In the fourth year of Yonghui (653 AD), February 20, three o'clock in the afternoon.

The old house of the Du family on Jinhua Avenue is a busy scene, crowded with people, and the house raiding action is in full swing. The officials were all professional, did not let go of any corners, even the toilets were carefully checked, the belongings were gathered in the courtyard, and more than a dozen scribes counted and made books.

The bodyguard sent the Taishi chair, and Wu Kang crossed Erlang's legs, comfortably bathing in the afternoon sun. Six doglegs stood on both sides, the dog-headed military division Lao Su, two were in charge of affairs, and three were in the military. Lao Su is a private staff, and the other five are direct subordinates who joined the army.

Jiang Daniu just reported that all the men of the Du family, male slaves and maids, regardless of age and age, were all beheaded and abandoned to the market. This is an act of extermination, and no one collects their bodies. Wu Kang was kind-hearted and ordered the prison Cheng Lao Qin to be dragged to the mass grave in Beieashan Mountain for burial.

In the open space in front of the Taishi chair, the daughters of the Du family knelt in pieces, hanging their heads and shedding tears. There are a few good postures, pear blossoms with rain are pitiful, Wu Kang pondered for a moment, and instructed Zhao Lushi: "They don't dare to run away, go loosen the ties, and take down the gag cloth." ”

Zhao Lushi promised to leave and found a servant to carry it out. Wu Kang got up, came to the front row of the female dependent, coughed dryly twice and was about to speak, Jiang Daniu came into view. Old Jiang smiled chrysanthemums on his face, two scribes followed, and four bad people carried the Hu bed and put two large boxes on it.

The table was placed on the ground, and the big bull smiled and carefully unpacked the box. Jewels are eye-catching, all kinds of jewelry and jewelry, high-end atmosphere and grade. This is a bit interesting, Wu Kang took a step and looked at it: it was made of pure gold, the seven gems were in the shape of plum blossoms, and the quail egg in the middle was the size of a crystal clear sapphire.

The so-called step shake is the highest status in the jewelry industry, inlaid with precious stones, all kinds of bells and whistles. Worn on the head, every step is taken, and the top is swaying piecemeal, hence the name step shake. Among the harem concubines, only the queen is eligible to wear them. This one in front of me is quite valuable, and the Du family is quite generous.

Da Niu snorted and shouted: "This step shake is very familiar, oh think about it, isn't this lost by the ninth lady?" A few years ago, the nine ladies and maidservants reported the case, saying that they had lost Qibao Busha, this is it! Sanjiao, do you say no? You were there at the time. ”

"Huh? Yes, yes, I'm also there", this one also played well, and said indignantly: "Damn the Du family, dare to steal and assassinate Shifu, how bold is it!" Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and we can also make a difference. ”

Zhao Lushi hurriedly made a look, and the scribe quickly flipped through the account book, and crossed out the seven treasures with a pen. Wu Kang smiled and said nothing, since you want to practice acting, I will accompany you to the end. picked up a jade bracelet again, and played with it.

Da Niu hurriedly shouted: "This is lost by the lady who smokes, and she is also looking for me to report the case." ”

The ledger was flipped again, and the scribe waved his pen and crossed out the Hetian white jade bracelet.

Wu Kang pulled the treasure chest, pulled out a rectangular wooden box, and was stunned when he opened it, and there was a heavy gasp around him. Three light green round gemstones, in the form of regular spheres, the size of eggs.

The veteran Qi muttered in his ear, thinking that it might be the pearl of the night. Wu Kang became interested, put the box in front of him, and slowly closed the lid. Through the gaps, it really emits a faint green light, and it is really a night pearl. Legend has it that this thing is a special fluorite?

Carefully recall the mind and retrieve the fluorite information. Fluorite mines, which were very common ore in later generations, were formed in connection with volcanic eruptions and were widely used as ornaments. I remember an archaeological program where fluorite carved antlers were unearthed. Experts say that it is the Neolithic Age, the ornaments of the Hemudu people, and they do not know whether they are true or false. Experts also say that the so-called night pearl is a special fluorite.

