Xiling, the throat of the Yangtze River waterway. It is the dividing point between the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Politics, economics, and military affairs are all of the utmost importance.

Bujia, deeply cultivated in Xiling for 30 years. It is the soil emperor of the entire Xiling. In the fields around Xiling, the Bu family accounts for more than seventy percent. There are countless estates under his control, and he controls a population of no less than 100,000.

For decades, the Bu family has relied on the strong support of the whole family in the Eastern Wu court and has been firmly in the official position of governor of Xiling. After the fall of the whole family, he quickly hooked up with Puyangxing and continued to maintain his control of Xiling. However, after the fall of Puyangxing, the Bu family suddenly found that their family was becoming more and more isolated in the political system of Eastern Wu......

At the beginning of the second year of Ganlu (265), the Eastern Wu Imperial Court issued an order to strictly investigate the hidden population in various places and strictly implement the relevant regulations on household tax.

In March, the Wu family, based in Qiantang in Wu County, was fired for the first time.

The founder of this family is Wu Jing, the uncle of Sun Ce and Sun Quan. In the early years, Sun Ce crossed the river to create a foundation, and Wu Jing helped him. It can be regarded as one of the founding heroes of the Soochow regime. It's a pity that Wu Jing died early later, two grandsons, one Wu An followed closely with Sun Ba, the king of Lu, and looked for trouble with Sun He all day long, and later when Sun Quan killed Sun Ba, he was also cut down incidentally. And the other grandson Wu Yan was even more miserable, he finally escaped the Nanlu party struggle and survived Sun Quan. As a result, Sun Jun killed Teng Yin, and he, as Teng Yin's son-in-law, was also beheaded. The Wu family declined and completely withdrew from the mainstream political arena of Eastern Wu.

In any case, the Wu family is the founding hero of Eastern Wu. Over the generations, it's a big business. In the entire Qiantang County, there is a small Yicheng land that belongs to the Wu family. And the current head of the Wu family is Wu Jing's great-grandson Wu Jia, and his official position is only a county order. Tsk, the family is so rich, and there is no strong force to protect it, your father is still the Lu Wang Party, who will you do if you don't do it?

In March 265, Shang Shu Ling Zhonghui and Shen Ying, the governor of Xie Fu, led a section of the Xie Fu Army to attack Qiantang and conduct a thorough inventory of the Wu family's tenants, serfs, and generals. After more than ten days, the results are as follows:

The Qiantang Wu clan reported to the imperial court before the incident that their own land was 13,000 mu, and the reported population was 135 people. After careful investigation, the Wu family actually has more than 154,000 acres of land, 18 family members, and more than 3,900 family generals, doormen, kabuki, maids, and domestic slaves. There were more than 6,500 serfs who were attached to the land of the Wu family and were not on the government's civil register. In total, more than 10,000 people. Tax evasion over the years has reached 1.7 billion yuan!

Sun Hao's instructions: Order the Wu family to pay back taxes and impose corresponding fines.

Zhong Hui reported: The Wu family was unable to pay the relevant amount in full.

Sun Hao's instructions: Raid the house, and the Wu family will be exiled to Guangzhou.

It should be said that when Sun Hao and Zhong Hui just took the Wu family, it caused dissatisfaction among the vast number of families in Eastern Wu: concealing population and land is something that all the families of Eastern Wu are doing. The household tax has not been seriously implemented in our place for hundreds of years. There's a lot going on for you two bastards. What do you want to do?

Yes, the Wu family is in decline. It doesn't have anything to do with us. But he's a member of our family, after all. Is your emperor tempting us to choose a weak chicken to kill? See our reactions? If we don't react, are you going to start a real household tax inventory on a large scale? All right! Then we'll show you the emperor with some reactions!

However, before the families of Dongwu could collectively attack each other, Sun Hao's next action made everyone angry.

After getting the Wu family's property, Sun Hao immediately allocated 10,000 mu to Shen Ying, the governor of Xie Fu, for a very simple reason: be loyal to the king's affairs and be loyal to the country. Wu Xing Shen's family property rose by more than two percent in an instant.

This is a very strong signal: first, the knife handle is in my hand, oh, don't jump, whoever jumps kills whom. Second, obedient babies have candy to eat.

If Sun Hao's actions only temporarily suppressed the dissatisfaction of the majority of families, then the bad luck of the next family completely reassured most of the families in Eastern Wu.

In May, another local tyrant in Qiantang County, the whole family, was copied by people around the place.

Back then, the whole family was in power because of Sun Luban, and the Eastern Wu court was in power for a while. It's a pity that after the death of Sun Quan and Sun Jun, Sun Luban had no father to protect him, and no adulterer to protect him. The whole family fell in a straight line in an instant. Some people were forced to surrender to Wei by Sun Qi, and some were hacked to death by Sun Qi. By now, the prosperity of Zhong Ming Dingshi has gone away, and the whole family that stayed in Dongwu is only the youngest son of Quan Cong. This Quan Wu is just a scholar now. In the face of the emperor's butcher's knife, the whole family had no ability to resist.

