A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 669 Various forms

The scene in Chang'an City is very lively. On one side, the people are happily buying food, but on the other side, the wealthy and noble families are looking gloomy.

Wang Xuanjing ordered someone to write a memorial about the entire incident, recording in detail all the things those people did during this period.

At the same time, these materials will be handed over to historians for recording, which will be recorded in history books.

When it comes to murdering people and killing people's hearts, Wang does it with ease. If they are written into history books, people like them will be infamy for thousands of years, and they will even be repeatedly mentioned and criticized by future generations.

Wang Xuanjing wanted to teach those powerful and noble families a lesson not to go against the imperial court.

In Changlefang, people are still in a state of dissipation and dissipation.

The musicians are still playing the pipa instrument, and the sound of silk and bamboo echoes among them.

After listening to the pipa music played by the musicians, one of the middle-aged men stood up, tidied his clothes, pressed a jade pendant in his hand on the table to pay for the drinks, and then said to the people around him: "Brothers, I will go first Take a step!”

After saying that, without waiting for anyone to answer, he came to the window, jumped up, and fell directly from the Changle Tower, which was more than one foot high.

Immediately afterwards, before it was over, people from upstairs jumped down from the Changle Tower like dumplings one after another, and smashed onto the stone slab.

In the end, these people have to hand over all the mortgaged acres, manors, workshops, etc.

Without land, how can thousands of people depend on them for farming? How can there be no manors to produce various items to support them and their tribes? How can you make money by producing various utensils without a workshop?

However, after handing over the land, manors, and workshops, are these aristocratic families still aristocratic families?

They will select some of the best children to be officials and some to handle various family affairs, while those with less talent will serve as low-level officials or join the army.

Having lost so many things at once, those in charge of the affairs of the aristocratic families must be held responsible.

In just a moment, all the original guests had jumped off the building.

The ground under Changle Tower was paved with large pieces of bluestone, which was polished very smooth. If he jumped and hit it, his brain would burst out, staining the ground red and white.

Most of the people who come forward to do these things are the best among the family's children. Over the course of thousands of years, these noble families have learned a lot.

Wang Xuanjing was not surprised when he received the news. He knew very well that those people were no longer able to pay back the money. The price of the grain they bought at ten or even twenty times the price had now shrunk by more than twenty times.

But this time they encountered a crisis.

After seeing all this, these family heads had no choice but to go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, overnight to find Li Shimin to intercede.

Without these, they would be just like ordinary people.

Coupled with the interest that needs to be repaid for borrowing money, it is estimated that even if the grain is sold, the interest will only be paid back in the end, forget about the principal.

After several generations, these families gradually grew stronger.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, in the imperial palace.

Li Shimin had just finished reading Wang Xuanjing's memorial and couldn't help shouting "Hello" three times.

Such a hearty victory directly defeated the Guanlong family and the Xungui clan. After a while, Li Shimin finally calmed down his excitement. The battle has been won, and the next step is to collect the fruits of victory.

Of course, Li Shimin did not intend to overthrow all the noble families, because this was impossible.

Once he does this, it is very likely that these people will be forced to rebel directly.

This is not impossible. Because now these people have their own tribes in their hands. Although there are not many people, there are thousands in total.

They also have enough food in their hands. If they really risk everything, they can quickly pull out an army of 100,000. Although the combat effectiveness of this kind of army is not high, its destructive power is undoubtedly huge for the restoration of production and recuperation.

Of course, this will only happen as a last resort. Normally there isn't.

After all, so many aristocratic families and noble families have gathered together, and their interests cannot be reconciled. Each has its own agenda. Even if you say you want to rebel, others will agree on the surface and then report you later, so as to seek forgiveness and preserve the family. .

It can even be said that there are not just one or two people who are prepared to do this, but even all wealthy families and noble families have this idea.

Meat eaters are despicable. Are they all stupid? No, it's because they are too smart, calculate too much, and always want the best, but in the end they end up falling apart.

The head of the Zhao family first contacted the heads of other aristocratic families and wanted to discuss a countermeasure to help the family tide over the difficulties.

Everyone was discussing in a manor, but after some discussions, there was no result, and finally they reached an agreement to advance and retreat together.

After these people went back, the head of the Zhao family immediately asked people to prepare a carriage, and then rushed to Luoyang overnight.

"Didn't the eldest brother say that we want to advance and retreat together with other families? Why did we rush to Luoyang without even talking about it?" Zhao Shu asked strangely on the carriage rushing to Luoyang.

"Still notifying you? I'm afraid those people have already rushed to Luoyang just like us!" Zhao Hui sneered, opened his eyes and said.

"What?" Zhao Shu's expression changed.

"Hehe, which one of the heads of the families is not an old fox? They are all smart people. They know other people's plans. If they really take the agreement they just made seriously, they will end up being tricked to death by joining forces!"

"Brother, we have so many nobles and powerful people. As long as we work together, the court will not dare to do anything to us. If we are forced too much, everyone will rebel together! Why bother to surrender?" Zhao Shu said dissatisfied.

Zhao Hui glanced at him and sighed in his heart. He had always wanted to train his third brother, but now it seems that his third brother is really not suitable for such intrigues.

Looking at Zhao Shu who was a little dissatisfied, Zhao Hui continued: "They now hope that everyone else will do as agreed, and then he can go and surrender to His Majesty alone, betraying everyone else in order to preserve his family."

"No matter it's them, even I think so too!"

"The last family that wanted to do this has long since disappeared."

"These people are all smart people. Since they are smart people, they naturally know how low the success rate of rebellion is, let alone a period when such a dynasty has just been established!"

"Besides, even if the rebellion succeeds in the end, there is only one family in the world. What will happen to the other families? Their status in the new dynasty is not much higher than it is now. Why do they take such a big risk?"

Zhao Shu was completely silent.
