Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 1049: ：Escape south, Beitou
Unlike the Yu clan, they are a scholarly family and do not control the military. They have two merit monuments in the family, one is the former Prime Minister and the other is a chaste woman, both of whom are models in the world. There is also a famous one in the north. Princess Shao Yichang.
Yu Zongshen nodded: "With this, I will sell it to King Wu Mu and send the descendants of the Song family to the north to be protected by King Wu Mu. If my life can be saved, he will definitely do it."
The Liang thieves are coming. In this great Zhou Dynasty, no one except King Wu Mu can protect the Song family. Sacrificing one person can protect the whole Song family. In order to plan for the future of the Song family's descendants, why not do it?
This conversation today is destined to leave a mark in the history books.
Old Yu Ge found the Marquis of Zhenguo, and the two had a secret chat in the study for a long, long time.
Until late at night, the Marquis of Zhenguo, with red eyes, summoned the whole family and made an earth-shattering decision. The entire Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion was filled with sadness and weeping.
The old lady of Zhenguo Hou even fainted on the spot.
Thanks to the fact that the Marquis of Zhen Guo had taken precautions and quickly asked a doctor to perform an acupuncture, everything was fine.
Not a few days later, bad news came from Henan. The Liang thieves were unstoppable and effortlessly captured several cities one after another. The fall of Henan was a foregone conclusion.
Since ancient times, Henan has been the heart of the Central Plains and a battleground for military strategists. Losing Henan would be like inserting a sharp knife into the heart of the Zhou Dynasty.
The imperial court began to die, and the people were afraid that the war would spread, and they fled to the temporarily stable areas south of the Yangtze River and the north.
There are refugees displaced by war everywhere.
Food prices are skyrocketing out of control.
The news of the southward escape spread quickly in Beijing. For a time, everyone was in danger. Many people had packed up their belongings and planned to flee south to Beitou with their families while the Liang bandits were still in Henan.
The bustling capital has become chaotic.
At this time, a group of senior nobles headed by the Marquis of Zhenguo, together with the Prince of Long County, the Qi Mansion, and some officials who were good friends with the Yu and Qi families, launched a campaign to "abandon the capital and protect the north". Great cause of earth.
Wealthy businessmen, officials, aristocratic families, nobles, and even clans, everyone with some wealth was confiscated, 70% of the family wealth was confiscated, and 30% was kept for themselves.
There were complaints and curses in Beijing.
After hearing the news, Prince Liang and his son, who were far away in Henan, were so angry that they almost vomited blood for three thousand feet.
Yu Zongshen raided the capital all over. When it was their turn, not only did they eat meat, but they couldn't even drink soup. When the treasury was empty, they took over the Great Zhou Dynasty. Where did it come from? Money manages the country and governs the people? !
"What a Yu Zongshen," King Liang slapped a white jade unicorn on the table, smashing the priceless jade sculpture into pieces, and roared: "What a Yu clan..."
What is the difference between this scene today and the time when the loyal duke killed the king and welcomed the new emperor? !
The Yu family is indeed the same Yu family.
Liang Jingxuan also had a sigh on his face. Even though he was burning with anger, he couldn't say anything slanderous: "Father, please forgive me. The Di people are coming now with great force, which is really unexpected. If the northern border is lost, Our great cause will also be hindered. If this batch of money and materials can really help King Wu Mu defeat the Di people and defend the northern border, it will still be beneficial to us."
Of course King Liang knew this, but just the thought of handing over Bai Huahua and Huang Chengcheng's money to others made his heart feel as painful as bleeding:
"Who knew that a young boy like King Wu Mu could hold the northern border and defeat 600,000 Di people? Yu Zongshen did not hesitate to bear the infamy and abandon the capital to protect the north. Don't steal the chicken but lose the rice. He gathered the world's wealth and benefited the Northern Barbarians."
The political style of the Zhou Dynasty was corrupt and corruption was rampant.
