Chapter 285: Sweep Away
(Recommended reading: Guo Jia has gone to decorate, but Ye Chen also needs to decorate, and he will decorate more.
First of all, there is no reason to destroy the five families, I believe that Guo Jia will also find a reasonable reason, but the reason is just to deceive ordinary people, and the court does not need any reason to really move him.
So Ye Chen planned to have a combination punch.
The combination of punches is to bribe the emperor, in addition to money accidents, the emperor also likes beautiful women and wine, the beauty Ye Chen does not, there is a lot of wine, so find the right time to pay the emperor a new tribute to the wine.
Money, Ye Chen also has it, but he will not use his own money, but intends to use the emperor's own money to bribe the emperor, which is a bit ridiculous to say, but Ye Chen can do it.
After a year of development, the royal money village has been opened to the entire Han Dynasty, the stall is big, and it is very good to do fake accounts, even if the emperor sends people to investigate, he can't find anything, and the people he sent are too corrupt, he can only send the big and small eunuchs in the palace, those eunuchs don't understand the investigation at all, they will only ask for money, and everything is easy to say when the money is enough.
So Ye Chen just wanted to give the emperor a guarantee watch and tell the emperor how much money he had earned. However, most of this money is really earned, and the royal money bank is really profitable, but the way of making money is a little unpositive.
Then, Ye Chen came to a combination of fist two, and the combination of punch two was to knock on the imperial court, let the Wuhuan in the north pretend to be a soldier to suppress the border, scare the imperial court, and let the imperial court know that Liaodong, and even Youzhou, still have to rely on Ye Chen.
There is also a combination of punch three, that is, knocking out the minions of the Yuan family or the Wei family, and telling them that they are not easy to mess with.
Of course, these combination punches are only to deal with a temporary crisis, Ye Chen can't let them deal with him, but he doesn't resist, he has to fight back, so Ye Chen plans to start arranging to deal with the Wei family.
It's not so easy to deal with the Wei family, after all, it's a centuries-old family, deep-rooted, and Ye Chen is not sure to knock them down, but it's okay to let them bleed heavily.
It's just that this plan will take a long time, and in a short period of time, Ye Chen still can't help the Wei family, after all, Ye Chen doesn't have much strength on the Wei family's territory.
Guo Jia's movements were very fast, and the person who contacted the major families that night had been controlled, and then several families were also charged with various crimes, so the next thing was simple.
Raiding homes, arresting people, these guard battalions often do it, raiding homes is cool, and all good things are moved to their own homes, in the past, Ye Chen and they mixed bandits or yellow scarves, and they could only take some of them away, but now they are going openly.
Any good things can be left behind, and they can be moved back slowly, not to mention that the house is burned down with a fire, these are all Ye Chen's.
The raid went very smoothly, Guo Jia made a move, and he didn't give them any chance to defend himself at all, everyone was taken away first, and they were directly put into prison, and the evidence of the crime could be made slowly, anyway, everything was up to them, and the court couldn't control it.
Undoubtedly, this incident caused a shock to the major families in Liaodong, and many families were glad that they were not moved when the other party came to lobby them and promised great benefits, and refused.
Otherwise, the end will be the same as those five families, and they will be ruthlessly wiped out by Ye Chen.
There are not many people killed this time, but the deterrent power is stronger, because this time many families know that the other party is very big, so Ye Chen dares to fight with them, although I don't know what the final result will be, but the major families in Liaodong know that if they get involved, no matter whether the Ye family has the ability to deal with the people behind them or not, they will definitely be eliminated by the Ye family first.
With these understandings, the major families have settled down, those families who dragged and did not pay, some were frightened and hurriedly went to pay taxes with a large amount of grain overnight, and some could not find the chief official of the county, so they went directly to the Yejia Restaurant with the grain, put a large amount of grain in front of the Yejia Restaurant, crying and shouting to pay taxes.
There were also many people who came to see Ye Chen overnight with heavy gifts, and Ye Chen's attitude was to accept the courtesy, and then let Wu Xian go to see them, he was too lazy to come forward, and he didn't need him to come forward.
Although they didn't see Ye Chen, but Ye Chen accepted the gift, they could rest assured that Ye Chen didn't plan to touch them, even if he didn't give a gift, he wouldn't move them, unless they were involved in this matter.
However, the gifts they gave were not light, and this was a considerable amount of income, which could help Ye Chen a lot.
Liaodong looks chaotic, but it has no impact on ordinary people at all, but is immersed in the joy of harvest.
This year, many people have increased their grain income, not to mention, and the taxes paid are still less, except for the taxes stipulated by the imperial court, which is to be handed over to the landlord's rent, but this rent is not overcharged at all according to the regulations, and all other miscellaneous taxes are not at all.
Although the newly reclaimed land is not fertile, and the harvest is not as good as the previous farmland, the newly reclaimed land does not have to pay taxes for three years, and the farmers themselves have increased their income.
Many farmers can have a full meal this year, and some farmers even pay back the money they owe to the Ye family for farm tools, and the farm tools that the Ye family gave them have completely become their own, and the farmers also have an obsession with farm tools, and they have an indescribable peace of mind to turn farm tools into their own.
The whole Liaodong is in its happy and harmonious situation, there is food at home, there is no panic in the heart, you can spend a year happily, the farmers are happy, Ye Chen is also happy, the taxes collected this year exceed expectations, and the development will be another three or five years, Ye Chen believes that the Ye family can raise thousands of soldiers and horses without relying on the Ye family, plus the Ye family can feed 30,000 soldiers in their own hands, this is a powerful force.
However, for the time being, there is no need for so many soldiers and horses, and soldiers and horses are also a burden, and the burden is too heavy.
However, Ye Chen was happy, and many people were not happy, first of all, the Zhang family of Jixian County, he found that Ye Chen was so bold, he was hit by a thunderous blow before he could launch it, and all the arrangements were useless.
The Zhang family has been very sad recently, so many people were destroyed by Ye Chen, and these pensions and hush money alone cost most of their net worth, plus they were afraid of the Ye family's revenge, so they bribed the Yuan family with a lot of money, and finally got in touch with the Yuan family, but found that the Yuan family had no way to take the Ye family.
The Ye family has developed too fast, and in the year after the Yellow Turban, Ye Chen has grown rapidly, and now he is a fierce beast.
Whoever dares to provoke him, he dares to bite whomever he wants.
The Zhang family is in decline, but at this time, the Wei family came to the door and asked to deal with the Ye family together, and help the Zhang family recover, the Wei family is not only one of the four major business families, but also a centuries-old family, and it also has a lot of power in the official face, and it also has a great influence in the family.
With the care of the Wei family, the Zhang family quickly recovered, and the Zhang family, who got the benefits, plus the Yuan family and the Wei family as the backing, began to take revenge on the Ye family, but the Zhang family did not expect that the Ye family's reaction would be so fierce and directly swept away with the power of Mount Tai.
