Chapter 338: Cleanup

The murderous aura between Du Le's words startled Nangong Yan a lot, and cold sweat broke out in his palms.

In fact, the employment system is the most lethal to the wealthy families, enough to shake their foundations. At this time, no matter how unclear Nangong Yan is, it is impossible that he still does not understand the position of the lord of the country.

Obviously, in the hearts of the lords, these so-called wealthy families are worthless. No matter what their opinion is, whether they agree or disagree with any national policy, to the lord of the country, it is actually equivalent to nothing.

The Han State is different from the previous dynasties, and will not accommodate any wealthy family in Yunzhou, let alone be threatened by any powerful force.

At this moment, Nangong Yan mourned in his heart for those young people. The words and deeds of these young men have already violated the majesty of the lord, and the lord of the country will naturally not spare them. Out of awe of Du Le, as well as anger at the disobedience of these Yunzhou families, without Du Le's explanation, Nangong Yan immediately decided to take the family behind these young people and make the first cut.

When the wine and food were served, several young people did not continue to speak out and slander the Han government, but quickly turned the topic to Fenghua Xueyue, and all of them behaved uninhibitedly.

Nangong Yan guessed correctly, Du Le didn't care about any official family or wealthy family at all, let alone the moths in Yunzhou in front of him. What they eat and drink is all squeezed from the people of Yunzhou. The whole world is not the emperor's land, and the entire Yunzhou belongs to Du Le, of course, including these properties exploited and exploited by them, and their actions are undoubtedly robbing Du Le's interests. Naturally, Du Le could not tolerate it.

Many things must be broken first. And then it can be established.

Today, Yunzhou has just been incorporated into the Han Kingdom. Most of the main forces of the Han army were deployed around Chuanyun Pass and the border to prevent the Ming State from being unwilling to be defeated and harassing them. However, the Han State implemented a policy of elite soldiers, and after all, the Han State had just been founded, and the number of Han troops was not huge. Therefore, inside Yunzhou, it is destined not to retain too many Han troops.

And as a spider machine, as a big killer, it is impossible for Du Le to use them as a garrison. If these large, strangely shaped mechanical objects appear in people's lives for a long time. It will inevitably cause panic among the people and affect their normal production and life.

Therefore. To manage the armed law enforcement force of a locality, the most important thing to do is to rely on the local government and soldiers.

But now, Wei Qubing has more than 5,000 Han troops stationed in Beiyucheng, which can just serve as a strong backing for the government's troops. It is the right time to clean up the territory of Yunzhou. If you don't take advantage of the fact that you are now rotting the flesh and bones. Mobilize the momentum to completely clear the situation. How can we ensure the long-term stability of Yunzhou?

The purge that Du Le wanted was to completely eliminate the remnants of the power in Yunzhou that were related to the Ming state. During the war in Yunzhou, many real wealthy families. They all chose to leave and went to Mingguo. But they didn't transfer all of them, they still had some eyeliner left, or they colluded with other families who stayed in Yunzhou, trying to see the stitches and plot against them. This is one of the reasons why Du Le has made great efforts to cleanse the wealthy family.

"Our young master will reward you with five yuan of gold coins and let you leave immediately." A man in a strong suit suddenly walked up to Du Le and them, threw a gold coin on the table, and said with a proud expression.

When Wei Quzhi heard this, he glared angrily at the man in the strong suit, clenching the hilt of the sword at his waist, and wanted to draw the sword. But the man in the strong suit actually glanced at the sword in Wei Quai's hand with disdain, and said, "This is a reward from the son of the Chen family." Whether you want it or not, you have to get out of here right away. If it weren't for the son's explanation not to cause trouble, I would have driven you out of Lu a long time ago. ”

Nangong Yan was taken aback. At the moment, there were only two of them accompanying the lord of the kingdom, and if he really wanted to use his sword, he was worried that he would hurt the lord.

"Beiyucheng, is the Chen family in charge?" Du Le ignored the attitude of the man in the strong suit, and only asked lightly.

"Hmph, Beiyucheng is naturally not our Chen family's master, don't be ignorant, there are also sons of the Qi family, the Lian family, and the Wang family. So, if you want to die, it's still very easy. After hearing Du Le's question, from among the six young people, an equally arrogant sword boy walked over, this is the Chen family boy in the mouth of the man in the strong suit, I saw that his eyes were contemptuous, and his words were full of provocation.

Du Le didn't care how this son of the Chen family got carried away, he just looked back at Nangong Yan and motioned for him to explain this son's words.

