Sweep the World

Haoqiang is so powerful because it owns a lot of land and uses it to attract other people's refuge. In addition to land, clan dingkou and contacts are also the key to becoming powerful. The larger the clan population, the prosperity, and the stronger the contacts, the easier it is to gather people in trouble.

After the restoration of the land of Han, the foreclosure of the tyrannical land was carried out in order to reduce the number of tyrannical land holdings. If gentle means of redemption are useless, iron-blooded means will naturally be used. The redemption of the land can only be said to be fair, at the cost of the new copper coins issued by Han, and the copper coins of Han are based on the standard of five baht, and each has value in the upper field and the lower field.

The redemption of powerful private land with copper money is part of the economic policy, that is, letting the copper money of the Han country be unblocked to the private sector and become a transaction currency.

The original new money in China was a long time ago. After the Sima family usurped the world, they issued a batch, but the number was not large. As a result, the people still used the copper coins of the Cao Wei, Dongwu, Shuhan and even the Eastern Han Dynasty. beyond imagination.

In fact, until the Song Dynasty, the number of copper coins used in private transactions was not large, and the majority of them were bartering. The reason was that the circulating copper coins were simply not enough. The circulation of copper coins in the two Song dynasties is still insufficient. In the Northern Song and Southern Song dynasties, the central court has issued administrative orders on many occasions. This is why the circulation of copper coins is strictly prohibited.

Folks generally trade in the form of bartering, and then use cloth as currency, and then the word "wealth" came into being, and "silk" is the general term for silk fabrics, which is synonymous with wealth.

It must be noted that gold and silver are not currency in circulation. Until the Li-Tang period, gold only existed as an "equivalent object", that is, how much gold is worth and how much copper is not officially recognized. Only nobles and wealthy families will use gold for large-scale transactions. After the gold is obtained Generally, they will do everything possible to exchange them for copper coins. The earliest silver transaction can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, but it was not officially recognized as currency until the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, people who had to pay with silver before the Ming Dynasty would be a traverser in all likelihood.

Anything is handled by human beings. Everyone will have different handling standards for what kind of incidents or people they encounter.

After Ji Chang left Liu Yan, he returned to his tent and saw that Sang Yu had been waiting long ago.

"Taian." Sang Yu stood up on his knees, stretched his waist up, and stretched his hands forward, his fingers and palms became ninety degrees, a very big etiquette, "Thank you Tai'an for helping Yu."

In response, Ji Chang let out a cold snort.

Han was established in less than four years, but many interest groups with several important ministers at the core have been established. Although interest groups existed in the early days, they were generally based on public interest. Only in trivial matters would they compete for the interests of their own group.

Now that the Han army has compressed Shijie in Bingzhou and Shuozhou, the invasion of the small imperial court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty seems to be very smooth, and the state of the country seems to be very good, so some people already think that they should think about their own interests?

"Zi Shen and General Zhengbei are in a bad relationship because of Xingyang?" Ji Chang came to Sang Yu and sat down on his knees, his eyes forced to say: "There is still a degree under the asylum. It is a national thief if he is private and invalid."

"Yu has no military power." Sang Yu looked at Ji Chang directly and said, "Ran Min is the general in charge of soldiers."

A bit of an unanswered question, but Ji Chang was moved.

There are not many people in the Han State who have military power. Even if they have military power, they will be instantly lost because of Liu Yan's order. Ran Min's situation is different.

It was said that Ran Min was different. It was the original Ran's Qin army who still had 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers on duty. Some of Ran Min's old divisions also served in several field corps. No one knows how Ran Min would respond to those people who called on him.

As the monarch of the Han Kingdom, Liu Yan did not show any obvious jealousy towards Ran Min. After Ran Min brought Ran's family back to the Qin State, although Liu Yan didn't do anything to get rid of Ran Min, he can say Liu Yan. Yan still treats Ran Min exceptionally.

Including Ji Chang, Sang Yu, and others who followed Liu Yan in the early days of Weiwei, they guessed that Liu Yan valued Ran Min’s military abilities and treated him a lot. There were some things that couldn’t be purely because Liu Yan appreciated Ran Min’s military abilities. Judging from an angle, I found that there were other reasons, but I couldn't figure it out.

Because they couldn't understand, one of the central officials counted as one. Whether they were selfish or loyal to the king's affairs, they never relaxed when they were able to supervise Ran Min.

