Chapter 51: Dafa Li City

Wu Yong's efficiency was still very fast, dragging the Wang family out of the gate, and sending people to run around on the street and shout to tell each other. One after another, people rushed to the king's house, most of whom were persecuted.

In front of the gate of Wang's house, a "complaint card" stands tall, and several tables and chairs are neatly placed. Wu Yong led people to redress grievances for the people and called on the poor people to complain about their grievances.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, we also have a way to wait for thieves, this Wang family is not something to deliberately provoke me Qingfeng Mountain, and now it is for the people to eliminate harm, and those who are wronged say wrongs. Witnessing these guys being punished with our own eyes will count us as accumulating some yin virtues......"

The torches on the streets shine as brightly as day!

The people saw that the local emperor Wang Kai and his family in the market town were tied up with flowers. The men were all gagged and struggling, panicking like lost dogs. Thinking about the appearance of these people who were powerful and blessed in the past, and then compared with the fate of the prisoners now, they are quite relieved, and they applaud loudly.

Many people cried and shouted that it was not that they did not report it, but before the hour came, they saw that these mountain kings did not stop them, and some people threw stones at these people. After the news spread outside the Wang's house, more and more people gathered to watch.

There are constantly sufferers running under the sign, crying and telling their grievances. The lack of virtue that the Wang family did in the past was naturally recorded by some people.

In the Wang's mansion, Chao Gai personally commanded the team to loot money and grain. According to the place where he, the rich man, hid his money, told his subordinates to look for it.

Su Ding, Guo Sheng, and even Li Kui, the black guy, were sent down to loot. The look of a roaring and green eyes like a hungry wolf really looked like a robber.

It didn't take long for everyone to return!

"Big brother, let's send ...," Shi Xiu rushed over, and when the words came to his mouth, he immediately changed to a black mouth: "Our cottage should have come to the Wang family to borrow grain a long time ago." The children have gained a lot, and our cottage has made a big profit tonight! ”

"Hey, hey, I've never grabbed so many goodies." Li Kui smirked and shouted, walking with a jump, which showed that he was in a turbulent mood.

Su Ding, Guo Sheng, and Yang Lin didn't speak, but they all smiled.

"Oh, brothers, what good things have been copied?" Chao Gai asked with a smile.

The eyes of several men who led the team to raid the house fell on Shi Xiu, who stepped forward. looked at the Zhuang Ke who was tied up in the distance, and deliberately lowered his voice.

"Brother, you're rich! We raided the royal family's treasury and secret room, and dug up the buried treasures. In addition, the main members of the Wang family have private money. A total of more than 8,000 taels of gold, more than 30,000 taels of silver, and more than 5,000 copper coins were found!

In addition, there are more than 200,000 stones of grain, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, a total of more than 10 boxes. There are hundreds of cattle, sheep and livestock in captivity in the backyard, and flocks of chickens and ducks. The cellar can hold dozens of truckloads of good wine, and other materials such as pig iron, cloth and other materials are piled up and are still being counted. ”

Su Ding, Guo Sheng, Yang Lin and others heard the numbers again, and they still called me obedient in their hearts, more than 100,000 yuan of silver! Most people can't even think about it.

Li Kui mainly looted money, and was dumbfounded when he heard about cattle, sheep and livestock, and fine wine. Hundreds, dozens of cars, an astonishing number, how long do you have to eat and drink!

"Okay, good!" Chao Gai was also a little surprised to hear the amount of money. The wealth accumulated by the Wang family is really a lot, worth at least two or three hundred thousand yuan.

It is no wonder that the enthusiasm of the landlords and old rich people in later generations is so high. And in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, everyone wanted to be a robber, this was a way to make a fortune!

Chao Gai's joy didn't last long, and his face became gloomy. Taking his Chao family as an example, hundreds of thousands of Guan family wealth have been accumulated by five or six generations, but I didn't expect the Wang family to have such a foundation for decades, almost half. indirectly proves that I don't know how many bad things have been done, and many families have died.

"Brother, why are you not happy about such a rich harvest?" Shi Xiu asked in a low voice.

"The Wang family is so rich, it means that all the bad things have been done, and it hurts to think about it." Chao Gai's sigh made Shi Xiu, Su Ding, Guo Sheng and others retreat excitedly. Even the arrogant Li Kui felt that the Wang family had gone too far.

Most of them know that the Chao family's wealth has been accumulated for nearly two hundred years. Today, such a family has been so rich for decades, which is enough to explain the problem.

"We should be happy and happy, and we will give more to the poor people." Chao Gai sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and patted everyone on the shoulder.

"By the way, where is the Wang family's land deed?"

Without saying a word, Guo Sheng asked people to bring two large boxes, which contained land deeds, land deeds, and most of the IOUs with the handprints of the tenants. Or the lack of grain rent is usury, which proves that the royal family exploited the people.

Land annexation has been the source of dynastic troubles since ancient times. However, in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the powerful had many privileges as long as they spent money. For example, the law will not affect, or even underpay or not pay miscellaneous taxes.

The county officials are not as good as the current management, and the local officials are in collusion with the rich to buy and sell. But the one in the temple only knew how to have fun and was deceived by traitors.

Those who are rich and powerful will try to seize the land in the hands of the common people. More and more people are becoming tenants, and the taxes are onerous. If people can't survive, they can only become refugees or bandits.

