Chapter 175

After losing the patriarch, Wubao of the seven surnames only resisted the siege of Chu Fang and Ma Zhou for more than ten days, and then fell one after another, following in the footsteps of Gong, Wang, Pan, and Zheng.

The surnames of Pingyang and Zhongshui townships were all shocked.

If Liu Jing only wanted Pingyang and Zhongshui to honor the county magistrate, then after the Gong family and the four surnames of Wang, Pan, and Zheng were exterminated, he could stop there.

All the people in the second township have been terrified by Liu Jing's series of brutal killing methods, and they will never dare to violate the county's order again.

But just like this, Pingyang and Zhongshui Townships are still only "poor" townships on the books of the county temple, so why did he go south in person?This is not what he wanted.

Now, after Liu Jing wiped out the four surnames of Gong, Wang, Pan, and Zheng, he has also wiped out seven surnames, making a total of eleven surnames, not counting property and land. There are more than 1 households and a population of nearly [-].

Seeing so many hidden households, which were beyond Liu Jing's expectations, he couldn't help laughing out of breath for a while, wishing to kill all the remaining big names in Erxiang and recruit its people.

Of course, he was just thinking about it in his heart, and he would not actually put it into action.

Since going south, he has killed too many people, and all the benevolent people have been killed.

The Gong family rebelled, and the disaster of overthrowing the family was their own fault. The Wang family, Pan family, and Zheng family were attached to the Gong family, and it was barely reasonable to be exterminated.

It's just that the seven surnames were killed later...

Although Liu Jing claimed that after breaking Gong's Wubao, he found the secret letter of the secret collusion between the seven surnames and the Gong family, and classified them together with the Wang, Pan, and Zheng families as crimes of adversity. There is a valid excuse.

However, the real reason is well known to the family members of Pingyang and Zhongshui Townships. While feeling the sadness of the death of the rabbit and the fox, they are also secretly thankful. Fortunately, they rushed to meet Liu Jing as soon as he arrived. If they were late, Liu Jing thought it was right If you don't respect yourself, you might be like the seven surnames, and you will be killed for any crime.

In fact, extermination of the clan is just an exaggerated rhetoric. It is not like killing all the nine clans, including the "culprit" Gong. Even if the heirs of the five Gong brothers are under the age of 12, they will spare their lives.

This has nothing to do with the benevolence of women, but the "hidden rules" of the world. What Wang Mang could do in the past, Liu Jing, a person with modern thinking, has no reason why he can't do it.

Eleven surnames in Pingyang and Zhongshui villages, Liu Jing killed more than [-] people and captured more than [-] people, all of whom are now tied to the township.

A large part of these people belong to the distant branch of the family and have little to do with the Xianzhi. Liu Jing is going to let them go, but this matter still needs to be carefully investigated to avoid "oversight" and harm to himself.

And if he did such a big thing, he must notify the county government, ask Zhang Xian for instructions, explain the whole story to him, and ask him to make a decision.

It is not difficult to guess the fate of these captives. The men are probably either transferred to Baqiu or sent to Leiyang Tieguan, and the women are sent to the official temple to be slaves. If there is no accident, they will basically have no chance in this life. came back.

As for the accumulated assets of the eleven surnames, all of them have been cheap for Liu Jing. After rewarding the soldiers, there are still more than 6000 million yuan in the account. This is his property only.

In addition, even after a whole winter of rice grain consumption, there are still more than [-] dendrobium, which is enough for more than [-] soldiers under Liu Jing's command for more than a year.

Over the past few days, Zhongshui Xiangdu has become extremely busy, with a steady stream of money, food and supplies arriving here, and then transported to Ling County by boat.

Money, food and materials can be transported away, but land cannot. Liu Jing immediately decided to use these lands to restore his reputation.

He reorganized more than 61 households and more than 65 "hidden households" into the households of the people. The males are 25 to [-] as the strong men, [-] to [-], and [-] to [-] as the second men. There are [-] acres of land, half of which is given to the male second son, and [-] acres of land are allocated.

It is recorded in the "Book of Han" that although these hermits who cultivate the land of the rich and the people no longer have to face various exorbitant taxes from the state, they have to face more cruel and greedy masters. See the tax tithe", so life is extremely difficult, they can only wear the clothes of cattle and horses, and eat the food of dogs and pigs. When there is a famine, they will not have enough to eat, and the host family will not help them at all.

Now that Liu Jing rescued them from the hands of the big surname and gave them the land, their gratitude to Liu Jing in their hearts was beyond measure.

At this time, anyone who dares to say that Liu Jing is wrong will definitely be attacked by a crowd.

Liu Jing's image in the eyes of the villagers in Pingyang and Zhongshui Townships has undergone earth-shaking changes through granting land.

However, after the granting of land was completed, Liu Jing still had a lot of land left in his hands. From this, it can be seen that the local surnames are rich, and the land in these places has almost been monopolized by the surnames.

Soon, the surplus land in his hands will have a place to go. I heard that his act of granting the land is no different from a major earthquake to Zhongshui and Pingyang Townships.

Many hidden households controlled by the big surnames saw that the people who used to be slaves and handmaids like them all got land grants, and they were very envious. They couldn't eat all day long and couldn't sleep at night.

Gradually, bold people came to Liu Jing's place quietly, and after making up the household of Qimin, they also got the land grant.

This time, many hermits in Pingyang and Zhongshui Townships were almost crazy, and they came here with their families.

The blood of the eleven surnames hadn't dried yet, and the surnames of the second township were afraid of Liu Jing's power and did not dare to stop them, so they could only watch the guests flee.

Liu Jing, on the other hand, would not refuse anyone who came, until he gave away all the land in his hand.

However, hidden households are still coming from all directions. Liu Jing had already expected this in his heart, and the opinion he gave was that those who are willing to register as householders will be given cattle, farm tools, seeds, and even a small amount of rations, so that they can wait. Reclaim wasteland.

After careful consideration, most of the hidden households agreed to register as Qimin. After all, if they stayed, they would still be able to make a living. If they went back, they would have to barely survive. Maybe they would be hated by their masters for leaving rashly this time. revenge.

After Liu Jing registered all the hermit households, the Zhongshui and Pingyang townships suddenly increased by more than [-] households, with a population of nearly [-].The original number of households in Erxiang was only in the early [-]s, and it has grown so much that it can be seen from this.

And at this time, it was the end of February, and before he knew it, Liu Jing had been in Pingyang and Zhongshui Townships for as long as a month.During this period, he had correspondence with Serious Duo, and Ling County was still stable after he left, which is why he was able to stay here safely.

However, he expects to stay for a while, because spring plowing is approaching, and he must not be a hands-off shopkeeper at this time.
