As Chen Yuan followed Zhang Meng's instructions, he directed his zhenqi to the five cities on the map.
A brilliant light flashed, and then the mountains, rivers and even city passes on the map were all floating in the air, forming a three-dimensional image.
The scenes are so lifelike, it's like watching them from high altitude with a drone.
Not only that, Chen Yuan accidentally touched one of the passes.
It is Yumen Pass.
The next moment, a piece of text appeared above Yumen Pass.
The Hulu River in Jiuquan County is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. The waves are very sharp and deep and cannot be crossed. The Yumen Pass is built at the top, and the road must pass through it, which is the throat of the western border.
One hundred and sixty miles northwest of Dunhuang, at its peak, there were five thousand soldiers in armor.
Hey guys, here’s a brief introduction.
Although there is not much text, it is enough.
A lot of content has been provided here.
When Chen Yuan clicks on Chang'an, Chengdu, etc., the same is true, and a paragraph of text introducing the place will appear.
Although some of the contents are outdated, Bowang Hou was only more than 300 years ago, and the contents were of great help to Chen Yuan.
Not to mention anything else, but just an introduction to the terrain of the southwest will be of great help to Jingzhou and Yizhou.
It can even be said that Chen Yuan does not need any so-called topographic map of central Shu now.
This Bowang travel map based on Bowang Hou is enough to be used as a map.
And it’s the kind of three-dimensional image introduced by Baidu Encyclopedia.
This is simply comparable to satellite positioning in later generations.
Take a look at Gaode Map and Baidu Map.
As for the other soul treasure functions of this treasure map, this is not very important to Chen Yuan.
Yes, the Bowang Travel Map has a function similar to the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map, which can control the mountains and rivers in it to harm people.
Of course, it is definitely impossible to move the original thing here. It is probably because Bowanghou took some of the essence of the mountains and rivers and put it into it. This makes this picture have the effect of driving the mountains and rivers to hit people.
Not only that, this picture seems to have the ability to store things.
Of course, there is no exaggerated effect of creating a world of its own. It is just a small space, about three feet square.
For individuals, it may be a very powerful storage magic weapon.
But if it is used for national and military purposes, it is insignificant.
The most important thing is its map guidance function and the many dangerous places it records.
This is a military and national treasure.
I really don’t understand why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would return such a treasure to Bowang Hou. Wasn’t he afraid that someone would rebel after getting this treasure?
This thing is simply too important for fighting.
It can be said that with this map, there are no secrets in the western half of the Han Dynasty.
Half a big man can be seen.
This means that Bowang Hou's lifespan is limited, otherwise he might have drawn the entire Han Dynasty into this picture.
At that time, this map will no longer be called the Bowang Travel Map, but will be called the Map of the Han Dynasty. There is no problem at all.
By then, the power of this magic weapon may be no less than that of the Red Sky Sword.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan's heart moved.
Isn’t this the treasure of your own enlightenment?
Bowang Hou only drew half a big man, but he already had such power.
If I could draw the entire Han Dynasty, and even the whole world here, wouldn't this treasure map be the map of mountains, rivers, and the country?
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan held back his excitement: "Zhang Meng, let me ask you, did Bowang Hou ever say how he drew this picture?"
Zhang Meng was stunned and didn't understand what Chen Yuan meant at all.
However, after taking one look at Lu Bu, he couldn't help but tremble.
He said obediently: "The ancestors collected the essence of mountains and rivers and the essence of the world every time they went to the place, and used it to draw graphics, thus creating this treasure."
Hearing what Zhang Meng said, Chen Yuan suddenly understood.
That's it, that's it.
It seems that Bowang Hou also has great ambitions.
Bowang Hou may have wanted to refine a treasure similar to the Yu Gongquan Map, but he may not have wanted to use it for himself, but to offer it to Emperor Wu.
But for some unknown reason, Bowang Hou failed to fulfill his ambition.
No matter what Bowang Hou's purpose was back then, this treasure is mine now.
Maybe this is the treasure of my own enlightenment.
Is it possible that he wants to commit murder and seize treasure?
Looking at Zhang Meng who was lying on the ground in a miserable state, Chen Yuan's eyes flashed with cold light from time to time.
But Chen Yuan is not that kind of person after all.
In the end, Chen Yuan sighed: "Zhang Meng, according to my original idea, you will die today, and your Zhang family will be uprooted."
Hearing this, Zhang Meng was frightened.
He never expected that Chen Yuan would want to uproot the Zhang family.