Wu Kang consulted information for this purpose to understand the history of fluorite. The ancient Egyptians used it to make statues, and the Romans used it to make wine cups and vases, and it was popular among the upper nobility.

I have a roommate in college who has a fluorite mine at home, and he talks a lot about the role of fluorite. For example, making camera lenses, various concave and convex lenses, making exquisite crafts, catalysts for steelmaking, and so on.

Recalling this, I couldn't help but constrict my pupils, my roommate was from Wuyi County, Jinhua City, that is, Yongkang County, Wuzhou. It's a little interesting, is it possible that there is a fluorite layer in my one-third of an acre?

If there is, it will definitely make a fortune. It's not good for us to be ambitious, and we don't consider all kinds of lenses, steelmaking is always okay, right? Carving crafts is always possible, right?

As the saying goes, if there is food at home, there is no panic in your heart, there are mines in the jurisdiction, and the official robe has changed. Minerals are leading enterprises, driving economic growth, and promotion and wealth are just around the corner.

Find time to hook up with Lao Wei, and send Shiya miners to Yongkang County to explore. The more obscene he became, the more excited he became, and when he saw the big guy's eyes shining, he consciously rummaged through the ledger and crossed out the three night pearls.

Wu Kang came back to his senses and saw that their faces were full of greed, and their saliva was pouring out. Suddenly I don't get angry, and there is no interesting thing, and it is embarrassing to see what is there?

Coughing violently twice, he put the step shake, jade bracelet and night pearl back into the treasure chest. Closing the lid of the treasure chest, his fingers tapping rhythmically, releasing his righteous qi and scanning everyone sharply.

The doglegs were dumbfounded, and soon bowed their heads in shame, and the big bull patted the ass: "Wu Gong is honest and honest, and his two sleeves are comparable to Cui Thorn History, and he is really a model for my generation." All the belongings of the Du family should be confiscated, and the subordinates should be convinced..."

"One Hundred Push-ups"

The big bull was stunned, and when he saw the big guy murderous, he was so frightened that he shrank his neck, and quickly found a place to lie down, doing push-ups several times. Xu Sanjiao snorted, quickly covered his mouth, and looked at the big cow gloating. You are a deflated calf, you don't have a clever tongue, don't slap the horse's ass, slap the horse's leg.

Wu Kang was full of righteousness, his fingers tapped on the treasure chest, and his eyes locked on the scribe. The latter felt murderous, his eyes couldn't help dodging, and he shouted for help in his heart. The murderous aura is getting stronger and stronger, and the scrivener's head is sweating, what's wrong with the big guy?

Suddenly, his head buzzed, as if he thought of something, and the pen in his hand was thrown on the ground, and he quickly flipped through the ledger. The "tearing" sound was heard seven times, and seven bills were torn off. He shoved the ledger into his arms, shredded the bills, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Grabbed by the wrist, Wu Kang snatched the paper ball and stuffed it into his pocket. Pat the scribe on the shoulder, you kid has a future, follow the big guy in the future, eat fragrant and drink spicy. Turning his head to look at Zhao Lushi, he said lightly: "The rats are so annoying, they bite everything, and the boxes where the books are stored at home are all bitten." ”

Zhao Lushi straightened his waist in an instant, and gave orders to the scribe: "You two, find a few more people, and send these two broken boxes to the Wugong Mansion." It's all a little bit of a snip, if the rat bites the official document, can you afford it? ”

Hula more than a dozen people, shouting and lifting the treasure chest. Wu Kang thought of something, shouted to stop, opened the lid of the box, and came out with a golden hairpin. Let go of the palm, ten layers of red gold, and nodded with satisfaction. He opened the night pearl box again, took a hand-free palm, and motioned for the messenger to leave.

