After Lu Zhen returned to Anyi City, the first thing he did was to declare Wang Kuang to be the captain.

And he gave him the task of measuring the land.

Because this is a major matter that offends the world and affects their interests.

Lu Zhen had just arrived in Hedong, and his footing was unstable, so all he could measure was the mountains, rivers and forests.

Now that Lu Zhen has become stronger, he has begun to liquidate his fields.

The second thing is to plant potatoes.

The potatoes handled a few days ago have sprouted.

Just in time for planting, Lu Zhen immediately took Qin Heng and other ten people to plant outside the city.

Qin Heng was promoted to Diannong captain by Lu Zhen. He followed him on expeditions during wartime and was responsible for farming and other matters during normal times.

Qin Heng, who was born in Gengdu, is also good at farming, so the planting and care of potatoes were left to him.

"This is my most important thing, be sure to take good care of it"

"Even if Anyi City is lost, none of these potatoes are allowed to be lost."

In order to ensure that the potatoes would not be stolen, Lu Zhen asked Qin Heng to allocate a hundred people to guard them day and night.

This incident also alarmed the noble families in Hedong County, and Wei Jian came to inquire about the news:

"What did the general plant? But the potatoes given to Pei Qian in Wenxi City? Lu

Zhen pretended to be surprised and said:

"Bo Xi is very well-informed and knows all the little things that happen in Wenxi City."

Wei Jian knew that Lu Zhen was teasing him, so he counterattacked:

"The general is measuring acres of land now. Is it to promote the cultivation of this plant? Lu

Zhen asked with a smile in a probing tone:

"Is Bo Xi worried that my measuring the acres will cause turmoil?"

Wei Jian did not answer, but said solemnly:

"Measuring acres has nothing to do with unrest. But the general got in touch"

"This shows that the general is not just surveying, but also wants to liquidate the acres occupied by the family and carry out land reform."

Wei Ji is a smart man, who graduated from No. 1.

In fact, there are many smart people in the family who have guessed Lu Zhen's intentions from various signs.

Therefore, now everyone in the family in Hedong County is in danger, worried about Lu Zhen's Liquidation.

Wei Jian sighed and asked,"Does the general really want to do this? Lu

Zhen did not avoid the question, but looked at Wei Ji and nodded seriously, saying:

"Land is the foundation of governance and the foundation of national development."

Wei Jian asked again:

"So how does the general carry out land reform?"

This time, Lu Zhen didn't speak.

But Wei Ji became serious, because the more this happened, the more worried Wei Ji became.

In fact, Wei Ji was not worried about Lu Zhen liquidating the land. After all, it was wrong for the family to conceal and seize land.

Let It would be fine if the government took back some of it and gave the family a beating.

But Wei Jian felt that Lu Zhen's plan was more than that.

Wei Jian was silent for a moment and said:

"The general recruited refugees to reclaim wasteland, but he only said rent-free and tax-free, but did not say who owned the land."

"In addition (aeai), the fields used by generals to provide compensation for those killed in battle are also rent-free. Not a direct gift"

"So, the general wants land reform and officialdom? No trading allowed?"

Lu Zhen knew that the fundamental reason for land annexation was private ownership of land, so there was only one way to change this situation, and that was to state-owned the land and not allow anyone to buy or sell it. The reason why Wei Ji could guess Lu Zhen's intention was Because someone once carried out this kind of land reform in the Han Dynasty.

That person was Wang Mang!

And Wang Mang failed. It can even be said that he has never succeeded.

""Wang Mang's Reform" is very famous in history, because his reform ideas are in line with modern people's livelihood, including public ownership of land, equal distribution of farmland, prohibiting the sale of people, and promoting people's livelihood and welfare.

He wanted to establish an ideal"world of great harmony".

Unfortunately, he was divorced from reality and also He stood on the opposite side of the family class and was ultimately defeated miserably.

Now, Wei Jian discovered that Lu Zhen seemed to want to imitate Wang Mang

"General, do you want to learn from Wang Mang? But his policies simply don't work."

Wei Jian's tone was heavy and somewhat helpless.

