Li Shimin held the board very high, however, the hit was very light, not light!

If similar things across the country have to be thoroughly investigated and dealt with, it is estimated that the country will be in chaos, and there are no clans in that state road! Even if these heroes were forced by Li Shimin's military strength and did not dare to resist with open fire, how could the country be governed after most of the officials of the imperial court were dismissed?

You must know that the current situation is that even if a large number of officials from these families are used, there is still a huge gap in the number of officials in the imperial court.

Therefore, for the problem of dealing with the family, it is still necessary to proceed slowly, although the current conditions are slightly better than before, but it is still immature, only when the education system of Datang is more developed, and there are more people who can be used, can we really start in an all-round way.

Li Shimin's remarks, in addition to the meaning of admonishing the princes of the court, can actually be regarded as using a more tactful method to persuade these local clans who are still using more old-fashioned ways to harm the people and seek benefits, and to change their ways of acting.

With the current prosperity of various industries in Datang, there are not too many ways to make money, and after the Ministry of Commerce launched a nationwide investigation, it was found that there are dozens of large projects that can be developed, which require capital and human investment, why should they always focus on those small people! Investing in the development of new industries and doing business can also make a lot of money!

Then, Li Shimin issued another decree to upgrade Sun Xiangfu's power, officials below the fifth rank directly have the right to recall on the spot, and officials below the seventh rank directly have the right to appoint on the spot, which is equivalent to giving him the same power as the governor of Anbei.

With this power, he can dispose of officials at the state assassin level at will.

Moreover, he also gave Sun Xiangfu an order to comprehensively and thoroughly investigate the corruption and perversion of the law by officials in various states of Shannan Province, and with Zuo Xiaowei's more than 30,000 troops in Jingzhou, he can basically settle all dissatisfaction.

This move made the officials of the family line completely recognize the current situation, that is, those who go along will prosper, and those who go against will die.

If you don't want to die, you have to quickly remedy your mistakes, lest the emperor check Shannan Road today, and then go to Jiangnan Province and Hebei Province tomorrow.

Not to mention these second- and third-rate families, Li Shimin can now uproot even the top families with five surnames and seven families, but he feels that it is not necessary, because the five surnames and seven families are now concentrating their strength to engage in development outside the customs, and what they have done has gradually gotten rid of the low-level interests of pit harm and exploitation of the people, which is beneficial to the court and the people.

The holy decree to Shannan Road, it only takes a few days, Sun Xiangfu has an intelligence team to monitor, to investigate the crimes of these people, don't be too simple, in fact, these states controlled by the family, down to the officials, up to the state assassin history, none of the butts are clean, just one pot is right.

Before Sun Xiangfu started, he first went to order a letter to the money houses in the states, and asked them to close the money villages directly under the pretext of insufficient new money, and then Zuo Xiaowei's army directly entered the city, took down the state assassin history, and all the officials in each department, and escorted them to the yamen of the governor's mansion.

In a state, from the state assassination history downwards, until the officials of the various divisions are being established, there are hundreds of people, all of whom have been imprisoned, the scene is very spectacular, and the prison of the yamen of the great governor's mansion is not enough, because Feng Zhidai has arrested more than 3,000 people and returned.

"Now, that kid from Yu Fang has something to do."

Sun Xiangfu sat in Jingzhou for a rare time, and said after looking at the basic situation of the prisoner.

"If all the officials in several states are arrested, there will be no one to manage the localities, what should I do next?" Feng Zhidai asked Sun Xiangfu, who had returned to the yahall to sit down.

Sun Xiangfu replied, "Let's implement military management for the time being!" Just take all your subordinates out of the field, and it won't be long before Your Majesty will send officials over. ”

Feng Zhidai said again, "Most of the ordinary people in these states have been built by you, and the rest are all local people, so it's hard to care who comes!" ”

Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "You have to believe in the wisdom of our majesty, there are some people who are just right for it at this time." ”

When Feng Zhidai heard this, he quickly understood.

Datang has a group of officials, who are not very fond of these small and medium-sized families, that is, officials from top families such as five surnames and seven families, and send them to come over to rectify these small and medium-sized families, the means are not too simple, after all, they are the originators of playing these routines, and Sun Xiangfu only needs to wait for the results.

"So, what are you going to do with these people?"

"It's easy! If the matter of the main officials is tried clearly, the people below will naturally not be able to keep it, with the relatively lenient laws of our Datang now, when so many people commit crimes collectively, it is impossible to sentence them to death, and they will basically admit their guilt and surrender to the law. We only need to use what we have tried from the agricultural officials of various prefectures as a breakthrough, and the case will be concluded soon, and when Brother Zhidai goes north to Dingxiang, he can help me escort these prisoners to the Shanyang Labor Camp. ”

"So, after your case is decided, I will lead the army to get up and march north."

"Well, after the late rice planting in mid-to-late July, I will also take the representative team from Jingzhou to participate in the big competition to the north, and when the time comes, we will meet again."

