The head of the Zheng family really suffered an unrestrained disaster. Who made the Xiong family, the family that was severely attacked by Suning, be the Zheng family's tentacle family? There is also the Zhao family in Lin Zhou and Zhao's family. Although the status is not high and the strength is not strong, it is also considered a tentacle family of the Zheng family. As a result, the servants were injured by Suning several people. The young master was shot by Suning and then shot with an arrow.

It can be said that the two tentacle families of Zheng were the worst hit, but Zheng himself did not intend to participate in this matter. Through this matter, Zheng suddenly found that his control over the tentacle family was a bit too relaxed. As the saying goes, he was not afraid of opponents like gods but afraid of teammates like pigs. Having a teammate like pigs is really much more terrifying than having an opponent like gods.

Zheng decided to strengthen its own management construction. Well, after the second round of storms of His Majesty Li Er ended, before that, we should concentrate our efforts to deal with the strikes from the emperor... Compared with the first strike, the second strike was even more serious. The emperor expressed extreme indignation about burning books and writing books. His words were very planned to compare the incident of Qin Shihuang burning books and burying scholars.

This is a very dangerous signal. The emperor did not intend to let go easily. He must hold on tightly. After dealing with Suning first, he announced that he would punish Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong for three months each to serve as a warning. It would be fined for Suning to be a child, but you two adults were also making trouble with each other. It was simply outrageous. I hope you can correct your salary sincerely!

After giving the three culprits a punishment that was not painful, this was a behavior. They all had to be punished and no one could be let go. The nature of this incident was very bad, and they alarmed a lot of foreign envoys. Some foreign leaders even sent people to inquire about this matter, and some even wanted to lend troops to the Tang Dynasty to quell the rebellion... This must be a ill-intentioned person. In the next round of military use, they would first use troops to them!

After dealing with Suning and others, the next step is to deal with the family forces. For this incident, His Majesty Li Er was no longer satisfied with the symbolic punishment caused by the last blow. For the Xiong family, the leader in the book burning, he directly confiscated all his family property and then exiled all his family members to Lingnan for three thousand miles, which was equivalent to directly sentenced them to death.

The reason was very sufficient. He was in trouble before, but he dared to burn books. It caused extremely bad influence. It was extremely disrespectful to books and culture. It was reasonable to abolish the Xiong family. Therefore, the people of Chang'an praised him and were very happy about the Xiong family's punishment. The poor Xiong family left Chang'an with their so-called noble bloodline of the Chu royal family. About three months later, there was a sudden news that the Xiong family was robbed on the way to Lingnan. The male family died. All the female family members were captured, and even the escort officers and soldiers were killed...

Later Suning found out about this incident. It was indeed an accident. There were too many robbers in the Jiangnan area who were disobeying control. For this reason, His Majesty Li Er was furious and ordered the entire army of 13,000 troops to dispatch a large number of bandits to suppress the bandits on a large scale. I don’t know how many robbers suffered unpredictable disasters in this incident. However, after thinking about it carefully, His Majesty Li Er should be quite happy, because this incident was a good thing for His Majesty Li Er to kill two birds with one stone. It not only completely eliminated the Xiong family, but also suppressed the bandits and strengthened the public security in Jiangnan.

The development of Jiangnan is gradually unfolding towards the surrounding area with Xiangyang and Jinling as the center. This process is accompanied by the promotion of high-yield crops and the increase in population, as well as the devastating stranglehold of the robbers on the mountain. Of course, it is not just the robbers who were destroyed.

The Xiong family was also retribution, and the whole family was exterminated. It is said that when the female family was rescued by the government army, most of whom had committed suicide and died. Only a few small daughters of each branch had not survived by the robbers. However, most of them were mentally ill and crying, looking very pitiful and sad. The soldiers were helpless. Finally, the Xiangyang Prefect reported to the court and asked for solutions. His Majesty Li Er stroked his pen and asked the Xiangyang Prefect to reward the meritorious soldiers and rewarded these women to the meritorious soldiers as wives. Those from famous families did not treat the soldiers unfairly, but also the last kindness of the court.

This is all a story. After the Xiong family was deposed, His Majesty Li Er continued to crack down on the other three tentacle families. First, he severely punished the Zhao family. They were all families involved in the burning of books and directly confiscated all their property. All members of the family were never allowed to become officials, and they were all expelled from Chang'an City and were not allowed to enter Chang'an for life.

The Lin family was confiscated and demoted to common people and drove them out of Chang'an. If they wanted to make a comeback, they had to start from scratch.

The Zhou family was confiscated half of its property, and all the businesses they operated were confiscated and expelled from Chang'an. Just like that, if you want to make a comeback, you have to rely on the remaining wealth to continue working hard.

The four tentacle families were basically deposed, and Chang'an City took another big step away from being completely controlled by His Majesty Li Er. The influence of the aristocratic families on Tang politics has been reduced again, but this is not the end. Next, His Majesty Li Er began to follow the clues and attack the head families of these tentacle families in a way that was held in a row. Although these families did not intervene when the tentacle family was destroyed, they still could not escape His Majesty Li Er's attack.

The most serious involvement of Zheng was demoted, seven former officials from Zheng or Zheng's family were demoted, and they were not reused for life. The local officials were also cleaned up. Like the Lu family, officials in most areas around Xingyang were replaced, and then the garrison was replaced by Zuo Xiaowei among the twelve guards. The general of Zuo Xiaowei was appointed by Yuchi Gong. The number of military officials increased greatly, and military control was strengthened. After a major change, His Majesty Li Er's political power and military strength further invaded the Shandong family.

