Chapter 506: The Dark Tide is Surging


The reason why Haoqiang is Haoqiang is because he occupies a large amount of land and uses it to attract others to take refuge.

After the Han Dynasty recovered, it was to redeem Haoqiang's land in order to reduce the number of Haoqiang's land holdings.

If the redemption of moderate means is useless, the iron-blooded means will be used.

The redemption of the land can only be said to be fair, at the cost of the newly issued copper coins of the Han Kingdom, and the copper coins of the Han Kingdom are based on the standard of five baht coins, and the upper and lower fields have their own value.

The redemption of the land of the people with copper coins is a part of the economic policy, that is, to let the copper coins of the Han Kingdom dredge up to the people and become the currency of the transaction.

The new money in the Central Plains was a long time ago, and the Sima family issued a batch after usurping the world, but the number was not much, resulting in the fact that the people still used copper coins in Cao Wei, Eastern Wu, Shu Han and even the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the variety was beyond imagination.

In fact, until the Two Song Dynasty, the number of copper coins used in private transactions was not large, and most of them were bartered, because the copper coins in circulation were simply not enough.

The circulation of copper coins in the two Song Dynasty is still insufficient, and the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty have repeatedly issued administrative orders by the central court to strictly prohibit the circulation of copper coins to the outside world.

People generally use barter to trade, and then use cloth as currency, so there is the word "wealth", and "silk" is the general name of silk fabrics, which is synonymous with wealth.

It is important to note that gold and silver are not circulating currencies.

Until the Li and Tang dynasties, gold only existed as an "equivalent thing", that is, how much weight of gold was worth and how much copper coins were not officially recognized, only nobles and wealthy families would use gold to make large transactions, and after obtaining gold, they would generally do everything possible to exchange it for copper coins.

The trading of silver can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, but it was not until the Ming Dynasty that it was officially recognized as a currency, so before the Ming Dynasty, people who saw that they wanted to pay with silver would be crossers nine times out of ten.

Everything is handled by people, and what kind of incident or person is encountered, everyone will have different handling standards, or enforce the law impartially, or it may also be private and public.

After Ji Chang left Liu Yan, he returned to his tent and saw that Sang Yu was waiting early.

"Tai'an."

Sang Yu sat in a kneeling position, straightened his waist, stretched his hands forward, and his fingers and palms became ninety degrees, a very big etiquette, and said: "Thank you Tai'an for relieving Yu." ” As a reaction, Ji Chang snorted coldly.

It has only been less than four years since the establishment of the Han State, but many interest groups with a few important ministers as the core have been established.

Although interest groups existed in the early days, they were generally still public interests, and only in some trivial matters would they fight for the interests of their own group.

Now that the Han army has compressed Shijie in Bingzhou and Shuozhou, the southern invasion of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty seems to be very smooth, and the national situation seems to be very good, so some people already think that they should think about their own interests "Zishen and General Zhengbei have a bad relationship because of the matter of Xingyang" Ji Chang came to Sang Yu and knelt down on his knees, and said with a compelling gaze: "There is still a degree to protect the door."

It is a national thief to abolish the public rule for private purposes. ” "Yu has no military power."

Sang Yu looked directly at Ji Chang and said, "Ran Min is the general in charge of the army. ” was a little unanswered, but Ji Chang was moved.

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

It is said that Ran Min is different, it is that the original Ran clan's Qin army still has sixty or seventy thousand soldiers in service, and some of Ran Min's old troops are also serving in several field regiments, and no one can say what kind of reaction Ran Min will have when he calls those people.

As the monarch of the Han State, Liu Yan did not obviously show his jealousy of Ran Min, after Ran Min took the Ran family Qin State to annex the whole country, although Liu Yan did not do anything to Ran Min to undress and push food, it can be said that Liu Yan still treated Ran Min unusually well.

Including Ji Chang, Sang Yu and other people who followed Liu Yan's rise to the end of Weimo in the early days, they guessed that Liu Yan valued Ran Min's military ability and treated him with a lot of favor, but some things could not be judged simply from the perspective of Liu Yan's appreciation of Ran Min's military talent, and found that there were other reasons, but they couldn't figure it out.

