Shu Chen

Chapter 27
"The rich man's house consists of hundreds of buildings, plastered fields are full of fields, thousands of slaves and servants are attached to thousands of people. Ships and carts are sold in all directions; abandoned houses and stores are full of capital. Qi bribes treasures, but giant houses cannot. Horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs cannot be tolerated in the valleys. The concubine of the demon boy fills the room; the music of acura is listed in the deep hall." - Zhong Changtong's "Reconciliation".

This is the description of the noble family by Shangshu Langzhong Changtong when he was offered to the emperor.

For example, Mi Zhu, the Anhan general who sponsored the first lord Liu Bei to start his own business, was one of the wealthy families in the Central Plains with "ancient ancestors, thousands of children, and hundreds of millions of dollars".

The same is true of the Bashu aristocracy who have been isolated and secluded since ancient times.

With such a huge amount of money and acreage of children, if he is in power again, it will not take long for the palace to change its owner.

Therefore, when Zhuge Liang asked about the "tenderness" strategy, whether he wanted to grant the power of the noble family in Shu, Zheng Pu was immediately stunned, and it was not surprising.

Is this a question?
He was clearly asking Zheng Puzhi if he would change the surname of the Yuhan family!
Ah, sure enough!

The family, the country and the clan of the township party are the principles of the world. As a scholar in Yizhou, my words will inevitably be misunderstood because they are planned by the township party.

Even if he is as wise as the prime minister, he can only see it for a while, and he cannot be exempted from the vulgarity.

With a deep sigh in his heart, Zheng Pu faced Zhuge Liang's scrutiny, his eyes were incomparably clear, and he answered in a loud voice: "Returning to the Prime Minister, it seems to be true, not true."

"Ok?"

The very unexpected answer caused Zhuge Liang to raise his eyebrows slightly, with a surprised look on his face.

Without even realizing it, his body leaned forward slightly.

Immediately, as if realizing the gaffe, he sat up straight again, closed his eyes and thought for a while, before he slowed down his voice and said gently, "Zijin, as much as you can."

"promise."

Zheng Pu nodded and said again, already furious, "The wealthy clan in Shu, their offices are located in the prefectures, and their fields are connected to Fang. ; Not to be the head of a family, but to have a thousand houses and famous towns. The glory and joy are more than the emperor, and the disgrace is more than the order. Even the weak and wise sons are defeated, and they are sent to death without restraint. He was wronged and poor, and he dared not take care of himself. He is indeed a giant rat in the country! It is not an exaggeration to call him a gangrene of bones! Even though Pu is from Shu, he is also contemptuous!"

"That's a great word!"

Immediately, Zhuge Liang clasped his palms and smiled, his eyes filled with admiration.

After thinking for a while, he asked in a hurried voice, "Yi Zijin's intention is to imitate Emperor Xiaowu's act of graciousness, and divide these great kingdoms. Well, the wealthy families in Shu are divided into several small households to eliminate their power? "

"Even if it's not in the middle, it's not far!"

When Zheng Pu talked about his sexuality, he lost his mind for a while, and even uttered witty words.

Gu Pan was shocked when he saw Zhuge Liang's half-smile but not smiling expression.

Only then did he realize that he was actually just now, and made a joke to the big Han Prime Minister who opened the government!

In an instant, countless cold sweats suddenly broke out on Zheng Pu's back, and he hurriedly bowed his head to plead guilty, "I am a scumbag, unseemly, arrogant and arrogant, a death penalty! A death penalty!"

"Hahaha~~~~~~"

Zhuge Liang laughed happily.

Even the tiredness between his brows seemed to be played away by laughter.

After a while, he put away his smile and raised his hand to help him, "Shuzi Wushu! Get up."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, not to blame."

Zheng Pu thanked him repeatedly, and he didn't dare to make any extra ramifications.

"One is divided into households. In the past, Cao Cao relocated all the people of Hanzhong, so that the Hanzhong County is now desolate. It is better for the court to entrust other people with other affairs, and move the branch of the noble family in Shu to settle in Hanzhong."

