I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 376 The Court's New Deal Pilot

In fact, the rapid quelling of the civil strife in Jizhou this time relied on the support of Youzhou.

According to the habitual thinking of most people, Youzhou has just been pacified, the chaos in Juchun has just come to an end, the civil war in Wuhuan is undecided, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and other fierce generals have just taken up their respective positions. For Liu Jian, It is when these people are used to drastically rebuild Youzhou, it is absolutely impossible to transfer Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to help Jizhou at this time.

But on the contrary, Liu Jian did the opposite, the more impossible things were, the more he would do them.

Of course, for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and others, Liu Jian can't let them lead the army back. Let's talk about the backbone family of the family.

A snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head. It is impossible for these forty or so families to be equal. At least in each area, there must be a family with a backbone among them. As long as the backbone is killed first , then the rest must be panic and loss of linkage, like a mess of loose sand.

Afterwards, Liu Jian took the time to clean them up slowly.

……

The news that Yuan Shu fell down the archery tower in Daying on the south bank of the Central Plains spread like wildfire, and all the counties in Henan and Hebei, whether they were high-ranking officials or Li Shu, soon knew about it.

The current Yuan Shu has become a joke in the hearts of the people of the world, a big joke.

Who would have thought that Yuan Feng's lineage has repeatedly produced heroes, like Yuan Ji and Yuan Shao are all heros of the time, why did such a thing as Yuan Shu come out?

Just like this bear, still thinking about dominating the Central Plains?
Liu Jian made people shout slogans on the other side of the river, scaring him and jumping off the building.

Can make people laugh to death.

Of course, Yuan Shu was only out of breath for a while, and there was nothing serious about it. After a few days of cultivation, he regained consciousness.

It's just that the rumors against him are spreading in the north, and they just want him to dig a hole in the ground.

This incident can be said to have caused fatal psychological trauma to Yuan Shu, and now he only thinks about how to get revenge on Liu Deran.

At the same time, news came from the Black Mountain Army that Cao Cao had broken his horns in Black Mountain and captured countless people from the Black Mountain Army.

These Black Mountain Army captured by Cao Cao, together with those captured last time, became an important guarantee for Cao Cao to expand his strength after some preparations by him.

Moreover, the victory of this battle also made Cao Cao famous.

Because the boss of the Black Mountain Army, Daqu Shuai Zhang Niujiao, was killed by Cao Cao.

This is no small feat.

Cao Cao is also very good at judging the situation, he secretly sent someone to report the matter to the court.

However, he did not report to Dong Zhuo, but through the eunuch's channel, he reported to Lu Qiang about his defeat of the Black Mountain Army.

Today's Lu Qiang has become the number one celebrity in front of Emperor Liu Bian and Empress Dowager He.

In order to be able to implement the new personnel policy and the new land policy, the emperor, Queen Mother He, Dong Zhuo, Lu Qiang...these people are on the same front.

It's just that there is too much resistance to this matter in the DPRK. Every time this matter is raised in the DPRK's discussion, a group of ministers look for death and life, shouting loudly, insisting on blood splashing on the spot.

Liu Bian saw that the courtiers reacted so strongly, he didn't dare to say anything, and wanted to delay the new deal.

The Empress Dowager He dared not to throw the table over at once.

But Dong Zhuo has run out of patience after several times of tossing by the court officials.

He has decided that before the end of the year, let the scholars who have turned to him implement all the implementation details and various possible situations of the New Deal, and then change the Yuan next year to completely implement the New Deal.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was in such a hurry, the Empress Dowager He, the Son of Heaven and others persuaded him one after another, but Dong Zhuo was stubborn and refused to give anyone's face.

This made the emperor, Queen Mother He and others hesitate.

It was at this time that Lu Qiang received a letter of meritorious service from Cao Cao.

In the letter, Cao Cao just stated that he defeated the Heishan bandit and killed Zhang Niujiao.

For the rest, he didn't say a word.

The moment he saw Cao Cao's letter, Lu Qiang fell silent.

He knew a little about this person.

Cao Cao's identity is very complicated, he is Yuan Shao's good friend, and he is very familiar with the Danggu nobles, but he is still an eunuch, and he will always be branded as an eunuch's son.

Although when he was young, he tried to get rid of the eunuch brand on himself, but after so many years, he has been unsuccessful.

As soon as Lu Qiang saw the name Cao Cao, the first reaction in his mind was still... This person is the same as me!

Lu Qiang thought about it seriously for a while, and then picked up the letter from Cao Cao.

The next day, Lu Qiang went to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager He and the Emperor, and gave them both Cao Cao's handwriting.

The emperor did not understand the deep meaning of it.

However, Empress Dowager He seemed to understand what Lu Qiang meant.

"Does Grandpa think this person is useful?"

Lu Qiang said respectfully: "It is said that Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's loyal subordinate, but the old slave does not think so. After Cao Cao became an eunuch, he tried his best to curry favor with Yuan Shao, became friends with him, and even willingly went through fire and water for him. The desire to change his identity is extremely strong, but he killed Zhang Niujiao this time, but instead of submitting the merits to Yuan Shao, he secretly sent the news to the old slave, what does His Majesty think?"

Empress Dowager He has been in court for a long time, and she is also good at political wisdom.

"Cao Cao intends to use meritorious service to get promoted and become independent?"

Lu Qiang nodded and said: "I heard that he has subdued a lot of refugees from Black Mountain this time, and he has been accumulating strength in Shanyang and Dongjun for these years. It seems that Cao Cao led Yuan Shu into the Central Plains. Extremely deep, maybe giving Cao Cao a fief can make him better for the imperial court, but what Yuan Shao gave him for so many years seems to be limited."

"But Cao Cao, what use is it to us?" Empress Dowager He asked puzzled.

"New Deal!"

Lu Qiang said: "The new policy that Xiangguo wants to establish will indeed be of great benefit to the great man, the world, and the imperial power. Even most of the poor families in the world, and some high-ranking families, will look forward to the court. After all, the new policy of the court will The old hierarchy is broken, giving those who want to move up a chance."

"However, Xiangguo's approach seems to be too hasty. The courtiers and ministers disagreed with the full implementation of the New Deal, and Xiangguo wanted to kill people. This is really not advisable. According to the old slave, the New Deal can be gradually implemented as a pilot. For example, Hebei, Guanzhong Or Xuzhou, Liangzhou, and several counties in Jiangdong to promote it first, and then gradually expand it according to the situation, this may be a good way.”

Empress Dowager He nodded and said: "Grandpa is mature and prudent, this is indeed a golden word."

"But, why do you have to choose Jiangdong, Xuzhou, Hebei, Guanzhong and other places to promote?"

Lu Qiang sighed: "Jing, the land of Yi is impossible. After all, it is controlled by the Yuan family. It is placed in Yan and Yu in the Central Plains. It has always been a place occupied by prominent scholars. Now it is even more dilapidated, and Yuan Shu is there. Is it difficult to advance, Sizhou is now relatively chaotic, and there are many famous families... It is better to implement it only in places where it can be promoted. Guanzhong is now the foundation of the imperial court. It has always been oppressed by the people of the Kanto, and most of the promotion channels in the officialdom are dominated by the Kanto scholars, and now the new policy, the majority of people west of Hangu Pass will definitely respond!"

"As for Hebei, it's no problem for the emperor to be in charge..."

"Now that Yuan Shu is in Yanzhou, according to this old slave, the key is whether there is anyone who can take his place in Yangzhou."
