Yuan Shu could only sigh again, there is nothing he can do about his good life!

However, the army under his command is not bad. He can use his talents to eliminate the miscellaneous soldiers and soldiers with bad intentions. The entire army is completely under his control.

But facing the entire Yangzhou and so many officials, Yuan Shu felt a headache.

Seeing that 60% of His Highness's nearly 10,000 scholars have light yellow halos on their heads, they are obviously dissatisfied with themselves.

The halos on 20% of the heads were directly red, and Yuan Shu suddenly felt a pain in his balls.

When he thought about the hundreds of servants in his general's mansion, thirty or forty of them had no good intentions. They were obviously spies brought in by other aristocratic families. Yuan Shu felt that he was really helpless towards these aristocratic families.

It seems that he has really made all Jiangdong's aristocratic families somewhat dissatisfied.

Fortunately, the spies in the family can be kicked out, or they can be monitored secretly.

But facing 80% of the officials who were dissatisfied, Yuan Shu really didn't know what to do.

Obviously, these people cannot be dismissed, otherwise the whole Jiangdong will be in chaos.

However, if these people are allowed to manage Jiangdong, who knows who is in charge of Jiangdong?

He is giving orders from above, and a group of people below him obey and disobey them. No matter how powerful the monarch is, there is nothing he can do about it.

Yuan Shu just felt tired. Forget it, just take it slow and slow!

So Yuan Shu screened and rated these people one by one and divided them into six categories.

There are three types of people, one with a good attitude, one with a bad attitude, and one who is hostile to themselves.

They are further divided into those with talent and those with average talent.

After all, these are officials who have been screened, and at least there won't be any bad ones.

Yuan Shu, who had a few mediocre talents and was just trying to make up for his mistakes, was also kicked out.

All of these people are hostile to me.

Let Gu Yong reassign these people to work respectively.

Important positions should be filled by those with good attitudes and talents, and others should be pushed down.

It has to be said that the aristocratic family has a lot of talents, and there are also many great talents.

Like this Gu Yong, he is really not a person who has gained a reputation in vain, and he has extremely strong internal affairs abilities.

And he seems to have a talent for discovering people's strengths.

It is different from Yuan Shu's screening of other people's qualifications and general abilities.

What Gu Yong is good at is discovering people's subtle strengths, such as being good at handling cases, good at arithmetic, etc.

This allows him to assign tasks to his people that are very suitable for them, and their talents will not be wasted at all.

Now Yuan Shu still lacks backbone talents, so he can only make do with it.

However, this matter is coming soon. Yuan Shu's recruitment list has also been sent out. In the past few days, he has gradually accepted some children from poor families, and they will be evaluated again before they can take office.

Yuan Shu now really feels that everything is waiting for improvement, and there are so many things to do.

There were so many management talents needed in one state that Yuan Shu felt that even his five top counselors could not handle it.

There is no way, if Yuan Shu accepts the support of the family, he can hold the entire Yangzhou in his hands in a short time.

But it is easy to get these aristocratic families on board, but it is difficult to get off the ship.

Therefore, Yuan Shu could only start hard and fill in the gaps bit by bit.

Yuan Shu's goal was huge, and he could not leave himself with a huge weakness just because of convenience, so he could only choose to take this difficult path.

Fortunately, the world is not in chaos at this time, and no princes have come to attack me. I estimate that I can still grow safely for another year.

Soon, with the advancement of Yuan Shu's many policies, Yangzhou slowly got on the right track.

Looking at the rising population and the children from poor families who came to seek refuge one after another, Yuan Shu felt infinite hope.

Two months later, the entire Yangzhou was basically renewed and exuded with vitality.

Nearly a million new people arrived, and under the guidance of the government, they took advantage of the end of autumn plowing to cultivate new fields.

There is a lot of wasteland that can be reclaimed in the Jiangdong area. In fact, there is no shortage of land at all.

