A long time ago, Chen Mo had inferred that if the strategies taken by Guanzhong were promoted to the world, not to mention the resistance, the human and material resources needed to be consumed alone were an astonishing number. The previous implementation was due to the reasonable killing of the gentry when Chen Mo entered Jizhou. More than half of the wealthy and prominent families in Jizhou died in that battle, and a large amount of land was empty and Chen Mo took over the yamen. This enabled the laws set by Chen Mo to be successfully implemented in Jizhou.

But this time, Cao Cao's voluntary retreat did not leave Chen Mo with this opportunity. The cities in various places fell in love. Although Chen Mo won a large amount of territory in a very short time, it was precisely because of this that Chen Mo was greatly resisted in the process of further governance. The officials sent by various places were unable to move forward. Local gentry and prominent families would not openly follow the yamen, but would use various means to limit the rights of the yamen and undermine the officials sent by Chen Mo.

In fact, in Chen Mo's view, the noble family is only one aspect. What is really difficult to deal with is the grassroots clan forces. If these rural clan forces are just a single point, they cannot be compared with the noble family, but there are many, one mile or even one village. The resistance of these people is the real difficulty.

If you put on a butcher's knife, then there will be nothing left in the Central Plains. It is not realistic to control it with public opinion. The Central Plains are densely populated and there are deep vigilance for outsiders among the villages. Chen Mo was able to control public opinion in Guanzhong because Guanzhong was constantly experiencing wars and refugees everywhere. After Chen Mo reorganized, he established enough prestige. At the same time, the Skynet, which was established at that time, could easily penetrate into the people.

Moreover, there is no such foundation now. Although Skynet has penetrated before, it is all targeting cities, but the most important resistance now comes from the countryside.

The laws of the court are not as good as the laws of the clan and family. Even if someone commits a crime, the villages will protect the people. The Yellow Turban Rebellion has been around for more than twenty years, and the rules of the people have been restored. Even if the wars of the princes in the Central Plains later, the Yellow Turbans in the past are incomparable to the current princes. However, in terms of destruction of the people, no matter what, the princes will protect the people under their rule to a certain extent. Although the people will also displace the people due to the war, the harm to the people's livelihood is still not as good as the Taiping Cult of the past.

"Lord." Sui Yang, the former Cao Mansion, Xun You and Xu Shu sat down with Chen Mo. Xun You bowed to Chen Mo and said, "I think that the situation in the Central Plains is different from that in Guanzhong. Continuing to implement the methods I used in the past will make the political situation in the Central Plains unstable, so we should slow down our efforts!"

Although Xu Shu didn't speak, he obviously recognized Xun You's words. Although the law is the foundation of a solidarity in the country, unless it can truly achieve consistency between the top and bottom, even if the law itself is good, problems are easily arisen during the implementation process, and various problems will arise.

For example, Chen Mo's tax law collects taxes based on the land he owns, which seems very simple, but the people who occupy the most land in the countryside are obviously unwilling to change it. They will gather the people in the countryside to resist. Chen Mo's tax law protects these people with fewer land in the countryside. In theory, these people should support Chen Mo, but in fact they are not.

In the countryside, those who occupy a large amount of land are generally the main body of the inner court, the three elders or the clans related to them, or the entire village is one clan and one surname. Although these people occupy a lot of wealth, they will also benefit the clan members on weekdays, and the clan members will support them more. To put it bluntly, how to deal with the problems within them is their business, and outsiders cannot interfere. At this time, the new court law may be beneficial to them, but for the entire clan, it hurts the interests of the entire clan. In addition, those who pass on the government orders are the heads of these clans. How can they pass on the complete laws at this time?

The people of Guanzhong have already accepted this system. Even if the clan leader wants to change, the people in the village will not let him go. However, they are transferred here. The imperial decrees may be good, but they cannot be heard by the people. Even if they are spread, the people have low judgment and are more willing to accept their own methods. This is the fundamental reason why Chen Mo's decrees are difficult to implement.

Now Xuzhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou counties have basically been dependent on each other, but as officials at all levels are sent down, there are riots.

It’s not that Chen Mo’s magic is not good, but this thing has to be done step by step and forcibly casting it will be subject to resistance. As now, riots have begun to occur in various places.

Chen Mo nodded, and he also noticed this, so he came to discuss with the two: "The tax law cannot be changed. It can be reduced or exempted appropriately, but it will not change. Since they are unwilling to accept this, then measure the land in the countryside and collect taxes based on the countryside. Tax officials in each county only need to find the three elders in the countryside and collect taxes."

It has not changed at all, but it is equivalent to letting the local three elders help collect taxes and then handing them over to the tax officials.

It seems different, but in fact, Chen Mo made concessions to these people. Chen Mo reduced some taxes, one village or one village, and collected taxes based on all their arable land. The three elders or the villagers only need to pay what the court wants. However, when the three elders and the villagers were conveying the government orders, they had the final say on how much tax they collected. The difference during this period was considered to be included in the hands of these people.

Of course, if someone is too overly and too greedy and really stirs up public rebellion, the contradiction will be transferred from the people's dissatisfaction with the court to these people. When the court comes forward to suppress the rebellion, as long as the court's taxes are announced, most of the public anger will be dispersed, and the rest will also fall on these people.

Of course, this is just an ideal state and an emergency measure. Others can be chaotic, but the people cannot be chaotic. This is the fundamental reason. As long as the people are not chaotic, the affairs of the nobles and prominent families can be taken slowly. Chen Mo does not only know how to kill. Since the war has not depleted them, then we will deal with the problems in the non-war period. As long as these people are not overdoing them, Chen Mo does not want to do things too well.

"Lord is wise!" Xu Shu and Xun You breathed a sigh of relief. They were really worried that Chen Mo would taste the benefits of the massacre in Jizhou that year and would be prepared to use killing to control the chaos. In that case, there would be another war in the Central Plains.

"Pass it down first and see the effect. If it doesn't work, then think of his method." Chen Mo looked at the two of them and shook his head and smiled.

"Look, I'll go and pass the order here." Xu Shu and Xun You stood up, bowed to Chen Mo and then left.
