"Let the wealthy families in Jiangdong preserve the tribe, how can the prefectures and counties appointed by me act?" Liu Yu immediately continued with a cold face.

Faced with Liu Yu's dissatisfaction, Chen Chong was not too scared, but had expected it.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Jiangdong is very different from that in the Central Plains. Most of the powerful clans, except for Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang, etc., are located very close to Shanyue bandits."

"If their troops were confiscated, it would be difficult to resist the invasion of mountain thieves."

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the south was still vast and sparsely populated. Many mountainous areas were not actually controlled by the government. Many Shanyue people, as well as various escaped slaves and refugees who were named by Shanyue people, were often used to doing side jobs to rob families.

Although after several generations of Sun Wu people continued to suppress and loot, there were not many real mountain cross-country people.

However, due to the uneasiness in recent years and the exploitation of the powerful, more refugees have fled into the mountains and become a new generation of "mountain thieves".

"Is this really the case?" Liu Yu asked slowly.

In fact, he already believed it a little.

If it weren't for the truth, Chen Chong would not have, and he would not dare to make this request.

"Your Majesty, I will never dare to deceive you." Chen Chong immediately said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, when Jiangdong is pacified, who will dare to act rashly?"

"But if their strength is weakened, it may not be possible to guarantee the local people's livelihood."

"If the mountain thieves are not eliminated for a day, it is not the time to weaken the powerful."

After Chen Chong finished speaking, his expression was calm and motionless.

His words were not like how loyal he was to his country.

But because these matters involve the interests of the Jiangdong tribes and the Shen family's own interests.

Otherwise, how could the Shen family, who remained in Jiangdong, be safe and sound because of Chen Chong's crime of surrendering to the enemy in front of the Jingzhou formation?

The rich people in Jiangdong all felt that the Jin family would not be able to maintain their long life. They all thought of protecting the Shen family today and let Shen Chongda lead the way to protect them in the future.

Chen Chong’s current proposal is naturally a response to reciprocity.

Although Liu Yu didn't know these real things, he thought about it and he guessed it almost right.

"Well, what Chen Qing said makes sense, I will promise you." Liu Yu said with a smile.

As long as they can conquer Jiangdong, those powerful clans will become turtles in the jar and will never be able to escape.

Since they can't escape, they eat the land and population in their stomachs, and they don't want them to spit it out, they have to spit out.

"I thank Your Majesty. As long as you get this permission, the day when the king's army attacks Jiangdong, you will definitely be able to meet you."

Chen Chong's words are definitely not just a casual compliment.

As long as the powerful men of Jiangdong know that Liu Yu has promised to maintain their status and property, he will definitely sell the Sima family without hesitation.

The Jin Dynasty that was loyal to the Sima family?

That's a joke.

If the power occupying the Central Plains was not Liu Yu, but a messy barbarian, then for the sake of the great defense of China and the barbarians, they would support the Sima family.

But now Liu Yu is under the banner of "restoring Han" and is strong, so who is willing to die?

What's more, just a few years ago, when the Sima family destroyed the Eastern Wu, they still remembered the fact that the scholars of the Eastern Wu were called "Jiangdong Hesun".

Now that I have the opportunity, I will be a kind and simple person from Jiangdong who doesn’t step on it a few times.