Because they can't understand it, one of the central ministers counts as one, whether it is selfish or loyal to the king, they have never relaxed when they can supervise Ran Min.

"Where the contradiction between Yu and General Zhengbei originated, Tai'an is not unaware."

Sang Yu was talking about arranging for those who followed Ran Min to join him, he smiled mockingly, and waited for Ji Chang to show a frowning expression before saying, "The matter of the Zheng family in Xingyang is indicated by Yu. ” Now there are no five surnames and seven wangs, and the Zheng family is really a family that can be assigned as a pawn at will for Sang Yu.

At present, there are actually no big families in the Central Plains, and the number one is probably the Wei County Sang clan where Sang Yu is located and the Boling Cui clan where Queen Cui Wan is located, and the rest Whether it is Ji Chang, Lu Yi, Cai You or whoever, they only have the foundation to become a family because they are in a high position, but they are not a family.

If you want to say that the family is noble, it is only in the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that the family is divided and ruled by the family, and the rest is probably the family situation on the side of the Zhang family Liangguo, and there is almost no arrogant qualification, let alone any capital such as "the daughter of the family is hard to find" in the Li Tang period.

In the early days, those families who did not have "well-dressed Nandu" were only better than ordinary people under the rule of the Hu people, and it was common for people in their families to be killed, and it was not uncommon for family women to be humiliated or even tortured and killed by the Hu people.

It can be said that the families who stayed in the Central Plains, they knew that the family women would be humiliated and tortured if they gave them to the Hu people, but they still kept sending them.

Among the many women rescued by the Han army, the number of women in the family is not a lot, some of them have perished, and some of the women whose families have not perished have been signaled not to return to the family, and they think they have some plans.

"General Zhengbei directly sent his troops to kill several members of the Zheng family's direct family, and the house was set on fire."

Sang Yu sneered: "If you talk about bear heart and leopard gall, Yu is not as good as General Zhengbei at all." ” Ji Chang asked: "Is there any evidence?"

"Human evidence can be counted" Sang Yu said but shook his head: "According to the Han law, the victim only relies on one word to corroborate, and it is not ironclad evidence. ” "It's true that the Zheng clan is not ironclad evidence."

Ji Chang probably understood what Sang Yu wanted to do, and said solemnly: "Zishen is doing what the court club is doing, and he wants to remind the king."

"In reality, Yu thinks that the private sector should hold more land."

Sang Yu probably wanted to be open and honest: "There are many capable people, and the truth has remained unchanged since ancient times, regardless of the family or the people."

Granting land with military merits can naturally enable more people to grant land, but those who can really have a large amount of land will still not be the people, who will be transformed into a noble family and seek to become a family. ” "The people have to be nobles, and with the title, they will naturally no longer be the people."

Ji Chang is a direct participant in the national policy, and Sang Yu is also the same, both know that the Han State will inevitably rise a new class.

He said: "People gather for profit, and the king does not exclude people from having factions, but he will not allow the use of private interests to abolish the public." ” Sang Yu is topic to the point, and after chatting, he stood up and said goodbye.

On the other side, Ran Min waited for Ji Chang to leave before asking for an audience, and he also met Liu Yan as he wished.

So the minister did so.

Ran Min was talking about what happened in Xingyang just now, and he didn't know what to think and didn't hide the fact that he sent his troops to kill people.

After he finished telling the story of Xingyang, he said with a grin: "It should be that the right prime minister has been offended." ” Liu Yan didn't know whether Ran Min was upright or what, and he could even tell the matter of sending his subordinates to kill people.

He thought about it, whether it is the Sima family in power or the Hu people in power, family disputes and murders only depend on whether there are victims to report to the official, many times it is actually useless to report to the official, it is the two sides of the conflict who rely on their own strength to fight for a victory, obviously Ran Min is exercising the rules of affairs with the old concept.

"According to the Han law, murder requires life."

Liu Yan's words really made Ran Min stunned.

He looked at Ran Min with a little headache, and said bluntly: "Offending Zishen is a private matter, and it cannot be generalized with violating the Han law, and it will always be understood."

Ran Min obviously didn't understand, he still looked at Liu Yan in a daze, and asked for a while: "That minister has violated the Han law."

