Chapter 91 Liaodong Officialdom (III)

Liaodong

Wuwu County

Zhongjia Manor

"Wuwu County Zhongjia privately owned salt and iron, and is punished for crimes, and the whole family will be killed!"

"kill!"

More than two thousand Liaodong county soldiers attacked the Zhongjia Manor under the command of the county magistrate Li Yao.

"Li Duwei (county lieutenant), why did you destroy my entire clan?" The head of the Zhong family was wearing private armor and was taking the Zhong family's private soldiers to stubbornly resist the massacre of the imperial army.

"The court orders, Li Yao had to obey." Li Yao sighed. He didn't want to destroy the Zhong family. He even had a little marriage with the Zhong family. A concubine daughter of the Zhong family married a concubine son of his Li family as his wife.

However, the Zhong family was ungrateful. After the private iron smelting was discovered by the guest, they did not hand over their property and ignored the one-year period of the court. Therefore, the Chang'an court issued an order to behead the Wuwu County Magistrate Zhong Hui for public display.

At the same time, under the order of the Chang'an court, Li Yao had to lead his troops to destroy his in-laws.

As early as the Chang'an court issued an order to the official salt and iron camp, all families in Liaodong were trying to stop production and business, and no longer selling salt and iron. They even demolished the already built iron smelting plant, and buried the parts in the ground and refused to hand them over to the court. Some of them directly demolished the iron smelting plant and sold the parts to the Wang family at a low price.

It is better to dismantle it than to give it to the court, this is the mentality of the powerful.

The Wang family accepted all the items. Anyway, the Wang family's salt farm and iron smelting plant were moved overseas as early as the time of Wang Tairan, and the imperial court could not find out at all.

The powerful salt farms and iron smelting plants in Liaodong were gone, and it was meaningless to raise those craftsmen. So the craftsmen were unemployed one after another. In order to support their families, the craftsmen had to board the Wang family's merchant ship and go overseas to continue their employment.

As early as the meeting of the Eight Major Families in Liaodong, Wang Changzhi, Zhang Shou and Li Yao reminded all major families to hide their own industries. If they are really discovered by the messenger, they can only admit that they are unlucky and hand over the industry. Never resist the orders of the emperor, otherwise they can only follow the will of the court and confiscate their families and exterminate their families.

The Wang family's property is overseas, and the envoys cannot detect it. The Zhang family and the Li family have long dismantled the property into parts and sold it to the Wang family. The other five families hesitated and were reluctant to dismantle. The last year period has arrived. In order not to be confiscated and exterminated, they had to hand over the property to the court. The Zhong family was not aware of life or death. When the envoys discovered it, they dared not hand over it, and finally ended up being destroyed.

"Dog Emperor Liu Che! You must die a good death! Sang Hongyang, you are cut into pieces!" In despair, the head of the Zhong family roared to the sky, looking at the slaughtered family children and the Zhong family women captured by officers and soldiers. When he thought that his daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters, would be demoted to official prostitutes by the court to go to Nulu for business, he burst into tears. Because he couldn't bear to see such a tragic situation again, he drew his sword and committed suicide.

"Father!"

"grandfather!"

The Zhong family was extremely sad, but the Han soldiers would not show mercy.

"ah--"

"Don't kill me, I'm willing to expose the hidden industries of other powerful people, especially Wang, uh!!!"

The Zhong family, who represented the Zhong family at the meeting, wanted to rely on exposing the situation of other families to survive.

However……

Wang Changtu, a soldier in Liaodong County, rode his horse into the Zhong family manor, and pierced the Zhong family's chest with one shot, causing him to shut up completely.

When Li Yao heard that the Zhong family wanted to report Wang Zhang and Li’s family before they died, he took the three families to the back, and Li Yao also looked ugly, so he became ruthless and ordered the county soldiers: "The male members of the Zhong family will be killed and killed, and no living will be allowed!"

...

One month later

Liaodong County Government

"Everyone, we have agreed to the last meeting that no matter which family is affected, no other family is allowed to report it, and no one is allowed to take care of it before death. In return, every family that has been exterminated will raise a child for it to prevent its incense from being cut off."

"This time, the Zhong family was unfortunately investigated by the messenger, and the family was even destroyed by the court. According to the agreement, we should deliberately release water when extermination, let a few children of the Zhong family escape and then be raised by our major families."

The prefect of Liaodong, Wang Changzhi, was speaking to the heads of various major families. Halfway through his speech, he changed his tone:

"However, the Zhong family violated the agreement when extermination and attempted to pull our major families into the water, so we had to kill the Zhong family!"

"This is a punishment for the Zhong family!"

After saying this, everyone remained silent. They were naturally sad about the demise of the Zhong family. However, when they thought that the Zhong family wanted to report them before they died, they would pull them to the back, so they applauded the demise of the Zhong family.

"The Zhong family is self-defeated."

"I just feel sorry for my little daughter. She married the young master of the Zhong family and became a wife, but was arrested by the court and became an official prostitute. Alas..."

"It's just that you use money to redeem it. Your Chen family still has this little money?"

"This kind of thing is not very glorious after all. Those people will talk about the rumors, saying that the women of the Chen family in Liaoyang used to work as prostitutes in Nulu."

Everyone said something to me, like a mob.

"Everyone, the matter of the salt and iron industry has passed for the time being. Although all the major families have lost some losses, they have at least kept the family and are not as ignorant as the Zhong family." Wang Changzhi concluded and continued: "As for the women who married the Zhong family in each family, who were unfortunately caught in the Nvlu, I will instruct Luke not to let them open their business first, and you don't need to redeem them. I will send someone to pick them up in secret."

Lu Shu is the manager of Nu Lu, Nu Lu is a flower building run by the government, and there are all official prostitutes in each county. Each female Lu is managed by Lu Shu, and Lu Shu is also a subordinate of the prefect.

Nulu was officially launched earlier than salt and iron. The industry of women's special services can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty, but at that time, this industry was operated by privately. Later, Guan Zhong opened the Nulu, and other countries followed suit. Gradually, Nulu was gradually monopolized by the government, and privately operated flower buildings were still banned until now.

Of course, legal prohibition is one thing, and whether anyone takes risks and violates the law is another.

The law also prohibits concealing the number of tenant farmers in the land mu. The powerful people still conceal the population of land mu. The law also prohibits privately harboring armor, but which powerful man dares to say that his family does not have a few pieces of armor? The law also prohibits the people from rebelling, but what's the use?

The same is true for the Nulu. Although it is monopolized by the official, each county has only one Nulu and is prohibited from operating privately, there are some retail investors or free practitioners hidden in an unknown corner of each county. Under the control of the Ranger (the underworld), they have formed many small-scale special service industries.

Nulu is also a very important income for the Liaodong County Government. Most of them are women from the sinner family. Because ordinary families, even if they are too poor to have enough food, they would rather be maids for the powerful than make a living in Nulu. Therefore, there are no retail investors in Nulu, and they are all girls from the criminal family.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu."

Everyone thanked me, so naturally they could not be short of this money. They could mainly take it home secretly. Others would not know that the women of their family had been in the Nulu. If they redeem them openly, it would be too embarrassing.