The desire to survive is greater than anything else.
Zhang Meng immediately begged: "Don't be like this, don't be like this. Don't be like this. I, the Zhang family, are willing to serve as Biejia's lackeys. Please forgive me, the Zhang family, Biejia."
Seeing how miserable Zhang Meng was, Chen Yuan was not angry at all.
There is great terror between life and death. Most people will be like Zhang Meng when faced with life and death.
Chen Yuan raised his hand to stop Zhang Meng's pleading: "Don't beg for mercy now, I have changed my mind now."
"For the sake of your ancestor Bowang Hou and the face of this treasure map, I can forgive you Zhang family, but there are a few things you must do, otherwise you can go underground and apologize to Bowang Hou."
When Zhang Meng heard that Chen Yuan was willing to let him go, his eyes immediately shone with hope: "Please don't give me any instructions. My Zhang family will definitely obey them."
"The first point is that the Zhang family takes the lead in following various policies of the Prefectural Government, especially farming, freeing slaves, organizing households, and paying taxes as a whole. Is it possible to achieve this?"
When Zhang Meng heard this, he felt extremely reluctant.
Because once this is done, the Zhang family will completely break with other powerful people and landlords.
This is no joke, it might be in danger of capsizing.
But if you don't agree, the Zhang family will be gone now.
There was no other way, Zhang Meng could only bite the bullet and said: "Don't drive, my Zhang family is willing to handle this, but I still hope that the prefecture and county will not watch my Zhang family being bullied at some point."
Chen Yuan understood Zhang Meng's concerns.
"As long as you take the lead and follow it, the prefecture and the county government will naturally keep you safe."
Hearing Chen Yuan's assurance, Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it doesn't seem like I'm pushing myself into a dead end.
"Second point, before the county magistrate is reached, your Zhang family will help me maintain order in the county without causing any disorder in the county. Is it possible to do this?"
This is no problem at all for Zhang Meng.
After all, Bowang County is where his Zhang family is located, and he doesn't want chaos in the county, which would be of no benefit to the Zhang family.
If it weren't for the persecution of people like the Deng family, he would not have allowed Bowang County to become what it is now.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be no chaos in Bowang County.
"Third point, anyone in your Zhang family who commits adultery or abuses the people should be handed over to me."
"What?"
Hearing what Chen Yuan said, Zhang Meng couldn't hold himself any longer.
As the largest landowner in Bowang, it is absolutely impossible for you to say that the Zhang family has not done anything illegal.
Not only did it work, but it also worked hard.
But at least the Zhang family still has a certain bottom line and has not done anything.
What he did was just what many powerful men did, such as humiliating the people, oppressing the county government, taking advantage of others, annexing land, etc.
But he is not so crazy that he would kill someone directly.
If everyone is told, it is estimated that there will not be many people left in the Zhang family.
Zhang Meng gritted his teeth and said directly: "Don't drive. If this happens, there won't be many people left in my Zhang family. It's no different from genocide. Forgive me that I can't do this. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, don't drive."
.”
Seeing Zhang Meng acting like a bachelor, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile coldly.
Landlords and powerful people cannot escape from these bad habits.
However, what this guy said is right. If it were true, it would be better to destroy the Zhang family directly.
He glanced at the treasure map in his hand, and then thought about Bowang Hou's achievements.
Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
That's all, just give him a chance.
"Zhang Meng, are you trying to play tricks on me?"
Zhang Menglian said: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't drive, there is really no other way."
Chen Yuan snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the merits of Bowang Hou, your Zhang family would be completely eradicated today."
Seeing what Chen Yuan said, Zhang Meng couldn't help but feel relieved.
It seems that most of the Zhang family can probably be saved, but some people have to be sacrificed.
"So, how many people are there in your Zhang family now?"
Zhang Meng didn't know why Chen Yuan asked this, but he replied honestly: "My Zhang family has one hundred and thirty-two people. Including slaves, etc., there are about five or six hundred people."
Ha, this is the powerful family at this time.
A wealthy family in a mere county has as many as five or six hundred servants.
The wealthy family in that county must have thousands of servants.
This is a terrible number.
Think about how many people there are in Bowang County. According to statistics, the population of Bowang County will never exceed 30,000, or even less.
The Zhang family alone occupies one-thirtieth or even one-twentieth.
must be contained.
"There are one hundred and thirty members of the Zhang family. According to the severity of their crimes, the thirty with the least guilty ones will be kept. The remaining one hundred and two will be handed over to me. The servants will also be dismissed. You need to be self-reliant.