"Where did the conflict between General Yu and Zhengbei originate? Taian didn't know." Sang Yu was talking about arranging those who followed Ran Min to join him. He smiled mockingly, waiting for Ji Chang to show his frown. Said: "Xingyang Zheng's family affairs, it is Yu signaled."

Now there are no five surnames and seven hopes. To Sang Yu, the Zheng family is really a family that can be assigned as a **** at will. At present, there is actually no big family in the Central Plains. The number one is probably the Sang family of Wei County where Sang Yu is located, and the Cui family of Boring where Queen Cui Wan is located. The rest are either Ji Chang, Lu Yi, Cai You or whoever they are. It is because of being in a high position to have the foundation to become a family, but it is not considered a family.

To say that the dignity of the aristocratic family is only the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was divided and ruled by the aristocratic family. The rest is probably the aristocratic family on the Zhang family's Liangguo. The situation is better. Besides that, there is almost no arrogant qualification, let alone the Li Tang period. What kind of capital is "hard to find a daughter of a family".

In the early days, those aristocratic families that were not "clothed for the Southern Crossing" were only better than ordinary people under the rule of Hu people. It was common for their families to be killed, and it was not an exception for family girls to be abused or even tortured by Hu people. . It can be said that the aristocratic families who stayed in the Central Plains knew that they would be humiliated and tortured when the family girl gave it to the Hu, but they still kept sending it.

Among the many women rescued by the Han army, the number of women from the family is not large. Some of them have already died, and some women whose families have not perished have been signaled not to return to their families.

"General Zhengbei sent a tribe to kill the people of the Zheng family's direct clans, and the house was set on fire." Sang Yu sneered: "If you say that you are a bearish person, Yu is not as good as General Zhengbei."

Ji Chang asked: "Can there be evidence?"

"Can the testimony be counted?" Sang Yu said, but shook his head: "According to the Han law, the victim can only use one word as evidence, not iron evidence."

"It's just a member of the Zheng clan...it's really not iron proof." Ji Chang probably understood what Sang Yu really wanted to do, and said solemnly: "The son is deeper than the court, is it to remind the king?"

"Practically speaking, Yu thinks that the people should hold more land." Sang Yu probably wanted to be honest and honest: "Those who have the ability get more. The principle has not changed since ancient times, regardless of the family or the common people. Grant the land with military merits. Naturally, more people can be granted land, but those who can truly have a large amount of land will still not be the people, but they will turn from the people into the noble family, seeking to become a family."

"The people are nobles, and with the title, they will no longer be the people." Ji Chang is a direct participant in national policy, and so is Sang Yu, who knows that a new class will rise in Han. He said: "People gather for profit, and the king does not exclude people from factions, but he will not allow private abolishment of public affairs."

Sang Yu was the subject of the topic until the end, stood up and said goodbye.

On the other side, Ran Min had been waiting for Ji Chang to leave before asking to see him. He also met Liu Yan as he wished.

"..., so the minister did this." Ran Min was talking about what happened in Xingyang just now. He didn't know what he thought and didn't conceal the fact that he sent a trilogy to kill people. After he finished talking about Xing Yang, he grinned and said: "It should have offended Prime Minister Right."

Liu Yan didn't know if Ran Min was upright or what, he could even tell the matter of sending a trilogy to kill. He then thought about it, whether the Sima family is in power or the gangsters are in power, family disputes and killings only depend on whether there is a victim to report to the official. In many cases, the reporter is actually useless. Both parties in the conflict rely on their own strength to fight for one. Winning or losing, obviously Ran Min is using the old concept to exercise the rules of affairs.

"According to the Han law, murder requires life." Liu Yan's words really made Ran Min stunned. He looked at Ran Min with a headache, and said frankly: "Offending a son is a private matter, and it cannot be the same as violating the laws of Han. Will you ever understand?"

"..." Ran Min clearly didn't understand, he still looked at Liu Yan blankly, and then asked for a while: "Then...Is the minister violated the Han law?"

Isn't it something that is very clear? It's fine for Liu Yan not to know, even if he knows that no one "goes up to the sky" to sue Ran Min, he can pretend not to know. In the end, Ran Min was fine, and he personally confessed that he didn't know.

Ran Min asked again in a daze, "What should the minister... do?"

