Chapter 3261 I Don’t Have Anything, I Don’t Have Anything

Chapter 3260 I don’t have nothing. I don’t have nothing.

Chang'an.

Tian Yu, Kan Ze, Guan Ning, Wang Xiang and others attacked in stages, going to Fufeng on the right, Fengyi on the left, and Yin Jingzhao on the left, arresting the people on the list one by one and confiscating their property.

Webster was not the only one whose property was confiscated.

Of course, on the surface, everyone is implicated by Webster...

All of a sudden, it was in full swing.

After the old secrets of countless people were uncovered and the butt curtains were lifted, people suddenly realized that there were actually these famous houses in the red building, brothel, white building and black building!

Learned a lot!

For example, Yang Han, whose original name was Yang Qiu, was from Anding. He also led an army to cause trouble in Guanzhong when Li Guo was fighting for hegemony. After Li Guo's defeat, he sneaked into the mountains. Taking advantage of Fei's infiltration into Guanzhong, when the household registration was in disarray, he changed his job and became a village man. He bought and sold by force, colluded with the government, and oppressed the people.

Kong Gui, formerly known as Kong Gui, was born in Tianshui. He was acquainted with Yang Qiu and often colluded in the same place. There were many gaps with Cheng Yimawan and others. Therefore, after Cheng Yimawan was defeated and fled, Kong Gui and Yang Qiu settled in Youfufeng under the alias. Kong Gui pretended to be a merchant and made a lot of money from traveling to the Western Regions over the years.

As well as Li Jue and Guo Si’s relatives, tribesmen, generals, etc...

The reason why Li Jue and Guo Si became the candidates to govern after Dong Zhuo's death was not that Li Jue and Guo Si were the best at fighting, but because these two people had the most connections, so they were able to overpower the others. The general of Xiliang became the heir to Dong Zhuo's legacy. Even Dong Zhuo's son-in-law was not a competitor between the two.

After the deaths of Li Jue and Guo Si, only a small number of these households related to Li Guo died in the battle. Some of the others fled to other places without a trace, while others changed their names and stayed incognito. After all, during Dong Zhuo and Li Guo's stay in Chang'an, , the entire government of the Han Dynasty was in chaos. It was completely normal to modify any household registration, or even to have no household registration at all.

In many places, the original population has either been killed or fled due to wars. After these people are brought back to life, it is impossible for Fei Qian, who has just arrived in Chang'an, to immediately verify the identities of these people as long as there are people who can serve as circumstantial evidence...

These people naturally delayed and survived.

And these guys who became anonymous after Dong Zhuo and Li Guo, although they are also the key targets of this attack, are not an order of magnitude worse than those gentry and squires who have been in Guanzhong all year round.

After China moved from a military polity to a manor polity, it was trapped in this political and economic model for a long time. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that some scholar-bureaucrats and gentry representatives governed the country. The government was a sign of the monarch's mascot, but it was not finalized, and was dragged again by natural disasters and man-made disasters into a more barbaric slave-nomadic structure of politics.

In China's dynasty, which was mainly based on farming, it was still basically a society of nobles and nobles, but within the entire politics, they were also fighting against each other. In the beginning, it was just the struggle between Guanzhong and Guandong, that is, the gentry of Shanxi and Shandong. If this was the case, the seesaw balance would always be broken one day. However, in the subsequent dynasties of the Chinese farming model, another political group appeared. …

"Jiangnan Gentlemen"!

Therefore, behind the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that many people in later generations are familiar with, how many people can realize that this is actually the prototype of the tripartite noble clans.

The triangle is the most stable form, so these three political forces have dominated the Chinese dynasty for hundreds of years, delaying China's steps to go further. They are like three huge shackles on the Chinese giant. Even to later generations there are still some indelible imprints.

"Guanlong nobles", "Shandong nobles" and "Jiangnan nobles" are relatively weak externally. They are indeed strong in territorial defense, but weak in expansion. They suppress the people internally very seriously. They control the expansion and dissemination of effective knowledge and consciously delete scriptures. That part of being able to teach yourself...

Of course, in the current Han Dynasty, the "Jiangnan gentry", or Jiangdong, was not very popular, but it was obvious in history that it would become a latecomer, and now the "Guanlong gentry" was extremely powerful from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. , it will explode to its final potential in these hundreds of years, and then gradually decline.

