The northwest wind whimpered and the cheeks hurt.

A dock suddenly appeared in the wilderness of the northern land.

The spy reported, "Report to General, the last time he passed here, there was a wilderness around him, and there was no fort at all. I don't know why the fort at the fort ahead appeared."

Xiao Yi rode on the jujube horse, stood on a high place, looking into the distance.

"Liu Baoshun was crazy and released a large army of imperial court based on Liangzhou's troops and horses, wantonly killing aristocratic families and people. The fortress that appeared in front was temporarily built by local families to serve as a fortress to defend the Northern Liang court army. Send people to contact us to see if we can sit down and talk. If we are willing to surrender to our general, we will ensure the safety of this place."

"Why do you have to care about these people's lives? They do not agree with the generals or their wife's governance philosophy at all. It is better to let them be slaughtered by the Northern Liang court army, so that we can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"Don't be short-sighted!" Mr. Cheng, a strategist, retorted, "Who will cultivate so much land if there is only territory and not enough population?"

If the population of the North is 70 to 80% dead, in order to stabilize the North, you can only adopt large-scale population migration, which will inevitably lead to public grievances.

If you let the man's population move to the north, who would want to? It's not that you can't survive.

The remaining population in the northern region can only be restored if every household is working hard to give birth and give birth to children every year, at least twenty years will be needed to recover.

In twenty years, the ocean can turn into mulberry fields.

Liu Baoshun was crazy and wanted to kill him, turning the vast northern land into a barren land.

But we are the teachers of justice, and of course we cannot watch and do nothing. Otherwise, how will the people of the North be willing to surrender?

Don’t be afraid of anything, but you’re afraid of ten thousand. If a powerful military force suddenly appears in the north, the wife will have multiple variables after years of planning.

In order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, we must not only send people to contact local families, but also provide protection as much as possible.

General, I thought I would send someone to the government to investigate the situation, and it would be best to master the local fish scale book.

Only in this way can we accurately know the number of local population and acres of arable land and land so that we can quickly and safely take over the government and facilitate management."

Xiao Yi nodded repeatedly, "Mr. I am right and considerate. I will go to the government to check the movements and the general will hand over to the teacher to get the fish scale book stored in the government as much as possible. If you can't get the fish scale book, you must also find out the movements in the city."

"I will accept the order and will definitely live up to the general's instructions."

All spies are out, and civil servants are in handy.

Xiao Yi set up camp on the spot, made fires and made meals, wrote plans, and re-arranged them.

Similar situations can be seen everywhere in the vast northern land.

The aristocratic family united the local people to build a fort to defend themselves and resist the army of the Northern Liang court.

The Northern Liang court fell apart.

Local officials refused to listen to the orders, and the imperial officials were killed in batches.

There are many people who want to be an official.

But now...

Children of aristocratic families avoided one after another, giving scholars with a slightly cold background an unprecedented opportunity.

Those who could not become officials in the past can now become officials as long as they are not from a noble family.

In the past, he could only be a small figure similar to a escort in the yamen, but now he is in the ministry and has become one of the ministers of the court.

There is no need to be an assessment for officials to be promoted, and it depends entirely on the emperor's decision.

It's such a magical world.

It was originally a normal court, a normal dynasty became so magical and cruel in a short period of time. It was indeed easier to destroy than to build it.

Beiliang spent a full ten years to establish the order initially established was destroyed by Liu Baoshun.

I don’t know if he regrets it or whether he has the face to meet his ancestors.

...

"Killing one doesn't work, then kill ten or hundreds. If the Imperial City Department doesn't work, let Dali Temple be dispatched. I believe Yang Mu will not disappoint me."

In the palace, Liu Baoshun Chong, the commander of the Imperial City Command, roared, scolding the unfavorable work and failed to complete the task on schedule.

The only thing the commander of the Imperial City Department could do was to kneel down and apologize and seek another chance.

"No need! I will hand over the rest of the matter to Yang Aiqing. Yang Aiqing came from a poor family and asked him to kill a noble family and raise food. I believe that he will not let down my expectations and will be able to complete the task as scheduled. That's how things are decided."

Liu Baoshun made a decision with one word.

Since he has turned against the Beidi family, he has done his best.

If there is not enough food and grass, kill the whole family.

If you don’t kill a single family, kill ten families.

