"Don't worry, everyone, if you are truly loyal to me, I will definitely not treat you badly!"

Qin Yuan sat in the seat where the Guangning County Magistrate had just occupied, looking at everyone with a smile.

In order to ensure the stability of Guangning County, these gentry classes are indispensable.

At least, Qin Yuan currently does not have the power to completely eliminate these noble classes.

However, Qin Yuan would not let these gentry classes remain the same as before.

"You also know that in order to create a great cause with the great sage and mentor and rebuild a peaceful and prosperous age, a lot of manpower and material resources have been spent!"

Then, Qin Yuan said again, "Is it time for you to show your support?"

Coming!

Sure enough, Qin Yuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Everyone took a breath and knew that Qin Yuan would not let them go so easily.

"I wonder what Qin Daqushuai wants us to do?"

“In recent years, there have been constant natural and man-made disasters, and every family doesn’t have much leftover food!”

"However, we must tighten our belts to support them!"

A highly respected old man asked.

These words are for Qin Yuan's lion to open his mouth and get a vaccination in advance.

Otherwise, Qin Yuan proposes to take all their assets, who can bear it!

It would be better to just fight Qin Yuan.

"Mr. Wang is right!"

Everyone nodded. "Our life is not easy. In recent days, the Yellow Turban Moth. Our rebel army has been conquering everywhere, causing serious losses to many industries!"

"alright!"

"Stop pretending in front of me!"

Qin Yuan sneered.

"Give you two choices!"

"First, in the name of each of your families, organize a rebel army, join the Yellow Turban camp, follow me to fight together, and overthrow the Han Dynasty!"

"Each family must send no less than 3,000 troops, and the total number must not be less than 50,000. These soldiers can be commanded by you. They only need to be responsible to the commander-in-chief and obey the orders of the commander-in-chief."

"As for the logistics of the army, including equipment, money and food, etc., you are all self-sufficient. I will never interfere. And the merits established by the army and the territory won are all your credit!"

"At the same time, your independence and the command of the army will be guaranteed!"

Qin Yuan said, "When the Han Dynasty is overthrown, you will all be the founding generals, and you will be crowned princes for generations!"

This condition ensured their control over the army.

With military power in hand, he has the capital to negotiate with Qin Yuan.

Even when there are differences with Qin Yuan, he can even lead his army to confront him.

Sounds pretty good.

But there was only one thing that made them feel frightened.

That is the rebel army organized in the name of each of their families.

If the Yellow Turban Uprising succeeds, they will naturally be the founding fathers of the country and can re-divide the cake of the new world.

If the uprising fails, the court will definitely pursue the case.

This is a serious crime to destroy the nine tribes!

Although the rewards are good, such high risks and the possibility of being exterminated are not in line with the survival of these families.

In this era, ensuring family inheritance and passing it on to future generations is better than anything else!

"What about the second option?"

Mr. Wang asked.

This first condition sounds exciting and exciting.

But in fact, there is a great danger hidden.

"Second, I will forcefully recruit 90% of your clan's guards and private troops, as well as 30% of your clan's descendants!"

"And, each family will give half of their property!"

"As long as I am alive for one day, your family will be safe!"

"Of course, the premise is that you don't do anything to disgrace me!"

Qin Yuan said again.

Compared with the first one, the conditions and treatment of the second one are much different!

But the first one is that they actively participated in joining the Yellow Turban Army.

The second one was forced to join the Yellow Turban Army.

The two are completely different.

Once the decision is made, it will determine the future of their family.

If you are optimistic about the Yellow Turban Army, then naturally choose the first one.

If you feel that the big man cannot be overthrown, then it is best to choose the second option!

"Shuai Qin Daqu, can you let us discuss it?"

Mr. Wang sighed softly and asked.

"Okay, I'll give you one hour to think about it!"

Qin Yuan waved his hand.

He signaled that they could leave the room, but they could not leave the city lord's mansion.

"Thank you Daqushuai!"

Mr. Wang and others immediately retreated.

"Lord, why let them choose?"

"Looking at their hesitation, it's obvious that they can't trust us!"

"I think it's better to kill them all!"

Li Cunxiao said dissatisfied.

"Can't kill!"

"All the scholar-bureaucrats in the world are one family!"

"You can kill one, but you can't kill them all!"

"Why offend everyone because of these people!"

Qin Yuan shook his head.

"Besides, what we need is for them to set an example!"

"As long as Guangning County can learn from the past, what do you think they will do if we attack other counties in the future if they know they are losing?"

Qin Yuan asked.

Using gentle methods will be beneficial to Qin Yuan's next actions.

If we use the method of slaughtering the city, or wiping out all these noble classes, it would indeed be quite satisfying, as we can cut through the mess with one sword.

But the problem is that when you attack other cities later, the enemies in the city will be frightened by Qin Yuan's cruel methods and choose to resist tenaciously, preferring death to surrender.

In this way, the difficulty of attacking the city will rise sharply in the future.

It might be possible to defeat two cities in one.

If every city was like this, I don’t know how much time it would take!

There are hundreds of cities in one Shanggu County. If we attack them one by one, it may take a year and a half to completely capture the entire Shanggu County.

By that time, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had been suppressed by the Han army!

"This does make some sense!"

Li Cunxiao whispered, "But keeping them is a hidden danger after all!"

"Asking them to hand over their military power is equivalent to breaking their arm!"

"Moreover, the children of their clan are still in our hands, which is equivalent to hostages!"

"Let him hand over half of his property, and then cut off one of his arms!"

"How can the castrated gentry have the courage to rebel?"

Qin Yuan sneered, "Also, we have to believe in Bowen's ability and that he can take care of these families well!"

This was also the plan that Qin Yuan and Liu Bowen discussed to deal with the gentry class.
