It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 122 My father is a bully!

"Come with me."

Liu Ke put Chen Fujia's strategy on hold for now.

Let Chen Fujia and Hua Chengyu take the first step, while he himself took Dian Chu, ordered the eight hundred imperial guards, and went to the Huang family where the county magistrate Huang Shang was.

Throughout the ages, military looting has been done for two reasons.

One is to appease and reward the soldiers.

The second is to deter the enemy and disintegrate its will to fight.

From the perspective of today's world, the various forces governing localities, in most cases, are in the form of semi-autonomous, and the imperial power does not come down to the county.

The same is true for Donghu.

After taking Beipu County, He Kun was still appointed as the county guard.

why?

Because He Kun was not only the sheriff of the Han Dynasty, but also a member of the He family in Beipu County.

To be a good magistrate, one must have connections in the local area. He Kun is a direct descendant of the He family in Beipu. If he is not used to govern Beipu County, who else can he use?
If you use someone else, you will most likely be tripped by He Shi.

It is because of these semi-autonomous governance methods.

After the army breaks through the city, appropriate looting can effectively disintegrate the resistance of other counties and local gentry.

After all, they are all local forces, which boss are you going to hang out with, or not?
Liu Ke also thought of this, so he planned to start from this aspect.

Try your own method first, and if it doesn't work, replace it with Chen Fujia's.

At this time, Huang Shang was at home, waiting for the emperor to come.

Although he resisted the Han army, he finally surrendered.

Resisting is considered loyalty, and finally surrendering is considered to be aware of current affairs, and both sides can please.

And he, Huang Shang, is not only the county magistrate of Linyi County, but the Huang family behind him is also a local wealthy family.

Originally, he was a little restless before, because he was afraid that Emperor Han would send troops to loot after the city was broken.

But after hearing that the Han generals took the initiative to behead a few soldiers who violated military discipline, he felt at ease, and a giant fell to the ground.

It seems that Emperor Han wanted to occupy Jiaozhi and treat it as the territory of the Han Dynasty for governance.

This is quite easy to understand.

From the time of Emperor Xiaowu, Jiaozhi was the prefecture of the Han Dynasty, but it was located on the border, and it didn't pay much attention to governance.

In the past, the imperial court of the Han Dynasty had insufficient control over Jiaozhi, so that there were several rebellions later, and finally the Shi family who fled to the south succeeded in becoming the local emperor.

It's all because the capital of the great Han Dynasty was in Chang'an.

It's beyond the reach of the whip, and it can't be controlled.

Now that the big man has arrived in Qiongzhou, it is much more meaningful to fully control Jiaozhi, and it is faster to convey government orders.

"Since the big man wants to occupy Jiaozhi."

Huang Shang sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, as long as Emperor Han has this idea, he is already invincible.

Emperor Han wanted to get local help from the Jiaozhi Kingdom, better conquer the city, and even govern the region afterwards, so he needed to be treated more courteously.

He could even guess that soon Emperor Han would personally come to appease him and promise him great profits.

"father!"

Huang Shang's fourth son, Huang Gongquan, rushed to report.

"Gong Quan's footsteps are so hasty, it should be the emperor's arrival?"

"Your Majesty has come, and he has brought soldiers and horses."

"Are you bringing soldiers?"

Huang Shang was startled, then sneered to himself.

Coercion and temptation are nothing more than that.

Xu Yizhong's profit is a lure, so leading troops here is naturally a coercion.

Emperor Han was a man of means. Even if he showed his favor, he knew that he should be deterred.

Seeing this, Huang Shang didn't think about it any more, and summoned the whole family into the lobby, waiting for the emperor to enter the mansion.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Huang Shang led his family to bow down, with a full gesture.

Didn't you want Wei?
Here you are.

Anyway, he was still a wealthy family in Linyi County after that, and his food and drink expenses were not bad at all.

Maybe there are still people in the clan who can be officials in the court.

Although the great Han court had retreated to Qiongzhou, the Han Emperor was young and promising, and he allowed Wen Yunwu to let people see the signs of revitalizing the Han Dynasty.

It is not impossible to be a minister of the dragon and go one step further.

Liu Ke walked into the gate and stopped as soon as he entered the courtyard.

It was surrounded by lush green trees, and a huge ancient tree was planted in the center, its canopy covering almost half of the yard.

Seeing this beautiful scenery, he exclaimed:

"It's really a majestic scene!"

"I just don't know how much money was spent."

The emperor's words sounded light, but when he thought about it carefully, there was a meaning in it, and something seemed wrong.

Huang Shang hurried forward to greet him, explaining helplessly:

"There are a lot of people in the old man's house, and the yard is bigger. There is no way."

"Your Majesty really cares about the people. He only took one look at the size of the courtyard and began to worry about the people."

"This old man has even heard that after His Majesty entered the city, all the people in the restraint department did not commit any crimes. He is really a teacher of justice!"

"If I had known this before, I would have surrendered the city!"

"Although the old man is dull, he also knows that His Majesty acts kingly, and the army of the Great Han King is unstoppable. Fortunately, he is still able to serve His Majesty today. From now on, he only wishes to serve His Majesty!"

hiss.
This is really worthy of having been an official for decades, but what he said is the same thing.