The aristocratic family had a full warehouse of food, but they looked at the devastating creatures. Why should he be the emperor be soft-hearted?

At worst, kill all of them, then throw the soldiers back to Liangzhou to become his local emperor, and then seek hope for a comeback.

But he didn't think that Liangzhou's soldiers had been in power for ten years, everyone had land, land, house, wife and children, and they were rich and prosperous.

Who can bear to go back to Liangzhou to eat sand and live a hard life?

I'm afraid that the first person to oppose the retreat to Liangzhou was the old subordinates who followed Liu Zhang to conquer the world.

Half of the country has been built, and the achievements and prosperity have been obtained, and the descendants are inherited. It is time to enjoy the glory and wealth, but suddenly they want to withdraw back to Liangzhou. What a joke?

Going crazy!

Obviously...

An old minister had already foresaw this situation and began to enter the palace in a planned manner to persuade Emperor Liu Baoshun.

"Aristocratic families are abominable, but the world cannot be separated from the governance of aristocratic families. Killing all the aristocratic families is a foolish move to kill one thousand enemies and destroy eight hundred of them!

His Majesty has time to look back now. As long as he is willing to give those aristocratic families some sweetness and benefits, they will turn the guns and attack Xiao Yi for His Majesty.

Your Majesty, the biggest concern is Xiao Yi and Yan Yunge. The aristocratic family is at most a group of dog slaves who need to be beaten.

It’s not worth it to destroy the great country for a group of ungrateful dog slaves!”

Liu Baoshun angrily scolded: "How do you know that the country will be destroyed? There cannot be a country with clear and peaceful seas. As long as the common people get relief and care about the court, the country of Liu will not collapse."

The old minister was heartbroken, "Your Majesty is confused! It is possible to provide relief to the victims, but Your Majesty should not forget that the victims are all a group of unfamiliar ungrateful wolves, whoever gives more benefits will follow.

In competing with financial resources, we are no match for Yan Yunge at all.

As long as Yan Yunge spread a lot of food, the victims immediately said to Yan Yunge.

This is not the case with aristocratic families. This group of people has some principles, some ethics, and private military affairs.

Moreover, the aristocratic family hates Yan Yunge's existence more than His Majesty, and they cannot accept being controlled by a woman.

Your Majesty should not be so strict. Some families are willing to support Your Majesty and drive out the wolves for Your Majesty.”

Liu Baoshun frowned.

He couldn't help but wonder, was his decision really wrong?

Since indulging in the killings of the imperial army, the achievements have been commendable. The problem of inadequate supply of food and grass in the army has been completely solved, and there is also a surplus that can be used as relief grain.

At the same time, the soldiers' rewards were also settled, and they became more and more brave in fighting.

To be precise, it is to kill people, and it is simply a battle with one against ten, and it is not afraid of death.

This is a strong army.

Of course, everything has two sides.

The biggest consequence is that the aristocratic families betray the court, form alliances, build forts everywhere, and fight to the death to resist the imperial army.

He would rather die in battle than donate food to the court, and would rather bow down and surrender.

It's simply the stone inside the pit, smelly and hard.

Due to the resistance of the aristocratic families, the war losses of the imperial army also increased.

There are casualties every day.

According to the investigation by the Imperial City Department, the imperial army was no longer able to kill and rob aristocratic families calmly. They had to guard against someone secretly firing cold arrows at any time, and also guard against someone poisoning the water source.

It seemed that overnight, the entire northern region became the enemy of the Northern Liang court.

This is really cheap, Xiao Yi, that bastard.

"According to your wishes, I should give up on the victims and do not need to provide disaster relief."

"Your Majesty misunderstood. The old minister means that you cannot give up the aristocratic family because of disaster relief, and you should not allow the army to kill all the aristocratic families. Your Majesty should not use Yang Mu. According to the old minister's wishes, kill Yang Mu and give an explanation to the aristocratic families in the world."

This is to sacrifice Yang Mu's head to heaven, so that Yang Mu would be slandered and use this to cleanse the anger in the hearts of the aristocratic family.

It's indeed cruel enough.

"Let me think about it!"

The benefits of killing a noble family are obvious, and the disadvantages can be clearly seen.

How to make a decision?

He wanted to be quiet and to spend more time weighing the pros and cons.

However, the old ministers refused to give him time.
