The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 543 No choice
After all, Kushan was a bit far away from Da Qi.

With the current speed of logistics and information transmission, the area that Da Qi can directly control is at most as far as Lake Baikal in the north, the Southeast Peninsula in the south, and the Western Regions in the west.

This is based on the powerful maritime and water transport technology of Da Qi.

It is extremely difficult to directly control Sindhu and Kushan, especially Kushan, which is almost impossible.

Therefore, it can only be ruled through the form of vassal states.

In Tian Ze's plan, there are differences between vassal states and vassal states.

If the vassal states are branch companies, then the vassal states are independent departments directly under the head office with a certain degree of autonomy.

The energy and manpower of the Great Qi Dynasty are already stretched to the limit to manage the areas under its direct control, and it is simply unable to take care of both Sindhu and Kushan.

Therefore, the powerful families and these workers are needed to take action.

The work on the Northeast Plain has been almost done, and it's time to expand the Kushan territory.

Lü Bu and Gongsun Zan didn't think much of it. They just thought it was a good opportunity. They patted their chests and said, "Don't worry! We will take care of these powerful families."

During these years of conquering abroad, they have had many dealings with the aristocratic families.

It was different from the time when he ruled, with all the constraints and non-violent non-cooperation of the aristocratic families and powerful people.

After they went out, these noble families brought them a lot of benefits, and the prices were clearly marked and the benefits were mutually beneficial, so they got along quite well.

As a result, their attitudes towards the aristocratic families also changed.

They are all capable people, but they just didn't use their abilities in the right place before.

However, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao quickly came to their senses after their excitement and looked at Tian Ze with complicated expressions.

What a profiteer!
It's really a cannibalism.

After selling the person, he even asked him to help count the money.

This sounds good, but if you look closely, Tian Ze didn't spend a penny, he was just making money out of nothing.

With this series of operations, Tian Ze not only eliminated the hidden dangers of the aristocratic families and powerful people, but also opened up the fertile land of the Northeast Plain, and also gained an additional force capable of dealing with the Kushans.

And what did Tian Ze pay?
I have put in my brainpower, my heart, and the big dreams I have drawn for them.

If Yuan Shao had not had a general understanding of the situations of the Kushan, Sindhu and other empires, he would even have worried that he had been sold out by Tian Ze.

Make a distant dream, let them and the Kushans suffer losses on both sides, which will not only eliminate the hidden dangers, but also quickly deal with such a powerful enemy as the Kushans.

As a "famous director", Yuan Shao felt that if he were in the other's shoes, he might direct according to this script.

But Tian Ze's reputation is still trustworthy.

Moreover, through various secret insights, it can be proved that Tian Ze is indeed not as shady as they thought.

Otherwise this man is just terrible.

"Chengshou, you are really good at calculating!" Cao Cao sighed sincerely.

He had made full use of everything to such an extent, and he could never match his skill.

He thought that his methods of dealing with the powerful families were quite clever, using both tactics and pressure, relying on checks and balances and maneuvering to keep the powerful families under control quite well.

In the face of adversity, he still tied the powerful families firmly to his chariot.

But what Tian Ze did now opened his eyes.

Let the noble family cultivate fertile land for you, and then point to a larger piece of wasteland and say, that's your wages, go and cultivate it yourself.

And after the land is cultivated, it still belongs to the fields.

Relying on this nesting doll method, as long as the world is big enough, Tian Ze can keep "cheating".

It was like the landlords were using the same tricks they used to trick their tenants on these wealthy families. But once this started, it couldn't be stopped, and the wealthy families couldn't resist it at all.

The general trend is such that they can only be pushed forward. Once they stop, they will be hit and destroyed.

ruthless!
How cruel!

At this moment, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao couldn't help but reflect.

I am too kind to the wealthy and powerful families. Why didn’t I come up with this idea?

Although their scale is not as large as Tianze, as a branch company, they are much stronger than small contractors like Shijia, and they can adopt the same operations!
You pay me the wages yourself to do a project for me. After the project is completed, I receive the money and keep most of the profit for myself, and then give you the wages.

You can use this wages to pay for my next project and keep going.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

We must deal with the Kushans as soon as possible. As long as we deal with the Kushans and have the capital, it is not impossible to do so.

At that time, they will be able to sit back and wait to make money like Tian Ze without paying any cost.

What Yuan Shao and Cao Cao could think of, Xun Yu and others in the row behind them naturally thought of as well.

Tian Ze was not surprised at all and was happy to see it.

The "market" in the world is too big, and his Da Qi alone cannot take it all, so it is necessary to find "subcontractors" and "distributors".

The more Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other princes earn, the better, because they will control the core resources (population) for at least several decades.

No matter how much they earn, most of the profits will flow into their own pockets, and they are the biggest beneficiaries.

"Meng De, you're too kind, but it's just a small one!" Tian Ze said with a faint smile.

Tian Chengshou is a professional in exploiting the world!

And this is just the beginning. If you didn’t suffer from the lack of culture, the operations of later generations would be enough to squeeze your bones dry.

I have already been quite conscientious.

At least the big picture will eventually come true, and the other party will share some of the fruits of their labor.

If it were some humanoid species, they would be lucky enough not to have to ask for paid work.

As for whether the noble families would be so foolish as to be fooled? Haha, even the smartest people have to succumb to the situation.

Just like real estate speculation, everyone can see that the rise in housing prices is abnormal and that problems will arise sooner or later. They will all rush in one after another and will be forced to pay for the rise in housing prices.

Everyone who plays the game of passing the parcel thinks that they will not be so unlucky and will be the last one to receive the parcel, but in the end someone always has to take it.

"So, what is your choice?" Tian Ze asked.

Yuan Shao and the other four nodded without hesitation.

They have no choice.

Even if they wanted to negotiate terms and unite with the powerful families to gain more benefits from Tian Ze, it was too late.

They are competitors to each other, and the powerful families are not a monolithic group.

Moreover, if the wealthy and powerful families in the Northeast Plain are unwilling, there are plenty of people in the world who are willing.

Those aristocratic families in the Central Plains who were a step slow and didn't enter the venue were all watching closely, waiting for them to make mistakes so that they could be replaced.

The current situation is completely under Tian Ze's control, and they are meat on the chopping board.

Although it seems free, in fact there is no choice but to willingly follow the route planned by Tian Ze.
