"Absorbing savages and displaced people from other countries to settle in Wu and increase the population of our Wu country is infinitely beneficial, which is a century-old plan of the society and must not be shaken."

Qingji's determination is very firm.

"The king is wise!"

"What do you say about the old clan?"

"Back to the king, the old family is quite complaining. It's just that, compared with the previous ones, they may be more resistant to the state verifying their fiefdoms, acres, slaves, shops and other assets one by one! ”

Fan Li replied.

About this, Qingji wants to know it with his ass!

A series of recent reforms in the state of Wu have all touched the interests of the old family.

Absorbing savages and people from other countries to settle in Wu, and banning slave hunting, banning tooth trade, and replacing them with official slave mansions, this shook the entire slave market to a certain extent.

After all, behind many tooth shops, there are old people standing.

Slaves were not allowed to be captured, and the tooth shop was banned, which caused the old clan to lose an important income.

You know, the slave trade has always been a profiteering industry!

Now Qingji is one-size-fits-all, and the old family can't help but hate Qingji.

As for the edict issued before Qingji: the government should verify all its fixed assets, including slaves, land, fiefdoms, houses, and shops, and allow individuals to report them, and then the government will verify them, and if there are any discrepancies, they will be severely punished.

This will lead to the damage to the rights and interests of the old family!

They are related to the country, and they have accumulated a large amount of property for generations by relying on the shadow of their ancestors.

However, there are many lands, houses and shops that have been forcibly seized, and once the government investigates thoroughly, none of them will be able to escape!

Among them, there are some feudal monarchs who dare to quietly invade the country's land and turn it into their own fiefdom.

However, for such a thing, how can Qingji tolerate adultery?

The dignity of kings is inviolable!

You, a feudal king, secretly encroached on the king's land, what is going on?

"Resistance?"

Qingji sneered: "There is a limit to the tolerance of the widow. On the question of slavery, the widows have made concessions, but the matter of fiefdom assets cannot be lost! ”

"The widow will never tolerate anyone who dares to steal every inch of the country's land and touch a single thing of the widow!"

"The opportunity, the widow has been left to the old family, it depends on whether they can grasp it."

Hearing this, Fan Li couldn't help but slowly lowered his head, secretly surprised.

I didn't expect Qingji to pay so much attention to these things.

You must know that the feudal monarch occasionally encroaches on a little territory belonging to the monarch, as long as it is not too much, it is not too excessive, it is an excusable thing.

This has happened in almost every country throughout the ages.

If the circumstances are serious, the monarch will at most only beat the feudal monarch and force him to hand over the land he has occupied.

What's more, when the ministers are strong and the lords are weak, the feudal monarchs can even invade the king's city land without any scruples, such as the secretary of the Jin State and the Sanhuan of the Lu State......

Night falls.

In the palace of the imperial servant Shen Xi, Shen Xi, Zhu Li, Cover Yu, Zhu Yong and other ministers of the old family gathered together, and dozens of people were discussing how to deal with the recent series of decrees of the Wu State.

"The king is really too much this time!"

"It's too much of a deception! Several of the old man's tooth shops were banned, and although the government purchased a slave at a flat price, but without the tooth shop, the old man lost at least 200 gold a year! ”

"Exactly! The king also ordered the government to inspect all assets such as slaves, land, fiefs, houses, and shops of the people. ”

The ministers and feudal lords of the old clan present all looked angry.

As the beneficiaries of the Shiqing Shilu system, one of them can be clean under their buttocks!

Even if they themselves did not embezzle public funds, evade taxes, or encroach on the country's land, their ancestors may have done such things.

How is that good?

They had come to consult with the servant Shen Xi and others.

"Second and third sons, please don't be impatient."

As the host, Shen Xi had to stand up, waved his hand, and said, "Today, we are gathered together to discuss how to deal with current affairs!" ”

"Regarding current affairs, I have my own opinions, please listen to the second and third sons."

Hearing this, the old clan present quieted down, and pricked up their ears to listen to Shen Xi's high theory.

I saw Shen Xi Zhengse say: "Everyone, I think that the slavery system established by the king is unshakable. Whether it is a ban on slave hunting, or a ban on tooth hunting, we should all obey it, and we should not cause trouble! ”

As soon as they heard this, the old clans couldn't help but turn their heads and whisper.

Regarding the matter of Qingji's ban on slave hunting and banning tooth business, they were very dissatisfied in their hearts, but they also dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

After all, it's just a cut off of a financial route, and it's not enough for them to openly work against Qingji!

"Regarding the king's edict to verify the assets of the people, I think that I should also obey ......"

"What?"

Doctor Yang Rong instantly stood up like a cat with its tail stepped on, and said loudly: "Servant, what a fallacy this is? ”

"The slavery system is over, why can the second and third sons be indifferent to the matter of verifying assets?"

"Who of you here has not engaged in the act of encroaching on other people's land, or even demarcating the land of the country with fiefdom? Once the king is verified, will he not be severely punished? ”

"Exactly!"

"Servant, the rest of the things are okay to say, this unauthorized modification of the feudal territory, the occupation of the country's land, if the king is strictly questioned, we will be demoted to a concubine, the family property will be confiscated, and the head will fall to the ground, and the family will be exiled!"

Obviously, the old clan ministers present were afraid that Qingji would learn about the illegal things he had done before.

They never thought that Qingji was a tolerant monarch, and this time they promulgated the matter of verifying the assets of the countrymen, they must have wanted to find an excuse to punish the ministers and doctors like them one by one!

However, there is a different view on this interest.

"Second and third sons, how can the king's edict be changed overnight?"

Shen Xi revealed a cruel truth: "Instead of resisting the king's edict and causing trouble for no reason, it is better to cooperate yourself." In my opinion, the king is only warning me to wait. ”

"If we and the other old clans can be sympathetic to the king, return the land, slaves, shops, houses, etc. that we have illegally occupied before, and report them truthfully, the king will definitely not be guilty of the past and will not be held accountable for this!"

"What the servant said is very true."

As one of the nine Qings, Shaofu was the first to agree.

It's just that there are still obsessed old people like Yang Rong!

"Humph!"

Yang Rong flicked his sleeves and said: "I was wrong to wait for you!" I thought I was like-minded with you, but now it seems that you are just a bunch of rats! ”

"Farewell!"

After that, Yang Rong left angrily.

Shen Xi and the being separated couldn't help but glance at each other, very helpless.

This is really good words that can't persuade damn ghosts!

Since the sheep is looking for death, let him go!
