"In the past three months, through inspections of several counties, I have gained some new understanding of the land in Liaodong." Liu Yu said unhurriedly.

"Oh? What is that?" The clan elder asked curiously.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yu elaborated: "At first, I thought that this place had few household registrations, so it was bitterly cold and withered, and it was close to the northern part of the Great Wall, so it was turbulent. But this idea has changed. This place has a vast territory, sufficient resources, and it is adjacent to foreigners, so it has natural characteristics. The geographical advantages allow me to purchase horses and livestock extensively. I was unable to manage this area because of war and other factors before, but now that I have spare capacity, I must step up development.”

You are the host and I am the guest?

wrong.

You are the tenant and I am the landlord.

Whether it is farmland or mutual market, I will do my best to promote Liaodong as my rear base in Dayouzhou, or even the final choice.

Still the same sentence, who do you send it to?

"..."

Although the topic of their conversation sounded very normal, Gongsunyin seemed to feel the 'invisible wrestling' from inside.

And she didn't think she was thinking too much.

There really is a rivalry where both men are trying to dominate.

Hey, I hope that today's dialogue can lead to a peaceful consensus and no more bloodshed.

I don't want to see the whole city full of wailing and bloody scenes like that again.

"Liaodong is not as rich and prosperous as the Central Plains. It is really aggrieved for the Lord to condescend to come here."

Leaning on the crutches with both hands, and resting his chin with the hand holding the head of the crutch, the clan elder smiled, showing a kind of old man's kindness.

Such is the conversation between nobles, always full of cryptic hints and words that are very likely to cause misunderstanding.

But this one is okay, he didn't start with the temperature of the sandalwood, the taste of the hot wine, or even the ingenious design of the building of the wine shop.

Generally speaking, it is still unpretentious and unpretentious.

However, Liu Yu was in a hurry to get off work.

"Basically, some major political strategies will be carried out in accordance with the issued orders. But some things that can be negotiated, we can have a good chat."

Liu Yu stretched out a hand, and asked the clan elder in front of him with a smile, "Please also tell me, the clan elder, what demands does your family have."

Speaking of this, Gongsun Lu sat upright.

Because he has demands.

But due to the seat of the second seat and the identity of the interviewer, I can only endure it, and wait for the clan elder to finish speaking before taking the opportunity to raise it.

Of course, it is best if the protagonist can take the initiative to talk about himself.

As long as he speaks, Gongsun Lu is willing to have a story with this lord!

"Ah, this..." After being pointed out, the clan elder made a somewhat embarrassed look, and said with a dry smile, "I don't have any selfish intentions, but everyone is very concerned about the future, and they elected me as the representative."

"Understood." Liu Yu nodded, and said calmly, "The Gongsun family has made a lot of contributions to Liaodong, so it is only natural to make some requests."

"Okay then, I'm not too polite, let's talk a little bit."

Putting down his cane, he stroked his gray beard with his hands. He said in a thoughtful way: "In the five counties of Liaodong, including some counties below, there are many children of the Gongsun family who are officials. There are not many of these children. The lofty goal is to stay in my hometown so that I can serve my parents. So... I implore my lord, when changing officials, can those small officials with a few hundred shi go or stay according to their own ideas?"

Liu Yu's trip is to reshuffle Liaodong politically and replace his own people in key positions.

Therefore, there is bound to be a major adjustment.

Regarding the drastic changes that are about to take place, the clan elder does not intend to shake them, because he has self-knowledge.

But generally speaking, it is the grassroots officials, even the county officials, who are more dependent on protecting the interests of the family.

In order to stabilize the basic position of the aristocratic family, the key positions in the local area must be in their own hands.

Only in this way can the privileges of hiding household registration and using militia to maintain public order be exercised.

"Okay, I can agree to this."

Liu Yu really wanted to suppress the family, but he never thought of killing the family.

If everything is really changed, the family will really unite to rebel against themselves if they are forced to do so.

For example, Cao Cao, under his rule, Wei Guo had many rebellions.

Apart from the black spot of coercing the emperor to make the princes, it is his attitude of tough suppression of the family.He was so tough that after his death, the family headed by Chen Qun and Sima Yi dared to use "push you to the top" to threaten Cao Pi to promulgate the nine-rank Zhongzheng system.

So for the aristocratic family, you must not exploit too hard.

It is necessary to wait for a suitable opportunity and make a series of foreshadowings before the official selection system can be advanced.

Why did Sima Jin die?

It was bad for the emperor's noble paratroopers, and it was even worse for the nine-rank system that had been ruined for thousands of years.

"Thank you, my lord, for your understanding."

The clan elder put his hands together and bowed softly to Liu Yu.

"Well, are there any others?"

The purpose of chatting today is to reach a consensus and form an agreement, so Liu Yu can agree to what is said now, as long as it is reasonable.

But if you still want to buzz next to my ears in the future, then don't blame me for turning my face and denying people.

"Well..." The clan elder could feel the other party's attitude through Liu Yu's casual tone, so he didn't hide it, and continued, "Also, if my lord implements farming, I hope the family can participate. Of course, we will bring our own Farm tools and cattle, as well as family members, participate in the labor together. And, after the autumn harvest, they will be divided equally with the government according to the ratio of seven to three."

"The aristocratic family produces cows, people and farm tools, only [-]%?!"

Hearing this, Liu Yu made a surprised expression.

"???" Gongsun said.