Nangong Yan understood and said: "When the Tian family and the Lan family of Beiyucheng moved to Chengzhou, they used to sell the properties under their names, and the Qi family, the Wang family, the Lian family and the Chen family took the opportunity to buy most of the shops, so the power of the four of them increased dramatically, and the four of them were known as the four major families of Beiyucheng. These stores include all walks of life, most of them are grain stores, cloth stores, oil stores, restaurants, jade shops, gold stores, and casinos, which control more than 60% of the tax-paying stores in North Yucheng. ”

"Yo, you still know a lot about the Tao, since you know the power of the four of us, you should know each other." The son of the Chen family listened to Nangong Yan count the glorious history of the four of them, and his face became a little more arrogant, but he was also a little surprised that Nangong Yan was so clear.

"Here in Beiyucheng, how many Han merchants have opened shops in the city?" Du Le asked.

Nangong Yan was sweating profusely and said: "So far, there are only a few foreign commercial houses in the Han Kingdom that have purchased industries in Beiyucheng. ”

"Why?" Du Le continued to ask.

"Because most of the shops are already in the hands of the four major families, they have joined forces to boycott and forbid the local residents to sell their shops to foreign merchants." Nangong Yan replied.

Just when Du Le and Nangong Yan were asking and answering, under the restaurant, unconsciously, there were already a hundred Han army sergeants standing.

These Han army sergeants were originally stationed in the Beiyucheng Mansion to protect the lord of the country, but Du Le wanted to really understand the people's situation and asked for a private visit to Weifu, so Wei Qubing did not bring these Han army sergeants. Moreover, this time the Han State Lord Weifu paid a private visit, and the officials of the Han National Bureau of Statistics naturally attached great importance to it. Even if the lord of the country is an "immortal" and his ability is unfathomable, the safety of the lord of the country cannot be ignored by the Bureau of Statistics.

So, behind Dule. There have always been people secretly following the protection. Du Le and Wei Qubing are also well aware of this. Only Nangong Yan, who does not know much about the ability of the Han National Bureau of Statistics, will worry about Du Le from time to time.

When Wei Quzhi saw a few sons and brothers, who wanted to occupy the table with an arrogant attitude, and spoke disrespectfully to the lord of the country, he knew that the Tao was not good. The dignified lord of the Han Kingdom naturally has no reason to give up his seat to these so-called children of the family, so it is not difficult to guess that these sons and brothers will definitely not give up.

So. Wei Qu was sick and took advantage of everyone's disappointment. Secretly facing the people who followed and protected, he made several special gestures in the army, asking for the gathering of people. The officials of the Bureau of Statistics immediately passed through the contact device. Liaison officer of the Han Army in the official office. As soon as the Han sergeant got the information. Immediately at the pace of a rapid march. In just five minutes, I rushed to the bottom of the restaurant.

The people in the major streets of Beiyu City were frightened by the sudden appearance of the Han army.

Originally. Several sons on the second floor of the restaurant, if they were not arrogant and impetuous, they should also pay attention to the situation downstairs. However, they had already focused all their attention on the three of them, and naturally they did not care about the sudden change of situation downstairs.

When the 100-man Han army arrived at the restaurant, Du Le got the news through the spy machine. However, Dooler remained unmoved.

"How is the matter of the government's farm loan?" Du Le asked.

"Some people in this country spread rumors, saying that the seeds of the government cannot be planted and survived, and that the government is deceiving the people, and that the farm loan is actually the government's usury in disguise." Nangong Yan replied uneasily.

"There are such rumors?!" Du Le found that many of the policies he had set up in Yunzhou had been undermined and suppressed to varying degrees. This made Du Le feel very angry.

Nangong Yan glanced at the son of the Chen family who was standing beside them, gritted his teeth and replied: "I have arranged for someone to secretly investigate, it turns out that they are all spread by the four major families, not only that, but they also took the initiative to lower the price of agricultural seeds, asked tenant farmers to cultivate their land, and deliberately spread rumors that the rent of the farm is higher, and they promised that their land rent will not be higher than that of the government." ”

"It seems that the official government of the Han Kingdom, the authority in Yunzhou, is not as good as the so-called four major families!" Du Le's tone has fallen to freezing point.

In an environment with extremely low productivity, if it is separated by a mountain, it is often equivalent to being separated by a world. After such deliberate slander by these four major families, perhaps, in the eyes of the people of Yunzhou, the people of the Han Kingdom are not as good as the people of the Ming Kingdom of the Heavenly Empire.

