Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 515: Northern Clouds Move!

But those small families are much more miserable.

It is said that it is a small family, but in fact these small families are only relatively speaking.

Put in the countryside, they are the real local rich, that is, the so-called "tyrants".

Don't look at them as small, most of the powerful are really causing trouble in the countryside. After all, natural and man-made disasters continued every year in the Han Dynasty, either wars or disasters.

In this case, you can still accumulate a considerable family. You said that there is no shit under your butt, and there is no blood on the land deed?

When you say this, do you believe it yourself?

The difference between a powerful family and a wealthy family and aristocratic family lies in the short-term and long-term vision.

The aristocratic families know to seek good luck and avoid evil, and avoid standing in teams as much as possible. Once they stand in line, they will try to stand on the side with the most powerful forces. If they stand on the wrong side, they will brake in time or spread out.

The elder brother stands in the state of Wei, the younger brother stands in the state of Shu, and the other brother stands in the state of Wu.

That's right, it's the Zhuge family in Langya.

Of course, with the birth of Yuan Tan, the distinction between the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu is no longer so clear, but the family's wise way of protecting oneself remains unchanged.

As for the aristocratic family, it is lower than the aristocratic family. Generally, the aristocratic family wants to climb up as soon as possible to become a new aristocratic family.

They will stand in line as soon as possible, and the more aggressive the Patriarch is, the more he will stand in the line of those less powerful princes.

What I want is a chicken and dog ascending to heaven.

A typical example is the Mi family in Xuzhou.

Regardless of the fact that the Mi family's wealth spreads all over the world, it is just a wealthy family after all, not a family at all.

A real aristocratic family is like the Chen family. No matter how many times the situation in Xuzhou changes, Dawangqi, my Chen family has maintained the position of the first family in Xuzhou from beginning to end and never let anyone else.

Anyway, whichever way the princes win Xuzhou, they will win over my Chen family.

And when it comes to the lowest level of power, it goes without saying.

The so-called fattened pigs are killed during the New Year, and the powerful are the fattened pigs, unless there are very few powerful family heads who have a long-term vision, or a genius who can lead the family to the blue sky ladder of the rich and even the aristocratic family.

Otherwise, things like tyranny have always been used by local officials to make political achievements and gain popularity.

What makes Yuan Tan dumbfounded is that there are actually rich people who are really entangled, wanting to set off a rebellion, and resist the soldiers of Ji Town who went to the countryside to track down those hidden households in Jizhen.

Although they are only organized by some rural rogues, not to mention the army, they don't even have weapons.

The resistance is also a show, and it can't stop the charge of Jizhen's soldiers at all.

What really worries Yuan Tan is the situation outside Ji Town.

"Teacher, according to your previous instructions, the land equalization order has been implemented. According to the progress of this implementation, the land equalization work will be completed by the end of March at the latest, and the farming season will not be delayed." Xu Shu held a scroll in his hand. Bobu, after comparing the last round of inventory and statistics tables.

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan nodded, and handed Xu Shu a cup of tea. Although the two are masters and apprentices, they are close, and they are actually more like teachers and friends.

Don't care about these minutiae.

Xu Shu took the teacup and drank it down, moistened his throat, and was about to speak when he heard hurried footsteps outside.

The two people immediately raised their heads to look outside the door, only to see Deng Ai rush in from the outside with a hurried look on his face, still breathing heavily.

Seeing that Xu Shu and Yuan Tan were both there, Deng Ai's expression relaxed obviously, and he quickly handed over the roll of silk cloth he was holding in his hand.

Deng Ai didn't wait for his breath to calm down, so he said quickly: "Teacher, this is an urgent message from Mr. Xun from Xuzhou, and it must be handed over to the teacher immediately."

Yuan Tan took the roll of silk cloth, unfolded it, and watched it together with Xu Shu and Deng Ai. After Xu Shu and Deng Ai read the whole content, their expressions were a little dignified.

On the contrary, Yuan Tan was much calmer.

He had already learned about the information sent by Xun Yu through the guards who stayed behind at Daddy Cheap.

It's not an unexpected thing.

It was nothing more than the land equalization order he implemented in Ji Town, which stepped on the tail of many families in Hebei and made them unable to help but start jumping around.

After all, although Yuan Shao had been promoting the investigation of Yintian and hermit households before, everyone knew the intensity.

Just look at so many hidden fields and hidden households that Jizhen has found out in the second investigation this time. Those big families are nothing more than a symbolic handover of a small part, so that Daddy Cheap can justify his face.

In addition, Cheap Daddy did not have a reasonable plan before.

Whether it is the hidden households or the hidden fields that have been suppressed, there is no proper resettlement, that is, they will not have to pay all taxes for the first three years.

Coupled with the suppression of the cheap father, the local officials did not have the courage to urge the payment of various exorbitant taxes.

These occult households are having a decent life right now.

But once the three-year period passed, Yuan Tan knew without thinking that the local officials and the powerful people in the countryside would already be salivating at these "fatties".

For them, this is a real feast of delicious food.

It would be no wonder if they could bear it!
Anyway, they have been playing that set of routine operations for hundreds of years, and they have become so proficient that they are about to become a routine.

In fact, it has indeed become a routine. As a later generation, Yuan Tan thought about it carefully and found that even in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the local tyrants still used those tricks to exploit the people. Just a new title.

Change the soup without changing the medicine, it still tastes the same.

But Yuan Tan's land equalization order was different.

The biggest difference between the land equalization order and the investigation order implemented by Cheap Dad is that ordinary people who were not protected before are now protected.

That is the soldiers who "leased" their fields.

The food and clothing of the soldiers came from the output of the equally divided fields. Anyone who dared to touch this would be spreading his wings on the verge of death.

This year is not a peaceful year, and military mutiny or something can be said to be a common thing.

Among other things, as far as what happened to the camp in Jizhen, if it was any other prince, he would have already mutinied.

It is only due to Yuan Tan's prestige that the Ji Town camp has survived until now.

In fact, just after Yuan Tan took care of Liu Ying, Xu Shu once came over mysteriously and told him that if they didn't come, the soldiers of the Jizhen Daying Camp were already preparing to go to Beijing in March of the second year of Ding'an There was a rebellion in the month.

Anyway, there is death on both sides, so it is better to be a dead ghost.

Regarding the choice of soldiers, Yuan Tan has no taboos, what soldiers want is blood.

If you don't even have blood, how can you guard the frontier of the Han Dynasty?

But he still verbally beat the three captains of Ji Town, telling them to keep their own place, and let Xu Shu and Deng Ai directly take over the power of the barracks.

Even Yuan Tan is so cautious.

Not to mention, those Confucian scholars who can only talk empty-handed!
