Chapter 1329 Discrimination
Xiangguang City is the second key city won by the Heavenly Warriors, and the first key city they won is Yunzhongcheng.
After they took Yunzhong City, they had no time to do anything in Yunzhong City, so they integrated their army to attack Daheishan, completed the Daheishan ambush, and then took Xiangguang City.
After the heavenly soldiers entered Xiangguang City, the first question before Zhou Xianguang and others was how to treat the original officials and the wealthy families.
In fact, although these two groups are different, strictly speaking, they are a whole. Many officials come from wealthy families. Occasionally, if people from small families become officials by chance, their family will soon become wealthy families.
The heavenly soldiers have promised that they will let the people who support them live a good life. How can they live a good life? Opening warehouses and grains can only control their temporary food and clothing, and they cannot control their food and clothing for a lifetime. If they want them to truly live a life of full food and clothing, they must give the ploughers the land, the workers have work to do, and the workers' wages and benefits must be raised.
But now, both the fields and factories are controlled by those wealthy families. If the heavenly soldiers want to give the people benefits, they have to let these wealthy families give up some of the benefits!
However, how could those wealthy families be willing to give up their benefits?
Of course, today the soldiers occupied Xiangguang City and had a strong army, they could rely on armed forces to destroy all these wealthy families and then confiscate their property.
However, Zhou Xianguang and Li Qingyu summoned the backbone of the Heavenly Soldiers, and after fierce discussion, they did not take such fierce measures like one-size-fits-all approaches.
Such intense means seem to be very direct and clean, but they will have serious consequences for the hegemony of the heavenly soldiers to unify the Lingxu Realm!
Now the politics of the entire Lingxu Realm is the politics of wealthy families and family politics. The thirty-six super families in the Lingxu Realm are the largest wealthy families, and below are the wealthy families of all sizes. Now if Zhou Xianguang and others use violent means to kill all these wealthy families and force all the wealthy families to give up their interests unconditionally, they will definitely offend all the wealthy families in the entire Living Virtual Realm!
In this way, the wealthy families in the entire virtual world will definitely give up the grudges between them, strictly control their tenants and workers, unite around the various super wealthy families, and work together to fight the heavenly soldiers to the end!
If such consequences really occur, it will be disastrous for the heavenly soldiers! They will face an unbreakable whole!
Moreover, this one-size-fits-all approach is also unfair to some wealthy families.
As modern people, Zhou Xianguang, Li Qingyu and others are very clear that laziness is not divided into classes, and not all poor people are diligent. On the contrary, among all the poor, the proportion of lazy people is extremely high!
Not all the people from wealthy families are playboys, and there are many hardworking and capable people among them! The wealth accumulation of many wealthy families is very legitimate.
For example, there is a man who originally had five acres of land, but he was unwilling to farm and was lazy. He was almost starving to death. He wanted to sell the land to someone who had accumulated a little wealth by hard work. Should this person with a little wealth buy or not?
If you don’t buy it, that poor man will starve to death. If you buy it, he will save his life!
After this little rich man bought these five acres of land, he would hire more people to work for him, so he would gain more and he would buy more land next year.
This is a normal process of wealth accumulation, and it is unfair to force such families to hand over their land and wealth.
In order not to over-stimulate the nerves of the wealthy nobles in the entire leadership world, the backbone of the Heavenly Soldiers formulated a strategy of dealing with big evils and not pursuing small evils after fierce discussions.
Those wealthy families who have great public anger and commit a lot of crimes in the process of wealth accumulation and are extremely angry. If they do not kill, they will not be able to quell the public anger, and will resolutely deal with them. They must set up a court, call on the people to accuse their crimes, conduct public trials on them, and deprive them of their right to survive. All their property except for leaving enough of their family members to confiscate them.
These confiscated fields will naturally be distributed to ordinary people, but the heavenly soldiers stipulate that after the people are assigned to heaven and earth, they must not be abandoned for no reason. If the heavenly soldiers find out who is assigned to the fields and abandon them for no reason, they will not only reclaim the land, but also severely punish the owner of the land.
Punishing lazy people can ensure that the land is used for maximum use.
For those families who are not very angry or whose wealth accumulation process is relatively normal, Zhou Xianguang adopts the method of redemption and buys their land at a fair price. Of course, this business is a free transaction, and those families have the right not to sell and continue to retain their own land.
But the problem faced by these families is that when the soldiers distributed the land obtained from the bullies to the poor, the poor will have their own land and their own land, so they will naturally no longer be tenants for wealthy families!
The children of these wealthy families will not go to the fields to cultivate themselves. Even if they want to cultivate themselves, they don’t have that many people! Their fields cannot be cultivated, and the heavenly soldiers are not allowed to be abandoned. Leaving the excess fields in their hands will not only not create wealth for them, but will also bring them losses. They will eventually agree to sell part of their land to the heavenly soldiers.
The money purchased by the government was paid by part of the money from the traitor and evil families.
After the policy was formulated, in order to investigate the history of wealthy families such as Xiangguang City and their daily actions, Tianbing established a rectification and investigation office for wealthy families, and Xiaozhu served as the office director and was directly responsible to Zhou Xianguang.
The Investigation Office has great power and can temporarily mobilize troops below the regiment without notifying the superior departments of the relevant troops. Its main task is to investigate the wealthy families and officials at all levels of Xiangguang City. Small traitors and minor evils will not be blamed for the past, and the big traitors and evils will be strictly dealt with!
Zhou Xianguang equipped Xiaozhu with a large number of personnel and gave Xiaozhu the right to choose his own personnel. As long as he finally reported to the General Staff, Xiaozhu spread a large number of personnel and formed an invisible net in Xiangguang City. It took only more than ten days to understand the situation of these wealthy families.
This rectification process undoubtedly affected the interests of a large number of wealthy families. After all, the history of the vast majority of wealthy nobles is the history of blood and tears of ordinary people. The wealthy families with great anger account for the majority!
When Xiaozhu raised his butcher's knife to these wealthy families with great public anger, these wealthy families suddenly realized that the heavenly soldiers actually did not intend to let them go. The previous calm was just covering up the investigation work behind them!
The wealthy families who were forced to hand over their land and property naturally would not be obedient. They struggled with the protection of the rich slaves, and then instigated their subordinates to follow them to fight against the heavenly soldiers.
At this time, we can see the importance of Li Qingyu's previous work. The tenants had long recognized the heavenly soldiers. How could they listen to the foolings of these wealthy families?
These wealthy families only took their wealthy slaves to protect the yard and wanted to protect their property, but they couldn't even make a wave, so they were all captured alive by Xiaozhu! All the land and wealth were confiscated!
