Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 249 Expansion
Runan is a mess.

This kind of chaos actually started when Chu Nan invaded Ruyin, but Xiahou Dun was there at that time, and the gentry were very restrained, or dare not confront Chu Nan head-on, and pinned their hopes on Xiahou Dun, waiting for Xiahou Dun shot, and they beat the dog in the water.

However, the result of the incident surprised everyone. Xiahou Dun was defeated, and he was defeated in the first battle. Not only was he defeated, but the news that Xiahou Dun and Cai Yang died in the battle spread like a plague.

In a short period of time, it is difficult to have reinforcements, and Chu Nan, just as everyone feared, began to implement his Ghost New Deal in Runan.

To be honest, there are many complaints about Runan being governed under Yuan Shu, but the complaints and people's complaints are justified. After all, under Yuan Shu's governance, Runan has truly achieved the people's livelihood.

However, the Runan gentry should not complain, because they are the real beneficiaries under Yuan Shu's governance. Yuan Shu is a standard concept of respecting the gentry. In Yuan Shu's mind, there are only two kinds of people, the gentry and the non-gentry. The gentry is born noble , you should be superior, non-gentry people should do their own things well, and serve the noble people with peace of mind.

This set of governance methods is actually not a problem in this era. As long as the gentry support it, no matter how bad the underground is, it will not make waves. Yuan Shu's gentry support is definitely the highest among the princes before he proclaims himself emperor.

If Yuan Shu hadn't proclaimed himself emperor, perhaps he wouldn't have lost so quickly, and he might not even have lost. It's just that he became emperor, and those gentry who enjoyed the benefits of Yuan Shu's governance could only eat the dividends Yuan Shu brought them and scold Yuan Shu.

In the end, Yuan Shuzhong betrayed his relatives, and Runan returned to Cao Cao. Cao Cao actually wanted to rectify Runan, but when the time was short, and the gentry, how could they be willing to spit out the meat of their mouths?
There are many refugees in the land of Runan. Cao Cao wanted to implement farmland here, but found that almost all the cultivated land in Runan was taken by the gentry, and there was no room for it. He wanted to follow the example of Chu Nan and take back the cultivated land that did not belong to these people and resettle them Refugees, of course, can't be as drastic as Xuzhou's. They still have to negotiate with the Runan gentry to gain life through compromise.

However, it has not been discussed yet, Lu Bu has already attacked, and now he is starting to recruit refugees and check their household registrations. How can these people be willing?

However, with the lessons learned from Guangling and Jianghuai, this time, the gentry did not stand up to Chu Nan, but a large number of officials sent from Xuzhou died inexplicably these days.

Ruyin, government office.

"My lord, our people died like this!?" When Wei Yan, Cao Xing, and Wei Yue came in, they saw Xue Nian and others sitting. Wei Yan stood at the bottom and asked Chu Nan.

"Of course not." Chu Nan's face was not good-looking, and he sneered, "If they reason with me, then I can still talk to them, but now...but it's not necessary!"

"Ziyan, this Runan is different from Xuzhou. Now it's a gentry world, and our chamber of commerce is here..." Xue Nian couldn't help but want to persuade Chu Nan not to be impatient and take his time.

"The Chamber of Commerce is for our use. If one day, it wants to check and balance me, then there is no need for the Chamber of Commerce to exist!" Chu Nan looked at Xue Nian and said coldly.

Because of the previous trade relationship with Yuan Shu, Chu Nan's chamber of commerce has many contacts with wealthy merchants in Runan. These people obviously want to restrain Chu Nan from this aspect and force Chu Nan to compromise.

As for the death of an official, it can be seen as a blow to Chu Nan by these Runan gentry. So what if you can defeat Xiahou Dun?In front of us, you still have to come obediently.

However, this disarming power obviously did not scare Chu Nan.

"Wei Yan, Cao Xing, Wei Yue, Zhou Cang!" Chu Nan looked at the four generals who came in.

"The last general is here!" The fourth general stepped forward and saluted Chu Nan.

"Go and investigate the case yourself, our people can't die in vain!" Chu Nan took out four command arrows and handed them to the four of them.

"My lord, I won't investigate the case!" Zhou Cang took the command arrow and looked at Chu Nan blankly. Isn't he a bodyguard?What does investigation have to do with me?

"Master Wen and the others will tell you how to check." Chu Nan looked at Zhou Cang and said with a smile, "It's very simple."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will understand!" Seeing Chu Nan's gaze, Wei Yan nodded knowingly, got up and left with the other three.

Seeing this, Xue Nian could only sigh. After this battle in Runan, the business network will have to be rebuilt in the future.

"Tell me about what you are going to do next." Chu Nan looked at everyone: "It is urgent to check the cultivated land now, there will be troops to protect you, and the refugees who have been collected recently should be resettled as soon as possible, the old rules, come out in the cultivated land Before, these people repaired the city walls, dredged rivers, etc., and distributed food according to needs, and the last time the food was withheld happened again, this time it was the Zhujiu Clan."

