Afterwards, Yan Pu said a few more items one after another.

What Yan Pu mentioned, the problem that he did not mention, is ultimately nothing more than the local people in Jiaozhou who are resistant to General Zuo’s rule in Jiaozhou. This is not because of the bad customs in Jiaozhou, but because of the fact that it is true.

Since the Guangwu Center, the township has become a great power. The rich families have been deeply engaged in the local area and have been closely connected with each other as marriage, village party, classmates and other classmates. Over the past hundred years, they have formed omnipotent interest groups at the grassroots level of the local area. In Jiaozhou, the interest groups of the Han people have even broken up and reunited with the Man parts and colluded with each other. Although there will be conflicts and struggles within them, they will naturally embrace each other in the face of external forces to protect their own interests.

Since Jiaozhou is located in a deserted state, the control of the center is not tight enough, and loopholes in household registration, taxation, selection, supervision and other aspects are inevitable, which makes local forces increasingly larger.

Unlike the northern states, after the local tyrants in other prefectures and counties gradually became powerful, they finally attached importance to Confucianism and praised fame. The children of the clan wanted to gain fame and serve as officials in the court and even glorify their ancestors. However, Jiaozhou was rarely influenced by the Han style, so these local forces were nakedly seeking clan expansion, either rampant in prefectures and counties, or local bullies, or even established a title as king, and were from the court.

In contrast, the Han governors of Jiaozhi or Jiaozhou governors of the Han Dynasty were often afraid of the complex situation in Jiaozhou. Many governors were under the banner of Jiaozhou being in a remote place and having difficulty traveling, and even did not go to local supervision and control.

In the past few decades, due to the chaos in the central government, the governors were willing to come to Jiaozhou to gain a foothold. But except for the earliest Jia Cong who was able to recruit wasteland and scatter the state, the other governors, such as Zhou Cheng, Zhu Fu, Zhang Jin and others, were either selfish or poorly harshly, which triggered fierce confrontations between Jiaozhou people and outsiders, causing wars that affected the prefectures and counties.

Therefore, after the eighth year of Jian'an, except for Wu Ju occupying the north gateway of Jiaozhou, no one else could gain a foothold in Jiaozhou. The one who could roughly stabilize the territory and forces of Jiaozhou was Shi Xie, the local gentry leader of Jiaozhou. However, Shi Xie was killed by Bu Zhi, which caused trouble from the enemy, and there was no consensus.

As a result, the grassroots of various places tend to break away from the original court system and strive to enrich their own forces to protect themselves. For example, Qu Jing and others who are entrenched in counties and counties and are just a more famous group.

Perhaps in their opinion, Lei Yuan, the left general who governed Jiaozhou, was like many previous governors of Jiaozhou, and could not be in the long run against the local forces in the entire Jiaozhou. Even if there were some conflicts, in the end, the officials sent by the court came and went like flowing water, and the iron bucket mountains and rivers in Jiaozhou were still the same.

Unfortunately, Lei Yuan is not an ordinary governor of Jiaozhou. He is the left general with strong strength and is the governor of Jiaozhou. He has full power. Relying on his strong strength, he has too many means to use.

Lei Yuan was now on the rise. Ma Zhong and Yan Pu said, sorting out the structure, functions and operation methods of the supply and marketing cooperative clearly. After all, although the name of this institution is fresh, it is just about average and evenly exported, taking out armed escort, and forcibly promoted.

Lei Yuan smiled and drank tea, listening to Ma Zhong and Yan Pu discussing.

While listening to the two of them finalizing the matter, they also found that these two subordinates were very interesting.

Yan Pu was originally a subordinate of Zhang Lu, and followed Xu Huang to Brazil and was captured by Lei Yuan. His old proposition, Zhang Lu, is now in Jiaozhou, and his position is on par with Yan Pu, and is a different leader in Jiaozhou. Therefore, Yan Pu has always been very careful to avoid making a big splash, and he does not easily show that his status surpasses the Lei clan managers such as Xin Bin. After all, Ma Zhong is young, and he has a great role in military affairs.