Are there any problems?"
"ah!"
Zhang Meng was immediately confused.
Of the one hundred and thirty-two people, only thirty are left, and all the slaves must be dismissed.
How can this be done? If so, wouldn't the Zhang family be doomed?
Zhang Meng probably had some clues about Chen Yuan at this time, and it seemed that this fellow had great respect for his ancestor.
So, Zhang Meng cried loudly: "Ancestor, the Zhang family you left behind is about to disappear. Please show your spirit and see."
While crying, she secretly looked at Chen Yuan's face.
Chen Yuan was unmoved at all, and even sneered: "Zhang Meng, for the sake of Marquis Bowang, I left you a way to survive, but you don't cherish it, but instead want to use it as a threat?"
"Then you are wrong. I can't bear the bloodline left by Bowang Hou to be cut off. But if you want to commit suicide, then you can't blame me. It's not like there are no descendants of Bowang Hou in the Chenggu Zhang family, as long as
Since Bowang Hou’s sacrifices continue, I can be considered worthy of Bowang Hou.”
At this moment, Chen Yuan finally couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
On the one hand, I was disgusted by the shameless behavior of the Zhang family.
On the one hand, it is a pity that the honorable name of Bowang Hou could lead to such unfilial descendants.
After saying that, Chen Yuan turned around and left, and then a voice floated over: "Feng Xian, watch over the Zhang family. No one is allowed to leave the Zhang family's door even half a step. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed."
With that said, Chen Yuan's figure disappeared into the distance.
Zhang Meng felt as if he had just woken up from a dream, and couldn't help but start to tremble.
He knew that the Zhang family was about to end.
Finally, he shouted towards Chen Yuan who was leaving: "Don't drive, don't leave. I agree to everything. I agree to everything."
However, it was too late by now.
Lu Bu smiled happily and walked up to Zhang Meng: "Aren't you cheap? The military advisor gave you a chance, but you didn't take it yourself. It's fine now. Don't worry, I, Lu Bu, am always very quick at killing people. I'll just bear it and get over it."
Already."
Zhang Meng looked at Lu Bu's bloodthirsty eyes and felt infinite fear in his heart: "General Lu, I am willing to be a lackey under your command. I agree to everything. Give me another chance, give me another chance, please."
.”
Zhang Meng said as he took off Lu Bu's clothes.
Lu Bu slapped Zhang Meng aside in disgust.
He was too lazy to say anything to such a stupid and bad person.
He turned his palm into a sword and knocked this stupid person unconscious.
Killing is not allowed.
Under the influence of Chen Yuan, even Lu Bu understood that military advisors did not like to use lynching.
Even if the Zhang family is to be killed, they must rely on the law to sentence them.
These powerful landowners dealt with them one by one according to the Nine Chapters Law, and no one was spared.
What happened after that was very simple. Zhou Tai brought the county soldiers according to Chen Yuan's talisman, and then gathered everyone in the Zhang family into a large courtyard.
After that, the interrogation began.
Without spending too much time on exercises, all the illegal things done by the Zhang family were exposed one by one.
Chen Yuan worked on site. According to the law, those who deserved beheading were beheaded, those who deserved exile were exiled, and those who deserved hard labor, in short, none of them escaped.
As for those servants, those who had not done any evil were given money and food to each of them to return to his home, and those who had done evil were dealt with according to the law.
The property of the Zhang family was first distributed to the slaves, and the rest was confiscated directly.
Of course, not all members of the Zhang family have committed crimes.
There are also very few people who are clean and have not committed any crimes.
Chen Yuan did not make things difficult for these people, and still distributed the property they deserved to them. Even the public property of the Zhang family was handed over to them.
The so-called public property refers to everything owned by the entire Zhang family.
These are also called clan properties, which are collective properties owned by all clan members.
This is a situation of China's clan system.
Family property is a very important thing for any clan. It is a system that maintains clan cohesion and strengthens the family.
Chen Yuan took out 20% of this part of the property and gave it to the clean Zhang family, and warned them to follow Zhang Meng as a warning and not to violate the law. Otherwise, when the time comes, the national law will be ruthless, and the Zhang family will really be doomed.
These people naturally responded obediently.
Chen Yuan did this so that the bloodline of Bowang Hou would not be cut off. As for whether these Zhang family members would hate him, Chen Yuan didn't care at all.
After handling the Zhang family's affairs, the new county magistrate of Bowang County also arrived.
