Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 165 Xu Guang
At this moment, in the flower hall, upon hearing Wu Deben's words, the heads of several other counties' families looked annoyed. It was an embarrassment mixed with anger. The four heads of Song, Li, Fang, and Du faced Wu Deben in unison. Deben glared at him with a feeling of backstabbing.

Yesterday, after Zou Yi left, under the leadership of Zhou Guangji, all the families discussed in private, and finally agreed on a common strategy of advancing and retreating. Those who bully the king.

What an inappropriate son of man!

Su Zhao looked at Wu Deben, his face paused, doubts flashed in his heart, and he said: "The Wu family understands righteousness, and they are lonely. It seems that Fengle County is not without generous righteous men."

Then he cast a pair of cold eyes at other Patriarchs such as Song, Li, Zhao, Fang, Du, etc. When they met this gaze, they all felt like thorns on their backs, and they couldn't dodge their gazes in time, and none of them dared to look directly at them.

Su Zhao was silent for a moment, and said: "The embankment of the Honghe River is not short of food and fodder, but manpower. The embankment of two or three hundred kilometers will be repaired within a month, and at least 50 soldiers and civilians will be needed. I never doubt it. Fengle County has these populations."

Speaking of this, Su Zhao raised his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Song Xing, Patriarch of the Song family!"

Song Xing is a fat middle-aged man, dressed in silk and satin, and wearing a fish beam crown. The Song family is mainly engaged in salt industry, money bank, pawn shop and other industries.

"Caomin is here." Being called in front of so many people, Song Xing's breathing was suddenly constricted, and he felt a shock all over his body. He responded quickly, facing the indifferent and scrutinizing eyes of the young prince, his heart was terrified, and his scalp tingled. numb.

"It is said that there are more than [-] children and servants in the eighth house of your Song family, and they all come and go. The maids and eunuchs in the lonely palace only add up to a few thousand people. The Song family has even more fields. There are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, compared with Yuan Ni, who has exterminated his family, it is not as good as it is, and now the head of the Song family generously donates five thousand shi, grain and rice. I don’t know if it is enough for the Song family’s servants and maidservants to spend a day?” Su Zhao’s pair of cold eyes Looking at Song Xing with cold eyes, he said: "The owner of the Song family runs the business of the bank, and the accountant is like a crucian carp crossing the river. Can this account be settled with Gu?"

"Caomin..." Song Xing faltered, his face gradually turning pale.

Behind him was a young man in a jade-colored gown with an elegant face, the son of Song Xing, Song Wen said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Song family's property is all from my father and ancestors. Lord, the grassroots have always looked up to them like a high mountain, and they should not do things that rob the subjects of their money and food..."

Su Zhao's face was indifferent, and he said sharply: "I've been working hard since I was a long-cherished sleeper? The savings from my ancestors? It's really justifiable!"

This is like an outspoken statement from later generations, why should the hard work of several generations lose to you after ten years of hard work?

Louis XVI of the Bourbon dynasty, with the efforts of more than ten generations, was he sent to the guillotine?
"Your grandfather used to be my little Situ in the country of Su. He was in charge of financial and tax audits for ten years. How much public money was embezzled during this time? It's true that the situation has changed, and I can't find out? I need to take care of your Song family for more than ten years. Annexation of fields, invasion of fishing villages, bribery of county magistrates, and great profits from salt and wine, will all the illegal things be revealed one by one?"

The Song family almost monopolizes Yanyin in Fengle County, and even the three southern counties are often constrained by it. As for illegal things, in this era of Taoism and Taoism, as long as you want to find out, you will never fail to find out.

Song Wen was stared at by a pair of cold eyes at the moment, facing the aura like the abyss and the sea, he felt his body was stiff and his breathing was a little difficult, as if he was being watched by the eyes of a wild beast that wanted to devour people.

Only then did he suddenly realize why his father, who had always been calm, panicked and lost his balance?

Just now, he thought it was just a mere boy...

"Why don't you continue talking about seizing money and food from the subjects?" Su Zhao asked suddenly.

Cold sweat gradually oozes from Song Wen's forehead. He lowered his head and moved his lower lip awkwardly, wanting to ask for forgiveness.

"That's your Song family's money and food? That's the lonely money and food!" Su Zhao drank heavily, and at this moment, he seemed to be possessed by "Hou Cong" from "Da Ming Dynasty 1566", and he was only short of a roar of a beast.

Song Wen faced Qi's prestige directly, his knees softened, and he knelt down in a "plop", unable to stand up.

The people in the hall were all terrified.

This is not just a young prince who wields the power of life and death, but also a quasi-real person who is about to condense the golden core and treats ordinary people like ants!

