In Anyi City, the Su family.
Su Binglin was in the study calculating the accounts collected in the past two days.
Among the big families in Anyi City, there were a total of thirty-eight families that came into Su Binglin's sight. Although some other small families, some businessmen, etc. have some power and influence, they have not entered Su Binglin's selection sight because there is no need to suppress small families.
Furthermore, in order to stabilize the situation, Cao Ji had massacred a large number of nobles and disposed of many people.
There can still be thirty-eight large families now, which is already the limit.
These families all have problems of one kind or another.
Su Binglin carefully calculated the accounts one by one. When he finished counting all the accounts, a smile appeared on his face.
Thirty-eight families all gave money.
Originally, the news given by Su Binglin was for two days for each major family to consider. Two days later, he would visit them one by one. However, these people came to visit one after another that night and took the initiative to express their willingness to support Qin.
The final result was that within two days, everyone came to visit and gave money.
The total money raised was 1.46 million taels of silver. Thirty-eight families have collected more than one million taels of silver, which may not be considered much. But having this money shows everyone's attitude towards Qin and their willingness to serve Qin.
Su Binglin also breathed a sigh of relief.
He had a general information on the situation of each major family. Although it is not particularly detailed, it is enough.
On the one hand, it is impossible for the major families to tell Su Binglin all their secrets unconditionally. Such a person is definitely a fool. On the other hand, Su Binglin also knew some information, so he just added it on his own.
Su Binglin continued to sort out the information and bound the book, then stopped staying and got up and left the Su family towards the military camp.
Su Binglin entered the army, came to Lin Feng's camp, and said directly: "Master Hou, all the money extorted by Gu Yuan from all the major families has been returned. There are thirty-eight families in Anyi City that need to be investigated. These are The family all has problems of one kind or another. They all expressed their willingness to change their past mistakes. At the same time, in order to support Da Qin, they voluntarily donated money, a total of 1.46 million taels of silver. All information has been recorded, please Lord Marquis, check it out."
As he spoke, he handed over the bound book.
One million four hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver were paid by the major families, which was actually not a small amount of money.
However, Su Binglin was still a little uneasy.
Let’s see how Lin Feng decides?
What if you are not satisfied?
Lin Feng took the book handed to him and took a rough look at the situation of several large families. All major families have many problems, but these people also gave money to each other. Some people gave one hundred thousand taels of silver, and some gave three to forty thousand taels of silver.
In the end, 1.46 million taels of silver were raised.
That's a lot of money.
You must know that when Cao Ji was here, millions of taels of silver were confiscated. This time, all the nine major families including Gu Yuan, Xiong Wencan and others had their homes confiscated, and a lot of money was confiscated from the nine major families. The big families in Anyi City were dealt with by Cao Ji and Lin Feng, and their wealth was nearly ten million taels of silver.
Many of the remaining families are no longer as good as before.
Therefore, Su Binglin raised more than one million taels of silver, which is already very good. If you really want to kill them all at once, you will face all kinds of troubles.
After weakening and suppressing, you still have to be gentle.
Lin Feng closed the documents and said in a deep voice: "Su Binglin, you did a good job this time. I am very satisfied that the major families are willing to help Da Qin. How did they act in Xia Kingdom before, and what crimes did they commit? I don't care about this, and Da Qin will forget about it."
"Today, when living under the rule of the Qin State, you must abide by the laws and regulations, do business as you should, do things as you should, and be an official as you should. If you continue to violate laws and disciplines, you will be killed without mercy. Under the laws of the Qin Dynasty, princes who break the law are guilty of the same crimes as common people and are disobedient. , all must be dealt with."
call! !
Su Binglin breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, mission accomplished.
Su Binglin said solemnly: "I will obey the Marquis's instructions. I will definitely notify everyone and make everyone abide by the law."
Lin Feng said: "It's a good thing that you have your heart set on Great Qin. Previously, Gu Yuan, Xiong Wencan and others had made great contributions. I gave Gu Yuan, Xiong Wencan and others opportunities and promised young talents from their family to serve in Xianyang, but they dismissed them. .Now, I will give your Su family a chance to go to Xianyang. Are you, the Su family, willing?"
"Yes, the Su family is willing."
Su Binglin suddenly became ecstatic.
Qin's destruction of Xia demonstrated Qin's absolute strength. It is true that the world is still a situation of disputes among various countries, but in the future, the strength of Great Qin will become stronger and stronger. It is a great thing that someone from the Su family can work in Xianyang.
This means that the Su family has got rid of their identity as businessmen and entered the officialdom. You must know that although the Su family was the royal merchant of the Xia Kingdom before, and although they had many connections in the Xia Kingdom, they were still businessmen.
This is looked down upon.
Su Binglin cupped his hands and said: "Master Hou, Su Binglin has nothing to repay for his great kindness. As long as Master Hou has something to ask, Su Binglin will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Lin Feng said seriously: "Doing business well is the foundation."
Su Binglin said: "Su Binglin will remember the Marquis's teachings. In addition, after I return, I will immediately arrange for someone to send a bunch of money to the army."
Lin Feng nodded and said: "Tell the other major families what I said and let them know."
"Here!"
Su Binglin bowed and bowed before retreating.
After Su Binglin retreated, Lin Feng took the book and went straight to the Chinese army's tent.
When he saw Bai Cejun, he handed over the book sent by Su Binglin and said with a smile: "Shuai Bai, Su Binglin investigated thirty-eight big families. The basic information of the big families is all in the book. Although some secrets are involved, I have never found out. .But there are so many, which is pretty good.”
"In addition, the thirty-eight major families each paid different amounts of money. The final result was a total donation of 1.46 million taels of silver to Da Qin. Later, Su Binglin would arrange for someone to send this money to the army. middle."
Bai Cejun took a rough look and nodded: "Lin Feng, it is good for each family to submit to the Qin State and pay money to show their support. However, we have to govern the Xia State, and I am also considering this matter, and I still have some concerns. .”
Lin Feng said: "What worries does Bai Shuai have?"
Bai Cejun said: "The major families live in Anyi, and their roots are here. Even if they cooperate with the Qin State, a few years or more than ten years later, when we leave, the Qin State arranges people to rule, and the subsequent The officials may be less capable or more greedy, so the big family is enough to take action.”
"Under this premise, the major families will come back to power again."
"They're going to take control of the place again."
Bai Cejun said: "The big family has too many resources and connections. They temporarily surrendered just because of the strength of the Qin State. In the future, with their influence and influence, they will continue to gain benefits for the family if they have the right to speak. It’s because of their stance.”
"Bai Cejun's question is very good. Lin Feng, what do you think we should do?"
A loud voice came from outside the big tent.
The curtain of the camp tent was lifted, and a tall and burly figure stepped in.
The person who came was obviously Ying Jiuxiao.
He led the team in a hurry and finally arrived at the army. The soldiers at the gate of the military camp wanted to report, but Ying Jiuxiao stopped him directly and led his people straight to the Chinese army's tent. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the camp, he heard Bai Cejun's words.
Ying Jiuxiao is also curious.
That's why Ying Jiuxiao asked.
