I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 208 Lord Qingtian!

Regarding this wave of "fighting the rich", Yuan Shu went straight into a frenzy, madly drawing circles on the lists of many eunuchs' industries.

I'm chasing my dream of the entertainment industry...

He drew circles frantically, and circled out 27 eunuch economic parks in Jizhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and claimed all the land, population and industrial chain inside as his own.

He also transferred six large eunuch economic parks in Sanhe to his own name, which also became his property.

There are a total of 33 economic parks, the smallest of which covers 66 hectares and the largest covers more than 300 hectares.

Yuan Shu planned to build them all into good villages, and turn these thirty-three good villages into the foundation for his own world domination, so as to sweep the world and let the flowers of conscience bloom throughout the Han Empire.

In addition to these more distant economic parks, Yuan Shu also took away two-fifths of the cash wealth owned by the eunuchs in Luoyang City.

This is also an astronomical figure, not only money, but also countless treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade and so on.

Yuan Shu had no idea how these bastards had accumulated so much wealth, and how many people had worked hard to help them plunder its wealth.

After a series of cunning and plundering, Yuan Shu suddenly became one of the top figures on the Han Dynasty's wealth list of that era. At the same time, his father Yuan Feng also became a richer figure than him.

Overall, Yuan Shu took away two-fifths of the eunuchs' property.

Of the remaining three-fifths, Yuan Feng took two-fifths and placed them under the control of himself and the Yuan family of Runan.

There was still one fifth left, and Yuan Feng and Yuan Shu discussed how to use it to reward and distribute profits and win people's hearts.

In everything, it is important to treat everyone equally. It does not matter how much is given, but whether the action itself exists. Some people do not need a lot of wealth, but an attitude like Yuan.

As long as the Yuan family still pays attention to sharing the benefits equally and does not monopolize all the benefits, they will feel relieved.

Without a doubt, Yuan Shu became the biggest beneficiary again.

Because the two-fifths he got were basically at his own disposal, he could use them at will. He could invest all of the wealth in the construction and development of Liangzhuang, and then digest it into a part of his own, laying the foundation for his future career.

Out of love and compensation for Yuan Shu, Yuan Feng took on the part of the expenses that Yuan Shu was supposed to use to reward his subordinates. He used part of the money from his side to help Yuan Shu reward his Yi Xin Hui Group for their contributions.

Yuan Shu ate and took a lot, and became very fat and strong, which made Yuan Feng smile bitterly and call his son a rare "corrupt official" in the world.

Yuan Shu firmly refuted this.

He took bribes not for himself, but for the entire Liangzhuang.

Although he received the highest salary, it was all according to the rules of Liangzhuang. No one cared about and abided by the rules he set more than him, so these two-fifths of the wealth basically all belonged to the Liangzhuang public account and were used for public expenditures.

He would never keep it all for himself and use it for his own luxurious enjoyment.

How can this be called a corrupt official?

This is clearly a great official who is devoting himself to the public!

After dividing up most of the profits from the eunuchs' property, Yuan Shu began to target the local official positions occupied by the eunuchs' cronies.

In order to strengthen their own political power, the eunuchs placed many of their own people in positions from the central government to the local levels.

There are many eunuchs' cronies in the central Secretariat and even in the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers' Offices. There are also many local governors, prefects, and county magistrates. These positions are also held by eunuchs' cronies, serving as local tools for eunuchs to plunder wealth and realize their ambitions.

During this liquidation, these people will also be cleared out, leaving a considerable number of job vacancies.

As for this political benefit, Yuan Shu did not have such a big quota. He could forget about getting two-fifths. He barely earned one-third, and the remaining two-thirds were taken by Yuan Feng to strengthen his strength and win people's hearts.

Yuan Shu could only give one-third of the low- and middle-level positions to his subordinates.

In the final analysis, their qualifications were too shallow, and they were promoted to high positions suddenly, which was too eye-catching, and this was not what Yuan Feng wanted to see. However, this also had its advantages, at least most of the county-level positions fell under the control of Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu could freely place all the talented people around him as grassroots officials in the local area, so that they could gain experience and growth, which would also be more conducive to the development of the Yi Xin Society's power.