"???" Gongsun recorded.

"..."

Like the two juniors, the clan elder was shocked and almost choked to death.But Liu Yu didn't seem to be pretending to be stupid, so he stroked his beard with trembling fingers, and changed his words: "Then...that's [-]%, thank you for your care."

Sure enough, the guy's fox tail was exposed.

Because the income of military colonies in Zhuojun and other places is too high, they are jealous and want to engage in a similar production model.However, there is a prerequisite for military settlements, which is the collective labor mode of the army and the people.

And they don't have an army to supervise the farmers who plant the land.

So, I wanted to prostitute the government's army for nothing, and let the government help them squeeze the farmers.

Even more disgusting.

The aristocratic family wants to prostitute the land and the army for free, and then share with the government, directly ignoring the standpoint of farmers participating in the army.

If this request was granted, it would mean that the village system began to collapse.

After all, the reason why farmland has such a big profit is because farmers can get a commission, and the more they work, the more they will reap, so enthusiasm and efficiency are unprecedentedly high.

Now the aristocratic family has joined the farming, and the fruits of labor are still divided between the aristocratic family and the government.

What is a farmer?

Became a servant again.

Moreover, the exploitation was more serious than before-being directly forced to farm by the army.

"Clan elders, the army is the country's major plan."

I can still show basic respect to you when chatting before, just like a young man chatting with an old man.But now it is about business, Liu Yu naturally showed his original face, the scheming face that Gongsunyin is most familiar with, and strictly forbade him: "Juntun has set rules from the beginning, and no aristocratic family is allowed to participate. Therefore, this Asking for pardon."

"..." After eating this, the elder of the clan began to feel bad, and he couldn't even keep his smile.

Because the strategy of strengthening the family power that he had thought of with great pains was easily resolved by Liu Yu, a young man.

In the original history of the Three Kingdoms period, the tuntian system was effective at first, because it mobilized the enthusiasm of the refugees, but because of interests, after being taken over by a powerful family, this good system was completely abolished.

People who don't understand the history of this trick of the clan elders may be easily fooled, after all, it is too tempting.

If people, farm tools, and cattle are produced, and the barren land is developed, the government can still get half of the share. Isn't this the same as a prostitution family?

No.

I heard from my Yuzi that the water in the farmland is very deep, and it is difficult to grasp it.In order to prevent these aristocratic clans from regaining control of Youzhou's land, population, and even the army, this must not be done.

"Well, what else? Let's talk about it together."

Liu Yu supported his cheeks with his hands, admiring Gongsunyin's delicate and fair side face, without even looking at the clan elder, and the casualness in his tone became stronger and stronger.

Sure enough, the atmosphere turned bad again!

Gongsunyin, who is so straightforwardly admired by the lord, doesn't care about her complexion today, whether she is ladylike and dignified, but worried about whether this negotiation will suddenly turn into a flipping the table!

so horrible.

Everyone, calm down.

Fight it, fight it, fight it fast!

Gongsun Lu was already relieved, because he had long wanted to see the picture of the old guy being deflated.

If the relationship between the two of them collapses at this time, then if I take advantage of the situation to please the lord, won't I get the official position, power, everything?

I can't bear it anymore.

Want to make a fire.

"..." The clan elder, who had always been calm and calm, was finally half annoyed.

He knew the kid was tough.

But he is now over seventy years old, four or fifty years longer than Liu Yu.

It can be said that when he talked and laughed happily with the governor general, this little boy hadn't been born yet!

Damn it, let him see my methods.

Let him know what an iron family and a flowing royal family are!

"Also, the army."

The clan elder also held his breath, and said quite seriously: "My lord is going to mobilize the army this time, but it is impossible to mobilize more than 3 people. Therefore, our clan hopes that the remaining defenders will be the generals of our Gongsun clan." All the armies of the rest of the family can be transferred to Jicheng, and let the lord dispose of them."

He was in a hurry, he was really in a hurry.

I was so anxious that I lost my mind, and said all such explicit words.

It's okay to suppress the family, but don't attack our family, other families will be attacked at will.

Good guy, you really know how to calculate.

"Forgiveness is hard to obey."

Liu Yu turned his head and looked at the clan elder who was no longer kind. Although he really wanted to ask him directly, "Who are you sending it to?", he held back because of his extremely high quality.Just one word and one sentence, the extremely concise Tong knew: "My army, I can adjust it as I want."

So explicit.

This sentence was so explicit that he directly described the big man's army as his own.

The atmosphere became serious in an instant.

Like a layer of frost, no matter how warm the stove is, there is no way to raise the temperature.

Until the clan elder hit the floor hard with his cane, and said: "I have lived for more than 70 years, and I have never seen such an official as the lord!"

Well, now you see it.

Unexpectedly, the chat broke down.

Because of the greed of the family.

That being the case, then Liu Yu is no longer a benevolent gentleman. Instead of talking to the elders, he slowly turned to Gongsunlu, and after the other party sat up nervously and expectantly, he asked with a smile, "What is the official position of the young master now?"

"..."

The clan elder was furious because this kid dared to ignore him!

Also, what is the purpose of this dog traitor, you ask?

what are you doing!

"I'm not talented, now I'm a county magistrate!"

Gongsun Lu, who was caught by the CUE, reacted very quickly and took two steps back, then prostrated himself on the ground and replied loudly.

Grass, just a FVV like you can still be a county magistrate?
