Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 805 The plan to draw wages from the bottom of the pot
The White-browed Eagle King was finally cut 350 seven times by the old executioner, and he did not die for three whole days. However, after the 350 seven times, the old executioner wanted to drink wine to refresh himself, but he drank it down Then he suddenly fell on the platform.

The old man was in his 80s, and after three consecutive days of execution, he couldn't hold on in the end. He was too excited and exhausted his energy, so the old executioner was one step ahead of the executed.

He didn't get up again, and died directly on the stage. He died with some regrets, saying to his great-grandson that the number of cuts was too small.

After the death of the old executioner, his great-grandson carrying the box insisted on fulfilling his great-grandfather's last wish and continued to execute.The skill of this young executioner has been passed down from his family, but at this time, the White-browed Eagle King is already hanging by a thread. The old executioner's exquisite technique, coupled with the secret anesthetic and hemostatic drugs, made him hang tone.

The young executioner held the knife and cut another 240 or three times, making up a total of [-] knives.

After [-] knives, the young executioner also found that the prisoner was basically out of breath. He simply cut down with one knife and castrated him directly.The fourth cut is to take the liver, the fifth cut is the owl's head, the sixth to ninth cuts are to dismember the limbs.

·······
King of Light, Leader of Light, Eagle King with White Eyebrows, Old Man of Eagle Nest...
This guy with a series of extremely prestigious titles, the actual Hassan III, ended his execution and his suffering.

·······
Guangzhou wharf, execution for three days.

Hassan III was hacked with a total of [-] knives, and he died after being hacked alive for three days.

Below him, more than 32 people enjoyed eight, sixteen, and 300 knives. More than 500 people were beheaded, more than 1000 were beheaded, and more than [-] people were hanged.

In addition, tens of thousands of arrested Guangming believers and eagle nest assassins were severely punished by having their right thumbs cut off or both feet thumbs cut off, and then sent to slavery.

Sanjar, an Arabian sea merchant who once spent 32 guan in order to solve Qin Lang’s trouble, was sentenced to 100 knives by Ling Chi, and his family had more than [-] members. All confiscated.

More than a dozen large ships and countless manor workshops and houses were confiscated, and his confiscated property was worth millions.

In addition, those merchants who offered a total of 40 coins to let Eagle Nest solve Qin Lang were also uprooted one by one by Qin Lang.

Not a single inch of Guangzhou is clean, not a single businessman is clean.

Those who were serious were sentenced to death and their homes were confiscated, and those who were less serious were convicted and fined. For a while, the whole of Guangzhou was killed.

·······
"Saburo, are we going to hit too hard? So far, the confiscated money is worth more than 3000 million yuan, too much."

Jia Wuben came over with the ledger and said worriedly.

This ruthless person who could carry a dead man's thigh and gnaw him alive, now feels that the situation is out of control.

3000 million guan, this is the current revenue of the imperial court for almost half a year.

Before Zhenguan, it could even be equivalent to the sum of money and silk income in the nine years of Wude except for taxes in kind.

Previously, the imperial court suppressed the Buddha and Taoism, cleaned up and rectified the temples, and it only made so much money.

Now that Qin Lang has made so much money in a short period of time in Lingnan, and most of it was made from Guangzhou, it's a waste of time.

"Should I restrain myself and only pursue Hu Shang?"

He reminded Qin Lang that many of the people being attacked now are actually people from Datang's top honor and wealthy families.

"We can't stop for the time being. Since we want to make a move, we should be more ruthless. This time we made a move. There is a reason for what happened, and there are enough reasons. If anyone insists on fighting me hard, I will fight him to the end." Qin Lang was very rude. road.

"Grandfather, don't worry, I have already reported this matter to the saint, and both the saint and the prince support me, and I have also disclosed this matter to the court, and now there are many people in the political affairs hall supporting me."

For Li Shimin, although it was a bit surprising that Qin Lang made such a big move in Lingnan, the things he revealed were beyond Li Shimin's imagination.

The questions in it were very frightening. Li Shimin was so frightened that he quickly asked Zhenfu, Dianqian, and Baiqi to participate in the investigation with all his strength, and asked officials in Lingnan who had the right to play secrets. The feedback he got showed that Qin Lang did not exaggerate. fact.

Li Shimin was furious, and ordered Qin Lang to investigate and investigate deeply.

Guangzhou is the base camp of Lingnan. As the residence of the Metropolitan Government, it is now one of the most important ports for maritime trade. It is the key base camp for Li Shimin to completely incorporate Lingnan into the Tang Dynasty. If this place is rotten, then Lingnan will not Want to really come under the rule.

Qin Lang got the emperor's support, so he must be fearless.

"No matter how much money you copy, don't worry. Grandfather hastened to organize vehicles and boats, and first transport some light goods and treasures to Chang'an for His Majesty."

Qin Lang planned to make three copies of the copied money.

One part was offered, and it was divided into three parts. The imperial treasury got six points, the emperor's internal treasury got three points, and the prince's inner square got one point.

There are two remaining parts, one reserved for the governor's office, because Qin Lang now holds several positions, patrolling the southeast of the province, traveling through the three provinces, the governor of the two provinces, and the governor of the navy, so this is divided into four parts. , Allocated to the Customs and Customs Envoy Xingyuan, the Economic and Strategic Appeasement Envoy, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the Navy Division for office expenses and rewards.

The last copy of Liuzhou County.

It will be distributed to Guangzhou and other counties in the south of the Lingnan Mountains for local post stations, township training, miscellaneous supplies for officials, schools in prefectures and counties, and expenses for building cities, roads, bridges, embankments, and canals.