The back garden of this aristocratic family was torn into pieces by His Majesty Li Er and several nails were nailed into it. The Zheng family in Xingyang was helpless and could only continuously reduce the range of family activities to ensure absolute control of the core area of ​​the family. Several other families and a group of small and medium-sized families also felt the extreme danger and spared no effort to help the Zheng family. Finally, after His Majesty Li Er completed his political and military intervention in this area, he stopped directly.

Just when these families were relieved, they thought that the second round of attack by His Majesty Li Er was over. Who knew that this was just the beginning, His Majesty Li Er had a backup plan!

That is the Zonghengsi. The Zonghengsi, which was dormant and did not speak for a long time, mastered a huge money-making machine like the Western Turkic Caravan, the Zonghengsi had strong economic strength and a foreign relations network, and had a good relationship with many foreign leaders from all directions. The plan for the Datang Commercial Town established by the Western Turkic Caravan around the Western Turkic Royal Court was very successful. Not only did the Western Turkic people often come here to buy and sell things or even settle, but also attracted a large number of ethnic groups that could not trade with the Tang Dynasty.

These ethnic groups either had bad wars with the Tang Dynasty or were too far away and inconvenient. So when they heard that the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty were in trade with each other, they rushed over, not only from the Western Regions. People from the north and east had people to do business. Therefore, the Western Turkic merchant group, which was mastered by the blood dipzis of the Zonghengsi, had interacted with the caravan leaders of these ethnic groups through the transaction process.

As mentioned earlier, ethnic minorities and Han people generally recognize people when doing business. If they do business with one person, they will always do business with this person. They think that the Han people are very good at scammers. Therefore, they usually choose the person they believe most to do single-line business and only trade with him. Therefore, many shops in the Western Turkic merchant group controlled by Blood Dripzi have good relationships with these foreigners. After talking to each other, they become familiar with each other.

It was during the period when His Majesty Li Er was about to further attack the aristocratic families. Through the Suning and Qi family incidents, His Majesty Li Er found that these big families were very expensive. Moreover, most of them rely on the Tentacles family to do business outside to earn protection fees and other things. A considerable number of these Tentacles families do business with foreigners. Doing business with foreigners is definitely a huge profit, and only huge profits can support their huge expenses.

His Majesty Li Er realized that before Suning handled the Western Turkic Merchant, these aristocratic families had already opened up international commercial routes and were at the forefront of the times. Damn, why didn’t I notice it long ago? His Majesty Li Er asked Suning, the national policy consultant, about this. Suning smiled proudly: "I have noticed it a long time ago, and ordered the Zonghengsi to conduct careful investigation and preparation on this. Once the time comes, you can take action!"

His Majesty Li Er was stunned and realized that Suning used the Western Turkic Merchant Group to make not only a lot of money, but also not only used to squeeze out the Western Turkic Merchant Group and control the Western Turkic Merchant Group to fight economic wars, but also used to accumulate personal connections with foreign tribes and tie the Western Turkic Merchant Group and foreign tribes together, thus creating a very huge and terrifying commercial chariot. The most important thing is that this commercial chariot is completely controlled by the imperial court and controlled by the Zonghengsi. In every Western Turkic Merchant team sent over, a considerable number of them were trained by the Zonghengsi - Blood Drops!

These blood droplets operate business as merchants and earn a lot of money. The money is divided equally with Zonghengsi. Zonghengsi will not worry that these blood droplets will betrayed, because their families are all in the control of Zonghengsi, and they have sworn before joining the blood droplet. Once they join, they cannot withdraw. They can retire at the age of 60, but they are still people from the Blood Drill. Once they withdraw, it means death.

Blood Drops are quite clear about their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and their responsibilities. They are all people with strong political and innocent family backgrounds. They learn business knowledge, and then use this knowledge to make a fortune in the Western Turks, establish their own relationships, and gradually master the dominant power of the Western Turks Chamber of Commerce. Once the number of people is superior, the Western Turks Chamber of Commerce, which was established in a democratic manner on the surface will become a subordinate department of the Zonghengsi, which is specifically for the foreign strategy of the Zonghengsi.

Zonghengsi will become the economic army of the Tang Dynasty, using the economic war model to create opportunities for the intervention of the Tang Dynasty's military forces. Once the time is ripe, after the Tang Dynasty's military forces are occupied, they will establish a very sound rule in the shortest time, because the local economy is completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty. After it is mastered, the local people's livelihood will be completely relied on these masters, and whoever occupyes it will not make much sense.

At the same time, in order to strictly monitor whether these blood droplets after having huge wealth will be shaken, they will also have a very secret blood droplet second group - Blood Flower, which means that the blood droplet falls into blood flowers. This is only known and mastered by Suning and Du Ruhui, who are specifically responsible for monitoring the internal blood droplets and the commercial giants of the Western Turkic merchant group. Once an accident occurs, Blood Flower has the right to take action first and then report.

It is really difficult to do all this, but the effect is very obvious. The foreign caravans and Western Turkic merchant groups cooperated very happily, and at the same time expressed the difficulty of doing business with the Tang Dynasty. The Western Turkic merchant group took the opportunity to say that although the Tang Dynasty did not allow trade, the Western Turkic merchant group had special powers to trade with them within the scope of the Western Turkic Republic, which was not illegal. After the foreign leaders learned the news, the Western Turkic merchant group also made a quotation. They almost immediately decided to give up their original commercial ties with the aristocratic families and instead cooperate with the Western Turkic merchant group with huge guarantees.
