Although before this, Qin He had already made a very bold guess about the wealth of Sihai Trading Company.

But after actually seeing the list sent, Qin He was still shocked.

Not to mention the industries controlled by Sihai Commercial Bank, the silver in the hands of Sihai Commercial Bank is an astronomical figure.

The four words "wealthy and wealthy" are not an adjective when applied to Sihai Trading Company. It is a fact.

Especially Qin He didn't even know that Sihai Trading Company secretly controlled a huge amount of land.

These lands seem to be held by some landowners, and those landowners seem to be backed by gentry.

But the real owner behind the scenes is Sihai Trading Company.

For a feudal dynasty that was mainly based on agriculture, land was the lifeblood.

Your lifeline is in someone's hands, which is a very dangerous thing.

Of course, there are also a large number of businesses that are also controlled by Sihai Commercial Bank.

This is also a dangerous thing. For example, salt is an industry with extremely exaggerated profits. At the same time, the safety of salt is also related to the security of the entire country.

As a condiment that must be used every day, its safety is really important.

Faced with the sudden increase in wealth, Qin He was pleasantly surprised, but he did not eat it all in one bite.

Qin He once discussed with Qin Che where the biggest difficulty would be if he wanted to overthrow these noble clans.

Qin Che told Qin He that the biggest difficulty is not whether you have money or not, nor whether you have enough force.

It depends on whether there is support if you want to overthrow them.

This is the real key.

Dazhou is a country, but this country is composed of countless ordinary people.

If they support it, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be a powerful dynasty. If no one supports it, then the Great Zhou Dynasty will be nothing.

Qin He now has a good opportunity to win people's hearts.

The land and businesses privately controlled by Sihai Commercial Bank are a good opportunity to win over people's hearts.

After thinking for a long time, Qin He directly wrote down several strategies for handling these assets.

First, all land controlled by Sihai Trading Company was confiscated and owned by the imperial court. All landowners who held it on behalf of Sihai Trading Company were beheaded in public display.

However, all tenants who have leased these lands will not do anything with them.

At the same time, all rents that were originally exploited by landlords will be exempted, and the rent will also be directly halved.

Secondly, except for a few businesses controlled by the Sihai Commercial Bank, which were the most profitable and related to the safety of the court, the rest of the industries were allowed to ordinary people.

These two policies are enough to win over a large number of people for Qin He.

Dazhou has the largest number of farmers, and land is their foundation.

Qin He directly reduced their rent by two-thirds. How could these farmers not support Qin He?

In addition, in terms of business, Qin He directly told all the merchants through actions that the imperial court was not eager for the wealth of Sihai Trading Company, but because Sihai Trading Company threatened the safety of the imperial court.

After the imperial court solved the Sihai Trading Company, it did not monopolize business. They were now allowed to enter businesses that they had never been able to get involved in in the past.

This is equivalent to wooing all the merchants over.

In addition, Qin He had begun to promote the imperial examination, which was equivalent to attracting scholars all over the world.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, except for scholars, the other three are now on Qin He's side.

If Qin He wants to touch the remaining taxis, the other three will not only not object, but will also rush to help.

Because there are such examples before, everyone will think that if the gentry can be overthrown.

Then they can have more cheap land, more industries to enter, better promotion channels and better promotion status.

Driven by this kind of thinking, the countdown to the demise of the gentry can really begin now.

I read the imperial edict of my signal carefully again and made sure there were no problems.

Qin He also asked Xiao Dezi to come over and cover the jade seal.

After the jade seal was sealed, Qin He directly asked Xiao Dezi to spread the imperial edict to all the prefectures and counties in the Great Zhou Dynasty overnight in the form of a newspaper.

As for if there are local resistance activities, there will be exactly 50,000 imperial troops deployed in many places. They will also deal with the troublemakers and cut off the wings of these noble families in advance.

The first to see the imperial edict were naturally the heads of the noble families living in the capital.

Seeing Qin He's highly targeted edict, they all frowned.

They could barely withstand the imperial examination before.

After all, they have been entrenched in the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years.

The sphere of influence can be said to be so intricate that it cannot be overthrown by just one imperial examination system.

But now Qin He's shot was extremely accurate, hitting them seven inches directly.

The method used by these nobles to control the Great Zhou Dynasty was nothing more than land and commerce.

Now Qin He directly took out a large amount of land and leased it directly to farmers at low prices.

Then will the farmers under their control not be moved when they see this situation?

Obviously impossible.

If they are tempted, but they find that the cheap land has been rented out, what will they think?

Naturally, I hope Qin He can come to rescue them soon.

The same is true in the business field.

Once people's hearts start to move, it means that big changes are about to happen.

For the gentry, this was a major event that would definitely shake their foundation.

Now there are not many choices before them.

It will definitely be difficult for scholars to save themselves now.

Farmers and businessmen, they can be saved.

And the method is very simple, that is, they also lower the rent of the land and let the tenants they control continue to support them.

But lowering rent is not a simple issue.

When the gentry has developed to their level, the family has become an extremely large existence.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In such an extremely large family, it is inevitable that there will be many mountains.

The fact that there are many trees on the hilltop means that there is a mixture of good and bad, but not everyone can see that this matter is intended to deal with nobles like them in the long run.

So when these clan leaders in the capital want to take away their interests, they will naturally not agree.

By then, maybe the tenants will be okay, but chaos will start in their own homes.

The same applies to merchants.

The heads of the noble clans in the capital were also very troubled when they saw Qin He's edict that pointed directly at the vital points.

They knew clearly that Qin He would definitely take action against them.

Not only Qin He, but also Qin He's father had already begun to sharpen his sword against them.

It's just that the Three Kingdoms Rebellion was blocking the way at that time, but now the Three Kingdoms Rebellion has subsided.

Then naturally the next step is to use the knife on them.

Although they know everything, they are also planning everything to make Qin He's plan fail as much as possible, or to allow both parties to reach some kind of balance.

But the sudden collapse of Sihai Trading Company really caught them by surprise.

The Four Seas Trading Company has affected too many people.

First, Qin He purged a wave of his wings, and now he saw Qin He’s imperial edict directly pointing to the vital point.

These elderly parents are really very tired.

They have even seen that their family is about to be disbanded amid the ups and downs.

Chang Kun, the provincial servant of one of the three elders who was rescued before, looked at his heirs and sighed deeply, saying: "You all get up, I have already paid attention, so you don't need to persuade me."<

/p>

"Father, are we really going to admit defeat like this?" the eldest son, the Minister of Tobe, said very unwillingly.

After Chang Kun heard what his eldest son said, he was also very angry and aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do.

Qin He's moves are really fast and sharp, and they go straight to the point.

The key is that with the help of Qin He, Qin Che and Hei Yamen, Sihai Trading Company fell down as soon as he was told, and it was done so easily that they were really surprised.

"If you don't admit defeat, the final result will be a complete defeat. I'm already old and I don't have a few more years to live.

But I can't watch the day when you are all executed.
