Chapter 671

Zhang Yu is going to fight against the aristocratic families in Luoyang.

He held a banquet in the palace and invited all the families on the list.

They don't dare not come. If they don't come, Zhang Yu will send soldiers to invite them.

Zhang Yu's purpose of inviting these aristocratic families is very simple, that is to ask for money.

Take Luoyang back and scrape it, and keep it for Cao Cao.

Of course, Zhang Yu can also take his soldiers and horses to rob them, but he doesn't like to use this method to make Luoyang chicken fly and dog jump.

Zhang Yu was polite when he invited people here.

"You guys, I'm reasonable. You support Cao Cao as an enemy. I'm talkative and don't want to kill people. But I'm greedy for money and lust. You must pay for peace." After calling all the people over, Zhang Yu said.

"We have no money."

"Yes, without money, you will kill us all."

"Luoyang was built on the ruins. We don't have any money."

Hearing that Zhang Yu wanted their money, they all fought.

In fact, they also know that they have to spend money today. They just want to bargain with Zhang Yu in this way.

Zhang Yu didn't pay any attention to them. Instead, he waited for them to be quiet. Then he said, "you may not know that the yuan family fire in Luoyang was set off by me."

Everyone was stunned. The fire was put by Zhang Yu, and it was well known for a long time.

However, the people immediately understand Zhang Yu's insidious, and tell them clearly that if they don't pay, then they are not polite.

Encounter Zhang Yu, is how helpless choice.

"Zhang Yu, you can't do that. You should always be reasonable." Someone said.

There are fewer people who agree with Zhang Yu. Everyone knows that Zhang Yu really dares to kill people and set fire to them.

"Reasonable? I've been very reasonable. I didn't send soldiers directly to the door. Instead, I politely invited you here. " Zhang Yu said.

Everyone is silent. Now Luoyang is in Zhang Yu's hands.

"There's no need to talk nonsense. When everyone gives up 60% of their property, if they don't have enough money, they will find a way. They only give you five days. If you want to hide your property, you can try it." Zhang Yu said.

People are speechless, and 60% of their property is deadly.

If not, Zhang Yu will kill.

If you want to get away with it, it depends on luck.

It's very polite for Zhang Yu to ask for 60%.

In fact, Zhang Yu can't help it. Many of their properties are real estate, farmland, and goods in the hands of merchants, which Zhang Yu can't take away.

So, Zhang Yu gave them five days to raise money, so maybe they could have more.

If the money is less than what he expected, Zhang Yu will send someone to investigate. If the money is less than what he expected, he will have to use a knife.

Luoyang city is so big that it's hard to hide. The main reason is that the streets are full of Zhang Yu's soldiers, so it's difficult to hide.

Zhang Yu's other purpose is to suppress the aristocratic families in Luoyang.

To suppress these aristocratic families and make them feel less comfortable, then their influence in Cao Cao will decline, and Cao Cao will be able to better develop Taixue.

It's what Zhang Yu has been doing to suppress the aristocratic family, not to mention the aristocratic family of the enemy family, so he has to step on it hard.

Zhang Yu let them go back after blackmail, and at the same time ask them about Dong Zhao. If you know something, you can tell him in secret. It will be good at that time.

Zhang Yu offered a reward of three million yuan to buy Dong Zhao.

In the end, Zhang Yu can't help it.

When these people go back, they don't look good.

No one looks well after being blackmailed 60% of their property. Fortunately, Zhang Yu only blackmailed their property in Luoyang. These aristocratic families generally run more businesses, and many places have properties.

When they went back to raise money separately, some people wanted to think ill, but when they saw that there were soldiers on patrol all over the street, they counseled.

Obviously, you can't transfer assets. It's estimated that you will be targeted as soon as you go out.

Every family is filled with grief.

Many people want to see Zhang Yu in their posts, but none of them.

"How can we completely suppress these aristocratic families and divide them?" Zhang Yu thought.

Differentiation of aristocratic families requires different treatment.

Zhang Yu plans to focus on those big families, and then let the small families take advantage of the opportunity.

If you think about the countermeasures, Zhang Yu will act quickly.

Five days later, most of the people handed in their property.

After that, Zhang Yu asked the soldiers to search, and the aristocratic family searched very carefully.

"Take it, take all of it."

The soldiers rushed into the study and took all the books away.

Many of them are printed on paper, and many of them are bamboo slips.

No matter what it is, it's all ransacked. A book or a piece of paper is not left.

Those aristocratic families are stupid.

"No, you can't take it."

"We've already paid."

"Without books, what shall we do?"

After paying the money, Zhang Yu also let people rob their books. As long as it was a big family, they were all ransacked.

Nowadays, books are easy to buy, but they also cost a lot of money.

There's no pressure to buy three or five books, and it doesn't matter to buy ten or twenty, but it's not so easy to buy a study again.

Books are still very valuable in this era. Although there are printed materials, the price is still high.

Most of them are only a few hundred dollars, but it also costs a lot of money to make a study.

It used to be nothing, but now it has turned in 60% of the family property, and most of the aristocratic families have only some real estate.

So, they're not that easy.

But Zhang Yu is merciful to those small aristocratic families and doesn't check their books.

In this way, under the differential treatment, it will naturally change slowly.

No books, these people want to read, then go to Taixue, do not go, then you slowly save books, or sell some property.

When the property is sold off, the size of the aristocratic family becomes smaller.

Zhang Yu worked hard to shorten the gap between them and the small aristocratic families and let them contain each other.

When Zhang Yu cultivates a group of civilian scholars, the real crisis of these aristocratic families will come.

In fact, Zhang Yu has cultivated a group of civilian scholars for a long time, and there are still a lot of them, but they all serve themselves and have little influence.

It is very difficult for a large number of civilians to rise in other places, because Zhang Yu did not provide them with a lot of reading opportunities.

Zhang Yu tried his best to suppress the aristocratic family in Luoyang, which was just so. If the princes didn't give those ordinary scholars a chance, they would come to Jiangdong.

As long as the vassals open their mouths slowly, the common people will rise slowly and impact the whole family system.

The aristocratic family was still very serious in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty could even influence the direction of the Empire. Only after the song and Ming Dynasties was the aristocratic family suppressed by the imperial power.
