Chapter 54: Cleaning Up the Aftermath

Most officials are also willing to carry out such orders.

Because Zhao Kong set a new regulation on the day of the court meeting.

As long as the seven-grade officials are in power for ten years without making a big mistake, they can obtain 1,000 acres of farmland in Nanyang.

The higher the rank of the official, the more rewards he will receive.

When the officials of the third rank were given to the officials, they would even canonize the barons and establish a barony within a radius of ten miles.

As long as the cabinet elders are not dismissed, they can obtain the title of earl when they reach the age.

The breadth of its fiefdom is not even less than that of a small county in the Central Plains!

Even the fiefs of civilian officials are mostly less rich than those of military fiefdoms, and they are more remote.

But the civil officials who can get the fiefdom are not experts in governance.

You can use the time and connections of Zhishi to develop your own fiefdom.

Therefore, almost all the officials of the Wu State hoped that Nanyang would be more prosperous.

But even so, there are not many places in the Jiangnan region where the relocation policy can be implemented.

In particular, the city that Zhao Kong had just arrived, Lin'an, the former capital of the Song Kingdom renamed Hangcheng.

Although after the unification of the world, Wu moved the capital to Jinling.

But because the time is still short, most of the top wealthy families in the entire Jiangnan are still gathered in Hangzhou.

As a result, Hangzhou became the vanguard of the anti-Zhao Kong relocation policy.

"It's all a group of guys who don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, if one day this picturesque Jiangnan is killed and blood flows, then you also asked for it!"

Zhao Kong, who was flying in the sky, looked at the lights of thousands of homes below, and secretly felt ruthless in his heart.

During this time, the wealthy families in Hangzhou not only let all the grain stores go on strike, but also created panic.

Even more subtle rumors were spreading, inciting tens of thousands of people to besiege the Yamen two days ago.

As a result, the Yin of the Hangcheng Mansion was beaten to death, and the government was also burned to a white ground by the fire.

Originally, Zhao Kong was there, and these wealthy families didn't dare to do such a thing at all.

But Zhao Kong's relocation policy this time has seriously damaged their interests.

Even the current local officials dare not be as ruthless as Wu Jun did during the war.

However, they were required to take out more than half of the acres of land and replace the land in Nanyang several times thousands of miles away.

They also wanted to relocate a large number of Punzhi people to Nanyang to take over the replaced land.

Even if they can exchange several times the field, they will not be willing.

The side branches that moved over may have made money, but the main vein of the wealthy families is a blood loss.

Moreover, without these more credible Panzhi people, the momentum of the main line will also be greatly reduced, which will seriously weaken the influence of these wealthy clans in the local area.

Therefore, the people in charge of the wealthy families everywhere, of course, have to oppose it desperately.

However, Zhao Kong came to Hangzhou today, not to kill people himself.

In this kind of city with a population of millions, unless Zhao Kong loses his mind and goes crazy and launches an undead natural disaster to destroy the whole city, it is impossible for him to clean up those wealthy clans alone.

chose a mansion with the largest area in the city, and Zhao Kong quickly found the trace of the owner through layers of interrogation through soul dementorship.

At this time, it was close to the hour, but instead of resting, the owner of the house gathered more than a dozen people in the lobby to discuss things.

Seeing this, Zhao Kong was not in a hurry to enter, with his ear power, even if he stood a hundred meters away, he could hear what these people said word for word.

"Brother Xu, this time the matter is so big, will that butcher in Jinling City be spicy?"

A rather deep voice asked, with a faint hint of panic in his words.

Hearing what these people were discussing, it seemed to be related to the Hangzhou incident.

Zhao Kong thought about it, but still used the stealth technique and quietly sneaked into the lobby.

"It's not our people who are besieging the mansion, no matter how brutal that butcher is, he can't blame us, otherwise the whole Jiangnan will be able to show him chaos!"

It was the owner of this huge mansion who spoke, Xu Yi, who was once the household servant of the Song Kingdom.

When Song had just surrendered, Zhao Kong had also seen him.

After the Song State was annexed by the Wu State, Xu Yi learned about the laws of the Wu State.

did not choose to be like other colleagues, and once again became an official of Wu Guo.

For Xu Yi, having been a household servant for nearly ten years, he has already earned enough.

