In the end, several small businessmen were chosen as scapegoats.
Let them stir up some mutinies everywhere.
Of course, there were also some merchants who were really pushed too hard and actually chose to openly rebel.
Then it was quickly suppressed by local troops.
All in all, the people who received the land were very happy.
The landlords whose land was divided out felt helpless.
So they came up with various ways to create trouble for the court.
Or some merchants who accepted their fate allowed the imperial court to divide the land, and then received the honorary title of "National Merchant".
But to be honest, entities like the five major families will not take action.
The court was able to handle all problems with ease.
If this trend continues, it is not impossible to complete the policy of land nationalization within a deadline.
soon.
Cao Cao then reported the situation in various places to Ying Yuan, and said optimistically:
"It seems that all the major families are concerned about their own survival. No one wants to be the first to go against the imperial court."
"As long as they don't move, I am confident that all the people will be able to obtain land and live in peace and contentment in the future."
Upon hearing this.
Ying Yuan was suddenly startled.
Can we really accomplish the nationalization of land, the suppression of landlords, and the distribution of land?
In this way, wouldn’t the national strength increase rapidly?
What else can we do?
Just as Ying Yuan was silent and surprised.
Cao Cao continued, "Your Majesty, although the major families have not taken action, they have allowed some smaller families to interfere with the implementation of court policies."
"Some merchants even openly hired thugs to take back the land allocated by the court."
"I sometimes have a headache about how to deal with these people. If I kill them, I'm afraid the five great families will take the opportunity to cause trouble. If that happens, my Great Qin will easily fall into chaos."
"If we only punish them severely, they won't change their ways..."
Hear this.
Ying Yuan's originally cold heart once again became hot and restless.
The policy of nationalizing land is not a foolish failure. Everything is not impossible. There is still hope!
If we kill them, will the five major families be able to intervene?
So that the world will be in chaos?
This is the situation I want!
Thinking of this, Ying Yuan almost didn't hesitate at all and immediately said:
"kill!"
"Anyone who dares to disobey the imperial decree will be killed on the spot, no matter who they are!"
"Any reform that doesn't involve bloodshed will never succeed!"
"If they dare to act rashly, we will kill them all without leaving a single one alive!"
He displayed supreme dominance.
This made Cao Cao feel very excited and convinced at the same time.
You are worthy of being His Majesty.
Only this iron-blooded approach can ensure the long-lasting prosperity of the Qin Dynasty!
"I obey the decree!"
Cao Cao bowed deeply.
Ying Yuan pretended to be righteous and stern and continued:
"The court cannot be afraid of offending anyone, no matter who they are!"
"Although the aristocratic families control the vast majority of our Great Qin's resources, behind the imperial court stand millions of ordinary people!"
"For them, we must fight those people to the end, even if it means we have to fight them to the death!"
These words were originally intended to fill Cao Cao with confidence.
But when the other party heard it.
But I feel that Ying Yuan is the best emperor to the people in history!
He sighed to himself, "No wonder His Majesty was hailed as the greatest emperor of all time when he was still alive."
"That's because, Your Majesty always has the people in his heart!"
