Chapter 286: The First Vassal State!
Wei Ya laughed in his heart, the battle between the court has never stopped from ancient times to the present, and he knows that the court has been divided into two factions, one is the old aristocratic faction headed by He Qiu, and the other is the three-person faction headed by Meng Ge, these three people are Meng Ge, Winged Bird, and Chongsheng.
Of course, these three people did not form a faction at all, but they had a slightly better relationship, and they were bound by the old aristocratic faction and called them the trio.
"Why impeachment? If there is no reason, then Meng Aiqing may really be suspected of forming a party for personal gain! Wei Li pretended to be cold and said.
Seeing Wei Li's attitude, the hundred officials were a little dumbfounded, dumbfounded and a little excited at the same time, and the king was angry.
The smart He Qiu hurriedly shook his eyes to the rest of the ministers.
The ministers were proud, and the pawn Tian Nan stood up, and bent down to Wei Li with a straight face to make a report: "Your Majesty, the ministers want to impeach Xiangbang for being suspected of forming a party for personal gain, Xiangbang and Jingzhou Taishou are re-promoted, and General Huwei has close contacts with Yiyu, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of rebellion in secret!" ”
"Bang!" Wei Li slapped his palm on the desk, got up angrily and scolded: "Bastard, how can you slander the widow's love and love the minister, is there any evidence?" ”
"Plop!" Tian Nan knelt directly on the ground in fright, his face was pale, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, Weichen.. Wechen has no evidence for the time being."
"Impeachment at will without evidence, is it possible that you will treat the widow as a faint king?" Wei Li's tone was cold, like a cold winter!
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Tian Nan repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"If you have merit, you will be punished for three years, demoted to one level, and if you commit it again next time, go home and farm!" Wei Ya snorted coldly and sat back on the king's chair.
"Yes, yes!" Tian Nan nodded in response, got up and stood back in place, wiping the cold sweat from his head with the placket of his clothes.
Wei Li's murderous aura was so terrifying that one look was enough to make hundreds of officials tremble.
"Meng Aiqing, tell me, what crime Chen Donglai committed, but there must be evidence!" Wei Li's tone softened, and the anger just now disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Meng Ge was a little relieved in his heart, in fact, he was still a little apprehensive just now, worried that the king would believe Tian Nan's nonsense, but now, it can be guaranteed that the king trusts him very much.
"Your Majesty, Chen Donglai is guilty of forcible buying and selling!" Meng Ge bent down to make a report.
When Chen Donglai heard this, he was a little panicked, and all the officials were also a little panicked.
Wei Ya was so astute, he suddenly saw the panic of the hundred officials, and then smiled faintly: "How to buy and sell?" ”
"Wang, there is a small businessman, bought back four six-year-old girls from the north as slaves, sold in Tianjing City, on the same day, Lord Chen and his subordinates were paraded on the street, and accidentally met a small businessman, Lord Chen saw that the four girls were more cute, so he wanted to buy them!"
"The small merchant offered ten taels of silver, but Lord Chen traded for one tael of silver per girl, and the small merchant did not comply, Lord Chen drove his subordinates to beat him, and after the beating, he also put down cruel words and threatened the small businessman, saying, I am an official of the imperial court, and the king is a close minister, if you don't know how to lift, you will be killed in the wilderness!"
"Your Majesty, Lord Chen is an official of the imperial court, holding the position of a doctor, so strong to buy and sell, how do the people of the world view our dynasty, after the small merchant goes home, will he curse the Beijing officials and scold the king for not treating bad ministers?" Meng Ge said with a solemn expression.
Buying and selling slaves is legal in this era, but you need to verify with the government whether you have stolen it, if it is stolen, it is a tooth line, a thousand cuts!
Generally, the family really can't open the pot, so they sell their daughters to businessmen in exchange for money to eat a bowl of hot rice, maybe this is immoral, but in this era of cannibalism, what is this, fortunately, Wei is rich, and there has been no sale of children for the time being.
It is precisely because there are merchants who sell slaves and are hated by the people, resulting in low status.
Shinong Industry and Commerce!
Chen Donglai was stunned, he didn't expect Meng Ge to punish him with this crime.
This crime is really nothing, all officials have committed it, after all, they have been officials for many years, and forced buying and selling has formed a normal psychology in their hearts, and it is precisely because of this that when they heard Meng Ge mention forced buying and selling, all officials panicked.
"Chen Donglai, can you plead guilty?" Wei Li snorted lightly.
"Wechen pleads guilty!" Chen Donglai didn't dare to lie, because at that time on the street, there were many people who heard and saw it, and once he lied, the king would find out if he checked it, and then it would be a crime of bullying the king, which was much more than the crime of buying and selling.
"As a Beijing official, you should clean yourself, set an example, be sympathetic and love the people, buy and sell so strongly, where does my prestige exist, the widow will punish you for ten years, cut off the knighthood, and return the silver taels to the small businessman, if you commit it again in the future, the widow will not be spared, and the civil and military officials will also lead by example, and they must not be committed!" Wei Li said with a solemn expression.
Chen Dong's face is like ashes, ten years is nothing, his family has land and land, and he can't starve to death, but it's very uncomfortable to cut off his knighthood!
Baiguan was a little lucky, fortunately Xiangbang did not impeach me, otherwise I would have been cut down.
"No!" Chen Donglai and all the officials bent down to make a compilation.
"Alright, let's retreat!" Wei Ya waved his hand!
The ministers bent down together to make a compilation and send it off!
After Wei Li left, He Qiu and his party looked at Meng Ge with a little red eyes, and they all thought in their hearts that they would have to plan well when they went back this time.
Time passed slowly, and the days passed.
When Gu Wu, Xia Houde, Gongsun Xin, and Yak Niu received the edict from Wang, they moved the people of Lu and Han to the original Yue Kingdom according to Wei Ya's intentions, and consumed the vitality of Lu and Han.
20th year of Zhengyun, October 20th.
After nearly a month, the old land of Yuebao Chen and the Three Kingdoms was finally liquidated, with a total of 1.3 million li (square kilometers) and 400 acres of fertile land.
The total population is 4 million, plus the 500,000 people who migrated from the two kingdoms of Lu and Han, a total of 4.5 million, of these 4.5 million people, not a single young man or young man, 60 percent of the boys and girls are 13 years old, and 40 percent are men and women over 40 years old.
After swallowing the population, land, and fertile land of these three countries, the territory of Wei soared from 1.2 million square kilometers to 2.55 million square kilometers, with 11 million mu of fertile land and a population of 10 million
Although the population is 10 million, there are few young and strong, except for the 470,000 army of Wei, there are only 200,000 young and strong.
Yue and Baoguo are divided into three states, each covering an area of more than 400,000 square kilometers, respectively, Baozhou, Zizhou, and Pleiades, while Chen is divided into Xuzhou, named and Qiu, and 80,000 troops are stationed here.
Baozhou is located in the southeast of Wei State, bordering Yangzhou, Zizhou is located in the south of Wei State, bordering Baozhou and Luguo, and Pleiades is located in the southwest of Wei State, bordering Zizhou and Han State, Thorn State, and behind the Sanzhou is the Great Mountain.
At the same time, this year also ushered in a bumper harvest, because of the war, the two countries of Yue and Bao did not plant the fertile land, wasted for a year, the harvest was only 6 million acres of land in the Wei State, under the 3000% bonus of the system, the Wei court collected a total of 6 billion stones, and the granaries of the major counties exploded.
