After eliminating the openly centrifugal forces, Man Chong began to consolidate the rule of the Guo Wei regime in Yizhou.

He eliminated some bad policies in the pre-Han period and then formulated some new policies.

For example, as the victor, after establishing strong martial ethics, Man Chong began to take action against the situation where the military farming in Shu was in full swing and financially difficult.

The way to do it is also very simple. Guo Peng has already given him a standard answer, just copy it accordingly.

Man Chong announced that he would also implement the official salt and iron policy in Yizhou, and that Yizhou would not be allowed to make exceptions.

After this order was issued, it aroused opposition from many locals. They jumped up and down to build relationships and came to Chengdu to find Man Chong to cry, thinking of making themselves an exception.

While crying, they said that they were very difficult and their lives were too difficult. They were harmed by the Yellow Turbans and bandits, and were also affected by disasters. Now the landlords have no surplus food at their homes.

Someone threw the pot on Liu Zhang's head.

It is said that they lost a lot of land and tenants by Liu Zhang. It is very difficult now. If you want to do something like salt and iron, you are completely trying to take their lives.

Some people also give Man Chong an example.

"Men, I won't say much about anything else. Think about it, how many people in my family want to eat? Every day when I open my eyes, I do nothing. I have to serve hundreds or thousands of people who eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and I have to pay for them.

They work on my land, but they also have to eat. They eat one bite after another, and how many bites are there in my mouth at the end? What do I have left? I have been struggling to hold on over the years."

Although a group of people don’t know what surplus value theory is, when doing this, the ability to exploit is to learn by yourself and do not require theoretical guidance and can be implemented directly.

That efficiency is so high that it is the best of all engineering construction in ancient and modern times.

Fortunately, Man Chong is well aware of the way. No matter who cares about it or who will put pressure on him, he forced the implementation of the official salt and iron policy and required it to continue.

I will assign the tasks to grassroots officials and complete them in a limited time and quantity. If you fail, get out of here and don’t be an official!

Do you really think I don’t have you?

There are a large number of grassroots officials who feel very embarrassed.

On one hand, there is a strong Man Chong and on the other hand, there is a local tyrant. Grassroots officials are also in a dilemma and are restricted when dealing with it.

Many people were watching the situation and seeing who could win the fight between Man Chong and the locals in Shuzhong.

Is it a strong dragon that suppresses the local snake, or is it a strong dragon that does not suppress the local snake?

This makes it easier for them to judge whether to follow Man Chong to attack the powerful or help the powerful to lie.

The battle between the central forces of the Wei Empire and the local forces in Yizhou began vigorously.

Man Chong was determined to build a salt and iron official camp, and was determined to crack down on the powerful and expand the power of the central government. The gentry and powerful families with land in Shu would not sit still and wait for death, and they all adopted various methods to resist Man Chong's policy.

As the saying goes, there are policies above and countermeasures below. You are allowed to issue policies, but I am not allowed to make trouble for countermeasures?

This has never been the case for thousands of years.

A group of people were thinking about using various tricks to drag, or giving gifts and money, and using their influence in the local area to deter grassroots officials and keep them from being hindered.

Of course, this technique was also encountered when Guo Peng first promoted the official salt and iron operation in Qingyan and other places.

At that time, Guo Peng had already achieved great momentum. He promoted and forced himself with one hand. The powerful men who were officials under him all responded first and stood on Guo Peng's side, so many people followed directly.

There are also some who have not followed, but the outcome is very miserable. Guo Peng never tolerate those who disobey him.

If you can't deal with you for the moment, don't even think about running away. Mr. Guo will recover and deal with you hard again.

Seeing the tragic ending of those people being either scouted or beheaded, many local tyrants would certainly not think about following their footsteps.

Man Chong followed suit and immediately charged them without saying a word.

For example, when the Wei army quelled foreign rebellion, colluded with foreign tribes and conveyed military information to foreign tribes, resulting in the Wei army suffering losses.

Then he joined forces with the army and the Yizhou Law Cave, dispatched troops and law enforcement teams, and confiscated three local powerful families in a row, and collected a large amount of gold, silver and grain from their homes.

Not only that, they directly included the hidden household registrations they occupied, which did not include in government statistics, and added more than 10,000 people to Yizhou at once.

These three families together hide more than 12,000 households and more than 2,400 households, which shows how serious the devour and concealment of the population by the powerful manors is.

Man Chong did not interfere in this matter for the time being, but only criticized all their families. He also submitted a letter to Guo Peng to behead their heads on the charge of violating corruption, and the rest were exiled to the frontier and devoted their lives to military farming.

Seeing Man Chong having the attitude of local officials in the Western Han Dynasty against the powerful men of the Western Han Dynasty, the gentry and powerful families in Shu were very annoyed and immediately mobilized their political forces to try to cause trouble in the court.

They are not without political power. In order to rule Yizhou, Guo Peng also gave some Yizhou people some central power.

But obviously, they failed and could not succeed.

After all, Yizhou was the last state to be "conquered", and even if it had central power, it would not be very strong. Man Chong represented Guo Peng himself and the most powerful political group in the Wei Empire.

People from Yizhou went to the central government to cause trouble, which was quite funny.

Of course, Mr. Guo stood on Man Chong's side.

No official in the central government who truly holds real power will help these Yizhou people stand up.

Therefore, Guo Peng not only helped verbally, but also ordered Le Jin to mobilize the army to assist Man Chong in completing the implementation of the official salt and iron camp, and to deter the locals in Yizhou who refused to implement this policy.

If there is any objection, the house will be directly confiscated, the entire clan will be deposed as common people, and moved to Liangzhou to military farmland.

