For Wang Xiao, he would rather let the locals continue to be so chaotic than give others the opportunity to gather strength.

Wang Xiao knew very well what kind of people the so-called Liu Biao and Liu Yan were, the so-called Liu royal relatives.

Simply put, they are actually the same people as Liu Bei, who later became emperor. Once they have the chance, they want to do it themselves.

"Why is this?"

The court officials were very dissatisfied with this and asked Wang Xiao to give an explanation.

Wang Xiao gave a pi an explanation, and he had only one response, if it was not accurate, it was not accurate.

This incident reminded Wang Xiao that he had to establish his own power in the court. Otherwise, it would be annoying for these people to cause trouble all day long.

Cai Yong, Mao Jie, Yang Xiu, Hua Xin and others, who are not of high origin, are not valued at home, or are not partial to the powerful family, will be attracted by Wang Xiao, and thus gradually occupy a high position.

That night, Wang Xiao came to the empress dowager's bedroom and why the empress dowager was cured?

Queen Mother He wanted to explain something, but Wang Xiao didn't want to hear anything.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of curing her, she took revenge on her and refused to let her go no matter how she cried and begged.

Wang Xiao has practiced his marksmanship for many years and is superb. It is only a matter of being able to deal with a mere Empress Dowager He.

When Wang Xiao left the next day, he left a sentence, "Be honest in the future, don't make so many troubles."

Queen Mother He had no choice but to see through everything by Wang Xiao, and could only lie on the bed and stare at Wang Xiao’s leaving back with hatred.

Gao Shun and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry easily restored the imperial court's rule over Bingzhou.

The only Black Mountain Army that could pose a threat had no intention of going down the mountain from beginning to end.

Zhang Yan also sent an envoy to Luoyang City to express his loyalty to Wang Xiao and expressed his willingness to conquer the world for Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao accepted half of Zhang Yan's show of kindness.

He accepted Zhang Yan's success, but refused his proposal to send troops to Jizhou.

Faced with such a bandit, of course, it is impossible to give him the opportunity to expand his power.

Zhang Liao in the south moved faster. He entered Yingchuan County first and threatened the famous families such as the Yingchuan Xun family and Chen family who refused to be recruited by the imperial court.

Force them to hand over 90% of the land they have in exchange for family safety.

Later, he entered Nanyang County from Yingchuan County and easily defeated Yuan Shu and regained this important place.

Nanyang County was one of the five major counties in the Han Dynasty and was the smelting center of the Han Dynasty.

The transportation here is very developed and rich, and it is a well-known and prosperous place in the world.

Correspondingly, the powerful here is very powerful.

When they learned that Wang Xiao's army was coming, these powerful men not only took out a lot of money, grain and iron armor and iron weapons to support Yuan Shu, but also mobilized their children and blacksmith servants from various families to directly join Yuan Shu's army.

Although Yuan Shu's strength has expanded rapidly in a short period of time, how can this temporarily pieced together mob against the regular army?

Zhang Liao defeated Yuan Shu very easily, and almost wiped out his entire army. He could only lead a few confidants to flee to Yangzhou.

The next thing was simple. With the name of ready-made affair and rebellion, Zhang Liao swept the forts of various powerful families in Nanyang County. Many powerful families that had been passed down for a hundred years disappeared.

Except for those heads and direct descendants, other powerful families were sent to the dilapidated Guanzhong branch and farmed, which was probably the land that the Han Dynasty would have been farmed for the rest of its life.

The servants and serfs obtained the land and became self-cultivated farmers.

A large number of blacksmiths were concentrated to smelting and continued to provide raw materials for Luoyang City.

Wang Xiao did not give all the powerful families alike the same size, but gave them a way out.

As long as you do not take the initiative to collude with those rebels, you will get the conditions offered by the court to use money and grain to purchase land.

Although no one is willing to exchange land that can make money every year for not so generous money and food, they don’t have much choice when facing Wang Xiao’s steel knife.

Those who are willing to sell more than 90% of the land can be easily let go.

If you don’t want to, no matter how many years you have passed on, it will end up being the same.

For example, the Xun family in Yingchuan, the Chen family, the Sima family in Hanoi, the Yang family in Hedong, the Wei family in Hedong, etc. are all families that understand the current affairs.

They knew that they did not have the strength to be strong with Wang Xiao, so they chose to stay temporarily and silently waited for the opportunity to make a comeback in the future.

In the eyes of these smart people, no matter how awesome Wang Xiao is, he can't live for ten thousand years. When such a powerful man who is unparalleled will die, he will be able to make a comeback.

The powerful family is not the business of one or two generations. It is the inheritance of generations and dozens of generations, or even dozens of generations.

It is not embarrassing to temporarily lie in the face of the strong. Because the strong will not always exist, and as long as their family still exists, there will always be a chance to rise again.

Those who can understand these can survive, but those who can’t understand can only die.

On that day, Cai Wenji came to the General's Mansion to visit Wang Xiao with Jiao Weiqin.

The reason on the surface was to exchange piano skills, but in fact there were rumors that Wang Xiao intended to let her father Cai Yong be the governor of Jingzhou, so he came to inquire about the relevant situation.

The personal guards in the General's mansion knew her, and many people thought she would be the future mistress, so they came to the backyard smoothly.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I heard a strange "moving and squeaking" sound.

