Chapter 506: The Afterglow of the Imperial Sun

This time, the turmoil in the border army involved a lot, and the court was shocked.

Immediately followed by anger, it is not impossible for local tyrants, families and border army generals to marry and form an alliance, but it is a felony to fornicate with barbarians and sell prohibited materials to barbarians.

What these officials wanted to restrict was the emperor's rights, not to overthrow the entire Great Cadre. Therefore, the officials of the DPRK and China deeply hated fornication and the sale of contraband.

They don't want to wake up one day, those barbarians break through the border fortress, drive straight in, and drink the Yellow River.

If these frontier heroes and families dare to do this, then don't blame them for being ruthless. Beidi County, Yunzhong County, Shangjun, Shuofang, Jiuyuan, Taiyuan, Yanmen and other counties were implicated in hundreds of powerful families and families by the imperial court.

The orders of the three clans of Wang Shuyi were quickly implemented, and more than 30,000 men were killed among these families and heroes, and more than 100,000 were reduced to slavery. It can be said that the nobles, heroes, and big families in the border areas were killed seventy percent because of this incident.

The remaining thirty percent of those who did not participate in it were also trembling and did not dare to go beyond it in the slightest.

Even the nobles of the Northland, even the nobles, heroes, and families in other places were secretly frightened after hearing about it, and hurriedly told their families not to break the law and to act carefully.

In the past, although His Majesty punished the law severely, he had never killed so much, and this time, it can be said that these people were frightened.

At the same time, Wang Zhuo confiscated all the wealth of these people, half of which went to the treasury Taifu and half to the Shaofu. In addition to these, the imperial court re-checked the amount of border troops. This time, no one dared to confront each other, and all the generals were honest one by one.

Even many people secretly called Wang Zhuo a tyrannical king.

After verifying the number of soldiers, Wang Zhuo ordered the border army to make up for three years' military salaries and food salaries. This amount of money does not need to be paid by the imperial court, just a part of the property that has been confiscated directly.

More than 100 noble and powerful families were killed, these people occupied millions of acres of farmland, and the grain in each family was piled up, and it was impossible to use up the distribution to the border army.

These grains were not transported by the imperial court, but were built directly on the transportation arteries of the Northland. The grain was stored here and used as food for the border army in the future.

This time, more than 100 noble and powerful families were cleaned up, and the imperial court suddenly mastered a large area of land, except for a part of this land that was distributed to the local government, so that the government could find someone to cultivate it as official land, and the rest was changed to Huangzhuang.

In Daqian, whether it is an official field or an imperial village, taxes need to be paid, but the purpose of building an official field and an imperial village is to prevent the land from being encroached upon by the wealthy and wealthy families.

With this umbrella, these farming people will be able to eat enough and live a better life. The tenant rent in Huangzhuang is not high, only 20%, and at the same time, all kinds of water conservancy facilities in Huangzhuang are good, and the acres of land are also good fields. After all, to establish Huangzhuang, it is natural to choose a good place.

In addition, Huangzhuang can also be on credit, and the interest is very low, so you don't have to worry about being exploited by other powerful and nobles. Coupled with the identity of the emperor, those small officials who collect taxes dare not oppress them, and on the whole, life is still very good.

After clearing a large number of nobles, powerful and wealthy families, the vacated large tracts of land can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people to cultivate. In this way, on the other hand, the population problem of the cadres has also been alleviated.

This is similar to the previous change. At least on the surface, the problem of the contradiction between man and land has been temporarily resolved.

This time, there was such a big problem in the border army, and the whole court became vigilant against the border areas. At the same time, the imperial court decided not to hand over the money and food of the border army to the generals of the border army for distribution.

However, as for how to distribute the money and food to the border soldiers, there was also a debate in the court for a while.

The power of money and food can be said to be second only to the military power, many officials of the imperial court want to send special officials to distribute money and food, and the military nobles have objected, if these officials are allowed to master the money and food, they will be able to put their hands into the army at that time.

Neither the nobles nor the emperor wanted court officials to put their hands in the army.

But if you continue to let the nobles and generals control the money and food, there will definitely be problems in the future. Wang Zhuo is very sure of this. But if the money and grain are not handed over to the noble generals, then they can only be handed over to the court officials for distribution.

Wang thought about it and didn't find a good way.

There was also a lot of debate in the court, and in the end, a rule was reluctantly formulated.

Wang Zhuo ordered the establishment of the Food Supervision Bureau, and the Food Supervision Department dispatched a part of the embroidered clothing envoys, some noble generals, and some court officials, so that the three parties could supervise each other.

Each time the payment of food and wages is paid, three people must sign and draw the pledge together.

It seems that this design is very good, but the destruction of the system is a little bit of a change. How long this system can be maintained depends on the ability of future generations, after all, even the various systems left by King Wen are changing little by little.

Although the Food Supervision Bureau was established, the noble generals were still a little dissatisfied with this, and the court officials were also a little dissatisfied, but they had a hand in the border army, although this hand was not deep, but as long as a hole was opened, it would slowly go deeper in the future.

The royal family was also a little dissatisfied with this result, and was also dissatisfied with some noble generals. After all, it is these people who are not angry and greedy for money, which has caused such consequences.

In addition to these, the grain produced in the northern Guantian and Huangzhuang was used as the food and salary of the border army after paying taxes, and the imperial court was to transport grain and grass from other places to supply Huangzhuang.

In this way, it can save the consumption of grain and grass transportation and save the expenses of the imperial court. The royal family has nothing to lose.

At the same time, after a purge of the northern border army, the imperial court began to recruit soldiers to speed up the replenishment of the strength of the border army.

This time, the turmoil in the border army, although it did not cause a major chaos because of the timely attack, still caused a lot of impact. The turmoil in the border towns made both the Xiongnu and the Xianbei people a little strange. Fortunately, the great cadres are famous, and these people do not dare to act rashly.

This also gave the imperial court time to replenish its troops, and in addition to the border army, there were many pioneer nobles on the border, and these pioneer nobles also had elites in their hands, and with the cooperation, the Huns and Xianbei people could not please at all.

Since the strength of the northern capital of Daqian Town has been greatly reduced, it is no longer possible to restrain the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, and now the Xiongnu and Xianbei people have begun to compete for the position of the overlord of the grassland.

The Xianbei people have already learned some iron-smelting techniques because they have obtained some craftsmen from North Korea. Able to build some simple weapons, although the number is not as large as the Huns, but the overall strength has surpassed the Huns.

Now the northeastern part of the grassland has been completely occupied by the Xianbei people.

——

Although Emperor Xiaowei did not continue to implement the reforms, he alleviated the contradictions of the Daqian at that time through a series of measures, and also allowed the Daqian to continue to be brilliant, and even the Daqian was more prestigious during this period, but after its collapse, the Daqian inevitably continued to slide.

The incomplete reform of the law, and the emergence of new problems at the same time, made the Great Qian slide step by step into the abyss - "The History of the Rise and Fall of the Great Qian Empire"
