The invitation posted by Patriarch Li is very polite, with a very low posture, which is completely different from the previous attitude of wrestling with her and waiting for her to surrender.

At first glance at this long and cumbersome invitation, it seemed that the Li family couldn't take it anymore and wanted to take the initiative to make peace with Zhao Yanhuan and admit defeat, but Zhao Yanhuan didn't believe that the Li family leader would admit defeat so easily, most likely this was a grand banquet.

Qiyue also felt that the Li family was uneasy and kind, and said directly: "My lord, we can't take risks, let a few generals directly lead troops to level these families."

Zhao Yanhuan put down the invitation card, and said calmly: "Although their private army is not well-raised, they are not waste. If they really want to fight, casualties will inevitably be avoided."

"If they are really uneasy and kind, and want to do something at the banquet, it will make it easier for me to deal with them."

Zhao Yanhuan only brought a dozen or so guards with him to the banquet this time, and went to Li's house seemingly defenseless.

Patriarch Li was very enthusiastic, and Patriarch Bai and Patriarch Jin came out early to greet Zhao Yanhuan.

"Thank you, Mr. Nanze, for coming to the banquet in spite of his busy schedule. It's really full of glory."

Zhao Yan greeted him with a smile: "Where, Patriarch Li is being polite. If I hadn't been busy all this time, I should have invited some Patriarchs to see me soon."

Patriarch Bai said from the side: "Let's stop being polite at the door, let's invite Mr. Nanze into the mansion for a seat."

Patriarch Bai spoke, Zhao Yanhuan finished his greetings with Patriarch Li, and the group entered the lobby of Patriarch Li's courtyard where the banquet was held.

As the person with the highest status, Zhao Yanhuan was naturally the head of the seat, with Patriarch Li, Patriarch Bai, and Patriarch Jin sitting on both sides.

The hall was full of serving servants, the silk and bamboo orchestra played, a group of beautiful dancers began to dance, and more than a dozen maids lined up to serve the dishes.

Homeowner Li pointed to a plate of unremarkable crab roe tofu in front of him, and said to Zhao Yanhuan, "My family's crab roe tofu is a must. Nanze Jun, try it to see if it suits your appetite."

Zhao Yanhuan scooped up a spoonful of tofu with a small carved silver spoon, put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but praise in amazement after tasting it carefully: "It's delicious, the tofu is very tender and smooth, very fresh, without the slightest smell of tofu, Good workmanship."

The owner of the Li family said with a little show off: "This tofu is not made of beans at all. Naturally, it has no fishy smell. This tofu is crab blood tofu made with the blood of hundreds of crabs, and the crab roe of hundreds of crabs This plate of crab roe tofu was fried."

Patriarch Jin gave Zhao Yanhuan another bowl of soup, in which a peony was in full bloom, the soup was as clear as water, and you could take a sip, but the soup had a strong aroma, and when you ate the peony, you could feel the fragrance of flowers in your mouth.

The head of the Jin family also explained somewhat ostentatiously: "Although this peony is carved from a radish, it uses flowers from all seasons, steamed and dried nine times, and the fragrance of the flowers is completely integrated into the peony carved on a radish."

"Using dozens of precious ingredients to make this bowl of clear soup, and putting peonies in it, it takes more than ten days from making to finishing."

Next, Patriarch Li, Patriarch Jin, and Patriarch Bai took turns to give each dish that Zhao Yanhuan popularized science. All of them were cumbersome to make and took a long time.

Zhao Yanhuan knew that the three of them were showing off to her. He thought it was a pure grand feast, but he didn't expect to corrupt her. It made her feel what luxury is, and it's best to indulge in it.

Probably these three families know her mud-legged origin, and want to let her experience the good life of these 'upper class', so as to dispel her determination to eradicate their families.

After all, if there is a real fight, even if her leader, Mr. Nanze, is dead, and there are still soldiers under her, they may not necessarily surrender because of this. It is inevitable that both sides will suffer. Once the family is injured, Nanze Zhou's big fat will definitely be targeted by other families.

Zhao Yanhuan just listened to Patriarch Li, Patriarch Jin, and Patriarch Bai showing off all kinds of things, and simply ate them without hesitation. He had to say that these dishes were worthy of the time and materials it took, and they were extremely delicious.

Zhao Yanhuan himself is absolutely reluctant to eat so extravagantly, at most, he can eat once in a while to satisfy his cravings, and take the opportunity to eat more quickly.

Zhao Yanhuan's attitude was too obvious, as the banquet was halfway through, Patriarch Li, Patriarch Jin, and Patriarch Bai could tell that although Zhao Yanhuan had come to the banquet, he had no intention of peacefully co-existing with them.

