In the middle of the night, the people in the city fell asleep.

The city gate quietly opened, and horse-drawn carriages rushed out of the city, gathering in a long procession towards Luoliang Mountain.

The heavily armed members of the company followed the carriage in silence, and whimpering cries came from the carriage, filling the night with two eerie points.

Jia Hu, who personally escorted the team, looked at the long carriage procession behind him, snorted coldly, and showed a sneer on his face, the officials, landlords, old wealth, squires and wealthy businessmen who had used to exploit the flesh and blood of the people, at this moment, all the wives and children in the family were collected and sent to the Luoliang Mountain cottage for detention.

With these people, those bureaucratic rich businessmen have to be obedient.

At this moment, Tang Xidong endured the exhaustion of his whole body, sitting in the lobby of the Kang family, he didn't know that Kang Shounong was sitting in the same position the day before yesterday and made up his mind to buy the notice to attack Luoliang Mountain, the cycle of cause and effect is not about good and evil, not about right and wrong, but about a beginning and an end.

At this moment, Kang Shounong's only son, Kang Xuqian, who had been trapped on Luoliang Mountain and left no one to take care of, was cowering in his chair, trying to hide himself through the shadows in the room.

"Actually, you are not a good choice, but you are the only choice, compared to your father, you are really stupid and cowardly, even if you didn't rob the mountain that day, there is no war today, you are still the majestic young master of the Kang family, and the Kang family is afraid that it will still not be able to escape the fate of the family in your hands."

Under the dim light, Tang Xidong leaned back in his chair, his expression could not be seen clearly, and his voice was a little low.

And Kang Xuqian, who was cowering on the opposite side, seemed to be too frightened to react a little.

"Kang Shounong is a character, at least he can keep this family wealth, the family wealth accumulated by the ancestors who have worked hard for generations, so far, in fact, it is just a wrong choice, but in any case, from today on, everything in the Kang family no longer belongs to you, but to me, and to Luoliang Mountain."

"But, don't be afraid, I don't like to kill people, I don't like to take other people's wealth and destroy people's homes. To be precise, I don't even like what happened tonight, it's a bit brutal, it's too direct, and it doesn't show my wisdom at all. ”

"But, it can only be like this, in this world, in fact, the most solid thing is interests, I prefer to use interests to bind everyone, rather than coercing everyone's wives and children. But there are no popular goods in the cottage, there are no eye-catching interests, the business empire I want to build is not visible for the time being, I can't bring you benefits, so that you can't see enough for you to betray the interests of your ancestors and the country, so I have to rely on the force in my hands. If you don't want to die, if you don't want to destroy the door, you have to do what I say, and you have to do what I want. ”

"I want to make this Pingyang City not surnamed Zhu, but surnamed Tang. The Kang family is the same, from tonight, its surname is Tang, I think you are at least not so stupid as not to understand what I mean, isn't it, the future head of the Kang family, Young Master Kang Xuqian, no, wrong, wrong, it should be Master Kang. ”

"Do it well, what I want is an obedient puppet, you have talent at this point, I believe you will do a good job, you don't need to think about whether others obey or not, I will give you a knife, you see that these people around you who protect you are the knife in your hand, a man, after having status, must learn to be ruthless to others, otherwise you can only be cruel to yourself."

The words landed, and a figure dragged his tired body out of the hall of the Kang family, leaving behind a pair of eyes full of fear and a trembling body.

Just like Tang Xidong said, in fact, everything that is happening in front of him is something he did not foresee before, and his plan does not include this part, but fate will not go all the way according to his plan.

The government called, lost, the cottage was shattered, and the victory came, and more officers and soldiers followed, and a bigger war followed.

Therefore, he can only choose this way, and choose the most advantageous path in all surprises.

Revolution, not rebellion, quiet revolution.

From this Binh Duong City, a new chapter has been set off.

If there are too many things in his plan, such as coking plants, cement factories, steel factories, soap factories, glass factories, canning factories, etc., then he can seek to change and kidnap the world without resorting to the force of the constantly dead people, but with commercial interests, but in fact none of them are there.

All he could rely on was to kidnap by force.

In addition to interests, it is the ancients' idea of inheritance, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, so he used force and Confucianism to brainwash these people's thoughts to accomplish everything he wanted.

Pingyang City is nominally the city of the Ming Dynasty Zhu family, but in fact, he will have the final say in the future in Tang Xidong.

The night was too long, so long that Tang Xidong's tired body and mind could not look forward to the dawn.

The Kang family is the head of the merchants in Pingyang City, so he needs to arrange the Kang family first, Kang Xuqian is very timid and cowardly, but he is also a puppet suitable for the bright side.

And the prefect is a money-loving man, but he looks like a businessman who is purer than Kang Shounong, he doesn't seem to care too much about the safety of his family, but he is afraid of death.

loves money and is afraid of death, Tang Xidong let him choose, one is that the matter is exposed, he loses his hat, loses his family wealth, and loses his life, and the other is that the family wealth is still yours, and his life is still yours, you just need to be obedient.

After all, Cen Huayan is a smart person who has no loyalty and knows how to choose.

All the people trapped in the prefect's yamen, Tang Xidong met cordially and individually one by one, and things were easy to discuss, with good words and persuasion, family coercion, force coercion, reasoning, painting cakes, and beating a stick to give a date.

Anyway, what he wants is for these people to bow down, and for these people to be obedient.

Those who have backbone are not afraid, and those who are greedy for life and afraid of death are better.

He has the time and the means to change little by little.

The belated dawn finally tore open the night, and Tang Xidong also completed the final arrangements.

The gates of the city opened under the canopy of lighter and brighter, and the people of the city continued to go in and out as usual, toiling for a living.

Binh Duong City is still peaceful as usual.

It's just that the name of this city has changed from today.

The members of the company were separated one by one, nominal protection, actual surveillance and intimidation.

There are also ledgers about the family wealth industry in front of Tang Xidong, risking great danger to push himself into a train that can never get off again, at least there must be some practical gains.

For example: silver, money, grain, men and horses......

The prefect was well taken care of, accompanied by a newly acquired concubine, good wine, and Qin Se, and most importantly, the treasure that could be touched in that room.

Tang Xidong knew that he had no way out, and in his heart, he kept reminding himself that Pingyang Mansion belonged to him from today onwards.

You have to take good care of your own territory.

Unusual care.
