Guo Jia's words immediately resonated with others. Zhang Liao said disdainfully: "It seems that you are over thirty years old. Now you have become the county magistrate? I guess your county magistrate bought it for money, right?"

Jian Yong shouted: "My eldest brother's county magistrate was appointed by the governor of Caozhou."

Xi Zhong chuckled and said, "Oh, my lord's Bingzhou Governor has actually been killed from the battlefield. Besides, my lord's territory is Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Yanmen, and other lords do not obey my lord's orders. You just said that refugees in Shangdang County are everywhere, what does it have to do with my lord?"

"What happened?" Yang Biao asked with a frown.

Yang Fan nodded and said, "That's true!"

Huangfu Song thought for a while and said, "Cui Lie, the father of Cui Jun, the prefect of Xihe County, has a good relationship with us. I will write a letter to Cuizhou to let him respect your order."

Yang Fan smiled bitterly and said, "The policies I advocate are contrary to most aristocratic families. Even if Cui Jun joins me, those aristocratic families will interfere with it."

"What policies have you implemented on Bowen? Those aristocratic families hate you so much. We old guys have heard of it from far away in Chang'an. Tell us a little."

Huangfu Song asked curiously.

"I'll explain this to everyone!" Gu Yong stood up and said after getting Yang Fan's hint.

"Are you Bo Ji's disciple?" Huangfu Song asked when he saw Gu Yong's familiar face.

Cai Yong smiled and said, "It is my incompetent apprentice, Gu Yong and Gu Yuansan. Now he serves as the prefect of Yunzhong County under Bowen."

"Oh, then you can tell us." Huangfu Song then smiled.

"My Bingzhou now has two strategic deployments, one is that everyone has land and the other is that everyone has money." Gu Yong said excitedly.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Jun asked in confusion.

"Over the past few years, countless people have come to join our family to vote for our masters, and it is a policy to do so." Gu Yong said proudly: "I have never seen the expression of the people. It is the support and respect from the heart. Perhaps this was the same during the reign of Emperor Wen."

"I said, you kid, why are you talking nonsense?" Zhu Yan said anxiously and angrily.

Gu Yong was stunned and quickly replied: "Everyone has land, but everyone under my rule owns ten acres of land. It is prohibited to buy and sell land privately. If you don't want to farm, the government will recycle it at the price."

"What about those aristocratic families?" Huangfu Song was shocked when he heard this. Gu Yong's words would cause bloody storms. Huangfu Song had been a governor of Yuzhou and knew it was very powerful, so he asked immediately.

Gu Yong replied: "The aristocratic family is also calculated by people, not including servants and maids."

Yang Biao's Yang family was a wealthy family. He frowned and asked, "What should we do with the extra land of that aristocratic family?"

Gu Yong replied: "The government will recycle it at the price."

Huangfu Song asked worriedly: "This undoubtedly cuts off the way for the aristocratic family. How did you comfort me?"

Gu Yong replied: "This is the second strategy of our army that I want to talk about. Everyone has money. Under his rule, our Lord encourages business development. Whether it is a family or a commoner, as long as you have the ability, you can enter the officialdom and do business, and you will never starve to death."

Yang Biao frowned and said, "Since ancient times, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants are lowly. If the children of those aristocratic families do business, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

Yang Biao's words made Gu Yong a little unhappy. Over the past few years, the prosperity of Shuofang and Wuyuan counties is comparable to that of some major counties in the mainland. It can be seen how wise Yang Fan's policies are. At first, the children of those aristocratic families were quite resistant, but after tasting the sweetness, they all shut up and developed their own industries with peace of mind.

This is also the reason why Yang Fan established the Commercial Department and the Logistics Department early.

Gu Yong retorted: "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, everyone is equal, there is no distinction between high and low, there is only the difference between rich and poor, wise and stupid. My master once said, 'The gap between rich and poor only depends on personal ability. If you want to be rich, you have to work hard. There is no good thing about losing pie in the world. Only through your own hands and hard work can you create wealth.'"

Obviously, Gu Yong admired Yang Fan's theory very much, and he looked very excited and his tone was quite firm.

After hearing this, Cai Yong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "What about the difference between wisdom and foolishness?"

Gu Yong replied: "My Lord once said, 'If the people are rich, only by letting them be wise can they be able to understand the truth!'."

Since ancient times, aristocratic families have mastered resources and fooled the people. For those in power, only the ignorance of the people can better control it. Yang Fan's move was to free the people from ignorance. This was undoubtedly a means of weakening the rule of the aristocratic families, and the impact it caused would be unprecedentedly huge.

Yang Biao turned to Yang Fan and asked, "Bowen, what will you do if there is a noble family who does not follow it?"

Yang Fan replied lightly: "There is no third way to leave or destroy."

Yang Fan's domineering surprises everyone. This is a decisive move, and if you fail, you will be able to achieve success!

Yang Fan let Gu Yong talk here, and his main purpose was to convey a message to the princes, that is, Yang Fan will not fight for the interests of himself or a small number of people, but for the interests of most people. The road during this period will be extremely difficult.

Yang Fan also made these words intentionally. Isn’t the appeal of Huangfu Song and others comparable to Yang Fan? If they stood on their own side, they would become a powerful support for the Yang family army.

This is the importance of concept propaganda. Only with publicity will it be well-known to more people, and more like-minded people will join the Yang family army. Yang Fan is not afraid of the princes deteriorating within their respective spheres of influence. After all, Yang Fan's policies are in the interests of most people. The Han Dynasty still has many people, and there are only a small group of powerful people.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Bowen, you have a long way to go, so you must take care of yourself!"

At this time, Yuan Shao was particularly happy. In this era, the power and energy in the hands of aristocratic families were so terrifying. How could it be weakened if it was weakened? Didn’t Zhang Jiao have the same idea at the beginning? In the end, he died and said in a deep voice: “Bowen, you must be careful in the future. Your move has cut off the way some people rely on for survival, beware of the vicious means of some people with ulterior motives.”

Yang Fan smiled and said, "The ancient sage said, 'The people are water, the king is boat.' Water can carry boats, or cover boats. If I am good to the people, the people will naturally rely on me sincerely, so that they will be satisfied!"

When everyone heard that Yang Fan was standing on the side of the people, regardless of the identity of his family, they began to think about it secretly. This was shocking news. The most powerful princes in the world except Dong Zhuo were like this, which really made people admire him.

Lu Zhi was relieved and smiled and said, "Bowen's move will definitely win the hearts of the people. With the support of the people, why worry about the big thing not being done?"
