The entire Lintong County Ya immediately fell into a roar of chickens, flying dogs, and wailing.

All the businessmen who didn't have time to run were quickly captured in front of Yu Linwei's gun halberd, tied up with five flowers, and were escorted to Zhang Yue.

Such as a forest's spear halberd, a bright sword.

Everyone was trembling and trembling.

"You are really bold...... Zhang Yue flicked his sleeves and snorted softly: "Even the country's public land dares to make up your mind!" ”

The backbone of the businessmen in front of the sword is even inferior to that of the bureaucrats.

In an instant, it was a begging for mercy.

"Forgive sins, forgive sins!" Everyone kowtowed together: "We are all good businessmen, law-abiding subjects, just for the Lintong officials to bewitch, the desire for profit is consumed, so we make mistakes, and hope for mercy in the service......"

"Heh......" Zhang Yue laughed angrily, is there such a creature as a law-abiding merchant in this world?

Well, maybe?

But it certainly won't be here.

Because......

The merchants who appeared here were not so much merchants as the white gloves of the nobles of Chang'an.

After careful investigation, Zhang Yue was sure that he would definitely find that these people were either relatives of a certain noble relative, or a retainer of a certain noble relative.

To put it bluntly, they are puppets, an extension of the power of the nobles.

It is the tentacles of power that penetrates into the people.

"Law-abiding subjects?" Zhang Yue chuckled: "You wait for a cheap businessman, and you are also worthy of calling yourself a 'subject'?" ”

In the eyes of today's scholars, there is no distinction between good and bad businessmen.

All businessmen are all badasses!

Just as they divide Yidi.

There is no distinction between good Yidi and bad Yidi, all Yidi are treated equally, and they are all 'born of non-neutralizing qi and cannot be transformed by etiquette', and they are completely unworthy of rescue.

On the issue of merchants, the Confucian scholars went further and more radically.

After all, Yidi or something, many people may never see it in their lifetime, and they can only imagine their badness in their minds.

But the bad of the merchant is indeed in front of their eyes.

These scum, in pursuit of profits, disrupt and disrupt the local order, so that the people can move and no longer be attached to the land.

What's even more terrifying is that these people put all the beauty and morality in the world on the shelves and sell them publicly.

Even the teachings of the saints and the rituals of the clans could be discarded by the merchants for the sake of profit.

As a result, the whipping of businessmen became the mainstream.

I think that at the beginning, when Yang Ke played and sued, at first, the entire world of scholars and doctors raised their limbs and shouted wildly, 'Yang Duwei 666, Yang Duwei did a good job, kill those profiteers who are rich and unkind!' ’。

It wasn't until the accusation expanded and hurt the interests of these people themselves that they realized that something seemed wrong, and turned to attack and question Yang Ke.

Despite this, the scholars still despised and tried their best to belittle the merchants.

Because the contradiction between them and the businessmen is a class contradiction.

The hostility of one class to another.

As a former civil servant, Zhang Yue is already familiar with how to use class contradictions, and he knows how to play with his eyes closed.

Therefore, Zhang Yue said these words completely naturally, and it is politically correct!

Since the Qin Dynasty, the merchant group has been put into an alternative.

In the hierarchy of the state system, the social status of merchants was theoretically only higher than that of slaves, prisoners, and sons-in-law.

I think that at the beginning, Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall and Chidao, which was to pick merchants, sons-in-law, and prisoners, treat them as consumables, and consume them without mercy.

Relatively speaking, it may be that the Qin Empire will still have warmth and humanity towards slaves and maids.

After all, the slave maid is just from a bad background, and it can be saved.

Businessmen, sons-in-law, and criminals are not even qualified to be saved!

When all the merchants listened, they all bowed their heads and said, "The villain is guilty, guilty!" ”

In front of the butcher's knife, even if it is a family with tens of millions of people, he is as powerless as a puppet.

There was no way, they had to confess the master behind them.

"The servant is above, please allow the villain to be polite, although the villain is a merchant and is listed in the market, but the villain is a ...... for XX to do things" These businessmen rushed forward and shouted the name of their master.

There was no way, they knew that if they didn't carry their master out, it was likely that the lieutenant on the other side would directly order them to be cut off on the spot, and their heads would be hung on the city wall for public display.

As businessmen, they know very well that in front of a real powerful minister, there is no difference between a family and a commoner.

It may even stimulate the killing psychology of the other party.

Under the Han political system, killing merchants and executing civilians were two different things.

The former, kill it, kill it.

No one will ask, and no one will even come to check it.

In the eyes of public opinion, the businessmen are treated the same as Yidi in the distance.

Dead is dead, what's the big deal?

On the contrary, it is the civilians, and the officials have to think about whether they will have a reputation for indiscriminate killing of innocents when they make judgments.

There are some scruples, and they usually show mercy because they cherish their feathers.

For example, when Zhao Yu, the late imperial historian, was serving as a court lieutenant, he often rehabilitated, commuted, and even directly forgave civilians who committed crimes.

Zhang Yue listened to the chaotic confessions of these people, stretched out his hand slightly, and plucked out his ears.

These people don't say it, Zhang Yue can also know who the master behind them is.

Saying it is nothing more than putting the things in the dark on the surface.

But......

Zhang Yue turned his head and looked at the scholars behind him, and when he saw the looks of these people, he nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

Things have developed so far, and they have gone smoothly beyond imagination.

He turned around, waved his hand and ordered: "Arrest them all, let them write their confessions, and then send them to Chang'an and hand them over to Tingweiqing!" ”

"No!" The golden reward held the Son of Heaven Festival and received the order to worship.

He came with him, and that's what he did.

Now this situation makes him so excited that it is difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.

In front of these businessmen, there is a noble relative standing behind each of them.

In normal times, even his father is afraid that he can't help them.

But now......

These people are just lambs to the slaughter and political achievements.

None of them, nor the magnates behind them, can escape!

Today is very short of money, especially lack of money.

The families of these more than ten businessmen and the powerful people behind them add up to at least 350,000.

And with such a meritorious service, it is already a certainty that he will go one step further and become a servant.

Stepping on the corpses of powerful people to ascend to the throne, this is the fastest way for the nobles of the Han family to be promoted!

Zhang Yue held his hand, held the sword of Yao, and walked slowly forward, walking towards the county government of Lintong County.

It is really cool to kill the superstructure of the entire Lintong government at one time.

But when it's over, it's time to clean up the mess.

"Zhi Jinwu, please come in and talk to me......" Zhang Yue turned his head to Yu Jiyan, who had been in the audience, and said.

From the beginning of leaving Chang'an City, Zhang Yue has already determined a principle: this time, the destruction is only incidental, and the main thing is construction.

From Lintong to Huxian, it is like a long snake array.

It also happens to be a complete Gyeonggi Economic Circle.

With the help of this destruction, the main purpose is to rebuild an efficient bureaucratic system, revitalize local resources, make comprehensive use of them, and lay the foundation for the future Gyeonggi Economic Circle.
