My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 92 90. Not even half of the richest families in the first class are extremely rich.
There was a glimmer of light in the sky.

Then the dawn bloomed.

The dark night is over and dawn is dawning.

Countless people spent the night in fear and struggle. When dawn came, they couldn't believe that they and others were not harmed!
This is really incredible!
Zhao Xuanqi slowly appeared.

There was a smile on his face.

"It's dawn, it's time for me to come out and wash the floor."

"I'm sorry. Although I defeated the rebel army and successfully killed General Chongtian, there are hundreds of thousands of rebel soldiers and I can't kill them all."

"Last night, many rebel armies were defeated. Who would have thought that they would take advantage of the chaos and kill so many nobles and nobles to vent their anger?"

"After all, it was these big clans who said they would surrender, and they were also the big clans who opened the city gate. However, the rebel army was defeated and was ambushed. Is it normal for them to vent their anger and kill so many big clans?"

"I have so few manpower that I can't catch all the rebels at once, so that's normal!"

"It wasn't until dawn that I organized my manpower and drove all the rebels out of the capital. I worked hard, and I was exhausted. The soldiers in my hands almost died of exhaustion. We are the heroes. Great hero!"

"Well, Chang'an City has been saved. I have defeated more than half of the hundreds of thousands of troops. The rebel army is no longer a threat. Except for the death of some high officials and nobles, Chang'an City has not been damaged in any way, and the people have not been harmed. This is something that everyone is happy about. Ah, Emperor Jingming should give me a reward, right? How can you blame me!"

Zhao Xuanqi slowly stretched and sat up from the bed.

He was still wearing the armor from last night.

Slowly walking out of the room, facing the first ray of sunshine at dawn, he found the army generals and began to order to clean up the mess.

Calculate the losses in this war, how many soldiers your side lost, and the number of disabled people.

Well, by the way, I also need to tidy up the treasures of these wealthy families and collect them all.

After all, they had all been exterminated, and the remaining gold, silver, and jewelry were left there for no one to use. They were ownerless things and would be snatched away by other residents sooner or later.

Rather than being snatched away by others, it would be better for the court to use it itself.

The first time, Zhao Xuanqi naturally sent someone to collect these trophies, oh no, these victims' relics.

Then another army was sent to leave Chang'an City and occupy the camp of the Prodigal Army outside the city. There was a lot of food and supplies inside.

Even Zhao Xuanqi couldn't imagine how rich these supplies were, enough for 50 troops to camp here for several months!

As long as these supplies are under control, it can be said that the court will not have to worry about running out of resources in the next few years!
Just leave matters outside the city to the trusted generals. Let them find a way to move all the supplies of the Wandering Army into the city warehouse, and finally make a list and give it to yourself!
Matters in the city must be left to the general himself.

I like to deal with the affairs of these aristocratic families the most.

During his more than ten years as a local official, Zhao Xuanqi had no interest in these aristocratic families at all, and could even be said to be filled with hatred.

If he hadn't been squeezed out, how would he have needed to be a local official based on his reputation as the number one scholar?If Emperor Jingming hadn't been paying attention to the protection, he might have died long ago without a burial place!
It's just that Zhao Xuanqi has never been able to find an opportunity. Now that he has successfully found an opportunity to kill someone, he naturally has to take care of their property himself!

"Come with me!"

Zhao Xuanqi took his manpower to the wealthy families and personally collected supplies from door to door.

First, people were sent to pull down the corpses of these wealthy families, and finally they were piled together with other corpses and burned uniformly to prevent plague infection in the city.

Then search for treasure inside their homes.

The first family is a large family named Zhu family.

This person is said to be a third-rank official in the imperial court, specializing in textile treasury and other aspects.

The home doesn't look very big, and there aren't any luxurious and beautiful items on display. It's simple, and he looks like an upright official.

Zhao Xuanqi sneered.

"Turn it over for me. Even if I dig three layers of soil, I still want to see whether he is a corrupt official or an honest official!"

Along with this command.

The soldiers succeeded in turning the Zhu family upside down.

Finally, we successfully found several huge warehouses in the underground treasury. When we opened them, we found countless pieces of cloth piled inside!

All are precious brocade cloth, Shu cloth, etc.

All kinds of luxurious cloths were piled up. Some of them had even begun to rot with insects due to their age, and were covered with dust.

In this era, cloth can be used as money. Many poor families cannot even wear clothes, not even linen clothes!

It is unimaginable that this official has so much cloth in his home and would rather rot and pile it up in the service store to gather ashes, while other ordinary people do not even have clothes to wear...

However, compared to the next family, the Zhu family is nothing but a dwarf.

In the next few houses, Zhao Xuanqi witnessed the greed of these wealthy families.

There was a family who dug up the ground in their yard and dug out a lot of white silver buried deep in the deep soil, too many to count.

There was as much silver as there was sand on the ground, and it looked white and dazzling.

Zhao Xuanqi thought this was the limit of this family.

As a result, under the guidance of the surviving housekeeper of the family, he led Zhao Xuanqi and others to the fields outside the city, and successfully dug out more silver and copper coins within acres of wasteland.There were so many that the soldiers couldn't move them!
Zhao Xuanqi even had to send carriages, one carriage after another, into the city. It took several carriages to transport all the money back!