This is not a matter for Liu Yan to directly say the answer. What is needed is that the Zheng family report to the government, the government accepts the lawsuit, investigates and collects evidence in accordance with the procedures, and directly makes judgments in accordance with the Han law.

If according to the Han law, those murderous trilogy must be murder for life, and Ran Min as the instigator should be cut off from the ranks and dismissed from office.

Liu Yan told Ran Min to leave, holding his forehead and constantly smiling bitterly.

Han is a country that emphasizes the legal system, but like any country, the law has its own procedures and is also enforced by people. The usual way of saying the law is that the law is the umbrella of the good, and it is also the plaything of some people. Qin State, which has a strong legal system, is not 100% governing the country according to the law. There is still room for artificial law enforcement.

Ran Min returned to his tent and told his retainer Liu Yi about the meeting with Liu Yan. Finally, he asked in confusion, "What does the king mean?"

Liu Yi didn't make Ran Min wait long, and said: "If the Prime Minister is holding on, I am afraid that the king will urge Yi Han to deal with it."

Ran Min's face was overcast for an instant, and his hands were clenched into fists.

"What the **** is the lord thinking, how...what..." Liu Yi was angry and funny, and said, "Why would he go to the king himself to say things that are equivalent to confession?"

"A certain thinks that if you don't conceal the king, you won't let Prime Minister You have a chance." Even now, Ran Min still feels that he has done it right. He was very confused and said, "Isn't that the case?"

The history of China has always been a political system of "I am the country", that is, as long as the ruler allows or does not pursue it, it doesn't matter who kills, sets fire or even does more excessive things. In this way, a phenomenon is formed. The national law is not as good as the golden mouth of the ruler. If you can win the favor of the ruler, you can do whatever you want.

"Lord!" Liu Yi kept smiling bitterly: "Naturally, the lord did nothing wrong. If the king did not get angry, it would be the best way to express his attitude."

Ran Min didn't understand what Liu Yi meant.

"This matter can be big or small!" Liu Yi understood Ran Min and said straightforwardly: "For today's plan, the lord must find the Prime Minister Right, and in any case, the Zheng family cannot be allowed to sue the government."

"Simple, destroy the Zheng family's full house!" Ran Min doesn't like going around, even when facing Sang Yu, who is the right prime minister, he doesn't want to be softened, and said murderously: "Every family is destroyed, who will sue?"

Liu Yi directly covered his face, almost groaning and said: "The king already knows about this."

At this time, Ran Min finally reacted, and said: "That really can't..."

"Lord, the so-called big man is able to stretch and bend." Liu Yi wanted to remind him before. In order to let Ran Min know the seriousness of the matter, he repeated "this matter can be big or small" several times, and then persuaded him: "Lord first As the lord of a country, it’s a blessing to be trusted and reused by the lord. The lord’s trust is one thing, but it is impossible to say that there is no fear. After all, compared with the other generals, the lord has a large number of old ministries!"

"Where is the old department? Except for you, a certain person has never been in contact..." Ran Min wanted to say again~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Seeing Liu Yi was almost crying, hesitated again and again before gritting his teeth: Isn't it? Then so-and-so went to Sang Yu, and the big deal is to let the Zhang family deal with it."

In fact, Liu Yi was already crying. Those of them who followed Ran Min in the early days all knew his character. If it were not that he could not survive, it was because Ran Min was really brave and unparalleled, and I really didn't know if he would follow him.

The Zhang family has already turned to Ran Min, but now it's better. Ran Min didn't want to wrong himself at all. In case of trouble, he wanted to treat the Zhang family as an abandoned son to vent his anger to Sang Yu. He didn't expect that this would chill the rest of the people who belonged to him.

Liu Yi, who was crying with tears, had no more words, and sat on the spot with a dull expression on his face. When he came back to his senses, Ran Min was no longer in the tent, and he asked the guard of the tent to find that Ran Min had gone to find Sang Yu alone.

[Zuo Prime Minister Yu Chao will let the aristocratic family look up again, trying to test the king's attitude. ] Liu Yi stood up and walked back and forth in the tent, thinking: [Prime Minister Right did this, maybe it was because the invasion of the South went smoothly? 】

Recently, there are not too many aristocratic families that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty attached to the list. It is almost that families with channels and capabilities have sent their children to Xiangguo, using various methods and methods, just want to take advantage of the small family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Before the ship sank completely, he fished himself ashore.
