I was reborn as the villain

The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for the aristocratic family. After they got the land through the farmer-for-trader, all the construction in progress has been stopped, but they dare not stop the construction in progress of the properties that were pre-sold before. If something goes wrong, but They will seek revenge from the immortal cultivators, and they can only continue to build according to the agreement.

The other industries of the powerful family have been squeezed by Hengkong Group and Shunyou Huanming invisibly for a long time, and there is not much room. There were signs of a shutdown.

The North Korean and Chinese forces also know that time is running out, and they and these rich and powerful families are a community of interests, and they must not be allowed to fall, so the movement is getting bigger and bigger, and it feels that the whole country is undercurrents, and major turmoil may occur at any time.

The little emperor also felt a sense of danger. It seemed that something big was about to happen. He also knew that it could not be delayed any longer, otherwise the whole country would be changed.

Chen Zhimo is well aware of the dangers involved. He has already touched the interests of the rich and powerful, but fundamentally. You must know that the rich and powerful in the imperial court are inextricably linked with the powerful families, not only holding shares in the rich and powerful families' industries, There are many close relationships between them.

Chen Zhimo would not give them a chance to attack, so the only ones to use them were the three high-ranking assistant ministers.

The opportunity here is that the three auxiliary ministers have no blood relationship or kinship with the aristocratic family, only interests are involved, and the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

So Hengkong Group made a big decision, which is to establish a fund treasury for the three auxiliary ministers, promising that if the three support Hengkong Group, then Hengkong Group will transfer 10% of the net income to their fund treasury every year , they can use these funds through some names.

While the Hengkong Group stabilized the three major forces, the three auxiliary ministers were to suppress and restrain those who had close contacts with powerful families.

The Hengkong Group has kept a lot of followers, all of them are eloquent and sophistry debaters. They have been lobbyists in the government of the three auxiliary ministers in turn, saying that they have no choice but to cooperate with the Hengkong Group.

In fact, the reason is very simple. These aristocratic families are gone. Even if they can turn around, so what. The ability and means of making money are far worse than those of the Hengkong Group, and the three auxiliary ministers are limited, but the Hengkong Group has unlimited phenomena. force.

Moreover, the Hengkong Group not only uses money to impress the three auxiliary ministers, but also impresses them from all aspects of fame, profit, aspirations, interests, and people, and promises to return the land they privately transferred to the powerful and powerful families for farmers to trade. Giving them a part finally temporarily stabilized the tripartite forces.

In this way, the Hengkong Group can also free up its hands to boldly deal with the wealthy families, and the next thing to launch is the food strategy.

Most of the farmland in the Shucang Kingdom has been taken into the hands of the Hengkong Group, and then there are more government lands, but at present, only the Hengkong Group's fields have planted high-efficiency and high-yield agricultural products, that is to say, only the Hengkong Group There is enough food in hand.

The large and small grain merchants in the Shucang Kingdom have long been taken over by the Hengkong Group, and the Hengkong Group suddenly implemented a grain supply plan.

That is to say, each household buys rations at a low price according to the population, and the Hengkong Group will ensure that the people can buy enough food for life at a low price, but domestic servants will not be among them.

This plan is also aimed at large households. For example, if a large family has a population of 500 and there are thousands of servants, then this large family can only purchase rations for 500 people, and the rest of the household servants will no longer be supplied by the food plan. It is not impossible to buy rations for thousands of slaves and servants in the ranks. You have to buy them at a high price and set a tiered price. For every additional 100 people, the fee will be raised by one step.

This will undoubtedly make the family even worse. The bigger the family, the greater the pressure, and they don't have much land in their hands. Most of the land has been used for farmers to trade.

The food produced by the few remaining fields is simply not enough to feed the huge family. If the family is to be sustained, what the powerful and wealthy can do is either spend a high price on food to survive, or dismiss the family servants and let them Become an independent person, but these dismissed domestic servants will be relocated to a new town outside the city, where they will work and live.

This matter cannot be delayed for a day. Ordinary people have to eat, and if they don’t eat for a day, there will be rebellion. Therefore, these powerful families had to make a decision immediately. In the end, most of the wealthy families chose to make a decisive decision and dismissed most of the house servants. .

This is also Chen Zhimo's plan. When the economy kidnaps politics, the powerful families kidnap the imperial court, and some local wealthy families even surpass the government offices in strength, and the number of people in a government office is not even comparable to that of some wealthy families. fair.

In order to prevent the rich and powerful from jumping over the wall when cornered, Chen Zhimo came up with this plan.

The aristocratic family has no food in their hands, and they can't buy extra food if they have money in their hands. Then who is willing to follow them and starve to death? When people can't fill their stomachs, a lot of loyalty is out of the question.

All of a sudden, the size of the powerful family was greatly reduced. Taking the largest family of the Yang family as an example, the number of servants was reduced from ten thousand to one thousand.

In just a few days, the powerful clans of the Shucang Kingdom have undergone earth-shaking changes, and they no longer have the same glorious style as before. Chen Zhimo's simple move caught the powerful clans by surprise, so they could only react hastily, and had already lost their ancestors. machine and background.

It’s not that the powerful families never thought about rebelling, they also thought about buying grain from abroad, but the Hengkong Group has long controlled the trading channels, and the maritime trade is also the dominant one of the Hengkong Group. After all the industries of the powerful families were suppressed , They have been unable to purchase food from outside.

Even if grain can be purchased through some secret channels, it is too late to transport it from a distant country. The servants and servants of the powerful and powerful families have to wait for the arrival of the grain transport team without eating or drinking.

The aristocratic family also thought about letting the court open warehouses to release grain, but the farmland in the hands of the court has not been harvested, and the grain hoarded in the past was used for strategic purposes, so it is impossible to open warehouses to release grain for no reason.

The aristocratic family does not have an army in their hands, so they cannot use force against the Hengkong Group. Even if they can mobilize their servants to fight against the Hengkong Group, the Hengkong Group is not weak. There are 30 to [-] employees inside and outside the ranks, and they have no chance of winning.

The Hengkong Group has long grown into an unshakable existence, and these wealthy patriarchs feel a chill in their hearts.

After the aristocratic family reduced their staff, their expenditures were reduced a lot, and they could barely survive for a while. At this time, a short period of peace came, and the aristocratic family was unable to fight against the Hengkong Group anymore, and the Hengkong Group did not kill them all.
