Chapter 631
Suo Jing hurried to Dunhuang.

This is where he was born and raised.

Without the rise of the Qin State, the Hexi gentry would probably only be wandering on the edge of the power center forever.

The rise of Qin State gave the Hexi gentry great opportunities.

In fact, the king of Qin has treated the Hexi nobles well these years.

Guide them to set up a caravan, transport goods to the countries in the Western Regions, from east to west of Congling, north and south of Tianshan Mountain, and rare treasures come rolling in.

Dunhuang was the first to bear the brunt, earning a lot of money.

The powerful sons of the gentry, as long as they have talents, they will use them according to their abilities, and they can be found in the local government and the army.

In addition to Suo Jing, the Suo family also had Suo Rang and Suo Yong serving in the court, and the children of the Huangfu family, Zhang family, and Jia family were all over the state of Qin.

Although the king of Qin favored the poor and common people, the poor and common people could not compare with the powerful gentry in terms of quality and quantity.

As the Great Qin prospered, so did the powerful gentry.

However, what Suo Jing didn't expect was that they were so short-sighted, directly confronting King Qin for the benefit of the land...

This is actually damaging the interests of the entire Hexi gentry.

The gentry of Hexi is not irreplaceable, the gentry of Central Shu are eyeing, and the children of Qingying...

Daqin can live without Hexi gentry, but Hexi gentry cannot live without Daqin.

That's why Suo Jing had to stand up and take the responsibility.

Suo Jing left the [-] military guards camp in Jiuquan and came with only a few entourages, dispelling the doubts of the Dunhuang tyrants.

"Brother came back just in time!" Clan brother Suo Xiong said excitedly.

"Oh?" Suo Jing was burning with anxiety, but there was a spring breeze on his face.

"The King of Qin wanted to steal our family property, so we had no choice but to overturn his table! My brother came back just in time, and he will conspire with me!" Suo Xiong is Suo Jing's younger brother in terms of seniority, but he is actually older than him One round, but the powerful gentry are very ethical, and the seniority cannot be messed up.

"King Qin has two to three million tigers and wolves, how many people can we have in the Suo family?" Suo Jing stared at him.

The death of Chang Ji and the soldiers of the Chinese army must give King Qin an explanation.

After people go mad, they usually cannot be persuaded to come back.

Suo Xiong became alert, "Oh? Why did brother come back this time?"

"After you do such a big thing, King Qin can still keep me? I have to go back to my hometown to avoid disaster!" Suo Jing complained.

Suo Xiong was overjoyed, "That's very good. Yang Zheng is just a slave of the family. After gaining power, he became tyrannical and tyrannical. First, there was the system of land equalization, and then there was the order of land sharing, which caused resentment among the people in Hexi. The elder brother's talent is ten times that of Yang Zheng..."

Suo Jing was sweating coldly. Fortunately, he responded to Yang Zheng's call two years ago and moved his family to Chang'an, otherwise...

"It's not just our Sox family, is it?"

"Of course not. Zhilianluo, Luo Rilu, and Qiuci have all sent people to contact. The Zhang family, the Yin family, and the Ma family have all participated. This time, there is an elder brother who is in charge of the overall situation. This matter is absolutely certain!"

"It just so happens that I have [-] plays left in Jiuquan, and I can help you if I gather them!" Hearing that there was no Huangfu family, Suo Jing felt a lot relieved.

The Huangfu family has far-reaching influence in Kansai, without their participation, this disaster would not be difficult to quell.

Suo Xiong looked suspicious.

Suo Jing continued: "The matter of saving the land cannot be resisted by the King of Qin. We should follow the old example of Guangwu, unite with the scholars, and only attack the government offices of counties and counties. Let the King of Qin see the strength of the Hexi scholars and force them to take a step back. Mediate from it, and each family collects some gold and silver treasures to contribute, so that this matter can be turned into a small matter!"

"As expected of brother!" The suspicion on Suoxion's face gradually faded away.

"You can call all the families together. If you really want to, come to Dunhuang tomorrow night to discuss important issues." Suo Jing's eyes flashed brightly.

Seeing Suoxiong's posture, he hooked up with Moxi Xianbei and Qiuci, this time it's a big deal.

For the sake of the Suo family, for the sake of the Hexi scholars, Suo Jing had no choice but to be a strong man...

