Yuan Shu estimated that with this decree, at least 60% of the land in the hands of the aristocratic families would be willingly donated by them. Moreover, Yizhou would be no less developed than the current Lujiang within three years at most.

Recruiting refugees is too slow. It only took half a year to recruit 200,000 people. It is a bit difficult to fill the hole in Yangzhou. If we want to develop Yizhou, we will probably have to wait a few more years.

But there are people in the Jiangdong family! With the connections of these people, they really made up their minds and recruited 200,000 people in two months just to play with them.

The Tianxia family is one family. Even though Jiangdong is located in a corner, the Jiangdong family's network of relationships is extraordinary and spreads all over the country. Yuan Shu has difficulty recruiting people because he is boycotted by the family and the princes as a whole, which infringes on their interests.

And these aristocratic families want to recruit people, and relying on their intricate relationships, they can easily fill Yizhou with a little concession of benefits.

How did these troubled times come about? Isn’t it because there are too many people and not enough land? It’s hard to get money and food, but it’s not easy to get people?

These aristocratic families in Yangzhou have all made a lot of money this year, and the most indispensable thing is money and food. Although Yuan Shu has taken over a lot of their gangsters and slaves, they are still growing very fast. This is because other aristocratic families are short of money.

Money, food, and population were all over the place. They happened to hit it off with the Yangzhou family, and the Yangzhou family bought nearly 100,000 people so easily. This was because they were worried about Yuan Shu settling accounts and restrained themselves.

Yuan Shu had long discovered the problem of the Yangzhou family's population explosion, but he always turned a blind eye. Anyway, in the end this piece of meat would rot in his own pot, wouldn't it be useful now?

Use the people that the aristocratic families have worked so hard to recruit to fill the hole in Yizhou, and let the aristocratic families help them build Yizhou. Yuan Shu's calculations are very precise, but these aristocratic families are still willing to accept it. Everyone gets what they need!

Yuan Shu was also happy about this. As for the problem of the aristocratic families becoming bigger in a few decades, if Yuan Shu unified the world, wouldn't it be great to give places like the Western Regions, America, Africa, and Australia to these aristocratic families? Yuan Shu would not be able to control these places anyway.

, it is better to leave it to your own people than to leave it to outsiders.

Of course, this is just Yuan Shu's fantasy. Now let's consider how to defeat Jingzhou first.

Just as Yuan Shu thought, as soon as the decree was issued, the entire Yangzhou family became commotion. All the heads of the family received the news immediately and gathered together to discuss it.

As the leaders, the three families of Lu, Gu and Zhu naturally make the decision, and the other families are just their foils. Now, except for these three families, the remaining eleven families in Yangzhou have a close relationship with these three families. Those who are disobedient

Yes, all those with bad ideas were taken care of by these three companies. Eliminating dissidents can still make a good sale for Yuan Shu. Who wouldn't want to?

Lu Kang touched the letter in his hand, looked at Gu Ming who was drinking tea on both sides, and Zhu Lang who had his eyes closed in thought, and cursed in his heart: These two old foxes have to let themselves stand out.

"Ahem, let's talk about it, everyone, what should we do about this matter?"

"Mr. Ji Ning, you are a highly respected person, but you still need to make up your mind on this matter. How can we interrupt at will?"

Looking at Gu Ming's wretched face when he said this, Lu Kang really wanted to slap him.

Let me make the decision? Let me make the decision. Can I take away one-third of the fief? Are you trying to force me to bow my head first? It’s shameless!

In the face of family interests, these highly respected patriarchs are all faceless, and they can do anything. It's okay if they give in to some benefits, but this is a fiefdom! How can there be any concessions to a century-old foundation?

Although Lu Kang was suffocating in his heart now, he almost couldn't help but want to lift the table and say that everyone should rely on their own abilities. Anyway, his Lu family has the most land, and the other aristocratic families combined only have twice as much land as his, so they will not lose anything.

.

This group of people also knows this. If they fight hard, the Lu family will definitely take advantage, so they collectively put pressure on them. After all, the fiefdom is so big, we can’t let the Lu family just come up and take away one third! Will they survive?

?

Lu Kang knew that if he said this, the gangsters in the audience would definitely fall out with him and fight for their family wealth. After all, although land sales are not allowed now, there is no problem for these families to pay high prices to recruit peripheral personnel, right?

Rules are dead, but people come up with solutions. These lands cannot be bought or sold, but it is possible to bring these people under your control at a high price and then donate the land! Although this will cost a lot of money, but if it is

When it comes to fiefdom issues, these aristocratic families are really capable.

This is also a small pit that Yuan Shu and his counselors secretly dug for these big families. It is better to have small and numerous families. If three families are the only one, Yuan Shu will be worried.

These small aristocratic families also understand this, but they have to fight for the fiefdom. After all, although they may be very different from the Lu family when it comes to talents and background, they are really not that far apart when it comes to financial resources. At worst, they can look down and find some businessmen to give them money.

With these benefits, they are not poorer than themselves.

Therefore, the Lu family does not dare to fight head-on now. In this case, it will be endless. Both sides will suffer. In the end, the only ones who can benefit are Yuan Shu and the people. If they really do this, it is estimated that the entire Yangzhou land will be taken over by Yuan Shu.

Then Yuan Shu is still not happy?

Taking a deep breath, Lu Kang secretly used the spiritual victory method and beat Gu Ming and Zhu Lang hard in his heart. Then he calmed down and said slowly: "This time the fiefdom issue, my Lu family only

We will provide about 30% of the land, totaling 150,000 hectares, and require 25% of the fiefdom."

In line with the mentality that if you don't make it easy for me, I will make it uncomfortable for you, Lu Kang stuck a limit and asked for 25% of the fiefdom. He gave 30% of the land, and other aristocratic families had to give at least half.

Lu Kang finally figured out that Yuan Shu wanted to take away the land of the family in Yangzhou bit by bit and take all the land in Yangzhou into his hands. If he released such a big cake this time, the family would definitely not be able to do it without some blood.

Gu Ming, Zhu Lang and others made some calculations in their minds, and finally nodded when they saw Lu Kang's expression that he would die if he didn't agree.

"Then let's do it according to Lord Jining!"

"My Gu family wants 18%."

"My Zhu family wants 17%."

"My Kou family wants six points."

"No, your family can only get five points at most!"

"that is."

"Five points is impossible, at least five points and seven!"

...

The three giants set the tone and after dividing the land proportionally, these small aristocratic families began to fight for the remaining shares one by one. The scene instantly turned into a vegetable market, with the heads of the usually aloof families fighting for

The dispute over every penny was so intense that many impulsive people even started fighting. Lu Kang and the other three had to coordinate and arbitrate.

After two hours of quarreling, the tone was basically set. The shares of each family were divided down to less than a millimeter, what about four-quarters, seven-six, three-quarters, four-two. If this scene were to be divided by the juniors of these families,

Seeing this, I will definitely doubt my life. Is this still the majestic and steady leader of my clan?

After several discussions, they were redistributed because many people were dissatisfied. Finally, these families revealed all their family backgrounds, and only then did they find out who was strong and who was weak, and who was hiding deeper.
