"All the big families, unite, let's..." He Chengze still refused to give up. The sudden collapse of the Tang family stung him. He originally thought that these big families were a privileged class, but who knew

Suddenly being knocked down by someone's backhand, the lack of sense of security and psychological advantage drove him crazy.

"Unity is nothing, people's hearts are divided. Besides, under the rule of the Zhongyong Army, those poor people have always been treated favorably. Many people may have been looking forward to it." He Cang took a deep breath. Don't look at the He family's usual treatment of the tenant farmers.

Not bad, in times of famine, the rent will be reduced, but compared with being able to own land, these are just dregs.

"They dare? They rebelled against them." He Chengze couldn't believe it. Those who were digging for food in his family's land, what extravagant expectations could they have?

On weekdays, when everyone saw him, they would either nod and bow with utmost respect, or they would stay away from him, and they didn't look like a thorny character.

"Qin Shihuang thought the same way back then. What's the result? They are in such a posture now. No one is backing them. If King Zhongyong was backing them, would they dare to bite you to death?" He Cang sighed. This son has been around since he was a child.

I have never suffered.

In his early years, he was doing business with his father. When he passed through a famine land and saw the hungry people, he would never forget his green eyes.

He Chengze was silent. Usually, the big family dominates the local area. Apart from money and food, the biggest support is the relationship with the government. The common people are afraid of the government, so they have to be obedient to them.

Nowadays, the people in the government cannot protect themselves, and King Zhongyong, who holds military power, obviously wants to suppress the big family. They should really restrain themselves to avoid following in the footsteps of the Tang family.

"Dad, what should we do?" He Chengze took a deep breath and finally figured out the reason behind this.

"What should I do? Get up early tomorrow and take the first step for my father. You can take people to Muzhou with money and food. Since you can't resist, then spend money to buy Ping An. The sooner you do this, the better the treatment will be." He Cang looked at his son,

There was relief in his eyes. Even though he was a little young and energetic, he was able to listen to advice after all, instead of going all the way to the dark side.

"Dad, how much are you prepared to pay?" He Cang touched his nose. Damn, he is so awesome with military power in his hands. He killed and robbed a lot of money. They were scared to death and still had to pay for it.

Safety.

"Five thousand taels of silver, one thousand shi of grain, and three hundred bolts of cloth. That's all. It won't hurt your muscles and bones." He Cang rubbed his hands. This is too little. I can't get rid of it. That person

But now Qi's affairs are decided by people.

"Son, I understand." He Chengze nodded and did as he was told.

"Zhu'er, please comfort me. No one in the Tang family can do anything this time. We can only resign ourselves to fate." Zhu'er is He Chengze's wife, the daughter of the Tang family, and the daughter of the brother of the patriarch Tang Qiwang.

"Father, don't worry, my son knows." He Chengze has completely figured it out. They are determined not to be able to squeeze King Zhongyong's thigh, so they should be wiser.

In today's Muzhou City, just after midnight, the west gate is bustling with activity, and a large number of soldiers are maintaining order in the open space at the city gate. At noon, the governor Nie Maoying will judge everyone from the Tang family and the officials of Sui'an County government here. The Tang family,

The most prestigious family in Muzhou City naturally attracted great attention once it was overthrown.

When He Cang passed by with his entourage, everyone in the Tang family had not yet been brought. He did not stop and went directly into the city to the inn.

Sun Yu, the loyal and brave king, has recently settled in the inn. He Cang has already inquired about this matter. Since he is showing his loyalty, he must do it in one step. Moreover, He Cang feels that his skill is not small, and he is qualified to follow him.

Sun Yu met last time.

As soon as he arrived at the inn, He Cang handed over a name card and a gift list, indicating his intention to come and asking to see the loyal and brave king Sunyu.

The guard guarding the door was very polite and took He Cang to the hall in front of the inn to sit down. He also asked the waiter to bring him tea and snacks. He Cang felt like he was visiting a business store.

"Hey, Mr. He, you came quite early."

Suddenly someone said hello behind him. He Cang turned around and saw that it was Wu Bang from the next town. This man had the reputation of being a civil servant.

"Mr. Wu, please forgive He for being rude, I didn't pay attention just now." He Cang stood up quickly. This man surnamed Wu is not as good as his He family. He has several generations of foundation, but he has fame and fame. After all, he has to live in vain.

One head shorter.

"It doesn't matter. We are all from the village. This is my good friend, Mr. Li. The two of us came in as soon as the city gate opened. I never thought that there would be someone earlier." Mr. Wu said to the man who was walking beside him.

The man introduced him to He Cang.

He Cang and Li Yuanwai complimented each other, and it was considered that they knew each other.

"Master Wu, why are you here?" He Cang asked tentatively.

"Hey, isn't it all for the family? There has been such a fuss recently, so I came to find out what it means. What is the purpose of He Yuanwai coming here?" Wu Bang was embarrassed to say that he was here.

Those who pay protection fees can only be vague.

"He came here, not as much as Wu Yuanwai, mainly to show his face in front of the prince." He Cang secretly thought in his heart. After all, he can speak smoothly in front of King Zhongyong, even if he has seen the world.

, a bad person can just pretend to be in front of me.

"Well, Mr. He, please be patient and wait patiently. Mr. Wu will go there first, and Mr. Li will be behind me..." Wu Bang thinks very highly of himself. Among the three of them, he is the only one who has achieved fame.

