But their movements were still one step slower than Liu Wu.

After Liu Yi got the list that day, he began to arrest the squires on the list that night.

Three days later.

“My Lord, according to your orders, all the country gentlemen on the list have been arrested!”

Then Liu Wu heard someone shouting and scolding.

“Liu Wu !!!”

“You must not die well!”

“I tell you, my uncle is an official at the foot of the Son of Heaven, you dare to kill me?”

“My brother is also an official at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and if you kill me, you won’t live long.”

For a while it was all shouting.

Liu Wu said lightly.

“Pull it all out and kill it!”

Liu Wu didn’t even look at those people.

Liu Yi hesitated.

“My Lord, isn’t it a little inappropriate to kill them all?”

“The imperial court will definitely hold it accountable!”

Liu Wu glanced at Liu Yi.

“We first controlled Liu Yan, then destroyed Gongsun Zhan, and then waited for the entire Youzhou country gentry clan to be offended, and the imperial court will not look for us?”

“Kill them all!”

Liu nodded.

Those country gentry clans originally thought that as long as they moved out of the imperial court, they could scare Liu Wu, then they and the others would be safe.

Who knows, Liu Wu’s goods are completely stunned.

Some of the squires began to be afraid to beg for mercy.

“No, I don’t want to die yet, please let me go!”

“I don’t want the fields, and I confiscate the family’s property, as a military expense, let me go!”

Liu Yi said coldly.

“It’s late now!”

“Get ready to hit the road!”

Watching a person’s head fall, those country gentry clan intestines were repentant, and there was nothing to provoke Liu Wu to do.

Liu Wu’s killing of chickens and monkeys this time was very fruitful, and the country gentlemen of Youzhou suddenly quieted down.

The squires who originally wanted to leave Youzhou were silent and did not leave.

Because they were afraid that before they left Youzhou, they were arrested by Liu Wu.

Liu Wu was also very satisfied with this result, so he began his next plan.

The Tuntian system was implemented.

With more and more soldiers and horses under his command, it must not be a long-term solution to rely on collecting grain and grass from below every year.

At that time, not only will the people be miserable, but the soldiers may not be able to eat.

So Liu Wu thought of the tuntian system.

Liu Wu forced the peasants or soldiers to cultivate the fields collected from the gentry tribes, and then levied a certain amount of rent.

It happened that when he destroyed the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, he captured a lot of agricultural tools, which can come in handy.

There are two types of tuntian systems, one is civilian tun and the other is military tun.

For every 50 people in the people’s tun, there are 1 tun, and the harvest of official cattle and agricultural tools is six and four people.

The government and the people who use private cattle and agricultural tools are divided.

Farmers in Tuntian are not allowed to leave Tuntian casually.

The military tun consisted of soldiers in the tuntian, and 60 people were the 1st battalion, which was guarded while the tuntian was held.

Moreover, Liu Wu also thought that now that the yellow turban is in trouble, and the displaced people are everywhere, he can also take advantage of this.

Accept displaced persons, and if they come to join him, they will be placed in houses and exempted from taxes for one year.

But he had to stay in Youzhou for three years and plant land for him for three years.

With food, drink, and houses to live in, those displaced people will naturally migrate to Youzhou.

With so many people planting their own land, there will naturally be no shortage of food and grass.

And if you want to recruit troops yourself, there will be no one to recruit.

Liu Wu wrote these down and handed them to Liu Yi.

“Go and let Liu Yan promulgate it!”

After Liu Yan saw what Liu Wu wrote, he couldn’t help but sigh.

“Liu Wu, this guy, this is a wizard.”

“It seems that this guy’s ambition is not a county!”

As soon as the tuntian system was promulgated, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire Youzhou.

At the same time, some displaced people who received news poured into Youzhou.

For a time, the population of the entire Youzhou increased dramatically, and the originally abandoned fields were also used.

Liu Yi and the others couldn’t help but marvel.

“My Lord, O man of God!”

“In this way, the two problems of food and grass and conscription have been solved!”

……

Luoyang Imperial Capital.

Today’s court is very strange, the name of the person that Emperor Hanling heard the most is Liu Wu.

A character whose real name is unknown would offend so many clansmen.

“Your Majesty, this Liu Wu imprisoned the imperial court officials without authorization, and privately executed the generals of the imperial court, this person can no longer stay.”

“If you don’t fight, I am afraid that you will have troops and self-respect in the future.”

Another official continued.

“yes!”

“The minister heard that he still privately promulgated a tuntian system in Youzhou, which swallowed up the fields of many gentry clans, and then distributed it to the peasants below, so that the peasants could help him cultivate the land.”

“This is obviously to take advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court can’t free its hand, rebel!”

Then an official cried.

“And that Liu Wu also killed my brother because my brother didn’t want to hand over the land.”

“Your Majesty, you are going to be our master!”

Emperor Han Ling’s face was ugly.

“There is such a rebellious person!”

Then Emperor Han Ling said.

“But Huangfu Song and Zhu Yan are still clearing the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, and they can’t pull out!”

“It’s better to send an envoy to deter first, if that Liu Wu doesn’t listen, but has the opposite intention, it’s not too late to send troops to suppress it.”
