Steel Dynasty - Chapter 108

[Chapter 108 What the People Want]

“Your Highness, the common people obey your orders.”

Qin Chuanyun felt sad, but he had no choice. The tribe was the main reason why the wealthy family was able to dominate the countryside.

Now that once the tribe is disbanded, they will lose their reputation as a wealthy family and will no longer be able to dominate.

Pang Yukun said at this time: “Qin Chuanyun, generally speaking, you have done a lot for His Highness, and His Highness still trusts you. I hope that your Qin family can set an example in this matter. Qingzhou will issue a decree soon. From now on, The people do not allow private soldiers in any situation.”

This sentence made Qin Chuanyun feel a little more comfortable. Survive or perish, Qin Chuanyun had to choose one at this time.

The Wang family’s lesson was right in front of him. He said, “Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I promise that the Qin family will work for Your Highness in peace and order from now on.”

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Ming signaled to Qin Chuanyun and his son that they could leave.

The two left the main hall, and Xiao Ming said at this time: “I will let Li San’s people keep an eye on it to see if the Qin family is acting in a shady manner. If Qin Chuanyun is sensible, the Qin family is a local businessman worthy of support, as well as foreign businessmen. After all, we are not of the same mind, and we need to be restrained by local businessmen.”

“Qin Chuanyun is not as resourceful as Wang Chengchou, and he is also less courageous, otherwise he would not have been suppressed by the Wang family for so many years.” Pang Yukun said, “I hope Qin Chuan. Yun Hui will do it. In this way, the Sun family and the Wei family will be in harmony. “

“Yes, by the way, a large part of the Wang family’s land was occupied, and many of the Wang family’s slaves were forced to sell themselves. If you want to find the people and return them free, return the property to them.” Pang

Yukun

said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Your Highness, other matters can be postponed. This matter will be dealt with quickly.”

, Xiao Ming sent someone to find Fan Zeng.

Naturally, this matter of dividing land among local tyrants must be publicized with great fanfare, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people.

Since ancient times, people have risen up for land, so this is what the people want.

In addition to the royal family’s land, he also successively issued decrees to return land to the people, ordering the wealthy families in the fiefdom to return all illegal land to the people.

The next day, Fan Zeng printed these contents in the newspaper. The newspaper followed the newsboy to six states, which immediately caused an uproar among the people.

This is naturally a matter for the Wang family, and what the people are most concerned about is the decision of the wealthy family to return the occupied land to them.

“It’s really satisfying. The Wang family has occupied a lot of fertile land along the Tuojiang River in our village. Now we can finally get it back.”

In Zhujia Village, the villagers surrounded the reporter who arrived on time at noon every day. Since the establishment of the newspaper, the newsboy has abandoned Instead, these scholars who walked around with newspapers had an elegant name.

“No, my five acres of fertile land was taken over by the Wang family. When I went to ask for it, I was beaten up by the Wang family’s evil slaves. Hey, God’s eyes are open. King Qi is becoming more and more wise. If I can get this land, , I took my sheep and gave it to His Highness to thank him,” said a villager.

Zhu Wuliu was also in the crowd. He grinned and smiled naively. The Wang family was gone and he no longer had the job of herding cattle. However, his family’s land was also seized by the Wang family. If he could get it back, he could divide the land into pieces.

In this way, after two or three years of farming, life will be comfortable.

“King Qi is a thousand years old!” Thinking of this, Zhu Wuliu felt happy and suddenly shouted.

In an instant, the entire threshing floor fell silent, and all the villagers in Zhujia Village looked at Zhu Wuliu.

Zhu Wuliu suddenly didn’t dare to speak and looked at the people around him with some fear.

“King Qi is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old.” Just when he was confused, everyone suddenly shouted enthusiastically.

The scholar in the middle of the threshing floor looked at the excited people of Zhujia Village and was also affected, cheering together with the people.

The purpose of the decrees in this newspaper is very clear, which is to crack down on the wealthy families in the fiefdom.

For many children from poor families, they are well aware of the harm done by wealthy families to the Great Chongqing Kingdom. Unfortunately, the Great Chongqing Kingdom is ruled by them. In any place, the government always protects their interests.

Only here, and only King Qi dared to be the first to kill the wealthy clan and eliminate the cancer parasitic in the fiefdom.

He and the common people have similar thoughts. The common people want to live and work in peace and contentment, not to be bullied by the rich and powerful, to have enough to eat, to wear warm clothes, to get married, and to raise children.

And a boy from a poor family like him wanted to be treated fairly in the imperial examination and be measured by his personal talent and learning, not his family background.

In other parts of Dayu, he saw no hope, but as he read newspapers every day and collected public opinion, he gradually felt that perhaps only King Qi could achieve all this.

In order for this day to come true, he was willing to work tirelessly every day to spread the news in the newspaper to every corner of the fiefdom.

The news in the newspapers also spread to the wealthy families in Qingzhou. Unlike the excitement of the people, they fell into panic.

The Wang family learned from their mistakes, which sounded a wake-up call for them, and at the same time conveyed a message that King Qi’s fiefdom would no longer be a place for them to act arbitrarily.

If you want to live here, you must abide by the laws of Qingzhou.

In the next few days, an even more shocking news came from the newspaper. The Qin family took the initiative to write an article in the newspaper office, deciding to return all the occupied land and restore the status of good people to some people who sold themselves because of losing their land.

At the same time, the Qin family’s Wubao in the six states will be taken over by the Qingzhou Army in each state, and the Qin family tribes will be formally disbanded and incorporated into the Qingzhou Army.

One of the two leading wealthy families in Qingzhou was wiped out, and the other took the initiative to accept the promulgated government decree. This was like an earthquake to the wealthy families in each state.

A strange atmosphere also spread across the six states.

Qingzhou Governor’s Mansion, Xiao Ming has been handling government affairs here for the past half month.

Since the decree was conveyed to the six states, the governor’s office has been paying attention to the situation in the six states. The Qin family chose to compromise, but Xiao Ming did not think that everyone would compromise.

There will be a few people who are not afraid of death anywhere. After all, once this decree is issued, it is equivalent to him officially declaring war on all the wealthy families in the fiefdom.

“Your Highness, the Qin member has sent an invitation to invite you, me, General Lu Fei and others to the Qin Mansion for a banquet. He said that this time he invited many wealthy families who are close to the Qin family, and they are willing to obey His Highness’s orders just like him. “Pang Yukun sent an invitation.

Qin Chuanyun was the first to respond to the decree, so Xiao Ming naturally had a better impression of the Qin family and felt that the boy was teachable.

Opening the invitation and looking at it, he smiled and said, “Qin Chuanyun is very attentive this time.”

“He is indeed attentive, but I’m afraid this time it will be a Hongmen Banquet.” Suddenly a cold voice came from outside the door. .
