For Liu Bei, he wants a lot of things.

The redistribution of wealth in Jiangbei and the stability of the empire's basic plate he wanted.

He also wants the development of Jiangnan.

A policy, he has to play two effects, a group of people, he has to use twice, in this way, he is the only winner, or the kind that wins twice.

But it can't be said that the people who have been used twice by him have no harvest at all, as long as they are bold and lucky, the family's reproduction and dispersion are also objective gains, and the family can also make a profit, and the desire to pass it on can also be achieved.

Maybe one of them will be carried forward in the future?

To be honest, Cao Cao felt that Liu Bei could still compensate everyone a little when he had an absolute advantage, which was already considered benevolent, if he changed the ruthless and black-hearted emperor of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it would really not be left for you at all.

Say rob and rob, rob the empire "halved the domestic household registration", Liu Bei is much more benevolent than others, although it is also a robbery, but at least it will draw a big pie for you, so that you can see hope.

If Jiangnan is risky, the imperial court will also contribute money and efforts to help you create a relatively peaceful and stable environment, and then you will invest and produce to turn the wild land into thousands of hectares of fertile land, isn't it a good win-win situation?

Isn't it a win-win situation for you to get the land and property, and the court gets the taxes and the place to live easily?

What more bikes?

Cao Cao did feel that this was the maximum compromise that Liu Bei could make in the current situation, and beyond one point, it was not in line with Liu Bei's current military and political strength.

A powerful king who is overpowering the world is talking to you about business, and you better be grateful to Dade.

Because he could have avoided it.

He could have robbed, he could have relied on the powerful army under his control to act recklessly, but he talked about the rules, and the rules he set, he himself was willing to abide by.

Then thank you.

So Cao Cao nodded and agreed, thanking Liu Bei for thinking so much for them.

Finally, Liu Bei held Cao Cao's hand and pulled him out of the study.

"You and I met in Weimo, I treat you differently from others, you have always been very supportive of me, and even willing to make such a big sacrifice, I am very happy in my heart, Meng De, for you, my expectations are not limited to a Sizhou assassin history.

In addition, for Zixiao and Zihe, my expectations for them are not only limited to the present, in the future, the strategy of the Han Dynasty is to go out, I need a lot of generals to fight for me, open up territory for me, they will surely create more brilliant achievements than now. ”

Cao Cao's heart was pounding, his face was red, and he was emotional.

He himself can feel that his heart is beating faster now, and his expectations for the future are even higher.

is still the same sentence, he Cao Mengde deeply understands that political progress and wealth progress are completely different things for people of his level.

If he wants to have wealth, it will be easy.

Even if the full tax is paid, even if hundreds of thousands of acres of land are paid full tax together, his family can still have huge assets, and there may be some losses in land income, but the family heritage is still there, and selling a part of the land can easily solve the problem.

But with his current political status and power, it will be difficult if he wants to go to the next level.

The senior official position of the Han Dynasty, a radish and a pit, people have paid a lot to Liu Bei, and they have a lot of support, and their political consciousness is also very high, if he doesn't find another way and overtake in corners, how can he let Liu Bei Xu give him a more wonderful future?

Wealth, he enjoys enough, he has never been short of money, he doesn't like money at all, he now prefers power and status, he wants to show his political ability on a higher stage.

Therefore, it is true to exchange the wealth of the Cao family for a brighter future.

And on this basis, it is already very generous to find a way for those clansmen who have no official status to talk about masturbation!

After the news of Cao's decision came out, Liu Bei's rule of "replacing land in Jiangbei with land in Jiangnan" was also released and discussed on a small scale.

To be honest, this news still shook the inner circle of power quite a lot.

Everyone looked at Cao Cao with admiration, and at the same time felt the fiery desire for power in Cao Cao's heart, so there was also some sense of urgency.

This sense of urgency is a kind of promotion and a sense of competition for the people and families who have decided to go with Liu Bei, and they feel that the Cao family really has great intentions.

But for the family that has not yet been determined, it belongs to the Flame Burner.

As a result, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan could not continue their warm and affectionate methods, and gave the family an ultimatum.

If you promise, if there are any good things in the future, everyone can enjoy them together, and they will also use their own money to compensate for the economic loss this time, and everyone can go to Jiangnan to get more land in the future and earn back the loss.

But he didn't agree.

I won't let you have a good time until I'm unlucky, and I'm going to pull you as a backing when I die, believe it or not?

Xiahou Yuan was dressed in military uniform, and he said such undisguised threatening words to the people who had been gathered, which frightened many people.

The weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons, and after Xiahou Yuan criticized them with a weapon in hand, they deeply realized their mistakes and decided to make the right choice.

So on the third day after Cao Cao put on the table, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan jointly signed the table and expressed to Liu Bei the Xiahou family's desire to follow him.

You are our only sun.

We will never turn our backs on you.

The Xiahou family had made the right choice, they would fully accept Liu Bei's request for Dutian, and a considerable number of the clansmen had the idea of selling the surplus land to the imperial court.

They hope to control their land quota within a certain range, and if it is beyond the range, they hope that the imperial court can keep its promise and buy it at the market price.

Liu Bei was very happy, summoned Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, held their hands intimately, drank a pot of wine with them, looked forward to the future together, and also discussed with them about the Xiahou family sending people to the south to open up the wasteland.

This made Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan very happy.

Zhen's side is actually the most anxious, because Zhen Yan has always regarded himself as Liu Bei's number one follower, and now that the Cao family and the Xiahou family are actually chasing ahead of him, how can he swallow this breath?

He followed Liu Bei earlier than the Cao family!

Only a few old Yuan Cong in Youzhou can compete with him in terms of qualifications!

But now the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan are ahead of him!

For the family affairs, he has been communicating for half a month, most of the people have been persuaded by him, and there are still a small number of people who are unwilling, feeling that the compensation he gave is not enough, and they have paid too much.

What they mean is that we didn't have to pay so many taxes before, but now we have to pay it, and it's not a one-time payment, it's a permanent annual payment, and you only give us a one-time compensation, isn't it a bit too small?

Zhen Yan has taken out everything he can in exchange for the support and cooperation of the clansmen, and the gesture is very sufficient, but some people are still dissatisfied.

Zhen Yan couldn't bear it anymore, and directly sent it to Liu Bei, saying that the Zhen family had decided to follow Liu Bei's route in an all-round way, never turning their backs, never falling behind, and no matter what problems there were, the Zhen family could solve them.

Please Liu Bei send someone to Dutian.

At the same time, Zhen Yan sent someone back to tell the family that he had made a decision to follow Liu Bei's policy, and if someone in the Zhen family disobeyed, the consequences would be very serious.

He will use coercive means.

They will be regarded as an unvirtuous person who does not value the interests of the family but only personal interests, and will be punished by family law, and will also be expelled from the clan and expelled from the Zhen family, so that they will become lonely ghosts, and they will no longer be able to receive any care from the Zhen family.

For this ultimatum, how did the Zhen clan react, Zhen Yan was not interested, he only knew that there was his power within the Zhen clan, and his power could help him force him to fulfill his requirements, even if someone in the clan was dissatisfied with him, it didn't matter.

He is the person with the highest position of power in the clan, and even the family law and clan rules are a Schrödinger existence for him.

If they blindly care about the immediate interests and do not pay attention to the long-term development plan of the family, Zhen Yan does not mind using coercive force to help the family "change the dynasty".

Even the Great Han Kingdom can "change the dynasty", so what can't the Zhen family do?

Don't push me into a hurry, force me to be in a hurry, none of you want to have a good end, I don't have a good life, you don't want to live a better life than me!

The power in Zhen Yan's hands and his connections in Jizhou are enough to make the insects within a family kneel down to him and sing about conquest, and the opposition within the Zhen family is suppressed, and the will of the family is unified.

So, the Cao family, the Xiahou family, the Zhen family, the problems of the three old and difficult families were solved in this way, they did not throw the problem to Liu Bei, but used their own means and methods to solve their own problems, leaving Liu Bei with the three problems have been solved.

and more than 200,000 acres of land for transaction requests.

There is no way, there is too much land, too heavy taxes, so many labor costs, storage costs, logistics costs, and a certain amount of maintenance of the land, but also to pray that there will be no natural and man-made disasters.

Among them, the sharp increase in labor cost is a major factor, originally for the family slaves, the labor cost is very well controlled, but now there is no domestic servant as the main labor force, need to hire labor from the market for agricultural production, labor cost has increased greatly.

In this way, if the family owns so much land, it is difficult to say that it will not lose money after paying the tax, and once it loses money, then there is no need to hold so much land.

So each of the three automators used the elite forces of their clan to carry out a large-scale actuarial calculation, calculating the costs and projected revenues required to maintain land tenure, as well as the estimated taxes to be paid.

According to calculations, continuing to maintain such a large amount of land will definitely lose money, and the family will need to lose money to farm the land, and if this kind of thing continues, sooner or later the family's foundation will be ruined.

