Is such a secret absurd? It is indeed absurd enough.
As a county magistrate, will he be short of women? Even if he is short of women, he can use other methods.
Just as the official said.
This is the county magistrate's hobby. He wants to seize other people's wives and let other people's wives give him children.
Moreover, after being discovered by the official, he actually felt more interested in being watched by the official.
What kind of twisted psychology is this.
Such a person should be sent to the eighteenth level of hell.
What you need to deal with a case is not evidence of crime, but money.
There are also things like Huai'en Temple.
Regarding the county magistrate, Pei Yun's thoughts are.
If the county magistrate can be removed, it will indeed be a good thing for Min County.
So, what about Liu Mansion?
Naturally, the questions about the Liu Mansion came from Mr. Fan’s mouth.
Although Mr. Fan went crazy, he also told a lot of things.
First of all, you need to know that Liufu owns half of the fields in Min County.
In Da Qin, fields represented a person's power.
The Liu family's power in Min County is definitely at its peak.
This is why the Liu family is not only a landlord, but also a noble family.
Gentlemen and landowners are different.
There are many noble clans in Da Qin, and they are all related.
In this way, once one noble clan is harmed, other noble clans will help.
That is to say, with such a connection, the nobles dared to compete with the imperial court.
In some places, the gentry were still superior to the imperial court.
For example, some ethnic minorities in the south are beyond the reach of the imperial court. How can they defeat the local residents, and these local residents are united as one.
In Min County, the Liu family was naturally unable to dominate the imperial court.
But as a noble family, the Liu family is also a local emperor.
For example, the imperial court would levy land tax on the Liu Mansion.
However, the court had no control over how much land tax the Liu Mansion levied on the people.
As long as the people are not angry and resentful, causing the people to rebel, even if the Liu family forces the people to death, the court will not care.
This is the power of a noble clan.
Although this is cruel, according to the regulations, Liu Mansion did nothing wrong.
The fields are privately owned by the Liu family, and the amount of land tax collected is entirely a private matter of the Liu family. If the people feel that they can't live with it, they don't have to plant the Liu family's fields. The Liu family doesn't put a knife on the people's necks to force them to farm the fields.
.
In this matter, the Liu Mansion actually did a pretty good job and did not use land tax to force the people to death.
If you just look at the land tax of the Liu Mansion, you might even think that the Liu Mansion is kind.
Therefore, the Liu Mansion has a good reputation from the outside world.
But in fact, this is the cleverness of the Liu family, to win a good reputation for themselves, but secretly they use the most vicious methods.
They bribed, colluded with bandits, and snatched food back from the hands of the people through robbery.
Through this method, the Liu family can get as much food as they want.
You can destroy people's families without any care, and the people still don't know that they did it.
And doing this has other benefits.
The grain snatched back by the bandits was not recorded in the ledger, and this part of the grain did not need to be paid land tax to the court.
Because this part is not recorded in the books, when there is a natural disaster or a shortage of food, it can be sold at a shady price, which is what the saying goes: national wealth.
After all, if the food on the market is sold at too high a price, it will cause suppression by the court.
And the food that is not recorded in the account cannot be confirmed by others as being one's own.
Natural disasters here refer to droughts, floods, and locust plagues, while man-made disasters refer to wars.
When natural and man-made disasters occur, either food income decreases or food consumption increases.
And such things are not uncommon.
Great Qin would go to war with foreign enemies every now and then.
As for natural disasters, they may be fine today and come tomorrow.
What you are getting is the wealth of the country. What if the country is really in trouble?
If the country is really in trouble, that is also a matter for the imperial court.
The reason why the gentry can be called gentry is that it has been passed down for hundreds, even thousands of years.
Even if the dynasty changes, the nobles can still survive.
There are many nobles who have lived longer than the imperial court.
Speaking of which, if there is a real change of dynasty and a change of people, it is impossible to overthrow the entire world.
The world is actually still one world.
As for the gentry and the Liu Mansion, the people of Min County should be exploited by them from generation to generation.
People of different classes are people of different worlds.
Even if people like common people die, it will not affect their own class or have anything to do with their own world.
To the nobles, the common people were equal to ants.
What the Liu Mansion did in Min County was to treat the people as ants.
The Wa bandits have always been helping Liu Mansion with things.
But I never thought that the big boss and the third boss of the Wa Bandits were both dead, and the second boss became an uncontrollable factor after taking charge of the Wa Bandits.
Of course, in the eyes of Liu Mansion, this is not a big problem. No, he organized another Green Forest League in a short period of time.
Although the Green Forest Alliance was also broken up by the Wa bandits.
But this is not a problem. As long as there is time, Liu Mansion can also organize the Yellow Forest League and the Blue Forest League...
From Master Fan's words, Pei Yun truly understood what Liu Mansion represented.
I have only heard of the word gentry, but I have no contact with it.
All I know is that the biggest impact on the gentry was the emergence of the imperial examination.
The imperial examination gave poor families hope to rise, so that the world would no longer be monopolized by the gentry.
Nowadays, Great Qin has imperial examinations, but it only makes the gentry less arrogant than before.
I have never had any contact with other nobles, so I cannot make too many comments.
But as for the Liu Mansion, I can already conclude that the Liu Mansion is the scourge of Min County.
There is Nanshan Village in the front and Niutou Village in the back. The deaths of those people can be said to be caused by the Liu family.
Not just Nanshan Village and Niutou Village, but also other villages...
There are too many books to write.
The paper in my hand can write down the officials who should be killed, but it cannot write down the outrageous things that the Liu family has done.
But the other party was a nobleman, so what could he do?
Fortunately, there are other people who have thoughts about the Liu Mansion.
Gong Zihong will be the one who takes the lead.
Speaking of which, the conflict between Gong Zihong and the Liu family is huge.
Gong Zihong's father wanted to reform the imperial examinations in a drastic way, but in the end he failed because he took too many steps, and there were indispensable stumbling blocks among the gentry.
However, if Gong Zihong used this reason to go to the Liu Mansion to have a conflict, some people would not accept it.
For example, the one who protected the Gong family, and even his sister who married into the eldest princess's house.
Therefore, Gong Zihong needs to find another reason, and falling in love with Sun Youniang is the reason he is looking for.
This reason, how should I put it, may be that he can't find a better reason in a short time.
