Huang Quan was somewhat anxious.
At least on the surface, Huang Quan is responsible for the land transfer in Yongzhou, and the targets he faces are not just the Yizhou family. As long as the Jingzhou family is willing to pay the same number of ding, they are also eligible to purchase land in Yongzhou. of.
Huang Quan does have selfish motives. He really just wants the Yizhou family to take advantage of this, so he has been resisting the pressure from Jingzhou and not giving any land to the Jingzhou family.
But now, the Yizhou Family's desire to buy is really not that good. If they continue to hide it and prevent the Jingzhou Family from entering, then Zhang Xi should probably come and talk to him.
Therefore, Huang Quan quickly wrote a private letter and had it sent to Chengdu, giving an ultimatum to the Li family in Chengdu.
Ah, if you really don’t want it, then don’t blame me for being unkind and letting the Jingzhou family enter! ! !
Regarding Huang Quan's ultimatum, Li Yu, the head of the Li family in Chengdu, did not rush to give an answer.
In fact, Li Yu also had his own plans for the current situation.
Yongzhou is now short of people. Everyone can see this clearly, and everyone is also clear about the purpose of Zuo Fengyi's farmland plan.
The imperial court came to an end, using the method of interest exchange instead of directly forcibly relocating people to implement Guanzhong. The purpose was simply not to cause too much turmoil.
But in this era, without causing turmoil for the people, there are still enough Dingkou to enrich the people in Guanzhong. Apart from aristocratic families from all over the country, there is no other choice.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the court was seeking help from the aristocratic family.
In this case, why was the aristocratic family forced to carve out its hidden Dingkou in exchange for the right to purchase land in Yongzhou? !
Li Yu didn't know what the Wang family was thinking, but he, the Li family, had discussed it with the Yang family, and the Liu family, and would never obey the court's arrangements so obediently.
Therefore, Li Yu not only contacted the Liu family, the Yang family and the Zhang family, who were also from Yizhou aristocratic families, he even sent people to send letters to Jingzhou and made some small arrangements with the Ma family, Pang family, Kuai family and Pan family in Jingzhou. The transaction was agreed together to suspend the purchase of land in Yongzhou.
Li Yu didn't believe it. Now that Liu Bei died and Liu Chan ascended the throne at a young age, Cao Wei and Jiangdong would miss such a good opportunity.
Even if a war cannot be launched, there will certainly be some small-scale border frictions.
And once that time comes, judging from the current defense method of Yongzhou, which is light on the left and heavy on the right, the defense of the Zuofengyi area will inevitably be tight. At that time, it will be the time for the Yizhou and Jingzhou families to unite and bargain with the court.
Do you want to satisfy the aristocratic families in Jingyi and Jingyi with just 10,000 hectares of land? ! They also have to use the hidden Dingkou accumulated over decades in exchange for land qualification. Is the court's idea a little too beautiful? !
Once the war ahead becomes tense, the imperial court will eventually demand the responsibility of aristocratic families such as his own. At that time, it will be the aristocratic families who have the final say on how much land Zuo Fengyi wants to transfer and how the transaction will be carried out.
As for the two to three thousand hectares of land that the three major families had redeemed before, they were just a means to appease the court and prevent the court from becoming suspicious.
To be honest, Li Yu still felt sorry for Ding Kou, who was hiding in his family, and couldn't bear to let them out.
After all, farming requires people. If there is no one to help them farm, no matter how much land they win, it will be in vain.
Another thing is that in a border state like Yongzhou, even if you take over the land and send people to manage the farming, you will definitely send a large number of hidden Dingkou. Once the Yongzhou governor Zhang Xi turns his back, he will need to prepare for the border war. , and swallowed his own hidden penis, then Mrs. Li had no place to cry.
As for Zhang Yuanchang, a boy from a poor family, he has always disliked the wealthy families. He has really done this kind of thing.
Li Yu didn't want to make a wedding dress for Zhang Yuanchang in vain because of the inheritance he finally left in Yongzhou.
Therefore, Li Yu contacted most of the aristocratic families in central Shu and some of the aristocratic families in Jingzhou, preparing to wait and see what would happen, waiting for the imperial court to come to him in person.
One thing to say, Li Yu's method is indeed good. Nowadays, Yongzhou's defense is indeed a bit heavy-handed. It is indeed a fact that Yongzhou is short of people. After Liu Bei's death, it is not impossible for Cao Wei to make changes to Yongzhou. If If these aristocratic families continue to stand still, things may not develop as Li Yu expected.
But the problem is that Li Yu also made his own mistakes, that is - he overestimated the influence and status of the Li family in Shu.
Indeed, the Li family can be said to be the first family in Shu, but the problem is that the Li family is not the leading family in Shu.
Apart from anything else, the Wang family is a family that is not much different in size from the Li family, and not all the aristocratic families in Shu are willing to obey the Li family's orders.
Another one. You, the Li family, are just from a Yizhou family. Even if you are willing to pay in exchange for benefits, the families in Jingzhou may not have 100% trust and cooperation with you.
