King Zhao finally made a decision and directly executed Mr. Zhou Er.

The reason for making this decision is of course multifaceted. First of all, the key is of course the factors from Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo's words really touched King Zhao, making King Zhao feel that this time the Zhou family is actually very likely to take revenge on the matter of Queen Zhou, and want to dig out the corners of King Zhao and secretly destroy King Zhao's reforms.

If this is true, King Zhao will of course have to beat the Zhou family well so that they can know that the king is the king, and the so-called thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king. If I want to give it to you, you can continue to do whatever I want to give it to you. If I don’t want to give it to you, then you can’t take it casually.

However, considering Zhao Kuo's existence, if King Zhao directly dismissed any of the Zhou brothers, the political situation of Zhao, which finally balanced due to Li Mu's rebellion, changed again, which was something that King Zhao did not want to see.

Therefore, King Zhao needed an appropriate way to attack the Zhou family, and at the same time he could not dismiss the Zhou brothers' official positions. After thinking about it, he was undoubtedly the best choice to directly execute Prince Zhou Er.

Killing Prince Zhou Er is enough to let the Zhou family know the determination and courage of King Zhao. In the future, the Zhou family will definitely be much more obedient.

At the same time, the impact of Mr. Zhou Er who killed him was just an illegitimate son on the Zhou family was very limited, and he would basically not weaken the strength of the Zhou family.

Another very important point is that with the death of Mr. Zhou, the Liangzi between the Zhou family and Zhao Kuo was completely formed, and the two sides basically would not have any possibility of reconciliation.

In this way, King Zhao will be able to control the ministers of these two factions more easily, so as not to let them suddenly unite to deal with King Zhao at critical moments.

Therefore, King Zhao felt that he did something very clever this time. Not only did he suppress the Zhou family and emphasized the majesty of King Zhao, but he also allowed the Zhou family to transfer all his anger to Zhao Kuo, making Zhou and Zhao Kuo even more incompatible, which was simply a killing of multiple goals.

With this happy mood, King Zhao looked at Zhou Shaoliang again and said lightly: "Zhou Shaoliang, you have no way to teach your children and will cause huge losses to our Zhao State. Then you will be fined for three years to serve as a warning.

Well, this matter ends here, let's all break up."

This so-called three-year salary fine is actually a symbolic warning. After all, at this current status, no one cares about these salary.

After announcing these decisions, King Zhao stood up happily. All he had to do now was to turn back to the harem and show off in front of Queen Li, so that Queen Li could know how King Zhao had accurately controlled the balance of the political situation today and played with these ministers in applause.

Every time Queen Li heard these things, the admiration expression on her face made King Zhao feel very satisfied.

After King Zhao left, the hall fell into silence for a moment.

The Zhou brothers' faces were very ugly, especially the father of Mr. Zhou Shaoliang, Zhou, was extremely pale and his body was trembling constantly.

You should know that Zhou Shaoliang has always been obsessed with Mr. Zhou Er's mother. It is precisely because of this longing and guilt that Zhou Shaoliang still brought Mr. Zhou Er to his side after so many years.

Even if he cannot give Mr. Zhou Er a title, he still hopes that Mr. Zhou Er can do his own career.

But now everything is over, and the young master will be executed soon.

Zhao Kuo let out a long sigh, stood up, and walked out of the hall without looking back. Xu Li and Pang Nuan were naturally followed closely.

After the three of them left, Li Mu stood up slowly, nodded to the Zhou brothers, and left.

Since Li Mu has become the King of Zhao on the surface, he did not agree with Zhao Kuo in this matter, and at the same time did not stand on the side of the Zhou brothers oppose Zhao Kuo. He just watched quietly until the whole thing ended.

After Li Mu left, Zhou Shaofen sighed helplessly and said to Zhou Shaoliang who was still in a state of dismay: "Okay, okay, it's useless to continue staying here. Let's go home and prepare well."

As for what to prepare, there is no need to say more, of course, it is to prepare for the funeral of Mr. Li.

After hearing Zhou Shaofen's words, Zhou Shaoliang's body trembled slightly, and it took him a long time to stand up slowly.

Suddenly, Zhou Shaoliang gritted his teeth and said, "One day, I will definitely let Zhao Kuo pay his blood debt."

Zhou Shaoliang's words were very loud, which directly shocked Zhou Shaofen: "Have you forgotten what occasion is now?

Can you say this kind of thing randomly?

Come back with me quickly and stop making trouble."

The Zhou brothers also left.

After the Zhou brothers left, a small figure suddenly appeared in the corner of the hall. The small figure looked around and found that there was indeed no one else's ceremony, so he left from the side door of the palace.

Later that day, this small figure appeared in the room of the eunuch Ling and told Eunuch Ling all the things that happened in the hall.

After hearing the reaction of the Zhou brothers, Eunuch Ling couldn't help but sneer: "The Zhou brothers have always been very unreliable in everything they do. It would be fine if they angered the king this time, but they even wanted to threaten revenge. It was so stupid."

After thinking for a while, the eunuch ruled decided not to tell the King of Zhao about this matter first.

In this case, the Zhou family undoubtedly suffered a great loss. From a balanced perspective, King Zhao will definitely not continue to condemn and condemn the Zhou family in a short period of time.

Therefore, the eunuch-ling also planned to hide this matter first and take it out when it can be useful one day in the future. At that time, it may be able to help Zhao Kuo launch a fatal blow to the Zhou brothers.

Zhao Kuo returned to his mansion and was in a very happy mood.