"Hurry up! Otherwise" After the Chen family saw that he released his threatening words, Du Le and the others did not move, and continued to talk as if no one was around, and did not take him in his eyes at all, and immediately became angry, and immediately interrupted Du Le and wanted to release cruel words.

"Otherwise what?" Du Le raised his eyebrows and looked at the Chen family with a calm face.

"Otherwise, you will never be able to leave the Northern Jade City again." The man in the power suit next to the Chen family said with a cruel smile.

The Chen family nodding with satisfaction.

"Yes, that's good! Did you hear that? Du Le turned his head to Wei Quzhi and said.

Wei Quzhi had already learned through the signal of the secret agent that the sergeant of the Han army had gone to the restaurant to wait, and he was already a little unable to hold back in his heart, as soon as he got Du Le's signal, he immediately shouted loudly: "Beiyucheng is the land of the Han Kingdom, you dare to despise the majesty of the Han Kingdom!" Someone! ”

More than 100 Han army sergeants received the order, and quickly rushed upstairs with long knives in hand, and lined up neatly in front of Wei Quai's illness with the momentum of fierce slaughter. Wei Quzhi nodded with satisfaction, these sergeants were his direct troops, and the better they behaved in front of the lord, the more glorious they were.

The upstairs space is not large, and more than 100 Han army sergeants rushed up this time, and suddenly crowded the space of the restaurant, and all of them were wearing armor and glaring angrily, just afraid that everyone who saw it would be frightened.

When these young sons of the family saw this battle, their bodies and bones became a lot softer for a while, and their faces were even more frightened. But relying on the prestige of his family in the North Jade City, thinking that even the city guards of the North Jade City would tie up their family, and they had always been arrogant and used to being arrogant, and after a while, they were at ease, and they didn't think so, thinking that these things in front of them were just putting up a position, and they didn't dare to move them at all.

You must know that if it weren't for the four of them, Beiyu City would not have returned to normal order so quickly. This is the question that the heads of the four families talked about in a meeting, otherwise, these sons would not be so arrogant. Therefore, these sons always think that no matter what powerful people they offend, they must settle things in the end.

It's just that. They never imagined that in front of them, there was not only the city guard of the Northern Jade City, but also the lord of the Han Kingdom. No matter how powerful these families are, the entire Northern Jade City, and even the entire Han Kingdom, belong to the person in front of them, and no matter how self-righteous they are, they are just his subjects.

"Arrest them all!" Wei Quzhi pointed to the six young sons and ordered.

Six sons of four families. The complexion changed dramatically. I didn't think that these people would dare to do it to themselves? At that moment, not only did they not tie their hands and catch them, but they drew their swords one after another. Not only that, but sitting at the two tables next to them, nine men in strong suits stood up at the same time. Each man had a knife in his hand. It's a posture to confront them.

"You dare!" The son of the Chen family did not know that death was coming. Shouted to Dule and them.

"Why not?" The corners of Du Le's mouth lifted and he sneered, "You are illegally armed and extremely bold. Lord Nangong. What are they guilty of? ”

"Illegal possession of weapons will be arrested in the military city mine for one year of labor reform according to the law. If you dare to resist, the government can shoot you on the spot. Nangong Yan replied.

"All the punishments will be doubled, and those who resist will be killed." Du Le coldly dropped his words, as if these sons in front of him were no better than ants.

"Protect Childe! Ah" A man in a strong suit shouted and walked up quickly to block in front of the sons, but before he could finish his words, he was stabbed to death by two Han soldiers with one shot, and corrected the law on the spot.

Several sons didn't expect these sergeants to really do it, they were the only ones who did it to others, when they saw such a scene, they were all stunned for a while. Seeing this, the rest of the men in strong suits directly dropped their weapons and begged for mercy.

Nangong Yanben was also worried about Du Le's safety, and intentionally or unintentionally blocked in front of Du Le to prevent accidents. Realizing Nangong Yan's worries, Du Le said lightly: "Some people, like paper tigers, can be broken with a single stab. Don't worry, don't be afraid, dealing with them, it's actually quite simple. ”

When Nangong Yan heard this, he said respectfully: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the minister must be strict with the four major families. ”

"Wei Quai, you bring some sergeants to assist the Nangong City Guard." Du Le waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Qu responded to the disease.

Nangong Yan and Wei Qubing immediately escorted the sons of the four major families out of the restaurant and tied them back to the official office. After arranging for soldiers to closely guard these sons, Nangong Yan immediately summoned officials at all levels of the government and officials, together with more than 500 Han soldiers who were sick in Wei, to divide their troops to seal off all the mansions of the four major families in Beiyu City and conduct a strict search. It is illegal to find that there is a hired slave without an employment contract. Slaves are illegal workers, and the master's family is a violation of the employment law. The former had to be repatriated or arrested in the military city mines, where they worked and reformed at the same time; The latter, cooperating with the government's fines, those who resist, will be arrested, and then judged one by one according to the circumstances and in accordance with the national law.

