There were a lot of people arrested this time. It’s probably because the four parties were too ruthless. Basically, all the powerful forces in the government who could get on the stage were wiped out by them, and a few were scratched.
A thousand taels, and even two or three thousand more.
Of course, this is only a drop in the bucket, and everyone can still afford it. However, now that the list is in Wang Xuan's hands, it will be a big trouble for all the big families!
On this day, there were more than two hundred people standing in the back garden of the prefect's Yamen. These people were all heads of major aristocratic families in Guangxi. At this moment, a group of twenty or thirty people were chatting about something.
"Brother Li, you are relatively close to Siming Mansion. I heard you came earlier?"
The man called Brother Li shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Zhang, don't talk so nicely. I have been arrested for more than half a month."
"So long?" The man surnamed Zhang was surprised and couldn't help asking: "Isn't there going to be a big commotion at home?"
"That's not the case. First of all, family members are not prohibited from coming to meet or deliver any news, as long as they don't leave the city. In addition..." The voice surnamed Li lowered his voice: "In this situation, who dares to make trouble?
I really want to give up my position as head of the family, but I’m afraid no one will dare to take it!”
"..." After hearing this, the man surnamed Zhang's expression darkened, and he couldn't help but talk. Indeed, when he and several important family members were taken away, the family members were as if they were about to die, and he was the one who burst into tears.
Several people were also prepared to die.
"Brother Li came early to find out what's going on." When he asked this question, there was silence all around, and everyone looked at the man surnamed Li nervously.
"This..." The man surnamed Li frowned and thought for a moment and said, "There is some news, I don't know whether it is accurate or not. You can just listen to it for now. During this period, many merchants have come from the east."
"From Guangdong?" Someone couldn't help but interjected and asked.
"Part of Guangdong, part of Fujian." The man surnamed Li nodded and raised his fists to the left to show respect. "As you all know, the Guangdong side was also occupied by Mr. Wuzhou a few months ago.
I heard that more than 20 of the top aristocratic families were exterminated, and many officials had their homes confiscated, but to be honest, a mid-sized family like us seems to have received huge benefits for nothing."
"Hi~" "What?" "Really?"
I heard low voices all around, and all the family heads looked in disbelief. How could this be possible? According to the members of the four major parties, weren't all the big and small families in Guangdong wiped out?
"Really, everyone may also know that Annan's invasion was actually a plan set up by Mr. Wuzhou." Seeing everyone nodding, the man surnamed Li continued: "I heard that Annan was completely conquered by Mr. Wuzhou."
Everyone was stunned, what does complete conquest mean?
"It literally means that no Annan people will bother us anymore."
"It's impossible. No dynasty has ever completely conquered Annan."
"Haha." The man surnamed Li smiled coldly, "As far as I know, there are no Annan people in Annan!"
Seeing everyone in a daze and looking shocked, he continued: "Yes, no more. The chickens and dogs were slaughtered in five cities including Nam Dinh City and Thang Long Palace. Most of the remaining people were captured and taken to Guangdong and
Fujian has become a slave, so there will be no Annan rebellion in the future!"
Along with the words, a cold wind blew around them for some reason, making everyone feel chilled and broke out in cold sweat!
How many years has it been since we heard of someone massacring a city? One hundred years, two hundred years or three hundred years?
Thinking about this kind of thing, I can't help but make my hair stand on end. It's really too cruel.
"How could Mr. Wuzhou massacre Annan? Doesn't he want to lose his reputation?" someone asked with a trembling voice.
"Reputation? The Annan people are gone, who will scold him? Now, a lot of land in Annan has been sold to Cantonese people. An acre of good paddy fields is worth ten taels of silver and three crops a year. You can buy as much as you want! Follow us.
Among the similar aristocratic families, some of them bought tens of thousands of acres, and even more than ten or two hundred thousand acres. It’s not like we in Guangxi and Guangdong don’t have much arable land over there. There are large areas of plain arable land there. I heard that there are more than 20 million acres.
Acres of land for sale!”
"Hiss!" Everyone took a breath of cold air, and the fear just disappeared. Does the slaughter of the city have a copper-level relationship with me? Only the land is real!
If 100,000 acres of land can be passed down, it will jump into the ranks of the top aristocratic families. It is exciting to think about it!
"Wait a minute!" Someone suddenly realized it and couldn't help shouting: "According to this, we were all fooled by people from the four major parties. If there hadn't been this war, maybe we would have bought ten
Tens of thousands of acres of land!”
"It's not maybe, it's definitely." The man surnamed Li sneered, "What's the difference between Guangdong and Guangxi? Guangxi can't get the same treatment as Guangdong. Besides, Annan is not the same as before. They are all from Ming Dynasty, so there is no need
If we think about the rebellion again, how will it be different from what we are doing now!"