The dispute between Shandong and Shanxi was the main line of political struggle from the Spring and Autumn Period to the late Tang Dynasty.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin State located in Guanzhong was in opposition to the Six Kingdoms of Shandong. The Six Kingdoms regarded themselves as Chinese orthodox. The Kwantung Allied Forces attacked Hangu Pass many times to destroy the Qin State in Guanzhong. In the end, Qin was defeated. The army eliminated the Shandong nobles and unified China.

By the Han Dynasty, the central court was located in Chang'an City in Guanzhong, but the old forces in Guandong were still very powerful. Many of the old aristocrats left over from the Six Kingdoms had evolved into local tyrants. There were many "local snakes" who were not convinced by the central court. Qin Shihuang and Han Gaozu They all moved the wealthy families from Guandong to Guanzhong in large numbers to supervise them and prevent rebellion.

Some of these relocated Shandong nobles and nobles gradually considered themselves Guanzhong people in the process of settling in Guanzhong for a long time, but there were still many who still missed Shandong and tried to return to the embrace of the warm Shandong family.

For example, Fan.

The Fan family does not seem to be very famous in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but in fact the Fan family was already a huge family in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Fan family was one of the three major surnames in the Spring and Autumn Period of Jin.

Therefore, the Fan family can actually be found all over China. There is the Fan family in Nanyang, Hedong, and Guanzhong.

The Fan family in Nanyang is more famous because of Fan Pang. This guy is one of the famous scholars in the late Han Dynasty. He and Guo Tai and others form the "Eight Gu". If he and Liu Biao and others form the "Eight Friends" or "Eight Jun"... Hmm, why does it feel like some kind of deck of parts...

The Fan family in Hedong has been confiscated and exterminated.

But who would have thought that the Fan family in Hedong and the Fan family in Guanzhong are actually involved?

As for the Fan family in Guanzhong, they are not as famous as Fan Pang, but compared with the Fan family in Hedong, the Fan family in Guanzhong is obviously fatter.

Now in the Fan Mansion, Fan Ling is just sitting there restlessly.

In the past, the Fan Mansion was always bustling with people coming and going, but now the atmosphere in the mansion is dull. Whether it is the Fan family members or ordinary servants, everyone looks uneasy, as if they are facing a disaster.

In the study, Fan Ling sat decadently, his body shape was uneasy.

On the table next to Fan Ling, there was something that shouldn't have been there...

Fan's ancestral tablet.

Fan Ling's originally fat body now curled up into a ball, kneeling under the tablet, as if this would give him a sense of security. His face was shiny, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead from time to time. He muttered something in his mouth, and it was unknown what he was praying for.

These days, he looked like he was ten years older than before, his beard and hair had turned gray, and there seemed to be a lot more wrinkles on his face.

Since the Wei family got into trouble, Fan Ling locked himself in the study, calculating all the connections with the Wei family, but the more he calculated, the more frightened he became...

Over and over again, he kept thinking about one question, why did it happen?

Isn't it said that the dynasty lasted for a hundred years and the family lasted for a thousand years?

Why did the Wei family fall like this?

Things are developing too fast...

Wei Duan was arrested, and then the Wei family manor was raided. Then, someone inexplicably stirred up trouble and openly attacked the official residence of the cavalry. It just so happened that Fei Zhen and Pang Tong arrived with the cavalry!

The whole incident must have been caused by someone!

But Wei Duan of the Wei family was put on trial in the Qinglong Temple!

What's more terrifying is that Wei Duan actually started to bite at the last moment...

Everything is like dominoes, falling one after another, without any chance of rescue. You can only watch the collapse complete, or the dominoes themselves are arranged incorrectly in the middle.

It's too fast, too fast!

When Fan Ling thought of the houses, shops, and lands of the Wei family, all of which became the spoils of the cavalry, his heartbeat quickened and he was terrified. There are also many managers and clansmen of the Wei family, who have all been arrested, right?

Did Wei Duan give Fan Ling away?

Have those Wei family managers and clansmen been involved in this?

But he couldn't go and find out who was involved and who was not on the list.

Yesterday, there was news that Kong Gui was arrested. It was said that Kong Gui was actually Kong Gui, who had changed his name and surname and worked as a merchant for a long time...

If such a person could be found, who would be the next one?

Would it be his turn, or his family's turn?

