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

Chapter 400 Do you want to hold power standing up? !
Liquidating the Jizhou family is not the ultimate goal, but seizing the power in their hands is the ultimate goal.

Therefore, after confiscating and exterminating most of the Jizhou aristocratic families, Li Yao quickly took action, notifying the prefects and county magistrates, counting the household registrations, measuring the fields, especially gathering the tenants, servants, fields, and houses that were originally controlled by the aristocratic families...

The so-called power all comes from the power of the people. Only by closely uniting producers and the means of production and allowing them to generate value in the labor process can an organization or a political power be maintained for a long time by redistributing this value. The essential.

Throughout the dynasties, from the nobles, to the aristocratic families, to the powerful, and then to the gentry, they are all an important part of the dynasty's organization of the people and the cohesion of the people's power. They are indispensable, so they can exist for a long time.

But indispensable is indispensable, and it is not said that it cannot be replaced.

Under Li Yao's arrangement, a large number of meritorious soldiers from the Central Army, the Left and Right Cavalry, and the farming system were either older, physically disabled, or no longer wanted to fight... quit the army, and changed their military status to Citizenship, put them in the local area to serve as Lizheng, pavilion chief, three elders in the village, rank, stingy, and free.

These low-level officials who directly face the people can take on the role if they are educated or uneducated. The key is to be able to control the people, deal with some neighborhood disputes, and solve thieves or wild animals that harm the people.

The initial grassroots officials were basically prestigious elders in the village, but they gradually became the pawns of the powerful and powerful. The government needed their assistance in collecting taxes and collecting corvees.

Chaos is certain. The aristocratic family that originally controlled the local power and separated the government and the people suddenly disappeared. It must be a troublesome and cumbersome thing to re-establish the link between the government and the people.

And this is not a county, nor a county, but an entire state. As Jizhou is one of the best in the entire Han Dynasty, with the North China Plain as a granary, even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the destruction of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, there are at least a few Millions of people.

It is not an easy matter to handle it properly. In order to solve this problem, Li Yao used a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in one hand. The big stick is to deter the army, and the sweet dates are to give money and food, and divide houses and land.

After killing so many people and confiscating so many houses, the gold and silver treasures, silk and satin, jade, porcelain, grain, livestock... are all astronomical figures.

……

Yingchuan, Xu County!
Cao Cao also looked shocked. He didn't expect that Li Yao was really daring. He ransacked his family and exiled him to Liaodong. He didn't choose one or two families to make an example of them.

In the past, the imperial court engaged in a party-related disaster and drove out some of the people who formed small groups, formed cliques for personal gain, and ignored the emperor. This had already offended the scholars in Guandong.

Now Li Yao is even more ruthless. Could it be that he wants to cut himself off from the Guandong scholars? Without the support of the Guandong scholars, the imperial court will always be half the imperial court, and the world will always be half the world.

Cao Cao didn't understand, and was greatly shocked. Although he occasionally killed some famous people, it was still very taboo to kill aristocratic families on such a large scale.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia were equally surprised at this moment. Logically speaking, Li Yao had already fallen into their trap, and the liquidation of the family would inevitably make him unpopular in Kanto.

But Li Yao doesn't seem to care. Is he stupid?A fool can take away three-quarters of the world!
If Li Yao, who can take away three-quarters of the world, is a fool, then who are they...

But Li Yao did everything, and the situation was very favorable for them.

Guo Jia said solemnly:

"Li Yao has fought all his life and has never been defeated. This time, he has completely wiped out the border troubles in the northern border. Even I can't help admiring him. He must be extremely proud, complacent, and think highly of himself... "

"The aristocratic family in Jizhou was not as he wished, so he completely eradicated the aristocratic family in Jizhou, just like the Qin Emperor back then, the heart of a single husband became more and more arrogant..."

"But this world belongs to the people of the world, not to him alone. If he is so tyrannical, if he acts like a beast, he will be cast aside by others. Our chance has come..."

"Duke Ming, Wen Ruo, immediately invite the representatives of the aristocratic family, celebrities and scholars to criticize Li Yao's atrocities, especially in Qingxu and Xuzhou. The local big families all miss Liu Bei. We can take this opportunity to let them change their memory of Liu Bei. Cheng's fear of Li Yao made them lean towards Duke Ming, support Duke Ming, and support Duke Ming!"

Xun Yu also nodded and said:
"Feng Xiao is right. Li Yao is powerful. Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou are all places rich in cavalry. Originally, there were Xianbei, Gongsun Zan, Wuhuan, and Gongsundu, which involved Li Yao's rear..."

"Now that Li Yao has no future troubles, his temperament is inflated, he is conceited, and he thinks he can control the world, so he starts to act recklessly, but he doesn't know that he can't control the hearts of the world, he will only kill himself..."

"As long as Duke Ming conforms to the people's hearts, he will definitely be able to eliminate harm for the big man and eradicate traitors for the world!"

Xun Yu was also afraid that Cao Cao would lose confidence, just like Xiao He and Zhang Liang, he encouraged Cao Cao and cheered for Cao Cao.

The Xun Yu family has already settled down, and his eldest nephew is under Li Yao, so there is no need to worry about the future of the Xun family. He only needs to pursue his dream, help the Han family, and save the common people. Cao Cao is his chosen spokesperson.

Cao Cao himself is a man with a tough mind. Although Li Yao occupied Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Yizhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, he only occupied Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, but he didn't panic at all...

Well, I'm still a little flustered.

At this moment, any news that is not good for Li Yao is great news for him.

Cao Cao listened to the opinions of the two, and said solemnly:

"Li Yao is cruel and tyrannical. Compared with Dong Zhuo back then, he is not in the same league. Just do as you say. If this thief is not eliminated, we will definitely kill him. By then, the Han Dynasty will be dead. !"

……

After that day, Cao Cao severely criticized Li Yao, calling him cruel and cruel, and he was actually Dong Zhuo's second.

Suddenly, countless people from Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou responded, scholars rushed for it, and great talents came to seek refuge.

Cao Cao, who was obviously not very popular in Kanto, was treated like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu at this time.

In fact, what Li Yao did was too scary. He often ransacked homes and exterminated clans, massacring everyone...

In fact, the aristocratic families of Jizhou have some understanding of the things that the aristocratic families in Jizhou have done. Either they turned some untouchables into family tenants, or they took some untouchables' fields into the hands of the family.

There is nothing to investigate, who is not a parent, and who does not want to leave a little property for their children.

For Li Yao, everyone in the aristocratic family now hates it to the bone. If you want to gain power, as long as you kneel down, we can discuss it. If you want to stand up, you can control the power. How can it be so easy.