Jiang Da Niu finished doing push-ups and licked his face. Wu Kang glanced at him, handed over the golden hairpin and the night pearl, and commanded in a low voice: "Give the things to Xiucai, he knows how to deal with them." ”

"Don't worry, Wu Gong, I will definitely send it to Qin Niang", the words stopped abruptly, and the big cow sweated like rain, and he couldn't wait to slap his mouth. The mad man stared at him, and said with a bitter face for a long time: "It was Xiucai who said it drunk, it's none of my business... Rest assured, it was just the two of us at the time. ”

Wu Kang's face was full of warmth, he took the golden hairpin night pearl, beckoned Xu Sanjiao to come over, and ordered in a low voice: "You go to the company and hand it over to Xiucai to deal with." In addition, all his bonuses this year have been deducted. Let him run three laps around Wuzhou City, and you will personally supervise it. Don't be idle, big cow, do another hundred push-ups. ”

Jiang Da Niu has nothing to love, looking for a place where no one can admit punishment. Xu Sanjiao also had a bitter face, Xiucai, who killed a thousand knives, what did you do, even Nai Weng ran with him.

Sending the two away, Zhang Lushi hurriedly ran over and presented thick documents. Wukang viewed page by page, it is the Dujiatian deed and the house deed. After looking through more than 20 photos, I finally smiled, it is really a good land. The following land deeds are all illegal annexations by the Du family, and the deeds are all signed.

handed over those belonging to the Du family to Zhang Senjun for confiscation. Sitting on the Taishi chair again, about half an hour, he finally found Xu Erniu and beckoned Jiang Daniu to come over. When Da Niu saw the signature, he understood what was going on, and he didn't dare to say more nonsense, so he turned around and left directly.

The rest of the title deeds are pocketed and pondered what to do with them. It is unrealistic to eat alone, it is not advisable to share it equally with colleagues, and it is not appropriate to return things to their original owners. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to become a big landlord first. The original owner of the title deed will be the tenant first, and within two years, he will return it to you in batches and one by one.

Zhang Lushi brought the account book again, and saluted and reported: "Wu Gong Rongyu, the inventory of the Du family's property has been completed, please take a look." ”

I took the ledger and saw the first page of data, and I couldn't help but hehe. It is said that a broken family is worth 10,000 yuan, but how much is a giant room worth? I'm envious. shook his head disdainfully, and suddenly heard someone outside the courtyard shouting: "This official is a household to join the military, and there is an official business to meet the military and join the army, why stop it?" ”

The reprimand is righteous and strict, and he yells so loudly, who do you want to hear? Wu Kang scoffed, this old fox is definitely not good. The younger brothers were afraid that they wouldn't be able to stop it, so they ordered Liu, who joined the military, to move a Taishi chair again.

In less than three minutes, Lao Sun rushed over. When he had done enough to do the etiquette, Wu Kang greeted him with a smile, beckoned him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, Lao Sun, my subordinates are not sensible, I will teach them a lesson later." Oh yes, what's the matter with you? ”

"Don't tell lies in front of real people", Lao Sun swept the boxes around him and said disdainfully: "Erlang, you also know the rules, the property copied by the Du family must be registered and reported to the imperial court." Copper coins and cloths were handed over to the state treasury for confiscation, and cattle, horses, and livestock were handed over to the warehouse. ”

Wu Kang agreed, first complimented him, and opened the account book: "Cattle, horses and livestock are being counted, and the results will be available soon." The statistics of copper coins and cloths have been completed, with a total of 851 copper coins and 420 texts; 430 pieces of silk cloth, 102 pieces of silk, and 55 pieces of fine silk. ”

What about sending Hanako? The biggest squire in Wuzhou, just copy such a thing? Lao Sun was sitting in a precarious position, and persuaded bitterly: "Erlang, you can't become a fat man by eating in one bite." Don't talk about this data, Uncle I, Cui Gong and the court don't believe it, don't look too ugly. ”

