People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 222 Controlling Three Places
After killing Zhou Hu, Li Yao established his own image. From now on, he will be a positive person, and no matter what he does, he will have his own halo.

Next, the positive character Li Yao will lead people to copy the evil, colluding bandits, and powerful families headed by the Zhang family.

boom! boom! boom!
In two or three strokes, the vermilion gate of the Zhang family was knocked open, and then a group of armored soldiers rushed in.

They are righteous, so naturally they don't kill or chop anyone they see, but after they broke into Zhang's house, they arrested people, smashed them, and robbed them of property, which can be said to be done in one go.

After all, they ransacked the house, and this was not a dinner party. Even if they put on a cloak of justice, they should be ruthless, and they should be ruthless.

Zhang Qing's face was full of anger, his eyes were red, even though he was pressed to the ground, he was still struggling, and sternly reprimanded:
"Stop, stop, you bandits, how dare you do this? What is my Zhang family guilty of? What is my Zhang family guilty of?"

At this moment, Li Yao walked in holding the knife, and heard Zhang Qing shouting, so he made a special trip to take a look:
"Screaming so fiercely, who is he?"

What Li Yao asked was not Zhang Qing, but the soldier who was holding him, and immediately the soldier said:
"General, this is the patriarch and patriarch of the Zhang family. The rest of the Zhang family have identified it. It was this person who suggested colluding with Zhou Hu and gathering people to cause chaos!"

general...

When Zhang Qing heard this, he stopped yelling, but quickly begged for mercy and said:
"General, please forgive me, General, please let me go, from now on... our Zhang family will be under your control!"

When Li Yao heard this, there was a hint of amusement in his eyes. It was too late to beg for mercy now. He didn't want to leave hidden dangers, so he said righteously:
"I let you go, then you ask those people who have been bullied by you, are they willing to let you go? And colluded with bandits, gathered a crowd to make trouble, dragged him outside, and executed him on the spot!"

The two soldiers did not hesitate, and Dang even responded loudly:
"Follow the order!"

After finishing speaking, the two dragged Zhang Qing away, and Zhang Qing was full of disbelief, struggling and wailing:
"General, spare my life, General, spare my life..."

Li Yao had no expression on his face. There are still many people to kill today. Zhang Qing is not the first, nor will he be the last.

Immediately, he continued to walk in, and when he found the person he was looking for, he asked:
"Zhao Zhun, how is the situation?"

This Zhao Zhun, about 27 or [-] years old, was also from the Zhao family. He was somewhat close to Li Yao, but not too close. He was one of the people who followed Li Yao this time.

Zhao Zhun was checking the account books one by one, and when he heard Li Yao's words, he immediately got up and responded with excitement on his face, which showed that he had gained a lot:

"General, Guanzhong is really rich. Even a tyrant in a county has this kind of family wealth. Five baht worth of gold and silver is worth more than 800 gold. If you count all kinds of treasures, brocades and silks, and some manors below, it is more than 3000 gold. By the way, according to the account books, they still have more than 3 stones.

Li Yao nodded in satisfaction, this was also one of his goals, to hurt others and enrich himself, and then said:

"This is just the Zhang family, and there are other families, as well as Lantian and Shang County. All the stolen goods and food will be collected in the military camp. As for the money, it will be divided into three parts. Five parts will be given to low-level soldiers, three parts will be given to generals at all levels, and the last [-] percent will be the money. There will also be criminal women from each family. Find the most beautiful among them, and send them to the Grand Master together..."

Zhao Zhun listened carefully, and was taken aback when he heard that Li Yao didn't keep any money, and he wanted to prepare a copy for Dong Zhuo, even if his reaction was a bit slow, he still understood at this time.

At this time, Li Yao continued:

"Pang De of Wuguan, and his soldiers, also need to send a copy. They are all brothers of our own family, so don't miss them!"

Zhao Zhun nodded quickly when he heard the words, and respected Li Yao even more:

"only!"

After finishing the business, Li Yao looked at Zhao Zhun and thought it over, and finally made up his mind:
"This magistrate of Shangluo County is not one of us. If you want to kill or replace him, you need the approval of the court. Therefore, I want you to be the magistrate of Shangluo County. Do you understand what to do?"

The Qin and Han Dynasties implemented the system of prefectures and counties. The prefects at the county level and the magistrates at the county level were all directly appointed by the imperial court.

At this time, Zhao Zhun's heart beat faster. As the county magistrate's deputy, the county magistrate was not considered a petty official at the level of officials, and according to Li Yao's intentions, he seemed to be the county magistrate, but in fact he was the county magistrate. As for the original county magistrate, it was just a decoration.

Zhao Zhun was very solemn, bowed his hands and said:
"understand!"

The corners of Li Yao's mouth turned up, he looked at Zhao Zhun and said with a smile:

"Choose some helpers from among your friends, and replace all the original county magistrates in this Shangluo. Don't be afraid of doing wrong things, but afraid of not doing things. I will take care of the accidents. You will do your best to make this Shangluo ours!"

Zhao Zhun seemed full of confidence. After they read books and gained more insight and knowledge, they were no longer willing to do nothing. What they lacked was only a platform, and finally said:
"Your Majesty must do his best!"

……

The Zhang family was just the beginning. Taking advantage of the bandit incident, Li Yao went on a rampage to eliminate dissidents in Shangluo, killing people and ransacking their homes. Those who were killed were all the direct lineage, and all the collateral lines were exiled to the army.

These offshoots, together with the captives, were all sent to the army, but they were not regarded as military households. Military households were allocated residences, land, farming at ordinary times, and training during slack farming. They would be the source of soldiers for the Chinese army in the future.

These collaterals, together with the captives, can be regarded as a kind of prisoner status. They are responsible for the main task of reclamation and do the heaviest work, but the food they will grow in the future has nothing to do with them.

Maybe some of them can be collected as military households in the future, but for more prisoners, after labor reform, as long as they perform well, they can be considered as civilians.

This kind of situation quickly spread from Shangluo to Lantian and Shang counties, where people usually kill people and ransack their homes, and it is very easy to lose popular support.

But this time it was different. Li Yao seized on the Bandit matter, expanded it, and forcibly distinguished the good from the bad.

With the people's support, Li Yao began to force the government to force people in, replaced all the county officials with people from Liangzhou, and directly emptied the three county magistrates.

In this way, Li Yao finally completely controlled Shang County, Shangluo, and Lantian. This time, Li Yao forced the powerful to make trouble and took the initiative. He not only controlled the three places, but also controlled the hearts of the people in the three places.
