Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

"King of Guanzhong, you can rest assured and leave it to us. We will definitely fulfill your instructions." At this moment, Cha Tuohua and others no longer called Zhang Yong the envoy of God, but changed it to King of Guanzhong.

They are familiar with things like confiscating homes! Moreover, the King of Guanzhong agreed that half of the items confiscated from the house would belong to them. They should be able to make a lot of money this time!

"King Guanzhong, spare your life! Spare your life! Just take our property. Please let us return to the south." A large group of people from aristocratic families immediately knelt on the ground and cried.

Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for them to stay in the land of Chongqing Prefecture, because their status does not allow them. After all, the suspicion of spies is too heavy, and no one is willing to keep them.

"You should see clearly that now the Song Dynasty has exhausted its power and will soon change its dynasty.

You aristocratic families, you are on the wrong team this time, and the consequences of standing on the wrong team is death. There is no other way. It has been hundreds of years, you should have seen through it. "Zhang Yong said.

The implication is very simple, that is, I will kill you all, and keeping you here will be a disaster. Let you go back, and you will think about how to take revenge in the future. Killing you will be the end of the world.

"Ah! Zhang, you don't have to die well, you don't have to die well."

"You don't have to die well, you don't have to die well."

Amidst the yelling and cursing, these wealthy families were immediately tied up by the Mongolian soldiers in front of them, dragged outside the store, and wiped off their necks with a knife.

Large areas of blood dyed the land red, and people from these aristocratic families died here one by one.

Then tens of thousands of soldiers began to dispatch, rushing towards the homes of these wealthy families.

Several other local wealthy families were kneeling on the ground, looking at Zhang Yong tremblingly, their whole bodies trembling.

"You don't need to be afraid, I won't kill you, but remember, don't play tricks on me in Chongqing Mansion, otherwise, the lives of your whole family will be in danger." Zhang Yong said.

"Guan, Guan, King of Guanzhong, don't worry, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll be obedient and I won't dare to show any slights!"

"Yes! Remember, you can live longer by following my king's orders. After this purge is over, immediately hand over 70% of your family's property, and then hand over 80% of your land." Zhang Yong said.

I have given this group of people a way to survive. After handing over a large amount of property, their power will be much smaller than before. Under such circumstances.

He does not have enough ability to bribe those court officials, and Zhang Yong plans to replace these court officials every three or four years.

There were seven southern aristocratic families present. Each family was accompanied by a thousand Mongolian cavalry and a thousand Han troops. This time, Zhang Yong planned to uproot all the southern aristocratic forces rooted in Chongqing Prefecture. rise.

What does it mean to be a wealthy family? It's not just about doing big business, it's just about having money at home. These wealthy families will have deep-rooted influence in the court.

Most of the children will join the court as officials, while those who do not will stay in various places, looking after some family businesses, such as cloth and tea. Food and the like.

After acquiring a large amount of land, either forcibly buying or selling it from the hands of ordinary civilians, or directly robbing it, they then raised a large number of servants to form a huge power network.

They can even control everything in an area with a radius of hundreds of miles, and even local government officials want to see their faces.

There are tens of thousands of people who depend on them for food. These people are civilians at best, but are actually a bunch of serfs at worst.

They are the ones who create wealth and cultivate the fields for these aristocratic families, but 89% of their harvest must be handed over to these aristocratic families. They can only barely make ends meet, and they have to be grateful to these aristocratic families.

This is a kind of monopoly on all aspects of politics, talent, and material economy. Even officials were monopolized by these wealthy families before.

If you are a commoner, then you will be ordinary people in the next few generations. If you are from a wealthy family, then your family will be officials for generations.

Every time the dynasty changes at the end of the dynasty, these aristocratic families will suffer heavy losses and be buried in history.

Of course, there are also those who have prospered and achieved higher status, that is, they bet on the right person, and obviously these people did not bet on Zhang Yong.

A large number of Mongolian soldiers came out, frightening the local people to immediately close their doors and dare not come out. They didn't know what these Mongolians were going to do, and they even thought that these Mongolians were going to plunder.

However, the worries of some ordinary traders and people are unnecessary. Zhang Yong's target this time is not them at all.

Among these aristocratic families, there are thousands of servants, and each household is equipped with some weapons and has a certain amount of private armed forces.

But facing the established army, they still have little ability to resist because they do not have suitable armor, even though these aristocratic families are very powerful.

But if you dare to hide armor privately, let alone hundreds of armors, even twenty or thirty pairs, then the court will immediately kill you.

Therefore, facing the well-equipped and extremely fierce Mongolian soldiers. They didn't do much to wave, after all, the regular armed Song Dynasty army had nothing to do with these Mongolian soldiers.

After the Mongolian soldiers came to the door, they immediately pulled out their scimitars, galloped their horses to open the door, and ran in, followed by the Han soldiers behind them.

