Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 91 Liaodong officialdom ([-])

Liaodong
Wuyou County

Bell's Manor
"The Zhong family in Wusu County privately owned salt and iron, and they will be punished as a crime of conspiracy, and the whole family will be exterminated!"

"kill!"

More than 2000 Liaodong County soldiers under the command of Li Yao, the county lieutenant, attacked the Zhongjia Manor.

"Li Duwei (Junwei), why did you want to destroy my whole family?" The Patriarch of the Zhong family was wearing a privately hidden armor, and was leading the Zhong family's private soldiers to resist the slaughter of the imperial army tenaciously.

"Li Yao has no choice but to obey the imperial court's order." Li Yao sighed. He didn't want to destroy the Zhong family. He even had a little marriage with the Zhong family. The concubine is a wife.

But the Zhong family didn't know good and bad, and after the private iron smelter was discovered by the patron, they didn't turn over the property, and ignored the one-year deadline of the court, so the Chang'an court decreed that Zhong Hui, the county magistrate of Wuwu County, beheaded for public display.

At the same time, under the order of the Chang'an court, Li Yao had no choice but to lead his troops to destroy his in-laws.

As early as the Chang'an court issued the order of the salt and iron official camp, all the families in Liaodong were trying to find ways to stop production and business, no longer sell salt and iron, and even demolished the iron smelting plant that had been built, and refused to bury the parts in the ground. It was handed over to the imperial court, and some directly dismantled the iron smelter and sold the parts to the Wang family at a low price.

Would rather dismantle it than give it to the court, this is the mentality of the powerful.

However, the Wang family accepted everything according to the order. Anyway, all kinds of precious facilities and equipment in the Wang family's saltworks and iron smelting plant were moved overseas as early as Wang Tairan's time, and the court could not trace them at all.

All the powerful saltworks and iron smelting plants in Liaodong were gone, and it was meaningless to support those craftsmen, so those craftsmen lost their jobs one after another. In order to support their families, the craftsmen had to go overseas to continue their employment on Wang's merchant ships.

As early as at the meeting of the eight major families in Liaodong, Wang Changzhi, Zhang Shou, and Li Yao reminded the major families to hide their properties. Please, don't disrespect the imperial order, otherwise they can only follow the imperial court's order and confiscate their family and exterminate their clan.

The Wang family's property is overseas, and the visitors can't find it. The Zhang family and the Li family have already dismantled the property into parts and sold it to the Wang family. The other five families are hesitant and unwilling to dismantle it. The family was ransacked and the family was wiped out, so they had to hand over their property to the imperial court. Only the Zhong family didn't know how to live or die, and dared not to hand it in when they were discovered by those who asked for it. In the end, all their families were wiped out.

"Dog Emperor Liu Che! You will die! Sang Hongyang, you will be hacked into pieces!" In despair, the Patriarch of the Zhong family looked up to the sky and screamed, looking at the slaughtered children of the family and the Zhong family who were captured by officers and soldiers. Woman, when he thought that his daughters, granddaughters, and granddaughters-in-law were going to be demoted by the court to go to the women's business, he cried even more bitterly, because he couldn't bear to see such a tragic situation again, so he drew his sword and killed himself.

"Father!"

"grandfather!"

The Zhong family was deeply saddened, but the soldiers of the Han army would not show mercy.

"what--"

"Don't kill me, I am willing to expose the hidden property of other tyrants, especially Wang, uh!!!"

The Zhong family who represented the Zhong family at the meeting wanted to survive by exposing the situation of other families.

however……

Cao Wang Changtu, a soldier of Liaodong County, rode his horse into the Zhong family's manor, pierced the Zhong family's chest with a single shot, and made him shut up completely.

Hearing that the Zhong family wanted to report the three families of Wang, Zhang, and Li before they died, and dragged the three families to the back, Li Yao also looked ugly, so he became cruel, and ordered the county soldiers: "Men from the Zhong family, kill them all, and don't let them stay." live!"

……

One month later

Liaodong County
"Everyone, we have made an agreement at the last meeting. No matter which family suffers, you are not allowed to report other families, and you are not allowed to hold people back. Raise an heir to prevent his incense from being cut off."

"Unfortunately, the Zhong family was investigated by visitors this time, and the family was even exterminated by the court. According to the agreement, we should deliberately release water when we exterminate the family, let a few Zhong family children escape from birth, and then be raised by our major families."

Wang Changzhi, the prefect of Liaodong, was speaking to the heads of the major families. Halfway through the speech, the topic changed:
"However, the Zhong family violated the agreement when they exterminated the family, and tried to drag our major families into trouble, so we had no choice but to kill the Zhong family!"

"This is a punishment for the Zhong family!"

After saying this, everyone remained silent. They were naturally saddened by the Zhong family's demise, but they thought that the Zhong family wanted to report them before they died, and held them back, so they clapped their hands and applauded the Zhong family's demise.

"The Zhong family is to blame for this."

"I just feel sorry for my youngest daughter. She married the young master of the Zhong family and became a wife, but she was arrested by the court and turned into an official prostitute. Alas..."

"It's just to redeem it with money, is your Chen family still short of this money?"

"This kind of thing is not honorable after all. Those people will gossip about it, saying that a woman from the Chen family in Liaoyang once worked as a prostitute for her daughter-in-law."

Everyone says what I say, like a mob.

"Everyone, the matter of the salt and iron industry is temporarily over. Although the major families have suffered losses, they have at least kept the family. They are not as desperate as the Zhong family." Wang Changzhi concluded, and then continued: "As for the various If the daughters of the family marry into the Zhong family, if they are unfortunately caught as daughter-in-laws, I will tell them not to let them go into business, and I don't need you to redeem them, just secretly send someone to take them home."

Lu is the manager of Nulu, and Nulu is a flower building run by the government. There are official prostitutes in it.

Nvlu was run by the government earlier than Yantie. The special service industry for women can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty, but at that time, this industry was privately operated. Later, Guan Zhong opened the government-run Nvlu, and other countries followed suit. Following suit, gradually, women's houses are gradually monopolized by the government, and privately run flower houses are still banned until now.

Of course, it's one thing that the law prohibits it, but it's another thing whether anyone takes the risk to break the law.

The law also prohibits the concealment of the number of tenant farmers in the field. Don't the tyrants still conceal the population of the field?The law also prohibits private possession of armor, but which tyrant dares to say that his family does not have a few pieces of armor in private?The law also prohibits the people from rebelling, but what's the use?
The same is true for women. Although it is monopolized by the government, each county has one and only one woman, and private business is prohibited, but there are some retail investors or freelancers hidden in an unknown corner of each county. , Under the control of rangers (triads), they have formed many small-scale special service industries.

Nulu is also a very important source of income for the Liaodong County Mansion, and most of them are women from sinner families, because in ordinary families, even if they are too poor to eat, they would rather work as maidservants for a powerful man than to earn a living as a nunlu. Therefore, there are no retail accounts in the women's house, and they are all girls from criminal families.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu."

Everyone thanked them. Naturally, they couldn't be short of this little money. The main reason is that they can take it home secretly. Others don't know that the daughter of their family has been with the woman. It would be too embarrassing if they redeemed it openly.
