Chapter 547: The End of the Hao Clan

In early summer, the flowers and trees in the palace were lush, and even breathing felt much easier. WwΔW. "Lie Wen. CC

After walking for a while, seeing that Zhang Fu was still calm, Hu Guang coughed dryly and said, "My lord, the world has been at peace for a long time, and we should put the people first. It's time for me, Ming, to recuperate!"

The officials I met on the road were frightened and hurried to the side when they saw that the civil and military giants were actually walking together.

What's the matter today?

The two big bosses who couldn't speak a few words in the past, unexpectedly... Could it be that something serious happened today?

Zhang Fu said without looking sideways: "There are Oara Tatars in the north, Jiaozhi and Yunnan chieftains in the south, and the Wa kingdom across the sea. Mr. Hu, knives and guns cannot be put into storage!"

Hu Guangyun smiled lightly and said: "There are priorities. The British government, the Ming Dynasty established the capital in Beiping at this time, and all parties have water conservancy. This Jiaozhi has to emigrate. Where does it not want money and food?"

Zhang Fu said expressionlessly: "After Jiaozhi is pacified, not only will it not consume Daming's money and food, but it will also feed back to Daming every year. Mr. Hu, if there is not enough space for Daming's population to multiply, is it necessary to have a folk board like the previous dynasty?" swing?"

Whenever the population multiplies to a certain level, there will always be a shortage of land in the Central Plains Dynasty. At this time, once some natural disasters occur, foreigners will immediately take the opportunity to enter the customs.

Hu Guang smiled wryly and said: "It's easy to say that knives and guns are not stored in the warehouse, but every year of war, when can the people rest?"

Zhang Fu was stunned, and smiled lightly: "It's interesting to talk about Uncle Xinghe. He said that if the people will see the benefits of fighting abroad, then you don't want them to rest!"

"absurd!"

Seeing Hu Guang leaving in a hurry, Zhang Fu couldn't help shaking his head and sighing softly.

...

Since Zhu Di agreed to exterminate those dissident wealthy families, Fang Xing would naturally let go.

And Chen Mo has already selected a few thousand acres of contiguous land. This is just the first step. After the family's manpower and money and food arrive, his goal is at least 50,000 acres.

What is most needed at the moment is to supervise the manpower of those captives farming. For this reason, Chen Mo set up a table at the gate of the city early in the morning.

"We're hiring supervisors! The work is easy and the pay is good..."

I heard it was the overseer,

Those Cochin people and Han people all came over to ask about the situation.

The steward under Chen Mo said loudly: "My master has already taken a good look at the land, and there are also manpower for farming. He just needs some who can do it and manage people. As long as they are selected, they will not worry about board and lodging, and they will be paid once a month... ..."

"Step aside!"

There was a burst of shouting outside the door, and the people around the table quickly backed away, and then they saw a row of men and women tied up with ropes and brought into the city.

These men and women are dressed gorgeously, and their hands, feet and skin look like pampered people.

But these men and women were rudely shouted at by those sergeants at this time, and they looked embarrassed.

"What's going on here?"

The people around were a little panicked.

Seeing this situation, Chen Mo came out and explained: "Don't worry, these are rich families with evil intentions, and have nothing to do with the common people."

"Tsk tsk! Then what did they do?"

A man stared at the pretty woman and asked, almost drooling.

At this time, a woman came over accompanied by two men, and she said after hearing the words: "These people used to dominate our heads, and the land rent was as high as 40 to 50%, but how much does Daming charge now?"

"The Chief Secretary said that His Majesty is kind and knows that the people need to recuperate, so this year only 20% will be charged, and next year 30% will be charged." A man said gratefully.

The woman nodded and said: "Since His Majesty is so kind, why do these wealthy families rebel?"

"They rebelled?"

"Yes, it's treason!"

The woman's expression was stern, and she naturally looked awe-inspiring and inviolable: "Every time our intercourse becomes more stable, there are always some people who have to struggle with it. Who are those people?"

Seeing that these people were a little dazed, the woman shouted: "Those people are wealthy landlords. They are ambitious, but they ruined the families of our common people. If we don't get rid of them, how can we live a good life! Maybe after a while, someone will rebel. , when the time comes, people will panic, who dares to harvest the crops in that field!"

"That's right! If we hadn't been entrusted by Mr. Huang to be here all these years, we would have been dragged into rebellion long ago. By then, the whole family will be dead, and only those wealthy landlords will be fulfilled!"

The woman smiled in satisfaction and said, "That's it. In the future, without these wealthy families tossing around our heads, life will definitely get better."

After the woman left, someone asked who she was.

"She is Xiaoniang, the woman who killed her husband some time ago."

"Isn't she sentenced to fifty years of hard labor? How did she get out?"

"That's why Xing and Bo felt sorry for her daughter and let her come out."

"Then what is she doing now? Why does she look so majestic."

"It seems that she is going to talk to those women specifically. If a woman is bullied, she will take the servants to find trouble with the men. She has already sent more than 20 people to plant sugar cane..."

"Huh? So powerful?

"Not only that, but now my young lady is working in the Chief Secretary, and she still has a monthly salary and food. I heard that even her daughter has some milk to drink every month..."

Xiaoniang is indeed different from before. Now she is full of confidence. She goes out every day to publicize women's rights, arrests those men who beat their wives, and also has to learn Daming dialect and characters. She is so busy that she can't even take care of her daughter.

However, after seeing the young mother's rebirth, the natal family immediately changed their attitudes. Not only did they take her daughter to take care of them, but they often asked her about her health, but never mentioned the matter of finding her another husband.

Xiao Niang never thought about finding another husband, she had her own ideas.

In the chief secretary's yamen, Huang Fu read the letter from the capital, and the other party woke up with a helpless face: "Dehua, you are too sharp!"

Fang Xing knew what was going on without looking at it, he chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. Ru Xi, Your Majesty is so talented!"

Huang Fu was taken aback for a moment, then sighed and pointed at Fang Xing, "Why are you doing this?"

Fang Xing was smiling, but Huang Fu felt that he was facing a wolf with bared teeth.

"When I got to Jiaozhi, they didn't stop. If I swallowed my anger, Ru Xigong, believe it or not, this group of people will definitely make progress. Maybe someone will slander Fang for rebellion next time!"

"Why!"

Huang Fu knew that Fang Xing was not exaggerating, so he could only sigh.

"Dehua, let's not mention this matter for now, but you have to be careful that those wealthy families will make trouble!"

Fang Xing got up and said: "I know, so I mobilized more than a dozen of the most powerful families in one go. If the remaining people dare to make trouble, then I don't even need excuses, just kill them directly!"

Seeing Fang Xing going out with vigorous steps, Huang Fu could only mourn in silence for those wealthy families, and at the same time feel relieved for the ever-increasing wealth, food and grass in the warehouse.

Except for some of these supplies to be sent to Jinling, the rest will be at the disposal of him and Fang Xing.

It's a good day to have money and food!

"grown ups……"

When Fang Xing walked to the gate, he happened to meet Xiao Niang, and Xiao Niang followed the example of Daming women and said hello.

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Young lady is not bad, but you should pay attention to rest and don't tire yourself out."

Xiao Niang raised her head and saw that Fang Xing was already on the horse outside the door. She blinked her eyes and moved her lips a few times, but in the end nothing came out.