"The second is to take credit. Today, Sun Wu Laimu, the rebellion in Nanzhong can be dealt with! I just thought, I might as well use the time to deal with Nanzhong to pardon the officials of the children of the nobles in Shu, and let them raise money from the family to recruit the brave and brave from the barbarians. It is a part. The size of its official position is determined by the number of soldiers recruited. Naturally, since it has been appointed by the imperial court, it must be dispatched by the imperial court. If it is beneficial to its soldiers, the rate of its subordinate generals can be determined, and then it can be transferred to Hanzhong or Nanzhong for garrisoning. Depends on time.”

"If these two things can be carried out smoothly, the rich people of Shu will also support Hanke to restore the Central Plains for their own advantages and disadvantages!"

After a while of dry mouth, Zheng Pu said everything without pausing for a moment.

Um.
After Zhuge Liang heard this, he nodded slightly and made a nasal sound, and closed his eyes again.

With his intelligence, he didn't need Zheng Pu to talk too much, he knew it.For example, "the imperial court entrusts others to do things", which means that the minor officials of the counties and counties are asked to find the nephews and sons of the wealthy clans in Shu for the rampant and illegal things in the villages and towns.

It's a breeze.

Since ancient times, people have not raised officials or investigated them.

The low-level shuli are used to being humble, being oppressed and aggrieved by the wealthy clan, and they will not bring it up to the government, but they will swallow it up with the attitude that more things are worse than less things.

The same is true for another officer.

All you need to do is find a name to reward the nobles of Shu and Mengyin's sons and nephews.

What he is weighing in his mind is the pros and cons.

Because of Zheng Pu's two suggestions, both of them have grown invisibly, the prestige and power of the wealthy clan in Shu!

And then lead to, the tail can't be too big!
Taking the Zheng family in Shifang as an example, the eldest brother Zheng Yan has already established his own business, while Zheng Pu guards the mulberry garden, which seems to have been divided into industries and declined.However, they are connected with each other and still advance and retreat together.

If you want to be completely divided, you have to wait for the arrival of "The Zeal of Gentlemen, Killed in the Fifth World".

This time process is too long!

It looks so worried that the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang will not be able to bear the weight of the Han court, which will lead to the brewing of bitter wine!
There was a long silence.

Zhuge Liang opened his eyes, looked at Zheng Pu, and said softly, "Zijin, have you ever thought about it, how serious is it?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, you have thought about it."

Nodding heavily, Zheng Pu bowed his hands in a salute, and said, "This is also the third thing that Pu thought. When Pu was young, he heard the first test and said that Guanzhong was a country of heaven and a dense population. The surrounding area of ​​Maoling is an honor.”

"The heart of the boy is extremely insidious! Hahaha~~~~~"

This time, when Zhuge Liangfu heard it, he couldn't help but feign anger and laughed again.

Because it is an honor to settle in the vicinity of Maoling, Zheng Pu said the opposite.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the Mausoleum, he forcibly relocated the wealthy and wealthy merchants from all over the country to settle in the surrounding area. This was to uproot these "folk tycoons" from the local area, so that they could not make a fortune in the countryside!

Therefore, after listening to Zhuge Liang, he knew the ruthlessness of Zheng Pu's advice.

First, let the wealthy people in Shu land take the bait and support the revival of the Han Dynasty; after the land of Sanqin is captured, they will all move to Guanzhong to settle down under the pretext of moving back to the old capital!
The wealthy clans in Shu have left Shu, do they still need to worry about their tails getting too big?

As for whether or not they can conquer Guanzhong, there is no need to think about it.

After all, even the wealthy clans in Shu have dedicated themselves to their lives, and they have gathered all their strength. If they are not able to conquer the land of Guanzhong, the big man will have no future.What else to worry about? !

"Zijin, your way of planning has already entered the hall, so you should encourage yourself."

After a burst of laughter, Zhuge Liang restrained his face, his eyes contained majesty, but his tone was earnestly expectant, "In time, he may be able to compete with Fa Xiaozhi."
