Jia Xu couldn't help but say loudly: "Lord, this matter must not be done!"

Lu Bu frowned and asked, "Wenhe, why not?"

Jia Xu analyzed: "The lord attacked the four major families as soon as he came to Wujun. In this way, it will inevitably cause turmoil and uneasy in Wujun, which will be extremely unfavorable to the lord's hegemony."

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Wenhe, I think you are too careful, right? You have to know that we have 30,000 soldiers and horses in our hands. Eliminating the four major families is not useless at all!"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Lord, it is indeed a waste of power to eradicate them, but after eradicating them, they will sink the lord into the quagmire and be unable to extricate themselves."

Lu Bu asked curiously: "Wenhe, why do you say that?"

Jia Xu said: "My lord, you must know that the whole world is dominated by wealthy families and prominent families. Now even the emperor dares not touch these wealthy families. Because if the wealthy families are moved, the world will inevitably be in chaos!"

"If the lord attacks the local wealthy families as soon as he comes to Wujun, he will inevitably be hostile to all the wealthy families in the world, and may even attract their siege! In this way, the lord will be in danger!"

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but nod.

Could it be that no one could see the dangers of wealthy families during the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms?

Of course it is impossible, but seeing it does not mean that they can come up with a solution to the problem.

Most of the princes in the Three Kingdoms started their own families by relying on wealthy families, or they were wealthy families themselves.

Their interests are consistent, so there is no need to say more about this.

Among them, Cao Cao is probably suppressing wealthy and prominent families, placing people with talent, and focusing on promoting poor talents.

This strategy has also achieved certain results, but it has been very slow.

When he arrived at Cao Pi, he went straight to the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system and completely threw himself into the arms of wealthy families.

...

The so-called existence is the truth. If the wealthy family could be eliminated so simply, it would not have existed for so many years.

Jia Xu's reminder made Lu Bu sweat in a cold sweat.

This is the advantage of having a top strategist around you. If it weren't for Jia Xu, maybe Lu Bu would have taken action against the wealthy families directly, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lu Bu couldn't help but get up and bowed deeply to Jia Xu and said, "Thank you, sir!"

Jia Xu hurriedly stood up, helped Lu Bu up and said, "Why should lord do this? This is the matter of subordinates. It's really a matter of the subordinates."

What does a strategist look forward to most? Of course, you can meet a lord who obeys his own words, and at least you must be able to listen to your unpleasant words.

Lu Bu bowed to Jia Xu in public, deeply touching Jia Xu.

...

Lu Bu sighed and said, "But if these four major families cannot move, it will be difficult for Wujun to develop rapidly. How can we talk about fighting for the world!"

Sun Ce’s plan to expand outward was very good at the beginning, but why did it fail?

The reason is that if Sun Ce expands his military pay and military expenses will be paid for by the families of the Eastern Wu.

However, these pockets were paid in vain and were doomed to be rewarded. Therefore, these aristocratic families were reluctant, and the conflicts between the two sides directly led to the failure of Sun Ce's plan to expand outward.

Why don’t Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have such problems?

Because others have their own aristocratic family behind them and have common interests, of course it is different.

Now Lu Bu is also facing this kind of problem. Most of the resources of Wujun were occupied by the aristocratic families.

If you don’t move the aristocratic family, you will not have enough resources. If you don’t have resources, how can you expand outward?

More importantly, if you don’t move the aristocratic families, you will never get too much resources, and your actions will be subject to those aristocratic families and will never develop.

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Jia Xu couldn't help but say gloomyly: "Lord, this problem is actually easy to solve."

"Oh?" After hearing Jia Xu say this, Lu Bu couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Wenhe, what are you good ideas?"

Jia Xu said: "Didn't the lord assert before that the Central Plains will soon fall into war? This is the opportunity we have to wait for!"

"If the lord takes action against the aristocratic family now, he will attract the whole world's attention. But when the Central Plains is in chaos, who can still care about this?"

"At that time, the lord can quickly occupy the land of Jiangdong and wipe out all the wealthy families outside Wujun! Then slowly digest it! As long as the lord integrates the entire Jiangdong, it will form a force of swallowing the world!"

"As for the four major families in Wujun, they cannot move for the time being! When the lord controls the entire world, the lord can eliminate these four major families at any time to avoid future troubles!"

After hearing Jia Xu's plan, Lu Bu couldn't help but nod.

The poisonous man is worthy of being a poisonous man!

This plan is amazing!

Now I will develop slowly in Wujun first. When the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo in 189, it will be when I stationed my troops in Jiangdong!

At that time, you will be in the Jiangdong land, and there will be no wealthy families to pull back, and your dominance will be just around the corner!

Now is the time to rest and build a solid back.

But if you want to develop, you must first have your own land.

Lu Bu couldn't help asking: "Wenhe, how much land can Wujun have in our hands now?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "The land in Wujun is basically in the hands of the four major families, and a few are in the hands of the people. There is very little land in the hands of the government."

If there is no land, then develop business first!

In fact, the income from business is far greater than the output of the land.

However, Wujun has two large-scale production lands, Suzhou and Huzhou, and increasing grain output is also the top priority.

Even if these lands are in the hands of these four major families, they have more food in their hands, and when necessary, they are their own!

...

Jia Xu asked Lu Bu: "Lord, the four major families in Wujun held a banquet tonight to welcome the lord, and held a banquet in Tianxianglou in this city. I don't know the lord..."

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Of course I want to go. Not only do I have to go, but I also have to comfort them well! I also have to use the people of the four major families!"

Jia Xu couldn't help but praise: "What the lord said is extremely true!"

...

In the evening, people from the four major families came to invite him, and Lu Bu took Xu Chu to the banquet.

As soon as I left the county magistrate's mansion, I saw an extremely luxurious and luxurious carriage parked outside, with four people standing respectfully on the side in front of the carriage.

Seeing Lu Bu come out, the four of them quickly greeted him and said:

"Zhang Yun meets with the prefect!"

"Gu Yong meets the prefect!"

"Lu Kang meets the prefect!"

"Zhu Heng meets with the prefect!"

These four people are from the four major families in Wujun.

The four great gentry clans of Zhang, Gu, Lu and Zhu!

Among them, Zhu Heng is the youngest.

Among them, Gu Yong and Lu Kang were civil officials of the Eastern Wu, and Zhu Heng was a military general.

Only Zhang Yun did not work in Dongwu, but worked under Liu Biao.