Wu Kang pondered for a moment, felt a little reasonable, rolled his eyes and smiled: "I'm sorry, uncle, you also know that I didn't sleep well yesterday." I'll take a closer look... A total of 1,851 copper coins were confiscated this time, not to mention the fraction. ”

Sun Mao let out two more hehes, like a shrewd old fox, and lowered his voice and laughed: "Didn't sleep well last night?" I think I slept soundly. About ten days ago, a husband and wife in the north of the city were reconciled and separated, and they came to the household to divide the household registration for the record. The head of the household seems to be surnamed Xu, what is the name of the cow, does Erlang have an impression? ”

Wu Kangdeng was dumbfounded, you old fox, shameless, right? resisted the urge to smoke him, but he didn't smile: "Uncle said that he was joking, household registration is a matter of household office, of course the official is not impressed." Look at it again, a total of 3,851 copper coins were confiscated. 530 pieces of silk cloth, 202 pieces of silk, and 80 pieces of fine silk. ”

Sun Mao still had the same face as he was beaten, and said with a smile: "Uncle heard that because of Lu Liuniang, Jiu Niangzi demolished your house?" The two of us are not angry, I am afraid of the nine ladies of the Cui family. The uncompetitive one in my family hid when he saw her. Uncle couldn't imagine that Erlang and Cao Mengde still have common hobbies. ”

"I said Lao Sun, it's almost enough", Wu Kang's nose was crooked, and he got up and snorted.

Lao Sun was not afraid, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and stroked his beard leisurely.

Wu Kang took a deep breath, looked at the daughter of the Du family, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "What do you mean, Old Sun, accusing me of being greedy?" Although we know each other very well, I will sue you for slander! Besides, I have dozens of times in a quarter of an hour, will I care about the Du family's cow hair? Take the ledger! ”

Sun Mao smiled, and the moment he reached out to take the account book, Wu Kang raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, there is no free lunch in the world... In this way, I want the household registration of the Du family's wife and concubine, as well as the slave registration of the maidservant. ”

With such a strange request, Sun Mao was really stunned, and after a while, he made a lewd face: "This is no problem, as long as Erlang eats it, my uncle will give it to you." ”

Lao Sun snatched the account book, and continued in his arms: "But Erlang, don't go too far, there are ninety-eight female dependents of the Du family, and they will be assigned to the officials and maids. If you stay too much, Sun will have an opinion. ”

This makes sense, Wu Kang also knows the severity, and he also understands at this moment that the money from the family cannot be embezzled. If you embezzle the water of the big river, it will cause your colleagues to be unhappy, and it will definitely attract jealousy and hatred, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Thinking about this, I respectfully sent Sun Mao away. instructed the bad people to guard the gate, and Zhao Lao Su instructed: "Go and inform the three guards of the legal office, and then go to the Shengshi company to gather those single dogs." said that the official issued benefits in February, and each person rewarded a daughter-in-law. ”

Lao Su was stunned on the spot, what kind of dog is a single dog, and what kind of thing is a daughter-in-law? When I got an explanation, I was confused again, figured out what the big guy meant, and went to the scene with joy.

Wu Kang came to the female dependents and changed his gentle tone: "Get up, raise your head." ”

The girls are very well-behaved, Wu Kang inspected them one by one, and the quality is still there. After pondering for a moment, he said lightly: "The Du family colluded with Princess Gaoyang to rebel, and has been punished by the Ming Dynasty. If you are enslaved, you will either be reduced to officials and maids, or you will be reduced to the church. You should understand what an official maid workshop is! ”

The team sobbed instantly, and their voices were suppressed. The so-called officials and maids are officials and slaves, which are more pitiful than private ones. According to Wu Kang's understanding, most of the officials and maids in Wuzhou were concentrated in the warehouse and engaged in high-intensity manual labor, such as silkworm raising, weaving, and planting official fields. There is not enough food and clothing, no one cares about the disease, and the mortality rate is very high.