And I will never return to my ancestral home, so I will settle there.

Mr. Guo is now very good at doing such things, and his ruling foundation and prestige are far stronger than Liu Xiu, so he will not dare to take action because of the powerful people in Shu.

More importantly, the situation is different.

Yizhou is already the last state to implement the official operation of salt and iron, and the general trend is already established.

Even the powerful families in Nanjun and Nanyang County were forced to hand over all the iron smelting equipment and blacksmiths to cooperate with the government to promote the official business of salt and iron. Do you still want to do special things in Yizhou?

Not to mention these, those guys who have been victimized have reacted more fiercely than Mr. Guo when they heard the people of Yizhou resist.

They sprayed the Yizhou officials in the court who tried to excuse some people, one by one, and one by one impeached these Yizhou officials with inappropriate butts.

After the three Shu bureaucrats were removed, the situation became clear.

Officials from Yizhou no longer have the courage to fight for it in the central government.

There was no help from both inside and outside. The Yizhou gentry and powerful men stopped fighting and had no courage. They really dared not resist. They did not want to end up with the three families, so they could only admit defeat.

What can they do in the face of naked oppression of power?

So they collectively handed over the blacksmiths and iron smelting equipment, recognized the official salt and iron camp, and gave up this part of the interests to the Wei Empire.

Spend money to buy peace!

They bought peace with their blood and tears.

But it was not enough. They were forced to levy a lot of tax tasks by Man Chong, and they wanted to bear part of the military expenditure to help the army pacify the four counties in Nanzhong in southern Yizhou.

Man Chong is a typical example of being more and more aggressive, but he is confident and full of confidence, and some people just don’t have confidence.

So the local forces in Yizhou still accepted it.

But Man Chong still didn't give up, and his three axes were left with the last one.

In order to further divide their power and disrupt their ties with each other, Man Chong also made a large-scale division of the distribution of counties in Yizhou to attack these local tyrants.

Man Chong submitted his proposal to Guo Peng and submitted his suggestions after research to Guo Peng for review.

This suggestion was supported by Guo Peng, and was issued to the Shangshu Desk, who helped Man Chong handle the matter.

Man Chong planned to divide the original northern part of Shu County and set up Wenshan County separately. The core area of ​​the original Shu County - the Chengdu Plain area, is still Shu County.

The barbarians of the former vassal state of Shu County had been conquered, their heads were killed, and their leadership was collectively destroyed. Only a scattered bottom was left, which was easy to rule. So Man Chong submitted a statement to change the vassal state of Shu County to Hanjia County.

The former Guanghan County was divided into two parts. Zitong County was established in the north with Zitong County as the center, and Guanghan County was still centered in the south with Guanghan County as the center.

The barbarians of Guanghan vassal states were also eliminated. This was done by Gao Lan before, so Man Chong submitted a statement to change the Guanghan vassal states to Yinping County and set up county management.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the huge Ba County was divided into three parts under the rule of Liu Zhang, namely Badong County, Baxi County and Ba County.

After Guo Peng conquered Yizhou, he assigned part of Badong County to the management of Jingzhou Nanjun. Later, Guo Peng felt that Nanjun was too large, so he divided the original part of Nanjun and this part of Badong County to merge into Yong'an County, and was still under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou.

Of course, the prefect of Yong'an is his own person.

The land of Sanba is still there, and it is still Badong County, Brazil County and Ba County.

However, Man Chong believed that this allocation model was not scientific enough, so he proposed to use the Dangqu water as the boundary, and to the west belong to Brazilian county and to the east belong to Badong county, which expanded Badong county and narrowed Brazilian county.

Then there was Ba County in the south. Man Chong reported that he divided Ba County into two, Fuling County in the east and the original Ba County in the west, which completely changed the three Ba ​​County before the Wei army entered Shu.

This is not counting. There are also Jianwei County and Jianwei vassal states. Man Chong submitted a note and divided Jianwei County into two.

Taking the transiting Yangtze River flow as the boundary line, Jiangyang County is set up in the north of the Yangtze River, and Jianwei County is still in the south of the Yangtze River.

The vassal state of Jianwei was proposed separately and changed to Zhuti County.

In this way, the Yizhou counties and counties controlled by the Wei Empire were now unrecognizable.

The expansion of six counties into thirteen counties has disrupted the original geographical and political structure in Shuzhong, and some of the original political ties and nepotism have also been completely disrupted.

It was equivalent to Man Chong taking a little time to create a brand new Yizhou, which divided the relatives of the original counties into different counties, forcibly separating their contacts, so that they would no longer have the same contacts as before.

At least politically, this connection becomes very embarrassing.

They are not the same county anymore, what else can I do?

And the prefixes of some families must also be changed.

This is also a very bad change for some families.

Therefore, rulers are always happy to change the names of local counties or regions to separate their geographical and political ties.

This is something that local tyrants don't want to see.

However, in the face of such a situation, they had no power to fight back and could only watch Man Chong change Yizhou beyond recognition.

After Yizhou was renamed beyond recognition, all the relocated counties were arranged to be managed by the people of Dongzhou, forcibly weakening the political power of the locals in Yizhou.

They thought that Mr. Guo moved all the original Dongzhou people away to return Yizhou people to Yizhou people, but they never thought that Mr. Guo moved away to Dongzhou people just to arrange a group of Dongzhou people who listened to him more.

The left hand is just to the right hand, and changing to an obedient hand is no different for the locals in Yizhou.

And now we have to use this method to dilute nearly half of the political power that originally belonged to the locals in Yizhou in one breath, greatly weakening the political power of the locals in Yizhou.