It is better to take advantage of the fall of the Song Kingdom and the chaos of the government and the opposition.

A little means to clean up the beginning and end, and finally the scenery and the moon came out.

Later, Xu Yi put on the appearance of a loyal and filial son of the Song State, which really attracted many people who were dissatisfied with Zhao Kong's new policy.

For a while, there was a faint panache of the leader of the Jiangnan Shi clan.

Since you can rely on fame to gain power, why take the risk of participating in the Wu court.

"But Brother Xu, that butcher is unreasonable, and he doesn't care how many people die, if he really comes to Lin'an to investigate thoroughly, once the demon magic is cast, who of us can hide from him?"

A fat middle-aged man asked Xu Yi worriedly.

"You don't need to worry too much, if it was before, the old man would not dare to do this. But recently, the old man learned a great joy from his old colleagues. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yi also suddenly sold Guan Zi and kept silent.

Looking at the appearance of everyone in the hall scratching their ears and cheeks, this old guy actually laughed happily.

"Hahahaha, Zhao Kong, that butcher, when he sacrifices to the sky on the winter solstice next year, he will leave our world and go to the so-called upper realm, what kind of passage between the two realms will be built, and it will take at least two hundred years to come back!"

"What's even better is that Zhao Kong, the butcher, was stunned by the little demon girl from the rivers and lakes, not only did he not leave an heir before leaving, but he also wanted the little demon girl surnamed Huang to be the regent of the country!"

Speaking of this, Xu Yi laughed again, and only after half a ring did he continue under the urging of everyone.

"In order to let the little demon girl sit firmly in the court, Zhao Kong Xiaoer must not dare to make a big move at this time, otherwise Jiangnan will be in chaos, and he will not be able to clean it up before he leaves next year."

"According to Zhao Kong'er, if you miss the winter solstice next year and then want to fly, you will have to wait for a long, long time."

"And he obviously doesn't want to wait any longer, so he is in such a hurry to move to various places to clear the obstacles for the little demon girl."

When Xu Yi said this, everyone in the hall also laughed.

The fat middle-aged man who was worried just now said to Xu Yi with a happy face at this moment.

"After the Hangcheng Mansion was burned, the butcher was already in a dilemma, and he didn't want to leave a mess for the little demon girl, so he had to suspend the relocation policy, and he had to endure the bitter consequences of this Hangcheng Rebellion!"

Xu Yi pinched his beard and said to everyone with a smile.

"The old man is willing to take risks this time, just so that you can stay in the Central Plains, and after Zhao Kong Xiao'er leaves, even if the little demon girl learns some witchcraft, she will definitely not be able to stop the brilliant trend set off by us!"

"When the time comes, when the pseudo-Wu is full of smoke and the little demon girl is tired of running for her life, I will gather some more reckless rivers and lakes, and I will definitely capture her in one fell swoop, and force her to ask for the method of immortality, and ...... in the future."

Without waiting for Xu Yi to finish speaking, Zhao Kong, who was hidden beside him, couldn't bear it anymore.

"Old fellow, isn't it good to live, do you have to be in such a hurry to die?"

Zhao Kong stepped out of the shadows, slapped one by one, and knocked all the people in the hall to the ground.

Seeing Zhao Kong who suddenly appeared, the others didn't know who this person was.

But Xu Yi, who had seen Zhao Kong before, was like seeing an evil ghost.

He let out a terrified scream, then rolled his eyes and fainted.

Zhao Kong didn't bother to care if he was really dizzy or fake, anyway, he wouldn't let go of any of the people present, especially Xu Yi, who had evil intentions.

However, these people can't be killed at this time, and they still have the information that Zhao Kong needs in their heads.

The most important thing is that Zhao Kong doesn't want these people to die too happily.

If they were to be slapped to death, it would be too cheap for them.

Picking up a person on the ground casually, Zhao Kong used a spiritual secret method to forcibly invade this person's sea of knowledge.

didn't care whether he would become an idiot afterwards, and bluntly interrogated the list of participants in the Hangzhou incident.

The same technique, Zhao Kong performed it on the other two again.

"What a damn thing! The wealthy families in the entire Hangzhou City have actually colluded, and there is even the shadow of the remnants of the Xue Lord, isn't it that I have killed fewer people recently? ”

Zhao Kong, who was on fire, didn't bother to tell if there was any wrongs in it.

