Chapter 331 Liu Jian has a sharp weapon in his hand
In fact, the Zhou family of Lujiang is not the only family that is extremely sensitive to the current situation in the court. Official families and high-ranking families in other prefectures and counties are also keeping a close eye on Luoyang.
In fact, these things had already been expected by Liu Jian.
From the perspective of future generations, the things these well-dressed and wealthy families have done are against the development and progress of mankind. For their own interests, they have done everything they can to smash bone marrow and suck sperm and blood, as if they are disgusting.
They can do anything.
But if you look at it from another angle, throughout ancient and modern times, who doesn’t live for their own interests like them? Thinking about this issue from their perspective, can you say that they are wrong?
Think about the beautiful country, which cannot be called a country at all, but is just a collection of interests under the guise of a country... while being hated by all mankind, it can attract people to join...
The distribution method of the New Deal may be conducive to the progress and development of all mankind in Middle-earth, but there is no doubt that it has touched the foundation of the noble families of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
This is just like in later generations, a family accumulated a lot of real estate, banknotes, shares and many other properties through doing business or serving as an official... But suddenly one day, the ruler came to talk to you and said that it was your family's house.
Take it out and share it with others to live in. Your family's money must be taken out and everyone spends it together.
Although the nature is not exactly the same, the feelings of the parties concerned are actually the same.
In the eyes of the high-ranking families of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the use of capitation taxes to hide the population and the monopoly distribution of talents from the elite clans were their fixed assets. A hundred years of accumulation had made them accustomed to think so.
These two new policies promulgated by Dong Zhuo feel the same as using their own money to spend on others.
From their perspective, it would be difficult to turn this corner.
Under such circumstances, if they could easily agree without making huge resistance... to put it bluntly, they would be no different from fools.
Throughout the history of mankind in the world, whether it is a cold war or a hot war, the cause of the war is ultimately a struggle for interests.
How can there be so many people asking for life to save the world?
It's all nonsense. The fundamental purpose of war is to redistribute interests.
As for Zhou Yu's father and his uncle, why did they know the news in Luoyang City?
It's very simple. Although Dong Zhuo has not yet promulgated the New Deal, Lu Qiang has already rushed back to Luoyang City from Yangxia City at starry night and discussed this matter with the Emperor and the Queen Mother He.
As expected by Liu Jian, as soon as the Emperor and Queen Mother He heard the news, they hurriedly agreed after a short period of deliberation.
After all, this is also related to their interests.
But the next step, whether it was moving the capital or promulgating new policies, was a big deal. From the perspective of the emperor and Dong Zhuo, it was impossible for them to do anything without making any noise.
This kind of thing cannot be accomplished with a thunderous strike. It has to be discussed on a small scale, and then expanded from the small scale to a medium scale, and then gradually expanded, and finally turned into a public discussion on government affairs.
Therefore, now not only the Lujiang Zhou family, but also the ministers in the court and the clans in many places have received faint rumors.
Who could have imagined that after Yuan Shao gathered all the princes to attack Dong Zhuo, another such big thing would happen.
At the same time, Liu Jian, who was stationed in Yangxia City, had begun preparing to return troops to Hebei.
Just because Lu Bu and Hu Zhen's troops had already evacuated first.
Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo secretly discussed that they would wait until their troops arrived at Yanjin Ferry before returning Niu Fu and Hua Xiong.
Although Liu Jian estimated that Dong Zhuo would not send more troops to sneak attack on him, he still wanted to keep these two hostages until the end just in case.
Before leaving Chen State, Liu Jian still transferred the famous iron smelting, bridge building, bow making and other skilled craftsmen in Chen State, including his family members.
Although the method is a little rough, but in troubled times, some things cannot be too rigid.
Before arriving at Yanjin Ferry, Tian Feng sent someone back to tell the news that Jia Xu's family had been welcomed by Jizhou.
Of course, Tian Feng was somewhat surprised. He really couldn't figure out why Jia Xu's tribe could enter Jizhou so smoothly even though the Black Mountain Army was blocking the way.
Liu Jian informed Jia Xu that his family had been resettled in Yecheng.
After hearing this, Jia Xu immediately thanked Liu Jian profusely.
From this moment on, Jia Xu's family was under Liu Jian's control.
It was now that Liu Jian dared to share his deepest secrets with Jia Xu.
Just like the New Deal that prompted Dong Zhuo and the Emperor to move their capital this time...Liu Jian would not communicate these things with Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Shen Pei and others - even Xun Yu.
There is no doubt that the new policy promulgated by Dong Zhuo will naturally have a huge impact on their family, and as the driving force behind this matter, it is impossible for him to negotiate with them when doing this.
After all, everyone's fundamental interests are not the same in this matter.
In this matter, the actual interests are inconsistent.
It seemed that only Jia Xu was suitable for communication.
Although Jia Xu was also from a noble family, he was from a noble family on the border of Liangzhou.
The group benefits brought about by the Chaju system cannot be shared by marginalized gentry groups like him. Even if they can be shared, to put it bluntly, they are very small.