More wealthy families like antique calligraphy and painting, and they have all kinds of valuable antique calligraphy and painting. Antiques that are usually hard to find are placed everywhere in their homes, just like ordinary tea sets, not considered rare items.

If you find an ordinary tea set in a wealthy family's home, it's like finding a needle in a haystack!
The acres of land under their names are not counted as tens or hundreds of acres, nor are they counted as tens of thousands of acres, but hundreds of thousands of acres.

What's more, the land owned by a top family is actually more than the land owned by all the ordinary people in a county combined!

Many ordinary people have no land and can only hoe and farm on their land. They become slaves and can be killed and killed at will. They have no right to freedom, let alone personal rights!
There are countless restaurants, casinos, and house and land deeds under his name, all piled up like waste paper!
Zhao Xuanqi has lived for so long and been an official for so long. This is the first time that he has seen so much wealth!
This is beyond description.

There were so many that his hair stood on end.

There were so many that he felt dizzy.

If so much property is given to the people, how many people can be raised?
The taxes paid by the entire imperial court for several years were less than one-tenth of their property and less than one percent of their family wealth.

This is truly plundering the world's wealth to support one's own family!
Almost crazy.

Zhao Xuanqi was filled with emotion and held his hands while his heart was beating wildly. He thought there was always a limit to greed, but looking at it now, there is no limit to greed!
With such behavior, how can the world be kept from chaos?How could trouble not occur?I'm afraid countless people have lost their families and their families!

These properties are property of flesh and blood. They are all wealth accumulated from the flesh and blood of countless people.

Zhao Xuanqi had mixed feelings in his heart and murmured to himself: "They deserved to end up like this!"

For most of the next day, he took many people with superb algorithms to calculate this account.

After half a day of summary.

He sorted out the number of casualties in this war clearly. Afterwards, those who should receive pensions would receive pensions, and those who should receive meritorious service would definitely not be left behind. Rewards and punishments were orderly.

At the same time, the military camp property of the Wandering Army was also clearly counted, all put into the warehouse and piled up into mountains, and all the data was organized into volumes.

Including the properties and various assets left behind by these aristocratic families, all are accounted for.

Finally, it was all written down in the book and prepared to be handed over to Emperor Jingming.

Turn in [-]%.

The remaining [-]% disappeared inexplicably.

No, it’s not that they disappeared inexplicably, but when the rebel army retreated, they all plundered them!

Only handing over [-]% of the property is already a very conscientious act!

Even the wealth contained in this [-]% is definitely enough to make the emperor frightened, and he will definitely shout that it is too much!
Zhao Xuanqi kept the remaining [-]% for him, and it would cost a large sum of money to reward the soldiers.

After all, there is so much material and wealth. If you want the soldiers to keep it secret, you must satisfy their appetite.

Even if these soldiers are Zhao Xuanqi's cronies, it's hard to say what will happen if they don't have money to satisfy them.

A penny beats a hero!
In addition, no matter what Zhao Xuanqi wants to do next, whether it is used to rescue the victims, or used to develop national industries, or used to do other things, such as developing gunpowder and explosives, there are so many resources. Money can be put to great use!

After counting all this, Zhao Xuanqi looked exhausted, but he couldn't help showing a happy expression on his face. He slowly took out a piece of paper and made a list on it.

These lists are all the wealthy and distinguished families who were accidentally wiped out when the rebel army retreated!
He slowly wrote the name.

Densely packed names filled the entire page.

Each name represents the dead family, the family that was exterminated, and the descendants of the prince.

At the end, the entire paper could not even be finished, so Zhao Xuanqi took out other papers and filled up the two lists again.

There are countless wealthy and distinguished families in Chang'an City, and the number of high-ranking officials is countless. However, from this list, you can find that almost [-]% of the wealthy families have encountered disaster!

To describe it in one sentence:
The imperial court's civil and military officials will definitely be reduced by more than half after today, and even two-thirds of them are considered good!

The damage to the wealthy and distinguished families in the capital can be described in one sentence: Not even half of the most powerful families in the capital!
The so-called natural nobles were reduced to dust in this disaster.

Not even half of the previous quantity is enough!
The remaining aristocratic families do not mean they are good aristocratic families, it is simply because of lack of time. Dawn came, and dawn saved their lives.

Fortunately, their crimes were not that serious. Zhao Xuanqi could tolerate these guys escaping with their lives. At worst, he would deal with them later.

Now we still need these people to help organize the government affairs. It is impossible for there to be no one left in the court!

He looked at the densely written list.

"The aristocratic families will basically not have any impact on the Northern Wei Kingdom in the future, because they have been physically transcended."

"General Chongtian, you did all this. You really deserve to die."

"It's none of my business. I don't know anything. All I can do is mourn for the wealthy people on the list."

As he spoke, Zhao Xuanqi tried his best to express a sad expression, but the smile at the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.

However, when he thought of the Ziyun Army who died in this war, these were all fellow villagers, his face fell, and his whole person was in a gloomy mood.

With this emotion, he tidied up and went to the palace with his men to meet Emperor Jingming.