Liu Ke came to look for leeks this time, but he didn't expect that the leeks would fall in the wind, and it was not easy to get up.

It’s not easy to get Karma, but where does the money come from, how can Buga appease the refugees, how to appease the soldiers?

Liu Ke said seemingly casually:

"You have too many fields."

As soon as these words came out, Huang Shang felt desperate. His previous thoughts seemed to be all wrong.

Was it the idea of ​​the emperor's parents?

No wonder there are too many people as soon as you enter the door.

But the Huang family can walk sideways in Linyi County and become the county magistrate, isn't it because the family has a thousand acres of land?

A wealthy family, a wealthy family, without land, what kind of a wealthy family?
However, seeing the eight hundred well-equipped and extremely fierce guards behind the emperor, Huang Shang really didn't dare to have his heart.

After thinking about it, Huang Shang had no choice but to say:
"The old man is willing to donate his family's property, and go through fire and water for the great man from generation to generation!"

Liu Ke asked back: "Give up all the property?"

Huang Shang gritted his teeth, and his heart sank:
"Give it all!"

Liu Ke stared at Huang Shang, and after a long time, said:

"That's why I have ghosts in my heart."

"If it's a legitimate land, why don't you give it all?"

"Even though I lead the king's teacher to save the people from the fire and water, the Huang family is loyal to the king and wholeheartedly for the country, and wants to donate land to support the court."

"But all the land is donated. What do you eat and drink in Huang's family?"

"If it wasn't for the ghosts in my heart, I wanted to use this to please me and avoid my guilt, how could it be like this!"

Huang Shang was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

If the emperor wants land, he will give it, or give it all, and it turns out that it is also a crime to give it all?

But Liu Ke didn't pay much attention to Huang Shang, but asked Huang Gongquan behind Huang Shang:

"You are the son of Huang Shang. Let me tell you, these fields in your family, but your father took them by stealth and usurped them?"

Huang Gongquan was startled, isn't this nonsense?

If the rich family had the misfortune to seize and plunder, how could there be so many fields?

Can Tian be able to grow Tian?
Cultivate wasteland by yourself?
What a waste of time!

Just look at the refugees who were driven from outside the county seat. Why did they become refugees?

The land cultivated by the family failed to harvest.

Why is the land not harvested?

There are many reasons, and one of them is that someone is behind the scenes!
It is too stupid to rob directly, the reputation is not good, and it is easy to be pinched.

But if your land is not harvested and you become a refugee, the wealthy people can take over the land as they should.

You can't even plant the land given to you, so let me plant it instead.

Huang Gongquan looked at the calm emperor, and then at the silent old father.

He immediately made up his mind, his eyes were clear, and he spoke righteously:

"My father, Huang Shang, robbed countless lands by clever means, so that countless people's families were ruined, please punish him severely!"

Liu Ke's stern face paused, and he spoke softly:
"Public power understands righteousness, but this matter has also reminded me."

"Well, in order to prevent another villain like Huang Shang from ruining the family style of the Huang family, we now implement separation."

"There are at most ten people in a household."

"In this way, even if there are more treacherous and evil people, it will not affect too many children from good families."

Huang Gongquan wants to cry but has no tears. He has righteously exterminated his relatives and reported his old father. In the end, he ended up with the Huang family splitting up?

If the family is not divided, but the land is gone, the family is still there, and the appeal is still there, we can think of ways to turn around.

But if the family is separated and the land is not yet available, this is a hard life and they can't live through it. Just be a refugee!

Huang Shang heard from the side, and already understood that the emperor wanted to punish him as a model.

Feeling depressed, he even wanted to kill the king on the spot.

It's a pity that I can't kill him.

Who doesn't know that Emperor Han was a brave general who was born in the world?

Seeing the expressions of the father and son, Liu Ke gave them time to relax before continuing:

"Public power and righteousness are for the public, but I am not a heartless person."

"Although the Huang family is separated, everyone in the family who can do farming, no matter men, women, old or young, can reserve ten acres of land."

Ok?
A little color returned to Huang Gongquan's face.

Ten acres may seem small, but under the two conditions of "everything feasible for farming" and "no matter men, women, old or young", there is a lot of room for manipulation.

Even if the family is separated to farm, it may not be impossible to save a solid family business.

just
Huang Gongquan thought about it, sneaked a look at the emperor, and finally gave up the idea of ​​making more fuss here.

Although he had no family business, he managed to save his life.

So he forced a smile and said:
"The villain knows that my father has committed a lot of crimes, and the Huang family has left His Majesty to deal with it. The villain dare not have any complaints."

Liu Ke nodded slightly.

He did a good job. Huang Gongquan is not a great talent, but he still knows current affairs.

He left two loose openings just to test Huang Gongquan.

If he is really ignorant of current affairs and just gives a stick to climb up, then don't blame him for ransacking the house.

But if you know how to behave, you have to give some benefits.

Give me a slap and a piece of candy.

Only when you take it in and let it go, can the fish get into your hands.

