Episode fifty-seven: come to the end(1/2)
Since Jia Qiang ascended the throne, his kindness and forgiveness to the people have reached an unprecedented level.
Almost every year, I will find a son to reduce taxes from the people.
Of course, it is also because Annan, Siam, Xiao Liuqiu, Qin Fan and Tang Fan are supporting the fertile and heavy grain production areas.
But no matter what, Jia Qiang's kindness has been praised by countless people.
So much so that they forgot how this Lord started his business...
The Longan Emperor relied on it as a sharp blade and destroyed the homes of many Yuanping heroes and old ministers Jingchu.
As for the local tyrants, they were even more killed by him!
During the years of the drought, the three-foot Qingfeng sword was used to kill the heads of countless gentry in the giant chamber and use the blood of the high-sects to support the dynasty's failure to recreate the chaos and shatter the country at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
In the past twenty years, the people and even the aristocratic races have forgotten these things and only remember the benevolence of the emperor.
However, early this morning, the people of the capital and many high-ranking sects finally remembered that this true dragon emperor was also good at cannibalizing people!
Thousands of cavalry embroidered guards galloped back and forth between the government offices, the Imperial College and the high gates of the government offices.
Prison vans, carrying iron chains, carried the noble and noble people with horror and despair, towards the imperial prison.
What's more, in front of Caishikou, dozens of people recited poems and talked about each other last night. The officials of the Imperial College, the Imperial College student, were suddenly killed by a group of riders!
A discerning person can see that these people who were killed or imprisoned were all from the Zhongshi family, the Chu family and the Shangguan family in the nine major surnames in Jiangnan.
Public opinion was in an uproar...
The reason why the nine surnames in Jiangnan can last for a hundred years is not because their poetry and rituals are passed down from family, but because their families are "big imperial examination masters".
Perhaps it is impossible to produce Hanlin generations, but each generation has a second-class Jinshi, and several third-class Jinshi are no problem.
If a civil servant can achieve success in generations, then his family is much more terrifying than ordinary hereditary military officers and powerful people.
Especially in the peaceful years, civil servants are the giants who control the power of the world!
The nine surnames in Jiangnan are all such generations of soldiers.
Especially the Chu family and Shi family, under the persuasion of Qi Taizhong, the head of the Qi family in Yangzhou, strongly supported Jia Qiang to develop Xiaoliuqiu and Qin Fan.
After Jia Qiang ascended the throne, he received great rewards.
Even after Qi Taizhong's death, the two families gradually contracted the Qin vassal family business, Jia Qiang still did not care too much and allowed him to survive in Jiangnan, as long as he did not resist the new policy.
But unexpectedly, Chu Lun, the head of the Chu family, was considered a very smart person at the beginning, but his juniors were short-sighted and even the development of Xiaoliuqiu was suspended. It was just that the investment was too large and the output was not enough to satisfy his greed. Most of the output had to be handled by Delin, so some taxes were paid.
So even though the harvest is getting more and more, the nine surnames gradually gave up on Xiao Liuqiu.
Land in Jiangnan also has to pay land taxes, and the use of tenants and slaves is also restricted...
A series of conflicts of interest have gradually moved away from the nine surnames and the imperial court.
But even the Military Affairs Office did not expect that the Tian family would suddenly drop a butcher knife to solve the problem.
Although only three families are implemented, the nine surnames have been connected for hundreds of years, so how can they be separated?
Especially the serious crime of treason!
For a moment, all kinds of rumors were raging, and the voices were flooding!
...
West Garden, Qinzheng Hall.
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang with complicated eyes, and even he gradually felt a sense of awe for this disciple.
If you are still, keep your silence above the nine heavens. If you are not moved, you will be gone. If you move, you will be like thunder falling from the sky, carrying the divine power of the nine heavens, making sentient beings tremble.
As if he felt Lin Ruhai's thoughts, Jia Qiang looked at the elderly gentleman with a gentle look and said softly: "I have given them a chance. Qin Fan, Annan, Siam, and Xiao Liuqiu. They want to become a century-old rich family, and even raise some private soldiers to protect themselves. This kind of kindness is unprecedented and there will be no more people in the future. Unfortunately, they do not cherish it and abandon it as if they are walking. They also try to manipulate the officialdom and control Jiangnan."
There is no need for Jia Qiang to cover up anything about Lin Ruhai.
He is like this, but Lin Ruhai can't do this.
After a little silence, he buried his questions about whether Jia Qiang knew about yesterday's case in advance, or even whether he was simply involved in it. He slowly said: "The nine surnames have been working in Jiangnan for more than a hundred years, with deep roots and vast branches and leaves. This crime has no warning to them, but there is no preparation for the court. In a hurry, don't cause trouble..."
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "There is no trouble. The current governor of Liangjiang is Qi Yun, and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is Xu Zhen. With him, Jiangnan cannot be troubled."
Lin Ruhai pondered for a moment and nodded, "Qi Yun may not be as wise as his ancestor Qi Taizhong, but he is calm and has neat methods and is not restricted."
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "This is... Qi Wanhai, the second son of the Qi family, wanted to rebel against the West and collude with the Western barbarians in Malacca and occupy land as kings. Qi Yun took it with thunder and beheaded himself, completely calming down the crisis in Malacca. This person will be of great use in the future. He has the qualifications to rule the vassal states, and now he is also in the local territory. After going to the frontier for another five years, he can return to the capital and enter the cabinet."
