Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chongqing Prefecture is the second richest city in Sichuan and Sichuan after Chengdu. It is also a city with a permanent population of nearly one million.

Chongqing Prefecture and Chengdu Prefecture, the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, have permanent registered populations of 900,000 and 800,000, but including some floating populations, the populations of these two cities should actually be counted as one million.

It can be said that you are rich, but as we all know, most of the wealth is not concentrated in the hands of ordinary people. In fact, ordinary people do not have much wealth at all.

Before traveling through time, Zhang Yong had seen a conclusion on the Internet. Economists and scientists calculated a very interesting result, that is, 1% of the population controls 99% of the wealth.

This situation was even more applicable in ancient times.

The ancient aristocratic families and aristocrats basically occupied all the resources and wealth in society.

And ordinary civilian families can barely make ends meet. You want to save some money?

hehe! It's impossible. It's already good if you can fill your stomach.

Rather than asking these ordinary people to hand over their property, I would rather go to you big players.

It would be easier for you to rob all the civilians in a city than to rob a few wealthy families and nobles in a city.

There is nothing in today's society. Things like checks exist, and all wealth is stored in one's own home.

Before Zhang Yong stayed away from the wealthy families in Sichuan and Sichuan, it was because the wealthy nobles in other places were still polite to him.

And after he came, he took the initiative to hand over some protection fees.

And when he first arrived in Sichuan and Sichuan, Zhang Yong didn’t want to offend too many people, but there was no need for the Chongqing government because you didn’t surrender!

The treatment for surrendering is completely different from the treatment for me who surrendered. Zhang Yong plans to show everyone in Sichuan and Sichuan what the difference is between the treatment for surrendering and the treatment for not surrendering and resisting.

This time, it was also a case of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

No one would be willing to ask these wealthy nobles to hand over half of their family property.

Then if you don't want to, I can just raise the butcher's knife.

"The King of Guanzhong is right. This place can avoid the massacre of the city, but it requires the nobles and gentry to hand over half of their family property." A Han military general said.

"Yes! Yes! Let those nobles and gentry hand over their property." Several Mongolian households also started to shout.

When the Mongols fought, they relied on fighting and looting to make a fortune, and the military pay was simply not enough.

The King of Guanzhong just said that after robbing these wealthy nobles, the money will be rewarded to the three armies, and then they can also share the money.

"This, this! King Guanzhong! Please think twice!" Several Chongqing generals who surrendered out of the city said.

"Stop talking nonsense and come into the city." Zhang Yong waved his hand and said.

To avoid long nights and many dreams, it is better to occupy Chongqing Mansion first and then deal with them.

With the knife on their neck, there was nothing these generals could do. After Zhang Yong's army arrived at the city, the soldiers on the tower opened the city gate, and Zhang Yong's army all came in.

This time, Zhang Yong did not station the entire army outside the city, but left 10,000 troops stationed outside the city. Their main task was to block several openings out of the city.

That night, Zhang Yong's army occupied the entire city in a mighty manner and took over the city defense.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yong asked his soldiers to start posting notices to calm the people, first to appease the ordinary people in the area.

Tell them that they will not massacre the city, nor will they plunder them. Let them work as they should, live a normal life, and restore all city defenses.

Anyone who commits adultery and violates the law will be punished without mercy, and some local Yamen officials in Chongqing Prefecture will be arranged to maintain public order in the city.

But all four city gates were closed and no one was allowed to leave the city. Zhang Yong told all the people.

In order to maintain public order in the city, people are not allowed to leave the city within seven days, and all people can move freely within the city.

The purpose of this is to prevent some wealthy people from pretending to be ordinary people and then sneaking out of the city quietly.

At noon the next day, Zhang Yong summoned all the wealthy nobles in the city, and even some wealthy merchants.

Those surrendered generals welcomed Zhang Yong into the city. Zhang Yong never let them go, so these wealthy families didn't know about taking half of their property.

"I will pay my respects to the King of Guanzhong." A group of wealthy nobles invited by the Mongolian soldiers collectively bowed before Zhang Yong and said.

"Why don't you kneel down when you see me?" Zhang Yong sat on the high platform, picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, and asked.

Hearing this, everyone in the aristocratic family present was stunned. If we come to pay homage to you, that would already be a great honor to you.

You want us to kneel down to you, you, you are not the emperor!

You are just a prince canonized by Mongolia. It is hard to say whether you can stand firm in the land of Sichuan and Shu in the future!

"I kneel to heaven, kneel to the ground, kneel to my parents, kneel to the emperor above, and kneel to the court official, who am I?" A young man from a noble family who looked to be in his twenties snorted coldly and said.

When the people next to him heard this, they immediately pulled the young man, telling him to stop talking.

"I am the King of Guanzhong who was personally conferred by Genghis Khan. Why am I not worthy of your kneeling?" Zhang Yong said with narrowed eyes.

Not bad, not bad. As soon as I said this, you immediately jumped out to cooperate with me. I have to rate you as a perfect teammate!

"Hmph, it's just a fake king title granted by the barbarians of the grassland. We treat each other with courtesy, why do you want us to kneel down?" the man said.

