Chapter 277 The Unappreciative Big Family (4.4K)

In the following days, Huo Shan was busy and at ease.

Walk around here and there every day, and spend a year in time.

Because it is the first year after the calendar reform, the atmosphere of this year is not too strong.

In the past, the New Year was celebrated at the end of September, so people are not used to celebrating the New Year at the end of December.

Another major event happened during this period. Although Shi Qing survived this year, he still couldn't survive his death on the seventh day of the lunar new year.

Much earlier than in history.

Gongsun He is also not much different from the history. The court cannot be without a minister for a day, he was named Ge Yihou, and he was promoted to the position of prime minister.

The name of the Marquis has not changed, but in this life, there is no such thing as being forced to be a prime minister, and everything will come naturally.

As for the position of the imperial servant after he became the prime minister, Gongsun Jingsheng was originally the imperial servant in history, but now he has been staying in the northwest, so the position of the imperial servant is vacant at this time.

However, Gongsun He still presided over the affairs of the servant.

As for things in the Qiang land, everything went very smoothly and everything was ready.

Qualified large merchants also came to Chang'an City one after another during this time.

Everything is ready, now waiting for tomorrow to start.

.........

In the early morning of the next day, Huo Shan came to a mansion of the Shaofu in Qili, Chang'an City. The land in Chang'an City is very expensive, after all, it is such a big place, but the Shaofu still has a lot of real estate.

The banquet this time was held by the Shaofu. It was not an individual, it was a banquet, but it was more appropriate to call it a business invitation conference.

Today is just a business invitation, as for the division of the project, it will take a few days to wait.

When Huo Shan came, the sun had already risen, and the big merchants that Huo Shan invited had already arrived, and everyone else had also arrived.

The meeting hasn't arrived yet, so he specified that something is wrong, and Huo Shan will show him what's wrong.

Huo Shan came to the gate of the mansion, the gate of the mansion was full of rich merchants, Liu Ju and others did not come out of the mansion, today they are all spectators.

When Huo Shan got off the carriage, the group saluted in unison:
"The villain is waiting to meet the champion."

The villain is not a derogatory term in this occasion. The villain has two meanings at this time, one is the villain that everyone knows, and the other refers to people with low social status, which is basically the lowest class, except for slaves.

Huo Shan nodded lightly:

"Get up!"

Then Huo Shan walked directly towards the mansion, begging them to do something, which has never been his style.

He came here today to give orders. He has prepared so much in advance, not because he is afraid that they will not do things, but because they will not do things well.

They actually had to do this, and Huo Shan believed that they were very willing to do it.

When he came to the front of the hall and sat down, Huo Shan sat in the upper seat and looked at the courtyard full of people with a smile on his face. Although they all lowered their heads, the smiles on their faces could not stop the more than 200 large merchants.

These more than 200 merchants are all the top merchants of the Dahan. If all the big merchants of the Dahan come, let alone this courtyard, it is the entire mansion, two or three mansions, I am afraid that they will not be able to accommodate them.

As for the smiles on their faces, Huo Shan also had some guesses.

They were able to sit in the same seat with the champion Hou today, and they have boasted in this life.

Moreover, the group of people in Longxi that Huo Shan summoned did not eat dry food. During this period of time, they had already publicized a lot in Chang'an City.

So what Huo Shan will do today, these big households still have some ideas in their minds.

Huo Shan looked around, all the big businessmen were quiet, so he went straight to the point.

"All of you here are rich and powerful families from various counties, and all of them are rich merchants. Although the money and food in the family is not as much as my champion's house, I am afraid it is not a lot?"

Hearing Huo Shan's words, all the people present lost their smiles, got up with horror and got off the seat cushion, lying on the ground.

A few people who couldn't bear it mentally started shouting and begging for mercy.

Huo Shan frowned and turned his head to look at Zhang Anshi. He glanced at those people and hurried over:

"Back to Junhou, these people are Shangdang Hu's family, Donghai Yang's family,..."

"Guilty? Big?"

"Hui Junhou, there are all of them, and they are very big."

"How big is it?"

"Very big!"

"Then let's put it down, please Your Majesty issue an edict to seal the seal of the Prime Minister's Mansion and our Great Sima, and order the governors and captains of the various counties to directly search the house and confiscate the property.

All men and women in the direct line of the family will be beheaded, and the children of the family within five clothes, and the women of the right age will be handed over to the general, who will ask the general to find unmarried soldiers from the third auxiliary army to match him, and the rest will migrate to the Qiang area.

Please Zhi Jinwu send someone to supervise secretly, who dares to cover up, write it down for me, Benhou personally leads Huben Yulin to see who is so bold. "

"promise."