If the official maid is physical torture, the teaching workshop is mental torture. In the workshop are official prostitutes, and prostitutes who serve officials are enshrined. Large families were raided, and their wives and concubines and daughters, including slave girls and maidservants, would enter the church and become official prostitutes.

This kind of cheating institution, founded by the Guan Zhong of the Spring and Autumn Qi State, went through the entire feudal society until the Manchu Qing Dynasty abolished. Take the Wuzhou Workshop to say that the reception of foreign officials, or colleagues gatherings, most of them go to the workshop, accompanied by beauties and completely free.

Wu Kang secretly thought that everyone wanted to be an official, and there was also this reason. The welfare of officials in the Tang Dynasty was very good, and he was an eight-rank official, earning 37 yuan a year, which was the income of ordinary people for half a lifetime. In addition, there are 250 acres of vocational land, which the state allows you to plant for free without charging any field rent.

In addition to material treatment, there is also privileged treatment. Officials above the ninth grade can use money to atone for their sins. Those below the penalty of exile include flogging, caning, and imprisonment, and the price is clearly marked with copper atonement. Officials above the seventh grade, and their immediate family members who commit crimes, can also spend money to atone for their crimes.

When the crying became smaller, Wu Kang's heart returned to his shell and went straight to the topic: "There are thirty people under me, and they have not married a wife for various reasons, or they have left their wives and lived in widowhood. When they come, they will choose from among you to be wives. ”

This was a lifesaver, and the cry disappeared in an instant. Wu Kang continued: "You heard it right, it's the wife that Ming Media is marrying. As long as you are selected by my brothers, you will be given the status of a lover and marry my brothers. Of course, if the selected person does not agree, the official will not force it. ”

The last sentence is nonsense, and if you can get out of the sea of suffering, a fool will not agree. Zhang Lushi leaned over and whispered softly: "Wu Gong Rongyu, this is not in harmony with the law, if it spreads, it will be bad for you!" ”

Wu Kang smiled and said nothing, as a judicial soldier, he knew that this was a crime. However, I have done too much criminal behavior, so there is no need to worry about it. Wuzhou officialdom is monolithic, and there are basically no political enemies. Even if there is, they will not make a fuss about it, and officials have done it nine times out of ten.

Zhang Lushi stopped talking, went to communicate with the bad guards, dispersed the idle people, etc., and strictly guarded the gate. About half an hour, the single dog came, and when he learned about the benefits of the big guy, he jumped and jumped for joy, and bowed to the big guy.

They have a bad reputation, and bad people, officials, and jailers are all the targets of scolding. The daughters of normal families will not marry them unless they have to. And to his surprise, there were no bodyguards among the single dogs, and the predecessors were all ruffians.

Qian Shun came over quietly to clear the boss's doubts. Since the establishment of Shengshi Security, the ruffians have been co-opted, and they have a legitimate job and a high salary. In this case, the tide will rise immediately, and more than a dozen single dogs will all be engaged.

When Lao Sun's people came, the blind date activity began. The first single dog was lucky and picked the daughter of the Du family, but he still didn't leave the cabinet. But this kid was so happy that he pulled the woman to make a big salute.

Wu Kang had a smile on his face, and with a fake encouragement, he asked the scribe to pick the household registration and set a brazier to destroy it. The household office personnel write the paper, re-compile the household registration, and stamp the official seal of the household office. The lucky eldest lady became someone else's bride and came to earth from hell.

Wu Kang is very pleased, and the gratitude of his subordinates is the cornerstone of a firm foothold. The newcomer to the judiciary joins the army, if you go against the tune, Lao Tzu will empty you. Master Bai Yang once said that to subdue the people, only ten acres of land and a daughter-in-law are needed. It's almost the same to subdue the low-level officials...