Isn't it very clear that Liu Yan doesn't know, even if he knows that no one "goes up to heaven to listen" to sue Ran Min, he can pretend not to know, but Ran Min is good, and he confessed in person.

Ran Min asked again in a bit of confusion: "What should the minister do?"

This is not something that Liu Yan can directly say the answer, what is needed is for the Zheng family to report to the government, and the government will accept the lawsuit, investigate and collect evidence in accordance with the process, and directly make a judgment in accordance with the Han law.

If it is according to the Han law, those who kill people must be killing people to pay for their lives, and Ran Min, as the instigator, should cut down the lord and remove the official and fill the army.

Liu Yan asked Ran Min to leave, covering his forehead and smiling bitterly.

Han is a country that emphasizes the rule of law, but like any country, the law has its own process, and it is also enforced by people.

The common saying is that the law is the umbrella of the good and the plaything of some people.

In fact, the Qin State, which has a strong legal system, is not 100% governed by law, and 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, and finally asked in confusion: "What does the king mean?"

Liu Yi didn't let Ran Min wait long, and said: "If the right prime minister bites tightly, I'm afraid the king will urge him to deal with it according to the Han law." ” Ran Min's face was instantly cloudy, and his hands were clenched into fists.

"What is the lord thinking, how is it" Liu Yi was annoyed and amused, and said, "How could he personally go and say those words that are equivalent to confession to the king" "I think that if you don't hide it from the king, you won't let the right prime minister take advantage of it."

Ran Min still feels that he has done the right thing.

Confused, he said, "Isn't that so?"

Chinese history has always been a political system of "I am the state", that is, as long as the ruler allows it or does not hold it accountable, it does not matter who kills people and sets fires or even does more excessive things.

In this way, a phenomenon is formed, the law of the country is not as good as the ruler's Chrysostom, and if you can please the ruler, you can do whatever you want.

"Lord" Liu Yi kept smiling bitterly: "Naturally, the lord has done nothing wrong.

The king's absence of anger is the best statement. ” Ran Min didn't understand what Liu Yi meant.

"This matter can be big or small" Liu Yi understood Ran Min, and simply said bluntly: "For today's plan, the lord must find the right prime minister, and no matter what, he can't let the Zheng family sue the government." ” "Simple, destroy the Zheng family" Ran Min doesn't like to go around and around, even in the face of Sang Yu, who is the right prime minister, he doesn't want to be soft, and said murderously: "The whole door is destroyed, who will sue" Liu Yi directly covered his face and said almost like a moan: "The king already knows about this. ” At this time, Ran Min finally reacted, and said, "That's really not possible."

"My lord, the so-called big husband 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 bitterly: "The lord is the lord of a country first, and it is already a blessing to be trusted and reused by the king."

It is one thing for a king to trust, but it is impossible to say that there is no fear.

After all, compared to the rest of the generals, the lord has a large number of old departments."

"How can there be any old department, except for you and others, a certain has never been in contact" Ran Min wanted to say more, seeing that Liu Yi was about to cry, he hesitated again and again before gritting his teeth and said: "But big or small, right, then so-and-so will find Sang Yu, and the big deal is to leave the Zhang family at its disposal." ” In fact, Liu Yi has already cried, those of them who followed Ran Min in the early days all know his character, if he doesn't really can't live, and he sees that Ran Min is really brave and unparalleled, I really don't know if he will follow.

The Zhang family has already taken refuge in Ran Min, but now it is good, Ran Min doesn't want to wronged himself at all, he wants to treat the Zhang family as an abandoned son to Sang Yu, and he didn't expect that this would chill the rest of the people.

Liu Yi, who was crying in tears, was speechless and sat in place with a sluggish face.

When he came back to his senses, there was no longer Ran Min in the tent, and when he asked the tent guards, he learned that Ran Min went to find Sang Yu alone.

Prime Minister Zuo will let the family raise its head again in the open face in the court, thinking that it is to test the king's attitude.

Liu Yi stood up and walked back and forth in the tent, thinking: The right prime minister acted like this, I am afraid that it was because the southern invasion was very smooth Recently, there are really not too many families attached to the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there are almost channels and capable families who have sent their children to Xiangguo, using all kinds of means and methods, just to fish themselves ashore before the ship of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has not completely sunk