Huo Shan was about to make an example of others, but they jumped out, and they could only blame them for not being able to bear it psychologically.

It's not that there are not many people here who have never committed crimes, but there are not many of them. It is impossible to be able to sit at the top of the county and not have a few homicide cases in their hands.

The only difference is that Chao Tang Zhang does not have their criminal evidence.

Even if it is cut first and then investigated, there are not many people who are wronged.

What is unscrupulous, this is called unscrupulous.

When Huo Shan spoke, he didn't shy away from it at all, they heard it clearly.

Huo Shan smiled disdainfully as he saw how their heads were about to burrow into the ground.

A few big families in the county were beheaded as soon as they said they would be beheaded, and they didn't dare to give a shit, but he was the only one who did it, and the others really couldn't do it.

Huo Shan is fearless, these people can't threaten him yet, with his status, connections, and the power he and Liu Che have given him, there are really few people in this world that he can't kill.

Moreover, these big households died as soon as they died, and they had no status in Emperor Wu's dynasty.

There is some influence, not small, but with that little influence, what threat is there now?
When encountering swords and guns, the game is over, but Huo Shan has swords and guns in his hand.

Huo Shan's stick is to let them recognize the reality, so don't feel that being invited by him personally by Huo Shan makes you feel like you are on the stage.

But the big stick is over, it's time to give them sweet dates.

Huo Shan showed surprise, and said:
"What are you doing lying on the ground, please get up and take a seat."

Huo Shan spoke nicely, but there was an unquestionable command in his tone.

All the big households got up and took their seats quickly. In the cold winter, the cold wind blew over their foreheads covered with cold sweat. They felt cold all over their bodies, but they didn't even dare to wipe them off.

"My Marquis invited all of you to Chang'an two months ago. The Young Mansion is hosting a banquet here today. I think you have heard about the reason for it?"

The big families dared not speak, Huo Shan glared at the Li family in Longxi, and the elders of the Li family in Longxi quickly saluted and said:
"Back to Champion Hou, I have indeed heard about it."

Huo Shan nodded, he didn't need much, he just needed someone to talk to.

"It's good if you hear about it. I won't hide it from you. I invite you to come here this time because I want you to do me a favor and also for yourself."

Huo Shan's words were very unreasonable, but the big households still didn't speak, Huo Shan murmured in his heart:
'I feel like I can't get off the stage, it seems that I'm a little too scared! '

The elders of the Li clan in Longxi cursed inwardly, and then responded with a smile all over their faces:
"Champion Marquis just do what you say, and you won't dare to disobey."

As soon as these words came out, all the big households finally spoke up and echoed repeatedly.

Huo Shan looked at them, he just needed someone to talk to, why is it so difficult, he said lightly:
"What this Marquis wants is not that you dare to disobey. It's like this Marquis is forcing you. What this Marquis wants is to be willing."

Dahu: What are you forcing us to do?
Huo Shan got up and came to the courtyard, thinking about the problem, what he really wanted was for these people to do well.

The previous killing of chickens and monkeys was to make them stop jumping like that, but now, I can't let them have too much resentment, but you don't appreciate it, so I will save you some face.

"I invite you to come here today. You just said that you have heard a little bit. What Benhou himself said is not wrong. I want to ask you for help, and it is also for your own sake.

There are ten chariots of criminal evidence in Benhou's mansion. If it were not for the Qiang people's attack, more than half of you here at this time would have become the souls of Benhou's sword. "

Huo Shan looked at the big households who said nothing, and sneered:
"Don't believe it, and don't think about resisting. Since Benhou has said it, you are not afraid of your resistance. Can you stop the Habayashi army under Benhou's command?
I have saved so much money and food, and I have saved so much grain and warehouses, and you don’t see any of it when there is a natural disaster. If you do all kinds of bad things, everyone deserves to die.

If you are destroyed, those things belong to the imperial court, and I don’t know how many there are. Can we fight two battles in Mobei?
Don't think that the law does not blame the public, this Marquis will kill you all today, what can you do to me?
Together, the army is nothing more than a chicken wag.

Want to manipulate the people?Do you think the people recognize you, or recognize Ben Hou's champion flag?

Keep me, because you still have the value of using. "

The faces of the big households really changed at this moment, they really thought so.

Huo Shan can kill one or two, but can you kill all of us?

They are all accustomed to being emperors one by one, and they really thought that no one could rule them.

When Huo Shan said this, he returned to his seat and sat down, his tone slowed down a bit:
"You should also know something about me, Huo Shan, I never treat my own people badly.

