CHAPTER XII

Since the Tiger Ben Battalion was moved to Dangjun and the Yulin Army was stationed in Dongjun, the original noisy and dusty riots came to an abrupt end, and the bandits that came and went one after another also died down. The makers of the conspiracy, the local tycoons, carefully scrutinized Fan Sui's every move, wanting to see what South Korea was going to do next! Do you want to do something and insist on implementing the new law, or do you take a step back and maintain the current form? Many forces are faintly looking forward to it.

On November 25, Fan Sui gave the answer. An unexpected thing broke out in Guiling, where bandits first appeared--the local wealthy Bai and Wang families were exterminated by the Yulin Army for the crime of treason! Seven of the chiefs of the two clans were shown to the public in Dongshi, and the rest of the clansmen, the male ones were given side plugs, and the female ones were punished as slaves and prostitutes.

This incident happened without warning, and the day before the Yulin army surrounded the Bai and Wang families, the county commander of Guiling also made a special trip to visit the patriarchs of the Bai and Wang clans to express their worries about the current situation. The tone of his tone is so respectful and his attitude is humble that it is not difficult to think that it may be that South Korea has succumbed!

But just when the two clans were celebrating, the Yulin army galloped in, and there was no time for the two clans to recruit private soldiers. Almost bloodlessly, the Yulin Army took down the Bai and Wang families, which had 3,000 private soldiers. Before everyone could react, Fan Sui nationalized the land under the names of the two clans at a lightning speed, and began to carry out vigorous changes in Guiling!

At the same time, Yu Linjun seized the businesses of Song and Wei in Guiling, on the grounds that the goods transported by Song and Wei included cement, a prohibited item prohibited by South Korea. This is the sin that is desired, and there is no excuse for it. In recent years, as the production of cement has become higher and higher, South Korea's control over cement has become much looser. South Korea has always turned a blind eye to the smuggling of cement into other countries by various firms. Unexpectedly, this time Fan Sui made a big fuss about this matter and seized the business names of Song and Wei!

In the eyes of discerning people, Fan Sui's actions are undoubtedly shocking the tiger. The Bai and Wang families have disappeared, and South Korea is taking advantage of this incident. Warn the wealthy families such as Song and Wei to be honest and divided! South Korea can not blame the past, but it will see the aftermath. Otherwise, if Fan Sui is unforgiving, and wants to exterminate the wealthy families in Dongjun, he can completely detain the heads of the Song and Wei families in Guiling, and will not let the two families spend money to guarantee it! After all. The stewards of the Song and Wei families in Guiling were also the elders of the patriarchs.

Fan Sui's series of actions made the wealthy families in Dongjun secretly frightened. They all knew that, speaking of which, the private soldiers they raised were not necessarily very loyal. If they were as light as the Bai and Wang families, they would not try their best to avenge themselves.

In particular, South Korea's new law has advanced unusually quickly after Gyeryung lost the greatest resistance. The people also knew the tangible benefits brought to them by the new law, and the exemption from one year of forced labor alone was enough to make the hearts of the people who forgot their righteousness. Not to mention the other benefits!

Pointing to these private soldiers to be wholeheartedly loyal to themselves is undoubtedly the most stupid idea! Moreover, if the wealthy families in various places don't want to make people swords, they will do their best to make trouble, which is different from secretly blocking South Korea. This is a real rebellion! When the time comes, how many private soldiers will pursue themselves is really a big question!

Nowadays, more and more news is spreading rapidly from Guiling to the entire Dongjun and Dangjun. The promise of being fed and clothed has never been made by any King of Wei, but King Han has made it. Although the suspicion of regaining the hearts of the people is not ruled out, looking at the policy of the new law and the reward for military merits, the people of Dongjun feel that there is hope for life for the first time. The people at the bottom see the hope of getting ahead, and the hungry and cold people see the possibility of hunger.

It was also the first time that the people had heard of the concept of the state and the nation! The people of this era. Far from giving rise to the concept of a state. Or perhaps, for them. The state is nothing but the object of their taxes, labor service, and military service! It is the power represented by the superior! The destruction of the nation was a trivial matter to them.

No matter who you are under your rule, you have to do hard labor, military service, and pay taxes anyway, and there is no big difference! For them, what they really care about is their own vital interests, such as how much to pay taxes and whether there are subsidies! In this regard. South Korea is indeed doing much better than Wei! Although it is undeniable that South Korea has paid a lot of money to maintain such national treatment.

For the first time, the new law touched on the concept of the state, that is, those who were willing to be loyal to the king of Korea and were willing to defend the new Korean law. Those who are willing to protect the benefits they have received from the new law should perform their labor, military service, and taxes on time! For the first time, the new law also mentions the obligation of the State to assist nationals of other States. The state has the obligation to help the people who are living in difficulty and to guide the fight against disasters and provide relief. All in all, the state is a huge collection of interests, and different people have different roles and statuses, but they must follow the law and work hard for the growth of this group of interests. The argument of rights and obligations is novel, but it goes straight to the heart. Because most people subconsciously think that birth, old age, sickness and death, natural and man-made disasters are their own affairs, and they only have obligations to the country and no rights!