The people of the four major families in Northern Jade City really looked down on Nangong Yan. Among them, the Qi family is a powerful one in Beiyu City, and it has a martial arts hall. Therefore, when the Qi family saw Nangong Yan sending people to surround their mansion, their first reaction was not to ask Nangong Yan for forgiveness, but to directly send people to beat the officials with sticks.

Nangong Yan was worried that no one would send him to the door and let him be severely punished. The Qi family's actions just gave Nangong Yan an excellent excuse.

Nangong Yan immediately asked Wei Qubing to lead troops on the grounds that the Qi family colluded with the Ming Kingdom, deliberately beat officials, and undermined the stability of Beiyucheng, and killed more than a dozen people in a row within half an hour to suppress the Qi family. This time, Nangong Yan changed the kindness he had when he first took office, but whenever he encountered a trace of disrespect, he was all arrested and sent to the military city for mining and transformation.

Nangong Yan's approach, as soon as it came out, it immediately spread in the North Jade City, causing a huge response. And the four major families entrenched in the North Jade City, under the blow, had to bow down one by one.

When the patriarchs of the four major families learned what happened to them, it was because those young masters, when they were ashamed to speak in front of the lord of the Han Kingdom, they were so angry that they blew their beards and glared, and immediately announced to the world that they would be expelled from the house. If it weren't for the rudeness and recklessness of these young people, how could the four major families have suffered such a catastrophe and suffered such heavy losses?

According to Du Le's will, Nangong Yan and Wei Qubing were in the Northern Jade City and personally supervised the implementation of the Han decrees. Du Le asked the Bureau of Statistics to make hundreds of copies of all the laws and regulations formulated by the Han State and distribute them to all parts of Beiyucheng and the villages around Beiyucheng, and at the same time send officials from various prefectures to give speeches and explanations, so as to make all the people in Beiyucheng truly understand the true meaning of the Han policy in the shortest possible time, and to correct the laws and regulations so that the people will be obedient.

The policy of the Han government is fundamentally based on the people and benefiting the people, rather than the rumors spread by the four major families to exploit and oppress the people.

The Han government provided loans so that the common people could have sufficient cash to buy seeds brought by Han merchants, and accept the people to repay the loans at the same price as the crops planted. All the wasteland that has been cultivated by the people themselves can still become their own land, so that the people can really be the masters of their own affairs.

The transformation of Yunzhou Farm officially began.

In the Government Square of the island country, "Courage" was released together with Noriko Oda's album, which was a musical event.

After Du Le and Noriko Oda finished eating, they left without personally watching the entire release process.

However, according to Du Le's later understanding, during the sale, from time to time there were excited musicians who cried bitterly, or were moved by Z's music, or were anxious because of the lack of Z, and the whole square fell into chaos several times.

Fortunately, Noriko Oda had an idea, and immediately found a music disc of "Tranquility", played it on the spot through the speakers in the Government Square, and then tens of thousands of music fans slowly regained their calm, and then bought the music album in an orderly manner and left.

On the same day, the island nation sold a total of 150,000 copies of "Courage" and 150,000 copies of "Self Change". Such an achievement made Tianxing Entertainment laugh up and down.

Seeing such a big gain, the government of the island country was not willing to let it go, and then held various activities one after another, so that these tourists could stay in the island country for a few more days and spend more.

However, in fact, it is difficult for the passenger traffic of the island country to transport tens of thousands of tourists in two or three days.

Duran and Liang Xiaojing, after a night of surprises, were only fatigued. Both of them successfully bought the album of "Z", but at this time they faced a big problem - homelessness.

With such a large number of tourists increasing in one day, the hotels and inns in the island country are naturally full. Those who are prepared are relatively lucky, and they all come to the island country with tents, so accommodation is naturally not a problem. However, Du Lan and Liang Xiaojing went abroad together for the first time, they were not prepared, and Du Le's mobile phone had not been able to get through, and they were both as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Duran and Liang Xiaojing had to be in the square, and the two leaned on each other for the night. Fortunately, there are many people in the same situation as them, most of them gather in the square to rest, in addition, the climate of the island country is not bad, the night is not very cold, and the government square has always been patrolled by the police of the island country 24 hours a day, so in addition to their poor sleep, they are also worry-free.