Fan Ling smiled bitterly.

The Wei family, which he thought would never fall, fell, so what else was impossible?

The Fan family and the Wei family, as well as some people in the Western Qiang, were too closely connected!

As early as the Western Qiang Rebellion, Fan Ling had secret trade exchanges with the Qiang people, and made a lot of money, which was then distributed to other nobles and powerful people, forming a huge network of interests.

Wei is one of the most important nodes, and now this node is in the hands of the cavalry, and they are following the clues...

Originally, this network was tough enough. After all, all the people in the network would protect each other and cover up for each other, just like lettuce leaves covering meat slices. As long as you can't see it from above, and there is sweet bean sauce and mayonnaise below, you can't tell what's going on. Everything is very stable, harmonious and friendly.

If one of the families has a problem, the other families will unite to make up for it. There is no need for any special teaching in politics. Many family children will know it when they are born. After all, the laws of the Han Dynasty require relatives to hide their relatives!

But now this network is corrupted too quickly, resulting in no time for each other to do anything!

And the more at such a time, the more conspicuous anyone will be!

At the same time, people often step on the weak and praise the strong, but rarely help others in times of need. Seeing that the Wei family fell, the Fan family might be implicated, and immediately some people began to scold the Fan family as profiteers, bringing disaster to the country and the people, and everyone should be punished...

Fan Ling sent people to secretly contact some friends, but unfortunately, his "friends" either directly avoided him as if they were avoiding disaster and didn't even see him, or they themselves were already busy with their own affairs.

Fan Ling knelt down devoutly in front of his ancestral tablet and prayed...

Then he heard a faint shout of "Million Victory" coming from a distance.

Fan Ling's body shook violently, and then he wanted to stand up, but because his legs and feet were weak, he bumped into the table in front of him.

The tablet of the ancestor of the Fan family on the table shook a few times, and then fell on the edge of Fan Ling's palm!

"Bang!"

The tablet fell dully on the ground, breaking into two pieces, with the tablet and the base falling to one side...

Fan Ling stared at the tablet that had been broken into two parts, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, trembling like a bird falling into an ice cave.

…

…

It was Guan Ning who led the troops to raid Fan's mansion.

Although Guan Ning came from a well-known family and was said to be a descendant of Guan Zhong, Guan Ning himself was very poor. When his father died, he didn't even have enough funeral expenses...

Well, yes, life is not easy, and death is also not easy. If you don’t have money, you can’t even die. This is not a custom only in later generations, but has existed since the Han Dynasty.

Four hundred years of loyalty and filial piety!

At that time, Guan Ning's relatives wanted to help Guan Ning with some funeral expenses, but Guan Ning refused. On the one hand, Guan Ning does not want to owe a favor, on the other hand, he feels that extravagant funerals are not a good custom.

For Guan Ning, his daily life is relatively frugal. Even when he went to Guanzhong and served as an official under the Hussar, he still had very high requirements for himself. He did not spend money recklessly and did not pursue extravagant things.

But when Guan Ning arrived in front of the Fan Mansion, he was still surprised. Even though he had thought about the extravagance of the Fan Mansion before arriving, the scene in front of him still exceeded his imagination.

There is a huge mansion in front of me. I don’t know how many people are in and out. I just know that when I look from the gate to both sides, I feel like I can’t see my head...

Is this still a mansion?

The manor is nothing more than that!

There are sapphire stone steps in front of the door, and the red lacquer door is inlaid with copper nails.

The eaves are covered with glazed tiles, and the tiles are also painted with gold...

"The people are fat and the people are anointed..." Guan Ning didn't know why, but he felt anger burning in his heart, "There are people in Guanzhong, and they only cost a few dollars a day!" This... this Fan family... these are all the flesh and blood of the common people! 』

The inspector on the side also nodded and said with emotion: "In the countryside, it is common to see people with no food or clothing in the cold winter, and they are reluctant to use coal to keep out the cold... Fan's bricks and tiles, Haha, I'm afraid just one piece is enough for ordinary people to keep out the cold all winter! 』

For Guan Ning and the inspector, they may not know what the Gini index is, but they can understand the meaning of what they are seeing. This real gap between rich and poor is far more glaring than the official index that never changes.

