single copper coin can be missing."

"But if there is a false report, there is a deliberate concealment, the court will spot check, once it is found, but it is not me who came to see you, did the soldiers outside see it? It was the elite who had followed the general to the battlefield and killed hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people, and they would be the ones who came to find you. ”

After saying that, Guan Jing turned around and left, not lingering for even a second.

Spending more time with these insects would make him feel sick, and the ugly gesture made him feel very uncomfortable, and he was very worried that if he spent a little more time with them, he would be unable to resist ordering them all to be arrested and killed.

So in the entire living room, only Lao Du and his group were left with trembling legs and palpitations.

After going out of the county government, Xiao Du anxiously asked Lao Du about everything, and Lao Du was upset.

"Don't ask anymore, there is no point in asking these questions anymore, after you go back, count the family property, tell the county government everything, don't hide it at all, the land, the house, the number of slaves, all tell the government."

"Huh?"

Xiao Du was shocked: "How can this be?" That...... Then we have to inform the government of all the more than 5,000 acres of land? We reported 500 acres before, how can we tell the government? Tell them, and don't say what the consequences are, let's ......."

"Silly boy, the government already knows!"

Lao Du shook his head bitterly and said: "We are probably targeted, the government knows too many things, we can't hide it at all, if we want to deceive, there will be a fatal disaster, so don't hide anything at all, report it all according to the truth, slaves, land, housing property, don't hide it." ”

Xiao Du was even more shocked.

"How would the government know? Father, in order to make accounts, we spent a lot of money to buy off the people in the government! There should be no problems with those books! How so? ”

Lao Du also wanted to know this question, but now he was blind to the county government and didn't know anything.

The group of local officials who had contacts and friendships with him didn't know where they went, and the new ones had no friendship with them, and they were all said to be from Liangzhou, and even from the people of Liangzhou and Sanfu.

Because the time is still short, they don't even have time to deal with these newcomers.

It is also true that in the past, the people who served as officials could be transferred from outside, but the officials were basically locals, and some of them were villagers, so it was very convenient to take care of them.

Even if you don't know each other, you can always find an acquaintance you know to introduce you and match you with you, and then the other party will make a price on the face of the acquaintance, give money, do things, and come and go, and you will be familiar.

It's easy to do things if you're familiar, through an acquaintance in the government, you can also know more acquaintances in the government, and then it's logical to know together, or in a few months, the inside of the government will be the same as their own home, and they can know in advance what is happening, and they can effectively avoid danger.

But now that a group of outsiders have come, not to mention friendship, even the accents of each other sound a bit difficult, let alone other aspects.

"The people I used to know are gone, I don't know where I went, and it is estimated that there is more luck and less luck, we are now blind to the county government, and no matter what is going on, it is not clear, so we can only admit it."

Old Du sighed, looking like a hero in the twilight.

Xiao Du was stunned for a while, and then said slowly with a painful face: "If that's the case, let's ...... How much more taxes do we have to pay every year! If all those slaves are freed, how many more people will we have to hire to work? And how much is that? In case the government comes to extort it every once in a while, this belongings will soon be gone! Father! ”

"Idiot!"

Lao Du was angry, and slapped Xiao Du in the face: "My life is going to be gone, still thinking about this?" Do you know what the prefectural order just said? What are those soldiers doing here? If we have any more concealment, the next time we go to our house, it will be these soldiers! ”

Xiao Du was beaten and dizzy, but he still heard Lao Du's words clearly.

"Bing?"

"The soldier who came with a steel knife to kill you! Whoever fights, don't fight with soldiers! ”

Lao Du said angrily: "Go back to the statistics immediately!" Report as fast as possible! Otherwise, our family will become a ghost under the knife! ”

Xiao Du didn't have any temper at all, and ran back with a stream of urine, as if there was a ghost chasing behind him.

The same decision as Lao Du was made by many other large-scale families in Xincheng County.

Naturally, they also knew that the government had so much information in their hands, but they hadn't attacked them yet.

This is the last chance, if this opportunity is not grasped, the next time it will be to their house is not a slave restriction order, but a family raid order, this time with the slave restriction order, maybe there is a future, if you don't cooperate, or the whole family will go to see the ancestors neatly in a few days.

They had no doubt that the general in Luoyang City, who had killed hundreds of thousands of people, could not do this.

What happened in Xincheng County is just a small episode in the entire Sili area, and the same thing is happening in countless counties.

Those county officials stunned the local families with half-truths and half-truths, and many families were frightened and did not dare to disobey the orders of the imperial court.

Naturally, there are those who are timid, and there are those who are iron-headed, relying on the large number of slaves in their own families, and feel that the number of people is powerful, and the government and the court will never dare to really attack them.

Of course, it is true that there are too many of them, and they really have to give up, in order to maintain the family business, they need to hire an excessive number of employees, and the consumption of family expenses will be increased countless times, which is unacceptable to them in any case.

As a result, they can only play the role of Tietou Wa and Liu Bei's slave restriction order, in order to get some changes.

At the very least, one person can't bind only three slaves.

However, their struggle is meaningless, and they still lack access to information.

In a sense, the promulgation of this slave restriction order can even be said that Liu Bei successfully split the entire slave-owning group, sparing the upper stratum and not targeting the upper strata, but targeting the lower strata of the slave-owning group.

He successfully used the power of the upper bureaucracy and the big landlord class to launch a blow against the small and medium-sized landlord class in the Sili area.

The small and medium-sized landlords, who had no political power, could not resist the strong demands of the Luoyang court, and their military strength could not be compared with the more than 100,000 Central Han troops under Liu Bei.

Anyway, with the promulgation of the slave restriction order, the Luoyang court knew it and had no objections.

The bureaucrats symbolically expressed their support, and then casually dismissed some of the slaves they looked down on to report to the government, saying that these were the slaves we dismissed, and now we are all legal slaves in our family.

It's almost meaningful, and it's over, and the executive department also knows that this time it's not for them, so it's hello, I'm good, everyone.

Then Liu Bei also pretended to cooperate with them to act, and after a symbolic investigation, he announced that the slave restriction action against these families was over, and what should happen after that.

They will even be thanked and compensated by Liu Bei for their little dedication and cooperation at the political level.

This is the essence of this slavery restriction order, and if there is no follow-up, it is just a symbolic self-improvement.

But because Liu Bei has a back hand, this is also Liu Bei's strategy to divide and attack the entire slave group, weakening the overall strength and causing a large number of lower-class groups to be hit by dimensionality reduction.

And the upper layer is not to say that it hurts the muscles and bones, but it can also be regarded as intact.

At this stage, Liu Bei is not ready to attack them, everyone still needs to be false and wronged, and after some time, when Liu Bei has accumulated enough strength to turn the table to see the real chapter, these guys will be stunned to find out - what about my allies?

Oh, I sold it years ago......

Seriously, Liu Bei is now looking forward to the day when he will be honest with them.

But for now, there are still a group of people who are serious about the slave restriction order.
