A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 321 If they are not decent, then help them be decent.

There isn't much new under the sun.

What these people did had happened many times during the Huai Kingdom period.As Wang Luo sent people to inspect the granary, a fire dragon appeared again and burned the granary.

News suddenly came from Zibo Granary: Thunder roared at night, fire dragons descended on the world, stretching for miles, and all the people and horses were charred.The fire soared into the sky and lasted for three days, melting the iron and stone.

When the news reached Luoyang, the entire grain farm was burned down, and more than 100 people, from the grain farm commander to the subordinate officials, were all reduced to coke.

When he saw this report, Wang Luo suddenly overturned the table and his face was as cold as ice.

"The fire dragon burns the warehouse! Don't I know if there is a fire dragon? What a courageous dog!
The granary was burned down, and all the grain farm officials and officials were dead. It was a great job to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces. "Wang Luo's face was gloomy, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"These ministers and nobles are receiving salaries from the court, but they are doing things that endanger the court and the country. If they are not punished, will there be anyone who will serve the court and the country in the future?"

"Does anyone think that destroying everything can cover up everything?"

"It seems that I am too kind!"

"The order requires all the noble families in Linzi to report. Those who report will be exempted from punishment, and those with great merit will be rewarded. If no one reports, all the families in Linzi will be punished according to the law!"

Wang Luo issued an edict and mobilized his army.

After many ministers saw that Wang Luo wanted to punish all the officials and nobles in Linzi indiscriminately, they quickly wrote letters to remonstrate.

As a result, Wang Luo was summoned to the palace and scolded him severely.

"The Linzi granary has a reserve of 30 stones. As the powerful nobles of Linzi City, don't they know anything about it?"

"They knew it, but they either took the benefits, participated in it, or ignored it! They enjoyed the wealth and land given by the imperial court, and this is how they repay the imperial court?"

Those ministers were scolded by Wang Luo and did not dare to say anything more.These people are shameless, so don't blame Wang Luo for being ruthless.

Give them decency. If they don't want decency, then give them decency.

Many nobles in Linzi were also panicked at this time. The emperor's posture did not look like he was joking. The army had already entered Linzi City, and all the nobles and ministers were silent.

Some nobles and ministers who had not been involved in the granary affairs were completely anxious at this time.

They have not benefited from these things and have no fault, but they have to be punished for it. How can these people be willing?

It didn't take a few days for a large number of reports to be sent to Wang Luo. In addition to these matters, these ministers and nobles were fighting each other and involving more things.

Wang Luo demoted all the aristocratic families who dared to participate in the fire dragon's burning of the warehouse to common people. At the same time, he directly killed the direct descendants of the family heads. The remaining people were sent to Lingnan, Longxi and other places to enrich the local population.

After successively dealing with a large number of officials and nobles, the entire court was cleansed, and the officials were all uneasy.

Wang Luo knew very well about this situation that the nobles and ministers were corrupting very quickly. He had to give these people enough warning, but he could not knock them all down.

Even after hundreds of years of training in the Huaiguo Academy, the knowledge of this era is still passed down in most noble families, and there are very few people who are truly from the lower classes.

If Wang Luo really defeats all these officials and nobles, who will work for him then?Thinking of this, Wang Luo could only suppress his breath and made up his mind to vigorously cultivate the children of the common people, hoping to replace them with these people.

After teaching these people a lesson, Wang Luo gave them a chance. As long as they admitted their mistakes and returned double the amount of food they had received from Tan Mo, Wang Luo would no longer hold them accountable.After getting the news, many nobles and noble families soon came to repent.Wang Luo did not go back on his word and spared them their guilt.

After seeing this, the nobles and nobles breathed a sigh of relief.Wang Luo's actions let them know what the bottom line was that could not be touched.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is here. It's time to appoint the Crown Princess." In the Shangyang Palace, Prime Minister Sun Qian said respectfully.

Wang Luo nodded slightly, it was indeed time to appoint him as a crown princess.Wang Luo's mind was racing. He was thinking not only about the appointment of a crown princess, but also about his life span.

Wang Luo already had a vague sense of how long he could live.Back then, he lost some life span due to the use of the Divine Artifact of Destiny, but the use of the Divine Artifact of Destiny also gave him some magical powers and gave him some sense.

Originally, he wanted to try his best to complete everything in his hands, but now it seems that he can't do it.

At the same time, he must let the prince have enough prestige to continue to subdue the nobles.

Wang Yun came to Xu Chao's house. Although the general's house has been very low-key these years, it seems to have withdrawn from the center of power. If you really think so, you are a fool.

Xu Chao just kept a low profile. He was a smart man. He made such great achievements back then that he could break the earth and become a king. However, he didn't even mention it and acted very respectful.

The Xu family is a top wealthy family in Daqian and is also a royal family, but this does not mean that the Xu family can sit back and relax. The next generation of the Xu family is also an outstanding person.

In fact, the next generation of the Xu family cannot compare with them.The Xu family's current status is all due to Xu Chao.When Xu Chao dies, his family will have no heirs, and the Xu family will immediately decline.

From the top noble to an ordinary noble.

These things do not only occur in the Xu family, but also occur in other families to a greater or lesser extent.These families then began to marry each other.

Through this kind of marriage as a link, intricate offensive and defensive alliances were formed. In the court, these people were prestigious and occupied a large number of positions.

Through this kind of marriage help, after you become prosperous, we will not forget ourselves. When your family becomes lonely, we will support you again.

This method was used by the nobles during the Zhou Dynasty, and they even came up with a set of issues called bloodline theory.Now the meritorious families are using the same method.

Wang Luo was naturally very dissatisfied with this situation, but he could not order these people not to marry each other.

If you want to solve this problem, you can only let the prince come forward and marry off the direct women of these families. This will not only get help, but also block the connection between these families.

At the same time, it can also separate the families of meritorious officials who have become monolithic.Wang Luo didn't believe that these people could resist this temptation.

Wang Yun said: "General, doesn't Your Majesty know what you are thinking?"

"You are hurting His Majesty's feelings by doing this. Now that the Crown Prince has reached the marriageable age, Your Majesty wants to choose a woman with both political integrity and talent to be the Queen for the Crown Prince."

"Your Majesty gives you the opportunity to let your legitimate daughter come to participate. Isn't this your Majesty's kindness?"

"Don't blame me, Prime Minister. I'm just a minister in the same palace. It's hard for me to refuse. Now your Majesty wants to choose a concubine for the prince. I will reject them right now." The general said immediately.

Who else can maintain wealth better than the emperor's father-in-law?If he dies, the Xu family will not be greatly affected.
