Wang Ze didn't have anything to do with these officials at all, and directly controlled all the officials, so that these people couldn't ventilate and report the news, and couldn't cause trouble for him, and then let the embroidered envoy lead the army to raid his home.

As for these officials, Wang Ze knew that there must be innocent among them, and they could be tried slowly. After cleaning up those nobles, heroes, and officials, we will naturally be able to find evidence.

The embroidered messenger rode out of the city directly with the big Qianjing, and then rushed to the countryside. There is a lot of space required to smelt and mint coins, not to mention that it is still illegal, even those nobles and powerful people do not dare to do this in the city, so they are all hiding in the countryside.

This is not only hidden and difficult to detect, but also convenient for transporting supplies.

It's just that these nobles and heroes don't know, and the place they think is very hidden is easily discovered by those people, and they tell the embroidered clothes to use to receive rewards.

The embroidered envoy and the army quickly rushed to the countryside, and those nobles and nobles who were hiding in the manor to smelt copper coins did not have time to react at all, when they heard a boom.

The gate of the manor was directly slammed open, and a group of elite horsemen rushed in. A large number of soldiers rushed into the manor, and then controlled everyone, and those who dared to resist were directly killed.

Soon the embroiderer found the foundry and a large amount of new money that had not yet had time to melt down, and a large amount of bad money that had just been minted was piled up next to it.

One of the embroiderers stepped forward to pick up a bad coin, and saw that it was very light and thin, and the embroiderer picked up the balance used to weigh it next to him, and then placed a new coin and a bad coin at both ends.

I saw that the inferior money was directly lifted, and the embroiderer put in two more bad coins, and the balance was restored.

"What a big bold!" Xiuyi pinched the bad money in his hand with force, only to hear a crisp sound, and the bad money that had just been minted not long ago actually broke open.

"It's only one-third of its weight, and it's even minus copper, you guys are damned!"

"Bring them all back to me, and wait for His Royal Highness the prince to drop them!"

"Yui!"

Immediately afterward, the soldiers took everyone back. With Wang Ze's order, except for a part of the soldiers left behind, the great cadres and elite cavalry poured out.

Not only those powerful and powerful officials, but even those nobles, Wang Ze did not let go at all.

This kind of thing of private coinage, just those powerful and big officials, can't handle it at all, and Xungui, as the head snake of the land, must intervene in this kind of business.

Wang Ze directly ordered someone to hold his warrant and go to the homes of those nobles, and let them go and announce: "In the name of His Majesty, the four princes will pacify Linzi, supervise the reform of the currency system, mint private money, sit on the law, and come to capture it on the orders of the four princes. ”

The nobles were horrified when they saw the heralds who came directly to the door, and they didn't expect that His Royal Highness the prince didn't give them any face, and directly sent people to arrest them.

This is not the style of political struggle of the great cadres at all, you must know that even if you sit in the court, you will find evidence first, and only after there is enough evidence will you strike a thunderous blow.

How can there be such a fanfare, directly send messengers to get people.

But in the face of this situation, these nobles did not dare to rebel at all, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and these nobles have basically never been on the battlefield, let them resist? They simply don't have the guts to do that.

And even if they wanted to stand out and resist, they would be stopped by others.

Crazy, now you can be arrested, maybe it's just that the head of the family dies and the others are exiled, but if you dare to resist, then it's not only the head of the family who is dead, it's the whole family that is dead!

As for the other families uniting together, it is even more of a dream, these nobles are indeed guarded by personal soldiers, but there are only a few personal guards, and all the armor and weapons are inferior. The Great Qian court forbade the possession of armor privately, and violators were guilty of felonies, and there were no crossbow arrows.

These people dare to rebel, and those troops will laugh in their dreams, which is a meritorious service to them.

In this era, the combat effectiveness of soldiers with armor and without armor can be said to be worlds apart. A team of heavily armed warriors can easily crush and crush enemies several times or even ten times their own.

Soon all the nobles who sat in the law were brought, and then Wang Ze ordered people to list all the evidence found in the house, and tried these nobles, officials, and heroes.

All the main culprits were directly killed, and their families were exiled to the Western Regions. All family property was confiscated.

It wasn't until Wang Ze counted the confiscated land that Wang Ze was shocked by the wealth of these people.

These nobles have five or even ten times more land in their hands than they see. A large amount of the land was concealed by them in various ways, and the officials also controlled a large amount of land.

Originally, when Daqian founded the country, sixty percent of the land here in Linzi was in the hands of the people. As a result, decades have passed, and the people have reclaimed a large amount of land, and the land in Linzi has increased fivefold compared with the time of the founding of the country, but the land in the hands of the people has hardly changed from decades ago.

You must know that over the years, the number of people in Linzi has tripled.

The population has increased threefold, the arable land has increased fivefold, but the farmland in the hands of the people has not increased. All the land that has grown has been plundered in various ways by these nobles, magnates, and officials.

"You have so much heaven and earth family property, it can be said that you have fine clothes and jade food, and it is not an exaggeration to spend money like earth, has the court ever treated you badly?"

"Now that the imperial court is implementing a new money law, not only do you not support it, but you dare to take the lead in privately minting bad coins! Did your ancestors teach you to do this? ”

"Is it because you don't have enough food to eat? Is it because you don't have enough gold and silver to spend? You don't even let go of the last bit of savings in the hands of the people, you are digging the foundation of the great cadres, such greedy people, they want to kill you all! ”

Wang Ze was furious, and scolded these nobles with a fierce voice, spraying these people one by one with red faces and red ears, ashamed.

"You sit on the criminal law, before you come alone, your father has already explained, all your family heads are to blame, all of them are beheaded, and they are stripped of their titles, and everyone within five generations of the family is assigned to the Western Regions, and they will not be pardoned!"

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

These nobles immediately thanked them, although their lives and titles were gone, but the family was saved, although they were to be exiled to the Western Regions, but as long as they were alive, they would have their own days in the future.

What's more, they now also know that the imperial court wants to develop the Western Regions, and there are few cadres in the Western Regions, even if they send the Western Regions, they will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions!