"Someone is coming!" Break the door! Guan Ning shouted angrily, "I was ordered to search for the same criminals!" Those who stand in the way will be killed without mercy! 』

The hussar soldiers and inspectors rushed forward. Fan's servants at the door were quickly killed and dispersed. The closed door was knocked open, and the soldiers rushed into Fan's mansion...

After breaking open the door, the servants in the Fan Mansion could no longer resist. Those who dared to hold weapons were killed on the spot. Those who knelt down and surrendered could still save their lives. Many servants immediately forgot their previous oath of allegiance and knelt on the ground without even daring to raise their heads. Then the hussars and inspectors searched the houses and picked out the Fan clan members one by one. They cried and screamed and brought them to the front yard to gather. Men, women, old and young were densely packed, and more and more people gathered.

Soon after, Fan Ling, who was trying to escape, was captured by the hussar soldiers in a secret passage and dragged to Guan Ning, which immediately caused the Fan clan members to cry louder.

"The husband, the people, and the wealth are the blood of the country." 』

Guan Ning said in a deep voice, "Since Qiaoqi entered Guanzhong, he has always put the people first and wealth first!" As the saying goes, if people have no wealth, how can they support their families? If the country has no wealth, how can it raise troops and prepare for war? Therefore, the importance of people's wealth should not be ignored! 』

"There is a saying in Li, "When wealth gathers, the people disperse, and when wealth disperses, the people gather together. Therefore, if the words go out contrary to the words, they will also come in contrary to the words, and if the goods go in contrary to the words, they will also go out contrary to the words." Fan should have been The people in the countryside have all their thoughts and concerns, and what they have raised and continued, but now everything is contrary to what they say, and it is useless to harm the people! 』

"People are worried about their health, and prices are soaring." But Fan didn't know why, so he arbitrarily amassed people's wealth! Hussar reduced taxes and simplified collection, so that the people had more money to live and die. We should also expand our territory, develop agriculture and mulberry trees, and develop industry and commerce, so as to increase the national needs and the people's wealth! But I don't expect Fan to be stuck in the middle and exploited at every level. Who knows, the wealth of the people is not only the wealth of the country, but also the wealth of the whole world! 』

"Master Fan, what else do you have to say?" 』

Guan Ning himself is a gentleman, so he also hopes that people around him can understand the truth and know what is right and wrong, so he tries his best to express what is right and what is wrong. He wants to explain Fan's problem, hoping to There are more people who understand the truth of things rather than relying on the fear of killing to make people surrender.

Guan Ning undoubtedly agreed very much with Hussar's strategy of governing the country.

As the saying goes, when wealth gathers people disperse, wealth disperses and people gather.

If wealth is excessively concentrated in the hands of a few people, it will inevitably lead to the expansion of the gap between the rich and the poor and the intensification of social conflicts.

The greater the wealth gap, the lower the trust of the upper class will become worse and worse. The division and trust crisis between the upper and lower classes will further have a huge impact on economic development. Eventually, the economic development situation will continue to deteriorate, and the entire country will become resentful. People's morale is unstable.

In the final evolution, few people can survive alone.

Even those bureaucrats who feel that they can be officials anywhere, or the local squires in counties and counties.

Just like before the Han Dynasty, there were many gentry and gentry, especially the group of people in Shandong. They felt that what happened to the Yellow Turban Rebellion of the Han Dynasty, and what happened to Dong Zhuo and Li Guo for causing trouble in Guanzhong. They could still travel around the mountains and rivers, eat and drink at ease. Looking for flowers and willows?

But what about now?

War is sweeping across, involving everyone who previously thought they could stay out of it!

It's just a pity that Fan Ling obviously didn't accept Guan Ning's kindness.

Fan Ling cried, "I'm wronged! I'm wronged! Don't look at how beautiful my house looks from the outside, but actually I don't have any money! Really no money! If you don't believe me, I'll open the warehouse to show you! Really no, really no money... I don't have no money at all! '

A moment later, the cavalry soldier who went to the backyard to search the Fan family's warehouse came back with a frown and reported: "In the warehouse, there are only old corn, a small amount of cotton and linen cloth, and a few copper and silver coins... No other treasures were found..."

Fan Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction, and he cried out like June snow.

Guan Ning couldn't help but doubt it. Could it be that as Fan Ling said, the Fan family is now just a dung beetle with a shiny surface?

Is there anything missing?

Guan Ning frowned and thought...
