Chapter 312 Liu Bei is a person who is good at making cakes

The policy of the Luoyang court has not changed, and the situation of semi-official and semi-private affairs throughout the country has not changed.

Liu Bei doesn't have the ability to change anything now.

But in Liangzhou, Liu Bei realized the monopoly of salt and iron in some areas through market competition and strong authority.

Naturally, the salt officials and iron officials that should be there still exist, and the taxes that should be collected still have to be collected. Liu Bei doesn't find it troublesome to turn his left hand over his right hand.

He also doesn't like the serious salt and iron monopoly. Liu Bei also has a little idea of ​​what the bureaucrats can do.

Although semi-official and semi-private is not a good strategy, it is better than the monopoly of salt and iron, at least it leaves a glimmer of life for the people.

Therefore, under this flurry of actions, Liu Bei did not completely lock the opening of the salt and iron monopoly.

After getting rid of those who were not in the same heart as him before, Liu Bei turned to open up his interests to his core followers for longer-term considerations.

In order to encourage them to follow and support him even more wholeheartedly, Liu Bei intends to include them in his economic plan.

Abbreviation, win over.

It is not a simple matter to make people with ability and capital work hard. Benefits are an eternal topic that can never be bypassed. Liu Bei did not naively think that his subordinates are all selfless, nor did he think that they are all a group of desireless A tool man who bows to him without asking.

Obviously, if you think about it a little bit, you should know that they each have their own desires and their own interests.

Therefore, what should be given to the subordinates must be given. Only by forming a bond on the level of interests can the subordinates work for themselves wholeheartedly, instead of having the possibility of becoming Xiao Fengxian anytime, anywhere.

And sometimes even if the lord's charm is amazing, the subordinates really have no way to do what Xiao Fengxian does, and they will not continue to follow the lord, but will choose to leave and find a place that is more in line with their own interests.

Because the interests are really incompatible.

For example, Uncle Liu Huang's lost Qianzhao and Tian Yu.

It's not that they have no conscience, or that Uncle Liu Huang is unattractive, and it's not that their relationship is not good enough, but that Zhao Zhao and Tian Yu can't abandon their hometown and family.

Uncle Liu Huang couldn't give them what they wanted, or in other words, what the family needed that they couldn't give up, so under the threat of troubled times, they had no choice.

So Liu Bei saw this era clearly.

Emotional connection is important, but personal charm is also very important, so the personality of the big man and warm man cannot be lost, and the image of the macho man born from heaven cannot be distorted.

But the benefits must be given in place. If there is no benefit, how many people can go all the way to the end?
Especially for some subordinates from big families, their joining will bring great help to Liu Bei, so what they need will not be cheap.

For example, the Yan family, a local rich family, made great contributions to Liu Bei's firm foothold in Liangzhou. Hanyang prefect Gai Xun's support for Liu Bei was an important support for Liu Bei's initial firm foothold in Liangzhou.

To keep them loyal, the feedback they need is not comparable to what the subordinates from Weihan background need.

For the subordinates who came from humble backgrounds, it is enough to give them emotions, positions, high officials and generous salaries, and consider their personal needs. They don't have too many family needs.

But for the subordinates who were born in a big family, it is necessary to consider their family needs.

At this stage, Liu Bei really cannot do without them, so what should be given must be given.

As his power grows stronger and his status higher and higher, he must use this method to further unite people's hearts and become an entity.

To put it simply, he needs to hold a new spoils conference in a new stage.

Liu Bei divided his subordinates into ranks according to their birth size.

Among his subordinates, the family with the greatest local influence should be the Gai family, the Yan family, the Zhen family, and the Cao family and Xiahou family as the first grade.

Both the Gai family and the Yan family have great influence in the Liangzhou area, and their influence overflows Dunhuang County and Hanyang County, and they belong to the state-level families.

The Zhen family inherited the position of two thousand stones in the Zhongshan Kingdom, and their influence overflowed the Zhongshan Kingdom, so they also have a certain influence in Jizhou, and they can also be regarded as a state-level family.

The Cao family and the Xiahou family alone are not enough to form any influence in Yuzhou, but the two families joined hands, with the Cao family as the main family and the Xiahou family as the supplement. It can be regarded as a family association with certain influence in Yuzhou.

These five families are deeply bound to Liu Bei and have strong strength in themselves. They have basically cooperated with Liu Bei in an all-round way, betting on Liu Bei, providing Liu Bei with great help, and are the first-line force to support Liu Bei.

Regardless of when they followed Liu Bei and were deeply bound to Liu Bei, their importance is beyond doubt.

And one of their characteristics is that an individual cannot easily represent the family. The family and the individual are separated in a sense, and the individual often needs to obey the needs of the family.

It is worth mentioning that although Xun Yu was also of noble birth, his family investment was too scattered and he did not serve Liu Bei wholeheartedly, so Liu Bei did not include the Xun family.

Xun Yu alone cannot represent the Xun family, but can only represent Xun Yu's own small family. Only Xun Yu himself has value, without the intervention of family power.

Next is a vote of second- and third-rate county-level families.

For example, the Han family of Han Hao, the Yin family of Yin Da, the Ruan family of Ruan Yu, the Jia family of Jia Xu, the Qian family of Qianzhao, the Guo family of Guoyuan and the Sun family of Sun Qian, etc. wait.

The commonality of these small and medium-sized families is that they have a certain influence in their hometowns, but mainly in the county. The influence overflows the county, and has a certain influence in the county, but it is not enough to overflow the county. State influence.

However, they can study, have the financial resources and channels for their children to study, have certain social connections, can get in touch with some famous scholars, and can do things like apprenticeship.

Although their family is said to be a family, there are not many outstanding clan members. One person can influence and represent a family, and he also needs to be responsible for the family. Family interests and personal interests are relatively unified.

They are also more concerned about the existence of the family and the interests of the family, and will not easily leave places where the family lives too far away, and will not choose forces that are too far away from the family to work for them.

It is the most wonderful thing to do less and pay more to be close to home.

What they can give Liu Bei and what they ask for is naturally incomparable with the big clan of the previous level. Liu Bei can handle them relatively easily and has a considerable degree of dominance over them.

Then there are the subordinates of Hanwei's background.

They basically only represent themselves, they have no family relationship, at most they can be regarded as family-level figures.

They are less sensitive to interests, care more about their own situation, don't mind running around with the people they identify, and don't have much attachment to their hometown.

Anyway, they didn't have any very good memories in their hometown.

Their families are not necessarily impoverished, they may also be well-to-do families in the local area, but they do not have channels and sufficient financial resources for them to study full-time and get in touch with famous scholars to receive education.

They often do not have the background of scholars, not even the background of third-rate scholars, or their families are in decline, and they have no titles of scholars, and they do not have the matching family power.

For example, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Pang De, Xu Huang, Dong Huang, Ma Teng, Yan Xing, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others.

They have no family power to provide Liu Bei with some local help. They only have their own talents and loyalty. Their main advancement is military merit, or following the boss, so that they can achieve a political leap.

They can't give Liu Bei anything, almost all rely on what Liu Bei gives them.

From this perspective, they are already the lowest born existence in the sequence of Liu Bei Group.

Further down are the general big soldiers and the general petty officials, almost completely relying on what Liu Bei provided them.

According to the different needs of these three levels of subordinates, Liu Bei can make accurate judgments, and then accurately deliver what they need according to their different needs, so as to consolidate the deep bond of interests between each other.

To be honest, this is not too difficult for Liu Bei.

Because these days, he can make too many cakes.
