After taking care of the Shuzhong family, the biggest problem Liu Chan faced was successfully solved. Although he had to cause this problem himself, as the saying goes, it is better to take precautions before they happen than to fix them before these cancers become real in the future.

What went wrong with the outbreak? It was too late for Liu Chan to think about it and regret it at that time!

But all in all, the plan was carried out smoothly, and the results were fruitful and rewarding. Even Jiang Wan's over-understanding was not bad. Overall, Yizhou was moving in a good direction.

Even if the sudden collapse of the aristocratic families in these places caused some chaos, how could Liu Chan suddenly attack these people if he had not made preparations in advance.

Officials at all levels have already prepared countermeasures, and the new scholars are eager to display their ambitions and abilities. I am afraid that these problems are not enough for the young scholars and scholars to discuss.

Coupled with the extra effort and dedication of the upper-level officials, even though some minor local problems did arise in the early stages of the implementation of the plan, and perhaps the remnants of the remaining aristocratic families caused chaos everywhere, there was still no trouble.

There will be a bigger disturbance.

Liu Chan was afraid that his actions would cause instability in the rear and indirectly affect his father's plan for the Northern Expedition on the front line. Therefore, he made full preparations to ensure that all possible situations were anticipated before he really started to implement his plans.

cleanup plan.

Of course, it is actually correct to call this plan a plan to settle accounts after the fall. After all, Liu Chan's original purpose was actually to target those guys who secretly minted coins with the intention of affecting the economy of central Sichuan and making a fortune for their own benefit...

…

After wiping out the vast majority of aristocratic families, how to divide and handle the freed up interests is not a matter that can be dismissed casually.

Those who spent money to buy their lives, those who were left behind by Liu Chan, and his own people who were completely firm in their stance. Faced with such huge interests, it is difficult to say that these three types of families would still be able to stick to their true intentions.

Especially for those aristocratic families that have emptied their wealth, how could these people not be crazy and excited when faced with the opportunity to revitalize their families?

But in fact, Liu Chan has already divided this huge benefit. It is obviously unrealistic for the official family to take it all. These aristocratic families are not left behind because Liu Chan cannot destroy them, but because Liu Chan cannot solve the aristocratic family system.

Some people have a family, and if they have a family, they will grow and develop, and then gradually become stronger and eventually evolve into a wealthy family, and so on.

This is an unavoidable problem. Even if Liu Chan can eliminate this crop, what about the next crop and the next crop?

Liu Chan knew in his heart that he could not keep killing like this. There was no reason not to say it was morally untenable.

Even this decisive killing operation has almost damaged the reputation of benevolence and righteousness that his father Liu Bei has established over the years. This is the result of finding many crimes for those wealthy families.

The crimes of maliciously hoarding materials and buying and selling grain at high prices during the war, the evidence of privately minting coins, and secretly collaborating with other places to make music, etc. are partly true and partly imposed, and half and half imposed are enough reasons to take down these wealthy families in one fell swoop.

If you still want to use this method to deal with rising aristocratic families in the future, it depends on whether they are willing or not!

After all, it is not as easy to replicate something you have done once and do it a second time, especially those who can grow up to the level of aristocratic families, who are the truly brainless guys?

Therefore, aristocratic families can be destroyed, but they cannot be destroyed. The aristocratic family and the aristocratic family are actually two completely different manifestations.

One is the individual and the other is the overall. The individual can be manipulated by Liu Chan, but the overall will always continue to exist. It may not change for hundreds of years, but it may not be called a noble family at that time.

Therefore, Liu Chan never thought about becoming the enemy of the family. If he really had such a plan, even if his father became more powerful and the Yizhou army was stronger, the road to unifying the world would not be easy. After all, in the final analysis, the words of this family

The power is still not small.

On the contrary, what Liu Chan can do is to find a balance point. On the one hand, he will do his best to eliminate the influence of the aristocratic family's voice, and on the other hand, he will ensure that these aristocratic families will not be touched by the bottom line in his heart.

As long as this balance point is found, the benefits ceded from the wealthy families will be enough to satisfy Liu Chan and rejuvenate the big man!

Therefore, the government represented by Liu Chan naturally wants to swallow up 80% of the benefits that are vacant in Yizhou this time, and the remaining 20% ​​is the benefits he throws out to other aristocratic families.

A big stick in one hand and red dates in the other. Only by working together can those restless people be able to do their best honestly.