In the past, it was just because of the selfishness of the aristocratic families, because the more fields they had, the less valuable they were. How could the aristocratic families still control Yangzhou?

Therefore, under the policies of Yangzhou officials led by them, the wasteland reclaimed by the people did not belong to them, but to the government, which then sold these lands to aristocratic families at low prices.

In this case, who would be willing to cultivate wasteland?

How could Jiangdong, a historical granary and a land of plenty, only have such a small amount of land?

Now that Yuan Shu is here, with his thunderous methods, local snakes like the big families don't dare to easily fight against this dragon crossing the river.

What's more, Yuan Shu is not a reckless person. The Gu family and the Zhu family have some subtle thoughts under Yuan Shu's win over.

Although they saw Yuan Shu's plan, the two families had to move closer to Yuan Shu under Yuan Shu's conspiracy.

After all, people have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. These people knew that Yuan Shu, who came from a top family, had many elite soldiers and generals, and was extremely ambitious, was not a weak person, so they also wanted to get closer.

After all, now that troubled times are approaching, the aristocratic family is no longer the existence that can call the shots at will. Without the leadership of a hero, it will be difficult for the aristocratic family to achieve anything.

Although Yuan Shu has a bit of a domineering personality, he also has the qualities to be a hero. Coupled with his status as the legitimate son of the Yuan family, these aristocratic families are also very optimistic about Yuan Shu.

Now the military power of the entire Jiangdong is under the control of Yuan Shu. Even if all the aristocratic families combine, they cannot defeat Yuan Shu. At most, they will be defeated and Yangzhou will be in a mess.

But don’t forget, it’s not yet troubled times, and the Yuan family hasn’t fallen yet!

I'm really worried. If Yuan Shu pulls out a small part of the Yuan family in Yuzhou to develop in Yangzhou, then these aristocratic families won't know where to cry.

Don't underestimate the shame of the Yuan family. Troubled times are coming. If not for Yuan Shu's strong opposition, the old Yuan family would have gone to Jiangdong to grab food.

Therefore, these Jiangdong aristocratic families are now very embarrassed. They can't stand upright, and even the softest knives they are good at can't hurt the other party. If they don't tell them, they will hurt themselves.

There is no choice but to compromise.

Fortunately, Yuan Shu did not go too far. He did not settle old scores and confiscated the land. Although there were fewer children of aristocratic families among the officials in Jiangdong than before, they still accounted for 60%.

Yuan Shu ordered these aristocratic families to hand over their illegal household registrations, and these people wisely took out two yuan to settle the deal. Yuan Shu also tacitly agreed and did not continue to pursue the case.

As a result, although the current relationship between the Jiangdong family and Yuan Shu is somewhat cold and even hostile, it maintains a delicate balance.

Naturally, the Gu family and the Zhu family want to tread two different boats. On the one hand, they stand firmly on the side of the family, but on the other hand, they will never oppose Yuan Shu.

What these old foxes are best at is speculating on both sides and being a fool. In any case, whoever wins in the end will not suffer too much. At most, he will suffer some flesh and blood.

Yuan Shu was not only not angry about this, but also very happy.

This situation is the best, as long as it doesn't hinder him. Besides, if these two families really join Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu will still have some headaches.

If he accepts it, Yuan Shu's original intention is to weaken them, but he can't bring them new benefits for the time being, which makes it very embarrassing. He can't give these aristocratic families more official positions, right?

If you don't accept it, the two parties will probably fall out, and the other party will no longer tolerate you.

But this kind of thing didn't happen. Fortunately, these old foxes wanted to sit on the fence and take advantage of two boats.

In Yuan Shu's opinion, the current situation is exactly the best situation.

There was a conflict of interest between himself and the aristocratic family, but the two parties did not fight, but compromised with each other.

Although the aristocratic family is opposed to itself, it is not an iron plate. Most of the people remain neutral, which makes them dare not act rashly.
