The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 55
When Zhang Yu came back from Sun's house, his complexion was not very good.

I gave the Sun family enough face, but the Sun family has already refused.

After returning, Zhang Yu told Zhang Zhao and Xi Zhicai about this matter.

"My lord, if the Sun family doesn't cooperate, other aristocratic families will probably wait and see." Zhang Zhao said.

"Whether you wait and see or obey, we can't let these people lead us from now on." On the way back, Zhang Yu wanted to understand something.

First of all, the personal friendship of these aristocratic families is more important than personal friendship, and the interests of the family belong to the interests of the family.

Zhang Yu is an outsider. If these aristocratic families want to continue their local benefits, they must make Zhang Yu compromise.

"My lord, yes, these aristocratic families have controlled local affairs for a long time. If we follow them, we will be under their control in the future, which is very disadvantageous. However, they are powerful. If we cannot break the situation as soon as possible, I am afraid it will be very troublesome. Xi Zhicai said.

Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow I will officially take office. You immediately post posts to all the families and ask them to come. All families, big and small, will post. We must not weaken our momentum."

"Occupy the righteousness first, and then continue to use force to slowly clean up these disobedient families."

Officially appointed as the prefect, these people would never dare to oppose Zhang Yu on the face of it, and would only be inconsistent.

Zhang Yu didn't have much time, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion could break out at any time.

Zhang Yu asked Zhang Zhao and Xi Zhicai to prepare separately.

At night, Ling Cao came back.

"Ling Cao, how many people have you recruited?" Zhang Yu asked.

"My lord, we have only recruited more than 100 people so far." Ling Cao came back and said.

"Mobilize the staff, I will officially take office tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we must recruit 500 people." Zhang Yu said.

Ling Cao nodded, 500 people is not too many, in this world, as long as there is food to eat, there are still many people who are willing to serve as soldiers.

It's just that Zhang Yu and his team don't have many people, and they don't have much influence in this area, so they only recruited more than 100 people a day.

Not long after Zhang Yu came out from Sun's family, many aristocratic families in Wu County got the news.

Among the Li family, the head of the Li family sits at the top.

"Patriarch Li, Sun Menghu is not here. You are the most capable in Kuaiji County. This time, Zhang Yu'er is the new prefect. Shall we show him off and let him know how powerful our family is?" A middle-aged man in his 40s The young man said.

The head of the Li Family Patriarch nodded and said: "This Jiangdong area has always been controlled by our family. Zhang Yu is an outsider. If he cooperates well, he can get some benefits. If he doesn't cooperate, let him do it himself." Let's play."

"Ha ha."

After the Patriarch of the Li family finished speaking, everyone in the audience burst into laughter.

There were six aristocratic families at this gathering. Although the Sun family was the largest aristocratic family in the Jiangdong region, they did not send anyone.

Because Sun Jian has a relatively broad vision and strong ability, his ambitions are not in one place.

The six aristocratic families can represent most of the aristocratic families. If they do not cooperate with the new prefect Zhang Yu, it is foreseeable that Zhang Yu will be very difficult at that time.

After the six aristocratic families made their decision, they used their respective influences to influence the entire Kuaiji County, including all levels of government and almost all aristocratic families.

Zhang Yu asked people to send out invitations overnight, asking them to watch the inauguration ceremony.

Only the aristocratic family in Wu county can be informed, and other counties are too late, but if the aristocratic family in Wu county can be dealt with, then it is equivalent to the aristocratic family in the entire Kuaiji county.

The next afternoon, Zhang Yu held the inauguration ceremony at the prefect's mansion as scheduled.

It is said to be a ceremony, but it is actually a simple ceremony. The most important thing is to see who will come.

The scene was very lively, besides the people brought by Zhang Yu himself, there were many people who came to watch the ceremony.

But Zhang Yu's complexion was not very good, because there was no important person.

These aristocratic families did not have a core member to arrive, they all sent an outsider.

Can Zhang Yu look good like this?

Zhang Yuhu completed the inauguration ceremony with a face, and then went to rest in the study in the prefect's mansion by himself, leaving the outside affairs to others.

Zhang Yu sat in the study and sulked, while thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

Several important people were sent out by Zhang Yu.

At night, several people gathered in the prefect's mansion.

"Zibu, tell me about the situation first." Zhang Yu asked.

"My lord, there are not many things in the treasury of the prefect's mansion, but all the account books are also lost." Zhang Zhao said.

Zhang Yu nodded and said nothing, leaving Xi Zhi to speak.

"My lord, I have already understood that almost all important positions in the county are controlled by these aristocratic families." Xi Zhicai said.

Then Xiang Heng said: "Master, as expected, although there are not many soldiers and horses in the county, these people are also controlled by the family."

It is true that there are not many soldiers and horses in the county, all of them add up to less than a thousand, and their combat effectiveness is low.

"Sure enough, these aristocratic families have put me aside. I'm afraid my government orders won't go out of the prefect's mansion at all." Zhang Yu said after listening.

If the decree can't get out of the prefect's mansion, then Zhang Yu and the others may really want to be completely blinded.

"My lord, if I want to completely subdue these families, I'm afraid we still need to use them. Let's recruit a group and suppress a group. Otherwise, it may not be so easy to break the current situation." Xi Zhicai said.

Zhang Yu closed his eyes, thought quietly for a while and said: "No, this is too slow. These aristocratic families are indeed deeply rooted, but times have changed. It will be troubled times soon, and the sword will come out of power. Ignore them for now, let's do our thing. .”

Zhang Yu continued: "When I have soldiers and horses in my hands, and I have power to do things, they are all scum. If they don't give in, they will all be crushed to death."

At this moment, Zhang Yu's arrogance was exposed, and he didn't want to follow the family's script at all. It didn't matter if the government order couldn't get out of the prefect's mansion. He now has the official position of prefect, he can recruit soldiers, and he can do many things.

Once his power grows stronger, these families who once opposed him will not give them a way to survive.

"Zhang Zhao, how many congratulatory gifts did these aristocratic families bring today?" Zhang Yu asked again.

Zhang Zhao didn't even need to look at those registration records, and directly converted them into copper coins.

"My lord, there are more than 40 aristocratic families in total, and some merchants. Adding up the total, the gifts from them are worth more than 5000 yuan." Zhang Zhao said.

"Okay, all this money will be handed over to Ling Cao, it will be of great use to me." Although the money is not much, it is indeed what Zhang Yu urgently needs at this time.

There is not much time, and it is impossible for Zhang Yu to slowly waste time with these aristocratic families.

After Zhang Yu assigned tasks for a few days, he let them handle them by themselves, while he had to concentrate on military affairs.

Ling Cao came back very late, and went directly to Zhang Yu after he came back. He knew that Zhang Yu had been waiting for news from him.

"Ling Cao, how many people have been recruited now?" Zhang Yu asked.

"My lord, 800 people have been recruited according to your request," Ling Cao said.

Yes, Zhang Yu asked to recruit 800 people. Although he can only support 500 people now, he does not want waste, but elite soldiers. After training, 800 people will eliminate 300 people, leaving only 500 people.