So the two talked for a while, and saw that the dominance of the entire supply and marketing cooperative was about to be held in Ma Zhong's hands. The small number of troops originally mobilized for security protection became the main body, while the caravans who went to the countryside to patrol and sell goods seemed to be subordinates.

Judging from Ma Zhong's meaning, he seemed to be planning to use the caravan's wealth and goods to force local wealthy people to respond. Once they responded, they would have some tricks. On this grounds, the warriors who were walking with the caravan immediately took action and eliminated them.

Lei Yuan smacked his lips.

He put down the tea and said slowly: "Ahem... you don't have to do it so fiercely, or you don't have to consider only intense means."

The Zuo General's Mansion was very large, and there were more servants and maids responsible for the servants than before. However, because Arnold was still young, Zhao Xiang was afraid that he would not be able to adapt after he arrived in Jiaozhou. He took care of him like a pearl and a treasure every day, and even transferred Adu, the maid who had originally followed Lei Yuan, to go there.

In this way, only his entourages and the Shujiao were following Lei Yuan. The entourages were inevitably rough in their work. In this way, the tea he made for Lei Yuan was not the tea he was used to, but the tea soup that was crushed with tea cakes, boiled with onion, ginger and spices.

Because I cooked some medicinal materials to clear heat, the taste is even more indescribable.

Lei Yuan pushed the teacup farther and said to Ma Zhong and Yan Pu:

"Jiaongzhou is remote, and local forces have been inseparable for many years. I don't know how many people are related to each other, and they will lose both of them and prosper together. When we carry tens of thousands of people south, it is inevitable that they will squeeze their interests and cause their doubts. If we show that we can kill people and seize their property if we have an opportunity, it may trigger a large-scale commotion."

"I understand what the general means, it is to be a combination of magnanimity and strength."

"Yes, for some people who act violently and have obvious hostile intentions, we need not worry about it. But we must also pay attention to commend those who are willing to obey the imperial court's orders, share the benefits with them and allow them to gain the benefits of cooperation with the imperial court."

After a pause, Lei Yuan continued: "After all, Jiaozhou is vast, and our power needs to be used temporarily. It cannot or cannot be spread to thousands of miles. Therefore, for Haoyou, we must suppress them, restrain them, and drive them to use them, and even win them to a certain extent."

Yan Pu nodded and said, "After all, our influence on the grassroots of Jiaozhou is far from enough. For a long time, we need these rich people to fill the grassroots, and they need to send troops, grain and taxes."

"That's true. Qiang Zonghaoyou is not necessarily our enemy, but what we need to do is to suppress their influence in the local area back to their own manor. Outside the manor, their operations, expansion and survival must be managed. Their population, food, money, and materials must also be controlled by the Zuo General's Mansion."

Ma Zhong and Yan Pu looked at each other and felt that General Lei was even more cruel than we thought. If we did this, I am afraid that the local Haoyou would be worse than death, and they would not have less resistance.

Lei Yuan then said seriously: "Those who are willing to agree with this principle and obey us are the local good people who are protected by the Zuo General's Mansion. The talented people in their clan can be absorbed into the Zuo General's Mansion and become part of the court."

"Is the general going to elect an official?"

"That is, the court must rely on local good officials and enrich the county government. Please inform Wen Miao about the governor Lai and the prefect, and said that from now on, the number of officials in the three counties and prefects of Cangwu, Yulin and Nanhai will be expanded, at least 30% to 50% compared with the current. These increased positions, along with the previous vacancies, must be fully equipped as soon as possible, from the moment to the right positions of the governor and the right positions of the county government, must be fully equipped as soon as possible. Especially in the local ranks of the county, all those who are respectful and familiar with government affairs, should be cited in every county. If you have outstanding talents and are specially recommended by the Left General, you must be promoted and give full play to your favor."

The so-called respectful and knowledgeable political decrees, familiar with political affairs, and outstanding talents are naturally the group of people who firmly stand on the position of General Zuo and fight against their stubborn companions.