, I came earlier than Hecang, so I should be at the front of the queue.

"Master Wu is right." He Cang was unhappy. He had no intention of jumping in line, but Wu Bang's attitude was a bit difficult for him to accept, but he didn't show it on his face, and he tolerated it for a while.

After Wu Bang and Mr. Li returned to their seats, He Cangfu sat down again, drank tea quietly and waited.

After a while, a fat man with big ears came out of the backyard with excitement on his face. He Cang recognized him. He was a wealthy man in Muzhou City. There were several shops in the city and two farms outside the city. He Cang recognized him.

The family's property has grown considerably. Since this person can leave with satisfaction, he must not have too many problems.

"Exceptor He, the prince has invited you!" He Cang, who originally thought he would have to wait a long time, was suddenly called, and his whole body froze.

"Who are you?" The soldier approached and called again.

"Hey, He is here, here!" He Cang stood up immediately. Although he didn't know why, he was the prince and he couldn't keep him waiting any longer.

"Well, come with me!" The soldier nodded, turned around and motioned for He Cang to follow.

"This military master, I'll be here first." Wu Bang, who was originally the old man, was suddenly dumbfounded. He Cang had used some dirty tricks to squeeze in front of him.

"Who stipulates that first come first come first? Whoever the prince wants to receive does not need to consider anyone's opinion." The soldier turned around, but he was quite polite. Without saying a word, he led He Cang back.

Wu Bang and Li Yuanwei looked stunned, wondering why this was happening.

Wu Bang just treated it as a normal visit and prepared some gifts, but compared to He Cang, who directly brought out half of his family's wealth, it was far behind.

"I have seen the prince!" He Cang saluted respectfully.

"Hecang, right? Take a seat!" Sun Yu was looking through the official documents sent. Official documents from various states and counties were sent to Hangzhou, approved by Xu Yi, and then sent to Sun Yu for filing to improve efficiency.

The Zhongyong Army, Shence Army, and Shenyu Army all sent military information directly to Sun Yu's desk.

In this room, apart from Sun Yu, there was only a man standing at the door carrying a mace. When He Cang passed by just now, his legs were trembling with fear.

"Do you know why I received you first?" Sun Yu put down his pen and looked at He Cang.

"Young people don't know!" He Cang shook his head. Being looked at directly by Sun Yu, he actually felt helpless. The power was too great.

"Because of this!" Sun Yu picked up the gift list. This was indeed a generous gift. If the Yue gentry was like a family, he would not have to worry about having no money and food. He would have gone to Jiangning in one go.

"This is for Xiaomin to atone for his sins." He Cang felt a little more at ease. Since the other party paid attention to it, it meant that he had made the right gift.

"Atonement? What sins have been committed under this king's rule that are worthy of so much money and food?" Sun Yu was curious about what He Cang had in mind.

"Xiao Min's daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Tang family." He Cang said it directly. The main reason was that he didn't have the energy to think about anything at the moment and was under too much pressure. Of course, this batch of money and food was mainly to please Sun Yu.

It's not just for his daughter-in-law, otherwise Hecang would not be able to part with so much money and food. If this were used as a betrothal gift, it would be enough to marry him ten or eight times.

"The crime of the Tang family has not yet been decided. This matter is under the charge of Lord Nie, the governor, and I will not interfere. But you can rest assured that under my rule, there has never been any involvement in anything. As long as your He family is not involved, you will

You're fine." Sun Yu looked at him a bit, wondering if this person had any intention of interceding for the Tang family.

If the other party really opens his mouth, Sun Yu can only refuse. The Tang family is the key to his authority.

"In this way, I can rest assured." He Cang couldn't help but nodded. As long as there was no involvement, he was not involved in the armor and crossbow incident, and that was the key to the Tang family's life.

"With these things, if I tell you something, you will lose." Sun Yu smiled, He Cang was indeed a discerning man.

Being able to spend so much money and food at one time is considered a favor to him, so you might as well give him some preferential treatment.

"Then, if you are brave, this little fellow, please ask the prince to point you to a clear path." He Cang's heart was filled with confusion and he knelt down directly.

What he is most troubled about now is where the He family should go in the future.

There had been rumors in the Yamen before that they wanted to imitate Jianzhou and implement tiered tax rates on land. Most of the He family's land would have to be sold to the government, otherwise they would still lose money on farming.

From now on, if the He family wants to maintain their wealth, they will have to find other ways.

"This land reform will definitely be promoted. No one can stop me. If you dare to use your arms as a chariot, you must be prepared to be shattered to pieces. The sages once said that there is no stability without farmers and no wealth without business. What I am doing now,

It is to promote the development of agriculture so that people can have enough to eat. In the future, the output of agriculture will be more and more. When people are full, there will be other needs, and this business will become more and more prosperous.

"In my opinion, it is good to engage in breeding, run workshops, or do business." In Sun Yu's opinion, in the past, everyone did not have enough to eat, and their needs were all focused on land and food.

With the development of agriculture, the output of land will continue to improve. After food becomes abundant, people will begin to seek to eat better, and the demand for meat will increase. The breeding industry must have great prospects.

As for workshops, when society prospers and there is a surplus, all kinds of consumption will be stimulated. It is also a good choice, but what to produce needs to be carefully considered.