It seems that he can't be kind, so Patriarch Li didn't bother to continue wasting time with Zhao Yanhuan. He winked at Patriarch Bai and Patriarch Jin, and the three of them picked up the wine glass and threw it down together, while quickly pretending to be the servants' guards Back under protection.

The three of them had already thought about this point. Although they didn't know if Zhao Yanhuan would be good at kung fu, the guards around Zhao Yanhuan were definitely not easy-going lamps. They paid great attention to their own safety.

The head of the Li family prepared thousands of people in advance, all of whom were the most elite guards in ambush in the mansion. He thought very well, as long as Zhao Yanhuan dared to come to the banquet, even if he had prepared in advance, he would have to die here, without leaving any future troubles .

Patriarch Li thought beautifully, but as soon as he went out, the guards around him were shot to death by a burst of arrows. Patriarch Li, Patriarch Bai, and Patriarch Jin didn't react quickly. Soon, three long knives were placed on three on the neck of a patriarch.

Only then did the three realize that the entire Li Mansion had been controlled, and Patriarch Li was a little dazed that he couldn't react.

how can that be possible?His thousand elites, not to mention one against a hundred, one against ten can be done, how could he be caught so easily? !
Patriarch Bai and Patriarch Jin stopped thinking after being hit in the head, they would only be pushed and pushed away, followed by Patriarch Li, and were crushed in front of Zhao Yanhuan again.

Zhao Yanhuan was still eating, and the house was quiet and there was no chaos at all. Even the dancing girls and musicians were still dancing and playing music tremblingly.

Zhao Yanhuan looked at Patriarch Li who didn't know what happened, and raised his eyebrows: "Patriarch Li's way of hospitality is really rude, how could he leave the guests and run away?"

Patriarch Li looked at Zhao Yanhuan unwillingly: "Why? You obviously only brought a dozen guards with you. Why, when did you let someone control my Li residence?"

Zhao Yanhuan took a sip of the soup and let out a sigh of satisfaction: "Patriarch Li made it clear that he wanted to plot against me, and I'm not a fool, so why not act first."

The dozen or so guards that Zhao Yanhuan brought with him at the beginning were to deceive others. After Zhao Yanhuan entered the Li residence, taking advantage of the opportunity that Patriarch Li, Patriarch Bai, and Patriarch Jin were all with Zhao Yanhuan, Zhao Huaer brought five hundred special forces Sneaked in quietly.

The head of the Li family thought that the guards he arranged could outnumber ten, and that the elites were invincible, but they were incomparable with Zhao Yanhuan's specially trained special forces.

In the room, Zhao Yanhuan kept listening to Patriarch Li, Patriarch Jin, and Patriarch Bai to show off, just to buy time for Zhao Huaer. By the time Patriarch Li and the three of them threw the cup to tear their face apart, it was too late.

Zhao Yanhuan didn't bother to pay attention to the three owners of the Li family who had been clamoring and clamoring unwillingly. He directly suppressed them and paid off the property of the three families as quickly as possible. All criminals were arrested, and the land was measured and distributed to the people.

During this process, Wan Qi and Lu Yifan, who were well aware of the details of the three families, made great efforts to convict the three families of death because of the evidence they found.

Although the Li family, the Bai family, and the Jin family are also hated by people, there is a Lu family who stands in front of them. After the three families were convicted, they were not too concerned by the people. The landing family went.

What diverted the people's attention from the Lu family was Zhao Yanhuan's announcement that the land would be distributed to all the people in South Zezhou. This time, Zhao Yanhuan would distribute the land to all the people in South Zezhou, regardless of gender.

However, after the children are ten years old, they are basically sure that they can feed themselves before allocating the land. Ten acres of permanent land per person can be bought and sold, or passed on to future generations without being taken back. Forty acres of open fields, open fields are never allowed Buy and sell, and return to the government after death.

Zhao Yanhuan registered all the open fields and sealed them up. The registered open fields, no matter whether they are individuals or families, nobles or even the royal family, are not allowed to buy or sell for any reason. Anyone who buys and sells open fields will be punished as a felony.

This law is useless now, there are no aristocratic families in Nanzezhou, let alone royal nobles, Zhao Yanhuan made this law for the future, Lutian will never allow transactions in order to prevent future land annexation .

For the people, the matter of land distribution is much more important than torturing the Lu family. Torturing the Lu family is just to vent their resentment, but the land distribution is related to the survival of their children and grandchildren, and whether they can live a good life.

If it hadn't been for Zhao Yanhuan, Nan Ze Jun who had done a lot for them, the person who was going to give them the land, they wouldn't have believed that any official would kindly give them the land.

But the person who said this was Mr. Nanze, who gave medical treatment and medicine for free, who valued each of their lives, and who would not give up on them even when they got the plague, so they believed it unconditionally.

So when Zhao Yanhuan announced the start of land distribution and asked them to take their household registration certificates and go to the government office of Nanze Prefecture to register and wait for the land distribution, everyone followed suit.