Chao Gai hated this kind of thing very much, and immediately ordered: "San Lang, burn all these IOUs in front of the people outside." ”

Shi Xiu, Su Ding, Guo Sheng and others ran outside with the box in response. Chao Gai asked the guards to load the money and grain, and looked at the pile of land deeds in a daze.

The situation of the title deed is somewhat special, and if the government has a record, it can only be bought and sold after notifying the county government. Getting the title deed is equivalent to a blank pile of paper.

I had to set it on fire!

Chao Gai had blackmailed Ma Dahu in Xixi Village, and he knew that there were many rules. There is no good way to return the land that has been forcibly seized to the people.

Just as he was carrying the box to the brazier, someone suddenly shouted.

"Big brother, wait a minute."

"King, don't burn, don't burn, don't burn."

Chao Gai hurriedly followed the sound and looked over and saw Wu Yong, who was covered in a black scarf, hurriedly running over with seven or eight people, followed by a few guards with swords.

These seven or eight people are of different ages, different heights, and the same thing is to stand tall and fold their bellies. Dressed in brocade clothes, a round face is ruddy and shiny, and obviously life is very moist.

Chao Gai was puzzled, and asked angrily: "Second master, who are they?" ”

"Big brother, these are the rich families in the market town, and they are very interested in the royal family's land deeds." Wu trotted in front of Chao Gai and whispered the reason.

It turned out that they were outside to avenge the people, and after the news spread, these rich people came one after another. I didn't know what the cramps were, so I found Wu Yong in groups. said that they had a relationship with the government and wanted to buy the title deed of the Wang family.

Wu Yong also knew that this kind of title deed was useless in his hands, so he hurriedly brought someone over.

After Chao Gai figured out the reason, he was a little happy in his heart, but he looked at the seven or eight family heads with a fierce look and asked, "Oh, you want to buy the land deed?" ”

Seven or eight of the rich men in the market town were a little frightened by the piercing eyes. However, looking at a bunch of title deeds, they all plucked up courageous responses.

"Yes, my lord, sell it to us!"

"That is, the Wang family has done a lot of evil, and we have also suffered from it.

"King, it's useless in your hands anyway, sell it to us for mutual benefit."

……

"Gotta get it, did you hear the news that the fourth master of the Wang family was killed by me?" Chao Gai is not stupid, and after a little thought, he can figure out why. The Wang family will definitely be destroyed after tonight, and the real estate and land will definitely be seized. Rather than waiting for others to come, it is better to strike first.

"Okay, it's okay to sell it to you, sit down and discuss the price?" Chao Gai's words immediately made seven or eight rich families full of joy. For the sake of huge profits, I really dare to sit down and negotiate a deal.

Chao Gai, Wu looked at each other and smiled, and bargained with these guys. After the two sides discussed the game, in the end, each took what they needed, and everyone was happy.

Chao Gai sold these useless title deeds at a price of 20%, to ensure that they would not be violated.

Seven or eight wealthy families paid for the crops in the Wang's fields, and all the crops in the fields this year went to the people. In the future, the rent will be reduced by 10%, and in order to show the sincerity of the family's cattle, sheep and livestock to sell at a low price, and help keep the grain.

Chao Gai thought of the problem of grain transportation and sold it at a low price. Otherwise, with his character that can squeeze oil out stones, he will definitely make a lot of money.

How can more than 200,000 stone of grain not be a small amount!

The Wang family had several grain shops in the market town, and controlled more than half of the grain business. There are people in the government who have so many hoards because the price of food is cheap. This is not the case in later generations when a semi-trailer can pull dozens or hundreds of tons.

In this ancient period when transportation was backward, more than 200,000 stone of grain was a bit troublesome. Chao Gai wanted to distribute it to the people, but his identity was a little unacceptable.

You can only make an agreement with those rich people to take what they need. There is no fear that these guys will defect if they are deterred by force, and sincere cooperation can be mutually beneficial.

The seven or eight rich people who got their wish knew that the king was leaving, and immediately turned back to make arrangements. And on the street outside the Wang's mansion, the cheers of the people were heard.

IOUs and usury notes were burned to ashes.

Those people who owed rent or borrowed usury suddenly seemed to be relieved, and they all cried with joy, and knelt down and kowtowed to Shi Xiu and the others.

Chao Gai once said that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone.

Desperately Saburo Shixiu took care of the people's righteousness of Qingfeng Mountain, and was not afraid of the government. Sell the things in the royal compound and exchange them for some pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks at a low price.

The people at the royal assembly cheered and rushed to demand the exchange. After all, the pots and pans of the rampant Wang family, and the family are very valuable. Now that it's half sold and half given, who wouldn't be happy to exchange it for livestock?

People come and go in the courtyard of the royal family, in and out, and the people are like the New Year. Wealthy households in the market town mobilized the villagers to push the Taiping cart to load the grain. Many people who made profits took the initiative to help the receiving team load the spoils.

Busy from late at night until dawn!

The poisonous starling Chen Leopard, the black mountain kite Chen Hu and the villagers of Chenjia Village met the response team halfway, and arrived more than half an hour ago overnight.

Wu Yong brought hundreds of carts loaded with gold, silver, jewelry, and grain. That is, the rich families in the town, and the three or five hundred vehicles contributed by the people are also full.

Chao Gai didn't plan to delay any longer, let people drive pigs, sheep and other livestock to the front, and behind them were cattle and horses carts heading to the northeast!

Hundreds of people from the Wang family took the initiative to say goodbye and watched this group of kings leave!
