The ending of the thirteen families in Shangzhou was quickly passed out like the wind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shangluo Zhang's family, the head of the family was beheaded, the male was confiscated into the army, the female was confiscated, and all the family property was confiscated into the official. A centuries-old local clan was uprooted. The other twelve families were only slightly better, the parents were beheaded, although the rest of the family was not investigated, but the twelve families also handed over half of the family's wealth and land, and the family grain was only kept for one year's rations, and the rest were all officials.

Li Chao gave everyone a dismount with the power of thunder.

A real example of the killer.

The heads of the thirteen big clans were all hung on the Shangluo Wharf that day, with a high wooden pole and a cage on it, which contained thirteen Haoqiang who were still stomping their feet in Shangluo yesterday, which could make Danjiang tremble. At this moment, they were just thirteen heads that had been fried and looked blurred.

The Zhang family is completely finished, and the remaining twelve families will inevitably be depressed after this.

In Shangluo City, Shangzhou, on the streets, alleys, and docks, countless people are talking about this matter.

"I can't see that Li Xiangguo, who has been smiling, still has such a ruthless side."

"Of course, if it's not ruthless, how can you shock Tuyuhun and the Turks?"

"In fact, Li Xiangguo can't be blamed for this matter, Li Xiangguo gave them a chance, again and again, but they just died by themselves. Do they still think that they are five surnames and seven families? Usually majestic, it is just in Upper Los Angeles, in Shangzhou. And who is Lee Sang? The prime minister of the imperial court, the emperor's first favorite minister, and the prince's teacher. Now he is the Xuanfu envoy of Shannan Dongdao, the observation envoy and the metropolitan governor, the Hanjing construction envoy, and the history of Xiangdeng and Dengzhou, which can be said to be the power of Shannan and Dongdong, and the Zhang family still dares to confront Li Xiangguo, which is really stupid. ”

Some people ridiculed and even schadenfreude.

Others secretly rejoiced that they had made up for the lack of food later. If they were like the Zhang family at the beginning, if they hesitated a little, it is estimated that their heads would be hung on the dock today.

"But it's really ruthless, there are thousands of people in the Zhang family, and there are more than 300 men, all of whom are distributed to Shuo Fang." Someone sighed.

Until now, everyone is still shocked by Li Chao's thunderous methods, and the other twelve families are better, only one family owner was killed and the wealth was ruined, but at least the family is still there, and there will be a chance to recover in the future. Such as the Zhang family is miserable, they don't give a chance at all, and they are completely destroyed.

There is no chance at all.

A big family for hundreds of years.

"I heard that tens of thousands of stones were copied from Zhang's house to store grain, countless gold, silver and copper coins, and 10,000 acres of land!"

"That's for sure, after all, the Zhang family is a big family for hundreds of years."

"So what, now that people are dead and the people are exterminated, these grains, gold and silver, fields, shops, houses, and docks have all become the court's. Is it worth it? ”

"Looking back, it's really not worth it to lose the entire family for a little bit of food."

"Yes, the court didn't say that it would take all the grain away, but it only asked for half of it, and it still left a quota, and the excess was only half of it, and it was given money and bought."

"Yes, how much grain can be more valuable than a family? Food, no matter how valuable it is, is limited, and talent is the most valuable. ”

Everywhere, everyone was talking about it, and even began to change the direction of the wind.

Before, I thought that the grain was mine, so I was reluctant to sell it to the imperial court, and the disaster year was about to come, and the grain would be more valuable, but now the market price is given to the imperial court, and I am losing money.

But there are lessons learned from the past of the thirteen Shangluo families, and now everyone is talking, and they are talking more about the imperial court asking for food, so let's give food, anyway, no matter how expensive the food is, it is not as valuable as the family.

After all, the imperial court did not say that it would take away all the food, and it still left enough rations for everyone, and even if it was exceeded, half of it could still be kept.

Many big families are strong, in fact, they were called loud before, but they are just some bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. They thought that the imperial court would not really come to be ruthless, but now that Li Chao is really ruthless, they will immediately coax and immediately soften.

Just like that Zhang Xuan, after being sentenced, he kept begging for mercy, but what was the use.

Shangzhou, Dengzhou, Xiangzhou, Tangzhou, Suizhou, Fuzhou, Jingzhou, Yingzhou, Xiazhou, Guizhou, Fangzhou, Junzhou, Kuizhou, Zhongzhou, Wanzhou, Jinzhou.....

In the eastern states of Shannan, a strong wind blew.

The big landlords and businessmen in various places are much more honest. The government had already issued a notice to buy and buy before, but few families took the initiative to pay for grain, and even if they did, it was just a symbolic delivery of a few truckloads of grain.

And now, after the situation in Shangzhou came, those landlords and wealthy businessmen couldn't sit still.

No one wants to be the next Shangluo Thirteen, let alone Zhang Xuan.

Families began to pack grain overnight, and grain trucks drove towards the official warehouse.

In addition to being happy, the local governments also hurriedly sent people to Li Chao to send him Jiejie.