The officials at the bottom collude with businessmen to plunder the people's wealth and support, and they also have to give most of their money to the higher-ups to seek protection from them, so as to make it easier for them to make money. Often what they can get is only a small profit, and the bulk of it goes to the higher-ups. , such layer upon layer of exploitation, officials protecting each other, eventually all rivers flowed into the sea, and all the money flowed into the hands of the powerful and powerful people in Beijing.
In this copy, most of the money from the Zhou Dynasty was copied.
It's hard to say for Liang Jingxuan. If King Wu Mu fails to defend the northern border, he doesn't know whose hands this money will fall into.
It’s not that he emits the enemy’s ambition and destroys his own prestige.
Liang Jun is also an army of tigers and wolves, but the soldiers from the north and the south have different soil and conditions. The differences are too big. The Di people are famous for their bravery. There are many generals used in the court, but none of them dare to pat their chests and say, He could be sure of defeating the Di people. If not, why did the emperor hand over the northern territory to the hands of Yin Huaixi, who was still young and disabled at the time?
After the Marquis of Changxing, no one dared to take over the hot potato of the Northern Territory.
Liang Jun does not have the experience or means to fight against Beidi. Beidi is coming fiercely, and if he rushes to fight, he will definitely suffer.
The 'Abandon Beijing and Protect the North' movement has caused a great stir in Beijing.
What is absolutely unexpected is that in just three days, the Marquis of Zhenguo confiscated more than 50 million taels of silver, as well as a batch of gold, pearls, jade, gems, as well as a large amount of grain, cloth, etc.
Even a small seventh-grade sesame official can seize one hundred thousand snowflake silver from the house.
Really answered that sentence:
Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.
It also makes people suddenly understand that during the Great Zhou Dynasty, water and land trade routes were widely opened, and domestic trade routes were connected in all directions, allowing each other to exchange what was needed. At the peak of history, Yu Zongshen opened the sea ban again and continuously transported overseas materials into the country. The Great Zhou Dynasty itself was extremely rich, but this oil did not flow into the national treasury.
It’s really hard to calm down.
The Jingwei camp carried out a vigorous raid for ten days. The Ministry of Household Affairs counted more than 71 million taels of silver and more than 3 million taels of gold. The food hoarded could not even be loaded into the large warehouse of the military quarters.
In addition to money and food, there are also some cotton, wine, medicinal materials, cloth, etc., which is also a huge amount of supplies.
Even Elder Yu Ge was dumbfounded and shook his head: "I think there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, the Liang thieves rebelled, and supplies became urgent. These people started hoarding early to protect themselves. They hoarded goods and circulated them on the market. The supplies were reduced, and the people could no longer survive, so they had no choice but to resist the imperial court. It is no wonder that riots occurred frequently in various places. This family did not complain. In my opinion, 70% of the family property was confiscated, which is still a small amount, so they should confiscate everything."
The Marquis of Zhenguo did not speak.
Master Qi is convinced: "The cunning rabbit has three burrows. If you think about it, the ~IndoMTL.com~ that can be found out is only part of their property, and the other part is used as a way out, hidden early in the morning."
Yu Zongshen coughed: "Then continue to copy, control their families, and make them reveal where the materials and money are hidden. Those who resist will be punished on the spot!"
No one present raised any objections. The main reason was that I was heartbroken and completely disappointed with these people!
All this money was taken from the people, but in the end they were unkind and did not give the people a way to live!
Yu Zongshen suppressed his cough and continued in a hoarse voice: "The confiscated money and materials must be sent to Xiangping City in batches as soon as possible while I can still grasp the general trend of Beijing, so as not to cause any further delays and unforeseen consequences. , another person was sent to secretly send the news to Xiangping, and Princess Shao Yichang was asked to send troops to respond."
————————Digression——————
After the Qing army entered Beijing, they ransacked everything in the capital. I heard that they confiscated fifty to sixty million taels of silver alone. This was a conservative amount. There were also countless gold and silver treasures. How could the Qing army be so quick? The establishment of a foundation in the Han Dynasty is inseparable from this group of huge wealth.
