Although this is a comprehensive attack on local tyrants who have no official status, it is essentially no different from bullying the weak, but because this is an action led by Liu Bei, there are still some people who have different thoughts.

A group of people close to Liu Bei and those who were more concerned about his future political future saw this as an opportunity to curry favor with Liu Bei.

They figured out Liu Bei's psychology and felt that Liu Bei seemed to be very dissatisfied with the existence of slaves, and further speculated that this might be the prelude to Liu Bei's next large-scale political action-

Those who abide by the slave restriction order are his own people, and they will definitely be promoted and have more political benefits in the future.

Those who do not abide by the slave restriction order are his enemies, and if they do not stand with him now, they may not stand with him in the future, and when they do not do it in the next large-scale political action, they will be the first to target.

This is not the obedience test of Liu Bei's characteristics.

Many people, including Liu Bei's people, came to the corresponding conclusions, so they actively dismissed the redundant slaves around them, keeping only three, and then swaggered to the government to report to show their support for the slave restriction order.

There were even officials in the back who actually started an "arms race" to dismiss slaves in order to behave well and curry favor with Liu Bei.

You dismiss ten, I dismiss twenty, you dismiss twenty, I dismiss thirty, you dismiss thirty, you dismiss thirty, I dismiss fifty.

All in all, as long as Liu Bei is happy, and remembers their names, remembers their efforts to cooperate with the slave restriction order, and thinks that they are Liu Bei's own people, then they feel that this business is not a loss.

For example, Zhang Ji, whose family is in the land of Sanfu, urged his family to release 637 slaves and hand them over to the government in one go, and Du Ji, who was also born in the land of Sanfu, also urged his family to release 360 slaves and hand them over to the government.

Zuo Fengyi Han Hao, who was born in Hanoi County, urged the family to release 327 slaves, and even reported the number of acres of land, houses and tenants of the family, and demanded that the family fully report to the government and not hide their personal interests to show their support.

Yin Da, the warden of Hongnong County, urged the family in Hanoi County to release 477 slaves, and also reported the specific amount of the family's property, asking the family not to hide their personal interests, and to report it in full to express their support and loyalty to Liu Bei.

Although Ruan Yu was a native of Chen, he also asked the Ruan family to respond to Liu Bei's call and take the initiative to release the 263 family slaves, and also dismissed the slaves who served in his house to only one old servant who had followed him for many years.

Xun You did not represent the Xun family, but only represented himself, and dismissed the servants who served in the mansion to only six people, on the grounds that Liu Bei, as a general, only served with ten slaves in the mansion, and he had absolutely no reason to raise more than ten slaves.

Represented by Ruan Yu and Xun You, some families who are not in the Sili area have also begun to roll in.

They started by themselves, and dismissed the redundant slaves around them one after another, leaving only three or five people to serve them, which also fully stated that they could not have more slaves than Liu Bei, in order to show loyalty and respect.

As for the production and management problems faced by the family, there are also some miser wailing......

It's not that you can't really come up with the money to hire free people to work, but it's just that the cost is too much or too little, is it possible that you can really starve people to death? Eat a few fewer dishes in one meal, and the money will be all back!

And aren't these expenditures a drop in the bucket compared to the political benefits that can be obtained later?

When can't money be earned?

Can an official be promoted if he wants to?

I can't tell the priorities of what is urgent!

Because the involution behavior of the group of young officials close to Liu Bei was too frenzied, so that in the end, a group of old bureaucrats, including Ma Riyan, followed suit.

They dismissed the servants in the mansion one after another, and then went to the government to register to show their support for Liu Bei's slave restriction order.

The number of slaves they released was not too much, but politically they ensured that they were on a united front with Liu Bei, indicating that they were a group of people who supported the slave restriction order.

So when there was news that some people gathered to rebel because of the slave restriction order, there was no opposition voice, but collectively asked Liu Bei to suppress the rebels, kill the chickens and monkeys, and implement the requirements of the slave restriction order.

We, the high-ranking old men, have already made gestures and even made compromises, we have already released our slaves and are ready to pay for them, but these guys still dare to resist?

This is no longer an ordinary anti-thief, and he must punch hard!

So after the relevant news reached the imperial court, the new and old bureaucrats submitted a report to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to authorize the general Liu Bei to be fully responsible for suppressing those local "rebels" who disobeyed the slave restriction order.