Considering the existence of hidden households, Zhao Yanhuan specially asked Wan Qi to arrange a few people to re-apply household registration certificates for the people of hidden households, so as to facilitate the distribution of land.

Because this time Zhao Yanhuan divided the land and treated girls equally, which meant that girls also had assets, which could bring benefits to the family, and invisibly improved the status of women.

If it was a good time, Zhao Yanhuan's promotion of women's status would definitely cause opposition from many men, but now the aristocratic family that had no worries about food and drink and was willing to oppose the promotion of women's status was uprooted by Zhao Yanhuan.

The rest of the common people will die just to deal with exorbitant taxes and various kinds of corvee. They don't care whether the status of women is as high as them. Anyway, under high pressure, they are not as good as animals like women.

What's more, Zhao Yanhuan's distribution of land to women not only benefits the women, but also the men of the family. He is a vested interest, so for the benefits of oppressing women and obtaining them, the common people will naturally choose the benefits of real money .

After eradicating the four great families and winning the hearts of the people, Zhao Yanhuan began to build Nanzezhou in a big way.

The glass factory, cosmetics factory, and candy factory brought Zhao Yanhuan a large amount of gold and silver in an endless stream. Of course, a larger amount of gold and silver was placed in Dong Guan's private treasury.

Luan Bao, who took advantage of the business opportunity to report the situation to Zhao Yanhuan last time, said that Dong Guan's treasure house has more than tripled in size.

Zhao Yanhuan invested all the money he earned in the construction of Nanzezhou, building bridges and paving roads, building city walls, and most importantly, building weapons and armor justifiably.

At the same time, let the common people grow the high-yielding fine seeds that she had optimized. These Zhao Yanhuans went very smoothly. The people of Nanzezhou trusted Zhao Yanhuan very much. Zhao Yanhuan wanted to build roads, and the common people enthusiastically signed up to do it for free. Road repairs for free.

Zhao Yanhuan asked the common people to plant high-yielding fine seeds, and the common people planted them without saying a word. They believed that Mr. Nanze would not harm them, so the common people planted with confidence.

During this process, Nanze Continent's Zhizhou Wan Qi contributed a lot, and he was able to manage the affairs of the continent with ease, and his suggestions to Zhao Yanhuan were also meaningful. He was a practical official, which Zhao Yanhuan appreciated very much.

Originally, Zhao Yanhuan wanted to get Wan Qi's official position, but now he has given up this idea. Apart from Wan Qi, Lu Yifan also showed his talent for being an official.

Although before Zhao Yanhuan was a little worried that Lu Yifan was too cold and ruthless, he didn't know how to show mercy to all beings, so he couldn't be a good official.

But Zhao Yanhuan thought about it, and decided to use it. Zhao Yanhuan was sure that with her, he could suppress Lu Yifan for a day, so that he would not dare to change his mind.

When everything was getting better and better, Zhao Yanhuan's fourth uncle, Zhao Yicang, also brought good news. The Baisteel that Zhao Yanhuan had been asking Zhao Yicang to study hard was finally created.

With the weapons made by Baisteel, Zhao Yanhuan's soldiers will have a slightly better chance of surviving on the battlefield than other soldiers.

Three years passed in a blink of an eye, and Nanzezhou has undergone earth-shaking changes. With the support of Dong Guan, even if there is no aristocratic family, no other aristocratic family dares to make plans for Nanzezhou.

Because of Zhao Yanhuan's low taxation, the people's families have surplus food. Now, except for the corvee service several times a year that makes them fearful and desperate, the rest of their lives are really much easier.

For Zhao Yanhuan, Nan Ze Jun, they went from being grateful to being deeply convinced and loving. Now Zhao Yanhuan's words are more effective than the king of heaven.

In fact, the corvee of the people in Nanzezhou has been much lighter. With Dong Guan’s intercession, the corvee in Nanzezhou has always been easy, but the people still can’t bear the hard work of the corvee. In the final analysis, even if the corvee is reduced, it is too heavy.

The new emperor is extremely absurd. Although the previous emperor also enjoyed luxury and enjoyment, he still knew the same things to do. The current emperor is going hand in hand. Today he wants to build a palace, and tomorrow he wants to practice a palace. All kinds of corvees are too frequent.

The common people didn't have time to farm and farm, and in the end, the harvest in the fields decreased. It was better to have Zhao Yanhuan's high-yield varieties in Nanzezhou. Other states have reached the point of selling their sons and daughters.

The new emperor is also very picky. The people serve corvee and take care of themselves. In this way, people who eat well are fine, and more people are unable to feed them. If they are not full, they still do heavy physical work. commonplace.

In the past, ten people went and five returned, but now they are in corvée, ten people go, and two or three people can come back is considered too many.