In the next few days, Sun Xiangfu was basically in the court in Jingzhou to observe, and sure enough, as he expected, after the first case of several state assassinations was confirmed with ironclad evidence, the people below were basically unable to resist, but more than 3,000 people, one by one, it would take some time, anyway, Sun Xiangfu was not in a hurry, he was waiting for someone to take the initiative to come to the door.

His task is not to convict these criminals and finish the matter, but also to recover the losses caused to the country by these corrupt officials.

Seven days later, when they learned that the newly sent officials from the imperial court were about to take office and the identities of these officials, the families finally couldn't sit still, and several heads of families took boats to the governor's mansion in Jingzhou.

No, no! Without Sun Xiangfu's order, the money village would not have opened the door, and their money in the money village has been in a state of confinement, and they can abandon a small number of officials in the clan, like Huang Fu, as planned, but within each family, it is not a simple matter to maintain the production and life of nearly 100,000 people, and no one will have a good time living without money.

"Old man, Cai Can, patriarch of the Cai clan."

"Huang Clan Patriarch Huang Xu."

"Kuai Zhao, the patriarch of the Kuai clan."

"Deng Hong, the patriarch of the Deng clan."

"Liu Qing, the patriarch of the Liu clan."

"I've seen the ······ of the Grand Boss"

Seeing a few of the main masters who bowed down, Sun Xiangfu hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth, raised his hand to signal them to be exempt, and said, "What are you looking for this official for?" ”

Because of his age, Cai Can was still pushed as a representative by several companies, and stepped forward and replied, "I would like to ask the governor to order the opening of the money banks in the states and counties where we are located, so that the money can be operated and circulated, and the local business can operate normally." ”

Sun Xiangfu expected them to say this early on, and said directly, "This is a little difficult to do, Your Majesty has a decree to order this official to thoroughly investigate the corruption cases in the states of Shannan Province and recover the money damaged by the imperial court. Cai Qiang, the agricultural official on the Caizhou side, and other states, the amount of money involved in any one person's case was as high as 200,000 yuan, and they insisted that they had spent the money they had embezzled, where did they spend it? The official wants to investigate and recover! ”

"You can't ······ the money of the entire state just because of a few convicts."

"To correct it, it's not a few convicts, it's thousands of convicts, a state, there are hundreds of people, and the total amount involved is as high as millions of yuan, far more than all the deposits in the current states combined.

All the adult accounts in various states have been turned over, isn't it just millions of guan, and there are no millions of guans in a state's money bank, so Sun Xiangfu didn't give Cai Can's old guy face at all, and interrupted him.

The situation is not strong, Old Man Cai and the patriarchs of several other families were a little depressed when they heard this, they never thought that the money bank, liquidity, would be so related to their vital interests, once the large registered deposit notes of their families could not be used in the market, all the industries of their families could not carry out large-scale transactions with the outside world.

You must know that the merchants of Datang basically recognize money, and their news is very well-informed, the purpose of the suspension of business in the money bank is to check the accounts of several of them, even if they are open for business, these registered deposit tickets cannot be used, in this case, who is willing to do business with them, even if there is, they should also want to take the opportunity to take advantage of them.

Several patriarchs can abandon a group of people who are pushed to the foreground, but they can't suppress the entire clan, the backlash of tens of thousands of clansmen, there is no livelihood, all the clansmen will make them these patriarchs, they may still be loyal to the family, but they may not be loyal to the patriarch who is now in charge, because this patriarch can't solve their problems well.

"Chief Administrator, there are indeed some corrupt officials and corrupt officials under my family, but because of this, the money and property of my entire clan in the Qian Zhuang have been imprisoned, causing hundreds of thousands of people to suffer, what is the difference between this and sitting together······?"

Cai Can had to say more, but Sun Xiangfu interrupted him again and said, "These people, who are the beneficiaries of these people's corrupt acts, you and I know very well, the national interests stolen by them cannot be lost in vain, and the people who were harmed by them must be repaid justice, this official sees you today because you are the local clan elders, if you clan elders do not have justice in their hearts, this official sees you, it is also a waste of time, before the case is investigated clearly, this state of suspension of business and asset imprisonment, It will always be maintained, as clan elders, you should go back earlier and urge the clansmen to farm and produce and support yourself! ”

'Farming? 'The family is strong, if you only rely on farming to produce, how can it grow to today's situation, now, the price of grain in Datang is only a few tens of pennies and a stone, farming, what kind of money can you earn? Let all the clansmen, like those ordinary people, rely on tired farming, barely getting enough food and clothing, they don't want to, if they don't want to, these people can't be the patriarch.

But it was still the same sentence, the situation was not strong, they could only bow their heads and admit it, after hearing Sun Xiangfu's eviction order, several people hurriedly made eye contact, or Cai Can spoke, "How can the chief manager let go of the restrictions on me and other clans, please make it clear." ”