Liu Ke immediately showed a smile like the warm sun in March, and said:
"I want to govern Linyi County, but my soldiers will not be familiar with the affairs of Linyi, so I need to appoint local scholars."

Huang Gongquan was like a dead fish, he lost all strength, after hearing this, a dead fish came back to life.

What should come still has to come.

Even if the family wealth is gone now, and only poor people are left, as long as you become the county magistrate of Linyi, after ten or twenty years, won't the allocated land come back?
Huang Gongquan suppressed the joy in his heart and bowed:

"The villain is not talented, and I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for His Majesty!"

Liu Ke opened Huang Gongquan's attribute panel smoothly.

[Name: Huang Gongquan (Corporal)]

【Age: 36】

【Command: 21; Force: 47; Wisdom: 61; Administration: 77】

[Feature: None]

so so.

But Liu Ke also knows that Linyi County is just a county seat, and he doesn't expect to find any talents from all over the world.

Even if you can find potential ones, you have to raise them slowly.

It would be nice to be able to produce a corporal, and it is barely enough to govern a county.

Liu Ke was quite satisfied with Huang Gongquan's performance, so he asked:

"In your opinion, how should we deal with Huang Shang, a bully who runs rampant in the village?"

Huang Gongquan suddenly bowed down, with a look of disgust on his face, and said:
"kill!"

"If you dare to embezzle people's fat and people's ointment, even my own father will have to be killed!"

At this moment, Hua Chengyu entered the courtyard and whispered something in Liu Ke's ear.

"Oh? Someone brought it."

Liu Ke waved his hand and asked the eight hundred imperial guards on both sides to get out of their way.

Then Chen Fujia came forward with a large group of poorly dressed common people.

There are local small farmers here, as well as refugees who were driven from the north to the south.

But no matter what their status is, when they see this compound, they are all trembling.

The look of fear on his face was even worse than facing the emperor.

After all, these powerful families are the ones who make them fear endlessly. As for the emperor
Not to mention the emperor of the Han Dynasty who can't be beaten, even if the King of Cochin is standing in front of them, they don't know him!
"Everyone take a look, this is Huang Shang, the bully who annexes the people's fields for disaster in the village on weekdays!"

The refugees looked at each other in blank dismay, and could not help but take a few steps back.

"I took over the land of the Huang family and redistributed it according to the Dingkou of each household in Linyi County."

"The extra acres will be distributed to the refugees who have not harvested their land and fled south."

"The imperial court does not want land, and only collects annual land taxes according to the tax law."

The people with hungry faces only understood a little bit of the meaning.

But even so, there was a little more brilliance in his eyes.

Yes. Tian?
Who in this era doesn't have much skill in farming?
The demands of the common people are very simple, the only thing is to live.

But with fields, they can live.

What's more, the land of this wealthy family is not granted by the imperial court, the kind of land that also counts uncultivated wasteland.

It's the real value, a fertile field that can grow food after cultivation!

Liu Ke asked Hua Chengyu to come forward, ready to cut Huang Shang directly, and Ming Zhengdian punished him.

Although there are not many refugees and ordinary people on the scene, they are enough.

Spread the word about this and his way of governing.

Just let the people of Jiaozhi see what the Han army did after breaking through the city.

Even if the scene is bigger, the effect will be better.

But Liu Ke really didn't have this time delay.

He had to try his best to spread the news in a short period of time, and believed that the rich, refugees, and common people in the counties under Ninan County would know how to do it.

Seeing Hua Chengyu make a move, his father could no longer live.

Huang Gongquan realized in his heart, and shouted in front of the people:
"it is good!"

"The villain who bullies men and women, rampages in the countryside, exploits the common people, and invades the people's fields is Huang Shang!"

In an instant, Huang Shang's head fell to the ground, and he could not rest in peace.

Huang Gongquan immediately stepped forward, raised his head, and shouted:

"My father is a bully, and the bully is my father!"

The onlookers didn't know much about it, but they all cheered and applauded loudly when they saw that such a rich man who invaded the people's land died and he had a share of the land.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Huang Gongquan lowered his head in the noisy crowd and closed Huang Shang's eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Ke overestimated Huang Gongquan a bit.

Then he ordered Chen Fujia and Hua Chengyu again:
"The two of you are responsible for counting the acres of land and refugees, and redistributing them."

"Especially you, Chen Qing."

"What we are doing is not the work of grabbing the rich family's land, but redistributing the land according to the new distribution rules of the imperial court."

Liu Ke still wants to use Chen Fujia's "smart words".

This guy went on an envoy to persuade him to surrender, and he was either beaten or returned the same way.

But this time, it should be all right to persuade the wealthy gentry and fool the refugees, right?

"In addition, we must let the soldiers in the army participate in it. Even if it is to help the refugees guide the way or assist in resettlement, they must have more contact with the refugees who have been allocated fields."

Hua Chengyu was just responding, his brain was not that good, and he didn't understand the deep meaning behind the emperor's move.

But it is good to let the common people have farms and appease this wave of troublesome refugees.

And Chen Fujia thought about it for a while, and he understood.

This time, the emperor has done a great thing!