In the palace of King Qin.

Yang Zheng is playing chess with Lu Zhi.

It's okay to ask Yang Zheng to slash people with a knife, but it's not easy to ask him to play chess.

Even though Lu Zhi gave way deliberately, Yang Zheng still couldn't win.

"Your Majesty is restless." Lu Zhi laughed.

The chaos in central Shu and Hexi is a pot of porridge, and it is strange to be calm.

"The country is in turmoil, it's hard to be peaceful." Yang Zheng put the chess piece back.

"Suo Jing is a sergeant in Hexi, he is both talented and civil. He will definitely put the country first. There is nothing to worry about in Dunhuang. There is Du Yuankai in the middle of Shu. The people are only bewitched for a while, and the disaster will not last long. Moreover, the army is under the control of the king. In the middle, if the Qin army is not chaotic, then the Great Qin will definitely not be chaotic, and Dutian will surely be implemented." Lu Zhi said warmly.

Emperor Guangwu made such a big commotion in Dutian because the tyrants themselves were also shareholders of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they still had soldiers and food in their hands.

But Qin's tycoon is not a shareholder, and the military power in his hand is not of the same order of magnitude as Qin's army.

Therefore, as long as the army is firmly in control, the implementation of Dutian is inevitable.

Yang Zheng said: "If the rebellion is delayed for a long time, I'm afraid it will delay the recuperation of the people."

The news from the Central Plains is not very good.

Two years after the implementation of the land occupation system, money and food were in abundance, and the nobles and common people all supported Sima Zhao, and the power of the Central Plains rose greatly.

Luoyang began to expand its army again.

Auspicious offerings came from all over the place, black turtles came out of Luoshui, phoenixes came out of Huai River, and even the Murong Ministry offered unicorns and golden harvests...

Sima Zhao gave amnesty to the whole world, used the civil and military talents of the gentry, the poor, and the common people on a large scale, and everyone in the Central Plains praised it, and it was peaceful.

Zhan Tianzhi's aphrodisiac effect is initially unfolding.

Maybe in less than four or five years, the Sima family will be ready to move.

No, the siege of Taiyuan was already their counterattack.

So time is very precious to Yang Zheng.

Once the strength of the Central Plains is restored, there will inevitably be years of wars, and Yang Zheng doesn't have the energy to integrate the interior even if he wants to.

"Your Majesty used to have only tens of thousands of soldiers, and his land was only in Xiping. He was not afraid of the Sima family. Now he has more than [-] troops in Hetao, Hexi, and the desert grasslands in the middle of Sichuan. Are you still afraid of the Sima family? In great chaos, the foundation is the foundation of self-defense!" Lu Zhi's confidence is stronger than Yang Zheng's.

That being said, I was barefoot back then and had already been branded as Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan, so I could only charge forward with a knife in my hand. Now that my family has a big business, people worry about gains and losses. Yang Zheng blushed for a while, "Uncle Exactly what he said."

As long as the military power is firmly grasped, Qin will not be in chaos!
"Report to the king, urgent report from Dunhuang!" Zhao Aqi hurried over.

Yang Zheng cheered up and came so soon.

After reading the letter, Yang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Suo Jing lived up to his trust, and pretended to join forces with all the tribes in Dunhuang, set up a Hongmen banquet, summoned all the tyrants, the envoys of Moxi Xianbei, and the Western Regions, and wiped them all out.

Suo Xiong, the mastermind, was beheaded by Suo Jing on the spot.

The seven powerful families in Dunhuang who participated in the rebellion were uprooted and were on their way to escort Chang'an.

What surprised Yang Zheng was that although Dunhuang prefect Huangfu Tao did not participate, he did not report to Chang'an either.

With such a big event happening under the rule, how can the prefect not hear any news?
The crime of dereliction of duty is definitely indispensable.

Since he took up Daqin's job and didn't want to do anything for Daqin, this prefect would definitely not be able to continue.

"Huangfu Tao was dismissed from office, deposed as common people, other sinners, etc.—" Yang Zheng must have meant to make an example of others, but after touching Lu Zhi's gentle eyes, the murderous intention in his heart dissipated a lot, "Other sinners, etc., exile to Juyan, Shuofang is a slave!"
