From this action, we can see that it makes sense that this kind of ruling system based on aristocratic families could last for more than a thousand years and only gradually disappeared after the Song Dynasty.
The strong ability to control local areas, the tight control over public opinion, and the in-depth ability to mobilize the people are no worse than Qingzhou's current mobilization ability. In other words, under the same conditions, it is stronger than Qingzhou's current mobilization ability.
After all, under Qingzhou's system, one cannot control the life and death of every citizen at will, but the family system is different. The life and death of the people under their rule are really in their hands. They can live if they want you to live, and die if they want you to die.
, Naturally, the degree of obedience of the people is not the same, and Qingzhou relies more on the overall physical hard power that far exceeds that of Jizhou to achieve the same mobilization effect.
People, once you have knowledge, it’s hard to fool...
The news continued to spread to other counties. Within five days, the top-level families in Jizhou, including the Duan family, Cui family, Xiang family, Ji family, He family, Su family, Xue family, Zhang family, Gao family, etc.
The family's communication house and all counties in Jizhou follow this method.
This time, the tacit understanding of cooperation was even greater than when supporting Yuan Shao. They truly used 100% of their strength. In just one week, the entire Jizhou was completely free from the impact of the war, and the system was clear and clear.
, the depth of execution and the speed of work are amazing!
…
In Yecheng, Liu Bei's residence, Wang Xuan, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others sat together, listening to the intelligence gathered below.
After finishing the story, Liu Bei looked at Wang Xuan with some confusion and said: "Zai Zhi, why did you gather everyone together today for this matter? Isn't this great governance in Jizhou a good thing?"
Wang Xuan shook his head and looked at Xi Zhicai and the others, "Zhicai is filial, what do you think?"
The two looked at each other, Guo Jia frowned, and said with some uncertainty: "I don't know why, but it feels a little weird. Logically speaking, these wealthy families shouldn't have this reaction."
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!" Xi Zhicai also affirmed.
"They are playing soft tricks!" Wang Xuan sneered. Xi Zhicai and others may not be able to see this kind of method, but for him, he has not seen too much.
"How do you say that?" Liu Bei asked confused.
"Many times, you are not afraid that the enemy will play hardball with you. In that case, you can just eliminate him. What you are afraid of is that the enemy will break into us and use the opportunity to attack us." Wang Xuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip before continuing:
"What we have always emphasized is establishing a country based on law, with clear rewards and punishments. So I ask Mr. Xuande, these people are so cooperative with the government's actions, and all the people are aware of the trouble, should we reward them?"
"Of course!" Liu Bei nodded in agreement.
"According to the rules, he should be promoted or given an official position, right?"
Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized, "Does this mean that in this way, they will justifiably occupy most of the grassroots official positions in Jizhou?"
"Yes, that's fine if they are ordinary people. It doesn't matter who the official position is given to. We only look at their ability to do things. But what if these are people with ulterior motives?" Wang Xuan spread his hands.
"This..." After hearing this, Liu Bei stood up in a hurry, stared at Wang Xuan and said: "Then we will be completely ignored by them. By then, these local wealthy families will have unparalleled control over the entire Jizhou.
It’s hard for us to shake!”
"Yes, that's the problem. In Jizhou now, aristocratic families control the land, economy, and population. If the other party controls the official positions, hehe, even the army, we can't control it. After all, no one can control it.
They don’t just pop out of the cracks in the rocks, there are always parents, wives, children, relatives and friends. Then, if the people’s hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.”
"What should we do!?" Hearing this, Liu Bei became a little anxious.
"I have long said that it would be easiest to kill all these people directly, but you don't dare!" Wang Xuan snorted coldly.
"Uh...Zai Zhi, don't talk about this now. Let alone Jizhou, the whole world knows it now. If we still use this method, we will completely lose the support of the people. Let's think of a way!" Liu Bei!
With a wry smile, he cupped his fists and saluted Wang Xuan.
"That's not necessarily the case!" Wang Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and said in a cold voice: "It's common for aristocratic families to have a saying on their lips. People are ignorant. You can let it go, but you can't know it. In fact, I agree to a certain extent.
This is what I said."
"Common people are the most forgetful, especially those who cannot type."
"Even if they really kill all the people in the family, as long as the land is divided and the taxes are reduced, hey, within two years, they will be able to forget everything about the previous family!"
Hearing this, not only Liu Bei, but also Xi Zhicai and the others were scratching their heads with headaches. If they opened their mouths or shut up, they would kill them all. This... is really unacceptable. Even Xi Zhicai and the others came from a poor family, and they are not the same as others.
There is a lot of conflict between aristocratic families, but in the final analysis, if they were in a single pavilion, they are also aristocratic families!
Li Ru was the only one with bright eyes and an urge to applaud. Wang Xuan’s approach was so to his liking!
Seeing Li Ru's appearance, Jia Xu, who was huddled in the corner, curled his lips, wondering who was unwilling to come to Qingzhou in the first place.
"My Hao Zaizhi, you must have other ideas, don't say these murderous words, it's too scary!" Liu Bei stood up and grabbed Wang Xuan's arm.
A big man, a man who looks like a gibbon...ah, even if he is good-looking, Wang Xuan quickly waved his hand, "Don't pull me, okay, okay, I'll find a way for you!"
"I knew Zai Zhi wouldn't be helpless!" Liu Bei returned happily. Others also looked at Wang Xuan, curious about how Wang Xuan could break the situation.
"Actually, it's simple. These aristocratic families are going to pull out all the stops for us, so why don't we seize the weaknesses of these aristocratic families and do the same for them."
"Isn't that a situation where you can injure the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred by yourself?" Guo Jia asked with some confusion: "Besides, how can we drain the firepower?"
"It doesn't matter, come on, let's hurt each other, let's see who can't stand it first. Our family has a big business, so what do we have to worry about? The worst we can do is beat the three states of Hebei to pieces. As for taking money from the bottom of the cauldron, of course we will do it according to the wishes of these aristocratic families.
Take the knife."
Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard this, don't we talk about killing people all day long?
"Aristocratic family, the key point?" Li Ru frowned and looked at Wang Xuan, suddenly his eyes lit up, he stood up and said excitedly: "What Zai Zhi said is knowledge!?"
"It's better that a treacherous person like Wen You, who is hated by the family, understands the family better!" Looking at Li Ru who looked unconcerned, Wang Xuan laughed loudly.
It was indeed a good idea to bring Li Ru here, this guy really liked Wang Xuan.