After the whole family was raided, Zhou also received 10,000 acres of land as a reward.

Immediately followed by June, Zhong Hui made another move and copied the Lu family.

The founder of the Lu family is Lu Dai, as a representative of the Huaisi faction, Lu Dai's longevity is a life of constantly expanding the territory for Eastern Wu (opening up Fujian, poaching the three counties of Jingnan from Guan Yu, and finally setting up Jiaozhou). It's a pity that in the Nanlu party struggle, he is also a supporter of King Lu.

The Lu family later cultivated Jiaozhou and was a super tyrant in Jiaozhou. This time, Zhong Hui personally led a team to Jiaozhou to check the Lu family's household tax, and the harvest was naturally good. When Zhong Hui returned to Jianye, Sun Hao immediately named Zhong Hui as the Marquis of Jieyang (county marquis, fief in today's Shantou).

At this point, the families of Soochow are self-righteous and smacking the taste.

His Majesty the Emperor did not really want to check the household tax throughout the country, but to cleanse the remnants of the Lu Wang's party in the name of checking the household tax.

Therefore, we were princelings back then, and we can sleep in peace.

No! Wait, can't sleep! The Wu family, the whole family, and even the Lu family may have been generous back then, but now they have long since declined, and the taste of these families is like chicken ribs. And now among the remnants of the Lu Wang Party, the strongest, richest and most coveted is the Bujia of Xiling!

Didn't you see that the poor ghosts who helped His Majesty the Emperor clean up the remnants of the Lu Wang Party have received great rewards! If you cooperate with the Fuxing Society in Xishu, you will take down the step family that has been so rich all these years?! It's so beautiful that I don't even dare to think about it!

So, in late June of this year, the Soochow family, who thought they had seen the situation clearly, wrote a letter to impeach Bu Explain all kinds of illegal acts. Ask His Majesty the Emperor to thoroughly investigate all the crimes of the Bu family.

It can be said that from the time Guan Yi instigated Zhong Hui to come to Sun Hao's side, the history of Soochow has changed profoundly.

On the basis of history, although Sun Hao also relied on the princelings in the former Nanlu party struggle as the basic base, and then purged other forces. But because of the life experience of being too sad when he was a child, he was strongly stimulated, and at the same time, there was no one around him to convince him to guide him. Therefore, Sun Hao's purge of the Eastern Wu court appeared too impatient and brutal.

Due to excessive impatience and brutality, the Eastern Wu family, especially the Jiangdong clan, fought fiercely against it. made Sun Hao want to seek cooperation with Bu Xian (Jingzhou Gang) to suppress the Yangzhou Gang. On the basis of history, Sun Hao's brief relocation of the capital to Wuchang is a clear proof.

But now it is different, with Zhong Hui's guidance and help, and Guan Yi's reform in front. Sun Hao's various political measures in Soochow have become more methodical and skillful. While obtaining practical benefits, it did not excessively stimulate the Eastern Wu family, especially did not arouse the disgust of the main families of Wu County and Huiji County. Therefore, at this time, Sun Hao did not need to use the Bu family in Jingzhou, Shizhen, to suppress the family in Yangzhou.

Then, the Bujia tragedy.

Although Bu Er Ye is stupid, he is not a waste. The Wu family, the whole family, and the Lu family...... In the past, the comrades-in-arms of the Lu Wang Party fell one by one, and he knew very well who would be next. As the only family in the remnants of the Lu Wang Party that has considerable power in its hands. Of course, the Bujia is not willing to sit still.

It's still the same sentence, if you don't give me a way out, I won't give you a way out!

Since June of this year, Bu Er Ye has been actively contacting Chen Can in Fuling County: Say to your family boss, do you want Xiling to be Tai? I give it to you for free.

Chen Can, who is in the old nest of the Fuxing Society, is no longer the stupid white sweet he was back then. After receiving Bu Yan's letter, he immediately asked a key question: If you erect the banner of my Han in Xiling, you will inevitably be attacked by Eastern Wu. And then it's my big man who sent troops to help you break the siege, right? After the siege is lifted, do you still want to continue to be the governor of Xiling?

Step explained, yes, I like to be the governor of Xiling. I will be loyal to the Han Dynasty and look forward to Dongdaemun for you. From then on, your Patong county became the hinterland. The Yongan Legion's high annual military expenses can be saved.

Chen Can immediately lost interest when he saw Bu Xian's attitude: "Uh, brother, for the sake of the happy cooperation between our Fuxing Society and your Bu family for so many years, you can send one of your sons to our Dahan—the emperor of your family is a ruthless man." After the raid is completed, sooner or later, the three clans will be destroyed. In order for your step family not to be extinct, you better prepare early.

But how could Bu Yan, who had been a soil emperor in Xiling for so long, be willing to give up Xiling? Well, you Shu Han don't dare to send troops, right? Then I'll contact Jin Guo!
