The cases in Guanzhong are progressing very quickly. As more and more trials are conducted, more and more weird things happen.
For example, one of the brothels confessed that there was a man who liked to molest children. Moreover, he was an official in his fifties. He bought back two boys with red lips and white teeth. After some training, they were treated as adopted sons, but secretly they were his playthings.
When Wang Che saw this kind of case, he was so disgusted that he almost vomited. He directly ordered him to be removed from his official position. In addition to other violations of law and discipline, he beheaded both his father and son, and the rest were exiled to Lingnan.
There were two other people who were worthy of Long Yang, and they were also ordered to be killed by Wang Che for human trafficking. Didn't they swear each other in bed? This will help you fulfill your oath to die on the same day, same year, same month, and I will bury you together thoughtfully, live in the same bed, and die in the same cave.
The city of Chang'an was very lively. A group of prison cars paraded around the city and then were taken to the execution ground.
"Come and see, come and see, the eldest son of the Li family, Sanlang, is going to be beheaded!" Many good people on the street loudly announced.
After knowing that these two people were the main force in human trafficking, many lost children in the city, and the people who lost their daughters hated them.
Of course, in addition to these people, there are many people who like to watch the fun.
"We're going to behead people today, but there are dozens of people. If it's too late, we won't be able to squeeze in!"
"Wait a minute, I'll get a steamed bun!"
The execution ground in Chang'an City was outside the city under a lonely willow tree. It was a sunny place with bare surroundings. If there was an unclaimed body, it would be buried directly in a nearby place.
As for the nobles of the Li family's level, it was the first time for them to be beheaded here in Chang'an, so a large number of people came to watch.
People followed the prison car all the way to the execution ground. Guanzhong was under military control during this period, and beheading became a rare entertainment item here.
"Come here, verify your identity!" The supervisor sat in the center of the high platform and gave the order directly. Several officials stepped forward to check the prisoners one by one. If anything was wrong, they would stop immediately and send someone to check.
"It is undoubtedly Dalang and Sanlang of the Li family."
"It is undoubtedly Zhao Yue."
"It is undoubtedly Liu Tong."
Dozens of prisoners were identified, and after at least two rounds of checks, they were ticked and signed on the list. If something went wrong in the future, these people would be held responsible, so no one dared to show any signs of neglect.
After the examination is completed, the next step is to wait for an auspicious time to behead.
There are rules for beheading, you can't do it randomly, and the executioners also have to give some punishment.
Friends who often kill people know that human bones are very hard. If you do not cut the head properly, the knife will get stuck. If the profit is rough, the person will be stuck a few times and the person will not be killed. , it hurts to death.
Therefore, in order to make relatives suffer less, they all need to give some relief to the executioner. Of course, other people are also indispensable. After all, everyone is going to die, so if you can suffer less, you should suffer less.
The problem in Guanzhong has been solved, and the consequences of this incident have been great. The royal family's supervision of officials and nobles from all over the country was once again enhanced.
Although the imperial court was originally very strict in supervising nobles, officials, and powerful people, people are inert. Over time, these systems will be relaxed, so they need to be replaced and sorted out.
This time, the imperial court passed the exams for scholars in Imperial College and Imperial College, and many people passed. A large part of these people will become inspection censors, patrolling all over the world.
After this cleanup in Guanzhong, it is estimated that about 5,000 people will be directly beheaded and killed. After being implicated, the number of exiles is expected to be 300,000. Such a major case is unprecedented in Daqian. As for whether there will be others in the future, it depends on the efforts of these nobles, officials and powerful people.
This major case affected 70% of the nobles, officials, and powerful people in Guanzhong, and even many offices that were entrusted by the royal family were implicated.
Seventy percent were implicated, and almost all the nobles, officials, and powerful men in Guanzhong were wiped out.
The once prosperous Chang'an City has become depressed. Even if the court ends the case, Chang'an City will not be able to recover within a few years. As for the brothels, it is estimated that many of them will not be able to continue operating.
At the same time, the imperial court also obtained a large amount of land, a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, money, shops, workshops, etc.
The imperial court did not intend to keep these things in its hands. After all, running these industries required a large number of manpower. Wang Che knew very well that those in the court, even if they were making money from business, would lose everything in the hands of those people.
As for the royal family's management, this is pretty good, but the royal family doesn't have that many manpower, and it would look too ugly for the royal family to do this, so it's better to sell it.
These shops and workshops can be sold to other businessmen or nobles at low prices. As for the land, Wang Che plans to sell it to the people. As for the direct distribution to the landless people as before, Wang Che directly vetoed it.
Because after some investigation, Wang found that some people used this method to harvest the country's wool.
The court once discovered that the court distributed land to landless people, thinking that these people would live and work in peace and contentment. However, due to other reasons, some people sold the land passed down by their fathers and became landless people, and they also received the land distributed by the court. This makes some so-called 'smart people' think they have found a way to get rich.
They would deliberately sell their land and then work as tenants for wealthy families, waiting to be divided again. If they were lucky, the nobles they farmed committed a crime and had their homes confiscated, and the land they farmed as tenants would be directly allocated to them by the court, and these common people would successfully be allocated acres of land again.
After seeing this situation, Wang Che stopped allocating these fields for free and changed it to a redemption system. People need to buy at lower prices, and each household has a limited purchase quantity.
If you don't have the money to buy it, you can also make it in installments. The court will not add interest, but will only charge more taxes every year. If you work harder, you can basically buy it in ten years.
You must know that even when land was allocated to Chengding in the past, thirty acres of wasteland were allocated to reclamation. It would take five or six years to reach a balance of payments. After all, cultivating wasteland required seeds, farm tools, cattle and horses, etc., which all needed to be rented. , these farmlands are all mature fields now.
Such a large amount of wealth in Guanzhong has attracted the attention of everyone from the government to the public. With so much money and wealth, as long as you get a little bit of it, you can get a lot of profits, so many people want to host the sale.
This is a sure-profit business, and you don't even need corruption. You just need to be slightly biased when selling, and you can get a lot of benefits. Wang Che finally handed over the sales rights to the royal family.