Xu Zhu, who was on the rotation today, reported that he would come out to pay a greeting after a while, "The lord asked Miss Cai to come in."

When he walked into the room, Cai Wenji saw the bright and charming Diao Chan taking a team of dancers dancing with a cheerful but never seen before.

"Please sit down." Wang Xiao waved his hand to greet her, "You are here. There are wines brought back by the caravan from the Western Regions. Come and try them."

"Thank you, General."

Cai Wenji looked around and didn't see Xiahou Qingyi, who was once the strongest opponent. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The sour and cool taste was good.

The musicians in the corridors on both sides beat the new instruments in their hands rhythmically, while Wang Xiao came to the venue with a wine glass and danced around with the rhythm.

Although I have never seen such a novel dance, Cai Wenji still watched it with relish.

At this moment, Wang Xiao looked no different from a treacherous minister who was addicted to wine and sex.

After the song ended, Wang Xiao pulled Diao Chan back to his seat and sat down, Cai Wenji asked curiously.

"General, how dare you ask what kind of dance this is? Could it be that it came from the Western Regions?"

"This is called discotheque, which can effectively relieve stress and make people feel excited. It is not wrong to say that it was from the Western Regions."

Cai Wenji silently wrote down the name of the new dance music, thinking that when she went back, she would ask someone to ask if anyone could do it in the caravans from the Western Regions, and she had to learn it well.

Women in ancient times had a low status, which did not mean that their wisdom was not good.

Since Cai Wenji has made up her mind to take Wang Xiao as her target, it is natural to take what she likes.

Drinking and chatting, professor Wang Xiao plays the piano.

When he was about to say goodbye, Cai Wenji finally asked about Cai Yong.

"You go back and tell Mr. Cai that this is true. Let him be prepared and set off at any time. When you arrive in Jingzhou, cooperate with Zhang Liao to stabilize Jingzhou."

Cai Wenji, who received the exact answer, bowed and said goodbye, but Wang Xiao stopped her before leaving.

"Mr. Cai went to Jingzhou to take office, and his official duties are busy. Don't follow me. Stay here in Luoyang City and continue to teach me how to do piano skills?"

Cai Wenji blushed and blessed with a blessing. "Yes."

When Cai Wenji left, Diao Chan, who poured wine for Wang Xiao, said softly, "Is Miss Cai the future mistress of the General's Mansion?"

"Don't say that, what's the good about getting married? It's tiring and troublesome. You have to give gifts to take care of your emotions during festivals. Isn't it good to be a close friend like this now?"

If Cai Wenji heard this, she would probably be irritated to death.

If she were the homegirls who traveled through time in later generations, she would immediately put a label on Wang Xiao’s forehead.

‘Scum!’

Wang Xiao is definitely not a scumbag, and he has never written a scumbag manual. He is a close and good person.

In a rare leisure time, he took Diao Chan, Xiahou Qingyi and Cai Wenji to travel around.

I listen to the bell in the White Horse Temple in the morning, read the scenery on Longmen Mountain at noon, and look at the sunset on Mang Mountain at the west when the sunset is setting.

"It's a pity that Longmen Grottoes have not opened yet." Looking at the sunset slowly falling in the distance, Wang Xiao shook his head with some regret. "I thought the tickets were expensive when I went there last time. I didn't go to see them. Now I have the chance to see them for free, but I haven't started building them yet. I'm depressed."

Without the autocracy of relatives, without the eunuchs' interference in politics, without the disaster of imprisonment.

The emperor was young and the empress dowager was stupid. The ministers of this dynasty were surprised to find that they were actually in the best era.

It would be even better if it weren't for that general.

Without fighting for power and profit, the court can finally operate normally.

The poor people in the place who were oppressed to breathe and were suffering when they were alive. After Wang Xiao vigorously wiped out the powerful families in various places and distributed them to their fields, he finally lost all his resentment. He happily took care of his own fields.

If Zhang Jiao came to call on the people of these places to rise up and resist the Han Dynasty at this time, he would probably be directly sent to the government.

When the Yellow Turbans were in trouble before, everyone had nothing, so naturally they were not afraid of losing anything again.

But now every family has land and land. Seeing that good days are coming, who will follow Zhang Jiao when they are crazy.

Those who have constant property have perseverance. This sentence truly hits the hearts of the people.

Since the great magician Liu Xiu ascended the throne, the great man has never had such a good era.

There is no fighting in the court during the Qingming Festival, the emperor is young and can’t mess around, and the empress dowager does not have any family members who can be granted the title of marquis.

There are no powerful people in the local area who control life and death. The families who take the initiative to hand over 90% of the land also clamp up their tails to be human.

The people live and work in peace, and the officers and soldiers screamed and looked forward to the war.

Many people are privately saying that even during the reign of Wen Jing, it was just like this.

If the only shortcomings are good, it is that only Sili, Bingzhou and Jingzhou can have this benefit for the time being.

Among other states and counties, the powerful families were afraid that Wang Xiao would take away their land and crazily exploit the people to accumulate strength. As a result, countless people fled to the territory of the court with their families.

When the people of the Kanto prefectures and counties called for the army of the court to rescue them and distribute the fields for them.