Seeing that the faces of the people were not very good-looking, Chu Nan stood up and said, "I know that to save the people, you should save the officials first, and you must be fed before you can pass it on. But everyone, please make it clear that you are not officials! I lost my virtue first, because I think no one can replace you?"

Today's Chu Nan is no longer the kind boy he used to be, or he can be kind on weekdays, but when he gets angry, he has a power that makes people feel awe.

"It doesn't matter if you don't dare, or if you dare, I only look at the result!" Chu Nan looked at the crowd and said, "You and I are close friends, but you can betray me for profit, and I will kill you for profit. The Nine Clans, shouldn't count on this friendship, right?"

Many people were sweating on their foreheads. Although Chu Nan's voice was flat, they could hear the murderous intent under the flatness, and they all lowered their heads.

"Of course, I still hope that our friendship can continue. After all, there is a long way to go. If ten or twenty years later, you and I can still sit together and talk about the world, I think that will make me more happy than anything in the world. Happy." Chu Nan sighed, walked up to Xue Nian, patted him on the shoulder and said, "By then, chambers of commerce will be spread all over the world, and they will control the wealth of the world. What do you guys think...how good is that?"

"My lord's words are very true." Everyone couldn't help being attracted by the world Chu Nan described, and bowed one after another.

"Go do something, it will be very busy recently, and many people will die, but no matter what happens, you will never make a mistake if you do your own thing well." Chu Nan waved his hand, motioning everyone to go to work and busy themselves thing.

Everyone retreated in unison, turned and left, until everyone except Chu Nan's mansion felt relieved.

"This Ziyan is becoming more and more unreasonable!" Someone complained secretly.

Xue Nian didn't answer. In fact, he also felt this way. The higher he went, the greater the gap with his old friends, especially this kind of superior-subordinate relationship. Once confirmed, it would be difficult to be as close as before.

If you still get along with the mentality of friends in the past, it will definitely be very uncomfortable. This is why these old people from the chamber of commerce feel uncomfortable and awkward towards Chu Nan's inhumanity. After all, in their eyes, since Chu Nan is developed, take care of the old Friends are what they should be.

But Chu Nan was thinking about a bigger situation. Xue Nian only figured this out recently. What he faced was not as complicated as Chu Nan, but there were still many people who asked him to do things, and he always showed a trace of kindness. , not to mention all of them, but most of the people will have big snakes on their sticks, entangle you, it is really uncomfortable.

"If you don't want to be replaced, just do your own thing. My lord is not wrong, he just didn't pretend to ignore the self-pocketing things you are waiting for behind your back!" Xue Nian knew that his words were useless, and would cause these things. He is disgusted by others, but he still can't help but mention something. After all, they were friends who made a fortune together in the past, but now they are prosperous, and he doesn't want these former friends to end in a dismal end.

Cheng Yuan from several chambers of commerce nodded with a smile on his face, and didn't say anything more, but Xue Nian was a little desperate. He understood why Chu Nan said what he said before, and Chu Nan probably knew that these people would not listen. This is to prepare for the chamber of commerce.

Although I understand it, looking at these self-righteous guys, Xue Nian can only choose to be wise and safe. It is necessary to eliminate them, just like Xuzhou can flourish more after eliminating the gentry, not to mention these people rely more or less on Chu Nan's relationship , Some are defiant, even Chu Nan is ignored.

But these people don’t understand that it may not be easy for Chu Nan to find a general or counselor, but it is too easy to find a merchant to replace them. It is they who rely on Chu Nan instead of Chu Nan relying on them. easy to use!

And things happened just as Xue Nian expected. A few days later, someone tampered with the salaries of the refugees and was arrested directly. He was also quickly arrested.

As a result, without exception, the three tribes were wiped out!
Chu Nan's decisive and ruthless strikes stunned the members of the chamber of commerce who thought that Chu Nan was just scaring them. They didn't expect Chu Nan to be so ruthless and so ruthless.

However, it was obviously too late to beg for mercy at this time. The three clans were wiped out, and he himself was killed. Xue Nian watched the last group of people being dragged away numbly, saying nothing, and he couldn't say anything.

After all, this is their own fault. Chu Nan gave these people a chance to reform, but they never accepted it, and even betrayed Chu Nan's interests to collude with the enemy. No matter which one, Chu Nan's doing so is not serious.

"A new batch of members of the Chamber of Commerce has arrived!" Tian Yang brought a group of people over, looked at Xue Nian with a long sigh, and said with some amusement: "What's the pity? Some things should be taken, and some things should not be taken. As a merchant, even I can’t even see this clearly, and the destruction of the family is also self-inflicted.”

"It's finally..." Xue Nian shook his head with a wry smile. He naturally knew it, but he was still a little disappointed. Those people who were thinking about how to take advantage of their status to gain benefits in Runan not long ago, were still full of energy a few days ago, but in a blink of an eye It's a situation where all the families are copied and cut, and the danger has already been experienced before entering the officialdom.

"Do your own thing well, don't touch what you shouldn't, my lord is not a person who doesn't miss the past, but these people have done too much!" Tian Yang directed people to take over the matter, patted Xue Nian on the shoulder and said: "You deserve it! "

Maybe, I might really not be suitable for officialdom~