Are you afraid that you have nowhere to use your money?
Qin Lang is daring. Most people would not dare to go any further after checking here.

Qin Lang is not afraid, but afraid of a hair.

Others messed with him first, and he originally came from the south and was entrusted with the imperial envoy of the emperor.

"It's time to set rules for maritime merchants, not only for foreign merchants, but also for Han merchants. Tax evasion, tax evasion, and smuggling will never be allowed in the future."

·······
Qin Lang announced a series of new maritime trade regulations.

Shibo made Wang Chengen a little excited and a little worried.

"Weigong's rules are very good, but only out of Guangzhou Port, it is estimated that Jiaozhou Port and Weigong's Taiping Port will listen to them. Other places are now mostly handsome and handsome chieftains, and they have always listened to the tune and not the propaganda. Yes. Especially the Feng family in Gaozhou, which controls Gaoluo, Hainan and other eight states, our words have no effect on them."

Hassan III is the underground king of Guangzhou, but Feng An is the semi-public king of Lingnan. He owns less than half of the Cantonese territory and has an army of no less than [-].In addition, the Xian family, the largest slang power in Lingnan, is their ally in marriage for generations, and Feng Xuan, another big power in Lingnan, is his brother.

If Feng An breaks out, it will be a real war. With the current army in Lingnan, the imperial court may not be able to defeat the Feng family.

Regardless of the fact that the Guangming Sect has a great influence in Guangzhou and has strongholds all over Lingnan, they are just a group of guys who hide their heads and hide their faces. The court really wants to deal with them with all their strength. They are not opponents, but the Lingnan indigenous forces represented by the Feng family are too strong.

"Feng An is still in Chang'an. If the Feng family refuses to cooperate, I plan to suggest that the saint grant Feng An a post in Longyou or Shuofang, or simply give him a fief in the Western Regions or Nanzhong."

This move is very fierce. It is true that Lingnan is the power of the Feng family, but Feng An has always behaved in that he does not want to confront the court head-on. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he is not willing to die.

If the fish died, there would be a hole in the top of the net, and the court would repair it later, but the Feng family would be gone.

For local kings like the Feng family, the imperial court still boiled frogs in warm water, leaving them some leeway and reserving some rights, so that they would not have the determination and courage to fight with all their strength.

After being weakened step by step, one day I want to resist again, but I have no ability.

Of course, what the Feng family is most concerned about now is its control over the traditional sphere of influence, and the barrel of a gun is its core interest.

"I suggest setting up more prefectures and counties in the Feng family's territory, and mixing sand to divide and weaken its power." Wang Chengen suggested.

Qin Lang did not accept it.

In the previous Wude period, when the court first got the support of the Lingnan soil kings, it adopted this method. It set up nearly a hundred states in the south of the Lingnan, rewarded the soil kings wantonly, and took the opportunity to mix sand at the same time. There have been some effects, for example, the two Ning and Feng families later had internal strife.

This is equivalent to the method of household division in the imperial household registration. After three generations of the family, the family must be divided into households to avoid the formation of a huge clan with several generations of hundreds of people. After the division, many small households will be formed, and the property will be dispersed. Naturally, it was greatly discounted.

It's just that it was at the beginning, and now is now. The court now has no control over Lingnan as it did in the beginning of Wude.

There are too many states and counties, which is not conducive to management.

What the imperial court has to do now is not to decentralize power, but to slowly centralize and recover the power in Lingnan.

The military power must be seized step by step. Private soldiers are prohibited first, but allowing the states to form regiments for training is actually allowing the local kings to replace the original private soldiers with united soldiers.

The united soldiers are brave in the countryside, but they are also among the leaders of the imperial court. The governor is the supreme commander of the united soldiers in Lingnan.

The conversion of private soldiers to united soldiers is to turn from darkness to light. In the future, the number of troops can be further established, weapons and equipment, food and grass, etc. can be standardized, and gradually teachers and officers can be sent to mix sand.

This is definitely much stronger than the original private soldiers.

Of course, in addition to reforming private soldiers into unity, Qin Lang plans to set up additional troops in Lingnan, some of which will be stationed in the naval barracks of the South China Sea Fleet along the port, some will be stationed in frontier troops, and some military mansions will also be established.

Take your time, don't rush.

Even now that the imperial court has formally seized the right to select officials from the south of the Lingnan soil kings, and has taken away their power to establish their own officials, but in the past few years, they have been allowed to recommend officials by themselves, and the imperial court will basically agree. It just started to send a small amount of officials to Lingnan.

This time Qin Lang planned to conduct a major assessment of Lingnan officials, taking the opportunity to eliminate a batch of officials conferred by the local kings, and transfer a batch of low-level officials from the court to supplement them.

The most important thing is economic rights.

No matter when, although the barrel of a gun can give rise to political power, the barrel of a gun needs money the most.

"Outside Guangzhou Port, Canton Road plans to add Chaozhou Port (Shantou Port), Gaozhou Port (Maoming Port), Leizhou Port (Zhanjiang Port), and Yazhou Port (Haikou Port)."

Four new ports are added, all of which are official trading ports. Except for these five ports in Guangdong, the rest of the ports are not allowed to conduct inbound and outbound trade. The five ports will set up agencies under the Department of Shipping and Changping, and the South China Sea Navy will station naval barracks to guard them. !The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion also set up a town of frontier soldiers in each of the five ports, and two government soldiers!