For example, the county magistrates and county heads of the thirty-three future Liangzhuang sites were all captured by Yuan Shu, and some of them were also captured along with the county secretaries and county lieutenants.

The most important official positions were packaged and handed over to his own people, who would protect and support the development of their own industries. Yuan Shu was very willing to believe that these economic parks would be developed into qualified villages by him within the next three years, and would start to operate and demonstrate their power.

Then there were the county-level positions in the Sanfu area, Qingzhou and Jizhou. Some of the more valuable county-level positions were valued by Yuan Shu, and he got quite a few of them. He also got a small number in Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

In this way, Yuan Shu's more than 300 core subordinates, including the outstanding cadres of the entire Yi Xin Society, basically have a place to go. Even considering the construction of 33 new Liangzhuangs, the manpower may still be a little tight.

Because the thirty-three new villages also need manpower to manage, build and develop.

There are only more than 7,000 people in the Yi Xin Society. They have to serve as officials, arrange personnel to manage and build Liangzhuang, and cooperate with Yuan Shu to complete a series of subsequent plans.

Yuan Shu himself felt that he was overwhelmed.

But no matter what, after this operation, the power of Yuan Shu and his Yi Xin Hui has achieved unprecedented huge growth. For a long time in the future, they don’t have to worry about having nothing to do. They only need to worry about having too many things to do, and don’t have to worry about having no place to use their talents.

Yuan Shu's promise to them will also be fulfilled, and the interests between them will be more firmly bound together and cannot be separated. Whoever wants to separate it will pay a price in blood.

Yuan Feng basically agreed to Yuan Shu's series of requests. If there were good things, he would let Yuan Shu choose first, and then take them himself. His fatherly love was beyond words and had never changed.

However, Yuan Shu was not sure what Yuan Feng thought about the considerations he proposed about the future.

He habitually anticipated his enemies and thought of many problems.

Yuan Shu did not hold back when speaking to Yuan Feng and was very frank. He even accepted King Wen of Zhou's metaphor, thus explaining his own goals and ambitions.

In response, Yuan Feng simply told him to "do it", his words were short but meaningful.

What does it mean?

Yuan Shu pondered in his heart that his father's attitude seemed a little vague, neither clear support nor direct opposition.

Does Yuan Feng have similar thoughts in his mind?

Is he also planning something in secret but hasn't said it clearly yet?

Also, what does Yuan Feng think about Yuan Ji and Yuan Shao?
Yuan Shao is now in Luoyang. He has just become a palace attendant. Before he has had time to complete his internship period, his immediate superior has been replaced.

But this is not important, because Yuan Shao is the heir of Yuan Cheng, and Yuan Feng's branch is the current main branch of the Yuan family. Therefore, according to such patriarchal rules, he has no right to inherit the Yuan family's foundation.

He can be excluded.

The key is Yuan Ji.

This elder brother who had always been wary of Yuan Shu was Yuan Feng's eldest son and the future heir to the main line of the Runan Yuan family. With his patriarchal advantage, Yuan Shu could not challenge him. What's more, Yuan Shu was planning to set up his own family. Didn't this mean that he no longer had the power to compete with Yuan Ji from a patriarchal perspective?
After all, the nominal leader of this mutiny is Yuan Feng, and the main power also belongs to Yuan Feng, and Yuan Ji is Yuan Feng's unshakable successor. If I do this, wouldn't it be a bit like paving the way for Yuan Ji?
He could accept Yuan Feng's leadership of the government because they were father and son and had a deep affection for each other.

But Yuan Ji couldn't do that.

There is no brotherly relationship between him and Yuan Ji. They are just ordinary strangers, not even acquaintances. If one day Yuan Ji suddenly becomes the overlord of Luoyang by relying on his patriarchal advantage and wants to steal the fruits of Yuan Shu's victory, Yuan Shu will never be able to accept it.

Even if Yuan Shu accepted it, the elite soldiers and generals under his command would not be able to accept it.

In order to avoid a quarrel between the brothers, Yuan Shu felt that he needed to explain everything to Yuan Feng as soon as possible to avoid a tragedy.

So, Yuan Shu and Yuan Feng chose a free time and had an in-depth father-son conversation in the side hall of Deyang Palace.
