Daqin: Integrate ten times Lu Bu's combat power at the start

Chapter 451 "Five Surnames and Seven Families": Small town restaurants listen to gossip

The emperor of flowing water, the gate valve of iron.

In the era of feudal dynasties, the strength of many powerful clans was far greater than that of the imperial power. They owned a large number of fields, family members and former officials.

Their people directly or indirectly control the military power of the imperial court, and have the capital to despise the imperial power.

The existence of these aristocratic families is a huge cancer, both to the imperial power and to ordinary people.

Like blood-sucking leeches, they grow themselves by sucking the blood of the common people and the court.

These rich and powerful families often own a certain territory, a county or a state, with the best resources, fields, industries, books, officials, disciples and old officials, forming an invisible giant power that separates one side, and indirectly Control the imperial power.

They are greedy, oppressing the people, suppressing dissidents, only for their own interests, wantonly annexing land, and increasing their wealth and power through land rent and other methods.

Their wealth came from exploiting the common people and the imperial court.

Some vampires, eat people without spitting out bones.

In history, the end of any dynasty, in the final analysis, also comes from the excessive exploitation of the people by these powerful families.

Their behavior of annexing land was too unrestrained, leaving the common people who lost their land no way out, and in the end they had no choice but to take risks and embark on the road of rebellion.

It's a pity that the person who bears the infamy will always be the emperor of the dynasty.

Once the civil turmoil breaks out, they will only change another object of support, and they can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.

In the eyes of these aristocratic clans, controlling an emperor is far better than being an emperor by their own family.

As the saying goes: shoot the bird that stands out.

Low-key is king.

Of course they understood this truth, so they chose to hide behind the scenes to increase and maintain the interests of their family by supporting the royal family.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Yang, and Li Tang were all just a change of power within the Guanlong Group.

The empress dowager of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Yuan's mother empress and Yang Jian's empress are blood sisters.

The three of them are the precious daughters of Duguxin, a power official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

The Dugu family is also one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms in the Western Wei Dynasty.

Powerful.

What about the anti-king of the [-]th Route, who made a lot of noise at the beginning, but in the end, there was another one who really became a big deal. Isn't it cheaper than the Longxi Li family who also came from a powerful family?

Li Yuan, the founding monarch of the Tang Dynasty, was also born in one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Longxi Li family.

In terms of history, the demise of Emperor Sui Yang was also because he moved the interests of the aristocratic family and tried to use up the family's heritage through the three conquests of Goryeo.

In Jiangdu, he was killed by Yu Wenhua and his troops who were also one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Western Wei Dynasty.

A powerful family is a great disaster for the country.

The reason why the first emperor asked Su Chen to marry the Nangong lady was also to win over the power of the Nangong family, so that Fusu could gain the support and loyalty of the old Qin people in Guanzhong.

It can be seen from this that the influence of this aristocratic family is deeply rooted.

Taiyuan Wang!

Qinghe Cui Shi!

Fan Yang Lu!

Boling Cui Clan!

The Li family of Zhao County!

The Zheng family of Xingyang!

Longxi Li's!

Today's five surnames and seven families, although they are not as prominent as in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they have begun to take shape. In the troubled times, they are gradually accumulating strength.

In the court, in Xianyang, there are also new bureaucratic families, for example, the civil official group headed by Li Si, the Li family.

The military attache group headed by Wang Jian, the Wang family.

The Sima family is now in the Great Qin Dynasty, and its influence is also deeply rooted. It has many military officers, especially the commander of the Liaodong camp, Sima Shang, who also came from the Longxi Sima family.

Today, there is still the inheritance of the Sima family in Shu.

They won high efficiency for the king of Shu.

[In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people]

What is Wang Xie?
The Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Chenjun.

The two top aristocratic families, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when the two families were at their peak, were able to easily change the king and monopolize the official career of the entire court.

Very terrible also.

【Jincheng】

Cai Shikou.

Three o'clock noon.

