Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 280 Abolishing County and Changing Township ([-])

Liaodong County
"Gentlemen, General Liang has fallen."

Wang Guang, the newly appointed Liaodong prefect, said.

A year ago, considering that Wang Yun seemed to have been Confucianized and was no longer suitable to be a prefect, Jiacheng spent another [-] million yuan and asked the general Liang Ji to transfer the corrupt Confucian Wang Yun to Luoyang as an official, so that Wang Yun could serve as an official in Luoyang. It's enough for Luo Yang to increase the reputation of the Wang family, don't stay in Liaodong to help.

At the same time, Wang Guang, who earned (greedy) (dirty) one billion for the family, became the new Liaodong prefect.

In the past few years when he was the prefect of Liaodong, Wang Yun felt that his faith had collapsed. The family council kept forcing him to issue various policies to Liaodong in the name of the prefect that were conducive to the land merger of the three major families.

But over time, he got used to it and joined in the corruption.

But the family council was still worried. In order to prevent the Wang Yun incident from happening again, they still sent him to Luoyang.

"Brother is greedy in Liaodong, and I am greedy in Luoyang. If you and I combine two swords, we will definitely make the family rich and prosperous!" Before leaving, Wang Yun said to Wang Guang.

Corruption is the mission of the Wang family's children and a method for the Wang family to increase financial revenue.

However, Wang Yun and Wang Guang are still somewhat different.

Although Wang Yun is also greedy, he still recognizes Confucian classics in his heart, thinking that as long as Confucianism can be carried forward, there may be a chance to save the world.

But Wang Guang is much more simple. He simply regards Confucian classics as a tool for his corruption and a stepping stone to make money.

This time, Wang Guang handed over all the money obtained from corruption in Liangzhou to the family council, and he will continue to fight at the forefront of corruption, sacrificing his life for the family to increase financial revenue.

As far as the Wang family is concerned, Wang Guang is the true saint who is selfless and impartial.

The [Tianmu Forced Requisition Order] was also issued by Wang Guang, the prefect of Liaodong. He issued it in the name of the prefect's mansion and the imperial court, not in the name of the three major families. There is still a difference.

Although no matter in whose name it is released, in the end Tianmu will only become the family of the three major families.

"Now the imperial court is busy purging each other's relatives and eunuchs. If we in Liaodong don't take the opportunity to speed up the land annexation, when will we wait?"

"If God doesn't take it, you will be blamed instead."

"God gave us the opportunity to merge the land. If we don't merge the land, wouldn't we be sorry to God?"

When the emperor Liu Zhi took five small eunuchs to secretly kill the general Liang Ji, Liaodong was not idle, and while completely annexing all the remaining land in Liaodong (except Wenchengli and Donglai areas), he hurriedly wrote an article He angrily reprimanded the Fu of Liang Ji, the great general of his relatives.

【Rebuke Liang Ji】

In this Fu, the royal family of Liaodong strongly criticized Liang Ji as a treacherous official who was corrupt, contemptuous of imperial power, fishy people, inhumane, unfaithful, unkind, unfilial, and inferior to animals. Gaozu (Emperor), is the emperor of the great China through the ages!
Although the Wang family often gave gifts to Liang Ji in recent years, with the help of Liang Ji, they completed the merger of Liaodong County and Donglai County and the transformation of abolished counties into townships. At the same time, they also obtained the position of Liaodong Prefect with Liang Ji's help.

But this does not prevent the Wang family of Liaodong from angrily denouncing Liang Ji, who is already dead, as a treacherous minister who will bring disaster to the country and the people!

His Majesty the Emperor is the only sun in our Liaodong royal family!
Our Liaodong royal family has nothing but loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor!
"According to the characteristics of our big man, since the foreign relatives have fallen, then the eunuchs will gain power next, and we in Liaodong must give gifts to the eunuchs." The county magistrate beside him stroked his beard and smiled. He is the head of the Zhang family and has already He is over 50 years old and has been the county magistrate in Liaodong for 50 years, because he was already the magistrate of Liaodong county when he was six years old.

