The king behind the empress

Chapter 289 Who dares to disapprove
Under the leadership of several big families like Yuan Lianghan, the remaining small families had no room to resist at all, and were forced to "donate" a lot of silver, not to mention, they were also responsible for a lot of manpower and materials.

It didn't take long for the news to reach Mo Zi here, and Mo Zi couldn't help showing a disdainful smile after hearing it.

His own knife was almost on their necks, and they dared to play the trick of [-]% to [-]%. They were really courageous.

Although I said that I was seven to three of them, who gave them the confidence to make them feel that they could be equal to themselves, and the most important thing was that the [-]% did not include the money of the four major families.

That is to say, I asked Yuan Lianghan to come forward to raise donations, but in the end, they didn't pay a penny and let it go, but they also took the opportunity to make a fortune. They are so fucking business-minded.

Mo Zizai felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he turned his head to look at Yang Yanzhang and asked, "Have the officials from the capital arrived yet?"

"It has already reached part of it one after another."

Yang Yanzhang heard the impatience in Mo Zizai's tone, shook his head and said, "However, because many of them are not in the capital, and the distances vary, it will take some time to get all of them in place."

"Part of it?"

Mo Zizai frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied, but now the steam train has not been produced for a long time, and it is still very inconvenient to get some of them here. It is the result of those people rushing to take office. Otherwise, according to the normal speed, even No one can come here.

"Forget it, just part of it."

Mo Zizai pondered for a moment, then said, "Don't wait any longer, just do it directly."

"Start with the four major families. All the immediate families will be dealt with, and the collateral families will confiscate their property and fields. Those with meritorious reputations will be abolished and demoted to common people."

"After they are dealt with, let the Yuzhi army work hard to keep an eye on the various places. Anyone who has changed, regardless of their identity, will be killed."

Mo Zizai had a murderous look in his tone. He didn't pay attention to these aristocratic families in Nanjun. If he wasn't worried that Nanjun would be left unattended after the killing, he would have crushed them to death long ago.

Now that he heard that they were still playing tricks, Mo Zizai didn't want to tolerate them anymore. In addition, some officials were already in place, so he didn't have to worry about no one to do things, so he simply did it directly.

Seeing Mo Zizai, who was so murderous, Shi Zhipei's lips twitched a few times, he always felt that this kind of punishment without teaching was more than violence, and the faint king would never do that.

He wanted to say something to persuade Mo Zizai, but looking at Mo Zizai's attitude, it was obvious that he couldn't listen to anything, so he could only sigh from the bottom of his heart, but he still didn't speak in the end.

Yang Yanzhang also felt that this was not the best time to do something, but Mo Zizai insisted on going his own way, and he couldn't refute, so he nodded and said, "Yes, my lord."

"Yuzhisi, I will divide Yuzhisi into four teams and be on standby at any time to ensure that there will be no disturbances in the counties of Nanjun."

"Well, good." Hearing Yang Yanzhang's assurance, Mo Zizai nodded, and then continued: "After these aristocratic families are put to death, Nanjun will start disaster relief again."

Speaking of this, Mo Zizai looked at Shi Zhipei and said, "Master Shi, I may trouble you about this matter."

"For the time being, you can only serve as the sheriff of South County. These new officials don't have much experience. They may need your guidance bit by bit. Then you will work harder."

"It's all right, my lord."

Seeing that Mo Zizai was so polite, Shi Zhipei couldn't help bowing his hands, as long as the people in Nanjun could be relieved of the disaster as soon as possible, no matter how hard he worked, he would not be afraid.

Moreover, he is basically satisfied with Mo Zizai's arrangement. Although those new officials have little experience, they don't have the bureaucratic atmosphere of the officialdom, and they don't have the habit of corruption. Such people may not be able to do things. Very old-fashioned, but he will definitely be very serious and able to endure hardships.

As for disaster relief, as long as the officials are not corrupt and willing to suffer, there is basically no difficulty.

In addition, these officials were also born in Juren at the last time, and some of them would not be fools, so they could just call them casually, and he didn't need to bother too much at all, it was perfect.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhipei laughed, and said, "Those new officials, no matter how inexperienced, are much better than those old officials."

"At least they won't hold you back, and they don't dare to be greedy for disaster relief money. With these two points, that's enough."

Hearing what Shi Zhipei said, Mo Zizai couldn't help shaking his head helplessly. It's really hard to eradicate corruption in the officialdom. Relatively speaking, novice officials are better off. It's hard to say what will happen after a long time in the future.

But as long as they are not corrupt now, that's fine. As for the future, it's a big deal to set up a discipline inspection or anti-corruption bureau to keep an eye on these officials.

Mo Zizai withdrew his thoughts, followed his previous plan, and continued to say: "In addition to disaster relief, there is one more thing that Mr. Shi needs to be responsible for."

"My lord, it doesn't matter."

Mo Zizai has always been very approachable to the people he approves of, which makes Shi Zhipei very satisfied, but this refusal to listen to persuasion makes Shi Zhipei very helpless, and at the same time, he is also a little puzzled. Didn’t Mo Zizai say that he was very uninitiated before? ?Why are you so overbearing now?
Mo Zizai didn't know what Shi Zhipei was thinking. After pondering for a moment, he said, "The arable land of these big families in Nanjun accounts for almost one-fifth of all arable land in Nanjun, and this is just the field on the surface. , I don’t know how many hidden fields there are in the dark.”

"So when these aristocratic families are settled, I hope Lord Shi can send people to check the land and redistribute the land."

"With these fertile fields, I can't guarantee anything else, but it is definitely no problem to resettle all the refugees from the surrounding counties."

"So this matter is also the top priority. Lord Shi must pay attention to it and investigate it as soon as possible."

"Search the land?"

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Shi Zhipei's eyes couldn't help but move slightly. The land is the foundation of the Nanjun aristocratic family and the basis for their family to inherit. If their land is touched, they will definitely explode. If this is the case, is it okay? Using this investigation as bait to lure these families to take the initiative?
In this way, with the title of righteousness, it will be logical to kill them again.

Shi Zhipei pondered for a moment, felt that this matter was feasible, and after refining his thoughts in his mind, he said directly: "My lord, since you want to measure the land, can you adjust the order?"

"Adjust the order?" Mo Zizai didn't want to understand, and asked puzzledly, "Why?"

"Because those aristocratic families cherish the land as much as life, if they know that the prince wants to move their land, they will definitely obstruct or even resist."

Shi Zhipei said confidently: "In this way, if the lord does something to them, he can be regarded as a famous teacher, and no one can make a difference."

"Need not."

Shi Zhipei's perfect plan was vetoed by Mo Zizai as soon as he said it, "You need to find an excuse to kill them, and they deserve it?"

"This king will kill them directly, I want to see who dares to refuse!"