Knocking out more than a dozen people in the lobby and tying them up, Zhao Kong flew towards the north with these people like carrying a string of zongzi.

Flew to the Dragon Elephant Army camp overnight and found Huo Xian, the former third elder of the Giant Whale Gang and the current leader of the Dragon Elephant Army.

He was ordered to personally lead 10,000 dragon elephant troops south to Hangcheng, and all the people on the list were arrested and sentenced to death.

And the more than ten people brought by Zhao Kong even enjoyed all kinds of torture overnight.

With the elite of the dragon elephant army, they rushed to Hangzhou in the evening of the next day.

Huo Xian left two thousand dragon elephant troops behind to block the gates of Hangzhou.

The rest all went into the city and broke down and arrested people one by one according to the list.

Although only the main veins of these wealthy clans were captured, by the time the moon rose to the sky, the Dragon Elephant Army had also tied up tens of thousands of people.

Except for a few people who were cautious and fled two days ago when they saw that the situation in Hangzhou was big, almost all the rest were wiped out.

According to Zhao Kong's orders, more than 100 people on the list were pressed to Jinling.

Depending on the degree of participation, the sentence ranged from beheading to Ling Chi.

And the main family lineage of these people was all exiled to the Australian continent, and they were not pardoned.

Even the side branches were forcibly relocated to the islands of the South Seas by the imperial court by taking this opportunity.

After the news of Hangcheng spread, the wealthy families everywhere saw Zhao Kong's determination.

Especially after the news that Zhao Kong was about to ascend and promised to canonize the Yin God spread.

No one dared to provoke Zhao Kong or even the entire court at this juncture.

"Cut, I thought I could flip back when I left, when my family Rong'er was made of mud?"

In the Jinling Palace, Zhao Kong took Huang Rong's little hand and said to her with a smile.

Huang Rong glanced at him and sighed slightly.

"Brother Kong, you left such a big country for me, how can I concentrate on cultivation?"

Zhao Kong habitually wanted to rub Huang Rong's head.

But thinking that after she left, Huang Rong also had to establish her prestige, so she finally put her hand down.

"People like you and me who have embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, governing the country and ordinary emperors are two different concepts, and our authority comes from our own strength, so no one can take it away!"

Huang Rong nodded and said, "Brother Kong, do you mean to let me go down despite the power?" ”

Zhao Kong smiled and said: "For us, we can fly around the entire Wu Kingdom several times a day, no matter who has different intentions, they can be crushed to death at will, in this case, as long as they come out and fly a few times occasionally, which of those civil and military generals dares to mess around?" ”

Huang Rong stood in place and thought for a moment, then looked up at Zhao Kong.

"But I don't have the talent of your mental power, brother, when I meet some strong-willed people, I can't find out if he lied, although these people can't harm the country, but they can harm the people of one side."

Zhao Kong replied without hesitation: "What really needs you to take care of is only a few cabinet elders and the main generals of various legions, and even if you can't probe themselves, these people can still get information from the people around them with the many secret methods I taught you." ”

Looking at the thoughtful Huang Rong, Zhao Kong squinted his eyes and continued.

"For these civil and military ministers, once you find out who dares to cross the line, immediately start cleaning up, don't be afraid of killing the wrong person, so that you misunderstand to the point of killing him, which is a damn reason in itself!"

"In addition, you don't have to rush to promote the statecraft I left you."

"A normal emperor has not reigned for more than 20 years, but you have 200 years to slowly arrange, and you can carry it out quietly."

Listening to Zhao Kong's endless explanation of the concept of immortal cultivators governing the country, Huang Rong was listening attentively most of the time.

Occasionally, Zhao Kong would be interrupted, questioning some of his concepts.

But some of Zhao Kong's ideas come from the summary of the Shenzhou realm for many years.

Add to that some of the modern governing styles of the earth, not to say flawless, but at least able to cope with the vast majority of situations.

"Rong'er, in fact, these methods are just small paths, as long as you can break through to the Shangqing realm, no one in this world has secrets in front of you, you want to do anything, they can only be obedient and obedient, so having supreme strength is the real avenue."

In the end, thinking of his situation in the Shenzhou realm, Zhao Kong summed up this sentence to Huang Rong with some embarrassment.
