Sure enough, as expected.

As soon as Liu De promulgated the policy, everyone from the aristocratic family to the common people exclaimed in surprise. However, the powerful landlords were in mourning, but the common people were indeed rejoicing.

Under the leadership of Patriarch Wang, too many aristocratic families in Liao City went to ask Zheng Kui for an explanation, but the gate of Zheng's mansion was closed, Zheng Kui closed the door to thank the guests, and only sent a young man out to talk to Patriarch Wang and the others.I hope they obey the government's arrangement and don't cause trouble, otherwise no one can bear Liu Delei's anger.

It seemed to be an admonishing tone, but it made the head of the Wang family and others even more angry. The head of the Wang family directly took them back to his mansion, and said to everyone: "Many of our children work in Liao City, tell them, no one is allowed Work hard for Liu De, isn’t Liu De amazing? I wonder if his government orders can be carried out without our help!”

Patriarch Wang knew that he could never fight Liu De head-on. Gu Pu's lesson from the past was still in front of him, so the blood of Gu's family hadn't dried up yet!

Patriarch Wang said viciously: "Liu De, it's in vain for us to please you in every possible way, and what we get in return is to poach our blood. You are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

Patriarch Wang wrote a letter and handed it to his confidant servant, and told him in a low voice, the servant nodded repeatedly and headed west.

Then Patriarch Wang continued to connect with each other in private, and Liao City suddenly became undercurrents, dangerous and murderous.

But the majority of the common people don’t care about the crying and crying of the aristocratic families. They only care about the immediate benefits. The removal of exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes allows them to finally not have to work hard for a year. The whole family can’t afford to support them. .

More young and strong people are eyeing Liu De's recruitment order. Liu De's treatment for soldiers is definitely leveraged. Regardless of the division of military merit, one soldier can basically feed the whole family.Just the fact that if they get credit and retire due to disability, they can go to the village or pavilion to serve as the pavilion chief, or even to have official positions in the village such as Youzhi, Mifu, and Youqi, which is enough to make them burst into strong enthusiasm.

Don't look at these pitiful officials, but in fact they have great power. They are really the emperors of the land, and everyone should be in awe.

For a while, the crowd was surging, and even the joy of the New Year could not stop the enthusiasm of the people.

The military camp outside Liaocheng, the recruiting point set up by Liu Gui and Guan Yu was overcrowded. The young and strong from other counties in Yanzhou traveled thousands of miles to Liaocheng and wanted to join Liu De's army. With the approval of the nobles and others, a list has been drawn up, and it is ready to be handed over to Liu De for inspection at that time.

Liu De's control over the army is very strict, even the appointment of Shichang and Bochang, the lowest-level military positions, must be personally approved, and Guan Yu and other generals only have the right to make suggestions, which is conducive to Liu De's control over the army.

Of course, in actual operation, Liu De generally would not reject the suggestions of Guan Yu and others, and Liu De did not have time to review them one by one, but this system must be implemented. Maybe he will delegate the lower-level appointments when the territory expands. Focus on controlling the military position at the captain's level.

"My lord, there's news from Guo Zidong!" Dai Zong held the bamboo slips in both hands and handed them to Liu De.

"it is good!"

Liu De put down the brush, opened the bamboo slips, and browsed quickly.

It has been a month since the new year, and the conscription is still in full swing. Liu De is also preparing to issue the recruitment order. Once the recruitment order is issued, the conflict between Liu De and the aristocratic family will be brought to light again, although it will not be treated as such. He is an enemy, but his aversion to Li is increasing day by day. Zheng Kui came to dissuade Liu De many times, but Liu De was unmoved. Angrily, Zheng Kui cursed: "If you don't conspire with each other, you are killing yourself! "

Politics!Pull a batch and fight a batch!If you really stand on the opposite side of all the aristocratic families, I'm afraid Liu De will really sit on the wax.

How could Liu De be that kind of really reckless person?

But restricting the aristocratic family is what Liu De must do.Back then, in order to restrict the aristocratic families, Cao Cao continued to promote the poor families to suppress the aristocratic families. He followed the path of the legalist families. The views on Cao's regime are very big. Cao's usurpation of the Han Dynasty is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is a matter of class interests.

The Sima family is the representative of the gentry, and the interests they represent are consistent with those of other aristocratic families, so these aristocratic families are happy to see the Sima family replace the Cao family.

Another reason is that the Cao clan basically has no real power, so when Sima Yi and his son couped, no clan members came out to defend the royal family.

In addition, the talents of the Cao family were withered. The lifespans of the two emperors Cao Pi and Cao Rui were too short, and the successors were too young, which could easily lead to the loss of power.Cao Rui died of illness in his thirties. If Cao Rui lived ten more years, then the Cao family might have another ending.

