You don't need to ask Xiao Han to know that the emperor will definitely agree to Ma Zhou's request, send this sharp blade to Shandong, and then watch with interest as it pierces into the hearts of those ancient families bit by bit!
As for the resistance from those aristocratic families?
Xiao Han felt that after the previous two steps of calculation, apart from the opposition in the court that would make the emperor a little unhappy, other things such as flag-raising and rebellion were really unlikely to happen again!
The best generals of the Tang Dynasty were driven around by Li Shimin like nails!
The richest businessmen in the Tang Dynasty also began to gear up, preparing to break away from those big families and compete for their own status in the Tang Dynasty.
And mobilize the people?
Just looking at it, it’s not even the peak of the economy yet, but the two places are already filled with refugees! You can know that those people must not have thought about rebellion.
Otherwise, in this year of catastrophe, which is the best time to win over people's hearts, they will not play their good cards to pieces!
The aristocratic family was unwilling to help the victims, not even their own tenants!
Xiao Han couldn't figure out why those aristocratic families, like Shuo Shu, had to store so much food. Are they afraid that they wouldn't have enough to eat?
However, Xiao Han knew one thing.
In this situation, even if the rich just close their doors and ignore the victims of the disaster outside, they will definitely be scolded by countless people as being rich and unkind!
If nothing else, let’s just say that the people who were forced to wander absolutely hated the rich and powerful families inside the high wall!
As for the remaining ordinary families who have some financial resources and can cope with disasters for the time being, they must be miserable and have no good impressions of them anymore!
Under this premise, if Ma Zhou hadn't forgotten to bring his brain with him when he went out, when he arrived in Shandong, he would definitely make people publicize how unkind the local tyrants and evil gentry were!
The family obviously has millions of grains, but they still have nothing. They would rather watch the tenants who work for their family starve to death than provide food for disaster relief!
When such rumors spread to both places, the mass base of these aristocratic families will be almost completely destroyed!
It has lost its mass base and the response of the people.
When those evil gentry from aristocratic families want to raise their arms again, it is estimated that what is waiting is not countless poor people, but Li Ji, Duan Zhixuan and others who were sent to the two places by the emperor earlier and are now idle!
Maybe a few of them have sharpened their knives by now, just waiting for the nobles to jump up and shout, "Princes, generals, and ministers, it's better to have the seed!".
They could lead people into these people's homes openly, pick off their heads, marinate them in lime jars, and present them to the benevolent and holy emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"What a good plan, even natural disasters are taken into account!" Xiao Han sighed in admiration, and suddenly felt that there was a vague smell of familiarity in this calculation.
"So who designed this drama, and when did he start designing it?"
Rubbing his temples, Xiao Han quickly thought about the people with such abilities one by one in his mind.
Xue Shou? Probably not! Which of my uncles, apart from some harsh words towards my brother-in-law who was trying to force someone into a corner, could definitely be regarded as an upright gentleman in other aspects, and he was not capable of such ruthless calculations.
Fang Xuanling? He had this plan, and his heart was dark enough, but the problem was that his plan was okay, but when it came to putting it all into action, he was still a little short of it, and it was impossible to do it so perfectly!
Wei Zheng?
This guy himself is from Shandong, and unlike Cheng Yaojin, who is just from an ordinary landowner family, his wife is the famous Hedong Pei Shi. Yes, the Pei Shi who has produced many prime ministers!
Don't think that because Wei Zheng dared to offend Yan Zhijian, he was a saint! In fact, in many previous decisions regarding the Shandong gentry, he obviously had the intention of protecting the Shandong gentry! It’s no wonder that after his death, Xiao Lizi opened his coffin and whipped his body!
Therefore, it can basically be ruled out that it is him!
Apart from these three people, there seems to be only one person left!
"Changsun Wuji!" After gently reading the name, a fat and white guy with a smile always appeared in Xiao Han's mind.
To be honest, if he hadn't heard Liu Hongji talk about these things today, he would have almost forgotten that there was such a vicious person in the court!
This guy always pretends to be harmless, but facts have proven that if anyone really thinks of him as a good cat, the consequences will be extremely serious.
"Write a letter and tell Lao Cheng, so that he doesn't have to worry about it. As long as Ma Zhou takes care of the problems faced by the refugees, they will be solved! Let him just stay there and don't worry about anything!"
After standing with Liu Hongji for a long time, the precious daughter over there who was hoeing had had enough of playing. She dropped her little hoe and ran over to Xiao Han for a hug. As for his daughter's request, Xiao Han still agreed to it. He bent down to pick up his daughter, carried her to the door of the shed, and said at the same time.
"Is this Ma Zhou really that powerful?"
After hearing Xiao Han's confident words, Liu Hongji still didn't quite believe it.
He knows that those aristocratic families are powerful! If those aristocratic families really want to join forces to deal with this person, even if this Ma Zhou is an iron man who is invulnerable to water and needles, he probably won't be able to withstand the heat of the aristocratic family's furnace.
Not to mention that at the end, they still have one last trick they can use: I can't drag you down, so I'll find a way to make you disappear completely!
Anyway, for those aristocratic families, if the problem cannot be solved, then solving the person who raised the problem is also a good choice! Because the final outcomes of these two methods are not much different.
"Don't worry, this Ma Zhou won't let you down!" Xiao Han walked to the shed door with his daughter in his arms, pulled off the clothes hanging on the shelf next to him, wrapped his daughter well, and then said quietly: : "But compared to Lao Cheng, you should be more careful in Chang'an recently. If Ma Zhou comes to Shandong, those officials from Shandong will probably go crazy! Don't let you make a mess again."
"Oh!" Liu Hongji nodded doubtfully. Seeing that Xiao Han had already stepped out of the shed, he quickly chased after him and asked:
"How about I pretend to be sick tomorrow?"
Xiao Han kept walking, holding his tightly wrapped daughter in his arms and walking quickly to the bedroom in the back house. Only the erratic voice was carried along by the cold wind.
"Okay! But I plan to go to the firearms camp tomorrow to have a look. It's been so long since I came back, and I haven't even visited my post. I'm really derelict in my duty!"
"Firearms Camp? Me, I'll go too!" Liu Hongji looked at Xiao Han's back, and suddenly felt blessed, grinning and shouting from behind!
