The king behind the empress

Chapter 290
Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Shi Zhipei felt helpless in his heart. He thought that Mo Zizai was acting out of anger, so he couldn't help persuading him, "My lord, this matter is really unnecessary."

"These aristocratic families are not worthy of your calculations, but if they have a righteous name, there will be a lot less trouble in the future."

Shi Zhipei persuaded earnestly: "If you attack Yuan Lianghan and the other big families for no reason, these small families in Nanjun will definitely feel panicked. At that time, I'm afraid they will give the new officials , causing a lot of unnecessary trouble.”

"Don't worry about those little families."

Mo Zizai said lightly, "I didn't intend to let them go. When it's settled, the four major families will deal with them immediately."

"???"

Shi Zhipei looked at Mo Zizai in shock, his eyes full of puzzlement, he originally thought that Mo Zizai was planning to copy those big families, and then win over those small families, promising them to bring them under his command with huge profits , and then quell the riots in Nanjun.

Unexpectedly, Mo Zizai actually said that he would kill the small family together. Are you going to heaven?
These big families in Nanjun are not only full of people, but also in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation in Nanjun. If they disappear, all walks of life will be affected, and the whole Nanjun will be in chaos.

In Shi Zhipei's vision, with himself and the new officials, if he can win over those small families who are usually unsuccessful but have some influence, and replace those big families with them, then it will be possible. Minimize the impact of destroying those big families.

But now he found that he had thought wrong from the beginning!
"My lord, are you serious?"

Shi Zhipei stared at Mo Zizai for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "Have you thought about the consequences of solving the big families with those small families together?"

"Of course I did."

Mo Zizai knew that Shi Zhipei cared about the common people and was a little anxious, so he didn't care about his tone, and said lightly: "The consequence of doing this is nothing more than the decline of all businesses in Nanjun and the chaos of people's livelihood. A large number of people will choose to flee to Nanjun."

"My lord, since you know, why do you still do this?"

Shi Zhipei's tone was full of indescribable indignation. In his opinion, Mo Zizai didn't care about the people of Nanjun at all. He just put the people of Nanjun in the fire and water just out of anger. This move was really too much up.

"Master Shi, don't worry."

Mo Zizai waved his hand, signaling to Shi Zhipei to be calm, and when Shi Zhipei calmed down a bit, he explained, "This king would not do this normally, after all, if Nanjun loses a large number of people , That's really not a good thing for Nanjun."

"But it's different now, these are extraordinary times."

Speaking of this, Mo Zizai paused, and said slowly: "Master Shi, where do you think the people of Nanjun can escape to?"

"This……"

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Shi Zhipei seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help being startled.

Nanjun is currently affected by the disaster, and all the people who can't survive have already gone all the way to rich places to escape the famine, and the remaining people are basically people who can survive this catastrophe. In other words, these people Most are wealthy people.

And people like them, as long as there is a way to survive for them, they will definitely not leave Nanjun to flee like those people who can't survive.

Shi Zhipei was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Mo Zizai, "My lord, they might not flee from Nanjun under such circumstances, but have you ever imagined that once all businesses withered and people's livelihood fell into chaos, the whole Nanjun would be destroyed?" How many people died in vain?"

"My lord, those small families can be dealt with at any time, but those people are so innocent."

Shi Zhipei gave a deep salute, and said in a low tone: "I hope the prince can think twice about this matter!"

"Master Shi, there is no need to worry too much."

Mo Zizai stretched out his hand to support Shi Zhipei, and said, "Since this king has chosen to do this, he will naturally have a countermeasure."

"After those aristocratic families and small families are resolved, I will send all the Habayashi Army to exercise military control over the entire South County."

"The sale of daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. will be completely prohibited, and daily supplies will be provided on a per-person basis, and those who have evil intentions will be killed by the Habayashi Army immediately. , to minimize the impact."

"Such military control will continue until the people's livelihood in Nanjun is restored. How does Lord Shi feel?"

"Will the entire South County be under military control?"

Shi Zhipei was frightened by Mo Zizai's thoughts. Military control is not uncommon. When some cities are under siege, they often choose to implement military control strategies in the city to prevent turmoil inside the city.

But this method hurts the economy too much. Under the state of military control, not only the business of the entire city will be banned, but even the normal work of many people will come to a standstill. If a city is fine, the entire county is under military control. too crazy.

"It's doable!"

While Shi Zhipei was still thinking about Mo Zizai's plan, Yang Yanzhang beside him suddenly said, "If you don't break it, you can't build it, if you break it, you can build it."

"Nanjun is already like this now, and even military control won't have a worse impact. If we can take this opportunity to get rid of those aristocratic families and rich families who are lying on the people and sucking blood, after this disaster, Nanjun will soon It will fall into a period of prosperity!"

"There's just one problem with doing that."

Yang Yanzhang frowned and said: "The current strength of the Habayashi Army is less than [-]. Even including my Yuzhi Army and Qi Xiu's monk and Taoist soldiers, it is only in the early [-]s. People who want to be in charge of the army, It might be a bit incompetent.”

"Aren't there still county soldiers and those surrendered soldiers?"

Mo Zizai said indifferently: "Those surrendered troops plus the Nanjun County soldiers, there are almost 1 people, and the iron guards who surrendered are second only to the Yuzhi Army in strength. With them, the strength is almost the same. "

"Surrender?"

Yang Yanzhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly stopped and said: "My lord, if the iron guards have just surrendered, if they are released, even if they don't rebel, they will definitely run away. There is nothing to do about it."

"It's okay."

Mo Zizai shook his head indifferently, and said in a cold tone, "I have a way to control them."

Hearing Mo Zizai's tone, Yang Yanzhang suddenly thought of something that would speed up his cultivation, and he subconsciously asked, "Is that something?"

"Ah."

Mo Zizai didn't hide it either. He had discussed this matter with Wei Huang, and felt that with the control of the man in the dark, after the defeat of Tiewei, he must have noticed Mo Zizai's ability. It's hidden, and it's just right to release part of it and use it on those surrendered soldiers.

It's just that the part that is released must be different from the one used by the soldiers under his command. First, the acceleration factor cannot be the same as that of the Yuzhi Army.

Let those surrendered soldiers know that although they can speed up their cultivation, their lives are in the hands of Mo Zizai. As long as they dare to escape or rebel, Mo Zizai will instantly abolish them, or even let them die directly.