"There are five eunuchs who have been granted the title of Marquis, and each eunuch will send 1000 million yuan, a total of 5000 million yuan, which should be enough." Prefect Wang Guang said with a smile.

"We have to add some beautiful women and rare treasures." The magistrate of Sixiang County, who is the head of the Li family, added.

Although the current Sixiang County is called a county, its actual area is about the same size as a state in the Central Plains, but the registered population of the imperial court is only [-].

These 3000 people are all in Wenchengli (formerly Wencheng County), and in the entire Sixiang County area outside Wenchengli, there is not even a single owner farmer, and there are only [-] tenant farmers left, and the rest are pastures.

The population of the former Liaodong region has dropped from 100 more than 50 years ago to 10.

Even the population of 10 is still declining, and 8000 people are shipped overseas every year.

A large number of people migrated out of Liaodong, resulting in a large area of ​​wasteland left uncultivated in Liaodong.

For these uncultivated wastelands, it is impossible for the three major families to give them to the people, but directly transform them into pastures for grazing.

As for the common people, they can only wait to be relocated overseas to open up wasteland overseas.

Because selling wool is more profitable than selling grain, the Zhang family and the Li family are also trying to find a way to force the people in their ruled area to be relocated by the Wang family, and then the land will be freed to graze.

"It's a pity that Liang Ji has more than 30 billion yuan, tsk tsk." A Zhang family's son said with regret in the prefect's mansion.

After Liang Ji, the great general of his relatives, was killed and his entire family was exterminated, the eunuchs confiscated countless belongings from his mansion, and after selling them at half price, they actually sold them for more than 30 billion.

"It's still sold at half price, and the real family property is probably 70 billion yuan. It's worthy of being Liang Ji!" Wang Guang, the prefect, was also very envious, envious of Emperor Liu Zhi who confiscated so much wealth from Liang Ji's house.

After Emperor Liu Zhi copied Liang Ji's home, he directly announced that the world's taxes would be halved for one year.

Everyone in the world said: Liang Ji fell, and the emperor was full.

What is the concept of 70 billion embezzled money being sold at a low price of more than 30 billion?

It can be compared with the tax revenue of the imperial court.

Today's big man's annual tax revenue is only 60 billion.

The original value of Liang Ji's family property was 70 billion.

Even the three major families in Liaodong, relying on "Resisting Goguryeo", only sucked one billion blood from the imperial court every year. After more than 50 years, they only sucked more than 500 billion blood. He has embezzled billions before and after being an official, and the total is only 600 billion.

Even if the more than 200 billion embezzled by the Wang family in the former Han Dynasty is added, the total is only more than 800 billion.

Liang Ji, a general with a foreign relative, has embezzled money for decades alone, which is equivalent to a year's tax of a big man, and is also equivalent to one-tenth of the total amount of embezzlement by the three major families in Liaodong for hundreds of years .

"It's a pity that my Wang family failed to participate in the counterattack against Liang Ji. Otherwise, maybe I could take the opportunity to get back the Huotan clothing and spider silk soft armor." Wang Guang sighed like this, and then continued to discuss with Zhang and Li's family. The planning of the entire Liaodong County.

Liaodong County can be roughly divided into two parts, namely Sixiang County and Donglai County.

The counties of Donglai are actually directly merged by Donglai County. They have not been annexed by the three major families, and they belong to a piece of virgin land to be annexed.

Sixiang County is the result of the merger of the three major families.

Sixiang County includes: all eighteen counties (18) of the original Liaodong County, all eighteen counties (18) of the original Lelang County, Gaojuli County (1) of the original Xuantu County, and the east of Shanhaiguan in the original West Liaoning County The eight counties (8) in China are 45 counties (45) in total. The 45 counties were all slowly downgraded over hundreds of years, and then merged continuously, and finally merged into one county now.

A small county in the Central Plains generally has 10 counties, a large county generally has 20 counties, and very few particularly wealthy counties may have 30 counties.
