Chapter 179: You get off the horse for me
The embroidery made the formation, and the news of the ecological survey came out.
Qiongzhou shook.
Many big families are actually quite numb.
is a little accustomed to the emperor's endless methods of tossing them.
There's nothing wrong with it, if you want to expand the imperial power and control the place, don't you have to do this?
The Donghu people went south, and the barbarians wanted to govern the country, who did they use?
Cold?
Digging three feet into the ground, how many talents can be found from the cold door?
The family was pushed out by Donghu Babu.
Yu Rang is a typical example of this.
The more chaotic the world, the more troublesome the family, and the greater the power and authority.
Just like hundreds of years ago.
When Emperor Zhaolie and Cao Hou did not fully rise, how could there be any group of heroes.
It's just two branches of the Yuan clan in Runan, each leading a little brother to fight in the ring.
The emperor looked at the family once or twice.
Again, it's normal.
And this is a sign that the emperor already had when he was in Jiaozhou and divided the fields among the wealthy families.
One of the reasons for the rebellion was that the emperor was worried about what the emperor would do to their land?
Fortunately, this time it was not a confiscation of land, but a clearing of land on the grounds of "ecological survey".
Let them make up for the tax evasion.
The more taxes the family paid, the more abundant the treasury became.
The treasury has money, whether it is to govern the people or expand the army and recruit soldiers, it can make the imperial court stronger.
Then the prestige of the emperor will be higher, more unshakable, almost a god.
Although judging from what the emperor has done at present, he is almost a god.
But for the time being, it is not enough to make money out of nothing.
Otherwise, he would not have had to recuperate after fighting Gaozhou.
In this way, the imperial power is dominant, and the voice of the family naturally becomes smaller again.
Today it is just to collect taxes on the land, will tomorrow we do anything to their land?
It always makes people feel that it is not a taste.
It is equivalent to the emperor holding a knife and cutting meat on the body of the family to eat.
Not to mention that it hurts to the bone marrow, after eating enough and eating fat, maybe it will be punched and snatched away a few children in his pocket.
Who can bear it?
The wealthy families are trembling.
I have to say that the emperor really picked a good time.
The family that dared to come out has been wiped out, and now only the dazed public who don't know what to do is left.
At this time, Manhuai Ying and Hua Chengyu have launched an ecological survey in an all-round way.
They started their research with the Jiang family, the He family and the Xiao family.
The representatives of the three families are Jiang Sujiao, He Kun, and Xiao Yuanchang.
These people certainly don't have to worry.
Especially He Kun.
Don't look at his bad reputation, but people know what can and can't be done.
There are really a lot of He's land.
Although it is the Ho clan of Bukpo, the land is not limited to Bukpo County.
Almost all over Qiongzhou, even Gaozhou, Jiaozhou, and even the prefectures and counties under the rule of the Donghu people, there are some.
Wherever the Han army fought, He Kun bought the land.
Not to mention anything else, after the chaos, the population grows, as long as there is land, you can make money lying down.
Beipu He is actually not a big surname.
But since He Kun became an official in the court, he has faintly had the momentum of impacting the richest man in Qiongzhou.
The He family almost knows how much land they have.
It is also known how much additional tax will be paid on these properties once they are taxed.
He Kun was a little unbearable, but he was still willing.
His younger brother He Hong is not so generous.
"Brother...... Brother, what happened to you?? ”
"You are greedy, don't harm the Nine Clans!!"
He Hong broke out in a cold sweat for a while, thinking that it was the old brother's east window incident.
As a result, He Kun shook his head, and without a trace, he held He Hong's hand and ripped it off.
"The imperial court is to investigate the ecology and find it, and it is the same auspicious as Kun."
"Not against me, Ho, but for everyone."
"Let the embroidered clothes make a check on the ecology, if you can really find Xiangrui, I'm afraid that you and I still have merit."
When He Kun said this, He Hong was stupid.
"Xiangrui? Merit? ”
"This is under the guise of clearing the land!"
"How much money will be paid if the tax is paid?!"
