Chapter 237: Draining From the Bottom
Yuan Kai was devastated, but Zhang Yu was not affected.
After another half month in Liaodong, both Zhao Yun and Tai Shici came back, and they recruited all the soldiers.
It is very simple to recruit soldiers in other counties. As long as there is food, there will be a lot of people. This is a troubled world, just for one bite.
In the past half month, Zhang Yu has only sorted out various government affairs, and there is still no way to start any construction for Liaodong.
On this day Zhang Yu called another meeting, but Gu Yong was already in the south to make preparations for the workshop and did not come.
"Are there any difficulties in the army?" Zhang Yu first asked.
Huang Zhong took charge of this matter, and Huang Zhong clasped his fists and said: "Everything is normal. A large number of foreign personnel have joined us. We have dispersed the original army, and there will be fewer rumors from all sides. The morale of the army has also stabilized. Closed training is no problem."
Zhang Yu nodded. The army is what he cares most about, and any problems must be solved immediately.
"The army must strengthen training, because we don't know what will happen next, maybe the Wuhuan people will come back soon." Zhang Yu said.
Several generals stood up and took orders.
Zhang Yu, the government affairs officer, has been arresting him personally because Gu Yong is not around.
Then Zhang Yu looked at Guo Jia and said, "How is the Gongsun family?"
Guo Jia stroked his beard and said, "The Gongsun family is still active recently. They have a huge influence on ordinary people and have been interfering with the work of our counties."
"The Gongsun family." Zhang Yu gritted his teeth and said, "The Gongsun family must be destroyed. Do you have any good solutions?"
For the Gongsun family's ignorance of current affairs, Zhang Yu really didn't want to bear it, and planned to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
"My lord, now we have 20,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, what are we afraid of, we just wiped them out." Dian Wei said loudly.
"No, the Gongsun family has too much influence in Liaodong. We managed to temporarily stabilize Liaodong. If the Gongsun family is destroyed at this time, there will be turmoil in Liaodong. If Wuhuan happens to invade by then, it will be troublesome." Guo Jia said.
It is indeed inappropriate to go to war at this time, but Zhang Yu will never let the Gongsun family continue to cause harm.
"Feng Xiao." Zhang Yu made a decision and said solemnly: "You arrange more people to keep an eye on the Gongsun family, mainly to keep an eye on their people below, and clean them up when necessary."
Zhang Yu understands that the most important thing to clean up the Gongsun family is the people at the bottom of the Gongsun family.
Clean up all the people at the bottom of them, then the influence of the Gongsun family will be small. At that time, even if the Gongsun family is strong, it will not be stronger than Zhang Yu. If you want to destroy the Gongsun family, you will destroy the Gongsun family.
"Yes, my lord, it's just that it's not easy to clean up all these people. Most of us can't tell the difference at all." Guo Jia said.
Zhang Yu smiled indifferently and said: "I have a way to break the local influence of the Gongsun family in one fell swoop, so that they have no support."
Everyone was curious, what good idea did Zhang Yu have.
Zhang Yu sorted out his plan, and then said to everyone: "Building farms throughout Liaodong and assigning people to manage them can increase production, and secondly, establish militias to improve self-protection capabilities. Another advantage is that once Wuhuan makes a big move Invasion, retreat into the mountains in an orderly manner, farm by farm."
"In this way, both the retreat and the post-war reconstruction are very fast, which can save a lot of trouble."
"Wonderful, my lord, in this way, our power can penetrate to the bottom and completely squeeze out the power of the Gongsun family." Guo Jia clapped his hands and said excitedly.
Zhang Yu in Kuaiji County did not do this, but building a farm in the special environment of Liaodong is the best way.
The farm can concentrate the population. If the enemy invades and transfers together, the entire population of Liaodong can be wiped out, leaving a blank space for the Wuhuan people. Even if they burn down the house, with so many people, It can also be built quickly.
As long as people are still there, everything is easy to handle.
"It's not that easy, though.
At the beginning, there will be great opposition, especially from those family landlords. " Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu paused and said: "At this time, Liaodong is my world. If anyone does not cooperate, they will be wiped out immediately. The enemy is on the side, and they cannot be held back."
"We will start with the refugees and those who are not under the control of the family landlords, gather them together, and build farms. When the construction is almost complete, it is time to clean up those who oppose us."
After Zhang Yu finished his plan, everyone admired him greatly.
Zhang Yu broke the influence of the aristocratic families with one move. It won't take long for the influence of these aristocratic families to be greatly weakened.
As long as they don't have such a big influence, then if they are not obedient, they will be wiped out directly.
Zhang Yu began to arrange.
Zhang Yu arranged for Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Guo Jia to deal with it.
At the same time, each arranged two thousand soldiers and horses for them to coordinate the matter.
Zhang Yu acted vigorously and began to act the next day.
With the assistance of thousands of soldiers and the cooperation of officials at all levels, the three of them quickly let go.
In order to prevent accidents, Zhang Yu asked Huang Zhong's cavalry to start training quickly in various places.
At the beginning, nothing happened. These farmers who had no food, no shelter, and no land were easily organized.
As long as you join the farm, the house will be settled, the land will also be settled, and farm tools will be distributed.
None of these people were unwilling, and farms were built one after another in the land of Liaodong.
At first, no one realized what effect this was having.
Ten days later, there were farms all over Liaodong, and these aristocratic families began to panic.
Especially the Gongsun family, who immediately realized the danger.
The Gongsun family suddenly discovered that their influence on the people of Liaodong was getting smaller and smaller.
More than half of the people entered the farm, and after entering the farm, most of the people were out of their control.
"You must not let Zhang Yu's kid mess around like this." Sun Jiashu was thinking at home.
"Come on."
Gongsun Shu couldn't sit still, so he called his servants.
"Go and make an appointment with various families in Liaodong, and let them come to me." Gongsun Shu said.
Soon the people of Gongsun's family split up to act.
The Gongsun family is the overlord in Liaodong, and it was the only overlord before Zhang Yu and the others came. The other aristocratic families are just small families and cannot fight against the Gongsun family. All the aristocratic families can only submit to the Gongsun family.
Half a day later, all the big and small families in Xiangping arrived at Gongsun's house, and Gongsun Shu also sent people to notify some families in various counties.
All this happened to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu sat in the prefect's mansion and looked at the information and said coldly: "The Gongsun family is not far from being destroyed."
