By the time Chen Xi returned to Yecheng, Li You and Lu Su had already dealt with a lot of things proactively. Some aristocratic families with quick hands and long-term vision had already packed up their surroundings and moved to the Northeast.
These aristocratic families are not too numerous, but they are not without them. After all, Liu Bei does have some die-hard supporters. The Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui, the Zhen family, the Zhang family, and the Zheng family have all been packed up. Only the main lineage of the family is left hanging around in Jizhou.
Although it was agreed early in the morning that they would all move away, these aristocratic families did it so quickly that Chen Xi had nothing to say. They just left a main line on their own land and had hundreds of people to protect them.
The guardian of the main line.
Having reached this level, Chen Xi could only let it go. After all, these people were the first to come forward and actively support their policies, and they did not go too far. Chen Xi just regarded it as a gift to this group of people.
Human welfare.
"Your family moved 70,000 people?" Chen Xi's mouth twitched as he looked at Zhen Mi who came to greet him. Although he knew early on that the Zhen family was in Wuji, Zhongshan, it was terrible, but moving to his own family could also move 70,000 people.
He is truly a rich man.
"Well, yes, 70,000 people were moved. When my brother announced that it was time to move, many people were willing to move with our family. Of course, my brother did encourage this." Zhen Mi nodded.
She nodded and said, she didn't expect there would be so many people.
"Why are there so many? Your tenants, nurses, servants, and private slaves add up to more than 10,000, and more than 60,000 are common people?" Chen Xi frowned and said, moving so many people at once.
It was indeed more than Chen Xi expected.
"Our family has a good reputation in Wuji, Zhongshan." Zhen Mi Wangtian said in a soliloquy tone, "During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, my family was herding grain in Jizhou, and half of the people in Wuji, Zhongshan, ate from us.
Food for disaster relief."
"That's it." Chen Xi nodded. If the Zhen family casually moved away with 70,000 to 80,000 people, then would the Central Plains family have to flee at a pace of 10 million? It would be strange if the Central Plains did not collapse.
"They are really cunning and simple people."
"When will you marry me? If I'm in the Zhen family, my brother will always have trouble exercising the power of the head of the family." Zhen Mi looked at Chen Xi and said, Fan Jian on the side held his forehead and didn't even want to say anything anymore. He had been grinding for so long.
, and finally asked directly.
"There is still one document missing, and it has not been filed." Chen Xi sighed and said, all the officials were killed, the old lady was often Zhao Qi, Chen Xi didn't know how to file.
"Okay, I can wait." Zhen Mi was obviously not happy and said in a long voice, but then she recovered.
"Speaking of which, it's strange. Why don't the Fan family and Chen family come to greet me?" Chen Xi said slightly strangely. In the past, the Fan family and Chen family would have sent people to greet me no matter what. After all, face is all about face.
You give it to me, I'll give it to you.
"It's moving. My father is organizing the Fan family to move. The Chen family has moved away en masse before, and the principals have all run away." Fan Jian said helplessly. The two families left in a clean and tidy manner, and everyone in the family moved away.
Moved away.
"Okay, okay, that's fine. Come on, let's go back. I haven't seen you for a long time. Ha, I wonder if Qian'er knows me." Chen Xi smiled and grabbed Fan Jian and Chen Lan, taking his own
The group of people went home first, "It's better to be at home!"
Fan Jian and Chen Lan both chuckled and did not answer.
However, Chen Xi only stayed at home for three days before he was forcibly taken away to work by Li You. Looking at Chen Xi with a resentful look on his face, Li You ignored him and threw a stack of things that he had prepared directly in front of Chen Xi.
on the desktop.
"Are you trying to kill me? Why are there so many in the past few days?" Chen Xi looked at Li You with a look of resentment. He didn't want to work at all and just wanted to lie at home.
"This has been accumulated over the past few months." Li You said angrily, "Hurry up, the aristocratic family has begun to move. If you don't hurry up, be careful!"
Although the migration of aristocratic families to the north is indeed a good thing for the government, this good thing is also accompanied by a kind of chaos. The migration of aristocratic families almost means the collapse of local rules, and each region directly loses a long-standing rule.
This lack of rules will not cause any major problems in a short period of time, but if it lasts too long, it will cause a series of problems. Although we have estimated and prepared early in the morning, but when it comes to this
Sometimes, there are also some other things to deal with.
We can't just move the aristocratic family away, let the powerful landowners there become bigger, and then start to usurp the power of the country before the government's power is invested.
"If you ask me, you should move in batches. With such a wave of relocation, it will be difficult for our current power to penetrate into all aspects of the country perfectly." Lu Su knocked on the table aside and moved Chen Xi
and Li You's attention was attracted.
"Nonsense, batch-by-batch relocation is a waste of time and energy, and the wrangling in the middle will definitely consume a lot of time, and maybe we will have to do other things before it is finished."
Chen Xi said angrily, "We must move away in one wave."
"I didn't say that it was wrong for you to move away in a wave. I think that our current government is simply not strong enough to fully grasp the power vacuum left by the major families in various regions." Lu Su said helplessly.
"Your goal is to return the decree to the country. The current approach is indeed correct, but if we do this, we cannot take it all back. How can we manage so many remote places?" Li You helped Lu Su. It was obvious.
Chen Xi is still in the stage of waking up.
"You mean, after the family runs away, we can intervene in the main branches, but in other areas that cannot be managed, we will take advantage of the landlords?" Chen Xi could still understand Li You's words, so he asked directly
road.
"That's what it means. The aristocratic family has been moved away, but only a large part of the power has been returned to the government. The remaining cheap landlords and tyrants are really terrible." Lu Su explained, "Although they have obtained this part of the power
, those powerful landlords don’t have the capital to fight against the country, but this is the power we got by leveraging the aristocratic family!”
"Why should I give it to them!" Chen Xi objected directly, "I have spent so much effort on these bastards to pry them all away. These powerful landlords have done nothing. Why should I share what I finally got? I can't live.
Are you impatient?"
"I can't control it." Li You said helplessly. To put it bluntly, he couldn't control it.
