The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 169

These days, that landlord does not conceal some cultivated land, who does not conceal some tenants?

In the past ten years or so, the imperial court's control over Jiangdong has become weaker and weaker, and people with a little ambition here have risen one after another.But obviously they all misjudged the strength of the imperial court, so they raised troops once and failed once.There is no doubt about the benefits, the local accounts are in a mess, and the imperial court's control over this place has further weakened.

As far as Wuling County is concerned, the land under the names of the three tyrants is directly doubled, but only half of them are registered. In other words, they only need to pay half of the tax every time they pay taxes.

The three families also reached a tacit agreement to deal with the prefect together. During Cao Yin's time, he was almost emptied.The corruption in Wuling County also made Wang Rui very dissatisfied. He wanted to clean up Cao Yin several times, but he didn't expect that Cao Yin would use Sun Jian's hand to strike first.Later, Cao Yin abandoned his official position and left. In fact, some people said that he was killed. After all, he knew too many secrets.

It's okay to deal with Cao Yin who has no troops. Shi Hui invited them to the barracks and let them see the [-] soldiers under his command with their own eyes. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a demonstration.Shi Hui is fully capable of ransacking their families and exterminating their families, but he didn't. He dragged everyone into trouble with the help of audits, but the focus was on dealing with the He family.

As for everyone's problem, that is, in terms of money and food, this will not hurt muscles at all.But the key point is whether they expressed their support for Shi Hui to deal with the He family. Otherwise, Shi Hui can continue to investigate the money and food issue. It is unknown what the investigation will find out. At most, it will look ugly.

The Pan family spoke first, and the balance of the three might be broken, but it was better than paying a heavy price for it.Shi Hui took out the ledger, which meant that they had no moral advantage at all.If we really want to make their affairs public one after another, we may have to change from a 'great good person' to a 'great evil person'.

There is also compensation. Shi Hui did not mention the arable land under their name, which means that part of it is the "chip" of the transaction. When the time comes, it will be re-registered, or even if it is not listed, the latter will not make trouble for them again.

"With this method, it's no wonder that you can be the prefect of Changsha County!" The heads of the Pan family and the Zheng family exchanged glances, silently calculating in their hearts.Now the world is in chaos, and the imperial court has almost lost control of the place.

In the eyes of the two of them, Shihui is a warlord who not only controls Changsha County, but also has Jiaozhou as his backing. Especially recently, it seems that Lingling County has fallen into the hands of the Shijia.

Having already controlled Changsha and Lingling, Wuling and Guiyang must also fall into his hands.It is precisely because he regards the four counties as his territory, so naturally he can't see others 'moving his cake', anyway, that's probably what he meant.

After knowing this key point, the two families probably understood why Shi Hui wanted to deal with the He family.At the same time, they also realize that this may be an opportunity. If they have ambitions to fight, Shi Hui may not take their family to go further.

How powerful is Haoqiang? No one in his family has entered the imperial court to become an official, but Shi Hui is still relatively weak now. Maybe he can get there if he follows him?After having this idea, the two Patriarchs found that this idea could no longer be suppressed!
With the Pan family and the Zheng family coming forward, other gentry naturally responded one after another.Shi Hui was also polite, and directly asked the civil servants to read out the part of the food and salary owed by each family, and asked them to make up as soon as possible.Immediately, without talking nonsense, he explained a few words, and with a thousand Mo sword soldiers and a thousand strong archers, he rushed towards the He family in mighty force.

The He family didn't expect that Shihui would be so tyrannical, but they didn't go to the appointment and led the army to surround their Zhuangzi.

Although the He family is not a vegetarian, the family also has 100 private soldiers. They usually work as farmers, and when they need it, they immediately arm themselves into soldiers. They also have spears and leather armor. At first glance, he was extremely capable, and the Patriarch of the He family had no choice but to give in, so he came out for an interview and asked, "My lord, is there any misunderstanding?"

"There must be no misunderstanding! I will receive a report that your He family has cultivated land privately, has not registered with the government, and has not paid taxes for at least five years. There are [-] tenants under your name and have not reported to the court! So I will I personally sent someone to investigate and proved that there was such a thing! Then I investigated the previous account books and found that in the past ten years, the taxes paid by the He family were less than [-]% of what should be paid. How do you explain this problem?" Hearing this, Shi Hui said, Immediately shouted.

"The prefect may be deceived by villains. The He family has indeed reclaimed some farmland this year, but that is already the result of communication with the magistrate of Lingyang County. It's just that the time is tight and the procedures have been completed!" Since the He family dared to do that , Naturally, they have their credentials. The magistrate of Lingyang County has been fed by them for a long time. He only needs one sentence, and he will naturally obediently help them complete the land deed.

"Hmph, the Pan family, the He family, and even several gentry in Wuling are reporting on your He family. Two days ago I even sent people over to investigate, and only one of the five people who came back finally came back. Your He family is really serious. Awesome?" Shi Hui snorted coldly.

"Master, it should be the five people who came here yesterday..." The butler suddenly understood, and whispered in the Patriarch's ear.

There were indeed five people who came here yesterday to check the conditions of the He family's cultivated land, especially the cultivated land that had been privately opened for the past five years.Their behavior quickly aroused the suspicion of the servants and told the steward.The steward made a decisive decision and sent people to intercept and kill them, but who knew that five of them were so brave, one of them ran away, and more than 30 of their private soldiers were killed in battle.

