Chapter 217: An Iron-Clad Family, A Flowing Dynasty

After solving the enemies in Baiyanling, there is no obstacle on the way to Qianshui City.

It only took half a day for the White Tiger Army and Qinglong Army to arrive at Qianshui City.

The general of Yi State who escaped early had brought back the military information. The defenders in the city were extremely frightened, fearing that the Qinglong Army would form a battle formation again, so the defenders directly opened the city to surrender without daring to offer any resistance.

When accepting the surrender, Wang Taier asked: "Your Excellency, as a general of the Yi Kingdom, why did you surrender without a fight?"

The guard general of Yi State said with a dark face: "My family is all in the city, and there are so many innocent people in the city. If your army uses Qinglong Dharma again, there is no chance that the people in this city will be spared."

As soon as the Dharma appears, you have to fight even if you don't want to fight.

By then, Qianshui City will indeed face a city of destruction.

Wang Taier smiled dumbly, how could it be so easy to condense the battle formation?

It is a blessing to be condensed once, and it is a miracle to be able to condense for the second time!

Want to condense for the third time? That would be indescribably lucky.

The work of receiving the city went smoothly, but the process of collecting grain was somewhat troublesome.

The State of Yi had requisitioned grain many times before the start of the war. Although the surrounding area of ​​Qianshui City was a grain-producing area, there was not much surplus grain, and it was almost all collected by the army of the State of Yi.

However, what Yi Guo's army confiscated was food from poor households, while tyrants, wealthy households, and big landlords actually still had food.

Zhang Qian discussed with Wang Taier and decided to collect grain directly from the local tycoons, rich households and big landlords.

Doing so will leave some consequences. For example, after the army leaves, the powerful, wealthy households and large landowners who have been expropriated for food will unite and recruit troops to cut off the food routes of the army.

This kind of thing often happens, big countries need a lot of officials, rich and powerful families and big landlords are the ruling class.

Some of their family members are officials in the court, and some are officials in one side, and the foundation is in the country.

Once the imperial court falls, their years of accumulation may be wiped out.

Under such circumstances, they will naturally do their best to help the court tide over the difficulties.

The reverse is also the same, the basis of the rule of a big country is not ordinary proletarians, but the powerful, rich and big landlords.

Therefore, when collecting grain, the country did not dare to collect grain from the powerful, wealthy households, and big landlords.

After all, the work of collecting grain is mainly done by local officials. If local officials do not cooperate, how can they collect grain and grass?

Tyrants, rich households, and big landlords are actually easy to deal with, mainly because those aristocratic families hidden in the mountains are more difficult to deal with.

Whether it is Daqian or Dayi, there are many aristocratic families that have been passed down for more than a thousand years.

Long-term accumulation has given these aristocratic families a rich heritage, and they have enough strength to build cities in the mountains.

Even if the countries outside use their brains, they will not be able to affect these aristocratic families.

On the contrary, aristocratic families had great influence on secular dynasties.

Under normal circumstances, the children of aristocratic families will go outside to become officials, do business, give lectures... expand their influence through various channels, and gain more benefits to strengthen the family.

They like stability, so they especially hate war.

Dayi Kingdom took the initiative to launch a war against Dagan, and those aristocratic families did not support it very much.

The reason is very simple. Once a war breaks out, many industries will be greatly affected, which is not in the interests of aristocratic families.

Many times, in order to make up for the loss of profits, aristocratic families will even dump supplies to enemy countries.

As for whether their country will suffer more losses as a result, they don't care.

An iron-clad family and a flowing dynasty.

Dynasties will perish, but great families will always exist. .