As for the interpretation of the nation, the new law is much more general! Generally speaking, the new law believes that the people of Yan, Zhao, Qi, Qin, Han, and Chu are all people of the same race, and the clan is called Huaxia, and they are all descendants of Yan and Huang! We have a similar culture, a common ancestor, and we are well-informed, which is the biggest difference between us and the barbarians!

South Korea's resolute action greatly shocked the wealthy families of Dongjun and Dangjun, and under the unremitting propaganda of the new law by local governments, the wind of public opinion began to turn in favor of South Korea. The private soldiers found that compared with their allegiance to the wealthy family, it seemed that they would comply with the new law, and it was also a good choice to join the army and make meritorious contributions!

Because in the private army of local wealthy families, there are also relatives who are distant and close. Holding power for the upper echelons for a long time has left no channels for the lower classes to be promoted. If you unfortunately die in battle for the sake of your master, there is only a meager pension, where is it like the Han Army, whether it is disabled or killed in battle, there is a perfect pension system! After dying in battle, his own country supports the elderly for himself. If you don't die in battle, as long as you make military achievements, you will have all kinds of rewards such as wealth, land, and titles! You must know that if you have a title, even if it is the title of the lowest cloud cavalry captain, you can see the official and not worship. Local officials even have to ask for their own opinions on some major issues that affect people's livelihood! This is enough to glorify the ancestors!

Qin and Zhao naturally did not want the wealthy families of the two counties to die down under the offensive of South Korea, and the personnel in charge of the two countries began to deliberately create friction and create a posture that the local wealthy families were unwilling to give up, although in fact, the local wealthy families were still hesitating whether to accept the arrangement of fate or fight to the death!

If Qin and Zhao sent troops to attack Korea at this time, they would naturally be willing to add fuel to the fire. But the patriarchs of the various ethnic groups who are old and refined know that Qin and Zhao are just using their own people, and what they promise is empty words. At this time when South Korea is in full swing, they are at most chess pieces in their hands, and no one is willing to be a chess piece, and the reason why these people are in line is just to hold a glimmer of hope, hoping that South Korea will be afraid of the union of their own people and Qin and Zhao and will restrain themselves on the issue of the new law! At the end of the day, both sides are just taking what they need! If the two sides can't take what they need, there will be no basis for cooperation, and they can part ways at any time. Now it depends on which side can't hold its breath and puts forward the conditions first.

But Qin and Zhao did not intend to solicit the wealthy families of the two counties at all, and directly represented the opposition between the wealthy families of the two counties and Korea. The banditry that has been silent for more than ten days has risen again, and it is still in Dongjun, where Fan Sui is located, and the meaning of provocation is obvious!

Fan Sui did not hesitate at all, and directly sent troops to kill. Maybe the elite scouts in South Korea were too powerful, or maybe the Qin and Zhao countries leaked the news, in short, the bandits were wiped out by the Yulin Army within three days. Qin and Zhao really suffered a big loss! South Korea used a vigorous and resolute style to tell the wealthy families of the two counties that if they want to go against South Korea, they must be prepared for defeat!

Eventually, the wealthy families of the two counties realized that with the success of the new law in Guiling, their hopes of success were getting slimmer! Qin and Zhao made it clear that they were unwilling to stand up for their own people, at best they were just cheering, and it was too unwise to gamble on their own net worth and life to gamble on something with a success rate of less than one percent!

What's more, there are many accommodating ways to reduce your losses! For example, the new law stipulates that a certain amount of wealth can be exchanged for a title, although it is the lowest three titles, although the value of the title is expensive, but you can always keep the land in your name justifiably, right?!

This is much better than originally intended! South Korea gave itself these steps, and did not push themselves too urgently, if they are not interested, maybe they are empty of people and money! Didn't you see Wu Qin, who has always been neutral, promoted to become a county prince?! That's the benefit of supporting South Korea! The style of carefully sailing the ship of ten thousand years played a key role at this time, and the wealthy families of the two counties met in private, and finally made up their minds to end this farce that had little chance of winning in the first place! Because Fan Sui has already said that as long as his people know the current affairs, perhaps, there will be a place for his own people in the Korean Federation of Commercial Banks! You know, land is not the only wealth!

Even if you are not interested in wealth and want land, you have other ideas. Don't forget another provision in the new law, which is that the newly occupied counties in Korea can be leased by individuals for three years, during which time the land can be bought and sold! As for three years later, it will be determined whether it will be redeemed by the state according to the title! (To be continued......)