In fact, he didn't know that Shi Hui was upset. The five he sent were all Mo Dao soldiers. Although none were equipped with Mo Dao, each of them had the combat power of a general. In the end, only one ran back, still injured. of.

The report also said that the He family dispatched more than 500 private soldiers at that time, but in Shi Hui's view, the armed forces controlled by the He family were probably more than [-]!
"Damn it, he's already going to have a plan for the He family! But what's going on with the Pan family and the Zheng family? The three families have been friends for three generations. Why did they betray the He family?" The head of the He family clenched his fists.

"The general thinks, what about the He family?" The head of the He family asked tentatively.

"Private land confiscation, the He family will make up for five years of taxes owed, and a three-year tax penalty. The missed payment must be made up, and at the same time, three years of taxes will be paid as a fine!" Shi Hui immediately announced the punishment.

According to this amount of punishment, the He family can basically go bankrupt directly, and the key point is to lose all the cultivated land cultivated before.The only way to survive is to sell other cultivated land under his name.

"You are trying to force the government to rebel against the people!" Patriarch He's eyes turned red instantly, his lips were bitten by teeth, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Ha, criminals can claim to be good citizens? It is you moths in the big man that cause the people to live in poverty!" Shi Hui laughed. In fact, it really counts. All families are moths, but unfortunately, he is also from a family.

The struggle between the aristocratic families is just like what Shi Xie said, either they should not take action, or they must be wiped out, otherwise the disaster will be endless.So this time, he specifically targeted the He family, and used the blood of the He family to kill chickens and monkeys.

"You think our He family is so easy to bully?" The head of the He family, looking at the soldiers who moved closer, immediately understood the intention of the soldier emblem, and immediately ordered the private soldiers to gather and arm themselves.

The gate of the He family opened soon, and three thousand private soldiers came out to gather one after another. Seeing all this, Shi Hui immediately joked: "It seems that you not only want to resist taxes, but also rebel?"

"The He family is honest and responsible for cultivating the land, why should your lord press you every step of the way?" The head of the He family tried to persuade him one last time.Three thousand private soldiers, even a mob, are somewhat deterrent.Especially the enemies in front of them are only two thousand!

"You don't need to make excuses for yourself. The He family's affairs will be made public after Japan is changed. Let everyone take a good look at the true face of the He family! But, I guess you won't be able to see it!" Shi Hui smiled faintly, " The He family gathered people to resist taxes, privately recruited soldiers and hid armed forces, not only in vain of the Han law, but even attempted to rebel, the crime should be punished!"

"Okay, you actually plan to destroy my He family? You wait, as long as there is a bloodline in my He family, I will endlessly fight against you!" The Patriarch of the He family gritted his teeth and angrily reprimanded.

"It's a pity that none of them can escape today!" Shi Hui greeted, and soon an archer shot a loud arrow towards the sky.Following a burst of screams, soldiers came out one after another, and in a blink of an eye, there were already 1 people surrounding Hejiazhuangzi.

"Patriarch of the He family, you are so calculating. On the one hand, you send people to fight against me, and on the other hand, you try to delay time and send all the grandchildren out of the family. Unfortunately, none of them can escape today! Kill me!" Shi Hui Laughed, and then gave the order.

"Little Shihui, I will never let you go even if I'm a ghost!" The Patriarch of the He family roared angrily. He had already seen that after Shihui gave the order, the surrounding soldiers had already charged towards Zhuangzi.

In particular, the thousand soldiers in the front were just a face-to-face effort. They held that weird weapon and cut down two or three Zhuang Ding with a single blow. human life.

What's more, it was cut with a knife, and the two armored men were split in half. The scene was really scary.

The private soldiers were private soldiers after all, but hundreds of people were killed in battle, and they were already so frightened that they couldn't care less about so many, they threw down their weapons and scattered like birds and beasts.In a blink of an eye, the army had already driven straight into Zhuangzi.

The direct descendants of the He family were indeed resisting, but in the end they couldn't resist. In less than a quarter of an hour, the clamor had stopped and everything had returned to calm.

"My lord, this kind of battle is boring. What's the point of bullying the weak?" Yang Xiong returned to Shi Hui's side not long after, and complained after reporting that the battle was over.

"Who made my reputation and prestige not reach the point where they can take the initiative to compromise? The formation of the gentry began in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it still has a great influence. The aristocratic family controlled public opinion, almost monopolized the dissemination of knowledge, and monopolized Talent recommendation. Before I break all this, I must abide by the rules they set." Shi Hui shook his head.

Originally, it was possible to rely on soldiers to push forward, but the only result was that all scholars from aristocratic families would leave with their seals.He even refuses to become an official in the future, and at the same time, within his sphere of influence, all channels for the poor to obtain knowledge will be further closed.

Among other things, Zheng Xuan would probably have to worry about his 'notoriety' and drive him out of the school.In the end, when the reputation is completely rotted, it is estimated that the talents above the silver level will not take refuge in him... Even those talents in the Three Kingdoms, most of them will not take refuge in him.

It is precisely because of this concern that Shi Hui has always acted within the scope of the rules, even this time he must first stand on the commanding heights of morality.

"Then hurry up, don't just hang out in Jiangdong..." Yang Xiong muttered, and didn't comment anymore.

"Why don't I want to hurry up?" Shi Hui sighed, feeling a little helpless.