Otherwise, it would be unwise to just press hard and it will only accumulate more and more anger and dissatisfaction. In the end, maybe something will become the trigger for a complete breakup and conflict between the two parties.

On the contrary, it is also not advisable to give comfort blindly. In this way, those people may be grateful in a short period of time. The first generation of the aristocratic family will miss you and remember your affection.

But over time, this kind of appeasement has become a habit for the wealthy families, and even the slightest mistake may turn into irreversible hatred.

The so-called friendship between rice and rice is nothing more than this...

It is no small matter to cede benefits.

Liu Chan can decide the use of money and food, but when it comes to fundamental issues in Shu, he still has to ask his father for instructions.

In addition, the inventory of money and food was almost finished, and I didn't catch up with Deng Ai to go north to deliver it smoothly. This time, I went to Nanzheng, Hanzhong together with Liu Chan's report.

Continuous and mighty convoys of baggage vehicles were driving on the newly built county roads. Since Liu Chan proposed and implemented the road construction plan, let’s not talk about the problems of travel outside Yizhou, but this is Yizhou.

Internal transportation is infinitely more convenient than before.

Together with the construction of dangerous mountain roads and the widening of the plank roads between cliffs, the speed of traveling from Yizhou to Hanzhong has been greatly accelerated than before. It is also greatly conducive to the transportation of logistical supplies and the support of the army. This is very important for Liu Bei.

The plan for the Northern Expedition was simply a huge improvement.

Especially when the mighty convoy of luggage arrived at Nanzheng City, and when Liu Bei saw these abundant logistical supplies with his own eyes, the feeling of happiness and pride in his heart became even stronger!

"Kongming, look!" Liu Bei pointed at the baggage convoys that were entering one after another under the city, and said with satisfaction in his tone: "I don't know how long it took to transport the baggage from Shuzhong to Hanzhong in the past, let alone

The plank road is difficult to navigate. In the changing weather, we have to be careful of dangers. The losses on the road are a big expense. And now, since the plank road has been renovated, the relationship between Shuzhong and Hanzhong

But it is even closer, and the food and supplies are transported so quickly, our Northern Expedition army will no longer have to worry about anything!"

It’s no wonder that Liu Bei was unhappy. First of all, the connection between Shuzhong and Hanzhong was due to Liu Chan’s contribution, and it was a huge and important part.

If it weren't for Liu Chan's road construction, Liu Bei would not have raised the importance of roads to such a high level, let alone agreed to Liu Chan's plan to carry out road construction projects at a time when Yizhou was short of money and food.

Even if aristocratic families really accounted for the lion's share of the money spent on building roads, without Liu Bei's support, Liu Chan would be powerless even if he had an empty mind.

Looking at the current results, Liu Bei is really happy from the bottom of his heart. He is lucky that he trusted his son so much that he could have such a situation where he has no worries about logistics and supplies now!

And this second point, after all, the Northern Expedition was Liu Bei's focus for the rest of his life. If the failure of the Northern Expedition was due to the untimely supply of supplies, that would probably be the thing Liu Bei regrets the most.

But now, there is no need to continue to worry about this. The endless convoys are still driving into the city one after another. Liu Bei is now worried that Nanzheng may not be able to accommodate the food.

No more worrying about whether there is enough food on the Northern Expedition front line and whether supplies are timely enough!

"My young master has farsightedness and master's wisdom. This is the blessing of the great man and the blessing of the world!"

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the smile on his face did not stop for a moment. Seeing the huge and continuous motorcade under the city, even Liu Bei was sighed and excited. Zhuge Liang couldn't help but praise in his heart: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty"

With the blessing of heroic spirits, my lord can have a successor as amazing and talented as Mr. Zen, and it will be a great success for the great Han Dynasty to revive and support Han Zuo!"

"That's right..." Liu Bei nodded, fully agreeing with Zhuge Liang's words.

"I think that I, Liu Xuande, have been wandering around for most of my life, and it took me forty years to have a precious son like Chan'er. It is really because of the blessing and protection of my Liu family ancestors that I, the Zhongxing of Han Dynasty, can hope to turn from decline to prosperity!" Liu Bei seemed to say this.

Thinking of something, he stood up with his hands behind his hands and looked up at the sky in the distance, saying with some sadness: "It's just that my son is still too young after all, and I am now over half a hundred years old. I don't know what he can do in this lifetime."

