Shi Zhipei felt helpless when he heard Mo Zizai say this. He thought Mo Zizai was angry, so he couldn't help but persuade him, "Prince, this matter is really unnecessary."

"These families are not worthy of your calculations, but if you have the right to be righteous, there will be much less trouble in the future."

Shi Zhipei advised earnestly: "If you attack Yuan Lianghan and other major families for no reason, these small families in the Nanjun will definitely be in panic. At that time, it may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble to the new officials."

"Don't worry about those small families."

Mo Zizai said lightly: "I didn't plan to let them go. After the four major families resolved, they will be solved immediately."

“???”

Shi Zhipei looked at Mo Zizai in shock, his eyes full of confusion. He originally thought that Mo Zizai was preparing to confiscate those big families, then win over the small families, promised to bring them back to his command with great profits, and then quell the riots in the south county.

Unexpectedly, Mo Zizai actually said he wanted to kill the small family. Are you going to heaven?

These major families in Nanjun are not only crowded with land but also many people. All the food, clothing, housing and transportation in Nanjun are found in all aspects. If they are gone, all walks of life will be affected and the entire Nanjun will be in chaos.

In Shi Zhipei's vision, he had himself, and those new officials, if he could win over those small families that were unsuccessful but had some influence on the occasion and replace those big families, he could minimize the impact of destroying those big families.

But now he found that he had thought it wrong from the beginning!

"Prince, are you serious?"

Shi Zhipei stared at Mo Zizai for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about the consequences of solving the problems of several major families and those small families?"

"Of course I thought about it."

Mo Zizai knew that Shi Zhipei was concerned about the people and was a little anxious, so he didn't care about his tone and said lightly: "The consequences of doing so are nothing more than the decline of all industries in Nanjun and the people's livelihoods are in chaos. If it were normal, perhaps a large number of people would choose to escape from Nanjun."

"Prince, since you know, why do you still do this?"

Shi Zhipei's tone was indescribable indignation. In his opinion, Mo Zizai had never cared about the people of Nanjun. He just put the people of Nanjun in the fire and ignored it just to be angry. This was a bit too much.

"Don't worry, Lord Shi."

Mo Zizhai waved his hand and told Shi Zhipei to be calm. After Shi Zhipei calmed down a little, he explained: "If it were normal, I wouldn't do this. After all, if Nanjun lost a large amount of population, it would be really not a good thing for Nanjun."

"But now it's different, it's an extraordinary time."

Speaking of this, Mo Zizai paused for a moment and said slowly: "Master Shi, where do you think the people of Nanjun can escape to now?"

"this……"

When Shi Zhipei heard Mo Zizai say this, he seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but be stunned.

Nanjun is now suffering from disasters, and all those who cannot survive have already gone to wealthy places to escape famine. The remaining people are basically those who can survive this disaster. In other words, most of these people are wealthy people.

And people like them, if they can leave them a little way to survive, they will never leave Nanjun and flee like those people who cannot survive.

Shi Zhipei was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Mo Zizai, "Prince, in this case, they may not escape from Nanjun, but have you ever thought that once all industries wither and people's livelihood fall into chaos, how many people will die in vain in the entire Nanjun?"

"Prince, those small families can be dealt with at any time, but those people are so innocent."

Shi Zhipei gave a deep tribute and said in a low tone: "I hope the prince can think twice about this matter!"

"Sir Shi doesn't need to worry too much."

Mo Zizai reached out to support Shi Zhipei and said, "Since I have chosen to do this, I will naturally have a solution."

"After those aristocratic and small families are resolved, I will send all the Yulin Army to control the entire Nanjun."

"Free firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea will be completely prohibited from selling daily supplies according to the head of the people. Those who are ill-intentioned will be killed by the Yulin Army as soon as possible, reducing the impact to the minimum."

"What does Lord Shi think of this kind of military control last until the people's livelihood in Nanjun recover?"

"The entire Nanjun is under military control?"

Shi Zhipei was frightened by Mo Zizai's idea. Military control is not uncommon. When some cities are besieged, they often choose to implement military control strategies in the city to prevent turmoil within the city.

But this method is a bit too economic. Under the military control state, not only will the entire city be banned, but the normal work of many people will stagnate. If a city is fine, the entire county will be in military control, which is a bit too crazy.

“This is feasible!”

Just when Shi Zhipei was still considering Mo Zizai's plan, Yang Yanzhang, who was standing beside him, suddenly spoke, "If you don't break, you won't build it, you will build it."

"Nanjun is now like this. Even military control will not have any worse effects. If we can take this opportunity to get rid of the aristocratic families and wealthy families who are lying on the people and sucking blood, after this disaster, Nanjun will soon fall into a prosperous period!"

“It’s just that there’s one problem with doing this.”

Yang Yanzhang frowned and said, "The Yulin Army's current strength is less than 10,000. Even if we add the monks and Taoist soldiers of our Yuzhi Army and Qi Xiu, they will only be just over 10,000. If you want to control the military, you will be a little weak."

"Are there still county soldiers and those surrendered soldiers?"

Mo Zizai said lightly: "The surrendered soldiers and the county soldiers of Nanjun have almost 10,000 people, and the surrendered iron guard is second only to the Yuzhi army. With them, the strength will be almost the same."

"Submitted troops?"

Yang Yanzhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly stopped him and said, "Prince, the Iron Guard Army has just surrendered. If they are released, even if they do not rebel, they will definitely escape. This matter cannot be done."

"It's okay."

Mo Zizai shook his head indifferently, and said with a little cold expression in his tone: "I have a way to control them."

Hearing Mo Zizai's tone, Yang Yanzhang suddenly thought of the kind of thing that accelerated his cultivation. He subconsciously asked, "Is that thing?"

"Um."

Mo Zizai did not hide it either. He had discussed this matter with Wei Huang. He felt that with the control of the man in the secret, after the iron guard lost, he must have noticed Mo Zizai's ability. Since that's the case, there is no need to hide it anymore. It would be just right to release part of it to use it on the surrendered soldiers.

However, the part released should be different from the kind used by the soldiers under your command. First of all, the acceleration multiple cannot be the same as those of the Yuzhi Army. Secondly, the side effects of this kind used against surrendered soldiers should be emphasized.
