Chapter 354: Beheading the public, grace and power
Su Zhenhong's death did not make many waves. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Since the night banquet of the mansion, he couldn't afford to be sick, and the entire inside and outside of the mansion was controlled by Chen Sanlang. The biggest significance of Su Zhenhong's life is the role of name. He was already terminally ill and dying, and if he was able to survive until now, he was still free and rich, so that he could survive.
Ironically, the next day, the imperial court finally arrived, bringing with him a decree of reward. It's a pity that the person who received the holy decree has already been buried in the earth.
This Qin Cha was a little dumbfounded, but in Yongzhou, a similar situation is not the case. The situation was chaotic, there was no order, and the change of rule was very frequent.
Chen Sanlang drafted another letter, and then rewarded the Qin Cha with a large sum of silver, and the Qin Cha embarked on the journey back to Beijing. He only hopes that the next time he goes to Laoshan Mansion, the person who sits in the government will still be Chen Sanlang, and there will be no more changes. Otherwise, just running around can toss people to death.
On the road, it's not smooth. This Qincha still bypassed the Yangzhou region, because Yongzhou and Zhongzhou had long been blocked by the barbarian army, and there was no way to find it.
In peacetime, it was a very popular errand. But for now, it's better to stay in the capital.
In the compromise, Chen Sanlang made a generous statement and stated what happened in Jing County, and in the end, of course, he inevitably asked for an official position. As for how the court decides, whether it is on his side or on the side of Yuan Wenchang, that is a matter for the government and the opposition.
I believe that this matter will not be easily resigned, and it is likely to cause a fierce game and quarrel between the government and the opposition.
The government and the opposition are too far away to take care of it for the time being, so Chen Sanlang still focuses on Laoshan Mansion first.
In the first war, he made great achievements and defeated the enemy, and completely controlled the Laoshan Mansion, but the remnants still existed. There were remnants of family forces in the city, and outside the city, the commanders of two counties also escaped, leading the defeated army to flee back to the county seat......
These are all problems that need to be solved urgently.
Chen Sanlang acted resolutely, and immediately sealed Jiang Caoqi as the general of the conquest, ordered 2,000 soldiers to go out of the city, and swept away all the opposition forces in the area under the jurisdiction of Fucheng.
Two thousand armor, well equipped and good enough to deal with.
However, Chen Wang's family was a little concerned about Jiang Caoqi's departure from the city, and finally the family was reunited, and he had to go out to fight again. Last night, when she reunited with her daughter and son-in-law, the woman was overjoyed and couldn't help but cry. Thinking that his daughter's family suffered a catastrophe and almost destroyed the family, he didn't expect this, and Chen Wang's heart couldn't help but be cut like a knife. If it weren't for Chen Sanlang's anger later, Sanyuan and the first, who gave her a lot of comfort, I am afraid that she would end up depressed.
Last night, Chen Wang had a long talk with his daughter and talked for a long time. In the conversation, there are many complaints, why don't you write a letter after saying it for so long.
Chen Ermei explained that at the beginning, they fled to Yongzhou, they were unfamiliar with the place, suffered a lot, and were afraid that writing back would affect their younger brother...... Later, I settled down and developed, and I heard the good news of Chen Sanlang's high school, so I thought I wanted to return to my hometown. But at this time, she was pregnant and had difficulty moving, so she delayed again, and tried to write a letter several times, but she also ran aground for various reasons......
Later, war broke out.
Listening to the many ups and downs, Chen Wang's tears rippled again. Chen Ermei was afraid that her mother would cry too much and hurt her body, so she hurriedly worked with Chen Sanlang to persuade her mother to go back to the house and rest.
Family reunions are always mixed with a bit of sadness and joy.
In the end, it's a great event.
Putting aside the family affairs for the time being, Chen Sanlang asked Jiang Cao to go out of the town to press, and the handling in the city was handed over to Zhang Bo.
Zhang Bo is quiet and resolute, and he has a bit of a general's demeanor. He has a good reputation in Laoshan Mansion, and he is very popular in charge of the affairs of the inner city. It has a different enmity with several major families, and when it comes to doing things, it will naturally not be ruthless.
On this day, Chen Sanlang opened the trial in the palace hall, which caused a sensation in the city.
The prisoners were mainly the heads of several major families, and the litigants were tens of thousands of ordinary people. As long as there are grievances and accusations, they can go to court to talk about it.
At the end of the day, the crimes of several major families are simply unspeakable.
After the interrogation, Chen Sanlang was unceremonious and directly sentenced to death.
In this scene, a total of 89 people were beheaded, and the people of the city felt both joy and encouragement, but also trembling in their hearts.
The so-called combination of grace and power is nothing more than that.
The property and property of several major families were all confiscated and owned by the government. After counting overnight, there were about nearly one million taels of gold and silver, more than 30,000 acres of fields, and countless grains......
The numbers are staggering. This shows how fierce the looting was during the period when they ruled the city.
On the other hand, the people in the city are yellow and thin, and they are starving all over the wilderness.
In order to alleviate the famine, Chen Sanlang issued another decree to open the granary, and each person could receive a bucket of grain.
As soon as this order came out, the city was really boiling, and everyone cheered and was grateful to Chen Sanlang. Many people even set up Chen Sanlang's immortal card at home, and bowed to incense day and night.
This was followed by the actual implementation of the land opening order, as long as there is no owner's wasteland, anyone can go to reclaim it, and the maximum limit is set according to the population. However, at the same time, it is also limited that in the process of reclamation of wasteland, the first principle is to be cultivated on a first-served basis, and it is not allowed to rush and fight, and if there is a violation, the right to open up the land will be deprived.
In this way, wherever people dare to do anything, they are honestly looking for land to reclaim.
In fact, there is no need to fight, because the war has been in chaos for a long time, and the fields are not known to be wasted. Combined with the drastic decline in the population, every household has access to enough land.
To tell the truth, the people's enthusiasm for farming is not very high now, and they have taken the field and delayed farming. Because everyone is still suspicious, afraid that when the field is planted, if they are not careful, Chen Sanlang will be defeated by one of them and replaced by him. Then the decree will naturally change again, and at that time, the hard work will be in vain.
Who wants to do such a thing?
After all, farming is not a quick thing, and there must be a long process of planting in spring and harvesting in autumn. This is also a major root cause of the large-scale abandonment of farmland in the event of war.
In view of this, Chen Sanlang repeatedly issued orders and reaffirmed that he continued to introduce various welfare benefits to encourage and attract people to go into the fields and start clearing the wasteland.
For example, the first batch of cultivators received free seeds, free farming tools, and rented cattle and horses at very low prices......
For example, those who are active in farming, there are also rewards in Fucheng, gold, silver, rice and grain, which are very expensive.
When a few families who were rated as "advanced families" really received all kinds of materials and were hyped up by the officials, all the people were red-eyed and hot, and they rushed out of their homes and rushed to the fields.
Laoshan Mansion, an old city that was already about to rust to death, has become hot and vibrant. (To be continued.) )