So the three families unanimously made the decision to sell a part of the land to the imperial court, and according to precise calculations, each came up with a sales amount to maximize the maintenance of family interests.

In the future, although there is less land, there will always be some earnings, and it will not lose money, and that's it.

Liu Bei was satisfied with this and praised the Cao family, the Xiahou family, and the Zhen family.

And it was only at this time that Xun Yu realized that the situation he was in was already quite dangerous and embarrassing.

Even the Cao family, the Xiahou family and the Zhen family, which are old and difficult, have already dealt ruthlessly to themselves and solved all the things that should be solved, so what else can the Xun family say next?

The super-rich like the Cao family are willing to accept land and pay taxes for the sake of their political future, and they also sell so much land to the family, and the Xun family's family property is far less than that of the Cao family, can't they still make a decision?

What do you mean by Xun?

Xun Yu felt that a huge cloud of crisis was looming, so he hurriedly made solemn representations to the acting patriarch Xun Su, asking him to make a decision immediately, and he couldn't delay it any longer!

After Xun Shuang died of illness, the Xun family had no leader, so they could only push out Xun Su, the only one alive in the Eight Dragons, and let Xun Su be the patriarch of the family.

But Xun Su thought that he didn't have such talent, so he didn't want to say anything, and pushed back several times, and even had to leave the family to travel far away to resist.

Finally, under the critical situation, the Xun family needs a leader to move forward together, but after losing Xun Shuang, the newcomer has not yet risen, the old man has no energy, and only one Xun Su can barely hold up the façade.

After all, it is the last "dragon" among the eight dragons of the Xun family.

However, Xun Su still has some sober understanding of himself, he thinks that he can temporarily assume the duties of the patriarch of the family, but when there is a better candidate, he will retire and abdicate to make way for Xian, he will not be the patriarch, only acting.

But is this acting patriarch easy to do?

With such a big family, so many clansmen, so much land and property, and so many differences of opinion, Xunsu is really too much for a mediocre person to control.

So although Xun Yu repeatedly asked Xun Su to make a decision and analyze the pros and cons, Xun Su still couldn't make up his mind.

He was never one to make decisions either.

When Xun Shuang was still there, he was responsible for giving opinions, Xun Shuang was responsible for making decisions, he knew what it meant for a family to make decisions, but he was not a person who liked to take responsibility, so he made ideas, but he didn't make decisions.

But now that Xun Shuang is gone, no one can help him with ideas.

So Xun Su kept procrastinating until the Cao family, the Xiahou family and the Zhen family made a decision.

Xun Yu couldn't bear it anymore, found Xun Su, and told him about the benefits.

"If you can't make a decision, you can't resolve this matter before Your Majesty's request, Your Majesty's opinion of the Xun family will be even worse, and at that time, even if there is me and Gongda, the situation of the Xun family will be very bad, and this is already a moment of life and death for the Xun family!"

Xun Su was still hesitant.

"Wen Ruo, I know what you said is right, but ...... But I can't ignore the demands of so many clansmen, the clansmen are Xun clans, there are no clansmen at all, how can Xun be regarded as Xun clans without the support of the clansmen?

Moreover, the amount of land they have in their hands is quite large, and they did not pay taxes in the past, but now they pay taxes, and I almost understand the numbers, there are too many, and it is normal for the clansmen to be unacceptable, otherwise...... Wen Ruo, you go and discuss with Your Majesty again, can you give some exemption? ”

Xun Yu closed his eyes in pain.

"Uncle, the Cao family, the Xiahou family and the Zhen family have agreed to Your Majesty's request, their respective families have solved this problem and have decided to accept the imperial court's Dutian, even the Cao family can accept Dutian, and they are willing to pay so many taxes, do you think about it, Your Majesty may exempt the Xun family?"

Xun Su lowered his head and stopped talking, his face full of hesitation.

"How is this good......

Xun Yu looked at the hesitant Xun Su, and remembered Xun Yu's admonition again.

Xun, is there really no hope?

But he ......

In the end, it's still a descendant of the Xun family!

When the matter came to an end, Xun Yu could only give up his illusions about Xun Su, persuade one by one, state the interests and disadvantages one by one, explain the current general trend, talk about Liu Bei's iron-fisted methods and the tragic measures of the Cao family, Xiahou family and other families to survive.

They have already done this, the Xun family can no longer have any hope, any hope is destined to fail, only by cutting off the tail can they survive.
