The strong wind has brought money!

The Supervisory Secretary was dispatched. The Imperial Guard

was dispatched.

The Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites were dispatched.

Xu Yanmo was also (he thought) very careful in providing clues to avoid false charges and wrongful convictions.

They examined the land and county magistrates with the most rigorous attitude, and dealt with the criminals with the most aggressive attitude.

His Majesty said that he was responsible!

Those gentlemen, officials, and princes-in-law who were truly found guilty, as well as their male family members over the age of sixteen, were directly stripped of their shirts, their arms were tied, and they were asked to plead guilty with their bare bodies. They were sentenced to the punishment of "piercing their ears" and were driven to the capital. Their feet were covered in blood.

Officials were holding their evidence and reading it out loud.

All the people were watching them, especially watching them being tortured, with arrows pierced behind their ears, and cheering.

The female family members and males under the age of sixteen were shackled and walked beside the criminals. People around were constantly pointing and talking about them, and they were so ashamed that their faces were red and their gums were almost bleeding.

The extermination of nine clans looked bloody, but in reality, unless the emperor specifically ordered that none of the nine clans be spared, otherwise, the female family members - including mothers and daughters, wives and concubines, and sisters, were basically forced to serve as official slaves.

- In the past, they were distributed to the families of meritorious officials as slaves, but later, when the system of good and bad was cracked down, they were just official slaves.

——Official slaves were not prostitutes. They were usually responsible for serving the palace and government, such as raising dogs, horses, and animals in the gardens, or participating in government handicrafts, river canal, city building and other labor.

Of course, married women are not included in this exception. There is a saying that "crimes do not reach married women."

A wife who has just been engaged and has not yet married is not

among the candidates for posthumous punishment. As for males, those sixteen years old and above were all killed. They were executed at a slow pace. Those under the age of sixteen would be castrated and enter the palace as eunuchs as criminal slaves.

Descendants who have been married before and are not within the nine clans do not have to be punished together.

——Of course, if the emperor insisted on killing them, there would be nothing he could do, as the imperial power was supreme.

Even so, since there were many criminals, and generally such people would have more children if they had money, the nine clans were so large that during that period, heads were thrown into the mass graves, almost drowning the entire mass grave.

There were many dead officials, so the emperor directly opened an imperial examination, which was another imperial examination. No need to wait for three years.

Scholars in the world: (⊙o⊙)

Originally, they were going to scold the tyrant, but now, more than 90% of the scholars changed their words: "Good killing!!!"

"The officials who even protected those who stole the people's public land and even stole military rations should be killed!"

"They deserve to die!!!"

How can they make room for others if they don't die?

As for those who have no work experience, it doesn't matter, the county magistrate (deputy county magistrate) is still waiting to take the position.

As long as you have not committed any crime, you can be promoted to county magistrate. Even if it is not your county magistrate who is killed, it does not matter. If there is a vacancy in the position of county magistrate in other counties and the county magistrate there is unable to take on this important task, you can transfer people there.

County magistrates of various counties: "Good job!!!"

"Your Majesty is really a holy king!!!"

[Holy king, does it mean a holy king who picks up the money thrown by others? 】

Xu Yanmiao admired the old emperor and couldn't help complaining. It was the scene that happened after he walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion that made him unforgettable for a long time.

*

It was the day after Prime Minister Dou's birthday banquet. The old emperor let those who had not committed any crime leave the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Someone was throwing money on the street.

Yes, it was money that was scattered. The layer of money on the ground shining with sunlight was particularly eye-catching. People rushed to pick it up, and each one of them looked like a martial arts master, with great skills.

On the high building, the person who scattered the money watched the people scramble for it, pushing each other, and laughing.

But Xu Yanmiao didn't care whether the other party was making fun of him.

This is money!

Pick it up for free!!!

In modern times, it would be like someone scattering 100-yuan RMB. It's all on the ground, and whatever you can pick up is yours!

Xu Yanmiao pulled up his best friend and rushed in, happily bending down to pick up the money, his eyes stained with the light of the money, very bright and energetic.

[What a good person! I really hope there are such good people and good things every day! Xu Yanmiao

was picking up the money when she accidentally stepped on someone's foot. She turned around with difficulty: "I'm sorry..." Her eyes suddenly widened: "Your Majesty——" and

her mouth was covered by a hand.

After the old emperor let go, he picked up the money in a swaggering manner, and reminded Xu Yanmiao: "Don't disturb the people."

As for whether he would shout out his true feelings, the old emperor didn't care.

What's wrong with picking up the money? This is money blown by the strong wind! It would be a waste if you don't pick it up!

Xu Yanmiao also saw the prince limping, but he was strong-willed and snatched money from other normal people. Sparrows flew across the sky, and several of them landed on the branches next to the crowd, chirping and very happy.

Xu Yanmiao: "..."

The emperor and the prince were both picking up money, so it wouldn't be a loss of dignity for him to pick up money, right?

So he picked up money even more happily.