The land released by Yongzhou was not much to begin with. You, the Yizhou family, took one-third of it first, and the Jingzhou family was not allowed to touch the remaining two-thirds. You said you should just wait and see what happens. You, the Jingzhou family, are all fools.
Because the Jingzhou family was not willing to pay a small fortune in exchange for the right to land in Yongzhou, and Li Yu's plan sounded somewhat feasible, the Jingzhou family was just going north to test it out, and had no intention of taking action easily.
But the problem is that if you don’t take action, someone will naturally take action.
Li Yu's opponent this time is not Liu Zhang, who has no decisiveness, but Zhuge Liang. The layout and strategies of the two are not on the same level.
Who is Zhuge Liang? A person who has been able to rule a country and be admired for thousands of years. Can you, the head of a noble family, compare to you? !
Another one, did Zhuge Liang really do nothing after returning to Chengdu? !
Li Yu had just communicated his plans to the major families, and the next day Zhuge Liang had already obtained all of Li Yu's plans.
Zhuge Liang was happy at that time that there was such a good person, and he dared to think about how to divide and alienate the relationships between these aristocratic families, so Li Yu sent the hilt of the knife himself.
Okay, if you, Li Yu, are willing to wait, then let's wait. Let's see who will beg whom in the future.
And just when Li Yu contacted the Jingzhou aristocratic families and suspended the land acquisition plan for Yongzhou, under Zhuge Liang's instruction, the Zhang family in Shu suddenly expressed their stance to the court, willing to release all the 25,000 Dingkou hidden by the Zhang family in Shu. The four thousand hectares of fields owned by the Zhang family in Shu were replaced by the four thousand hectares of fields in Yongzhou.
The Zhang family in Shuzhong no longer plans to stay in Shuzhong, and plans to become the Zhang family in Yongzhou.
Li Yu was completely caught off guard by this move.
Who would have thought that the Zhang family in Sichuan would actually become a traitor. Zhang Shen, an old boy, actually rebelled at such a critical moment.
To be honest, Zhang Shen didn't want to do it either, but why did Zhuge Liang believe that Huang Yuan's rebellion was just the work of Zhang Shen's three sons and had nothing to do with the Zhang family in Shu? !
If you, Zhang, didn't pay a price, could Zhuge Liang let you go so easily? !
On the surface, Zhuge Liang enforces the law strictly and will not accuse people unjustly without sufficient evidence. But in fact, it was Zhang Shen who took the initiative to surrender and became Zhuge Liang's internal agent, which in exchange for the safety of the Zhang family.
But Zhang Shen is not easy to be an internal agent. If there is any disturbance within the family, Zhang Shen must inform Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang also has his own information channels. If the information given by Zhang Shen does not match what Zhuge Liang has, he will be unlucky in the end. Still from the Zhang family.
This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang already knew everything about Li Yu's plan to counterattack the imperial court.
But this time, Zhuge Liang asked Zhang Shen to jump directly and gave Zhang Shen the opportunity to establish another branch in Yongzhou. After some careful consideration, Zhang Shen gritted his teeth and agreed.
For no other reason than to think of himself as a second-generation son, if the major families in Shu knew about it, then the Zhang family would not have any foothold in Shu.
It would be better to simply move the family northward and go to Yongzhou to establish a separate family for development. Anyway, Zhuge Liang also agreed to Zhang Shen and let Zhang Xi take care of the Zhang family as compensation for cooperating with Zhuge Liang this time.
However, Zhang Shen's sudden counterattack and Li Yu's response routine of taking away four thousand hectares of land by changing the location was completely messed up.
If nothing else, what can the Jingzhou family do? !
There are only 10,000 hectares of land in total. You Shuzhong family took away 3,000 hectares at first, saying it was to deal with the imperial court, so that the imperial court could take out Zuo Fengyi’s 30,000 hectares of land and give it to the family for distribution. But now you have taken away another four thousand hectares. What do you mean? !
If we continue to wait like this, won't our Jingzhou family have to watch helplessly as your Yizhou family carves up the land in Yongzhou, and in the end we won't even be able to drink soup? !
I know you Yizhou bumpkins can’t believe it! ! !
Zhang Shen's entire family moved north, which directly triggered a chain effect, leading to the bankruptcy of the alliance between the Jingzhou family and the Yizhou family.
Within the Yizhou family, there were quite a few disagreements because of Zhang Shen's sudden rebellion.
There was only a small amount of land in total, and the Zhang family took away nearly half of it at once, and even moved the whole family northward. There was no shortage of both land and people. Maybe in the future, they might become the largest family in Yongzhou.
If you continue to listen to Li Yu and continue to stand still like this, then I am afraid that your family will have to continue to guard the poor place of Yizhou and continue to be the southwestern country bumpkins.
Fortunately, big aristocratic families like the Li family, Liu family, and Yang family can at least keep their composure and know where their foundation lies. But some small and medium-sized aristocratic families are not so calm.
In addition, there are rumors that the Wang family is communicating with Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the dynasty, to discuss the possibility of the Wang family moving north. If the Wang family is allowed to get involved, then the small and medium-sized aristocratic families in Sichuan will not be able to stand out in Yongzhou at all. Opportunity.
Then. Well, Huang Quan will be busy.
