Princess Ninth's voice was not very loud, but her words were as cold as ice.
Her words meant that hundreds of heads would be chopped off.
"Deserves to be killed!"
Guan Xiaorou, who had always been kind-hearted, now also had murderous intentions.
When Jin Feng heard this, he frowned slightly, thinking about the pros and cons.
The two families' intentions were so vicious that they even wanted to besiege the dock and kill them all.
The core figures of the Sichuan-Shu regime are Jin Feng and Ninth Princess. They are both at the dock now. If the Yuwen family and the Zhou family succeed, Jin Feng and Ninth Princess will probably be torn into pieces by the impulsive people.
At that time, the Sichuan-Shu regime will collapse in an instant, and the entire Dakang will become even more chaotic than before. It will be difficult to stabilize it again without a few decades.
Jin Feng could not imagine how many people would die in these decades.
This is not because Jin Feng feels good about himself, but because his current influence is enough to shake the world.
The second reason is that severe cases require strong medication.
The current situation in Jiangnan and the Central Plains is too serious. At this time, the Yuwen family and the Zhou family still want to do evil and must be suppressed with the most brutal means. Otherwise, other wealthy gentry families will not be punished too severely if they see the trouble. It is very likely that
Will follow suit.
And just like what Guan Xiaorou said, the fact that the two families are so afraid of the escorts going to liquidate them shows that they are not good birds, and they may have done a lot to cause trouble in the village.
What's more, there are very few falconers in Dakang. If they bring out so many falcons at once, they will most likely have something to do with the Eastern Barbarians or Dangxiang.
Would such a wealthy and gentry family still keep it to celebrate the New Year without killing them?
Even if the bodyguards call and hold a trial, the two families probably won't survive.
Jin Feng could understand the Ninth Princess's decision, but he always believed that whoever commits a crime should be punished, and he was more opposed to the implicated punishment of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
In the newly promulgated criminal law documents of the Sichuan-Sichuan regime, clauses such as joint sitting were also abolished.
Jin Feng thought about it again and again, and finally said: "Even if the Yuwen family and the Zhou family are extremely guilty, they still have to go through the necessary procedures. Those children and members of the two families who have not participated in this matter and have never oppressed the people in normal times do not have to sit together if they are not guilty.
"
"Husband, I know you have a kind heart, but this kind of wealthy family is different from ordinary people. They must have transferred their property before the uprising. If the roots are not eradicated, their descendants will probably cause big troubles by using this wealth.
!" Ninth Princess reminded.
A penny is too much for a hero. Even if ordinary people are dissatisfied with the court and have no money, they can't make any trouble. At most, they will kill a few innocent people who are also unarmed to vent their anger. For court officials who are always protected by guards, they will not do anything.
have any impact.
But the descendants of those wealthy gentry families are different. Their ancestors often believe in the principle of cunning rabbits and three burrows, and will transfer part of the family property during the prosperous period. If the family falls into decline, the descendants can rely on these family properties to make a comeback.
In addition, transportation and communications in the feudal era were extremely backward, and the court was unable to supervise many places. In order to prevent the descendants of the wealthy families from causing big troubles, the court's strategy towards the wealthy families has always been not to take action, but to eradicate the roots once they took action.
"The country cannot be ruled and the people cannot be ruled. Since the imperial court has formulated laws, we should take the lead in abiding by them. Otherwise, what is the point of enacting laws?"
Jin Feng said: "No matter what the imperial court does, there will always be people who are dissatisfied with the imperial court. This cannot be a reason to be implicated. I was not afraid of the wealthy family when they were at their strongest, let alone a few descendants who are in trouble?
Without the support of their family, they should survive first."
In fact, this kind of thing was very common after the land was divided among local tycoons in previous lives.
At that time, many landowners were tried, and their fields were distributed to the people by the government. The luxurious life of the descendants of the landowners was suddenly gone. Don't they hate it?
Of course they hate it, but do they dare to cause trouble?
There is no need for the government to explain, the local people will target them to death.
If they suppress their hatred in their hearts and just live a good life, those who are unconvinced and make trouble are seeking death.
Those who dare not make trouble will basically forget their hatred after a few decades or two or three generations.
This is true for ordinary landowners, and it is almost the same for wealthy gentry and soldiers.
For example, Jia Baoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions", before Jia's family fell into poverty, he lived a life of fine clothing and fine food. Every day he was eating, drinking and having fun. The maids and servants in the house coaxed him and he did not dare to disobey.
When the Jia family fell into decline, he was like a bereft dog, helplessly watching his former best friends become playthings on flower boats, but he was helpless.
Jin Feng believes that as long as he is alive, he will definitely be able to bring Dakang into industrial society in the next few decades. By then, communication and transportation will become more and more convenient, and the court's control over local areas will become stronger and stronger.
But what gives Jin Feng the most confidence is that he believes that in the next few decades, he will definitely make the lives of the people of Dakang better and better.
The people's lives have improved, but if the descendants of the wealthy families want to cause trouble again, the people will not let them go.
Therefore, Jin Feng is not afraid of the descendants of the wealthy family making trouble at all.
What he fears is that law enforcers fail to abide by the law and abuse their power.
What he fears is that officials forget their origins, become isolated from the masses, and become arrogant.
What he fears is that in a few decades, classes will solidify again, and people from poor backgrounds will have no room for advancement and will become desperate and lead a negative life.
In Jin Feng's view, one arrogant and corrupt official can do more harm to the people and threaten the political power than ten descendants of wealthy families who hate the imperial court.
Because the revenge of the descendants of the wealthy family against the imperial court is an external threat, it can be suppressed.
Corrupt officials are a threat from within.
Since ancient times, in all organizations, internal corruption has been more terrifying than external threats.
If we are united internally, no matter how powerful the enemy is, we will not be afraid.
But once there is corruption within an organization, no matter how strong it looks on the outside, it is nothing more than a fragile charade.
Therefore, even if Jin Feng becomes the most powerful person in the world, he almost never bullies men and dominates women, let alone violates Dakang laws.
But the Ninth Princess was born in the palace. In her concept, the royal power is supreme and the whole world can be taken or taken away, including everyone's life and laws.
In the feudal era, the emperor's words were the law. If there was a conflict between the emperor's words and the laws being implemented, the emperor's words would prevail.
The only people who can restrict the emperor are the emperors before him, such as the father and grandfather of the current emperor. If there is a conflict between the current emperor's words and what they have said before, the words of the ancestors will prevail.
If you encounter a foolish emperor and give him such great power, he will soon destroy a powerful country.
So even if Jin Feng himself becomes the uncrowned king, the current emperor is still his wife, but for the long-term stability of the regime, Jin Feng has been trying to weaken the emperor's power before the Ninth Princess ascended the throne.