As for taxation, it has nothing to do with them. His people and he have already left their hometowns and are completely dependent on Liu Jian.
In a sense, Jia Xu may be the one who can benefit after the New Deal is promulgated.
After listening to Liu Jian's account of himself, Jia Xu was only slightly surprised, but he quickly returned to normal.
Seeing that Jia Xu's expression was very dull, Liu Jian couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Wen He didn't seem surprised after hearing this?"
Jia Xu shook his head: "If it had happened to someone else, Xu would definitely be surprised. But based on Jia Xu's understanding of the lord over this period of time, if this happened to the lord, it might be normal."
Liu Jian asked curiously: "Why?"
Jia Xu said solemnly: "Because my lord is the hero of the world! Only a figure like my lord can accomplish such a great undertaking that can change the world and make celebrities famous throughout the ages."
After listening to Jia Xu's words, Liu Jian raised his head and laughed.
"Although Wenhe is flattery, it feels very comfortable to hear it. After being someone else's lord for several years, I am actually willing to listen to flattery."
"Okay, no matter what you say is true or false, I will take it seriously."
Jia Xu lowered his head and said, "Everything Xu said is true."
"Wen He, in your opinion, once His Majesty and Dong Zhuo decide on the matter of moving the capital and issue new policies at the same time, what is the success rate?"
Jia Xu said: "It is not difficult to promulgate a government decree, but if you want to implement the government decree into reality, it will not be achieved overnight. You need to advance it year by year. At the same time, the world will become more and more divided because of this decree."
"
"If we want to fully implement these two decrees, we must break up the country and spend ten or twenty years to re-formulate the rules and smooth them out."
Liu Jian nodded: "These two new policies must come out of the hands of the emperor and Dong Zhuo, but I feel that your majesty and the prime minister may not be able to coexist with the new policies in the end..."
Jia Xu saluted and said: "My lord is very worried. When Xu was in the capital, he had several encounters with the emperor and the queen mother. According to Xu, today's emperor is not a heroic ruler, and why is the queen mother a dull one?"
"Women, the most these two people can do is hide behind Dong Xiangguo and show off their prestige. The key to the continuation of the New Deal lies with Xiangguo."
Liu Jian smiled and said: "Heroes really think alike."
Jia Xu said: "According to Xu's understanding of Xiangguo, Dong Xiangguo is fully capable of this. He already has this determination, including his ruthlessness... Thinking about it, he can really carry out this new policy."
"It's just that for the Prime Minister, he has one biggest shortcoming."
Liu Jian knew what Jia Xu was talking about.
"What Wen He wants to say is that he is afraid that Dong Zhuo is too old and has not implemented the New Deal to a certain extent, so he will not miss the New Year, right?"
Jia Xu said: "Returning to my lord, it is exactly the case. And I may have thought that in a few years, I will have the intention of retreating from the rapids, and then the changes will be huge."
Liu Jian sighed after hearing this.
"Forget it, a few years from now, let's think about what will happen a few years from now. Is there anything in this world that is perfect in everything?"
But he saw Jia Xu arching his hand towards Liu Jian.
"The top priority right now is that the lord needs to carefully observe the various pastoral guards, especially the Yuan brothers' next actions towards the lord."
Liu Jian was confused by Jia Xu's words.
"I don't quite understand what Wen He said. Regarding the relocation of the capital to Luoyang and the promulgation of the New Deal, although I was behind it, in fact, the people who did it were the emperor and Dong Xiangguo. Why did the Yuan family want to attack me?
Woolen cloth?"
Jia Xu said respectfully: "The famous officials in the world and the Yuan brothers may not know who is the person who is pushing it, but they have to find a way to deal with the huge impact of the New Deal."
"According to Jia Xu's understanding of the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister's ability to do things may be insufficient."
"However, in the early stages of his actions, the resoluteness of the Prime Minister in handling affairs was far beyond what ordinary people could compare to."
"No matter how fiercely the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government block the move of the capital and the new policies, and no matter how much pressure the world's famous families put on the imperial court, the prime minister will never fail."
"Especially once the capital is moved to Chang'an, Dong Xiangguo will have reached his base. At that time, the Kwantung princes will have no chance of winning if they want to attack Xiangguo with military force."
"Based on Xu's understanding of the Yuan brothers, they will never give in, especially in the first two years after the New Deal was promulgated. In order to prevent the New Deal from having too deep an impact on the people, the world's wealthy and wealthy families will definitely take action."
Liu Jian suddenly realized.
"What Wen He means is that the Yuan Brotherhood is looking for ways to undermine the New Deal here?"
"Exactly, according to Jia Xu, there is only one weapon in the world that can break the power of the New Deal."
Liu Jian's thinking was also very quick. He just thought about it briefly and thought of what the sharp weapon Jia Xu mentioned was.
"King Chenliu?"
Jia Xu nodded gently: "Yes! Xu can guarantee that once those people in charge of clothing feel unable to change the court's mind, they will definitely turn their attention to King Chenliu."
