Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 10
[Chapter 10 Crisis]
“You just need to tell the common people that we only charge 10% of the rent for the fields of our palace.
” We have planted our land, and most of the property of the nobles in Yan County will be reaped.”
“This king never knew it, but how can he lose people’s hearts because of small profits. Only in this way can the people of Yan County be used by the king. Don’t forget, except For the rich people of Yan County, autumn is over after summer.”
Liu Fu shuddered, and autumn was the time for Beidi people to come.
Now the whole Yanzhou has changed color upon hearing of Beidi, and he is no exception.
“Little one understands, let’s do it now!” Liu Fu turned to leave.
“Wait.” Zhao Xu called Liu Fu, “A poor family is never humble, this world is forged by the blood and sweat of countless people, and, in the future, I will call myself a
lower official.” Fu turned around, and a crystal teardrop fell from the corner of his eye.
this moment.
Yan Wang asked him to die, and he was willing.
next day.
Liu Fu woke up early, before recruiting people for the royal estate.
He still has one thing to do, which is to execute Zhang Han.
During this period of time, Zhang Han did a lot of bad things in the name of the palace.
He wants to kill Zhang Han first to rectify the name of the palace.
“When the king first arrived in Yan County, he was blessed by heaven and his madness was cured. However, Fu Zhanghan, the king of the palace, imprisoned the king during his illness, abused his power, and imposed harsh policies to make the people miserable. He committed a heinous crime. Today, he is beheaded. In Dongshi, known as Zhengwangfu.”
Yancheng Dongshi.
This is the execution place where the government executes executions.
At this time, Zhang Han was kneeling in the middle of the execution ground, surrounded by people who came to watch the execution.
On the viewing platform behind the execution ground, Liu Fu was no longer dressed as a servant, but in the official uniform of Wangfu Wangfu.
Beside him, there is also a middle-aged man, dressed in a scarlet official robe, with a long beard and elegant appearance.
He is none other than Zhang Kang, the prefect of Yan County, the younger brother of Zhang Qian.
Yesterday, he had just returned from Fanyang County, the administrative center of Yanzhou, when he heard the news from his elder brother Zhang Qian that King Yan had recovered from his madness.
Although he was unhappy, he still decided to visit King Yan today, maintaining his superficial courtesy.
Unexpectedly, he met the team escorting Zhang Han on the way.
After inquiring, he learned that the palace had changed Wang Fu and wanted to execute Zhang Han, so he had to greet the new Wang Fu first, and followed him to the execution ground.
“Cousin, save me, save me…”
The death card was pulled out by the executioner behind him, and Zhang Han’s crotch was immediately wet.
Turning his head, he desperately asked Zhang Kang for help.
“Cousin?” Liu Fu deliberately squinted at Zhang Kang.
“Bold prisoner, on the verge of death, dare to talk nonsense.” Zhang Kang felt guilty for a while, and he and Zhang Han had a lot of secret affairs.
Now that Zhang Han was reduced to a prisoner, he wished that he would die immediately, so as not to involve himself in it.
After all, a crazy King Yan is completely different from a normal King Yan.
His Zhang family is powerful in Yan County, but this Yan County is the fiefdom of King Yan after all.
In name, the military and political power, life and death, all belong to King Yan.
“Cousin, you are so ruthless, don’t forget how many things I have done for your Zhang family…” Zhang Han shouted hoarsely.
“Cut it, cut it for me!” Zhang Kang picked up the command arrow and threw it out.
When the arrow fell to the ground, the executioner put away the knife and dropped it, and a human head rolled to the ground.
“Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?” Liu Fu frowned, Zhang Kang completely ignored his existence.
He is the chief criminal officer. Could Zhang Kang be the one who threw the arrow?
“Oh, sin, sin, I was angry for a while, but I forgot about it, and I hope Wang Fu will punish me.” Zhang Kang bowed and apologized again and again.
When he lowered his head, there was a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Liu Fu’s eyes narrowed, but he smiled instantly. He understood the arrogance of officials from the powerful clan in Yan County.
“That’s all.”
Liu Fu turned around and ignored Zhang Kang.
In addition to beheading Zhang Han to rectify the name of the palace, he still has important matters to do today, which is to recruit people for the estate of the palace.
No matter who lost the command arrow, Zhang Han’s death has already aroused people’s discussion.
“It turns out that this decree was not issued by the palace.”
“That is, I heard that King Yan was insane before, how could he issue such a decree.”
“It’s a good death, it’s really satisfying. It seems that King Yan is sensible.”
” There is no need to raise taxes, that’s great.”
“…” After the
noisy discussion came, Liu Fu smiled, but Zhang Kang’s face was very ugly.
