Chapter 133 Ye Chen’s big move!"What does Zhongde mean by this?"
Guo Jia was surprised to hear that Cheng Yu actually agreed to take Yangzhou first.
Even if Zang Ba surrendered, the number of soldiers under Ye Chen would only be around 130,000.
Such troops.
Once we capture Yangzhou, we will no longer be able to capture Qingzhou.
after all.
Next to Xuzhou are Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Yuan Shu of Yuzhou.
Both of them are great princes with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under their command.
The troops left behind in Xuzhou must not be reduced.
"There are some things that Fengxiao may not know yet!"

Cheng Yu said to Guo Jia with a chuckle.
For a moment, seeing that Cheng Yu and Guo Jia had different opinions, Ye Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it after Zang Ba's matter is over."
Although Ye Chen had already made up his mind, he did not say it out loud at this moment.
As long as Zang Ba of Langya County is not eliminated,
It is equivalent to placing a mine that can explode at any time in Xuzhou.
He must deal with Zang Ba.
"You two go down first, Zizhong, come with me!"
He said this to Cheng Yu and Guo Jia.
The next moment, his eyes turned to Mi Zhu in front of him.
Upon hearing this, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu both bowed and left.
After leaving the governor's mansion, Guo Jia couldn't help but walk towards Cheng Yu out of curiosity.
"Zhongde, what is it that I don't know?"
There must be something that could make Cheng Yu make a choice opposite to his own, which Guo Jia didn't know.
"Fengxiao, didn't you ask before where the lord's food and grass came from?"
After patting Guo Jia on the shoulder, Cheng Yu said nothing more.
The reason why he agreed to let Ye Chen go south was very simple.
Only go south to Yangzhou.
Only then can you build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king.

He remembered Ye Chen's nine-word secret clearly.
At the same time, in the governor's mansion.
"My lord, I don't know what it is. Can I help you solve your problem?"
Mi Zhu was left alone, which made him very nervous.
Ye Chen is now completely different from before. !
Now that the Mi family has clung to this powerful person, they naturally have to hold on to him tightly.
"Zi Zhong, don't be nervous!"
After comforting Mi Zhu, Ye Chen went straight to the point and started asking questions.
"Zi Zhong, I heard that your Mi family owns tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. I wonder how much it produces?"
As soon as this question was asked, Mi Zhu's body trembled.
"My Lord, we do have some good farmland at home, but it has not been registered. I will go back and send someone to..."
"Zi Zhong misunderstood!"
Seeing that Mi Zhu was about to offer his family’s land, Ye Chen waved his hand to interrupt him.
He understands.
These aristocratic families, as well as wealthy businessmen and local tycoons, all own large amounts of land.
The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The reason why people were living in misery was the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
In fact, the fundamental reason is that the aristocratic families have annexed too much land.
If we count the dynasties carefully, we will find that every dynasty that was destroyed had a large number of land annexation incidents.
The aristocratic families annexed large amounts of land, causing the people to be displaced and starving, which led to the outbreak of a large-scale uprising.
The same was true of the Eastern Han court.
Therefore, Ye Chen was also clear about these aristocratic families under his command.
There is no end to the aristocratic families in the world.
After defeating one group, the group that followed him would also become a new family.
Although the aristocratic families are hateful, it is impossible to solve the land problem by destroying them.
and.
If Ye Chen really started to destroy the aristocratic family, he believed it.
It won't be long before all the people under his command will flee. Gu Yong is from the Gu family of Jiangdong, Cheng Yu is from the Cheng family of Yanzhou, and Guo Jia is from the Guo family of Yingchuan.
As for Mi Zhu, Chen Deng and others, there is no need to explain them, as they are all from local aristocratic families in Xuzhou.

If he kills them all, how can Ye Chen still compete for the world!
"What do you mean, lord?"
Mi Zhu looked at Ye Chen in front of him with confusion. For a moment, he was a little confused about what Ye Chen meant.
"Starting tomorrow, I will ask Yuan Tan to count all the land under Xuzhou's command!"
"Register all the land!"
Ye Chen looked at Mi Zhu in front of him.
"Zi Zhong, all the good land under your command will be yours, and you don't have to pay any taxes anymore!"
Ye Chen said lightly.
Hearing these words, Mi Zhu felt as if a thunderclap had struck him.
"My lord, what about you?"
Mi Zhu was shocked when he heard Ye Chen say that they didn't have to pay taxes anymore.
Did the Lord treat them so well?
To know!
Even the fertile fields under the control of the Mi family seemed to have been acquired through mergers and acquisitions.
For Ye Chen, who came from the Yellow Turban Army, this was definitely the most disgusting thing.
after all.
The land they annexed was not registered.
That is, there is no need to pay taxes to the government.
These are also called black households.
Ye Chen's words were telling everyone that all the illegal residents under his command had been legalized.
"Zi Zhong, listen to me!"
Ye Chen could imagine Mi Zhu's excitement, but he was not a fool either.
He can give the family's land and population to the other party.
But the aristocratic families must agree to what he wants.
"Tell all the great families in Xuzhou!"
"After today, anyone who invades the farmland will be beheaded!"
After hearing this, Mi Zhu also understood Ye Chen's plan.
However, he was a little worried about Ye Chen.
Even if Ye Chen issues strict orders, it will probably be difficult to stop the noble families from annexing the land.
Mi Zhu didn't know that Ye Chen had already spread the bait and was waiting for the aristocratic families to take the bait.
With Mi Zhu's departure, orders concerning Ye Chen were also spread in Xuzhou.

For a time, the entire Xuzhou area, whether it was the major families or the wealthy people, were all in a state of excitement.
Ye Chen actually legalized the private land that they had annexed.
and.
As long as you join the noble family under Ye Chen, all your private land will not have to pay any taxes.
Once this order is issued, all the aristocratic families in Xuzhou will be grateful to Ye Chen.
To know.
Even when Tao Qian was in power, he won over many aristocratic families.
They still need to pay a certain amount of tax on the land under their control.
Even though there is a certain tax-free amount, their family owns too much land.
That's right.
There are so many of them that they have to hide their private land.
In just one week, all the aristocratic families in the entire Xuzhou were praising Ye Chen and supporting him very much.
Only Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and others who understood Ye Chen's character frowned.
In the governor's mansion.
"Zhongde, what do you think is Marshal Ye's intention behind this move?"
Guo Jia, who is known for his strategy, was a little confused at this moment.
Ye Chen did this even to win over the world's aristocratic families.
It shouldn't be like this.
To know.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the aristocratic families had annexed too much land.
If they were all really exempt from tax, Xuzhou's finances would definitely be in trouble.
Guo Jia didn't understand.
What is Ye Chen's purpose?
