Long live the ancestral dragon of all worlds

Chapter 41 Facing Ying Zheng, the 36 wealthy family can only choose to compromise
Lu Hesheng, the rotating leader, changed the subject:
"But now, hasn't Ying Zheng not attacked the Ma clan yet?
If we form a coalition army at this time and make trouble for Yingzheng, it will be of no benefit to our rich family.

After all, Yingzheng recently overthrew Lu Buwei to achieve pro-government, put down the chaos in Bashu, defeated the Allied Forces of the Three Jins in Hexi, and captured Yucheng County.

A few days ago, they used thunderous means to destroy Lu Zong, the number one sect of the Qin Dynasty, who was ruled by gods and demons.

This series of major events has already pushed Yingzheng's prestige to an unprecedented height.

The people of Qin State supported him sincerely and regarded him as a god-man.

Moreover, after these several battles, the morale of the Qin army has risen unprecedentedly, and it is very likely that it will be invincible in all battles.

At this time, because of Yingzheng's handling of the Longxi incident, the Ruo 36 Hao family formed a coalition army to invade Xianyang and force him to abdicate.

We will be opposed by all the old Qin people, and the chances of winning are slim.

In the end, even the long-standing inheritance of the 36 wealthy families will be ruined. "

When Lu Hesheng said this, he paused.

Apart from Ma Juan's gloomy face, he had no words.

The patriarchs of other major wealthy families agreed with Lu Hesheng's words.

Qin Wangzheng's recent achievements are really too dazzling.

These patriarchs are all cunning and cunning, and in the face of the general trend, they know that they cannot go against the trend and attack Ying Zheng at this moment.

Otherwise, there will be no good fruit to eat.

The rotating leader raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

When the patriarchs stopped speaking, he continued:
"Everyone, in order to show justice, we will vote on whether to attack Ying Zheng.

The widow obeys the many.

Agree to form a coalition army, please stand up for those who challenge Yingzheng. "

After finishing speaking, Lu Hesheng sat down, except for the Ma patriarch who was still standing, the others sat still.

Lu Hesheng said: "I agree with the leader's suggestion, please stand up if you don't want to attack Yingzheng for the time being."

Teng!
Teng!
Everyone stood up, and Ma Juan was standing all the time.

The result is obvious, none of the powerful families want to have a big conflict with Ying Zheng at this moment.

Lu Hesheng looked at Ma Juan, smiled and said:

"Please Patriarch Ma, please rest the fire and don't be impulsive.

If Yingzheng's handling of Longxi this time causes some losses to your Ma clan, please bear with it for the time being.

When the moon is full, you will lose. When Yingzheng is weak, you can double the loss and get it back. "

"Since you all don't want to attack Ying Zheng, I have nothing to say, so I leave!"

Ma Juan cupped his hands and left the meeting hall with an ugly expression.

He knew that when Ying Zheng's knife was cut on Ma Shi's body, the other wealthy families could not feel the pain.

……

Xianyang, capital of Qin Dynasty, Zhangtai Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Ying Zheng is reviewing the memorial.

"Your Majesty, the Commander of Jin Yiwei asked Sir Ji to see you." The eunuch came in and whispered.

King Qin put the writing brush on Bijia Mountain: "Let him in."

"promise!"

After the eunuch came out, Ji Gang, who was wearing a flying fish suit, entered the imperial study room, bowed and knelt down: "Chen Ji Gang, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live long live long live!"

"Stay flat!" Ying Zheng looked at the other party and said, "How is the Longxi incident going?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has completed the trial.

With the help of the magistrate Ma Zhu and ten other county magistrates, the Ma family has annexed a total of more than [-] mu of fertile and fertile land in Longxi in the past three years.

Now, I want 25 officials, big and small, including the sheriff and county magistrate involved, to sign and pledge, and escort them all back to Xianyang for His Majesty to deal with. "

King Qin nodded: "Tingwei and the prime minister will come to the imperial study immediately to see you."

"No!" The eunuch's servant went out to deliver the edict.

Soon, the old Ting Wei and the prime minister came to the imperial study.

After discussing with them, Ying Zheng finally made the following decision.

First of all, 25 people, including the governor of Longxi County, were sentenced to beheaded, their property was confiscated, and the whole family was harmed.

