Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 141

[Chapter 141 The Mouse Trick]

“Guardian Gao, can you really ask Yan Wang to just investigate like this? After this investigation, whoever we sit on will lose his head?”

Late at night.

Gao’s mansion.

The Dahao family in Shanggu County sat in a circle.

The table in front of them is full of delicious food.

There are also musicians playing music on one side, and dancers dancing lightly, but they can’t eat at all at this moment, can’t listen to it, can’t watch it anymore.

Gao Yuan held the wine glass and sipped the wine in it.

This is fine wine produced in Prince Yan’s Mansion, and it is always prepared in the homes of wealthy families.

“It’s really good wine.” Gao Yuan admired, and then he said to everyone unhurriedly: “The king of Yan will give us a big blow when he comes. He wants to take the land from us and distribute it to those mud legs, unless you are willing to hand it over. Land property, otherwise you don’t even think about staying in Shanggu County.”

Hearing this, the nobles became even more worried, and asked them to hand over their land property, which was no different from killing them.

“What does Lord Yuan say? We have paid him a lot of money over the years, and now he can’t just leave him alone.” said a rich man.

“The king of Yan made a note to slander Lord Yuan, now Lord Yuan is afraid of rumors from the court, so he can only proceed carefully.” Gao Yuan said.

When everyone heard the words, they sighed again, and all of them were frowning.

“We used to be good under Master Yuan’s command, but this bullshit King Yan is troublesome. If he pushes too much, just kill him, and it will be over once and for all.” A wealthy family said angrily.

“Kill him! Didn’t you see today’s soldiers? They killed Beidi people. Isn’t killing us the same as chopping melons and vegetables?” Someone shook his head.

“Then what do you say, this doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, just wait to die?”

“…” You and the

Hao family started arguing with each other.

“Silence, silence!” Gao Yuan patted the table.

When everyone looked at him, he said: “Can you trust me, Mr. Yuan?”

“Of course, we have always followed the example of Mr. Yuan all these years.” Everyone chattered.

“That’s good.” Gao Yuan narrowed his eyes.

He and the Yuan family are related by marriage, and the Yuan family and King Yan are in the same boat.

Under King Yan’s command, he couldn’t please him, and sooner or later, King Yan would have to touch him.

Instead of this, it’s better to listen to Yuan Li’s advice, and if you don’t do it, you won’t stop.

At that time, at worst, escape to Fan Yang, and still live a life of prosperity and wealth.

He took out a letter from his bosom, and he showed it in front of everyone, “This is Master Yuan’s handwritten letter.”

He asked his servant to show it to everyone, and when it returned to him, he put it on a candle and burned it up .

“Do you dare?” Gao Yuan stared at everyone.

In his heart, Yuan Li clearly stated that if he wanted to preserve wealth and honor for a long time, the only way was to get rid of King Yan.

And let them act boldly. If they fail, they can go to Fan Yang and seek his asylum.

“What do you say, my lord? I’m afraid that all the private soldiers in the county will not be the match of King Yan.” One person said.

“If you can’t be tough, then let’s be soft. I will wait and pretend to obey King Yan, wait for the opportunity, set an ambush, and kill him!” Gao Yuan’s eyes were gloomy.

Everyone nodded, “It’s up to your lord to order.”

…

In Shanggu County, in a courtyard in Xicheng, Zhao Xu sat with Chang Wei and Liu Fu holding candles.

Liu Fu said: “Your Highness is a little too hasty. If they are forced to turn against them, it will be bad.”

“It would be better if they turn against them, but they can cut the mess quickly.” Zhao Xu said.

Chang Wei wiped the hilt of his sword, “Hey, Your Highness is getting more and more like a general now, what can we discuss with them.”

Liu Fu nodded slightly.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, the prince’s fiefdom is the same.

At present, Shanggu County is the old department of the Yuan family, and it would be uncomfortable for anyone to stay here.

It’s just that getting rid of them requires a reason.

“On the way here, you also saw the situation in Shanggu County. There is an urgent need to restore the people’s livelihood here. If these wealthy families continue to toss, the people outside the wealthy Wubao will die. Not to mention how to settle people from Jinzhou without land. Refugees.” Zhao Xu said.

The reason why he is so tough is that he doesn’t want to waste time playing Tai Chi with these rich people.

It’s not necessary, and his strength doesn’t require him to accommodate the wealthy family.

The Shanggu County Government Office only needs to implement his decree.

If he doesn’t copy it, he will be a man.

Zhao Xu continued: “Tomorrow the king will go back, you stay here for a while, leave 5,000 soldiers and horses for you to call, take control of this place as soon as possible, remember, you are wearing the watch is the king, show some majesty. Hearing this, Liu Fu straightened his body, ”

I will make them spit out what they eat.”

Zhao Xu nodded.

There was nothing to say all night, Zhao Xu went to the government office the next day.

Gao Yuan has been waiting there with a group of officials.

When he saw Zhao Xu, he immediately knelt down, “Your Highness, I don’t discipline the clansmen strictly, and I hope His Highness punishes

them.” The other officials also knelt down.

“Master Gao, is this?” Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he felt a familiar feeling.

When Zhang Kang pretended to surrender, he seemed to kneel like this.

“If His Highness hadn’t ordered an investigation of the land property, the lower official would not have known that the clan’s children had occupied so much land after Beidi’s autumn hunting. Now the lower official has sorted out the occupied land and put the clansmen who occupied the land into prison. Your Highness has learned.” Gao Yuan held up an account book.

Other officials have also raised their books.

Zhao Xu took it and glanced at it. It said the location and quantity of the property.

Looking at Liu Fu, Zhao Xu said: “Governor Gao, please, since the sheriff has dealt with the clansmen, let’s skip this matter. From now on, I only hope that the sheriff can cooperate sincerely with Liu Wangfu to restore the prosperity of Shanggu County. ”

Yes, Your Highness.” Gao Yuan stood up, snot and tears.

Zhao Xu asked Liu Fu to collect the account books of other officials.

These fields are enough to accommodate many people.

“Since that’s the case, I can rest assured.” Zhao Xu sneered in his heart.

The lesson Zhang Kang taught him is still there.

It is impossible for him to believe that they are harmless to humans and animals.

When he returned to Yan County, he would let Yanwei Qianren come here, so he wanted to see what kind of tricks Gao Yuan was playing.

His current state of mind is a bit like cat and mouse.

He beat Beidi, and he also touched the Yuan family. Would he still be afraid of these people?

He is not afraid of them making trouble, but he is afraid that they will not make trouble.

In the morning, he went to the government office to learn about the situation in Shanggu County.

According to the household registration documents.

Shanggu County originally had 380,000 households, but that was ten years ago.

After these years of war, it would be nice if half of Shanggu County survived.

The household registration documents of Yan County at that time also recorded almost this number.

However, according to preliminary statistics, the actual number of households is also lacking.

It would be nice to have 400,000 households in the two counties.

Noon.

Zhao Xu left Shanggu County as planned.

Chang Wei led four thousand soldiers and horses to Feihu Pass to take charge there.

And he returned to Yancheng under the protection of a thousand soldiers.

Next, he wants to get out a big killer.