Obviously, Zhang Han’s head saved the reputation of the palace.
This is not good news for the wealthy family in Yan County.
If the people all turn to King Yan, how will they benefit the people in the future?
He was secretly worried, when he heard another sentence from Liu Fu, his face changed completely.
“There is one more thing today. His Royal Highness the King of Yan cherishes the people of Yan County. The palace has 60,000 mu of farmland. If you want to recruit people to cultivate it, the harvest is only one in ten. If you are willing, you can go to the palace to sign a contract. No one is deceived. ” Liu Fu said loudly.
“Take one out of ten, I heard you right.”
The people in the execution ground immediately exploded, and heated discussions resounded through the sky.
“I also heard that it is one out of ten.”
“There is such a good thing, eight out of ten lands belong to the rich family.”
“If that’s the case, King Yan is really a worthy king.”
“…”
While some people were discussing, some people had quietly left the execution ground and asked for help. The palace ran away.
Later, more and more people recalled it.
Those who have property should inform their relatives who don’t have property, and those who don’t have property will go to the palace to see what’s going on like crazy.
Not long after, the people in the entire execution ground disappeared.
“His Royal Highness King Yan is really a good trick.” Zhang Kang seemed to be smiling, but with just one move, King Yan’s honor changed from black to white.
It ruined his and Zhang Han’s plan to kill two birds with one stone while deliberately making profits for the Zhang family and destroying the reputation of the Yan Palace.
“Your Highness just doesn’t want the property to be left empty, and Jun Zhang doesn’t need to worry about it.” Liu Fu smiled, turned and left.
Zhang Kang raised his foot, wanting to go to the palace.
But after thinking about it, he decided to go back to Zhang’s house immediately and discuss the matter with his brother.
After he returned home, he was not happy when he learned that his brother was greedy for huge profits and exchanged a lot of money and land for the method of making ice.
He only regretted that he was no longer in Yan County and couldn’t stop it.
After King Yan came to Yan County, he colluded with Zhang Han and tried every means to empty out the property of the king’s mansion in order to make the king’s mansion without money and difficult to do anything.
Now, it’s all ruined.
It’s just that he didn’t go far when he saw many young and strong people heading towards the palace.
Suspicious in his heart, he immediately asked his servant to inquire.
“Second Master, Prince Yan’s Mansion is recruiting troops. It is said that they are paid three taels of silver a month. These young men have all gone to join the army.” The servant came back with a look of envy.
“Three taels?” Zhang Kang frowned.
No wonder these young men are so active. In Yan County, one tael of silver is enough for a family to live on, and three taels of silver can live very comfortably.
And the salary of ordinary soldiers in Dasong is only one tael.
King Yan gave all his pro-army the treatment of the Dasong Forbidden Army.
“With the money and food, the people, and now the soldiers, this King Yan is amazing. If this continues, Yan County will really belong to King Yan. No way.” Zhang Han’s death was imminent.
The Zhang family had done a lot of shady things with Zhang Han secretly.
If Zhao Xu is really allowed to control Yan County, the fate of the Zhang family will be difficult to predict.
Back to Zhang’s house.
He found Zhang Qian who was walking the bird, and told him what he had seen and heard.
“I already know about this matter.” Zhang Qian sneered, “The ice-making method has been obtained, so there is no need to care about the Yan Palace. Hmph, he wants to make it big in Yan County, it is a dream!”
Zhang Kang was overjoyed when he heard the words, “Brother has already Have a countermeasure?”
Zhang Qian nodded lightly, he knew that Zhang Kang was dissatisfied with the way he bought the ice making method, but Zhang Kang didn’t know that he had already planned.
For him, Yan County belongs to the Zhang family, and no one can touch it, including the Yan Palace.
After all, anyone with a little brain can see the weakness of the current royal family. Perhaps in a few years, the world will be full of wars.
Therefore, how could he let Yan County fall into the hands of King Yan? This is the capital of his Zhang family in troubled times.
Furthermore, Beidi was eyeing Dasong covetously, and Yanzhou could change hands at any time, but at that time, as long as he voted for Beidi people, he could still control Yanjun.
In short, with Yan County, his Zhang family has everything.
“Let King Yan be proud for a few days first. I have sent someone to contact Qingfengzhai. When their people enter the city, no matter whether it is the crazy King Yan or the non-crazy King Yan, he will be turned into a dead King Yan.”
“Qingfengzhai? Wonderful, King Yan was killed by bandits in the palace. Even the emperor can only stare blankly. Then we can encircle and suppress Qingfengzhai, and we can do great things…” Zhang Kang couldn’t stop laughing.