Guo Shao and his family of 86 people were all escorted here, and after being verified, they were executed and killed on the spot.

With Guo Shao being interrogated and beheaded, all the corruption cases arising from the "Grisu Dam case" were also ended.

This time, countless prisoners were killed.

A one-time shock to all the officials in the ten counties of [Liangzhou], once rectified, this immediately reversed the atmosphere in the officialdom.

Most of the female relatives, servants, and domestic servants were all sent to [Xihai County] by the army, and many of them were slaves to armored men.

Today, [Xihai County] is under the command of General Fuyuan, Zhao Zilong, with [-] Xiliang elite cavalry, guarding against the invasion from the glorious dynasty.

However, [Xihai County] has a harsh climate, most areas are frozen all year round, and the grains do not grow.

Wide area and sparsely populated.

The local people are very poor.

Life is hard.

The reason why these sinners were sent here is also to uphold benevolence and righteousness, to give these people a chance to survive, and let them develop and enrich the economy here.

Frontier powerhouse.

Although it is desolate, it is also one of the precious territories of Great Qin, and it cannot be abandoned.

Protect it from generation to generation.

【Dingxi City】

The Yao family and Ji family, as well as the corresponding persons involved in the case, were also punished by the Ming Dynasty, and all men above the age of seven were beheaded for public display.

All property should be included in the treasury.

Women were assigned to [Xihai County] as armored men and slaves.

Cultivate wasteland on the frontier.

Survive.

On the same day, Xun Yu, the head of a hundred officials, convened cabinet members to start a new construction order in response to the "Grisu Dam Fraud Case".

Allocate 300 million taels of silver to rebuild the dam.

Benefit the country and the people.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Su Chen and his convoy appeared in a town under the jurisdiction of [Tianshui City].

【Nanshui Town】

As soon as they entered the town, they found that it was very lively, and there were many Hu merchants and Western Region merchants coming and going. It seemed that this town might be a transit point for business travelers.

【Day Day Red Restaurant】

Check in.

Small inn.

"How many do you want to eat?"

"The small shop is the best restaurant within a hundred miles."

"Excellent chef with great skills."

"Signature dish: Braised chicken with mushrooms."

"Famous far and wide."

"Would you like to try it?"

The boss on one side found out that Su Chen and the others were protected by the military master, so they waited on them very carefully, smiling all over their faces, not daring to show any neglect, for fear that they would lose their lives if they accidentally offended the servants.

"Chicken stewed with mushrooms?"

"The treasurer."

"Have a plate."

"Green pepper and potato shreds!"

"Three tiles."

"A carp soup."

"Stir-fried lamb."

"Half a catty of sauced beef."

"Three bowls of rice."

"First of all, hurry up."

Su Chen brought Nangong Qingya and Gu Nushen, the three of them came to the lobby, found a place to sit there, and prepared to fill their stomachs.

They are all hungry.

By the way, listen to some interesting gossip here.

Once seated, he volunteered and started ordering.

These teahouses and restaurants are full of people from all walks of life, and they are the most well-informed places.

"Okay."

"Three, wait a moment, immediately."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, the shopkeeper said quickly.

Talk to the back kitchen to report the dishes.

"Have you heard?"

"A big incident happened in Nanshan County yesterday."

"[The Li family in Nanshan County] was ordered by His Royal Highness Fusu to destroy the three clans, and the whole family was copied and beheaded."

"It is said that they acted very domineeringly and provoked a woman with a lot of background."

"After that, they were taken away by Habayashi Wei."

"Li Tanzhi, the Patriarch of the Li Family, was killed, and Li Gang, Captain of Nanshan, was also killed. No one from the Li Family survived."

"Blood flowed like a river."

As soon as they sat down, some business travelers traveling between the Western Regions and Jiuzhou began to discuss quietly with the strength of alcohol, and what they were discussing was the hot news about [Li Family in Nanshan County].

These business travelers have their own connections, and they can get a lot of gossip information before others.

This is their art of survival.

Everyone has one of their own ways of being.