"Are your legs very hard?" Zhang Yong asked.

"How can I kneel to a man who has gold at his knees?"

"Well! Since your legs are very hard, let me help you soften them a little. Come here! Break all the bones in his legs." Zhang Yong said.

"You, how dare you touch me? I am a member of the Chai family, what kind of crime have I committed?" When he heard that his legs were about to be broken, the man's expression immediately changed, and he took a step back in fear. Asked.

"If you don't bow to the king before you see him, and if you say something to ridicule me or Genghis Khan, it is already a capital crime." Zhang Yong said.

Several soldiers came out immediately, grabbed the man, pressed him to the ground, picked up the military stick, and hit him on both legs.

"Ah! Ah!" After several screams, the man's legs had been beaten into a curved gourd shape, he was vomiting blood, and he fainted on the spot.

Seeing the man's miserable condition, all the people from the aristocratic families present were frightened. This, they were not invited to discuss. Something about Chongqing Prefecture? Why, why are you so cruel when we just met?

"Who else among you thinks that this king is a false king? Is he the king named by the barbarians of the grassland? Anyone who is dissatisfied can stand. If you are convinced, kneel down." Zhang Yong said.

"King Guanzhong, what do you mean by this? I, we are surrendering. According to your Mongolian law, we should be treated kindly." A man in his forties said.

When the Mongolian soldiers went to invite their family before, they were obviously very polite and even said that the King of Guanzhong would entertain them.

Originally, they thought that the King of Guanzhong would also rely on wealthy families like them to rule Chongqing!

It is impossible for this King of Guanzhong to live here for a long time. He will definitely leave Chongqing Mansion by then.

They are still the local kings of Chongqing Prefecture, and officials sent in the future can also marry them.

When the time came, they could just deceive them, but they didn't expect that the King of Guanzhong would give them a blow as soon as they met!

"Here comes someone! I will count to ten. If none of them kneel down, push them all out and kill them." Zhang Yong smiled and said.

"Follow the order of the King of Guanzhong." Several generals following Zhang Yong immediately understood and said.

The few Mongolians next to him also smiled and nodded, indicating that they knew what to do.

At this time, the scimitars in their hands had been drawn out.

"King Guanzhong, what do you mean by this? The one who wants to resist the Mongolian army is not us and other aristocratic families, but the official named Mao. Why do you bother us?"

"First of all, I want to emphasize that wherever our Mongol army passes, as long as Kaicheng surrenders, everyone in the city will be treated kindly. This is a rule. I will not be bad.

But if there is resistance, after the city is broken, it will be massacred.

Your Chongqing Prefecture has been resisting for more than ten days. It is a great kindness for me to spare the people of the city regardless of the past grudges.

How can you not be punished for speaking rudely to me? "Zhang Yong said. Hearing Zhang Yong's words, the people from the aristocratic families present all understood that this King of Guanzhong might be coming with bad intentions!

Because the Chongqing government has been resisting for more than ten days, and now it might be possible to take it out on them.

No one wanted to be killed, so a large group of people from aristocratic families knelt down quickly.

"King Guanzhong has misunderstood. We want to surrender to your army, but the official named Mao doesn't allow it. We really have no choice." An old man who took the lead knelt on the ground and said to Zhang Yong.

"Yes! King Guanzhong, and we are just ordinary people. Although our families have quite a lot of money, how can we dare to confront the officers and soldiers!" Another son of the aristocratic family said.

"Really? But I heard that the official named Mao was stationed in the city.

You aristocratic families have provided him with a lot of food and military pay.

They even sent some servants from the family to act as husbandmen. Is this possible? Zhang Yong asked.

After entering the city last night, Zhang Yong imprisoned all the surrendered soldiers and a large group of civilians.

Then I learned that among these civilians, in addition to some common people, many of them were sent by these aristocratic families.

As for the food and grass in Chongqing Mansion, it was also funded by these wealthy families.

Such a good excuse, of course I have to take advantage of it!

"This! King Guanzhong, this is human nature! If I don't pay or send people, Master Mao will kill us." A young man from an aristocratic family stood up and said.

"Who asked you to get up? Keep kneeling, I didn't ask you to get up." Zhang Yong said with a cold snort.

Several Mongolian soldiers immediately rushed to the man and kicked his legs, causing him to kneel on the ground again.

"I am not a murderous person, but you and the Chongqing Mansion did resist and even funded my enemies.

I originally planned to massacre all the Chongqing Mansion, but God is kind and I decided to spare the people in the city. You only need to hand over half of your family property.

But just now you and others provoked me and insulted Genghis Khan and me, which is actually a capital crime. "Zhang Yong said.

"Yes, they insulted Genghis Khan and the King of Guanzhong. Naturally, they cannot be spared easily." A Mongolian Qianhu said.

Genghis Khan's status in the hearts of the Mongols is absolutely supreme. It humiliates Genghis Khan and the king he made.

This matter is very serious.

"Please calm down the King of Guanzhong! We, I, are willing to spend a hundred thousand jars of our family wealth to reward the King of Guanzhong's army." An old man gritted his teeth and said.

