Bu Zhi explained the situation in Yizhou in detail in the memorial.
The most difficult problem is the problem of powerful noble families. Although these nobles had to surrender under the iron-blooded hand of Jingjun and gave up all their land, they kept making small moves.
But these small actions are not fatal and cannot be punished with death.
The most important thing is that even if they are sentenced to death, there are still people who will die for money. Using high-pressure measures is not a long-term strategy. A plan must be found to target these powerful nobles.
Li Ru said: "Yizhou powerful people have been entrenched in the local area for many years. The situation is complicated and the prestige is very high. Some ignorant people do not know the importance and dare to throw any money at Zishan's knife edge. If high-pressure measures are used, Yizhou will lose its power. The people's support, but if we leave it alone, the land will be taken back by these powerful men again." Li Ru shook his head as he spoke, "Zishan is really in trouble."
Jia Xu said: "It seems that Yizhou's powerful men will not shed tears when they see the coffin."
Liu Ye read the content in the memorial and said: "Every time you learn a lesson, you will gain wisdom. These powerful men do not dare to touch the head, so they operate in secret and let these common people act as the leaders. Their idea is very simple, even if Zishan wants to kill these people The people were shocked, but they could only be shocked for a while, and soon they would grow again. Only by completely eradicating the hope of these powerful people can these diseases be eradicated."
Jia Xu stood up and said: "When we enter the palace to meet the king, we all have an idea in mind. The root of Yizhou's problem is still the powerful. If we can disintegrate them, don't let them collude and let them defeat themselves."
Li Ru and Liu Ye also stood up.
Everyone went to Prince Jing's palace.
August 15th is almost here.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no concept of Mid-Autumn Festival. The word Mid-Autumn Festival first appeared in "Li" of Zhou. "Li of Zhou·Yue Ling" said that "the moon of Mid-Autumn is used to nourish the elderly and eat rice porridge." 'However, it was the late Tang Dynasty that really established the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Zhang Xiu, who came from later generations, felt that the Mid-Autumn Festival was a good time for family reunions, and was ready to issue an order to the whole country to promote this festival. The palace took the lead first and began to prepare things for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
When Jia Xu and others entered the palace, Zhang Xiu was telling Huang Yueying what to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After learning that they had entered the palace, he ordered Su Jin to take them to the study pavilion to wait for their arrival.
After explaining the details that needed to be paid attention to during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Xiu came to the Study Pavilion. Jia Xu and others thought about several strategies while waiting. When they saw Zhang Xiu coming in, everyone bowed.
Zhang Xiu raised his hand and said with a smile: "Pingsheng! How is the household department sorting out the money and food sent from Yizhou?"
Jia Xu said: "Back to the king, we are sorting it out." After saying that, he handed the memorial sent by Bu Zhi to Zhang Xiu, "The memorial sent by Zishan shows that Yizhou's powerful and evil villains are not dead, and Zishan is struggling in Yizhou." .”
Zhang Xiu read the memorial carefully, his face expressionless.
Then he put the memorial on the table at hand and looked at the three of them: "What do you think should be the appropriate way to handle this matter?"
Jia Xu spoke first: "I believe that the reason why Yizhou's powerful people dare to do this is because the Yizhou powerful people are colluding and fighting against us with the idea that the law will not punish everyone. We can fight some of them and win over others. Gradually dismantle them."
Zhang Xiu nodded: "This is a good method. Those who can seize the handle can use high-pressure methods to force them to turn back to the powerful team and stand with us. As for those who are hard-headed and determined to do the right thing, then go with Let’s compare the butcher knives to see which one is my knife, or his head is stronger.”
Li Ru pondered and said: "I think the best way is to isolate these powerful people. If they lose their land, they will have no restraint on the people. We allocate land and tax exemptions for the benefit of the people. We can recruit a group of people." Students will be sent to the pavilions in Yizhou counties as pavilion chiefs to govern the people. They can be promoted after two years. In this way, a group of officials can be trained and the people of Yizhou can be well managed."
Zhang Xiu pointed at Li Ru and laughed: "As expected of Li Zhongcheng, this method is perfect."
Not to be outdone, Liu Ye said: "Yizhou people still need to be managed by Yizhou people. We can recruit a group of Yizhou students with both good character and academic performance. This will make it more acceptable to the people of Yizhou."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Zhang Xiu laughed and said three good words in a row, "Then let's take the winning approach: let the bird of prey implement a three-step strategy in Yizhou. First, recruit a group of students with excellent moral character and academic performance to manage the people of Yizhou and isolate these powerful people; The second is to delegate power to the bullies and make strict legislation to specifically deal with these powerful people; the third is to implement the method of hitting a group and pulling a group to completely eradicate these powerful people who stubbornly resist to the end."
"Here!"
The three of them immediately stood up and bowed.
After solving the problem in Yizhou, Zhang Xiu asked again: "I heard that Cao Cao's army is going to Youzhou to eradicate the Yuan family. What is the progress here in Bingzhou?"
Since Bingzhou officials expressed their intention to surrender, Zhang Xiu also sent people to actively communicate.
Lianzhao traveled between the two places again.
Jia Xu said: "It has been discussed. In early August, Xu Shu led the army into Taiyuan County, and the senior officials were already preparing to leave for Chang'an."
Zhang Xiu nodded: "That's good. Ziyang, after we occupy Taiyuan, ask Xu Shu to pay more attention. Be careful of Cao Wei's unexpected surprise attack. We need to send some capable generals to defend the Taihang Eighth Route."
"This is natural."
Liu Ye said, "I have prepared to ask the commanders of each cavalry camp to lead some troops to defend these important roads so that Cao Wei has no chance to take advantage of them."
"Wenyou!"
Zhang Xiu looked at Li Ru and said, "Has the memorial order for the Mid-Autumn Festival been drafted?"
Li Ru: "Back to the king, I have already drafted the memorial order." He took out the memorial book that had been prepared from his sleeve and asked the king to read it.
Su Jin hurriedly took it and handed it to Zhang Xiu.
I saw neat handwriting written in the memorial: "The Rites of Zhou says: 'Autumn Twilight and Evening Moon'. The round moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival signifies people's reunion. It can convey thoughts of homesickness, express feelings for relatives, and pray for a good harvest." , happiness. Therefore, we call upon the world that every August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival."
After reading it, Zhang Xiu nodded: "Yes, but the details of the Mid-Autumn Festival must also be included so that the people know how to celebrate this festival."
Li Ru: "Here!"
"alright!"
Zhang Xiu stood up.
Others stood up soon after.
"The strategy discussed today will be sent to Chengdu as soon as possible so that the people of Yizhou can celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. You should also go back and prepare!"
"Here!"
Everyone resigned.
After they exited, Zhang Xiu braced himself and walked towards the backyard, thinking about his aunt Zou in his mind.
Because of her special status, Zhang Xiu has not been able to give her a formal title so far. Although Mr. Zou has not mentioned this matter, it is not an option to continue like this in the long run.
Thinking in his mind, he unknowingly arrived at the gate of Zou's palace.
Weichi Palace.
As soon as she arrived at the palace gate, she met Zou's personal maid. The maid was also startled and hurriedly knelt down: "I pay my respects to the prince!"
Zhang Xiu: "Get up!" He raised his legs and walked in.