The good man who was throwing money said loudly: "After you pick up the money, you must wish Prime Minister Dou Qing good fortune as vast as the East Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains, understand!"

The emperor below heard it, without even raising an eyebrow, and continued to pick up money actively.

Xu Yanmiao felt that he could not pick up any more money, so he stepped aside and checked the system by the way: [Wow! This is also a retired official who did not receive an invitation from Prime Minister Dou. But he also wanted to try his luck, so he threw money here to see if he could attract Prime Minister Dou's attention? ]

[Why didn't he throw it yesterday? ]

[Oh oh! By the time he got the news, it was already too late. When he hurried over, it was already this morning. 】

【No wonder, if he had arrived a day earlier and seen someone being beheaded at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he would never have dared to do this. Wasn't he afraid that the old emperor would not investigate him? 】

【Originally, he might have escaped, tut tut. 】

【But, maybe the old emperor was short-handed? 】

The old emperor stuffed a lot of money into his pockets, even his hands were full, and slowly withdrew from the crowd. He calmly said to the Jinyiwei: "Since he has come to our door, let's check if he has done anything he shouldn't have done."

Is he owed money to someone else? Not true.

The fool who threw money around didn't know that there was a dog emperor who took his money and didn't count it, but also wanted to check him. Now he was happily thinking about how he spent a lot of money, attracted the prime minister's favor, and reached the pinnacle of officialdom.

The end of the memory.

At this time, it was early April. Xu Yanmiao was in Linshu County, Shandong.

He came with a mission: "I heard that there is an old farmer here who is good at farming?"

The farmer who was asked thought for a moment and said: "Are you talking about Xishi's house in Tukelala?"

- Xishi was a beauty who appeared during the Seven Kingdoms' War for Hegemony, and Tukelala is a Shandong dialect, which means a lump of earth.

"The beauty of the dirt?"

"The daughter of their family, she loves beauty! Since their family earned money from farming, they bought silk clothes for the daughter. The daughter wore silk clothes to turn dirt in the field several times, and their family was very happy! They often praised their daughter for her beauty!"

Xu Yanmiao glanced at the envy in the old farmer's eyes, smiled, and did not respond, but asked politely: "Where is the home of this beauty? Can you show me the way?"

The old farmer was very enthusiastic, not only showing me the way, but also taking Xu Yanmiao directly to the door of the house.

Xu Yanmiao looked at the small yard and the house, and really believed that the other party made a fortune with his farming skills. The houses in the countryside have been built with mansions, so they must have had the money to spare.

In the yard, a black man was washing his face. He didn't even need a face towel. He just scooped up water from the basin and wiped his face twice, then took a coarse cloth towel from his belt and wiped it dry.

The old farmer shouted to the man, "Old Qi! There's a young man looking for you, a handsome young man!"

"Ah?" The black man turned around and saw Xu Yanmiao, and his heart tightened immediately.

A man with red lips and white teeth, and soft and expensive clothes must be either a rich man or a son of an official. Why would he come to him?

He tried to smile, making himself look honest and amiable: "You...what do you want to say?"

Xu Yanmiao nodded: "I heard that you are good at farming? Have you found that it is better to use well water than rain water when watering vegetables, and rain water is better than well water when irrigating crops?"

The black man was stunned for a moment: "Yes...I did tell the villagers that they should water the crops like this."

Xu Yanmiao asked again: "How do you choose seeds and use fertilizers in this village? , when to weed and when to plant rice seedlings, do others listen to you? "

Speaking of this, the black man was very proud: "I am capable! Others can only produce 100 kilograms of wheat per mu, but I can produce 20 kilograms more! A full 20 kilograms of wheat!"

Xu Yanmiao made a prompt decision: "I have a big business to discuss with you. It's about farming. When you have time, I will come over again."

The black man's eyes lit up.

For a big man like this, the big business he talked about must be very profitable.

He agreed immediately and even made an appointment to meet at dusk.

After Xu Yanmiao left, the black man exchanged a few words with the old farmer and returned home: "Wife! Wife! Stew some bone soup quickly, a big shot will come to discuss business with us tonight!"

Bone soup was stewed in the kitchen, and when dusk came, the milky bone soup began to bubble out of the sand pot.

At this time, the black man, his wife, the sixteen-year-old Tu Ke La Xi Shi, the ten-year-old eldest son of the Qi family, and the seven-year-old youngest son of the Qi family, all stood at the door, anxiously waiting for Xu Yanmiao's arrival.

Such a big business!

The black man's wife was surprised and worried: "Why don't you ask more clearly! What if the big shot goes back and thinks that he can't do this business with you and doesn't come again!" The

black man slapped his thigh and was very upset.

Tu Ke La Xi Shi suddenly heard the noise and said anxiously: "There is a sound over there! A very loud sound!"

The family hurriedly walked out of the distance and saw a large group of yamen runners walking towards them. The county magistrate was in front of the yamen runners, but the county magistrate was nodding and bowing to the "big shot" during the day, as if he was saying something. The

black man's family: "!!!"
