"General, what do you mean?" Liu Yin was a little incomprehensible, so he could only ask cautiously.

"Ahem...... Hugh, why do you say those local clans raise private soldiers? Ma Jian waved his hand, pulled Liu Yin outside and said with a smile.

"Because you're on guard against thieves?" Liu Yin scratched his head and asked tentatively.

"No, no, no, we're going to look at their source." Ma Jian shook his head lightly and said.

"The key reason why the Shuzhong clan can raise private soldiers is that many people can't think of it."

"That's why they can afford to raise private soldiers!"

"The local clans in Shuzhong often have thousands of acres of land, and they are terrifying in the local area. Many of the hukou in Shu were lost, and they often became domestic servants and tenant farmers of the big clans. ”

"If you have land, population, and local authority, you can naturally afford to raise private soldiers!"

"So we started directly from the source, and directly let the big clan not be able to raise private soldiers, wouldn't it be once and for all!"

For a while, Ma Jian was almost amazed by his ingenuity.

However, Liu Yin's expression became more and more suspicious of life.

Let the general solve the problem of private soldiers, and then the general you take the initiative to increase the difficulty and prepare to use the knife directly against the big clan?

From becoming a political enemy with the family, directly escalating to an immortal?

What is this line of thinking?

Obviously, Liu Yin was frightened by Ma Tan's thoughts, and he couldn't react at all for a while.

However, Ma Jian said that there is no big problem, and he can react slowly if he can't react.

In fact, it was only at this time that Ma Jian remembered the real key pain points of the family.

It is still the source of all problems, that is, the land problem!

The main reason why the Shuzhong clan can support thousands of private soldiers is that they have a large number of granges in the local area. With a large amount of land, they can absorb the displaced population to serve them.

With the population and the land, the big clan basically has enough productive forces. In this way, there will be no shortage of money and food to feed the clan population, support the family political struggle, and support private soldiers.

After all, only the big clans with dozens of miles of fields can send slaves and maids out at will. Normal small landlords don't have the capital to support their servants.

You must know that in this era, the requirements for servant girls are also very high, and they need to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Sending this pair of girls to the Zhou family is obviously not a small amount of cultivation resources.

If you don't have money, you can only be like Ma Yan, even if you do have the idea you want, but think about your own fortune or stop.

Of course, Ma Jian didn't want to be the main reason, definitely not because he was poor!

In general, land is the root of everything, and the mere prohibition of private soldiers is clearly a palliative rather than a cure. At most, this increases the cost of raising private soldiers for the big clans, but it does not prevent them from continuing to raise private soldiers.

So Ma Tan's idea has also become simpler, can't I just let you have enough land to feed the private soldiers?

This makes things extremely simple and not difficult to deal with. Moreover, the contradiction between Ma Tan and the local powerful clan will also completely escalate into an endless death.

It's a win-win!

In the end, the Zhou family's beauty plan also failed, and Ma Jian still sent someone to fork them out.

It's literally, forked out!

Seeing that the beauty plan was useless, the local clan felt unprecedented pressure.

"Could it be that the Jingzhou faction really plans to fight us to the death? Unexpectedly, Ma Youchang is so faceless! Zhou Shu felt extremely tricky, and his face was a little ugly.

"No, I have an old relationship with Dong Yun, I asked him. According to Dong Yun's meaning, the Jingzhou faction does not seem to support Ma Yan's approach, which ...... "At this time, even Du Wei felt that something was wrong, and his face was cloudy.

"This designation is a delaying tactic used by the Jingzhou faction to paralyze our troops!" Zhou Shu waved his hand and quickly made a judgment.

"Don't think about finding a way to give Ma Jian a meritorious service, and then send him away. If this is really the Jingzhou faction that wants to fight with us endlessly, they will not let Ma Jian leave Chengdu! ”

"Perhaps, it won't be long before Ma Jian will attack us in an all-out way!"

Dong Shu's words also made the faces of the other other local leaders gloomy, and a trace of panic flashed in their eyes.

This speculation is indeed very likely, and the Jingzhou faction generally implemented a delaying tactic to paralyze them, leaving only Ma Jian as a big killing move. In this way, the Jingzhou faction needs to be fueled at the most critical time, and they can easily harvest their native faction.

These Jingzhou outsiders are really despicable!

Just when a group of localist bigwigs were hesitating, a slave suddenly came in outside and delivered a letter to Zhou Shu. Zhou Shu took it apart and took a look, and his face turned ugly in an instant.

"Uncle Bu, what's going on?" Seeing this situation, Du Wei was a little strange and asked softly.

"Ma Jian has taken people to Bazhong!" Zhou Shu's face was ugly, and his tone was a little more gritted teeth.

He took more than 100 people from the cavalry and left Chengdu for Bazhong this morning. It is said that as the Prime Minister's Mansion Dongcao, he went to Bazhong to check the acres! ”

This sentence made the faces of everyone present change greatly, especially the words "check the acres of fields" at the end.

Since the implementation of Juntian and Tuntian in Longyou, the heartstrings of the major powerful clans in Yizhou have all been tensed. As soon as they heard about the inventory of the fields, everyone present remembered Ma Tan and his Juntian method.

Take the excess land of the big clans in the county, and divide the heads of the county equally to support the people. Since then, the treasury has been full, the soldiers are full, and there is no shortage of food in the court!

This is the original words of Li Yan when he was not dead, after investigating the Juntian Law in Yongzhou, and reported to the imperial court. Since then, no matter whether the local faction looks at the Dongzhou faction or the Jingzhou faction, they all wonder if they want to give the land of their local faction.

Ma Yan's action obviously really tugged at their heartstrings.

"Look at it, look at it! I'll just say that this is a delaying tactic by the Jingzhou faction, right? Zhou Shu waved his hand, his face was extremely ugly.

"Think about it, this time Wu won a big victory, and Wei and Wu were powerless to threaten Shuzhong. Moreover, because the Jingzhou faction took the opportunity to replenish a wave of strength, it was the time when the strength was the strongest. ”

"At this time, if they don't have any ideas about our native clan, they will have ghosts!"

"I have to write back to the family as soon as possible, the people have already prepared, if you have any way, you can think about it!"

Then Zhou Shu turned around and left, after all, Ma Jian went to Bazhong, and he was going to him at a glance.

As soon as Zhou Shu left, the rest of the people were all cloudy, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"Yunnan, why are you ......?"

"A certain is just a doctor, and this matter is not within the scope of a certain responsibility." However, Qian Zhou rarely chose to play dead, and turned around and left after saying a few casual words.

"Forget it! Let's go! Can't let the Jingzhou faction continue to be proud! Chen Zhou and Zhou Shu were gone, Du Wei's face was completely gloomy, and he shot the case directly.

"Since the Jingzhou faction is so arrogant, there is nothing we can do. Even if Zhuge Liang is unreasonable, he can't let us be bullied and not resist all the time, right? ”

"It's done!"

The plot of these two days was just written for the transition, and finally Shuzhong finished writing, which is called an ordeal
