That afternoon, Tian Feng came to Yuan Shu with a pile of information.

"Lord, this is the situation of each county in Jingzhou and the list of officials in each place."

Tian Feng's tone was a little low. Yuan Shu looked at the face that was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He quickly sat upright, took the information in Tian Feng's hand and looked through it.

Just after he glanced at the information about officials from various places in Jingzhou, Yuan Shu's face became as gloomy as Tian Feng's.

Throwing the information in his hand on the table, Yuan Shu stroked his forehead and asked helplessly and tiredly: "Yuan Hao, what do you think?"

Tian Feng took a deep breath and calmed down his mood: "Lord, these officials must be re-examined and arranged, and it is best to remove some of them."

At the end of the sentence, Tian Feng reluctantly put away what he wanted to say.

Yuan Shu looked at Tian Feng's aggrieved and angry look and knew that what he just wanted to say was definitely not to remove him, but to kill him.

However, the overall situation is more important, and Yuan Shu can only sigh: "Yuan Hao, where did this information come from? Is it reliable?"

Tian Feng said expressionlessly: "This is what Fengxiao and some businessmen reported. They are all true and have evidence."

Yuan Shu stood up slowly, took the information and walked to a stove, threw the information into the stove, and watched with stern eyes as the information was swallowed up by the flames.

Quietly watching this information turn into a pile of ashes, Yuan Shu said calmly: "Yuan Hao, just forget this information! Say goodbye to the past, and from now on, inform all officials in Jingzhou that everything in the past will be forgotten, and no one will be corrupt and bend the law in the future.

, they will all be severely punished. If they don’t have the foresight and get killed by me, don’t blame me for not reminding them!”

"In addition, these officials will be strictly reviewed. I only need to keep 60%, and the rest will be selected from poor families just like Yangzhou before."

Tian Feng nodded, but still said with some worry: "My lord, although this can improve the situation a little, it may still be difficult to solve the problem of officials' corruption and perversion of the law. After all, the entire Jingzhou has to be managed by aristocratic families, and it is their territory.

No matter how strict our investigation is, if they still fight softly together and cover each other, do we still have to compromise?"

"Of course not. It didn't matter that Jingzhou was not under my jurisdiction before. Now that everything has started again, if they still dare to do this, I will kill them even if they mess up Jingzhou. This is a matter of principle, otherwise how can I do it?

Can you control the Yangzhou family?"

Yuan Shu had a sinister look on his face. If the Jingzhou family behaved so randomly, the Yangzhou family would definitely be unbalanced. How would he manage it then? Yangzhou had finally reached the situation it was in today, and there was absolutely no room for any problems.

"My lord, why don't we change the positions of the officials of the Yangzhou family and the Jingzhou family, and then stir up conflicts between the two sides? This way they can supervise and criticize each other, and we can also avoid collusion between local forces and officials, and we should be able to initially solve this problem.

"Tian Feng came here not just to complain to Yuan Shu, but he was well prepared.

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up: "Yuan Hao, you have a good idea, just do it. Even if the Jingzhou family is monolithic, the Yangzhou family has little contact with them. As long as it is done properly, it can maintain stability for at least a few years."

"But lord, we'd better provoke a deeper conflict between the two parties to ensure that they don't work together. How about lord throw out another bait? For example, a fiefdom!" Tian Feng's eyes flashed.

The Yizhou fiefdom has always been something Yuan Shu was very proud of. Yuan Shu's method instantly changed the overall situation of Yangzhou, tying the interests of the Yangzhou family to Yuan Shu, and it was of great benefit to both parties. It was perfect.

.

Tian Feng and others also got a lot of inspiration from this method. Now the problem of fiefdom has become the weakness of the families under Yuan Shu's command. It seems that all the problems of the families can be solved from fiefdom.

For example, the cooperation and surrender of the Jingzhou family this time, and even their non-resistance to Yuan Shu's intention to completely control Jingzhou, was all because of the fiefdom promised by Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Yuan Hao, what you said makes sense. Next, you will inform the aristocratic families that I will release another fiefdom in half a year. And it will be larger than what the Yangzhou aristocratic families received last time.

It will be twice as big, and I will give this fiefdom to the Jingzhou family and the Yangzhou family."

"Among them, Jingzhou Family accounts for 50%. The remaining 50% depends on the performance of both parties during this period. The distribution will be based on the development of the office and the mistakes made under the management of both parties. The specific details are up to you.

control."

Yuan Shu arranged this for the sake of balance. The number and power of Jingzhou's aristocratic families is about twice that of Yangzhou's. It would not be good if the two families competed on a completely fair basis. It would be too unfair to the Jingzhou aristocratic families.

The first 50% of the fiefdom given to the Jingzhou family was just right. It not only met their basic needs, but also made them feel that it was too little and aroused their greed. It also did not make the Yangzhou family feel unfair. After all, they were the first batch to follow.

A person with Yuan Shu.

The Jingzhou family is definitely ready to make a move. Not to mention the Yangzhou family, they have actually devoured a piece of meat, and now the fragrance is still lingering in the corners of their mouths, and they cannot refuse this temptation.

Yuan Shu didn't believe that with such a foundation of eternity placed in front of them, they could still form an alliance for the sake of a little immediate benefit?

Jingzhou will end up in the same situation as Yangzhou. Yuan Shu will never allow the aristocratic family to control Jingzhou. This is what the Jingzhou aristocratic family knows in their hearts.

They are just waiting for a price to sell, increasing the trouble for Yuan Shu to control Jingzhou to increase their worth and their own importance, so as to get more benefits from Yuan Shu in the future. And they can make a final raid along the way, after all, there will be more later

Although Jingzhou is still under the management of the aristocratic family, it is definitely no longer under their control.

Before handing over the control of Jingzhou in exchange for the fiefdom, they wanted to squeeze out some profits. After all, if they don't do this, other aristocratic families will probably do the same. Human nature is selfish like this.

Just like everyone thinks that there are a lot of trolls on the Internet, one more is not more, and one less is not more. Therefore, while some people hate trolls, they often become one of them. Because they think that even if they don’t troll

, there are still others who complain, so instead of being upset, it is better to vent yourself.

Anyway, what you do has little impact on this general environment. What's wrong with venting occasionally? It is because of this mentality that many people become accomplices of online violence, and then get out of control. Jingzhou Family

This is the same mentality.

Yuan Shu knew that he could not manage it alone, so he took out a large amount of money and told everyone that the money would be divided equally among them, and everyone would have a share. And every time you find a troll, you will

Give you half of his share.

As long as the money is large enough and attractive enough to these people, this situation will be quickly contained.

Of course, this is only a temporary measure. The most important thing is to improve the moral quality of everyone, that is, to reduce the greed of officials and aristocratic families.

But even until modern times, this is a difficult problem to solve, because everyone has selfish motives, and there are really few people like Tian Feng who are strong and capable without desires.

All Yuan Shu can do is to introduce more talents from disadvantaged families and maintain a fairer competitive environment. Increasing competition among them will change the status of the aristocratic families from monopolies to outstanding ones.

The advantages held by the aristocratic families are too great. With abundant resources and training since childhood, no matter what Yuan Shu does, they will always be the superior ones in the competition. Even if Yuan Shu kills a group of aristocratic families, there will still be a group of poor families who will become aristocratic families, endlessly.