Before the people from these aristocratic families could react, they slashed at them with their swords.

An extremely bloody purge campaign began. This bloody killing lasted for three full days. During this period, many people from aristocratic families wanted to leave the city, but they were all defeated by the troops deployed by Zhang Yong in advance. Stopped.

Now that he has decided to kill them, Zhang Yong will not let anyone go. What awaits them is death.

This huge killing feast shrouded the entire Chengdu Prefecture in a sea of ​​blood. local people. I was so frightened that I closed the doors of every house. There was a slight disturbance, and the whole family huddled together, terrified.

He was afraid that after dealing with those wealthy families, the new King of Guanzhong would turn around and start dealing with them again.

At the end of the third day of massacre, the people in these cities did not dare to go out, but the situation was slightly better than a few days ago because the Mongolian soldiers did not rush into their homes.

At noon on the fourth day, this bloody purge officially ended.

"King Guanzhong, the count has now been basically completed. People from these aristocratic families have killed more than 11,000 people in total.

We will not spare anyone from these seven families. From the clan leader to the servants and grooms, we will kill them all according to your order. "Cha Tuohua came to Zhang Yong, knelt down and said.

"Not bad, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Yong nodded and said.

More than 10,000 people! ! He said he would kill him.

But it’s terrifying to think about it. The core members of these families and the large number of servants they raise actually number more than 10,000 people!

Moreover, it was only men who were killed, as well as maids, wives, concubines, daughters and the like of people from aristocratic families.

According to Mongolian rules, none of them were killed. They were all captured and held as prisoners.

Calculated in this way, the human resources occupied by these large families alone may reach as many as 30,000 to 40,000 people.

You know, Zhang Yong only killed some core domestic slaves, and a large number of farmers who rented land have now been released as free people and no longer have to pay their landlords for farming.

Originally, Zhang Yong only planned to kill the core children of these families, but after thinking about it carefully, he also killed all their servants.

In this era, the servants raised by these aristocratic families are quite loyal.

These domestic slaves have been brainwashed and raised since childhood. They are extremely loyal to these big families and are even willing to die for their masters.

Let them go back to work as farmers, cultivate the land again, and become free people instead of being other people's servants.

Instead of being grateful to you, they will resent you extremely and even pass this hatred on to their children and grandchildren.

Let their children and grandchildren hate you, so in this case, you should go with your master!

"King Guanzhong! We also collected a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, as well as silver and copper coins, and some valuable calligraphy, painting and antiques. In addition, we also arrested more than 7,000 female relatives. How should we deal with these?" Cha Tuohua He spoke.

To be honest, this harvest scared him a little. It was not like he had never fought when he followed Genghis Khan. The Hebei area has also done things like confiscation and extermination of families, but the aristocratic families in the Hebei area pale into insignificance compared with these areas.

The aristocratic families in this land of Sichuan and Sichuan have accumulated wealth far beyond his imagination. This time their income is equivalent to two or three cities in Khwarezm.

"Let's go! Take me first to see how many things you have seized." Zhang Yong said.

"Your Highness, please come with me." Cha Tuohua nodded, made a gesture of invitation, and led Zhang Yong to the place where the trophies were stored.

At this time, the place was filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, all placed together in several large carts.

There are jade, pearls, agate, ivory, precious stones.

In addition to ordinary gold and silver jewelry, there are also a large number of jades, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and boxes of copper coins neatly stacked together.

Good guy, this time I am so fat!

The harvest this time is equivalent to the financial income of the Guanzhong Land for several years. I have been operating in the Guanzhong Land for several years, and the taxes added together are not as much as the money from these wealthy families.

"Let all the soldiers in the army get half of it, and everyone will have a share. As long as those who came to Sichuan to fight with me this time, including those brothers stationed in Hanzhong, will also leave their share for me." Zhang Yong said. .

For things like confiscating homes and exterminating clans, it is wrong for you to eat the meat yourself and let your subordinates drink the soup.

You have to let your subordinates eat some meat, so that they will risk their lives to fight with you, and then they will have the motivation to fight with you, so Zhang Yong will contribute half of his income this time.

"Sir! We have already divided this. According to your order, these things are all yours. Our share has been distributed to ordinary soldiers. We only took some gold and silver, while those Han soldiers took some silver. , and copper coins." Cha Tuohua said.

Good guy, it turned out to be after taking it! There are so many.

"Your Majesty, in addition to these, we also found a lot of grain and grass, which totaled more than 400,000 dan! Each of their households has stored about 40,000 to 50,000 dan of grain and grass," Cha Tuohua said.

This time, in addition to financial income, they also received a large amount of food and grass.

"Well, we have left one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass, and the remaining more than three hundred thousand grain and grass. Go and tell the people in the city that the King of Guanzhong is going to distribute grain, and all residents can receive one stone of grain per household. Call it Guanzhong." A gift from the king." Zhang Yong said.