Lu Zhen didn't say anything. He naturally knew that Wang Mang's reform would not work.

Because any reform cannot be achieved overnight, it must be gradual and requires the efforts of one generation or even several generations.

However, Lu Zhen Zhen will not give up, because this is the only way to save the people of the Han Dynasty.

Even if he knows he can't do it, he will do it!

Even if he changes his fate against heaven!

"Bo Xi, listen to me tell a story."

Lu Zhen sat on the floor and took Wei Ji to sit down with him.

Wei Ji looked at Lu Zhen and saw that his face was solemn but tough.

"At the end of the dynasty, the courtiers exercised power and the relatives and eunuchs ruled the country. But suddenly one day, the relatives and eunuchs were all killed, leaving only the scholar-bureaucrats who were courtiers."

Wei Jian was stunned when he heard this, because he realized that what Lu Zhen was talking about was the current situation.

"The scholar-bureaucrats expanded rapidly and continued to carve up the world."

"During this period, someone may come out to interfere, but they are not the world's opponents. Because after a hundred years of development, the family has already controlled most of the resources, population and land in the dynasty."

"In the end, the scholar-bureaucrats gained absolute power, dominated the world, and elected a royal family."

Wei Jian nodded, which echoed the current social situation.

Lu Zhen continued:

"The selected royal family is very scared, because the royal family has become more expanded and more powerful than before, and almost the entire world is controlled by them."

"As long as the family is willing, they can even replace the emperor at any time"

"For this purpose, the royal family enfeoffed eight royal kings and allowed them to recruit troops, hoping to suppress the family."

"As a result, the eight kings did not suppress the family. The family interfered with power and killed the disobedient emperor. The eight kings were also in chaos. They attacked each other and fought for years. The people were in dire straits."

"The noble families can either take advantage of the opportunity to make money, or they can choose sides and get involved in the fight."

"In fact, the world likes chaos the most, because they can take advantage of the chaos to plunder and grow. The more chaotic it is, the more they will expand."

"In the end, the chaos became more and more intense, the national power was depleted, soldiers died in battle, and the foreign tribes from the north took advantage of the situation and invaded, annihilating the Central Plains and massacring all the Han people."

The Han people are nearly extinct, and the Central Plains is full of wolves!

When Wei Jian heard this, his face changed drastically and he said:

"impossible! The Central Plains of China has experienced continuous civil strife, but it has never been wiped out by foreigners."

Lu Zhen looked at Wei Jian's pale face and knew that he believed his deduction, but just didn't want to admit it. Unfortunately

, what Lu Zhen said was what really happened in history. The eight kings fought in chaos and the five were in chaos. This was the first time in the history of the Han nation The darkest moment.

After Wei Qian took a breath, he argued unwillingly:

"The general seems to blame this disaster on the family, which is not very reasonable."(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lu Zhen said expressionlessly:

"When an aristocratic family grows big, it will inevitably monopolize the class. Talented people from poor families will not be promoted, and untouchables will never be able to stand up. Social conflicts will increase sharply, and turmoil will occur at any time."

"Moreover, if the imperial power is divided among the clans, corrupted for the benefit of one clan, and obstructs the reform of the imperial power, society will inevitably regress and riots will break out!"

Wei Jian argued with an embarrassed expression:

"But...there are also people with lofty ideals in the family, who are willing to cultivate their moral integrity, harmonize their families, govern their country and bring peace to the world."

Lu Zhen nodded:

"I believe that the land of Han Dynasty has never been short of knowledgeable people, gentlemen and national scholars."

"Now is the time for them to stand up, help the building before it collapses, and turn the tide before it falls!"

"Today's aristocratic families have become too powerful to lose."

"If it goes too far, it will be a disaster. If it is not suppressed, it will be the day of destruction when it breaks out."

It would have been a disaster. These four words deeply hit the most sensitive part of Wei Zhi's heart, leaving him stunned.

Behind them, Xi Zhicai and Wang Ling were also stunned on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.

As for the Dian Wei, who followed Lu Zhen, still stood expressionless like a sculpture. I wonder if he understood.
