Someone secretly contacted retainers and wealthy families who were dissatisfied with the Luo family in the territory of the Luo family, trying to instigate a rebellion. And Ma Qingchun was the wealthy family that received the invitation.

According to common sense, the territory of the Ma family in Nanhou was occupied by the Luo family. Although after being forced to surrender to the Luo family, not only the territory of the Ma family was transferred, but even Ma Qingchun was also valued by the Luo family, but compared to the son of Ri, who was alone in Nanfei and became the emperor in the past, it is indeed not so satisfactory now. So if the Ma family intends to rebel, it is absolutely possible.

But Ma Qingchun is not a good-looking person. He has a very clear understanding of the situation in the Luo family territory. Both the retainers and ordinary small families in the territory are subject to the laws of the Luo family. Not only are the family insufficient, but even the rights in the territory are basically controlled by the village heads that support the Luo family. The lords only have the right to manage the territory as a whole, but have no right to appoint and remove these village heads. After all, as lords of the territory, they are mainly responsible for the civil and agricultural management of the territory, so that the territory can be maintained and the food production is guaranteed.

The most important military force is basically concentrated in the hands of the Luo family. Whether it is the retainers or the small wealthy family, they only have fifteen guards at most. No matter how many, they will be regarded as a plot to rebel.

It can be imagined that in the absence of grassroots support and even lack of military power, even if a group of people with a small number of people participate in the rebellion, they are doomed to fail.

It was precisely because he saw through the consequences of the rebellion that after receiving the invitation from the discussion, Arima Qingchun pretended to agree to the other party's invitation, and immediately sent someone to Feihou to notify Masaliang. So in the end, Arima Qingchun's retainer met Masaliang.

When he suddenly learned the news, Masayoro even felt a little self-deprecating. He was just happy that the back of Otomo's family and the rich families of the fat queen were unstable. He was about to do a good job, but in a blink of an eye, it was his turn to have a problem at the back of his family.

The current situation of Feihou is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Luo family. Once you master it well, it is really possible to control the central and northern regions of Feihou instead of the Otomo family. However, this problem has occurred at this critical moment.

"Lord, please calm down!" At this time, Yamamoto Kansuke finally finished reading Arima Haruku's letter. Seeing Masaru's a little angry eyes, he immediately knew that Masaru was annoyed by the problems that occurred in the territory. Yamamoto Kansuke was also an elderly person after all, and he had traveled around the countries. His experience and psychological maturity were much better than Masaru. So even though he suddenly learned about the changes in the territory, he quickly calmed down from his shock.

"Military advisor, what do you think about this?" Zhengliang asked with his fists tightly clenched.

"The most urgent task is to temporarily block this matter." Yamamoto Kansuke said immediately.

"Oh?" Masaru was stunned when he heard this, but he soon understood what Yamamoto Kansuke meant. The so-called blockade news was, first, not letting the enemy know, and second, even the people around him could not let them know. After all, since someone was planning to rebel, it was difficult to make sure that there were no rebels among the retainers who followed Masaru at this time. If they were allowed to detect the abnormality and make the rebellion break out in advance, then the situation facing Masaru would be even more difficult.

After understanding what Yamamoto Kazusuke meant, Masara immediately asked you five who came to deliver the letter but was unaware of the plot to rebel for the time being. At the same time, he immediately sent all the rest of the tent out of the tent.

"Lord, I think that at this time, the lord should think about it first and wait until he is calm before discussing with the ministers to deal with it." After seeing the people in General Masayoshi's tent clearing the scene, Kanasuke Yamamoto immediately said.

Zhengliang nodded, then took a deep breath and slowly began to think.

First of all, Zhengliang thought about why there was a sudden instability in the territory. Soon Zhengliang found the first reason, that is, the laws of the Luo family. In essence, the laws currently implemented by the Luo family were actually to turn the current feudal system of territorial feudalism that was popular in the Warring States Period into a Chinese-style centralized system of "half salary and half feudalism".

Such a system only authorizes civil and agricultural management rights to the territory of the retainers and the small families below, but firmly controls the territory's military rights, and even the independent military rights of these people are strictly restricted. As for the other tax authority they care about, they were also collected by Zhengliang, and they could only obtain the territory's harvest from the king's hands, rather than directly obtaining the harvest from the farmers.

After all, this law actually makes the lords become local chief executives, with only administrative power, but no military or financial power. Such a system obviously weakens the interests of the lords to a certain extent.

