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

Chapter 94 The Crowd ([-])

one year later
Yuan Ding two years
After the implementation of the counting order, the major families falsely reported their property. Among them, the Wang family reported only 180 gold, the Zhang family reported 150 gold, the Li family reported [-] gold, and the other four families also reported a little more than [-] gold.

Only the Lu family in Xiangping County honestly reported their real property to the court, and then went bankrupt this year because of paying taxes.

The owner of the Lu family had to sell [-] mu of fertile land at a low price to pay taxes to the court and maintain daily expenses, but this was just drinking poison to quench thirst. If there is no reduction, it will be a matter of time before the family completely declines.

Among the [-] mu of fertile land, the six major families of Wang, Zhang, Li, Guo, Lu, and Chen all got some.

The Wang family purchased [-] mu of land, the Zhang family purchased [-] mu of land, the Li family purchased [-] mu of land, and Guo Lu and Chen each purchased [-] mu of land.

Through this round of counting orders from the imperial court, many tyrants in the world went bankrupt, but at the same time, some tyrants who survived by luck took the opportunity to continue to expand their family businesses.

And these are all private procedures, not official procedures, so these fields will not be recorded in the accounting books.

In addition to these gains, the six major families in Liaodong also had other gains.

Due to the concealment of property by the world's powerful and powerful, the counting order can only harvest the honest and powerful leeks, but not the cunning and powerful leeks. Therefore, the imperial court issued a warning order to encourage the people all over the world to report and expose those rich people who concealed their property. Those tenant farmers who have been poor all their lives, those impoverished self-cultivating farmers, and even some poor children who are depressed, all report the rich people around them.

Because once the revelation is true, the whistleblower can get half of the family property of the whistleblower, and the other half belongs to the court.

For more than a year, there have been reports and reports in various places in Liaodong that have concealed property.

For example, the Chen family in Dashi County (not the Chen family in Liaoyang, one of the six major families), because they concealed part of their family property and did not report it to the court, so Wang Changzhi immediately exterminated the Chen family and divided half of the Chen family property to the whistleblower. .

As for the whistleblower, his name is Wang Xin.

This Wang Xin is the son of Li Xi. He is only in his twenties this year. His real name is Li Xin. He was given the surname Wang by the Wang family and became part of the Wang family.

After Zhang Long died, his father Li Xi served as a teacher of the art of war. As for Zhang Long's son Zhang Cigong, he was appointed by the court as the captain of Wuhuan to manage the Wuhuan people who had just been conquered.

Wang Xin is the chief manager of Luoyueyuan. A few months ago, after the imperial court implemented the prosecution order, he followed the order of Jia Cheng Song Qianru to expose the Chen family among the other two tycoons in Dashi County.

So far, half of the property of the Chen family has belonged to the imperial court, and the other half has belonged to the royal family.

In the entire Dashi County, there used to be three powerful families, Wang, Chen and Lu, but now there are only two families of Wang and Lu.

As for the Lu family, they were too honest and reported their real estate to the court, so there was no way to expose him with a complaint order, but this kind of tyrant who honestly reported his family property was just committing suicide slowly. After a few years, this kind of family will go bankrupt due to paying taxes, and will become owner farmers or even tenant farmers.

Not only the Chen family in Dashi County, but also some small and medium-sized families in other counties, whoever concealed their family property, were entrusted by the six major families to report and expose.

Anyone who exposes the concealment of property by the six major families will be beaten to death by the county magistrates of various counties in Liaodong.

But on the other hand, when the six major families expose other small and medium-sized families, all county magistrates will immediately ransack their homes, handing half of the proceeds from the raids to the court and half to the six major families.

The current situation in Liaodong is that only the six major families are allowed to report and expose others, and ordinary people are not allowed to report and expose the six major families.

Teahouse
"Hey...here we come, fresh hot tofu!"

The waiter in the teahouse brought a bowl of hot tofu to Cao Xie Liu's table.

"Have you heard? After the promulgation of the suing decree, the Chen family concealed their property, so after the promulgation of the suing decree, the Chen family was exposed, the whole family was wiped out by the county magistrate, the male was exiled, and the beautiful woman They were sent to the nuns, and women with ordinary appearance were exiled along with them." Because Boss Guan was a craftsman, he went to work everywhere, so he was as well-informed as ever.

"Where are you exiled?" Cao Xie Liu took a sip of tofu soup and asked casually. He weaves and sells straw sandals in the market every day, so he doesn't know much about the outside world.

"I heard that he was exiled to Gaochang County as a serf." Boss Guan replied.

"Gaochang County? I heard that it is often plundered by the Huns. Although the Huns have escaped now, they are often plundered by the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Fuyu people. If you go there to be a serf, you will almost die." He came over to say something, and sitting next to him was a charming woman in her 30s.

This charming woman is Zhu'er. Because she is aging, her business is gradually dimming, and there are fewer and fewer men looking for her to spend, so Zhu'er simply finds an honest man to marry. This honest man has always wanted to marry her Hun Yu Zhang.

There are also some serfs in the Han Dynasty, but they are all descendants of sinners. Some of the more serious crimes are directly exterminated, and the lesser crimes are not exterminated, but exiled to the frontier as serfs to open up wasteland for the court. There is a little chance of becoming a self-cultivator.

"What are you talking about? What is the warning order?" Agui, who came late, couldn't help asking.

"It means that those rich people can be exposed and reported, and then the whistleblower can get half of the family property." Boss Guan replied without thinking.

"What?!" Agui was startled when he heard this, and hurried out of the restaurant without saying goodbye.

"Boy, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Boss Guan was very dissatisfied with Agui's rude behavior.

"Oh! What else can that idiot do? He just went to the county to report and expose the Wang family. He wanted to share the Wang family's property and get rich overnight." Cao Xie Liu sneered, and then continued to eat his own hot tofu with peace of mind.

"Then he is dead? The county magistrate..."

boom! boom! boom!
In the middle of Boss Guan's speech, the owner of the teahouse came, knocked on the table, frowned and said to Boss Guan displeasedly: "I said, Lao Guan, why do you like to talk about these terrible things so much? You can't see the four words at the door." Is it? You want to say that you don't know how to read, but it's not like I didn't remind you before."

"Haha, I forgot, I'm sorry." Boss Guan spared his head and apologized embarrassingly, then changed the subject and discussed with Cao Xie Liu and Hun Yu Zhang which widow was handsome.

He and Agui just knew each other, but they were not dead brothers. If he was in front of him, he would naturally remind him, but Agui had already gone far away, so he naturally didn't bother to chase him out to remind him.

"You talk, I'll go first." Hunyu Zhang didn't want to talk about widows in front of his wife, lest his wife would be unhappy.

"I said you are a mess. You were not like this before. When it comes to widows, you are more excited than me and Lao Liu. What's the matter today?" Boss Guan cursed.

"He has a daughter-in-law, forget us poor brothers." Cao Xie Liu joked.

Hun Yuzhang laughed dryly and said, "Brother Liu, Brother Guan, let's talk, my wife and I are going home first, and my Xiangzi is still waiting to be nursed."

This Xiangzi is the child of Hun Yu Zhang and Zhu Er, of course, it may not be.

Because Pearl married him five months ago, and this child named Xiangzi was born one month ago.
