Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"If it exceeds a hundred taels and is less than a thousand taels, the official position will not be guaranteed, the person will be killed, and the children of the family will not be allowed to take scientific examinations within three generations."

"If it exceeds one thousand taels, for every additional thousand taels, relatives in the family will also be punished."

"Anyone who exceeds [-] taels will be killed directly."

Speaking of this, Kong Xiaomei paused, looked at Chu Mo with a slight disdain and continued:

"As for those like you who take the initiative to pay bribes, the court will punish them severely."

"No matter how big or small the bribe is, as long as it is reported and the situation is true, the family property will be confiscated and the person will be exiled to the army."

Hearing that Kong Xiaomei said the matter was so serious, Chu Mo couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

He remembered that after he entered Shaanzhou City, the official who received him took a lot of money from him.

If according to what the other party just said, the official only needs to count the money he got from his hands, which would be enough to kill the other party.

What's more, judging from his behavior, there is no sign of cowardice at all, and he should have been in that position for a long time. Calculating this, is it enough to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan?

Do you want to find an opportunity to scare and blackmail the other person and make him vomit out all the food he has eaten before, and also compensate yourself a large amount of interest and mental damage?

Kong Xiaomei, who didn't know that Chu Mo was distracted, just thought that the other party was frightened by her words. She proudly stood on tiptoe, patted Chu Mo on the shoulder and said:

"But don't worry, you just talked about it and didn't take any action. This is considered an attempted crime and it's not a big deal. As long as you let our family stay with you for a longer time, I will not report it. of."

After saying that, a pair of smart eyes stared at Chu Mo, waiting for his answer.

Chu Mo was interrupted by Kong Xiaomei's slap, but he was not angry.

He had a pretty good impression of this quirky little girl.

He immediately nodded cooperatively and said:

"Thank you very much, Miss Kong. In this way, I will directly make the decision. You and your family can live here as long as you want."

"In addition, if your parents are willing, you can find a job with me as a domestic helper."

When she heard the word "helper", Kong Xiaomei's face darkened.

"Sir, do you know that you are in Dazhou now, not Tang? If you still don't understand the situation, you don't need me to report it. You will probably be taken away by the officials to be held accountable within two miles of your trip. "

Seeing that Miss Kong was so serious, Chu Mo couldn't help but frown again. Why, he said the wrong thing again.

Seeing Chu Mo's silly look, Kong Xiaomei sighed and said:

"Didn't the officers and soldiers who sent you here tell you the basic situation of our great Zhou Dynasty along the way?"

"In our Zhou Dynasty, if you have no fame or official status and have not reported it to the court, you are not allowed to hire slaves. Once found, it will be an violation of the rules. In addition to confiscating half of the family property, you will be arrested by the Yamen. Go hit the boards.”

Hearing this, Chu Mo's eyes widened immediately. What rule is this?What does Chu Xin want to do?Isn't she afraid that all the clans in the world will unite to resist her?

However, before Chu Mo could ask the questions in his heart, Kong Xiaomei seemed worried that Chu Mo would do something strange again, and continued:

"In addition, in our Dazhou, all Dazhou people are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. You must remember this clearly, and don't think that you are a big deal just because you have some bad money."

Hearing this, Chu Mo couldn't help but laugh mockingly:

"Little girl, isn't that right? When I came here before, I heard people say that there are still people with low status in Zhou Dynasty. How can it be said by you that everyone is equal? ​​Are you deceiving me? , Don’t understand the rules?”

Kong Xiaomei rolled her eyes, looked at Chu Mo like a fool and said:

"Didn't you hear clearly? I'm talking about us, the people of Great Zhou."

"How can people like you who migrated from the Tang Dynasty or were captured due to defeat in the war be on the same level as us?"

"No matter how rich you are and how high your status is, you are still a head lower than us when it comes to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"This is because I don't care about you. If I really care about you, or go to the Yamen to file a lawsuit, like you, you will have to get 10 punches before entering."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Mo was petrified on the spot.

What exactly does Chu Xiang want to do?She desperately tried to improve the status of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Could it be that she wanted to make the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty have a sense of belonging to the Great Zhou court, make them feel superior to others, and thus support her rule?

Thinking of this, Chu Mo thought of what he said about land before.

The Zhou court nationalized all the land, which was obviously an attempt to suppress the clan gentry.

Now they are not allowed to hire slaves, which in disguise is lowering the status of these clan gentry. Isn't she afraid that these people will unite to resist her?

In fact, what Chu Mo didn't know was that when Chu Xin first implemented this set of laws, she did encounter all kinds of resistance, and the clan gentry did unite to resist her.

But at that time, firearms had just been born, and all the troops were in Chu Xin's hands. Those who dared to resist her were all killed by her.

By the way, even their property and fields were all nationalized.

It took Chu Xin several years and countless butcher's knives to forcefully implement a series of laws.

Now in Dazhou, there are basically no wealthy gentry from aristocratic families, almost all of them were killed by Chu Xin.

Moreover, because of the promotion of compulsory education, the people of Dazhou all felt the emperor's grace and were extremely convinced of Chu Xin's rule.

Therefore, even though Chu Xin killed many people, she did not arouse resistance from the people. On the contrary, the more she killed, the higher her dominance became.

After talking with Kong Xiaomei, Chu Mo had a general understanding of Dazhou's current situation.

That is, Chu Xin has completely built Da Zhou like an iron barrel. Her government orders are unimpeded. Any remarks or behavior that dare to be disrespectful to Her Majesty the Empress will be reported to the government immediately.

For those who dare to slander and disobey Her Majesty the Empress, the government will immediately teach them how to behave. They will either send them to the frontier, exile them in the army, or charge them with rebellion and wipe out the entire clan.

After listening to Kong Xiaomei's narration, Chu Mo couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, I was new here and my energy was restrained by the village chief before I had time to cause trouble.

If you don't know this, after you deal with the village chief, free up your hands, and want to do something in Dazhou, I'm afraid you will be sent to jail in a minute, and you will be imprisoned.

You know, there are not only one or two pairs of eyes around you looking at you now.

Now it can be said that the people of the entire Zhou Dynasty may become Chu Xin's spies. As long as he dares to act erratically, they will dare to report him and teach him a new life in minutes.