Inviting everyone to come here today is something built in the Qiang area.

The imperial court has money and food, but not enough manpower, so I asked you to build it for this purpose. "

Huo Shan looked around and continued:

"Tell me, what's your problem?

When I give you a cup of tea, everyone must tell the truth, for example, offenders will be killed. "

Huo Shan looked at the tense big households and smiled inwardly.

He didn't want to play so excessively, he just wanted to make an example to others.

And this step is also necessary, don't look at them all trembling in front of him and doing their duty, but in front of the people, they are another face.

So have to bang and bang them ahead of time.

But after he's done, do you still dare to be ungrateful?
They also had a tacit understanding, united in an instant, thinking that nothing would happen if they didn't speak.

Want to try me, Huo Shan?
Then I will let you try and die!

I am used to showing off my might, and I really regard myself as a character.

Huo Shan silently memorized the number in his heart, and when the time was about to come, a big family clenched his trembling hands, gritted his teeth and stood up.

Huo Tan looked over with a smile, look, isn't this a sensible person!

"Dare, dare to ask Champion Hou, what arrangement does Champion Hou have for villains?"

Huo Shan frowned and looked at him. Seeing Huo Shan's puzzled expression, the man sweated again, and quickly said:
"Back to Champion Hou, the villain is from Youbei Pinggu's family. It was already the end of December when the villain got the news. He rushed all the way here, and he only arrived in Chang'an the day before yesterday."

Huo Shan suddenly realized and nodded, then he waved:
"Bring up the map."

"promise."

After a while, a huge paper map was taken over and stood up, with many things drawn in detail on it.

"This is the map of the Qiang land, or the map of the Qiang land governor's office after all the projects are completed.

All you need to do is to complete these projects within three years, and the imperial court will pay for it.

After these two months of calculation, after the completion of the entire Qiang area, it will cost almost 130 million gold.

But this is the money spent on the construction of the imperial court. If it is you, the cost should be around 170 million gold.

The imperial court plans to pay 200 million gold for this project, so you and others have a profit of 30 gold.

But in order to prevent you from being careless and shoddy, the imperial court will not give you too much money first.

The money in advance is about [-]%, and the rest needs to be paid for by you. The rest of the money will be delivered to you one by one after the completion of the project and after passing the inspection by the court. "

Huo Shan beckoned, Xiao Lizi saluted and left, and after a while came up with a group of servants holding some albums in their hands.

"This is the division of the project and some details you need to know, such as workers' wages and so on.

Such a large project cannot be eaten by your family, even if it can be eaten, I will not give it to you.

What the Marquis wants is to complete the construction within three years. If there are few people, the project cannot be completed.

The entire large project was divided into forty small projects. For example, the road from Longxi to Jincheng was divided into three sections.

And these small projects will be auctioned in a few days, and the lowest price will win.

You can contract a section of the project one by one, if you are not strong enough, several companies can work together to contract a section of the project. "

Huo Shan basically closed his mouth after a brief introduction.

It was impossible for him to explain the matter to them in great detail, otherwise there would be so many waiting around, what would be the use of the officials trained by Huo Shan.

"Dare to ask Champion Hou, will the imperial court really give money?"

The big family who asked the question was also stupid and bold. At this time, he asked the court if he would renege on his debt?
Sure enough, the other big players looked at him like a fool.

"You thought it was just to build a Qiang land?
If Qiang Dier and others have performed well this time, there are still many projects for you, such as roads and canals in various places, pass cities, and even the construction of a new capital. "

Hearing the new capital city, all the big households present widened their eyes. The imperial court is going to build a new capital city. This is great news!
In the following time, the big households gradually became active, asking questions one by one, Huo Shan answered some, and then pushed Zhang Anshi, Wang Wei, and Han Zeng to them.

He himself retreated into the hall with Liu Shi and Xu Ziwei, looking at them in the yard.

In fact, there is another question that big households want to ask very much, that is, the issue of criminal evidence. If they do their job well, can they make up for their mistakes?
But until Huo Shan left, they didn't ask because they didn't dare!
Liu Ju looked at them, especially after Huo Shanyi left, the scene was lively for more than one level, and sighed to Huo Shan:
"After this one day, I'm afraid they will be so obedient in the future."

Huo Shan raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.

However, although he did not speak, it was not because he agreed with this point of view, but because there were so many people, he wanted to save Liu Ju some face.

You're a big and safe family, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it in your life.

Dahu, even if you put a knife on their necks, what should they do!

With just a few words, Huo Shan wanted them to keep themselves safe from now on, that was impossible.

However, Huo Shan's intimidation was not useless, they should calm down for a while!