"Everyone, this matter is over here. We can say that we have completely defeated the Zhou brothers. Then, our reforms and implementation in Pingkangfang and various parts of Zhao will inevitably occupy the most important position.

You will select some officials with more talented economic aspects to come here. I will take a look at it and arrange them to various places in Handan to familiarize themselves with the reform process. In the future, we will continue to arrange other counties in Zhao State to be responsible for promoting this economic reform locally."

This is actually the generous reward Zhao Kuo has obtained in this victory. You should know that there are many benefits behind organizational reform. After all, the so-called reform is to put it bluntly to take advantage of one party to fill the other party. Since Zhao Kuo has become a force to preside over the reform, Zhao Kuo naturally has the most benefits he has obtained in the reform.

Moreover, this reform will definitely help China's commercial economy to a new street. After the business is promoted, the tax revenue of Zhao will naturally develop, and the lives of the people will be greatly improved. When the people talk about this reform, they will only take into account Zhao Kuo's contributions and will not consider Zhou Shaofen's side.

So Zhao Kuo looked like he had killed a young master Zhou Tuesday this time, but in fact, Zhao Kuo not only could attack the Zhou brothers, but also gained benefits. More importantly, all the prestige brought by the reform was taken by Zhao Kuo. It can be said that he won three goals in one fell swoop.

When Zhao Kuo thought of this, he suddenly became more happy. He smiled and said to all the confidants and allies present: "Okay, okay, no one will leave tonight. Let's have a meal here, so I'll never return without getting drunk!"

The whole thing was basically over here. Early in the morning of the second day, outside the gate of Pingkangfang, it immediately became a temporary execution ground. Many people from all over Handan came and began to watch in a dark way.

Without any accident, the young master and his dozens of followers who were domineering in Pingkangfang and snatched hundreds of houses, all of whom were beheaded on the spot.

The blood stained the land outside the gate of Pingkang House red. The people who saw this scene not only did not have any fear in their hearts, but instead cheered.

For the people of Pingkangfang, this scene proves that taking care of the official uniforms still attaches great importance to everyone's interests.

"Sure enough, the king is still very wise. After all, he gave the people of Pingkangfang a sigh of relief. Those villagers whose houses were stolen should be able to return soon."

"You don't know this. In fact, this matter was not discovered by the king, but by Wu Xinjun.

If Wu Xinjun hadn't decided to arrest Mr. Zhou Er and his bully followers and led the matter to the king, how could these little people in Pingkangfang have the opportunity to show their grievances?"

"I see.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xinjun can not only bring earth-shaking changes to the lives of the people in Pingkangfang, but now he can preside over justice for us Pingkangfang people. He is simply the great savior and great benefactor of our Pingkangfang."

"If you ask me, we should build a temple for Wu Xinjun here, and we will go to sacrifices during the Chinese New Year and holidays, so that we can show our sincerity!"

Zhao Kuo's eldest son Zhao Qian was disguised and hid in the crowd. Listening to the praises of his father from around him, he felt proud and proud.

"I knew for a long time that my father is the best father in the world!"

Zhao Qian thought in his heart with satisfaction.

After the beheading, the officials of Zhao did not leave, but immediately announced the second news that made Pingkangfang people mixed.

"According to the orders of the King and Wu Xinjun, in order to avoid things like Pingkangfang in the future, starting today, all houses in Handan City can be opened freely for sale like Pingkangfang.

But everyone should also pay attention. When doing business, you must pay taxes to the state. If anyone wants to evade taxes, then we will inevitably send him to the border to build the Great Wall. Everyone should do it themselves."

After hearing these words from officials from Zhao State, the people of Pingkangfang were also in a very complicated mood and were talking a lot.

"It's over, it's over now. If there are dozens of markets in Handan City, and if all markets can do business like our Pingkangfang, then wouldn't our Pingkangfang have any advantages?"

"That's not necessarily true. You have to think about it. Our Pingkangfang has opened several months earlier than other markets. If we can't hold up a group of old customers in these few months, it would be natural to not make money.

It’s like the tofu shop of Wu Fei’s family. I think it’s not to mention that the whole city of Handan is spread out, even if it’s spread out across Zhao, Wu Fei’s tofu shop can make money. Who makes the tofu exclusive and delicious?”

"Actually, this is not bad. At least after the entire Handan City is fully deployed, there should be no more happening in the future when the young master came to us and forced to snatch the house on Tuesday."

Whether you understand or not, since this order has been issued, the people of Pingkangfang can only accept it.

As for the people in other places in Handan City, they naturally cheered and thundered after hearing this order.

Pingkangfang has made such money in this period, which has long been envious and jealous of people in other places in Handan City. Now that everyone has this opportunity, they can compete fairly and make money together, who is unhappy?

For Zhao Kuo, he has indeed fully achieved his goal, successfully promoted reform, and has solved the problems encountered in the reform.

What we need to do next is to continue to push this reform from Handan to the whole country, and continue to solve other problems encountered in large-scale reforms, and ultimately and thoroughly ensure that our country's business will have a rapid development.

As a time traveler, Zhao Kuo has long known the importance of business to a country.

Due to the suppression of business due to the dominance of Confucianism in later generations, the subsequent dynasties in China basically paid little attention to business. Even in the Song Dynasty, where commerce was the most developed, business was actually just an important source of tax payment in the state.

Of course this is not possible. We must build up the business consciousness of Chinese people. In the future, we will allow Chinese business companies to spread all over the world to exploit the gold, silver and jewelry of other alien races in this world. This is what Zhao Kuo really wants to see!