At the beginning, the Cao family followed Cao Cao's clan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou brothers, Cao Xiu, and even later Cao Zhen were all talented generals, heroes among men, but Cao Shuang, who finally came to power, what the hell!Being fooled casually by Sima Yi, he actually surrendered!

Politics is life and death, not a child's play, Cao Shuang is really like a dog!

Having said so much, the meaning expressed is very simple. Liu De also wants to follow Cao Cao's path and support the poor and common people.

But Cao's final failure reminded Liu De, so Liu De had to make more plans for the future.

At least stabilize them first.

So Liu De persuaded Zheng Kui to let him help him appease the families, and promised that the rights that the families should have will not change, that is, the investigation system, and they will not embezzle the land of the families. As long as they clear the land normally and pay taxes, they will not He will never punish the aristocratic family without any reason, and ask Zheng Gong to tell the family heads.

Liu De's reputation is still good.

Zheng Kui may feel that Liu De's tone has become relaxed, and Liu De has already given a lot of benefits to the family. Although paying taxes is still so disgusting, how can a person not bow his head under the eaves.

With Liu De's army in hand, if they really tear their face apart, they will definitely be the unlucky ones. In other words, even if Liu De will die, it will be this group of aristocratic families who will die first!

So Zheng Kui complied with what Liu De said, and went to appease everyone. Those who were timid responded, and no longer opposed Liu De, and there were more aristocratic families lurking, waiting for the day when Liu De was weakened. They don't mind giving Liu De a fatal blow at the end.

And there are still a small number of aristocratic families who can't wait for it. Among them, the Patriarch of the Wang family is the head. He has long had enough of Liu De's tyranny. He vowed to let Liu De know how powerful he is.

Back to business...

Liu De opened the bamboo slips that Dai Zong handed over. The contents inside were just a few words that were not painful or itchy, and they encouraged him to go south to serve the king. He didn't say at all whether he would go to attack the Cao thief, and Liu De understood Guo Zidong's intentions through these few words. Thoughts, he would never go south at all, and he even wished he could go south by himself.

But Liu De will never give up his intention to go south, is there really only one way to go to sea?Liu De fell into deep thought.

Then Liu De asked, "What happened to the Gao family? Didn't Guo Zidong order the Gao family to offer the city to surrender?"

Dai Zongdao: "My lord, according to some news from some merchants, the Gao family is mainly divided into two groups, which are hostile to each other. One group advocates surrendering to Guo Zidong, and the other group is unwilling to give up their rights. Refuse to surrender, of course there are still some people who advocate surrendering to us, but it is only a few people, it will not affect the overall situation!"

"Oh? Hehe, this is quite interesting! Of course we must take advantage of such a good opportunity, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste? I asked you to choose the manpower, have you selected it?" Liu De said.

Dai Zong presented a silk book to Liu De, saying: "The selection has been made, my lord, this is the list of people who will be selected at the end, a total of 500 people."

Liu De took a look at it, and it contained elite soldiers from various departments of the Dongyu Army, and even soldiers from the Tiger Guard Battalion. Liu De also saw Zhang Qiuming's name in it.

Liu De said with a smile: "You have wiped out all the elites in the army!"

"This is also to open up the situation quickly!" Dai Zong laughed.

Liu De put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and ordered: "Okay, since that's the case, Dai Zong listens!"

"The end is here!"

"I want you to quickly send people to infiltrate the Guo family and the Gao family's forces, search for all the news about them that is beneficial to us, and secretly provoke the Gao family to rebel against Guo Zidong, and even create chaos. You must not let Guo Zidong easily destroy the Gao family Winning, he can't win the Gao family, which is very beneficial to us!" Liu De said.

Dai Zong showed a hint of viciousness, and said to Liu De: "My lord, I will definitely not let you down in the end." This is the first mission issued by the lord since he established the Gongwei Division, and Dai Zong will perfect him no matter what. of completed.

Then he hesitated, but still said: "Master, do you still want to go south to King Qin?"

"That's right, cross the sea and go to Danzhou!"

"My lord, it's too dangerous! There are huge winds and waves on the sea, if you're not careful..." Dai Zong wanted to persuade him, but Liu De stopped him.

Liu De said: "Go and call over Junjun Xun and Junshi Xu, as well as General Liu, General Guan, General Yan, and General Gongsun. I have something to order."

"Yes! The general will go here!" Dai Zong nodded and left the study.

"Next, how should we go about this move?"

Liu De casually sketched on the bamboo slips with a brush in his hand.

......

Dongyu, Liu Mansion.

"Be careful!" Shen Feng, who had been completely promoted to the chief housekeeper of Liu's residence, shouted loudly.
