After the public trial was completed, Jia Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to the county government, Jia Huan wrote the results of today's trial into a memorial and reported it to Emperor Chongkang.
Next, he still has to be busy.
The women and children of the Cao and Song families need to be punished, and the entire Bai family also needs to be punished.
These alone are enough to keep him busy for several days.
And next, he will cut the knot quickly and collect the autumn tax as soon as possible.
That's the point.
After thinking about it, Jia Huan first sent someone to find Lu Liu.
Not long after, Lu Liu arrived.
"I'm going to pay my respects to the county magistrate."
Jia Huan said: "No need to be polite, Lu Liu, you are the official history of Ping'an County. Now, we in Ping'an County do not have the county captain and the chief registrar. Therefore, I want you to assume the responsibilities of the county captain and the chief registrar first, and maybe competent?"
Dianshi was a non-official civil servant, but when the county magistrate, chief secretary and other positions were consolidated, his duties were concurrently performed by Dianshi. Therefore, the positions of classics and history are all selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and appointed by the emperor with approval, and they are classified as "officials of the imperial court."
Therefore, it is reasonable, reasonable and legal for Lu Liu to concurrently serve as county captain and chief registrar.
And through this period of cold observation, Jia Huan discovered that Lu Liu's ability was quite good, and he was not of the same mind as those from the aristocratic family.
Therefore, Jia Huan would like to reuse Lu Liu.
After hearing what Jia Huan said, Lu Liu couldn't help but be overjoyed.
This No. 1 scholar who won six yuan in a row was indeed extraordinary and decisive in killing.
Unexpectedly, the three families of Cao, Bai and Song were captured without making a sound.
If you follow him, as long as you get things done, you might be able to secure the position of county captain.
If so, he would be soaring into the sky!
Thinking of this, Lu Liu hurriedly said: "Sir, I am qualified for the job. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will do my best to cooperate with you and live up to your trust."
Well, yes, this Lu Liu is pretty good.
Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Okay, go down and work hard. If you do well, I will not treat you badly."
Lu Liu immediately said happily: "Thank you for your appreciation, sir!"
After Lu Liu went down, Jia Huan ordered someone to call Xing Xing.
"I'm going to pay my respects to the county magistrate."
Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Captain Xing, I wonder if the workshop where Cao and Song are cooperating can be captured?"
Xing Xing said hurriedly: "The official is preparing to report the matter to your Excellency. All the people in that workshop have been captured."
"In their workshops, they are still making forbidden crossbows. It shows that the Cao and Song families really have the intention to rebel."
This Xing Baotou is also a local snake.
Originally, he was relatively close to the chief secretary, Song Wen.
However, this Mr. Xing was very smooth in his conduct.
After Jia Huan came to serve as the county magistrate, he strictly implemented all Jia Huan's orders without any discount.
But if you say how much he respects Jia Huan, he doesn't.
This is probably a person who is ready to settle down in the workplace. He is already very satisfied with his job as a boss and has no ambition to be more motivated.
But now, Capt. Xing is really afraid of the new county magistrate.
This new county magistrate is definitely a ruthless person!
Those were the three major aristocratic families in Ping'an County, the Cao family, the Bai family, and the Song family, and they were eliminated by the new county magistrate without a word.
Therefore, at this time, Xing Baotou was very respectful and obedient in front of Jia Huan.
Seeing Capt. Xing's attitude, Jia Huan was also quite satisfied.
He couldn't help but say: "Captain Xing, it will be a troubled time in Ping'an County for some time to come!"
"During this period, I hope Mr. Xing will not slack off, and he must keep a close eye on his subordinates to prevent any trouble from happening in Ping'an County."
"After this incident is over, I will ask for credit for you, and you will be rewarded when the time comes."
After hearing Jia Huan's words, Xing Baotou hurriedly said: "Please don't worry, sir. I guarantee that no one among you will dare to be lazy!"
This guy is still tactful.
He only guaranteed that no one would dare to be lazy, but he did not guarantee that there would be no trouble.
Jia Huan didn't bother to pay any attention to him, so he waved his hand and pushed him away.
…
On the second day, Jia Huan became busy and was trying the women and children of the Cao family and the Song family.
At this moment, the heads of the fourteen families outside came together to ask for a meeting.
After receiving the information, Jia Huan couldn't help but smile.
Yesterday, all three major families were confiscated, and all direct descendants of the Cao family and Song family were beheaded. In addition, the Cao and Song families were secretly preparing to destroy eight of them.
This news must have made everyone in the fourteenth family panic.
So I couldn't wait to rush over today.
Jia Huan ordered people to invite all fourteen family heads in.
After everyone was seated, Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "Things have been busy these past two days, and all the people in the county government have been sent out."
"As a result, the tea was not served. I hope you will forgive me for being disrespectful."
The fourteen heads of the family hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is responsible for all kinds of things every day, and he is very busy with paperwork, which makes us admire him. We have all come here after drinking tea, so there is no need for you to trouble yourself, Lord Magistrate."
Jia Huan smiled and said, "That's good. I wonder why you all came here together?"
Jia Huan was very busy and was too lazy to deal with them for half a day before getting to the point.
So he simply got straight to the point and asked about the business directly.
The fourteen family heads hurriedly said: "Sir, it's like this. We want to invest in the four-wheel carriage workshop. What are the conditions?"
Um!
Those who know the current affairs are heroes, but these people are some people who know the current affairs.
Originally, Jia Huan thought that implementing the new law would take a lot of trouble.
I didn't expect it to be resolved so quickly.
However, this was also thanks to the divine assistance of the Cao family and the Song family. If not for their vicious methods, they would have even killed seven or eight aristocratic families to resist the new law.
He wouldn't scare the heads of these fourteen families into this.
You can make money by cooperating with yourself, but by cooperating with those old yinbi who are above the court, you may end up confiscating your home and exterminating your family.
The choice of whom to cooperate with must not be difficult to make.
Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "If you want to invest in the carriage workshop, you need to agree to four conditions."
"The first condition and the most important point is that each of your families must report the number of acres of land you own. And pay this year's taxes in full. By the way, the land of Cao and Song will also be divided. To each of your families.”
"As for how to distribute it, you can decide for yourself, but the number of acres must not be different. If anyone dares to conceal the report, then don't blame me for turning against you."
"The second condition is that each company that buys shares needs to pay a one-time cost of one hundred thousand taels of silver. Currently, four-wheeled carriages receive a huge number of orders. The carriage workshop needs to expand its scale to supply orders. And these all require costs. .”
"The third point is to distribute dividends once a year. And each of you can check the accounts of the carriage workshop."
"The fourth point is that you only have the power to distribute dividends, but you are not allowed to interfere in the production and management of the carriage workshop."