He Kun is also helpless, every time the emperor does something, he has to work hard to speak.
In the previous rebellion, he stayed at home for three days and three nights before he said that he had moved the people to stabilize and not act rashly.
And now again.
He had no choice but to continue to persuade:
"In order to set an example, the Jiang's He family and the Xiao family were the first to conduct ecological investigations."
"The Maritime Silk Road is very important, and I came back on purpose just for this purpose."
"No one should be lucky, you can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it for a lifetime."
"If an auspicious beast really emerges from the land of the He clan, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"In our family, how can there be any auspicious beasts!!!"
He Hong was really distressed, his eyes were red, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, crying loudly.
"Yes, it's not up to you."
He Kun's eyes closed, throughout the ages, what auspicious beasts, are there still fewer artificial?
Under the guise of an ecological survey, the emperor informed you in advance, which is already good.
If someone reports that your home is full of purple gas and white deer is infested, then send an embroidered messenger to the door and forcibly check the ecology, but it will be over!
He Kun personally inspected the family's land account books, and everything was detailed.
When Man Huaiying and Chengyu came to the door, he offered it with his own hands.
The embroidered envoy made an inventory of the land, and in three days, Man Huaiying made an investigation report.
Because of He Kun's strong support, he specially informed He Kun, and by the way, he also asked He Kun to pass on the message to other families.
"Lord He, the locations of this investigation are mainly divided into three categories."
"The first category is the key areas selected according to the migration routes of birds."
"The second category is the birds of prey, and the two focus areas are selected."
"The third category is the mammal and bird area, mainly near the mountains."
"The embroidered clothes made the investigation for nearly three days, not afraid of hardships, with the scorching sun on his head, and over the ditch and beam."
"Through observing footprints, listening to sounds, squatting on the spot, etc., more than 50 species of animals and plants were investigated, and the species, ecological environment, and sub-areas were registered on the spot."
"The survey data so far shows that there are 56 known species of animals and plants in Ho's land, and the results are quite fruitful."
He Kun was stunned when he heard this.
Isn't ecological survey a cover for the land?
How do you sound like it?
The animals, plants and trees you see on weekdays are not the only ones.
There are more than fifty kinds??
Man Huaiying showed He Kun the ecological investigation report.
He Kun was even more shocked when he saw the pictures and various data above.
Is it necessary to be so professional?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty taught you?"
Man Huaiying nodded.
Your Majesty is different from the emperors who grew up in the deep palace, and when you are in the people, you play with animals a lot.
Knowing this, it doesn't seem very strange.
He Kun wiped his sweat and gave a cup of tea to Man Huaiying:
"It's been a hard work."
People are really here to conduct ecological surveys, although by the way, they also do the work of clearing the land, but such a professional thing is in front of them, and no one can say anything at all.
"By the way, there's this."
Man Huaiying didn't receive tea, he felt that what he was doing was just what he was doing.
Then he clapped his hands.
An embroidered envoy came to He Kun with a deer wrapped in red silk and a snow-white body.
"This thing ran into the mountains and forests, and they chased it for a while before they found it, and that mountain forest belongs to your He family."
He Kun: "."
Damn, I can really find it.
Although the white deer is one of the more common ones in auspiciousness.
Back then, Emperor Xiaowu even used white deer skin as a currency envoy.
But I can't resist that people are really auspicious beasts!
Standing next to He Kun, He Hong, who was still a little indignant, broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Ho did not resist.
If the ecological investigation is strongly resisted, and the white deer is found out again, the Nine Clans will be in danger.
He Kun trembled and sent away Man Huaiying and the embroidered messenger.
This time, I am afraid that the general trend is unstoppable.
Not only can a large amount of taxes be collected, but also a lot of auspicious can be collected.
Three days for a blue bird, five days for a white deer.
Maybe one day you really find the dragon and phoenix?!
auspicious and frequent, and the prestige of the Han has been greatly improved.
Ordinary people, you can believe this.
What is the destiny of heaven in Han!