10,000 stones...

50,000 stone .....

100,000 stones....

Million Stone .....

In the sixteen prefectures of Shannan East Province, the grain stocks in the official warehouses in various places are constantly increasing, and in a short period of time, millions of stone grain have been added.

This is only the storage that has already been put into storage, and the news from all over the country is that because there are too many people who suddenly came to deliver the grain, there are long queues outside the official warehouses in various places, and it is impossible to quickly enter the warehouse for a while.

Millions of stones of new grain into storage are actually only a part.

After all, last year's harvest was okay, and this summer's harvest was generally bumper, and the landlords still had a lot of grain in their hands. It's just that they were all hoarded at home before, but this time Li Chao took out a ruthless move, and they came out honestly to hand over the grain.

Millions of stone grain, this is a lot of food. If it is processed into relief food, two stones of grain can be combined with various other materials to produce a year's worth of food for an adult.

One million stone of grain, if there are enough ingredients, the processed grain can guarantee the food ration of 500,000 people in a year in a disaster year. Although this amount is a bit low, it is barely feasible to hang one's life in a disaster year.

500,000 people.

According to Li Chao's prediction, the catastrophe in the Ming Dynasty may spread throughout the Central Plains and Guanzhong regions, as well as Shannan and Huainan regions, and the population involved will definitely exceed 10 million.

The population of Datang is only 15 million now, but Li Chao estimates that the real population must be 30 million.

The Central Plains region, together with Guanzhong, Shannan and Huainan, is the most elite area in the world, with the largest population density, with a population of about 10 million.

With a population of 10 million, the normal food demand is very large, and more than 50 million stone grains are needed.

But if you consider that in a disaster year, just to survive, you can keep this number very low.

However, the total number required will still be large.

The most terrible thing is actually the grain in many places, most of which are concentrated in the hands of those big households, and in the real disaster year, many big households are hoarding more and more grain, and it is impossible to release it. So on the one hand, a large number of ordinary people starved to death, and on the other hand, the big clans hoarded a large amount of food but refused to take it out, which made the food gap even greater.

Now Li Chao wants to take out as much food as possible from the hands of large households, receive it in the hands of the government, and dispatch it in a unified manner, so that these grains can become living food, not zombie food and dead food.

"A million stones!"

"Oh my God, there are so many."

"Didn't you hear that this is only a part, if all the required amount is collected, it is estimated that it can increase a lot."

"Damn, these guys have a lot of food in their hands."

"Aren't you talking nonsense, at least half of the grain in the world is in the hands of these local tyrants and landlords, and the food in the homes of ordinary people is not reluctant to feed themselves, so how can there be any grain storage. The amount of grain collected by the imperial court every year is actually limited. A large amount of grain is still in the hands of those grain merchants and landlords, and it is in their granaries. ”

"One Shannan Dongdao has increased millions of stone grain, and with these millions of stone grain, the government has a lot of confidence."

Li Chao also smiled and nodded.

Millions of stone grain are in the hands of those landlords and grain merchants, and those are two completely different concepts from those of the government. One may be that when the disaster breaks out, it may not be able to take out zombie food that does not work, and the other is life-saving food that can be uniformly deployed and can give full play to its role, of course, it is different.

"Teacher, since these people have so much food in their hands, why don't we buy the rest of their food, we also left them a ration quota!" Cheng Qian asked Li Chao.

"Prince, you can't do things straight, and you can't beat people to death with a stick. Gotta come little by little, take your time. If we open our mouths directly, we will take away all the grain from the big households, and the situation will definitely be different. We have only collected half of the excess, and they are reluctant, and they still have to make an example of the chickens and monkeys to get them to come up with food. Gotta leave room for it! ”

"But if we don't have enough food, can we just watch them hoard it?"

"Of course not, but it's still the same sentence, you have to take it step by step."

"We're buying half of their grain now, and we're going to put it in the storehouse first. After a while, when the drought gets worse, we can have a reason to ask them to buy half of their food. When the food is harvested, look for an opportunity, and we can do it again. In short, every time we take half and leave half for them, there is always room for it. ”

Charging half at a time sounds like a lot of money for big people, but it's actually a numbers game.

For example, the landlord has a hundred stone of grain, and half of the first time is fifty. And if it is the second time, then the landlords will only have twenty-five stones left, and if they come again, the landlords will only have twelve and a half stones, and if they come again, they will only have six and a half stones.

As long as they come to collect half of the money three or four times, no matter how much grain the landlord has, he will soon be gone.

Four times and a half, the actual grain stock shrank by fifteen times.

But because only half of the levy is levied each time and half is kept, it seems that the court has a very bottom line and gives leeway.

"Won't they settle the score?"

"Of course you can count it, but if you ask for more than ninety percent of their grain four times and take away more than ninety percent of their food, this is completely different from asking them for ninety percent of their food as soon as you come up. Prince, do things for the same purpose, but there can be different means, we must pay attention to the ways and means! (To be continued.) )
