Chapter 646: After the War (Part II)
Youzhou, that is, the original Liao State Nanjing Xijin Mansion, but now occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, it has also restored the original name of Youzhou, and even some people in the court proposed to make Youzhou the Beijing of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Beijing of the Great Song Dynasty is the Daimyo Mansion, located in the area of Hebei Daming County in later generations.
The Daimyofu is also a huge city, although it is not as large as Bianliang in Tokyo, but the population has reached one million, and it is also the largest city in Hebei, but later the Daimyofu was flooded by the river and sunk under the river sand, and later generations have not been able to excavate it.
In contrast, although Youzhou is also a famous city, but under the rule of the Liao State, it is far from being able to compare with the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, and the population of the entire Youzhou did not exceed 500,000 at its peak, and it cannot be compared with the Daimyo Mansion in terms of economy, transportation, politics, etc., so the matter of moving the capital of Beijing has also been temporarily shelved, but with the development of Youzhou in the future, it may still be possible to move the capital, after all, the geographical location of Youzhou is too important.
In today's Youzhou City, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty have already settled in, each yamen performs its own duties, and the whole city has resumed normal operation, and even the garrisons have been withdrawn outside the city, leaving only a few thousand garrisons in the city, and some of the yamen recruited by each yamen, squad leaders, etc.
However, today's Youzhou City has suddenly become a little rioty, Youzhou Chengbei District, here is the residential area where the rich and noble in the city gather, more than ninety percent of the powerful people in the city live here, which also leads to the gathering of mansions in this area, and in the middle of the northern area, is the original palace of the Liao Emperor.
"Break the door!" Han Qi gave an order with a calm face, and the soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward with a log, and then slammed it against the sturdy copper-clad gate in front of him.
"Woohoo!" In just three clicks, this seemingly solid copper-clad gate was smashed open, and the house slaves at the top of the door inside were also exclaimed, as the gate was knocked open, many people were shocked and fell to the ground, and then the Song soldiers behind rushed in, and all those who dared to resist were killed on the spot.
Don't look at Youzhou has long been taken by the Great Song Dynasty, but there are still many Khitan nobles in the city who didn't have time to escape, and later the Great Song Dynasty blocked the first line of the Great Wall, which was more like closing the door and beating the dogs, so that they had no way to retreat, and they had no choice but to stay at home, of course, they also had a luxury in their hearts, that is, they hoped that the Great Song Dynasty would ignore the existence of these people.
However, the extravagant hopes of these people were shattered today, because Han Qi had no intention of letting go of these people at all, such as the mansion in front of him, its owner was surnamed Xiao, and he was also a brother of the same clan who was very close to Xiao Yunjin, this guy was extremely greedy, and he relied on Xiao Yunjin's power to seize and annex land in Youzhou, and within a radius of hundreds of miles in Youzhou, almost one-tenth of the land belonged to this guy.
The Great Song Dynasty conquered the sixteen states of Yanyun, and now it is time to govern these places, but after the war, the food and materials of the entire Yanyun are exhausted, and the state government needs money to govern, and the Great Wall in the north also needs money to be rebuilt, and if you want to stabilize the place, the problem of land annexation also needs to be solved.
In the face of the above problems, Han Qi naturally turned his attention to those old nobles of the Liao State who controlled a large amount of land, and they didn't move these people before because they had just laid down Yanyun, so everything was based on stability, but now that they had gained a firm foothold in Yanyun, they naturally had to solve these hidden dangers.
Therefore, in this case, Han Qi personally ordered to attack the old nobles of Liao in the state capitals, and the confiscated family property could enrich the treasury, and the land under their names could also be recovered, and then the land would be distributed to the people for cultivation, which could buy people's hearts and stabilize the local situation, which could be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
Thinking of the above, Han Qi's originally gloomy face also showed a little smile, and at this time, the officers and soldiers had already broken through the heavy obstacles in the mansion and quickly controlled the Xiao Mansion.
"Let go! Let me go! What are you going to do? At this moment, I saw a big fat man with gray hair being escorted out by officers and soldiers, this guy's name is Xiao Jili, who is also Xiao Yunjin's cousin, and he is also the head of the Xiao Mansion.
"Xiao Zhuli, you fish and flesh the people, rampant in the township, the officials of the Liao State did not dare to ask, but now this is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and today is the day you surrender to the law!" Han Qi said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression at this time, although what he said was the truth, but for him, justice for the people was only incidental, and the most important thing was the property in this Xiao Li.
"You...... You can't do this, I'm a descendant of Da Liao, I'm ......"
Xiao Zhili was also frightened when he heard this, and even instinctively wanted to use his identity to suppress people as before, but unfortunately, before he finished speaking, Han Qi directly waved his hand to interrupt his words, and then the officers and soldiers on both sides escorted him down.
Immediately followed by an inventory of Xiao Zhili's property, a big nobleman like him, the wealth of the family can definitely be called a rich country, although Han Qi had expected it before, but when he saw the gold and silver treasures brought out of the warehouse, as well as various antiques, jade, coral and other treasures, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.
Especially in the end, from a Buddhist hall next to Xiao Zhili's bedroom, I actually found a statue of white jade Guanyin, Liao people believe in Buddhism, and usually worship the most Guanyin, so many nobles have Guanyin statues in their homes, especially like this white jade Guanyin, which is sought after by everyone of the aristocracy.
It's just that this white jade Guanyin is too big, it looks like it is life-size, and the whole body is carved with white jade, there is no half impurities, and the carving is also exquisite, such a huge white jade Guanyin statue can be called a priceless treasure, and even Han Qi suspects that the Liao Imperial Palace may not have such a treasure.
"These Khitans are really rich!" Looking at this statue of the white jade Guanyin that was carried out, Han Qi couldn't help but sigh, but although this white jade Guanyin is good, it can't be exchanged for money, because a national treasure like this will definitely be sent back to the capital and hidden in the treasure house of the palace, I believe Zhao Zhen will definitely like it very much.
Similar to Xiao Fu, this kind of drama of copying the house was also staged in various cities in the sixteen states of Yanyun, with local officials and garrisons as the main force, and the remnants of the Khitan people were swept away at one time, and in this cleanup, not only the Khitans were unlucky, but also many different magnates who were attached to the Liao State, such as some Han landlords in various places and so on.
Of course, in this kind of purge, of course, there were also a lot of riots and rebellions, after all, these people are rich and manable, so they are naturally unwilling to be captured, but in the face of the garrison of the Great Song Dynasty, their resistance is also very powerless, especially even Yelu Zongzhen's army was defeated, which made many people die early.
