Chapter 66 The Golden Cicada Escapes (Five)

"There is no big power in this Dashi County?"

"There is only a little more land in the Chen family and Lu family, with more than a thousand acres."

"I never thought that the Taizhong doctor Wang Youan was born in such a lowly family. The Wang family in Dashi County, Liaodong, was only 500 acres of fertile land. There were not even tenant farmers in the family. They were all the Wang family who were plowing the fields themselves, and there were only two maids in total."

"In my great man, even if he is a lowly person like Doctor Wang, he can become a high-ranking official. This is the great man."

The envoy looked through the books and accounts of the county yamen and checked the population, land and industry situations in the county recorded in the books.

However, these are just materials from the county munitions, and the real situation needs to be inspected on the spot.

Although Dashi County is not very large, the place is still quite large, so the eunuch cannot visit every household. It can only go to the street to ask about the relevant situation of the people and use the situations mentioned by the people to verify whether the materials of the county government are false.

After a visit, I found some problems. For example, some people claimed that he was the tenant farmer of the Chen family. The Chen family's land was far more than one thousand acres, and it seemed that there were three or four thousand acres, and the Lu family was the same.

However, these are all small problems. Even if the Chen Lu family really has three or four thousand acres of land, it is far from reaching the standard of relocation of three million yuan.

So after some criticism, the Chen and Lu families paid taxes according to the real land population in the future, the envoys were concerned about the major problems that might exist in Dashi County.

That is the mysterious Wang family!

The Wang family, which can cultivate so many talents, really only has 500 acres of land?

The envoy never believed it, but the Wang family's geographical location was very tricky. Although they belonged to Dashi County, they were far away from Dashi County and were more closely connected with Xuxiang County in Donglai County.

Therefore, locals in Dashi County are not very familiar with the Wang family. They only know that the Wang family has merchant ships to the county town to do business all year round, but they have no other understanding of the Wang family.

However, Xuxiang County belongs to Donglai County, which is the supervision area of ​​another envoy, and he cannot control it. Another envoy is even more unlikely to cause trouble for himself, and it is impossible to take the initiative to investigate the family situation that does not belong to his supervision area.

Donglai County, which can detect the situation, does not have the right to investigate the Wang family. After all, the Wang family belongs to Liaodong County, and Liaodong County, which has the right to investigate, has not been able to detect the Wang family. After all, the Wang family has closer communication with Donglai County.

The Wang family is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and ordinary people cannot get through it. The only land route is blocked by people from the mountains and forests. The Han people break into the territory of people from the mountains and forests without authorization and are easily killed.

"Is it really impossible to pass through the Wang family by land?" the envoy frowned and asked.

"The people in the mountains and forests are extremely cruel. Those who lead to the Wang family by land will die without life." Wang Changsheng answered truthfully.

This is true. In order to prevent the true situation of the Wang family from leaking, all Han people who want to lead from land to the Wang family will be ruthlessly murdered by Wang Luoxi and Wang Anke who have already joined the Wang family.

The Wang family will also give them generous rewards to the two of them if they are tortured and killed these foreigners who want to enter the Wang family.

As for sea routes, the merchants did not dare to go to the Wang family at all. They were killed directly after going there, and ordinary people had no money to buy a boat to go to the Wang family.

The Wang family is only allowed to take the initiative to do business in the Central Plains, and the merchants from the Central Plains are never allowed to come to the Wang family to do business. This one-way trade has lasted for decades.

"Can there be merchant ships leading to the Wang family by sea?" The envoy was not giving up. After confirming from the people that Wang Changsheng did not lie and that the land was indeed blocked by people from the mountains and forests, he wanted to force the local merchant ships to go to the Wang family to investigate.

"You chauvinist is really a problem. You know you can't get through but you have to go. Do our Wang family have a grudge against you?" Wang Changsheng cursed in his heart, but he did not dare to lie. After all, the other party could ask the people outside at any time, so he replied truthfully: "Dashi County is poor and there are no maritime merchants, but the Wang family's merchant ships occasionally come to Jinkou to trade outside the county."

"That means that I can only go to the Wang family when the Wang family merchant ship comes to Dashi County to do business?" The envoy frowned. He did not expect that it would be so troublesome to visit the Wang family. This geographical location was too tricky, and he didn't know how the first head of the Wang family chose this location.

He could not really wait for a year or two to go to the Wang family. After all, he was still busy going back to report to the emperor and could not risk his life to take the land. Therefore, after thinking about it over and over, he could only acquiesce to "The Wang family has 500 acres of land, and the property is less than 100,000 yuan. It is just a rich peasant family with a lot of property, which is not even considered a poor family." The statement on the Dashi County Book Account is true.

Lie Shui Island

It is located near the mouth of the Leshui River in North Korea and is very close to the King of Korea.

Dozens of merchant ships carried hundreds of Han tenants to the island.

They were all tenant farmers of the Wang family in Luoyueyuan. As Wang Tairan, the head of the Wang family, decided to implement the "Golden Cicada Escape", the Wang family suspended land annexation in Liaodong.

Because even if the Wang family annexed more land in Liaodong, there would be great risks to be accepted as state-owned by Emperor Liu Che with an imperial edict and distributed to landless people. Therefore, due to Liu Che's various policies, the Wang family is no longer interested in land annexation in the Central Plains.

Every few months, hundreds of tenant farmers from the land will be transported to overseas islands for land development overseas.

Can you, the Emperor of Han, manage Liaodong and overseas? Humph!

At the same time, the Wang family will also use grain, silk, etc. from North Korea to exchange for North Korean indigenous people as slaves.

As the king of North Korea, Wei Youqu sells North Koreans every day, causing complaints in North Korea.

On many islands overseas, such a hierarchy has been formed, that is, the Wang family belongs to the first staircase, the Wang family's personal soldiers belong to the second staircase, the Wang family's slaves, maids, and public security team belong to the third staircase, the Shang survivors and Han immigrants belong to the fourth staircase, the Jian people and the Koreans belong to the fifth staircase, such as the Sanhan, the Japanese, Yue people, the Xiongnu, etc., all belong to the sixth staircase.

Han tenant farmers can at least keep three layers of their own, barely filling their stomachs.

Those lower-level Koreans and Jian people are pure consumables. They are usually serfs, and they are used as slaves for training if they have anything to do.

The three Koreans, Japanese, Yue, Xiongnu, etc. are even more unbearable. They are completely food. Their bodies and bone meal will be used to fertilize, and they may even be made into food to feed tenants. This will allow the tenants to eat these meat to fill their stomachs. Then the tenants can free up more grain and sell them to the Wang family at a low price, so that the Wang family can have more grain to make wine and sell them for money.

In just a few years, Lishui Island has been developed from a barren island by the Wang family into a small granary with farmland and water conservancy facilities.

Of course, in order to develop this island into a small granary, I don’t know how many slaves were exhausted to death. When I opened the soil of each piece of farmland, I could see countless white bones underground.

Such development will also extend eastward along the southern coastline of North Korea, step by step, and take the islands slowly.

Without shedding the last drop of blood and sweat from the slaves, the Wang family's overseas development will not stop!

"This island full of blood and sin is in need of our Hongyan Road's rescue." Zhao Jun, a tenant farmer who is over 50, got off the boat and saw countless dead bodies on the beach. He couldn't help but shake his head and silently pray for these poor Koreans in his heart.