"Song Xing, what else do you have to say?"

Su Zhao's face was gloomy, and he tapped on the table lightly, his voice was calm, without the anger just now.

"The grass people are guilty!" With a plop, Song Xing also knelt down to plead guilty, gritted his teeth, bowed his head and said: "The grass people are willing to donate 80 shi of grain, six hundred sheep, five hundred mules and horses, and [-] servants. For you to build an embankment!"

But the young prince in the first place did not respond, and there was another burst of oppressive silence.

Song Xing gritted his teeth, "There are [-] pieces of silk cloth and [-] pieces of gold."

But still silent, the atmosphere gradually condensed into ice.

"4 child servants." Song Xing hissed as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Su Zhao said lightly: "Get up."

Song Xing had lost his mind, his back was soaked in cold sweat, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Su Zhao turned his attention to the family of Junwang below, landed on the Patriarch of the Li family, and said, "Patriarch Li, do you have nothing to say to Gu?"

The Patriarch of the Li family felt his heart skip a beat, enduring the pain in his heart, bowed his head and said: "The grass people are willing to donate 70 shi of grain and fodder, 3 mules and horses, and [-] boys and servants to help you build embankments."

Su Zhao turned his attention to Fang Du's family.

Fang and Du's two families also spoke out one after another, saying that it was also worth hundreds of thousands of shi.

The other [-] or so aristocratic families also bled profusely. As for how they gnashed their teeth and hated him, no one knew about it, but they didn't show it on the surface.

The scribes at the side quickly recorded it, and then Zou Yi handed it to Su Zhao.

Su Zhao held the above record, but there was no joy on his face, instead he was shocked and angry.

After his intimidation, the total grain and rice amounted to 800 million shi, more than 3000 mules and horses, and more than 8 child servants. Not to mention other things, the grain and rice were more than the treasury of Su State. This is a county!

As Su Zhao thought, it was all his money!
At the same time, I was shocked by the drama of land annexation in the Soviet Union, the prosperity of privately owned slaves, and the huge disparity between rich and poor!

"In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Su State, 20.00% of the people have controlled 80.00% of the property. This is only one county, let alone three caves, and the other generation only contributed one-third, or one-fourth of the book. One's wealth!" Su Zhao took a deep breath, suppressed the idea of ​​hanging all the local tyrants and evil gentry in front of him, and then the military took control of Fengle County.

He secretly comforted himself in his heart, even in a certain dynasty, there were eighteen households with trillions of households, and the euphemistic name was "get rich through hard work, don't be jealous."

"Giving all the land to the house, selling salt and iron, removing the slaves, all these things have to be done... After the river governance is over, after defeating Zheng Guo, with the power of victory, we will deal with these moths and hamsters." Su Zhao's face was dark. , My heart was secretly ruthless.

Of course, if it is destroyed by Zheng Guo, then all these ambitions will naturally be put on hold!
But as long as he was on stage for a day, he couldn't tolerate these vampire zombies.

Afterwards, there was a banquet, amidst the uneasiness of dozens of patriarchs, Su Zhao still said a few words of comfort, and under the jealous and hateful eyes of all the patriarchs, he left Wu Deben alone to say a few words, It is stated that he will go to Wufu in a few days.

Waiting for the Patriarch of the Junwang Family to disperse in twos and threes, Su Zhao walked slowly to the window and pointed out: "Zou Qing, I seem to have something to say."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid his generation will harbor resentment for today's matter." Zou Yi said euphemistically, "If there are people with a heart to connect..."

Su Zhao said: "Zou Qing, do you know what Gu was thinking just now?"

Zou Yi was obviously surprised by Su Zhao's misinterpretation, and said in a daze, "I'm stupid."

"Land reform, complaints, suppression of rebellion." Su Zhao said six words with a calm expression.

Zou Yi frowned, and his eyes were slightly focused. Although he couldn't understand the meaning of these words, for some reason, these six words gave him a bloody and pungent smell, but also contained a hint of cleansing demon. The glow of the atmosphere.

Su Zhao took a deep breath, he knew that if he did this, he might walk on a road of blood and thorns.

But even that group of people is not as unique as him!
What he cultivates is humanity, the great power belongs to himself, and the source of his power comes from the most vast...

This is the power that can be realized. Immortality, with the constitution of heaven in your mouth, and the law you say, will open the era of the immortal dynasty, and respond to the needs of billions of people with one person's heart.
In fact, Su Zhaozhi's thought was not so shocking to the world. In this era, Confucianism had already put forward the blueprint of a "Great Harmony Society".

Those who till the fields have their fields, and they will not eat without labor!

　What happened in the Six Dynasties, it only became a private plan of the family?