The Mongolian army has a total of 50,000 people. Calculating that each soldier can get two coins, it is not too small.

As for handing over half of the family property, that is simply impossible.

"Give me some money! You are the losers. All the money and even your lives belong to me. You are all prisoners and you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me." Zhang Yong said.

Ordinary people are the most important productive forces, and you aristocratic families are just moths.

Originally, Zhang Yong only planned to take half of the money, but last night, Zhang Yong also discovered something. The power of these aristocratic families is too huge.

With just a few moves of your hands, you can gather tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass, and tens of thousands of young and strong civilian men.

And according to his own intelligence, these wealthy families in Chongqing Prefecture.

Some of them are not native to Chongqing Prefecture at all, but are branch families sent by other large southern clans.

This group of people are natural spies of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhang Yong definitely cannot keep them.

If he does not kill him, the officials he sends over in the future will not be able to take over Chongqing Mansion, and may even be directly bribed by these local wealthy families and become their own.

And the most important thing is that Chongqing Mansion resisted. Although it surrendered in the end, I have spared the lives of the people in the city and killed you, the rich families.

That's because you funded the enemy and even insulted Genghis Khan.

"King Guanzhong, how guilty are we! The person who insulted Genghis Khan and you has just had his legs broken by you.

If you still don't feel relieved, just uproot his entire clan and slaughter them to death. We, we, are indeed innocent! "

"Yes, King Guanzhong, we, we, can help you appease the people of Chongqing. If you think that one hundred thousand cans of gold is not enough, we can also raise two hundred thousand cans of money to reward the three armies and provide support for Guanzhong." Your Majesty gives me a great gift."

Listening to the tone of Zhang Yong's words, it seems that he wants to drive out all the people from the aristocratic families like them!

Damn it, Mao Qiu, what are you resisting?

It's better for you, you have gained a reputation of loyalty, but you have caused harm to us!

If Mao Qiu heard the remarks of this group of aristocratic families, he would probably be furious to death on the spot.

Aren't you the ones who support me in resisting the Mongols, provide me with money and food, and even send their own servants to act as civilian husbands to support me? Aren't it the rich families like you?

Are you all afraid that the Mongols will come in and plunder your property? That’s why I hope I can resist.

"Hahaha! I have heard that many of you are just branches of wealthy families in the south and have come to Sichuan and Sichuan to develop." Zhang Yong asked.

Chongqing Prefecture is relatively close to the south, and some aristocratic families do not need to take Hanzhong Road to travel here, but can directly take the waterway to Chongqing Prefecture. Therefore, most of the branch families of the southern wealthy families have taken root in Chongqing Prefecture.

"You, you don't keep your word, you, you just want to rob our property and then kill us all." A member of a wealthy family stood up, pointed at Zhang Yong and said sternly.

"King Guanzhong, you want to kill us, why do you have to make up so many excuses?"

They finally understood that the King of Guanzhong really wanted to kill them, because many of them were from branches of the southern family.

Naturally, they are interested in their own family. The King of Guanzhong is worried that they will send information about Sichuan and Shu to the south to tell Song Ting in the future.

"I didn't make up any excuses. When we first met, you were indeed the one who spoke rudely to me. You all heard it. He called Genghis Khan a steppe barbarian and me a fake king. You did support the officials of Chongqing Prefecture. Resist," Zhang Yong said.

"King Guanzhong, we, we are local households in Sichuan and Shu. Our family has always been rooted in Sichuan and Shu and has not developed in the south.

It's just a merchant's family, not a wealthy family!

Our clan members are all in Chengdu Prefecture or Jiading Prefecture. The King of Guanzhong can send people to investigate.

We, we are willing to offer half of our family property, and hope that the King of Guanzhong will forgive us. "Another group of wealthy families from Chongqing Mansion knelt on the ground and cried.

They saw that the king of Guanzhong wanted to kill the branches of the southern clan, not them. They should be able to survive by paying the money.

It is true that these branches of the southern big clans cannot be left behind, leaving endless troubles.

"Well! It is true that you did not speak rudely to me. Since you are from the local forces of Sichuan and Sichuan, I will spare you.

However, you must donate 70% of your family’s property, and 80% of all the land occupied by your family must be confiscated and returned to the official land. "Zhang Yong said.

"I am willing, I am willing."

There is no other way, can you not do it?

If you don’t want to, you will die! Now that the power of life and death is in the hands of others, what wealthy families like them hate most is the change of dynasty.

The personal network and official power they have worked so hard to build are the most difficult to use during this kind of dynasty change.

"You locals, please stand aside for me." Zhang Yong said.

After hearing Zhang Yong's words, some local aristocrats immediately stood up and ran away as if they had been granted amnesty, and broke away from this group of clansmen from the south.

"Okay! Chatuohua, take all the thousands of households under your command and your soldiers, and search the homes of these wealthy families one by one. Hand over half to me, and the rest will be distributed to all the soldiers. Han Everyone has a share, both the military officers and the Mongolian army officers,” Zhang Yong said.

What this gang of Mongolian families did, such as confiscating their homes and annihilating their clans, was very clumsy, because they often did this in Khwarezm. (End of chapter)
