Time passed slowly.

The mood of the heads of the various families in the side hall gradually became anxious because of the passage of time.

And the constant sound of silk and bamboo next door amplified their anxiety to some extent.

In the face of imperial power, who dares not to be afraid?

Even if the old god was there, Tian Guanghe Shidan, who looked like he was sitting firmly on Diaoyutai, couldn't help but be a little panicked, and his heart was uneasy.

Backers and backgrounds may be important.

However, in front of the imperial power, it is no different from the papier-mâché.

Under the will of the emperor, everything is meaningless!

The only thing that can make these people feel a little more at ease or talk about masturbation is probably that they shouldn't wave a butcher's knife at them today.

The reason is simple - if you want to kill, why summon them?

A small official is enough to destroy their homes!

It's just that no one dares to guarantee that what they think is true.

And, even if it were true, no one would dare to pat their chests and say that they could be forgiven like everyone else.

Historically, don't rulers like to kill chickens and monkeys?

Capital and wealth, in today's world, simply do not have any security.

They are like stepping stones for the aristocracy and the powerful, stepping on them when they need them, and they can be thrown aside at any time if they are not needed.

These days, three-legged toads may not be easy to find.

However, the landlords and businessmen who want to be dogs for the magnates are like carp crossing the river.

Back then, Guanzhong Haoqiang Du and Zhang's thought that their backers were Dou's relatives, so they thought about breaking their wrists with Chu Jun.

And then what?

They were thrown away like waste by the Dou family.

The two heads of the family were killed like dogs in Dongshi, and their bodies were dumped in mass graves and eaten by wild dogs.

What's more, now, the princes and magnates no longer need them as much as they did in the past.

Now, with the implementation of the New Deal of the Son of Heaven.

Those who have unauthorized power have become fragrant and sweet, and they have been co-opted by various powerful families.

Positions such as Qiangfu and Youfu at the grassroots level also fell into the hands of scholars born in the examination.

Their role in the powerful has been reduced from dog legs and black gloves to money bags.

When needed, look for them to fight the autumn breeze.

In such a situation, even Tian Guang and Shi Dan were nervous in their hearts.

As for the Bing clan, who had just been relocated to Guanzhong, it was because it was new.

Therefore, it is also the most anxious.

Bing was a great merchant in the Lu State and the largest iron merchant in the entire Qilu region.

Since the Warring States period, their family has been smelting iron and manufacturing iron tools in the Qilu region.

Moreover, it has a great relationship with the family of the worship of the past dynasties.

Relying on the protection of the Kong family, the Bing family escaped migration crises again and again.

However, as the Kong family was also ordered to migrate to Korea, the old power of the entire Qilu was swept away.

Bing's strategy, relying on the strategy of being cautious and holding his tail in the past, was exempted from being implicated because he did not have too many bitter masters.

However, this forced migration is inevitable.

The Bing family saw this fact.

So, he simply took the initiative to come to Guanzhong in advance to lay out.

As soon as he arrived in Guanzhong, he spent a lot of money to buy a house.

This is in line with the behavior of the Bing family in the past.

Through money, the family established ties with the academic and intellectual worlds, and then relied on the protection of the famous and powerful people to avoid the interference of the government.

But that once thought, the game nobles in this level are completely different from the rules of the game in Ludi.

In Ludi, local celebrities and celebrities can rely on their prestige to make the government dare not act rashly.

But in Guanzhong.

It doesn't matter if you are a famous university lord or a famous person with thousands of disciples.

All must sing conquest in the face of might.

Here, Confucianism and Huang Lao contain each other and balance each other.

The way of thinking and acting of the scholars is also completely different from that of Ludi.

They don't look down on Bing's money at all.

In other words, they value the development of their school and the impression in front of the royal family more than money.

If you send him money, he will gladly accept it, and he can accept your son and nephew as disciples.

But, do you want them to help support or lobby?

Don't even think about it!

Even Dr. Lu Ru in Taixue didn't dare to use their family's money to help their family talk like he did in Ludi.

Faced with this unfamiliar game rule, Bing had no idea at all.

Now, he is about to face the son of heaven who forcibly relocated the Kong family that had lived and multiplied in Qufu for hundreds of years, and at the same time washed the Qilu bureaucratic landlords.

Bing's inner fear and uneasiness can be imagined.

Bing Ji, the head of the Bing family, is like an ant on a hot pot, looking for people to talk to everywhere, hoping to find out something, or rather, hoping to release the pressure and fear in his heart through this method.

It's a pity that the Guanzhong family is as arrogant and contemptuous as in the past.

I don't take Bing in my eyes.

In their eyes, the Bing family is a rich man from the Kanto region.

Except for money, Bing had nothing.

For this kind of person, the people of Guanzhong have always said: Brother doesn't want to have anything to do with you......

After what seemed like a long time, the sound of footsteps was finally heard outside the door of the side hall.

