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

Chapter 292 Xu Township Storm ([-])

Liaodong County

Huang County
Xu Township
After Emperor Guangwu reunified the world, he abolished counties and changed townships. Among them, Xuxiang County in the former Han Dynasty was abolished as a township, and then merged into the nearest Huang County.

According to the "Three Mutual Laws", the Wang family is from Liaodong County, so they cannot be officials in Liaodong County.

But the Wang family is not from Huang County, so they can be officials in Huang County.

After simply passing the recommendation of Liaodong prefect Cao Song's inspection system, he secretly stuffed 1000 million yuan into the eunuch, and also took the positions of Huangxian magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant.

When passing the inspection system, I also made up a few short stories by the way, namely [Wang Yi Rang Orange] [Wang Xiao Rang Banana] [Wang Kuan Rang Jujube] (Baogai, No. 16 generation family children.)
Wang Yi gave up the oranges to Wang Xiao, Wang Xiao gave up the bananas to Wang Kuan, and Wang Kuan gave up the red dates to Wang Yi.

Finally, after Cao Song, the governor of Liaodong, heard about their deeds, he was impressed by the filial piety and virtue of the three Liaodong Wangs, so he recommended the three to be officials in three years.

The reason why it took three years was because the counties in Donglai belonged to Liaodong County, and the counties in Donglai had a population of 37. According to the rule of one quota for every 20 people in the Han Dynasty, Liaodong County could only prosecute one person per year.

As for the 1000 million yuan, it means that the Liaodong Wang family has a good relationship with the eunuch in private. Otherwise, ordinary wealthy businessmen would go to the eunuch to secretly buy an official. 6000 million.

Although the imperial court is actually selling Sangong, but at present it is only selling secretly.

Moreover, the position of Sangong is quite embarrassing.

The gentry disdain to spend money to buy Sangong. The goal is too big, and it is easy to be ridiculed by other gentry. On the contrary, buying a county magistrate will not attract attention, and you can use the power of the county magistrate to engage in land annexation and the like.

Although rich merchants have money to buy Sangong, they are easily slaughtered by the court because they have no background. For example, the same Taiwei may only be 2000 million if sold to a noble family such as the Liaodong Wang family, and sold to a merchant such as the Xuzhou Mi family. The family may want [-] million.

The reason why the price of the county magistrate is the same as that of the Sangong is because the current Sangong actually has no real power, and the power has been concentrated in the Shangshutai and the General's Mansion. The Sangong is now an honorary official, and the actual power of the Sangong is not as good as that of a county. make.

Emperor Liu Hong turned a blind eye to the matter of eunuchs selling officials in private, and he didn't care anymore, and even shared the money with the eunuchs.

The emperor took the lead in making money, this world is so bad.

What Liu Hong thought was that anyway, those so-called virtuous ministers would corrupt and corrupt my empire anyway.

Since no matter who takes office, my empire will be corrupted, it is better to let them pay first and then corrupt, so that at least I can have money to recruit soldiers and buy horses and enjoy myself, and I will not be corrupted if I have no money. Have you been taken advantage of?
The current emperor, Liu Hong, can only choose one of two options, either choose the empire to be corrupted and have no money to make money, or choose the empire to be corrupted but can make money.

The lesser of the two powers and harms.

He, Liu Hong, finally understood that no matter whether he sells an official or not, a big man will die. If this is the case, it is better to sell an official, so that at least he can enjoy it before he dies completely.

As long as the big man is not in my hands, the country will be subjugated. As for after I die, the country will be subjugated, it doesn't matter, there is no country that will not perish.

Life is short, enjoy yourself in time!
After I die, no matter the flood!

It wasn't because of selling an official that the big man died, but because the big man was already dead, so he had to sell his official to forcefully continue his life.

In the current Huang County, the magistrate Wang Yi, the county magistrate Wang Xiao, and the county lieutenant Wang Kuan.

"Xu Township, after more than 300 years, our Wang family has returned!" Inside the county office, the county magistrate Wang Yi sighed.

More than 300 years ago, the Wang family already wanted to get their hands on Xu Township.

The second-generation patriarch Wang Taihao even established a network of relationships in Xu Township, and even married Xu's family in Xu Township, planning to enter Xu Township to engage in land mergers.

However, things don't always go as they should. Jianren suddenly rebelled, and the Wang family had to shelve their grand annexation plan to enter Xu Township.

Afterwards, in order to solve the financial crisis, Wang Tairan, the patriarch of the third generation, tearfully sold off some assets of the Wang family in Xu Township, and then focused his development on Liaodong.

It took more than 300 years to say goodbye to Xu Township. In an instant, Xu Township has changed from a county to a real township.

"The unfinished business of the ancestors must be completed by our descendants." The county magistrate Wang Xiao said firmly.

"Before the Liu Bang Zhan White Snake Uprising, we were engaged in land annexation. Now the big man seems to be about to perish, and we are still engaging in land annexation. This is called persistence, and this is called perseverance!" County Wei Wang Kuan said.

It took nearly 400 years, and the entire territory of Liaodong was finally annexed by the three major families. There are only [-] homeowners left in the entire Liaodong, and the real population is only [-]. Population can migrate overseas.

The normal price of an acre of good land is 20000 renminbi, the normal price of an acre of ordinary land is 3000 renminbi, and the normal price of an acre of bad land is 500 renminbi.

If calculated according to ordinary fields, the fields in the entire Huang County are about 180 million mu, and the entire merger will cost about 54 billion yuan.

It costs 54 billion yuan to annex a medium-sized county, which is obviously unacceptable to the Wang family.

Our Wang family is a free prostitute in Liaodong, and we have never bought such an expensive field.

But there is good news this year, that is, half a month ago, a tsunami occurred in Xu Township, which affected about 50 mu of land and displaced [-] people.

"Go and inform the prefect's mansion to prohibit the transfer of food from other counties to Huang County, just say... to prevent bandits from robbing grain." As a county magistrate, Wang Yi directly asked someone to issue an order to the prefect's mansion of Liaodong County. The prefect ordered.

Land annexation is still the old method. In times of disaster, grain adjustments are prohibited, and then the people who have no food can only use their own fields to find the Wang family in exchange for rations.

What if there is no disaster year?Then artificially create a disaster year, such as... destroying embankments and flooding fields.

"Go and tell Jiacheng again, requesting the family to transport a large amount of pickled fish from Niulang Island, and plan to use these pickled fish in exchange for the victims' fields."

"For the disaster victims who have land, let them exchange the land for rations, and for the disaster victims without land, let them be directly transported overseas to open up wasteland."

"The price per mu of land is set at...one mu of good land for ten fish, one mu of ordinary land for one fish, and one mu of bad land for one bite of fish."

"The price of the population...a young adult is equal to one fish, a young girl is equal to two fish, and a child is equal to a mouthful of fish. The elderly don't want it, and we don't even accept money if they post it."

"Artisans, scholars, and doctors, these three are special cases, no matter their gender or age, as many as there are."

"Let's implement it according to this plan initially, and discuss it again if there are any problems."

He treated the prefect's mansion with an orderly tone, and treated the family council and the family cheng with a requesting tone.

The county magistrate Wang Yi said something roughly. It was also the first time for him to preside over the matter of land annexation, and he still had a lot of operations to learn slowly, especially asking Jiacheng Wang Guang for advice.