For these guys who rebelled against the slave restriction order, the attitude of the old men was unprecedentedly unanimous.

Kill them!

Basically, there is nothing that the ruling class cannot agree on, but whatever cannot be done is caused by too great internal contradictions.

On May 19, the second year of Jian'an, nine families including the Zhao, Wang, and Xue families in Pingyin County, Henan Province, united to resist the government's slave restriction order, and spread the news that if the government forced them to do it, they would have to use force to protect their property.

They believed that everything they had was properly obtained, that slaves were also bought with money, and that there was no place to disobey the laws of the imperial court, so they resolutely resisted this demand and did not accept the slave restriction order.

After Liu Bei got the news, he immediately instructed his subordinate general Xu Huang to lead a group of men and horses to rush forward.

Xu Huang acted quickly, and on the afternoon of May 21, the second year of Jian'an, all the boycott forces of these nine families were exterminated, and the nine families were exterminated, and Xu Huang searched for more than 5,000 slaves from the family stations of these nine families.

On May 23, Xingyang County came with the news that a number of families had jointly resisted the slave restriction order, Liu Bei instructed Zhang Fei to lead the troops to solve the problem, and on May 25, the boycott was physically ended by Zhang Fei, and the eight families were destroyed, and Zhang Fei searched for more than 6,000 slaves from these eight families.

On May 29, a number of families in Liang County resisted the government's slave restriction order by force, wounding several officials, Liu Bei was furious, and sent the general Lu Bu to lead the troops to attack, on the second day of June, Lu Bu successfully completed the task, ended the rebellion in Liang County, and obtained more than 8,000 slaves.

On May 30, a number of families in Shaanxi County, Hongnong County, resisted the government's slave restriction order by force, and Yin Da, the guard of Hongnong County, led the county soldiers to encircle and suppress it, and resolved the rebellion on the 2nd day of June, killing more than 500 people and obtaining more than 5,000 slaves.

Also on May 30, a number of families in Yiyang County, Hongnong County, jointly resisted the government's slave restriction order, and Yin Da moved to Yiyang County on the 3rd day of June, and resolved the rebellion on the 6th of June, and obtained more than 4,000 slaves.

On the second day of the first month of June, several families in Yewang County, Hanoi County, jointly resisted the government's slave restriction order, and Liu Bei sent his general Zhao Yun to lead his troops north, and resolved the rebellion on the sixth day of the first month of June, killing more than 600 people and capturing more than 8,000 slaves.

On the third day of the first month of June, a number of families in Chongquan County, Zuo Fengyi, jointly resisted the slave restriction order, and Zuo Fengyi Han Hao led the county soldiers to encircle and suppress it, and resolved the battle on the fifth day of the first month of June, killing more than 400 people and obtaining more than 4,000 slaves.

On the fifth day of the first month of June, a number of families in Youfufeng Wugong County jointly resisted the slave restriction order, and Youfufeng Guoyuan led the county soldiers to attack, fought for three days, quelled the rebellion, killed more than 800 people, and obtained 12,000 slaves.

Also on the fifth day of the sixth month, a number of families in Jingzhao Yin Lantian County jointly resisted the slave restriction order, and Jingzhao Yin Sun Qian sent troops to quell the rebellion, killing more than 1,000 people and obtaining 16,000 slaves.

On the sixth day of the first month of June, a number of families in Duling County, Jingzhao Yin, jointly resisted the slave restriction order, and Sun Qian personally led troops to attack and quell the rebellion, killing more than 600 people and obtaining more than 10,000 slaves.

…………

…………

At the end of May and the beginning of June, as the slave restriction order was issued and the government began to enforce the order, a large number of families were afraid of Liu Bei's power and iron-fisted methods, and decided to compromise with the imperial court.

But at the same time, there are also many families in many places who are unwilling to obey the orders of the government, either because their interests are too involved, or because of their personal character, they ignore Liu Bei's prestige, resolutely disobey, gather people to defend themselves, resist the enforcement of the government, and even injure officials.

In the face of such resistance, Liu Bei certainly would not get used to them, and the local county government could not solve the problem by itself, so he dispatched cavalry from Luoyang to attack on all fronts.

The big man's iron fist slammed down.