The reason why the Luo family was able to successfully implement such a set of laws was that the ministers of the Dragon who started with Zhengliang were originally a bunch of paupers and had nothing, but now they have suddenly been enfeoffed. Although their rights were restricted, they had nothing to complain about. After all, it was better than when they had nothing.

Although some of the retainers who later joined were originally a local tyrant, they were the defeated party and had the fate of being exploited and dealt with by others. In addition, the Luo family had already formed such a legal system within the country at this time, so they naturally had to follow the customs. Even if they had complaints in their hearts, they could only watch their power weakened, and then obediently followed the laws of the Luo family.

However, these people also have complaints after all, and with the small wealthy families who have also been weakened, this group will definitely become larger and larger as the power of the Luo family continues to expand.

Besides, as the power grows, the retainers who originally supported the Luo family will not be able to guarantee that they will not have more thoughts and need more rights after the goods are satisfied.

Of course, Zheng Liang had already expected these when he first implemented the rules. That's why he implemented several policies. For those small wealthy families like ants, they could not kill them every place, so that the progress of the Luo family's strategy will be greatly slowed down. Therefore, for these local small wealthy families, the way to deal with them is to transfer the seal, make them lose their original foundation, and then take root in a new place that already supports the Luo family and fall under the surveillance of the Luo family's supporters.

If someone resists during this period, then immediately adopt a policy of extermination, kill all the male members of the family, and depose them to slaves and allocate them to retainers, or resettle them. This method is equivalent to first triggering future conflicts in advance and then resolving them in advance.

In addition, it is to firmly control military power, firmly control military power, avoid the retainers and noble families forming their own military groups, and also avoid the retainers from gaining their own military weight. At the same time, it is necessary to vigorously promote retainers who support the laws of the Luo family and suppress retainers who represent the old laws. The most direct way is to allow retainers who represent the old laws to only take on internal affairs and not allow them to contact important positions such as intelligence and military. Gradually support a group of retainers who support the laws of the Luo family.

There is also the implementation of the school system and immigration policy. Through the school, a large number of new generations who support the laws of the Luo family. More than ten years later, as this generation with new ideas gradually controlled various powers in the territory, Zhengliang's regime was greatly consolidated. A large number of Ming immigrants who had received local centralized culture in the Ming Dynasty would also be supporters of the Zhengliang regime.

Finally, by forcibly implementing the laws of the Luo family, using time, the most powerful weapon, to gradually weaken the strength of these old forces. The longer the time goes on, the fewer civilians support them (because civilians have already gained the sweetness from the laws of the Luo family and know that those who are the best for them). Even the warriors who were loyal to them were unable to participate in the military power of the Luo family because they were by their side, and thus gradually left. In the end, they could only become lord officials in the management of the Luo family.

However, such policies will inevitably suffer a lot of obstacles in the early stages of implementation. For example, this internal rebellion in the territory is the best example. Even if something happens to the family supervisor, where the centripetal force is located, or the strength of the family is greatly weakened, these temporarily compromised guys will surface and start to do evil.

However, even if the Luo family now implements the most popular feudal system in the Warring States Period, such problems will still arise and will even be even more serious. The most typical example is the division of the retainers after Oda Nobunaga's death, and the rise of Tokugawa Ieyasu after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death. In such examples, all the wealthy families as the main family ended up miserably.

The reason is not that this feudal system made the retainers full of energy in the early stage, but it laid hidden dangers for the resignation, allowing the retainers to have all the conditions for rebellion. This system, which is maintained by the personal charm of the family supervisor and the moral loyalty of the retainers, seems very unstable in the face of the greed and primitive human beings.

The laws currently implemented by the Luo family also give sufficient material benefits to the retainers who are willing to serve the Luo family. The difference is that not only their apparent military and administrative rights are subject to certain restrictions, but even the most rooted land and civilians are directly controlled by the Luo family. This controls the conditions for retainers to rebel from the root.

If two laws appear before Zhengliang again and let Zhengliang choose, although this is a difficult choice, for the long-term peace and security of the territory and the safety of his descendants, Zhengliang will still choose the laws that the Luo family will implement first.

Of course, choosing such a law means that Zhengliang will encounter many difficulties in the early stage of implementing the law. It can even be said that the entire Warring States system is the enemy of Zhengliang.

Zhengliang seemed very calm about such consequences. In his opinion, since he came here for no reason, he would leave behind something worthy of later generations of praise and research.

Going to the local customs? No, Zhengliang rejects such a plot. He hopes to be able to gradually implement what he thinks is correct based on the actual environment.