The butcher's knife has been wielded. The next step is to make ordinary people less afraid of themselves and make people less afraid of themselves. The most practical and safest way is to distribute money.

Ordinary people, as long as you don't kill them and give them enough benefits, they will still trust you very quickly.

"Your Highness, we, did we give too much, giving away all the more than 300,000 stones of food and grass at once?" Cha Tuohua asked.

"There is never a shortage of food in the land of Sichuan and Sichuan. In the future, this place will become a land of food production, and there will be a large amount of food every year. Food is the least valuable. Distribute it to ordinary people.

Only when ordinary people have full stomachs can they have the strength to work and grow more food. Don't be reluctant to make more things that are useful to us. There will be a lot of these things in the future. These 100,000 stones of food and grass will be taken with us to eat on the road when we withdraw.

Even if we take away the rest, we won’t be able to finish it, and it will get spoiled if damaged on the road. "Zhang Yong patted Cha Tuohua on the shoulder and said.

"Yes! The prince's subordinates know that in addition to these gold, silver, jewels, food and grass, there are also some of their land deeds, real estate and some of the female relatives we captured. Are these female relatives rewarded to meritorious people?" Cha Tuohua asked. asked.

"Some ordinary women will reward the soldiers who have made meritorious service in this battle. Remember to reward those soldiers who have not yet married, and these female relatives will all become their wives.

As for the real estate title deeds, they are now all taken into public ownership and then distributed to those people who have no land to farm, allowing them to continue farming on the land. Then just pay taxes according to the taxes set by the government. "Zhang Yong said with a smile.

"I understand, Your Majesty, I will do it right now."

On the fifth day after Zhang Yong occupied Chongqing Mansion, the lively grain distribution activity began. Zhang Yong distributed all the food obtained from ransacking homes to the people in the city, and everyone had a share.

When they heard that they would not be killed and would receive free food, these people did not believe it at first.

But some brave people actually got the distributed food after they came out. All the people in the city immediately took action, fearing that they would be late and not get the food.

This large-scale activity can indeed stabilize people's hearts and even win over the people. This is a real benefit, and it immediately increases Zhang Yong's reputation in Chongqing.

The previous massacres of aristocratic families had also been selectively forgotten by these people.

Of course, when a warehouse is opened to release grain, there will inevitably be some people who want to be careful. After receiving the first portion, they will come over to receive the second portion.

During the first day of food distribution, dozens of people sneaked over and lined up for the second time, wanting to receive the second food supply.

For such people, Zhang Yong ordered the soldiers to show no mercy once they were discovered. They would directly confiscate the food originally distributed and even put them in jail.

He even killed a few rogues on the spot to stabilize the situation, and then Zhang Yong ordered the Mongolian soldiers.

They began to distribute grains from house to house, dividing the whole city into several areas, and then the Mongolian soldiers delivered the grains in person, registering one household after each delivery.

In order to put an end to this phenomenon of coming over to rob.

The grain distribution operation took a full six days, and all 300,000 grains were distributed.

On the tenth day, Zhang Yongcai withdrew from Chongqing and returned to Chengdu with his army.

But before leaving, Zhang Yong left some troops who had submitted to him in Guanzhong to garrison in Chongqing. The generals of these people were also promoted and appointed by Zhang Yong himself.

We also arranged for dozens of civilian officials from Guanzhong to be stationed in Chongqing as local officials as soon as possible.

The workload of these civil servants has been very heavy recently. Because Zhang Yong collected a large number of fields from noble families, there is now a large amount of vacant fields that can be given to the local people for planting.

There are also some post-war matters to deal with, including summer and autumn harvest issues. The vassal land does not only collect taxes once a year like other areas. There are summer taxes and autumn taxes here.

After the land of Sichuan and Sichuan is stabilized, next year Zhang Yong plans to let merchants from the Western Regions also start to trade here.

Products from the Western Regions were sold to Sichuan and Sichuan, and even grassland cattle and sheep were sold, opening a new trade route.

Zhang Yong has a hunch that in the next few years, Sichuan and Sichuan will see a surge in tax revenue.

Without this group of aristocratic families, there would be a huge interest group missing, and these Western Region businessmen would also bring huge profits.

After several days of marching, Zhang Yong led the army and successfully returned to Chengdu.

As soon as he returned to Chengdu, Zhang Yong felt that the atmosphere was slightly wrong.

The local officials in Chengdu who had greeted him with smiles and politeness before now had a flash of fear on their faces after seeing Zhang Yong.

He was trembling when talking to himself and looked very nervous.

Isn't it? The killings Zhang Yong caused in Chongqing these days have scared these people.

There were so many big families, and the prince killed them all at will, even the servants and grooms.

It can’t be said that it’s not cruel! Zhang Yong was polite to them before, but now this round of killings has frightened these people.

Only then did I realize that this King of Guanzhong was not a good man or woman. (End of chapter)
