With the assistance of Tang Yu, Wang Dafu and his soldiers began to investigate the four large households headed by Liu Shizao. During the investigation, a special pen posted a notice to explain to the people the reasons for the arrest.
One is to avoid causing panic, and the other is to deter those who are committed to the Qing Dynasty.
When the soldiers surrounded Liu's house, Liu Shizao tried to struggle. But when Wang Dafu took out the letter he wrote to Liu Liangzuo, Liu Shizao was completely speechless.
The Liu family is a big family, and there are more than 70 members of the direct family, all of which need to be arrested.
There is no other way. Copying their home is the enemy of life and death. If you don't catch all of them, those people will become a hidden danger.
In order to retaliate against Wu Changqing, they might leak information about the Ming army to the Qing army, or they might find a way to assassinate Wu Changqing.
The principal culprit, Liu Shizao, will undoubtedly be put to death, while the men of the Liu family will be taken to the mine to dig or do other coolies, and the women of the Liu family will be sold to the brothel without exception.
As a posterity, Wu Changqing didn't want to do it this way, but this is the most efficient method, and it is also the common method of this era, which is the characteristic of this era.
Even if Wu Changqing did this, everyone would take it for granted, and no one would think he was cruel.
When Liu Shizao was caught, he saw Tang Yu and Wang Dafu together. He suddenly seemed to understand something and started various vicious curses.
But before he swears a few words, the soldiers smashed a few teeth with a knife handle.
As for Tang Yu, he was introducing to Wang Dafu some of the assets Liu Shizao possessed, the land in the countryside, etc., completely ignoring Liu Shizao.
Dozens of people from the Liu family were **** and driven out of the Liu Mansion, attracting a lot of people's onlookers.
Under the yelling of the penman, the people knew what was going on.
Knowing that Liu Shizao of the Liu family actually intends to collude with Qing Tart to break the city, some angry people couldn't help throwing mud or small stones at them.
As for the scenes of throwing eggs and vegetables in film and television dramas, there is no such thing as the people are not rich yet.
The family members of the Liu family were taken away crying all the way, but no people would sympathize with them. Firstly, Liu Shizao's collusion with Tatar made them unhappy, and secondly, the Liu family was too rich.
Such things as hatred of the rich have existed since ancient times. Seeing the bad luck of the Liu family, many people are very happy in their hearts.
Even some men are still thinking about ways to get some money, and then go to the kiln to patronize the daughters of the Liu family.
Pushing the rich lady who used to be high above her body, the feeling is completely different from riding an ordinary kiln sister.
After copying the Liu family, the other three households were also quickly raided. The same was executed by the owner of the house, the males went to do coolies, and the females were sold into brothels.
In the evening, Wu Zhiyue took the ledger to the government office to report.
This time, they found a total of 180,000 taels of cash, various mansion furniture and antiques, etc. The initial estimated value was about 1.2 million taels.
However, the price of antique calligraphy and painting is hard to say. In the heyday, it may be worthless, and in the troubled times it may be worthless. If you are eager to sell, it may be cheaper, but if you wait for the opportunity, it may sell for a higher price.
In addition to these, there are also various shops and goods, the initial estimated value is about 900,000 taels.
And their land in the country is worth about four to five million taels.
In other words, their total income from this investigation was about 2.8 million taels. I have to say that it is so cool to copy homes. If it is not for fear of causing social unrest, as long as they keep copying the homes of those big households, it will be enough to support Wu Changqing's military expenditures for the world hegemony.
Of course, this is impossible. Wealthy businessmen are a very important part of this society. It is fine to kill a few occasionally, but if there are more to be killed, the whole society will fall into chaos.
In addition to 2.8 million, Tang Yu also donated 150,000 cash and 800,000 assets. Originally, he wanted to donate all of it, but Wu Changqing left him some land and shops.
At the same time, Wu Changqing also let him continue to manage the original business. It's just that all the money earned has to be handed over to the army as military pay.
Tang Yu was able to make his family business a million, which is enough to show that he is a savvy person and can use it with confidence.
The cloth business of Liu Shizao's family was taken over by Wu Zhiyue, and he was also in charge of the other three businesses, but in order to realize cash, they would gradually sell them out.
Knowing that Liu Shizao and others had been ransacked and several principal criminals were also beheaded, Chen Daolin only sneered in his heart.
When those people pushed him out, he knew clearly in his heart.
Now that I see those who are squeezing themselves out of luck, I feel so refreshed and refreshed in my heart.
At the same time, he is also fortunate for his gamble, at least for the time being, he is very right.
With 8,000 troops, the Qing army defeated 40,000. Now Wu Changqing’s troops have expanded to more than 10,000, and will soon reach 20,000.
With this number, the Qing army might not be easily wiped out without a 100,000 army. In other words, Wu Changqing has gained a firm foothold.
Moreover, Chen Daolin believes that Wu Changqing's strength will continue to grow.
After Wu Changqing defeated the Qing army, some businessmen who had been squeezing him out, all came to pay respects at this time, wanting to contact Chen Daolin for friendship.
The businessmen in Suzhou are not stupid either. They can see that, at least for a short time, Wu Changqing has the final say in Suzhou.
In this situation, it is very necessary to please Wu Changqing and Chen Daolin.
"Congratulations, shopkeeper Chen, who is about to become General Wu's father-in-law. It is really gratifying. When General Wu gets married, I wonder if I can ask for a drink."
Liu Wuling pleased and said that Wu Changqing and Chen Yuyan's wedding date was getting closer, but he did not receive the invitation, which made him very anxious.
As a businessman, he must have a good relationship with those in power.
If even Wu Changqing’s wedding is not eligible to attend, is it possible to be taken care of in the future?
"Of course there is no problem with this. The invitation is still being transcribed, and it will be sent to the house soon."
Chen Daolin said that he didn't retaliate against these people because he had been squeezed out. Retaliation against these people will not do much except for making enemies.
But accepting them is hopeful of becoming the leader among them.
Moreover, it is a great thing to be with them and enjoy the flattery of these successful people.
"Then I would like to thank shopkeeper Chen. In the future, shopkeeper Chen has a need, even if I say hello, I will never say anything to Liu."
At this point, Liu Wuling was finally relieved, as long as Chen Daolin didn't hold a grudge.
There are still many people like Liu Wuling, and for a while, Chen Mansion seems to be a little crowded.