There is something not clearly stated here, which means that even if Wang Xuan loses, Annan is still a Ming Dynasty person, so it will completely become the land of the Ming Dynasty!
"Damn, the four damn parties!" Someone couldn't help but cursed.
People from the four major parties don't care about this kind of huge wealth, but they can't!
Waves of curses sounded vaguely from all around. At this moment, a high-pitched voice sounded, "Mr. Wuzhou Wang Xuan is here!"
As soon as this sound rang out, the entire backyard immediately fell silent. No one made a sound. Only the man named Li and several other people in the circle looked at each other from a distance and nodded slightly.
Wang Xuan did not deliberately control his evil aura, and his eyes swept over every family head present. Anyone who met his eyes felt stiff all over, and the hairs on their bodies stood up.
"Everyone present is from various aristocratic families in Guangxi, and they have all donated money and materials to the Guangxi Allied Forces." As he spoke, Wang Xuan shook the account book in his hand, "Let me see, hey, there are nine families who are quite motivated.
This guy has donated more than five thousand taels of silver. It seems that you are very rich."
"But these nine people have only gone to two families now. As for the other seven families, I learned about their situation. Their reputation is very bad. It is hard to overstate how many crimes they have committed. They have caused public resentment. Hehe, it is true this time.
The people's resentment is boiling. You have represented these people for more than a thousand years. It is rare for you to represent yourself once. Therefore, I will send the whole family of these seven families to hell!"
This sentence made everyone tremble with fear again. No wonder, no wonder they didn't see those seven big families. It turned out that they had been exterminated by everyone.
"The reason why there are only two families left is because your family tradition is pretty good. Although there are some minor mistakes here and there, the sins are not serious. Therefore, Yan and Zou families, please maintain the family tradition and don't let unfilial children suffer the consequences of the two.
If you cause trouble, your family will be destroyed and everyone will be killed!"
The two heads of the family who were named had sweat flowing out of their bodies like a stream. They bowed deeply to Wang Xuan tremblingly. For people from a big family like them, only the annihilation of their whole family can make them feel real.
of fear.
Wang Xuan nodded and stopped talking to them. His eyes fell on the others, "Let's talk about your affairs later!"
"An ancient saying goes, if you make a mistake, you must admit it, and if you are beaten, you must stand upright!"
Everyone was stunned. Are you sure the ancients said this?
"I don't need money. I have no choice. I am too rich, but I will punish you in the following way."
At this point, everyone held their breath and listened carefully, "Because Annan is going to be developed on a large scale, all those who have paid more than two thousand taels will be relocated to Annan and resettled. The land in Guangxi will be equally replaced according to the area.
After arriving in Annan, after resettlement, you can be allowed to continue to purchase land at a price of twelve taels per mu, and you can also receive loans. The rules are the same as those in Guangdong."
After the punishment conditions were explained, the whole backyard fell into dead silence.
The man surnamed Li has arranged a pre-arranged entrustment and told all the news about Annan. The paddy fields that are harvested three times a year are much better than the land in Guangxi. To be honest, no one here will not covet it. However, there is no
People are willing to abandon their homes and careers to go to a completely unfamiliar Guangxi to work hard.
To put it bluntly, everyone has a big family and a big business. They set their sights on Annan to take the family a step further, but they have no intention of moving. After all, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and people who leave their hometown are humble.
But the problem is... who dares to refuse? Everyone started to look around, hoping that someone could stand up and say a fair word. However, even the Yan and Zou family, who were once prominent for a while, were weak and cold, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.
, not to mention them.
In fact, the two heads of the family just figured it out at this time. The words they spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy yesterday will be remembered at the venue tomorrow. Remember, not saying a word can keep the whole family safe and worry-free. Perhaps, there will be further progress in the future.
possible!
The scene mentioned in the previous sentence should be this. It can be said that everything should be in Wang Xuan's plan. If they dare to ruin this situation, then the fate that awaits the two families will definitely be inevitable.
As for the last sentence, the two of them were still a little confused, and it was difficult to understand the key point for a while.
The scene was frozen here. For a while, everyone had different thoughts. They all abided by the rule of shooting the first bird, and were eager to go out and explore Wang Xuan's attitude impulsively.
"Okay, since there is no objection, this matter is settled. There will be staff to hand over to each company later. I advise you not to be too careful and clever. This is your first time to make a mistake. I will communicate with you in words.
,Of course, I am very good at this, and I am good at using a knife to teach people how to do things, so no one has ever made a third mistake!"
If you had said this earlier, wouldn’t we have understood why you were wasting so much time!
All the family heads applauded and thanked Wang Xuan for giving them this precious opportunity to participate in the development and construction of Annan. They will definitely go all out to live up to Wang Xuan's ardent hope and dedicate everything they have to the motherland and the people!