A man who looked like a eunuch pushed open the door, glanced at the situation in the room with an expressionless face, and then said, "Everyone, Your Majesty has summoned, please come with me!" ”

Everyone then stood up one after another, like a three-year-old child meeting a strict parent, and obediently said, "No! ”

The head of a family closer to the door even quietly took out a piece of valuable jade and tried to stuff it over.

However, he was ruthlessly rejected by the eunuch.

"Don't mind!" The eunuch said, "Your nobleman, don't harm the slave and maid......

The Son of Heaven's most trusted eunuch, Wang Dao, has just been masturbated.

At this cusp, no eunuch dares to take bribes anymore.

In other words, even if you take money, you have to do it quietly.

Take advantage of it openly like this.

He didn't want to go to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor to serve the First Emperor!

And everyone looked at the eunuch as if they had seen a new continent, looking incredible.

How many years!

Is there finally an incorruptible eunuch?

Or is there a successor to Uncle Beigong?

However, the eunuch's attitude of refusing to take advantage further deepened the panic and uneasiness in many hearts.

When they were taken to the front of the main hall of the pavilion pottery house, this panic and uneasiness finally accumulated to the extreme.

Many people looked at the brightly lit hall and at the surrounding corridors and the lined roads lined with soldiers.

Teeth chattering.

Some people even remembered the scene when the six families including the Du family and the Zhang family were dragged in the vegetable market and cut in half.

It turns out that in front of the might, in front of the barrel of a gun.

They're nothing!

It can only be meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered!

"If I can get away with it this time, I will strictly supervise and urge my nephews to study or enlist in the army......" Someone thought silently in his heart: "In this world, no matter how much money you have, it is not as reliable as your official body and military power!" ”

…………………………………………

At the entrance of the hall, the head of the clan, after a rigorous physical examination to confirm that he was not carrying any contraband, approached the hall under the leadership of an attendant officer.

In the hall, the candlelight is bright.

Everyone recognized that it was a whale oil lamp burning.

Only whale oil lamps can have such an effect.

And when the Son of Heaven sits at the top of the hall.

Mu Mu Tianzi, the crown is drooping, holy and great.

Everyone hurriedly knelt down and bowed their heads: "Vulgar savage so-and-so, I salute my emperor Sheng'an!" ”

…………

Liu Che quietly looked at the dozen or so people kneeling in the hall.

These people are basically the richest places in Guan, such as Haoqiang and businessmen.

Basically, the net worth is more than 10 million.

Even, there is no shortage of huge wealth with tens of thousands of family properties.

The land under the names of these people is also abundant.

Just one Tian clan and no salt clan occupy more than 200,000 mu of land, with thousands of tenants and slaves!

"I, Weifu is here today to summon you, there are two things to confirm with you!" Liu Che clapped his palms, and immediately several officials from the embroidered clothes and guards poured stacks of newspapers in front of them.

"This first thing ......" Liu Che stood up and asked sternly: "I remember that my Emperor Ancestor and my Emperor Father once explicitly ordered the world: not to leave the country without permission!" ”

"Everyone, but they all ignored the edicts of Emperor Taizong and the first emperor, colluded with the government without authorization, and changed the city registration!"

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

When everyone listened, you looked at me, and I looked at you.

No one dared to answer that.

Who would dare to take that?

Unauthorized renunciation, according to the law, is a felony, and at least it must be completed.

However, it was the old yellow calendar at the beginning of the country.

Since the beginning of Taizong, the management of household registration has gradually relaxed.

There are many rich people who spend money to change their household registration book.

At least, more than 90% of today's businessmen will choose to do so after they are developed.

The reason is simple.

No one wants their children and grandchildren to be ordered by the government to live in a designated place, do business in a designated place, and be discriminated against and looked down upon.

Liu Che sneered and glanced at it.

"I don't want to pursue the past anymore............ Liu Che said.

The law does not hold the public accountable, and the way of municipal registration is indeed a bit too strict.

But......

Liu Che looked at these people who were still lucky and happy, and said: "From now on, you can only choose: either you are still a businessman, or you can change to farming!" ”

I want to be the landlord, and I want to do business.

Where is such a good thing?

Moreover, Liu Che never wanted that when the merchants made money, they went to hoard land.

That would do nothing but widen social contradictions.

"I have ordered Zhi Jinwu and the Inner History Yamen to join forces to conduct a comprehensive and thorough inventory of the acres of fields in Guanzhong, and all those who are engaged in business and workshop production in their families will have their land taxes calculated according to the laws of the city!" Liu Che told them about this decision and did not give them any chance at all.

This makes all families feel like knives.

Who does not know that today there is a law - the land of the merchant and the land of the landlord, and there are two sets of tax rates.

But they didn't dare to refute, and could only bow their heads and say, "Shengming has no fault with Your Majesty!" ”

Because of their protests and opposition, on this issue, there is no point.

The world's scholars and public opinion circles will not give them any support at all.

He would only raise his limbs on all fours and shout: Your Majesty, you have done a good job! (To be continued.) )