Secondly, a dozen or so guilty officials of Yushitai, including Doctor Yushi, also gave the same verdict.

Third, the Ma family in Longxi was sentenced to hand over all the fertile land that had been illegally annexed in the past three years, and the government distributed it to the original people for farming.

As for the money Ma used to purchase the land, since it was an illegal merger, all of it was confiscated.

Finally, it is stipulated that the officials of the counties and counties who come from the proud family cannot be county guards or county magistrates.

If he is already in this position, the royal court will cut off his official position and become a deputy.

This was done in order to avoid the occurrence of the wanton annexation of land by Ma Zhu, the governor of Longxi County, and the powerful Ma clan.

……

After the verdict was announced and spread to Longxi County, the common people clapped their hands and applauded.

It is no longer a day or two for the powerful Ma clan to oppress the local people.

But all the time, Wang Ting and the county and county governments turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye, turning major events into minor ones.

The people dared not speak out.

The powerful Ma family in Longxi is like an emperor.

Now, Qin Wangzheng has executed Ma Zhu, the prefect of the Ma family, and asked the Ma family to spit out the [-] mu of fertile land that they merged.

It is really for the common people in Longxi that they let out a bad breath.

Of course, the Ma family, who was the victim, was outraged.

However, Ma Juan could only admit it.

36 At the powerful clan alliance meeting, other powerful clans have already spoken, telling them not to conflict with the royal family.

If Mrs. Ma dared to go against the League's decision, he would be abandoned by the League.

At that time, the Ma family will lose the protection of the wealthy alliance, and Ying Zheng can do whatever he wants to deal with the Ma family.

Ma Juan could only implement the alliance's decision and spit out the fat that reached his mouth.

However, what I ate was pinched by the neck and forcibly dug out of the stomach, which was indescribably uncomfortable.

His anger could only be vented on his servants.

In the mansion of the Ma clan, there were several clan members whose heads were beheaded by the angry ancestors to vent their anger.

The other wealthy families in the Great Qin Dynasty were dissatisfied with Ying Zheng's announcement that officials of the wealthy family could not serve as county guards or county magistrates. Although they were dissatisfied, they did not attack.

They also silently accepted the matter.

……

Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back.

Listening to the eunuch's reading, the news sent back by the new governor of Longxi, and other wealthy families in Daqin agreed that officials of the noble family should not be county governors or county magistrates.

The Ma family spit out [-] mu of fertile land without any twists and turns.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth.

All of this was within his expectations.

Because the general trend is now on Yingzheng's side, the 36 wealthy families dare not go against the trend and clamor with the royal family.

Of course, Ying Zheng is temporarily unable to wipe out the 36 wealthy families.

Such an ending can only be said to be the result of a compromise between the great Qin clan and Ying Zheng.

He believes that after the Longxi incident, the 36 Hao family should have restrained a lot in the near future, and will no longer illegally annex land for the time being.

It can be regarded as meeting King Qin's expectations for the time being.

As for the elimination of the powerful clans, it can only be done slowly.

You can't become a big fat man with one bite.

"Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for completing the side mission: Relief for the victims, and severely punish the officials who failed in disaster relief.

Obtain 1000 points of martial arts and 100 points of martial arts;
Another reward is some sweet potato tubers and seeds. "

"Ding dong! If the recognition of King Qin by the people of Daqin increases by 1%, the host's total national luck will increase by 1%."

The cold voice of the system rang in Ying Zheng's mind.

Ying Zheng was slightly overjoyed when he heard this.

Immediately close your eyes and check the system.

Sweet potato?

Could it be the sweet potato planted by the Qing Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty in China?
Ying Zheng couldn't help being curious and looking forward to it!
He had read the books given by the system, and he knew that the Qing Dynasty's population surged because of the introduction of sweet potatoes, high-value planting, and political and economic stability.

In a hundred years, the population of the Qing Dynasty increased from more than 1 million in the Kangxi period to more than 3 million in the late Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Population is the most important thing in the kingdom's struggle for hegemony.

Only with a sufficient population can more soldiers be recruited and a larger and stronger army formed.

Crusade against other countries and annex them.

People eat for food.

As the population increases, more food is needed.

High-yield food crop seeds are particularly important.

Ying Zheng clicked on the sweet potato information.