He Kun glanced at He Hong, who was still trembling.
Ponder in your heart.
Although this kid has no foresight and is still a miser, he still has a bit of force.
When you go to sea later, take it with you and see if you can earn some credit.
The clan can't keep holding him back, right?
When the embroidered clothes envoy investigated the ecological environment of the three families, most of them were quite cooperative.
Needless to say, Xiao Yuanchang and He Kun have a great influence in the family.
Although Jiang Suzhu is a woman, as the woman most likely to ascend to the throne of the queen, she also has a great influence on the Jiang family.
And her younger brother Jiang Dihan also had a ten-year appointment with the emperor.
Therefore, it is not only the Jiang family that has split up in Qiongzhou, but they are extremely cooperative.
The Jiang family, who was far away in Jinling, even sent a land account book.
However, Man Huaiying said that he really did an ecological survey and refused to accept it directly.
And this ecological survey is indeed quite effective.
Qiongzhou has a unique geographical environment, and there is only one road to the mainland, which is basically isolated for a long time.
And there are no big carnivores, and there is no competition.
It was developed relatively late and was less affected by humans.
So much so that the auspicious beasts have really found a lot.
After checking and checking, it cost a lot of money to breed auspicious beasts.
It turned out to be a little surprising to a guy who went wrong.
Liu Ke's eldest brother's son, Liu Zhu.
He is the sixth in line, and the first five brothers have all been princes.
Because several old brothers died relatively neatly and young, they left not much political legacy.
But there are a lot of legacies.
Like this land.
I couldn't inherit it before, because the Donghu people had already occupied most of the world.
But Liu Ke was like a fierce man descending from the sky, and directly drove all the Donghu people away.
The clan will be able to take back their land according to the title deed.
Liu Ke had been personally recruiting before, so naturally he didn't have time to deal with these trivial things.
Xiao Yuanchang can't control the clan.
In addition, Liu Ke has been favored by God several times, so that people think that Liu's family has the destiny of heaven.
It makes these clans even more lawless.
Liu Zhu has his own Zhuangzi, nominally inheriting his unlucky father's land, which is about 1,000 acres in Qiongzhou.
When his father died, the Han had just moved south.
At that time, they were all in Qiongzhou, the southernmost part, with 1,000 acres of land, which was already quite wealthy.
But for now, it's relatively rare.
In Qiongzhou, even if it is an ordinary wealthy family, it is a starting point of 10,000 acres of land.
Liu Zhu's 1,000 acres of land is really not enough.
Moreover, Liu Zhu is not comparable to the wealthy family in terms of power.
At most, they can only rely on the name of the clan to deter some timid people.
Even if they want to annex land, they want to get more land, but their ability is limited.
If you don't say something that should be said, even if you turn a blind eye and skip Liu Zhu, it won't make the court pay much less taxes.
But the less land there was, the stronger his resistance became.
actually took a cadre directly and directly stopped the embroidery messenger who was preparing to conduct an ecological survey.
He even said presumptuously that whoever wants to clear the land must first step on them.
After hearing this, Man Huaiying rushed over in person, and kept spinning, and there were two taels of meat missing on his stomach.
Seeing this scene, he didn't take a few breaths, and asked Liu Zhu and the others directly:
"What do you want to do, ecological investigation is a national policy set by His Majesty himself, are you trying to obstruct the national policy?!"
"Don't think that you are the children of the clan, you can be so presumptuous!"
Liu Zhu rode on the horse, looked at Man Huaiying below, and said proudly:
"My uncle is His Majesty today, what a bullshit national policy, this country is our Liu family!"
"If you want to clear the land, you shouldn't clear the head of our clan!"
Man Huaiying frowned, and said slowly:
"It's not the land that clears, it's the ecological survey."
"These days, through ecological surveys, a lot of auspicious rui has been discovered."
"Your Highness is a clan, so you will definitely support the ecological investigation, right?"
Liu Zhu raised his whip and said even more impatiently:
"I don't care if you're an ecological survey or a land clearing."