Lin Ruhai said: "It seems that Yu Wanzhou will be him?"
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "It's generally the case."
Lin Ruhai thought for a while and said, "Okay, this person is well-known and has watched all the way. Emperor, this major case should be mainly based on the punishment of the Great Punishment, or..."
Jia Qiang's smile was mostly closed and said lightly: "Half to half. Women and children can be spared from death. They will be sent to the Song Fan, and all adult males will be killed. It's not that I am cruel. I have given too many opportunities, but some people are destined to be unable to influence or change. In addition, kill one to warn a hundred!"
Lin Ruhai frowned deeply when he heard this.
I have killed too many things, and they are all seeds of reading...
"Sir, only by using thunder and lightning can you show the heart of the Bodhisattva."
Jia Qiang didn't explain too much, nor did he need to explain too much, because Lin Ruhai could understand.
When Lin Ruhai heard this, his expression changed again. With his cunning and concentration, he actually stood up, paced back and forth with crutches several times behind him, and looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Is it too early to cut off the aristocratic family?"
What's the matter with the opening of a slaughterhouse?
It's just a killing chicken to scare the monkey!
Warning the world's families:
Under the emperor's order, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish!
It is a sin to be too strong for a family, and going out early is the right way.
But what Lin Ruhai said makes sense. At present, most of the noble families are new nobles, and they have not been rich for too long. Let’s fight now. Will it hit the urgency and make the world wind shackle the trend of rigidity...
After all, these people are always those who serve as officials in the court and shepherd the world for the emperor.
Jia Qiang smiled and shook his head and said, "Sir, don't worry. For officials, it is a commoner who is like a leek, and it is a resurrection. For the court, it is a rank like a leek, and it is a resurrection. What's more, I am much stronger than the officials and gentry, and at least I still give them a way to live a wealthy life. But those gentry have become wealthy families, and are they still willing to treat the people as human beings?
In order to demonstrate the noble status of the nine surnames in Jiangnan, they refused to use Silla maids. Siamese maids were servants and only enslaved the Han people.
What a courageous! Most of the eunuchs and maids in my palace are now people from other provinces and vassals, and they are more noble than me!
The nine major surnames occupied Jiangnan and deceived the law to replace the law. Relying on the high heaven and the emperor who did whatever he wanted, they dared to continue to release the seal money and harm the people.
If you don’t check it, you won’t know. If you really go deeper, the facts really make me angry!
This time, since they fell into my hands by themselves, they would not blame me for killing me!
Not only did they start a massacre of gentry, but they would have to deal with the gangsters among the people, the strong men who harmed and bullied the people, but also those black kiln houses that still regard the Han women as their daughters. They would all be severely attacked!
Fifteen years of lenient and political decrees have not only nourished the vitality of the world and allowed the people to reproduce and reproduce, but also allowed some evil people to take the opportunity to grow stronger. It would not be possible without a severe crackdown, and it would destroy the foundation of people's livelihood and happiness.
Don't worry, sir, I have been planning for this matter for two years and there will be no big mistakes."
Lin Ruhai nodded slowly and asked again: "So, do each family have room to refuse the prince's proposal for marriage?"
Jia Qiang raised his eyebrows and laughed, "My prince's son asked to marry the princess, but someone else politely declined? Why did he politely decline?"
Lin Ruhai laughed silently and shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that someone will complain, the Tian family's eating habits are too ugly..."
I am afraid that someone will complain, but I am not afraid that someone will make trouble.
Over the past fifteen years, Jia Qiang's reputation in Dayan has long reached the level of the most holy person on earth. Unless he encounters several setbacks in the world, no one can shake it.
And his control of military power even surpassed that of the founding Emperor Taizu of all dynasties.
After all, there is no dynasty or generation in the army, all military officers above the garrison must go to the Royal Military Academy to study.
After the twelve years of Yuanwu, military officers above the lieutenant were required to graduate from the Royal Military Academy.
These military officers regard themselves as emperor disciples!
In the army, from the governor's office of the Five Army to the ordinary soldiers, it is necessary to recite the laws of the Great Yan army frequently.
The first rule of the Great Yan military law is to swear to be loyal to the great emperor to the death, long live!
Don’t underestimate this. With Jia Qiang’s reputation and achievements, millions of troops in the world have been reciting the saints for more than ten or even decades, and what they have condensed is the indestructible faith!
This kind of faith can even be passed on. As long as the successor does not make big mistakes, loyal faith will continue to accumulate.
Jia Qiang created these things with one hand, so he was fearless and laughed: "What's the ugly thing about this? My prince's wedding is going to go out to build a feudal state and become the lord of a country. Their daughters all want to become a queen of a king, and their mothers are in the world. Isn't that a good thing?
I gave each of their families 200,000 taels of gold as a betrothal gift. Is it appropriate if they don’t pay back some dowry?
What's more, they don't need to give much gold and silver. The princes need to find the country more.
They were all over the court and the country, and this dowry was nothing to them?
I am the most fair person.”
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang in a daze and suddenly said, "It seems that the emperor has really aspired to abdicate..."
If not, how could he do such a big move, pull out the thorns and clean up the high-level families with such strength?
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "It's not that fast, but power can slowly transition to him."
