Turbulent Times Chapter 896: Benefits dictate

During the argument between the father and son of the Han family, there were similar disputes among the other nobles in Changxiang County who had just dispersed in their carriages, and most of them made the same decision in the end——send the children of the family Go to Lu's Academy to study.

…

…

"Ziming, what do you think the nobles in Changxiang County are thinking now?"

At the same time, on the four-wheeled carriage of Wang Junlin and his party heading for the county, Wang Junlin summoned Liu Ziming to discuss matters in the same carriage.

Winning other nobles in Fanyang County except for the Lu family was the general policy Wang Junlin set before he came to Fanyang County. When comparing the information, we know that in this era, if we want to completely defeat a certain noble family, and prevent the local situation from deteriorating, and do not let ourselves suffer too much loss, we must unite or use other nobles to deal with this noble family. The power of Fanyang County is too great, and it is necessary to almost unite other nobles except Lu family to deal with Lu family.

"The lower officials are afraid that these local nobles are the same as the Lu family. Although they are frightened by the power of the adults and dare not disobey the wishes of the adults, they secretly inform the Lu family." Compared with Xu Jingzong, the overall progress in the past few years is still great, especially the overall situation and logical thinking ability are far beyond ordinary people.

Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "This time in Changxiang County, except for Feng Xiaoyong, who is under my name, I have never expected to let them follow me to deal with them in just one day. Lu Shi. However, they will not inform Lu Shi, but there is an eternal reason for this, Ziming, think about the reason."

Wang Junlin's last sentence was obviously meant to test the teachings. Liu Ziming did not dare to neglect, frowned and pondered for a while, and said with some hesitation: "Could it be because of the loss of interests?"

Wang Junlin showed a gratified smile on his face, nodded his head in affirmation, and said: "Yes, it is indeed a loss of interests. If all the grain, goods, money, etc. produced in Fanyang County are used as long as people want The things of the Lu family can be regarded as one big... pastry, and then divided into multiple parts. The common people ignore it for the time being. Now the Lu family roughly accounts for half of the pastry, and the court tax may account for a quarter, and the other quarter One of them is occupied by all the other nobles.”

Speaking of this, Wang Junlin paused for a moment, looked at the thoughtful Liu Ziming, and continued: "Therefore, among the nobles in Fan Yang, it is absolutely impossible to be monolithic, because every family wants more pastries. In fact, I believe that the Lu family has always been popular among the common people, because the Lu family is a great Confucian family, and they like to share a little of the cakes they get with the common people, so that the common people will appreciate them. But I believe that other nobles in Fanyang County secretly Lu's attitude is only hatred and jealousy. If one day I cut down and uproot this big Lu's tree, the other nobles in Fanyang County will only applaud, and then reach out to help me uproot the Lu's tree together, and Do your best to grab as many cakes as Lu's vacated."

"So as long as I show that I have the ability to uproot the Lu family tree, and extend my hand to other nobles in Fanyang County, there will definitely be some nobles who are willing to help me. Blame them, even the smallest noble in a county has hundreds of people in a clan, so it is reasonable for a patriarch to think about it more safely."

"It's just that this process is too slow, so my lord forcibly lured them to my chariot. This is the reason why I forcibly asked several nobles in Changxiang County to get their nephews to come over." Following Wang Junlin's explanation , Liu Ziming suddenly realized.

Wang Junlin was satisfied that Liu Ziming was able to understand his meaning so quickly, but there was another aspect that Liu Ziming might not have thought of yet.

The things he did in Changxiang County will inevitably leave suspicion in Lu's heart. With the behavior habits of a thousand-year-old family like Lu's, after the incident in Changxiang County, it will definitely affect all other nobles. Doubt, and the Lu family has a big business and a large population. Even if the old foxes such as Lu Bian, who are in charge, understand the key points, ordinary Lu children do not have such a city, and they will definitely show this suspicion when facing other nobles, thus It made other nobles feel more disgusted, and the reverse behavior would intensify Lu's suspicion. In the end, other nobles were subtly pushed to the opposite side by Lu, and finally dealt with Lu together with Wang Junlin.

In short, what Wang Junlin did in Changxiang County is bound to cause an uproar in Fanyang County.

Originally, the amiable Fan Yang nobles, whether they like it or not, will be suspicious. Lu suspects that other small nobles have already taken refuge in the new prefect, and the small nobles will doubt whether the other party has also taken refuge. The new prefect, and those little nobles who were suspected by Lu Shi, would definitely be worried about Lu Shi's angry revenge, so they could only be forced to hug Wang Junlin's thick enough thigh.

"It's still the same sentence, the Lu family is our biggest enemy at present, and to deal with this difficult enemy, we must unite all forces that can be united, and divide all those who may become Lu's power."

"These little nobles are the main force we use to deal with the Lu family, and they will also fill the gap left by uprooting the big tree of the Lu family in the future, so as to avoid the collapse of the sky and the ground, we need them to help govern the place. But except Besides them, what I value more are the more than 700,000 people in Fanyang County who are not taken seriously by noble officials. Among these common people, I especially value those merchants and craftsmen. The power in your hands."

Following the smooth implementation of the previous general policy plan in Changxiang County and the expected results, Wang Junlin was concerned about how to get rid of Lu Shi, the local emperor of Fanyang County, and firmly controlled Fanyang County in his own hands. Seize the time to accumulate strength, and gradually have a very clear idea.

The Lu family is not only the biggest nobleman in Fan Yang, but also the biggest businessman in Fan Yang, even though they have nothing to do with demeaning and discriminating against businessmen. For example, at least half of the main industries such as salt, iron, silk, porcelain, and tea in Fanyang County are in the hands of Lu.

"Actually, besides nobles, merchants, craftsmen, and ordinary people, there is another force that should not be underestimated, and that is those warriors in the martial arts world. Now these people have been used by us, but Lu Shi didn't know that those little nobles also I don’t know, I always thought that I was new here, and I could mobilize the hundred guards I brought, and this was our trump card.”

When Wang Junlin told Liu Ziming, it was actually a process of sorting out and thinking in his own mind.