"I am a noble man of heaven, and I belong to the same vein as His Majesty today, if there are really any auspicious beasts in the earth, it is also because of Your Majesty's virtue!"
"It's you."
"You group of embroidered clothes, holding chicken feathers as arrows, dare to disrespect me!"
"If you insist on this, don't blame the sword for not having long eyes!"
Liu Zhu did not lose his mind, and first detained the auspicious beast to the emperor in the name of the clan.
In this way, even if there are really any auspicious beasts, they will not be tied like the big families.
The clan is indeed difficult.
After all, whatever you say, you can put the great righteousness on the Liu family.
"Hugh is rampant!"
Man Huaiying didn't back down, and replied loudly:
"Ecological investigation can be obstructed by your words, even if the embroidered clothes are dead, you have to do it!"
"If you dare to disobey, this official will not tolerate it, and will be severely punished!"
turned into rain and hurried over, listening to Manhuaiying's words, he was stunned.
Good guy, the embroiderer is not your subordinate, and you don't feel distressed if you die, do you?
He looked at Liu Zhu again.
imperial clan
It's really hard to deal with!
In fact, judging from his thoughts, it is best to skip the clan.
After the complete recovery of the homeland, the clan may occupy more land.
Even if they don't collect it, there will be all kinds of people who will deliver the land to them.
But the current clan basically has no influence, and there are only three or two big cats and small cats.
The land occupied, even if it is combined, is not comparable to a family.
Open your eyes and close your eyes, omit the past.
After all, we all know that the emperor loves his ancestors, what if the brothers and nephews also love the house and the Wu?
Belch.
It seems that the emperor killed a lot of brothers.
But it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that these courtiers are inconvenient to do to the clan.
So, turning into rain and persuading:
"Lord Man, I think we can investigate those large areas of land first."
"These small places, you can skip them for a while."
As he spoke, he kept winking at Man Huaiying, trying to hint at one or two.
Seeing this, Liu Zhu clamped the horse's belly even harder, and the BMW under his crotch neighed, making him even more proud.
Look, you turned into rain and the emperor took a fancy to you, what else is the commander of the embroidered clothes, the third-grade master, and when you see the clan, you can't be polite?
Man Huaiying's brows furrowed.
It's not that he didn't understand that there was something in the words of the rain.
But he didn't think about appeasement at all.
is similar to He Kun's body type, but his personality is completely different.
Man Huaiying has his uprightness and his fierceness.
His voice was loud and clear, with an undeniable tone, like a sharp sword, hitting people's hearts:
"One is one, two is two."
"Let your people continue to Qingzhang!"
turned into rain and had to do it.
According to the emperor's assignment, in the environmental investigation, Man Huaiying was the chief official.
Embroidery makes just to work with.
But at this time, when a team of embroidery envoys crossed Liu Zhu and began to conduct an ecological survey.
Liu Zhu's expression changed, and he directly pulled out the sword on his waist, and slashed an embroidered messenger who had not had time to guard against it on the spot.
The embroiderer didn't notice it, his eyes were full of horror, his body staggered, and blood gushed from his slashed neck.
He tried to support his body, but could not withstand the intense pain.
Life gradually left him, and his body finally fell to the ground, dead without blinking.
Liu Zhu's body was splashed with a little blood, he wiped it slightly, but still did not put the sword into the sheath, looked at Man Huaiying and the others, and sneered:
"I said that whoever dares to touch the clan's field will die!"
Man Huaiying stood in place, his brows furrowed even deeper.
He didn't expect that Liu Zhu would take violent actions so decisively, and things were somewhat unexpected.
And Liu Zhu has this kind of courage, maybe it is not his own idea.
There may even be families and wealthy families, behind it.
Once the ecological survey is opened, it is difficult to strictly implement the rest.
Liu Zhu drew his sword, but he was also used as a sword.
Liu Zhu's family members were also shocked by His Royal Highness's actions.
They originally thought that with just verbal opposition, a little deterrence, the embroiderer would be able to retreat.