Can you see the prosperous age when the great Han Dynasty has resurrected and unified the world..."

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei didn't wait for Zhuge Liang to speak. He shook his head and said: "Forget it, the top priority right now is the Northern Expedition. Let's not think about these future things for now. When I die and my strength is exhausted, I still have to carry out the important task of reviving the great Han Dynasty."

It's up to Chan'er to complete it, and Kong Ming's power will be needed to assist Chan'er when the time comes!"

"My lord!" Zhuge Liang hurriedly bowed: "My lord, why did you say this? Successful reports of the Northern Expedition are coming frequently. The three generals and their soldiers will surround the old Han capital of Chang'an. By then, all the land in Guanzhong will be in the hands of the lord, and Heluo will also be in the hands of the lord."

It is not difficult to take it. Our side has become a condescending force from east to west. Even though Cao Wei still has the advantage, the overall situation of the world has quietly sided with the Lord. The day of reunification is not far away! At that time,

The lord has great talents and strategies, the young lord is intelligent and benevolent, and the people will return to their hearts. It is natural that the great Han Dynasty will return to prosperity!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Bei laughed loudly, patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder and walked down the tower.

But in fact, both Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang knew that although these words were true, they were actually more of a comfort.

It is a fact that Liu Bei is already old, and even though he has a great victory over Guanzhong in this Northern Expedition, even the land of Heluo has been captured and can be defended with great danger.

But precisely because we have captured more territory, we need further stabilization and development. The safest and most reliable method is to work slowly and gradually. After all, rushing and daring is just a temporary path on the battlefield, fighting for world hegemony.

It is never the impatient who has the upper hand. On the contrary, the more stable the party, the greater the chance, and the more solid the party, the higher the chance of winning!

Zhuge Liang naturally cannot be unclear about this. Liu Bei also knew in his heart that his military advisor could say these words just to comfort himself and at the same time express his own position. Loyalty may be applicable to Liu Bei.

But once he dies and it's his son Liu Chan's place, it won't necessarily be the case.

Even though the relationship between his son and the military advisor was master and apprentice, it was precisely because of this that Liu Bei was vaguely worried that this position would lead to some unexpected troubles.

Zhuge Liang obviously heard the meaning of Liu Bei's words, so he expressed his attitude and position through these words. Even if he said it in front of Liu Bei, no one can say that this is what Zhuge Liang really feels in his heart.

What about ideas.

Obviously, Liu Bei had no intention of continuing to delve deeper. Just one sentence and one question and one answer was enough.

As he said himself, although he is old, there is still a long way to go in the future. Things in the future need to be prepared early, but some things need to be discussed in the future.

The most important thing at the moment is still the Northern Expedition. It is still their coveting and ambition to win Guanzhong. Also after Chang'an there is Luoyang, an important treasure land. Liu Bei is also very coveted!

But in fact, despite the fact that the monarch and his ministers were talking relaxedly and smiling here, in fact the news on the front line of the Northern Expedition was far from being as optimistic as it seemed.

The third brother Zhang Fei, the veteran general Huang Zhong and others led troops to besiege Chang'an. However, Xia Houyuan's behavior was very different from usual. If the intelligence had not been accurate, Liu Bei once thought that the guard of Chang'an City was replaced by Cao Zixiao instead of Cao Zixiao.

Xiahou Miaocai, famous for his swift march!

A hundred attempts will be useless if you can't shrink back. Chang'an City is not Luoyi, which was burned down by Dong's thieves and half-renovated.

After the Dong thieves retreated to Chang'an, in addition to building forts in Xi County, they also ordered people to strengthen the Chang'an city defense, with the purpose of using it as a barrier to guard against the original Kwantung Allied Forces.

Let’s not talk about the subsequent failures of the coalition forces, but Chang’an’s city defense has not fallen into disrepair. It has not been abandoned after several changes of ownership. On the contrary, after it fell into the hands of Cao Wei, Zhong Yao further strengthened it.

Even though there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers in Shu, there is nothing that can be done against Chang'an City.

The high walls, dangerous arrow towers and watchtowers, combined with the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xiahou Yuan's hands, made Chang'an City not impregnable, but it was different.

However, the most important thing in Guanzhong is Chang'an. If Chang'an does not go down to Guanzhong, it is uncertain. Even if he knows that this is a bone that can knock out teeth, Liu Bei must chew down the city of Chang'an!
Chapter completed!