But now that they saw that Liu Zhu actually did it himself, the family couldn't help but be surprised.
But there was no panic.
They are from the old Liu family!
The embroiderer's movements also froze for a moment.
Hua Chengyu stepped forward, measured the pulse of the embroidered messenger who fell to the ground, and shook his head.
Everyone present stared intently at this scene.
Someone couldn't help but gasp, and was speechless in surprise.
However, despite everyone's surprise, Liu Zhu still maintained a sneering expression.
Just an embroidered cloth envoy Xiaoqi, from the seventh rank official, killed and killed.
turned into rain and picked up Xiaoqi's body, and beside Man Huaiying, he said softly:
"Withdraw! Wait until I report this matter to Your Majesty first! ”
"In the affairs of the clan, it is inconvenient for us and other foreign ministers to act rashly."
Man Huaiying looked at the dead body of the little flag and did not move.
Although he just said that even if the embroidered clothes are killed, the ecological investigation must continue.
But it doesn't mean that he will watch the embroidered messenger die.
The ministers of the Han Dynasty are all bloody.
What's more, he was a martial artist turned professional.
It was killed from the chaos in Gaozhou.
Man Huaiying suddenly took two steps forward, his pace was steady, his head was held high, and he looked directly at Liu Zhu, who was still on the horse, holding the blood-stained sword, showing off his might.
"Just because of your small clan, you dare to be so big, and reply in front of this official."
"Do you think that if you are a clan surnamed Liu, I won't dare to punish you?"
"Do you think that the embroidered clothes make Xiaoqi only have seven small positions, and he can be killed at will without being punished?"
"Do you think that just by virtue of the group of family members under you, and with the identity of the clan surnamed Liu, I will not dare to kill you?"
Man Huaiying stared at Liu Zhu with straight eyes, his body straightened, and his shoulders raised slightly.
The chubby body actually looks mighty and majestic.
Although standing in front of the horse, he was more than a head shorter than Liu Zhu, but the majestic momentum at this time was still above Liu Zhu, who had just drawn his sword and killed.
Suddenly, he shouted:
"Get off the horse!"
Liu Zhu was interrupted by this reprimand, his expression was stunned for a while, and he froze in place.
The original proud posture was a little shaken, and between his eyebrows, there was a trace of hesitation.
Even the surrounding family members and embroidered envoys were somewhat suppressed.
The mellow man immediately suppressed the audience.
Man Huaiying seized the moment when Liu Zhu was stunned and took the opportunity to snatch the sword in his hand.
The sword was still bloody.
Man Huaiying's eyes flickered, he clenched the hilt of the sword, and his hand suddenly exerted force, and the sharp sword blade pointed directly at Liu Zhu.
Without hesitation, a sword was slashed.
With a scream, blood splattered out.
Liu Zhu's body, like a kite with a broken string, fell backwards.
A look of horror and despair appeared on his face.
He struggled weakly, but the pain of the wound made it difficult for him to stabilize his body.
Liu Zhu's body fell to the ground with inertia.
The horses also lost their master's control in an instant, and raised a panicked neigh, kicking their hooves wildly, stirring up dust and grass clippings.
The people around them witnessed this scene, and shock and fear froze on their faces.
They couldn't believe what was happening in front of them, and a chill welled up in their hearts.
Whether it is Liu Zhu's family or the embroidery envoys, there is only one idea in their minds.
Do you dare to kill the clan?
Man Huaiying didn't even look at it, walked to Hua Chengyu's side, and closed the eyes of the little flag.
Then he said without hurrying:
"The children of the clan obstructed the ecological investigation and killed the embroidered clothes envoy Xiaoqi, and now he has been ambushed!"
Then he threw the bloodstained sword to the ground.
When there was a loud sound, everyone was so shocked that they almost jumped to their feet.
Man Huaiying stretched out his hands again, facing the rain, unable to hear any emotion.
"The embroidered clothes envoy has the duty of supervising hundreds of officials."
"I killed the clan without permission, and I asked the commander to take me to His Majesty to ask for my guilt."
